Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Lin Yi's heart trembled slightly.

Seen before?

How could I have seen him before?

"Seen before?" Lin Yi's eyes revealed a look of doubt. He didn't need to act; he really hadn't seen Song Rentou before.

"Then perhaps I remembered wrongly. Sorry," Song Rentou said, revealing an embarrassed expression.

"It's nothing," Lin Yi replied plainly, then turned and pressed the door handle, walking out of the classroom.

"Ka… … Peng!"

The moment he closed the classroom door behind him, Lin Yi let out a long breath. Those brief few sentences had made him tense all over, as if facing a great enemy.

Of course, there was some element of "guilty conscience" in this.

Lin Yi adjusted his breathing, feeling that even if he hadn't been drenched in sweat just now, he had at least broken out in a cold sweat.

He had originally planned to use the excuse of going to the toilet to walk past the podium, take a look at Song Rentou's sign-in sheet, and also glance at Song Rentou.

But what he hadn't expected was that when he got close to Song Rentou, he suddenly felt something like a domain or aura emanating from Song Rentou… …

This unprecedented change caught Lin Yi off guard, but it also convinced him that Song Rentou was suspicious.

Originally, he hadn't planned to go to the toilet, but now it was different.

He calmed his mind, then leaned against the wall, stood up, and walked towards the restroom.

He needed to go to the restroom, not to use the toilet, but to… …

Look in the mirror.

… …

Watching the closed classroom door, Song Rentou revealed a thoughtful expression.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he abruptly looked towards a certain spot in the lecture hall.

But he saw an empty classroom. In a corner of the classroom, Hu Chuanzhang was taking something out of his bag.

He narrowed his eyes and continued to observe the classroom, vaguely feeling that he had been watched by someone just now, but… … he didn't see anything. Finally, his gaze fell on the bookshelf area at the back of the lecture hall… …

… …

May 9, X023, 8:19 AM, Teaching Building B, corridor.

At this time, students were already returning from the cafeteria one after another. Lin Yi didn't pay attention to them, walking straight through the corridor, past the corner, and saw the path leading to the restroom.

But at this moment, his gaze was drawn to the elevator lobby in the other direction of this path.

"This elevator lobby… … Maozi and Mu Daxian returned to the Arts Building from here! So inside here… … were there once four Grinning Angels lurking?!"

As if like a boomerang, a sentence from the "Teaching Building Rules" flashed through Lin Yi's mind:

[The teaching building has only four floors… … there are no elevators… … If you inadvertently discover areas other than the four floors of the teaching building, you are prohibited from going there.

If anyone invites you to go to the above areas, please refuse. If you cannot refuse, please seek help from the nearest physical education student or physical education teacher. If necessary, you can seek help from the security guard.

Be wary of anyone who exhibits the above behavior. They are no longer the people you know.]

The seemingly well-understood words became even more chilling after knowing the existence of the Grinning Angels!

He had thought that the reason for not getting close to the elevator was because there were Nightwalkers in the elevator. But it turned out that Nightwalkers were very deadly to trial students, but in front of art students and sports students, they were all just suckers… … It turned out that the Grinning Angels were the real threat in the elevator!

Lin Yi gradually understood why the rules in the school district had to be all-encompassing.

Because there was no need to explain it clearly.

Rather than saying that there were not only water snakes, pythons, and anacondas in the zoo… … it was better to directly say not to get close to the zoo.

Not only to prevent it from the source, but also to prevent it from the motivation, so that the trial students always remain at "zero", rather than "zero point something".

Looking at that elevator, Lin Yi suddenly thought again—no, Maozi and Mu Daxian did not return through this elevator!

They left on the morning of May 9th, but they didn't necessarily take this elevator. And on May 8th, it seemed that they first entered the elevator in Building A, and then arrived at the elevator lobby on the other side of this teaching building with five Grinning Angels.

On the contrary, this one had never been opened… …

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that the Grinning Angels are still in a certain layer of the elevator?"

"How to infer whether the Grinning Angels are there or not?"

"It can't be there all the time, right?"

"That's right! The Grinning Angels follow 'He-I'. Whether it's to escort or for something else, they at least won't appear when the layers are normal!"

