Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Note 20 read: [Building D exists in the teaching block, but Building D doesn't seem to be in this space.

The teaching block has a basement, but it's currently unknown under what circumstances the stairwell leading to the basement will appear.]

He crossed out "seems," then continued to modify it:

"The teaching block has a basement. (Subsequent text crossed out). People who have lost their student IDs, after being contaminated (or perhaps after a layer collapse or something else?) will see the stairwell leading to the basement."

There were a total of 20 notes previously. After Lin Yi finished modifying them, he looked them over from beginning to end to make sure there were no problems. Then, he briefly organized his thoughts for the day and began to add some new notes:

"23. The convenience store is located on the first floor of the cafeteria, in a place not illuminated by lights but exposed to sunlight. This location information may be related to some characteristics of the layer it's in."

"Perhaps there is more than one layer of the convenience store?"

"24. The green mist emitted by the Contaminated will also attract the attention of nocturnal creatures and other strange entities."

"25. The mechanism by which non-human entities seek enemies in the void has not yet been fully understood."

"26. It is possible to actively attack the Contaminated when necessary, but it is easy to get covered in ketchup, and it is unknown whether this will cause adverse consequences."

"27. The teaching block is a nest for nocturnal creatures."

"28. ..."

He paused, changed the period at the end of the previous sentence to a comma, and added: "... one of them, the life form of the nocturnal creatures has not yet been understood, but sunlight can be used to kill them."

"28. The blue-aproned chef 'As Write'…"

When he wrote this, he suddenly couldn't continue. The signature pen spun around in his hand, and in the end, he didn't know what to write. In the end, this note became 'As Write'.

"29. The combat power of art students may not be weaker than that of sports students."

"30. Leaving the convenience store leads to the student tunnel."

When he finished writing this note, Lin Yi suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. The relationship between the world beneath the layers of S City University and the real world seemed to have become an epitome between the convenience store and the cafeteria.

The process of going from the student cafeteria to the convenience store, and then appearing in the student tunnel after leaving the convenience store, exuded a strong sense of collapse and distorted space, as if twisting the glass corridor bridge into a Möbius strip, invisibly walking through the inner and outer worlds, even smoother than Balenciaga.

After writing note 30, Lin Yi looked back at the most recent 10 notes and realized that since he wrote [Tomatoes are hearts], the style of his notes had become strange.

And this time, the newly added notes seemed to be even more bizarre and mysterious.

These 30 notes were simply a gradually collapsing book of taboos. Lin Yi couldn't help but think again, if his notebook was accidentally dropped, would the person who picked it up go crazy before they even finished reading it, starting from note 1?

But Lin Yi immediately shook his head and muttered strangely, "That's strange, why the hell would I have such a thought?"

His original intention was not to show it to others. Otherwise, he would flip to the first page and write a sentence on the first page after opening the book: "My name is Lin Yi. When you see this book, I am already dead," and then attach a sentence: "Jie jie jie," wouldn't that directly pull the atmosphere to the max?

"You... are about to become a book of taboos..." Night God Lin Yi Yue patted his Death Note and couldn't help but sigh.

…

Li Huiyuan, who was at the side, was casually flipping through the manga. She seemed to be reading the manga, but in reality, her mind was no longer in the manga. Her gaze drifted out of the manga, looking at Lin Yi and Wei Liang, always feeling as if a layer of mist shrouded them, making them completely incomprehensible.

Especially this bigshot named Wei Liang, he punched and kicked the green-aproned chef, and in the end, he was able to retreat unscathed. It was so outrageous!

Even now, while picking his nose and peeking at people, he felt like he was burying some foreshadowing.

Seeming to notice Li Huiyuan's gaze, Wei Liang nonchalantly blew on the finger he had just put to his mouth. After discovering that he couldn't blow away the old booger, he flicked it with great effort, and the booger in his fingernail flew out...

Li Huiyuan instantly understood that this was Wei Liang, the bigshot, using silent language to knock on her, telling her not to look at what she shouldn't look at, otherwise, he would flick her away like a booger...

So she quickly lowered her head and started reading the manga book without daring to breathe.

Time passed quietly. Suddenly, a series of "crack—bang" sounds pierced through the boiling noise and fell into Lin Yi's ears.

He raised his head and happened to see a figure rushing into the classroom door quickly, and then using his back to prop it up.

This person was none other than the middle-aged exchange student who hadn't returned to the classroom before.

After entering the door, he casually threw a large bag at hand to his feet, and then began to gasp for breath, breathing so fast that he couldn't keep up, and then turned into a violent cough.

Along with the cough, large patches of dust fell from his body, as if the great hero in the old-fashioned martial arts movies was practicing boxing.

The dust kept falling, and Lin Yi found it hard to imagine where he had accumulated so much dust. The whole person looked like he had just crawled out of ashes.

"Cough cough..." He supported his knees with his hands, propped the classroom door with his mountaineering bag, and slowly calmed down in the cough, then his mouth began to mutter some vague words.

Wei Liang was also startled by such a movement. When he looked up, he saw the middle-aged exchange student. He subconsciously exclaimed "Fuck," then rubbed his eyes and patted Lin Yi beside him violently: "Lao Lin, Lao Lin, I'm going to die, the snail has become a spirit!"

"Become your sister a spirit, it's that middle-aged exchange student..." Lin Yi supported his forehead and glanced at Wei Liang helplessly.

Wei Liang quickly took a serious look, and then suddenly said: "Oh oh oh! It turned out to be that 'Mountain Man', don't you say, the more you look at it, the more it looks like it!"

