Rules-related weird stories: 4016

“Let's leave the dorm first, we can talk as we walk,” Tian Bufan said, glancing at the time.

The dorm elevator is open from 6:00 to 7:40, and it's already 6:45, so it's best to leave the dorm for safety.

However, just as Lin Yi was about to pull open the dorm door, the moment his hand grasped the doorknob, he suddenly recoiled as if shocked by electricity.

Before Lin Yi could speak, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind him:

“Still more?!”

“Lao Lin, get behind me!”

As soon as the words fell, Wei Shan's massive figure, accompanied by a gust of wind, reached Lin Yi's side, then grabbed the doorknob and pulled it open violently.

「Ka… … Bang!!!」

The door opened, and white plaster powder flew everywhere.

It was as if someone had covered the door with flour; as soon as the door moved, the powder was thrown everywhere under the orange-yellow light of the incandescent lamp.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Wei Shan covered his mouth and nose, vigorously waving his palm to disperse all the plaster powder.

“Damn it… you sneaky bastard, you did a good job!” Wei Shan turned his head and glared at Kuai Hongji, wishing he could grab him by the neck and drag him over.

Kuai Hongji sneered, “What does it have to do with me?”

“Heh heh.” Wei Shan chuckled in a low voice.

“Alright, alright, don't be restless so early in the morning.” Lin Yi frowned slightly, patted Kuai Hongji's shoulder, reached out to push Wei Shan away, and then walked to the door.

For some reason, whenever Wei Shan and Kuai Hongji argued, he felt particularly irritable and would often subconsciously separate them.

Just now, when he reached for the doorknob, he sensed that unpleasant aura, as if he had touched some kind of corpse.

He didn't expect the door to be covered in plaster powder, even the doorknob was covered in plaster-like substance.

“Wait!” Lin Yi suddenly realized something, “Could these things be…”

“Wait, wait, wait! You wait!” Wei Liang interrupted in a panic, stuffing several napkins into his ears, and said, “Lao Lin, you fucking wait a moment!”

He even covered his ears with both hands at the end.

“Okay, you guys continue, you guys continue.”

“…” Lin Yi glanced at Wei Liang strangely, thinking to himself, you fucking know what I'm going to say, right?

Kuai Hongji disdainfully glanced at Wei Liang, and Wei Shan also sneered, only Tian Bufan didn't have any extra expression.

Lin Yi then glanced at Tian Bufan and stated his judgment: “Is this blood?”

Tian Bufan nodded: “The blood turned into ketchup, began to change under the light, and finally completely turned into plaster powder the moment the door was opened.”

Lin Yi's expression changed slightly: “So someone was attacked here last night? Could it be that those who didn't make it back to the dorm by 10 PM and didn't manage to find the dorm manager were killed?”

Tian Bufan said: “There are no clues to indicate this. Your statement can only be regarded as a guess. Perhaps there may be other situations?”

Lin Yi glanced at Kuai Hongji, and thinking of what Wei Shan had just said, although his expression didn't change, he couldn't help but feel some doubts in his heart…

“Kuai, Kuai, do you know something?”

Kuai Hongji coldly swept a glance at Wei Shan, shrugged his shoulders and was about to refuse, but seeing Lin Yi's interrogative gaze, he had no choice but to say:

“Last night, Fatty and I were awakened by someone shouting for help outside the door, knocking very loudly, but we ignored him.”

“Perhaps he was killed, or perhaps something else… who knows? You remember what's written in the rules, right? You can't open the door no matter who comes.”

Looking at Kuai Hongji's perfunctory answer, Lin Yi knew that this answer was definitely made up by Kuai Hongji. If something really happened, then things were definitely not like that, but since Kuai Hongji had said this, he couldn't ask any further.

Because even Wei Shan on the side had closed his mouth.

At 6:47, the door of dorm 1414 was pushed open, and the group walked out of the dorm in a mighty manner, arriving in the dorm building hallway.

Lin Yi looked at the door of the dorm after the white plaster-like powder had dissipated, and found that there were no more clues related to plaster, ketchup, or blood, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

After 6:00, the hallway of the dorm building had restored its lighting. The group quickly arrived at the elevator lobby between dorm 1401 and dorm 1439 along the curved corridor.

Lin Yi observed the walls of the dorm building hallway, and had also found some traces of white plaster-like powder on some walls, but it was impossible to find anything without careful inspection.