These thoughts only arose in the flash of lightning when Lin Yi saw the elevator lobby. After a few breaths, he refocused his attention and walked to the sink in the restroom.

Just now, when he looked at Song Rentou, he felt some changes in his eyes. He felt that his eyeballs were about to be bloodshot or explode, both dry and uncomfortable. He didn't know what was going on… …

He wanted to wash his face, or at least wash his eyes, or at least look in the mirror to see what was happening with his eyes.

He turned on the faucet, and the water rushed out with a "whoosh", but the sound of the water immediately awakened the sound of the waves he had heard before, making him step back like a frightened bird.

He looked at the water and suddenly felt that he was a bit neurotic.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay… … just washing my face… …"

He took a deep breath, cupped some water in his palms, intending to wash his face, but listening to the "whooshing" sound of the water, he couldn't help but think of the rule [Do not close your eyes when showering in the bathroom], as well as the glorious achievement of crawling back after getting lost on the road to the gymnasium, and he couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

"Forget it… … if I wash my face like this, with my eyes opening and closing, I don't know where I'll fall to… …"

"I should wash my eyes… …"

So he opened one eye and closed the other, scooping up some water and starting to rub his eyes.

But as soon as the water touched his eyes, he immediately felt a burning, stinging sensation.

"Hiss—"

He shook his head violently and quickly rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, looking at the stream of water with lingering fear, with some trepidation on his face.

"What's going on… … is that water or fire?"

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and then slowly moved closer to the mirror.

If you didn't look closely, his eyes were quite normal.

But when he used his fingers to pull open his upper and lower eyelids, he immediately saw the blood vessels that were slowly retreating like spider webs at the edges of his eyeballs.

The hideous blood vessels were already similar to tentacles, making people feel a burst of palpitation. When they wriggled, it made people feel even more nauseous and disgusted, as if some worms were drilling in his eyes.

"Ah?! This… …"

He couldn't help but widen his eyelids, but at this moment, he strangely felt a bizarre illusion—that he didn't feel any obstruction or discomfort when opening his eyelids. If he kept doing this, wouldn't his eyeballs fall out…

He rotated his eyeballs, clearly seeing the tender flesh where the eye socket and eyeball connected, and the original blood vessels had retreated to some unknown place.

However, just at this moment, he suddenly noticed a flash of golden light in his eyes from the mirror…

"Huh?"

Strangely, when that golden light surged, he didn't feel any discomfort in his eyes; instead, he felt a refreshing sensation.

He opened his eyes wide and repeatedly looked at the mirror, but he couldn't see anything unusual anymore.

"What's going on…"

Although Lin Yi had previously experienced his eyes emitting crimson-gold light flames multiple times, he himself was unaware, so he was more puzzled than anything else at this moment.

“Huff…”

Ignoring it for now, he exhaled and pondered for a moment before deciding to return to the classroom first. So, he turned on the faucet, preparing to leave.

However, even though he had tightened the faucet, the "哗哗" (shuā shuā - whooshing) sound of water was still audible.

He retightened the faucet, but found that it was indeed tightly closed.

"?"

A look of confusion couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

Just then, he faintly heard a strange call in his ear…

[Lin Yi… Lin Yi… ]

His body trembled, and he realized in horror the source of the sound…

[Latest⊥Novel⊥at⊥Six⊥9⊥Books⊥Bar⊥First⊥Release!]

It was the mirror.

The sound came from within the mirror!

He suddenly looked up and saw himself in the mirror…

“This?! ! ” His hair stood on end, and a chill circled above his head.

The self in the mirror had no face. The muscles around the sunken eye sockets twitched, as if mimicking his own terrified expression. The mouth area, without a mouth, even had the sound of opening and closing as if speaking…

The outline of the face was both strange and familiar, like his own faceless self, but he had never seen himself like that before, so it felt absurd and unfamiliar.

[Lin Yi, run!]

[Run now!!!]

[Run out of the school district! Run now!]

[Hurry… run!]

[Run!]

The faceless man in the mirror frantically pounded on the mirror, as if trying to shatter it and crawl out, scaring Lin Yi into feeling like he was frozen in place, unable to move!

