Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Lin Yi nodded. He had noticed it when the head teacher first entered the classroom. And for some reason, he also felt a cold aura emanating from the head teacher that made people feel subconsciously uncomfortable.

He couldn't tell if it was the feeling the head teacher gave him, or if it was an illusion caused by the mist that rushed in when the head teacher opened the classroom door…

In short, the head teacher who pushed open the classroom door at 7:40 am and walked into the class made him feel very uneasy.

But it was just a feeling of unease.

The head teacher still wore the acrylic name tag with the thorny flower border on her chest. The name tag still had the number "Head Teacher - B2-039". Her behavior was also normal, so he didn't think much about it.

But when the head teacher turned her head, her eyes suddenly turned golden.

Those eyes were too similar to the security guard's eyes, as if molten gold had been poured into the eye sockets, with a dazzling and powerful sense of oppression.

At that time, although the security guard did not show any hostility towards Lin Yi, Lin Yi still felt an indescribable sense of trembling.

But the head teacher was different… The first feeling the head teacher's golden eyes gave him was evil.

This was an indescribable feeling. Lin Yi didn't know why he came to this conclusion, but just like a person who subconsciously avoids a python in the wild, he had the same feeling when facing the head teacher.

"Tell me, how did her stockings tear?" Lin Yi asked subconsciously.

When Wei Liang heard this, countless erotic images flashed through his mind, and his eyes almost curved into crescent moons: "Hehe, hehe… I think, Lao Lin, what do you think?"

However, Lin Yi was actually muttering to himself and didn't mean to ask Wei Liang at all. He continued to mutter: "She tore her stockings when she sprained her ankle and was in too much pain to change them?"

"But, do girls change their stockings frequently? Is it necessary to change them?"

"Even if they don't change them, they shouldn't wear them to sleep, right?"

Wei Liang listened with his ears perked up, and the look in his eyes towards Lin Yi changed subtly. He couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Your habit of thinking is not wasted at all!"

He glanced at those H manga and sighed in his heart: "As the saying goes, the master leads the way, but the cultivation depends on the individual. Lao Lin has already gotten on the right track!"

"If this continues, why worry about not being able to spend seven days safely?"

Just as Wei Liang was about to start talking about his set of relative dialectical relationships between women and stockings, he saw Lin Yi shaking his head again and muttering:

"No, no…"

"She doesn't seem to have sprained her ankle… She should have injured her waist, which indirectly affected her mobility, making her look a little sprained."

"But why is she hiding it and not letting anyone find out?"

Lin Yi tapped his temple lightly, thinking about the question.

He was completely unaware that someone had come to his side and then reached out… and took the half-eaten roll of biscuits from his hand.

"You kid will die from overthinking sooner or later." A sarcastic voice sounded, and Xie Huayang opened his mouth, threw a piece of biscuit in, and chewed it loudly.

Lin Yi withdrew his thoughts and looked at Xie Huayang, saying, "What you said is not entirely correct. There are some questions that can be thought about without any problems."

Xie Huayang was stunned. The biscuit he had put to his mouth stopped there. He was a little surprised by Lin Yi's discovery and asked back, "Judging by your tone, you seem to have discovered an incredible 'rule'?"

Seeing Xie Huayang's reaction, Lin Yi was instead sure of his guess: "So it is indeed like this, right?"

"As long as you don't think about those contradictory questions, you won't encounter danger. It's okay to think about some normal questions."

He stared into Xie Huayang's eyes, wanting to see the other party's reaction.

Xie Huayang's eyes gradually narrowed.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds. When the atmosphere became a little stagnant, Xie Huayang's brows suddenly relaxed.

"Interesting… a little interesting." He said with a smile that was not a smile, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay, I have to tell you… your discovery is correct."

"However, the boundary between safety and danger will become blurred when you think about problems. If you accidentally step over the line, you're done. So how can you ensure that you won't step over the line?"

Lin Yi shook his head slightly: "I haven't considered this question yet."

"You kid…" Xie Huayang put away his sarcastic look, rubbed his temples, and then said, "Although I don't really like people who are too clever, I still think it's a little interesting to have someone like you appear in this boring life."

