Rules-related weird stories: 4016

"Are you rested?" Lin Yi asked, fiddling with the bedsheet around her, then helped her to her feet under her puzzled gaze.

Then, Lin Yi half-squatted in front of her, signaling her to climb onto his back: "Get on, I'll carry you!"

"Ah? Ah… … Oww!" Li Huiyuan hadn't recovered yet, didn't have time to wipe away her tears, and quickly climbed on.

One of her legs couldn't exert any force, so she was a bit of a mess climbing on. Lin Yi helped support her buttocks several times before she settled down.

The Qing Dynasty is long gone, and now it's a matter of life and death, no one cares about things like men and women shouldn't touch each other.

After she was stable, Lin Yi used the bedsheet to tie himself and Li Huiyuan tightly together.

"This is the only thing among the daily necessities that can provide a little bit of support. Just bear with it."

Lin Yi grabbed the outside of Li Huiyuan's thighs with both hands, his body slightly arched, as if Xiangzi the Camel in his prime had possessed him, exuding the aura of the strongest cart puller.

"Hold on tight, I'm going to start running."

Li Huiyuan gave an "Mm" sound and wrapped her arms tightly around Lin Yi's neck.

Lin Yi bit the knot of the bedsheet with his teeth, then took a deep breath, then identified a direction, and suddenly kicked off the ground, sprinting like a bullet.

Lin Yi's speed was extremely fast, and the inertia was enormous. Li Huiyuan found that even if her arms were tightly wrapped around him, she almost fell off, but the knotted bedsheet just stabilized her on Lin Yi's back.

There was no way, Lin Yi was holding one of her legs with one hand, and he really couldn't free up a third hand to stabilize her body.

As for a princess carry?

When it comes to a great escape, carrying her on his back is definitely less strenuous.

Li Huiyuan finally understood the role of this bedsheet, but at the same time, she also realized one thing—Lin Yi never intended to abandon her from the beginning.

The ups and downs of life had fallen on her in less than a minute, making it impossible for her to recover all at once, but a certain feeling was incredibly real.

Warmth.

Unprecedented warmth.

With the emotions in place, she really wanted to say something, but suddenly found that the surrounding light was a little dim, and behind her, there was a shadow like a poisonous snake, which was devouring them.

At the same time, she heard Lin Yi mumbling something: "Damn it, at this critical moment, we still have to make a turn!"

It was this bend that caused them, who were originally running in a straight line, to run in a diagonal line, and the darkness and mist that were originally directly behind them also came directly to their right rear!

Lin Yi had a calm face, bit the bedsheet knot, and bent his body lower and lower, carrying Li Huiyuan in a mad dash.

He felt the wind whistling in his ears, and the surrounding light became darker and darker. The darkness, accompanied by thick fog, enveloped him, giving him a sense of deja vu of frantically escaping in the desert of the end times.

The ground of the convenience store kept shaking, and the incandescent light bulbs hanging from the ceiling were constantly shaking. The entire convenience store had a hazy feeling of collapsing, and the already somewhat turbid air suddenly became more polluted.

"Sha sha sha… …"

"Sha sha sha… …"

Lin Yi's ears keenly captured some movements. He glanced at his right rear while running, and saw that an incandescent light bulb that was somewhat close to him flickered a few times under the white mist and then quickly went out. Then, the humanoid spider-shaped green apron chef flashed over nimbly, sticking to the arched ceiling.

In the darkness, they had an extraordinary and eerie speed!

The green apron chef's head was turned upside down 180°, grinning at them, and a strong killing intent was undisguisedly revealed in his cold eyes.

"I am Li Huiyuan… … My student number is X0230507046… …"

"I am Li Huiyuan… …"

"Hehehe… …"

It kept chanting this sentence, trying to disturb Li Huiyuan's mind.

And beside the green apron chef, there was also a group of figures like a swarm of insects.

Ceiling, ground, depths of shelves… …

Countless nightwalkers surged towards them like monsters coming out of their cages. Some of those who ran slowly were directly pushed to the ground by those behind them, trampled into a pool of nightwalker mud.

Compared to the tide, they were more like a mudslide, rumbling and rushing, not knowing how many "own people" were filled under their feet.

This sense of collapse, where even companions could be used as stepping stones, put Lin Yi under increased pressure, and he quickly grabbed Li Huiyuan's legs and continued to sprint.

