Chapter 260, Chapter 259: Linxi Bridge
Yan Shi just wants to escape this reading room right now.
After realizing that everything in "The Curse of the Laws" was a real story, Youyou's expression changed drastically, eventually settling on a starry-eyed state.
Although she didn't speak, Yan Shi could completely guess what You was thinking.
Yan Shi tried his best to appear calm and said indifferently, "I'll go to the school to check on the situation first."
“Yes, Director Yan,” the team leader replied solemnly. “Me, with you? I’ve already memorized the layout of the school.”
"No need." Yan Shi looked up, his tone calm. "You stay here and protect the people here."
She paused, then added, "Don't get into conflicts with the mixed-race students at school."
"Yes." The captain straightened up and immediately accepted the order.
Tonghai High School has remained largely unchanged over the past century, with almost no difference in its architectural structure.
Perhaps it's because there are a lot of mixed-race students in the school, but the spirits on campus are very active, unlike the usual sparse spirits in the surface world.
Shui Ling hooked her fingertips around Yan Shi's.
After quickly walking out of the library, Yan Shi said softly, "Tell me, the core of this domain."
The fog appeared suddenly; it wasn't miasma.
Since anomalies exist, there must be an anomaly center.
Yan Shi closed his eyes.
Although the area was shrouded in mist, it did not affect her ability to use it.
In the darkness, a voice, whose gender was indiscernible, seemed to whisper in her ear, "Principal's Office."
The principal's office is naturally located in the Tonghai High School's office building, which is already close to the center of the area.
The library is right next to the small gate, which is quite remote.
As you walk closer to the office building, you see more and more students on the road, walking by in twos and threes.
As the team leader reported, it was clear to some extent that the students were "inhuman".
Some had animal ears on their heads, some had unusual body shapes, and some were even flying at low altitudes.
They laughed and joked around, just like any other human student.
Yan Shi walked among them expressionlessly, and hushed whispers could be heard.
"Huh? Who's this? They look so good in their uniform."
"The new teacher?"
Suddenly, a voice drifted to Yan Shi's ear: "Still haven't found Linxi Bridge? It's really urgent, the debate starts in half an hour."
"If she doesn't want to be found, even if we turn the whole school upside down today, it won't make a difference," another voice muttered.
"Oh dear, I know Linxiqiao will come when the debate starts, but she hasn't shown us her script at all! She's the first speaker."
"You don't trust Linxiqiao to do things? Don't worry, she'll lead us to victory."
Yan Shi raised an eyebrow.
who?
She instinctively turned her head to look in the direction of the sound, but was caught off guard when someone next to her patted her on the shoulder.
"How come I've never seen you at school?" the person next to me asked.
Yan Shi turned his head to look.
The newcomer had black hair and black eyes, and his eyebrows and eyes were four or five parts similar to Yan Shi's.
She was standing on tiptoe, leaning on Yan Shi's shoulder, curiously examining his features.
"Hello," she said, her eyes crinkling as she saw Yan Shi looking at her. "I'm Linxiqiao. Who are you?"
Yan Shi did not answer, but only said, "Someone is looking for you."
“I know.” Linxiqiao shrugged and smiled nonchalantly. “Today’s debate topic is ‘Should people of mixed race be discriminated against by their parents’ race?’ My views differ from theirs, so of course I have to avoid them.”
“You still haven’t answered me,” she tilted her head and continued to press, “Who are you?”
This is a difficult question to answer.
Yan Shi couldn't very well say that she was her junior, could she?
Yan Shi felt unable to speak to his younger elder.
She had never actually lived near the Linxi Bridge; she only knew of its existence from her grandmother's work notes and her mother's scattered remarks.
Under the gaze of those bright eyes, Yan Shi remained silent for a moment: "The new teacher."
"Teacher?" Linxiqiao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.
"I'm so sorry, teacher." She immediately pulled away from Yan Shi's shoulder, which she had been clinging to. "I'm sorry for offending you."
Yan Shi: "It's nothing." After putting some distance between them at Linxi Bridge, Yan Shi continued to ask: "In the debate, did you and your teammates have different viewpoints?"
Why doesn't Linxi Bridge join the other side?!
“It’s just different,” Linxiqiao said lazily. “My views are different from those seven people. So I’m going to try to convince everyone during the competition.”
Yan Shi: ?
She believed that arguments in a debate were either yes or no.
In particular, the debate topic that Linxiqiao told her was quite sharp and absolute.
"What's your opinion?" Yan Shi asked curiously.
"It's a secret." Linxiqiao blinked. "Teacher, there's still half an hour left, do you want to come and watch?"
She certainly didn't believe Yan Shi's claim of being a "new teacher".
Recently, many strangers have appeared on campus, and the principal has issued a notice reminding everyone to be careful.
However, the statement was vague and did not explicitly say that these strangers were dangerous.
The school did nothing and simply allowed strangers to gather in the library.
My curiosity about Linxi Bridge reached its peak.
Among this group of strangers, Yan Shi was, in Linxiqiao's opinion, the most mysterious and unfathomable.
Yan Shi's eyes are cold, unable to let in any light.
Linxi Bridge is rushing to a debate competition and can't stay with Yanshi all the time.
But if Linxi Bridge missed the chance to discover Yan Shi's identity, she felt she would regret it for a long time.
"Watch me dominate the entire field!" she said with great confidence.
Yan Shi looked at her and suddenly smiled: "I really am a new teacher who just arrived today, so I need to go to the principal's office to report now."
She shrugged helplessly: "Perhaps you could wait until I and the principal have finished reporting for duty before coming?"
“Ah,” Linxiqiao sighed in frustration, “Alright, alright.”
"Teacher, you should go ahead and get busy." She pointed in a direction to Yan Shi, "Go to the right for the principal's office."
Yan Shi: "How come I remember the principal's office being on the left front of the map that was sent to me?"
Linxi Bridge: ...
"So you really are a teacher." She immediately lost interest and took a step back. "Teacher, hurry up. You have an appointment with Christie, it won't be good to be late."
"Christie holds grudges."
