Chapter 114: Unknown Danger
Since Lin Yilan returned to teach at Ocean University, she's noticed a significant change in the school, not least the students' mental states. Some are overly excited, while others are listless all day long.
There are traps almost everywhere, in addition to the two arrows found two days ago, there are even mousetraps next to the grass and even traps dug on the flat ground.
She was very sensitive to these things, so she could see through almost all the mechanisms. She even opened a trap specifically to see carefully whether there was something inside to trick people or something to kill them.
The result surprised her greatly. Each pit was filled with fine spikes. If one fell into it carelessly, one would definitely become a human sieve.
Now, she was certain that this was definitely not a prank by some naughty student, but most likely a conspiracy. As for the target of this conspiracy, she was not sure yet.
Today, Huo Juncheng came to Ocean University to look for Lin Yilan as usual. Fearing a repeat of what happened last time, Lin Yilan waited at the school gate early. However, she didn't rush to leave with Huo Juncheng. Instead, she patted Huo Juncheng on the shoulder, wanting him to go with her to the principal to discuss the matter.
When Huo Juncheng heard what Lin Yilan said about the mousetraps and deadly traps, he felt that this matter was definitely very serious, so he prepared to go to the principal's office with Lin Yilan without saying a word.
"Although we cannot rule out the possibility that the two arrows from the past two days were just accidents, I still feel that all this is directed at you." Lin Yilan glanced at Huo Juncheng beside her and said with some concern.
She could go to the principal by herself, but the reason she dragged Huo Juncheng along was to test whether these people all wanted to hurt Huo Juncheng.
"I don't think I've ever offended any of you Haida students. If you're saying this is all directed at me, I don't think that's going to make sense."
This was exactly what Lin Yilan was struggling with. It was certain that Huo Juncheng had an enemy. After all, not long after meeting him, she had been kidnapped because of him. However, the possibility of Huo Juncheng having an enemy at Haida was almost zero.
"I'm not sure either. Anyway... everything is just speculation. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. If they are really coming for you, then we must deal with it as soon as possible."
Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng walked on the campus. They deliberately calculated the time when Huo Juncheng would come to pick them up every day and walked on the road that Huo Juncheng always took.
Lin Yilan also hoped that she was wrong, but the results proved that these things, this dark conspiracy, were indeed aimed at Huo Juncheng.
Looking at the arrows flying towards her, Lin Yilan smiled brightly: "Two arrows are not enough, so we're going to use a group of arrows this time? Okay, I haven't exercised for a long time anyway, so I'll play with you guys."
Lin Yilan looked at the dense array of arrows flying towards her, and took them one by one without any challenge at all. However, although these were child's play for her, for Huo Juncheng, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be seriously injured.
Add to that the traps along the road that could easily lead to falling into them, and the rat traps dotted throughout the grass nearby. Wow, they've really made thorough preparations.
"Let's go, Huo Juncheng, we really need to have a good talk with the principal." Lin Yilan kicked the last arrow with her right foot, signaling Huo Juncheng to follow. Huo Juncheng had already noticed the traps set up around them, and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
However, when he heard Lin Yilan calling him, he still followed Lin Yilan's steps: "I didn't expect that the students of you Ocean University would play such a big game? Could it be that someone else, not your students of Ocean University, did all this?" After all, such cruel means did not seem like something that a student could do.
"I also hope that this wasn't done by those students, but Haida University has daily patrols, so there's no way anyone else would have had the chance to get in. Let's wait until we see the principal before we discuss everything."
Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan, who looked a little thin but had an extremely strong figure. He walked up quickly and took her hand. "Okay, let's go ask the principal what's going on."
However, what they didn't know was that the principal had actually been bribed by that group of students. Although being the principal of Ocean University made him someone that most people couldn't afford to offend, Ocean University was never short of wealthy children.
"Principal, we want to talk to you about something." The principal was slightly startled when he saw Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng walking in. He immediately smiled, stood up and began to entertain them.
"It's Mr. Huo and Teacher Lin. Is there something wrong? Is it because the students are disobedient that makes Teacher Lin unhappy?" When the principal saw Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan coming together, he couldn't help but start to guess their intentions.
The principal wanted to say that if this was really the case, he would definitely give Lin Yilan justice. But before he could open his mouth, he saw Lin Yilan take out a gun from behind him, waved it in front of the principal, and then casually placed it on the table in front of the principal.
"If I had a disagreement with a student, I wouldn't have come to you, the principal. After all, no one in the entire school can withstand a few punches from me."
Lin Yilan said, and glanced at Huo Juncheng beside her, "We came to see the principal today mainly because we encountered some strange things in the past two days."
Huo Juncheng took over Lin Yilan's words and continued, "I hope that Principal can investigate this matter carefully. After all, these arrows that appeared inexplicably seem to be directed at me."
"Mr. Huo, you're being too kind. Actually..." The principal wiped the sweat from his forehead and swallowed hard, "Actually, this is just another way the school came up with to train students. Because it's still in its implementation phase, we didn't have time to inform Teacher Lin."
Lin Yilan was a little surprised at the principal's explanation, but then the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. "So, you're saying we're overthinking it all, and the reason these arrows appeared in the school is... to train the students?"
"That's the situation, Teacher Lin. We didn't have time to notify them, which is why President Huo and Teacher Lin were nearly hurt. This is the school's fault. I apologize in advance."
Lin Yilan laughed awkwardly when she heard the principal say this. "Principal, I understand your unexpected training method, but the sharpness of these arrows and the thorns in those traps are no joke. Do you know what the consequences would be if the students were hit by an arrow?"
The principal's forehead was covered in sweat. He hadn't expected those students to be so cruel. He had thought it was just a prank a little more extreme than usual, but he hadn't expected it to be a direct threat to his life!
But what else could he do? He couldn't afford to offend those students, nor could he afford to offend Mr. Huo and Lin Yilan. "It was my negligence. I promise that this won't happen again next time."
