Rules-related weird stories: 4016

“Woo… … Woo… … Woo… …?!” Lin Yi quickly noticed that they were not phantoms, but something that truly existed.

They climbed in the dormitory building's corridor like spiders, and even though they were crawling on the ground, they gave him the feeling of arduously climbing a cliff.

These things seemed to be shrouded in a deathly pale mist, presenting a stiff posture and cyan-gray skin, looking like the sculptures in the stalactite caves, but their forms were more like inhuman classmates.

Lin Yi suddenly understood something. If two layers really existed with penetration and falling, then what was currently the corridor for him was a steep cliff perpendicular to the sea level for those inhuman entities.

That's why they were climbing so laboriously!

The layers of the two worlds seemed to have entered some kind of "superimposed state" in a twisted way.

To Lin Yi, these things were like virtual images, and as for whether Lin Yi existed for them, it was still unknown.

In the misty world, on the steep and slippery rock walls, the inhuman entities, like walking corpses, climbed towards the top of the cliff regardless of everything…

Lin Yi wasn't sure if what he saw was what Mao Feiyang saw, or if what he felt was what Mao Feiyang felt, but one thing he was sure of was that what Mao Feiyang felt would definitely be reflected back to him.

So he felt a sense of terror as if sinking into a quagmire.

He discovered that countless white powder particles were floating in the deathly pale mist, and these white powder particles were pouring into Mao Feiyang's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was like throwing a sponge into a dye vat, and in the blink of an eye, the sponge was dyed the color of the dye vat.

Mao Feiyang was almost defenseless and completely filled with pollution… and his mental state hadn't even reacted to these things.

As the pollution intensified, Mao Feiyang suddenly attracted the attention of all the inhuman entities around him like a bright flame in the night.

These countless lost souls, as if suddenly discovering the most delicious food in the world, turned their directions and looked at Mao Feiyang's location.

Under the thick fog, pairs of gloomy golden eyes unreservedly revealed greed and desire, like gazes from hell.

They emitted obscure and low-pitched syllables, communicating primitive signals with pronunciations that did not belong to this world at all, and then swarmed towards Mao Feiyang.

Just as Mao Feiyang was about to be swallowed, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the mist.

Lin Yi was suddenly shocked and couldn't help but look in the direction of the light beam.

「Da… … Da… … Da… …」

Footsteps echoed in the dark corridor, each step seeming to tread on Lin Yi's heart.

With the appearance of the footsteps, these inhuman entities quickly faded away as if they had encountered a nemesis, retreating into the mist like a tide.

The mist enveloped Mao Feiyang again. He looked at the beam of light in the mist with fear and uncertainty, feeling a trace of comfort for some reason.

Being in the darkness, yearning for the light.

This was perhaps the desire for light of all normal creatures.

Lin Yi suddenly realized that the water stain under his butt had disappeared, and the slippery, moss-covered stone beside him had also disappeared…

The floor had returned to his side, but "his" pants were still wet, and "his" hands still seemed to be stained with some moss…

But none of this mattered for the moment. His gaze followed Mao Feiyang and fell on the beam of light, on the sound of footsteps echoing in the dim corridor.

The figure was getting closer and closer to him. The scene was like a surveyor with a strong flashlight coming to rescue him in a dusty, collapsed cave.

It wasn't until the footsteps arrived in front of him that Lin Yi saw the other person's appearance clearly.

Aside from holding an old kerosene lamp, this was a young man who looked about the same age as them, with dyed yellow hair and a slightly dirty jacket.

His face was pale, his lips were purple, and there were dark circles under his eyes, looking very haggard, as if he hadn't closed his eyes for days.

Lin Yi noticed that the young man himself was also trembling, and even though he was holding an old kerosene lamp in his hand, he was very afraid, giving people the feeling that he was a coward who still had to rely on the old kerosene lamp to muster up the courage to venture into a haunted house.

He slowly walked up to Mao Feiyang, bent down, and held the old kerosene lamp in front of Mao Feiyang.

“Excuse me… please show me your student ID.”

He mustered up his courage and asked in a trembling voice.

