Beep—! Beep—!
[091]
Typing the codes on the side of the wall, the door of the office slowly started to open.
"Hmmm..."
With my eyes locked on the side of the door, my brows slowly started to squint.
'This number...'
There was something about the number that made me alert. Turning around and looking at the empty corridors of the classroom, I slowly entered the room.
Upon entering the room, my eyes locked on the professor's desk. Without further ado, I walked up to it and placed the folder he had given me on his desk.
"Haaa..."
Right as I placed the folder on his desk, glancing around the place, I let out a long breath as I thought about the state of the room the first time I came here.
Compared to the first time that I was here, it was now a lot cleaner.
Just recalling the state it was in and how many hours I had spent cleaning the place made me shake my head. It was quite frankly terrible.
"Anyhow..."
Turning my head, my eyes once again locked in the direction of the door.
'That number...'
There was definitely something about that number that made me apprehensive. Closing my eyes, I proceeded to use the chip inside my head to jump-start my memories.
They could potentially be just random numbers, however, it was never wrong to double-check.
"Ugh."
At the exact moment the chip activated, I felt a slight tingle in my brain.
'091...091...091...'
Instantly, upon activating the chip, my thoughts became a lot clearer as I started to look through all my memories in hopes of finding just where I had heard the number before.
It wasn't long before I finally figured it out, and when I did, my eyes snapped open.
"Ah! 091! I know who he is!"
Clank—!
It was then that at the exact moment I figured everything out that the door suddenly opened and a figure walked in. His deep voice echoed throughout the whole room.
"...So you've figured things out."
My head immediately snapped in the direction of the person who had come in. He was none other than Professor Thomas. My eyes instantly turned into slits.
Turning around, he closed the door behind him.
Gazing at him, I slowly opened my mouth.
"Professor, didn't you previously say that you wouldn't be coming back?"
"I did."
Professor Thomas nodded his head before slowly walking toward his desk. As he walked, I took a step to the side and allowed him to seat on his chair.
He had the same carefree look as he always had.