"Let me give you some tips."

"If you really want to think about problems and don't want to step over the line, then go think under the sun."

"Under the sun?" Lin Yi was stunned, and immediately reacted, asking, "Is the weirdness of the campus related to sunlight?"

"There is no direct relationship." Xie Huayang denied, "But, sunny days are also a kind of weather, understand?"

"On a sunny day, the safety of the campus is very high."

Lin Yi asked again: "Can we only rely on the weather to define whether the campus is safe or dangerous?"

"Part of the basis is like this, of course, there are other reasons, such as…" Xie Huayang tugged at his sportswear, "We are more active during the day."

"Sports student?" Lin Yi asked tentatively, "Why?"

"Because during the day…" Xu Shunkang walked down, he looked at Lin Yi, grinned confidently and smiled, "Then this is our home field!"

Lin Yi opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, Xie Huayang waved his hand, refusing: "Okay, okay, you have a few too many questions. I'm telling you, these things that I'm telling you now, you can only think about them during the day. If it's at night…"

"Unless you return to the dormitory, otherwise, as long as you overthink, it's easy to cross the line, you know the consequences, hehe."

Xu Shunkang patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and said: "Although, but, we still don't want you to think too much."

"According to my understanding, this campus has buried too many secrets since its establishment. The school probably doesn't want anyone to explore, unless…"

"Unless what?" Wei Liang leaned over and asked cautiously.

"Why the hell are you also leaning over?" Xie Huayang glared at him, then showed a serious expression, lowered his voice, and threatened:

"Unless… you don't want to leave."

"Damn!" Wei Liang was startled, "What the hell do you mean by not wanting to leave?"

Xu Shunkang spread his hands and said: "It means what it says, just 'not leaving'."

"Then… what about the experience bonus?" Wei Liang asked secretly.

"Experience bonus?" Xu Shunkang was stunned, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes. He thought for a long time before he dug out the information about the "experience bonus" from his memory, and then said speechlessly, "Twenty-five thousand for seven days? An extra three thousand per day after seven days, with no upper limit… is that what you guys are talking about?"

“That's not right, isn't it 30,000 for seven days?” Wei Liang said.

“Huh? 30,000 for seven days? It's already gone up by 5,000?” Xie Huayang was stunned.

Wei Liang was speechless. “That's not right, hasn't it always been 30,000?”

Xie Huayang muttered, “Damn it,” then said seriously, “The experience bonus has always been there, but if you don't leave within the specified time, even if you get the money, what good will it do you if you're stuck here?”

Lin Yi asked in confusion, “If you don't leave after seven days, will the school detain you?”

“Detain? Hahahaha…” Xie Huayang seemed to have heard a joke and couldn't help but laugh. “Listen to me, while there's still time, leave quickly!”

Xu Shunkang added seriously, “Leave now, while you haven't been… cough, before you encounter other problems, follow the security guard to the school gate, and you can still catch the school bus.”

Lin Yi shook his head and said, “But I still have roommates.”

“Your roommates…” Xie Huayang thought of what Lin Yi had said yesterday and ruthlessly shot him down. “There's nothing you can do, they can only fend for themselves, especially the one you said got separated from you yesterday.”

Lin Yi lowered his head and looked at the ground, his brow furrowed.

“Good luck to you!” Xu Shunkang patted him on the shoulder and then planned to walk back to his seat.

But at that moment, he suddenly noticed something, and his gaze suddenly became stern. “Damn it, there's a problem!”

He rushed to the edge of the podium, squatted down, and looked at the scattered fragments of the sculpture and the already shadow-transformed powder, a strong hostility appearing in his eyes.

His throat rolled slightly, and he made a low voice: “Last night, a sculpture appeared in the classroom!”

“Damn!” Xie Huayang also rushed to the edge of the podium, picked up a piece of the sculpture, and sniffed it near his nose. “The purity isn't high, it should have only started transforming recently, no wonder we didn't notice it at first!”

“Wait, let's talk outside!” Xu Shunkang gestured to Lin Yi and Wei Liang, signaling Xie Huayang not to speak in front of outsiders.

The two left the classroom one after the other and came to the corridor.

