Rules-related weird stories: 4016

"Delivery?"

"What delivery?!"

Lin Yi was stunned for a second. After quickly thinking, he decided to follow the instructions on the notice board in the teaching building and explained his situation.

After hearing Lin Yi's words, the peephole on the office door opened with a "click," and an eyeball stuck to the peephole, peering at Lin Yi's surroundings.

When she confirmed that Lin Yi was the only one there, the peephole closed, and then the office door slowly opened. A female teacher in a black professional suit stood at the door.

Without taking a close look at the female teacher, Lin Yi's wolf-like gaze shot towards her chest at the first moment, searching for the location of her name tag like a radar.

Fortunately, it was extremely easy to find a white name tag on a black, fitted short-sleeved suit. Lin Yi locked onto the name tag at once.

The name tag looked like a pure white acrylic board with thorny vine flower edges around it. In the middle were gold-lettered words: Homeroom Teacher - B2-039.

Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The female teacher said, "Student, come in first."

For some reason, Lin Yi felt that the female teacher seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after confirming that he wasn't a delivery person.

"Eh, wait... delivery?" Just as Lin Yi stepped into the office, a scene of the security guard leading a group of chefs through the thick fog flashed through his mind.

Those chefs wearing blue aprons, holding iron chains in one hand, weren't they carrying lunch boxes in the other!

"Could it be them?"

At this moment, the female teacher's vigilant voice sounded in Lin Yi's ear: "Student? What's wrong?"

He snapped back to his senses and immediately replied, "Oh, I'm fine. Teacher, please process my admission procedures first."

There were too many strange things, but Lin Yi didn't want to waste time thinking about anything other than obtaining his student ID card at this time.

The female teacher sized Lin Yi up and down, then closed the door and nodded, "Stand there and don't move. I'll tell you if I need anything."

Lin Yi stood with his back against the office door, his eyes following the female teacher as she moved, watching her sit down at her desk and open a drawer.

Lin Yi noticed that the female teacher's drawer was messy, but in the corner, there was a neatly arranged blue envelope.

He saw her push the envelope aside and take out a form and a stack of cards from the bottom.

She neatly flicked through the cards, then stopped and pulled one out, checking both sides of it in front of her eyes. Then, she raised it up and compared it to Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi... Class 2, Group B, student ID X0230506098..."

While repeating the information on the card, she pasted the attachment on the back of the card onto the form, then her pen flew across the page, recording some information onto the form with a "shua shua shua" sound.

Normally, Lin Yi would definitely have taken a few more glances at this female teacher. After all, a young female teacher with a good figure wearing a fitted professional suit, hip-hugging skirt, black stockings, and high heels was extremely rare.

But he had encountered too many illogical and strange things along the way, and now he had no interest at all, only wanting to get his student ID card as soon as possible.

Moreover, this small office without windows made him feel very depressed. Subconsciously, there was a strong sense of discomfort impacting his senses, urging him to leave this place.

So, after taking a few glances at the female teacher's black-stockinged beautiful legs, Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and suppressed the discomfort in his heart, observing the office.

This was a private office. The space visible to the naked eye was no more than ten square meters. The small space didn't even have a window. The minimalist space exuded a depressing atmosphere, making it hard to breathe.

The office layout was extremely simple. Besides the female teacher's only desk, there was only a bookshelf, a sofa, a few potted plants, and a trash can.

At first glance, the office was very simple, and even the books on the bookshelf were arranged meticulously. But the more Lin Yi observed, the stronger the discomfort and strangeness in his heart became.

He turned to look at the wall.

An old-fashioned pendulum clock hung on the pinkish-white wall, but the pendulum was no longer moving.

The time on the clock face was stuck at 7:39.

He looked at other corners, and suddenly found some scraps of paper in a hidden corner under the female teacher's desk. Then, he also found some small paper balls that had been torn up and crumpled in the shadows of the sofa.

These paper balls were not well hidden, like toys hidden by a three-year-old child. At first glance, they were not easy to notice, but placed in the overall clean environment of the office, they seemed particularly conspicuous once someone intentionally observed them.