It wasn't until he was enveloped in the light of the old kerosene lamp that the fear in Mao Feiyang's heart was dispelled a little. When he heard the other party asking about his student ID, his mind was still a little dazed.

He tried hard to recall the things related to the student ID mentioned in the student code, but he suddenly realized a problem: "I… don't have a student ID."

The young man's gaze obviously flickered: “Then… please show me… a student commemorative coin?”

“Student commemorative coin?” Mao Feiyang's mind became more and more confused.

A somewhat familiar name, he seemed to have seen it somewhere.

Oh right… still in the student code.

“Isn't that thing… not allowed to be bought?” He looked dazed, “I don’t have it…”

The young man took half a step back, his eyes frightened and alert, protecting the old kerosene lamp in front of him: “Are you a sports student… or an art student?”

Mao Feiyang shook his head: “I just enrolled today… I haven’t received anything yet.”

The young man was stunned for a moment, then muttered something like "If you encounter a student who does not meet the above conditions," then looked at Mao Feiyang, took a deep breath, and said: "Are you looking for the art teacher?"

Mao Feiyang's eyes lit up, as if a drowning person had grabbed a life-saving straw: “Yes, yes, yes, I want to find the art teacher!”

“Then come with me.” The young man took a deep breath, lifted his jacket, revealing a section of iron chain tied around his waist.

“Hold the iron chain in one hand, put the other hand on my shoulder, then close your eyes and follow me until I tell you ‘You can open your eyes’, then you can open your eyes, understand?”

Mao Feiyang shouldn't have trusted anyone, but the other party was holding an old kerosene lamp. Although he looked unreliable, but… he had no choice but to trust the person in front of him.

“Okay, okay, okay… I’ll follow you, I’ll follow you…” Mao Feiyang almost lost his ability to think, quickly got up and grabbed the section of iron chain, and reached out to put his hand on the young man’s shoulder.

The young man took a deep breath, took a step, and then walked to the door of dormitory 「2819」, reached out… and knocked on the door of the dormitory.

“Are they all asleep?”

“…”

The previously restless dormitory "2819" suddenly became deathly silent.

"It's good that they're asleep," the young man muttered to himself, reaching out to grasp the doorknob of dormitory 2819, and gently pressed it.

"Click!"

With a soft sound, all the latch bolts inside the door seemed to malfunction, and he opened it on the spot.

Just as the young man was about to push the door open, he suddenly thought of something.

"Close your eyes."

"Ah... Oh, oh... Okay."

Mao Feiyang quickly squeezed his eyes shut.

"Remember, keep them tightly closed, no matter what you hear, absolutely, absolutely do not open them unless I personally tell you to."

"How... How will I know it's really you saying it?"

"You will know."

After the young man finished speaking, he pushed open the door.

And when Mao Feiyang closed his eyes, Lin Yi's vision also turned pitch black, but Lin Yi was still deeply shocked.

The newest novels are first published on [6][9][book][bar]!

Mao Feiyang didn't know who he had encountered, but Lin Yi knew.

"The Dormitory Manager! That is definitely the Dormitory Manager!"

Dormitory Rule 2 "Special Circumstances Edition" states that: [The security guard or dormitory manager has a lamp in their hand, and this lamp is the only element that identifies their identity.]

And as long as you stay by the Dormitory Manager's side, the "safe state" will not be broken!

So, it was clear that the Dormitory Manager brought Mao Feiyang to the Arts Building. This thought flashed quickly through Lin Yi's mind.

After confirming that Mao Feiyang's safe state was not a problem, another strong question arose in Lin Yi's mind: "How did Maozi get there?"

"Could there be another 'non-existent road,' like the stairwell connecting the teaching building and the dormitory building, connecting here with... the Arts Building?"

At this moment, as the Dormitory Manager pushed open the door of dormitory "2819", an extremely pungent fishy smell rushed out from the crack in the door, fiercely assaulting his nostrils.

This smell was so strong, like putting a piece of wood rotting in seawater into a mud pit filled with stinky fish and rotten shrimp and burying it for a long time, and then taking it to the dormitory and hanging it up.

With a gust of wind, this corpse-like stench, as if drifting out of hell, immediately made people feel what it's like to have their life flash before their eyes.

