Under the confusion of being unable to distinguish between true and false, I tried to clear away the fog and looked around, and in that chaotic scene environment, I tried to find the right way out of the predicament.
I am currently in a state of confusion and illusion that many people will never touch in their lifetime. I don’t know who I am. I can’t figure out where I am. The only thing I know is that I am me, and the only one who has an impression
Then...
That figure.
The soft and slender figure under the poignant moonlight, the slowly raised arms, and the flying cherry blossoms look like a fairy.
I seem to know that beautiful figure.
No, not acquaintance, but very familiar, very familiar, so familiar that it is unforgettable, so familiar that even if the brain memory is completely deprived, you can still think of the other person, and you can still vaguely know him with some special feelings hidden deep in your heart.
impression.
It's just that impressions are impressions, but who is she? Who is she?
perhaps……
Only by thinking of her can I break free from the shackles and truly recognize myself.
She is equivalent to a key.
The ultimate key that can solve all my mysteries and even save me!
………
Compared with the first three people, Tian Dahu's situation is slightly better. At first glance, apart from his pale face, he doesn't have any violent reaction. It's not because he has a firm mind or because he takes life and death lightly, but because he learned from the news, or that
Tian Dahu knew more than others. After all, he had learned a lot of information that others did not know through his previous exchanges with Chen Fei, such as the mysterious appearance on his desk.
The Arabic numeral 36 seemed to be within his expectations, but unfortunately, expectations are still expectations. When he saw it with his own eyes in reality, when the number representing death really appeared in front of him, it was true that although Tian Dahu tried hard to control his inner fear, even though he held on with force on the surface,
, but the pair of slightly trembling legs under the table betrayed him, and also showed the extent of the fear in the pudgy boy's heart at this moment.
The only surprise is still Tian Xiaoya.
Just like the previous two times, at this moment, Tian Xiaoya looked at the Arabic numerals on his desk and stared at 33. His expression was as calm as ever. There was no trace of fear on his face.
She glanced away and looked away. Her face was expressionless and she just glanced at the numbers on the table, nothing more.
Chen Wen had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions. After observing the reactions of others, Chen Wen first took a deep breath, then instinctively lowered his head and looked at his desk and the tabletop.
Then, Chen Wen saw the numbers, and as expected, he saw Arabic numerals.
only……
But it's not the 38 as expected, but...
0.
It turned out to be a big Arabic numeral 0!
Seeing this, Chen Wen was shocked, his pupils suddenly tightened, and he was stunned on the spot.
(What's going on? Although I did have new Arabic numerals on the desktop like everyone else, why is it not 38? Instead, it is 0?)
Why?
Yes, Chen Wen was a little dizzy. Even if he was extremely smart, even if he was extremely intelligent, he was still confused after seeing the numbers displayed on his desk. He was stunned. This is not to blame for his confusion.
, after all, there are a total of 38 students in their class, and the previous numbers have always been consistent with the number of students. Then by analogy, corresponding numbers will appear on the student desks every day. This was the case for Tian Dahu and his classmates just now, the numbers range from 34
It was expected to reach 37, but...
Why is it that when it is my turn, the number on the table is not the expected 38? Instead, 0 appears?
Unexpected, completely unexpected.
Therefore, Chen Wen was a little confused. He was caught off guard and fell into a state of confusion in front of this sudden accident.
Fortunately, this confusion did not last long. After getting over the initial surprise and doubt, I raised my hand to touch my chin habitually, frowning slightly. After that, I instinctively started to think, and my brain started to work quickly.
At the same time, when Chen Wen was staring at the numbers on the table and lost in thought, Tian Dahu, who had just recovered from fear, also noticed something strange about his friend. He turned his head and saw Chen Wen staring at the table as if in a daze.
Here, Tian Dahu is a little puzzled. After all, in his personal impression, numbers are numbers. No matter who it is, once numbers appear on the desk, it is equivalent to being sentenced to death. The numbers themselves are meaningless. What else does it mean besides representing a death sentence?
Do you care?
Having said that, unexpectedly, at this moment, Chen Wen stared at the desktop for a long time without responding?
Is he scared? Like that coward Li Bin, who was scared to death? No, it's impossible. Judging from the other party's recent performance, Rao is well aware of the existence of the tiger, but his buddy always maintains his composure and is better than himself.
Too many. It can even be said that the other party is the calmest one in the whole class, and the one with the strongest observation ability, and he is also calm even though he is calm.
Don’t forget to analyze and look for clues, otherwise you wouldn’t have proposed various survival methods one after another and finally doubted Tian Xiaoya’s true identity. Would such a person be frightened? To say the least, even if the numbers representing death have now emerged
On the desktop, Chen Wen would be afraid due to human instinctive reaction to death, but he shouldn't be frightened by it, right?