Ahead was another corner. After Lin Yi ran past it, he saw a pure white spot of light in the direction of the sign.

As the distance shortened and the field of vision became clearer, the spot of light turned out to be a portal, and beside the portal, there were also some barcode payment machines like shopping terminals.

"We're here! The exit is ahead!" Lin Yi was overjoyed and mustered his strength to sprint.

The green apron chefs behind them seemed to have sensed something, and kept making low roars.

"Lin… … Yi… … (Li… … Hui… … Yuan… …)"

Just as Lin Yi was about to sprint to the finish line, that call from the darkness suddenly rang in his ears again.

At this instant, Lin Yi seemed to see a humanoid outline in the darkness. That thing seemed to be walking out of the darkness while calling… …

"Lin Yi… … (Li Huiyuan… …)"

The voice gradually became clearer, and the outline gradually became clearer.

The figure seemed to be walking out of the darkness, and as he was about to cross the dividing line between light and darkness, an unprecedented sense of crisis surged from the abyss like a black tide, turning into countless waves and engulfing Lin Yi!

Pure darkness and extreme coldness seemed to drag the world into a cold abyss. Lin Yi heard a terrifying whisper in his ears. This sound was different from the painful screams he had heard before, not like the calls in the sea breeze, but more like a purer, more primitive, rougher, unadorned roar.

Like the kind of roar Superman made before he died.

"Lin Yi… … Lin Yi! Lin Yi! ! !"

The sound waves overlapped, one wave stronger than the other, pushing the fog to surge faster… …

"Lin Yi! Lin Yi! !"

This voice became clearer and clearer, but at this moment… … it was not Lin Yi's voice, but—Li Huiyuan's voice!

Lin Yi was stunned again and again, and suddenly found that a shopping terminal had clearly appeared in front of him… …

"? !"

Lin Yi's pupils shook, and he suddenly realized that the shouts and roars in his ears had disappeared completely at some point.

He glanced at his watch.

17:27.

"17:27… …? !"

"How could this be? Did I lose a few minutes of memory?"

At this moment, a few intermittent scenes flashed back in front of his eyes.

The scene of him running panting… …

The scene of his vision being blurred by sweat… …

And, the scene of his gasps being drowned out by a low, beast-like roar of "Fu Fu Fu", and then suddenly accelerating like a sports car engine roaring… …

The last scene was him arriving at the shopping terminal, breathing heavily with his hands on the countertop of the shopping terminal.

"I just now… …? !" Lin Yi muttered.

"You, you were about to run out of strength several times just now, and then I don't know what happened, but suddenly it was like you became a different person, running like crazy, all the way here." Li Huiyuan had already been put down by him and was standing beside him, holding onto the edge of the shopping terminal.

"Lin Yi, are you, are you okay?" Li Huiyuan asked with concern.

"It's okay... maybe I ran too fast just now and didn't catch my breath for a moment. I'm fine now," Lin Yi shook his head slightly.

At this moment, he noticed that the outside of Li Huiyuan's thigh was a little red, as if it had been scratched when he grabbed her tightly.

「I just... ran here, and then because I was too tired, the 'contamination' took advantage of the situation?」

Lin Yi understood the cause and effect, quickly scanned the codes of the two rolls of biscuits he was holding in front of the shopping terminal, and then reached out and took off the bed sheet that was draped over Li Huiyuan.

"Fortunately, I had a backup plan. Without this bed sheet, I might not have been able to carry you out."

The newest novel is first published at Six 9 Book Bar!

A person can only purchase a maximum of three daily necessities or ready-to-eat foods at a time. Lin Yi had previously run to find something to secure Li Huiyuan, and in the end, he only found the bed sheet, so he made do with it.

After scanning the barcode of the bed sheet, Lin Yi clicked [Confirm] on the shopping terminal.

Immediately afterward, a facial recognition interface appeared at the top of the screen. That interface had a very precise dynamic capture technology. After scanning Lin Yi's face, it immediately changed to a card swiping interface.

The card swiping interface had three options: [Student ID], [Student Commemorative Coin], and [None]. Lin Yi decisively clicked [Student ID] and then took out his student ID and swiped it.

「Di—」

Lin Yi's information popped up on the screen:

"Name: Lin Yi."

"Student ID: X0230506098."

Lin Yi clicked Confirm and then put his student ID back into his pocket.

