Rules-related weird stories: 4016

“I believe that concept-level sculptures cannot be measured by common sense.” Tian Bufan said with a solemn tone, “If ‘He’ is the source of the pollution, then theoretically, ‘He’ is omnipresent, and we cannot describe ‘Him’ as an ‘individual’.”

“Like something in a quantum state, it can exist in multiple places simultaneously, the projection being the main body.”

“But ‘He’ is restricted by the security, and even driven away by the security.”

“So I believe that ‘His’ life level is at least similar to that of the security.”

Only things with similar life levels can fight each other.

You wouldn't bother with a dog barking at you because you don't care and you have countless ways to get rid of it if you really wanted to.

But it's different when a person yells at you. In the simplest case, it's 'What are you looking at?' 'Looking at you, what's it to you?' and then a fight breaks out.

“So ‘He’ is definitely not the source of the pollution, but at most a super pollution aggregate… But ‘He’ may be an individual, or a collection of multiple individuals.”

“What I mean is, if the ‘Emergency Response Plan’ corresponds to certain special events, such as the collective invasion of non-human classmates we are currently experiencing, it means that this kind of thing is not uncommon in the campus…”

“Of course, this ‘not uncommon’ means that the frequency of its occurrence is based on the time scale from the establishment of the campus from scratch.”

“The frequency of this event is so frequent that the school and the so-called company in the head teacher - 039's mouth have gradually deduced and formulated the ‘Emergency Response Plan’… It's really intriguing.”

“Also… I don't know if you've noticed that under the normal layer, there are still a considerable number of unnumbered lampposts in the campus.”

“Ah? I really haven't noticed that!” Lin Yi said in surprise, “The distribution of lampposts on both sides of the cobblestone road is chaotic, but they all have lamppost numbers.”

“But the numbers of those lampposts… are not complete.” Tian Bufan said slowly.

Lin Yi's voice stopped abruptly, and his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly thought of something: “You mean…”

The lamppost numbers in the campus range from ‘XXX-001’ to the maximum number of a building in that area. There will be no omissions, unless—

“In previous similar events, non-human classmates frequently licked the lamppost numbers, causing the lamppost numbers to fade and disappear?!”

“That's right, that's what I'm guessing.” Tian Bufan said seriously, “Do you remember the day we entered the school, the lampposts we passed, their numbers were ‘Teaching Building - 025’ and ‘Teaching Building - 023’, right?”

“There is no ‘Teaching Building - 024’! Could the lamppost of ‘Teaching Building - 024’ have been worn away by non-human classmates in a previous event?” Lin Yi widened his eyes, “I remember! Liangzi and I also saw a lamppost without a number, very close to the ‘Teaching Building - 023’ we found later!”

“Could that be ‘Teaching Building - 024’, but… the number was licked off by non-human classmates? But… if the paint number disappears, why wouldn't the lamppost light up?”

Lin Yi squinted his eyes and thought for a while: “Could it be related to extraordinary characteristics?”

The lampposts in the campus are not powered by an electrical system, but use some kind of energy carrying extraordinary characteristics. The light bulbs under the lampshade are not light bulbs at all, but a circular sphere with golden spiral patterns.

“Could it be that the non-human classmates are not licking paint at all… but are absorbing the energy of the lampposts in their own way?”

“And could the white paint on the lampposts be something like a thermometer, which can visually represent the extraordinary characteristics in the lampposts?”

“The brighter the lampposts, the clearer they are. When the lampposts are not lit, they also dissipate.”

Tian Bufan said: “That's very likely the case.”

Lin Yi's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but gasp.

“What's wrong, surprised?” Tian Bufan asked.

“Of course!” Lin Yi replied, “It's too unbelievable that non-human classmates can absorb some kind of energy containing extraordinary characteristics, don't you think?”

“I don't understand.” Tian Bufan shook his head, “What's unbelievable to you? In this place where even dead people can turn into sculptures and zombies, and taking out a heart turns it into a tomato, is there anything outrageous that you can't accept?”

