Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Lin Yi felt a jolt of surprise. Just as he was about to say they couldn't do that, Tian Bufan had already spoken: "However, we know very little about the teaching building. Under circumstances where we have no chance of winning, we should never easily touch the red line of the rules."

"What we should do is to explore the campus based on different sets of rules, while maintaining a high degree of vigilance regarding the explicitly forbidden things."

Tian Bufan warned with a serious expression, like a cautious general deploying defenses.

Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, *This* is the real Tian Bufan.

Lin Yi then mentioned that he had seen a figure resembling a security guard leading a team resembling security guards entering Building D from Building C. However, because there was too little to discuss in depth, they quickly ended the discussion on that point.

Four: [After the teaching building's layer collapses, it causes the area above the fifth floor and Building D to unfold. The homeroom teacher will not leave the teaching building to go to the cafeteria, but the security guards will bring cooks to deliver food to the homeroom teacher.] — √

"Speaking of which… the homeroom teacher even used the excuse of a 'drill' to cover up the abnormality of the campus," Lin Yi mentioned. "But I feel that the students clearly don't believe it."

After all, after what happened last night, several experiential students had genuinely disappeared into thin air.

Tian Bufan shook his head and said, "Normally speaking, of course they wouldn't believe it."

"However, people will lose some or all of their reason under extreme fear. At this time, they will believe whatever you say."

"Because what they lack is not an answer to the unknown, but a reason that can give them a sense of security."

"It is precisely because the homeroom teacher knows this that he takes advantage of the situation and uses such wording to give those who experienced the bizarre night a sense of peace of mind, which they do indeed need."

Lin Yi looked down at the blanket, deep in thought… From the perspective of human weaknesses, it was indeed so.

But when he thought that he was still stuck on considering whether the 'drill' explanation had some kind of extended metaphor or implication, while Tian Bufan had already seen through this point and was thinking about the flaws of human nature at a higher level, Lin Yi once again felt what a difference in IQ levels meant.

Lin Yi took a few deep breaths and was about to continue speaking when suddenly his scalp tightened.

He seemed to have sensed something, and his gaze subconsciously drifted towards the crack in the dormitory door.

The space between the door crack and the floor was pitch black.

He immediately glanced at the clock on the wall.

22:20.

[The dormitory hallway… is completely dark.]

Lin Yi looked at the crack in the door, feeling as if the darkness within was curled up like ink, exuding a chilling aura that made his heart palpitate, like a tentacle from hell, as if it would infiltrate the room at any moment…

It was hard to imagine what a suffocating scene it must be in the hallway right now.

Tian Bufan also realized this, so he returned the pen to Lin Yi, threw the waste paper into the trash can, and then climbed onto his bunk along the handrail and lay down.

"It's getting late. Let's talk about the rest in bed."

"Old Lin, continue."

Lin Yi put the notebook and pen back under his pillow, then lay down as well, looking at the ceiling while continuing his previous train of thought, suddenly saying, "Did we just miss… the basement of the teaching building?"

"It's not that we missed it, but if you insist on saying we missed it, then it's not unreasonable," Tian Bufan said. "In my opinion, the first basement level of the teaching building doesn't exist in itself."

Lin Yi was greatly puzzled: "The first basement level doesn't exist in itself? What do you mean by that?!"

He was really a little confused at this moment.

Tian Bufan then guided him: "Try substituting the concepts of layers and space that we mentioned earlier into this question, and think about it again."

Lin Yi was slightly stunned. Although his reaction was a bit slow, he immediately understood the meaning of Tian Bufan's words.

"Young Master Tian, do you mean that the first basement level is just a certain area after the teaching building's layer unfolds? No… it doesn't seem like I should say that, tsk…"

Lin Yi's face showed a tangled expression. With his expressive ability, trying to explain the problem of the first basement level all at once still felt like looking at flowers in the fog, able to see them but unable to describe them clearly.

Tian Bufan then said, "The first basement level is actually just a concept on a layer."

"Any place can be the first basement level."

"Its definition is… the place reached after entering the stairwell leading to the first basement level of the teaching building and opening the door."

