Rules-related weird stories: 4016

The elevator was still decelerating, but Tian Bufan suddenly spoke: "Old Lin, feel the elevator."

"Huh?" Lin Yi was stunned, but his body was very honest, already feeling the subtle changes of the decelerating elevator.

When the elevator decelerates, there is a very obvious feeling of weightlessness, like…

"No, wait a minute!" Lin Yi instantly realized the problem, "Weightlessness?!"

Lin Yi suddenly realized something, he glanced at Tian Bufan, only to find that Tian Bufan had already noticed it, and even signaled him to continue with his eyes.

So he took a breath and continued to think along this line of thought.

"The elevator goes from the 14th floor to the 1st floor. Under normal circumstances, when the elevator decelerates downwards, it should generate an upward thrust, but weightlessness… that should be generated when the elevator decelerates from a low place to a high place!"

"But why is it like this now…?"

"We went from the 1st floor to the 14th floor with the elevator constantly accelerating, but now… from the 14th floor to the 1st floor, it's actually constantly accelerating forward?" He expressed his feelings.

The elevator stopped smoothly, and with a "ding" sound, a number popped up on the floor display.

"1".

It was indeed the first floor.

"Clang… clang!"

The elevator door opened, and fresh air with a hint of coolness poured into the elevator, a wonderful feeling of re-establishing contact with the world, returned to everyone.

Walking out of the elevator, Tian Bufan looked at Lin Yi with a smile: "So, what do you think is the possible reason?"

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, looked at the door of the elevator room that was closing again, and hesitated: "Could it be… the entire elevator system is a closed-loop system, and all the elevator cars can only move forward on the track, no matter where they are, they will return to the original point after completing a circle?"

"Just like the ring structure of the dormitory building corridor?"

Tian Bufan smiled without saying a word.

"What's wrong? Am I guessing wrong?" Lin Yi asked.

Tian Bufan smiled: "I'm just guessing myself, how can I give you an answer? I just wanted you to guess along with me."

Lin Yi: "Uh… okay."

Tian Bufan rubbed his chin: "But I feel that this elevator may not be a ring structure, but it must be a closed-loop structure. It may have an independent and special layer that allows it to maintain acceleration, but when it decelerates, it will slowly 'slide' from that layer into reality."

"Ah?"

"Just guessing, we'll verify it when we have the opportunity in the future. Let's go eat breakfast first, we can talk while walking, there's still plenty of time."

At this moment, the elevator room behind them rang again with a "ding" sound, and after the door opened, four experimental students walked out of the elevator.

But these four people were not the people who took the elevator behind Lin Yi and the others on the 14th floor.

Lin Yi and the others retracted their gazes and walked out of the dormitory building towards the entrance along the stairwell passage, and the surrounding figures gradually increased.

Lin Yi looked down at his watch.

6:55.

"It took a total of 8 minutes from leaving the dormitory to taking the elevator down."

The opening time for breakfast in the cafeteria is 5:40～8:00, so they have plenty of time to have breakfast as a group.

Just walking in the stairwell passage of the dormitory building, you can feel the fresh air mixed with the fragrance of soil and flowers outside the building.

Arriving at the exit of the dormitory building, looking down from the steps, you can immediately see a cobblestone road filled with thin morning mist.

The dawn of the morning sun sprinkled down from the cotton-like clouds, sparsely, as if the entire campus was submerged under a shallow sea.

The fog in the open area has dissipated almost completely, but it is still very thick in the green belt.

Lin Yi walked down the steps and looked at the nearest street light pole, only to see that the street light pole was indeed marked with "Dormitory Building - 096", and opposite it was "Dormitory Building - 068". When the layers fell, the normally sequenced "Dormitory Building - 095" and "Dormitory Building - 094" were in very far away places.

After walking a distance along the cobblestone road, Lin Yi suddenly turned his head and glanced at the dormitory building.

The 39-story dormitory building stood tall in the thin mist that distorted the morning light, like a thick pillar propping up the sky, but only the dormitory building that Lin Yi saw in his illusion gave him an indescribable and terrifying sense of oppression, while the current one, and even the dormitory building he saw when he arrived in front of it last night, did not give him that feeling.

On the way to the cafeteria, Lin Yi told the unfinished story about dreaming of Mao Feiyang, and except for Wei Liang, who had self-sealed his hearing and was humming local love songs, basically everyone was informed.

