Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Lin Yi's face darkened: "Die, you!"

"Oh my god! Murder and silencing of witnesses!" Wei Liang raised his hands, looking like he was about to flee for his life.

Watching Wei Liang's back, Lin Yi fell into deep thought.

The life-saving method mentioned in the rules, of tightly holding the student ID and silently reciting one's identity information, might be useful for ordinary experience students, but it's not good for people with unstable mental states and those with inspiration exceeding a certain value, because their inner thoughts can be 'eavesdropped' by the Nightlings and Pseudo-humans.

But Wei Liang's approach of using lust to control the enemy completely lacks this drawback.

Using the desires that only humans possess to anchor oneself as a human is simply a high-level anchor.

It has a sense of being both refined and vulgar, rough but reasonable, simplifying complexity, and returning to the original nature.

And Wei Liang directly and silently taught him this method on the first night when things didn't seem right!

It's like a naive newbie entering the martial world and receiving a rusty iron rod from an old beggar at the start, only to discover as the story progresses that the more it develops, the more powerful this rusty iron rod becomes…

Is this the gold content of Wei Liang, the two-time reincarnation War God Zhuge?!

Laying out the plan right from the start?

Was Wei Liang's constant talk about clinging to my thigh actually sarcasm, implying that I should cling to his thigh like crazy?

Lin Yi suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, but he immediately wore a bitter face again. This fellow Liang's skills are all 'exclusive passive skills.' You never know what kind of crazy moves he has up his sleeve until the critical moment…

Lin Yi decided to secretly observe Wei Liang whenever he had the chance, even if Wei Liang was just picking his nose, he would try to figure out the foreshadowing in it.

Wei Liang, walking ahead, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Needless to say, he knew that Lin Yi had his eyes on him. He couldn't help but touch his chrysanthemum, his steps slightly unnatural.

Continuing to walk, the notice board in front of the cafeteria came into everyone's view.

From afar, the sky above the cafeteria seemed to be filled with a dark cloud, and there seemed to be an indescribable fluctuation in the air, as if all the strange aura was pointing towards there.

"By the way…" Lin Yi said, "The owner of the convenience store should have run into some trouble. I went to the convenience store with Li Huiyuan before and found that there were no student commemorative coins in the convenience store at all."

"But when Maozi and Mu Daxian went, the student commemorative coins in the convenience store had already been collected. I suspect it was the convenience store owner who did it, but there's no evidence…"

Tian Bufan asked: "In your dream, did you see the convenience store owner?"

"No." Lin Yi shook his head, "…The convenience store owner's level seems to be very high. I even suspect that he's not a normal person."

"Young Master Tian, what do you think, could not seeing the convenience store owner be a good thing instead?"

Tian Bufan said: "That's hard to say. What happened later? Since you didn't get the student commemorative coins, how did Maozi and that Mu Daxian get back?"

"The gray fog appeared from the cafeteria and chased Mu Daxian and Maozi into the convenience store. Mu Daxian told Maozi to go first, and then he somehow managed to get a lot of student commemorative coins, and then…" Lin Yi briefly explained the 'Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell' plan, "…And so, they successfully returned to the art building in the early hours of today."

"This Mu Daxian is quite interesting…" Tian Bufan said. He glanced at the cafeteria that had already appeared in their view and didn't continue to focus the topic on Mao Feiyang and the others. Instead, he said, "Seeing the student passage reminds me of that 'As Is' blue-aproned chef."

"Old Lin, you said that so many chefs have turned into sculptures. Will it affect the blue-aproned chef and the others? Could it be that those chef sculptures aren't all black-aproned chefs, but also chefs with other colored aprons?"

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I forgot to say just now… Actually, that 'As Is' blue-aproned chef was originally a black-aproned chef. It seems that in order to prevent the experience students with unstable mental states from seeing his black apron and causing cognitive distortion, he anchored himself as a blue apron."

"Moreover, he is the black-aproned chef's best friend that Mu Daxian mentioned, named 'Old Mo'."

Lin Yi hadn't talked about Old Mo's matter before, so he told some of the things he knew and also talked about Old Mo's magical relationship with the cafeteria.

"…Putting aside the convenience store owner who we're not sure if he's in trouble, Old Mo is the last line of defense for the cafeteria."

