Rules-related weird stories: 4016

"Isn't this...?!"

"'The dormitory building is one of the most dangerous areas of the school'?!"

Lin Yi felt like his skull was about to be blown off.

"Is this... the kind of 'most dangerous' I'm thinking of? Are you kidding me?!"

"You son of a..."

Lin Yi felt like he was in a dream. The dormitory building that Xu Shunkang described as 'able to think freely' and the only place 'to sleep' was actually one of the most dangerous areas on campus...?!

But as he approached, he immediately noticed there were words below the notice. So, he followed Wei Liang through the vast crowd and finally stopped in front of the notice, then carefully read the information on the notice from beginning to end.

First, there was the very normal notice about elevator hours:

"Dormitory Elevator Hours:

6:00 ~ 7:40

21:00 ~ 22:00

[It is forbidden to use the elevator outside of these hours!]"

This was exactly the same as the student regulations regarding entering and exiting the dormitory. So, Lin Yi patiently continued reading. Below the elevator hours, there was a conspicuous large font:

"Dear Participants, Welcome to the Dormitory Building."

"Please Note!!! (Super conspicuous underlined symbols):

Due to the existence of certain irresistible factors, the dormitory building is one of the most dangerous areas of the school!!!"

"Nevertheless, after you arrive at the dormitory, you can still have an absolutely safe sleeping environment!"

"To prevent accidents, please obtain the Dormitory Building Instructions (Rules) from the shelf below, read and strictly abide by the contents."

Lin Yi stared at the notice silently.

His gaze constantly shifted between [Due to the existence of certain irresistible factors, the dormitory building is one of the most dangerous areas of the school] and [Nevertheless, after you arrive at the dormitory, you can still have an absolutely safe sleeping environment]. A sentence appeared in his mind.

"You want to find Lu Xun, what does it have to do with Zhou Shuren?"

"So, the dormitory is the safest area, what does it have to do with the dormitory building being the most dangerous area?"

"This is too much..."

He had a lot he wanted to complain about, but when he thought of the gymnasium, which was known as 'one of the safest areas,' also having a completely non-existent dangerous path, the resentment in his heart suddenly dissipated.

"One of the most dangerous areas, huh? Damn it... This is definitely the 'S City University' vibe!"

He really wanted to ask Wei Liang, is this the place where you barely survived for the last two days?

But Wei Liang was waving at him: "Hey Lao Lin, what are you standing there for! Come get the rules! The elevator will open in a few minutes, hurry up!"

The dormitory building rules, unlike the cafeteria rules, didn't require them to be returned, nor like the gymnasium rules, which required a student ID to borrow them. It was just like a tourist map commonly found in scenic spots, neatly placed on a large row of shelves for people to take at will.

While speaking, Wei Liang directly took an extra copy and handed it to Lin Yi.

After Lin Yi took it, he turned his attention away from the notice and began to read the dormitory building rules:

"[S City University Dormitory Building Instructions (Rules)]"

"Dear Participants, please do not confuse these rules with the dormitory rules."

"For the safety of your life and property, you must follow these rules with firm awareness:

1. This dormitory has a total of 39 floors, each floor has 39 dormitory rooms and 1 dormitory management room."

"The dormitory room numbers are in the following format:

1st Floor: 0101, 0102... 0139;

2nd Floor: 0201, 0202... 0239;

...

39th Floor: 3901, 3902... 3939."

"When you encounter a dormitory room with a number that does not match, please remind yourself that you have misread it, and ignore all calls from that dormitory."

"Note: Abnormal dormitory rooms will never open the door on their own, unless!!! Invited by you. (The word 'unless' is circled and marked with huge '!!!' symbols)"

"2. The dormitory building is equipped with a large number of elevators for students to use. As long as it is between 6:00 ~ 7:40 and 21:00 ~ 22:00, you can use any elevator."

"Do not try to understand how the elevator works. (This sentence is underlined and marked with emphasis)"

"After exiting the elevator, please find your dormitory according to the dormitory number and swipe your student ID to enter."

"Note: Dormitories below the 10th floor can use the stairs to go up and down in emergencies, however, our school still does not recommend using the stairwell in the dormitory building."

