Rules-related weird stories: 4016

In the lecture hall... there wasn't a single person!

Lin Yi still remembered that on May 8th, there were a total of 90 people in the classroom. Since he didn't see any sports students in the evening, he counted them during the day. At that time, there were 18 sports students. After dinner, there were 34 experience students, including him and Wei Liang, and 38 pseudo-students.

In this count, Li Huiyuan wasn't included.

During roll call that evening, eight people with high inspiration were called out by the homeroom teacher -040 and went to the dormitory building.

These eight people included him, Wei Liang, Shan Nan, and... Song Rentou. He couldn't remember the remaining four, but he vaguely remembered one of them being called Liu Jingning, but he couldn't match the face.

Because after the homeroom teacher 040 called out the names, not everyone stepped forward. Some people returned to the dormitory with the experience students.

That day, besides the eight people whose names were called, four others followed them back to the dormitory.

In other words, eight names corresponded to twelve people, making it impossible to match them.

Thirty-four experience students left twelve people, leaving twenty-two in the classroom...

But now, there's not a single one!

"Could they have been wiped out?" A somewhat frightening thought popped into Lin Yi's mind.

Under the influence of "It-I", the activity range of the pseudo-people was limited, but this didn't mean that the experience students were absolutely safe. After witnessing the horror of the grinning angel and the disgusting tide of night-walking species, Lin Yi wouldn't be surprised even if all the experience students in the classroom were wiped out.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly felt a little horrified. Had he become such a numb person?

The thought "I wouldn't be surprised even if they all died" actually appeared in his mind!

"This...?"

"Could it be that... disasters really change a person's values?"

Lin Yi never thought of himself as a person who disregarded life, until... he realized that he had inadvertently expressed indifference to life.

He felt a little scared, as if he had become somewhat unlike himself without realizing it...

But then again, why would he have the thought of "unlike himself"?

What was he like before?

Just as this thought popped into his head, Wei Liang patted him on the shoulder from behind: "Old Lin, what are you spacing out about?"

Interrupted from his thoughts, Lin Yi shuddered and suddenly came back to his senses: "Ah? Oh! It's nothing, just lost in thought..."

After calming down, he thought again that perhaps it wasn't as dark as he thought. It was just after 8 o'clock, maybe those people went to the cafeteria for breakfast when the time came. He needed to wait a while to find out what the situation was.

He walked onto the podium and started aiming at the chest of the homeroom teacher -040 from afar, trying to observe the homeroom teacher's name tag.

But just like yesterday, the homeroom teacher -040's sitting posture was a bit lazy, and the badge on her chest was looming, making it impossible to see clearly.

The homeroom teacher -040 naturally knew what Lin Yi was thinking, so she adjusted her posture, held her head high, and showed her name tag.

Seeing the words "Homeroom Teacher-B2-040" imprinted on the white acrylic board with a thorny flower ring, Lin Yi finally calmed down.

"Lin Yi, student ID X0230506098," Lin Yi said, then stared at the blue folder next to the homeroom teacher, wanting to see something from it.

The homeroom teacher -040 opened the folder, found Lin Yi's name, and then put a checkmark behind it.

Lin Yi focused his attention on the list. At a certain moment, he actually found that the homeroom teacher -040's movements had slowed down, and his eyes were gradually focusing, making what he saw clearer.

He found that on the list, his row started with his name, then his student ID. The grid behind the student ID was divided into upper and lower rows, and there was a row of grids in the middle, which seemed to indicate the morning and evening of each day.

Among them, he found that there was a "√" below the grid marked "5/6", there were "√"s in both the upper and lower grids of "5/7" and "5/8", and now, the homeroom teacher -040 put a "√" in the upper half of the "5/9" grid.

The same was true for Wei Liang.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he briefly scanned the symbols on the other people's side.

On the entire list, there were four types of symbols: "〇", "√", "×", and "/".

But the "〇" was on the student's name, not in the check-in grid, and so was the "/". This symbol crossed out the name.