Um?
So, with suspicion and curiosity, he put aside his random thoughts and followed the other person's gaze. The short and fat boy stretched his neck and looked at Chen Wen's table.
Then, when he saw the big number 0 on the opponent's desktop, it was exactly as expected. Tian Dahu's eyes widened suddenly. In addition to being surprised, he blurted out immediately:
"Eh? This, this... Chen Wen, what's the number on your desk? Why is it like this?"
Obviously, similar to Chen Wen, or in addition to Chen Wen, Tian Dahu has recently also figured out the numbers and the daily appearance patterns of numbers. Just now, when he saw with his own eyes that Sun Li was 34, Li Bin was 35, Zhao Lanting was 37, and
Even if I didn't look at Chen Wen's desktop specifically at first, the short and fat boy would have instinctively determined that the other person's desktop was 38. After all, there were only 38 people in the whole class, and the numbers always corresponded to the number of people in the class. I never thought...
Back to the topic, due to being too shocked and confused, during the questioning, Tian Dahu pointed at the desk and looked at Chen Wen with surprised eyes. He really hoped that the other party could give an explanation. Unfortunately, Chen Wen, who was deep in thought, did not
Ignoring him, he still stared at the table and sat in silence for a long time.
It is said that one stone stirs up a thousand waves. As time passed, except for Tian Dahu who came to his senses first, the other students currently in the classroom also came back from the initial fear and sluggishness. Therefore, Tian Dahu was surprised just now.
The inquiry inevitably attracted the attention of several other people. Sure enough, out of curiosity, after Tian Dahu, Li Bin and Zhao Lanting also walked to Chen Wen's seat. Seeing that most people were like this, they forcibly stopped crying, and Sun Li followed closely behind.
Sure enough, when the three of them saw the number 0 on Chen Wen's desktop, several of them had similar reactions to Tian Dahu's. They all stared at the table with surprised expressions. No one spoke for a while. However, maybe they thought this matter had nothing to do with them or maybe it was.
The pessimism was too strong. After observing for a moment and sighing, Li Bin shook his head and said in a desperate tone: "It doesn't matter, the number is meaningless. Anyway, as long as the number appears on the desk, anyone will die."
Strictly speaking, what Li Bin said is correct. The reason does not need to be explained at all. After several days of observation and confirmation, it does not matter what the number is or whose desk the number appears on. Once a number appears on the desk, the owner of the desk will be the owner of the desk.
Will disappear! The ending without exception is that no one is alive or dead, and no corpse is seen. Based on this point of view, so in Li Bin's view, what if Chen Wen's desktop numbers are strange? What if the numbers are unexpected?
Does this mean anything? Isn’t the result the same as death?
It is also worth mentioning that due to memory interference, no one except Chen Wen and Tian Dahu, who was specifically informed by him, knows that Tian Xiaoya has escaped death figures several times in a row.
Ta, da, da, da.
At the same time, in the classroom, just as Chen Wen was deep in thought and meditation, while the others were gathered around the table and talking, with the sound of a series of footsteps, the man who had been sitting in his seat for a long time in the back row of the classroom could be seen.
Tian Xiaoya made a move. She stood up from the table and walked slowly towards where Chen Wen and everyone else were.
Noticing Tian Xiaoya approaching, the other three people ignored it. After all, in the eyes of Li Bin, Sun Li and Zhao Lanting, Tian Xiaoya was just an unlucky guy like them. Only Tian Dahu was very frightened, especially when
The other party comes closer
Afterwards, he instinctively shuddered, and while trembling, the short and fat boy hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to look at Tian Xiaoya. It is conceivable that for Tian Dahu, who thought he knew the 'truth', he was right at this moment.
The thin girl in front of me was extremely scared!
As for Chen Wen...
Perhaps he had been deep in thought and was unaware of everything around him. When Tian Xiaoya came closer, he did not respond or move. He was still sitting in his personal seat with his head slightly bowed. He didn't know what to think about Tian Xiaoya.
Xiaoya was not aware of her approach.
As the footsteps got closer, Tian Xiaoya, like Li Bin and others, soon gathered in front of Chen Wen's desk. After seeing the numbers on the desk clearly, for some reason, the girl's silent face that had not changed for thousands of years appeared.
There was a rare strange color, and he seemed to be also very concerned about the obvious number 0 in front of him.
Then……
He turned his head slightly and shifted his gaze to Chen Wen's face, who was bowing his head in deep thought.
At this moment, looking at Chen Wen who was deep in thought, and at the young man who had been silent for a long time, in a daze, it was not just an illusion, but it actually happened. If someone observes carefully, they will see the corners of Tian Xiaoya's mouth raised slightly.
