Rules-related weird stories: 4016

He seemed lost in thought, his mind heavy with worries, and he put on the last few pieces of clothing almost unconsciously.

Seeing that Lin Yi had changed into his school uniform, Li Huiyuan walked over from behind the bookshelf and asked with great concern, "Are you okay?"

She had sensed Lin Yi's abnormality just now, but that strange feeling only appeared for a moment, seemingly when it got dark outside the classroom. Once the light returned, Lin Yi quickly recovered.

It was like an untimely cloud had drifted by, momentarily obscuring the light around Lin Yi.

"I'm fine now," Lin Yi shook his head.

Li Huiyuan was still clearly worried and couldn't help but say, "If you really encounter any problems, you must tell me and Boss! We will definitely help you."

Lin Yi felt a warmth in his heart, ruffled Li Huiyuan's hair, and smiled, "Thank you, I know."

"How about... you come to the gymnasium with me this afternoon? Let Boss give you some more training?" Li Huiyuan suggested.

Lin Yi's heart stirred, feeling somewhat tempted.

This seemed like a good suggestion! Especially regarding the 'Ashen Apostle' matter, Boss would definitely know!

Lin Yi nodded, "What you said is not bad. The previous teacher also told me that if anything happened, I could go to the gymnasium..."

"That's great, let's go find Boss this afternoon!" Li Huiyuan immediately became excited.

But Lin Yi suddenly calmed down again, "Wait a minute... I'll meet up with Tian Gongzi and the others at noon first... If nothing unexpected happens, we'll go to the gymnasium, how about that?"

"Well... okay..." Li Huiyuan was visibly reluctant about this change of plans, her small mouth pouting, but after a few pouts, she recovered, "I'll listen to you!"

"Thank you!" Lin Yi wanted to touch her head again.

But this time Li Huiyuan dodged.

"Temporary change of heart, I won't let you touch me!" she said angrily.

"Hey..." Lin Yi sighed, and instead of lowering his raised hand, he pretended Li Huiyuan was still there and patted the air.

"Are you having a mental breakdown..." Li Huiyuan was rendered speechless. She left those words behind and walked out of the bookshelf area.

"Li Huiyuan, wait for me! Don't go yet!" Lin Yi called out. Seeing that it was no use, he resorted to his ultimate move, "Huihuizi! Huihuizi, don't go!"

Li Huiyuan indeed stopped, put her hands on her hips, and walked back, saying with feigned anger, "Speak, what do you want me to help you with again?"

Lin Yi chuckled, "When I'm picking books later, keep an eye on me."

"Just that simple?" Li Huiyuan asked suspiciously.

"Just that simple, I'm afraid of encountering unstable layers..." Li Huiyuan was no longer a naive and ignorant trainee, so there was no need to be too cautious when communicating.

Li Huiyuan nodded, "Alright... go pick... Wait, are you picking H-manga?"

"Uh... yeah, is there a problem?"

Li Huiyuan's expression was very strange, with a hint of disdain, "H-manga... makes your layers unstable? Is your immersion that... deep?"

Hiss... Lin Yi gasped, "No... this is a bit difficult to explain. If you read them too, maybe you'll have a day to see through it..."

"I...!" Li Huiyuan suddenly became angry, "Good, you Lin Yi, you read them and you're trying to trick the youthful and ignorant Huihuizi into the yellow..."

She stopped being angry here, her watery eyes rolling around, her eyes full of cunning, "Are you inviting me to watch together...?"

"I..."

"Then I'll reluctantly agree!" Li Huiyuan agreed with a smile, hopping and skipping to Lin Yi's side, taking Lin Yi's hand, "Let's go, let's go... pick books!"

"Ah--no..." It was Lin Yi's turn to be passive, "It's not like what you think..."

Alas!

Forget it!

I am a righteous gentleman, with a life of integrity, what is there to be afraid of?

Pick books!

Steadying his mind, Lin Yi led Li Huiyuan through the bookshelf area, but still did not forget to instruct, "Your main task is to keep an eye on me, like that day in the corridor. If I have any problems, wake me up immediately!"

