Rules-related weird stories: 4016
#11 - Corridor lights flashing
Lin Yi's heart was filled with terror, and his pupils slowly dilated.
At that moment, he felt an icy aura seeping out from his internal organs, as if it were about to freeze every pore on his body.
He even forgot to breathe for a moment, but wisps of white air still eerily escaped from his mouth and nose.
He suddenly shuddered and took a closer look, only to find that the shadows of the corridor seemed to contain only overlapping mists, and there were no suspicious figures at all.
"Was I seeing things?"
He frowned and squinted, feeling a sense of doubt in his heart.
But no matter what, that indescribable sense of fear and the bizarre hallucination didn't seem fake.
Lin Yi seemed to realize something, he took a deep breath, threw the thought aside, and tried his best to suppress the urge to think in that direction.
He began to observe the surrounding environment.
The decoration style of this teaching building was obviously from the 2010s. The walls were covered with tiles that were half a person's height, and the area above the windowsills was pure white painted wall.
However, the area of the painted wall near the ground already showed signs of graying and blackening, which was a sign that the teaching building was damp all year round.
Lin Yi also looked up at the ceiling of the corridor.
Every distance along the corridor, there was an incandescent light, and as the line of sight lengthened, the incandescent lights disappeared into the end of the corridor.
Some black particles were deposited in the lampshade of the incandescent light, which seemed to be accumulated corpses of mosquitoes and insects.
All kinds of signs indicated that this was not a newly built campus, but more like one that had been renovated constantly.
"Could there really be a basement, just not open to the public for some reason?"
"Does this mean there's also a Building D and others...?"
"Wait, wait, wait, I can't think about these things..."
"Think about the teaching building..."
"The teaching building also has lights, but why don't they have the same effect as the street lights?"
"Is it the problem with the lights, or some other reason?"
This time Lin Yi was honest, he only took a small sip and gave up thinking the moment he raised the question.
He continued to observe, and then suddenly found that there was also a women's restroom next to the men's restroom. There was also a line of people lining up on the women's restroom side, but he didn't notice it at first.
Unknowingly, Lin Yi and Wei Liang had reached the entrance of the restroom.
A classmate walked out of the restroom, and Lin Yi, who was standing at the door, moved half his body to the side to let him pass.
Just as the classmate brushed past Lin Yi, a strange and uncomfortable feeling suddenly arose in Lin Yi's heart.
So he turned his head and glanced at that classmate.
The classmate was moving forward slowly with a stiff body, looking dull and slow.
But just as Lin Yi looked at him, he suddenly reacted, his body tensed up, and then, like a puppet being hung by strings, he slowly turned his body and looked towards Lin Yi's location.
Lin Yi had already turned his head back when the other party showed a tendency to turn around, and then entered the restroom.
Throughout the whole process, he restrained himself from thinking too much about the classmate's affairs.
But even after he finished using the restroom, that strange and uncomfortable feeling still tightly enveloped him.
So he went to the sink to wash his hands, casually scooped up some water to rinse his face, and then looked at himself in the mirror.
His reflection in the mirror was a little more haggard than he remembered. The area around his eye bags was faintly dark. Lin Yi was a little surprised. He had only been in school for a short time, but he was already showing a decadent look of staying up all night.
He rinsed his face a few more times, but the discomfort not only did not disappear, but became even stronger.
He suddenly thought of using the mirror to look while he was washing his face and looking up.
The angle of the mirror directly illuminated the corridor, but he couldn't find the figure of that classmate in the mirror.
He breathed a sigh of relief, shook his hands dry, and turned around, a huge face directly invaded his vision.
That classmate didn't know when he had returned, and had already returned to his side. When he turned around, he directly bumped face-to-face with the latter next to him.
Lin Yi was so frightened that his body straightened up subconsciously.
"Classmate, were you looking for me just now?" the classmate asked gently.
Under the pale yellow light of the incandescent lamp, there was a twitching expression on the classmate's face, as if he wanted to show a smile, but it was a forced smile, looking very strange.
Such an expression formed a strong contrast with his tone.
"No," Lin Yi quickly shook his head and denied, while trying his best to make his tone sound normal. "My neck just felt uncomfortable, so I just moved around a bit."
The classmate said, "That's how it is when you sit for too long. Which class are you in?"
