Rules-related weird stories: 4016

However, the digital camera had already been partially solidified onto the floor by some plaster-like substance. He used a bit of force to pry the digital camera loose.

"Crack..." With a sound, a small area of the surrounding plaster-like substance shattered into countless fragments.

"You, you, you... Stay away from me! No, it's me who needs to stay away from you... You'll kill me! You'll kill us all!"

The girl scrambled up from her chair in a panic, rushing towards the row of chairs in the distance in a flustered manner, desperately trying to get away from Lin Yi, afraid of being contaminated by misfortune. During this, she bumped into a poorly placed armrest, leaving a red mark on her thigh.

"Hey, classmate," Lin Yi called out to her, "If you really want to live, go sit in the back row by the window."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he ignored her and lowered his head to tinker with the digital camera.

However, the digital camera was not turned off, and the battery had been exhausted after being left on all night.

Lin Yi searched around and soon found a small shoulder bag nearby.

He walked over and picked up the small shoulder bag. As soon as he unzipped it, he saw some batteries.

"As expected..."

It was common knowledge that there were no charging outlets in the school district, and there was no signal either. Therefore, if the person who met Pan Jian planned to record any videos, one camera would definitely not be enough. Some spare batteries must have been prepared in the bag.

He replaced the digital camera's battery, and the screen lit up immediately.

"It's on!" He felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he grabbed the digital camera and the small shoulder bag, returned to his seat, and then opened the photo album to browse.

The first video was a video lasting 56 minutes and 34 seconds. Clicking on the details showed that the shooting time was "22:47:31 / 7 / 5 / X023".

"56 minutes and 34 seconds? That's so long?"

He was stunned at first, but then he immediately understood.

This video must have been recorded after Pan Jian started recording and was killed midway. Therefore, the digital camera continued recording until it ran out of power and automatically saved the video, resulting in nearly an hour of footage.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little fortunate. If it weren't for this feature, he would definitely not have been able to see this precious recording.

So he pressed the play button.

"Buzz-- Buzz--"

Two white lines, like those that would appear on a television screen when the signal was bad, jumped on the video, and then the time jumped out in the upper right corner: "22:47:31".

The video's picture started moving along with the passage of time...

The scene was a dimly lit classroom, and a group of students began to get up from their seats and run around. The classroom was in chaos, with exclamations rising and falling.

The camera began to follow them, and then it captured the scene of them crawling under the desks in the back of the classroom.

When it came to this part, a slight and somewhat disdainful "Tch" sound could be heard in the chaotic and noisy scene. It seemed that Pan Jian, who was recording the video, snorted it out, not taking it seriously.

Pan Jian's camera work was very ordinary, just the kind of normal shooting. When the time on the camera came to 22:51:17, the last lamp in the classroom went out.

"Whoa~ Exciting ah..." Pan Jian's voice rang out in the camera, but it was obvious that his tone was a bit nervous now, and of course, there seemed to be more excitement.

The camera circled around, and the picture was a bit blurry and distorted. When the picture became somewhat stable, the middle of the lens was facing a non-human student with his head drooping, slowly standing up from the seat...

The non-human student was originally as dull as a stone, but at this moment, its expression gradually became exaggerated. Its eyes were wide open, almost popping out of their sockets, and the corners of its mouth were stretched to the ears.

Suddenly—

The picture "buzz" skipped a white line, and when the picture was clear, the non-human student had already appeared in front of the camera.

A sudden close-up of a huge face, wide eyes full of bloodshot, that crazy demon smile stretched to the ears, those teeth with saliva dripping... almost sent Lin Yi, who was squinting at the small screen of the digital camera, away on the spot.

Lin Yi's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the digital camera, but he immediately reflexively grabbed it tightly again.

The picture began to shake, and after a period of blur, it became clear again. The camera had already come to the steps, and a sound of flesh hitting stone could be heard outside the picture, as well as Pan Jian's painful "Ah-- You, what the hell are you doing?!"

The picture suddenly became pitch black, and then, accompanied by the shaking of the lens, the picture shook to the scenery outside the window.

Outside the window, a white light flickered, like some kind of searchlight piercing through the rain and flashing back and forth.