"Do not go to the wrong dormitory!!!"

"Do not go to the wrong dormitory!!!"

"Do not go to the wrong dormitory!!!"

"3. Each floor of the dormitory building has a circular structure (the corridor looks like a smooth arc). The first dormitory room on each floor is next to the last dormitory room, connecting end to end. There will absolutely be no right-angle turns."

"If you find a right-angle turn ahead when looking for your dormitory, please turn around and tell yourself that there is no right-angle turn ahead, and then turn around again."

"Only proceed when you are sure that the front has returned to normal."

"Never think that you are seeing things and try to find your way to the dormitory by closing your eyes and reopening them."

"4. The power supply system in the dormitory building is uniformly managed by the school, and there are no switches in any area."

"During 6:00 ~ 7:40 and 21:00 ~ 22:00, the dormitory building will remain lit. It is forbidden to enter dark areas where there is no light."

"5. The dormitory building will turn off the lights 20 minutes after the specified time. Please ensure that you enter the dormitory before 22:00."

"If you have not left the dormitory after 7:40, or have not returned to the dormitory after 22:00, please immediately stop any current behavior, tear off the dotted line part of the rules as soon as possible, find the note in the interlayer of the rules, and go to the dormitory management office according to the instructions on the note."

"Note: You have 20 minutes to find the dormitory management office. You must arrive at the dormitory management office before the lights go out, otherwise our school will not be responsible for your life and property safety."

"Warning: If you tear off the dotted line part out of curiosity and see the note inside outside of an emergency, our school will also not be responsible for your life and property safety."

"6. The interior of the dormitory building is a closed environment. There will absolutely be no fog or wind."

"If you find fog appearing around you in the corridor, the air starts to become humid, the ground becomes tilted, distorted, stretched, and other abnormal conditions, please tear off the dotted line on the side of the dormitory building rules as soon as possible, hold the card hidden in the interlayer of the rules together with your student ID in your hand, and constantly recite your name and student ID number in your heart, and remind yourself 'I am in the dormitory building and will soon walk to the dormitory'."

"When you see a dormitory with a room number that matches the one you booked, swipe your student ID to enter immediately."

"During this period, you may be disturbed by a large number of external factors, but absolutely do not respond to any communication requests, especially calls from behind you!!! (Large, conspicuous font)"

“7. Never answer the door, regardless of whether it claims to be your roommate or the dormitory administrator.”

“Remember: Your roommate can use their student ID to enter the dormitory.”

“Your dormitory administrator will not conduct inspections in this manner.”

“8. The dormitory administrator does not have a fixed uniform but will carry a lamp and wear a dormitory administrator badge on their chest.”

“If you encounter the dormitory administrator or someone claiming to be the dormitory administrator on your way to the dormitory, please ignore them directly. If you cannot ignore them, please do not easily believe anything they say, nor respond to them.”

“Between 7:40 and 21:00, if you encounter the dormitory administrator or someone claiming to be the dormitory administrator, please ignore them directly.”

“After 22:20, if you have not yet found the dormitory administrator's office, please seek the dormitory administrator's help and unconditionally accept any assistance they provide, believing everything they say.”

“Please be sure to adhere to the above rules with firm conviction. If you inadvertently violate any of the above rules within the dormitory building, please rely on luck to seek help from the security guard.”

“Apart from this, based on the fact that 'the dormitory building is one of the most dangerous areas within the campus,' our school will not and cannot provide you with any assistance.”

“We wish you safety in your comings and goings.”

While reading the dormitory rules, Lin Yi's hands trembled slightly, and the question marks on his forehead multiplied.

After reading it all, he took a deep look at the notice board in front of the dormitory building.

He felt that the notice board was smiling at him, and even added a sentence: Young man, are you stupid? I didn't lie to you.

His mind was a little muddled. Wasn't this just a journey to return to the dormitory? Why did reading the dormitory rules give him a sense of déjà vu from 'Exodus'?

He took a deep breath, letting the cold night wind rush into his lungs, feeling the stinging sensation brought by the cool air in the wind, and only then did he feel alive.

“Dormitory building…”

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

He muttered to himself, raised his head, and looked at this insurmountable building like a natural chasm.