Tian Bufan nodded slightly: "If we can communicate with this Old Mo, we should be able to get a lot of information."

"I don't recommend doing that." Lin Yi shook his head, "Old Mo's 'perception' method seems a bit strange. It's hard to say if he'll suddenly stab us."

"Yeah." Tian Bufan nodded.

The group arrived in front of the notice board in front of the cafeteria and suddenly heard Wei Liang, who was walking ahead, exclaim in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yi quickly caught up.

"The cafeteria rules are gone!" Wei Liang was rummaging through the shelf below the notice board, "Damn, there's not even a hair here!"

Lin Yi quickly came to the shelf and helped Wei Liang search together.

"Sure enough, it's not here! Did the cafeteria take the rules away?" Wei Liang asked strangely.

"Wait, there are some pieces of paper here!" Lin Yi reached out and took out the pieces of paper sandwiched somewhere on the shelf.

It was a piece of paper completely soaked by rain, and there were vaguely some printed words like "Catch up with you" and "Leave the cafeteria".

Wei Liang leaned over and took a look. When he saw the content of the paper, he was immediately startled: "Is someone leaving us a message, saying that something is going to catch up with us and telling us to leave the cafeteria immediately?"

"Not… a message… How could it be pre-printed paper?" Lin Yi pondered for a moment, and then denied, "This should be… the cafeteria rules."

"Cafeteria Rule No. 11…"

【…Do not stop, do not look back, do not respond to his call, even if you feel he is about to catch up with you.

After leaving the cafeteria, please take off your clothes as soon as possible…】

Lin Yi got up and thoughtfully circled the notice board once, and then said: "Sure enough, that's how it is… Look, there was a heavy rain last night, and there are fragments of the cafeteria rules on the ground and in the bushes nearby…"

"Are you saying that the cafeteria rules were washed away?" Wei Liang asked in surprise.

"No, someone must have deliberately destroyed it." Lin Yi said seriously, "The cafeteria rules and the student ID card both have some of the same materials, and that kind of material will not be eroded by heavy rain."

"I just went around and didn't find that kind of board around."

Tian Bufan nodded and said: "Someone tore off the cafeteria rules, took away that kind of board, and discarded the paper part in the middle."

"Do you all still remember the content of the cafeteria rules?"

"I remember."

"I also remember."

"I…" Wei Shan hesitated for a moment, "I can't remember some of it…"

"Emmm… Then I'll write you a copy later?" Lin Yi said.

"That's not urgent," Wei Shan waved his hand. "I just need a general idea. Those things aren't much of a threat to me."

Lin Yi opened his mouth, but still said, "Regardless, I should still give you a copy, just in case."

"Alright, whatever you want," Wei Shan didn't refuse.

"Let's go, time for food."

"Okay."

The group immediately walked past the notice board in front of the cafeteria and slowly headed towards the student passage.

Just then, Lin Yi suddenly felt a strange, eerie gust of wind. He lowered his eyes and looked at the ground near his feet.

The grass blades near his feet didn't move at all, and even the dew drops were still on them.

He touched the back of his neck, feeling a vague discomfort, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"This cafeteria… I feel like there's something wrong, but I don't know if it's just my imagination…" Lin Yi muttered to himself as he walked into the student passage.

A faint mist permeated the steps in the student passage. The moss seemed to have become more vibrant than usual due to the nourishment of the overnight rain, standing out conspicuously in this slightly gray environment.

The uneven patterns on the inner walls of the student passage also seemed to have become more ferocious, like distorted, bizarre runes.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the incandescent lights hanging from the top of the passage like stars.

It seemed that as long as the incandescent lights were still shining, the safety of the student passage could be guaranteed.

But gradually, Lin Yi couldn't help but stop.

"Wait a moment," Lin Yi said.

The others immediately stopped.

"What's wrong, Lao Lin?" Wei Liang asked, puzzled.

Seeing Lin Yi observing the incandescent lights, Tian Bufan couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with the lights?"

"No," Lin Yi shook his head slightly. "The light is off… but it doesn't seem to be a problem with the lights. It feels more like a problem with the 'layer'!"

Tian Bufan looked around. "Which layer?"

