Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Wei Liang's words were more chilling than the air drifting from the stairwell, and Lin Yi found his hands trembling even more violently.

"Old Lin, the teaching building rules state that the teaching building has only four floors, no basement, and no more floors..."

Wei Liang grabbed Lin Yi's hand, shaking his head to signal him not to enter the stairwell, his eyes full of pleading and fear.

Lin Yi hesitated, but the image of the teaching building he had just seen simultaneously surfaced in his mind; the number of visible floors was more than seven!

「The teaching building only has four floors? But I clearly saw at least seven?」

Lin Yi was puzzled, and he looked again at the entrance to the stairwell in front of him.

Behind this isolation fire door seemed to be another world, the dim light guiding the way to hell, the dark tunnel echoing with intermittent wind, like a call from another world.

Just as he was hesitating about whether the stairwell existed and how many floors the teaching building should have, a feeling of weariness and weakness quietly rose from his heart.

He didn't initially realize the abnormality, but soon he discovered that the stairwell seemed to be distorted by some force, and the ground beneath his feet also began to show some irregular distortions...

He seemed to be hallucinating, something was impacting his perception of the teaching building.

This indescribable sense of horror was gradually distorting his will and perception, seemingly about to devour him.

At the critical moment, a hand rested on his shoulder, and Tian Bufan's firm voice rang in his ear: "The stairwell is real."

This sentence settled the matter, shattering his hesitation.

Lin Yi supported his forehead with his hand, took several deep breaths, and the feeling of weakness and fatigue in his heart gradually dissipated, and the distorted teaching building seemed to return to normal.

The previous scene seemed like an absurd hallucination.

"Obeying the rules and understanding the rules is what a qualified player should do."

Tian Bufan stroked his nose, looking at the abyss-like stairwell entrance, and said, "First, we can be sure that this campus is very abnormal."

"Secondly, judging from the series of events from entering the school until now, abiding by the student rules, or rather, abiding by the part of the rules that should be obeyed, is the key to ensuring our own safety in this survival game."

Tian Bufan glanced at Wei Liang.

"Now it seems that in addition to the student rules, there are more rules..."

"How interesting! It's getting more and more interesting!"

"How about it, want to go together?" Tian Bufan looked at Lin Yi, a hint of excitement flowing in his calm eyes.

Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang, gently placing his hand on Wei Liang's arm.

"Liangzi, the most important thing now is to get a student ID, otherwise we can't even meet the prerequisite for following the rules."

A look of pain appeared on Wei Liang's face, his gaze moving back and forth between Lin Yi and the stairwell, his eyes full of struggle.

In the end, he helplessly shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Hey... Although I've been here once, it seems I have no other choice but to cling to your coattails!"

With that, he closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions a bit, tried to calm himself down, and then said, "Let's go."

Seeing this, Tian Bufan nodded and took the lead into the stairwell.

Lin Yi glanced at the watch on his wrist.

19:45.

After silently noting the time in his heart, he followed Tian Bufan's steps.

The others followed closely behind.

...

May 6, X023, 19:47.

Teaching building, in the stairwell leading to the first basement floor.

It had been two minutes since they started going downstairs, but Lin Yi still hadn't seen the exit of the stairs.

He looked back at the steps he had passed, and then looked at the stairs below him, the spiral steps in his vision like a Fibonacci sequence diagram, and they were just a tiny point in the sequence.

It was clearly just a narrow stairwell, but after Lin Yi walked for a while, he found that the stairwell gradually became wider, with a strange illusion of the world being stretched.

After walking for another period of time, Tian Bufan suddenly stopped, as if deep in thought, and then asked, "What time is it?"

Lin Yi glanced at his watch: "19:52."

"What about when we came in?"

"19:45."

"Almost ten minutes and we still can't get to a basement floor?" Tian Bufan frowned, "Shouldn't be, right?"

"You mean... something went wrong somewhere?"

Tian Bufan shook his head.

"No, there's no problem, but that's the biggest problem."

"You're saying the same thing as saying nothing!" Wei Shan looked a little annoyed, "I just want to know what we can do to leave this place?"

Kuai Hongji crossed his arms in front of his chest, slowly descending the stairs, and said in a sinister tone: "I don't care, it's quite cool here."

Wei Shan glared at Kuai Hongji, sarcastically saying: "Yinbi likes cold things, why not just bury you here!"

