Rules-related weird stories: 4016

"Was that scene of the collapsing city walls and everyone sinking into the sea that I saw just now a glimpse of the future?"

"Not just Boss, will everyone die?"

"Did the future me escape and then return to this point in time through a dream, giving me a… hint?"

A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole!

The future me is guiding the present me… to repair the cracks in the city wall?

The butterfly effect…

The Möbius strip…

The grandfather paradox…

"Could it be…"

"But, but if that's the case…"

"Then what about the ‘present’?"

"Is this just a certain time in the past?!"

As Lin Yi began to contemplate this, a large amount of golden aura poured into his consciousness. Even the golden aura formed after the remains of the Necropolis were crushed was greedily devoured by him!

His brain seemed to be about to begin a terrifying calculation, and this kind of calculation and deduction might drive him mad and cause him to collapse!

"No, no, no…"

"I can't think about it! I can't think about it!!"

"I am the present!"

"The present means the future hasn't happened yet!"

Lin Yi's consciousness trembled constantly. He was very uncertain, but the fear of the unknown and the perception of "time" made him feel that the direction of this guess was somewhat close to the truth!

"Forget it! I can't worry about it!"

"No matter what, I'll try to repair this part of the crack first!"

Perhaps the him from the previous May 9th returned to his main body after leaving the water surface, neglecting the problem on the city wall, or perhaps it was for some other reason… But he couldn't care about so much now.

He would deal with the matter first, and then… when he had time, he would have a good discussion with Tian Gongzi and the others in the dormitory, and also Liangzi. This time, he had to pry something out of his mouth no matter what!

Even if it was just 'aba aba', he would make him tap out a Morse code with 'aba aba'!

His will was more determined than ever, and an iron will was the most powerful weapon at this moment!

He continued to guide the milky white, asphalt-like viscous substance transformed from the remains of the Necropolis, causing it to continuously penetrate into the cracks. Then, he used the golden aura to change their penetration method, allowing them to first enter the surroundings of the grid lines, and then, through stress analysis, using the golden aura as an auxiliary, he adjusted the grid lines, gradually restoring them to a level corresponding to the standard value in "My World"!

"It actually works!"

"Huber didn't deceive me! The ‘Shape Change Binet Theory’ is actually feasible?!"

The bit of knowledge he had accumulated at random times unexpectedly gave him help!

Perhaps there was an element of luck, but at this time, saying anything after the fact was just being a rogue.

As the grid lines were corrected, the originally damaged area of the city wall began to continuously accept the filling of the milky white, asphalt-like substance. The two complemented each other, and with Lin Yi's leadership, it actually began to take effect.

On this outrageous layer level, it was as if an old cement mason with a trowel had appeared, gouging out the cement transformed from the Necropolis to repair the cracks in the city wall.

And this time, the remains of the Necropolis finally became what "wall powder" should be.

Time passed quietly… I don't know how long it had been, but the remains of the Necropolis had been completely "used up". Only when Lin Yi had nothing to "use" did he slowly recover from his focused state of repair.

Even so, only a negligible portion of the cracks on the city wall had been repaired.

Such a small area was insignificant compared to the entire area of the cracks, but this time, the drop in the bucket was different from a sticker. Although the effect was minimal, it was effective.

He didn't get it done, only lacking a handful of raw materials.

At this moment, it seemed that the aura in the giant egg had been "eaten clean". The main body no longer provided golden aura, and a strong sense of weakness began to surge into Lin Yi's heart like a tide.

Lin Yi understood and, with a thought, shouted, "Tighten your belt and run!" He then slipped into the main body in an unusually smooth manner.

The moment his consciousness touched the main body, the entire world was covered by the grid again, and the scene of the giant egg turning into a city wall began to appear before his eyes—everything was like being disassembled and pasted onto the spatial level. As the spatial ripples moved and shifted, the grid lines stretched and contracted, like playing cat's cradle in a pair of skillful, invisible hands…

Only this time, the changes he observed were in reverse. The city wall decomposed and reconstructed in front of his eyes in an incredible way, constantly changing on the spatial level, and finally transforming into a giant egg…

This change became faster and faster. Soon, only a dazzling white light remained in his world…

…

Not long ago, on the protruding building on the giant egg layer, under the dome, the boss looked at the hearts that were constantly beating in the skeleton of the pseudo-human physical education student and slowly frowned.

