Chapter 64 Class Dismissed!
Chapter 64 Class Dismissed!
Lin Feng continued his reply:
"For example, in the intersection of biology and sociology, when two '1's representing individuals of different genders—a man and a woman…"
"...When they combine deeply, the final result is not just the simple addition of two individuals, but may give birth to a completely new, third life."
"So in this creative process, the result of 1 plus 1 becomes 3."
The moment the words fell, Lin Feng clearly saw that the thin blush on Su Wan's face suddenly spread, quickly reaching her fair ears and turning her delicate earlobes into an alluring crimson.

Studio:
"Good heavens! What am I seeing?! Instructor Su has turned into a little red figure?!"
"Wait, what exactly happened in her mind just now? That reaction is so realistic!"
"Lin Feng, you really dare to say that! You've practically fried Instructor Su's CPU!"
"This reaction... has she never experienced anything like this before? The 'pure-hearted devil' persona is quite appealing!"
"I'd guess the person she's imagining is Lin Feng! After all, she personally 'inspected' him when he was shirtless before, so his quality is definitely guaranteed!"
"Brother Feng! This is an opportunity! Strike while the iron is hot, and after class, arrange for Instructor Su to give you some 'in-depth guidance'!"
"About my advisor's attack on me because of a math problem"
"(Slams table) I'm shipping this couple! The weird rules are fake, but Lin Feng, you really know how to flirt with the counselor!"
........................
Lin Feng continued to introduce the answer to the third level:
"In the collision of certain extremely opposing philosophical concepts, such as 'existence' and 'non-existence,' or when two completely contradictory rules erode each other, their 'addition' may lead to complete annihilation and return to nothingness."
"So at this point, 1+1 equals 0."
"Furthermore, if these two '1's' represent two kinds of 'cognitive memes' or 'information viruses' that can self-replicate and spread exponentially, when they are introduced into a suitable environment for propagation and interact with each other, the resulting impact and subsequent evolution will be immeasurable."
"From a consequentialist perspective, 1+1 might equal infinity."
He concluded by saying:
So, back to the original question: what does 1 plus 1 equal?
"I don't think there's a single, definitive answer."
"Its outcome depends entirely on how we define the essence of '1' and the specific dimensions, context, and rule system in which the operation of 'addition' occurs."
"In the realm of anomalous cognition, the answers themselves may be diverse and uncertain."
After answering, Lin Feng sat there, quietly awaiting Su Wan's judgment.
The entire classroom was completely silent. Everyone held their breath, nervously watching Lin Feng, and then secretly glancing at Su Wan on the podium.
One second, two seconds... nothing happened.
"Clear logic and well-organized structure." The blush on Su Wan's face had faded, replaced by a pure, approving scrutiny.
"You've escaped the trap of predictable answers and accurately grasped the core of 'abnormal cognition'—questioning and transcending all established frameworks. This answer truly captures the essence."
[Ding! Su Wan's favorability +5]
Current favorability rating: 40/100
His pupils flickered almost imperceptibly—good heavens, this can increase favorability?!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and admired Lin Feng's courage and reasoning ability.
The following lessons drew to a close in an increasingly eerie and somber atmosphere.
Before the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class, Su Wan began assigning homework.
That's all for today's lesson. Homework is—
"Based on the 'first principle of cognitive distortion,' analyze an 'abnormal phenomenon' that you have personally experienced or are convinced of exists (this could be a folk legend, a supernatural event, or even an inexplicable dream), and write an analytical report of no less than 2000 words."
"Describe how this phenomenon challenges conventional understanding, and what defense mechanisms you think individuals or society may have used to cope with it."
A suppressed wail immediately rose from the audience.
It wasn't just because of the difficulty of the assignment itself, but also because of what Su Wan said next.
"This assignment requires some supporting materials and a quiet environment," Su Wan added. "I suggest everyone go to the library to find relevant information to complete it. Submit it to my office before class tomorrow."
library!
These three words struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
Given the nature of this eerie school, every new location implies a set of unknown and deadly rules.
This was almost a death proclamation—what awaited them was another unpredictable test of life and death.
Just then, the crisp sound of the school bell rang: "Ding-a-ling—"
As soon as the bell rang, several impatient chosen ones instinctively got up to pack their things and prepare to leave. After a highly stressful class, they just wanted to escape the classroom as quickly as possible.
"Wait!" Lin Feng's deep and urgent voice stopped them.
He looked sharply at the podium.
Rule 5: When class ends, the teacher will say "get out of class dismissed." You may leave only after you hear this.
Su Wan didn't say the words "get out of class dismissed" just now!
She simply assigned the homework, and then the bell rang.
Those who had stood up froze in mid-air, their faces turning deathly pale.
Su Wan seemed oblivious to the slight commotion below the stage. She calmly tidied up her lesson plan on the podium, picked it up, and walked out of the classroom, disappearing into the corridor.
The remaining students in the classroom stared at each other, wide-eyed, too afraid to move.
The air seemed to freeze; the brief relaxation brought by the school bell was gone, replaced by a deeper fear and the agony of waiting.
About a minute later, the footsteps returned.
Su Wan reappeared at the doorway. She looked at the frozen crowd in the classroom, a faint, almost imperceptible smile flickering across her face.
Then he spoke in a clear voice:
"get out of class dismissed."
These two words were like a pardon; almost everyone slumped into their seats at the same time, letting out a long sigh of relief.
No one dared to complain; they quickly packed their things and hurriedly left classroom 204.
In the corridor, the old light bulbs hissed softly, and the dim yellow light lingered in the air. Instead of bringing a sense of security, it stained the walls with a sickly hue.
Not long after everyone left the classroom, Wasim suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He stared intently at the ground beneath Lin Feng and Evelyn's feet, his pupils suddenly contracting.
He grabbed Lin Feng's arm, his hand trembling noticeably:
"Lin...Lin Feng, Evelyn! Look...look at your shadows!"