"When we enter the stairwell, no matter how long we go downstairs, the place we reach after seeing the first door and pushing it open is the 'first basement level'."

"The first basement level does not exist."

"Or rather… every floor, as long as it can be defined with the stairwell as a reference, can become the 'first basement level'."

"It is a part of the area unfolded after the teaching building's layer collapses. Its meaning should be as a 'transfer station'."

"By connecting with the 'teacher's office', it sends people who arrive at the teaching building in a layer-collapsed state under abnormal weather back to the normal layer of the teaching building."

"It's a bit convoluted, try to understand it."

Lin Yi pondered it for a while, and then nodded: "Okay… then what?"

"Then," Tian Bufan said, "is the key to the problem."

"The problem of the first basement level of the teaching building is not only that it is a 'conceptual' thing, but also that it is related to the things associated with it—the teacher's office and the stairwell leading to the first basement level."

Lin Yi immediately followed Tian Bufan's train of thought and thought about the problem of the teacher's office.

And Tian Bufan also spoke at the same time:

"The people who go in cannot see the people who went in before them."

"The people who leave will appear next to the class that matches them."

"But in terms of entering and exiting, what do you notice?"

A light of thought immediately flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. Tian Bufan had mentioned the problem of the teacher's office once in physical education class, but at that time it was just a guess, but now it seemed like he had found the answer.

And the problem of entering and exiting the office, after being summarized by Tian Bufan, gave Lin Yi a special feeling.

This was a very familiar pattern, so familiar that he felt like he had just experienced it not long ago.

This was a vague feeling, like a tree hidden behind a fog. He cleared the fog through thinking, and then a flash of light appeared in front of him!

"It's the elevator!"

"The elevator in the dormitory building!"

That's right! The entry and exit pattern of the teacher's office, to some extent, had some similarities with the dormitory elevator!

Enter from point A, and then transfer to point B to leave!

Moreover, the person who enters later cannot see the person who entered before!

That is to say—

"The teacher's office is indeed an independent and active space!"

Tian Bufan nodded and said, "That's right, that's what I deduced."

"Think about it, what do you need to do when leaving the teacher's office? You need to firmly believe that 'after opening the door, it is our own classroom'. Isn't this like a process of anchoring?"

"The teacher's office fluctuates in the layer. Only by opening that door with firm belief can we return to the correct layer."

"It's like... when we encounter abnormal weather, we need to find a way to anchor ourselves in the normal layer."

"It's just that when we're outdoors, we're only ourselves, but when the homeroom teacher is in the classroom office, it's a state of 'person and room as one'."

Even though Lin Yi had already deduced a vague outline, the shock in his heart was indescribable when Tian Bufan said it.

He had been in the teachers' office, he had ridden the elevator in the dormitory building, and he had even entered the office one more time than Tian Bufan. Yet, with equal information, Tian Bufan had deduced so much more information than him!

And if Tian Bufan hadn't guided his thinking, with his brain, he might have been trapped in the classroom office, experiencing a near-death experience before figuring it out.

Tian Bufan didn't speak, glanced at the pendulum clock on the wall, and then waited for Lin Yi to digest the information.

Seeing a look of understanding gradually appearing in Lin Yi's eyes, Tian Bufan continued, "Another problem is the stairwell of the teaching building."

The newest novels are first published on 6_9_book_bar!

"A separate, enclosed spiral passage... it's just too perfect to be used for something."

"However, I only had one experience entering the stairwell, and I haven't been able to find the location of the stairwell since then, so I can't get more information."

"But I guess the principle of the stairwell may be the same as those areas that are twisted and compressed in the gaps of the paper ball. When the layer of the teaching building starts to fall, the stairwell appears. The length or distance of the stairwell is related to the degree of stretching."

"If we're lucky, we might be able to reach the 'transfer point' immediately. If we're unlucky, we'll have to walk a long way."

"And Maozi... obviously lost his cognition on the way down, fell into a certain link, and lost the opportunity to anchor himself."

"He can only follow the last rule on the teaching building's notice board, and that rule... is still a mystery without any clues."

