【Volume 1 "Classmates"】

"In mid-May of X999, a group of hikers accidentally entered a village while trekking through the mountains on the outskirts of City S.

According to the people involved, the furniture in the village was neat and intact, quilts and clothes were drying in the fields, and crops such as edamame were spread out, but there was no one there.

The people involved felt that something was wrong and prepared to leave, but the sun had already set, and night was about to fall. After discussion, they decided to set up tents outside the village and spend the night by the moonlight before leaving.

That night, figures suddenly appeared in the originally deserted village. Through the gaps in the tents, the people involved saw many stiff figures appearing in the village by the dim moonlight, and they were immediately scared out of their wits.

However, those villagers did not walk far out of the village, so the hikers escaped unharmed.

When dawn broke, the people involved quickly packed up their things and fled the mountains, only to find that some lifelike human sculptures had appeared on the original mountain road.

After the people involved left, they reported the incident to the police, but the official investigation yielded no results.

In early June of X999, the suburbs of City S were completely closed off due to official land planning…

Chapter 1: Student Regulations

May 6, X023.

On Mountain Road No. 103, a blue bus was driving slowly in the light rain.

After entering the deep mountains, the fog gradually thickened. The blue bus turned on its headlights, and two beams of yellow light probed out, struggling to break through the fog.

"Clunk… clunk…"

The blue bus ran over a pothole in the mountain road, and Lin Yi, who was dozing off in the back row of the bus, was jolted awake.

He scratched his somewhat messy hair, rubbed his eyes, and glanced at his watch.

17:13.

Lin Yi breathed on the car window, wiped it with his hand, and pressed his face against the glass to look outside.

The drizzling rain and gray fog shrouded the mountains. The shadows of the trees outside the rugged mountain road were distorted in the fog like hideous figures.

The sound of swords clashing rang in his ears. He turned his head and realized that a martial arts movie was being played on the TV embedded in the bus.

Suddenly, the martial arts movie turned into snowflakes, and a looped broadcast sounded in the crackling static:

"In half an hour, the vehicle will reach S City University. Passengers who have not yet memorized the 'S City Student Regulations' should hurry up. If you have not memorized them, please make sure to carry the Student Regulations with you…"

The passengers on the bus woke up one after another in the broadcast.

"We're finally here." Lin Yi's classmate, Wei Liang, yawned beside him, glanced at the fog outside the window, "The climate in the mountains is like this. Rain and fog are common. There's no danger as long as you don't go out in abnormal weather."

"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded. There were many rumors online about this strange S City University. Some rumors even had a touch of metaphysics, but they still couldn't deter the massive number of university life experience participants.

The reason is simple: as long as the participants complete a seven-day life experience, they can get a generous monetary reward.

Unlike other life experiences, where you have to pay money and be scammed by institutions, the S City University student life experience is extremely free. It is said that you only need to abide by the student regulations and live on campus for a week to receive a cash reward of 30,000 yuan.

When this experience announcement first circulated online, everyone just took it as a joke, until some UP masters and senior Vs personally experienced it and actually received real money, then a large number of participants began to emerge.

Lin Yi didn't believe in this kind of thing, but Wei Liang really got the bonus.

So Lin Yi had to believe it.

Today, Wei Liang was wearing a casual gray hoodie and a baseball cap. The brim of the hat cast a circle of shadows, making Wei Liang, who was already thin, look even more lazy.

Wei Liang is a returning customer—S City University not only does not prohibit people from repeatedly experiencing it, but on the contrary, it strongly encourages this "returning customer" behavior.

Wei Liang had already completed an S City University experience a week ago, so when Wei Liang came back this time, Lin Yi, who was short of money, came with Wei Liang with the idea of ​​treating it as a summer job.

And along with Lin Yi came his four roommates: Mao Feiyang, who was as thin as a monkey, Wei Shan, who was a standard fatty, Tian Bufan, who was as strong as a bear, and Kuai Hongji, who was as tall and thin as a bamboo pole and looked a little kidney deficient.

Lin Yi glanced at the last row of the bus. The four roommates were uniformly maintaining a sound sleep, like dead piglets.

"You should have memorized the Student Regulations, right?" Wei Liang raised the booklet in his hand and poked Lin Yi with his elbow.

Lin Yi nodded: "I've memorized it… But to be honest, these Student Regulations are really the same as the ones circulating online."

Wei Liang said very seriously: "It is indeed very mysterious, but I must tell you that no matter what, you must remember to abide by the Student Regulations."

"Also, after you get your student ID, it's best to put them together in a place where you can easily reach them."

"When you're confused, be sure to grab them in your hands as soon as possible."

"Huh?" Lin Yi was stunned. After entering the mountain road, Wei Liang seemed to have become a lot more mumbling.

Wei Liang ignored him, rubbed his neck, relieved the soreness of his muscles, and continued to read the Student Regulations.

