Rules-related weird stories: 4016

"Just like some people can focus on sports while also mastering some characteristics of the arts, there are always some exceptionally talented individuals who, while maintaining their own qualities, can master some... characteristics that ordinary people cannot achieve, right?"

"You mean..."

"I mean, the positioning and classification of 'professions' are officially defined, that's true, but it's not absolute. Even after so many years, our understanding of extraordinary power is only the tip of the iceberg. It's entirely possible for a monster to appear whose primary profession is unknown but who also works as an architect. What do you guys think?"

"This..."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding physical education teachers fell into thought.

"Oh, never mind that for now, look, it's really doing it!"

The cracks in the city wall were being repaired at a rate visible to the "naked eye." Although that small amount of repair was like a drop in the bucket for the overall cracks, being able to repair it at all was a feat!

"Incredible, truly incredible!"

"This is a breakthrough from zero to one!"

"'Zero to one'...?" The familiar words seemed to remind the boss of something. She subconsciously glanced at Lin Yi's position, and a flash of surprise crossed her narrow phoenix eyes.

Good heavens... I was almost fooled by you!

In the conventional giant egg layer perspective, Lin Yi was currently趴on the railing, as if in a daze, with no flow of aura around him.

In the unconventional city wall layer perspective, Lin Yi was currently embedded in a brick in the city wall, just like everyone else, also as if in a daze, and also with no flow of aura around him.

However, as the boss used more extraordinary power for "洞察," she discovered Lin Yi's current anomaly. At this moment, Lin Yi's body was constantly "self-producing" a golden aura. At the same time, this aura quickly "disappeared into thin air" after being produced.

His body had become a mini-sized giant egg, just like how the giant egg intervened in the gray mist, intervening in some kind of golden aura.

It was like secretly tinkering with nuclear power generation underground, and then transporting all of that energy out through unknown channels...

And the strange thing was that the boss couldn't see where Lin Yi was "stealing" the aura from in order to transform it into golden aura in his body, but she could clearly sense that the total amount of pollution inside the giant egg was disappearing at a terrifying rate.

In the past, the aura of the "feast" could never be completely consumed; it was always diluted by the air in the end. But now... this giant egg was like a bathtub with the plug pulled, the water visibly flowing away!

And this plug was Lin Yi.

This guy... the more I look at him, the more wrong he seems! The strangeness of Lin Yi was beyond the boss's comprehension, which aroused her desire to understand. So she used some unknown method, her eyes shining even brighter, and a phantom shadow of a冠狀污 appeared above her head.

At this moment, the entire city wall seemed to come alive, and an invisible aura was added to her body, causing her洞察力 to increase exponentially.

However, just as she was about to洞察 the problem with Lin Yi, another strange aura appeared from somewhere, like a gentle breeze, silently brushing past...

"呼嘞嘞嘞嘞..."

The flame of the old kerosene lamp flickered violently, and all the physical education students felt a suffocating sense of impending doom, while the boss's洞察 ability was forcibly interrupted.

"Boss, what happened?!" The physical education teachers were on high alert.

The boss lowered her eyelids slightly: "Nothing..."

She was secretly shocked. Just now... she had been反洞察ed?

Someone had discovered that she was spying on Lin Yi and then interrupted it midway?

That person... must be inside the current giant egg, but who could it be?

However, no matter who it was, it was enough to show that Lin Yi had a big problem... and that mysterious existence didn't want her to discover the problem with Lin Yi!

The boss bit her back molars, and her smooth cheeks bulged slightly.

She suddenly hoped that Lin Yi was really someone the officials had secretly sent in.

Because that would at least mean that Lin Yi was on their side. If not... then it would be a bit difficult.

So she stopped observing Lin Yi, at least, she stopped observing Lin Yi so "虎视眈眈." She looked at the团疑似 “architect” Golden light, intuition told her that even if this was not Lin Yi, it could not be separated from Lin Yi.

Should I just ask him directly when it's over? The boss had this thought in her mind, and then another thought covered this thought. That's right, why not?

Just ask directly. If there is a problem with Lin Yi, just suppress him on the spot.

Thinking of this, the boss didn't think much about anything else.

In fact, she didn't really like those roundabout things. If she could solve it with her feet, she would definitely solve it with her feet.

If one foot didn't work, then she would use both feet together.

That's why she didn't like tinkering with the drawings of the city wall in the first place.

Well... of course, that was a long, long time ago.

"It actually did it!"

Just then, a physical education teacher next to the boss's exclamation awakened her from her fragmented memories of the past.

The boss immediately looked over and saw that the异形天使 and偽人 physical education students had been completely annihilated, and all their shapes had been turned into patching material for the cracks in the city wall. The aura wandering in the air was also dissipating at a terrifying rate, and the source of everything was on Lin Yi.

As the "main course" was exhausted, some of the trainee students who had been affected by the rain also began to lose their composure. They fell out of the state of closing their eyes, tightly grasping the handrails, and silently reciting their identity information. As soon as they opened their eyes, they didn't know what they saw, and their entire bodies froze. The two eyeballs in their sockets trembled non-stop like convulsions, rolling in different directions...

Their breathing began to become abnormally heavy and rapid, and some green mist began to rise from their bodies. This was an uncontrolled manifestation after initially accepting pollution. The little genius of May 6th, Pan Jian of May 7th, Zhou Yuting of May 8th... and some other people who had problems, even Li Hui and Lin Yi at the beginning, had experienced such a process.

It was just that, because they had accepted the rain pollution from the beginning, they did not have much ability to withstand it due to their own and many complex factors. Like a person who suddenly fell into an ice cave, the temperature on their body dropped sharply.

