heart

(Digression: This chapter was published on February 11, 2019, the same day I finished Wang.) When everybody thinks you're pigeon, you don't have a pigeon, which is a pigeon. )

Time passed calmly. In Kanglong Academy, there were no more waves.

Waves refer to "things outside of the situation". Major events like Tan Ran's attack on a teacher's family, or Lan Silin's attack on an instructor.

This kind of thing is not common in Kanglong Academy. It is often a behavior that only stunned young people who have just entered the academy do. Because the experience summed up by countless predecessors has shown that all the struggles are just useless, and the so-called miracle has long ceased to exist since the moment the students were deceived by their parents into Kanglong Academy.

The apparent tranquility of Kanglong Academy is already an impregnable barrier. In front of the students was more than a three-meter-high, thorny red brick wall. More often than not, it's the students themselves.

Nearly ninety percent of the students caught "escaping" were denounced by their classmates.

For some reason. Li Weiyin always felt that Lan Silin, who had almost broken through that high wall, would be the only person in the entire academy who had a chance to truly break away from Kanglong Academy.

Although his performance in the academy was very rare, many times it was ordinary to the level of excellence. But in Lee's view, his behavior was strange and his thoughts were mysterious, and no one ever knew what he really thought.

He attacked the instructor just so that he could be more comfortable during the seven days he spent in the boring room.

He was always away from the crowds, leaving strange symbols alone.

His "family" is clearly not his family.

The girl knows herself.

Li Weiyin has speculated on countless possibilities, but none of them can match the existing clues. He couldn't guess Lan Silin's thoughts, and he didn't understand his actions.

But Lan Silin did leave Kanglong Academy, just three days ago.

But what stunned Li Weiyin was that he didn't use any tricks or strategies.

- He was taken out.

The person who took him out was the same woman who had relieved him earlier.

Before and after, Lan Silin had only been studying at Kanglong Academy for only a month and a half.

This surprised the entire Kanglong Academy's teachers. In the more than ten years since the establishment of the college, there has never been such a short period of study.

Teachers and instructors speculated that the problem was that on the day of the parent visit, Lan Silin had conveyed the true situation of Kanglong Academy to his sister through some unknown method, so the woman named Liu Yanshi would break into the school half a month later without hesitation, and take him out of the school with a tough and polite attitude.

But this speculation has obvious flaws - the conversation between him and Liu Yanshi that day, the instructor accompanying him heard it clearly, and there was nothing suspicious at all.

The two didn't even have any direct contact, except for the time when Liu Yanshi knocked him on the head.

Lee's speculation is different. He thought that the woman was not Lan Silin's parent at all, and the two might be in some kind of partnership, sending Lan Silin to Kanglong Academy, and then picking her up a month later, in order to let Lan Sirin achieve a certain goal in Kanglong Academy.

But this conjecture could not be established, because there were many joints that he could not figure out, and there were not enough clues to support this argument. He couldn't even guess Lan Celin's motives.

All in all, Lan Silin made a grand appearance on a winter morning in a way that no one could have imagined, and quietly disappeared on a calm day. Many of the students in the zero-breaking class even found out a few days later that there was one less person in the class.

Previously, all Li Weiyin's investigation and vigilance against him seemed to have become a big joke.

He had expected it to settle down as if nothing had happened. But he soon realized he was wrong.

On this afternoon, he wore a sweat-soaked school uniform as usual, and was the last to come to the cafeteria window, made half a bowl of pork bran, and sat calmly in his corner.

The corners of the tables here still retain scorched marks, left by Fang Chang's group when they set fire to escape. He did not resist the smell of oil smoke in his nose, and enjoyed his lunch intently.

For more than a month, there was a man sitting at the table opposite him. Now that the man is gone, he doesn't miss it, but feels relieved.

After Lan Silin left, Li Weiyin carefully recalled what he had done, thinking of the girl who knew him, and he secretly felt that Lan Silin had already known about himself - with the mentality of giving it a try, he had checked the position of the table where Lan Silin was sitting when no one was looking, but unfortunately, he did not find any clues.

Obviously, Lan Silin didn't come for herself. The more likely explanation is that everything was just accidental, and his own speculation about his bizarre behavior was only a manifestation of paranoia.

Just as he was thinking, another person sat down beside him. Li Weiyin's heart jumped subconsciously, and he immediately sank suddenly.

- Instructor Liang.

Instructor Liang has changed to a new pair of farsighted eyes. The gold wire frame made him look extraordinary, but Li Weiyin only felt terrifying.

"Do you miss me...... Wei Yin? ”

Cold sweat trickled down his back, and his soaked clothes brought a pervasive chill.

Li Weiyin has been obsessed with observing Lan Silin for the past month, but he has ignored the most essential changes he has brought to his life.

Due to Lan Silin's attack on Instructor Liang's relationship, the latter was full of resentment towards him, and during his stay at the school, Instructor Liang stumbled Lan Silin countless times, but after all, he failed to catch Lan Silin's horse feet and sent him to fight the dragon whip fifty times again.

It is precisely because of this that Instructor Liang's attention was diverted, and Li Weiyin's dark life was finally able to breathe.

Now Lan Silin is gone. His rare and comfortable life was shattered.

This corner was inconspicuous because it had not been occupied for a long time, and the students in the cafeteria were buried in eating, and no one noticed the situation at all. Instructor Liang reached out and put his hand on Li Weiyin's knee without a trace, moving it up little by little.

He still had a smile on his face.

"I don't think I've been chatting with you privately in almost a month, right? I've really wronged you......"

Li Weiyin pursed his lips and straightened his body, every cell in his body seemed to be pulling at his body, urging him to shout and flee from here. But reason told him no.

