Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat: "Did I miss something?!"

"Could the layer still be wrong?"

"Could it be that the person who went to the bathroom with me wasn't Liangzi from the start?!"

"Then where is the real Liangzi?"

Lin Yi quickly turned around to leave the men's room, but as soon as he turned, he bumped into someone. With a 'thud,' he almost saw stars.

"Ouch, what are you doing?" came Wei Liang's mournful cry. Lin Yi opened his eyes and saw Wei Liang had fallen on his butt from the impact, clutching his forehead in a daze, looking at him with resentment.

"Liangzi, what were you doing running behind me?" Lin Yi felt relieved, but couldn't help but complain.

"Damn, what do you mean I ran behind you? It's your ass that suddenly started moonwalking halfway through washing your hands, then rushed into the bathroom. I thought your craziness was acting up again, so I was going to call you, but you turned around and sent me flying!" Wei Liang was extremely resentful, gritting his teeth as he got up from the ground.

Lin Yi ignored Wei Liang's complaints and asked directly, "When did you finish peeing?"

"Damn, I finished peeing and went to wash my hands, and even called you! Didn't you even hum in response? Don't you remember?" Wei Liang widened his eyes. "You think I'm like you, never finishing peeing? I'm still a virgin, my pee can ward off evil!"

"You went out first? And even talked to me?" Lin Yi muttered to himself.

"What the hell, how come I don't remember anything? emmm... But I was thinking about things at the time, so I probably just hummed to brush it off. But even so, there's no way I wouldn't have any memory at all, right?"

Moreover, he felt that the events he experienced were very smooth. From him finishing his business and going out to wash his hands, to seeing the fake Wei Liang, to bumping into Wei Liang, there was no feeling of a layer shift at all!

Smooth and seamless!

It felt like he was experiencing a completely continuous event!

Even the time... was correct!

Lin Yi looked at the time on his watch—13:06.

No problem, no problem at all.

But... the truth is clearly not like that!

His body also synchronously completed the actions of encountering the fake Wei Liang in reality.

It's like his original road was a black silk, and then suddenly a section of the road was covered with white silk, and then he simultaneously experienced that section of black silk and white silk, and finally returned to the original black silk...

But the problem is, he doesn't remember what happened to the black silk part that was covered by the white silk.

"Memory gap!"

"My memory has a gap! Although it's only about a minute or so, but... I definitely lost that part of my memory!"

Wei Liang impatiently came up to him and waved his hand in front of him: "Did you pee your brains out?"

Lin Yi recovered a bit, then shook his head, indicating to Wei Liang that he wasn't stupid, then said seriously, "Me too."

"Huh? What?"

"Mine can also ward off evil."

Wei Liang was stunned, then unwilling to be outdone, said, "Mine is of higher quality."

"If it gets better with each use, then I'll acknowledge what you said."

"Damn! Get lost!" Wei Liang gritted his teeth.

The two exchanged a few more words, when suddenly, a terrified scream came from the direction of the women's restroom.

Lin Yi and Wei Liang exchanged a look, and immediately reacted, exclaiming at the same time: "Li Huiyuan!"

"Wait a minute, Liangzi, don't be impulsive!" Lin Yi reached out and stopped Wei Liang's body, "Be careful of being tricked, let's first... uh..."

After Wei Liang exclaimed, he didn't intend to run over at all, just standing there in place.

"You're the one who's anxious, Old Lin," Wei Liang touched his nose.

In fact, the actions of the two were surprisingly consistent—neither of them rushed towards the women's restroom, but instead calmly stayed in place.

In fact, since Lin Yi entered S City University, he has never acted impulsively. He is more passively immersed in thinking, and then forcibly reverses the situation and escapes the distorted layer. It's the first time he's encountered something urgent like this.

Lin Yi hasn't suffered from impulsiveness yet, but he doesn't plan to suffer from it at all.

The moment he heard Li Huiyuan's scream, an idea popped into his mind. What's strange is that this idea wasn't "Li Huiyuan is in danger, I must go save her," but a suspicion of this situation that arose after encountering the fake Wei Liang... "Is that really Li Huiyuan calling for help?"

