Rules-related weird stories: 4016

If this deduction is accurate, then that means his current depth of corruption and the area of the novice village (the section of the signpost) already far exceed that of a typical trainee. Wait a minute…

Lin Yi paused for a moment.

Why even say "if"?

Isn't this the reality?

So, his own situation is the best self-certification of this concept!

Because of the broadening of the cognitive domain, he himself is able to withstand corruption—no, it should now be expressed as "supernatural power"—

So, because of the broadening of the cognitive domain, he himself is able to withstand more corruption from supernatural power, and the resulting change is the special ability he displayed on May 7th and the daytime of May 8th.

The illusion of being able to see another layer—My Vision;

And the ability to construct a sandbox in the mind and edit it—My World.

Emmmmm… how to put it, the "skill" names might be a little hasty, but they are genuinely useful.

As for hidden dangers… there are hidden dangers, because these two skills are currently uncontrollable, too random, and Lin Yi himself is not sure about the boundaries of the "novice village." There was even a time when he crossed the boundary and pulled himself back.

In fact, with the increase of the corruption threshold and the expansion of the "novice village" boundary, the danger hidden in the area outside the boundary is also increasing. It's like sitting in a submarine. He can gradually increase the diving depth, but once he exceeds the limit, the water pressure will rush in, and there won't be even a sliver of a chance to survive.

And the current situation where the entire teaching building is full of purebred Nightwalkers at a glance, is there a possibility that it's because of him… because of the corruption, he's seeing things wrong?

In other words, when the corruption exceeds the threshold, will he be unable to distinguish the boundary between reality and illusion?

「Could it be that Zhou Yuting saw this kind of crazy scene before she broke down?」

If the whole world is full of purebred Nightwalkers, and both oneself and others are emitting green gas, then even someone who doesn't know anything would blindly trust the normal physical education students emitting blue steam, right?

Lin Yi suddenly understood Zhou Yuting a little.

Perhaps… only those who have seen the world in the eyes of a madman can understand the sorrow behind the madman's madness…

While Lin Yi was thinking, Mao Feiyang had arrived at the men's restroom on the 2nd floor of Building B, and began to rinse his wound with clean water as before.

Strangely, Mao Feiyang's arm clearly only had a small abrasion, but after encountering water, it seemed as if blood could continuously seep out.

And as soon as the blood encountered water, it would immediately turn into ketchup.

This time, Mao Feiyang was very vigilant, occasionally looking into the restroom through the window, fearing that another imposter or purebred Nightwalker would appear inside.

Lin Yi also seemed to have captured some strange noise, so he quickly perked up his ears to listen.

This sound was masked by the sound of Mao Feiyang washing his hands, but Lin Yi still locked onto this sound among the many noises.

It was a "shasha" sound, extremely similar to the sound made by Nightwalkers and humanoid sculptures when moving, but compared to them, it was more dense and heavy, so much so that he could even feel the floor slabs under his feet vibrating slightly.

"Building B is indeed the hardest hit area…" Mu Daxian squatted on the ground, pressing his palm against the ground, as if sensing something, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

He looked at the stairwell not far away, only to see some dark masses wriggling up in the stairwell. Lin Yi also felt something and quickly looked over.

As soon as he turned his head, Lin Yi saw a piece of dark lava climbing up the stairs. As they climbed up the stairs, the incandescent lights in the stairwell quickly dimmed and flickered from time to time.

In the flickering light, Lin Yi vaguely saw what was wrapped in the black lava.

Their main body was a group of humanoid sculptures with twisted limbs. Some parts of these humanoid sculptures were still flesh and blood, while other parts had turned into pure white plaster-like substances. Around them, wriggling purebred Nightwalkers wrapped them like jelly-like plasma and moved with them.

They seemed to be able to capture Mao Feiyang's aura of corruption, like a swarm of insects smelling a scent and rushing over.

