Rules-related weird stories: 4016

The boss glanced at him, then at Wei Liang and Xiao Zhouzi over there: "Alright, I'll have Xiao Zhouzi take him to swimming lessons later."

Lin Yi's lips twitched fiercely, and a strong and ominous premonition rose in his heart. He quickly said, "Ahem... Boss, Liangzi hopes to have a female sports student take him..."

"Female?" The boss frowned slightly.

Li Huiyuan also echoed, "Boss, Liangliangzi is a person who doesn't hide his... ahem, hobbies... If I remember correctly, he prefers lolis..."

Lin Yi added, "Ahem... No need to be so strict, just female is fine..."

The gymnasium is big, but where are there any loli sports students, damn it!

The requirements can't be too harsh. Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. Let's start with gender first...

"Boss, Liangzi, he..."

"Alright, I know what I'm doing. Take care of yourself first." The boss interrupted him and walked towards Wei Liang.

Lin Yi shrank his neck, thinking, Liangzi, ah, Liangzi, I really tried my best to help you this time.

Lin Yi glanced at Li Huiyuan again: "Then I'll go take a shower?"

"Together." Li Huiyuan had already recovered and said casually.

"Ah... Tog-Together?!" Lin Yi was startled.

Li Huiyuan glared at him: "Idiot! I mean walk together. I still need to wait for the boss to watch over me!"

"Right, right..." Lin Yi scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed smile.

The two then walked towards the locker room.

...

On the other side, Wei Liang, who was constantly paying attention to Lin Yi's movements, quickly jumped down from the rings: "Let's go, Lao Lin is moving!"

"He's probably done training," Xiao Zhouzi said naturally.

Wei Liang said seriously: "My intuition tells me that Lao Lin should be going swimming!"

"You're still thinking about swimming?"

"Didn't I come so early just to swim with a beautiful female sports student?"

"Bro, your motive is impure!" Xiao Zhouzi said speechlessly.

Wei Liang looked calm: "I'm a true villain who only cares about profit and is moved by beauty. What do you take me for, a saint?"

Xiao Zhouzi was stunned by Wei Liang's calmness. How could a villain say he's a villain?

"Bro, the more you say that, the less you seem like one."

Wei Liang was sweating profusely: "Isn't... Bro, your logic is like arresting a murderer and demanding him to show his ID card and get a number first!"

"Can't you be flexible? Just simply introduce a cute female sports student so I can enjoy a moment of peace and relaxation from my heavy studies, damn it!"

"I..." Xiao Zhouzi felt a little wronged.

Just then, someone nudged Xiao Zhouzi and whispered, "The boss is here!"

Xiao Zhouzi quickly glanced around and then stood up straight, like a child seeing his drill sergeant.

The surrounding sports students also straightened up one by one, losing the lazy, carefree look they had at the beginning.

Wei Liang took a breath of cold air, infected by the surrounding atmosphere, and also stood up straight subconsciously.

But the boss didn't seem to be looking for trouble with them. His eyes casually swept over everyone, and then he said, "Xiao Xuzi... Xiao Yizi..."

Xu Shunkang's body tensed up subconsciously, and he scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed smile, shrinking his neck: "Hehe, boss..."

"You two come with me." After the boss finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the locker room.

Xu Shunkang looked at the boss's back, his mind racing, but he couldn't figure out why the boss was looking for him.

"Lao Xu, did you speak too loudly just now and the boss heard you?" Xiao Yizi was the sports student who had been laughing and joking with Xu Shunkang. He couldn't help but say at this moment.

Xu Shunkang glared at him: "Damn, Yi Hang, that's not fair. You were the one who gossiped the most just now. Are you screwed now!"

Yi Hang's eyes flickered, and he scratched his head: "Re-Really?"

Xu Shunkang patted him, then put his arm around his shoulder and gritted his teeth: "Let's go! We'll die together!"

Yi Hang stiffened and moved his feet with some difficulty.

...

May 9, 2023, 14:26, Gymnastics Hall Men's Locker Room.