"What to do, go over there?" Wei Liang asked for Lin Yi's opinion.

Lin Yi nodded slightly: "Advance slowly, it's not certain whether that's the real Li Huiyuan... But, we can't deny that it's really her asking for help."

If it really is Li Huiyuan calling for help, and he said he would help if he had the ability, but now he doesn't even bother to take a look, it's really too much to ask.

"Then..." Wei Liang hesitated.

Lin Yi knew Wei Liang's "style of play", knowing that he wanted to spend the seven days in the most cautious way, and didn't want to be dragged down by Li Huiyuan's affairs at all, so he said in a deep voice: "Liangzi, why don't you go back to the classroom first, and I'll go see Li Huiyuan?"

Wei Liang narrowed his eyes, seemingly thinking for a while, then shook his head: "I'll still follow behind you, if I find anything wrong with you, I can immediately interrupt you."

Lin Yi asked back: "Won't something happen like this?"

Wei Liang said: "I know what I'm doing."

Lin Yi was instantly moved, and then seemed to hear Wei Liang muttering in a low voice: "If I find it's not right, I'll run away immediately..."

Lin Yi cautiously went around the corner, and as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Li Huiyuan staggering from the women's restroom, her face full of panic.

"Student Lin! Student Lin!" She seemed quite frightened, and her steps were even more chaotic as she ran.

"Li Huiyuan!" Lin Yi's heart trembled slightly, and the action of welcoming her that had just sprouted in his heart suddenly zoomed in on the face of this "Li Huiyuan" like a pinhole camera lens!

He saw that the panic on "Li Huiyuan"'s face was actually a bit stiff, without any subtle changes in expression, as if it had been made on her face after precise calculations.

"That's not Li Huiyuan!" A chill suddenly rose on his back, causing his action that should have been to greet her to pause slightly, and a tendency to take half a step back appeared.

And "Li Huiyuan" was still running towards him, rapidly closing the distance between them.

"Run?" This thought appeared in Lin Yi's mind, but he immediately rejected this decision.

Although he didn't know whether this "Li Huiyuan" and the non-human classmates and sculptures had some similar logic, but from the fact that it could move in the corridor without direct sunlight, the "level" would definitely not be too low, it could only be overestimated, not underestimated, so he felt that if he wanted to run, he probably couldn't.

Then the only thing left is to go head-on.

Lin Yi forced himself to calm down and quickly observed the surrounding environment. The distance between him and Li Huiyuan was less than 20 meters, and he had to react quickly after observing the environment.

"Li Tongxue!" Lin Yi suddenly shouted, then ran towards "Li Huiyuan" in small steps. "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"Lao Lin! Something's wrong!" Wei Liang wanted to shout to stop him, but it was too late. Lin Yi was about to collide with Li Huiyuan!

"Lin Tongxue!" "Li Huiyuan" still had a look of horror on her face, and she staggered as if she was about to fall into Lin Yi's arms.

Lin Yi quickly pretended to help her, but just as his hand was about to touch Li Huiyuan, he suddenly dodged to the side like a Peking Opera master receiving an opponent's thrusting spear.

"Li Huiyuan" was caught off guard, and rushed forward for a distance like an athlete sprinting to the finish line suddenly slipping. Lin Yi quickly kicked its butt with a quick eye and hand, adding a force to it, making it rush out of the corridor, out of the steps, and fall onto the road outside the teaching building like a sandbag.

The blazing light of noon fell from the clouds, as if hundreds of millions of holy swords from the clouds nailed it to the ground of the teaching building.

Ignoring the texture feedback from that kick, Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at "Li Huiyuan" who had fallen outside the corridor, and then said in a deep voice: "You are not Li Huiyuan."

【You are not Li Huiyuan.】

"Li Huiyuan" heard these words, and her body trembled violently, as if she was about to lose some kind of protection.