At this point in the teaching building, perhaps only Mao Feiyang and Mu Daxian were still wandering outside the classroom, and the injured Mao Feiyang was like a balloon with a hole, spraying out gas that constantly left things similar to marks in the space, sensed by all imposters and deeply corrupted individuals.

「After being injured, blood containing 'corruption' is more attractive to these things than a bonfire in the dark!」 Lin Yi realized, but he didn't know why Mu Daxian and Mao Feiyang weren't hiding in the classroom.

Wouldn't it be better to leave the classroom and go to the teaching building elevator when the time was almost up?

The Art Student Rules also say:

【When waiting for the elevator during non-abnormal weather periods, you can attend self-study classes in the classrooms of the teaching building. Before entering the classroom, please knock on the door of the teacher's office next to the classroom and inform the homeroom teacher that you will be studying in this classroom to facilitate the homeroom teacher's registration.】

【After this, if you want to attend self-study classes in the teaching building, you must go to that classroom.】

The group restricted from leaving the classroom after 21:00 is the trainees, not the art students. They can totally do that, right?

Just register with the homeroom teacher and then go to the teaching building elevator to return to the art building when it's almost 0 o'clock.

「Maozi doesn't know, but shouldn't Mu Daxian know?」

「Could it be that something else happened, or… have they already come out of the classroom?」

After all, now it seems that Mao Feiyang's wound seems to need to be constantly rinsed with clean water, as if this is the only way to purify some of the seductive aura emitted by the corruption.

"Let's go." Mu Daxian patted Mao Feiyang's shoulder, and then took the lead towards the corridor bridge. This time, Mu Daxian was walking from the 2nd floor of Building B to the 2nd floor of Building C.

"Remember to turn off the water."

Mu Daxian didn't forget to remind.

Even when Mao Feiyang was running in the corridor bridge, Lin Yi still didn't understand why they didn't enter the classroom. Mao Feiyang clearly knew those rules, so why couldn't they think of what he could think of so easily?

But he soon understood, because just as these thoughts popped into his mind, he suddenly saw some scenes as if he were hallucinating.

This feeling was like a "dream within a dream," and he saw Mu Daxian knocking on a certain door.

"He" quickly tried to extract enough information and details from the limited field of vision, and then suddenly discovered that the doorplate was actually… 「Teacher's Office (Group B, Class 2)」!

「Damn!」

「Has Mu Daxian been here with Maozi before? How could it be such a coincidence? Impossible, right?!」

“Is… is that the delivery?” "He" quickly heard a voice from inside the door.

The voice was familiar, making Lin Yi's heart skip a beat.

It was the voice of the homeroom teacher - 039!

「So… ‘this time point’ is still within the timeframe when the chef delivers meals to the homeroom teacher?」

Lin Yi was instantly thrown into disarray. On May 7th… he returned to the teaching building at 18:40. After that, he went back to his seat to supplement and revise the note, and then immediately went to report the chef's problem to homeroom teacher - 039.

Not long after reporting, he stayed in the classroom until 20:15, and left under the urging of Xu Shunkang and other sports students.

So, Mu Daxian and Mao Feiyang knocked on the door of Class 2, Group B, in the teacher's office while he was revising the note?

In other words, on May 7th, he was actually only separated from Mao Feiyang by a wall?!

They brushed past each other at such a close distance?!

This…

「Eh, that's not right!」

Lin Yi suddenly froze.

「Mu Daxian knocked on the door of homeroom teacher - 039, wasn't that following the rule in the Art Student Handbook to ‘register with the homeroom teacher before entering the classroom’?」

「After registering, shouldn't they enter the classroom?」

「That's right, why didn't they enter the classroom after registering?」

He quickly discovered the problem.

He heard Mu Daxian say, "Teacher, I'm an art student, bringing a new student to register and wanting to rest in the classroom."

"My art student number is ‘Moon-X0210905182’, registered in Class 2 of the former Group B. You can check the records."