“Uh…” Lin Yi heard that, yes, it's already so outrageous, what can't I accept?

Dead people can move!

Please, if you put aside the possibility of encountering something more terrifying than death here, it's really… so exciting—呸, exciting my ass.

Damn it, my life is important.

“It's just… I'm still a little… confused about the non-human classmates absorbing the extraordinary characteristics of the lampposts.” Lin Yi glanced at the two lamps in the dormitory, “If the lampposts can be absorbed, wouldn't the lights in the dormitory and teaching building also be absorbed?”

He was beginning to doubt whether the so-called power supply system in the buildings really existed. Could there really be some kind of system, but instead of supplying electricity, it supplied some kind of energy containing extraordinary characteristics? If that were the case… wouldn't the non-human classmates also be able to absorb them?

“I see…” Tian Bufan said, “What you're concerned about is that non-human classmates can absorb extraordinary characteristics.”

“Yes.”

“Hehe…” Tian Bufan smiled, “Change your thinking. You're separating the white powder particles and extraordinary characteristics, but what if… the white powder particles themselves are a kind of energy containing extraordinary characteristics?”

Lin Yi's pupils fluctuated instantly. Tian Bufan's words opened up new ideas for him!

White powder particles… are also energy containing extraordinary characteristics?!

“You mean… pollution itself carries extraordinary characteristics?!”

“No, the concept is reversed!” Tian Bufan said, “It's not that pollution carries extraordinary characteristics, but that… the pollution we suffer is actually an acceptance of extraordinary characteristics!”

“The pollution we suffer comes from something containing extremely strong extraordinary characteristics…”

“Like taking medicine, the appropriate dose will not cause problems for the user, but once it is excessive, any medicine has a lethal dose!”

“I am more inclined to a speculation… All the pollution in the campus comes from the same extraordinary characteristic, but the differences in ‘quantity’ and ‘form’ have caused different distinctions.”

“Drinking cold water, drinking hot water, eating shaved ice, eating ice cubes… are all ingesting water, but the processes are completely different.”

“Eating ice cubes will cause diarrhea, and drinking hot water… will kill you.”

“So, the point you mentioned about the lampposts being absorbed is likely that they are absorbing some kind of form that they cannot swallow…”

“They can forcibly absorb it, but after absorption, it may not be beneficial to themselves.”

Lin Yi's face suddenly turned ugly. He had some ominous premonitions: “Non-human classmates who are afraid of light are actively devouring light… Aren't they courting death?”

Tian Bufan took a deep breath: “If absorbing light really makes them ‘die’, then the problem behind this event is even bigger.”

“On the way here, I seemed to hear the humanoid sculptures or the night walkers, anyway, those things hidden in the darkness were saying ‘not enough’, ‘need more people’… ”

“I think it's possible that some band of my brain's layer fluctuations received the thought waves from them.”

“Combining that with the fact that they would rather self-destruct than not devour the lights... don't you think the fact that [all non-human students would rather die than not destroy the streetlights] is terrifying in itself?”

“Behind these non-human entities, there is an existence manipulating the whole thing, giving orders to all the non-human entities... and the purpose of this existence is the crisis of this event!”

“What exactly is its purpose? How many people does it want to involve in this event?”

“The school must know something, otherwise there wouldn't be an emergency plan.”

Lin Yi frowned: “But if they can really devour the extraordinary characteristics in the streetlights, then wouldn't our entire campus be unsafe?”

In fact, Lin Yi had already found a lot of evidence to support Tian Bufan's guess.

For example, the classroom lights flickering, the cafeteria lights flickering, as if to say, something is coming, run, hide.

And when that thing left, the lights that should have been on would return.

“I don’t think so.” Tian Bufan denied Lin Yi's statement, “There must be some restrictions, otherwise, with the number of humanoid sculptures in the mountains, a single charge would be enough to level the entire campus.”

