Rules-related weird stories: 4016

The notes on the small notebook, except for item 14, basically didn't need to be modified or supplemented.

And item 14 was: [Ketchup turns into plaster in the sun (the principle is temporarily unknown).]

He thought for a moment, crossed out [the principle is temporarily unknown], and then began to add:

“Tomatoes are hearts.”

As he wrote this, he felt a strange sense of dizziness in his brain, as if a shackle in his cognition had been opened.

Almost as if possessed, he continued to write:

“Ketchup is blood plasma.”

When he wrote these two sentences, he felt uncomfortable all over, and a sense of subversion eroded him like darkness.

He felt the darkness enveloping him, and the world abandoning him.

He felt himself sinking. He was sitting in a chair, but both he and the chair began to sink into an endless abyss.

He felt a little difficulty breathing. He felt an indescribable, ineffable aura of terror descending from the void, like a pair of invisible hands gripping his throat.

He felt extremely uncomfortable and irritable, so he gripped the pen tightly and began to scribble over the sentences.

It was as if a drowning man was constantly struggling.

When he completely scribbled out "Tomatoes are hearts" and "Ketchup is blood plasma", he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

“Huff, huff…”

He leaned back in his chair, panting violently, like a lucky man who had struggled out of a swamp after untold hardships, desperately embracing the beauty of the world.

He looked at the two sentences on the note, covered with messy lines, his eyes narrowed involuntarily. His face was serious, and his eyes were filled with strange light.

「What kind of twisted information is this that even words cannot record?」

He felt that writing those two sentences seemed to drain his life force.

But he knew that "Tomatoes are hearts" and "Ketchup is blood plasma", and even that "Ketchup turns into plaster in the sun".

But knowing it, he couldn't record it.

It seemed that even recording this information had become a taboo.

So he stared at the 14th record for a long time, and then wrote: "Tomato elements will attract the attention of strange classmates."

After a pause, he tried to write:

“Tomatoes are not tomatoes, there are no tomatoes at all.”

After writing this sentence, he took a deep breath and didn't feel any discomfort, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then continued to write:

“15. Green hats will attack people who try to leave the student cafeteria.”

He hesitated for a moment, pondering: 「But… Liangzi doesn’t seem to have been attacked…」

So he thought and thought, crossed out "people", and changed it to "me and the sports student".

“15. Green hats will attack me and the sports student who try to leave the student cafeteria.”

Then he continued to write:

“16. Each building seems to exist in an independent space, the dividing line being a sign or a street lamp.”

“Note: Identifying the area by the street lamp number should be the most accurate method.”

“The student cafeteria in the dining hall seems to be a separate space, bounded by a plastic air curtain.”

Writing this, Lin Yi muttered in his heart: 「As of now, I haven’t seen the commissary.」

Then he continued to write:

“17. Be careful of moss. All the moss in the campus is problematic. Don’t stare at them and generate associations.”

“18. It takes 5-10 minutes to walk from the sign at the gymnasium to the gymnasium. There is only one unique path. If you deviate, you will embark on a non-existent path.”

He paused, hesitated slightly, and then added:

“That non-existent path seems to lead to the seaside.”

“19. Green hats will appear in the gymnasium. (Reason unknown)”

“20. Boss…”

「Huh? What am I writing about the boss for?」 Lin Yi himself was also stunned.

Why did he think of the boss as soon as he mentioned the gymnasium?

He thought of the boss's legs, no, swimsuit, no, bath towel… ah, right!

The way the boss wore a bath towel and took away a green hat with a Leo kick gave him the feeling that it was damn cool.

「But what points about the boss… need to be written on the note specifically?」

Could it be written that the boss's feet are very powerful?

That won't do.

Definitely not.

This is a serious notebook dedicated to taking notes.

So he crossed out “20. Boss…” and, after thinking carefully, rewrote it:

“20. There is Building D in the teaching building, Building D doesn’t seem to be in this space.”

After writing this, he flipped through the notebook again, and then suddenly realized something.

He didn't know when, but he… actually defaulted to the abnormality of the campus?!