Tian Bufan nodded slightly after hearing this: "It seems that Maozi is all normal."

"No, Young Master Tian, this is just my dream, is it really credible?" Lin Yi hesitated.

Tian Bufan said: "Dreams… are a very magical thing. Since many details are seamless, it may be that you and Maozi have reached a resonance to some extent, and then captured his 'memories'."

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought of the white powder particle pollution chain centered on Mao Feiyang, thinking that it might be because of that pollution chain that he could feel others?

"Maybe… Then Young Master Tian, have you dreamed of anything?"

Tian Bufan avoided talking about this question, and only said vaguely: "I dreamed of some interesting things."

"Wei Sang, Kuai Kuai, what about you?"

"Don't ask us, we didn't sleep well last night because of those troubles."

"Uh…" Lin Yi paused and looked at Wei Liang, "Then Liangzi, what about you?"

When Wei Liang saw that Lin Yi was clearly talking to him, he said: "Aba Aba, Aba Aba…"

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched fiercely, almost forgetting that this guy had sealed his hearing.

Tian Bufan said: "Do you still remember the specific content of the 'Art Building Rules' and the 'Art Student Rules'?"

Lin Yi didn't answer immediately, but tried to sort out his memories in his mind, and then found that the rules he had memorized in his dream were still clearly remembered at this time: "I still remember."

"Then when we go back to the teaching building later, you write it down for me."

"Do you want me to recite it to you?" Lin Yi believed that with Tian Bufan's intelligence, he could almost remember everything he heard.

"It's been too long, let's talk about serious matters on the road, just give it to me at noon after you write it down."

"Okay, I guess."

"Then… Young Master Tian, do you have any thoughts on Maozi's experience?"

"Regarding the experience part, I need to coordinate the details and think carefully, and I will tell you later." Tian Bufan said, "There is not much time left, let's talk about serious matters."

"Okay, but wait a minute, before you talk about the serious matters you want to talk about, I feel that I also have serious matters to talk to you about." Lin Yi suddenly said with a serious face, "Listen to me first, and then I'll listen to you, how about that?"

Tian Bufan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise at Lin Yi's words, but he was not unhappy, but smiled very happily: "Very good, Old Lin, it seems you have the right goal."

Tian Bufan glanced at Wei Liang, who was still covering his ears and humming, seemingly not hearing what he was saying.

Seeing this, Wei Liang instantly became alert: "I seem to hear someone talking bad about me behind my back!"

“If you’re so capable, take off that earpiece and listen to us talk.” Tian Bufan rarely raised his eyebrows, but Wei Liang naturally couldn't hear anything.

“The correct target?” Lin Yi on the other side was stunned for a moment, then continued: “I discovered that Maozi has been severely contaminated, and that source of contamination is spreading from Maozi to several of us.”

“Young Master Tian, I believe our top priority is to find a way to rescue Maozi from the art building first. He is enduring contamination every moment.”

The newest novels are first published on 69shu吧!

“But.” Tian Bufan shook his head, “Putting aside whether taking Maozi out of the art building is necessarily a solution, even if it is a solution, we can't enter the art building through conventional means.”

“Do you remember the paths I told you about last night? Those ‘paths’ I’m looking for.”

Lin Yi recalled slightly and quickly remembered.

Three types of paths: one is the path for traveling back and forth between different buildings within the campus;

The second is the floating path of a single building between different layers;

The third is the transformation path between experience students, sports students, art students, and other ‘identities’ or units within the campus.

“Young Master Tian, you’re right…” Lin Yi suddenly understood Tian Bufan’s meaning, “It’s not enough to just let Maozi return to campus. The Art Student Regulations have a path for returning to campus, but the Art Student Regulations also stipulate that art students cannot stay outside the art building for more than 24 hours.”

“So…” Tian Bufan said, “It’s not this kind of return, but to find a way to transform Maozi from an art student into an experience student and leave the art building. That’s the only way.”

“Listening to you, the Art Student Regulations have a path for traveling between the campus and the art building. I’m very interested in this.”

“However, although you now know the Art Building Regulations and the Art Student Regulations, you must constantly remind yourself that the Art Regulations are just a clue to you, not a constraint. We experience students cannot abide by the Art Student Regulations, so when you consider problems, don’t incorporate irrelevant conditions.”

