Chapter 445 - 445: Darkness!
Li Hong Wei had once again stood beside to the window, slowly raising his hand and opened it.
All the students stayed far behind and held their breath, staring unblinkingly at Li Hong Wei.
“Pisss~!”
The moment Li Hong Wei touched the darkness outside, he reflexively pulled it back.
“Huff, huff, huff—!” He was holding his hand and continuously blowing on it.
The classmates behind him were startled by this and quickly inquired about the situation.
“What’s going on, does the darkness feel hot to the touch?”
“Li Hong Wei, are you okay?!”
After blowing for a few seconds and seeing that his finger was fine, Li Hong Wei finally explained to his classmates:
“It’s not hot. I was just being scared by the sound and blew on it in advance…”
There was a moment of speechlessness among the crowd.
However, Li Hong Wei was the bravest of them all, and no one blamed him for his actions.
Without needing any prompting, Li Hong Wei and few fellows approached the window again.
This time, they touched it back and forth.
While touching the darkness with one hand, they flipped over to check if there was anything wrong with theirs palm.
“It’s fine…”
“It really feels like a wall here…”
Li Hong Wei was seen standing on a stool, stretching his hand from the bottom to the top of the darkness to find a gap.
Several of classmates also approached Li Hong Wei’s location and began to observe the darkness outside the window closely.
After a while, a few brave souls touched the darkness outside the window and found that nothing happened.
Soon, everyone gradually disperse. People sat in groups of two or three, mainly near the side of the corridor.
Near the window, only about ten students were gathered together and discussing could be happening now.
“All students return to your respective classrooms…”
“All teachers, come to me for a moment…”
At this moment, the voice of the of Director Li rang out.
The students who were previously in the corridor also began to return, sharing the news they heard while crowded in the corridor with the other students in the classroom.
Soon, our teacher dressed in cheongsam entered the classroom. She was the closest to the door that time and had run the fastest initially. At this moment, her clothes were intact, and it was unclear if she had fixed herself up outside or had run to a less crowded office earlier.
When the teacher entered, the classroom naturally quieted down. Li Hong Wei and others near the window habitually found nearby seats to settle down.
The teacher’s demeanor was not much better than the students, her face also was bearing worry and fear.
“Students, Director Li said that our building is enveloped in darkness…”
“The smartest student from each class should come out to find a way out together…”
Li Hong Wei immediately raised his hand, “I’ll go!”
The teacher nodded in agreement and scanning the crowd again.
Most students dared not meet her gaze, silently lowering their heads, pretending to be busy.
The task of finding a way out would surely involve constant experiments, and no one knew what dangers it might hold.
“I’ll go too!”
A boy who had been discussing with Li Hong Wei earlier stood up as well.
It was a student named Zhang Hao, who was usually active in joining all kinds of activates.
With two volunteers ready, the rest of the class gradually relieve from the pressure.
Zhang Hao stood proudly, as if what he was doing was something extraordinary.
Especially the smile he put on was barely concealable.
“Then, please have these two students go to the fourth floor. The director and others are waiting for you there…”
As a substitute teacher, she had little private interaction with the students, so she didn’t know many of their names.
Zhao Yu realized that their classroom was on the second floor, Arts 13 class.
The school was a liberal arts institution, with only arts students. During the first year, they were in Arts classes, learning various artistic courses.
Only in the second year would they be divided into classes, choosing a major based on their first-year experiences.
Zhao Yu wasn’t sure about the arrangement of the classrooms, only knowing that the six-story teaching building housed first years on the first and second floors, second years on the third and fourth, and third years on the fifth and sixth.
His impression of the fourth floor was limited to a memory of a second-year senior in the Dance Department, Dance Class 7.
Rumored to be the department’s beauty, she was known for her lithe and versatile dancing. Not only did she have a great figure, but she was also stunningly beautiful, the dream girl of many male students.
However, the original host of these memories had only heard of her and hadn’t paid much attention.
To the original host, the virtual sisters online were more appealing, making everything in reality seem bland.
Of course, another reason was that the original host had just entered university and had confessed to a childhood friend resulted in rejection.
He then realized that pursuing girls in reality was too difficult and time-consuming since childhood, preferring to devote his energy to the virtual world.
As Li Hong Wei and Zhang Hao left, the classroom became noisy again.
With no danger, the students grew bolder.
Many more students dare to approach the darkness and fell the air wall.
Zhao Yu observed for a while, ensuring that these students were all fine. Zhao Yu stayed about a meter away to scan the dark wall.
Meanwhile, the super brain provided its scanning results.