When passing by some dorms, some people also came out of the dorms, but seeing Lin Yi's group, they consciously lagged behind a bit, forming a group with their own dorm as the unit.

Lin Yi pressed the button in the elevator lobby. After waiting for a moment, accompanied by the roaring sound inside the elevator, like the roar of a train, an elevator quickly stopped inside.

「Clang… … Clang!」

The elevator door opened, and the group walked in.

Lin Yi's gaze swept across the elevator buttons, lingered for a moment on the “↑” under the sealed transparent cover, then quietly moved away, and finally pressed “1”.

Then, just as the elevator door began to close, when the two doors began to close together, the gap squeezed between the doors seemed to distort the space, and even the light and shadows in the hallway were distorted and squeezed.

In this instant, Lin Yi experienced some kind of strange hallucination.

He found that countless white powder particles were floating and drifting in the hallway like dust. They didn't seem to be the kind of substance that came from plaster-like material breaking apart, but… the kind of pollutant that could be absorbed that only existed in his 「perception」!

He subconsciously blinked his eyes quickly a few times, trying to see more clearly, but when he blinked, the originally strange hallucination suddenly became even stranger.

His eyes seemed to be able to see two pictures at the same time, one was a normal picture of the dorm building hallway with incandescent lights on, and the other was a picture of a broken glass window full of powder particles.

When he blinked, these two pictures jumped back and forth like flashes until the elevator door completely closed and disappeared.

As the elevator door closed, that feeling of being isolated from the world struck again, along with a strong sense of discomfort in the enclosed space.

“Hoo… … Hoo… …” Another heavy breathing sound rang in his ears. Wei Shan was grabbing the built-in handrail of the elevator, his palms constantly exerting force, and his breathing became increasingly rough.

Lin Yi asked with concern: “Wei Shan, how are you feeling?”

“I… … I'm fine! Hoo—Hoo—” Wei Shan's body rose and fell like a giant bear. His nose was constantly twitching, as if he had smelled some kind of smell. He lowered his voice and roared, “I can feel its breath…”

“We are very close to it…”

“It's here… … It's hidden here! This elevator! No—not the elevator, the elevator lobby!”

“Hoo hoo hoo… … Hoo hoo hoo…”

“I really want to tear it apart!”

Kua Hongji shrank into the corner of the elevator, his back pressed against the right angle of the elevator car. Hearing Wei Shan's low roar, he rarely spoke out to mock, but instead reached out and gently touched the elevator wall, closing his eyes to feel something.

He seemed to be feeling the vibration of the elevator, or perhaps he was searching for something...

Lin Yi suddenly felt an extremely pure, cold aura. He turned his head in surprise and found Kua Hongji, who was shrinking in the corner of the elevator, seemingly integrated with the elevator, emanating a kind of aura that seemed to come from the elevator... no, from the indescribable coldness outside the elevator...

Suddenly, Kua Hongji opened his eyes. In a trance, Lin Yi seemed to see a touch of extreme golden color in the depths of Kua Hongji's eyes, but when he frowned and looked at Kua Hongji again, he found that Kua Hongji's eyes were normal, as normal as could be.

A mystery arose in his heart, but Kua Hongji looked at Wei Shan and said, "Fatty, you're mistaken."

"Even if you're wrong, I won't be wrong!" Wei Shan roared. He suddenly looked at the "↑" button sealed with a glass cover, with a red "×" outside.

He narrowed his eyes, observed carefully for a while, and then shook his head: "Not this one... but it's still there! It's always been there!"

Wei Shan's reaction surprised Lin Yi. He quickly looked around vigilantly, but all he could hear was the whistling wind in the elevator and the rumbling vibration of the elevator car.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Wei Liang was infected by the environment and panicked, losing his usual suave demeanor. "Don't scare me!"

Wei Shan gripped the handrail tightly, his body slightly arched, as if he would run wild at any moment.

The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

Just then, Lin Yi suddenly noticed that the elevator car, illuminated by LED lights, was filled with white powder particles at some point, and these powder particles were being absorbed by Wei Shan in an alarming way!

「Wei Sang...? ! Is this pollution brought by the Russian, or... is he suffering from new pollution?」

Lin Yi tried to wake Wei Shan, but found that the air around Wei Shan was distorted, and his body seemed to be spewing out some kind of blue vapor that could only be detected through 「Perception」!

