Rules-related weird stories: 4016

"This voice…?!\n" A glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. "Is that the dorm manager's voice?"

He immediately reacted, "That Pseudo is making a move?!"

Normally, he would definitely develop stealthily, even retreating behind the bookshelf, but now he had nothing to fear.

With his right palm holding a secret pattern, ready to condense a weapon at any time, he cautiously ran towards the direction of the sound.

Escape?

There was no need for that yet; he could wait until things got dicey.

Before he could even run, he saw the female dorm manager running out from behind the bookshelf in a panic, bumping into Lin Yi head-on.

Upon seeing Lin Yi, the female dorm manager slammed on the brakes, as if she had seen something terrifying.

She stood there for two seconds, then gritted her teeth and turned to run.

But just then.

"Chi—"

A figure dashed out like a dog, skidding and turning forcefully, sparks flying from its hands and feet as they scraped the ground.

It was the male student.

However, the Pseudo at this moment no longer resembled a person; it was more like a hybrid of a zombie and a nocturnal hunting dog.

It made indistinct "Feh, feh, feh" sounds, running on the ground like a humanoid beast, extremely fast, but with poor control over its body, like an adult driving a bumper car.

As soon as it saw Lin Yi, it seemed to be attracted by the aura on Lin Yi's body, abandoning its pursuit of the female dorm manager and directly pouncing on Lin Yi.

"fanTome…"

It opened its mouth wide, saliva dripping from between its teeth.

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, neither dodging nor evading, and directly summoned the baseball bat, delivering a deep-throat nucleic acid test to the Pseudo's mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth.

The Pseudo's momentum was too great; Lin Yi's baseball bat directly pierced its throat, skewering it like a kebab.

Lin Yi slammed it hard into the ground, creating a dull thud.

"fan…tome…Feh, feh, feh…fan…"

The Pseudo struggled constantly, trying to grab Lin Yi with its hands, but Lin Yi stepped on its claws.

It continued to struggle, its chest bursting open, bones twisting out like black tentacles, trying to grab Lin Yi like the lobes of a Venus flytrap, seemingly wanting to catch and devour Lin Yi.

Lin Yi frowned, intending to give it a powerful send-off, but then he noticed that the female dorm manager, who had hidden behind the bookshelf, had returned and was smashing the old kerosene lamp at the Pseudo.

"Die, die, die!!"

The female dorm manager shoved the old kerosene lamp into the Pseudo's wide-open chest cavity.

Under the scorching light of the old kerosene lamp, the Pseudo rapidly emitted a large amount of green aura, and its body began to petrify from the inside out.

Eventually, its limbs stopped flailing, and it lay on the ground like a burst-open corpse sculpture, its face still maintaining a ferocious expression.

"Hah…hah…hah…" The female dorm manager released her grip, leaned back, and collapsed onto the ground, supporting herself with her hands, panting incessantly.

Lin Yi looked at the returning female dorm manager with some surprise, the ferocious appearance from just now still vivid in his mind.

"Impressive!"

He gave a thumbs up and sighed, "Women don't fall short to men."

The female dorm manager's gaze towards him was still somewhat wary, after all, the scene of Lin Yi taking off his "human skin mask" had a somewhat large impact on her perception, no less than the Pseudo's transformation.

She panted, wanting to prop herself up to stand, but after trying, she found that she couldn't stand up, seeming somewhat exhausted.

Seeing this, Lin Yi wanted to pull her up, but suddenly, like a dog, he returned the previous joke: "Are you soft too?"

Hit by her own boomerang, the female dorm manager's face flushed unnaturally, but she still grabbed Lin Yi's hand and stood up, twitching the corner of her mouth: "You're the one who's soft, your whole body is soft!"

As she spoke, she walked to the corpse sculpture of the Pseudo, wanting to pull out the old kerosene lamp, but after trying, she found that when the Pseudo petrified, some of its flesh and blood had turned into stone, jamming the old kerosene lamp inside.

She tried several times, but to no avail, her pale face immediately turned ugly, and she muttered in a low voice: "Not good…inserted too deeply, seems like I can't pull it out…"

"Oi~ Encountered a problem?"

Lin Yi curled his lips and leaned over with a mischievous look.

"Hmph!"

The female dorm manager wrinkled her nose, "Isn't it because I was saving you!"

