Rules-related weird stories: 4016

“Hoo—” Lin Yi let out a long breath, like a Black boxer with a wry smile. He sneered inwardly, “You think you can plot against me with such petty tricks?!”

But just as he was closing the door, he faintly heard a sentence from one of the new students inside…

“Look at that idiot, going in and out like a cheap thief…”

Lin Yi: “……”

“Forget it, forget it. The layers are different. I won’t bother with them…”

He slammed the door shut with a “Bang!” Then, staring intently at the nameplate on the teacher's office, he walked over and knocked.

“Knock…”

“Creak—”

Lin Yi's knuckles had only knocked on the door once when a mechanical vibration traveled from the inside along the doorknob. Immediately after, the door was opened from the inside…

A wisp of cold air spread out from the crack in the door…

“Rustle, rustle…”

Like gas vaporizing from liquid nitrogen, a patch of white frost quietly spread out from under the door.

Lin Yi's pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously pulled back his foot.

The door slowly opened, and the icy air continued to spread. The cold current felt like it was blowing from the Siberian ice fields, causing Lin Yi to subconsciously shield the upper half of his face with his hand.

But this cold current didn't last long before it dissipated. Through the gaps between his fingers, he saw the homeroom teacher in her professional attire standing calmly at the office door.

The homeroom teacher sized up Lin Yi.

Lin Yi also vigilantly and quickly observed her.

His gaze first fell on the homeroom teacher's body. Like radar scanning, he immediately located the homeroom teacher's name tag.

“Homeroom Teacher - B2-039.”

“Hoo…” Seeing the normal acrylic name tag, Lin Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The name tag representing the “Homeroom Teacher” identity was still there, so the situation wasn't too bad.

The homeroom teacher in front of him didn't seem to have many problems, but due to what happened this morning, he still had some resistance towards the homeroom teacher in his heart.

Moreover, when the boss sent him away from the gymnasium, he also said:

“There’s no doubt that your homeroom teacher has a problem. If you encounter her under abnormal weather conditions, don’t believe anything she says… It’s best not to get too close to her.”

Therefore, he would have originally chosen to protect himself, but after weighing the pros and cons, he decided that in a situation where multiple claims conflicted, he would base his decision on his own judgment, with compliance with the 《Rules》as the top priority.

Because based on the provisions of the Cafeteria Rules, it was best for him to tell the homeroom teacher the cafeteria employee's number as soon as possible—things clearly written in the rules should still be followed.

Although the Cafeteria Rules didn't explicitly require him to do so, don't forget the last rule of the Cafeteria Rules:

【If you cannot leave the cafeteria after violating the above rules, please go to the convenience store, persist until the convenience store owner appears, tell him the problems you encountered, and follow all the arrangements he gives you.】

He had indeed left the cafeteria now, but who knew if he would be unable to leave the cafeteria next time because of this matter.

If he couldn't leave, wouldn't that create unnecessary complications and require him to seek out a mysterious entity that the 《Student Rules》mentioned as “non-existent” but the 《Cafeteria Rules》said he needed to ask for help from—the convenience store owner?

Lin Yi subconsciously felt that he should keep such a role, which was full of contradictions just from the rules themselves, at a respectful distance.

Compared to the “convenience store owner,” a mysterious entity, the homeroom teacher seemed much more normal.

Because both the Student Rules and the Teaching Building Rules mentioned one point: when encountering problems, you can seek help from the homeroom teacher and need to “obey all arrangements made by the homeroom teacher.”

From this perspective, the "identity" of the homeroom teacher is generally trustworthy.

Even though the current homeroom teacher clearly had some problems.

Therefore, Lin Yi had specially observed the current weather conditions before knocking on the door.

At this time, the weather around the teaching building still fell within the scope of “normal,” and it didn't temporarily meet the “abnormal weather” mentioned by the boss.

Therefore, he still knocked on the office door and decided to make it quick.

But the homeroom teacher opened the office door wide, signaling for him to come in.

“Come in and we'll talk.”

Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at the layer of frost on the floor tiles under his feet. The corner of his eye twitched slightly. He refused the homeroom teacher's invitation and said in a low voice, “Teacher, I'm here to report the cafeteria employee's number to you as required by the Cafeteria Rules.”

“Mm.” The homeroom teacher nodded lightly and repeated, “No matter what, come in and we'll talk.”

“No… Teacher, I'm just here to report the number…” Lin Yi said vigilantly, “Can't you just listen to me recite it?”

“Don't say such things at a time like this.” The homeroom teacher glanced coldly behind Lin Yi, “The ‘office’ is the only place in the teaching building where you can ‘speak without restraint.’”

Lin Yi was slightly stunned and suddenly felt chills rising from his back, as if something was staring at his back through the not-so-dense fog outside the teaching building!

He looked into the homeroom teacher's eyes and saw a flowing mist within them. In the flow of the mist, it seemed to depict the shadow of some strange creature…

“Come into the office and we'll talk…” The homeroom teacher reached out to him somewhat urgently, “Quick!”

“Hoo…”

Lin Yi sensed the flow of the fog. He heard a "Swish, swish…" sound coming from behind him, as if something was coming towards him!

“Damn it, can this also create extra complications?!”

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and walked towards the homeroom teacher.

“Don't dawdle!” The homeroom teacher extended a pale hand, grabbed Lin Yi's wrist, and pulled him into the office!

The moment his wrist was grabbed by the homeroom teacher, Lin Yi was suddenly shocked!

An icy feeling was transmitted from the homeroom teacher's palm, painfully stinging his hand.

He felt like the blood in his wrist was faintly congealing.

Lin Yi: “This…?! The homeroom teacher really has a problem!”

At the same time, his body crossed the boundary of the office door frame and entered the office!

This was his second time entering the office, and this time, the moment his body crossed the office door frame, a faint sense of discomfort quietly spread out from the depths of the office.

After experiencing the feeling of entering B space from A space multiple times, he once again clearly felt the sense of transformation coming from the “spatial location”!

“The office is also an independent space?!” Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. This discovery instantly solved some of his doubts!

No wonder when Tian Bufan and the others knocked on the door, the voice coming from behind the door was male, but when he knocked on the door, the voice coming from the office was female!

(Note: Before Lin Yi or anyone else enters the office for the first time, they would subconsciously think it's a multi-person office, with different teachers opening the door several times. But this idea is shattered the moment they enter, because the office is single-person.)

No wonder there was no one in the office when he entered!

Because the relationship between this office and the office door is not a one-key-to-one-lock relationship at all!

Before opening the door, who knows what's behind it?!

Before he could think more, the office door slammed shut with a "Bang!"

The entire office became a closed environment. The fluorescent light on the ceiling was always on, but the depths were extremely dim. It was clearly not a large space, but there was an area that even light could not reach.

The atmosphere in the office was as oppressive as some long-sealed cellar.

At this moment, the head teacher's voice slowly sounded: "I don't have any malicious intent."

Lin Yi said in a deep voice: "Regardless of whether you have malicious intent or not, teacher... shouldn't you let go of my hand first?"

The head teacher was slightly stunned, and somewhat stiffly released the hand that was tightly gripping Lin Yi's wrist.

Lin Yi rotated his wrist and sucked in a breath of cold air.

"It really is a bone-chilling pain..."

He secretly glanced at the time on the watch on his wrist, and then looked at the time on the pendulum clock on the office wall.

19:03.

So far... it's a little bit abnormal.

Just then, a violent crashing sound came from outside the door.

Then, the door was "bang, bang, bang" knocked.

"Teacher! Teacher... Teacher..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The person outside the door was calling out while violently knocking on the door, as if a storm was hitting glass.

Feeling the impact coming from the door, Lin Yi's face showed shock.

Immediately afterwards, he discovered that on this door... there was a peephole that could observe the outside situation!

He was shocked, and suddenly realized why the head teacher opened the door as soon as he knocked—it was because the head teacher had been using the peephole to observe the outside situation?!

