After the middle-aged man who was studying for self-study left, Ning Qiushui discovered that there was no wall clock in the classroom.
And there is no class schedule.
At first glance it doesn't seem like much, but when you think about it more... something feels wrong.
He looked at the classmates around him who were gradually getting up to go to the cafeteria to eat, and he grabbed one of them casually.
"Hey, student Liu Chun, why don't we have a timetable and a wall clock in our classroom?"
The tall, fat boy known as Liu Chun glanced at Ning Qiushui with confusion in his eyes.
“Why do we need a timetable and a wall clock?”
Ning Qiushui said:
"In this way, we know what will be taught in the next class and can prepare in advance."
Liu Chun shook his head, broke away from Ning Qiushui's hand, and said:
"The class schedule is only available from the teacher. The teacher will arrange it by himself every day. We just need to complete the learning goals as required."
"As for the clock, it doesn't matter. Everyone is racing against time to study anyway. Who has time to pay attention to the time?"
After finishing speaking, Liu Chun reached out and put his hand on Ning Qiushui's shoulder, and advised him sincerely:
"Ning Qiushui, there are less than 100 days left for the municipal exam. Don't think about these things. Study hard. Xueyun Academy is the best academy in the city. Don't embarrass the academy by then."
In the academy, everyone wears special uniforms with names and codes written on the chest, so even if they don't know each other, they can call each other's names accurately.
After Liu Chun finished speaking, he left the classroom, seemingly cherishing his time.
The other students in the classroom were about the same.
Before long, there were only 13 people left in the classroom.
Everyone exchanged glances with each other and immediately confirmed that they were all from Guishe.
"Thirteen people... As expected, there will be many people in the door with puzzle pieces."
A man with permed and curly hair spoke, his tone full of ridicule and provocation.
This man's name is Zeng Shen.
"Since everyone is here to grab the pieces of the puzzle, there is no need to say any more. Let's just do our best in the remaining five days!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another short boy wearing glasses raised his hand weakly.
"Let me explain, I didn't enter this door just for the puzzle pieces. I don't need the puzzle pieces. You can just take them. I entered this door because it was my turn...you know what I mean. I won’t compete with you for puzzle pieces, so I hope you won’t embarrass me.”
Everyone looked at him. This boy's name was Yang Yibowen.
Yang Yi is the surname.
"Okay, stop pretending. They are all people who have passed through the fifth door. There is no point in pretending anymore."
Zeng Shen was impatient.
"I've seen people like you a lot. On the surface, you pretend to be a pig, but secretly, you're a man-eating tiger."
Yang Yibowen was a little anxious. He waved his hands hastily and said in a frightened tone:
"I'm serious. I'm really just passing by. I will never compete with you for puzzle pieces. I swear!"
"And I won't create any obstacles for you!"
He seemed to have been harmed by someone in the previous blood sect, and he realized the dangers of people's hearts. At this moment, he was actually a bit jealous, fearing to get involved in everyone's fight for the puzzle pieces.
A very petite and cute girl in the seat opposite him stood up and said:
"Oops, okay!"
"If you don't want to get involved in unnecessary disputes, why don't you just stay away from other people?"
"Time is very tight here. Don't forget the reminder given to us by Blood Gate. Let's go eat quickly. There is an exam in the afternoon!"
This girl is Yang Mei.
She didn't want to waste time in such unnecessary disputes.
After saying that, she came directly to the door and looked at Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at Ning Qiushui, and the two of them went out directly.
Others also came out of the classroom one after another, heading towards the cafeteria in groups of twos and threes.
"Brother Qiu Shui, I didn't expect you to be quite handsome... your voice is different from the one on the phone."
Yang Mei smiled, walked to the front, turned around in a circle, and stretched again.
Ning Qiushui smiled and replied:
"The appearance and the voice don't match, isn't that normal?"
Yang Mei pouted:
"Hey, the difficulty of the blood gate this time is a bit beyond my expectation. There are actually 13 of us. I didn't expect that I would be so unlucky. The fifth blood gate encountered puzzle pieces, and so did Fengyu... the two of us We are so unlucky together. If I had known I wouldn't have fallen in love with him, bad luck can be contagious..."
Ning Qiushui glanced at her in surprise.
"Are you and Fengyu a couple?"
Yang Mei nodded.
"Yes."
"That boy is so rude. Last time he brought flowers and blocked the door of my office to confess his love to me... Huh, I should have given him a blow right then and let him lose face!"
Yang Mei seemed to blame Fengyu's bad luck for hitting the bloody door with puzzle pieces, but there wasn't much blame in her tone.
"Isn't Fengyu with you?"
Ning Qiushui asked again.
Yang Mei shook her head.
"What are you doing with me? This door is so dangerous."
After a pause, Yang Mei's tone suddenly became a little more gloomy, and she asked the two of them:
"By the way, I have one thing to ask you. Did you see anyone when you were in the classroom just now?"
Two people: "Who is it?"
Yang Mei: "Actually, I'm not sure. He was standing in the free area at the back of the classroom. He looked a bit like a student who was pushed to the back by the teacher to make him stand. But there was no free space in the classroom. I was worried that he might not be a human being, so I didn’t dare to look back at that time, I just looked down at his feet.”
"His feet were very strange, one foot was not wearing a shoe and it was very dirty, as if there was a lot of dust on it."
When they heard this, the expressions on Ning Qiu's and Bai Xiaoxiao's faces changed slightly.
"I looked back, but I didn't notice anyone behind the classroom."
Hearing what Ning Qiushui said, Yang Mei's face suddenly became a little stiff.
"Wipe it, you really encountered something dirty, right?"
"It seems that I really got bad luck from that Fengyu guy, and I just entered the blood gate!"
She rubbed her arms, which were covered with goose bumps.
Yang Mei did not tell the two of them that the guy was very close to her at that time, almost touching her back.
Their classroom is on the third floor.
After going downstairs, we came to the cafeteria. There was a big clock hanging in the cafeteria.
The time on the clock was ticking and the sound was loud.
The cafeteria is full of students who are immersed in eating, and there is almost no interaction between them. There are many people in this place, but it is not as noisy as expected.
Everyone ate very quickly, as if they wanted to finish the meal quickly and then go back to the classroom to continue studying.
The huge clock overhead kept making an amplified ticking sound.
The three of them were eating, and the voice kept ringing in their ears. Bai Xiaoxiao raised his head and glanced at the giant clock, and couldn't help but say:
"This academy is really strange. There is no clock in the classroom, but there is one in the cafeteria...it seems like someone is rushing you even when you are eating."
