Step, step, step......

The sound of footsteps startled a cloud of dust, and the shadows of the abandoned buildings intertwined with darkness and thick green folded horizontally in the spacious space, creating an atmosphere like the end of civilization.

Zhou Zhen walked unhurriedly between the concrete columns, turned a corner, and an electronic door appeared in front of him, with grooves on the door for swiping cards.

This scene was exactly the same as the first time he came, when Xie Qiongning took out the invitation to the trade fair and swiped open the door.

But now......

Zhou Zhen's mind moved slightly, and he opened the door in an instant with the [Airdrop Trojan].

Behind the door is a small undecorated rough hall with two modified doll costumes, one for ducks and one for cheetahs.

The appearance, location, size, and ...... of the doll costume It's the same as when he entered here before.

That time, Xie Qiongning chose a cheetah doll costume, and he put on the rest of the duck doll costume.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen still picked up the duck doll costume and simply put it on his body.

He continued to follow the fluorescent arrow, where there was no light from the ground, and it was lit only by light bulbs lit by improvised wiring on the walls.

Many small flying insects came in one after another, constantly hitting the glass cover, making a subtle crisp sound.

Semi-enclosed abandoned space with a dusty and musty smell.

A familiar staircase appeared in front of it, in the shape of a "mouth", spiraling to connect the upper and lower floors.

Looking at the staircase, Zhou Zhen did not pause, and strode downstairs.

This is the [Penrose Ladder], when he and Xie Qiongning entered here together, they were trapped here by this ladder and have never been able to leave this "digital forest".

However, according to the rules of this "digital forest", when participating in the trade fair, there will be no accidents, and the focus is on after the trade fair is over.

Soon, Zhou Zhen came to the basement floor, and after walking in the direction indicated by the fluorescent arrows for a while, he entered a spacious underground hall.

There is no partition in this underground hall, and because of the light, you can't see the edge at a glance, only a few thick concrete columns, standing far and near.

Behind the pillars, there is a dark depth.

At this moment, under the load-bearing pillar in the middle of the hall, an old-fashioned round clock is thrown, and the time is 22:55.

The dim light shone silently, and the sound of tiny slapping was incessant, and a large number of moths were fluttering unremittingly.

At this moment, next to the round clock, there have been more than a dozen figures also wearing doll costumes, judging from the appearance of doll costumes, there are big bad wolves, golden monkeys, peacocks, and big white geese......

Everything is not different from the first trade fair.

Zhou Zhen glanced at the people here, walked to the same position as the last time he came, and stopped.

These dolls are all living beings who died in this "digital forest" during the trade fair.

Now, these living beings have become part of this "digital forest", and without outside intervention, they will repeat their previous experiences over and over again.

Just as he was thinking, several more dolls walked out of the corridor in other directions.

The time of the round clock is moving unhurriedly, and the people are quickly arriving.

At 23:00, a figure wearing a frog doll costume also walked out of a corridor.

Huang Xurong has arrived!

He carried a wooden box, walked not far from the crowd, opened the box, and began to sell math textbooks, workbooks, test papers, and books straightforwardly......

All the goods were divided into three parts according to the first, second and third grades.

Just when Huang Xurong explained the trading method, the figure wearing a big white goose doll costume picked up a math textbook and looked at it with fascination.

Huang Xurong suddenly walked over quickly, blocked the half-turned math textbook, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't you understand the rules? ”

"The math textbooks here can only be bought, not read!"

"If you don't want to buy it, you can not buy it!"

The "big white goose" knew that he was at the wrong and hurriedly apologized.

Zhou Zhen picked up a math textbook and looked at it openly, just like when he first came here.

Huang Xurong immediately left the "big white goose" and walked over to Zhou Zhen.

However, just as he was about to walk in front of Zhou Zhen, he suddenly stopped abruptly, and then said loudly: "Everyone! This time, there is a rule to be added! ”

The next moment, all the lights went out in an instant, and the basement suddenly fell into darkness with no fingers in sight.

Whew......