“How powerful the security guards are is a mystery, but they shouldn't be invincible either. There must be some kind of balance of power on campus, otherwise, once it's broken, it wouldn't be the scene it is now.”

“And this kind of event is obviously one side breaking the balance and launching an attack on the other... a battle.”

Lin Yi pondered: “Regarding the restrictions you mentioned, do you have any directions for speculation?”

This point was something Lin Yi hadn't thought about yet. Now that time is tight, it's definitely better to directly ask Tian Bufan.

“For example... does it require non-human students who have just seized the identity of a trainee to meet the conditions?”

“Think about it carefully, whether it's Zhou Yuting, Nie Yun, or Ge Qing, don't they all belong to those whose identities were seized today?”

“That is to say... only newly born non-human students can absorb the extraordinary characteristics of the streetlights.”

“So, they need to absorb the extraordinary characteristics of the streetlights while 'luring' the trainees, killing the trainees, and letting the humanoid sculptures seize their identities. After anchoring, they continue to absorb the extraordinary characteristics of the streetlights in the state of non-human students.”

Hearing this, Lin Yi thought carefully and found that it seemed to be the case.

“But in this way, isn't it more dangerous to return to the dormitory and face ambushes and traps from non-human students?”

“Is it? But don't forget, all the sports students have left the classroom. Once the layers fall, the classroom lights will inevitably go out. At that time, the trainees left in the classroom will have to share a room with the non-human students.”

“Ordinary trainees are fine, hiding under the desk. If no one makes trouble, they might be able to get through it safely.”

“But high-sensitivity trainees are contaminated. Even if they hide under the desk, they can't avoid the non-human students' 'perception' of the contamination. It's difficult to protect themselves.”

Lin Yi was stunned, and suddenly realized that the reason why the non-human student bent down to look at him on the first night was not because he saw something, but because he carried "contamination" in his body, which allowed the non-human student to sense him, and then tentatively reached out to grab him a few times.

But this also reflects from the side that those non-human students should be "dead non-human students". If they are "non-human students who haven't died yet", they will have a certain amount of wisdom like those non-human students in the mist.

If he had attracted the attention of "non-human students who haven't died yet" on the first night...

“Hiss…”

Lin Yi suddenly shuddered. The consequences would be unimaginable!

Lin Yi suddenly felt a little fortunate that, at that time on the first night, he hadn't received too much contamination from Mao Feiyang. If it were today, once the lights went out, it would definitely attract the "attention" of the non-human students.

And the process of returning to the dormitory building tonight gave him the feeling of the Great Migration of African Animals.

There's a river ahead, full of crocodiles, but you have to walk through the river.

Lin Yi's expression was a little unsightly.

This campus is simply an onion. Every time he thought he could end it by peeling off this layer of secrets, the campus would tell him that there was another layer inside.

He peeled off layer after layer, sinking deeper and deeper, but this onion seemed to be endless.

After talking about the Night Walkers, the two naturally switched to the stairwell.

Regarding the floors above the 5th floor of the teaching building, Lin Yi said that the magical vision he passed through seemed to see through the layers, directly seeing the densely packed Night Walkers filling the stairwell, and raised the question of whether the teaching building might be a nest of Night Walkers.

Tian Bufan shook his head after hearing this: "Speaking of Night Walker nests, Lao Lin, don't you think that the entire campus is a bit like a Night Walker nest?"

“Huh…?” Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.

Tian Bufan explained: "S University is built in a mountainous area, and except for the campus part, all other areas in the mountains are covered with vegetation. I don't know how many humanoid sculptures are hidden in the mountains. When you think about it, don't you feel like you're surrounded by humanoid sculptures?"

Lin Yi's body shuddered subconsciously.

The newest and most complete novels are available at Liu\\~9\\~Shu\\~Ba\\~Dot\\~Com!