The Student Regulations were only a few pages, but Wei Liang read them repeatedly, non-stop, as if he was about to step into the examination room.

Lin Yi also took out his Student Regulations from his pocket and flipped through them page by page.

The mountain rain gradually increased, the fog gradually thickened, and a dull thunder rolled in the sky, illuminating the university in the deep mountains.

Lin Yi was disturbed by the thunder. Through the rain-covered car window, he saw this looming school district. The shadow of the main building stood tall in the darkness, like a medieval clock tower shrouded in mist.

The dull and depressing atmosphere affected the passengers on the bus. The silent bus quickly only had the looped broadcast mixed with static and the rustling of turning pages.

Lin Yi retracted his gaze and looked at the Student Regulations in his hand.

The rules in this Student Regulations were originally strange, and reading them in this atmosphere made the sense of weirdness even more intense.

"【S City University Student Regulations】"

"Dear participant, welcome to S City University."

"Since our school is built in the suburbs, the terrain is more complicated, and the mobile phone signal is poor, please carry a map with you at all times in order to grasp accurate location information. To ensure your safety, please abide by the following rules when experiencing life at our school:"

"1. In order to fully increase the sense of experience, a student ID will be issued upon enrollment. Please keep your student ID safe and remember your student number (you can write it on a sticky note to prevent forgetting)."

"All consumption on campus must be done by swiping your student ID. Please confirm your student number before swiping your card to ensure that you are using your own student ID. If you accidentally swipe someone else's student ID, please register with the class teacher before spending the night (please confirm that it is your class teacher and not other teachers, let alone someone who claims to be the class teacher)."

"Forgetting to register and spending the night is a very troublesome thing. Our school will continue to provide you with corresponding assistance to solve the problem until you retrieve it or confirm that you cannot retrieve your student ID."

"2. Except for students, all staff in the campus area wear specific uniforms and have their respective badges. Be wary of people without badges and do not believe anything they say."

"3. All the sculptures in the campus area are busts and are all kept in the art building. If you see complete human sculptures in areas of the campus other than this, please find the nearest street light with a number (the street light poles have conspicuous white paint numbers, such as 'Teaching Building - 001', 'Library - 098' and other numbers. If the street light has no number, or has a number in red paint, you must stay away as soon as possible), and return to the nearest building along the street lights."

"At any time, if you hear footsteps or calls suddenly coming from behind you, no matter how close the footsteps are or how urgent the calls are, please do not turn around. The footsteps will disappear after you return to the street light or building."

4. The location coordinates of each building on the map are absolutely accurate, and all campus buildings are marked on the map. If you see a building that is not on the map, especially the art building, do not panic. Mark its location on the map and report it to your homeroom teacher. Access is prohibited.

5. At all times, all building staircases on campus must be used by keeping to the right.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu吧!

When going up or down the stairs in the teaching building, you can only use the stairs. You can only use the elevator in the library. If you see an elevator in the teaching building or a staircase in the library, please pretend you didn't see it, even if you see classmates using them.

If a classmate invites you to take the elevator in the teaching building or persuades you to take the stairs in the library, please ignore them and immediately stay away from them. They are not your classmates.

6. Please leave the dormitory between 6:00 and 7:40 and return to the dormitory between 21:00 and 22:00. After returning to the dormitory, do not leave the dormitory outside of these hours.

If you do not leave the dormitory before 7:40, please use all means to go to the dormitory administrator's office and stay there until 12:00 before leaving; if you do not return to the dormitory before 22:00, please use all means to return to the classroom. The lights in the classroom will not be turned off; please spend the night in the classroom.

During this period, if you find any abnormal situations outside the dormitory administrator's office or the classroom, please ignore them, especially when you hear a voice calling your name.

Be wary of roommates who do not spend the night in the dormitory, especially when they ask you anything related to your student ID.

7. This school is built in the suburbs. If you encounter abnormal weather conditions such as rain or heavy fog on campus, please ignore Rule 4 and find the nearest building as quickly as possible to take shelter from the weather, and leave after the weather returns to normal.

If you accidentally get lost in abnormal weather, please look for the nearest street lamp with a number.

If you cannot find a street lamp with a number immediately, please look down and stare at the ground, looking for any reference object that can confirm that you are still on the road. If you find that the ground is twisting, stretching, or undergoing any illogical changes, please quickly hold your student ID and map tightly in your hands, and repeatedly remind yourself of your name and student ID number in your mind. Remember that you are a student [this sentence is bolded and underlined].

The street lights on campus will turn on after 18:00. At this time, you can find the nearest street lamp to you and walk along the street lamps in the direction of decreasing numbers. You will meet a security guard.

Please follow the security guard until you reach a building that is on the map, and leave the security guard before other students discover you.

