Rules-related weird stories: 4016

He looked at Xu Shunkang, waiting for his answer. If Xu Shunkang and the others didn't plan to say much from the bottom of their hearts, then he would have to hurry to the next place and couldn't waste any more time here.

Xu Shunkang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but scratch the back of his head, asking a little embarrassed, "Where were we just now?"

"Night Walkers and sculptures," Lin Yi reminded him.

"Ah, oh, oh!" Xu Shunkang suddenly realized, but looked at Li Huiyuan with some concern, and whispered, "But I see that your... girlfriend's condition doesn't seem very stable. If I say everything, will it make her situation continue to deteriorate?"

"Her condition can continue to deteriorate?" Lin Yi asked in surprise, and Li Huiyuan's expression also changed slightly.

Xu Shunkang said speechlessly, "Pollution is only zero or positive. Either there is none at all, or once it is polluted, it will continue to deepen, unless you can escape the campus in time, or..."

"'Or'? There's still an 'or'?" Lin Yi was taken aback.

Xu Shunkang took a deep look at him and Li Huiyuan, and then said, "Or... master the 'pollution' into a power that you can use."

Lin Yi was silent for a moment, thinking that it meant transforming his identity...

"I... I believe in student Lin, so please, continue talking," Li Huiyuan's voice slowly sounded from beside him while Lin Yi was silent.

Li Huiyuan had already calmed down at this time. It seemed that she was also a little accustomed to the eerie sense of falling through layers, and the speed of recovery was getting faster and faster.

Xu Shunkang then nodded, "Since you insist on knowing, then I'll continue."

"I mentioned a 'depth of pollution' just now, right?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"Within the campus, every individual has their own 'pollution range'. As long as it is within the 'pollution range', the individual's corresponding state can be maintained."

"For example... you, no, you, let's use you as an example," Xu Shunkang originally pointed to Lin Yi, but after hesitating for a moment, he changed the pointing to Li Huiyuan.

Lin Yi, oh Lin Yi, you chose this yourselves, don't blame me for telling you these things in advance... Xu Shunkang said in his heart.

Being named by Xu Shunkang, Li Huiyuan was first surprised and flustered, but immediately pursed her lips and calmed down, then nodded, "Okay, let's use me as an example. I also want to know what I will eventually become if I continue to be polluted."

Lin Yi looked at Li Huiyuan with some surprise, and for a moment, he didn't understand why she would be willing.

Moreover, what was outrageous was that he actually saw a certain resolute look in Li Huiyuan's eyes. This kind of willpower didn't seem like something a person who had just fallen through layers a few minutes ago should have.

"Or is it... that some kind of idea has awakened in her heart?" Lin Yi was confused, but he didn't interrupt Li Huiyuan's words.

Because he himself also wanted to know information about this aspect.

Xu Shunkang then took a deep breath, and then sorted out his thoughts a little, and said, "Let me tell you from the beginning."

"You are all people who signed up on the school's official website. After being screened by a company that cooperates with the school, the company arranges a blue school bus to uniformly send you to the campus."

"At this time, you obtain the first 'identity'."

"Note what I said about 'identity'. This is not an ordinary meaning, but refers to your 'positioning' in the campus."

"Have you ever played chess? If you haven't, it doesn't matter, at least you know about it, right? General, Advisor, Elephant, Horse, Chariot, Cannon, Pawn... Each 'identity' has its own 'positioning' and 'characteristics'."

"When you enter the mountain area in the blue school bus, you have already obtained the first identity. This identity is called 'Unofficial Experience Student'."

"After you enter the campus and obtain a 'student ID' through the class teacher, you become a 'Formal Experience Student', or 'Experience Student' for short, and the student ID is your corresponding identity in this game of chess."

"Only people with an 'identity' can obtain the protection of the corresponding rules. If there is no corresponding proof that can prove the 'identity'... then they will become wandering lonely ghosts in the game of chess."

Li Huiyuan's face instantly turned pale, but she took a deep breath to keep herself calm, so that she could listen to Xu Shunkang's explanation of this important information along with Lin Yi.

"The entire game of chess is actually filled with a source of pollution. You can broadly understand them as a kind of 'fog'. This fog is generally white, but it is not ruled out that there will sometimes be some special colors... I don't think you've seen other colors yet, have you?"

"Green..." Li Huiyuan weakly opened her mouth. In order to make it easier for Xu Shunkang to use her as an example, she also said her situation, "I have seen... green fog."

Xu Shunkang's expression suddenly changed: "You can even see that kind of green fog?"

Lin Yi heard this and shouted inwardly, 'Damn, I can see it too...' It seems like I'm in a relatively serious depth of pollution?!

Xu Shunkang immediately stared at Li Huiyuan's pretty face, and then narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, a golden light flashed in his eyes, with a kind of expressive power like "opening eyes" in anime...