Yes, after being reminded by Tian Bufan, he remembered those bad details again, such as the windows on the outside of the classroom being all blast-proof glass. This was simply to prevent humanoid sculptures from breaking through the windows when the layers fell!

“By the way, I also know what's going on with that staircase leading to the basement…”

“That stairwell is actually the stairwell of the teaching building, but it can only be seen by people with unstable mental states when the layers fluctuate.”

“Li Huiyuan saw that staircase leading to the basement, and seemed to feel an attraction… but I didn’t.”

“But there is actually another doubt here, that is, the location of the stairwell is not quite the same as the day we entered the school.” Lin Yi said, “That day, the stairwell was right at the top of the stairs, that location was probably at the classroom… I haven’t figured this out yet.”

“But I still feel that the teaching building and the dormitory building are connected in a certain layer. The stairs and elevators may be connected.” Lin Yi said in a deep voice, “Even… could the elevators on campus be the same elevator, but because of the difference in layers, they seem to be in the normal layer, but actually run through the entire campus?”

“Like a mille-feuille, a skewer pierces through the cake from top to bottom, so you can see the skewer on every layer?”

“Your idea is too interesting.” Tian Bufan laughed.

“You didn’t deny my guess?” Lin Yi felt a little surprised.

“Why deny it?” Tian Bufan asked rhetorically, “Any interesting guess is worth considering. What if that’s the answer?”

Lin Yi thought to himself that was right. Exploring cautiously, hypothesizing boldly, and verifying patiently has always been Young Master Tian’s style, which can be described as steady as an old dog.

“By the way, Young Master Tian, ​​did you only study the elevator today?”

Tian Bufan frowned slightly: “Pay attention to your wording, what do you mean by 'only'? Burning and grilling all the Night Walkers in the entire elevator is a very time-consuming job in itself. Don’t forget, the elevator is not one on each floor, but two in a building.”

“Uh… it was my rashness.” Lin Yi was embarrassed and quickly responded.

That's right… Tian Bufan moved a mirror and sent a whole elevator of night-dwelling creatures to heaven!

Such a feat is much more violent than my aimless wandering.

“But I did take some time to do other things.” Tian Bufan added.

“What things?”

“I tried to find the exit of the campus.”

Lin Yi was a little surprised to hear this. Tian Bufan, who was determined to explore the campus, would actually want to find the exit?

“Are you trying to find a way out for us?”

“You're thinking too much.” Tian Bufan sneered, “Once you're in, there's no way out.

I'm just exploring and want to see the school gate by the way.”

“But guess what?”

Lin Yi immediately said, “Since you asked, you definitely didn't find the school gate, right?”

“That's right, I didn't find the school gate, which shouldn't be the case in theory.” Tian Bufan's tone was calm, as if he had expected this, “This shows that the location of the school gate is not on the normal layer.”

“A campus where the entrance and exit are abnormal, can you believe it?”

“I wouldn't have believed it before, but now I have to.” Lin Yi said like an old slacker, “But how did you find the school gate?”

“You forgot, we have a map!” Tian Bufan reminded, “The teaching building rules come with a folded map, which shows the location of the school gate.”

Lin Yi was stunned and quickly got out of bed, took the teaching building rules out of his schoolbag, brought them to the bed, and flipped to the map.

The campus map did mark the location of the school gate, and that direction vaguely matched the direction he came from in his memory.

Not far from the school gate, there was also a small label - "Security Room".

This icon, which had always been there but he had subconsciously ignored, was suddenly noticed by him at this moment.

“Why is there a ‘Security Room’ here?! I didn't notice it before!” Lin Yi exclaimed in surprise.

“Didn't notice it?” Tian Bufan was also stunned, “Maybe it's because the orientation of this map is too easy to remember, so you didn't flip through it again after reading it once?”

The campus map was indeed very simple, with a total of five buildings: teaching building, cafeteria, dormitory building, gymnasium, library, plus some roads and randomly dotted street lamps.

Lin Yi remembered it directly after reading it the first time, and didn't take it out again later.

