Rules-related weird stories: 4016

The little girl suddenly began to hum a song, but her ditty always lingered on the same lyrics:

[Brother, brother, you're so bad~ Laughing at sister's dull saw~]

[That tree is really nice~ I'll hang brother up, split apart~]

… …

[Brother, brother, you're so bad~ Laughing at sister's dull saw~]

[That tree is really nice~ I'll hang brother up, split apart~]

… …

Accompanied by the humming, the little girl seemed to get into the rhythm, sawing more and more happily.

The endless pain caused Lin Yi to change from running to a jog, then to stumbling a few steps and walking a few steps. This kind of pain felt like eternal torment, disturbing his mind and leaving him helpless. At one point, he even had the thought of cutting off his own arm.

He felt his vision was a little blurry, and his spirit began to wither. In order to block the pain, his brain began to numb his consciousness.

He felt death was imminent. Neither the Night Watchman "02" nor Lao Mo could have predicted this situation. The ever-victorious old kerosene lamp seemed like a firefly facing the bright moonlight in front of "Amon's Music Box."

And his proud "Golden Body" was completely countered by the little girl's saw.

He really couldn't imagine why this light and seemingly non-existent little girl could use such a saw!

"Wait… Wait wait wait!"

A flash of inspiration struck his mind—

"'Non-existent little girl'!"

He seemed to have caught a glimpse of inspiration for self-rescue!

This little girl is a kind of will of the "Law-Weaver" penetrating the layers, then that saw must not be an item in the real world!

Since it is not a real-world item, how can it saw off his arm?

Could it be the substantialization of extraordinary power guided by the infiltrating pollution?

He did remember that in the giant egg, Xu Shunkang and another second-level sports student cooperated to condense a baseball with extraordinary power and knocked Song Ren down.

If it is a similar petrification, then this saw... to some extent, it is similar to a baseball?!

And if that's the case…

"Boom—"

Lin Yi suddenly understood, as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining. He knew!

"It's a 'Mystic Rune'!"

That saw was formed after the Mystic Rune condensed extraordinary power!

And the Mystic Rune used to condense the saw is—the one that was carved on his arm using the scar when that invisible force touched his arm!

"There is no little girl at all!"

"From the beginning, there was only that kind of invisible and unobservable mysterious power—that kind of power that the 'Law-Weaver' permeated through time and space after being 'Time-Exiled'!"

"My 'cognition' cannot determine the existence of this power, so it formed the 'cognition' of 'little girl' according to the sound of the nursery rhyme!"

"In addition to Lao Mo and the Night Watchman's affirmation of this, my 'cognition' in this area has been triply anchored, and the image of the 'little girl' is deeply rooted in my heart!"

But in fact, the infiltrating power is like dust floating in the air, invisible, formless, elusive, incomprehensible, and unobservable…

"Nothingness" is the essence of the form, and "little girl" is his self-overwritten cognition!

And after his cognition was self-anchored, he "understood" the behavior of that invisible force "on his own"!

That force branded the Mystic Rune on his hand. The process of branding was recognized by him as the little girl licking his wound, and then the cutting process actually existed from the beginning, but at that time he thought it was the Mystic Rune infiltrating into the flesh!

Actually, it wasn't. From the beginning, he didn't "recognize" the existence of the hacksaw. The invisible force was anchored according to his "cognition"!

Moreover, he was also guided to believe that "his arm would be sawed off." Under such an anchor point, his arm would really be sawed off!

He figured out the logic in it, and the spirit of the whole person instantly became different.

"So the root of all this is that Mystic Rune!"

He looked at his arm and saw that strange Mystic Rune that seemed to be used to perform some kind of evil forbidden ritual, and handed the old kerosene lamp to this hand.

Then he raised his other hand, and in the palm of his hand, the Mystic Rune of Night Watchman "02" emerged.

His Void Mystic Rune, intertwined with sky-blue aura, formed a pig-slaughtering knife under the control of his own will.

He took a few deep breaths, as if trying to overcome some kind of contradictory complex emotions. After some psychological counseling, he gritted his teeth and slashed down on his arm!

With a "clang—" sound, the pig-slaughtering knife directly cut through the flesh and landed on the golden bones, making a metallic sound.

It didn't hurt, because no matter how painful it was, it couldn't be more painful than the pain of flesh annihilation. What Lin Yi couldn't get over was the hurdle of cutting himself.

Immediately afterwards, he turned the blade and directly used a bone-scraping knife technique to cut off all the flesh on his arm that was branded with Mystic Runes!

He looked at the bones of his arm, feeling a bit like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2 revealing the titanium alloy skeleton after peeling off the skin in front of the doctor. It's just that looking at his own bones was a bit nauseating…

However, that kind of pain did gradually disappear as expected.

The little girl silently retreated into the darkness, and the black nursery rhyme slowly faded, leaving only the notes of the music box still dancing in the corridor.

"It really works!"

He was overjoyed and ran wildly, and while running, the flesh on his arm regenerated, but along with the regeneration of the flesh, the Mystic Rune reappeared!

"This…? !"

The joy in Lin Yi's heart was instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water.

He gritted his teeth and once again removed the flesh from the bone, and then suppressed the appearance of the sky-blue aura through subjective will to prevent the regeneration of that part of the flesh.

"Let's escape back to the campus first. The boss of the convenience store definitely knows more about this than I do. I'll ask him for advice later…"

As he ran, he actually found the figure of the little girl not far away in the darkness…

She was standing in that blurry corner of light and shadow, holding "Amon's Music Box" in her hands. On the wall beside her hung a painting in a rich dark style. The painting showed a depressing blood-red and black intertwined sky, and beneath the sky was an endless wilderness.