Just then, he suddenly noticed that Li Huiyuan was staring at his pants pocket, her eyes very strange, as if with some unusual emotion…

"What's wrong?" Lin Yi asked.

"I... I just saw your student ID and suddenly had a strong urge to snatch it away," Li Huiyuan pursed her lips, not concealing her thoughts. "My problem may be getting worse…"

"Don't think too much, it's not a dead end yet," Lin Yi said in a deep voice. "The student rules mention not staying overnight, and now there are still nearly 7 hours until overnight."

"Scan your items, and after returning to the teaching building, find the homeroom teacher and see if there are any other solutions."

Lin Yi glanced at the fog ahead. The fog, accompanied by darkness, was constantly surging, and it had almost taken over his vision, but there was still a considerable distance between them.

Time was ample, if there weren't any unexpected events like the shopping terminal suddenly losing power or short-circuiting...呸 呸 呸.

"Yeah." Li Huiyuan nodded and began to check out her roll of biscuits and a loaf of bread.

Li Huiyuan's checkout process was similar to his, the difference being that after scanning her face, she clicked [None]. After the screen scanned her face again, the checkout was completed.

"Let's go." After putting away their respective items, Lin Yi picked up Li Huiyuan in a princess carry and walked towards the white-glowing convenience store doorway.

Lin Yi glanced at the door. There was also a blue sign next to the door: [Convenience Store Exit, Dear~]

Lin Yi curled his lips. This "Dear" style echoed the convenience store's notice, making him couldn't help but slander in his heart—your rules are pretty good.

After he muttered a word, he raised his foot and stepped into the door of the convenience store.

The moment he stepped out, he seemed to hear the unwilling roar coming from the darkness behind him, and he also seemed to hear countless calls, but he had no intention of stopping at all, and just rushed out of the convenience store.

His figure quickly disappeared into the white light. As the white light enveloped him, the restlessness and unease that made him feel unusually uncomfortable also dissipated, as if the door of this convenience store had its own filtering effect, stripping away all the ominous aura that entangled him.

And at this moment, he suddenly noticed a figure standing beside him.

This figure was standing on the door frame of the convenience store exit, obscured by the white light, so Lin Yi had not noticed his existence before…

But this was not the reason for Lin Yi's surprise!

The reason for his surprise was that with such a person standing at the door, he didn't even have the slightest warning, and didn't even notice anything wrong!

But this thought came out in an instant, and his figure was immediately submerged in the white light…

… …

After crossing the doorway, Lin Yi's first step was very solid, but the ground under his feet was slightly uneven. He realized that he should be stepping on some kind of rough steps.

The white light quickly dissipated—of course, rather than saying it dissipated, it was better to say that his vision began to adapt to the light of this new environment.

He found that he was standing in a similar arched tunnel, a tunnel... very similar in layout to the convenience store.

However, this place had no shelves, nor did it have a seemingly infinitely extending space. It was just a tunnel with a horizontal width of about twenty to thirty meters and an arched ceiling above.

At the top of the tunnel, a large number of incandescent lamps were also hanging, and the dazzling incandescent light seemed to sting Lin Yi's eyes, making him unable to raise his head for a long time.

This was like an extension of the convenience store, but since stepping out of the exit, it seemed to have suddenly become normal.

And under his feet was a not-so-steep stone staircase, and the surrounding walls were also painted with a huge guiding arrow of "→ Campus" in blue paint.

Lin Yi looked down at his watch.

17:29.

Very normal.

So he didn't stop and started walking down the stairs with Li Huiyuan in his arms.

Walking and walking, I don't know how long he walked, he suddenly felt a thin layer of fog permeating the ground under his feet, and the surrounding lights were not so dazzling anymore.

He took another look at the surrounding walls and suddenly felt a little familiar, and that convenience store-style arched tunnel had also turned into a tan rough stone wall without warning at some point, and the steps under his feet had also become steps with some moss growing on them, and a thin layer of fog filled the tunnel.

Lin Yi's heart shook, and his first reaction was [Could it be that he has fallen into another layer?], but on second thought, it wasn't right. This familiar environment and layout didn't seem like any layer, but more like—

He looked back at the stairs behind him.

At the end of the stairs, the interlaced light was as blurred as a silhouette, and in that light, a blue-aproned chef stood impressively.

And this blue-aproned chef was none other than the "As If Present" blue-aproned chef.

"Damn, this really is... the Student Passage?!"