Kuai Hongji smiled and looked at Tian Bufan, saying: "Young Master Tian, quickly think of a way to escape, otherwise someone is going to go berserk again!"

"Ugh--" Wei Shan suddenly rushed to Kuai Hongji, grabbed his collar, and slammed him against the wall with a "thud".

Kuai Hongji's neck was constricted, his face flushed a little, but he managed to laugh with difficulty, his eyes revealing a blatant provocation: "No strength at all, didn't you eat?"

"Stop it!" Lin Yi walked over, grabbed Wei Shan's hand and pulled it away, while patting Kuai Hongji's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "If you have anything to say, wait until we leave here!"

Kuai Hongji tilted his neck and glanced at Wei Shan, licking his tongue with raised eyebrows, his smile even more unrestrained: "No problem, no problem, you're the boss, you have the say! Hehe..."

"Heh!" Wei Shan sneered, shrugged his shoulders, turned his head and didn't speak.

Lin Yi said: "Young Master Tian, have you found anything?"

He asked casually, but unexpectedly received Tian Bufan's reply.

"Yes, you guys come here quickly."

Lin Yi immediately went downstairs quickly, only about a dozen steps away, he saw Tian Bufan standing in front of a blue-gray isolation fire door, with a green glowing emergency exit sign above the door, and a "B1" sign on the wall.

"Let's go, the first basement floor has arrived." Tian Bufan didn't know what he was thinking, and opened the fire door with a smile.

Yellow light poured in from outside the door, and even though it was underground, it actually contained a hint of the scent of the evening breeze.

Tian Bufan took the lead and walked out, Lin Yi said to Wei Liang: "Go!"

"Ah? Go?" Wei Liang opened his mouth wide: "This this this... there really is a basement?"

He walked into the door with suspicion, and the next moment, his eyes widened even more than lanterns.

"This... where is this?!"

Lin Yi walked into the world behind the door, and his whole person was also suddenly stunned.

They had actually returned to the original place.

The stairwell where they initially entered the basement!

Lin Yi rubbed his eyes, and looked incredulously towards the bottom of the teaching building's steps.

Outside the teaching building, the misty rain was hazy, and layers of mist piled up like mountains. In the mist, some shadows could be seen moving slowly, occasionally casting vicious glances at the teaching building.

Outside the teaching building, rows of streetlights lined up in the rain and mist, stretching from near to far, disappearing into the depths of the fog.

"How could I have returned after walking up the stairs for so long?" Lin Yi's thoughts were turbulent.

The slightly cool evening breeze carried a faint mist, blowing against Lin Yi's face in gusts.

At this moment, Tian Bufan's voice sounded in his ear: "Found it."

Lin Yi looked in the direction of the voice and saw an office that had appeared on the left side of the stairwell at some point.

A sign was stuck on the wall at the entrance of the office, with the words "Teacher's Office" written on it.

"Teacher's Office?" Upon seeing the sign, Lin Yi's first reaction was not excitement, but fear.

"What exactly is going on here?"

Before Lin Yi could think further, Tian Bufan gently knocked on the door of the teacher's office.

"Who is it?" A male voice with a hint of doubt sounded from inside the office.

"Hello, teacher, we are here to complete the admission procedures following the notice."

Tian Bufan replied.

"Click!"

The peephole on the teacher's office door was opened from the inside, and an eyeball rolled around, peering out.

The newest novels are first published on Liu-9-Shu-Ba!

"What color is the notice?" the male voice inside the door asked.

"Blue," Tian Bufan replied.

"Click..."

The door was opened from the inside, and a voice came from within.

"Come in."

After a pause, it seemed to be addressing Lin Yi and the others: "Line up, and the people behind wait half a minute before knocking."

Lin Yi immediately stopped at the entrance of the office, but a sudden curiosity arose in his heart, so he stretched his neck and looked towards the door that had not yet been closed.

However, the yellowish-orange light failed to shine into the doorway, and Lin Yi saw nothing.

"Lao Lin." Tian Bufan suddenly thought of something before entering the office, and turned back to remind him, "This office seems a bit strange... If you accidentally get separated, remember to be wary of what others say, keep your mind running, and adapt to everything as soon as possible..."

After he finished speaking, he entered the office, and then the door closed.

"What does he mean?" Lin Yi was stunned. Why did Tian Bufan's words sound like he was giving his last words?

"Keep thinking? Don't trust others easily? Who are 'others'?"