8. After 18:00, the street lights on campus are always on. If you see a street light pole that is not lit, please ignore it and detour around it. If you cannot find your way because it is too dark, and you cannot find a building on the map as a reference point from the darkness outside the street lights, please refer to the previous method when you cannot find a street lamp, stay where you are until a patrolling security guard finds you.

9. The dormitory is equipped with a bathroom. If you want to wash your hair, do not close your eyes while washing your hair. Make sure you can see the bathroom tiles, patterns, and everything else that can confirm that you are still in the bathroom.

10. The cafeteria currently only has 9 open ordering windows, and the employees in each window are wearing blue aprons. If an employee wearing a green apron recommends the latest dishes to you (especially spaghetti with meat sauce), please ignore him. Remember, the cafeteria does not have ketchup. Be wary of any food that uses ketchup as a condiment.

There is no window number 10 [this sentence is bolded and underlined].

11. The convenience store is on the first floor of the cafeteria and has no owner. Just swipe your student ID at the self-service terminal when checking out. The convenience store only has daily necessities and food, no souvenirs, especially anything labeled 'Student Commemorative Coin'. If you see someone claiming to be the owner of the convenience store, please leave the convenience store immediately.

12. This school has independent classrooms for art classes, but there are no sculpture classes. If someone claiming to be an art student invites you to experience a sculpture class, please ignore him. If you cannot ignore him, please refuse him seriously. If you cannot refuse, please use all means to inform your homeroom teacher, a sports student, or a physical education teacher.

There are art teachers, and art teachers are only art teachers when they are teaching art classes. In the classroom, the words of the art teacher are absolutely trustworthy.

Pay attention to any human-related paintings or sculptures in the art classroom. They should be still. If you see them moving, please hold your student ID immediately, then leave the classroom immediately and go to the gymnasium to inform the physical education teacher about this matter.

13. You must attend physical education classes according to the schedule. You must follow the arrangements of the physical education teacher at all times, even if it conflicts with other rules.

14. Please pay attention to your physical health. If you experience symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, or nausea while on campus, please find the dormitory administrator or your homeroom teacher before spending the night. He will take you to the infirmary, and the school doctor will take you to the school gate. After seeing the blue school bus (note that it is a blue school bus, ignore other colors), get on the school bus immediately, and the driver will take you out of the campus and end your experience.

As long as you follow the above rules, you will have a comfortable and safe university experience. Follow the rules, pay attention to safety, and I wish you safe travels!

Lin Yi read the student handbook from beginning to end again. He clearly had all the rules memorized, but he still felt that something was not quite right.

Especially when reading the physical copy of the student handbook, it was clearly exactly the same as what was listed online, but it always felt more eerie than the information he saw online.

Just then, a new announcement sounded on the car radio:

The vehicle is about to arrive at S City University. Please check your belongings and disembark in an orderly manner later.

As the announcement sounded, Lin Yi clearly felt that the surrounding passengers were all energized. He wiped the car window again and looked outside.

The rain had stopped, but the mountain fog was thicker. S City University was like a glowing shadow, entrenched in the deep mountains, waiting for their arrival.

The bus drove over the bumpy ground, and the student handbook began to be broadcast on the car radio. Although there was air conditioning, Lin Yi felt that the atmosphere in the car was a bit dull.

Before long, the bus stopped at the school gate. At this time, the gray fog was thick, and the visibility was less than ten meters. Even the guardhouse was not very clear.

Although the bus stopped, the driver did not open the door. He observed the situation in the fog, as if waiting for something.

Lin Yi, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if he was being watched. Following his intuition, he looked out through the car window and saw that there seemed to be a crowd of people moving in the thick fog. Those strange and uncomfortable gazes seemed to come from there.

Before long, a few figures appeared in the fog. The driver squinted at them, but it was difficult to see clearly in the thick fog.

It wasn't until those figures stopped some distance away from the school's guardhouse that Lin Yi noticed that it was a woman in professional attire and a few boys in school uniforms. They looked like a teacher bringing a few student cadres to welcome the new students.

The female teacher seemed to have a smile on her face, and a calm voice slowly came through the fog: "Welcome, students. Please get off the bus now and come with me to do the enrollment registration."

Hearing the female teacher's words, the passengers breathed a sigh of relief and lined up at the bus door with their suitcases, but the bus driver was slow to press the door opening button.

"Driver, we're here. Please open the door." A rather strong passenger standing at the door reminded the driver while carrying his luggage.

But the driver's attention was all focused on those people. He looked at the leading female teacher through the side window, but even at this distance of three to five meters, it was difficult to see clearly in the fog.

He reached out and gently rubbed a small booklet inserted in the pocket of his chest, muttering to himself, as if reciting some kind of rules.

"Don't worry, wait a moment." The driver said calmly, his steady gaze always fixed on the female teacher and her group.
