The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd! Chapter 384 Waiting for Death

384 Waiting for Death

Shan Yue reached for her phone and called Lin Xiao to ask why he had suddenly left and why he had left her a note.

“h.e.l.lo, I’m the phone administrator here. Do you want to use your phone?” Suddenly, a voice behind her stopped her.

Shan Yue nodded slightly. “That’s right. I want to call my cla.s.smates.”

“Then please tell me your faculty and name. Our compet.i.tion has a hard rule. Once the partic.i.p.ating students use their phones, they have to register. After registering, you can take back your phone. Of course, you will also lose your qualifications to partic.i.p.ate.”

After knowing the rules, Shan Yue took the registration board from the administrator’s hand. Lin Xiao’s name was clearly written on it. The registration time was probably when he went to the toilet.

This meant that Lin Xiao had already left the venue. More importantly, he had given up his qualifications for the finals.

Shan Yue was confused by what had happened. She returned the registration board to the administrator, thanked him, and returned to the empty lounge. She sat alone on the bench and thought about all of this. Three minutes pa.s.sed, but Shan Yue still could not figure out why Lin Xiao had taken the initiative to give up his right to compete.

This way, the Capital University, which was already lagging behind, would lose the last subject.

At this point, the outcome of the compet.i.tion became even more confusing.

Just as Shan Yue was still thinking, a cheer came from the venue. Shan Yue guessed that Luo Xing had won the chemistry team compet.i.tion. From the looks of it, there was not much time left. There were still two matches in the middle before it was the Mathematics team’s turn.

At this moment, Shan Yue could only return to the venue first and think of other ways. As the time of the math compet.i.tion approached, the people in the venue began to notice Lin Xiao’s disappearance.

When this news spread, everyone instantly became leaderless. They did not know what to do and kept discussing in the crowd.

“It’s almost time for the compet.i.tion. Why isn’t Senior Lin Xiao missing?”

“Without Senior Lin, who can compare to Ruo Ting from Ruoshui University?”

“It’s over. Don’t tell me we’re going to lose this time. Then, the t.i.tle of the number one university will be given to others.”

The atmosphere that was originally happy about the victory of the chemistry team instantly turned into disappointment because of Lin Xiao’s disappearance.

The teachers were not idle either. All the people who had finished the compet.i.tion went to every corner of the venue to look for Lin Xiao. They even knocked on all the doors of the toilet, but they could not find any traces.

The teacher-in-charge of the math team stopped waiting for death. She asked the other students to continue searching while she found the deputy team leader of the math team.

“No matter the reason for Lin Xiao’s sudden disappearance, we can’t give up the last match just like that. As the deputy team leader, if you still can’t find Lin Xiao when it’s time for the compet.i.tion, you have the responsibility to shoulder this burden and replace him in the compet.i.tion.”

“But my ability and knowledge are far inferior to Senior Brother Lin Xiao. Only Senior Brother can defeat Ruo Ting. Even if I go up, I will definitely lose…” The deputy team leader said.

“I know your concerns, but you have to remember that you’re here today to represent the Capital University. We’d rather lose standing than forfeit in the most important compet.i.tion.”

The teacher patted his shoulder to encourage him. “Just focus on the compet.i.tion and do your best. No matter what the outcome is, no one will blame you.”

After some thought, the deputy team leader was ready to go on stage.

This was the first time he had stood on the stage of the finals on behalf of Lin Xiao. It was inevitable that he would be nervous. He encouraged himself over and over again, trying to make his thoughts active and try not to lose so badly.

After a while, everyone who had been sent out to look for Lin Xiao returned. Not to mention his figure, even Lin Xiao’s belongings in the lounge had disappeared.

There was obvious anger in the teacher’s eyes. “What’s wrong with Lin Xiao? This has never happened before. As the team leader, he actually disappeared before the compet.i.tion. After the compet.i.tion, I must find him and ask him in person.”
