Rules-related weird stories: 4016

But the other party seemed to have caught a whiff of something. A faint golden light suddenly gathered in his somewhat empty eyes. His gaze shifted away from the cherry tomatoes and landed on Lin Yi.

He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively grabbed a handful of cherry tomatoes with his tomato juice-stained hand and held them out to Lin Yi: "Want to try some?"

Lin Yi's pupils contracted. A hand holding several cherry tomatoes abruptly appeared in his lowered line of sight, sending shivers down his spine.

At this moment, he was presented with the option to refuse, but he recognized with absolute clarity that what he should do was not refuse, but rather—ignore.

Because even if he refused, it would be the same as accepting some kind of request for communication from the other party.

So he silently moved his plate away and looked at Wei Liang and the others, asking, "I'm finished. What about you guys?"

Wei Liang spread his hands, saying helplessly, "We finished eating long ago. We just didn't have the heart to interrupt your affectionate staring at the plate."

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched fiercely. Just as he was about to say something, Tian Bufan's voice rang out from behind him: "Let's go now that you're done eating."

Hearing this, Lin Yi turned around and saw Tian Bufan standing behind him, holding a bowl of soy milk. He even took a sip as he spoke.

Tian Bufan had obviously seen the art student who had occupied his seat, so he was not in a hurry to sit down.

"Then… shall we go?" Lin Yi asked hesitantly.

Tian Bufan immediately downed the soy milk in one gulp, then picked up his plate and led the way towards the dish return station.

The others followed suit and began to move.

But just then, the art student suddenly stood up, grabbed a handful of cherry tomatoes, and insisted on handing them to Lin Yi: "Are you sure… you don't want to try some? You're already being watched. Here, only those of the same kind are qualified to survive."

The bright red skin of the cherry tomatoes had tiny, glistening water droplets on them. The fresh scent of the fruit subtly invaded Lin Yi's nostrils, but beneath this fragrance was an extremely well-hidden bloody smell.

A faint golden glow flickered in the art student's eyes, and the white light above seemed to dim slightly at that moment.

He quietly watched Lin Yi's expression, expecting Lin Yi to respond in some way.

Lin Yi's body paused slightly, but he continued to walk forward.

Seeing that Lin Yi was unmoved, the smile in the art student's eyes gradually disappeared. He lowered his head but kept his gaze fixed, his eyelids covering half of his eyes, making his entire person look gloomy.

He slowly opened his mouth, uttering some obscure and incomprehensible syllables. Some of the students who were eating at the tables in the student cafeteria, as if summoned, stopped eating, got up from their seats, and surrounded Lin Yi and the others with stiff, zombie-like movements.

As these people moved, their stiff limbs made a harsh rustling sound, and their shuffling feet dragged across the ground, creating a "shasha shasha" sound.

The art student sat back down, his eyes never leaving Lin Yi's back, and then grabbed a cherry tomato and threw it into his mouth, chewing with a 'guazha guazha' sound.

Bright red tomato juice flowed from the corner of his mouth, down his chin, and dripped onto the plate.

He kept chewing on the cherry tomatoes, and the tomato juice kept dripping.

"Drip, drip, drip…"

Gradually, a chef wearing a green apron suddenly appeared around him. The chef had a signature eerie smile on his face and handed him a tomato.

He took the tomato and put it aside, continuing to eat the cherry tomatoes.

The green-aproned chef smiled radiantly, placing his hands on his lower abdomen, and obediently retreated to the side like a restaurant waiter, his gaze following the art student's to Lin Yi's back.

At this moment, Lin Yi deeply felt the sharp, wheat-like gaze from behind him. After he ignored the art student's invitation, the other party's eyes instantly revealed undisguised evil and maliciousness.

But Lin Yi was already used to it. He reached out and scratched his scalp. The numbness became less numb.

Being watched?

Of course, he knew, but more accurately, shouldn't they already be watched?

From the first time he came to the cafeteria to eat, or from the moment they first entered the campus, they had already been targeted by the green-aproned chef.

"Could it be… that other unknown entities are coming for them?"

Rather than hearing from someone else that he was being targeted by something, he didn't understand how the art student determined this.

Did he have words written on his head?

Or was it because of that so-called "perception"?

Strange, really strange…

Lin Yi was a little puzzled, and just then, he inadvertently came to the huge square pillar in the student cafeteria.

The moment he approached the pillar, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his heart, so he looked up at the pillar.

But the pillar was smooth and flat, and he couldn't see any problems at a glance.

"Pillar?"

Lin Yi was stunned at first, then immediately realized where the problem lay.

"The problem isn't with this pillar! But…"

He slowly moved his gaze along with this feeling, and then he saw a pure white arm sculpture on a pillar not far away.

This arm sculpture was terrifyingly realistic. On the back of the hand, even the slightly raised blood vessels were clearly and three-dimensionally carved. At the broken part, he could still see a broken humerus, as well as a blood sculpture that was still dripping downwards.

On the part of the arm's palm that was tightly attached to the pillar, he could also see a spider web-like crack spreading around.

The entire arm sculpture gave him a feeling of great power and explosiveness, but at the same time, it was full of a strong and eerie abstract style.

"That is…?!" Lin Yi's pupils shrank slightly, and the memory of being chased by the green-aproned chef yesterday instantly flooded his mind.

That's the green-aproned chef's severed hand!

What kind of explosiveness is this, to be able to tear off one's own arm?

But this also confirmed another scene he had seen, which was that when the green-aproned chef's arm was broken by the sports student with a bat, it would also turn into a plaster-like sculpture at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye.

"That's right, that's right, this is the same as what I guessed!"

"When the pollutants exceed the threshold that the body can withstand, it will turn the polluted person into a sculpture."

