Rules-related weird stories: 4016

May 6, 2023, 18:54.

In the area where the teaching building of S City University is located, a chef wearing a green apron recommended spaghetti with tomato meat sauce to Lin Yi and the others, the scene frozen as if it were a relief.

Lin Yi paused for a second, the emotion of fear exploding in his mind at this moment, his body trembling subconsciously, but his brain was instead calm to the extreme.

He took a deep breath, then looked at the back of the security guard, not even glancing at the chef and the spaghetti with tomato meat sauce, then strode forward, following the security guard at a leisurely pace.

The chef looked at him with a smile, constantly recommending spaghetti with tomato meat sauce, his eyes always on him, and following his movements, slowly turning around like a puppet.

When Lin Yi brushed past the chef, he could clearly feel the mist churning, and he could also feel that there were no creatures radiating warmth around him.

But he could feel the gaze from the green-aproned chef, cold, greedy, vicious, naked… and, yearning.

The hair on his arms stood up all at once.

The others brushed past the green-aproned chef one after another, and none of them paid any attention to the chef's existence.

Mao Feiyang was walking at the end of the group, when Lin Yi's voice suddenly sounded from behind him as he was about to leave.

"Maozi."

Mao Feiyang subconsciously turned his head.

In the mist that was about to be swallowed by darkness, the green-aproned chef drooped his head, the curve of his mouth bent like a clown.

At this moment, a dull rumble of thunder rolled in the depths of the night sky.

Lightning flashed across the sky, and the campus suddenly lit up.

In the mist, strange shadows twisted and intertwined, they retreated into the depths of the mist, but always kept a tantalizing distance from everyone.

Mao Feiyang's pupils widened slightly.

Lin Yi's voice came from the green-aproned chef's mouth, with a hint of demonic flavor.

"Maozi."

"Maozi."

"Come with me."

"Come with me…"

"Hehehe…"

… …

「滴… …答… …」

A raindrop fell on Lin Yi's face.

Lin Yi looked at the sky, the dim night was falling down like a collapsed cave ceiling, making it suffocating.

Wei Liang's trembling voice sounded: "Old Lin, it's going to rain…"

Lin Yi was also a little panicked in his heart, he looked at the back of the security guard, but the other party still didn't show any intention of speeding up.

Even the employees in chef's uniforms following behind didn't react at all.

So he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "How far is it from the cafeteria to the teaching building?"

"Huh?" Wei Liang was stunned.

Lin Yi glared at him: "Haven't you been here before? How long does it take to walk from the teaching building to the cafeteria when you went to eat lunch?"

Wei Liang then reacted, then thought for a while, and said: "About… ten minutes or so, but that's under normal circumstances."

"What do you mean by 'normal circumstances'?"

"Normal circumstances are when the fog isn't too thick. The weather now is very abnormal."

Lin Yi quickly looked at the time.

19:13.

"19:13… We met the security guard before six thirty, and it's been more than 40 minutes now…"

He narrowed his eyes.

Tian Bufan touched his nose and muttered thoughtfully: "The student handbook says that once you encounter abnormal weather, you must take shelter in the nearest place as soon as possible, and even some rules can be ignored…"

"Now it seems that abnormal weather should be more dangerous than some strange buildings…"

Judging from the student handbook, this campus obviously has some abnormal buildings.

"But why?"

Tian Bufan touched the few raindrops that occasionally fell on his face, his brow furrowed slightly.

Lin Yi saw that Tian Bufan was thinking, so he didn't interrupt. Suddenly he noticed that not far in front of the security guard, a huge shadow loomed under the thick fog, like some kind of building.

Around the building, there were many dim spots of light like fireflies, which were street lights.

The light curtain cast by the street lights formed a passage, opening up a road under the thick fog.

A road that was visible to the naked eye that could lead to the building in front.

「Teaching building? Or… something else?」

Lin Yi's mind frantically rolled through every rule about buildings and abnormal weather in the student handbook, and finally came to a conclusion.

「The best solution to encountering abnormal weather is to follow the street lights to the nearest building to take shelter, and the second best is to stay where you are and wait for the security guard.」

Tian Bufan also thought of this and looked at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked at him after making his decision.

"Go?"

"Go."

"Let's go then!"

"I'll lead the way, you cover the rear! Liangzi, Wei Sang, Kuai Kuai, Maozi, go! Don't look back, don't care about anything, follow me!"

After Lin Yi roared, he ran away, using the light of the old kerosene lamp in the security guard's hand to rush towards the nearest lamppost.

Wei Liang took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and followed closely, gritting his teeth.

The others followed one after another.

"Maozi, you go first, I'll cover the rear."

Seeing Mao Feiyang standing there somewhat stiffly, Tian Bufan quickly patted Mao Feiyang on the shoulder.

Mao Feiyang seemed to be in a daze, glanced at Tian Bufan somewhat stiffly, and then immediately followed Kuai Hongji's back into the mist.

Tian Bufan frowned slightly and couldn't help but look back at the road he had come from.

The green-aproned chef had long disappeared, and only the dragon-like chef team, holding the iron chains in their hands, disappeared into the thick fog.

