Rules-related weird stories: 4016

On the other side, Lin Yi walked along the mountain road lined with camphor trees, turning several times before arriving at the front of the employee entrance.

"Alright, not losing anything, standing here is enough." Tian Bufan grabbed Lin Yi's shoulder, signaling him not to go any further, "The employee entrance really has something going on, just coming here makes me feel uneasy."

Lin Yi deeply agreed: "I feel it too, and I don't know what's in the basement of the cafeteria, but I always feel a terrifying aura emanating from the employee entrance."

"You can even sense that?" Tian Bufan joked with a smile, "Rumor has it that some animals can use their instincts to sense danger and avoid impending crises. I think you're almost one of them."

Lin Yi helplessly curled his lips: "I'm serious."

"I'm serious too," Tian Bufan said, his gaze falling on Wei Shan, the smile slowly disappearing from the corner of his mouth, "Looks like something's really wrong."

Wei Shan in front quickly walked to the trash can, but suddenly stopped, as if attracted by something.

Originally, he was ready to throw out his jacket, but at a certain moment, he seemed to freeze, from their perspective, it looked like Wei Shan was about to throw something out but was suddenly acupunctured.

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, as someone who had been through it, he instantly understood the predicament Wei Shan was facing, this situation was exactly the same as what he encountered at noon yesterday!

"Not good, Wei Shan isn't not throwing it, but can't throw it! I'll go help him!"

"Lao Lin!" Tian Bufan wanted to call out to Lin Yi, but Lin Yi had already rushed over.

"Don't worry, I have experience!" Lin Yi's voice came from the front, "Don't come over yet."

"You don't come over either!" At this moment, Wei Shan suddenly burst out with an angry roar, almost causing Lin Yi to stumble and retire on the spot.

Lin Yi forcibly braked, and then realized that Wei Shan's situation was completely different from what he expected.

Wei Shan did maintain a motionless posture, but his body was trembling slightly, but that trembling was not fear at all, but… excitement.

"Heh heh heh…" Wei Shan's slightly chubby body arched slightly, all the muscles in his body tensed up, he stared intently at the dark area deep inside the employee entrance where almost no light came out, his eyes flashing with an extraordinary excitement.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

The veins on his forehead bulged, his breathing became heavier, his breathing turned into a "Heh heh heh" sound, but between his teeth, he repeatedly muttered the same words:

"Interesting, interesting…"

"Heh heh heh…"

Looking at Wei Shan's appearance, Lin Yi was suddenly shocked, in a daze, he actually saw streaks of white gas around Wei Shan, as if a vortex was formed with Wei Shan as the center!

He blinked hard, and then found that the white gas flickered in front of his eyes like skipping frames, sometimes there and sometimes not.

「Is ‘Sensing’?！」

He realized that it wasn't something he saw, but a scene that appeared in his 「Sensing」!

So he took a deep breath, and while Wei Shan hadn't taken any action, he tried to sense the white gas around Wei Shan.

Immediately afterwards, he "observed" the white gas through 「Sensing」.

It turned out that it wasn't white gas at all, but a large amount of dense white powder particles!

Just like Mao Feiyang frantically absorbing white powder particles when he was comprehending his artistic journey in the art classroom, at this moment, Wei Shan was also absorbing white powder particles in a terrifying way.

What's even more outrageous is that these white powder particles surrounded Wei Shan, and seemed to float out a faint, illusory sky-blue color through Wei Shan's breathing…

「This… What the hell…?！」

And what's even more incomprehensible is that, in a daze, Lin Yi actually saw a blurry outline when the blue and white colors alternated, that outline shrouded Wei Shan like a Dharma idol in Chinese legends, and the iron tower-like lines made it look like a security guard breaking through the waves in thick fog.

「A shadow of the security guard…?」

「Are you kidding me？！」

Under Lin Yi's shocked gaze, Wei Shan let out a low and excited laugh, walked step by step to the trash can, and then reached out and put his jacket directly above the trash can.

As soon as he let go, the jacket naturally fell into the trash can, then he turned around smartly and left the employee entrance with a cool and arrogant gait that a real man never looks back at an explosion, and returned to Lin Yi's side.

