Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Because the word "safety" is mentioned in almost all the rules, most of the "safety" is a superficial reassurance. Only the "safety" of the dormitory is the kind that allows even someone with inspiration as high as him to sleep soundly, a safety that can be called absolute.

"So, in order to obtain this 'absolute safety,' the homeroom teacher - 040 is willing to have us take a high risk to return?"

"Although the teaching building is safe, it seems that a danger surpassing the protective effect of the teaching building's rules is about to arrive."

Does this danger override the rules?

Not necessarily.

Then, are the rules in conflict?

Not necessarily.

Based on the previous rules, Lin Yi suspected that this abnormal weather was very likely to trigger some kind of emergency, thereby triggering some kind of rule with higher priority.

He speculated that there might be a rule in the "Homeroom Teacher Rules" that says, "If a certain situation occurs, then please let the trainees follow the 'emergency response plan' as the main priority, and do so in such and such a way."

Simply put, the homeroom teacher - 040 hinted to them that there was a rule with a higher priority that they didn't know about, which conflicted with the rule in their student rules that required them to "go to the nearest building to take shelter at all costs when encountering abnormal weather," and they could choose to believe her and abide by this rule.

A seemingly simple choice option.

A choice between two, no, actually a choice between four.

The homeroom teacher foreshadowed the question, hinted at the situation, gave the options, and told the answer.

And they just needed to proceed step by step.

Similar to the process before the homeroom teacher - 039 locked the classroom during evening self-study, the homeroom teacher - 040 also gave a wave of suggestions, but the difference was that the homeroom teacher - 040 directly targeted high inspiration... or some kind of division, giving them another option.

And this time, this option seemed to be extremely tailored to "this kind" of trainee.

This time, Lin Yi chose to obey first, and then ponder the logic behind it after returning to the dormitory.

He glanced at the time. It was already 19:22. A few minutes after the homeroom teacher - 040 left, the classroom gradually became noisy again. Most of the trainees who had just arrived were assigned by the homeroom teacher - 040 to the group that stayed in the classroom.

Lin Yi guessed that perhaps the homeroom teacher - 040 hadn't yet determined whether their inspiration was high or low, so she treated them as ordinary trainees according to some "default value."

Just like when Lin Yi first entered the school on May 6th, the homeroom teacher - 039 and Xu Shunkang gave Lin Yi the same advice.

Perhaps among those trainees who only entered the school this afternoon, there were also some with high inspiration, but if the company hadn't informed the homeroom teacher - 040, then she wouldn't know and would only treat them as ordinary trainees.

Lin Yi retracted his gaze and took out the student rules, teaching building rules, and dormitory rules to take a look. It was interesting to say that among the many rules, the only ones that could be carried on the body seemed to be these three.

And the other rules were either directly locked in the corresponding building area, or, like the cafeteria rules and the gymnasium rules, were not allowed to be taken away from the corresponding building.

"That's a bit interesting."

"Thinking of something fun, the corners of your mouth are raised?" Wei Liang next to him suddenly asked.

Wei Liang, who had no H manga to read, was bored and was wondering whether to choose a not-too-thick H manga to dabble in during the last 40 minutes, but he was afraid that his ability to aim through the cracks would suddenly awaken and he wouldn't be able to extract his eagle-like gaze, so he just aimlessly glanced around.

Glancing at those trainees who had once again launched fierce discussions because they didn't understand the homeroom teacher's arrangements, and glancing at another group of trainees who were calmly thinking and not joining them, and then he saw that the corners of Lin Yi's mouth were actually slightly raised.

"I suddenly thought of something interesting." Lin Yi told Wei Liang his discovery.

Wei Liang rolled his eyes when he heard this, and pouted, "Is there even a need to think about this? The school isn't stupid, what they can give you must be worthless, who would let you take away something valuable!"

"Ah?" Lin Yi was stunned.

"Stupid!" Wei Liang took out a copy of the student rules and shook it with his hand. The student rules, which looked a bit like a gym flyer, immediately made a "swishing" sound.

"This thing is like a flyer, and there are student rules and dormitory rules, the materials are almost the same, but the cafeteria rules and the gymnasium rules are different!"

