I Upended Yet Another Campus Urban Legend

Chapter 49

The Unnatural Engineering University resumed classes. The next day was a Wednesday. Kmv16k

Except for Sundays, the bioengineering students’ class schedule was completely full.

Lin Yi and Cheng Yang went to the cafeteria to eat. Now that classes have resumed, there were obviously move students eating in the cafeteria. At first glance, it looked no different from a normal university; but upon closer inspection, there were many differences. The students ate their breakfast very quickly, seeming as though they didn’t want to dawdle in the cafeteria for very long.

There were also some students who looked very nervous. Cheng Yang could tell that most of the nervous-looking students were freshmen.

After Lin Yi finished eating his tea egg, Cheng Yang asked, “Lin Yi Xiong, did you bring the campus rulebook?” RPx8IN

Lin Yi shook his head.

Cheng Yang said, “I didn’t bring it either.”

Hearing Cheng Yang suddenly mention this, Lin Yi raised his head and took a casual look. Almost everyone had the campus rulebook with them.

Cheng Yang said, “Aren’t the two of us being a little too gutsy?”

Lin Yi: “…Then should we go back and get it?”

The two of them ran back to get their copies. After this trip back, there weren’t any more students on their way from the dorms to the teaching building area.

There were still quite a lot of people though. Lin Yi and Cheng Yang saw student union members along the way. Yesterday, when Lin Yi and Cheng Yang went to the teaching building area to pick up their textbooks, they’d also met people from the student union. They would be on duty at areas where Monsters frequently appeared, reminding students not to get close or to leave as soon as possible.

It was different now. They seemed to be recording something down with pen and paper. qXDLoI

Cheng Yang asked in fear, “Will another Monster appear again?”

“Probably not.” Lin Yi said, “Otherwise we wouldn’t be allowed to go to class.”

Cheng Yang: “Right.”

When Lin Yi passed behind them and he quietly glanced at the documents in their hands. pi2UZw

3-7 rule…

By the time Lin Yi and Cheng Yang arrived in the classroom, the teacher was already doing the roll call. Seeing the two latecomers by the door, he asked, “Names.”

Lin Yi: “Lin Yi…”

Cheng Yang: “Cheng Yang…”

The teacher found their names and noted them down as late. “Find a seat and sit down.” VDXWNb

Fortunately, there were only 14 students in Class 22 Bioengineering. Even though the two of them arrived late, there were still many vacant seats in the classroom; it was practically deserted even. It wasn’t like in normal universities, where if you arrived late, you’d have no other choice but to sit at the front row.

Because of Advisor Jiang’s weirdness, the bioengineering students all chose to sit at the back of the classroom, far away from the teacher.

Lin Yi and Cheng Yang sat down on the third row from the back. Lin Yi opened his English book and looked up.

Their English professor was a man in his forties or fifties. Lin Yi looked at him carefully. Although the teacher looked tired, Lin Yi couldn’t see any fatal scars on his exposed skin, unlike their advisor with those deep strangle marks on his neck. pJ4AI9

The English professor introduced himself after taking attendance. “My surname is Sun, Sun Sheng. I am also your teacher of your next class, Biological Cytology. I will also be in charge of Plant Tissue Culture Technology.”

The students made no comment. There were too many weird things about this school. There was nothing surprising about one teacher taking care of three subjects.

Cheng Yang murmured to Lin Yi in a low voice, “From English to Plant Biology, isn’t that a little extreme?”

While Cheng Yang was muttering, Teacher Sun put away the roster, looked at everyone and said, “Since this is your first class, allow me to say something. I hope you will all take the initiative to keep up with the rhythm of my lecture. I will not stop class to correct your behavior. I think you all clearly know how important your academic performance and conduct is. If you have any questions, please don’t bother me during class. Time is tight, so please do not interrupt the learning progress of the other students. We try to learn as much as possible within a fixed time. You can consult me privately after class if you have any questions about your classwork. Right, let’s not waste time and begin.” isvQzl

At this time, a female classmate raised her hand, “Te-Teacher Sun, we haven’t been granted access to contact you.”

Teacher Sun said, “Go to your advisor and ask him to grant you access. I hope there won’t be any other questions that will delay our class.”

The classroom fell silent.

Lin Yi withdrew his gaze. He followed along with Teacher Sun’s lecture and turned the textbook to the corresponding page. Cheng Yang immediately flipped through his book as well. MBOp8N

He listened to Teacher Sun’s lecture for a while, then looked down at the textbook.

Cheng Yang beside him was dumbfounded; while Lin Yi slightly pursed his lower lip.

Lin Yi could tell that Teacher Sun displayed no skill in his lectures. He basically followed the teaching materials and asked everyone to take notes when he talked about the key points. He himself would spend more time explaining these parts in depth.

He didn’t have any teaching plans for the lesson but he was very clear about the difficult parts and the knowledge points in the textbook. EFY5b6

This gave Lin Yi the vague impression that Teacher Sun seemed to have lectured this many times; he knew the content of the next page even before he turned it. It seemed to be carved into his brain.

But it wasn’t strange for a teacher to have the textbook memorized. Apart from this, Lin Yi didn’t notice anything else about Teacher Sun. After lecturing for a while, he took a quick sip of water to moisten his throat while the students took notes.

