Even though we couldn't figure out the rules or the truth behind this strange world, Shallow Shallow and I were still able to observe and explore all sorts of strange phenomena in this world.
A dead fragment of a world, even though it couldn't react to new information from the outside world, it didn't mean that it was unchanging. We could still easily change its state. Lin Xue successfully lit up one of the school's posters, while Tawil and Bubble gave us more professional and systematic instructions to understand this world better. Currently, we could confirm that in terms of pure destruction, our actions would have the same effect on this dead world as on the real world. We could destroy the buildings here, write on the walls the words "Empire Soy Sauce Group Was Here", or even destroy the entire fragment of the world. Just like a hard drive that couldn't store data, even the most powerful virus wouldn't be able to infect it, but the data stored on it could still be violently destroyed by a piece of magnet. Of course, the relevant theories and conditions might be complicated, and the method of creating the effect would be different from using a powerful magnetic field to destroy a hard drive. Even with my mortal level IQ, I would never be able to understand the secret behind it …
Speaking of which, why would I ridicule my own IQ?
"Boss, there's someone in class here!"
While our group of Empire leaders were happily researching on how to display our graffiti on the school's bulletin board, Liliana had been using her one-meter tall height to do her best to jump under the window of a nearby school building. The little lass's efforts were fruitful. After jumping for nearly fifteen minutes, she finally found a classroom, and it seemed like there was someone in class.
This was normal, this world was like a videotape, it would constantly show the scenes before it was destroyed, so it shouldn't be strange for there to be someone in class before the apocalypse arrived, right?
"But that place is weird!"
Liliana saw our lack of interest and immediately pouted angrily. Then, she pulled my arm and dragged me to the window. "Come with me, boss lolicon! You can't just reject an invitation from a loli! "
Have you become used to ridiculing me as your daily routine?
After knocking Liliana's head lightly, I curiously leaned against the window of a certain school building and enjoyed the pleasure of peeping … err, observing. Meanwhile, Liliana, who was even shorter than Pandora, was jumping around beside me. "Boss, you're blocking me! Carry me up to take a look! "
What's wrong with this lass being overly excited?
Through the glass on the window, what appeared in front of us was an extremely ordinary middle school classroom. Approximately thirty to forty high school students were stupidly sitting in the spacious and bright classroom. Standing on the podium was a male teacher with slightly grizzled hair. His hands and the sleeves of his black suit were covered in chalk. They seemed to be in a math class, the blackboard was filled with complex formulas and various graphics. The teacher constantly walked on the podium, swiftly writing on the blackboard, stopping from time to time to explain, or to call out a student to answer, and the student whose name was called would actually immediately stand up and answer fluently.
Of course, this kind of scene was really very ordinary in a normal school, but — — this was a fragment of a destroyed world, right? These ghosts, could they really do something as complicated as learning? Or, in other words, the current classroom scene was just a repeat of the previous "recordings"?
This was the first time I saw these "ghosts" interact with each other. Previously, on the streets, all I saw were passersby who were in a hurry, like blind ants, they didn't communicate with each other at all. But now, the teacher and students in this classroom seemed to reflect some kind of interaction between individuals. Didn't this prove that even if it was a fragment of a dead world, there was still a certain degree of communication within it?
Alright, Tawil would definitely like this topic.
And following Liliana's guidance, I also saw the "strange" place that she mentioned.
In the last row of the classroom, there was a boy and a girl who looked like high school students, these two people's behavior was obviously different from the "ghosts".
They were both wearing casual clothes suitable for the late spring and early summer season, a stark contrast to the monotonous school uniforms in the classroom. One of the girls with a baby face and short hair kept wandering among the students in the last row, as if she was playing a prank, from time to time she would shake the other person's shoulder or use her hand to cover their eyes. The latter was actually not completely unresponsive, but they would occasionally raise their head in confusion, or slightly tilt their head to avoid the other person's harassment, other than that, they didn't do anything else — — as simple as a simple stress reflex, it shouldn't be called a conscious reaction.
And another boy with a crew cut, a height of about 1.8 meters, wearing a hooded sweatshirt with a face full of impatience, sat on the table in the corner of the classroom, rudely blocking the vision of the unlucky boy behind him. This oversized boy with thick signs of delinquency on his face occasionally looked at his companion's actions, but most of the time he was aimlessly scanning the lifeless classroom.
Then, he saw someone outside the window peeping into the classroom with a beautiful loli sitting on his shoulder.
"Hu!" The boy who looked like a delinquent nimbly jumped down from the table. This sudden action startled the baby-faced girl beside him. Then, he patted the girl's shoulder and gestured in our direction with his mouth.
I held onto Liliana who was sitting on my shoulder with one hand, and used my other hand to greet the other person. The corner of my mouth curled up, and the light of Crest shining on the two shocked students.