In the direction where Huang Xurong was, there was a rush of footsteps, and he ran!

This scene is still exactly the same as the first trade fair.

But Zhou Zhen didn't mean to chase it this time, he directly took out the flashlight prepared in advance, turned it on, and immediately illuminated a small area around him.

With the help of the light of the flashlight, everyone saw that the "frog" disappeared, and the buyers were in an uproar, and they were all very puzzled by the behavior of the "frog", and they complained a few words, and suddenly someone thought of a very important question: "Could it be that the textbook is fake?" ”

As soon as this sentence fell, the "golden monkey" suddenly said: "Do you know mathematics, check the textbook!" ”

Hearing this, the figure wearing the "Big White Goose" doll costume was just about to speak, and Zhou Zhen had already taken the lead and said, "I'm a math teacher!" Let me check the authenticity of the textbook! ”

As he spoke, he immediately took off his bloated duck doll costume, revealing a typical middle-aged and elderly male teacher's outfit with a yellow and white shirt and gray suit pants inside, and at the same time opened the math textbook he had just picked up and began to read it.

At the moment, it was only lit by a flashlight in his hand, which seemed insignificant in the wide basement.

Seeing this, the people around took out their mobile phones, turned on the "flashlight" function, and came up to help Zhou Zhen illuminate, and for a while, everyone subconsciously acquiesced to Zhou Zhen's identity.

In an instant, Zhou Zhen suddenly felt that he seemed to have a certain connection with the "digital forest" of this "Huangjia Club".

His expression was calm and there was no change, and the source of this "digital forest" was originally his classroom.

He plays the math teacher here, and he plays the math teacher in that classroom, which is essentially not much different, but the risk is almost zero, and there is no need to worry about being discovered by the "digital rain".

Crash...... Crash......

With the sound of turning pages, Zhou Zhen quickly finished reading the first few pages of this textbook, and the content on it looked very normal, which was the high school mathematics knowledge in his impression.

But as he became physically and mentally engaged, he found that sparse numbers began to appear on his body.

These numbers are as small as ants, they gather into dots and blocks, scattered on Zhou Zhen's skin, small in scale, scattered, just like the tattoo pattern of ordinary people's tattoos, which is not the same as the previous body composed entirely of numbers.

The surrounding buyers didn't seem to notice the abnormality at all, and seeing that Zhou Zhen had already flipped through several pages, they couldn't help but start urging: "Hey! Have you seen it? ”

Zhou Zhen ignored these people and continued to look at the math textbook in his hand seriously.

The tattoo-like numbers on his body gradually began to increase, as if there was an invisible hand, grasping the same invisible carving knife, and was constantly tattooing new patterns, quickly covering normal skin.

"Is this a textbook from twenty years ago?"

"Don't patronize yourself, don't you say something!"

"The big guys are waiting!"

The other buyers were urging one after another, and the flashlight that illuminated Zhou Zhen also began to shake.

Zhou Zhen was intently flipping through the math textbooks, as if he hadn't heard them at all.

The dotted numbers have almost completely covered Zhou Zhen's body, and it looks almost exactly the same as the "digital rain".

At this time, he finally raised his head, closed the math textbook in his hand, and all the light sources around him were extinguished in an instant.

The entire underground hall was once again plunged into viscous darkness.

※※※

In the underground corridor, the smell of mold is strong, and even through the doll costume, it still comes to your face.

Knock knock knock......

Huang Xurong ran away with all his might, while vigorously tearing the bloated frog doll costume on his body.

He had heard the same rushing running behind him.

When his scalp was numb, Huang Xurong accelerated his pace again, for fear of being caught by official personnel.

He is now, like Luo Yuchen in the "JWW" cinema, he regards himself as a "digital compatible", and he has no idea of the fact that he is dead.

Running and running, Huang Xurong's head suddenly burst out with a colic that seemed to explode.

"Ah!!h

He let out a terrible scream and hugged his head in extreme pain, and at the same time, the entire building of the "Huangjia Club" seemed to have begun to spin.

