Rules-related weird stories: 4016

She felt increasingly strange but didn't dare to think too deeply, fearing she might discover something that would cause her mental breakdown.

She slept fitfully through the night, went to the cafeteria for breakfast, and then returned to the classroom, only to find that many students had disappeared overnight, and those who remained were completely different from when she had arrived yesterday…

At this point, even with her slow reaction time, she understood that the S City University experience program was problematic, and the 30,000 yuan for seven days wasn't so easy to earn.

But she didn't know where the problem lay, nor did she want to understand it. She just wanted to escape this campus as soon as possible. As for the 30,000 yuan for seven days, no normal person could ever get that money!

As for those online 'senior big Vs' who had already received the money, those 'well-known evaluation up-loaders,' those 'adventure bloggers'… that kind of stuff was too full of fluff and couldn't be trusted at all!

She felt like she had woken up to reality. This S City University was a deceptive trap, even more terrifying than some scam groups.

But she also discovered that all the anomalies on campus stemmed from unknown things, and these unknown things were avoided in the student rules, teaching building rules, dormitory rules, etc., with vague records, as if the campus was intentionally guiding the experience students away from thinking in that direction.

And wanting to leave the campus… besides the student rule's mention of applying to the homeroom teacher due to physical discomfort, and then being taken to the school clinic by the homeroom teacher, and being put on the blue school bus, the only other option was to complete the seven-day, 30,000-yuan experience activity on campus.

As for abandoning the rules, or following the map provided by the teaching building rules to go to the school gate, and then quietly leaving the campus… she had considered it, but she felt it was inappropriate.

Because the rules present in every building told her that to survive on campus, she had to honestly abide by these rules. If she violated the rules, the kind of danger she would encounter was unpredictable.

Moreover, she couldn't think of a way to make herself physically uncomfortable, because she had a premonition… that path of leaving due to physical discomfort felt strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Anyway, her intuition told her that path was not feasible.

And since she couldn't escape, the only remaining path was to find a way to survive for seven days. And she also knew that in this place filled with unknown dangers, wanting to survive alone was as difficult as ascending to heaven, so she decided to find a strong backer to rely on.

All of the above were things she had thought of while lying in bed at night…

If Lin Yi knew her convoluted thoughts, he would definitely give her a thumbs up and a big 'NICE' in capital letters.

Why?

Because only in the dormitory could you think about these things randomly. Thinking so much in other places would have caused cognitive collapse long ago.

And she just happened to accidentally formulate a simple plan in a safe state…

Of course, there were also accidents. For example, when this girl returned to the classroom, preparing to observe her classmates and find a strong backer, she suddenly discovered that, let alone a strong backer, the only people in the entire classroom who could be called 'normal' were Lin Yi and Wei Liang.

As for the sports students… she decisively gave up the idea of relying on the sports students, because these sports students looked like the 'traditional students' of the school. They seemed to be a group of people who had already adapted to the campus and would never leave.

This went against her original intention of wanting to leave.

So, after the idea of finding a strong backer fell through, she only had one thought left—teaming up.

If she couldn't find a strong backer, could she at least form a team?

Many hands make light work!

So, after another round of consideration, she still approached Lin Yi and Wei Liang…

…

On the other side, Lin Yi naturally didn't know the girl's thoughts, or that the girl had once regarded him as a strong backer. But facing the girl's 'team-up request,' he chose to refuse without even thinking about it.

Why so direct?

Because teaming up, in essence, is a collaborative activity carried out by several people with common goals and different abilities in order to achieve a unified objective.

Everyone has their own advantages and can cope with some difficulties. Most importantly, the more dangerous the place you team up in, the more you need a tacit understanding of sufficient trust between each other, and this girl obviously did not meet these conditions.

As for Lin Yi and Wei Liang… although neither of them could be said to be here to strategize, at least they had absolute trust in each other. When danger came, they could entrust their backs to each other.

