Rules-related weird stories: 4016

“The thing about the angel, perhaps I can ask the boss… if the boss is willing to talk about it.” Lin Yi pondered secretly, after all, the gymnasium rules were the only rules on the trainee side that mentioned the “angel statue.”

Homeroom Teacher-040 glanced at the pendulum clock.

“Let’s talk about something else.”

“Have you encountered any other problems?”

Lin Yi said, “Actually, I still have a question from just now… What’s the deal with that pseudo-human symbiote? Uh, I mean… the alien sculptures, or the ‘Cemetery of the Dead,’ what’s the deal with them?”

“I don’t understand your question? What do you want to ask?”

“I want to ask, are all alien sculptures in a ‘symbiotic’ state?”

Before seeing the Cemetery of the Dead, Lin Yi used reverse cognitive contamination to sense the pseudo-humans Ge Qing and Nie Yun. At the last moment, he saw those two guys as if they were about to merge together.

He thought, could that be the origin of the pseudo-human symbiote?

So now he wants to get an answer.

Homeroom Teacher-040 said, “Not all of them, but some of them are like that.”

“Oh… okay.” Lin Yi didn’t press further.

“Is there anything else you want to ask or say? If not, then tell me why you came to me.”

“Uh… actually, I still have something to say.”

“…”

“Lin Yi!” Homeroom Teacher-040 put her hands on her hips, “I’m starting to regret opening the door for you! I really want to kick you twice!”

Lin Yi subconsciously glanced at Homeroom Teacher-040’s legs in black stockings, his gaze falling on her feet in stiletto heels…

His expression suddenly turned serious.

If Wei Liang were here, he would definitely point at Homeroom Teacher-040’s nose and blurt out, “Damn you! Why are you rewarding him?!”

He quickly said, “I’ll just say this one thing, and then I’ll get straight to the point… Ah, no, what I’m saying now is also the point, it’s just that everything has to be said one by one, right?”

“Then say it.”

“Okay, another question I have is… Did the dormitory turn upside down at night?” Lin Yi asked.

Homeroom Teacher-040’s eyes narrowed, and a flash of light burst out from the depths of her eyes.

“You don’t sleep at night?!”

“No, I was asleep!” Lin Yi quickly raised his hands in surrender, “Listen to my sophistry, no, listen to my explanation, I was actually awakened at night, and then…”

“Impossible, unless you opened your eyes, otherwise how could you judge… Hmm?! You’re trying to trick me?!” Homeroom Teacher-040 grabbed Lin Yi’s collar and pulled him in front of her.

“Ah, this, this…” Lin Yi had a feeling of being unable to defend himself, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, “It’s like this, when I sleep, I like to put my feet on the edge of the bed, so… when I felt uncomfortable, I woke up!”

“Then I felt like the bed was turning, and not the kind of shaking like a normal rocking bed, but the kind that turned a full 180 degrees…”

“I didn’t believe it at first, but I touched the edge of the bed again and confirmed that it really turned over…”

“If it turned over, you didn’t fall to the floor?” Homeroom Teacher-040 retorted.

“It’s not just the bed that turned over, it’s the dormitory that turned over. My bed didn’t change, it’s just that kind of flip!” Lin Yi gesticulated as he spoke, “It’s like a bottle, my bed is hanging in the middle, gravity is always downwards, but everything around it has turned over, like…”

As he said this, Lin Yi suddenly froze.

“Like, like…”

A dazzling white light flashed through his mind, tearing the surrounding darkness into countless fragments.

In the shattered darkness, the figure of the Grinning Angel became clearer and clearer, but Lin Yi’s focus was not on the Grinning Angel, but on the…

“Hourglass!”

“The dormitory… is like an hourglass, turned upside down!”

Lin Yi’s eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself as if no one else was there: “The dormitory is like an hourglass… it will completely turn off the lights after 0:00, and after the lights are turned off, it will start to turn upside down…”

It was as if some inspiration had been triggered again, and countless images flashed through his mind in an instant, but these images were too fast, like flashing silhouettes, and he couldn’t capture anything at all.

“Could there be some connection here…?!

“But if that’s the case, what is the relationship between the Grinning Angel and the dormitory?”