… …

Lin Yi charged through the mist like a lithe cheetah, but as he moved away from the light curtain formed by the kerosene lamp, the churning mist around him immediately surged towards him like a sea wave.

The sound of the sea waves was mixed with the low whispers and bizarre calls, like the sound of a whistle drifting in the wind from the other side of a distant world, turning into pairs of invisible palms, piercing through the mist and grabbing Lin Yi's limbs.

In that light whistle sound, it seemed to be mixed with some kind of strange whisper, the syllables of that sound were not any human language, the vague pronunciation seemed to be saying:

【fa… …nTo… …me… …】

【fanTo… …me… … fRa… …】

Accompanying the appearance of the sound, a strong sense of blockage like being trapped in a quagmire immediately enveloped Lin Yi.

「Damn!」 Lin Yi gritted his teeth, his pupils widened slightly. At this moment, he seemed to feel that some kind of ominous will was burrowing into his brain like a horsehair worm.

At this moment, the rustling sound of stones rubbing against the ground sounded again in the mist.

Losing the deterrence of the security guard and the old kerosene lamp, and the lamppost light curtain was a bit far away, the things in the mist immediately seized the best opportunity and approached at a faster speed.

The sense of oppression hung high above Lin Yi's head like a huge boulder, ready to crush him at any time.

At the critical moment, Lin Yi heard some calls from the wave-like whispers, the kind of call mixed in the 【fanTome】 sound, it sounded like—

"Lin Yi! Lin Yi!"

The voice came from behind him, like the urgent voice from Mao Feiyang's mouth.

He subconsciously wanted to turn around.

But at this moment, his scalp suddenly exploded, and his hair almost stood on end.

He instantly woke up.

「Student Handbook!」

「Don't look back!」

「Don't look back!」

So he stared at the lamppost in front of him, his eyes only on the lamppost.

At that moment, he seemed to be able to see the words on the lamppost!

「Teaching Building - 108」.

「Charge!」

Lin Yi burst out with unprecedented strength. Although every step he took was very difficult, the lamppost gave him a strong sense of security.

Especially a lamppost standing in front of the teaching building!

Lin Yi was almost lying on the cobblestone ground due to the suppression of the mist and the sense of blockage, like a person walking on the dunes in a sandstorm.

His eyes were also slightly red due to congestion, and a beast-like roar came from his throat.

One step, two steps, three steps…

Just as the thick fog was about to engulf him, a steady and powerful force came from his back.

"Go!" Wei Shan's deep roar sounded, and his powerful arm strength pushed Lin Yi through the thick fog.

「Po… …」

When he stepped into the range of the light, the amber-colored soft light curtain chopped down like a cutting knife, completely isolating the mist behind him.

At that moment, Lin Yi only felt that the mountain pressing on his body was shattered all at once, and an unprecedented sense of comfort permeated his body.

He grabbed a lamppost and looked back at the fog in the yellowish light. Wei Shan, Wei Liang, and others rushed in one after another. At the edge of the fog, dark shadows lurked and hid, and the whispers, sometimes near and sometimes far, were blown into a mess in the wind.

The newest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

"What exactly is in the fog? They seem very afraid of the light..."

Lin Yi looked around and found that the security guard had long disappeared, and he didn't know where the dragon-like queue had gone. The previous encounter was like a dream.

He looked again at the building that was almost standing in front of him, only a lamppost away.

The light curtains hanging between the lampposts were connected to each other, forming an hourglass-like passage.

"Drip, tap..."

A few raindrops fell, immediately tightening Lin Yi's nerves, who had just breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now is not the time to breathe a sigh of relief. We have only temporarily escaped the danger." Tian Bufan looked calmly at the building in front of him. "If I'm not mistaken, that should be the teaching building."

"Whether it is or not, let's go over and talk about it." Lin Yi looked down at his watch.

19:23.

"Just now, in those few steps, I ran for ten minutes?!"

Lin Yi was shocked, and this time, Tian Bufan had already taken the lead and walked forward.

"Let's go, what are you spacing out for?" Kuai Hongji nudged Lin Yi with his elbow, urging him.

"Coming." Lin Yi and Wei Liang quickly followed.

Looking at the backs of his roommates, Mao Feiyang stood there, a little dazed. Suddenly, Lin Yi's voice sounded again behind him.

"Maozi."

"Don't be dazed, hurry up!"

"Keep up with them!"

Mao Feiyang seemed to have a headache. He supported his forehead and shook his head lightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes from time to time.

"Maozi, hurry up!" Kuai Hongji's impatient urging came coldly from under the lamppost.

Mao Feiyang suddenly shuddered, and the calls lingering in his ears suddenly dissipated.

He realized something, and his back was already covered in cold sweat.

He ran away and caught up with his roommates.

...

Arriving at the last lamppost in front of the building, Lin Yi looked up.

The huge building not far in front of him towered into the dark and oppressive sky like a mountain, and the building was brightly lit, like a torch burning in the night.

"It's the teaching building."

