Extra Chapter Thirteen Study Room (1)
At the same time, several people who were taken to the cram school by their head teacher also saw the small words on the paper clearly.
1. Do not answer any of the teacher's questions.
【2. If the teacher delays the class, please ignore it and do not stay in the classroom after class.】
【3. Skipping classes is not allowed. Please keep quiet in the classroom.】
4. The library is completely safe. You can only stay there for a maximum of two hours at a time. You must remain quiet in the library, or you will be punished by the administrator.
5. The dormitory is absolutely safe, but only between 8pm and 8am the next day.
6. The study room is safe and can only be used for a maximum of one hour. Students can communicate with each other, but the students in the study room may not be normal.
Here are six more rules that are completely different from what you see in the classroom.
This time the rules actually mark which places are safe.
Study room, dormitory, library...
They haven't explored these places yet.
Li Mu gritted his teeth and whispered:
"In that case, let's go to these safe places and have a look."
The other two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Feng Tianning and others were hiding in the dark and watching them.
"You go protect the other agents, I'll take care of these three." Feng Tianning said coldly.
From the moment she came in, she separated the agents of Team 11 to protect the newcomers, and only Xuan Gou Chen and Fu Ruxuan were by her side.
They said with some disapproval:
"Tianning, you're just getting better, we have to stay with you."
"Yes, if you encounter something that cannot be solved, we can still help."
Feng Tianning looked at them helplessly and said seriously:
"The lives of the newcomers are very important. We can't let anything happen to them here."
"If I can't handle the problems we encounter, then we're going to die here together."
Fu Ruxuan and Xuan Gou Chen opened their mouths but couldn't think of any rebuttal. In the end, they nodded helplessly and walked towards the position of the other newcomers, looking back every few steps.
…
In the cram school classroom.
After Li Mu and the other two sat down obediently, the head teacher disappeared.
They waited for a long time, but the "tutor" never showed up.
Zhao Sha said tentatively:
"Since the teacher isn't here, can we leave now?"
Gao Meng nodded in agreement and said:
"I think you can leave too. After all, it was the teacher who broke the rules first."
Zhao Sha then added:
"Yeah, yeah, why don't we go to the study room and get some information? The rules say we can talk to our classmates in the study room. Maybe we can find out how to leave here."
Li Mu thought for a moment and nodded.
After all, their mission is to survive seven days and, if possible, escape from this strange school.
They took a deep breath and rushed out of the cram school.
The three of them carefully walked through the maze-like corridors relying on their vague memories and sense of direction when they came in.
The occasional signs on the corridor walls became extremely strange. They did not dare to stay, let alone enter any area that was not clearly marked as "safe" by the rules.
Finally, after turning a corner, they saw a double wooden door with a simple sign hanging on it:
【Study room】.
The glass window on the door lets in relatively bright and normal light from inside, and you can even see some people studying at their desks.
This normal scene seems so out of place at this moment, and it makes people more alert.
Li Mu took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
The scent of old book pages and wooden furniture wafted over me, slightly diluting the pervasive sweet stench of decay in the air.
The study room is very large, with dozens of long tables. There are about a dozen students sitting scattered inside, all with their heads down reading or writing. It is so quiet that the only sound you can hear is the rustling of pens scratching across paper and the occasional sound of turning pages.
Their school uniforms are the normal blue and white.
Expressions...mostly a kind of focused numbness, but at least there's no creepy uniform smile.
The entry of the three people did not cause much commotion.
Only a few students near the door raised their heads, glanced at them indifferently, then lowered their heads again and continued with their own work.
This almost normal atmosphere made the three highly nervous people feel a little relieved, but their vigilance in their hearts did not decrease at all.
They found a seat against the wall with fewer people around, sat down, pretended to take out books and stationery from their bags, but their eyes were looking around quickly.
Soon, they noticed a plastic-sealed card stuck on the upper right corner of each table, which read:
【Study Room Rules】
1. Please keep quiet and avoid making noise. Please use notes when communicating.
2. Each session should not exceed one hour. The timer is located at the door.
3. Discussions about study problems are allowed, but spreading unverified rumors is prohibited.
4. If your deskmate starts writing the same word over and over again, change seats immediately.
5. Trust your classmates, but don't take their word for it.
6. If you hear crying, ignore it. It's not coming from the study room.
7. The administrator will patrol every half hour. If he stops by your side for more than ten seconds, please leave the study room immediately.
New rules. More specific, and more bizarre.
Li Mu glanced at the door and saw an old-fashioned mechanical timer hanging there. The red pointer showed that someone had been in the room for more than twenty minutes.
He silently noted the time.
He tore off a piece of paper and wrote:
How can I leave school safely?
Then he gently pushed it to a boy next to him who looked more friendly and was wearing glasses.
The boy glanced at the note, then looked at Li Mu, and a very slight fluctuation flashed across his numb face.
He picked up the pen, wrote a few words quickly, and pushed it back:
I don't know. No one has ever left.
Disappointment instantly gripped Li Mu.
He was unwilling to give up and wrote:
How do we survive? Are there any rules we must follow?
The boy wrote faster this time:
Obey all the stated rules.
[However, some of these rules are false or incomplete. Use your own judgment.]
[After 8pm, you must return to the dormitory. It is the only absolutely safe place.]
[The library is also good, but you can't stay there for more than two hours at a time, and it must be absolutely quiet.]
This information partially matches the rules we saw previously.
Li Mu continued writing: [Fake rules? How to judge?]
The boy paused for a moment, as if hesitating, and finally wrote:
【“It” doesn’t like things that are logically perfect. 】
A completely self-consistent, non-contradictory rule could be a trap. Contradictory rules usually have one path to success and one to failure. But you have to choose.
