I am always analyzing and thinking.
I have been struggling and resisting.
Under the confusion of not being able to distinguish between true and false, I tried to clear away the fog and looked around, and in that chaotic scene and environment, I tried to find the right way out of the predicament.
I am currently in a state of confusion and illusion that many people will never touch in their lifetime. I don’t know who I am. I can’t figure out where I am. The only thing I know is that I am me, and the only one who has an impression Then...
That figure.
The soft and slender figure under the poignant moonlight, the slowly raised arm, and the flying cherry blossoms look like a fairy.
I seem to know that beautiful figure.
No, not acquaintance, but very familiar, very familiar, so familiar that it is unforgettable, so familiar that even if the brain memory is completely deprived, you can still think of the other person, and you can still vaguely know him with some special feelings hidden deep in your heart. impression.
It's just that impressions are impressions, but who is she? Who on earth is it?
perhaps……
Only by thinking of her can I break free from the shackles and truly recognize myself.
She is like a key.
The ultimate key that can solve all my mysteries and even save me!
………
Compared with the first three people, Tian Dahu's situation is slightly better. At first glance, except for his pale face, he doesn't have any violent reaction. It's not because he has a firm mind or because he is indifferent to life and death, but because he learned from the news, or that Tian Dahu knew more than others. After all, through his previous exchanges with Chen Fei, he learned a lot of information that others did not know. For example, the Arabic numeral 36 that appeared inexplicably on his desk seemed to be what he had expected. Unfortunately, he had not expected it. After all, it was an expectation. When he saw it with his own eyes in reality, when the number representing death actually appeared in front of him, it was true that although Tian Dahu tried hard to restrain his inner fear and held on forcefully on the surface, those slightly trembling legs under the table But it betrayed him, and at the same time it also showed the extent of the fear in the pudgy boy's heart at this moment.
The only surprise is still Tian Xiaoya.
Just like the previous two times, at this moment, Tian Xiaoya looked at the Arabic numerals on his desk and stared at 33. His expression was as calm as ever. There was no trace of fear on his face. She glanced away and looked away. She had no expression on her face and just glanced at the numbers on the table, that's all.
Chen Wen had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions. After observing the reactions of others, Chen Wen first took a deep breath, then instinctively lowered his head, and instinctively looked at his desk and the table top.
Then, Chen Wen saw the numbers, and as expected, he saw Arabic numerals.
only……
But it's not the 38 as expected, but...
0.
It turned out to be a big Arabic numeral 0!
Upon seeing this, Chen Wen was shocked, his pupils suddenly tightened, and he was stunned on the spot.
Why?
Yes, Chen Wen was a little dizzy. Even if he was extremely smart, even if he was extremely intelligent, he was still confused after seeing the numbers displayed on his desk. He was stunned. It’s not his fault that he was confused. , after all, there are a total of 38 students in their class, and the previous numbers have always been consistent with the number of students. And then by analogy, corresponding numbers will appear on the student desks every day. This was the case for Tian Dahu and the others just now, the numbers range from 34 It was expected to reach 37, but...
Why was the number on the table not the expected 38 when it was my turn? 0 actually appeared?
Unexpected, completely unexpected.
Therefore, Chen Wen was a little confused. He was caught off guard and fell into a state of confusion in front of this sudden accident.
Fortunately, this confusion did not last long. After getting over the initial surprise and doubt, he raised his hand to touch his chin habitually, frowning slightly. Then he instinctively started thinking and his brain began to work rapidly.
At the same time, when Chen Wen was staring at the numbers on the table and lost in thought, Tian Dahu, who had just recovered from fear, also noticed something strange about his friend. He turned his head and saw Chen Wen staring at the table as if in a daze. Tian Dahu was a little puzzled here. After all, in his personal impression, numbers are numbers. No matter who it is, once numbers appear on the desk, it is equivalent to being sentenced to death. The numbers themselves are meaningless. What else does it mean besides representing a death sentence? Do you care?
Having said that, unexpectedly, at this moment, Chen Wen stared at the desktop for a long time without responding?
Are you scared? Was he frightened like that coward Li Bin? No, it's impossible. Judging from the opponent's recent performance, even though he is well aware of the existence of the tiger, his friend has always maintained his composure. He is much better than himself. It can even be said that the opponent is the calmest one in the entire class. He is the one with the strongest observation ability, and he never forgets to analyze and look for clues even when he is calm. Otherwise, he would not come up with various survival methods one after another and finally doubt Tian Xiaoya's true identity. Would such a person be scared? Taking a step back, even if the number representing death has appeared on the table, Chen Wen will be afraid due to human instinctive reaction to death, but he shouldn't be blinded by it, right?