"I'm in Group B, Class 6," Lin Yi blurted out.
"Class 6?" The classmate asked in confusion, "Class 6 is upstairs, why did you come down to the first floor?"
"There are too many people upstairs, so I came down," Lin Yi said quickly. "I just didn't expect there to be just as many people down here."
The classmate said, "There are quite a few people at this time. I'm also from Class 6, want to go together?"
Lin Yi's expression froze slightly, and he had a few swear words he wanted to say in his heart. Just then, Wei Liang washed his hands and came to Lin Yi's side.
"Let's go, Lao Lin," Wei Liang urged. "It's getting late."
"That's right, it's getting late, let's go together," the expression on the classmate's face finally gradually matched from the twitching.
An extremely standard smile.
Just like those strange classmates in the classroom.
"Ah?" Wei Liang was slightly stunned, turned to look at Lin Yi, and gestured between the two of them with his fingers, asking doubtfully, "Just met?"
"Yes..." Lin Yi forced a smile.
"Let's go, let's go, there's really not much time left," the classmate urged. "Come with me!"
As he said that, he walked out of the men's restroom on his own, looking like he was taking the lead, and turned to the left.
Only then did Lin Yi notice that there was also a recessed building area to the left of the restroom, and that area was right in the shadows where the incandescent light did not shine, covered by the drifting mist.
The classmate walked into the shadows without hesitation, and then reached out and pressed the wall.
A "↑" arrow pattern on the wall lit up.
There was actually an elevator there.
"If you're in Class 6... you can take the elevator up and walk a few steps to get there, come on," the classmate invited.
"?!!"
Lin Yi and Wei Liang's pupils both shook violently.
Upon hearing the word elevator, even Wei Liang suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Let's go!" Lin Yi grabbed Wei Liang's hand and dragged him into the corridor.
"Damn, you're reacting quickly now!" Wei Liang was dragged by Lin Yi like a kite, but his extraordinary physical fitness was fully demonstrated at this moment.
It could be seen that when he was first dragged, his steps were very staggered, and his legs were almost entangled together.
But after a few breaths, his pace stabilized, and he directly ran shoulder to shoulder with Lin Yi.
"Go, go, go! Back to the classroom!" Although Wei Liang was very flustered, his breathing was very steady.
Lin Yi glanced at him in surprise.
"What are you looking at? I've participated in wilderness survival, okay!" Wei Liang couldn't help but say.
Lin Yi suddenly felt that Wei Liang, who could participate in that program, was still capable.
Lin Yi looked back and saw that the classmate hadn't chased after them, but was standing woodenly at the elevator entrance, staring at them with cold eyes.
"Huh? Didn't chase after us?"
"Wait…!!"
After getting some distance from the elevator entrance, Lin Yi suddenly realized that as the fog increased and the light dimmed, the classmate standing at the elevator entrance looked exactly like the thin figure he had vaguely seen standing in the shadows of the corridor before!
"Was it him I saw at the beginning?!"
A huge wave instantly surged in Lin Yi's heart. At that moment, a heavy force came from his hand, as if someone had suddenly grabbed him.
It was Wei Liang who grabbed him.
"Old Lin, slow down, slow down, slow down, stop running! We're here!"
"Ah?!" Lin Yi was stunned. When he looked up, he suddenly noticed that the sign for Class 2, Group B, was standing on the wall not far away.
"This…?"
"We're back so soon?!"
"Why is there such a big difference in time going back and forth?!"
Many questions subconsciously popped up in his mind.
And at that moment, the thoughts that he had suppressed before emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain. Even though he hadn't had time to think properly, a feeling of exhaustion had already begun to spread uncontrollably from the depths of his heart.
The latest novels are available on 69shu.com!
"Old Lin, do you prefer black silk or white silk?" At this moment, Wei Liang's low roar sounded in Lin Yi's ear.
"Ah?" Lin Yi was stunned. His original thoughts were suddenly overwhelmed by black silk and white silk.
Almost out of gentlemanly instinct, many legs of black silk mature women and white silk loli flashed through his mind. At the same time, he blurted out without hesitation:
"More black silk."
As soon as he said this, the feeling of exhaustion in Lin Yi's heart disappeared instantly.
"Hypocrite! I clearly remember you being a white silk loli lover!" Wei Liang said with contempt. As he spoke, the two had already arrived at the classroom door of Class 2, Group B.
