Deng Ya immediately responded, "Is it the notices at the entrance of the restaurant and the entrance of the maze? I should have followed them. Wang Lu and Qin Xue never violated them when they were together, but I don't know what they did after we separated."
"If it hasn't been violated before, there shouldn't be any big problems." Ming Qiao asked, "Besides the three of you, is there anyone else in this restaurant?"
“No more.”
"Okay, you guys go out first, I'll go to the third floor to find Qin Xue."
Wang Dada nervously pulled Mingqiao to his side: "Teacher Ming, aren't you coming with us?"
"To get you out safely, we can only follow what this note says. One person stays in the maze, and the other stays in the small dark room on the third floor." Ming Qiao explained: "This method is given by the rules. I don't know if the rules will contradict themselves, but Wang Lu has gone out. So no matter what, this method is the safest."
Zhang Wanqiao looked worried: "Won't it mean that two people will always be unable to leave?"
"Logically, yes." Ming Qiao looked at her, "But I don't believe that the transparent wall appeared and disappeared out of thin air. Someone must be silently controlling everything. The restaurant has employees and food-serving robots. There must be a leader behind them to help guide the restaurant's work. If we find that leader, all this weirdness and weirdness can disappear."
"I'll stay with you." Shi Xin said, "Is that what you're planning to do as well?"
Ming Qiao looked at the young man in front of him and felt relieved: "Well, I still have to trouble you this time."
Wang Dada grabbed Mingqiao's sleeve and actively expressed himself: "Teacher, I can do it too."
Mingqiao held Wang's small fist and said, "Although you are very capable, I have more important things to entrust to you. Teacher Zhang and Deng Ya are both girls, and as a boy, you have to protect them and get out safely."
Wang Dada understood and nodded with shining eyes: "Okay, I will definitely protect Teacher Zhang and Deng Ya."
After Mingqiao dealt with this, Deng Ya came over to him and asked him to find Qin Xue.
The hand with only bones left on the third floor was still vivid in Mingqiao's mind. Although he was not sure that it was Qin Xue, Mingqiao felt that it was not Qin Xue's. Even if Qin Xue really reached the worst outcome, he should not have only one hand left. There must be something else, but he just didn't find it. Mingqiao felt a little heavy. It was the first time he faced the worry of the passing of life, and that person was his student.
As a teacher, if he cannot protect his students, then no matter how well he teaches, he is derelict in his duty.
"I'll try my best." Mingqiao didn't dare to promise Deng Ya. The best way was to go to the third floor to look for it.
After going through so much, they were already exhausted both physically and mentally.
I don’t know when the exit of the maze was closed, so if I want to go in again I have to wait until tomorrow noon.
The orange-red sunset outside poured in through the window, shining warmly on the few people. They calmed down, closed their eyes and prepared for the final battle in the restaurant.
The summer evening sun was rarely not annoying. Mingqiao stretched his joints and let out a long breath.
He first thought of letting Zhang Wanqiao stay. After all, Shi Xin was a guest of the school, and it was not appropriate to let him stay and take risks. But then he thought of the two students, they were only teenagers, and if an adult was afraid, they would definitely be afraid. If Shi Xin accompanied them out, the two children would definitely not feel as safe following a stranger as they would with their teacher.
This is the advantage of female teachers. They are often better able to play the role of "mother" and are top experts in calming people's hearts.
Just like Zhang Wanqiao was kneeling in the maze and wanted to hold Deng Ya in her arms, and after coming out, she could tell at a glance that Deng Ya was dehydrated and thirsty.
So Zhang Wanqiao accompanied them out, and Shi Xin stayed to help him. This was the best way to allocate the resources.
"Teacher Ming." Shi Xin called him, and when Ming Qiao turned his head, a bottle of iced mineral water was right against his cheek.
Ming Qiao was shocked by the cold and shrank his shoulders: "Where did you get the ice water?"
"I got it from the kitchen on the first floor." Shi Xin stood beside him and opened a bottle to drink. "Are you and Teacher Zhang a couple?"
"No." Ming Qiao denied, "Why do you ask?"
Shi Xin curled his lips and explained it to him in detail: "First of all, you are all single."
"coincide."
"You are a man and a woman, and both of you are teachers."
Ming Qiao was somewhat speechless: "According to your logic, all male and female teachers in the world are a couple."
"She is three years older than you. A woman three years older than you is a treasure."
"A woman who is 30 years old can still be a queen." Ming Qiao said, "I can't marry a 50- or 60-year-old aunt."
Shi Xin thought for a moment and said, "You two seem to have a very good relationship."
"I have a good relationship with you." Ming Qiao spoke faster for a second, realized something was wrong, and immediately changed the subject: "You have an occupational disease, don't make blind guesses."
"Okay." Shi Xin shrugged. "Your clothes are hung on the first floor. I just checked and they seem to be dry."
"Is it dry already? If it's dry, why don't you help me collect it?" Mingqiao was about to go downstairs: "So fast, wash it in the afternoon and dry it in the afternoon."
"Yeah." Shi Xin put his arm on the handrail of the stairs and looked at Ming Qiao who was walking downstairs: "Teacher Ming, if you can cook, please cook something."
"Okay." Mingqiao replied.
As soon as he turned the corner of the stairs, he saw robots all over the floor. None of their metal heads were properly attached to their necks. They were scattered everywhere. It was estimated that all the robots in the restaurant were here.