"Haven't you noticed that the entire passage is more inclined towards gray-white…" Lin Yi lowered his voice and said, "The light in this [Student Passage], why does it look a bit like [Other Passage]?"

"No way, I checked before I came in!" Wei Liang corrected, "Don't overthink it. Are you suggesting we all saw it wrong?"

"That's right, Lao Lin, don't overthink it… don't let your perception fluctuate!" Tian Bufan said, but he didn't deny Wei Liang's words.

Lin Yi was shocked. "You're right… even if I suspect something, I shouldn't bring it up now! This is definitely the [Student Passage]!"

"Let's go, let's get food first, we'll talk about the rest later!" Tian Bufan said.

"Okay," Lin Yi replied.

The group walked up the steps through the thin mist, no longer focusing on sensing the surrounding environment, but instead looking ahead.

The exit of the student passage was ahead, and the pure white light seemed to guide them towards another world.

Looking at the white light of the exit, Lin Yi felt a sense of comfort, but this feeling was like a fire in the wall, a candlelight in the lamp, unable to dispel the cold feeling that permeated from the inner walls of the passage.

Lin Yi's body suddenly shook.

"I've got it, the light in this passage… is like moonlight! There's light, but it's not bright, it's as cold and clear as water!"

Not sunlight, but moonlight.

Always on… Could it be "moonlight-natured" light?

If there's sunlight, there should be moonlight, right?

Lin Yi wasn't sure, but he already had such an intuition in his heart.

Soon they arrived at the exit of the student passage.

Looking at the familiar entrance to the student cafeteria, Wei Liang said, "Lao Lin, see, we didn't go the wrong way, right?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"Stop being so suspicious, let's go," Wei Liang smiled and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, then reached out and lifted the plastic wind curtain.

The plastic wind curtain was lifted, revealing a blue-aproned chef standing stiffly with his head hanging down. He seemed to have been dead for a long time, standing there like a human ice sculpture, with some mist emanating from his body…

Wei Liang, who was turning back to look at Lin Yi and the others, didn't seem to have noticed anything yet, but everyone else except him was frightened by the blue-aproned chef.

At the same time, the blue-aproned chef seemed to sense something. His stiff body trembled slightly, and his head slowly lifted, his pale eyeballs turning lifelessly, slowly looking towards Wei Liang's position.

"What's wrong? Are you all frozen?"

Wei Liang looked puzzled. Just as the blue-aproned chef was about to reach him, he casually dropped the plastic wind curtain in his hand, then took two steps to Lin Yi and waved his fingers in front of them.

"What are you looking at?"

He looked back at the plastic wind curtain following Lin Yi's gaze, but the hanging plastic wind curtain was like a closed spatial portal, sealing off the layer where the blue-aproned chef was. So, looking from here, the student cafeteria was still a normal student cafeteria…

Therefore, he didn't see anything unusual.

"Just now…?" Lin Yi wanted to say something, but Tian Bufan had already walked over, reached out and lifted the plastic wind curtain, interrupting him at the same time: "It's nothing, let's go."

Behind the plastic wind curtain that Tian Bufan lifted, there were already many people lining up in the student cafeteria. At the same time, as if Tian Bufan had turned on some switch, some trainees suddenly emerged from the originally deserted student passage like bamboo shoots after a rain.

These trainees walked in groups of two or three, came out of the student passage, naturally lifted the other part of the plastic wind curtain, and then walked into the student cafeteria, waiting in line for breakfast.

A large expanse of confusion flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. He looked back at the student passage, but couldn't help but discover that the incandescent lights in the student passage didn't seem as cold and clear as he had just seen, and had gradually returned from gray-white to that warm, soft, orange-yellow tone…

"What… what's going on?" Lin Yi touched his arm, feeling the warmth of the morning light, but he felt an unreal feeling.

"Lao Lin, let's go! Stop spacing out!" Wei Liang's urging voice came from ahead, and Wei Shan behind him also gently pushed him in the back.

Lin Yi immediately came back to his senses and quickly followed the group into the student cafeteria.

Just as Wei Shan followed him in, Lin Yi's mind flashed with a glimmer of light, like someone who had forgotten something suddenly remembering something.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the exit of the student passage.

"Wait… where's Lao Mo?"