"√" was something he could understand as someone who was alive, and "×" meant that he didn't come to roll call, which he could also understand.

But what were "〇" and "/"?

Because he found that Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang's names were circled, he could generally infer that these were the marks for sports students or those staying on campus, but... he wasn't sure which symbol the art students were.

He also couldn't determine whether those who were crossed out were art students or pseudo-people, or if there were other indications?

Because he found many names that were crossed out, some of which also had a line drawn below them after being crossed out, and in the roll call grids of these people, there were actually both "√" and "×", which looked very chaotic, just like a roll call sheet from an ordinary school, where students sometimes came to class and sometimes didn't.

But this was S City University, so this roll call sheet must also be very meaningful.

He didn't have time to think about too many things, so he wrote down some things.

"Okay, you guys can find a place to sit down first," the homeroom teacher -040 smiled gently after finishing the roll call.

"Okay, teacher..." Lin Yi responded, but didn't leave. He reached into his pocket and touched Song Rentou's piece of paper.

Now there was no one in the classroom, perhaps it was a good opportunity to hand in the paper.

But just as he was about to take out the paper, the classroom door was pushed open.

Those faces looked somewhat familiar, seemingly one of the other ten people who left the classroom and returned to the dormitory yesterday.

"Come over and sign in, tell me your name and student ID," the homeroom teacher -040 said.

"Uh... Hu Chuanzhang, the student ID is..." This Hu Chuanzhang glanced at Lin Yi and Wei Liang warily, hesitating whether to speak later.

"What's the student ID? It's okay, you can report your student ID, just don't take out your student card casually," the homeroom teacher -040 said, seeing Hu Chuanzhang's concerns.

So Hu Chuanzhang said: "Okay, my student ID is X0230507044."

Lin Yi glanced at him, and a thought popped into his mind—"He's from Li Huiyuan's batch?"

Li Huiyuan's student ID was X0230507046, and this Hu Chuanzhang was 0507044, almost entering the B Group 2 class office one after another.

After the homeroom teacher marked with a "√", Lin Yi didn't even have time to consider whether or not to take out the paper slip again when another person followed closely, pushed open the classroom door, and walked to the podium to sign in.

Lin Yi sighed softly, thinking that it seemed there was no chance, and he should just go back to his seat.

So he followed Hu Chuanzhang down from the podium, but just as he turned around, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"Teacher, I am Song Rentou."

Lin Yi's footsteps paused slightly, and in that instant, his mind was buzzing, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

He formulated a temporary plan at lightning speed!

"Liangzi, I'm going to the restroom, you go back to your seat first." He told Wei Liang, then turned back, concealing the possibility that the pause in his footsteps might attract Song Rentou's attention.

Wei Liang opened his mouth, wanting to say that he had already relieved himself before leaving the dormitory, so why was he going again now, but noticing something, he didn't say the words and nodded before going up the steps.

Wei Liang's reaction surprised Lin Yi a little. According to Wei Liang's style, he would have said something like "Are you urinating frequently?" However, Lin Yi didn't have the mind to care about that.

So he pretended to let Wei Liang go first, actually switching his position to behind the podium.

The newest novels are first published at Liu_9_Shu_Ba!

At this time, he heard Song Rentou reciting his student ID: "…30503075."

He pretended to look at the clock on the blackboard, while his ears captured the sound of the homeroom teacher turning a page. When the homeroom teacher started writing, he naturally withdrew his gaze from the clock and casually glanced at the list.

He didn't search for Song Rentou's name on the current page of the list. Instead, he directly reversed the process, first locking onto the tip of the pen held by the homeroom teacher, and then looking back at Song Rentou's sign-in record.

After scanning it once, he had already memorized Song Rentou's name, student ID, and sign-in record in his mind like a human-shaped printing machine.

Then, he passed behind the homeroom teacher, continuing to casually move his gaze towards the classroom door.

In this process, he quickly noted down Song Rentou's physical characteristics.

