Rules-related weird stories: 4016

#99 - The underlying logic of the inhuman classmate's murder

"Wait! Wait wait wait! ! ! "

Lin Yi suddenly thought of something, and a dazzling lightning flashed across the back of his head like a thunderclap.

He seemed to grasp a certain inspiration in that instant, and this inspiration seemed to point directly to the underlying logic of the non-human classmates' killing mechanism!

"'Eliminate attention'… … 'Ignore'… … 'Don't look at them'… …"

"'Don't look back'… …"

"'Gaze'… …"

He repeatedly chewed on these keywords, his brain running rapidly. A distorted framework appeared in his mind, as if he only needed to string these things together with the correct clues to obtain an underlying logic!

"Still missing a clue… …"

"What's missing… …What's missing? ! "

He grabbed his hair, feeling the pain of solving a problem at a crucial point.

Suddenly, he noticed those dust-like white powder particles, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his eyes!

"Still missing the last piece of the puzzle—'Pollution'!"

"I understand!"

"I understand! ! !"

"Whether it's 'don't look back' when walking around campus and hearing sounds behind you; or 'staring at the table legs' when you hear strange noises after the lights are turned off in the classroom… …all are to prevent the test subjects from directly looking at those non-human entities!"

If it were last night, Lin Yi would have stopped at deducing "1+1=2," but now that he had more conditions, he could deduce one or even more steps on this basis—just like Tian Bufan.

That is, why do the rules prevent test subjects from directly looking at non-human classmates!

It must be because directly looking at them will subvert their inherent cognitions. Once cognition problems occur, they will lose their anchor and inadvertently lose themselves in the distorted layers. Even if they can eventually pull themselves back from the "wet shoes by the river" state, their feet will already be stained with river water.

And the river water is the white powder particles, it is the pollutant!

As long as there is one such phenomenon, the whole person will open the beginning of being polluted. From that time on, pollution will be wandering around them all the time, like ubiquitous water droplets, once cracks appear in their thoughts, it will invade their will.

Just like… …he has hallucinations at every turn!

Exaggeratedly, just a thought can directly cause the suffocation of falling through the layers!

"So! Violating student rules will lead to self-pollution, thereby attracting pollutants, and those non-human classmates, as heavily polluted individuals, must also be able to sense the existence of pollutants to a certain extent, just like me now!"

In other words, seeing things beyond one's own cognitive range will cause one's own cognition to collapse. Once cognition collapses, it will lead to the loss of the anchor, thereby attracting pollution.

When pollution begins, the layer in which one is located will fluctuate due to various factors, thereby losing the "safe state." If one cannot re-establish cognition to stop this vicious cycle, one will continue to sink, and eventually… …be swallowed by pollution.

"So, the non-human classmate noticed me, and part of the reason is that I myself have already been polluted!"

"In other words, because I'm fucking unclean, I'll be noticed by them wherever I go?"

"This is fucking… …"

Lin Yi clearly understood a chain of logical judgments and should have been happy about it, but the absurd feeling that he, as the problem solver, has now become part of the problem made him unable to be happy no matter what.

But from another perspective, Tian Bufan was not chased after looking directly at a non-human classmate at night. Could it be because he had already accepted this part of the logic, so he had already overwritten the relevant cognition?

"Damn! Everything makes sense now! No wonder Young Master Tian started reminding me to 'adapt' when he met me in the gymnasium!"

Lin Yi initially thought that what Tian Bufan wanted to express was "adapting to the abnormalities of the campus," but now it seems that it is not about adapting at all, but rather—"adapting to the changes brought about by pollution," overwriting one's own cognition, so as to gradually enter this magnetic field!

"Wait a minute… …doesn't that mean that Young Master Tian has already accepted the fact that he is polluted?"

"When did he realize it?"

"Could it be that he knew these things from the beginning… …? ! "

Just then, the sound of a mechanism being pulled came from the door of the art classroom… …

Lin Yi was startled. When he turned around, he saw a large group of people walking into the art classroom.

Lin Yi found a few of these people familiar. They seemed to be the fellow travelers who were sitting not far in front of him on the blue bus. These people ignored the driver's obstruction and got off the bus early under the instigation of that sailor-suit girl and entered the campus, and then were abducted by the strange art teacher.

Looking at it this way, they did arrive at the art building through an unknown route, but obviously, what they obtained was not the normal art student route.

Sure enough, Lin Yi saw the girl wearing a hairpin and sailor suit in the crowd again.

However, these people were all black in the face, their eyes were slightly scattered, their spirits were even more trance-like, and there seemed to be a cloud of yin energy lingering between their eyebrows.

In more metaphysical terms, it means that everyone's yintang is black, carrying ominous signs. Lin Yi doesn't know what they experienced on that route to the art building, but it really looks like they have walked through hell.

Suddenly, Lin Yi noticed that these people were floating with a hazy halo. These halos were composed of white powder particles, and at the same time, they were flashing green spots like fireflies, looking like they were coated with fluorescent agents.

Mao Feiyang shuddered fiercely. He clearly felt a faint hostility from these people.

To be more precise, it should be—malice.

After they entered the classroom, the surrounding temperature visibly dropped, and they were like radioactive sources of pollution, releasing the green pollutants that could not be observed with the naked eye but could be sensed through perception with their breathing.

Those things exuded a vicious aura, just like the poisonous substances extracted by evil alchemists in potion bottles.

This kind of thing is discharged from the body by the sailor-suit girl and others through the exchange of breathing with white powder particles.

Throughout the whole process, those people were like performing some kind of special photosynthesis.

"What the fuck is this body structure?" Lin Yi was stunned. "How long has it been? They have been transformed into that kind of strange human-shaped pollution-emitting device?"