………
Time continued to pass, and the environment was silent, giving people an indescribable feeling of desolation along with the entire campus.
As for the teaching building, as for the classroom of Class 2, Grade 3, it is now also wrapped in silence, wrapped in the indescribable desolation. Dead silence is the only subject here, and depression is the only melody here. Even though there are still several students here, but
, facing death, facing the upcoming final fate, they were afraid, and the human instinct of fear of death prompted them to turn to death.
Having said that, is the reality not like this? At this moment, regardless of the westward sun outside the window, ignoring everything around them, and looking at the Arabic numerals on their desks, the students were extremely frightened, because the appearance of the numbers represented death.
It also means that the six of them will never see the sun the next day!
However, nothing is absolute.
Just like everyone else was frightened when they discovered that the sun was about to set, through the window, when he saw the sun gradually setting towards the west, Chen Wen had also made up his mind at the same time, and then made a decision that was good for him personally and for everyone.
A very important final decision for the remaining students!
That is...
Tonight, he will end it all! Understand this matter thoroughly!!!
No matter the final outcome is death or alive!
Thinking of this, Chen Wen moved, and finally returned to reality from the long-lasting thinking state earlier. He suddenly raised his head, first looked at the slightly darkened sky outside the classroom window, and then turned back and said something to the people around him.
A rather surprising statement:
"I suggest that all of us don't go home tonight and just spend the night here."
After hearing what Chen Wen said, the reactions of the people present were indeed different. Some people nodded silently while others were confused. Upon seeing this, without waiting for others to ask, Chen Wen immediately explained directly:
"First of all, everyone knows that now all of us have been cursed by the death number. If we go home individually, I'm worried that the lone ones will be more likely to be attacked by lynx. Rather than doing this, it's better for everyone to gather together. At least, at least survive.
The probability is higher than that of one person alone.”
As mentioned above, since he plans to understand this time tonight, he must find a way to bring the remaining students together. Although his true intention is not consistent with what he said above, his words are still very reasonable, even if
It's bullshit that many people are powerful in front of a wolf, but at least you can stay together and keep warm, right? To put it bluntly, even if the final outcome cannot be changed, it is better to die with so many people with you than to be slaughtered by a wolf alone. It will make you feel better.
.
Sure enough, because Chen Wen's words touched everyone's minds and had this intention, Chen Wen finished his words. In front of him, Tian Dahu, who had just turned on the classroom lights, turned around and was the first to express his position: "I support Chen Wen's suggestion.
What he said makes sense. Regardless of whether we go home individually or stay at school, the tigers will eventually come to us. In this case, it would be safer if everyone stayed in school and gathered in one place."
After Tian Dahu finished expressing his attitude, he immediately looked at the other people. However, somewhat surprisingly, after a moment of silence, the second person to express his attitude was neither Zhao Lanting nor Li Bin nor Sun Li, but... Tian Xiaoya!
"I'll stay tonight too."
Tian Xiaoya just said this and stopped talking. Seeing that the other party actually supported her suggestion, Chen Wen couldn't help but look at the girl a few more times while being suspicious.
It is said that the power of motivation is very true. Let’s not talk about what they thought earlier. Seeing Chen Wen, Tian Dahu and Tian Xiaoya had already decided to stay at school overnight. Zhao Lanting, who had been frightened for a long time, instinctively said:
: "In that case, then, I'll stay too."
Sure enough, seeing that 4 people in Luli now agreed, Li Bin and Sun Li, who had been hesitating just now, finally panicked. In order to survive and seize the last glimmer of hope, they both hurriedly nodded and expressed their willingness to stay with everyone.
Stay together.
After confirming that the opinion was passed, Chen Wen nodded slightly as he looked at the people in the classroom who were willing to stay overnight. It seemed that these people were not as stupid as he thought. But after thinking about it, this result was natural. After all, human beings
They are advanced intelligent creatures. Faced with the threat of death, human beings' innate instinct to stick together will still prompt them to choose the path most likely to survive. Even if this path is not necessarily useful, in order to increase the chance of survival, even if it is just
It's just a bit of psychological comfort that humans will still make this choice.
Of course, instinct is instinct. Then again, except for Chen Wen’s unknown purpose and Tian Xiaoya’s unknown identity, there is another reason why the others finally decided to gather in the classroom to spend the night tonight. It has been confirmed many times that every time
Almost all students who disappear are alone after returning home.
It disappears at the drop of a hat, which means that a single person is extremely vulnerable to attack. To use war terms, it means that it is easy for the enemy to defeat them one by one. Rather than doing this, it is really better for everyone to gather together as a team. In case of danger, there is always a chance.
They take care of each other and can remind each other even in the worst case.