A black sun hung in the black sky, and at the end of the wilderness was a castle, surrounded by tombstones.

The scene in that picture was like the location of the "Quartermaster," but the details seemed to be different, and at this moment the painting seemed to come alive, attracting Lin Yi to approach it.

The fog lingered on the ground, entwining his legs like silk threads, trying to pull his body into the painting.

He seemed to see his name written on a stone tablet, which was the burial place set up for him, and now it seemed that he was about to be buried.

He quickly withdrew his gaze, stared intently at the end of the gallery, and rushed forward with his head down.

He ran past the little girl's position, continuing to sprint without looking back.

Before long, the little girl and that painting reappeared in front of him…

He paused for a moment, but still chose to keep running.

He just kept running and running, but the art gallery seemed to have no end; no matter how much he ran, he couldn't reach the end, and he seemed to be trapped in some kind of loop.

He glanced down at the time.

3:22.

The flow of time showed no anomalies.

He checked his own condition. Having lost the suppression of 'Amon's Music Box,' the light of the old kerosene lamp gradually recovered. Within the radiant field, it wasn't particularly warm, but at least it wasn't so gloomy and cold.

The old kerosene lamp was still in his hand, indicating that he was still in reality, but he didn't know why the art gallery seemed to have some problems.

“Could it be that the art gallery dropped a layer?”

The feeling of this space being infinitely stretched was very similar to when the campus dropped a layer, but the art building's layer had already dropped before, so how could it drop again?

He ran and ran, ran and ran. He heard some "creak, creak" sounds under his feet. He felt his center of gravity shifting, swaying from side to side. He was certain there was nothing wrong with himself, so what kind of trouble was this art gallery causing now?

The notes of the music box became much clearer, accompanied by some whistle sounds and siren-like singing. Lin Yi immediately felt that he must have left reality and was experiencing a hallucination…

He seemed to appear in a ship's cabin passageway, surrounded by portraits of past captains, but each one was blurred and he couldn't see their faces clearly. The rushing wind howled and echoed in the cabin passageway, occasionally slapping him in the face.

The wind carried the sound of waves hitting the ship's hull, the sound of spray breaking and landing on the deck, and some cheerful laughter.

“Music box… cabin…”

“Did the notes of the music box influence my perception of reality? This hallucination… could it be one of the 'Original Apostles'’ voyages?”

Old Mo said that 'Amon's Music Box' had gone to sea with ships many times, recording countless sounds. Could it be that he was influenced by that sound while running?

But when did that influence occur?

Suddenly, a chilling sea breeze stirred the thin mist, blowing onto Lin Yi's face like a beauty exhaling smoke. The whispers in the wind suddenly became much clearer. He heard some kind of calling…

【Lin Yi…】

【He's coming…】

【He's back…】

【It's him… it really is him…】

【It's you… it's you…】

The paintings hanging on both sides of the cabin passageway emitted mournful and painful howls, but their voices were trapped in the world of the paintings, and very little of it was transmitted out…

“Whirr—whirr—”

Another sound rang out, like the sound of iron chains being dragged on the ground, accompanied by heavy footsteps.

“Thud! Thud! Thud…”

Slow steps, heavy treads, as if carrying something incredibly heavy.

The cabin swayed, and he lost his balance and stumbled a few steps. In the blink of an eye, he discovered a blurry figure slowly appearing in the darkness shrouded by mist ahead.

It was as if it was the most dangerous prisoner in the entire prison. As soon as it appeared, all the noise disappeared.

【Lin Yi… Lin Yi…】

The figure slowly approached Lin Yi, and the darkness, like viscous ink, surged in with the mist, slowly filling the entire cabin passageway.

An boundless sense of oppression spread out, like the breath of a ghost rising from the abyss of hell, cold, damp, with a taste of death.

The black figure flickered in and out of sight in the mist, like a phantom in a nightmare. Each step seemed to carry an invisible force, making the surrounding air even more heavy.

The mist swirled around it, floating silently like its gauze clothing, gathering and dispersing, drifting like a huge cloak woven from darkness and mist.

Lin Yi couldn't see the figure in the mist clearly from beginning to end, but he could feel a familiar feeling… He had seen it several times before!

Cabin…

Chains…

Figure…

Lin Yi shuddered. Wasn't that figure in front of him the one he had seen several times during his hallucinations before?

Its main body was actually hidden in a layer of the art gallery?

“Thud! Thud! Thud…”

As the black figure approached, the suffocating pressure increased with each step. Lin Yi felt his heart starting to race. When it stopped in front of him, it would be the moment his heart stopped beating!

At this moment, he was like being trapped in a death-solving game. The time left for him to solve the puzzle and save himself was only the length of a cabin passageway.

There’s a problem! A big problem!

“This is a hallucination and not a hallucination. The art gallery seems to have dropped a layer but hasn’t dropped a layer…”

“Not all variables can be problematic. There must be some unknown change in one of them!”

“Must find it! Must find out the problem before it reaches me!”

Each time the black figure got closer to Lin Yi, the suffocating pressure increased. Lin Yi felt his heart thumping faster and faster. When it stood still in front of him, it would also be the moment when his heart stopped beating!

At this moment, he was like being trapped in a death-solving game, and the time left for him to solve the puzzle and save himself was only the length of one ship cabin.