He suddenly thought that when he was eating at noon, he "sensed something" outside the cafeteria. After looking over, he saw this sailor-suit girl. At that time, the sailor-suit girl also sensed something and then looked at him.

Originally, he thought this was just a simple matter of seeing and being seen, but now it seems… the truth isn't that simple.

Back then, he didn't know what pollution was, and he didn't know if the sailor-suited girl knew what pollution was either.

But the basic truth was—after being polluted, he vaguely sensed the malicious green pollutants emanating from the sailor-suited girl and looked over.

Then, the sailor-suited girl also sensed some of the white pollutants on him…

Thus, the previous scene occurred.

What the hell was that about 'a telepathic glance'? It was simply a 'hunter's gaze'.

«Eh, wait… So, the ability Xu Shunkang mentioned to distinguish between art students and experience students, could it be through sensing the green powder particles?»

Lin Yi felt he had deduced another useful piece of information.

«The information I've obtained clearly falls within my cognitive range. I should be able to verify it with Xu Shunkang later, right?»

He had already passed the 'don't think' threshold, entered the magnetic field, and was still understanding more and more about the magnetic field through 'thinking'.

When the layers change and he is powerless to reverse the world, then he will reverse himself.

As long as there is enough cognition, there will be enough anchors.

Once there are enough anchors, would he still be afraid of not being stable?

He couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth. Despite being in a wicked world, he still had some strange feelings of 'thriving' and 'the situation is excellent'.

He didn't know if it was just an illusion.

But soon, he felt a chill on his back—Mao Feiyang's cold sweat pulled him back to his senses.

The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

At the same time, Mao Feiyang shrank his neck, burying himself deep, as if he didn't want to be noticed by anyone.

Lin Yi took the opportunity to look at the group of sailor-suited girls.

As the last person in the group walked into the art classroom, the door was suddenly blocked by an external force just as it was about to close. At the same time, the eerie art teacher's cold and hoarse voice slowly sounded from outside the door:

“Have you forgotten what the first thing to do upon entering is?”

The person walking at the end of the line was a young man wearing camouflage pants and carrying a backpack. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but tremble.

Countless ripples flashed like a tide in his somewhat distracted eyes, from bewilderment to doubt, then to vigilance, and finally to fear.

He struggled for a long time, but in the end, he didn't open the door. Instead, he tried to pull the door shut, but the eerie art teacher and the others in the corridor blocked it, making it impossible to close.

After several unsuccessful attempts, his expression changed drastically. Then, he gave up closing the door and chose to move away from the area where the door was located.

He stumbled down the stairs, occasionally looking back at the situation of the door. In the end, due to distraction, he accidentally stepped on air and rolled down quite a distance before stopping.

After getting up, his head was bleeding, but his eyes still surged with indelible fear and panic.

“So… is there a good child who can open the door for the teacher?”

The eerie art teacher's sinister voice echoed in the corridor, accompanied by a series of high heels stepping on the ground, indicating that she was pacing back and forth at the door.

This bizarre scene precisely confirmed Lin Yi's guess that the uninvited eerie art teacher and the others could not enter the art classroom!

Therefore, even though they were already blocking the door of the art classroom, they had not shown any intention of coming in.

Hearing the art teacher's voice, a lot of fluctuations obviously flashed in the eyes of those people. Some hesitated to open the door, but the previous young man quickly stopped them, shouting:

“What do you want to do! What exactly do you want to do?!”

“Have you forgotten what they did?”

“They will kill you! Don't open the door! Don't open the door for them!!!”

In the end, the girl in the sailor suit silently walked to the door, and while pushing the door open, she said to the outside:

“Teacher, please come in.”

«Huff…»

The door of the art classroom was slowly opened, and the cold sea breeze mixed with a trace of chill invaded the warm art classroom, instantly lowering the temperature in the entire classroom…

«Tap, tap, tap…»

The eerie art teacher slowly walked into the classroom with those student cadres, their sinister gazes swept across the scene like sharp blades, and finally landed on the young man.

“The teacher said… being chosen by us is a kind of grace.” The eerie art teacher lightly raised a hand, “Bring him over.”

A student behind the eerie art teacher immediately walked towards him.

“Don't come over! Don't come over!!!” The young man retreated in panic and accidentally bumped into an art student who was intently watching the mural stone carvings and experiencing artistic influence.

The art student suddenly regained his senses and noticed the existence of this young man and the eerie art teacher and the others.

He stood up directly from his seat and shielded the young man behind him with one arm: “Cultist, leave this place!”

The eerie art student was blocked by the art student, and couldn't help but frown: “Get out of my way…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the art student suddenly reached out and grabbed his face, interrupting his words and pressing him to the ground.

«Bang!»

With a muffled sound, the eerie art student was directly smashed to the ground and fainted on the spot.

“Who is talking to you, idiot…” The art student glanced disdainfully at the eerie art student who was instantly defeated by him, then raised his eyelids and looked unkindly at the eerie art teacher, “I'll say it one last time, leave this place… before sunrise.”

The art teacher remained unmoved, but smiled, “Anyone from the art department can stay in the art classroom, can't they? You quietly feel your things, we honestly develop our network, everyone minds their own business, isn't that good?”

The art student's gaze swept over the sailor-suited girl and the others, and frowned: “They stay, you leave.”

“I can leave the people behind, but…” The eerie art teacher shook her head slightly, her gaze falling on the young man from the beginning, “You have to hand him over to me, then we will leave.”

“It seems my warning has had no effect.” The art student stood up.

The eerie art teacher raised a signature stiff smile at the corner of her mouth: “Although there isn't enough time, if I have to force my way in… can you stop me?”