The boy looked at us with incomparable astonishment for a long time. Although the boy tried his best to appear calm, the ecstasy and excitement in his eyes couldn't be hidden from my burning eyes. The girl next to him suddenly cheered, and then without hesitation, she ran over here. Then, before she hit the glass, she was pulled from behind by her companion and dragged out of the classroom through the back door.
En, that's an idiot. Appraisal complete.
Liliana and I patiently waited outside the school building. Sure enough, after less than a minute, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded from the stairs not far away. The two students from before quickly ran out, and then stopped in front of us while panting.
"Yo!" I greeted with a sunny smile.
"Hi!" Lina calmly sat on my shoulder as she greeted me with the same radiant smile. I say, isn't it about time for you to come down? Although the soft-bodied loli feels good, it seems like I am the boss and you are the employee, right?
"He … hello! We are … we are … "The baby-faced short-haired girl panted with great difficulty, and then said with a nervous stutter," We are members of the Awakeners, my name is Ling Yin … Excuse me … Excuse me … "
My name is Hu Wen. We're both members of the Awakener Organization. I know you must be confused and eager to know what's going on, but before that, you have to answer three questions of mine … Tsk, you can tell the difference just by looking at them. Why did the captain have to come up with these three stupid questions … "" You're really useless, "the short-haired girl stuttered before she was interrupted by the tall boy next to her." This guy is Lingyin, and my name is Hu Wen. We're both members of the Awakener Organization. I know you must be confused and eager to know what's going on, but before that, you have to answer three questions of mine … Tsk, you can tell the difference with your eyes. Why did the captain have to design these three stupid questions … "
The boy named Hu Wen said unhappily, but it was obvious that he was trying to hide the excitement in his heart. He was obviously younger than me by a few years, but he pretended to be mature, and even had the temperament of a "guide", so I didn't interrupt his rambling.
"Listen, the first question: What are you doing? This question is very important, you must answer truthfully! " At this point, Hu Wen's expression also became serious. It was obvious that although he said he didn't care, he was still serious about the so-called "three questions".
Liliana and I looked at each other, and said in unison: "We are just bystanders!"
The future of the Empire was dim at this moment.
But this nonsense answer made Hu Wen and Ling Yin show satisfaction, and even a look of joy. Then, Hu Wen threw out the second question: "Then do you know the meaning of 'tomorrow'?"
"What kind of weird question is that?" I was puzzled, and shook my shoulders. "Liliana, you tell me."
A certain fake loli was shaken by me twice, and almost slipped off. She immediately pinched my shoulder, and then said in a low voice: "Probably because there is no tomorrow in this world …"
"Okay, we know the meaning of tomorrow, but it seems like there is no tomorrow here." Liliana replied in a low voice, but this not very loud answer almost made Hu Wen and Ling Yin jump in joy.
"Also, also, the third question: Do you … know what happened? This question is not used to determine your identity, but it is very important … "
"I don't know." Liliana said directly, and then lightly jumped off my shoulder. "Lolicon, you took a lot of advantage of me just now …" This last sentence was said to me.
Take advantage of your sister! Who was the one that was shameless enough to sit on my shoulder? If I didn't hold your waist, who would be responsible if you fell off while you were moving around?
Even though the third answer caused Hu Wen and Ling Yin's expressions to visibly darken, our appearance seemed to be enough to make them overjoyed. At this moment, I already had quite a few vague guesses in my mind, but my intuition told me to stay calm and observe the situation before making a decision.
At this moment, the big sister also noticed the situation over here. She pulled along Shallow Shallow who was wandering around and Lin Xue who was preparing to burn the flower bed (Is this really a necessary research project?) She walked over: "Ah Jun, who are they?"
"Ah, Hu Wen! And … "
"I know, I know." Hu Wen tried his best to maintain his calm appearance, but his face couldn't help but show an excited expression. He subconsciously waved his hands, as if to calm down the immature juniors beside him, but he couldn't help but take two steps forward. "You … You all woke up, right? That's great, I didn't expect my luck to be so good today … Now the captain definitely doesn't have to frown, come with me … En, I'll explain the general situation on the way … Never mind, I'll let the captain tell you, she likes this the most. Hehe, how long has it been since a new person came … "
This was a guy who usually looked calm, but once he got excited, he would be especially talkative. This was the first impression that I had of the boy named Hu Wen.
The big sister shot an inquiring look at me. I waved my hand slightly, signaling for her and the other two girls to calm down. Then, I told them through our mental connection about the encounter with the two students. Their appearance was obviously the most impossible thing in this world fragment, but we were unable to come up with any reasonable conjectures. Even Bubble and Tawil expressed that they were unable to deduce the reason for the abnormality of the world fragment after receiving the information we sent back. However, Sandora, who was acting as temporary logistics at the rear, suggested to me that we should quietly enter their little circle and see what these 'living spirits' were up to.