"The only thing that can be certain is that Maozi will lose his identity and become an art student."

"No, Maozi didn't even get a student ID, so his layer had problems from the beginning."

Lin Yi was silent, and when he mentioned Mao Feiyang again, his heart couldn't help but feel blocked.

The last rule on the notice board in front of the teaching building is:

[If the situation you encounter does not match any of the above, and you feel that you are lost and have some uncomfortable symptoms, please do not go downstairs. 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 an art teacher and begin an artistic journey.]

Whenever he thought of Mao Feiyang, who had been missing without any news, Lin Yi had an unspeakable sense of emptiness, as if a part of something complete was lost.

Tian Bufan's voice came at this time: "We can also put Maozi's affairs aside for the time being."

"Let's treat the above as one question. Now that we've discussed it, let's move on to the next one."

"Okay." Lin Yi nodded.

Five: [The negative first floor of the teaching building is the conceptual layer, the teachers' office is an independent space, and the stairwell of the teaching building may be a compressed and folded space.] — √

Lin Yi originally wanted to talk about the homeroom teacher's affairs separately, but thinking that since he had mentioned the teaching building, it would be better to talk about the other three buildings together: "Next, let's talk about the problem of the cafeteria..."

"First, let me state my conclusion. Using your 'game theory', the cafeteria is a building with the function of 'purification and health recovery'."

"However, since art students also go to the cafeteria to eat, and with the existence of the green bib chefs, the cafeteria is essentially a very dangerous place."

Tian Bufan affirmed: "The most important function of the cafeteria for us is just like what you said—while providing us with food, it uses the food to purify some of the pollution we have suffered."

Lin Yi was slightly stunned: "The concept of 'pollution'... I only learned about it from the homeroom teacher. Young Master Tian, how did you know?"

"The sports student told me."

Lin Yi couldn't judge whether Tian Bufan attributed all "knowledge" to the sports student, so he said, "You continue."

Tian Bufan then said: "Due to the problem of information acquisition, there are only a few things that can be discussed about the cafeteria: First, the problem of the passages; second, the problem of the employees; third, the problem of the purchase windows; fourth, the problem of the food; fifth, the problem of the area..."

Lin Yi: "..."

"Is this still considered 'not much'?" Lin Yi was ashamed.

"Let's start with the passages in order."

"The three passages of the cafeteria correspond to students, employees, and others, respectively. However, the employee passage belongs to the chefs of the cafeteria. In addition, sports students and art students do not belong to 'students', but belong to 'others'."

"This is a thought-provoking question."

"The student passage actually divides the attributes of various 'units' in the campus invisibly."

"This is a brand new way of dividing..."

"If we use 'normal' and 'abnormal' to divide the units entering the cafeteria, then sports students and some art students should be able to enter the student passage, but they are all classified into the 'others' category."

"So this division is not accurate."

"But if we stick to the definition, then the student passage must belong to those who hold a 'student ID' to enter, and the employee passage should correspond to those who have a 'chef' badge and belong to the employee category, and the rest Those who do not have any identity credentials can only be classified into the 'others' category."

"Through the analysis of the notice board in front of the teaching building, it can be known that people like Maozi are likely to become art students, so they are 'others'."

"And according to the notice board in front of the gymnasium, it is known that sports students do not have student IDs."

"Therefore, if we judge this way, the division of passages can be understood."

"But obviously, there are some other 'units' that will enter the cafeteria through other passages, such as those non-human students."

Lin Yi felt a chill down his spine. He instantly thought of the group of strange students who appeared in the cafeteria—that is, the non-human students Tian Bufan is talking about now.

Those non-human students have an almost obsessive pursuit of things containing tomato elements, and according to the fact that tomato elements are the flesh and blood of the human body, those things... are a group of bloodthirsty ghosts!

Tian Bufan added: "There is another argument."

"The cafeteria rules state: [If you find someone entering a passage other than the 'student passage', and there is a security guard nearby, you can inform the security guard as soon as possible, or you can choose to ignore it.]"

"This rule that seems to say everything, why do you think it was written?"