After staring at Li Huiyuan for a while, he suddenly frowned, then quickly came behind Li Huiyuan and looked at her back.

"Damn, you were scratched by Green Cap?" Xu Shunkang said in shock.

"Let me see!" Xie Huayang suddenly burst out and also came behind Li Huiyuan.

The two old men kept their golden pupils and stared at Li Huiyuan's back, with a sense of both visual perception, like two calligraphy masters using a magnifying glass to observe Tang Yin's precious works, with an unspeakable sense of professionalism in their eyes.

It's just that... looking at a girl's back with this kind of gaze, the taste of a calligraphy master has been cut in half, and the taste of a pervert has suddenly permeated...

Li Huiyuan twisted her body a little unnaturally, with a strange expression. She wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

People are looking at the scratches of the green bib chef. People aren't even embarrassed. What's the point of you being coy... Li Huiyuan cursed herself in her heart, and very self-consciously endured it.

Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang really didn't have any extra thoughts, and also showed solid professional knowledge.

"Strange... Being scratched by Green Cap will definitely be marked, just like a hunter marks prey, but why is her mark gone?" Xu Shunkang pondered for a moment, then looked at Lin Yi with a hesitant expression, "Did you do it?"

Lin Yi thought of the dazzling green light spot in the exposed image quality vision, and immediately asked, "Are you talking about that nail-like thing?"

"Each Green Cap's mark is different, but... since you said that, it should be. Did you peel it off?" Xu Shunkang asked.

Lin Yi nodded: "It did peel off with a single peel... and then it evaporated when it was exposed to light, so I don't know what it was."

"You damn... you even took it off with your bare hands?" Xu Shunkang was dumbfounded, "Brother, are you okay? Didn't you encounter anything ominous after taking this thing off?"

"Damn?!" Lin Yi was startled, "Damn, is it that serious? I don't know anything!"

"You don't know and you dare to take it off?"

"I didn't feel any danger?"

"You, you damn... you damn..." Xu Shunkang widened his golden eyes and looked him up and down, his expression becoming more and more strange, "You're awesome, you're okay even after that!"

The conversation between the two had a very high level of maternal content, which made Li Huiyuan, who was sandwiched in the middle, a little embarrassed...

Xu Shunkang waved his hand and ended the topic: "Okay, okay, since the mark has been peeled off and you're okay, then that's good, let's continue."

"That kind of pollutant looks like a kind of 'fog'. If you observe it with the naked eye, it's a fog that's similar in shape to natural mountain fog, but it's just a bit thicker. But in the eyes of people whose pollution level has reached a certain level, it will appear as another color, such as green..."

"The campus is actually full of fog, but usually it is difficult for experience students to come into contact with it. Sometimes, even if there is, you only need to withstand the influence of the fog and quickly go to the building to take refuge in accordance with the rules."

“The school uses rules to minimize the possibility of contamination for the exchange students, and even if they are contaminated, it can basically be controlled within an ideal range. After the exchange period ends and they leave the campus, the pollutants remaining in their bodies will disappear over time.”

“However, the speed of this contamination will increase with the relaxation of the exchange students' own will and cognitive conflicts arising from certain special situations within the campus.”

“‘Cognition’ is like a shield. Once your perception of the campus becomes distorted, cracks will appear in the shield, and contamination will seep in.”

“So sometimes, when cognition is unstable, you need to use a firm will to forcibly suppress the distortion of cognition, thereby making the cracks on the shield disappear.”

“You know how to pull her back from that picture… from an unstable state, so you must also know the relationship between cognition and will, right?”

Lin Yi nodded.

Xu Shunkang continued, “That’s why I told you not to think wildly the night before yesterday, because the problems in the campus are too big, especially for those who spent the first night in the classroom. As long as you think about it, your cognition will be problematic 100%.”

“I don’t know how you managed to survive, but since you are now full of energy, it means your situation exceeded my expectations, so I won’t say anything more to you.”

Xu Shunkang glanced at Li Huiyuan, and then said, “As for you…”

“The ‘exchange student’ contamination range has a lower limit. Once it exceeds the lower limit, various problems will occur… Simply put, it’s like installing an airplane engine on a small bread van. When you step on the gas, the chassis can’t handle it.”

“Putting it into a chessboard, it’s like a ‘pawn’ has the movement ability of a ‘knight’. Anyone with a discerning eye can immediately see the problem, so once a ‘pawn’ doesn’t act like a ‘pawn’ but like a ‘knight’, it will attract the attention of the ‘knights’, and what’s worse is that they won’t only attract the attention of the ‘knights’.”

“Returning to the matter of exchange students, after an exchange student is contaminated, some can rely on their own will to pull themselves back to the normal world, while others will begin to waver between ‘normal’ and ‘unstable state’, and are even easily pushed directly into an ‘unstable state’ by some external stimuli, just like her.”