Having experienced the situation just now, he was very cautious at the moment.

The biggest crisis when building a dream is not falling into a deep dream, but falling into a deep dream without knowing it.

The lack of awareness of the crisis is the most essential danger.

"Okay..." Lin Yi's serious expression made Li Huiyuan not dare to be careless, and immediately nodded seriously.

Lin Yi walked along, casually scanning the H-manga on the bookshelf, occasionally picking one off and flipping through it.

After he finished flipping through the book and put it back, Li Huiyuan carefully looked at the cover of the book.

Unfortunately, the covers of the books were all very proper. If you didn't know, you would think they were some pure romance shoujo manga.

Suddenly, Lin Yi keenly captured a trace of aura...

He suddenly looked at a book on a certain bookshelf.

Intuition told him that there was a book that had to be picked.

Following this intuition, he approached the bookshelf, and his gaze finally fell on a book that looked a bit old.

《Super Fierce Battle! The Secret Awakening of Magical Girls!》

If you didn't look at the prefix, you would think it was some kind of Bala La Little Magic Fairy-like magical girl battle manga.

Lin Yi picked up this book and, according to the previous reading method, began to collect information from the book...

He didn't know until he collected it, but once he collected it, he was really shocked by the information in it.

"May 10, X023, the invasion has weakened, it should be daytime, but the art building is still a long night."

"The students have all returned to the art classroom, and the teachers have also come to class... but Xian Ge is missing, and there is still no news."

"Last night, after Xian Ge explained the defense mission, he went to the clock tower alone, but he has not returned until now. I feel very uneasy and worried that something happened to him..."

"The teacher went to ask the night watchman, but the night watchman did not speak..."

"The night watchman always doesn't speak, or says some languages we don't understand, and the teacher can't fully understand... I hope Xian Ge is okay."

"Other situations... More than a hundred students were killed or injured, and statistics have not yet come out..."

The content of the information was not as concise as before. It was a long piece of information, like a diary. The most shocking thing for Lin Yi was not the follow-up of the event, but the time.

Through this information, he probably knew that Mu Daxian should still be at the clock tower after being rescued, and maybe he was still unconscious and hadn't woken up.

However, the time of this piece of information is very strange.

"May 10, X023", this time point represents the moment when this information appeared in the manga, which is today.

And this is where the problem lies.

Lin Yi's brows gradually furrowed.

Known:

The classroom doors will be locked after 21:00, and from 21:00 onwards, all "people" entering the classroom must remain inside until 7:40 the following morning before they can leave.

[Clue 2]:

Judging from the timeliness of the information, the message in the book was clearly left by someone in the art building on the evening of May 9th.

Latest ⊥ Novel ⊥ On ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ Book ⊥ Bar ⊥ First ⊥ Published!

However, [Clue 1] and [Clue 2] contradict each other and can mutually undermine each other's rationality.

Because, if Clue 2 holds true, then the person returning from the art building must still be in the classroom and, logically, should be called upon for roll call.

"Wait a minute!"

A figure flashed through Lin Yi's mind – the person who left the classroom at the very beginning!

"Could it be him?"

"That's not right…"

If it were him, it would mean he had the ability to open and close doors independently, so there's no need to wait for the homeroom teacher -040 to open the door before escaping!

Could it be a coincidence?

That person came back from the art building, then followed Shan Nan into the classroom, and finally stayed until 7:40, preparing to leave, coincidentally encountering homeroom teacher -040 opening the door?

A series of coincidences, is it really a coincidence?

If that's really the case, then what is he running from?

The many suspicious points in the details led Lin Yi to put this guess aside.

He held the H manga in his hand and continued to browse.

But he hadn't taken a few steps when he suddenly felt that the H manga in his hand seemed to have undergone some strange changes, becoming somewhat different from before.

So he reopened this "Super Fierce Battle! Secret Awakening of Magical Girl!", and was shocked to discover that the information left in the book had actually increased…

“Other situations… Over a hundred student casualties, statistics are not yet available…”

“…Why… The invasion hasn't ended even now…”

Lin Yi was very clear that the information in each H manga was very fragmented, as if the pages couldn't fully contain the information, but he was sure that he had read all the information recorded in the book just now.

