Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Looking at the corridor bridge, Lin Yi observed it for a while and found that it seemed quite normal. If nothing unexpected happened, he might only see its abnormal side when something did go wrong.

He suddenly understood why.

"Now the sun is strong, it's normal that I can't see any problems... Perhaps I need to wait for abnormal weather, or go to those very dark corners to observe it?"

He shook his head slightly, intending to seize the time to look at the next spot.

But just as he was about to leave, a gust of wind swept through the mountains and forests, and the leaves of the trees in the distant mountains and nearby fields rustled, like the sound of the sea in a forest...

Lin Yi suddenly thought of something and quickly came to the entrance of the corridor bridge, then observed the outer wall of the corridor bridge.

"There really is a problem!" A glint of light flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.

On the outer wall of the corridor bridge, there was actually a layer of moss growing...

How could moss grow like this in the sunlight?

So the problem lies here.

Lin Yi glanced at his watch. It was 14:36, so he decisively walked towards the corridor, slowly walking towards Building C of the teaching building.

As he walked, he observed the environment of the corridor bridge.

There were also incandescent lamps on the ceiling of the corridor bridge, but they were not turned on during the day. He mainly started observing the growth of the moss as he walked.

Three minutes later, he finished walking the corridor bridge and arrived at Building C of the teaching building.

Li Huiyuan silently followed him here. She was a little puzzled by his behavior along the way, but she didn't say anything.

In Building C of the teaching building, the students had already returned to the teaching building and were in the afternoon self-study class. There were some figures coming and going in the corridor, but not many. They didn't show any extra expressions when they saw Lin Yi.

Lin Yi stood at the corridor bridge exit of Building C and stroked his chin in thought.

"The distribution of moss on the corridor bridge is not a straight line, but somewhat twisted... But even considering that the corridor bridge itself has ups and downs, the growth of these mosses shouldn't be crooked, right?"

Lin Yi seemed to have captured some kind of inspiration and quickly continued to reason along this feeling...

"We can't use conventional thinking to think about the problem of moss. We have to consider the situation of layer collapse, plus the previous conjectures about moss..."

The previous moss, of course, was the moss in the student passage of the cafeteria, the moss in front of the steps of the teaching building, and the moss covering the mountain wall on the first floor of the cafeteria...

"Assuming that the corridor bridge here will not have layer collapse, then the growth environment of the moss may depend on the mountain fog and water vapor at night... But if this is the case, it is impossible to grow so unevenly, but should grow all over the wall."

"So this assumption is not valid. Then what if the moss grows during layer collapse?"

"If this is the case..."

Lin Yi slowly narrowed his eyes, seemingly staring at the front, but actually he was lost in thought...

The three connected teaching buildings were constructed in his mind, connected to each other by the wolf corridor bridge, and then... Lin Yi imagined a piece of mountain fog spreading out from the mountains and slowly spreading to the teaching building area...

As the fog surged, the shape of the teaching building began to become unstable, showing a sense of twisting and stretching...

This feeling is difficult to deduce in the mind, so he changed a method, using the moss as a baseline in his mind, and slowly pulling the twisted lines into a horizontal straight line...

"Hiss... It's a bit difficult..."

It is really a bit illogical to distort the regular-shaped building like a teaching building through imagination. After some attempts, Lin Yi felt a headache.

"We need to break some fixed thinking..."

Lin Yi scratched his head and looked at Li Huiyuan: "Li Huiyuan?"

"Ah? I'm here." Li Huiyuan suddenly stood up straight.

"I want to think about a problem. You wait and watch me for a while. If I have anything wrong, you quickly shake me awake." Lin Yi said as he walked to the sun.

As soon as Li Huiyuan heard this, she asked: "Is it the kind of shaking you shook me with?"

Lin Yi was suddenly stunned, thinking, I asked you to keep an eye on me, why are you so excited? Could it be that you want to take revenge and stir my brains?

"It's about the same, anyway, if you feel that I'm not right, shake me desperately, shake and shout, the harder the better." Lin Yi ordered sternly with a stern face.

"Uh... okay." Li Huiyuan nodded slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Lin Yi then took a deep breath and glanced at his watch.

14:40.

So far, everything is normal...

He then shook his head violently, like a boxer doing warm-up exercises before attacking, and then began to concentrate and hold his breath, imagining in his mind...

"Don't imagine it as a teaching building, imagine it as... a teaching building made of plasticine..."

"Soft... right..."

Imagining a teaching building as a plasticine in the shape of a teaching building, kneading it becomes much simpler in an instant.

Lin Yi was happy: "Distorting a solid in the mind is indeed different from imagining kneading plasticine!"

He then began to slowly straighten the twisted lines formed by the moss. As the lines straightened, the original square outline of the teaching building began to collapse, replaced by stones arranged and combined like Transformers...

When the moss was stretched into a horizontal straight line, the original form of the building completely disappeared, replaced by a post-modern architectural work with extremely strong style.

Like a fortress in Alien, an architectural fortress with extremely abstract lines and strong style.

When he saw this building, he felt that he vaguely understood a little about the shape of the teaching building after the layer collapsed, but this seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg of the real situation...

But the clues he knew were only this little bit, and it was not realistic to try to deduce it further, so he dismissed the idea of continuing to think, withdrew from thinking, and came back to his senses.

"It seems that when the campus is normal, the clues that can be obtained from this area of the corridor bridge are very limited, but it is also true... How could every place in the campus have big problems?"

Lin Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, then turned to Li Huiyuan and said: "Let's go, we will go to the building next..."

His voice suddenly stopped abruptly, a "long-lost" feeling of chills running down his spine directly enveloped him—

Li Huiyuan was gone.

