This business trip was mainly about going to hell.
In the literal sense, he was going to hell.
As one of the leading teachers, he took the students who were about to graduate to hell to support the research institute's construction of the third phase of the Abyss.
The main person in charge was Huai Shi's old acquaintance, Andrea, while Huai Shi and Martin were the assistants.
There were a total of ninety-one members. Forty of them were scholars and workers drawn from the school's direct departments, and the rest were all students.
With Huai Shi's power, no one would say anything if he added two more people.
Or rather, it was good enough that someone was willing to do the hard work of going to hell.
According to the task assigned to him by the teaching and research room, it was mainly to collect some special plant samples for research. As for the rest … it was up to him.
It sounded like a vacation.
But Huai Shi didn't think that his cheap teacher would be so kind. There was probably a trap waiting for him.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have brought Yuan Yuan and Hut in the Woods.
But weren't there so many people who weren't as good as them?
With Professor Andrea personally leading the team, and so many people from the second and first phase of the project, as well as the local person in charge, at least the safety factor was guaranteed.
Moreover, although the Ivory Tower liked to mess around, they wouldn't joke about the students.
After all, it was an educational institution. If something bad really happened, they wouldn't let the students get involved at all.
The teachers would be the first to send them off.
In this case, why not bring these two students and let them broaden their horizons? Moreover, wasn't he here as a teacher?
Well, in a sense, being around him might be a little more dangerous than being in hell …
The Yuan Family and the Lin Family would have the necessary protective measures.
The Yuan Family's grandfather doted on his eldest granddaughter and couldn't wait to dress her up before she went out. The Lin Family had always been paranoid. Wherever they went, they wanted to be the first to know the escape route … If there was danger, they would definitely be the first to run.
No one would have this kind of reaction.
As for the curriculum, for classical music appreciation, Huai Shi left homework and lesson plans, and a student who was about to graduate from the concert group would take over the class. There shouldn't be any problems.
And the ecology of the abyss had nothing to do with him. There were plenty of teaching assistants. Moreover, the book had already been published, and there was nothing else he could teach her.
The vice principal approved a leave of absence without any expression on his face. He only told them to live up to the expectations of the school and then waved his hand to let them go.
Everything went unbelievably smoothly.
At seven o 'clock the next morning, Huai Shi changed into the gray windbreaker and saddle bag that he had not worn for a long time. He felt a burst of joy from the bottom of his heart.
After saying goodbye to his family, he went to the auditorium where they had gathered before the departure.
There were already many people outside the auditorium.
Martin, who was the youngest among them, was standing at the front. When he saw Zhang Zian coming over, he retracted his gaze and pretended not to see him.
Perhaps he regretted not being able to touch Huai Shi's trophy.
Why was this child being so polite?
Huai Shi sighed and gave up the idea of greeting him. He turned to the side not far away.
There were large and small metal boxes piled up into a small hill. They were all instruments and tools to be brought over.
Raymond, who had met Huai Shi once before, was currently leading a few people to sort out the items and take inventory. He wrapped his coat around his waist early in the morning and only wore a large T-shirt that was stretched by his muscles.
After seeing Huai Shi, he waved his hand enthusiastically, "I didn't expect Mr. Huai Shi to have a business trip as soon as you arrived … You're so early, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten, no need."
Huai Shi declined the bread that Raymond handed over. He looked at the iconic truck behind him and asked, "Mr. Raymond, are you coming too?"
"After all, he's from the school guard. He's the head of the bodyguards there, and he has to do rough work."
Raymond waved his hand casually and invited Huai Shi and the others to sit with him on the pile of boxes. After exchanging a few pleasantries, most of the people had already arrived.
In addition to Lin Shijiu and Yuan Yuan, who looked very obedient next to Huai Shi, the other students stood in groups on the small square. Some of them obviously didn't sleep last night and were staring at the two dark circles under their eyes. Everyone was talking excitedly about something.
They were full of expectations for this trip to the Abyss.
Looking at it this way, he felt more and more like a teacher leading a team on an excursion.
It was just that … the following journey was unlikely to be easy and pleasant.
"Is everyone here?"
After Andrea arrived and counted the number of people, she nodded and didn't make a long speech. She simply divided the students into groups according to the division of labor and duties. Then she waved her hand and signaled the students to get ready to go.
Amidst the low tremors, the dust on the ground suddenly rose into the air.
When all the students looked at each other, the entire small square began to sink rapidly … Accompanied by the blazing sparks of friction between countless gears, the place where they were located sank into the ground.
The small square began to slide diagonally along the steel rails like a large freight elevator.