After separating from Li Huiyuan and entering the men's locker room, Lin Yi hadn't taken a few steps when he felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.

He narrowed his eyes, and his pace slowed down a lot, like an adventurer stepping into the territory of a beast in a crisis-ridden forest.

The men's locker room was unusually quiet, with only the bright lights on, making the rows of lockers look strangely eerie, as cold and deserted as an empty pharmacy in a hospital.

Just as Lin Yi approached the shower area, a voice stopped him.

"Lin Yi, you've finally arrived."

Lin Yi was startled and quickly looked over, only to see a tall, muscular sports student standing in the steam of the shower area, greeting him.

"Li Kai?" Lin Yi recognized him at a glance.

Pseudo-Man Li Kai said calmly: "The boss specifically asked me to come over and watch you shower. Hurry up."

Lin Yi quickly said: "Okay, okay, wait a moment, I'll get my bath towel and towel."

Pseudo-Man Li Kai looked at him quietly, nodded, but didn't say anything.

Lin Yi then walked to his locker, then silently swiped open the locker door and began to organize the bath towel and towel in the locker...

His movements were very, very slow, like he was dawdling and didn't know what he was doing, but from the back, he looked very busy.

He narrowed his eyes, his mind spinning wildly, constantly thinking about some questions...

Because he felt something was wrong as soon as he entered the locker room, and this wrongness was completely confirmed when he saw "Li Kai."

"This locker room is problematic this time, and the source of the problem... is this 'Li Kai'!"

Lin Yi felt a little sad.

He was certain that the Li Kai in front of him was not the Li Kai he had seen for the first time.

The current Li Kai exuded an aura that made him uncomfortable, an aura like a rotten apple in a garden full of blooming flowers, clear and disgusting.

"He's not 'Li Kai'..."

Intuition told Lin Yi that this wasn't even Li Kai's state after being deeply corrupted, but more like a Night Kind who had taken Li Kai's form...

"Was Li Kai murdered?"

"Did he encounter the green bib chef?"

"Or did he encounter other sudden situations..."

"No, no, no... Now is not the time to think about this!"

"With the boss's ability, she could tell at a glance that this Li Kai has a problem, but not only did she not expose him, but she also specifically asked this Li Kai to be the one to watch over me while I shower..."

"Why would the boss arrange this?"

"Is it to let me solve it? Then why not just kill it directly?"

The boss could definitely obliterate it, but he didn't. Instead, he went to great lengths to arrange all these roundabout maneuvers. It could only be…

"Could it be a form of training?"

"To let me take it down?"

"Or… to let me have contact with it?"

"But if that's the case, why didn't the boss just tell me directly?"

He silently took down the things he had hung up, one by one, and began to recall the content in the 'Gymnasium Rules' that corresponded to this situation.

【Within the gymnasium, you can unconditionally trust the PE teacher and the PE students…

But please remember, PE students are those wearing blue and white sportswear, and do not have student IDs.

The most ⊥ updated ⊥ novel ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ book ⊥ bar ⊥ first ⊥ release!

If you encounter a PE teacher or PE student who does not match the above description, please strictly follow these instructions:

…

If they come to you, please maintain normal communication with them. You may comply with their arrangements, but absolutely do not follow them out of the experience area.

During this process, please try to remember the information on the PE teacher's name tag, the PE student's name, and their physical characteristics. Then, after separating from them, tell the PE teacher or PE student nearest to you about this as soon as possible.】

"The only useful rule right now is 'absolutely do not follow them out of the experience area.' As for remembering names and telling PE students, I don't need to do any of that! The boss already knows!"

Lin Yi exhaled and stroked his chin.

"So, this rule is no longer significant to me…"

"Then, excluding all other possibilities, the only thing left is that this is an intentional arrangement by the boss…"

"The boss didn't tell me, is it so I have to do everything myself, starting from the judgment?"

"I understand. Then, the rest is to improvise…"

Just then, Lin Yi suddenly heard a low voice from behind.

"Lin Yi, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why aren't you ready yet?"

