Rules-related weird stories: 4016

"Li Huiyuan, can you come out on your own?" Lin Yi asked from outside the door.

Inside the women's restroom, Li Huiyuan was curled up in the corner, hugging her legs tightly. Hearing Lin Yi's words, she finally raised her head from her knees. The flickering sparks of golden light in her eyes gradually faded away...

She struggled to get up from the ground, then walked towards the door with trembling steps. When she saw Lin Yi, a sense of security, as if a teammate had arrived, surged in her subconscious. Not caring whether the other person was real or not, she staggered over.

Lin Yi instantly observed her at lightning speed. After confirming that he didn't sense any resistance or danger from Li Huiyuan, he somewhat believed her identity.

But it wasn't until Li Huiyuan walked out of the women's restroom and reached the corridor where she could bask in the sunlight, without exhibiting any abnormal behavior, that Lin Yi was certain she was truly Li Huiyuan. Only then did he carefully support her and ask with concern, "What happened?"

Li Huiyuan didn't know that she had been thoroughly checked for counterfeit markings in just a few steps. After feeling the warmth brought by the sunlight, her emotions gradually calmed down. Then, she said, "Lin, I... I think I just saw a ghost!"

"Speak slowly, what exactly happened?" Lin Yi asked.

Li Huiyuan glanced at the direction of the women's restroom with lingering fear. "I... I went to wash my hands after using the toilet. After washing my hands, I tidied my clothes in front of the mirror. As a result, I realized that the me in the mirror wasn't moving at all..."

"I don't know what I was thinking at the time, but I subconsciously wanted to get closer to observe. Then, I saw it open its mouth as if it was saying something, but it didn't make any sound..."

"At that moment, my scalp went numb. At first, I thought it was the mirror, but I didn't expect it to be someone who looked exactly like me!"

"It looked exactly like me, and it was just standing in front of me! No, it... there was actually a window between it and me! Yes, it was looking at me from inside the window, saying something to me!"

Li Huiyuan hugged herself tightly. Recalling the scene just now, the fear in her heart couldn't help but surge up again, as if darkness was about to devour her.

"No, no, no... I... I seem to, seem to hear it saying something...?"

Li Huiyuan suddenly revealed a look of bewilderment, hesitating like a neurotic person experiencing auditory hallucinations. Her gaze focused on the blank space in front of her, as if she was listening to something...

"'I am Li Huiyuan...' , 'I am Li Huiyuan...' , it... is saying this, then, then who am I, who am I?!"

"No, I am Li Huiyuan! I am Li Huiyuan!!!"

She suddenly showed a look of pain, as if she had suddenly heard a sharp, piercing sound in her ears, or as if she didn't want to hear a certain sound anymore, lowering her head, hunching over, and covering her ears!

"Li Huiyuan!" Lin Yi quickly helped Li Huiyuan up. Just as his hands were placed on Li Huiyuan's shoulders, a bone-chilling coldness rushed directly into Lin Yi's palms along Li Huiyuan's shoulders.

Like a cold wave from Siberia passing through the vast plains and pouring into the mountains, a patch of cold frost instantly spread across Lin Yi's palm!

「Crap!」 These two words suddenly popped up in Lin Yi's mind.

It wasn't that he was in trouble, but that Li Huiyuan was in trouble!

Extreme cold, the body becoming like an ice block, this was one of the manifestations of a layer collapsing!

"Li Huiyuan! Li Huiyuan!" He kept calling Li Huiyuan's name, but Li Huiyuan's expression became more and more painful and struggling, as if she couldn't hear his voice at all.

「The sun!」 Lin Yi looked back at the sky. The bright sun shone in the clear sky. The place where they were was like a heated room, but even so, Li Huiyuan was still like a solid ice that couldn't be melted. It seemed that all the warmth couldn't be transmitted to the deep sea under the ice layer.

「Student ID card...?！」

「Damn! She doesn't have an 'identity certificate', so even under the sun, she doesn't have enough 'safe state'!」

「I was careless!」

He also found that he couldn't support Li Huiyuan at all. At this time, Li Huiyuan's body began to become as hard and heavy as a stone, as if she was really transforming into a stone in the snow...

At least, Lin Yi had already had this feeling!