"Let me see."

Lin Yi leaned closer and reached out to touch the stone, finding that it was quite hard.

"Hard, right!"

The female dorm manager said.

"What, you want to take this one back to play with?"

"Get lost!"

The female dorm manager was furious.

Lin Yi tried to pry it with force, but the stone didn't budge, terrifyingly hard, so he wrapped the azure aura around his hand and pried it again, and the stone broke on the spot.

He effortlessly removed the old kerosene lamp from inside and handed it to the female dorm manager.

"Uh…thanks."

The female dorm manager took the old kerosene lamp and politely thanked him, then noticed that Lin Yi mischievously handed over the bone-shaped stone as well.

"???"

She was stunned for a moment, looked at the shape, quickly reacted, and immediately bared her teeth and roared, "Get lost! Play with it yourself!"

Lin Yi then threw it back into the corpse sculpture and shrugged.

"I regret it!"

The female dorm manager looked at Lin Yi angrily.

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment: "If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have thrown it…"

Saying that, he was about to touch the stone.

"What I regret is that I shouldn't have inserted the lamp in the first place!"

The female dorm manager added angrily, "I should have inserted it into your mouth!"

"Hey, that's too unkind of you!"

"You're the one who's unkind, I saved you!"

"It was originally chasing you, I diverted its hatred, shouldn't I be the unlucky one?"

Lin Yi pointed to the corpse sculpture.

"Hmph, that's why I came to save you!"

"Look, you got the cause and effect wrong, so it seems like you're benevolent, but actually…you're just making amends, huh, why are you looking at me like that?"

The female dorm manager frowned, her teeth grinding, "You're so annoying, I really want to hit you!"

"Alright…the little interlude is over, let's all go our separate ways."

Lin Yi patted the dust off his hands and shrugged.

"Hmph! If we're going our separate ways, then we're going our separate ways!"

The female dorm manager left angrily.

Lin Yi was also planning to leave, but just then, he suddenly thought of something, retreated back to the corpse sculpture, thought for a moment, reached out and took off the already petrified heart of the sculpture, and then crushed it with force.

"Peng ka…"

The stone turned into powder and dissipated, Lin Yi looked at this scene, his brow furrowed.

He summoned the baseball bat again, like crushing medicinal residue, grinding the corpse sculpture bit by bit.

Finally, in the last section, he found a wisp of dark red viscous liquid.

"As expected, it's not completely dead…"

Lin Yi held down the wisp of "origin" with the baseball bat, turned to look for the female dorm manager, "Hey, that woman, haven't you gone far yet?"

"I'm at..." The female dormitory manager's voice echoed eerily from behind the bookshelf, startling him.

"Damn, what are you hiding for?" Lin Yi naturally assumed she had gone far away. He didn't expect this woman not only didn't leave but was also sneaking around to spy on him.

"I just wanted to see what you were secretly coming back for!" the female dormitory manager said righteously.

"Then you don't need to eavesdrop, do you?" Lin Yi was speechless.

"If I don't hide, how would I know if you're being honest?" the female dormitory manager said.

Lin Yi rubbed his forehead and reached out his hand, saying, "Alright... Give me the lamp to use."

"What do you want to do?" The female dormitory manager cautiously hugged her old kerosene lamp tightly.

"Can you see it? Shine it on that thing; it'll be fine after it's exposed," Lin Yi said calmly, pointing to the pseudo-being's 'source' and instructing the female dormitory manager.

The female dormitory manager then carried the old kerosene lamp and approached.

As soon as it came into contact with the light, the dark red, viscous liquid 'poof'ed and evaporated some red mist, which quickly turned into white powder particles and dissipated.

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

"What is that?" the female dormitory manager asked curiously.

"It's probably the genetic material of that pseudo-being just now..."

"The blood... it shot out before it died?" The female dormitory manager opened her mouth in shock, then immediately realized something was wrong and quickly covered her mouth. "Ah, no, sorry, cough cough... that, that..."

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, looking at her with contempt and strangeness, "It's not that... Your mind is a bit seriously polluted..."

The female dormitory manager pouted, but this time, she couldn't say anything.

Lin Yi explained helplessly, "It's genetic material, or you can say the source, the essence. If those things aren't erased, it will 'reborn' when the time is right... Well, it should be considered rebirth."