He grabbed his hair, looking as distressed as a student struggling with a difficult problem.

Homeroom Teacher-040’s expression became serious. When Lin Yi slumped heavily on the sofa out of exhaustion and exhaled a heavy breath, she softly asked, “Lin Yi, how do you know about the Grinning Angel?”

“The Grinning Angel…” Lin Yi gasped, “Did I… mention it just now?”

Homeroom Teacher-040 said in a deep voice, “You mentioned a Grinning Angel holding an hourglass. Have you seen it?”

“Impossible…”

“How could a trainee encounter it…”

“I…” This time Lin Yi really couldn’t explain it, but he didn’t speak, because he didn’t know how to explain it. Perhaps… could he say this?

“I seem to have dreamed of it.”

Yes, that was the truth.

A selective truth.

The things he experienced in his dreams were his biggest secrets, and he would never reveal them.

“Dreamed of the Grinning Angel…” Homeroom Teacher-040 rubbed her brow, “There has never been such a situation in previous records, it must be recorded…”

She quickly walked to the desk and opened the drawer to rummage around. At this moment, Lin Yi’s eyes saw the green envelope under the cluttered files in the drawer.

“Wait, what?!”

“A green envelope… ?!”

He rubbed his eyes hard and looked again. The green envelope turned into a blue envelope.

“Huh?” He looked at it again and then found that the envelope… seemed to have no color, no, was it white?

Just as he was about to take a closer look, Homeroom Teacher-040 pulled out a notebook from inside and closed the drawer.

She quickly recorded something in the notebook, then looked at Lin Yi, her eyes showing a hint of realization: “This can explain it…”

“Explain what?”

“Explain what kind of thing you’ve provoked.”

“I… Did I provoke the Grinning Angel?”

“It’s not really provoking… but this situation is the first time it’s happened, so I can’t say for sure.” Homeroom Teacher-040 said, “It’s never been said what will happen if you dream of the Grinning Angel, wait, how do you know it’s called the Grinning Angel?”

“Damn!” Lin Yi’s scalp went numb, thinking, are you too observant?!

But he still blurted out with a sudden inspiration, “I saw a strange smile on its face, so I named it that. Is that really what it’s called?”

“Oh… is that so.” With the naming of the “Heretical Choir” before, Homeroom Teacher-040 immediately believed Lin Yi’s words.

Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, 'That was too difficult, too difficult. I almost had my pants pulled down before I could even get a little extra information out of Head Teacher -040...'

"No matter what, go to the gymnasium. They have ways to help you eliminate the mark," Head Teacher -040 said. "As for the dormitory... if you're okay, it means nothing happened there either."

"But I think I heard... the sound of rushing water in the bathroom!"

"Someone taking a shower, isn't that normal?"

"Teacher... if this is happening in the wee hours of the morning when I woke up, is it still normal?"

"..."

Head Teacher -040 was silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "Is there... anything else happening?"

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Lin Yi had already thought it through, and nodded upon hearing this, continuing, "After I woke up, I felt something crawl onto my bed..."

"What kind of thing was it?"

"Soft and limp, a bit like silicone putty? Or that kind of elastic rubber? Through the blanket, I'm not really sure what it was... but when I woke up in the morning, everything in the dormitory was normal, there were no traces of anything."

"Okay, I understand."

"Uh, Teacher, don't you have anything to say?"

"No, what else can I say?" Head Teacher -040 paused, then walked up to Lin Yi, patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and said with a helpless expression, "You rascal, you're covered in flags, and it's already good that you're still so lively."

"I'll say it again, if anything happens, wait until you make it to the gymnasium before you say anything. Maybe some of the sports students will give you answers, like... you seem to have a good relationship with Xu Shunkang, you can ask him, and see if he'll tell you."

Seeing that Head Teacher -040 seemed reluctant to talk about the dormitory, Lin Yi knew that he probably wouldn't be able to pry her mouth open, so he said, "Then why don't I take advantage of the good sunshine now and go straight to the gymnasium?"

Lin Yi's words stunned Head Teacher -040 for a moment, and then she asked back, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"There's something wrong with the cafeteria... I don't feel very safe eating there," Lin Yi shrugged and said frankly, "Besides, I bought a bread and a roll of biscuits, it should be enough to fill my stomach, right?"