「How can I pull her out of the depravity?」

Lin Yi began to recall Li Huiyuan's previous words. In this critical moment, his thinking was exceptionally active, and he immediately found the root of the problem.

【She is Li Huiyuan, then who am I?】

「Is it 'doubt'? She has fallen into doubt about her own identity!」

「Many rules in the student handbook require holding the student ID card in hand and then firmly saying one's name and student number in one's heart!」

「I understand! The reason for doing that is to tell yourself 'I have a student ID card' by holding the student ID card. Based on this, coupled with firm cognition, you can anchor your identity!」

「But Li Huiyuan lost her student ID card, and does not meet the conditions for self-anchoring in any way!」

「Her cognition of her own identity is collapsing!」

「'Identity certificate', 'identity certificate'...」 Lin Yi racked his brains to think of a solution. The corner of his eye suddenly swept to Wei Liang's foot.

The moment he saw Wei Liang, his mind exploded, and he thought of a way!

A way that he didn't know if it would work, but at least it could be considered "a way"——hypnosis, suggestion, or... deception!

He took out his notebook, tore off a page, and then folded it to make it have a certain hardness. Then, he stuffed this page of paper into Li Huiyuan's hand, while constantly saying in a low voice in her ear: "'You are Li Huiyuan, your student number is X0230507046', 'You are Li Huiyuan, your student number is X0230507046'..."

Gradually, Li Huiyuan seemed to hear his voice, and began to mutter like sleepwalking: "I am Li Huiyuan, my student number is X0230507046... I am Li Huiyuan..."

As she muttered, her body temperature also began to rise. Soon she recovered, and then, not knowing what she thought of, she lowered her head to look at her palm, and saw the folded piece of paper from the notepad.

"This... isn't my student ID card?" Knowing it was impossible, she still held a glimmer of hope. Now that her hope was dashed, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course not, this is an emergency measure... Please understand." Lin Yi explained, secretly relieved in his heart.

Li Huiyuan pursed her lips and hummed, recalling the feeling of being swallowed by the abyss before, she still felt very scared. At least she had saved her life now, and immediately said softly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Lin Yi shook his head, glancing at the direction of the women's restroom without leaving a trace, muttering four words in his heart—「Memory Discontinuity.」

Li Huiyuan was frightened at the washbasin outside the women's restroom, but in the end, she was in a corner deep inside the women's restroom. She didn't know what happened in between.

Secondly, she didn't mention that she screamed from fright, so wasn't that scream hers?

Lin Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes...

"Li Huiyuan said she saw a fake version of herself, and I saw a fake Liangzi!"

"I was thinking about Liangzi's matter, so that plaster-liquid humanoid creature was in Liangzi's shape; she must have been thinking about herself, so that plaster-liquid humanoid creature was in her shape!"

"Fake Wei Liang's lips were also wriggling at that time..."

"So...that kind of plaster-liquid humanoid creature anchors its own appearance through the thoughts of others, and then tries to disguise itself as the unit it is anchored to through 'self-hypnosis'."

"Is it like a fox spirit asking for recognition? Once both it and the other party have anchored that it is the person it's impersonating, then it can seize the identity of the person it's impersonating?"

"Is that the mechanism?"

"So when it ran towards me, as long as I recognized it as Li Huiyuan, then it would have gained the opportunity to continue anchoring itself, but I saw through its falsehood, so it couldn't anchor itself in front of me, and plus the 'death by sunlight', so it was directly finished?"

"Hiss..."

Lin Yi took a deep breath, feeling that his speculation was already very close to the truth of the matter, and no matter how he reasoned, he couldn't go any further without clues.

He patted Li Huiyuan's shoulder and asked, "Do you want to go back to the classroom?"

Li Huiyuan, who was calming her emotions, gradually regained her senses. Hearing this, she was stunned for a moment, and then realized something, and asked back, "Student Lin, aren't you going back to the classroom?"

Wei Liang also looked at Lin Yi in surprise. They had only agreed to go to the restroom just now. Did he have other plans?

Lin Yi shook his head slightly: "Not going back for now. It's still early. I plan to wander around the teaching building."