"The cafeteria rules have a shell-like thing on the outside, which looks high-end, and the box for the gymnasium rules is even more outrageous, it can be used as a card reader to swipe open the swimming pool locker, this kind of thing looks very expensive, how could the school give it to you for free!"

When Lin Yi heard this, he actually felt that what Wei Liang said made some sense.

"What you said... seems to be right!"

"Of course!" Wei Liang raised his head triumphantly.

Lin Yi immediately didn't plan to ponder this question, but the word "material" that Wei Liang said suddenly popped into his head.

"Wait? Material!"

A brilliant light suddenly flashed in Lin Yi's eyes!

Speaking of the material—

The outer shells of the cafeteria rules and the gymnasium rules seem to be the same material!

That special material that looks a bit like white acrylic board!

"Wait... white acrylic board material?!"

He also thought of another point, and a cold aura suddenly surged from his back!

A terrifying truth suddenly surfaced. He hadn't thought of it normally, but when he connected it to this point at this time, he suddenly felt a heartfelt chill and terror!

Because he thought of—everyone's student ID seems to be made of this material!!!

No, not just the student ID!

His mind flashed through the homeroom teacher's badge and the cafeteria aunt's badge at the speed of light, and then he found that these things were all made of this material!

And it seems like there's more, the student commemorative coin seems to be the same material too?!

His mind flashed through the appearance of the student commemorative coin, and then he found that it was really similar, and... when the homeroom teacher - 040 showed the homeroom teacher rules, the book cover of the homeroom teacher rules seemed to be the same material!

That is to say... these things, these things related to identity, are all made of the same material!

And this material, which seems to be white acrylic board, is very unusual!

"The rules say, don't let others see when swiping the card in the cafeteria..."

"Liangzi has also trained the passive skill 'Batto-jutsu card swipe method'…"

"And... when Li Huiyuan was in the convenience store, she told me that she had a strong urge to snatch my student ID!"

"She lost her student ID, has been absorbing pollution, and has shown some characteristics of the Nightwalkers…"

"That is to say, Nightwalkers will attack people who expose their student IDs! Although I don't know the motive and logic, they seem to be snatching student IDs?!"

"If we classify student IDs and this type of material into one category, and classify Nightwalkers, non-human classmates, and human-shaped sculptures into another category... we can draw a guess!"

"If you take things like the cafeteria rules away, you are very likely to become a target for human-shaped sculptures to attack when walking at night!"

"And the student ID, because the target is small enough, might avoid this problem...?"

"Wait!"

"Not necessarily!"

He thought of that call from behind him.

That precise call that could call out his name!

Was that voice calling him?

No, it wasn't calling "him," but rather calling "the person holding his student ID."

That was a group of night-dwelling species or humanoid sculptures, hiding in dark corners, using calls to express their covetousness and greed for the student ID!

The instant he thought of this, a scene appeared in Lin Yi's mind as if he were witnessing it firsthand—

S City University at night, a sliver of clear moon hanging in the night sky, "he" walking alone on a rugged cobblestone road, the cobblestones underfoot reflecting the bright moonlight, as if shrouded in a hazy light mist.

A gust of evening wind rose from the mountains, rustling through the treetops, and the sound of "shasha shasha" filled the mountains and fields. Gradually, a dense,森白色 mist surged out of the depths of the mountains with the wind, crossing the edge of the green belt, flowing into S City University like a hazy tide intertwined with countless viscous liquids to form a sticky substance.

As the fog expanded, the humanoid sculpture phalanx began to drag their stiff bodies, emerging from the green belt like zombies besieging a city.

"Shasha shasha," "Shasha shasha"...

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

The fog that poured into S City University revealed a green color symbolizing pollution after the white mountain mist evaporated. This green color, with the passage of time, turned into a terrifying dark green.

The green mist, sometimes thick, sometimes thin, lingered between the mountains and the campus, wandering among the humanoid sculpture phalanx. The entire S City University seemed to have become a Shura hell floating with green light mist...

The wind blew the mist, slowly enveloping the cobblestone road. "He" walking on the cobblestone road began to notice the abnormality of the environment and began to look for the nearest street lamp.

But for some reason, even though "he" could see that it was already very late, the street lamps around "him" had not yet lit up.

