Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Mao Feiyang had a flash of inspiration: "Speaking of which, I once heard a joke about a prison break."

"It's about a person who was imprisoned and contracted some kind of disease. First, they had their arm amputated, then their leg. When they had their other leg amputated and were about to send them home to be buried, the people in the prison suspected that they were carrying out a premeditated, piecemeal prison escape plan."

"Are you saying that this Mountain Man is doing the same thing?"

"Sounds like it." Mu Daxian didn't pay attention to the joke. His brow was still furrowed. "It shouldn't be... With the company's review mechanism, it's impossible to make such a low-level mistake."

"Don't even mention taking apart a set of exoskeletons, they should be able to detect it even if they took apart a computer. Could it be... deliberately turning a blind eye?"

Mu Daxian reached out and gently touched the soil, then calmed down to feel it.

At that moment, Mao Feiyang felt as if an invisible wave spread out from Mu Daxian's body like ripples…

But Mu Daxian quickly stood up. He patted the dirt off his hands, then looked in the direction where the Mountain Man disappeared, and sighed: "I can't find too many other traces. It's probably really related to the company."

"'Company'?" Mao Feiyang asked in confusion. He had heard the word "company" from Mu Daxian twice already. "Brother Xian, what company are you talking about?"

Lin Yi also pricked up his ears. He had heard the word "company" one more time than Mao Feiyang, from the head teacher - 039.

【It's fundamentally impossible to let you in.】

This was the head teacher - 039's words.

【The company shouldn't have failed to find out.】

This was Mu Daxian's words.

From this, it can be seen that the company seems to have a certain review mechanism for people entering the school.

But other than that, Lin Yi didn't understand anything.

"Isn't it the company that released the 'S City University Life Experience Program'?" Mu Daxian said, "When you submit your application for the S City University experience online, all your information will be retrieved by the company's review agency…"

"That's right, all of it."

"The company is officially established and specializes in investigating and researching things related to extraordinary powers. It shares more than 99% of its database with the European Union, so its database must have you…"

"Only those who pass the review mechanism can obtain the qualification of an experience student and be transported to S City University by the company's exclusive vehicle."

"Even so, all personal belongings will be strictly controlled before getting on the bus, so theoretically, there is no situation where a Mountain Man brings an exoskeleton into the campus."

"It's only possible that the company deliberately let him in."

《Only Possible》

《Deliberately》

These two words exploded in Lin Yi's ears like spring thunder.

But... it seems that both the head teacher - 039 and Mu Daxian firmly believe in the company's review mechanism and don't think there are any loopholes.

At this time, Mao Feiyang asked again: "Then what is the relationship between the company and the school? Is it cooperation?"

Mu Daxian shook his head and said: "It's not cooperation, it's subordination."

"S City University... is one of the company's... um, you can temporarily understand it as one of the company's agencies."

"An agency that studies extraordinary powers?" Mao Feiyang asked.

Mu Daxian shook his head again: "'Research' is also a last resort. It's like you get sick, you can't heal or cure yourself, so you must study things related to the disease to find a way to fight it."

Mao Feiyang said: "Extraordinary power... is a disease?"

"No matter how magical a power is, as long as it can't be controlled, the negative effects will always outweigh the positive effects." Mu Daxian said, "Don't forget, what do we call it?"

"'Pollution'."

"For current humans, extraordinary power is essentially a pollution, a virus."

"It is also a... powerful enough unknown editor to tamper with or directly overwrite human DNA from the essence or even unknown levels."

"Then... what about the school?" Mao Feiyang pursed his lips, "What is the school's position in the overall situation? I mean... what is the positioning of experience students here?"

"Could it be raising Gu? Gathering a large number of experience students who don't know anything, selecting seedlings of sports students or art students from them, and then cultivating them?"

"The rest... don't care about their life or death?"

"Let them turn into night walkers or pseudo-humans?"

Mu Daxian looked at Mao Feiyang, whose face was a little ugly, and smiled helplessly: "What are you thinking? Are you thinking so badly of the official?"

"Actually... alas, although I have told you a lot of things, I can't tell you about this aspect yet. I can only say... the official's purpose is to protect you."

"'Us'?"