Um?
So, with suspicion and curiosity, he put aside his random thoughts and followed the other person's gaze. The short and fat boy stretched his neck and looked at Chen Wen's table.
Then, when he saw the big number 0 on the opponent's desktop, it was exactly as expected. Tian Dahu's eyes widened suddenly. In addition to being surprised, he blurted out immediately:
"Eh? This, this... Chen Wen, what's the number on your desk? Why is it like this?"
Obviously, similar to Chen Wen, or in addition to Chen Wen, Tian Dahu has recently also figured out the numbers and the daily appearance patterns of numbers. Just now, when he saw with his own eyes that Sun Li was 34, Li Bin was 35, Zhao Lanting was 37, and Even if I didn't look at Chen Wen's desktop specifically at first, the short and fat boy would have instinctively determined that the other person's desktop was 38. After all, there were only 38 people in the whole class, and the numbers always corresponded to the number of people in the class. I never thought...
Back to the topic, due to being too shocked and too puzzled, during the inquiry, Tian Dahu pointed at the desk and looked at Chen Wen with surprised eyes. He really hoped that the other party could give an explanation. Unfortunately, Chen Wen, who was deep in thought, did not Ignoring him, he still stared at the table and sat in silence for a long time.
It is said that one stone stirs up a thousand waves. As time passed, except for Tian Dahu who was the first to come to his senses, the other students currently in the classroom also came back from the initial fear and stupor. Therefore, Tian Dahu was surprised just now. The inquiry inevitably attracted the attention of several other people. Sure enough, out of curiosity, after Tian Dahu, Li Bin and Zhao Lanting also walked to Chen Wen's seat. Seeing that most people were like this, they forcibly stopped crying, and Sun Li followed closely behind.
Sure enough, when the three of them saw the number 0 on Chen Wen's desktop, their reactions were similar to Tian Dahu's. They all stared at the table with surprised expressions. No one spoke for a while. However, maybe they thought that this matter had nothing to do with them or maybe it was. The pessimism was too strong. After observing for a moment and sighing, Li Bin shook his head and said in a desperate tone: "It doesn't matter, the number is meaningless. Anyway, as long as the number appears on the desk, anyone will die."
Strictly speaking, what Li Bin said is right. The reason does not need to be explained at all. After several days of observation and confirmation, no matter what the number is or whose desk the number appears on, once a number appears on the desk, then the owner of this desk will Will disappear! The ending without exception is that no one is alive or dead, and no corpses are seen. Based on this point of view, so in Li Bin's opinion, what if Chen Wen's desktop numbers are strange? So what if the numbers are unexpected? Could this mean anything? Wouldn't the result be the same death?
It is also worth mentioning that due to memory interference, no one except Chen Wen and Tian Dahu, who had been specifically informed by him, knew that Tian Xiaoya had escaped the death number several times in a row.
Da, da, da, da.
At the same time, in the classroom, just as Chen Wen was deep in thought and meditation, while the others were gathered around the table and talking, the sound of a series of footsteps came out, and the man who had been sitting in his seat for a long time in the back row of the classroom was heard. Tian Xiaoya made a move. She stood up from the table and walked slowly towards where Chen Wen and everyone were.
Noticing Tian Xiaoya approaching, the other three people ignored it. After all, in the eyes of Li Bin, Sun Li and Zhao Lanting, Tian Xiaoya was just an unlucky guy like them. Only Tian Dahu was very frightened, especially when When the other party came closer, he instinctively shuddered. While trembling, the short and fat boy hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to look at Tian Xiaoya. It is conceivable that for Tian Dahu, who thought he knew the 'truth', at this time At this moment, he was extremely afraid of the thin girl in front of him!
As for Chen Wen...
Perhaps he had been deep in thought and was unaware of everything around him. When Tian Xiaoya came closer, he had no reaction or movement. He was still sitting in his personal seat with his head slightly lowered. He didn't know what to think about Tian Xiaoya. Xiaoya was not aware of her approach.
As the footsteps got closer, Tian Xiaoya, like Li Bin and others, soon gathered around Chen Wen's desk. After seeing the numbers on the desk clearly, for some reason, the girl's silent face that had not changed for thousands of years was revealed. There was a rare strange color, and he seemed to be also very concerned about the obvious number 0 in front of him.
Then……
He turned his head slightly and shifted his gaze to Chen Wen, who was bowing his head in thought.
At this moment, looking at Chen Wen who was deep in thought, and at the young man who had been silent for a long time, in a daze, it was not just an illusion, but it actually happened. If someone observes carefully, they will see the corners of Tian Xiaoya's mouth raised slightly.