"Damn... Li Huiyuan?!" Lin Yi cursed inwardly. His first reaction was that Li Huiyuan had an accident under his nose, but he immediately realized a more serious problem.

It's not that Li Huiyuan had a problem, but... he had a problem!!!

He discovered that the corridor bridge in front of him was, unbelievably, twisted into the shape he had kneaded out of plasticine in his mind!

The problem, needless to say, was with whom?!

"Li Huiyuan didn't wake me up? Or is it that… even Li Huiyuan didn't notice that something was wrong with me?!"

If it was the former, that would be fine, but if it was the latter, the problem would be huge…

Falling into a layer silently was one thing, but to not even be noticed, wouldn't that mean he could die at any time without even knowing it?!

Lin Yi suddenly felt a little panicked, but his instinct told him in an extremely rational tone—I know you're panicking, but calm down first.

So he took a deep breath and then calmed himself down.

Why could he still remain calm?

Lin Yi couldn't say for sure, but perhaps it was because… the bizarre scene before him was something he had deduced himself?

It was like looking at a painting he had drawn himself. No matter how outrageous the painting was, because he had drawn it himself, it didn't seem so scary?

Lin Yi gradually calmed down. In this environment, he didn't seem to feel any danger—even though the teaching building in front of him was twisted into such a strange shape.

The newest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Just then, a voice rang in his ears…

"Lin… Classmate Lin… Classmate Lin…"

This familiar voice sent a jolt through his heart.

He turned his head slightly and suddenly saw Li Huiyuan, who had originally disappeared.

"Huh? Li Huiyuan appeared again…?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he felt unreal. "Could it be that Li Huiyuan also fell into this layer? That shouldn't be…"

Lin Yi was a little confused. He had never brought anyone else with him when he fell into a layer…

Oh no, he had encountered Little Genius, who was disguised as Wei Liang and had the quality of a plaster statue…

Speaking of which, Little Genius at that time should also belong to the "Night Walker" category, right?

Although Xu Shunkang didn't mention that state, Lin Yi guessed it, because Xu Shunkang had said, [Once they violate the rules, all that awaits them is death, and something even more terrifying than death.]

The so-called "something even more terrifying than death" might be the situation of Little Genius.

Dead, but not completely dead, and who knows what kind of torture they would have to endure.

"Could this Li Huiyuan also be fake?"

When this thought popped into Lin Yi's mind, he was also stunned, wondering if he was starting to become obsessed himself?

But on second thought, he couldn't help but have this idea. After all, with Night Walkers pretending to be Wei Liang and Li Huiyuan as "precious examples," who knew if he would encounter it again now?

But soon he realized that this was not the case. This Li Huiyuan was real, because… Li Huiyuan was really shaking him!

He saw Li Huiyuan holding his shoulders with both hands, shaking him violently like doing a bench press in the gym, shaking him like a teddy bear, and shaking himself with ups and downs…

Looking at Li Huiyuan's increasingly violent shaking method, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel that she had some personal grudges in it…

"Could it be that I really almost shook her brains out before… Was I really that strong at that time?" Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little guilty. At that time, in order to save Li Huiyuan, he really didn't care much.

He only remembered shouting her name while trying to wake her up, and kept increasing the intensity when he saw that she didn't wake up… In the end, he really didn't know how much strength he used, but the effect was at least good.

But just then, he discovered another problem…

The person Li Huiyuan was shaking was him, but—not the "him" of the present.

He could see himself and Li Huiyuan at the same time, and he could also clearly see that the ground beneath their feet was a normal teaching building, not the twisted appearance of the brick patterns of the floor he was currently on.

He and "them" were only a step away, as close as if there was a layer of gauze between them…

Lin Yi gently approached the self behind the gauze, and as soon as he took a step, the environment around him began to collapse and change, like a huge machine that had wrapped him suddenly deconstructed its encirclement and began to retreat from his side…

He found that the dim environment around him also began to quickly withdraw from the ground under his feet, the ground above his head, and the pillars around him like wriggling liquid, and at the same time, the originally twisted corridor bridge and abstract teaching building also began to gradually return to the normal state of "what it should have been."

His outstretched foot finally solidified in place after taking half a step.

Looking at himself behind the gauze and Li Huiyuan who was shaking him, two thoughts emerged in his mind.

Go back immediately, or not go back yet?

These two completely different thoughts were like two martial arts masters standing on the top of a mountain confronting each other, and then starting a desperate battle, forming a terrible storm of thought in his mind.

He felt that he could go back at any time.

But he also felt that his current layer was very stable…

Very stably located in another layer that he didn't know what was going on but seemed to be completely dependent on his own imagination.

It was like… entering his own painting.

No, saying it was a painting wasn't right.

More like… more like playing "Minecraft." He imported the part of the teaching building that he had already explored into his mind, and then, as an editor, arbitrarily distorted the "modules" of this area according to his own subjective consciousness, so that it was edited into the way he wanted it to be.

And now, he was like an editor inspecting this "new teaching building" in "Minecraft."

That layer of gauze was like the switch to exit this world. When he passed through it, he would return to "reality."

"So… I didn't feel the discomfort and eeriness after falling into this 'world' because I am the creator of this 'layer'?!"

Four words appeared in his mind: "Daydream."

This was a chapter he had seen in a vampire manga before, which told the story of the vampire elder Last trying to create a "day" with his abilities so that his "daughter" could move in the sun…

And he was now almost equivalent to daydreaming a teaching building?!

In the end, he retracted his outstretched foot and slowly placed it on the ground.

With this one action, the "environment" that had receded like a tide immediately made a comeback, and the corridor bridge that had recovered from the distortion was once again twisted into that abstract appearance…
