Chapter 62 Insight into Desire: Instructor Su Wants Her Feet Warmed
"Everyone, the second rule of the classroom..." Wasim reminded in a low voice, "The textbook!"
One sentence awakened everyone.
Everyone immediately and frantically opened the "Introduction to Abnormal Cognition" textbook they had brought and began to examine it carefully.
For a moment, the only sound in the classroom was the rustling of pages turning.
"I...my book..." A faint voice, trembling with sobs, rang out; it was Amy, the chosen one from Maple Leaf Country.
Her face was deathly pale, and her finger trembled as she pointed at her open textbook.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that on the page she had turned to, near the center crease, there was a dark yellow stain.
The edges of the stain blurred with rough marks, and upon closer inspection, the texture faintly formed the outline of a distorted, pained human face!
What's even more chilling is that the stain seems to have seeped out from inside the paper, carrying an indescribable, pungent odor similar to formaldehyde mixed with old dust.
Amy rubbed the stain hard with an eraser in a panic, but instead of disappearing, the stain spread out at the edges and became even darker.
Classroom Rule 2:
Please ensure your textbook is complete and clean.
If you find any missing pages or indelible stains, please collect a spare page from the podium before class to replace them.
"Quick! Go to the podium and change according to the rules!" Evelyn shouted urgently, instantly snapping Amy out of her daze.
She seemed to wake from a dream, almost leaping out of her seat and stumbling towards the podium.
Su Wan stood there quietly, watching her approach, her face expressionless.
"Instructor Su," Amy tried to keep her voice steady, "my textbook has an indelible stain, and according to classroom rules, I need to get a spare page to replace it."
Su Wan nodded: "Okay."
As she spoke, she took out three identical kraft paper document bags from the lectern drawer and placed them neatly side by side on the lectern.
Each document bag was sealed and had no markings on the outside.
"Of these three file folders," Su Wan said, her fingertip tracing the three envelopes one by one, "only one contains clean pages that you can safely replace."
"If you select this option, the replacement will be completed automatically."
Her tone suddenly turned cold, carrying an undeniable cruelty:
"But if you choose the wrong one... you need to go to the department head's office in person and have a 'good talk' with him to explain why your teaching materials have 'unwarranted contamination'."
[College Rule 3: Within the college, please only enter offices marked with blue background and white lettering. All offices marked with red background and white lettering are restricted areas; approaching, peeping, or entering is strictly prohibited.]
When they passed the third floor yesterday, they clearly remembered the sign for the "Department Head's Office," which was a striking red background with white lettering!
Going there would be like throwing lambs to the slaughter!
Amy's face instantly turned from white to pale. Looking at the three file folders that seemed to hold the weight of life-or-death decisions, her voice became hoarse:
"Can...can I not choose? I...I don't want to change it..."
Su Wan shook her head regretfully: "Once the application is submitted, the process must be completed."
"Moreover, the rules have already been activated. If you refuse to choose, the consequences of the pollution will directly affect you within minutes."
"I suggest you... take a gamble."
An invisible pressure enveloped Amy, and also every student below the stage who held their breath in suspense.
This is a gamble based entirely on luck, with no logic or clues whatsoever.
Choose right and you'll escape disaster; choose wrong and you'll be doomed!
Amy swallowed hard, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the three envelopes. Finally, she steeled herself, closed her eyes, and her trembling finger pointed to the middle envelope—
"I choose this one!"
Su Wan picked up the envelope in the middle, opened it gracefully, and pulled out a clean piece of paper.
A hint of relief appeared on her face: "Congratulations, you made the right choice."
"Hoo—" Amy seemed to have all her strength drained away, letting out a long breath of stale air, and almost collapsed to the ground.
"Go back to your seats," Su Wan gestured. "The contaminated page has been automatically replaced."
Amy staggered back to her seat and hurriedly opened her textbook.
Sure enough, the unsettling stain had disappeared, replaced by a clean page.
Just then, the crisp sound of the school bell echoed through the corridor.
Su Wan slowly straightened up on the podium, her gaze calmly sweeping over every face below the stage that still bore the look of shock.
"Welcome, everyone, into the field of 'Introduction to Abnormal Cognition'."
"Here, you will not learn the answers, but the questions themselves—questions that are enough to tear apart all your past common sense and make you re-examine the world... and yourself."
"Remember, knowledge is never gentle; every instance of understanding can be a permanent erosion of one's self-awareness..."
Taking advantage of the instant Su Wan's gaze shifted from him to the other side, Lin Feng immediately silently recited in his mind:
"Activate, insight into desire!"
An invisible ripple of perception spread rapidly, penetrating the teacher's elegant and composed exterior and reaching the core of her desire.
A line of information quickly appeared in Lin Feng's mind:
[Current strongest desire: To press those perpetually cold feet against the abs of a handsome human man and draw real warmth. (Desire intensity: 94%)]
Lin Feng: "..."
Okay, I'm used to it now.
These high-profile women have bizarre and practical preferences, each one more unique than the last.
It seems I need to find a suitable time, to create a "natural" yet appropriate opportunity, to satisfy Instructor Su's...
Yes, there's a special need for heating.
About twenty minutes into the lesson, Aple, who was sitting in front of Lin Feng, suddenly stiffened—
The words in his textbook began to slowly wriggle like maggots.
[Classroom Rule 3: If you notice the words in your textbook are moving, please immediately ask to go to the restroom to wash your eyes.]
He stared intently at the distorted characters, his heart pounding wildly.
Rules... rules must be followed!
His strong will to survive finally overcame his fear, and he raised his hand with trembling hands.
Su Wan's gaze fell on him, her calm and unwavering eyes seemingly having seen through everything.
"Apu, what's the matter?"
"Teacher... the words in my book..." Aple's voice trembled with fear, "They're moving... I want to go to the bathroom to wash my eyes, is that alright?"
Su Wan nodded slightly, her tone calm yet meaningful: "Go ahead, be careful."
As if granted a pardon, Apule staggered out of the classroom, his hurried footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.
With a clear goal in mind, he headed straight for the end of the corridor. In his haste, he caught a glimpse of a male silhouette sign above the door and rushed inside.
Completely oblivious to the red-and-white character for "male"...