"Why haven't the heartbeats stopped…?"

"It seems that this time the situation is different…" A physical education teacher said, "Go take a look at the city wall?"

The boss nodded without hesitation: "Let's go."

The group then raised the old kerosene lamp and continued to chant the precepts of the Night Watchers. At this moment, the phantom of the Night Watchers appeared behind them.

In the next moment, the layer changed, and the giant egg under their feet turned into a city wall. The places where they were originally standing, after the layer change, slid like gears along a complex but predetermined trajectory, eventually combining together—becoming a certain position on the city wall.

"That is… a Xenomorphic Angel?!" A physical education teacher noticed the Necropolis lined up like tombstones.

"Advancing on two fronts, secretly crossing the Chencang Pass!" The boss frowned slightly, his tone icy, "Those Wrath Angels are indeed not simply throwing themselves into the net following the overt scheme… This Xenomorphic Angel is the key to their choice to launch an invasion during the day!"

"So that's how it is!" A physical education teacher reacted, "They are also using the ‘Feast’ to carry out a wave of smooth sailing operations, using the Xenomorphic Angel to attack the city wall by surprise!"

"It's a strange thing, the Xenomorphic Angel chose to ‘synthesize’ at this time… It can't exert its full power at all. Is it mainly for a surprise attack?"

"That's not impossible."

"Although a surprise attack can't exert full power, the main thing is to avoid our frontal defense. Stealing a little damage is a little damage. After all, the city wall is too difficult to repair!"

"Fortunately, Teacher Wang reminded us in time, otherwise it would have succeeded."

"Fortunately, it has just taken shape, and we have plenty of time to intercept it."

"No, it has already taken shape…" The boss seemed to have discovered something, "It was just delayed."

"What? Is there something more important than attacking the city wall?" A physical education teacher couldn't help but complain, "Let me see which high-quality unlucky guy fell into the layer… Oh my, a ten-foot golden body, a golden Buddha, really?"

The gym teacher's eyes widened, his attention piercing through the layers of misshapen angels, instantly landing on Lin Yi's consciousness…

However, in their eyes, there was only a bizarre golden light. As for its appearance or form, they couldn't make it out at all.

The only thing they could be sure of was that between the city wall and the misshapen angels, there was a jinx. It was this jinx's presence that had diverted the misshapen angels' attack target.

After all, compared to the city wall, that thing… was just too damn bright, like a light bulb hanging there, so dazzling that it was hard not to notice.

"Ignore that thing," the leader frowned. "That thing isn't aggressive. Probably just some newly recruited security guard who got lost… First, solve the problem of the misshapen angels, then see if we can repatriate that golden light."

The leader was like a commander, always able to issue orders decisively, and the gym teachers all obeyed the leader's instructions unconditionally.

"Okay," everyone responded in unison, and began to guide the power of the old kerosene lamps to drive away the misshapen angels.

Only the leader spared another glance at the blurry golden light. For some reason, this golden light gave her a faint sense of familiarity.

For some reason, the longer she looked at it, the more it made her feet itch, and she couldn't help but want to go up and kick it into the cracks in the city wall…

Just then, a gym teacher exclaimed, "Damn, this is too weird!"

"Look, everyone, that thing… is actually taking the power of the light to break down the shells of the misshapen angels!"

"What…?!" The leader was also shocked for a moment, and quickly refocused her attention. When she saw it, she immediately became a little uneasy.

But compared to the restrained leader, the gym teachers around her were even more restless.

"It really broke it down successfully? Quick, quick, guide the 'Primordial Matter' to repair the city wall! Don't miss this great opportunity!"