"Are they all asleep...?" The Dormitory Manager patrolled the dormitory with an old kerosene lamp, and the dormitory was filled with rustling sounds.

Lin Yi couldn't see anything, so he could only use his hearing to "brainstorm the scene."

Then he heard the Dormitory Manager stop, and then lower his voice: "You... don't seem to be people from this dormitory, do you?"

Immediately, a large "rustling" sound came from the dormitory, like countless insects crawling in the sand, Lin Yi judged through hearing that these things were probably moving constantly against the walls, seemingly avoiding the Dormitory Manager's patrol.

He felt a great sense of oppression, as if he had accidentally fallen into a sewer and been surrounded by rats, but the warm light cast by the old kerosene lamp gave him a little sense of security.

The Dormitory Manager gently patted Lin Yi's hand, not knowing whether he was comforting Lin Yi or comforting himself: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

His body and voice were obviously trembling, so much so that Lin Yi always felt that this Dormitory Manager was very strange.

The Dormitory Manager started to move, and he followed the Dormitory Manager, and then, based on his judgment of the dormitory, he guessed that the Dormitory Manager had come to the window.

He felt gusts of wind blowing in from outside the window, and vaguely heard the sound of running water and waves, as well as the sound of the wind breaking as unknown objects fell rapidly outside the window...

But soon the Dormitory Manager closed the window, and then went to the bathroom to close the last window in the dormitory as well.

After all the windows were closed, the only connection between the world outside the window and the dormitory was severed.

Then, the Dormitory Manager stopped in the center of the dormitory.

Through the perception of temperature changes, Lin Yi felt that the Dormitory Manager should have raised the old kerosene lamp.

He didn't know how long the Dormitory Manager had been holding up the old kerosene lamp, but the "rustling" sound in the dormitory became less and less, and eventually disappeared completely.

"Huff..."

The Dormitory Manager let out a long sigh of relief, and then took Lin Yi out of dormitory "2819", turning around and entering dormitory "2820" in the same way...

Time passed slowly, and the Dormitory Manager carried the old kerosene lamp, checking the dormitories one by one with Mao Feiyang.

Throughout the whole process, Lin Yi could clearly feel the changes in the Dormitory Manager's heartbeat, his fear seemed to be more than anyone else's, and his body became colder and colder, and he trembled more and more violently.

Later, he mechanically repeated the process of checking the dormitories like a walking corpse, until he completed the inspection of dormitory "2839" and left, closing the door.

Then, he continued to move, and Lin Yi's heart stirred.

Each floor of the dormitory building has 39 dormitories, and dormitory number 1 and dormitory number 39 are adjacent, but at this time, the Dormitory Manager seemed to be taking him to a location between dormitory 39 and dormitory 1...

"Is it the Dormitory Manager's office? Is there a road in the Dormitory Manager's office that leads to the Arts Building?" Just as Lin Yi was harboring this guess, a familiar sound of wind came from ahead.

Soon, a "clang... clang!" sound came from in front of him.

Lin Yi's heart jumped: "It's the elevator!"

The Dormitory Manager took Mao Feiyang into the elevator.

For some reason, a hint of disappointment couldn't help but surface in Lin Yi's heart.

If the Dormitory Manager finished checking the dorms, and then took Mao Feiyang away from the dormitory by elevator, and took him to the Arts Building... although it sounded reasonable, but... for some reason, Lin Yi always felt a sense of loss that didn't match his expectations.

Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little strange, shouldn't he hope that the campus is normal?

Why did he feel that it shouldn't be so safe when the logic seemed very normal?

He couldn't help but shake his head, thinking what kind of masochistic psychology he had...

But the Dormitory Manager's next action was telling him - you guessed right.

He heard the sound of something flipping open, and then, the Dormitory Manager seemed to heavily press a button.

"Huh?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned, this didn't sound like the sound of pressing the elevator floor.

He recalled the elevator buttons and suddenly remembered that there was a "↑" button covered by a cover at the top of the button row.

"Could it be that the Dormitory Manager opened that cover just now and pressed that '↑' button?"

Lin Yi felt that his guess should be correct, because as the elevator door closed, the entire elevator began a continuous acceleration process.
