My Cell Prison-Chapter 2102 - 2099: Night Self-Study Session

[Evening Study]

Since Mr.Teacher himself is associated with shadows and darkness.

Therefore, he places great importance on the evening study conducted at night and has even personally set related regulations for it.

Whenever night falls, all the students in the school will face their most tense moments... However, amidst the danger, opportunities also lie before them.

As freshmen, Han Dong and the others,

have all received a "Rule Book" on evening study between their desks, with contents that are quite fascinating, making even Han Dong’s eyes glisten as he browses through it.

"It’s a pity that Pope isn’t here to experience such an exciting evening study."

The rules for the evening study are as follows:

1. The duration is from 8 PM to midnight, during which no one can leave the school building for any reason or in any way.

Even if an individual has already died, they’ll be collected and dealt with after the evening study ends.

2. Before the evening study begins, all students will receive a "kerosene lamp" for use as lighting during the study, as the lights in the school hallways and classrooms will be turned off, doubling the coverage of the shadows.

3. During this period, an indefinite number of "supervisors" will randomly appear, patrolling various areas of the school building.

Once a supervisor finds a student not diligently studying in the classroom,

or appearing in areas outside the classroom, they will be directly captured and subjected to unspeakably horrific punishment (this punishment may cause irreversible harm to the individual).

4. During the evening study, individuals can choose to read and self-study in the classroom, or they can choose to move freely.

If a student can successfully avoid the supervisors, find a secret passage connecting the school building to the office building (which appears randomly), and reach the principal’s office, they will qualify to become a Shadow Student.

...

The purpose conveyed through the evening study rules is quite clear.

Mr.Teacher intends to use this special rule to select students with exceptional skills in "concealment," proficient in utilizing darkness.

Such selected students will be included in the principal’s special class, not participating in regular classes,

A period later, they will graduate as Shadow Students, their self-awareness returning to their physical bodies in reality, becoming the personal guards of Mr.Teacher.

For example, finding the entrance to the secret passage in Sharnoth was done by a Shadow Student.

’The evening study is even more interesting than I imagined~ It’s incredible that you can freely choose between "self-study" and "adventure," in that case... it will accelerate my plans.’

Upon thinking of this,

Han Dong quickly communicated mentally with Black White and Newton.

’Do you two seniors have any interest?’

Newton immediately waved his hand in refusal, as he was inherently not good at concealment and likewise disliked the dark.

Mr. Black White, however, had the opposite attitude.

’It seems like an interesting challenge, I’ll give it a try.’

’By then, I will leave the classroom with Mr.Teacher, but I have other purposes... I will take this opportunity to stroll through the various areas of the school building.’

Soon,

The janitors began distributing kerosene lamps to each student,

After the faculty and staff had all left the school building,

Ka!

The main switch was turned off,

In an instant, the school building plunged into darkness,

Moreover, as described in the rules, a thin film of shadow quickly enveloped and covered the entire school building, reducing the distance light could shine to its minimum.

In such an environment, the maximum illumination range of a kerosene lamp was less than half a meter and could only be placed at the corner of a desk for self-study lighting.

The students of the "Rocket Class" had no thoughts of going out.

After all,

Evening study occurs every day, and they had seen too many students who tried to explore but never returned.

Of course,

Some of them had also witnessed the horror of the ’supervisors,’ dispelling from within any thoughts of becoming Shadow Students,

Living a quality life on campus, they had no need to take this risk,

the Shadow Student route was more of a choice left for lower and middle-level students.

However.

Ring ring ring!! The urgent bell for evening study rang,

A shadow, without moving them, already stood at the classroom entrance... Although the light couldn’t reveal specific features, one could still glimpse the general outline.

Like a woman as tall as the doorpost,

her long hair and arms hanging down in front,

occasionally making a ’creak creak’~ like the strange noise of mechanical friction, her gaze quickly sweeping over everyone in the classroom.

However,

It was exactly such strange noises,

that made Mr. Newton, who was initially uninterested, smile.

’Nicholas, later I’ll act with you... 81.3% of these ’supervisors’’ bodies are composed of machinery, and they also include mechanical technology unknown to me.

If I can have close contact, perhaps I can modify them.’

’Mr. Newton, it’s not advisable to expose our abilities right now; it’s better to minimize contact with such dangerous entities.’

’Of course, I won’t actively approach, I’ll follow and act with you the whole time,

If we encounter an unavoidable situation, let me try... I’ll attempt to adjust and modify these supervisors using ordinary methods.’

’Alright.’

About five minutes passed,

The ’supervisor,’ not having found anything unusual, disappeared from the classroom entrance.

’Pass me your kerosene lamps, a little modification can help with the upcoming actions.’

In less than thirty seconds,

A simple portable kerosene flashlight was distributed into the hands of Han Dong and Black White,

This flashlight can freely switch on and off,

and can also manually adjust to compress the light source. In the current environment of the school building, its effective range is three meters... this is a good thing for everyone who temporarily can’t use their powers to detect danger.

"Let’s go!"

The three of them moved together,

Though the other students in the class looked shocked, when they wanted to express emotion, they could only show a strange smile.

Three beams of light shot out from the classroom door to the sides, and without illuminating any object, the three quickly left.

Mr. Black White went alone to the left, seeking the hidden passage to the school building.

Han Dong and Mr. Newton went to the right, intending to first reach the top floor via the nearest hallway....

Who knew.

Han Dong had just ascended three floors.

Tap~ tap~ tap

Suddenly hearing a series of soft, fragmented footsteps, forcing him to stop.

At that moment, Newton’s thick palm gently landed on his shoulder.

’No mechanical sounds, and the footsteps are light and disorderly... it’s likely other students who went out.’

Indeed,

A large group of thin, gaunt students did their best to lower their voices as they went downstairs.

There were as many as twenty of them, all from the same class... due to poor grades, they had almost lost the will to survive and decided to take a chance that night.

Maybe someone will be lucky enough to qualify to become a Shadow Student, completely changing the rest of their lives. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Moreover, each of them held a self-made dagger.

Not to fight against the supervisors,

but in the event of being captured by a supervisor, to slit their throats immediately and commit suicide... to avoid inhumane torture.

Newton transmitted, ’Nicholas, this group is making too much noise, which might easily attract the supervisors. Let’s quickly head up and distance ourselves from them.’

Who knew,

Han Dong, however, bit his nail and made a crucial decision.

’Mr. Newton, didn’t you want to study the supervisors? I have an idea that can prevent direct capture, but also allow you to observe and even contact the supervisors closely.’

’Hmm? That’s not what you said in the classroom.’

’People can change... Besides, I didn’t expect there would be so many fools willing to die here, not to take advantage of them would be such a waste.’

As he communicated mentally,

Han Dong had already turned back, blending into the midst of these almost certainly doomed students.