He is not like others. He basically won't have the opportunity to leave Kanglong Academy again. If you annoy Instructor Liang, you will only bring him endless vicious torture.

"Yo, Instructor Liang, you're here too, hello instructor."

A voice rang in my ears coldly. Instructor Liang withdrew his hand that was about to touch the base of Li Weiyin's thigh like an electric shock, and frowned. Li Weiyin turned his head away, his face full of surprise.

Fang Chang sat down next to the two of them with a big smile and a big grin, holding the lunch box, grinning with a mouthful of big white teeth:

"I'm here to have dinner with my classmates."

Instructor Liang was silent for a while, narrowed his eyes slightly, glared at Fang Chang viciously, and said gloomily:

"Fang Chang, you are not small."

"What are you talking about? Instructor Liang. Why can't I understand? ”

"Hmph." Instructor Liang also stopped answering, stood up and turned his head to leave.

Li Weiyin took a few deep breaths as if he had been pardoned, and looked at Fang Chang with a little more doubt in his eyes.

Fang Chang looked at him directly, and suddenly said:

"Want to know why I'm helping you?"

Li Weiyin nodded.

"I'll help you, you help me."

Li Weiyin shook his head.

Fang Chang clenched his fists and made a "hiss" sound, but did not leave.

"That day, you said that we couldn't get out, because we already knew that Stone Town was the eyeliner of Kanglong Academy?"

Li Weiyin nodded.

"How do you know? What else do you know? ”

Li Weiyin glanced at Fang Chang and shook his head.

"What do you mean by that?" Fang Chang was a little impatient.

Li Weiyin was silent for a while, and finally spoke:

"I know a lot of things. Don't think about running away anymore. ”

"What's the difference between staying in a place like this and dying?"

"It doesn't hurt to die."

"Then why don't you die?"

Li Weiyin said indifferently:

"Because I'm afraid of death."

"So you're here as the walking dead? Let that surnamed Liang be slaughtered? ”

"We didn't have a choice."

Fang Chang exhaled a long breath and slowly calmed himself down.

"Li Weiyin, listen to me. Don't be so pessimistic, I know you're a smart guy, you're smarter than anyone in this class, and with your ingenuity, you're sure to come up with something good, even if it's just a glimmer of hope......"

"Even if you go out, you'll come back sooner or later." Li Weiyin interrupted him suddenly, and his voice was so indifferent that there was no trace of emotion:

"When you walk out of the gate of this academy, you're a bad student who skips school."

"So what, I'm out anyway......"

"What about your parents?"

Fang Chang was speechless for a moment.

He finally remembered the most essential and crucial thing.

He is a stubborn bad boy in the mouth of his parents, and it is his biological parents who tricked him into Kanglong. Even if he successfully escaped from Kanglong Academy, he had no money or education, so he could only return to his parents.

At that time, even if he told all the truth about Kanglong Academy, would his parents believe him or Kanglong?

Li Weiyin ignored him and ate by himself. When he swallowed the last bite of food into his stomach, Fang Chang finally sighed faintly.

"That's right."

Li Weiyin's heart sank, and he raised his head suddenly.

"That guy?" He asked.

Fang Chang shook his head and smiled frustratedly:

"Who else could it be, that one named Lan Silin."

Li Weiyin was like a thunderbolt. In his month-long observation of Lan Celin, he had never maintained a friend-like relationship with anyone in the Zero Breaking Class, and he would not even say a word when he didn't have to.

And that Lan Silin, when she didn't know, discussed things related to herself with Fang Chang.

"What did he say to you?"

"Nothing." Fang Chang smiled bitterly, and looked at Li Weiyin again:

"You're not going to sue, are you? You're dumb after all. ”

Li Weiyin nodded.

Fang Chang continued:

"I didn't want to look for you. I have a crush on Lan Silin. Because he almost escaped from the boring room, I think he may have the idea of escaping from Kanglong, plus...... He's smart. So, I contacted him privately. ”

"He didn't promise to run away with me. Say you have something important to do. He recommended you to me and said that you can do this kind of thing...... Then, he handed me a piece of paper. ”

"Paper?"

"Paper." Fang Chang fumbled in his pocket for a while, and threw him a crumpled ball of paper:

"Scratch paper. I don't know what it means either. See for yourself. ”

With that, he sighed again and stood up:

"I'm done. Since you won't promise me, then I don't have much more to say. ”

Li Weiyin was silent for half a second and said:

"I owe you a favor."

Fang Chang waved his hand without looking back:

"Find me again when you figure it out."

Watching Fang Chang's back gradually move away and sit down on another table, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the crumpled scratch paper in his hand, feeling a lot of anxiety in his heart.

When his gaze swept to the first line, he was startled.

That's not what Lan Silin wrote.

This scratch paper was torn from a fairy tale.

The name printed on the header.

The name is called "Tin Man".

Li Weiyin knew the book.

Because this book is the one that Liu Yanshi handed over to Lan Silin on that parental visit day.

The book was clearly in the custody of the instructor, and there was no reason why he could get it back. So how did he tear off this page?

Li Weiyin examined the paper. Judging from the content of this page, it should be the last page of the story of "Tin Man".

He had never seen the story. It's an ordinary fairy tale, and the language is simple and concise.

But for some reason, the story seems to have a strange quality: Li Weiyin only feels that the words on the paper have some strange gravitational pull, and before he knows it, he has grabbed his consciousness.

Li Weiyin's gaze slowly swept down the pages, and he felt that his heart was sinking a little bit.

And in the blank part below the end, there is Lan Silin's handwriting.

Looking at the simple, clear words, Li Weiyin's almost halted heartbeat reached a peak in an instant.

"Find the next letter. Then find your heart. ”

"The clue is ......"