After explaining, he looked down at his wrist.

4:16.

Although there were some delays on the way, at least he arrived at the library.

[After arriving at the library, you will see the 'Library Rules.' You can appropriately abide by the parts of the rules that do not belong to 'interns' based on your own situation and the emergencies you encounter. You can also wander around the library and explore and browse some books as much as possible without violating the rules...]

[But when the red light in the library turns on, you must immediately go to the front desk on the first floor...]

[After arriving, just wait there until the security guard appears. Follow him, and you can leave the library and return to the campus.]

[The time when the security guard appears in the library is not fixed, so when the red light in the library turns on, you must rush over immediately. The security guard will stay for a while, but not too long...]

Old Mo's last instructions echoed in his mind.

But he touched his head, feeling a little confused.

"Old Mo said that when I arrive at the library, I will see the 'Library Rules'... Where are the Library Rules?"

He had just looked around but didn't see the 'Library Rules.'

Could it be on a bookshelf somewhere?

He looked at the surrounding bookshelves. There were countless bookshelves in the entire library. If he had to find it on a bookshelf, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

He looked at the female dormitory manager and asked, "By the way, do you know where the 'Library Rules' are?"

"Don't know!" The female dormitory manager seemed to still be angry and snorted directly upon hearing this.

Lin Yi knew she knew as soon as he heard it, so he said, "We can be considered to have gone through life and death together; don't be so stingy, okay? Speaking of which, could this be your first time here too?"

The female dormitory manager puffed out her cheeks, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The 'Library Rules' are on the counter. I'll take you there!"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You're such a good person!"

"I don't accept good person cards, thank you," The slender and weak female dormitory manager carried the old kerosene lamp and turned to walk back the way she had come from.

Lin Yi quickly followed.

May 10, X023, 4:20, first floor of the library.

Lin Yi followed the female dormitory manager forward, and soon he saw a counter.

The female dormitory manager pointed to the counter and said, "The 'Library Rules' are on the shelf over there."

Lin Yi looked in the direction of her voice. Before he even saw the 'Library Rules,' he saw an unusually conspicuous life-size standee. The standee was a picture of a cute anime girl that Lin Yi didn't recognize, wearing pink and tender clothes, facing away from people, sticking out her butt, and very shamelessly lifting up her little skirt. However, instead of the cute little panties that should have been under the little skirt, it had turned into a sign—the sign said in huge letters "Library Rules ←", making it difficult to miss.

"This... Isn't this too conspicuous?"

"Isn't it just because they're afraid others won't see it," the female dormitory manager sneered. "Who doesn't like lewdness? You're right, aren't you?"

Lin Yi nodded noncommittally, "It seems we have similar views on this point."

Next to the shameful standee was a circular service desk, and next to the service desk was a shelf.

The style of that shelf was exactly the same as those in various scenic spots that hold tourist notices and scenic spot maps. The shelf was filled with small notebooks, which seemed to be the 'Library Rules.'

Seeing this, Lin Yi quickened his pace and walked over.

"Hey!" The female dormitory manager called out to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi turned around in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing..." The female dormitory manager pursed her lips, "Goodbye."

"Oh, goodbye," Lin Yi waved his hand and quickly walked towards the counter.

The female dormitory manager looked at Lin Yi's back, feeling a little angry, "Really... Not gentlemanly at all!"

Saying this, she followed along.

Lin Yi quickly arrived at the counter. The counter was in the shape of a circle, with some books and notebooks placed inside. There was also a triangular sign on the counter. The side of the sign facing outwards had no words, only a large red "X". Lin Yi went around the sign and took a look, discovering that the other side of the sign had a blue "√".

"Huh, the librarian isn't here..."

[You can trust the librarian, but do not accept his invitation to stay and become the new librarian.]

Old Mo's instructions echoed in his ears.

It seemed that the librarian was a rather complicated identity. Lin Yi hadn't figured out how to face the librarian yet, but he didn't expect to not encounter him at all.

"That's good... At least it can avoid some incidents."

Lin Yi retracted his gaze and came to the shelf. There was an unusually conspicuous sign on the shelf, which read:

"Anyone who arrives at the library must first read the 'Library Rules,' otherwise, they will bear the consequences themselves!!!"
