Rules-related weird stories: 4016

May 6th, 2023, Class 2 of Group B, circular lecture hall.

Wei Liang's words sent a chill directly down Lin Yi's spine.

Just as he was warily scrutinizing Wei Liang, he saw the fellow sidle up and whisper in his ear, "Old Lin, my student ID is X0230506097, are you 098?"

"Huh?" Lin Yi's lips twitched. He thought to himself, 'Don't scare me to death, you almost made me think you were losing it.'

"Yeah," he nodded, asking, "Is there some significance to that?"

Wei Liang tugged at his hat brim, lowering his voice, "Of course there's significance! Don't forget we're in this together!"

"Now, you know my student ID, and I know yours. That way, we can remind each other at crucial moments!"

"Oh? What do you mean?" Lin Yi asked.

Wei Liang said, "You have no idea how bizarre this school is..."

He pointed to his head, "Old Lin, I'm telling you, if you stay in this campus for too long... your brain will start to malfunction!"

"Like memory deteriorating, thoughts getting jumbled, that kind of thing."

Wei Liang talked about his experience from the last time he was here. The university life experience lasted a total of seven days, but starting from the sixth day, he felt like he was getting confused, his mind wasn't clear, and he couldn't remember things very well.

The most direct feeling was like staying up all night rewarding yourself too many times, and then continuing the next day.

If he hadn't used sticky notes to write down some key information, he really would have gotten lost on campus.

"I feel like this might be related to the geographical environment here. There's abnormal weather every day, and the rain and fog probably carry some miasma from the mountains. Staying here for too long isn't good for you."

Lin Yi thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded.

He also felt like his thinking seemed to be having some problems, like two concentric but differently shaped cams rotating together, thoughts and perceptions, as if a slight gap had appeared...

So he asked, puzzled, "Then what does this have to do with the student ID?"

Wei Liang shook his head, curling his lip, "I don't know either, but some deep mountains and old forests often have legends about ghost walls and the like, maybe the student ID is some kind of protective charm?"

Wei Liang started talking about some bizarre rumors again, Lin Yi rubbed his forehead, suddenly wishing that Tian Bufan was sitting next to him.

If it were Tian Bufan, he would have already started organizing the clues in an orderly manner, and then started deducing the rules of this "survival game" from the known rules.

As for Wei Liang...

This show-off was looking forward to what kind of blessed artifact the student ID he received would be.

「I wonder how Young Master Tian and the others are doing...」

「Wei Shan and Kuai Kuai's condition is really worrying.」

「And Maozi...」

Mao Feiyang had returned to the stairwell, he didn't know what the situation was like now.

He was the person Lin Yi was most worried about right now.

After all, that stairwell was too abnormal, and there were those stairs that were like the Fibonacci sequence.

Lin Yi recalled everything they had experienced from entering the campus to now, and suddenly realized that they had spent a full two hours just walking from the school gate to the teaching building!

This kind of distance would be extremely shocking in any campus.

Moreover, Lin Yi suddenly realized that from entering the school gate until now, all they had seen were streetlights and the teaching building.

Such a long distance, and there was only one teaching building?

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.

The campus under the mist seemed like an endless ocean, the streetlights were lighthouses floating in the ocean, and the teaching building was the only haven.

Although it was a haven, this teaching building couldn't be considered absolutely safe. At best, it could only be regarded as adding a layer of security to the scope of abnormality, preventing the thick fog from entering the teaching building, and also preventing those unknown things in the fog from entering.

「That's right, the teaching building also has the teaching building rules!」 Lin Yi's eyes lit up, he quickly took out the booklet that the head teacher had given him, and then slowly flipped through it.

"【Teaching Building Rules】"

"This campus is still in the experimental stage, so there is no grade division. Please identify your class and follow the guidance of these rules to reach the corresponding classroom."

"1. There are a total of three teaching buildings in the teaching area, namely Building A, Building B, and Building C. Each building has four floors, and each floor has three classes, from low to high, namely Class 1 of Group A, Class 2 of Group A... Class 12 of Group A."

"There are horizontal bridges connecting each floor between buildings, which can be reached on foot."

