Rules-related weird stories: 4016

"Uh… okay, Huizi." Lin Yi knew that although Li Huiyuan had given two options that were both correct answers, the "true correct answer" was only "Huizi."

It's like when a girl says 'whatever you want' when you're in a relationship. When she says that, the standard answer is definitely not just anything.

In the vast minefield, there is often only one place that is safe.

Li Huiyuan crossed her arms in front of her chest, furious but helpless against Lin Yi.

She really couldn't do anything. Her recovery wasn't as fast as Lin Yi's, and she couldn't hit him either.

She was really frustrated and wanted to grab Lin Yi, shake him vigorously, and ask, 'Who the hell is the sports student?!'

She had transformed in vain!

Before the transformation, she was cannon fodder; after the transformation, she just turned from cannon fodder into a cannonball!

There was an improvement, but not much.

Lin Yi didn't know what Li Huiyuan was thinking, so he tried to recall the topic they had started with and asked, "I still want to know what happened after you were stopped by the head teacher yesterday. How did you become a sports student?"

"What happened in between?"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he looked at Li Huiyuan.

Li Huiyuan's angry expression dissipated a little. Hearing this, she first fell into recollection, seeming to organize the information, and then slowly said, "Yesterday, after the teacher finished calling your names and explained those things, she took me to the office…"

"The teacher told me that I had been severely contaminated. Originally, she would have taken me to the school doctor, but the situation was special, so she needed to ask someone else to take me to the school doctor…"

"The school doctor?!" A light flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. The rule in the second half of the student handbook appeared in his mind.

[Please value your physical health. If you experience discomfort such as dizziness, blurred vision, or nausea while at school, please find the dormitory administrator or head teacher before nightfall. They will take you to the infirmary, and the school doctor will take you to the school gate. After seeing the blue school bus (note: it is the blue school bus; ignore other colors), get on the bus immediately, and the driver will take you out of the school district, ending your experience.]

"Yes," Li Huiyuan said.

Lin Yi was silent. Obviously, Li Huiyuan's situation didn't meet that rule at all, otherwise she would have been taken to the school gate by the school doctor to take the blue bus.

But then again, he had never expected that the "school doctor," a point that the sports students were so secretive about… would enter his awareness in this way.

He really wanted to ask about the school doctor's situation, but he didn't dare to interrupt Li Huiyuan's narration, so he quickly said, "Keep talking, I'll listen first."

Li Huiyuan continued, "The teacher said that I probably wouldn't be able to leave the school district in a 'normal way,' but as long as I get through the most difficult stage, the rest will be smooth sailing…"

"She explained some things to me, saying that when the time came, she would have the security guard take me to the gymnasium to find the school doctor, and the school doctor would help me…"

"After that, she comforted me, saying that the problem wasn't too big for the time being, and then she let me stay in the office."

"Around 8:00 PM, someone came to knock on the door…"

"The person knocking on the door was the chef who came to deliver the meal, accompanied by a security guard."

"After the teacher spoke to the security guard, she had him take me to the gymnasium…"

Speaking of this, a look of confusion clearly appeared in Li Huiyuan's eyes.

"But, the conversation between the teacher and the chef was strange…"

"She told me to go to the gymnasium to find the school doctor, but when the chef asked if he needed to take me to the school doctor, she said no, just go to the gymnasium, and I would know when I saw the PE teacher."

"This is the opposite of what she told me."

"But the fact is, the security guard took me to the gymnasium, and then the PE teacher sent me to see the school doctor… I clearly saw the school doctor, but I don't know why she lied to the chef."

"I still don't understand it."

She looked a little confused and paused unconsciously.

"No, she didn't actually deceive the chef," Lin Yi said, expressing his opinion. "At least cognitively, she didn't deceive him."

"The head teacher told the chef that he was taking you to the gymnasium to see the PE teacher, and she wasn't wrong."

"But she wasn't wrong when she told you that you did go to the gymnasium to see the school doctor."

"She just… stated 'part of the truth,' and perhaps this approach is… to accommodate the 'chef's' cognition?"

"Could it be… that in the chef's cognition, the school doctor is not in the gymnasium?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but ponder, but he quickly shook his head. This wasn't what he was thinking about now, so he returned to the topic and said, "Huizi, please continue."

Li Huiyuan said, "After the teacher handed me over to the security guard, the security guard didn't take me directly to the gymnasium. Instead, he very coldly told me to grab the iron chain behind his waist and said that no matter what happened, I just needed to hold on to the iron chain, and he would call me when we got to the gymnasium."

"Speaking of which, that was a strange experience that's hard to describe…"

"When the security guard spoke to me, I had a feeling that I uncontrollably wanted to follow orders, as if what he said was a 'command' that directly bypassed my control over my body and was issued to my body."

"From that time until I arrived at the gymnasium, I was in a state where my body was manipulated, but I still had conscious awareness, like… my soul was sealed into a puppet, and my body was the puppet itself."

"The security guard waited with me in the dark for a while, and when he started moving, I realized that I wasn't the only one holding the chain. There were many chefs who seemed to be delivering meals to other offices…"

"I followed the security guard, walking and walking. He went up the stairs from our class's side and walked all the way to the fourth floor."