"On the contrary, not many paper balls were thrown into the trash can..." Lin Yi muttered to himself.

Just as Lin Yi was staring at the trash can, he suddenly noticed a simple lunch box at the bottom of the trash can.

From the appearance, this lunch box was exactly the same as the one carried by the chefs in blue aprons that he had encountered in the thick fog, but some dark red, unknown viscous substance seemed to be flowing out of the slanted edge of the lunch box.

As he stared at the trash can, the unease and discomfort in his heart began to merge, and an indescribable eerie feeling涌ed out of the trash can, like waves hitting him one after another, causing his heart to beat rapidly.

But at the same time, an extremely absurd and incomprehensible thought sprouted in his heart—

Go over there!

Go over there and pick up that lunch box!

See what that viscous substance in the lunch box is!

Just as he was about to take the first step towards the trash can, a gentle voice with a hint of coldness sounded beside him.

"That's expired food that I didn't have time to throw away. Don't mind it."

Lin Yi turned his head and suddenly found that the female teacher was already standing next to him, staring straight at his face with a faint smile on her face.

"Ah... oh, oh! Okay, Teacher," Lin Yi quickly said.

The female teacher handed the card to Lin Yi, and also gave him an extra booklet, saying, "This is your student ID card. Remember to keep it safe. If you lose it, please come to me as soon as possible."

"This booklet is the 'Teaching Building Rules'. You can slowly read it when you get to the classroom."

"Remember, for your own safety, both the student rules and the teaching building rules must be followed. At any time, if you encounter two conflicting rules, then judge for yourself based on your current identity and environment."

"Ah, oh, okay, then what should I call you, Teacher?" Lin Yi asked after taking the student ID card.

"You don't need to know what to call me. You only need to remember this name tag and uniform." The female teacher pointed to her name tag. "From now on, your homeroom teacher is not me, but the person wearing this name tag with the number 'Homeroom Teacher - B2-039'."

"And you, Lin Yi, you are not my student either. My student is the person holding the student ID card in your hand."

"So remember my words, from now on, please keep your student ID safe. You can talk to others about your student ID, but never hand it over to anyone."

"Do you understand?"

The female teacher's serious expression startled Lin Yi.

"Is this part of the 'rules'... teacher?" Lin Yi asked subconsciously.

The female teacher said, "This is not a 'rule', but my warning to you! Every homeroom teacher must protect the safety of students on campus as much as possible."

Lin Yi nodded, then pointed to the trash can, hesitating to speak, "Teacher, that trash can..."

The female teacher glanced at the trash can with a puzzled look. The light in her pupils suddenly flashed, and then her expression changed as she said, "You should leave! You should leave!"

"Okay, teacher, then I'll leave first." Lin Yi didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly walked towards a curtain deep in the office.

Behind this small office, between the desk and the bookshelf, there was a partition. The partition was covered by a curtain, and Lin Yi couldn't tell what was inside when he was observing.

But since Tian Bufan and the others who came in earlier didn't leave through the front door, they must have left from there.

However, as Lin Yi walked towards the partition, the female teacher stopped him, "Student, the door is over there."

The female teacher pointed to the office door.

Lin Yi was stunned, "Over there? What about the people who came in a little earlier than me?"

"People who came in earlier than you?" The female teacher rubbed her scalp and thought seriously for a moment before saying, "There was someone named Wei Liang who came in a little earlier than you, but he's already left."

"I only opened the door for you after he left. Didn't you meet him?"

"It's normal if you didn't meet him. He should already be in the classroom..."

Lin Yi felt a tightness in his heart.

「Only Wei Liang came in? And he's already left?」

He suddenly remembered that when Wei Liang knocked on the door, it was also a female voice behind the door. But when Tian Bufan and Wei Shan knocked, it was a male voice.

「Could it be that the same door leads to different places?」

Lin Yi felt that ever since he stepped into the campus, his understanding had been constantly subjected to various shocks and challenges.

The female teacher's voice rang out, "Memorize your student ID and copy it again, then leave."

Lin Yi did as he was told, but while copying, he took advantage of the female teacher's inattention when she turned around, quickly picked up a discarded paper ball in the corner, and put it in his pocket.