Thunder shuttled across the sky, and raindrops the size of beans hit the explosion-proof glass like bullets...

Suddenly—

"Wait!"

Lin Yi pressed the pause button, then rewound the picture a few seconds and pressed play.

In a fleeting blurred picture, Lin Yi suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some vague figures lying outside the explosion-proof glass, like some kind of creature lying on the glass, peering into the classroom.

"What are those things?" Lin Yi was a little surprised, "Are they distorted sculptures?"

The sculpture Lin Yi was thinking of referred to the plaster-like sculpture, not the human-shaped outline that was defined as a "sculpture" and twisted in the bright and mottled pieces of broken glass.

Lin Yi rewound and watched it several times, but in the end, he still couldn't see clearly what it was, so he could only continue watching.

The camera was aimed at the non-human student, and Pan Jian's heavy breathing and angry scolding came from outside the picture: "I, I, I... I warn you! I'm recording now! Your actions will be uploaded to the Internet!!"

"You... You let go of me! You let go... Ugh--"

The picture trembled and shook, following Pan Jian as he flew out. This time, Pan Jian was unable to hold the digital camera tightly. With a loose hand, the digital camera fell to his side with a "clang".

Another non-human student appeared in the picture. When they were captured by the camera, they swayed their stiff bodies like walking corpses, but every time they acted, they were extremely fast. In just a few moments, Pan Jian fell to the ground and couldn't move.

Gradually, dark red liquid began to slowly flow out of his body...

The non-human student approached it and took a deep breath, seemingly muttering vague words like "tomato" and "good", and then it bent down, picked up Pan Jian's leg, and slowly moved his body in the classroom.

When Pan Jian's body was being dragged, it bumped into the digital camera, so the lens was bumped to another angle, just facing the door of the classroom.

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.

The picture was once still, and occasionally a current-like line would "buzz" flash across it. From time to time, some screams rose and fell in the classroom...

Lin Yi pressed the fast-forward button, and soon the door of the classroom moved.

Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he quickly pressed pause, glancing at the time on the screen.

"22:53:04."

"That kind of sculpture is coming!" Lin Yi thought to himself, staring at the screen, his eyes narrowed into a slit.

Soon, the doorknob was pressed down, and the door was slowly pushed open...

But at this moment, the screen actually "buzzed" non-stop, and this time it wasn't just a current-like line, the entire screen actually turned into static.

"This... is it broken?"

Lin Yi fiddled with the digital camera, turning it over in his hands. In the end, he helplessly pressed the fast-forward button.

He pressed it several times in a row, but even at 32x speed, there were no extra changes.

Just as Lin Yi sighed in disappointment, the picture suddenly returned.

Lin Yi quickly pressed pause and dialed back a bit.

When the picture recovered from the static, the time on the screen was "23:02:18". The following picture hardly changed until "23:04:08", when the lights in the classroom gradually came back on.

The scene after the lights were restored was quite messy. The ground had become streaks of tomato sauce. Under the illumination of the incandescent lights, the color of the tomato sauce was very deep and dark, and it was almost impossible to see the traces of their existence on the dark floor tiles…

The newest novels are first released on 69shu.com!

After that, there was almost no change in the picture, only some students crawling out from under the desks, returning to their seats with frightened expressions.

Lin Yi pressed to 32x speed, but the picture did not change. When the video ended, the time was frozen at "23:44:05".

The entire video lasted 56 minutes and 34 seconds. Although the amount of information provided was extremely limited, it at least supplemented his impression of the classroom after the lights went out, and this video also once again confirmed the authenticity of his dream.

Unfortunately, even the digital camera was unable to capture the figure of that "conceptual-level" sculpture. Knowing that the conceptual-level sculpture had appeared, the digital camera captured only static.

"Static… white lines?" Lin Yi replayed the recording and repeatedly observed the segment where the sound of "zzzzz" appeared in the picture.

He quickly discovered a pattern, which was that when the picture captured the movement of non-human students, if the non-human students were moving slowly in a zombie-like manner, then the picture was normal. But once they displayed that strange teleportation-like movement ability, the picture taken by the digital camera was a fluctuating line like an electric current, accompanied by a "zzzzz" sound.

