Rules-related weird stories: 4016

It's said that when it comes to a critical moment, a person's mind is either a complete mess or crystal clear. Lin Yi's mind is exceptionally clear right now.

"Right now, it's the evening of May 7th, and I encountered this 'Wei Liang' during the day of May 8th as well!"

Lin Yi suddenly made the connection. The fake Wei Liang that Mao Feiyang is encountering now should be the Night Walker Wei Liang that he got rid of under the sun during the day on May 8th!

Thinking like this, many doubts are resolved at once, and the existence and demise of this Night Walker Wei Liang are all neatly closed in a loop.

But then he thought again, and it seemed like something was still off…

He thought carefully and gradually discovered the problem.

"The timing is wrong…"

This "timing" doesn't refer to the same "timing" as before, but rather the timing of when the Night Walker molded itself into Wei Liang is incorrect.

On May 8th, the Night Walker used his perception to anchor itself to Wei Liang's appearance, so it's understandable that a Night Walker transformed into a fake Wei Liang at that time.

But what about now?

Under normal circumstances, how would it anchor itself to Wei Liang's appearance?

Even if it wanted to use Mao Feiyang's perception to impersonate someone, Wei Liang shouldn't be the first choice, right?

And the even bigger mystery is… how the hell are there so many Night Walkers that look like Liangzi?

And an even more terrifying point to consider is that just now, when he woke up from his dream, the guy who entered the dormitory and kept nagging in his ear also claimed to be [Wei Liang]!

Even when the dorm manager drove it away, it was saying things like [I am Wei Liang], [Save me], which is almost identical to what the Night Walker in the Building B toilet is saying right now!

The evening of May 7th!

The daytime of May 8th!

The early morning of May 9th!

Lin Yi couldn't understand the logic behind it, but he already felt his scalp tingling, as if someone had torn open his scalp and poured Pop Rocks into his brain!

The Pop Rocks were popping non-stop in his tofu brain, and countless noisy and chaotic voices echoed in his mind, forming that eerie demonic sound.

One voice said [I am Wei Liang, save me], and another voice emitted a painful cry that had been crushed by the sea breeze…

Lin Yi felt his brain itching a little, he couldn't understand it, he couldn't understand it at all.

At one point, Lin Yi even developed a suspicion towards Wei Liang!

The moment that thought flashed through his mind, his spine went cold, and he knew he was done for!

This kind of suspicion is like a pinhole-sized opening in a wall of absolute defense. Once it appears, it means it's gone from zero to something.

Even if he trusts Wei Liang, it's hard to guarantee that at some point in the future, due to increased contamination or other unknown factors, he won't amplify his suspicion of Wei Liang.

And this kind of suspicion may not seem like much now, but when it comes to a critical moment where there's no room for error, it's very likely to become the last straw that breaks the camel's back of their trust!

He decided to stop wasting time thinking about it and quickly turned his attention back to Mao Feiyang.

At this moment, Mao Feiyang was following Mu Daxian upstairs.

But Lin Yi immediately discovered some problems. Mu Daxian, who was in such a hurry to take Maozi away just now, was now slowly climbing the stairs, completely different from before entering the stairwell.

And Mao Feiyang, who was following behind him, didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, as if he was used to it.

Lin Yi looked up at the top of the stairwell and easily saw the exit to 2F of Building B.

"Could it be that their purpose isn't simply to go upstairs?" Lin Yi quickly figured it out, because he had just entered Maozi's perspective and didn't know what had happened before, so he could only guess now.

Otherwise, at their speed, they shouldn't have directly rushed to 2F.

At this moment, Lin Yi's nostrils flared, and he seemed to smell a sweet scent in the air…

This smell couldn't be described with precise adjectives, but the moment Lin Yi smelled it, he immediately associated it with some kind of food that he liked to eat.

He followed the scent, and his gaze uncontrollably fell on the abrasion on Mao Feiyang's hand…

Damn it! This sweet scent was actually emanating from Mao Feiyang's wound!

His pupils constricted slightly, and he seemed to be able to see, beneath Mao Feiyang's skin wound, some delicious ketchup slowly flowing and about to seep out!

The food he liked to eat was immediately replaced by the flowing, viscous ketchup, and a restless and eager impulse to rush up and devour it erupted from the depths of his heart like a volcanic eruption.