With just this one small action, Lin Yi used all the techniques he had honed through years of cheating.

Fortunately, the female teacher really didn't notice that he had stolen a paper ball.

"Okay, now open the door and leave. After you go out, don't close the door yet. Take a look at the first classroom on your right. If it corresponds to the classroom number on your student ID, go in."

"If it doesn't, come back, close the door, and go out again."

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat: 「Even the location of the classroom can change?!」

But he didn't say anything, just nodded, preparing to do as the female teacher instructed.

"Wait a moment." The female teacher stopped Lin Yi again.

Lin Yi turned around in confusion.

The female teacher asked, "What time is it now?"

Only then did Lin Yi realize that when he reached for the doorknob, the watch in his sleeve was revealed and seen by the female teacher.

So he looked down at his watch and said, "Seven thirty..."

"The pendulum clock on the wall is broken."

Lin Yi smiled awkwardly, "Eight oh five."

The female teacher waved her hand, "Go ahead."

Lin Yi quickly pushed open the door...

The environment outside the door was exactly the same as before, but the original stairwell had become the main entrance of a classroom.

The classroom door was closed, and the sign on the door read: Group B, Class 2.

"Looks like there's no mistake."

He turned around and closed the office door.

「Thud!」

When the door closed, Lin Yi felt the same feeling as when Mao Feiyang closed the stairwell door.

The feeling of the world being cut off.

It seemed that even if he knocked on the door again now, even if he could open the door, it wouldn't be the female teacher's office behind it.

This was really too strange.

Inside the office.

After Lin Yi left, the female teacher visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she lowered her eyes and muttered, "Eight oh five?"

She looked at the pendulum clock on the wall, only to see that the originally still pendulum clock was swinging in a very regular manner, and the time on the clock face was exactly—

Eight oh five.

A look of doubt appeared in the female teacher's eyes.

She rubbed her eyes, and the clock face changed back to a still seven thirty-nine.

She closed her eyes, then opened them…

The moving eight oh five.

Then again, the still seven thirty-nine… the moving eight oh five…

"Oh no! Oh no!"

A look of panic appeared in the female teacher's eyes. She rushed to the desk, opened the drawer, and looked inside.

A blue envelope and a pile of messy documents were stacked in the drawer.

The female teacher let out a long sigh of relief, and her whole body slumped back into the chair.

"Phew—"

"Thank goodness, thank goodness…"

…

The evening breeze blew, and Lin Yi thought of something, suddenly shivering.

And this thing made Lin Yi sure that Tian Bufan they entered a completely different office than him!

「I stayed in the office for a full ten minutes before coming out, but Young Master Tian and the others knocked on the door and went in only half a minute apart!」

Just as he was thinking about this question, he felt a feeling of being watched. He turned around following the feeling, only to see a thin figure in the corridor not far away.

That figure was standing in the shadows where the corridor lights didn't reach, staring straight at him, as if it would rush over and pounce on him at any moment.

Lin Yi's arms broke out in goosebumps. He quickly pushed open the door of Class 2, Group B, and entered the classroom.

As soon as he entered the classroom, someone called out to him.

"Lao Lin!"

Lin Yi's eyes lit up. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wei Liang sitting in the classroom waving at him, his face full of excitement, giving off the feeling of meeting a thigh in a foreign land.

"Come, come, come, sit here!" Wei Liang greeted excitedly.

In the classroom, gazes converged on Lin Yi. Lin Yi glanced at them quickly, then walked straight to Wei Liang's side, put down the folding chair, and sat down with a thud.

This classroom was a huge circular stepped classroom commonly seen in universities, where professors or teachers would lecture on a semicircular platform in the center of the classroom, and the students below would sit on circular chairs to listen, like an ancient Greek opera stage.

Lin Yi's heart was full of doubts. At this moment, he directly ignored the gazes of the other students in the classroom, walked straight to Wei Liang's side, put down the folding chair, and sat down with a thud.

"Lao Lin, where's your student ID?" As soon as Lin Yi sat down, Wei Liang asked.
