Chapter 32: Awakening in the Shelter Schoolhouse Called "Prison" (1)
Looking at Cyrus's back as she stepped through the school gates, I let out a long sigh and pulled a mirror out of my pocket. On the mirror was my handsome face with a little tiredness and indifference, so handsome that I had forgotten what I looked like before the crossing.
"That's all there is to it. Listen to me, no matter what," I said to myself in the mirror, "I'll leave it to you for the next year." ”
Wrong...... Since the transhuman's plan is delayed, maybe I'll have more time to prepare.
Regardless, I'm 100% sure that from the moment I step through the gates, I'll forget everything from now until the start of the Killing Academy.
If you are like Hibiki Kiriko, when you wake up, you will even forget your talents, your identity and mission. When I finally remembered the whole thing, I was afraid that it was too late to regret it.
Even so, just standing at the school gate like this, I'm afraid there will be no results. Facing the unknown future, I took steps without hesitation.
Just as I expected. The moment I stepped through the school gates, I felt a sense of whirlwind enveloping my whole body. I only felt as if I was caught up in a huge whirlpool, and as the whirlpool swirled, I was crumpled into a ball of paper and plunged into the endless darkness.
……
When I woke up again, I couldn't help but look around.
"Here...... It's probably the classroom of Hope Peak School Park.。 I said to myself.
There is not much to say in the classroom. Compared to a normal classroom, it's not much bigger.
It's just that in the classroom of Panlong Kingdom, there are generally at least 30 tables and chairs. In comparison, there are only eighteen here, which is a little less.
Beaulieu Country? Why am I so interested in Beaulieu Country? I'm Japanese!
His gaze casually turned to the table. Next to it was a promotional advertisement, and I picked it up and looked at it.
A new semester has begun! Please adjust your mood, this school is your new world! In addition, please arrive at the school gate before 8 o'clock to attend the entrance ceremony!
This is...... What kind of cheap flyer?
The handwritten text and the clumsy drawings of the crayons made me want to complain.
Then I saw the yellow CCTV on the wall, and the surveillance probes that were also yellow. The latter, in particular, gave me a disgusting feeling.
Whether it is for safety or for the psychological burden of the person being monitored, the monitoring probe should be made as small as possible. Installing such a large surveillance probe on the ceiling so abruptly is like saying to the people in the room, "The principal is watching over you!" "Same.
Oh yes, and that CCTV...... It's just disgusting. The pair of supporting equipment in front of me reminds me of the electric screen of "1984".
Directly above the CCTV is an alarm clock with the hands pointing to 7:55. It makes me feel a little strange: Am I only in a coma for five minutes?
Compared to this, it's better to go to the gate to report quickly, if you are late, it will not be good.
Walking through the hallway, there is a long corridor in front of and behind you, and the purple lights and black-and-white lattice floor tiles exude an oppressive feeling. The corridor behind it is not long, and the circular arch at the end still has the number "Entrance to the dormitory building".
When I was about to reach the gate of the school building, I could see from a distance that a fat man as fat as a large balloon was pulling open a heavy oak door. Kindly invite a girl in a black gothic outfit with an oversized spiral wig inside.
I was at the back and pushed open the oak door.
The scale of the "entrance" at the gate is much larger than I imagined. To the left and right are a long list of awards and trophies, as well as CCTV and surveillance probes identical to those in classrooms.
"Hey, are you a freshman here?" A man in a white uniform, standing as straight as a soldier, waved at me and greeted me earnestly, "Five minutes to go." It's time for the entrance ceremony! I hope you don't always arrive on the spot, in case there is a last-minute change......"
"Hey...... Compared to this," interrupted a yellow-haired man in a black suit next to him, "now...... Are we all there? ”
"Right...... Oh yes," the white-uniformed man's mouth twitched, "count the numbers." ”
"Cut...... Does this need to be counted......" In a dark corner, a girl with a face even darker than that one whispered, "Even idiots know...... There should be 16 students in total, and there are only 14 people here......"
As if realizing that I glanced at her, she glared back, but didn't say anything.
Then the door was pushed open again. A girl with a double ponytail barged in and asked impatiently, "What's going on with this school?" ”
This guy wears heavy makeup and has big wavy blonde hair on his head, like jumping out of a fashion magazine. The scruffy uniform had an exaggerated open breast, a skirt that was so short that it seemed like she might have a sick brain, and her outstretched legs were long and white.
"Ah, classmate, your speed ......"
The boy in the white uniform wanted to say something, but a hint of murderous intent flashed in the blonde girl's eyes, which frightened the boy in the white uniform.
It seems that this guy is deeply hidden......
Speaking of which...... And one more in ......
"That's right...... What about that Sapaki-kun? A cute girl in a sailor suit rubbed her eyes and asked timidly, "There is one more person left...... It must be her, right? ”
"It's too slow......" the grim-looking girl grumbled softly as she glanced around us.
"Wait a minute," the gothic girl who had just come in clasped her hands and crossed them over her abdomen, "and five minutes, isn't it?" ”
Five minutes later, someone slammed the door open. A diminutive boy gasped for breath, scratched his face and rushed into the entrance, shouting: "I'm sorry! I passed out just now, and then I was late......"
"Are you like that too?" A tall, scruffy man with his hair exaggerated in several strands and standing on the back of his head put on a surprised expression and asked the new intruder, "Have you been unconscious too?" ”
"If that's the case...... I feel that things are getting stranger and stranger......" The white-skinned girl in a black gothic outfit looked up thoughtfully.
"It's anomalous...... It's a preview of an unusual state of affairs......" The fat man with glasses waved his hands in horror, "It's completely a prison ......"
"It's too slow!" The boy in the white uniform rebuked with a stern expression, "Miaomu-kun! You're thirty seconds behind the allotted time! I'm going to write this into a report and give you a serious ......"
The blonde girl retorted, "But in this case, everyone will be at a loss......
"That's right!" A dark-skinned girl clenched her hands into fists and shouted at us with vigor, "So be it! For the sake of the next few students, let's introduce ourselves again, and we can be regarded as getting to know each other! ”