"That's right, 'you' - those who know nothing about the situation here... you."

"You are responsible for a peaceful life, and the officials are responsible for leading us to move forward with heavy burdens."

"Now... it's because a peaceful life is difficult to achieve, so we have to ask you to help a little bit and replenish some manpower... that's it."

Mao Feiyang was silent after hearing this.

Mu Daxian also stopped talking. After shaking off the dust on his body, he began to lead Mao Feiyang from the deep forest towards the green belt.

When they arrived in the green belt and went around to the teaching building area, the students in the teaching building had almost all left.

"That's good, the people have almost left, so there is no need to worry about unexpected problems." Mu Daxian smiled, "Let's go, let's go to the office of Class 2, Group B, and see the new head teacher."

「Class 2, Group B?」 Lin Yi was stunned, and then slapped his head. Ah, the class Mu Daxian registered in was Class 2, Group B!

Wait, the current time…

Damn!

This time is just the meal time!

In other words, at this point on May 8th, he just went to the cafeteria… and also took Li Huiyuan to the convenience store.

Perfectly missed it!

「Alas!」

Even with Lin Yi's temperament and temper, he couldn't help but sigh, "This is fate ~"

…

Mu Daxian quickly led Mao Feiyang out of the green belt, stepped onto the cobblestone road, and walked towards the teaching building.

"Hey, Brother Xian, the number of that street lamp just now was '102'!" Mao Feiyang suddenly said, pointing to a street lamp pole beside him.

"What's wrong with 102?"

"102!" Mao Feiyang scratched his head, pointing to the green belt and said, "That, that, there is an abandoned street lamp pole over there, and the base has the number 「Teaching Building - 102」! I shouldn't have remembered it wrong! Why is there one here too?"

Mu Daxian shook his head helplessly after hearing this, and then said: "This is because both of these are 「Teaching Building - 102」."

"Ah? Why?"

"Spare tire." As soon as Mu Daxian spoke, Mao Feiyang immediately understood.

"Are you saying that one of these two is a spare tire?"

“The meaning is this meaning, but the logic isn't this logic.” Mu Daxian said as he walked, “After a lamppost is built, its number will be engraved on the base. The location of each lamppost in the campus is fixed.”

“Once a lamppost over there is found to be missing, a new lamppost needs to be installed.”

“Lamppost… missing?! ” Mao Feiyang was dumbfounded, “Does this thing even pull itself out and run away? Is it a War Ancient Tree-style lamppost? Can it even move positions?”

God damn, God damn War Ancient Tree… Lin Yi reached out and扶额, his forehead covered with speechless black lines.

Please, that's the stretching and distortion of the campus space after the layer fell…

But Lin Yi thought of this and suddenly realized that there was an information gap between Mao Feiyang and him, so he didn't know this.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu吧!

That's normal…

The corners of Mu Daxian's mouth twitched fiercely, and then he said: “How should I put it, it would take more time to explain this to you now.”

“Just listen.”

“The logic is like this…”

“When the gray fog invasion occurred, the new pseudo-humans listened to the 'call' and used themselves to wear away the extraordinary power of the lampposts. When the extraordinary power of the lampposts is exhausted, they will also lose their extraordinary characteristics.”

“The lamppost number is like a scale on a thermometer. Its existence means that the extraordinary power of the lamppost still exists, and its disappearance means that the extraordinary power has been exhausted.”

“If the lamppost only loses its extraordinary power, then it can be repaired from any position above 0 as long as it is replenished in time, but if it becomes 0 and cannot be pulled back, the bulb needs to be replaced…”

“And if the situation you just mentioned occurs, it means that after the extraordinary characteristic of the previous 「Teaching Building - 102」 was worn away, it was dragged away by the Night Walker, so the 「Teaching Building - 102」 was abandoned in the mountains.”

“And the 「Teaching Building - 102」 lamppost you see now was reinstalled by the black-aproned chef later.”

“This was installed by the black-aproned chef?” Mao Feiyang asked in surprise.

“‘Logistics’!” Mu Daxian said, “Repairing water pipes, installing lampposts, building walls… The so-called ability to repair everything in literature and gallop on the battlefield in martial arts, the black-aproned chef is the S City University's logistics team.”