"You even know there's something wrong with the cafeteria...?" Head Teacher -040 felt that Lin Yi was really a little darling, full of "surprises."

"The cafeteria only opened the three middle food purchase windows this morning, and the chef's eyes were also very strange, it was obvious there was a problem..." Lin Yi said.

"Alright," Head Teacher -040 said, "But from a timing perspective, noon is the safest time. Even if you skip dinner, I don't recommend you skip lunch. You should still eat lunch before going directly to the gymnasium."

"Okay then," Lin Yi nodded.

"Alright, we can talk about serious matters now. What did you want to see me about?"

Lin Yi thought to himself, 'Sister, those things just now were also very important, okay...'

He reached into his pocket, fumbled around for a while, and took out a piece of paper. He opened it to confirm, and then handed the paper to the head teacher: "I got this piece of paper in the locker in the dormitory. It seems to have been left by a previous batch of residents in the dormitory."

"The information on the paper... I'm not interpreting it very smoothly. It may have been written in an unstable mental state, and there may be deceptive information. The truthfulness is questionable."

"The most important point is that, according to the paper's 'owner's' own account, he who wrote the paper... is called 'Song Rentou', and his student ID is 'X0230402017' ..."

Head Teacher -040 quickly took the paper and started reading it.

"The name Song Rentou is very uncommon. I feel like a normal person wouldn't take this name, right? Moreover, if I remember correctly, one of my classmates... is currently named Song Rentou."

Head Teacher -040 returned to her desk, opened the blue folder, and then flipped through the list with a "whoosh" sound.

"April... Song Rentou..."

"Found it!"

Lin Yi quickly stretched his neck and leaned over.

The head teacher slammed it shut with a "smack."

"What are you doing?"

"I want to take a look!"

"You can't look."

Lin Yi seemed to be possessed by a Russian, and suddenly blurted out, "Oh, Teacher, don't mess around, just let me take a look!"

"What did you say?!" Head Teacher -040's eyebrows furrowed.

"Cough..." Lin Yi cursed inwardly. After being immersed in the Russian persona all night, he had inadvertently mastered a bit of their passive "blurt-out" ability. It was really annoying. He quickly said, "Teacher, I'm also a little curious, and besides, this was last month's matter. It shouldn't matter if I take a look now, right?"

"Besides, this Song Rentou seems to have some opinions about me... I feel like I might be dealing with him next, and I really want to know if the 'Song Rentou' in our class now is the same 'Song Rentou' who left the paper."

"Just based on a sign-in sheet?" Head Teacher -040 glanced at him.

Lin Yi said, "Even if it doesn't work, it's good to have some information, right? And I don't know why, but I always feel that this Song Rentou in our class... has a very dangerous vibe."

"Alright, better safe than sorry." Head Teacher -040 opened the folder and flipped to Song Rentou's page for April.

"Sure enough, there are some problems!"

Song Rentou's name did not have "〇" and "/" . He signed in for a total of 7 days. The sign-in records for the first four days were all "√", but from the fifth day until the morning sign-in on the sixth day, they were all "×". The sixth day evening and the seventh day morning were normal "√".

"Why isn't there anything here?" Lin Yi pointed to the blank space on the seventh day evening.

Head Teacher -040 said, "This means he left the campus... Look here."

At the end of Song Rentou's sign-in sheet, there was also a "√", but this "√" was outside the table. According to Head Teacher -040, it was a mark indicating that he had left the campus.

"Could it be that something happened during these one and a half days?" Lin Yi muttered.

Head Teacher -040 shook her head slightly: "Let me finish reading the paper first."

"Uh, okay... Eh, Teacher, are you planning to discuss it with me?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

Head Teacher -040 gave him a deep look: "You wish. I can solve it myself."

"Okay..." Lin Yi spread his hands, "Teacher, then you can study it slowly. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

"Go, go." Head Teacher -040 waved her hand dismissively.

Lin Yi shrank his neck and silently exited the teacher's office.

"Hey." Just as Lin Yi reached out to touch the doorknob, Head Teacher -040 stopped Lin Yi.