"Hurry, hurry!"

"Opportunity knocks but once, hurry up!"

The gym teachers became excited, as if they had caught a rare opportunity.

But they soon discovered the problem.

"It's no good, the 'Primordial Matter' can't be perfectly integrated with the city wall!"

"Invalid repair!"

"This is an invalid repair!"

"Even if you fill it all in, it won't have any effect. It's like drawing on a wound with a crayon, just fooling yourself!"

"Does anyone here have experience in building the city wall? Give us some ideas!"

"Old Zhang! You should have joined the school around that time, do you know what to do?" Several gym teachers looked at the big shot who had slept for three months and didn't know what year it was.

Teacher Zhang was stunned for a moment: "Don't mess around, I participated in the construction of the campus, which has nothing to do with the construction of the city wall… For layer-level construction, you need those architects from back then… Besides, without the blueprints, what are you doing? Ask the leader!"

"Leader, do you have any ideas?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the leader again.

On the leader's cold face, which didn't have many extra expressions, a hint of embarrassment appeared.

"Cough…"

"I only know how to fight, you're asking the wrong person to ask me this…"

"Don't mess around, Old Zhang, the leader hasn't even played small games, are you making it difficult for her to play 'Minecraft' and stack blocks?"

"If it really doesn't work, just blindly smear it into the cracks first. Even if it's insignificant, it can still have some effect, right?"

"Don't waste time, let's do it this way!"

"I agree… Hey, wait a minute! Wait a minute! Look!"

"That is…?!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and what they saw was Lin Yi using his consciousness to start trying to repair the cracks.

"It's repairing the cracks?!"

"Impossible! How is this possible! But… it really is repairing the cracks!"

"Old Zhang, what did you just say?"

"Architect…" Teacher Zhang's eyes flickered, and the hand holding the old kerosene lamp trembled slightly, "It can only be an architect!"

"Not only an architect, but also an architect… who has mastered the 'blueprints'!"

The leader narrowed her eyes, seemingly lost in deep thought: "The blueprints of the city wall…"

"What's wrong, leader?"

The leader's expression was solemn: "Although I don't understand the situation at the time, as far as I know, it should be impossible for someone to obtain the blueprints of the city wall, let alone someone who has mastered the blueprints of the city wall… an architect."

"Leader, what do you mean by that?"

The leader raised the old kerosene lamp, like a person walking through an ancient cave, holding a torch trying to see the stone carvings on the rock wall clearly: "Because the city wall… didn't leave any substantial blueprints at all!"

"What?!"

"The blueprints of the city wall are left here in an incomprehensible way. The mixed golden lines you usually see are the blueprints of the city wall, but they are the blueprints that are kneaded together. If you want to interpret them, you have to spread them out little by little and correspond them to each spatial anchor."

"So, even people with architectural talent need to be deeply polluted to see it, and they still need to maintain their sanity in deep pollution to see the tip of the iceberg of the blueprints… It's simply unrealistic to meet these conditions at the same time."

"Moreover, even if these conditions are met, if they haven't personally participated in the construction of the underlying logic of the city wall, or mastered the relevant knowledge, there's no way to get started with this part of the content…"

"Besides, architects themselves are consumables, and the process of cultivation is the process of consumption…"

"Once they accept deep pollution, very few people can maintain their sanity in the face of that hypergeometric structure, let alone observe its form and construct it."

"According to what you mean, leader… that golden light is not a security guard, but an architect who has entered the layers?"

"From the current point of view, yes, but everyone, don't forget that nine out of ten of the sculptors in the art building are architectural scientists who have been distorted. Although this situation has rarely occurred in recent years, the root cause is not that there are fewer distorted people, but that the architectural scientists officially placed in the campus are strictly restricted."

"As for what's going on with this one, we still have to maintain a conservative attitude."

"The leader is right…" Teacher Zhang lowered his voice and said, "It's because it's restricted, so the process above is very difficult to go through. So, do you think there is a possibility… that what we are seeing now is not an 'architect' at all?"