The name "Mountain Man" actually comes from the GBA game Pokémon Ruby. The original translation was "Mountaineering Man", a group of middle-aged strange men who prefer to train Little Rock, Gravel Rock, and Golem. Because players can always be caught by these guys and have a match when running the map, and coupled with the pirated translation at the time, the displayed name became Yamaguchi-gumi Man, which sounds like a gangster, abbreviated as "Mountain Man".

"Pfft... you've played too much 'Pokémon', haven't you?" Lin Yi couldn't help but spit out, but stopped there, focusing his attention on this Mountain Man.

Then he found that there were some broken mud crumbs at the Mountain Man's feet.

"Did he really go mountain climbing?" Lin Yi muttered.

"If the Mountain Man doesn't climb the mountain, is he going to ski?" Wei Liang said disdainfully.

"You noticed these details from the beginning, so you reminded me that he is a 'Mountain Man'?" Lin Yi said.

Wei Liang was stunned, and then leaned back tactically: "Lao Lin, what's wrong with you, why do you always deify my behavior recently? I just said it casually."

Lin Yi curled his lips: "Okay, okay, I overestimated you."

“That's more like it.” Wei Liang emphasized, “I was even planning on sucking up to you, so you should at least get your own position right!”

Lin Yi didn't reply, but frowned inwardly.

With Wei Liang's personality, his reaction just now should definitely have been “Right? I fucking knew it all along, Heh heh heh heh heh…” and not those words…

Plus, Wei Liang had said “right under your nose” before leaving the cafeteria, and afterwards, the appearance of the convenience store did perfectly fit the description of “right under your nose”…

If everything were a coincidence, then these coincidences would be inevitable.

Since Wei Liang didn't say anything, Lin Yi wouldn't press him.

But Lin Yi already had some answers in his mind – [Liangzi, this guy, feels like a man who has cultivated petty tricks into a passive skill…]

And he also turned his attention to that Mountain Man.

After panting for breath, Mountain Man thoroughly brushed off the dirt and dust from his body, then took out a pocket watch from both his jacket and pants pockets.

After looking at the pocket watches, he looked at the pendulum clock on the wall, then frowned and muttered something, then unzipped his backpack and took out a small notebook, using the pen attached to the notebook to scribble down something that looked like data…

From these steps, Lin Yi seemed to see a reflection of himself, but he felt that Mountain Man was even more awesome, because this guy brought one more watch than he did.

Steady, he was just too steady.

Suddenly, Mountain Man noticed the words on the blackboard.

Then, just like Lin Yi at the beginning, he quickly carried his bag and another bag, and hurried to the podium.

He quickly finished reading the message on the blackboard.

Just as Lin Yi was curious about what he would do next, he saw him reach out and gently touch the words, and after his fingers were stained with “chalk dust,” he put it in front of him and rubbed it.

The newest novels are first released on 69shuba!

An interesting scene appeared: after the chalk dust was crushed, it did not fall naturally, but floated upwards and immediately dissipated into the air.

This confirmed Lin Yi's guess that these things were indeed written with the blood of pollutants, but another point that surprised him was that this Mountain Man obviously knew a lot about this kind of thing, otherwise it would be impossible to touch it directly with his hand.

Coupled with his previous calm appearance that didn't seem like an ordinary experiment participant, Lin Yi guessed that he must have been here before.

“This Mountain Man might be a veteran on his second run!” Lin Yi said softly.

Wei Liang rolled his eyes and patted his chest: “I'm also a veteran on my second run!”

“Veteran, take me with you.”

“Can't carry you, goodbye.”

[These are mostly true…] Lin Yi teased, but his eyes did not leave Mountain Man, he found that Mountain Man had another action.

He saw him take out a metal object from his pocket, then take out a piece of paper, and begin to scrape the words on the blackboard with the metal object.

When he scraped off part of a character's strokes, the paper had already accumulated a pinch of plaster powder the size of an adult's fingernail. He wrapped the paper and then directly opened the door and left the classroom.

Half a minute later, he returned to the classroom. At this time, the paper in his hand was gone, and his face was terribly solemn, as if he had encountered some terrifying attack in this half minute.

He returned to the podium, searching around, and finally, finding nothing, he walked to the side of the steps with his bags and sat down in a random seat.

After sitting down, he didn't do anything, just breathed quietly.

“He's planning to leave.” Lin Yi said softly, “It seems he used his own method to judge the credibility of the words on the blackboard.”

“Anyone who dares to leave the classroom at this time is a ruthless person.” Wei Liang said.

Li Huiyuan asked doubtfully: “How do you know he's leaving?”

“Look at him, he hasn't put down his bag after sitting down, obviously he doesn't plan to stay.” Lin Yi judged his departure based on a detail.

“But… if he leaves the classroom now, where can he go? There shouldn't be anywhere else to go outside, right?”

Mountain Man shook his head slightly: “I'm going back to the dormitory.”

“Ah?” The short-haired experiment participant was stunned, but another experiment participant who had returned to the dormitory knew the rules there and immediately raised an objection, “That's not right, the elevator in the dormitory building only opens at 9 PM, and it's not even 7:00 PM now, it's useless to rush over there, right?”

This was also Lin Yi's thought, he glanced at the time.

The pendulum clock on the wall reached the 6:50 PM position, and there were still nearly two hours before the dormitory building elevator opened at 9:00 PM. Putting aside the abnormal weather, even if it took half an hour to walk back now, he would have to wait in front of the last street lamp “Dormitory Building - 096” for nearly an hour and a half.

And once it rains, perhaps even the street lamp will not be able to provide safe shelter.

What is Mountain Man relying on to leave the classroom now?

Thanks to book friend "usjdnshhs" for the reward!!