That intense desire even carried a hint of obsessive-compulsive disorder, like seeing a sundae machine suddenly go out of control and start squeezing out milky white ice cream from the outlet, but there wasn't a cup to catch it, so the person who saw it couldn't help but want to go over and catch it.

"No! No, no, no…" Lin Yi took a deep breath, quickly shook his head, and diverted his attention away from Mao Feiyang's wound.

"You're losing control," Mu Daxian's calm voice sounded in Mao Feiyang's ear, which also awakened Lin Yi, making Lin Yi unable to tell whether Mu Daxian was talking about Mao Feiyang, or… him.

Mao Feiyang gritted his teeth and began to concentrate, and then… Lin Yi surprisingly discovered that the sweet scent was becoming fainter and fainter, and soon disappeared completely.

"I'll go… this?!" He looked at Mao Feiyang in shock. Maozi had just… could he have actively controlled the changes in his blood?

Hiss… Lin Yi secretly gasped. This was only Maozi's second day at school, and he had already begun to control the contamination in his body… no, now it should be said that he had already begun to learn to control the supernatural power in his body?!

So fast?!

A picture appeared in Lin Yi's mind…

"Fake Teacher"冥王・雷利 (Meiou Rei):

《Lay a good foundation》

《Experience it yourself》

《Real combat comprehension》

"Real Famous Teacher" 百兽・凯多 (Hyakujū no Kaidō):

《One swing to learn Flowing Sakura!》

《Two swings to comprehend Conqueror's Haki Coating!》

《Three swings to assist Awakening!》

Could it be that fantasy novels are all true, and adversity is the real way to grow quickly, and Night Walkers are actually famous teachers who teach how to control contamination?!

"Sorry…" After adjusting, Mao Feiyang pursed his lips and said apologetically.

"It's useless to say it to me. You're not sorry to me, but to yourself," Mu Daxian shook his head, "I've already done my best. If you still accidentally turn into a bursting contaminated little person, then I can't do anything either, at most…"

"At most what?"

"At most, I'll personally send you on your way, so that you can leave this world as a 'human being'," Mu Daxian suddenly turned his head on the steps in front, and the cold white light shone down from the top of his head, casting a back-lit and indifferent figure.

Mao Feiyang was startled and quickly pursed his lips and didn't speak, silently following Mu Daxian.

He suddenly understood why so many art students held Mu Daxian in awe. The seemingly affable Mu Daxian had his own principles. As long as you didn't touch his principles, you could joke around however you wanted. But once you crossed that line, he would strictly adhere to his "principles."

There was no room for negotiation.

Suddenly, Lin Yi noticed that something, some small, fragmented things, seemed to have appeared in his field of vision.

From Mao Feiyang's perspective of looking at Mu Daxian, in the corner of the ceiling behind Mu Daxian, there seemed to be… something wriggling!

"Purebred Nightlings?!" Lin Yi was horrified. Immediately after, it was as if his eyes had suddenly been blessed, and he glanced around as if guided by a divine force…

This one glance caused the hairs on his entire body to stand on end.

“Holy crap…”

He saw that the stairwell, the walls, the corners, the ceiling… were all covered with purebred Nightlings!

These purebred Nightlings were stuck to the walls like plaster. Their physical forms determined their presentation, allowing them to integrate with the walls in a manner similar to pieced-together wallpaper…

And when Lin Yi realized this, he could no longer look directly at the inner walls of the stairwell.

It was like those concave-convex geometry problems often encountered in mathematics. Once you've determined it's a convex surface, it's very difficult to forcibly reverse your perception to recognize it as a concave surface.

If you forcibly try to reverse it, you'll see that contradictory state of geometry where the concave and convex surfaces flicker back and forth.

Lin Yi was experiencing that now. Once you glimpse a corner of reality, or what you believe to be reality, it becomes very difficult to turn back.

"It's 'recognition'!" Lin Yi realized slightly, "Everyone who enters the stairwell subconsciously believes that this 'is just' a stairwell, and the purebred Nightlings use this 'recognition' to anchor themselves to the stairwell!"

The newest novels are first published on 69shuba.!

It's a simple principle, like those who hear someone's identity information and then start trying to anchor themselves as that person's human-shaped sculpture.

The difference is that the teaching building has no life.