Like a normal person.

As Lin Yi observed while listening to the lecture, the first class quickly finished. JUeAcD

Teacher Sun didn’t leave the classroom. Anyway, he would be teaching the next class. Teacher Sun took a sip of water, put down the water glass and said, “There is a 15-minute break between classes. You can ask me in person if you have any questions about the content of the last class.”

Because of how strange Advisor Jiang Tao had been, the other students sat glued to their seats and didn’t move.

Although they did have questions, fortunately it was English. They could make up for it by memorizing.

“No questions?” Teacher Sun didn’t force it and just said, “Do you have questions about your other subjects that you found during your self-study? You can also ask me about those.” JGp9uV

Lin Yi took out a pen, quickly wrote a few words on his book and then raised his hand, “Teacher…”

Teacher Sun walked up to Lin Yi, Lin Yi opened the cell biology textbook. He first squeezed his hands in small movements to relieve tension, then pointed to a certain place in the textbook and asked, “Teacher Sun, why does it say that the behavior of mitochondria is similar to bacteria?”

“The first is because it has its own DNA and transcription-translation system, the second is because the DNA molecule is circular, and the third…”

Teacher Sun’s eyes fell on Lin Yi’s textbook and he suddenly paused. He saw the names Lin Yi had written on the textbook. SVF47o

Lin Zhen, Yuan Yuan.

“The third one is because the ribosome is of the 70S type…the number represents the value of the sedimentation coefficient…” Teacher Sun glanced at Lin Yi, and then asked strangely, “Your name is Lin Yi?”

Lin Yi saw Teacher Sun’s pause and was pleasantly surprised.

He’d just wanted to give it a try. He didn’t actually expect Teacher Sun to know his parents! W2tBy4

But after being pleasantly surprised, Lin Yi saw clearly the weirdness and complexity in Teacher Sun’s eyes. The surprise in his heart was suddenly replaced by nervousness and he nodded uneasily.

Lin Yi didn’t know what Teacher Sun was thinking after he nodded. Then Teacher Sun looked away and continued to answer Lin Yi’s question, “The larger the value, the larger the ribosome. There are three remaining reasons. The starting amino acid for protein synthesis…”

Lin Yi anxiously listened to Teacher Sun finish speaking. Teacher Sun then asked, “Are there any other questions?”

It just so happened that the class bell rang at this time and Teacher Sun said, “You’ll have to ask next time.” jQuJhU

Because there were other people around, Lin Yi had no choice but to hold back his questions. He lowered his eyes. “Yes.”

The second class that Wednesday morning was nearly unbearable but Lin Yi finally made it to the end of class. He asked Cheng Yang to go to the cafeteria by himself. “Cheng Yang Xiong, I still have questions to ask the professor.”

“Oh, okay.” Cheng Yang had to rely on Lin Yi for his studies. If Lin Yi was having academic difficulties, he had to support him to get it answered immediately by the professor. “Lin Yi Xiong, I’ll bring back lunch for you. What do you want to eat?”

Lin Yi responded casually, “Anything is fine.” JErZPF

Leaving this answer behind, Lin Yi hurriedly chased after Teacher Sun; he didn’t even have time to pack away his textbooks.

The bell rang for the end of class and the students all heading to the cafeteria. Going against the flow of the crowd, Lin Yi ran up to Teacher Sun, “Teacher Sun…”

Teacher Sun turned around wasn’t surprised to find that it was Lin Yi.

Before Lin Yi could ask, Teacher Sun asked him first, “How do you know Lin Zhen and Yuan Yuan?” gqBdf

Lin Yi was stunned.

He thought what he’d done was obvious. He wrote his parents’ names on the textbook. His surname was also Lin. Wasn’t that obvious enough?

Teacher Sun said, “The surname’s Lin. Are you Lin Zhen’s… brother? No, this is impossible. It’s been thirty years. Even if his family had another one, his family should have forgotten him long ago.”

Lin Yi: “Wha… what?” FQadfe

Teacher Sun also looked at Lin Yi with the same inexplicable gaze and said, “I remember very clearly. Lin Zhen died just after his 20th birthday. He and I were roommates and so I remember him clearly. But… how could you know Yuan Yuan? Yuan Yuan was my student. I remember her. She was a very smart girl. Although she had been working in the student union, she has never fell behind on her schoolwork. It’s just a pity that… ten years ago she also…”

The more Teacher Sun talked, the more confused he became. He obviously couldn’t understand the situation in front of him.

Why after so many years, was there a person linking together the names of these two people that had nothing to do with each other?

Lin Yi’s mind went blank, and it took him a while to realize what Teacher Sun meant. vDejli

It sounded like the teachers of this university were students before. After the graduated, they had no way to leave.

If Teacher Sun remembered correctly, when Teacher Sun was 20 years old, he and Lin Zhen were roommates. Teacher Sun was fifty years old now and he became Yuan Yuan’s teacher ten years ago.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

In other words, there was a maximum difference of twenty years between his parents.

That’s not even touching on the matter of his father’s death. dcyT7K

Teacher Sun looked at Lin Yi blankly. “Just who are you? How do you know Lin Zhen and Yuan Yuan?”