"Let's go, Lao Lin."

Wei Shan patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, calling him back from his shocked state.

「Huff…」

The breeze brushed the treetops of the camphor trees, the leaves rustled, bringing the fresh floral fragrance of the morning and the earthy smell of the mountains, rushing into Lin Yi's nose, making him suddenly wake up.

"Ah… Uh? Uh… Okay." Lin Yi nodded woodenly, shook his head and looked at Wei Shan again, then returned along the same route and came to the bulletin board in front of the cafeteria.

But this time on the way, no matter how hard he tried to 「Sense」, he could no longer observe the white powder particles on Wei Shan, let alone the powder particles with a faint sky-blue luster.

"Lao Lin, why the hell is your face so bad? If you want to shit, don't hold it in!" Wei Liang looked at Lin Yi, who was holding his breath and trying to sense, and couldn't help but give a friendly reminder.

"Get lost, get lost…" Lin Yi covered his forehead speechlessly.

… …

May 8, 2023, 8:03 AM, on the cobblestone road leading to the teaching building.

Tian Bufan suddenly looked at the three teaching buildings in front and stopped.

"That's about it, let's separate here, see you at noon or in the afternoon."

"Ah? Not going together?" Lin Yi asked in confusion, "I remember you're in Building C? I'm in Building B, isn't there just a connecting bridge in the middle?"

Tian Bufan shook his head with a smile that was not a smile: "Lao Lin, don't limit your thinking. There are so many problems in this campus, how can you be sure that the connecting bridge is normal?"

Tian Bufan's words startled Lin Yi, and he couldn't help but gasp: "Hiss… Now that you say that, does even the connecting bridge have problems?"

"It's not 'also has problems', but when you're not sure there are no problems, it's always right to be cautious." Tian Bufan shook his head and said, "I don't know if the connecting bridge has problems, but we don't need to face the connecting bridge yet."

"It's best if we each explore a single teaching building first, and then see if they're the same, and then have a chance to test the rules of the connecting bridge."

"Isn't there also a mysterious and unknown Building D? That's clearly a problem, but right now we first need to determine if the mechanisms or underlying logic of Buildings A, B, and C are the same."

Lin Yi pondered, then nodded.

"Let's set the meeting time for lunch before 11:30 AM, at that area between the student passage and the student cafeteria."

"And for the evening, before 6:30 PM."

"If you don't see me before these times, just go eat and then leave, and we'll meet again at the dorm in the evening."

"Alright, I'm leaving first. Remember to find time to write out the 'Art Department' rules from memory and give them to me next time we meet." Tian Bufan waved goodbye to Lin Yi and walked towards the branch of the cobblestone path leading to Building C.

After Tian Bufan left, only Wei Shan and Wei Liang remained with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi realized that Wei Shan's classroom was Class 3 of Group B, and Class 3 of Group B... wouldn't that be next door to their class?

"Oh, right..." Lin Yi suddenly paused, "Wei Shan, your classroom is next to mine?"

Wei Shan nodded: "Yes, I'm in Class 3 of Group B."

"Wait, wait, you guys!" Wei Liang scratched his head, his gaze shifting back and forth between Lin Yi and Wei Shan in confusion, "Lao Lin, how do you know what class they're in? I don't remember you guys mentioning that."

Lin Yi asked in surprise: "Huh, you didn't happen to overhear our entire conversation, did you?"

"No... I only eavesdropped a little... no, I didn't hear anything, oh, right, right, right... I almost forgot you guys exchanged information when I couldn't hear." Wei Liang wore an expression of 'believe it or not, I already believe it,' "Never mind that, never mind that! Should we go back to the classroom?"

"Let's go back." Lin Yi nodded.

The three of them walked together and soon arrived at the steps of Teaching Building A.

The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Wen Xue Ba!

Wei Shan said: "Lao Lin, I'm leaving too."

"Okay." Lin Yi nodded.

Seeing Wei Shan leave as well, Lin Yi didn't walk up the steps but instead searched for moss on the steps, then looked at it.

Yesterday around 1:20 PM, he had a visual interaction and crossing with Mao Feiyang through the moss, but now he didn't feel that way.