"So… could it be that the wrinkles on the walls of the teaching building came about this way?"

"In the fallen layers, countless purebred Nightlings formed… plaster?"

"I actually leaned against countless Nightlings?"

"Ugh…"

Lin Yi suddenly felt a dizzying sensation in his stomach, as if he was about to vomit up his leftovers from the night before.

This feeling persisted until they left the stairwell.

Lin Yi looked back at the stairwell. The stairwell, which had originally seemed to have no problems, now appeared to him as a small nest harboring unknown purebred Nightlings.

The purebred Nightlings were wriggling slightly on the walls, as if breathing and pulsating. The twisted lines outlined the contours of countless purebred Nightlings, vividly depicting their deformed, twisted, and perverted forms, causing one's sanity to drop drastically and goosebumps to crawl all over one's arms.

However, when Lin Yi turned his gaze back, he discovered that it wasn't just the walls of the stairwell, but all the walls in other areas of the teaching building were also covered with purebred Nightlings!

"?! !"

Lin Yi immediately realized a problem.

If all the walls of the teaching building have purebred Nightlings, then is there a problem with the world, or… is there a problem with my own senses that I'm seeing this scene?

There is not only a problem, but it is also a big problem, but the real question is whether the problem is with me or the world?

This was originally a philosophical dialectical question, but now the philosophical dialectic must be damned.

Regardless of whether there is a problem with the world or me, it is I who am in deep crisis, and the only constant is this.

If purebred Nightlings are a kind of "color", then when my perception equates it with plaster, it gradually becomes the wall…

But what if I ignore it?

This is the wall, this is the plaster, this is the ordinary teaching building…

He hinted to himself, trying to determine that the convex body is a concave body, at least from the "angle" of his current time, it must be a concave body.

It must be, even if it isn't.

It's like… a tomato is a tomato, not a heart.

I know you are a heart, but you must be a tomato now, even if you aren't.

As for whether it really is or not.

Only Lin Yi knows.

Or perhaps… at some point, Lin Yi will really go crazy and never be able to tell the difference.

"'Threshold'!"

"The 'threshold' of pollution!"

Lin Yi suddenly understood that if the world was really like what he saw at a certain moment, then Mu Daxian, as a representative of high inspiration among art students, would have discovered it long ago.

But Mu Daxian chose to turn a blind eye.

Why?

Because everyone's pollution range is different—this is what Tian Bufan said!

Tian Bufan's newbie village theory!

Mu Daxian's signpost theory!

At this moment, the concepts of these two theories quietly merged in Lin Yi's mind!

[Our cognitive range is the newbie village, we can observe the outside world on the border of cognition, we can expand the range of the newbie village by widening cognition, and then gradually encompass those originally unknown areas…]—Newbie Village Theory.

[Extraordinary power is a road, and there is a signpost at each stage. You have now crossed the entrance and are walking towards the first signpost. You can now return to the entrance and leave, but once you have walked the first section of the road, it will be difficult to turn back after passing the signpost…]—Signpost Theory.

That is to say, the signpost is equivalent to the boundary of the newbie village.

It is difficult to return to the newbie village after crossing the boundary, but what if the signpost can be moved back all the time?

In the same road (area), the boundary of the newbie village is expanded, which is equivalent to moving the signpost back…

Then, doesn't it mean that the pollution that one can bear has also become more?

Originally, a newbie village with an area of 10 units, the length of the first signpost is 10 units—a pollution threshold of 10 units.

When the threshold is exceeded, it is impossible to maintain in the layer of ordinary people and will transform into a Nightling.

But if, with the deepening of cognition, the pollution threshold of 10 units becomes 100 units, which makes the area of the 10-unit newbie village become 100 units, then the unit length of the first signpost also becomes 100!

Then, can one do things with a pollution force of 100 units under the identity of an "experience student"!

One can also forcibly reverse one's cognition within the pollution threshold of 100 units… as long as one is still within this threshold range?

If the pollution threshold of a sports student is 100 units, then… in some aspect, isn't he equivalent to a sports student?

Emmmmm… Considering the perverted physique of sports students, Lin Yi felt that even if there was an equal sign, it shouldn't be drawn on the physique, perhaps in other aspects…

For example, Wei Sang's sky-blue steam?!

Or for example… his own "My Vision" and "My World"?!

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