“Okay…” Mao Feiyang thought to himself that this black-aproned chef can do everything except cook…

Mu Daxian suddenly said: “That's why I said that the mountain man's action was a premeditated and planned action.”

“You mean… the mountain man even calculated that the lamppost would be abandoned?” Mao Feiyang quickly understood the meaning of Mu Daxian's words.

Mu Daxian nodded and shook his head: “It must not be his own calculation, it should be a team.”

“This team is very close to certain factions in the company, so they can open this back door and quietly transport some things in.”

“Moreover, they can bury them next to the base of a lamppost that is ‘certain’ to be abandoned… They have eyes and ears everywhere, they really have eyes and ears everywhere!”

Mu Daxian couldn't help but sigh.

When Mao Feiyang heard this, he couldn't even come up with his usual witty remarks for a while… Behind this mountain man, there is actually an unfathomable small group?

“But then again… Brother Xian, how do you know everything?” Mao Feiyang asked curiously.

Mu Daxian waved his hand, acting pretentious: “Alas, this is a small matter, not to be mentioned to outsiders.”

Mao Feiyang curled his lips, thinking that if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Why do you have to show off?

“Then should we be wary of him?”

“Be wary of what? People put on their exoskeletons and become mecha Tarzans, jumping around and leaving. We don't know what they're doing, so why bother with him?” Mu Daxian said indifferently, “We just need to take care of ourselves, it doesn't matter what he does.”

“Will he… do something bad?”

“It won't be too bad.” Mu Daxian shook his head, “Never underestimate the power of the company.”

“Being allowed in by the company means that the mountain man's actions are at least beneficial to the company. On this basis, whether the mountain man has any immediate selfish motives or does something private, we can't take care of it.”

“Besides, if he doesn't have eyes and does something stupid and jumps in my face, I'll just twist his head off.”

Mu Daxian's tone was calm, but Mao Feiyang knew that Mu Daxian was not joking at all.

“Brother Xian is awesome.” Mao Feiyang nodded and bowed, giving a thumbs up, with the air of a eunuch flattering his master.

Mu Daxian was a little taken aback by Mao Feiyang, who wasn't making witty remarks, but at this time, they had just arrived in front of the teaching building. Mu Daxian then walked up the steps and planned to knock on the door of the B Group 2 Class office. Just as he stepped onto the steps, he suddenly noticed that Mao Feiyang had stopped at the bottom of the steps and raised his head in a somewhat strange manner.

“What's wrong, is your neck sore?” Mu Daxian asked.

Mao Feiyang glanced at the sky and then withdrew his gaze: “It's nothing… I seem to have seen the Art Building from here before.”

Hearing this, Mu Daxian's expression changed slightly: “Don't scare me, wasn't the last time you came here last night? Are you bewitched?”

“Uh… I can't really say, it's just very strange.” Mao Feiyang shook his head and didn't say much, silently climbing the steps.

Lin Yi was secretly shocked. The position Mao Feiyang was standing just now was the position he was standing when he interacted with Mao Feiyang's vision on May 7th.

He also knew that Mao Feiyang looked up just now… Could it be that he was trying to find the shadow of the Art Building in the sky?

But the location of the Art Building should be by the sea, how could it appear in the sky?

Wait, could it be… a mirage? A thought popped into Lin Yi's mind for no reason.

At this time, Mu Daxian knocked on the office door.

「Knock knock!」

A few seconds later, a gentle female voice sounded from behind the door: “Who is it?”

This time it was the voice of the class teacher - 040.

“Art student Mu Daxian, number ‘Month - X0210905182’, I'm here to register and go to the classroom to do something and then leave.” Mu Daxian responded.

「Click!」

The peephole slid open, and the beautiful eyes of the class teacher - 040 appeared behind the peephole.

“Who is that person next to you?”

“My name is Mao Feiyang, and I'm also an art student. My art student number is ‘Month - X02305070323’.” Mao Feiyang said quickly.

“Okay, please wait a moment.” The class teacher - 040 finished speaking and closed the peephole, and there was no movement for a while.

After waiting for a while, Mao Feiyang couldn't help but whispered: “Brother Xian, why isn't she moving?”