Hu Wen and Bell Yin led the way in front of us, leading us to a large complex that seemed to have been around for a long time. Then, we wandered around this complex teaching building for seven to eight turns, dragging us step by step into the abyss of getting lost … Speaking of which, would a normal teaching building have such a strange structure? Don't pretend that you didn't see the staircase that turned into a right angle in mid-air and the corridor that gradually sloped upwards from the ceiling all the way to the second floor, you bastard!
"Although this building can protect us, there are always such changes happening, hehe …" Hu Wen led the way in front while helping us dispel our doubts. "You must be curious, right? Those who have just woken up are all like that. Don't worry, you will soon get used to it. We will tell you how to find the right path here. Furthermore, even if you wander around aimlessly, you won't get lost. Yup, also, don't open the doors here recklessly. We have already pasted notes on many of the dangerous doors. However, there are still some places that we have yet to explore. Even the classrooms that are marked as safe will suddenly change … "
"This building is filled with information fragments that are intensely distorted and fighting against each other." Bubble's voice echoed in my head at the same time. Through the real-time data link, she had been helping us analyze the messy information. "Perhaps, the fighting between these pieces of information allowed a small portion of the 'spirits' to retain their free will after the world stiffens. However, I still need more information. Father of the child, be brave and kick open the doors with the notes on them!"
Brave your sister!
I hung up the mental link with a headache. Everything about Bubble was good, but the violent factor hidden in her bones was troublesome.
According to Hu Wen, the structure of the building was unusually complicated due to the 'mutation'. There were graffiti sprayed everywhere in the building. The walls and floor of the corridors were scrawled with words such as' safe ',' dangerous', 'mutation', and so on. There were also many traces of alteration in many places. There were also messy pieces of paper pasted on the doors of many classrooms. On the paper, there was a carelessly written description of the situation in these rooms. However, in my opinion, they were all vague descriptions. Through Hu Wen's words, we were able to confirm whose masterpiece the sign covered in paint was. Naturally, it was the students who called themselves the Awakeners.
Lin Xue kept looking around curiously along the way. This brat, who always brought me endless trouble, was trying to use the excuse of 'research' to wreak havoc in the school grounds (including splashing gasoline on the flower beds). Now, I was really worried that she would suddenly kick open the doors with the small pieces of paper pasted on them. Although the latter were tightly locked, the strange feeling of danger that came from behind the classroom doors made me raise my vigilance.
Of course, what made me even more vigilant were the two unstable factors, Shallow Shallow and Lin Xue …
The former was a simple-minded poor person who was happy to do anything. On the other hand, the latter was a vile person who clearly knew everything but still went around causing trouble. Look, when I wasn't paying attention, she slipped around the corner of the corridor …
"Hey, can't you be a little quieter? Do you believe that I won't kick you out of the group? "
I took a step back without batting an eyelid. I grabbed Lin Xue's arm and pulled her to my side. I whispered a threat into her ear.
"Hmph, since I'm already in the dungeon, I'll just solo it!" Lin Xue's reply was swift and fierce as usual. However, when I blew on her, half of her neck instantly turned red.
"Enough, you pervert." In the end, under my unrelenting gaze, Lin Xue chose to surrender. Her face had an inexplicable slight blush as she turned her head angrily. "Do you really think that I'm as stupid as your Shallow Shallow? Let me tell you, behind those doors are many incredible things …"
"I know." I interrupted Lin Xue and pulled her to catch up with the group. "But for now, let's just wait and see. There are too many mysteries and illogical places in this world. I have a feeling that if we can solve the mysteries here, we will have a huge harvest."
"Congratulations, you guessed correctly." Lin Xue shrugged and walked forward. "The future I see is the same. En, but don't think that I'll tell you everything, it will destroy this world."
Most likely, you just want to watch us run around and waste our energy, you despicable fellow!
"We're … here, it's here!"
While I was arguing with Lin Xue, Ling Yin's timid and slightly stuttering voice suddenly called my attention. When I raised my head, it turned out that we were already standing in front of a large activity room.
The activity room's double doors were unlocked. A rough circle drawn with blue paint covered half of its area. Because of the gap in the door, it looked like a cannon barrel that was split in two. Ling Yin and Hu Wen told us to wait at the door, then lightly pushed the door open and walked in.
A moment later, the two of them pulled open the door to the activity room from the inside. A girl with a golden ponytail, wearing a work uniform that was splashed with paint, and a stubborn gaze sat on a chair facing the door. The moment the door opened, our figures and the girl's figures appeared in each other's eyes at the same time.