How long has she been watching?

How much perseverance does it take to lie on the door and watch for so long?!

This strange behavior instantly made Lin Yi feel a chill in his heart, abnormal, too abnormal!

It's like... the head teacher is deliberately waiting for a rabbit!

And he is this rabbit!

He stared at the head teacher's overly pale arm, narrowed his eyes, and then pointed to the door, tentatively asking: "That thing outside the door... it's not attacking me, it wants to rush into the office, right?"

The head teacher looked at Lin Yi, her eyes gradually narrowing: "That's right."

Lin Yi sighed in his heart: "So, you lured me into the office... using the fact that I wanted to report the cook's number in the cafeteria."

The head teacher said noncommittally: "Yes... and no."

"First of all, I'm not sure if you're here to report the cook's number."

"Secondly, even if you're not, it doesn't have any impact."

At the end, she added: "It's not easy to catch a fish."

Lin Yi: "..."

"Anyway..." Lin Yi spread his hands, "I'll leave after I report."

The head teacher smiled and said nothing. She turned and walked towards her desk, leaving Lin Yi with a beautiful back view.

Lin Yi noticed that the head teacher's pace seemed to be even stiffer than in the morning.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly scanned the entire office environment.

Compared to the last time he came, the environment in the office was obviously much messier. Crumpled pieces of paper were scattered all over the floor, no longer limited to those places that were not easily seen.

"Teacher, didn't you change your stockings?" Lin Yi suddenly asked.

The head teacher was slightly stunned, lowered her head and glanced at her thigh, then raised her eyebrows and looked Lin Yi up and down with interest: "You observe very carefully... but, you shouldn't only pay attention to these things, right?"

Lin Yi did not answer.

The head teacher walked to the desk, opened a folder, and said while flipping through the documents: "It tore after I put it on, I was too lazy to change it... Tell me your name and student number first."

"Lin Yi, X023050609..." He noticed that the head teacher seemed to have found his page, so he correctly reported the last digit, "...8."

The head teacher closed the folder, put it aside, then opened the drawer and took out a stack of A4 paper from the messy pile of documents and placed it on the desk.

"You just said that you need to report a cook's number?"

"Yes."

"Write it down."

Lin Yi was slightly startled, then nodded: "Okay."

He walked forward and picked up the pen that the head teacher gave him.

It was a chrome-plated fountain pen, with a ring of alloy wrapped around the dark blue barrel, and the touch was slightly cool.

He opened the pen cap, and then wrote the cook's badge number on his finger, stroke by stroke:

"Cook-0391."

He thought for a moment, and then wrote:

"Cook-0154."

The head teacher asked doubtfully: "Why are there two numbers?"

Lin Yi explained: "The first time I didn't get it right, and the second time I didn't get it right either, so I wrote them both down."

"Well... you did the right thing." The head teacher put the paper away, and then pointed to the remaining paper, "Write another copy."

"Ah?" Lin Yi was stunned, but still did as he was told.

While writing, the head teacher suddenly asked unexpectedly: "Lin Yi, what color are the words you wrote?"

Lin Yi was startled and looked down.

The blue ink on the paper showed a morbid distortion under the illumination of the fluorescent light, and a glimmer of green light actually emerged in the distortion.

Lin Yi was shocked, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

He stared intently, the distortion disappeared, and on his finger were the serious blue ink characters: "Cook-0391, Cook-0154."

"It's blue, can't you see it, teacher?"

He looked at the head teacher with an innocent and puzzled expression.

"Of course it's blue." The head teacher said firmly, but a very faint golden light quietly disappeared deep in her eyes.

"Teacher, I'm done reporting, I'll leave first." Lin Yi said and was about to turn and leave.

However, just as he turned more than halfway around, just as he was about to turn his back to the head teacher, a cold aura that could not be described in words suddenly surged from the direction where the head teacher was, like a landslide.

"Whoo... Whoo--"

A layer of white mist suddenly appeared in the office, as if the moment the office door was pushed open, the cold current gushing out of the crack in the door...