Following Tian Bufan's gaze, the words "Teaching Building" were written on the building in huge letters, which could be seen clearly even in the dark night.

"We're at the teaching building." Only at this moment did Lin Yi's hanging heart finally relax.

However, Wei Liang screamed in horror: "That's not right! Lao Lin, that's not right! There's something wrong with this teaching building!"

Wei Liang pointed at the teaching building with a trembling hand, his voice extremely panicked: "The teaching building only has four floors... but it, it, it..."

Lin Yi was stunned and looked in the direction Wei Liang was pointing.

"One, two, three, four..."

"Five..."

"Six..."

"Seven..."

Faintly, there was also the eighth floor that penetrated into the depths of the foggy sky!

This?!

His eyes fluctuated violently, and his somewhat settled heart was suddenly raised again.

"It's not written in the student code!" he said.

Wei Liang said: "It's not written in the student code... but it's written in the teaching building code!"

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—

The fog rolled, and the drizzle was hazy.

The elusive whispers and the rustling sound of stones were exceptionally harsh, and the dull and humid environment seemed to be able to crush everyone's psychological defenses.

"There's no time to think so much, we must go in before the rain really starts!" Lin Yi lowered his voice.

In the face of unknown danger, it is impossible to avoid danger. The only thing that can be done is to choose a relatively less dangerous route.

"Go! To the teaching building!" Lin Yi took the lead and rushed to the teaching building.

...

Walking from the last lamppost to the teaching building, there were no problems. The normalcy made Lin Yi feel a little uneasy.

However, since entering the campus, Lin Yi had always had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, but this feeling was obviously relieved when he stepped on the steps of the teaching building.

Temporarily out of danger, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to observe the surrounding environment.

Although it is said on the Internet that this is a newly built campus, Lin Yi couldn't see any "brand new" traces from the teaching building. Thinking about it, under the catalysis of such bad weather and geographical environment, any building would present an old state.

However, what made Lin Yi feel gratified was that there were at least students in this teaching building, but they were in a hurry, and even if they brushed past, they didn't even look at them.

Even so, Lin Yi could still feel a kind of similar temperature from them, and this feeling was something he had never felt in the fog along the way...

"These should be the university life experience participants who arrived earlier. They are like Wei Liang when he came last time, without encountering this strange abnormal weather." Lin Yi thought.

After observing for a while, Tian Bufan immediately walked towards the stairwell of the teaching building.

Looking at Tian Bufan's back, Lin Yi couldn't help patting his head, and then shook his head gently. He felt that his thinking had become a little trance-like, as if some of his perceptions had been affected by the environment...

But he immediately noticed a conspicuous notice board standing not far away, so he suppressed this trance-like feeling.

He walked over and saw that the notice board read:

"Dear university life experience participants, when you see this notice board, it means that you have successfully overcome the influence of the abnormal weather and arrived at the teaching building. Please follow the instructions below, you will get a student ID and start your university life experience journey:

1. Please go to the first basement level of the teaching building along the stairs, and then look at the first door on the left. If the doorplate says 'Teacher's Office', please knock on the door and state your intention.

You will meet your head teacher, register in his/her hand and get your student ID."

"If what you see is not the 'Teacher's Office' but other rooms, please do not enter and continue down the stairs until you meet the Teacher's Office."

"2. Before you get your student ID, do not believe what anyone says, and do not step into any classrooms other than the Teacher's Office."

"After you get your student ID, please be careful and keep it safe. You can talk to other students about matters related to the student ID, but never lend the student ID to anyone, even if it's just to show it to others."

"It will be very troublesome if you lose your student ID. (This sentence is bold and underlined)"

"3. After getting the student ID, find the corresponding floor's classroom, and you can start your university life experience journey."

"4. If the situation you encounter does not match any of the above, and you feel that you are getting lost or experiencing some uncomfortable symptoms, please do not go downstairs anymore. Immediately go upstairs along the stairs on the left and leave when you see the sculpture standing at the entrance of the stairs."

"You will meet the art teacher and start an art journey."

"We wish you a pleasant experience."

After reading the notice, Lin Yi looked at the stairwell on the side.

The entrance to the stairwell was a heavy, cyan-gray isolated fire door, and the emergency exit sign emitted a green light.

Tian Bufan went over and pressed the door handle hard, slowly pulling the door open. A cold breath seeped out from the crack of the door, as if an underground ice cellar was hidden behind the door.

He opened the entire door, and the stairwell behind the door was a staircase leading to the basement.

The narrow and enclosed passage of the stairwell was hung with old-fashioned incandescent lamps, and the air was filled with dust mixed with the smell of earth. The visible gray mist particles almost occupied the entire passage, and it looked like a mine tunnel from the last century at a glance.

Just as he was about to enter the stairwell, Wei Liang suddenly grabbed his hand and exclaimed, "Lao Lin!"

Lin Yi turned his head in confusion.

Wei Liang's face under the duck-tongue cap was full of fear, and his voice trembled like a flag in the wind: "Lao Lin, don't go..."

"If I remember correctly, the teaching building... doesn't have a basement at all!"