"2. The teaching building has only four floors, no basement, no elevator, and no Building D. If you accidentally 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 sports student or sports teacher. If necessary, you can seek the help of the security guard."

"Be wary of anyone who exhibits the above behavior, they are no longer the people you know."

"3. The teaching building is open at all times during the experience period, and all the lights will be turned on from 18:00 every day to 7:00 the next day. It is forbidden to enter areas where the lights are not on during this time (including going to the toilet)."

"4. There will be no one in the teaching building except students, teachers, and patrolling security guards. If you encounter people who do not belong to the above categories, please return to your classroom as soon as possible. Do not pay attention to anything along the way, even if the teacher is calling you."

"5. Evening self-study time is after 18:00, but this school does not force students to participate in evening self-study, unless the current time has exceeded 21:00."

"After 21:00, it is forbidden to leave the classroom. Please study until 7:40 the next day. You can browse any books, but remember not! To! Sleep! In! The! Classroom! (The last sentence is bolded, underlined, and marked with a large number of conspicuous exclamation marks)."

"During this period, if you see any abnormalities outside the window or someone calling you outside the door, please ignore it."

"6. Theoretically, the power supply in the classroom will not stop, so the lights will not go out. If the lights flicker, please squat down before the lights go out, grab the legs of the desk, and repeatedly remind yourself of two things in your mind: 1. Your name and student ID number; 2. You are doing self-study in the classroom of the teaching building and not sleeping in the dormitory."

"7. If you violate any of the above rules, please find a way to seek help from the head teacher as soon as possible, and inform them of the details, then unconditionally trust and abide by the requirements of the head teacher."

"As long as you abide by the teaching building rules, the teaching building will become the most trustworthy shelter for you during your time at the school. We wish you a pleasant learning experience and safe travels."

There weren't many rules, but Lin Yi's back had already started to break out in a cold sweat before he had even finished reading them the first time.

He stared incomparably seriously at the second rule: The teaching building has only four floors, no basement, no elevator, and no Building D. If you accidentally discover areas other than the four floors of the teaching building, you are prohibited from going there.

He also recalled the scene when he first saw this teaching building...

The huge teaching building towered into the dark and oppressive sky like a mountain, the layers in the building were blurred but brightly lit, like a torch standing in the night.

There were seven floors visible to the naked eye!

Then, they followed the signs and entered the basement!

But the teaching building doesn't have a basement at all, so where did they enter?

Mao Feiyang is still in the stairwell!

He tried hard to recall the scene when he entered the stairwell and came out again…

Entered on the first floor…

Rushed downstairs for more than twenty minutes…

Then pushed the door open and came out…

Then, the scene outside the door was still the first floor!

"Could it be that they just went in and came out again?"

"Then how did the door of the stairwell become the entrance to the classroom?"

"Could it be that the problem lies in the stairs?"

He fell into doubt.

Just as he was constantly recalling and thinking, entangled in the past, a feeling of fatigue slowly rose from his body, and then frantically eroded his will.

He felt the circular classroom become distorted…

He felt the teaching building become unreal…

"Lao Lin! Lao Lin!"

Wei Liang put his hand on Lin Yi's shoulder and shook him vigorously.

"Don't fall asleep, sleeping is not allowed in the study room!"

Lin Yi was shaken awake, and the feeling of weakness and fatigue was also shaken away.

"What… what happened to me just now?"

He felt that something was guiding him to think in a certain way. This guidance was so smooth that even he himself was unaware of it. By the time he reacted, he could only feel a sense of weakness from the bottom of his heart. Just as he became alert, Wei Liang had already shaken him awake.

He looked at Wei Liang and asked doubtfully, "Did I look like I was asleep just now?"

The latest novels are available at 69shuba.com!

"You were only a pillow away from falling completely asleep."

"…" Lin Yi's mouth twitched slightly, "Ah, this…?"

He felt that he should have been lost in thought. At most, he was just a little dizzy, but in Wei Liang's eyes, he was about to fall asleep?

Just then, Lin Yi suddenly noticed that the light was a little dim, and shadows from somewhere were blocking part of the light.

He looked up, and the next moment, he felt an icy chill rush up from the soles of his feet, piercing through his leg bones, sweeping past his spine, and rushing straight into the crown of his head, then out!