On the other hand, Lin Yi also had his own considerations.

He didn't want to burden others, because based on what he had experienced since entering the school, it was definitely more outrageous than 90% of the experience students, and the dangers he encountered were also more dangerous than 90% of the experience students. If he brought another person with him, that person would most likely be killed by him.

Emmm… of course, this person first excluded Wei Liang, after all, that fellow's performance was becoming more and more strange, but he was still a guy who had completed an experience.

Based on this, in Lin Yi's view, Wei Liang himself was no longer in the category of that 90%.

Secondly, he didn't want to burden others, but at the same time, he didn't want to be burdened by others.

As the saying goes, kill the SJW first when the apocalypse comes. He, Lin Yi, was not the kind of person who would get excited at the sight of a woman and then show great kindness, and it was impossible for him to blindly bring in someone whose background he didn't know.

…

May 8, X023, 10:26 AM, in front of the cafeteria notice board.

Lin Yi had just taken the cafeteria rules when he looked up and found that the girl had already followed him.

The girl had obviously sensed that Lin Yi, this guy who didn't want to care about anything, was the real person in charge, so after quickly taking the cafeteria rules, she stood in front of him with gritted teeth, her delicately made-up face full of stubbornness.

Wei Liang covered his mouth and chuckled aside, seemingly unconcerned, as if he was just watching a show.

Lin Yi glanced at his watch.

10:27.

He glanced at the girl again, and finally sighed faintly: "Alright…"

"If you really want to insist… I can let you follow me, but I declare in advance that if you encounter some crises beyond my ability, I will not risk my life to accompany you."

The girl heard this and quietly pursed her lips: "Then… what about crises within your ability?"

"Then I might help you, but you'd better not put your hopes on me." Lin Yi said with incomparable sincerity. At this time, he felt it was very necessary to put on a petty person's attitude first.

Upon hearing this, the girl's heart leaped, but something was better than nothing. She gritted her teeth and nodded heavily, saying, "Okay, that's settled then!"

The girl's response surprised Lin Yi, but since she didn't mind, he naturally didn't care either. After all, he had already made things clear beforehand.

In times of trouble, not helping is one's duty, helping is a favor. It's best to state it in advance.

After saying that, Lin Yi and Wei Liang squatted down in front of the notice board in front of the cafeteria, looking around aimlessly, glancing this way and that.

While within the cafeteria area, Lin Yi, influenced by his own inspiration, couldn't see the buildings in other areas.

But interestingly, apart from the buildings, the scenery his vision could capture wasn't affected at all. For example, he could see the green belt next to Teaching Building B that concealed a sculpture formation, and he could also see the cobblestone path that split into three like a forked stream, leading to Teaching Buildings A, B, and C, as well as the streetlights lining both sides of the cobblestone path.

However, it was precisely the teaching buildings that seemed to be erased from his vision.

【Each building is like a solitary island floating on the sea, unreachable from each other, yet closely connected by the cobblestone paths filled with streetlights in the campus.】

This sentence surfaced in his mind again.

And on the cobblestone path, there were also figures, one after another. They were all students heading from the teaching buildings to the cafeteria for lunch.

"Um... Excuse me, aren't you going in?" The girl hesitated for a while, then tentatively voiced her question.

Lin Yi glanced at his watch: "The cafeteria's opening hours for lunch are 10:40 ~ 13:20. It's 10:30 now, and there are still 10 minutes before we can go in."

Lin Yi wasn't sure whether the 10:40 opening time referred to the time when students were allowed to enter the student passage, or the time when they were allowed to enter the student restaurant. But to be on the safe side, it was naturally better to wait until 10:40 before entering the student passage.

Moreover, he had agreed with Tian Bufan to meet in the passageway between the entrance and exit of the student restaurant and the student passage before 11:30. Now that there was plenty of time, there was naturally no need to rush.

The newest and fastest novels are at Liu 9 Shu Ba first!