"No… Lin Tongxue, I am Li Huiyuan! I am Li Huiyuan!!" It let out a painful roar, but some distorted textures appeared on its face, and even its voice became faintly distorted.

"No, you are not," Lin Yi said coldly.

These last four words, with a firm tone like iron, as if declaring its death sentence and剥夺 its identity, tore its disguise to shreds.

"No—I am—I am… I… Ah—"

"Li Huiyuan" still wanted to prop herself up from the ground with her hands, but with Lin Yi's declaration, it seemed to have lost some kind of self-anchoring ability, and the whole "person" twitched violently under the sunlight.

Soon its form began to become unstable, like rubber melting when heated, its face began to distort, becoming like disgusting sticky liquid and drooping to the ground, and its entire form began to constantly lose color with the wriggling, gradually turning into a mass of pure white plaster-like viscous liquid substance…

Strands of white mist permeated from its body like it was in a sauna, and then slowly diffused into the sky and evaporated away.

Looking at these white mists, Lin Yi's vision suddenly changed briefly, and the whole world in front of him turned into a black and white texture as high as an overexposed photograph, but in that black and white vision, that plaster liquid humanoid creature was not white but green!

Its body was flowing with that faint green fluorescent substance, and with the sunlight shining on it, these substances continuously evaporated from its body like purification, turning into a mixture of green powder particles and green smoke, rising into the air like smoke from a chimney.

This mixed gas, after being diluted by the air, completely dissipated, and even his current overexposed image quality vision could no longer observe it.

His vision gradually returned to normal after about six or seven seconds.

Six or seven seconds, this was the longest observation record for him, before the frame skipping was only two or three seconds.

But even though his vision had returned to normal, the plaster liquid humanoid creature had not stopped wriggling. It was becoming more and more like a lump of rubber, constantly wriggling under the sun, and the area at its edges became a dry, hard plaster-like substance after the white mist had completely evaporated.

As the white mist evaporated, more and more areas of its body began to harden, eventually turning into a sculpted version of a roughly humanoid form… a white Grimer.

And Lin Yi also discovered something—the white mist that could be observed in normal vision would be observed by him in the form of a green mixed gas in the overexposed image quality vision!

「This is the difference between normal white mist and abnormal white mist!」

「The white mist that represents pollution is actually a kind of green mist that normal people cannot observe!」

And that plaster liquid humanoid creature seemed to be a creature… or unit… that could move freely as long as it hid in the shadows.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi couldn't determine what it was attached to, because he hadn't encountered anything similar all day on May 7th.

Wei Liang looked at the lump of humanoid white Grimer sculpture on the ground in surprise, then looked at Lin Yi's foot, and suddenly showed a look of an old man on the subway looking at his phone: "Lao Lin, you… did you just kick this lump of human-shaped poop in the butt?"

Human-shaped poop… Lin Yi's face darkened, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely. He thought to himself, can't your focus be a little more normal?

"Thanks, I'm disgusted."

"But… is this considered 'dying in the light'?" Wei Liang showed a look of surprise, walked down the steps and pried off a stone and threw it over.

「Pa!」

The white Grimer sculpture instantly disintegrated, turning into countless sculpture fragments of different sizes, and then continued to crumble, eventually turning into some white powder particles, drifting away like sand…

Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang in surprise: "Liangzi… you?"

"Ah, this…" Wei Liang was also stunned in place.

The atmosphere froze for a while, and Wei Liang also had a sense of helplessness like Yu Chu Chu accidentally killing Dugu Jiansheng on the steps in front of the Tianxia Association.

"I didn't mean to!" he emphasized.

Lin Yi shrugged, suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed, "Go, let's go see Li Huiyuan!"

Wei Liang quickly put away his playful expression and followed Lin Yi towards the women's restroom.

Arriving in front of the women's restroom, Lin Yi hesitated, and shouted, "Li Huiyuan, are you still there?"

"Lin… is that Lin Tongxue?" Li Huiyuan's voice was extremely trembling, and accompanied by some confusion and fear, it came faintly from a corner deep inside the women's restroom.