Lin Yi's heart trembled. He glanced at the poorly reflective locker wall and immediately saw the strange figure standing behind him in the reflection of the fluorescent light.

Imposter Li Kai.

"Okay, okay!" Lin Yi grabbed the towel in his hand and gently closed the locker door. "I'm going to take a shower now."

He turned around, brushed past Imposter Li Kai, and walked into the shower area.

The temperature in the shower area was much higher than in the locker room. Although there wasn't a single person inside, it was still filled with a misty haze.

As soon as he entered the shower area, the ominous feeling in Lin Yi's heart became stronger. Some flickering images began to appear before his eyes. The originally clean and tidy non-slip floor covering actually showed some ketchup stains…

They clung to the non-slip floor covering, as if they couldn't be washed away no matter how hard he tried.

But in his normal vision, he still saw it as clean.

An uncontrollable thought surfaced in his mind:

"Someone died here… the aura hasn't dissipated!"

He tried to remain calm, avoiding any intense emotional fluctuations, and then seemingly casually surveyed the environment of the shower area.

"That one, I guess."

Having said that, he walked to the shower stall and closed the waterproof curtain behind him.

Only at this moment did the tension in his body, which had been present since he stood in front of the locker, ease slightly.

He moved the showerhead to the side a bit, aiming it at the side wall of the shower, and then turned on the faucet a little.

"Chi—"

Water sprayed out, and mist slowly filled the air.

Lin Yi's attention was focused on the waterproof curtain.

This was the reason he chose this shower stall—he sensed a sky-blue aura from here!

And when he came in, he finally found the object that emitted the sky-blue aura—the waterproof curtain!

A PE student had once used the sky-blue aura to leave information on this waterproof curtain!

That's right, that person was Lao Yan.

After bracing himself for certain death, Lao Yan rushed into the shower and, while being washed by the showerhead's water, left his last words on the waterproof curtain.

"I am Yan Bujiao…"

"A Green Skin has revived…"

"I will take care of it…"

"Quickly check the source…"

"Beware of Li Kai…"

The number of words was very small, and the sentences were very short. One could imagine how urgent the situation was at the time. This PE student named Yan Bujiao didn't even have time to elaborate on the situation.

"'I will take care of it'…"

Putting some details together, Lin Yi's mind quickly pieced together a rough picture of the truth.

"Li Kai must have been showering, and Yan Bujiao was keeping watch for him…"

"While keeping watch, he was attacked by the Green Apron Chef… just like I was last time."

"But he didn't run. Perhaps the reason was that he couldn't leave while keeping watch, or maybe he just intended to take down the Green Apron Chef at the time…"

PE students can take down the Green Apron Chef. This is Lin Yi's perception of PE students. Of course, now it seems that the reference point for this perception is the boss, so there is some deviation in the estimation of combat power…

"Yan Bujiao must have perished together with that Green Apron Chef… the ketchup on the ground must be what they left behind…"

"Without Yan Bujiao keeping watch, Li Kai probably also had a problem, which is why the 'Imposter Li Kai' that I'm encountering now appeared…"

"If that's the case, then the time they were killed should be… not long after I arrived in the locker room?!"

Lin Yi didn't expect that while he was doing warm-up exercises with the duffel bag, this thrilling scene had already occurred in the locker room not far away…

And even the boss didn't sense what happened here.

"Then… if Li Kai was showering at the time, there shouldn't have been any problems. The only explanation is that he violated the rules that need to be followed while showering."

Lin Yi pondered for a while. Seeing that he hadn't sensed any malice from Imposter Li Kai so far, he untied the bath towel, placed it aside, and then took the showerhead in his hand, slowly and steadily washing his body.

His mind began to conjure up the rules within the gymnasium area, then accurately filtered and located the part of the rules related to showering…

Out of prudence, he thought the PE student's rules might be more detailed, but since he couldn't see them now, he could only use the limited conditions to deduce them.

And because the showering rules were directly marked on the sign at the entrance of the gymnasium, they should have great universality.
