Rules-related weird stories: 4016

With Lin Yi's current scope of awareness, he obviously wouldn't be restricted by these rules. In Tian Bufan's words, he had already broadened the boundaries of his awareness and expanded the range of the "newbie village."

Therefore, the applicability of some rules had been extended. For example, the first rule, for him, meant that [the teaching building has more than four floors, a basement, an elevator, and Building D]. However, despite this, he still needed to abide by the rule of [no entry].

Because "having" and "not having" relate to awareness, while "going" relates to action.

Knowing what a crime is and committing a crime are two fundamentally different things.

And the exploration of the teaching building is precisely the exploration of these re-recognized things.

For example, the area above the fourth floor of the teaching building. I won't go there, but it doesn't prevent me from standing on the fourth floor to see if there is a fifth floor, when a fifth floor will appear, and what the fifth floor looks like.

For example, the teaching building has an elevator. I won't ride it or invite others to ride it, but it doesn't prevent me from observing the elevator.

And... Building D of the teaching building. I won't go there, but it's okay to observe it from a distance, right?

Lin Yi wouldn't think about any of these things if they exceeded his awareness. He would only record them and discuss them with Tian Bufan after returning to the dormitory.

In fact, he had already come into contact with the basement floor of the teaching building, the elevator, and Building D. At that time, his awareness was even shaken, and it was at that time that he experienced his first cognitive overwrite.

And now, he has simply gone from "seeing a tiger in a cage from a distance" to "observing a tiger up close through a cage." Moreover... he doesn't need to observe it himself; he can let Li Huiyuan observe it.

It's like flying a kite, and he's the one holding the string.

This is the correct way to use the cannon fodder tactic.

Cold-blooded? Yes, cold-blooded.

But this is inherently a transaction of mutual benefit, and necessary cold-bloodedness.

For Li Huiyuan, the rusty sword will break. Only by quenching it with fire to remove the rust and re-forging it can it have a chance to be reborn.

Perhaps the rusty sword will be destroyed in this process, but Li Huiyuan has already chosen this path, so Lin Yi should also be ruthless.

...

The elevator in the teaching building is located on another path extending from the corner. You only need to walk along the road back from the toilet for a while, and then turn straight to reach it.

May 8, X023, 13:23.

Lin Yi looked down at his watch, and a thought flashed in his mind: [In 7 minutes, the cafeteria will close, right...]

At this time, Li Huiyuan flipped the folded piece of paper in her hand and suddenly said, "Lin, do you think if I pretend this is a student ID, can I deceive myself and get through the seven days?"

Lin Yi interrupted mercilessly: "You're bewitched. The student ID can't open the dormitory door."

"Then I won't go back to the dormitory. I'll stay up in the classroom, or I'll just wait until I get back to the dormitory and go directly to the dormitory management office. After the time has passed, I'll just spend the night in the dormitory management office?"

"Putting aside the fact that you can't stay awake in the classroom for seven days, the situation in the dormitory management office is completely unknown. It's hard to say what will happen after you go there." Lin Yi thought of the haggard look of the dormitory manager. He didn't know if the dormitory management office was safe.

After all, even in the gymnasium, which is known as one of the safest areas, there is a green-aproned chef who asks you if you want a fresh tomato!

Who knows what the dormitory management office is like.

"Also, you can't swipe your card, you can't buy food, how do you solve the problem of eating? Student commemorative coins are free, but you can't eat them." Lin Yi added.

Li Huiyuan pouted: "I heard... that ready-to-eat food bought in the store can be given to others to eat."

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect this.

[Okay, Li Huiyuan is indeed an extension of my awareness...]

[However, the snacks in the store only have the effect of filling the stomach, not purifying pollution.]

[But forget it. If I mention this, I have to waste more words explaining some common knowledge, which can easily cause some cognitive problems for her...]

Lin Yi shook his head: "We haven't reached the end of the road yet, so don't consider this matter for the time being. You should first think about how to obtain student commemorative coins."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Huiyuan nodded lightly. For her, Lin Yi, who pulled her back from the abyss, was her only backbone.

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the area in front of the elevator. At this time, Lin Yi stopped Li Huiyuan: "Just here, don't get close yet."

Li Huiyuan was a little dazed, but she stopped.

Lin Yi continued: "Observe the environment in front and tell me what you see."

Li Huiyuan nodded and said okay without any objection, and then began to observe the elevator room.

While Li Huiyuan was observing the environment in front, Lin Yi was observing Li Huiyuan's situation while paying attention to the passage of time on his watch. Once she had any abnormal changes, he would quickly pull her back from the abnormal state.

The relationship between the two seemed to have undergone a subtle change at this moment. It wasn't that they had reached some kind of bond, but... it felt more like a visually impaired patient and his guide dog.

Half a minute passed, a minute passed, and Li Huiyuan had no abnormal reaction.

"Okay." Lin Yi patted Li Huiyuan on the shoulder, "Did you find anything? Green mist, or see some strange things, or have some hallucinations, anything that feels problematic, you can tell me."

However, Li Huiyuan shook her head: "I didn't find anything."

"Oh... okay." Lin Yi responded with a long tone, and then said, "Now you stand behind me, and I'll observe."

"What should I do?" Li Huiyuan asked.

Lin Yi said: "You observe me. If you feel that I have some abnormalities, or your intuition gives you an ominous premonition, you wake me up immediately."

"Wake up?"

"Yes, you will know when you encounter that kind of situation." Lin Yi stopped talking and focused his attention on the space in front, observing the environment of the elevator room.