There are spatial problems on the campus, there is an "Inner World" that does not belong to the "surface world", and there is also a "non-existent world" that does not know whether it belongs to the "Inner World"…

These things are completely illogical, no, not just illogical, they are simply inexplicable and incomprehensible.

But he… when did he start accepting this fact?

When did he start… "adapting" to this incomprehensible thing?

Perhaps it was…

「From when I stopped trying to understand the rules?」

He was silent.

He was silent for a long time.

Then, he turned to the 4th note that he had crossed out (the 4th note that was crossed out was: "4. The teaching building has a basement…?"), and then he turned back to the 20th item and added:

“The teaching building has a basement, but it is currently unknown under what circumstances the stairwell leading to the basement can appear.”

After writing this, he suddenly thought of something and took out the student handbook from his pocket, which he had memorized very well before, but the more he looked at it, the stranger it felt. He flipped through it back and forth, and then rested his chin on his hands, lost in thought.

Wei Liang, who was next to him, was sticking his face on a classic nosebleed action comic, pulling at the pages with both hands, squinting his eyes, trying to see through the inner workings of certain characters from the cracks in the book.

After failing to pry anything out, Wei Liang shook his head and sighed regretfully. Then he noticed that Lin Yi was actually in a daze, and couldn't help but wonder: "Lao Lin, why are you holding the student handbook and spacing out?"

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and pondered: "I'm thinking about something."

"Egg says: It doesn't matter," Wei Liang said.

Lin Yi said: "It's about the cafeteria aunt who made a mistake with the food."

"Damn!" Wei Liang exclaimed, startling many people around him to cast strange glances, "This is not the time to talk about strange things!"

Lin Yi shook his head and said: "Oh no, it's not that kind of weird aspect!"

“I originally thought it was a rule in the 《Student Handbook》, but after looking for it, I found that I remembered it wrong. It should be something recorded in the 《Cafeteria Rules》…”

He closed the student handbook and put it away.

Wei Liang's spirits perked up: "Are you saying?"

"Cafeteria Rules, Article 8, do you still remember it?" Lin Yi said.

Wei Liang was slightly stunned.

Wei Liang was slightly stunned again.

Wei Liang was stunned again and again.

Then, a look of realization dawned on his face: "Oh, oh, oh! You mean... that! That, that!"

"If you don't remember, just say you don't remember..." Lin Yi interrupted.

Wei Liang's lips twitched slightly: "..."

"You understand me after all... Fine, alright, I just don't remember! You know, I only skimmed the cafeteria rules."

He shrugged his shoulders.

Lin Yi curled his lip: "You think I believe that?"

Wei Liang lowered his shoulders.

Lin Yi said: "Cafeteria Rule Number 8 states..."

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

[When purchasing meals, if you find that the employee wearing a blue apron adds food containing tomato elements to your meal, please do not remind him that he has made a mistake (the word "do not" is emphasized).

However, after you receive the meal tray, please go directly to the utensil collection point and pour all the food into the recycling bin, then go to another meal purchase window to buy your meal again.

During this process, please remember his employee number and inform your homeroom teacher after returning to the teaching building.]

"According to the cafeteria rules, I need to tell the homeroom teacher the badge numbers of those two cafeteria aunties after returning to the teaching building..."

"Then go tell them." Wei Liang spread his hands, glancing at the pendulum clock, "It's only 7:00 PM now, you have time to go, after all, it's your beloved black silk OL long-legged teacher, I won't compete with you for this delightful task."

"After all, you know, what I like are cute white silk lolis... oh, young girls are also acceptable. Alas, if it really doesn't work out, I can accept white silk mature women too..."

Lin Yi's expression turned stern.

Wei Liang suddenly realized something and quickly said: "Oh, right, right, right, I misspoke, I misspoke... You kid is even being taken care of by the boss now, tsk tsk! Tsk tsk! You really make me... tsk tsk!"

"Alright, shut up, Mr. Tsk Tsk." Lin Yi said speechlessly, "I'll prepare a bit before going."

"Prepare what? As the saying goes, 'In youth, one still borrows a silver spear to show off one's romantic spirit,' when will you go if not now?" Wei Liang chuckled, pulling him up from the chair and pushing him down the lecture hall.

"Go, go, go!" Wei Liang said with a grin, looking like he was sending a good brother to... sending a good brother to the bridal chamber.