The faceless face in the mirror seemed to be approaching his own face, getting closer and closer, and the roaring sound was getting louder and louder!

[They are all deceiving you!]

[They are using you!!!]

[Kill Wei Liang!!!]

[Kill him!!!]

[Run! Run!!]

[Run! Lin Yi!! Run!!]

Lin Yi's breathing gradually became heavy. Hot air began to spew from his mouth and nose. He felt an extremely manic power awakening within him. He didn't want to run; he wanted to…

Smash this mirror!

Suddenly, a hand landed on Lin Yi's shoulder.

“Roar!”

Lin Yi let out a low roar, his shoulder shaking. He blocked the hand with one hand, but the next moment, the other person rotated their arm, and like a Tai Chi cloud hand, precisely and accurately grabbed his wrist.

Lin Yi subconsciously struggled, but couldn't break free at all.

The other person was very strong.

“Hey, Lin Yi, are you okay?” At this moment, the other person's calm and somewhat familiar voice rang in his ear, causing him to pause.

Lin Yi turned his head to look.

“Xu Shunkang?”

“It's me.” Xu Shunkang released the hand that was holding Lin Yi's wrist, shook it, and grinned, “You're quite strong.”

Quite strong, but still couldn't break free… Lin Yi pursed his lips and hesitated, “Why are you here?”

“Came to check on the casualties, and I'm leaving after I'm done.” Xu Shunkang said plainly, “What about you? Why are you 'wall-slamming' the mirror here? Are you feeling unwell?”

“Wall-slamming the mirror?” Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, suddenly realizing that he didn't know when he had climbed onto the mirror…

[Just now…?!] Lin Yi's eyes flickered. Just now, the faceless version of himself in the mirror rushed onto the mirror, trying to break out from it. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back, but… how did he end up lying on the mirror instead?

Could it be… that he approached the mirror, which made the self in the mirror look like it was impacting the mirror?!

He glanced at the mirror with some trepidation. The self in the mirror had a pale face with lingering fear, but it was no longer faceless.

He looked at the faucet. The tightened faucet didn't make any other sounds.

Everything was surprisingly normal. Only he seemed to be a little abnormal somewhere.

“Are you really okay?” Xu Shunkang asked with some concern.

“I… I should be fine for now.” Lin Yi hesitated.

Xu Shunkang nodded. “Okay then, it's good if you're okay. Remember to go to PE class this afternoon. Shall we go back to the classroom together?”

“Uh… okay.” Lin Yi replied.

On the way back to the classroom, Lin Yi suddenly asked, “By the way, what about Xie Huayang?”

“He's injured.” Xu Shunkang said, “It's normal.”

“Injured last night?” Lin Yi added, “Is it related to… 'Gray Mist Intrusion'?”

Xu Shunkang's footsteps suddenly stopped. An invisible aura seemed to gather around him. Lin Yi seemed to see a stream of sky-blue air flowing around him for a week in an instant…

Xu Shunkang slowly turned his head, looked at Lin Yi, narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice, “How did you know?”

Feeling the almost substantial pressure around Xu Shunkang, Lin Yi raised his hands. “Don't be nervous… I also… overheard it unintentionally…”

“Impossible, don't lie to me.” Xu Shunkang's imposing manner was overwhelming. When it came to Gray Mist Intrusion, he wasn't so easy to talk to.

Lin Yi had already prepared his explanation and quickly said, “It was someone wearing a dark green school uniform and carrying a drawing board… There also seemed to be words like 'Pseudo-person' and 'Chimes'… I didn't hear it very clearly… It seems to be related to some 'Art Building.' I don't know if it's the mysterious Art Building mentioned in the rules…”

“'Dark green school uniform', 'carrying a drawing board'…” Xu Shunkang repeatedly chewed on those keywords, and the pressure on Lin Yi gradually decreased.

Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that it was indeed like this—sports students and art students were originally one family, only responsible for different modules and parts of the "cognition" field.

And he also noticed a detail that really put Xu Shunkang at ease, which wasn't his mention of the “Art Building,” but “carrying a drawing board.”