"Oh, right, Lin Yi… your feeling was right. The teaching building has more than 4 floors. I saw a 5th floor, but I don't know exactly how many floors there are, because the security guard didn't go up…"

"But, when the security guard approached, all the night walkers in the stairwell fled. Those who couldn't escape were all burned to ashes…"

"So I took a look at the world above the stairs…"

"The stairwell seemed to be a long-abandoned teaching building, because I saw dusty books scattered in the corners, as well as some tattered newspapers, etc. They were scattered and blown around like wind…"

"I only looked for a short while and couldn't see more than the stairwell…"

"Then, we went to Building C through the corridor bridge. That's when I realized that all the chefs grabbed his chain like they were being 'recycled,' and then joined the moving team…"

"He should have come from Building A, and after finishing Building B, he went to Building C…"

After he finished walking around Building C, he actually headed further back... It was that bridge we explored during the day, I don't know if you remember it?

Lin Yi nodded.

There's a bridge between Building B and Building C, but from Building C into the non-existent air, there's another section of bridge...

I saw the security guard holding that very old kerosene lamp, like burning a hole in a piece of paper, opening a somewhat illusory gap in the wall...

He led us through that gap and onto that bridge. I'm sure I'm not mistaken, the place the bridge leads to should be Building D of the teaching building...

That bridge was very dilapidated, not like the architectural style of the teaching building at all. It was more like a stone slab bridge, with a bit of Western architectural influence...

The stones on the bridge were covered with chisel marks, and all around was fog. I couldn't see anything clearly...

You definitely can't imagine what Building D of the teaching building is at the end of the bridge...

It's the library.

Building D of the teaching building is actually the library on campus.

It's a building that looks a lot like a castle, very tall, like those buildings in Western movies built on very steep cliffs,

The library seems to have a clock tower on top. Overall, it looks very magical, not like our Chinese architecture...

I saw a sign at the entrance of the library... very similar to the notice boards in front of the cafeteria and the gymnasium. It was a somewhat rusty, old sign, with carved floral patterns around the edges...

I didn't have time to observe carefully, because I still couldn't control my body...

I saw the words 'Library Notice Board' written on the sign, and vaguely saw some content, like 'Accidentally arrived in front of the library', 'Do not attempt to return to the teaching building', 'What's behind you is not the way back', and things like that...

I followed the security guard all the way forward. After entering the library, I saw a very old bookshelf filled with booklets like 'Library Rules'...

The security guard didn't go deep into the library, but led us through a certain corridor as if passing by.

I observed the interior of the library. It's very similar to the interior of a magical castle in a movie... mostly wooden frames... Oh, right, there are no incandescent lights in the library, but there are many candlesticks, but the light from the candlesticks isn't very bright...

I saw some people wearing green school uniforms in the library. Their uniforms looked like robes. Overall, it really felt like a magical castle...

The security guard passed by what looked like the front desk in the library. There was someone at the front desk who looked a bit older than us, but very thin...

The security guard said something to that person and then led us away...

The place where the front desk was located was very much like a hall, also the only area I could observe besides the corridors...

I saw very dense staircases in the library, crisscrossing like spider webs. The walls around the hall were full of bookshelves. Some bookshelves were very high, and it seemed like you'd have to climb those stairs for a long time to reach them...

There were many people going up and down the stairs, mostly people wearing green school uniforms, and some people who looked like us experience students wearing their own clothes... There were also some athletes, but the number seemed small...

There seemed to be teachers too... but I couldn't tell what kind of teachers...

The people in the library were very mixed, but they all seemed to be afraid of the security guard. When the security guard appeared with us, they all walked far away...

I could feel that some people were peeking at the security guard... possibly peeking at us...

I'm not sure...

When the security guard led us away, I don't know which door we went through, but it was like walking into the castle's back garden or something...

After walking out of the castle's archway, there was a stone-paved road, with stone pillars on both sides, and sparse shrubs on both sides...

Besides that, it was all fog all around. There was moonlight in the sky, but it was very dim. The clouds were very thick, like a quilt covering the castle...

We kept walking on the stone road. I don't know how long we walked before the stone road turned into a cobblestone road... The fog was very thick around us, and the trees were very dense...

After walking for a while, I saw some pillars around. Later, I realized that they were probably some abandoned street lamp poles...

After another period of time... when I walked out of that section of road, I found that I had appeared on campus. I could see the teaching building, and I could also see some shadows of the castle. It was in the location of the non-existent Building D of the teaching building... very blurry, but there were some outlines...

Then, the security guard led me to the gymnasium...

When he arrived at the gymnasium, the physical education teacher appeared...

The physical education teacher I met was a very tall man, the burly type. He was wearing the same blue and white sportswear described on the gymnasium notice board, and his voice was very rough and deep...

The security guard said something to the physical education teacher, and the physical education teacher took the chain from his waist, and then led us along the edge of the gymnasium to a staircase...

That staircase seemed to lead to the basement of the gymnasium. There was a lock ring at the edge of the staircase. The teacher locked the chain on it, and then threw several of the cooks down the stairs...

When those cooks were thrown down, I realized that their aprons were actually green...

Then the physical education teacher unlocked the chain and returned it to the security guard, and then took me into the gymnasium...

When the physical education teacher untied me from the chain, I felt like I had regained control of my body...

After entering the gymnasium, the teacher took me into the physical education office...

The gymnasium office...

Li Huiyuan shuddered, "The physical education office is so scary... the walls inside are all blood red, and the wall powder doesn't seem to be dry, like flowing, viscous blood..."

The floor of the office was covered with carpet, but it felt like large pieces of pork were piled together to form it...

I saw several other physical education teachers... They were wearing blue and white sportswear, but they had burlap sacks over their heads, and were tied to the walls with thick chains. Blood-red steam kept coming out of their bodies and the sacks, like blood being evaporated...