But the whole process ended quickly as the elevator slowed down...

「Whoosh—」

Violent friction sounds came continuously from the elevator and the elevator shaft, and the elevator as a whole began to slow down and finally stopped steadily.

Wei Shan's breathing gradually became steady, while Kua Hongji's eyes coldly swept across the ceiling of the elevator car.

At this time, Lin Yi could no longer see any changes in Wei Shan, and even the scene he had just seen in 「Perception」 seemed like an illusion.

"Wei Sang, are you okay?" he asked with concern.

Wei Shan shook his head slightly: "Old Lin, I'm fine."

"Hehe he... if he was in trouble, he wouldn't be so quiet," Kua Hongji said in a sinister tone at this moment.

"Get lost!" Wei Shan spat angrily, "It must be something good you did! They're chasing after us!"

"It's dawn, this matter is over," Kua Hongji shrugged coldly.

"But I feel they're right here!" Wei Shan pointed angrily at the elevator car under his feet, emphasizing, "Here!"

"You're mistaken."

Wei Shan grabbed Kua Hongji's collar: "You know better than me whether I'm wrong!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Seeing that Wei Shan couldn't help but act, Lin Yi quickly interrupted them, his expression quite ugly, "So, can one of you tell me what's going on? I don't want to hear vague things, who are 'they'?"

Wei Shan snorted coldly, turned his head away and didn't speak.

"Kua Kua, you tell me," Lin Yi stared at Kua Hongji.

Kua Hongji squeezed out a sinister smile: "Who else could it be, the things that knock on the door in the middle of the night. Most likely they couldn't get in, so they hid in the elevator and came with us... Fatty, is that what you wanted to say?"

Wei Shan hummed, still not speaking.

"Statues?" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively.

After he finished speaking, his gaze swept back and forth across Wei Shan and Kua Hongji's faces.

Unexpectedly, the expressions of these two people were frighteningly calm, as if they didn't find it surprising at all.

"Anything with statue characteristics is possible," Tian Bufan interrupted the topic and reminded seriously, "We're leaving the dormitory soon, don't talk about things that exceed your understanding."

"If you have anything to say, let's discuss it together when we get back to the dormitory tonight."

At the end, he swept a very obvious warning look at Wei Shan and Kua Hongji, and then motioned for Lin Yi to continue: "Old Lin, continue talking about the dream you had."

Lin Yi frowned. He didn't enter Kua Hongji's perspective when he was dreaming, so he didn't know what was special about Kua Hongji, but it was clear that he discovered in Wei Shan's dream that Wei Shan took the initiative to attack the inhuman classmate and achieved a certain attack effect.

But he always felt that attacking the inhuman classmates might have some kind of side effect.

Otherwise, if it was really possible to fight back against the inhuman classmates, the rules wouldn't have really said nothing about it.

He had a speculation that attacking the inhuman classmates, whether he was injured or they were injured, would aggravate his pollution, because the blood flowing out after the injury would turn into ketchup, and ketchup itself was a pollutant.

But he currently has no evidence to prove this conjecture, and at the same time, he doesn't know whether the blood flowing out of the trainee before the cognition is destroyed will turn into ketchup.

Because the little genius's cognition may have collapsed before he was killed, so his blood was already polluted.

And it was impossible for him to cut his hand to verify this conjecture, because he, to some extent, already belonged to the category of 「trainees who have been polluted but at least look normal at the moment」.

Among these people, it seems that only Wei Liang is still normal.

"Damn it, Old Lin, don't look at me with that kind of look! I'm scared to death!" Wei Liang's desire to survive exploded.

Lin Yi silently retracted his gaze.

「Liangzi has also been polluted... he's just lying to himself.」

He shook his head helplessly in his heart.

Speaking of which, none of these people are normal now?

Suddenly realizing this problem, Lin Yi suddenly felt a tightening in his neck and a feeling of being covered in sweat.

「Damn it, only today do I realize that I'm this kind of me?」

First, thank you all bosses for the monthly tickets you voted!

PS: I couldn't hold on today and went to the emergency room. After the examination, it's probably just a cold and then a bacterial infection causing otitis media, sinusitis, and so on. Then I re-registered for a number for tomorrow. The specifics will be discussed after the examination tomorrow...