After a moment, the homeroom teacher - 039 opened the classroom door.

But the moment the office door was opened, Mu Daxian's expression changed. He immediately took a step back, blocking Mao Feiyang, and tensed up warily, locking onto the face of homeroom teacher - 039: "Teacher, are you contaminated?"

The latest chapters are first published on 69shu.com!

"As you can see." The homeroom teacher - 039's complexion was not much better than when Lin Yi left. There were some beads of sweat on her hair, and her breathing was unstable.

"There seems to be a problem with the cafeteria. I can't get an accurate supply… Now… it's not suitable for registration."

"I understand." Mu Daxian stepped back a little and said in a deep voice, "Then I'll take my leave."

"Wait…" The homeroom teacher - 039 stopped him, "Check the junior next to you. He's injured. I just seemed to smell a very strong aura of contamination… That level of scent might attract ‘Angels’."

A flash of light flickered in Mu Daxian's eyes: "‘Angels’? Are you sure?"

"See for yourself, on his left arm."

Mu Daxian quickly grabbed Mao Feiyang's hand and indeed saw the wound.

"This wound? A scratch from the mountain path?" Mu Daxian was a little surprised.

"Yeah… I don't feel anything. Is it serious?" Mao Feiyang asked, puzzled. He did know, but he didn't care.

A big man wouldn't care about such a small scratch.

But seeing Mu Daxian's solemn expression, it seemed the situation wasn't that simple.

"Could it be… is something wrong?" He suddenly panicked.

Mu Daxian said in a deep voice, "Although the physique of art students is not as good as that of sports students, it is impossible to break the skin from such a small thing…"

"But I just became an art student?"

"It has nothing to do with the length of time. After holding the Student Commemorative Coin and experiencing an Art Journey, the body has already reached the lower limit of an art student. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken you on the mountain path rashly."

"So this injury… is very serious? Will I… will I die?" Mao Feiyang became more and more panicked.

Mu Daxian stared at his wound, then said in a low voice: "The 'extraordinary power' in your blood is far more than that of ordinary art students… It's strange, I didn't feel it at first?"

"This won't do… Your blood will break out sooner or later. It must be discharged from the body little by little in advance. Otherwise, if a big guy is attracted, we won't be able to clean up the mess…"

"It's not even 20:00 yet… There are still 4 hours before we can take the elevator. I have to hide you for 4 hours."

The homeroom teacher - 039's voice came from behind the door: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will complete 'leaving the identity of ‘Homeroom Teacher - 039’' before 20:00 and leave with the security guard."

"You can follow us far behind to Building C, using the residual aura of the security guard to shield the traces of pollution. If you do this, it is conservatively estimated that it will be safe before 22:00…"

"The remaining 2 hours… you need to figure out how to spend them yourselves."

The homeroom teacher - 039's thinking was very clear. As a homeroom teacher, even at any time, she would keep her thinking in a safe state first, in order to deal with all emergencies.

Mu Daxian listened quietly.

The homeroom teacher - 039 gasped for a moment and continued: "You entered the school in '21… Being able to live to this day, you must be quite respected among the art students. I won't say much about some old-fashioned practices."

"Anyway, remember, don't be eager to fight unless it's necessary…"

"Last night, an existence similar to an ‘Angel’ landed. I'm not sure if the security guard has cleaned Him up. You'd better use a Nightwalker to shield your aura. Although this is more dangerous, in order to avoid more ferocious beasts, sometimes you have to venture into a herd of cattle…"

"You understand what I mean, right?"

"Of course I understand." Mu Daxian reached out and patted the cloth bag and drawing board he was carrying, "I have experience."

The homeroom teacher - 039 then noticed the cloth bag and drawing board, and couldn't help but be stunned: "You…"

She paused but didn't speak. At this time, Lin Yi also noticed that when the homeroom teacher - 039 saw the drawing board, a complex light suddenly surged in her eyes.