He looked at the teaching building again, only to see that the fourth floor of the teaching building was capped, perfectly normal.

"Lao Lin, what are you staring at on the steps?" Wei Liang said speechlessly, "Do you know what you looked like just now?"

"Like what?"

"Like you were 'raising your head to gaze at the bright moon, lowering your head to contemplate your feet.'"

Lin Yi's lips twitched: "What 'jiao jiao' nonsense?"

"Not 'jiao jiao', but 'jio jio'." When Wei Liang said the words 'jio jio', his lips curled up, his face was lewd, and his expression was very similar to Kizaru's clocking out from work in a certain shonen manga, and he made a "jiojio" sound, revealing a detective-like gaze, "You were looking down at your shoes just now, right?"

"No."

"Yes, you were. Could you have been looking at moss?" Wei Liang said disdainfully, "Don't think I don't know you, kid. You're indulging in thoughts of feet. The sneakers that Boss gave you were thrown into the washing machine, and these shoes 'don't fit', right?"

"..."

"Tell me, do you like Boss's jiojio more, or Lao Ban's stockings more?"

"I ha your sister..." Lin Yi was speechless and couldn't help but say, "If you like them, I'll ask for a pair of shoes for you to take home and stir-fry during the next PE class."

Wei Liang chuckled: "If you really want to stir-fry them, it's better to be even more excessive. Compared to original-flavor shoes, I prefer original-flavor stockings..."

"Liangzi, your fetish is almost written all over your face..." Lin Yi rubbed his forehead speechlessly, "Then you can find that cosplayer from yesterday..."

"But I don't like those high-aged fake lolis; I still prefer real lolis."

"But Boss isn't a loli either."

"Please, with Boss's conditions, what more could you want?" Wei Liang showed a look of disdain.

Lin Yi was defeated on the spot and quickly ended the conversation with action, then walked up the steps and came to the classroom door of Group B, Class 2.

When he passed by the teacher's office, he couldn't help but stop and take a look at the tightly closed door, and the image of the homeroom teacher couldn't help but appear in his mind again.

After retracting his gaze, he looked at the doorknob and immediately noticed some plaster-like powder particles falling on the doorknob.

He squatted down and tried to look into the keyhole, but the keyhole's gap was already narrow, and the inside was opaque, so even if he stared at it, he couldn't see anything.

So he moved his nose and smelled some tomato scent, but in this tomato scent, there was also a faint, uncomfortable bloody smell.

A picture of a drop of viscous blood rolling in the lock tongue automatically appeared in his mind.

In that extremely dark place, scarlet blood kept wriggling, and in the place a little further out, the blood began to turn into ketchup. By the time it reached the light-transmitting keyhole, the ketchup had dried into a white, plaster-like powder and was falling out in an almost unobservable way.

「It seems that a sculpture also entered the classroom last night?」 Lin Yi narrowed his eyes. He recalled it in his mind and then thought that 25 new trainees had come yesterday, and some of them left the classroom and returned to the dormitory after evening self-study...

「I wonder how the situation was last night? I wonder how the homeroom teacher is... With her condition, she shouldn't be able to fight the sculpture, right?」 Lin Yi didn't know that the homeroom teacher had left, but thinking of her condition, he couldn't help but worry about her.

He reached out and grabbed the doorknob. When his palm came into contact with the doorknob, he seemed to sense the ketchup residue in the keyhole, and he could also sense that those ketchups seemed to suddenly become "active."

He subconsciously let go of the doorknob, and that feeling disappeared on the spot.

"The doorknob is hot?" Wei Liang poked his head over.

"No." Lin Yi muttered and reached out to grab the doorknob again.

「Indeed... it's a bit active. What's going on?」

He let go and grabbed it again, grabbed it and let go again, repeating this several times. Wei Liang finally couldn't help it: "Hey, Lao Lin, do you have to struggle with the doorknob for so long just to open a door now?"

"Oh, I can't stand it anymore! Let me do it!" Wei Liang reached over Lin Yi and grabbed the doorknob and pressed it hard.

With a "click" sound, the classroom door instantly opened a crack.

「Whoosh...」

A faint, quiet aura permeated out from the crack in the door...