Now he is located five meters directly in front of the elevator. From here, there is a completely dark small passage. At the end of the passage is a somewhat narrow corner, and an elevator is there.

He looked up at the ceiling. He is now in the place where the last corridor light is laid.

In other words, that section of space ahead relies solely on natural light refracted from the walls for illumination. Once night falls, even if all the incandescent lights in the teaching building are turned on after 6:00 PM, they won't be able to illuminate that area of the elevator lobby.

It's as if it's a conceptually dark area, a corner that even light seems unable to reach.

Under abnormal weather conditions, Lin Yi wouldn't have given it a second glance and would have turned around and left. But now, he dares to take this step only because he has the advantage of favorable weather.

He quietly observed the elevator, but like Li Huiyuan, he didn't see anything unusual.

He patiently waited for about two more minutes, but the exposure quality of the vision didn't appear at all.

Li Huiyuan didn't speak, silently waiting for Lin Yi's results.

Finally, Lin Yi shook his head, shaking his head helplessly: "I still need to get closer to observe."

In fact, according to Tian Bufan's idea, the best thing to do is to directly press the "↑" button on the elevator and take a look inside after the elevator door opens.

Generally speaking, if you can see the inside of the elevator, especially the row of floor buttons, you will definitely be able to get a lot of information.

Lin Yi thought of Mao Feiyang's predicament, and after a series of mental storms in his mind, he finally decided to press the "↑" button to see.

If he had to press that button sooner or later, he might as well press it while the weather was still good.

Li Huiyuan noticed the change in Lin Yi's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly: "Do you need me to press it?"

“I'll do it.” Lin Yi shook his head. Li Huiyuan doesn't have a safe state. It is impossible to predict what will happen if you press this button, but he can.

So he took a deep breath, and then slowly walked towards the elevator door.

This step was extremely heavy. From the moment he took this step, it meant that he and Tian Bufan were standing on the same front—a path to explore the campus, and then to rescue Mao Feiyang while facing all the weird problems of the campus.

The distance of five meters didn't require a few steps to walk, and when Lin Yi stepped into that dark corner, even if he had made enough psychological preparations, even if his understanding had been sufficiently broadened, even if his will had been strong enough, he still felt the engulfing sensation like the abyss's giant mouth…

The pitch-black shadows, like viscous black glue, wrapped around him from all directions, and the cold air seemed to be mixed in the cold wind full of ice slag, rushing towards his face.

He subconsciously glanced at his watch.

13:30.

At this time, the cafeteria was already closed.

He glanced at his clothes again.

No frost.

So the cold feeling was just the feeling he got from the surrounding environment, and his coating didn't change in any way.

「I'm in the teaching building.」He stabilized his will, then came to the elevator and pressed the "↑" button.

A slight sense of feedback was transmitted to Lin Yi's hand along the texture of the "↑" arrow, icy cold, very normal, without any abnormal feeling.

「Ding!」

A crisp ring immediately sounded in the elevator.

Lin Yi was slightly stunned.

Huh? This elevator stopped directly on this floor?

Just as he was stunned, a series of sounds of mechanical parts starting to operate sounded inside the elevator, accompanied by a "clang—", and the elevator door opened to both sides.

As the elevator door opened, Lin Yi saw a terrifying scene that made his hair stand on end and would be unforgettable for the rest of his life—he saw that the extremely limited space inside the elevator was densely packed with non-human students.

The reason why it is said to be creepy is because this kind of "crowded" is not the kind of crowding on a bus in the traditional sense, but another kind of crowding that feels shocking and disgusting at first sight, and is extremely "tense".

Those non-human students were "filled" into the elevator like boneless flesh by an invisible force. The entire elevator car was full of this form of "students", full of curved, twisted, deformed, and wriggling flesh that filled the field of vision…

On this "section" after the elevator door opened, Lin Yi saw no less than twenty twisted palms alone, and it was even more difficult to distinguish the heads. He could only judge whether that part was a head through the large eyeballs protruding from the flesh.

It is hard to imagine what kind of "storage genius" could knead such a huge number of non-human students together and fill them into such a narrow and cramped elevator car.

And at this moment, Lin Yi's position happened to be about thirty centimeters before the "section" after the elevator door opened…

He was like a person groping forward slowly in the dark, suddenly opening a strange palace dormant in the dark abyss. At the moment the palace door opened, he faced the ordinary person of the "art works" of the palace with extremely ancient Cthulhu and abstract crazy school.

This Cthulhu style, which is completely different from the normal current world style, drilled into his mind like a violent hurricane, making him seem to see an abstract, wriggling mural in a trance…

He seemed to recognize the abstract line texture, it seemed to be… the murals in the art building?!

Lin Yi was so shocked by the weird and mysterious scene in front of him that he couldn't speak, and gradually widened his eyes, revealing a terrifying look.

At this moment, in the wriggling flesh, some bloodshot eyeballs suddenly opened, and these eyeballs widened, and as soon as they opened, they rolled around, as if looking for something.

Gradually, some eyeballs looked at Lin Yi…

With just this one glance, Lin Yi felt a sense of terror that he was being noticed by countless people. His hairs stood on end, and he couldn't help but retreat…

Countless emotions such as gloom, weirdness, madness, and indifference seemed to pour out of the darkness and devour him.

But he didn't devour him, he just retreated along the original road and left the dark corner, returning to the corridor illuminated by the sun.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yi discovered that those eyeballs did not continue to pay attention to him. It turned out that they were just scanning around, as if observing the weather.

Suddenly, Lin Yi heard a sound in his ears like the tail of a rattlesnake trembling—

「Shasha shasha… shasha shasha…」