Pollution... is the road to death.

However, neither the boss nor the physical education teachers made any attempt to intervene in this scene. It seemed that forcibly interfering with this process would not lead to a good outcome, even if they managed to salvage it.

But just as the green mist on these trial students began to become chaotic, several of them suddenly regained their senses, as if they had struggled out of the water after nearly drowning, gasping for breath, their bodies already drenched in sweat.

But more of the trial students began to sink into oblivion...

The final result was that nearly six hundred of the almost one thousand trial students became like walking corpses, barely distinguishable from the living dead.

And everyone seemed calm about this result, as if they were already used to it.

"Six hundred and seventy-eight trial students have been exposed to excessive pollution..." Teacher Wang said slowly, looking at the trial students embedded in the brick walls.

The boss said in a flat tone, "This is already much better than expected... Its existence has plundered too much pollution, otherwise, more trial students would have exceeded the pollution threshold."

"And we've done our best..." Teacher Zhang rubbed his shoulders, "The light of the kerosene lamps has weakened the pollution surrounding them as much as possible..."

"Moderate pollution is actually a tonic, but unfortunately, they opened their eyes at the last moment... Those with weak constitutions cannot handle tonics. The fault lies within themselves, and we cannot intervene."

The boss nodded, "Observe their condition carefully later. If there are any promising candidates for the physical education department, take them directly to the basement, so they won't be sent back by the homeroom teacher after going to the teaching building."

"In these troubled times, saving a few steps is a good thing."

"Yes." The teachers nodded in unison. They hated bureaucracy and messy procedures. The gymnasium always valued efficiency, and steps that could be quickly reviewed were done so directly.

For others, it might be necessary to rely on some regulations to measure things, but for them, the physical education department's perception was the yardstick.

"As for the remaining heavily polluted individuals who are not promising candidates... observe the external weather conditions. If the weather is normal, send them back to the teaching building... If they can still recognize their 'physical discomfort,' they can also leave the campus through the emergency avoidance clause in the 'Student Handbook'..."

"This is the only chance of survival we can secure for them... Whether they can seize it depends on them."

"Yes."

"Finally, select some people with strong wills and directly conscript them as guards... Having experienced the ordeal just now, they only need to maintain that state at night to cooperate with you in guarding the city walls."

"Once the situation deteriorates, in addition to the guards, the remaining teachers will lead students in the second stage and above to assist the art building..."

"The arrangements for the art building will be discussed later."

"Okay, we'll listen to you in everything."

The boss acted decisively, clearly and logically arranging the future of the trial students and the gymnasium's battle plan for today in a few words.

Just after finishing the arrangements, the boss sensed something again and looked at the golden light.

The golden light quickly dimmed, as if it had disappeared into thin air.

"It has left the city wall layer!"

"Having accomplished his task, he dusts off his clothes and departs, concealing his merit and fame!"

"Truly a role model for us!"

The physical education teachers also noticed the departure of Lin Yi's consciousness and couldn't help but sigh.

If Lin Yi heard these emotional words, his toes would be so embarrassed that he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment...

What 'dusts off his clothes and departs'? It was clearly because he couldn't go back at the beginning that the subsequent plot unfolded... Of course, putting that aside, he did have the awareness.

But the boss was now locked onto the trajectory of the golden light...

As expected, it was him... The boss narrowed her eyes.

When the golden light completely dissipated, she was the only one who noticed that Lin Yi, who had been motionless, suddenly moved, like a soup friend who had just chugged a full glass of glutinous rice lemon tea and hadn't recovered, taking a deep breath...

At this point, it seemed that she had to "interrogate" him.

The boss's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a strange light flickered in her eyes.

But even she didn't notice that not far from Lin Yi, Wei Liang stretched and yawned, his expression somewhat tired, like an early-morning warrior who had stayed up all night before the final exam to cram a semester's worth of courses.

...

On Lin Yi's side, as the layer recovered, his world quickly turned into a dazzling white light, and when these white lights completely converged—

「Boom!」

He was like riding a deep-sea express train out of the boundless darkness, returning to the "normal" world!

His body was indeed lying on the railing on the first floor of the stands, his gaze focused on the rippling water. He seemed to have been distracted just now, and everything seemed to be a fantasy he had produced after being distracted.

The only change was that all the skeletal frames of the Berserk Angels on the playground had disappeared, along with the skeletal frames of the Pseudo-human physical education students, and the 「咚, 咚, 咚」 beating of the heart.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

His chest heaved violently, as if the essence, energy, and spirit in his body had been drained. A strong sense of fatigue instantly enveloped him, causing his body to sway like a dog-tail grass in the wind. He even seemed to lack the strength to hold onto the railing.

He felt light-headed and top-heavy. After lying on the railing, he immediately experienced an uncontrollable forward-leaning trend, and the whole person really tilted out, unable to grab anything, and fell onto the playground under the railing...

「Crap!」

Lin Yi felt bad. He wasn't afraid of landing face-first. With his recovery ability, he certainly wouldn't be affected, but he was worried about whether the water surface was really just a water surface?

Would people sink directly if they fell in?

Just then, he felt someone pull his back hard, and then he changed from a forward-falling state to leaning backward, and like the brain-dead heroine in an idol drama being saved by someone, he fell into someone else's arms...

As he fell, his nostrils had already smelled that unique and familiar faint fragrance, and in his gradually hazy vision, which was somewhat blurred by the invasion of fatigue, the vague figure of the boss appeared...

"Boss...?"

He murmured dreamily, and then the feeling of fatigue wrapped around him from all directions like a tide. His heavy eyelids could no longer be controlled and drooped down, and the whole person fell into a deep sleep...