But now there was new information added, as if an invisible person was still editing the information in the book!

Damn, is it a ghost?!

Lin Yi shuddered suddenly, feeling a chill down his spine, almost dropping the book.

Moreover, he felt very strange because, based on his previous understanding and knowledge of the residual information in the H manga, the information in the books was very fragmented, and it was impossible to write so much like this time.

"Could it be…" A flash of inspiration struck Lin Yi's mind, "Could it be that the pages really can't hold this information, so… this information left in the book will disappear over time, like traces written in yellow sand on the Gobi Desert, which are smoothed out by a gust of wind?"

"So… only scattered text information remained on those previous books. It wasn't that I couldn't decipher more information, but that the information disappeared over time!"

"And this time, because the information was just 'written in', the amount of information is still very complete!"

Case solved!

If the information in this book is less than it is now the next time he comes, then it means his deduction is correct.

But at the same time, this extra sentence of information completely negated his previous guess.

The information in the book has nothing to do with the extra "person" in the classroom!

That guy's origins are still suspicious.

However, after excluding a wrong option, this question has become even more confusing. It's impossible for there to be a ghost. The thing writing the information calls Mu Daxian "Brother Xian" and the art teacher "Teacher," so it's 100% an art student.

Since it's a living, breathing person, then how to explain the addition of information?

Lin Yi couldn't figure it out at all, holding the book and pondering hard.

Li Huiyuan, seeing Lin Yi like this, wanted to shake him awake, but she didn't sense anything unusual about him, so she didn't act, just watching him with worry and concern.

On the other hand, Wei Liang seemed to be getting a little impatient, hollering over from the lecture hall: "Old Lin, did you get the book or not? You brat, you're not doing something in there, are you? Hey, hey, hey… Hui Hui, did you hear me? Is Old Lin okay? Not asleep, is he?"

He asked so subtly, almost asking if you two were taking advantage of the time to change clothes to fool around. Those films have high artistic merit, it's good to appreciate them, but you can't imitate them in reality.

But these words, when they reached Lin Yi's ears, were keenly captured by him – the word [asleep?]

"'Asleep'…?!" A faint glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. After these few days, he had already become accustomed to deifying some of Wei Liang's actions, so he would guess whether there was any ambiguity or implication in every sentence Wei Liang said…

And this time…

"Picking, picking! I got a good treasure! Don't be anxious!" Lin Yi shouted back, but his face was extremely solemn.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Li Huiyuan.

Li Huiyuan was startled by his serious expression, her heart skipped a beat for no reason.

"No!" Almost out of her intuition, Li Yiuan interrupted before Lin Yi could speak, "I don't know what you want to do, but I won't allow it!"

"This…" Lin Yi opened his mouth, and said somewhat helplessly, "I haven't even opened my mouth yet…"

"No means no!" Li Huiyuan frowned tightly, the worry in her eyes overflowing like a pool of water, "You clearly haven't dropped the layer, what do you want to do now? Actively drop the layer?"

Lin Yi pursed his lips, then comforted: "Don't worry, I just guessed something and wanted to verify it, nothing will happen."

"I can see the flags all over your back!" Li Huiyuan said anxiously, "You must not mess around, Lin Yi!"

"I really didn't mess around." Lin Yi put down the book, then held Li Huiyuan's shoulders, and said with incomparable firmness, "I want to actively start a 'Dream Building' once. You have studied Mysticism Genealogy, you should know what this represents."

"Dream… Dream Building?" Li Huiyuan said, "That's not right, you are clearly that retro architecture thing! It has nothing to do with Dream Building, don't lie to me!"

Lin Yi said solemnly: "Actually, architecture and Dream Building have some things in common, it's too complicated to explain to you, anyway, can you believe me? Like this, you hold my hand, if you feel something is wrong with me, you wake me up, that should be okay, right?"

"Like this… It's not impossible." Li Huiyuan agreed somewhat reluctantly.