And his focus had always been on the buildings, plus the small symbols densely marking the street lamp numbers on the map, which made him subconsciously ignore the school gate on the edge and the symbol marked with "Security Room" there.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that when they entered the school and encountered the thick fog, they could still see the shadow of the security room in the fog at first, and those strange art teachers and art students didn't dare to approach the school gate… Now that he thought about it, he seemed to understand.

They were afraid of the security room, so they didn't dare to approach it!

“Hiss… In other words, we were all safe in the car at first.

Even if we got off the car, it would be relatively safe near the security room, and those strange art teachers and students wouldn't dare to force it, but the passengers on the bus took the initiative to walk to them…”

Lin Yi's scalp tingled, and when he put himself in the shoes of the sailor-suited girls, he had a creepy feeling of lambs stripping themselves clean and sending themselves into the tiger's mouth.

“Those people really had a hellish start… Although the Russian guy had a blasting start, he managed to get a student commemorative coin and the identity of an art student, but those people were directly led astray by the strange art teacher, I don't know what path they will embark on!”

“Oh no… Judging from the illusion, the Russian guy lost the student commemorative coin in less than a day.”

“What the hell did he do, he really showed off so much that my mouth is crooked…”

“And then you came back?” Lin Yi asked.

“Not finished yet.” Tian Bufan said helplessly, “The fun has just begun.”

“Ah?” Lin Yi thought it was over when he didn't find the school gate.

“I walked a distance along the direction marked on the map towards the location where the school gate ‘should be’, and then I found…

“ Tian Bufan paused, “The end of the road led to the green belt.”

“Hiss—” Lin Yi took a deep breath.

During this discussion, he almost sucked all the air out of the dormitory like an air pump.

“Green belt?!” He opened his mouth wide, “What the hell, how could this happen?”

“If the layer where the school gate itself is located is abnormal, then this is reasonable.”

“But!” Lin Yi corrected, “The rules say that all buildings except the art building are marked on the map!”

Tian Bufan said, “That's right, take a closer look, it says ‘buildings’, whether the school gate is a ‘building’ is temporarily undetermined, but its location… the map does mark it, it's just that I didn't find it.”

“Uh…” Lin Yi was speechless for a moment.

“Take another look at the map, you'll find another interesting thing.” Tian Bufan reminded.

“Ah?” Lin Yi quickly scanned the campus map, but found nothing after several times, “Uh… I'm probably a bit blind to the obvious, why don't you just tell me?”

Tian Bufan said, “Okay, and this is what I want to say.”

Lin Yi nodded repeatedly.

“We've been in school for a few days, but there's a building that we haven't been in contact with until now, don't you think it's strange?”

“Are you talking about…?” Lin Yi looked at the campus map in his hand and pondered, “The library?”

“Yes…” Tian Bufan sighed faintly, “The library.”

“What's wrong with the library?”

“You said, with our schedule, we're just going between the cafeteria, teaching building, and dormitory every day.

When there's a physical education class, we go to the gymnasium, and it's impossible to have any intersection with the library.

The rules simply say not to go into the library when you see it, so why bother reminding us that we can only take the elevator in the library, isn't that redundant?”

“Uh… Your way of thinking is always so unique.” Lin Yi admired, “So?”

“So I boldly speculate that there must be some kind of special mechanism in the library, which is very likely to make people reach it unintentionally… In this way, the part mentioned in the rules will be useful.”

“So I went to find the location of the library.” Tian Bufan raised the campus map, “With a map, you won't get lost!”

“And then?”

“Then the interesting thing is… After coming out of the cafeteria, I found the ‘Library - 001’ street lamp pole, and then followed the approximate route on the campus map towards the library.

When I came to the ‘Library - 102’ street lamp pole, what appeared in front of me was…”

Lin Yi held his breath.

Then he heard Tian Bufan lower his voice and slowly utter three words:

“Green belt.”