The girl glanced at Lin Yi's wrist, a look of bewilderment appearing in her eyes...

And at that moment, Lin Yi suddenly noticed a trace of coldness appearing around him. He looked at the girl in surprise, and found that she didn't know what was going on, but her whole person suddenly froze in place, and the gas she exhaled became much colder, as if it had taken a turn in the refrigerator...

『Damn?』 Lin Yi's eyes twitched, and he quickly reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

"Hey, are you okay?"

With this pat, the girl's body trembled violently, looking at first glance like the female characters in those brainless novels whose delicate bodies trembled from Long Aotian's domineering aura.

She suddenly woke up, and the cold aura around her disappeared without a trace.

After the girl regained her senses, her face first turned pale, and then gradually recovered after a period of panting.

"No... I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Lin Yi frowned slightly. "You better not lie to me, otherwise if you really encounter any problems, I will really stand by and watch."

The girl pursed her lips, and then tentatively asked, "What brand is your watch...?"

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, muttering strangely in his heart, and then shook his head and said, "I don't know... It was given to me by someone a long time ago."

"I heard that electronic devices aren't very useful here, so I dug out this watch. It's a quartz watch, these old things are still quite accurate, and the error won't be too big."

"Quartz... Quartz watch? Ah, oh, oh, okay, okay." The girl wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and shrank her neck cautiously.

"Yeah."

After waiting for a few minutes, the atmosphere was so quiet that you could hear the wind in the mountains and the breathing of several people.

The girl fidgeted, and then said cautiously, "Um, excuse me, what's your name...?"

"My name is Li Huiyuan... We met yesterday. I wanted to ask you to help me move my luggage."

Upon hearing the word 'luggage,' Wei Liang instantly reacted: "Oh! I remember now, you're that pink-haired, whiny, two-dimensional freak from yesterday!"

Lin Yi, who was looking around, was also suddenly reminded of who Li Huiyuan was by Wei Liang's reminder.

Yesterday, there was a cosplayer in the classroom wearing a pink outfit, using a fake voice to ask them to help move her luggage... So it was Li Huiyuan.

It's just that today, Li Huiyuan changed into a student uniform set that was completely different from yesterday's pink lolita style, and her makeup was also adjusted, so he didn't recognize her right away.

After thinking about this, he couldn't help but glance at Wei Liang, thinking to himself, 『Liangzi, why the hell are you saying you're not interested? It turns out you're the one with the deepest impression.』

Wei Liang seemed to be able to hear Lin Yi's inner voice, staring back at Lin Yi's strange gaze, as if to say, 『What are you looking at? Just because I'm not interested in pink hair and pink silk doesn't mean I can't remember, hey!』

"I..." Li Huiyuan scratched her hair awkwardly. "I saw that everyone on the internet likes that kind of persona, so I wanted to try to be all whiny yesterday, but I didn't expect..."

I didn't expect I didn't hit your XP... She didn't dare to say this sentence.

"Heh heh heh." Wei Liang sneered, thinking to himself, you dare to show off your petty skills in front of an expert. "My name is Wei Liang, he is Lin Yi. One of us likes black silk mature women, and the other likes white silk loli. A girl like you who is stuck between mature women and loli perfectly avoids both of our XPs. What a coincidence, sorry, sorry~"

Lin Yi glared at Wei Liang.

『Liangzi, why the hell are you saying everything out loud?』

"By the way, Liangzi."

"Huh?"

"Did you see Li Huiyuan's state just now?"

"Huh? What state?" Wei Liang showed a question mark face. "Are you talking about the state of frustration after she found out that she perfectly avoided our XPs?"

"..."

"Get lost, I'm talking about the state where her body turned cold, did you see it?"

"Huh? Ah? I didn't see it."

"Come on, that's too fake, I saw you were also preparing to pat her on the shoulder."

"Ah? Then what if I said that I was lustful and wanted to take the opportunity to touch her, would you believe it?"