"So, were those green-aproned chefs sculptures from the beginning, or do they only turn into sculptures after being injured or dying?"

"Wait… 'dying'?"

"But how should I define their state as 'alive' or 'dead'?"

Just as Lin Yi began to think in this direction, a strong sense of crisis suddenly erupted in his subconscious. He was very familiar with this feeling, the kind of distortion and collapse of established cognition of reality that occurs when his perception becomes unstable.

In the student cafeteria area, the dark areas not illuminated by the incandescent lights suddenly stretched out. Along with this stretching sensation, the black shadows suddenly writhed and extended like countless tentacles, entangling Lin Yi.

Lin Yi heard the sound of flowing water in his ears, and it seemed that a puddle of water had appeared on the floor behind him, as if someone had accidentally dropped a water pipe and water was gushing out of the pipe, spreading across the floor.

But this time, the sound didn't come from behind Lin Yi, but from the direction he was facing, in the same direction as the pillar with the white arm sculpture.

Therefore, he saw the distorted and wriggling darkness spreading like tentacles. Black water flowed across the floor, and the space in front of him seemed to change from regular solid geometry to irregular twisted lines.

But if a straight line collapses, it would at most become a tangled thread. However, the collapse of a spatial plane is even more abstract and mentally devastating. That mass of darkness was clearly spreading, but the space was like a wonton skin flattened in someone's palm, and then the palm suddenly exerted force, twisting it into an indescribably chaotic curved surface.

It was a maddening sense of spatial distortion, from visual impact to the brain, giving him a feeling of losing his balance.

Although he had been prepared and had even been thinking within the scope of his cognition, everything happened silently at this moment. By the time he realized something was wrong, the abyss seemed to have opened its bloody maw towards him.

"My name is Lin Yi, my student ID is X0230506098, I am in the student cafeteria..."

"My name is Lin Yi, my student ID is..."

Lin Yi silently recited his name, student ID, and location information in his mind, trying to imagine the pillar that had been swallowed by the darkness.

Even though the darkness had already arrived in front of him, he still told himself with absolute certainty that he was in front of the pillar.

"That's right! Aren't I right in front of the pillar?!"

Lin Yi suddenly thought of something. Although the pillar with the arm sculpture was not far away, wasn't there another pillar next to him?

Isn't this a damn anchor?

"My name is Lin Yi, my student ID is X0230506098, I am in the student cafeteria, next to me..." He stretched out his hand and reached towards a certain position before the darkness swallowed him, "...there is a pillar!"

"Snap."

His palm touched two mutually perpendicular smooth planes.

The darkness that was about to swallow him suddenly paused, and then shattered into countless points of light. His vision returned to normal, and he was holding a plate in one hand and touching the pillar with the other.

"Ha! It really works!" A hint of joy appeared in Lin Yi's heart.

Sure enough, when you realize that a problem has occurred, as long as you have a sufficiently firm cognition and can find an anchor, you can immediately anchor yourself back to the original world!

However, he still felt a burst of fear. Today, he was no longer the him who had just entered the school. He was able to be silently influenced by the campus and think excessively. Not to mention last night.

But fortunately, he is really different now. At least he can rely on the help of others to get rid of the influence of the layer drop himself.

Just as a smile appeared on his face and he was feeling happy for his improvement, a voice filled with intense hatred sounded from behind the pillar he couldn't see...

“You saw it, right? You saw my hand… It hurts! It really hurts!”

The voice was hoarse and painful, as if sand was stuffed in his throat and constantly rubbed to make it. Along with the sound, a green-aproned chef slowly walked out from behind the pillar...

He was wearing a white chef's uniform and a tall hat, but both of his hands were broken off along with the sleeves of the chef's uniform. Not only that, at the broken part of his arms, there were no bloody wounds. There was only a kind of cyan-gray skin texture that spread down his arms.

On the cut surface of the fracture, the cyan-gray skin gradually turned white, and the final form looked like some kind of plaster sculpture.

This was an extremely abstract appearance, like a mixture of stone and living things in a 3D animation. The fractured part extending from his shoulders showed an extremely outrageous but real transformation from flesh and blood to a plaster sculpture...

His eyes had turned into stone beads, but his head was still human. At this moment, he was staring at Lin Yi with an extremely evil, vicious, cold, and bloodthirsty gaze, and said venomously:

“One of my hands was torn off while chasing you, and the other hand was broken when I tried to grab you…”

“It hurts…”

“It really hurts!!”

“I want your hands! Give me your hands!!”

“If I put on your hands, it won’t hurt!”

“It won’t hurt anymore!”

But he didn't have any other behavior. He just stared at Lin Yi, using the most hateful words, as if… he was restricted by some kind of rule.

“I didn’t trigger his attack mechanism.” Lin Yi instantly understood the problem with the green-aproned chef. “However, when I put down the plate and start walking towards the student cafeteria exit, he should attack me.”

Lin Yi understood this and was a little flustered, but not too much.

“Lao Lin, are you a pervert, caressing a pillar over there?” At this moment, Wei Liang's contemptuous voice came from not far in front of him. “A round and straight pillar is one thing, but you wouldn’t be able to fantasize about a square pillar as a jade foot, would you?”

“I’ll jade foot your sister!” Lin Yi couldn’t help but blurt out a sentence and quickly picked up the plate and followed.

At the same time, those zombie-like students had surrounded them like a sea of people. In addition to them, some unfriendly gazes were also cast from various gloomy and narrow corners, converging on them.

In some corners, green-aproned chefs were also looking at them with sneers.

Soon, Lin Yi arrived at the dish return area. The green-aproned chef with both hands broken was also closely following him, the resentment in his eyes almost overflowing from his sockets...