Coming to the dormitory building properly, he couldn't help but notice that the dormitory building in front of him still had some subtle differences from the dormitory building in his vision.

First of all, the shape of the dormitory building.

Traditional dormitory buildings are all square, but the dormitory building of S City University is a cylindrical building from the outside.

This cylindrical building is cut into 39 floors from bottom to top, just like 39 huge hula hoops stacked together.

And each hula hoop is divided into 20 parts, corresponding to 39 dormitories and 1 dormitory administrator's office, two by two.

To be honest, this building really has an unappreciable modern abstract style.

“Lao Lin, it's almost 9 o'clock,” Wei Liang reminded.

Lin Yi nodded and looked down at his watch.

20:59.

There was one minute left before the dormitory elevator opened.

He subconsciously slowed down his breathing. Judging from his past rich experience of "getting his shoes wet by the river," this time returning to the dormitory, it would be an accident if there were no accidents.

「What would happen if I followed the rules one hundred percent…」

Lin Yi decided to walk back to the dormitory with his "firm conviction."

“Liangzi… should we go back to the dormitory together?” Lin Yi suddenly said.

Wei Liang was slightly stunned, and then said: “What nonsense are you talking about? Are we two going to walk separately?”

Lin Yi's words stunned Wei Liang: “Liangzi, I feel like if you walk with me, something might happen.”

“But, you have rich experience in surviving in the dormitory, so it should be easy to return to the dormitory, right?”

“Damn, is your brain broken?” Wei Liang reached out and touched Lin Yi's forehead, “It's precisely because I have rich experience that I want to walk with you! Are you afraid of dragging me down?”

Lin Yi nodded.

“To be honest… I don't know why, this dormitory building gives me a feeling of both safety and danger.”

Wei Liang curled his lips and said: “Isn't that nonsense? The dormitory is safe, but the dormitory building is not safe enough, so of course there will be this contradiction.”

“In short, I have one sentence, even if the sky is falling, I will walk with you today.”

「Rumble…」

Above the high sky, a dull thunder suddenly rolled.

Wei Liang shrank his neck and cautiously looked at the sky.

Dense fog lingered above the clouds. The dim moonlight could no longer penetrate the clouds. The front of the dormitory building was dim, with only the limited lights still providing illumination.

The clouds were low and dark, and the high-altitude wind was breathing, suppressing the dull clouds. This must be another rainy night, but the raindrops were still brewing.

Lin Yi looked around and suddenly found that many students, after experiencing a psychological game, chose to give up entering the dormitory building. Stepping on the almost ankle-deep,森 white mist, they disappeared into the thick night, groping for the field formed by the streetlights.

They chose to return to the teaching building.

The student rules state:

【If you have not returned to the dormitory before 22:00, please return to the classroom at all costs. The lights in the classroom will not be turned off. Please wait in the classroom until 7:40 the next day before leaving.】

The teaching building rules state:

【After 21:00, it is forbidden to leave the classroom. Please study on your own until 7:40 the next day. During this period, if you see any abnormal situations outside the window or someone calling you outside the door, please ignore them.】

In other words, apart from the class teacher locking the door, you can return to the classroom for self-study at any time. The only difference is that once you enter, you are not allowed to leave.

Most of these people who left were experience students who came in on the first day.

They had more energy. On the one hand, they thought it didn't matter if they stayed up all night. On the other hand, they realized that the dormitory rules were wrong. Under the subconsciousness of self-protection, they chose to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Lin Yi and Wei Liang were naturally impossible to leave.

Not to mention that they had agreed with their roommates to meet in the dormitory before they came, but the continuous 24 hours of tossing since entering the school had made them exhausted and sleepy. They really needed to get a good night's sleep to recover their energy.

At this moment, 21:00 arrived.

The crowd began to wriggle towards the corridor of the dormitory building.

Lin Yi and Wei Liang followed the crowd forward.

But he quickly noticed a problem.

This dormitory elevator… why doesn't it need to wait?

He saw a group of people rushing into the elevator. After the elevator door closed, it opened again in a few seconds, but the original elevator space was empty.

「That's not right… There are 39 floors in total. Not to mention sending people up, how could it only take a few seconds to go back and forth?」

「What's going on?」