Looking at the figures on the window glass, Lin Yi could easily imagine the two were having a heated discussion.

Wei Liang tugged at Lin Yi's clothes.

Lin Yi turned his head and found Wei Liang smiling and handing over a few biscuits. “Xie Huayang didn't take my biscuits, I saved some for you, hehehe.”

Lin Yi looked up to the heavens speechlessly. “Aren't you afraid of knowing too much? Why do I feel like you've been eavesdropping the whole time?”

Wei Liang quickly shook his head and said seriously, “I didn't hear anything… really.”

Lin Yi thought of the flamboyant skills Wei Liang had shown along the way and could only helplessly say, “It's good as long as you believe it yourself.”

Wei Liang shrank his neck and chuckled, “Hehehe… How are you planning to spend the morning class? Reading manga, or… novels?”

Lin Yi said without thinking, “Let's go bask in the sun.”

Wei Liang was stunned, but immediately understood Lin Yi's thoughts.

“Bask… let's bask then.” Wei Liang said, planning to walk out of the classroom.

“Liangzi, wait a minute!” Lin Yi said, “Don't leave the classroom! Let's go to the window to bask in the sun.”

Although the courses in the campus are just formalities, “attending class” itself is a formality.

When class is in session, you cannot leave the classroom.

Even during the day.

…

May 7, 2023, 9:43 AM.

Class 2, Group B, the row by the window.

The clear yellow sunlight poured in through the window, Lin Yi and Wei Liang sat in the sun reading, the warm sunlight gradually dispelling the chill they had accumulated overnight, making them feel warm.

While Wei Liang went to the bookshelf to find manga, Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, then reached into his pocket and took out two folded pieces of paper.

One of the pieces of paper was a sticky note he had torn off, which read:

【Thinking about things that are confusing can cause fatigue, fatigue can make people sleepy, and sleepiness can attract classmates (it is said that the dormitory is a place to sleep, wait until you return to the dormitory to think about more problems, just make a record now.)】

Lin Yi looked at the words he had written on the paper, and thought of what Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang had said, then folded the paper up again.

He has now obtained the answer to the question recorded on this piece of paper.

「Thinking in the campus is roughly divided into two parts, one is thinking about normal situations…」

「The other is thinking about those 'unreasonable' things, including but not limited to: the problem of the street lights in the fog, and…」

He snapped his fingers.

「Wait…」

He reopened the folded piece of paper, and then, recalling what happened yesterday, wrote down some questions on the back, which he would think about briefly during the day.

“Simply write down a few questions:”

“1. The strange situation on campus seems to be related to the weather and time period, and it will change with the change of time period.”

“What is currently known is that the campus is safe on sunny days (under the sun) (source: physical education students, accuracy has not been verified yet)…”

He added several underlines to the words in parentheses, and then continued to write:

“The campus under abnormal weather (currently known as rainy and foggy weather) is strange and very dangerous.”

“The street lights will light up in foggy weather, but the spacing is very strange, some are very close and some are very far…”

“When walking towards the street lights, there will be calls, footsteps, and a rustling sound behind you (absolutely do not look back in abnormal weather (after writing this sentence, Lin Yi added another wave of underlines))…”

“The reasons for the above situations are temporarily unknown.”

Writing to this point, Lin Yi straightened his back, rubbed his chin, and organized in his mind the second thing he wanted to write down.

While thinking, he turned the pen and unconsciously looked out the window.

Suddenly, his pupils fluctuated violently.

Since S City University was built in a mountainous area, many buildings were built along the trend of the mountains, and the B teaching building was no exception.

One side of the B teaching building is a corridor, and at the end of the corridor is a neatly trimmed green belt.

And in the green belt, he clearly saw… a sculpture.

That was an incomplete sculpture, the creator used exaggerated skill to sculpt a pair of wide eyes and a wide mouth for it, using struggling and twisted expressions to depict a terrible expression full of fear.

Just looking at it, it seems that you can feel a strong sense of terror and suffocation through the sculpture.

Lin Yi's pupils had already dilated in fright, because the appearance of that sculpture was exactly the same as someone in his memory!

The one who was killed by a classmate last night, the missing one—the little genius!
