Chapter 2 Knowing People and Their Faces
"Lin Yi, what happened to you?"
The classmate next to him noticed Lin Yi's pale face and asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"No... no need." Lin Yi stood up.
He felt confused and wanted to leave here urgently, and wanted to find a quiet place where he could think carefully.
"I suddenly remembered that there was something at home, so I'll leave first." Lin Yi ran out of the KTV quickly.
The streets at night were still busy, and Lin Yi walked aimlessly on the road, his heart was in a mess.
He didn't dare to go home. When he thought that his parents were monsters, he was terrified.
Lin Yi couldn't face them as if nothing had happened, not to mention that the two monsters at home wanted to eat him.
If he went back now, he would definitely reveal his flaws. At that time, I'm afraid that Lin Yi would be killed again without waiting until tomorrow.
But, he was obviously dead, why did he come back to life?
And, he went back to the past?
Lin Yi couldn't figure it out.
More and more questions popped up--
When did the two monsters start pretending to be his parents?
Where are the real parents now? Are they still alive?
What should I do next? Call the police?
The police wouldn't believe this kind of thing.
Lin Yi felt that he was going crazy. He was shaking all over. It felt like a knife was stuck in his chest, stirring his heart.
An inexplicable sadness and panic spread in his heart. Lin Yi didn't know what to do next.
Unconsciously, Lin Yi came to school.
"Lin Yi?" The person walking towards him was Lin Yi's head teacher.
"Teacher Yao." Seeing someone he knew walking towards him, Lin Yi's uneasiness was relieved.
"Why are you here? I heard from the students in the class that you went to sing, didn't you?"
"I..."
"Did you not perform well in the exam? It doesn't matter. There is still a long way to go in the future. The exam is over. Relax."
In Lin Yi's heart, Teacher Yao has always been a gentle and kind person.
He is very good to students. As long as students encounter troubles, he will do his best.
So, Lin Yi decided to speak out about this matter.
"Teacher Yao, I encountered a terrible thing."
"Don't worry, tell me slowly." Teacher Yao seemed to notice Lin Yi's uneasiness and came over to comfort him.
"Teacher Yao, you may not believe this matter if I tell you." Thinking of all the things he had experienced, Lin Yi trembled involuntarily, "But, I really don't know what to do."
"Teacher believes you." Teacher Yao said firmly, "Tell me, I will definitely help you."
"Teacher, my parents..." Lin Yi took a deep breath and continued, "No, they are not my parents. Teacher Yao, they are monsters. They killed my parents and disguised themselves as them."
"Monsters?" Teacher Yao was stunned.
"I'm not lying, everything I said is true."
"Are you sure they are monsters?" Teacher Yao's face became serious, "Lin Yi, you can't joke about this kind of thing."
"I'm not kidding, they are really monsters, I saw it with my own eyes."
Teacher Yao raised his head, he looked around first, and then pulled Lin Yi to a secluded corner.
"Lin Yi, the teacher believes in you."
Teacher Yao's answer moved Lin Yi deeply, he seemed to have found a backer, and the stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground.
"Do you remember what the monster you saw looked like?"
Lin Yi nodded: "I remember."
"They look terrible, their skin is like the shell of a beetle, very hard, even a knife can't pierce it. They also have disgusting tentacles on their abdomens, covered with barbs."
"By the way, they also--" Lin Yi's words have not finished, and suddenly he realizes that Teacher Yao in front of him seems to have become a little strange.
Teacher Yao is not tall and thin.
But now Teacher Yao seems to have grown taller and fatter.
"Lin Yi, the monster you saw..." Teacher Yao had a strange smile on his face.
His mouth slowly opened, and he didn't stop until the corners of his mouth began to tear.
The serrated mouthparts emerged from his mouth, followed by the huge compound eyes.
His stomach began to wriggle, and those tentacles covered with barbs instantly emerged.
"Is that so?"
Lin Yi's mind was blank. He never thought that the teacher in front of him was actually a terrible monster.
When he came to his senses and wanted to escape, those disgusting tentacles had already tightly wrapped around him.
The tentacles kept tightening, and the barbs pierced through the clothes and pierced into the flesh.
"Help... Help... Help..."
The intense pain spread to Lin Yi, and Teacher Yao got closer and closer. He opened his mouth and bit off Lin Yi's neck.
......
"Ding Ding Ding-Ding Ding Ding-"
The alarm of the mobile phone woke Lin Yi up, and he sat up suddenly. Lin Yi found himself sitting on the bed.
Looking around nervously, this is his room.
"I... I'm not dead?"
I quickly picked up the phone, and it was still June 9th.
But the difference was that it was now the morning of June 9th.
"The time is pushed back again? Why?" Lin Yi couldn't figure it out, "Does it mean that every time I am killed, I will go back to the past?"
"Yiyi, are you up?" The mother's voice came from outside the door, "I heard your phone ringing."
"It's the alarm clock, I'm already up!" Lin Yi was startled.
"Mom is coming in." The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Lin Yi's heart was in his throat.
He didn't know how to face the monster outside, and he was even more worried that his fear would be seen: "Don't come in, I... I'm changing clothes!"
"You kid, you have been raised by me since you were a child, what haven't I seen?"
The mother outside the door smiled: "Okay, I won't go in. I'm going out for a while, and the pocket money is on the table."
The mother's gentle tone made Lin Yi feel lost.
If possible, he hoped that all this was just a dream.
However, the memory in his mind clearly told him that all this was real.
"Lin Yi, calm down, calm down!" Lin took a deep breath and kept telling himself in his heart.
He didn't want to die, at least not just like that.
What exactly are these monsters, and whether his parents are still alive, Lin Yi wants to find out.
"When I was killed before, the monster said that people who just turned adult are the most delicious."
Lin Yi began to organize his thoughts: "So, as long as you are over 18, you will be killed by these monsters."
"In other words, as long as you are under 18, you are not a monster."
"This matter cannot be told to adults, but I am no match for these monsters alone..."
Thinking of this, Lin Yi saw the class group in the mobile chat software.
Except for the repeater Lu Linhai who is already 19 years old, the other students in the class are basically under 18.
"There is strength in numbers. Tell them about this matter, maybe they can think of a solution."
In order to avoid the head teacher and Lu Linhai in the group, Lin Yi re-created the group and pulled other students into the group.
"Why is there another group?" Someone in the group sent a message.
"The group owner is Lin Yi."
"Lin Yi, why did you create a new group? And there is no Lin Hai in the group. I will add him in."
"Don't do it!" Lin Yi sent a message in a hurry.
"Everyone, listen to me." This may be the fastest typing speed of Lin Yi in his life.
"Don't tell anyone about this matter, including your parents, teachers, and Lu Lin Hai. Don't tell anyone except us!"
"What is it? It's so mysterious."
"At 10 am, we will gather at the abandoned factory building in the back mountain. I have something to tell you. You must be mentally prepared. Remember, don't tell anyone."
Lin Yi climbed up from the bed. He leaned on the door and listened for a while. He didn't walk out of the room until he confirmed that his mother had left.
The phone suddenly rang at this time, and Lin Yi was startled.
Looking at the screen, it was a call from an unfamiliar number.
Who is this person?