The entire underground of the ivory tower had been hollowed out long ago.
The huge, ancient-looking metropolis was, in fact, supported by countless super-large structures. Just like the Rubik's Cube, as long as it rotated slightly, it would reveal a completely different appearance.
At this moment, as the scene in front of them quickly turned, the faint morning light in the gap above their heads quickly faded away. Then, it was replaced by countless complex structures that closed together.
With the complex take-off, landing, and operation, in the sharp sound of steel colliding, the warm and peaceful scenery disappeared without a trace and was replaced by a neat order composed of steel and machinery.
The students couldn't help but become serious and were infected by this solemn atmosphere.
About ten seconds later, the landing of the platform quickly stopped and pieced together on the solid ground. As if it had always been like this, only the different lines on the floor reminded them that they had come to a different place.
White light shone down from the high ceiling.
On the wide platform, except for a few workers walking around, no one else could be seen.
And an old-fashioned steam train also slowly stopped next to the platform with a low roar.
The train was not long, with a total of seven or eight carriages. The interior decoration was quite exquisite, and there were berths and toilets. It was thoughtful but not luxurious, and would not give people the illusion of a vacation.
On the other side of the crane, Raymond's truck was loaded with all the goods into the cargo compartment. And Raymond took the hat and key from the conductor's hand and went directly to the driver's seat.
"Well, everyone get on the train according to your groups and numbers. Be careful not to forget your luggage. After we start the train, we won't give you time to get it.
Starting from the first group, Teacher Huai Shi will supervise — "
"Ah, okay."
Huai Shi reached out, took the list, and then … handed it to Lin Shijiu and Yuan Yuan.
If the master had something to do, the disciple would do it.
He just sat on the train and pretended to do it.
Lin Shijiu and Yuan Yuan would take care of the rest.
In fact, the main command and coordination was Lin Shijiu, and Yuan Yuan was responsible for supervision — the girl in the gray skirt was still carrying a leather suitcase with the Shan Jun sword in it. She just stood there, even if she did not speak.
But her usual dignified and serious expression made the atmosphere serious.
She was also responsible for supervising Lin Shijiu, so that he did not deliberately put people who were enemies and did not see eye to eye with each other, so that sparks could be created.
All the students who got on the train would respectfully nod and greet Huai Shi when they passed by him, and then go in obediently.
Many of them did not know who Martin was in front of Huai Shi. Instead, they were confused. What's the matter with the arrogant kid next to him?
Why is he staring at me?
Martin was very angry. Martin did not speak. Martin decided not to argue with this group of low-IQ simple-minded people. Martin entered single-player mode.
This made Huai Shi very surprised. His prestige among the students was not low.
Although the Botany Mode he represented was only a compulsory course for first-year students, the senior students did not see him much. But they still heard of this teacher who had skyrocketed in his first month at the school.
And since he held a fan meeting at the Sea Fishing Club, there were even fewer people who had not heard of him.
Morgan and the others wanted to suppress the news and pretend that it did not happen. But the problem was that one of the people who went that day was Lin Shijiu.
As soon as Huai Shi stepped out of the door, the 4K Blu-ray version of the fan meeting was posted on the school forum.
The direct result was that the turnover of the Ivory Tower cafeteria that night dropped by half.
New idols, beautiful teachers, vicious students from rich and powerful families, secret clubs, unspeakable conspiracies and unimaginable darkness, everyone did some shameful things behind closed doors.
More than half an hour, the scale was amazing, the process was full of twists and turns, the plot was full of ups and downs, tense and exciting … Everyone was young and vigorous, who had never seen such a thing before?
The combination of all kinds of elements that made people blush and their hearts beat made many people unable to sleep well at night. After a sleepless night with Teacher Jacob groaning, they were full of admiration for Huai Shi, who was both virtuous and artistic.
It was impossible not to admire him.
Do you know the 108 ways to cut off a head? Have you seen it? Have you learned it?
In just a few days, Huai Shi's notoriety had spread from the pure-blood club to the new students. And the Ivory Tower branch of the Prince of Paradise fan club received more than 4,000 applications to join. The price of the out-of-print Prince of Paradise card soared by 10% again, and the sales of the Star Cluster card pack, Judge, soared again …
The business executives of Super World Records laughed so hard that they could not close their legs, and wanted to give Huai Shi another medal for the Little Expert of the Year.
Soon, the students boarded the train in an orderly manner.
After the announcement, the train set off amidst the rhythmic beating of the rails.
It was estimated that it would take 71 hours, passing through four border stations.
There were 97 passengers in total.
Destination: Hell.
Depth: 9.
Final station:
The Land of Dusk.