He saw that he and Wei Liang were surrounded by people at some point.

These classmates were densely packed around them like obelisks on the chairs, surrounding them tightly.

When he looked up, he met their downward gazes.

All the surrounding classmates were smiling with narrowed eyes, the curvature of the corners of their mouths was the same for everyone. Although they had different appearances and different body types, when they stood there, it was as if countless tombstones carved with human faces were staring at him.

In the dim light, Lin Yi could still clearly see the waxy white faces of these people, as if they were malnourished.

Seeing that Lin Yi had regained consciousness, they didn't say anything, just moved their somewhat stiff steps and slowly dispersed, returning to their respective seats one after another.

But some of the classmates, after sitting down again, still stared straight at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked down at his watch.

20:13.

It seemed that he had been thinking for a while since he finished reading the student rules, but…

"When did they come over?"

"Moreover, with so many people gathering around me, it's impossible that there wouldn't be any noise!"

Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang, trying to find the answer on his face.

Under the brim of Wei Liang's baseball cap, his eyes were also filled with fear.

"Liangzi, didn't you notice when they came over?" Lin Yi asked.

Wei Liang nodded stiffly, his breathing also faintly rapid. It was obvious that he didn't understand what had just happened at all.

Wei Liang lowered his voice and said, "Lao Lin, I only know… you can't sleep during study time, so I shook you awake when I saw you were a little sleepy."

"I didn't expect… it would be like this, it's too terrifying." He looked around, still in shock.

One of the classmates met his gaze and even gave him a standardized smile.

Wei Liang's hair stood on end, and he quickly retracted his head.

Lin Yi whispered, "Do you know them?"

Wei Liang said speechlessly, "Do I know your ass… do I know your leg! There are some abnormal people in every classroom, you must not provoke them."

"Why would I provoke them for no reason?" Lin Yi said, paused, and then said, "So… for the next seven days, we have to spend it with these people?"

Lin Yi's heart was very resistant to these classmates, especially when they surrounded him just now, it gave him a strong sense of suffocation.

"There's no way… they're all classmates." Wei Liang shrugged, then said, "I don't like them either. Although I know it's not appropriate to say this, I feel like they're not… human."

His hand was caressing his student ID in his pocket, and he couldn't help but mutter again, "Do you think this student ID might really be an enlightened treasure?"

Lin Yi supported his forehead: "Why don't you think about something normal? How did you spend your time when you came last time?"

Wei Liang said innocently: "The first time, I didn't have any experience, of course I strictly followed the rules…"

"Every day I was on a three-point line between the dormitory, the cafeteria, and the teaching building… and then it was over without me realizing it."

"But I might have been dizzy last time because I lived such a boring little life, plus the miasma in the mountains was heavy in the morning and evening, otherwise I wouldn't have been dizzy and confused in the last two days."

Lin Yi widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Three-point line? Didn't you tell me before you came that you explored the campus all over in seven days, and there's no place on campus that you don't know?"

Wei Liang opened his mouth, then smiled sheepishly: "Wasn't I just trying to show off a little…?"

Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Then… explore?"

Wei Liang silently took out the booklet of teaching building rules and folded out the last page…

Lin Yi widened his eyes.

No wonder the teaching building rules only have a few articles but still need to be made into a manual. I didn't expect that the back could be opened… turning into a map.

Wei Liang slowly folding out the map looked like he was presenting a map, and his focused look seemed to be searching for a dagger hidden in the seams of the map.

"This is the map of S City University. When I was bored in self-study class, I traveled around it many times…" Wei Liang said without blushing or panting.

"Cloud… travel?" Lin Yi blinked, and question marks slowly appeared on his head, eventually converging into three words.

"You motherfucker."

Finally, under Wei Liang's embarrassed smile, Lin Yi slowly raised a thumb: "Six."

But immediately, he suddenly noticed something, grabbed the map in Wei Liang's hand and put it in front of him, carefully observing it.

He widened his eyes, but his pupils shook violently.

Lin Yi's sudden seriousness startled Wei Liang. He leaned over to look at the map, only to hear Lin Yi muttering a sentence:

"What's going on? How could it be like this?!"