He looked down at his watch.

19:53.

He had been waiting for half a minute, and seeing that Tian Bufan had not come out of the office, he walked over to knock on the door, but he suddenly thought of something and looked at Wei Liang and the others.

"Do you guys have watches?"

Wei Liang shook his head.

"Who wears a watch these days?" Kuai Hongji snorted.

"If you don't have one, you don't have one, why so much nonsense!" Wei Shan sneered.

"Alright, alright." Seeing that Wei Shan, who had excessive yang energy, and Kuai Hongji, who exuded yin energy, were about to clash again, Lin Yi quickly separated the two, "Kuai Kuai, you go in first!"

The entire campus exuded a strange aura from head to toe. He originally thought that it would be safe to reach the teaching building, but he didn't expect that the teaching building, apart from being safer than the fog, was even more strange in other aspects.

Lin Yi looked at the time. After half a minute, he asked Wei Shan to knock on the door and enter the office, followed by Wei Liang.

Now only Mao Feiyang and he were left at the entrance of the office.

Lin Yi then said, "Maozi, you go knock on the door next, and I'll keep track of the time and bring up the rear."

Under Lin Yi's gaze, Mao Feiyang moved stiffly to the door of the teacher's office, but he hesitated to knock on the door.

Lin Yi felt that something was wrong and quickly asked, "Maozi, what's wrong?"

He gently patted Mao Feiyang's shoulder, but Mao Feiyang reflexively jumped away, then looked at him with lingering fear, his breathing a little rapid.

"Maozi?" Lin Yi tentatively asked, "Are you okay?"

Mao Feiyang swallowed a mouthful of saliva before slowly opening his mouth and saying, "Lao Lin... I, I can't see that office?"

"Ah? You can't see it?" Lin Yi pointed to the office door, "It's right here. Didn't you see Young Master Tian and the others go in?"

Mao Feiyang said with a trembling voice: "I... I just saw you talking to the wall, and then, then people crashed into the wall and disappeared!"

"I, I, I... I don't know what's going on. Can you really see the door?"

Mao Feiyang's eyes were full of fear of the unknown. Something seemed to be impacting his perception of this wall. He began to doubt whether there was really a door on the wall.

Lin Yi quietly approached Mao Feiyang, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Mao Feiyang's arm.

Mao Feiyang subconsciously wanted to pull his arm away like a frightened rabbit, but Lin Yi's grip was surprisingly strong, and he couldn't break free at all.

"Maozi, Maozi, Maozi..."

Seeing Mao Feiyang's breathing becoming more and more rapid, Lin Yi quickly leaned to his ear and roared in a low voice: "Maozi, listen to me first! Come with me and take a look first! The door is right here!"

Lin Yi grabbed Mao Feiyang's hand and reached towards the door handle.

However, just as Mao Feiyang's palm was about to touch the door handle, Mao Feiyang suddenly thought of something, and his whole body burst out with a huge force, breaking free from Lin Yi's grip in one fell swoop.

"No, no, no... Lao Lin, no, things shouldn't be like this!"

Mao Feiyang shook his head frantically.

"The notice actually wrote about this situation!"

"I should have encountered that special situation!"

"The first rule on the notice! If what I see is not the 'Teacher's Office' but other rooms, I have to go down the stairs until I encounter the Teacher's Office!"

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and also thought of this rule, so he did not continue to stop Mao Feiyang.

Mao Feiyang looked around, found the entrance to the stairwell, rushed over, and grabbed the door handle of the isolation fire door.

Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly turned to look at Lin Yi, his thin, dark face no longer had the contemptuous look, but was full of solemnity: "Lao Lin... remember to abide by the rules, I'm leaving!"

After saying that, Mao Feiyang rushed into the isolation fire door.

"Bang!"

The isolation fire door closed heavily. Although there was only the distance of a door, Lin Yi had an absurd feeling, as if he and Mao Feiyang were separated by a world.

He looked down at his watch.

20:00.

"Eight o'clock..."

Recalling the student rules, there were only two hours left before the time to return to the dormitory. If he didn't make it back in time, he would have to spend the night in the teaching building.

But the premise of spending the night was that he had to be in his classroom, so he had to complete the admission procedures.

Thinking of this, he reached out and knocked on the office door.

"Is... is it here to deliver food?" The voice at the door was no longer a male voice, but a female voice with a somewhat hurried tone.