Mingqiao sighed at Shi Xin's fighting ability and went to the kitchen to change his clothes. When he put on dry and close-fitting clothes, the faint sadness seemed to have been replaced.
He found a dozen chicken legs and potatoes from the freezer, made a simple braised chicken, and cooked some rice porridge.
After he finished, he called out to Shi Xin from across the floor.
A group of people followed behind Shi Xin, like a hen leading her chicks. They ran to the window in two steps, and their mouths watered at the smell.
Mingqiao looked at their greedy faces, smiled, and waved his hand: "Come on, line up for food, and be orderly."
Shi Xin was the first to hold the bowl: "Don't let your hands shake."
"I promise." Mingqiao picked up a large spoon and scooped several large pieces of meat for Shi Xin.
Wang Dada was standing at the back. As soon as he saw Mingqiao, he said, "Teacher, the food you cooked is so delicious."
"Does it taste good before you put it in your mouth?"
"Yes." Wang Dada nodded.
Ming Qiao also scooped a full spoonful for him and picked out a few extra pieces of meat for him: "Eat well, so you can grow as tall as Ultraman."
The child's thoughts were exposed, and he lowered his head shyly: "Teacher, I am already in the first grade of junior high school, how can I still grow taller?"
"Sure." Ming Qiao said as he helped Deng Ya, who was standing in the back, get some food. "Teacher was 1.7 meters tall before she went to college. She started growing taller after entering college, and now she's 1.8 meters tall."
"Then I want to grow too." Wang Dada walked away with satisfaction holding the meal.
While serving food to Zhang Wanqiao, Deng Ya looked up and said, "Teacher, Wang Dada is obviously not a good student and he is making trouble in your class. Why are you still telling him this?"
"Has the news of his disruptive behavior spread to your class?" Ming Qiao couldn't help but laugh. "Poor academic performance is not the only criterion for judging a person. Besides, you are only in the first grade. If you make a conclusion about a person too early, you will forever confine him to a certain category. As teachers, we don't dislike a certain type of student."
"Yes." Zhang Wanqiao also said: "You always think that teachers only like students who are good at studying and hate students who are not good at studying, but every teacher has his or her own criteria for judging. The era of only judging by grades is over. People who are good at playing games can become world champions, and beautiful people can also be internet celebrities. Seize the opportunity, keep working hard, and success is not far away."
"It doesn't seem appropriate to discuss this now." Mingqiao smiled bitterly.
"Chatting is the spice of life." Zhang Wanqiao said, "If not these, what else can we talk about? Don't you think so, Deng Ya?"
"Yes." Deng Ya nodded in agreement: "Teacher Ming, you are wrong, Teacher Zhang is right. Especially at this time, we should talk about lighthearted things."
"Okay." Mingqiao also served himself a bowl of rice: "You are right."
Several people gathered around a table, eating and chatting lively.
Wang Dada said that some people in the class were star-chasers, and revealed which boys had secretly gone to the Internet cafe. Zhang Wanqiao was furious when she heard this. As the class teacher, she was kept in the dark and knew nothing. She would definitely teach them a lesson when she got out.
For example, Deng Ya said that her mother was divorced and lived with her in a rented house, but the two of them were happier than before.
For example, Shi Xin said that his classmates have all received admission letters for master's programs, but he is the only one who came out to work and seems a bit out of place.
Finally, Mingqiao is 26 years old and still has never been in a relationship.
Zhang Wanqiao was excited when she heard this: "I have a friend's sister who just graduated with a master's degree this year and was admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Do you want to meet her?"
"Is this a blind date for me?" Ming Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at Shi Xin subconsciously and said, "No, I just haven't met the right person yet."
"We have to hurry up." Zhang Wanqiao said, "We can't wait until we are supposed to get married to start looking for a partner or dating. It will be too late then."
"Don't worry." Mingqiao said, "We will meet slowly. It's fate."
"Fate is too fictitious." Zhang Wanqiao shook her head, "It's up to you."
Noticing that Shi Xin hadn't spoken for a long time, Ming Qiao thought he was annoyed and didn't want to say anything more.
After dinner, it was still early before bedtime, Mingqiao thought he couldn't waste any time, so he told them about history, from ancient times to the present, from domestic to foreign, from political history to economic history, leaving out nothing.
He was so engrossed in his speech that the others were falling asleep. In the end, only Shi Xin was awake.
Mingqiao was thirsty while talking, so he stopped to drink some water, only to find that the other three had fallen asleep.
"It's time for modern history." Shi Xin reminded him, "I'm particularly interested in this period of history."
"It's a time of national crisis." Mingqiao concluded lightly: "Let's discuss tomorrow's affairs."
"I'll stay on the second floor and walk the maze. You take the flashlight and go to the third floor."
Shi Xin nodded in agreement: "Okay."
"There may be a lot of people on the third floor. Don't resist. Just wait for them to tie you up and put you in a small dark room."
"Um."
"I dug a hole in the ceiling. You should be able to see it when you go in. It's also the passage you can use to escape." Ming Qiao said seriously, "I could only feel my way around in the dark that day. Bring a flashlight with you this time. Watch carefully. When the broadcast announces that they're leaving, I'll come out of the maze and go up to find you."
"Do you think the person behind this is on the third floor?"
"yes."
"Is it watching us?"
Mingqiao suddenly choked.
"If we're doing surveillance, we have to rely on monitoring," Shi Xin said, "We'll have to wait until we send Zhang Wanqiao and the others out and cut off the main power before we start those operations."