Helplessly, Lin Yi arrived at the classroom door and reached out to grab the doorknob.

"Hey!" Wei Liang's voice came from the lecture hall, as loud as Tarzan calling "Ooh ~ Ooh Ooh ~ Ooh Ooh ~ ~".

Lin Yi turned back helplessly, only to see Wei Liang grabbing his booklet and waving it: "Borrowing a piece of paper from you, ha!"

"Use it, use it, use it!" Lin Yi said unhappily, pushing open the classroom door.

「 Creak — 」

The door slowly opened, and the not-so-dense fog eagerly poured in from the corridor, but as soon as it entered, it was immediately shattered by the temperature in the classroom.

He glanced at the pendulum clock on the wall, then opened the door and walked out.

「 Bang! 」

The classroom door closed, as if completely isolating it from the outside world.

Watching Lin Yi walk out of the classroom, Wei Liang opened Lin Yi's notepad to the last page, then removed the playful look from his face. He picked up the pen, and after seemingly enduring countless mental torments, he finally put pen to paper and wrote a short sentence.

After writing it, he tore off the piece of paper, then carefully folded it and placed it with his student ID.

After doing all this, he put the booklet back on Lin Yi's desk, then continued to browse his H manga.

From beginning to end, he didn't glance at the notes Lin Yi had written.

...

May 7, X023, 7:02 PM.

The first thing Lin Yi did upon leaving the classroom was to look down at his watch.

The time on the watch and the time on the pendulum clock in the classroom were both 7:02 PM.

「 7:02 PM... Everything is normal so far. 」 He thought to himself.

Wei Liang wasn't by his side at the moment, so he had to be careful.

A gust of evening wind blew, and the cold air stung his skin like ice needles, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

He glanced outside the teaching building. The randomly arranged streetlights were all lit up at this moment, and the orange-yellow light curtain opened up one domain after another in the darkness, giving people a comforting feeling.

But outside the light curtain, the green belt twisted and swayed along with the fog. In that place where light and shadow mingled, there seemed to be dark figures, wandering like lonely ghosts.

He quickly retracted his gaze and arrived in front of the homeroom teacher's office.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, he cautiously looked up at the office door... Damn, the office doorplate was gone!

「 You son of a... 」 Lin Yi's pupils shrank slightly, and a chill immediately ran down his spine.

An office door without a doorplate, like a homeroom teacher without a badge, was untrustworthy.

But he wasn't very sure... After leaving his sight, whether the hanging door of Class 2, Group B, was still behind him.

「 My name is Lin Yi, my student ID is X0230506098... My class is Class 2, Group B, my class is Class 2, Group B... 」

「 My name is Lin Yi, my student ID is X0230506098... My class is Class 2, Group B, my class is Class 2, Group B... 」

「 My name is Lin Yi... 」

He slowly took a step back... Following his memory, he slowly put his hand on the position of the doorknob in his memory, then gently probed the air.

He held his breath, and his whole body became apprehensive.

The fog filled his instep, submerging the steps like a tide. A strange and cold feeling began to invade him, and goosebumps rose all over his arms.

In the fog, there seemed to be some kind of peculiar call and song, as if... faintly, there was also the sound of "splashing" sea tides, coming intermittently...

Finally, Lin Yi grabbed the doorknob.

The sound of the tide all disappeared, and the eerie feeling that entangled like tentacles was also swept away.

But he didn't rush to press the doorknob, but first looked up at the classroom doorplate.

「 Class 2, Group B. 」

「 Haha... Don't even think about plotting against me! 」 He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the door and walked into the classroom.

The moment he entered the door, a warm feeling enveloped him.

He walked into the classroom, closed the door, then re-gripped the doorknob, and silently recited in his heart:

「 Next to Class 2, Group B, is the homeroom teacher's office... 」

「 Next to Class 2, Group B, is the homeroom teacher's office... 」

「 Is the homeroom teacher's office... 」

He opened the door, then cautiously stepped out half a foot, and then poked out half of his body, like a turtle sticking out its... head, and looked at the doorplate of the office next door.

「 Teacher's Office (small words on the side: Class 2, Group B) 」