In the darkness, Huang Xurong couldn't tell the direction, and he didn't even know whether he was standing in place, or he stumbled and fell, and the almost extreme pain rushed like a tide, cutting his consciousness to pieces, he desperately hugged his head, and his mind was a mess.

After a while, the headache finally began to subside.

Huang Xurong gasped for breath, and was about to continue to escape, when a deep and familiar voice suddenly came into his mind: "Huang Xurong, during class time, you are not allowed to sleep!" ”

Above...... Class?

Huang Xurong looked stunned for a moment, suddenly raised his head, and found that the underground corridor that had just been pitch black and musty smelled had turned into a classroom with bright windows and fresh air.

The darkness that could not be seen was replaced by bright lights.

The frog doll suit, which had not been completely taken off from his body, disappeared at some point, turning into gray crewneck and long sleeves and brown cargo pants.

Behind the desks around him, there was also a classmate sitting.

At least half of these classmates are strong and strong, and their faces are fierce, and their every move is full of evil spirit, which seems to be very difficult to mess with; The other half, both men and women, young and old, are very well-dressed, and their temperament seems to be either rich or expensive.

At this moment, there were stacks of math textbooks on the desks in front of everyone, and everyone looked at the podium in a daze.

On the podium, there was a figure standing, the other party was wearing a yellowed white shirt, gray suit trousers, black belts, and black leather shoes.

In addition to the costumes, the entire body of the other party is made of dense numbers, and he is holding an open math book in his hand, which looks extremely weird.

The moment he saw this figure clearly, Huang Xurong's eyes widened instantly.

This is the math teacher at that school on the outskirts of Marina!

He won't admit that he is wrong!

He remembered that he had escaped from the school, and that he had become a compatible!

He remembered that he relied on the mathematics textbooks he brought out from school, made one fortune after another, and soon got rid of the poverty he had been living since he was a child, and began to live a good life of eating and drinking spicy food and spending money;

He remembers that he was affected by the [Moment of Death], encountering accidents everywhere, encountering accidents from time to time, and even the stray dogs that he had fed once would be knocked to death on the street in a short period of time, and his life became more and more cautious and walking on thin ice;

He remembers......

As a result, now, all of this turned out to be just a dream of myself falling asleep in class?!

He's been in this school all along, and he's never left?

At this time, seeing Huang Xurong's look of disbelief and shock, Zhou Zhen's heart was calm.

Although it was a little reluctant, it was successful in the end!

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate, picked up the math book in his hand, and immediately started the class.

Zhou Zhen's lips moved, emitting a series of undulating sound waves with strange tones.

These sound waves were all made by the "Digital Rain" during class before, and now they are exactly the same as those imitated by him.

Although he doesn't know what he is talking about now, the people below can't understand it anyway, and no one knows if what he said is right, as long as he knows that he is in class!

Time passed slowly, and the alarm clock set by Zhou Zhen in advance rang soon.

Jingle Bell ......

Listening to the familiar bell, Zhou Zhen immediately put down the math textbook, learned the appearance of "digital rain", and announced briefly: "End of class." ”

As he spoke, he put the math textbook together, tucked it under his arm like a lesson plan, and turned around and walked out of the classroom.

As soon as I walked out of the classroom, the surrounding scene changed instantly.

Zhou Zhen returned to the underground hall again, the dim light was still shining quietly, and all the math textbooks in the spacious concrete abandoned building, as well as the figures in doll costumes, had all disappeared.

In the empty basement, only Zhou Zhen dragged out the heavy shadow alone.

He took out his phone, turned off the alarm clock, and then opened the "photo album", the first photo in it, and the second photo were Huang Xurong and the buyers of those math textbooks.

Glancing at his arm, which was all made of numbers, Zhou Zhen closed his eyes vigorously, as if he was thinking about something with all his might.

After a while, he opened his eyes again, his body had returned to normal, and his body was full of normal people's flesh and blood, and there was no trace of the slightest number.

Looking at this scene, Zhou Zhen nodded with great satisfaction, the power of "Digital Rain" is really easy to use!