………
Time continued to pass, and the environment was silent, giving people an indescribable feeling of desolation along with the entire campus.
As for the teaching building, as for the classroom of Class 2, Grade 3, it is now also wrapped in silence, wrapped in that indescribable desolation. Dead silence is the only subject here, and depression is the only melody here. Even though there are still several students here, but , facing death, facing the upcoming final fate, they were afraid, and the human instinct to fear death prompted them to look ashen as death.
That being said, isn't it true in reality? At this moment, they ignored the westward sun outside the window and ignored everything around them. Looking at the Arabic numerals on their desks, the students were extremely frightened, because the appearance of the numbers represented death, and it also meant that the six of them would never see the third number again. Two days of sunshine!
However, nothing is absolute.
Just like everyone else was frightened when they found that the sun was about to set, through the window, when he saw the sun gradually setting towards the west, Chen Wen had also made up his mind at the same time, and then made a decision that was good for him personally and for everyone. A very important final decision for the remaining students!
That is……
Tonight, he will end it all! Understand this matter thoroughly! ! !
No matter the final outcome is death or alive!
Thinking of this, Chen Wen moved, and finally returned to reality from the long-lasting thinking state earlier. He suddenly raised his head, first looked at the slightly darkened sky outside the classroom window, and then turned back and said something to everyone around him. words, a rather surprising statement:
"I suggest that all of us don't go home tonight and just spend the night here."
After hearing what Chen Wen said, the reactions of the people present were indeed different. Some people nodded silently and some were confused. Seeing this, before others asked, Chen Wen immediately explained directly:
"First of all, everyone knows that now all of us have been cursed by the death number. If we go home individually, I worry that the lone ones will be more likely to be attacked by lynx. Rather than doing this, it is better for everyone to gather together. At least, at least survive. The probability is higher than that of one person alone.”
As mentioned above, since he plans to understand this moment tonight, he must find a way to bring the remaining students together. Although his true intention is not consistent with what he said above, his words are still very reasonable, even if Having more people and more strength in front of a dragon is bullshit, but at least we can huddle together to keep warm, right? To put it bluntly, even if the final outcome cannot be changed, it is better to die with so many people beside you than to be slaughtered by a wolf alone.
Sure enough, because Chen Wen's words hit everyone's mind, and as he had this intention, Chen Wen finished speaking. In front of him, Tian Dahu, who had just turned on the classroom lights, turned around and was the first to express his position: "I support Chen Wen's suggestion. What he said makes sense. Regardless of whether we go home individually or stay at school, the tigers will eventually come to us. In this case, it would be safer if everyone stayed in school and gathered in one place."
After Tian Dahu finished expressing his stance, he immediately looked at the other people. However, somewhat surprisingly, after a moment of silence, the second person to express his stance was neither Zhao Lanting nor Li Bin nor Sun Li, but... Tian Xiaoya!
"I'll stay tonight too."
Tian Xiaoya just said this and stopped talking. Seeing that the other party actually supported her suggestion, Chen Wen couldn't help but look at the girl a few more times while being suspicious.
It is said that the power of motivation is very true. Putting aside what was in his mind earlier, seeing that Chen Wen, Tian Dahu and Tian Xiaoya had all decided to stay at school overnight, Zhao Lanting, who had been frightened for a long time, instinctively said: : "If that's the case, then, then I'll stay too."
Sure enough, seeing that 4 people from Luli now agreed, Li Bin and Sun Li, who had been hesitating just now, finally panicked. In order to survive and seize the last glimmer of hope, they both hurriedly nodded and expressed their willingness to stay with everyone. Stay together.
After confirming that the opinion was passed, Chen Wen nodded slightly as he looked at the people in the classroom who were willing to stay overnight. It seemed that these people were not as stupid as he thought, but after thinking about it, this result was natural. After all, human beings They are advanced intelligent creatures. When faced with the threat of death, humans' innate instinct to stick together will still prompt them to choose the path most likely to survive. Even if this path is not necessarily useful, in order to increase the chance of survival, even if it is just With just a hint of psychological comfort, humans will still make this choice.
Of course, instinct is instinct, and then again, except for Chen Wen’s unknown purpose and Tian Xiaoya’s unknown identity, there is another reason why the others finally decided to gather in the classroom to spend the night tonight. It has been confirmed many times that every time Almost all students disappear when they go home and disappear alone. This means that a single person is extremely vulnerable to attack. To use war terminology, it is easy for the enemy to defeat them one by one. Rather than doing this, it is really not as good as everyone. It’s better if we all gather together as a team. At least we have someone to look after us when we are in danger, and at worst we can remind each other.