However, just as his gaze landed on Song Rentou, everything around him seemed to slow down…

An indescribable and magical change quietly appeared on Lin Yi's body. He seemed to feel that the whole world had become much quieter, and Wei Liang and Hu Chuanzhang's footsteps were like slow motion…

He faintly heard a "clang, clang, clang" sound of wind in his ears, which only appeared in dreams. His vision began to flicker, as if it was extremely unstable…

At this time, his gaze fell on Song Rentou.

Song Rentou opened his clothes, revealing a hooded sweatshirt underneath a loose school uniform. His physique was slightly above average, looking somewhat similar to Lin Yi and Wei Liang.

But what caught Lin Yi's attention was that Song Rentou's facial muscles seemed to have some problems. The muscles around his eyes and the corners of his mouth would twitch from time to time, like a symptom of nervous blinking.

His school uniform was clean, but the clothes underneath were a bit dirty, as if they hadn't been washed.

And what made Lin Yi feel strange was that when he saw Song Rentou's face, he could be sure that he had never seen him before, yet he felt a faint sense of familiarity!

However, if he was really "familiar", it was impossible not to feel anything at first glance.

If it was indeed somewhat "familiar", then… when had he seen him?

At the same time, an even stranger scene appeared…

Lin Yi's vision flickered more and more frequently, and the "clang, clang, clang" sound of wind in his ears became more and more rapid. When he looked at Song Rentou, the whole world seemed to become unstable, the light and shadow seemed to begin to distort, and he also seemed to see a somewhat distorted shadow behind Song Rentou…

It was a very pure black humanoid silhouette, like the figure of a black giant only found in the snowy mountains, hazy and blurred, but the eye sockets emitted a pure white light like car headlights…

The black humanoid silhouette twisted and swayed gently like seaweed, and the corners of its mouth faintly revealed a crescent-shaped arc that stretched to the roots of its ears.

Its appearance seemed to be accompanied by fierce wind and rapid roars, making people feel as if they were in a storm.

Lin Yi's vision was still flickering rapidly, and his eyeballs were also trembling from side to side, like a water balloon about to burst. Then, his line of sight inadvertently slid, and he saw the shadow behind Song Rentou…

Lin Yi's trembling eyeballs suddenly stopped moving when he saw the shadow, but his pupils uncontrollably contracted, and his eyes were filled with hideous bloodshot veins.

And the shadow also seemed to be frightened, instantly stopping its unnatural and strange swaying.

In that instant, light and shadow intertwined in Lin Yi's "vision", and black and white lines filled his field of vision like irregular and chaotic grids. Colorful colors filled each grid and constantly exchanged positions. His "vision" observed a huge stream of information, whether useless or temporarily unusable, or even beyond cognition. They were as turbulent as a mudslide, as if they were about to drill into his brain through his "vision"!

Lin Yi subconsciously shook his head, blinking his eyes again and again. In that instant, the shadow shrank back into Song Rentou's body like a nimble loach. At the same time, the rapid wind he heard in his ears also began to disappear rapidly, and the flickering vision suddenly recovered.

He rubbed his somewhat dry eyes. Lin Yi brushed past Song Rentou and walked towards the classroom door.

But just then, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him, calling out to him.

"Student."

Lin Yi's hand, which had just reached for the doorknob, suddenly paused.

He knew that he was being called.

Song Rentou was calling him.

So he imperceptibly took a half breath and then slowly turned around.

In the gap of this turning around, a large number of thoughts flashed through his mind, but when he turned his face towards Song Rentou, it was already an extremely natural and ordinary look of "doubt", the slightly curved eyebrows and slightly enlarged eyes seemed to be saying: Huh, is someone calling me?

The other person was indeed Song Rentou.

He saw Song Rentou, who had finished signing in, walking towards Lin Yi from the podium, his eyes unscrupulously sizing him up, then frowning and hesitating: "This classmate, have we… met somewhere before?"