“An ‘exchange student’ who becomes unstable is like a mild contaminator. They will be coveted by severe contaminators.”

“For severe contaminators, mild contaminators are something similar to them… But, similar doesn’t mean they will receive their ‘friendly treatment’. The number of severe contaminators who maintain rationality is extremely small, and most of them act based on ‘perception’ and ‘instinct’.”

“It's like throwing a cub into a pack of greedy and hungry beasts. Almost none will choose to 'protect' it. Most beasts would rather devour the cub to have a full meal…”

“But severe contaminators are restricted by the weather, so they can only bide their time. Foolish hunters are still relying on ‘perception’ to search for prey, while clever hunters have already begun to place markers…”

“In this situation, unstable exchange students are actually very likely to start violating the rules… After being contaminated, the brain's thinking and their own behavioral logic will have some deviations due to the distortion of cognition. The fatal thing is that even if they realize the problem is happening, they have no way to pull themselves back on track, and some, perhaps, don't even know they are falling.”

“Once they violate the rules, only death awaits them, and things more terrifying than death.”

“And the exchange students who are lucky enough to escape from the hands of severe contaminators will face more problems, such as… losing their student ID.”

“Not to mention being taken away.” Xu Shunkang narrowed his eyes, a strange smile with a hint of sarcasm appearing on the corner of his mouth, “Imagine… what would it look like if you discarded your own student ID?”

Lin Yi's scalp tingled, and he suddenly felt a sense of terror and trembling fear of the unknown.

“Discard your own student ID?! What kind of situation would you have to encounter to do that?”

He couldn't imagine, and couldn't imagine what kind of crazy and distorted psychological state the person would be in at that time.

“After the student ID is lost, the exchange student will lose some of the protective effect of the rules.” Xu Shunkang said, “Of course, it’s not to say that having a student ID can get the kind of protection I’m talking about.”

“Rather, the student ID, as a proof of identity, is a key tool for anchoring one's own ‘identity’ at critical moments, and there are many places where they are needed, right.”

“If you lose them, you can't use them. For example, you can't swipe your card to go back to the dormitory, and you can't swipe your card to eat in the cafeteria, etc.”

“‘Being unable to perform key events related to that identity positioning’ is the most dangerous consequence of ‘losing identity credentials’.”

“In this situation, it is difficult for you to anchor yourself back from an unstable state, unless…” He glanced at Lin Yi, “Unless someone helps.”

“If this continues, and the contamination continues to worsen, and the exchange student changes from a ‘unstable state’ that can be saved to an ‘unstable state’ that cannot be saved, then… the problem is serious.”

“After losing self-awareness, the exchange student’s shield against contamination will completely collapse, and ‘fog’ will begin to transform the human body like radiation, gradually turning the exchange student from a ‘human’ into a severe contaminator that carries contamination… which is what you call a ‘non-human classmate’.”

“And we have a more professional name for them – ‘Night Walker’.”

Speaking of this, Xu Shunkang stopped, partly to give Lin Yi and Li Huiyuan time to digest the amount of information, and partly to observe their facial expressions to see how they would react.

But the two of them looked normal, not only did they not seem to be dropping layers, but… they were fucking listening to the lecture and learning knowledge!

It was simply outrageous.

… …

“So… ‘Night Walkers’ originally came from this?” Lin Yi frowned slightly. This seemed to be different from the transformation path inferred by Tian Bufan…

“Oh? Then how did you think they came about?” Xu Shunkang asked curiously.

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, and then guessed, “I thought they were transformed art students.”

“Art student transformation?” Xu Shunkang was slightly taken aback, “Have you seen art students? There are no strictly defined art students in our class now.”

Lin Yi thought to himself that he had seen them in his dream, not only art students, but also art teachers, but he couldn't say these words, it would be easy to get hit with a baseball bat.

So he said, “I thought I saw one… Wasn’t there a girl when we were eating that day? Didn’t you say she was an art student?”

“Which girl?” Xu Shunkang asked suspiciously.

Lin Yi then retold the story of the girl in the pink hairpin sailor suit they saw together that day, helping Xu Shunkang to recall: “How is it, do you remember? I remember you said she was an art student that day.”

Xu Shunkang suddenly realized, and then disdainfully said: “I remember it, but the problem is, if I told you at that time that she was a ‘Night Walker’, could your cognition react?”

“? ? ?” Lin Yi was stunned, and immediately realized that Xu Shunkang was serving dishes according to the person, but he immediately widened his eyes and exclaimed: “Damn, she is a ‘Night Walker’?! ”

Xu Shunkang said speechlessly: “I’m just making an analogy, don’t take it seriously…”

“You scared me…” Lin Yi wiped a handful of sweat, thinking that the group of people all came to school in the same car with him, and it was only one night after being abducted, if they turned into Night Walkers so quickly, then the pollution on the art building side would be too outrageous.

“Then… what is she?” Lin Yi asked curiously.