He glanced at his watch. The time was 13:18. The afternoon was still self-study time, and the cafeteria's dinner opening time was 16:00, so from now until 15:30, conservatively estimated, he had more than two hours to explore and run around the teaching building.

Wei Liang couldn't help but frown: "Is that 'wandering around'? You're looking for a death wish, Lao Lin! Why don't we just go back to the classroom?"

After Wei Liang finished speaking, he looked at Li Huiyuan: "Hey, you, quickly persuade him!"

Li Huiyuan pursed her lips and didn't speak, and then, as if she had made some kind of determination, she said: "When you wander around, take me with you."

"If I get contaminated, then I don't have a student ID card, so even if I stay in the classroom, it's not necessarily safe..."

"Take me with you. Being with you, I feel...I feel it might be a little safer."

"Don't you need cannon fodder? I'm your cannon fodder now...My condition is very bad, very dangerous. I feel like I'm being targeted by something. Just make good use of me. I'll accept it even if something unexpected happens."

She looked at Lin Yi calmly, like an enlightened Bodhisattva.

"Your kind of enlightenment makes me feel a little scared," Lin Yi couldn't help but say.

Li Huiyuan lowered her eyes slightly and didn't answer.

"Okay, okay, you guys are playing like this, right? Then I'll leave?" Wei Liang said speechlessly.

"Yeah, you go back to the classroom first. We'll go to the cafeteria together when I get back," Lin Yi said.

Wei Liang rolled his eyes: "What if you don't come back?"

"Damn, are you cursing me like that?" Lin Yi grinned.

Wei Liang shrugged: "Please, it's not me saying, but I feel like you, bro, are covered in flags right now! Do you still remember that you came here to subsidize your grandma's medical expenses?"

Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Remember? Good, then I'll go back to the classroom and wait for you guys first," Wei Liang waved his hand, walked around the corner, and headed towards Class 2 of Group B.

Lin Yi wasn't too worried about Wei Liang's safety. Wei Liang was, after all, someone who had survived here for seven days. Not only did he have strange skills, but he also had some unique skills that Lin Yi didn't even know about. Nothing would definitely happen in broad daylight.

Speaking of which, so far, Wei Liang has only shown some abnormalities in the dormitory building area. At other times, he really looks like a peerless expert disguised as a weakling, with a sense of great wisdom seeming like foolishness, or rather, great foolishness seeming like wisdom.

"Before, Young Master Tian said that one of us was greatly wise seeming foolish, and the other was greatly foolish seeming wise. If Liangzi is the greatly wise seeming foolish one, then wouldn't I be the greatly foolish seeming wise one? Am I...seemingly wise?"

"Emmm...it should only have been like that on the first day, right? I'm definitely not like that now."

"Li Huiyuan," Lin Yi suddenly said.

"Ah?" Li Huiyuan said.

"Do you think I seem wise or foolish?" Lin Yi asked.

"?"

Li Huiyuan was suddenly confused and said with a strange expression: "You don't seem mentally challenged...I feel like you're very smart..."

【Feels very smart.】

"Damn, simplify it, and isn't it 'seemingly wise'? !" Lin Yi pursed his lips and decided to give up on this question.

"Let's go take a look at the elevator first."

After separating from Wei Liang, he made his first decision.

Exploring the teaching building is a very vague concept. How to explore, what the path is, are all issues worth exploring, but Lin Yi has no specific plan.

In the end, exploring the teaching building is just walking through the areas of the teaching building that are allowed to be visited, and regarding the areas of the teaching building that can be visited, it can actually be judged from the teaching building rules.

【The teaching building has and only has four floors, no basement, no elevator, and no Building D. If you accidentally discover areas other than the four floors of the teaching building, you are prohibited from going there.】

【If anyone invites you to go to the above areas, please refuse. If you cannot refuse, please seek help from the nearest sports student or sports teacher. If necessary, you can seek help from the security guard.】

【Be vigilant against anyone who exhibits the above behavior. They are no longer the people you know.】

【There will be no people in the teaching building other than students, teachers, and patrolling security guards. If you encounter people who do not belong to the above categories, please return to your classroom as soon as possible. Do not pay attention to anything on the way, even if the teacher is calling you.】

The above is the content related to daytime in the teaching building rules, but it is applicable to ordinary experience students' "novice village."