This unstable picture fluctuation reached its peak after the conceptual-level sculpture pushed open the door of the classroom. The kind of current-fluctuating lines in the digital camera completely turned into static, just like the signal received by the TV completely disappeared.

Lin Yi flipped through the other content in the photo album, but the only valuable thing in it was a landscape photo of the mountain road taken on the blue bus.

The rest were just a few photos taken randomly in the campus, and a few secretly taken videos of that two-dimensional coser dressed in pink. Other than that, there was no valuable information.

While Lin Yi was flipping through the digital camera, the homeroom teacher 040 saw all his actions from the moment he picked up the digital camera until now.

To be precise, she only started paying attention to Lin Yi's behavior when Lin Yi bent down to pick up the digital camera.

At that time, her brow furrowed slightly, and then her gaze fell on Lin Yi's name in the folder. After staring at Lin Yi's name for a few seconds, she fell silent.

Then, she rested her chin on her hand and observed Lin Yi's every move. She didn't say anything to warn Lin Yi until Lin Yi flipped through the photo album and put the digital camera aside.

During this process, several more students pushed open the door and entered the classroom, and then she called them over to sign in.

…

After flipping through the photos and videos about the campus several times, Lin Yi put the digital camera aside and frowned in thought.

The digital camera's clues to capturing the conceptual-level sculpture were broken, but… it didn't seem like there were no clues.

In this 56-minute-long recording, there were actually some unexpected clues that made him feel surprised.

And the biggest clue was that blurry picture—in that fleeting shot, a figure was captured lying outside the classroom window.

The window on that side was not close to the corridor, but to the side of the green belt.

"Hey Lin, what are you looking at?" Wei Liang stretched his neck and poked his head over, "I've been watching you look at it for a long time. Is there any secret resource inside?"

"Share it with your brother?"

Lin Yi handed the digital camera over: "Here, look if you want, but are you sure this is something you can look at?"

Wei Liang curled his lips, disdainfully saying: "You handed it over so casually, it must be something I can… Oh crap, get away, get away!!"

Wei Liang covered his face after only glancing at the screen of the digital camera: "Sure enough, it's not a good thing! I'll continue reading my treasure manga!"

He pushed the digital camera back to Lin Yi, then picked up the H manga he had just finished reading and went to the bookshelf to return the book and borrow a new one.

Lin Yi glanced at the frozen picture on the digital camera and shook his head helplessly.

Wei Liang was possessed by a drama queen. The screen of the digital camera was actually completely black, and there was nothing on it, but Wei Liang accurately predicted that this was something he couldn't look at.

Lin Yi glanced at his watch.

8:50.

Actually, he finished reading at 8:46. The last few minutes were just spent flipping back and forth.

He stopped flipping through the photo album and glanced at the students in the lecture hall again. There were 4 more students in the classroom, but the overall number was still very small.

He glanced at the homeroom teacher 040 again. He could sense that the homeroom teacher 040 seemed to be observing him just now, but he didn't care.

He also dispelled the idea of continuing to observe the students in the lecture hall, because there was no point in observing now. To know the casualties, he had to wait until everyone had been called at least once.

"Eh? Roll call?"

He looked at the homeroom teacher 040 again and suddenly understood why the homeroom teacher 040 had been sitting on the podium and hadn't returned to the office.

The homeroom teacher 040 was counting the number of people?

The sign-in method could easily confirm the number of casualties during the night.

"Yesterday morning, the homeroom teacher came early in the morning to call the roll, and left after calling the roll. This was because the day before yesterday evening was abnormal weather. Except for the physical education students who forcibly left in the fog before 9:00 p.m., everyone else stayed in the classroom overnight, so she only needed to come in the morning to call the roll to know the casualties of the trainees."

"But last night was different. Last night, they could return to the dormitory, so she needed to sit here and wait for everyone to come over before she could confirm the casualties."

The logic was this logic. Lin Yi had thought of this yesterday morning, but judging from the action of the homeroom teacher 040 holding down the roll call folder, the sign-in seemed not that simple. This matter itself seemed to be hiding a deeper meaning.

"That list… is definitely not just for counting casualties." Lin Yi guessed, "But what is the meaning?"

Happy New Year!

orz… Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! Bang bang bang… bang bang bang…