As the green mist continued to thicken, the clouds in the sky also thickened. The clear moonlight was gradually obscured by the thick fog, leaving only a silhouette of the moon in the high sky.

The fog gradually deepened, and "he" began to lose his way. Watching the mist, visible to the naked eye, that had covered the instep, submerged the ankles, and then risen to the calves, "he" frowned tightly, then squatted down, touched the cobblestones at his feet, and began to repeatedly recite, "My name is Lin Yi, my student ID number is X0230506098, I am on the cobblestone road on campus... My name is Lin Yi, my student ID number is X0230506098, I am on..."

When "he" recited these sentences, in the scene deduced by Lin Yi that "he" could not see, in the濃郁 dark green mist, the humanoid sculptures seemed to smell a delicious scent, dragging their stiff steps, accompanied by the "shasha shasha" dragging footsteps, slowly gathering around Lin Yi...

Their bodies swayed slowly with the evening wind like seaweed, surrounding "him" like a row of strange choirs. In this hellish environment, they looked like countless slender humanoid tombstones.

They stood beside "him," as if they heard the sentences "he" was reciting in his heart, and then one, two, three, four... the corners of their lips began to curl up in a stiff arc, and then they made hoarse and dry sounds:

【My name is Lin Yi...】

【My student ID number is... X0230506... 098...】

【I... am... on... the cobblestone road of the campus...】

【My name is Lin Yi... I...】

But Lin Yi was sure that "he" in his mind had not made any sound at all. All the words were recited in his heart, but these humanoid sculptures seemed to be able to hear his inner voice, repeating the same words as "him."

It was as if by constantly repeating these words, they could become "him," or... steal his identity.

After an unknown amount of time, at a certain position on the cobblestone road, a street lamp lit up with a "poof."

As the street lamp lit up, the orange-yellow light immediately pierced through the dense dark green mist, opening up a hemispherical field like a large mushroom emerging from the ground.

The humanoid sculptures immediately retreated in all directions like sandworms with a "shasha shasha" sound, as if they were afraid of such light.

"He" raised his head and looked at the street lamp pole.

Because all the humanoid sculptures on this road had fled, he saw almost nothing but the rolling mist.

"He" then stood up and began to walk towards the street lamp pole.

When "he" faced the street lamp pole, a dark shadow stretched out behind him. Seeing this shadow, those humanoid sculptures scrambled to drill up, clinging to the shadow, and slowly approached the street lamp following "him."

They crawled on the ground, wriggling forward, and some humanoid sculptures simply stepped on the backs of the first batch of humanoid sculptures, heavily trampling their bodies on the cobblestone road.

But they seemed to have no pain and no change in expression, just desperately chasing "his" shadow, crawling towards the street lamp pole.

And their abdomens were rubbed bloody by the cobblestone road—but their flesh was a plaster-like substance.

The cobblestone road they crawled and rubbed over was filled with that plaster-like powder in the gaps. These powders were exactly the same as the powder Lin Yi had once squatted down to observe on the road!

"Shasha shasha..."

"Shasha shasha..."

A strong look of greed appeared in their eyes, and they huddled in "his" shadow, approaching the street lamp pole little by little.

Finally, "he" escaped from the dark green mist, entering the realm of the street lamp like breaking through the fetal membrane wrapped in amniotic fluid-like mist.

"He" breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, an anxious call sounded behind him: "Lin Yi."

He didn't know whose voice it was, but "he" felt extremely familiar.

So "he" subconsciously turned his head.

And at this moment, those humanoid sculptures that were originally huddled in his shadow suddenly arched their bodies strangely. Then, before "he" could react, those humanoid sculptures rushed over like a swarm, pinning "him" to the ground like a pack of wolves, while attacking "him" and shouting in their mouths:

【I am Lin Yi, I am Lin Yi...】

Suddenly, one of the humanoid sculptures tore "his" clothes, and the student ID was immediately exposed to the air.

"Boom—"

The humanoid sculptures seemed to explode, no longer caring about "him," and rushed directly towards the student ID.

Thank you to book friend "usjdnshhs" for the reward!!

I was drained yesterday, today a small addition of 200 words.
