Chapter 138
Qin Zhou has already reread the review meeting minutes of the 4-4 Rule World many times.
Lin Yi hadn’t participated in the 4-4 Rule World review meeting and most of the contents for the minutes were based on Qin Zhou’s recounting of events.
Qin Zhou stared closely at the sheet of paper in his hand.
At the 4-4 Rule World review meeting, Qin Zhou had lied.
Qin Zhou hadn’t been completely truthful as to how they had found the true time rewind from the scripted time loop, only vaguely mentioning that they had discovered the clue through the absence of Cen Qian’s father.
In fact, only Qin Zhou knew that the actual chain of logic was that Lin Yi discovered that the sub-personality might be possessed by the 4-4 Monster and thus went to a time rewind to confirm his suspicion. Afterwards, he also opened the true memories and thus discovered the events of the 4-4 Monster’s life.
The main plot had been told by the 4-4 Monster itself.
Had he admitted to this, the other meeting attendees would have shown incredulous expressions.
The reason was simple. If the 4-4 Monster wanted the participants to leave so desperately, why even bother pulling them into the Rule World in the first place?
In fact, from the beginning, Qin Zhou had determined that the reason why the 4-4 Monster wanted the participants to leave was to prevent them from discovering something.
It was just that the secret of Lin Yi’s sub-personality makes him temporarily unable to think about what the 4-4 Monster might have been hiding.
Now that Lin Yi had gone to the 8-4 Rule World, Qin Zhou could look back and spot several suspicious points that he could not ignore.
The 170cm Shunxu is Yuan Yuan. He had personally verified this answer.
However, the scripted loop’s time rewinds obviously revolved around their group of participants. Why did Yuan Yuan, who disappeared ten years ago, appear in their time rewind?
It was hard for Qin Zhou not to think that the secret that the 4-4 Monster wanted so badly to hide was related to Yuan Yuan. After all, Yuan Yuan’s disappearance was related to the 4-4 Rule.
With this in mind, Qin Zhou realized that when he first mentioned the name ‘Yuan Yuan’, Lin Yi’s reaction seemed a little wrong. Even if Lin Yi’s sub-personality had been selected by the 4-4 Monster, he shouldn’t have shown such a surprised expression.
Not to mention that at that time, Lin Yi’s main personality had obviously been the one in control.
Moreover, when he’d gone to that time rewind the last time to verify whether Yuan Yuan had led Zhou Qi to violate the Rules of Death, Lin Yi hadn’t shown up.
But Lin Yi had clearly fallen asleep before he did. And he was also holding the press release that triggered the time rewind to that period of time. Logically speaking, Lin Yi should have arrived before he had, unless Lin Yi was only pretending to sleep.
Qin Zhou fell silent.
The memories in his mind, one by one, all went back to Lin Yi. Each fragment said that Lin Yi had come here with a purpose and so even more questions arose.
The Unnatural Engineering University is isolated from the world; people in the real world will gradually forget about them. Unless they are selected by the Unnatural Engineering University, no one could know in advance about this Monster riddled university.

Qin Zhou gave an ‘en’ and stopped fiddling with the cigarette. “Do we have any new ones left?”
“The Student Union made a group purchase the last time. We should still have a few left.”
“Set the best one aside for me. I’ll transfer the payment to you.”
“OK.”
“I remember that something else was sent to you along with the phone?” Qin Zhou asked.
“Yes.” The other person said, “There was also an MP4 Player.”
Qin Zhou asked, “An MP4 Player?”
Not a lot of people use MP4 players nowadays days and the Unnatural Engineering University might not have any to sell to students. He asked, “Were you able to repair it?”
“The MP4 Player’s fine, but…”
Just as the other person was about to say something, Qin Zhou suddenly heard a familiar voice.
“Xue Zhang.”
Qin Zhou instantly felt a lot more relaxed. Although he had been in the Student Union’s archives room, he had also been paying attention to the situation in the 8-4 Rule World. Someone died within the first hour that Lin Yi and his group entered the Rule World. And a second died in the third hour. Because the two deaths occurred not long after the other, the Student Union immediately re-evaluated the danger of the 8-4 Rule.
Now that he’s heard Lin Yi’s voice, he felt relieved. As expected of the little genius. It was no big deal if he didn’t go with him to the Rule World; he managed to safely and smoothly leave the Rule World regardless.
Qin Zhou casually picked up a copy of the campus rulebook and turned to page eight.
8-4 Rule: No rule.
It seemed that the 8-4 Monster has been killed.
Qin Zhou didn’t speak or hang up the phone. He listened to Lin Yi’s voice through the phone in his hand.
“This MP4 player is mine.”
“Oh, en, I know.”
“Can I have it back?”
“……Sure, sure.”
“Thank you.”
“Oh, right.”
“What is it?”
“Your new phone. Your old one broke and it can’t be repaired.”
“Okay, how much does it cost?”
“There’s no need to pay.”
“No need to pay?”
“It isn’t free but Zhou Ge asked me to give it to you. Zhou Ge already paid for it.”
Qin Zhou pulled out his chair and sat down. He put his phone on speakerphone and placed it on the table, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the table’s surface.”
Lin Yi was momentarily stunned, probably because he didn’t expect that he would give him a new mobile phone.
Qin Zhou stared at the phone screen, waiting for Lin Yi’s reaction.
Then Lin Yi said “Oh”: “Xue Zhang, how much does the mobile phone cost?”
“About 5,000.”
“5000?!”
Imagining Lin Yi’s expression, the corners of Qin Zhou lips rose up.
“En, and here’s your phone card. Put it in. After turning on the phone, follow the system prompts to activate it. Once activated, you can use it normally on campus.”
“Oh, okay.” Lin Yi said, “Thank you, Xue Zhang.”
“You’re welcome.”
“After a while,” the voice on the other end of the phone rang came back, “Zhou Ge, I’ve given him the new phone and the MP4 player.”
“Yeah, I heard.” Qin Zhou said, “What were you saying about MP4 Player just now?”
“The MP4 Player plays music just fine but there’s some noise in the recorded audio. I’ve never learned to repair MP4 Players, so I don’t know what’s the matter.”
“Got it.” Qin Zhou said, “Next month, when the Student Union starts accepting purchase requests, get an MP4 Player for me.”
“……Alright.”
“I’m hanging up.”
Qin Zhou hung up the phone. Lin Yi had just come out of the 8-4 Rule World and now he had a new mobile phone. He was waiting for Lin Yi to contact him.
Sure enough, the phone rang.
Qin Zhou picked up the phone excitedly. After seeing the caller ID on the screen, the corners of his mouth flattened.
“President Qin.” Ren Li said, “We…”
“I know, I’m hanging up.”
Ren Li “…”
Qin Zhou continued to wait for the call. When the phone rang again, he glanced at the screen.
“What’s the matter?”
“Zhou Ge,” Ou Ying said, “Lin Yi has come out of the 8-4 Rule World. I remembered that his phone was broken.”
“En, I’m hanging up.”
“Wait a minute.” Ou Ying asked, “When is the review meeting for the 8-4 Rule World?”
Qin Zhou looked at the time and said, “In half an hour. Room 101. I’m hanging up.”
Ou Ying: “And the attendees…?”
Qin Zhou interrupted, “I’ll leave it up to you. I’m hanging up.”
Ou Ying: “…”
When his phone rang for the third time, Qin Zhou didn’t answer it immediately. He picked up the phone and walked to the window to make sure the signal was stable.
“Senior——”
“Hm?”
Hanging up hanging up 😂 I hope their misunderstanding doesn’t build up too much