Shaking his head, Chen Wen temporarily put aside his distracting thoughts and shifted his gaze, looking at the slowly darkening sky outside the window. Then Chen Wen continued to say to everyone: "Since everyone has unanimously decided to stay, then this matter is settled. Well, as for how to tell my family, let’s find our own reasons, and go to an off-campus restaurant or canteen for dinner.”
Due to the unanimous opinion and consensus reached, although most students did not have mobile phones, fortunately Lin Bin did. Soon, everyone called their families and gave various reasons to express their intention not to go home tonight. Others did the same, and Chen Wen did the same. , what is a bit surprising is...
While everyone was on the phone, Tian Xiaoya sat silently aside, with no intention of making a phone call.
Of course, it was just a thought in his mind. Chen Wen didn't want to cause more trouble at this time.
………
The alternation of night and day is a natural principle. Day will not exist forever, and night will not last forever. The only constant is the movement of time. As time passes, gradually, a new round of day and night alternation is coming. Perhaps to others today, the alternation of day and night is coming. It was still an ordinary night, but for Chen Wen, and for the few students in Class 2, Grade 3, 21 Middle School who were still alive, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
The sun was setting and the sky was getting dark.
About an hour and a half later, when the time gradually entered 20 o'clock, when black completely filled the sky, with all kinds of uneasiness, mixed with fear, several people who had finished dinner outside the school returned to the classroom one after another.
Li Bin and Sun Li were the last two people to return to the classroom. When they entered the classroom, they found that everyone else was already there. Seeing this, the two of them didn't say anything, just found two places and cuddled closely together.
Then, there was silence, silence, and unprecedented fear.
Everyone remained silent, no one said a word. It was not that no one spoke out of boredom, but that there was really nothing to say, and I really didn’t know what to say?
I wonder who in this world can chat and laugh with others before death is imminent?
What's even more tragic is...
They can't handle it! There is no possibility of survival and self-rescue!
Nowadays, the reason why we sit together in the classroom is just to hug each other to keep warm. To put it harshly, it is just because we don’t want to die alone!
They were all sentenced to death. They could only wait for death to come. At most...
At most, he could struggle a little before dying.
At present, the huge campus is empty, and most of the classes in the teaching building are dark. The reason why I use most instead of all is because only the classroom of Class 2, Grade 3, is brightly lit, and there are 6 male and female students sitting in it who look frightened. , yes, these people all looked solemn and frightened, but they did nothing. Even though the atmosphere was extremely depressing, no one said anything from beginning to end. The reason is as mentioned above, tonight, they are going to die, who will In the mood to chat?
Feeling the dead silence and depression, Sun Li finally took the lead and couldn't help it anymore. Maybe she concluded that she wouldn't survive the night, or maybe she just couldn't resist the depressing atmosphere. While everyone else was on guard, Sun Li, who had been close to Li Bin, spoke. , slowly raised his head, and asked his boyfriend in a tone of fear and reluctance: "Li Bin, if I die, will you remember me in the future?"
Li Bin, who was looking around nervously, did not expect that Sun Li would ask him such a meaningless question. After hearing this, Li Bin even wanted to roar loudly on the spot, roaring whether the other party was stupid. After all, this wolf did not just kill one person, But everyone present will not let anyone go! If you, Sun Li, were killed by Qi, how could I, surnamed Li, be safe and sound?
Fortunately, there is indeed some affection between the two. When he heard the voice, although he cursed in his heart, he still comforted her with a soft voice: "Don't worry, we will be fine."
Because I always felt like I didn’t even believe this short message when I said it, maybe in order to give myself more psychological comfort, after a pause, the boy pointed around and continued: "Look, there are six people in the classroom including the two of us. Even if there are really I think there are so many of us who can still be prepared for a sneak attack. As long as we survive tonight, I think... I think we can survive."
Sun Li nodded and replied, "Well, although I'm scared, I believe in you."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Tian Dahu, who had been alert with Chen Wen not far away, couldn't help but get goosebumps. If he hadn't been so nervous at the moment, with his temper, the other person's words alone would have been enough to make him act like him again. He cursed like that during the day. After all, the situation now can be said to be extremely dangerous. He is almost dying. The two of them are still acting like a romantic drama. It's really speechless.
It is said that people are different from each other. In the face of a crisis, if Tian Dahu still has random thoughts, then for Zhao Lanting, she has nothing but fear. At this moment, looking at the dark night sky outside the window, the girl with glasses shivered instinctively. In order not to go further, and to seek some inner comfort, she shifted her gaze to the empty classroom. After a moment of hesitation, she moved, got up, left her seat, and walked towards where Chen Fei and Tian Dahu were.