Shaking his head, Chen Wen temporarily put aside his distracting thoughts and shifted his gaze, looking at the slowly darkening sky outside the window. Then Chen Wen continued to say to everyone: "Since everyone has unanimously decided to stay, then this matter is settled.
Well, as for how to tell my family, let’s find our own reasons, and go to an off-campus restaurant or canteen for dinner.”
Due to the unanimous opinion and consensus reached, although most students did not have mobile phones, fortunately Lin Bin did. Soon, everyone called their families and gave various reasons to express their intention not to go home tonight. Others did the same, and Chen Wen did the same.
, what is a bit surprising is...
While everyone was on the phone, Tian Xiaoya sat silently aside with no intention of making a phone call.
(Don’t she need to contact her family?)
Of course, I was just thinking about it in my heart. At this time, Chen Wen didn't want to cause more trouble.
………
The alternation of night and day is a natural principle. Day will not exist forever, and night will not last forever. The only constant is the movement of time. As time passes, gradually, a new round of day and night alternation is coming. Perhaps to others today,
It was still an ordinary night, but for Chen Wen, and for the few students in Class 2, Grade 3, 21 Middle School who were still alive, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
The sun gradually sets and the sky gradually turns black.
About an hour and a half later, when the time gradually entered 20 o'clock, when black completely filled the sky, with all kinds of uneasiness, mixed with fear, several people who had finished dinner outside the school returned to the classroom one after another.
Li Bin and Sun Li were the last two people to return to the classroom. When they entered the classroom, they found that everyone else was already there. Seeing this, the two of them didn't say anything, just found two places and cuddled closely together.
Then, there was silence, silence, and unprecedented fear.
Everyone remains silent, no one says a word. It's not that there is no one to talk out of boredom, but that there is really nothing to say and you really don't know what to say?
I wonder who in this world can chat and laugh with others before death is imminent?
What's even more tragic is...
They have no way to deal with it! There is no possibility of survival and self-rescue!
Nowadays, the reason why we sit together in the classroom is just to keep warm, or, to put it more unpleasantly, it is just because we don’t want to die alone!
They were all sentenced to death. They could only wait for death to come. At most...
At most, he could struggle a little before dying.
At present, the huge campus is empty, and most of the classes in the teaching building are dark. The reason why I use most instead of all is because only the classroom of Grade 2 Class 2 is brightly lit, and there are 6 male and female students sitting in it who look frightened.
, Yes, these people all had solemn expressions and looked scared, but they did nothing. Even though the atmosphere was extremely depressing, no one said anything from beginning to end. The reason is as mentioned above, tonight, they are going to die, who will
In the mood to chat?
Feeling the dead silence and depression, Sun Li finally took the lead and couldn't help it anymore. Maybe she concluded that she wouldn't survive the night, or maybe she just couldn't resist the depressing atmosphere. While everyone else was on guard, Sun Li, who had been close to Li Bin, spoke.
, slowly raised his head and asked his boyfriend with a tone of fear and reluctance: "Li Bin, if I die, will you remember me in the future?"
Li Bin, who was looking around nervously, did not expect that Sun Li would ask him such a meaningless question. After hearing this, Li Bin even wanted to roar loudly on the spot, asking whether the other party was stupid. After all, this wolf did not just kill one person.
But everyone present will not let go! If you, Sun Li, are killed by Qi, how can I, surnamed Li, be safe and sound?
Fortunately, there is indeed some affection between the two. When he heard the voice, although he cursed in his heart, he still comforted her with a soft voice: "Don't worry, we will be fine."
Because I always felt like I didn’t even believe this short message when I said it, maybe in order to give myself more psychological comfort, after a pause, the boy pointed around and continued: "Look, there are six people in the classroom including the two of us. Even if there are really
I think there are so many of us who can still be prepared for a sneak attack. As long as we survive tonight, I think... I think we can survive."
Sun Li nodded and replied: "Well, although I am scared, I believe you."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Tian Dahu, who had been on alert with Chen Wen not far away, couldn't help but get goosebumps. If he hadn't been so nervous at the moment, given his temper, the other person's words alone would have been enough to make him act like him again.
He cursed like that during the day. After all, the situation now can be said to be extremely dangerous. He is almost dying. The two of them are still acting like a romantic drama. It's really speechless.
It is said that people are different from each other. In the face of a crisis, if Tian Dahu still has random thoughts, then for Zhao Lanting, she has nothing but fear. At this moment, looking at the dark night sky outside the window, the girl with glasses shivered instinctively.
In order not to go further, but also to seek some inner comfort, she shifted her gaze to the empty classroom. After a moment of hesitation, she moved, got up, left her seat, and walked towards where Chen Fei and Tian Dahu were.