The classroom door was ajar, and the warmth behind the door seemed like a fire, dispersing the fog at the door.
"Go!" Wei Liang pushed the door open and rushed into the classroom.
Lin Yi followed closely behind.
After entering the classroom, Lin Yi wanted to close the door.
"Wait." The class teacher held the door. "Don't close the door yet. I'll close it later."
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, teacher."
"Report your names and student IDs." The class teacher opened the folder and took out a list from it.
Lin Yi glanced at it and found that some people's names on the list were marked with an 'X', while others had a checkmark.
Scanning through quickly, he found that some people's names had neither a checkmark nor an 'X', but an underscore.
"Lin Yi, student ID X0230506098."
"Wei Liang, student ID X0230506096."
"Huh?" Lin Yi suddenly turned to look at Wei Liang. "Didn't you say you were 097?"
Wei Liang rubbed his nose awkwardly: "When I first met you, I had to test you out, didn't I?"
Lin Yi clenched his fists, really wanting to give him two punches right now.
"No problem, you guys go back to your seats first," the class teacher said after registering.
Wei Liang took the lead and walked towards the seat.
Lin Yi just glanced out the door.
The door of this classroom is really strange. After opening it, you can faintly feel a warm airflow spraying out from the outside, dispersing some of the fog at the door.
But when you look from the inside, you will find that fog is constantly spreading in from the crack in the door. Along with the fog, there is also a trace of icy cold wind.
He looked towards the darkness under the steps outside the door, and suddenly saw some blurred figures in the rolling fog…
He rubbed his eyes and looked intently, only to see the rolling fog brushing over the campus like clouds and smoke. The already hazy streetlights became even dimmer, like a sea beacon about to be submerged by a storm.
The rain seemed to be getting heavier. Lin Yi could hear the rustling sound through the door. An indescribable sense of horror was rolling in the distant fog like a poisonous snake, and the frost seemed to be corroding the ground of the teaching building.
A hint of worry also appeared in the class teacher's eyes. She looked at the clock in the teaching building.
21:35.
"Five more minutes…" Lin Yi heard her mutter.
But at this moment, the lights in the corridor suddenly flickered.
The cold air seemed to be even worse.
The class teacher's face changed instantly. She looked at the clock again.
21:35.
Then, she took the folder and went straight to the classroom door, looking out of the classroom.
About half a minute later, another fluorescent light in the corridor flickered.
"Not good!" The class teacher exclaimed softly.
Then, she looked around the classroom, raised her clear voice, and said: "All students staying overnight in the classroom, pay attention. The situation is special today. After I close the door, everyone is forbidden to leave the classroom!"
"Once the lights in the classroom start to flicker, you must squat under the desk as soon as possible and grab the legs of the desks and chairs!"
"The lights in the classroom will not go out completely immediately. Once all the lights are out—do not close your eyes! Do not look around or look up! Keep your eyes on the patterns on the ground or the legs of the desks. It is best to silently recite your names and student IDs in your heart!"
"At the same time, do not communicate with anyone! Ignore any sounds! Until the lights in the classroom return to normal!"
"Last point!"
"Be careful of anyone who enters the classroom after I close the door! Do not have any communication with them!"
The class teacher spoke extremely quickly but pronounced each word unusually clearly. After speaking, she closed the door without hesitation.
"Bang!"
The classroom door closed heavily.
…
May 6, 2023, 21:38.
The class teacher closed the door of Class 2, Group B, and then inserted the key into the keyhole, frantically twisting it.
"Click! Click! Click! Click…"
One circle, two circles, three circles…
The class teacher locked the door while silently chanting in her heart. The lock tongue seemed to be endless, and no matter how much she twisted it, she couldn't lock it to the end.
"Okay!"
She pulled out the key, rushed to the left without hesitation, and reached out to grab a door handle blindly.
She raised her eyes and glanced.
"Teacher's Office (a small line on the side: Class 2, Group B)"
She breathed a long sigh of relief, then twisted the door handle and pushed the door open.
At this moment, the lights in the corridor suddenly flickered.
"Teacher…"
A hoarse call suddenly sounded behind the class teacher.
The first round of trial recommendation is about to begin. Please add a bookshelf and follow the reading, everyone. Thank you all!