“In addition, we need to find a path for Maozi to transform from an art student to an experience student, and then, by predicting the timing of his return to campus and the art building, find a way to convey this clue to him.”

Lin Yi nodded: “That’s my initial idea, but the problem is, not to mention how to pass the information to Maozi, as of now, we have limited time and limited scope of action. How can we obtain as many clues as possible?”

“Lao Lin, you’re actually wrong to think that way.” Tian Bufan glanced at the gradually brightening sky, “It’s true that time is limited, but the point that the scope of action is limited may not be the case.”

Lin Yi pondered: “Tell me about it.”

“Remember the schedule?” Tian Bufan said, “During the seven days of the experience, the only classes that are clearly stipulated as mandatory are the three PE classes. All the other classes are self-study.”

Lin Yi immediately understood: “You mean… we use the self-study time to explore the campus?”

Tian Bufan nodded: “That’s what I mean.”

Lin Yi lowered his eyes slightly, thinking for a moment: “If we use the self-study time to explore the campus, the most important thing we need to pay attention to is…”

“Time.” Tian Bufan narrowed his eyes, “But don’t forget, the campus has no shortage of pendulum clocks.”

“As long as you don’t get lost on the roads between buildings and stay in the normal layer where the buildings are located, determining the time is not a problem.”

“And to be honest… I think this is precisely a loophole in the Student Regulations. One of the purposes of self-study may be to allow certain special groups to explore the campus.”

“Special groups?” Lin Yi pondered.

Tian Bufan said: “Teachers, security guards, cooks… and even some other units.”

“The ‘other people’ mentioned in the regulations may not only refer to those non-human units and sculptures, but also to them.”

“It is precisely because they may appear in other buildings that the regulations mention ‘ignoring’ them, because in special circumstances, encountering them or those non-human units represents abnormality.”

“Of course, it seems that we also count now, after all, we have been contaminated, haven’t we?”

Lin Yi nodded slightly: “As for the time issue, it’s actually not difficult to control.”

“There are only a few things on campus that are explicitly mentioned and related to specific times.”

“First, the opening hours of the dormitory elevator are 6:00-7:40 in the morning and 21:00-22:00 in the evening.”

“Second, the time when it is forbidden to leave the classroom is after 21:00 every day.”

“Third, the cafeteria opening hours are 5:40-8:00 in the morning, 10:40-13:20 at noon, and 16:00-20:00 in the evening.”

“And, if there is PE class, you need to leave the classroom half an hour in advance.”

“Among them, try to eat every meal in the cafeteria, and pay attention to weather changes. If you can return to the dormitory, absolutely do not stay in the classroom.”

Tian Bufan said with satisfaction: “Exactly.”

“And we also need to pay attention to one thing, that is, all the content related to emergency situations mentioned in the regulations we currently belong to.”

“The Student Regulations state: [Please pay attention to your health. If you experience discomfort such as dizziness, blurred vision, or nausea during your time on campus, please find the dormitory supervisor or homeroom teacher before spending the night. They will take you to the infirmary, and the school doctor will take you to the school gate. After seeing the blue school bus (note that it is a blue school bus, ignore other colors such as green), get on the school bus immediately, and the driver will take you away from the campus and end your experience.]”

“The Cafeteria Regulations state: [If you accidentally violate the above rules, please leave through the student passage as soon as possible, and then immediately enter the employee passage and ask the blue-aproned employee or security guard for help. You must present your student ID in advance before asking for help. At all times, please absolutely and unconditionally trust the security guard! If you cannot leave the cafeteria after violating the above rules, please go to the convenience store, insist on waiting for the convenience store owner to appear, tell him the problem you encountered, and follow all the arrangements he gives you.]”

“And the gymnasium regulations and the dormitory building are more complicated. Don't use them as exploration targets in the early stages. Moreover, our PE class and dormitory stage overlap, so try to act together at that time.”

Lin Yi said: “You mean, we should explore the teaching building and cafeteria area first? But Maozi entered the art building through the dormitory elevator.”

Tian Bufan shook his head: “Since we are going to explore, let’s treat it as a blank slate and start with places that seem simpler first.”

“Exploring the dormitory building area is too difficult. How can you get fat with just one bite?”
