Rules-related weird stories: 4016

It hung upside down from the fluorescent light, its neck twisted, facing Lin Yi. A sinister aura seemed to permeate the darkness, causing its already disfigured face to slowly swell like elastic rubber, then morphing into a face somewhat resembling Li Huiyuan's.

Lin Yi ignored its presence, leading Li Huiyuan around the area and continuing to run.

At this moment, the area around the No. 5 food window in the student cafeteria was completely enveloped in darkness, and a cold aura gradually spread from within.

With the help of the few remaining lights, Lin Yi could clearly see a chill quietly spreading across the floor tiles. No, it wasn't even a chill, but… fog!

A ghastly white fog!

As the lights went out, the first floor of the student cafeteria began to fall through layers, and the ghastly white fog began to seep into reality from that layer!

No! Who said the original cafeteria was reality?!

Perhaps the original cafeteria itself was in a layer, only a pure land was forcibly carved out in this area by the fluorescent lights!

But no matter what it was originally, the first floor of the student cafeteria is now overlapping with a deep, dark domain!

Lin Yi looked at the convenience store, which seemed both far away and close at hand. Veins popped on his forehead. At this moment, he desperately wished he could pull out an old kerosene lamp, but unfortunately, that belonged to the security guard, and he could only imagine it.

"Wait!"

"The way these fluorescent lights are going out is patterned!"

Lin Yi suddenly realized something. In this student cafeteria, although the fluorescent lights flickered erratically, when they truly started to go out, they followed the order of starting from the No. 5 food window. Furthermore, if one observed closely, one would discover that the area formed by the extinguished fluorescent lights was a curve, like…

"Ripples?"

Lin Yi felt a current suddenly surge through his mind, causing his scalp to tingle!

He seemed to see a stone falling onto a calm lake surface, and then a ripple spreading out, pushing forward and extinguishing the fluorescent lights along the way!

"Could this be some kind of creature's 'force field'? When it appears, the force field goes ahead, clearing obstacles?"

Lin Yi's first thought was of the security guard!

The security guard carrying the old kerosene lamp, walking through the foggy campus. The old kerosene lamp unfolded a mysterious domain, directly driving away the surrounding fog!

So, if there was a "unit" similar to the security guard carrying the old kerosene lamp approaching the cafeteria, and its "force field" was completely opposite to that of the security guard, wouldn't that cause the fluorescent lights to go out?

"Is it… that concept-level sculpture?"

This thought only flashed through Lin Yi's mind, but it gave him a sense of terror and oppression as heavy as a mountain.

He took a deep breath, glanced at the fluorescent lights that were still flickering, and his agile mind constructed a brainstorming session. The flickering fluorescent lights were directly replicated in his brain, but the flickering frequency was much slower than the real ones.

He stopped, standing hunched over like a lone wolf in the black and white student cafeteria. The chilling atmosphere seemed to want to cut the flickering reality into something like Panda Magic Mapo Tofu.

Li Huiyuan didn't understand why Lin Yi suddenly stopped, but she didn't believe Lin Yi was sitting still and waiting for death, so she pursed her lips and waited for Lin Yi to burst out again.

Lin Yi quietly observed everything in front of him, and the flickering picture of the fluorescent lights replicated in his brain became clearer and clearer, and the flickering frequency became slower and slower, until… the fluorescent lights completely stopped flickering.

"Found it…" he murmured, "Stay focused, Li Huiyuan, from now on, keep up with my rhythm, don't miss a step."

His tone was firm and cold, and a chilling golden light flowed in his eyes. He was so calm that he seemed to not belong to the human world.

Before he finished speaking, he took the first step—walking out along the pitch-black pillar of light.

Li Huiyuan quickly followed.

As soon as the two of them left the spot, the fluorescent light hanging above their heads went out…

Li Huiyuan's heart trembled, but before she could react, Lin Yi took another step.

When she followed Lin Yi away, the fluorescent light behind them went out again.

But after walking through the area of three lights, Lin Yi suddenly stopped again, and then Li Huiyuan heard Lin Yi seem to be muttering "Three, two, one…"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took another step.

When they walked out, the fluorescent light above their heads went out again.

Li Huiyuan's eyes widened, looking at Lin Yi in disbelief, completely unable to figure out how he did it.

From Lin Yi's perspective, it was actually just an "ordinary" picture, and everything was exactly the same as what Li Huiyuan saw.

However, in Lin Yi's mind, the pattern of the fluorescent lights flickering and going out in a short period of time had already been "deduced" by him!

Lin Yi didn't know how he did it, but since he unfolded "My World" on the corridor bridge, "Daydream" seemed to have become one of his skills.

But the so-called "Daydream" is actually a kind of sandbox deduction. It's just that Lin Yi can use his brainpower to calculate it in his heart, and even replicate reality in it. After that, he can add the rules he found, and he can develop a terrifying calculation that even he himself cannot understand.

And the way the fluorescent lights in the student cafeteria flicker seems to contain some kind of pattern. After a little deduction, he calculated the extinguishing pattern of the fluorescent lights.

So the next two people went to the convenience store in "rhythm."

But just as they had walked more than halfway, the white fog suddenly floated up, as if it had been blown away by something…

Immediately afterwards, there was a rustling "sasa sasa" sound from the darkness, like the sound of stones rubbing on the ground.

"Nightwalkers?!" Lin Yi's expression changed, and with the help of the flickering lights, he saw those inhuman classmates standing like tombstones in the black pillar of light area shrouded in ghastly white mist.

However, these inhuman classmates were now numb to Lin Yi. What really made him feel chills was what was behind those inhuman classmates.

No. 10 food window.

He inversely calculated the starting position of this "ripple", and this position coincided with the No. 10 food window hidden in the shadows!

"The horror of the extinguished-light cafeteria originates from the No. 10 food window? Could it be the green-aproned chef?"

Lin Yi had some guesses, but he wasn't sure. He vaguely felt that the green-aproned chef shouldn't have such deterrence, so the real danger was likely to come from… a pollution level more serious than the green-aproned chef's!

In Lin Yi's mind, the green-aproned chefs were actually quite fragile. Xu Shun Kang could knock one down with a baseball bat, Lao Da could stomp one out with her jade foot, Wei Shan could send one flying with a dinner plate, and even... even Wei Liang could kick a green-aproned chef beyond recognition through the plastic curtain.

Therefore, Lin Yi speculated that a very terrifying source of danger was lurking in the No. 10 food window.

"If the first floor of the cafeteria overlaps with the basement floor of the cafeteria after the layer falls, then... is the dangerous source in the No. 10 food window the same as the owner of the strange sound I heard in the employee通道?!"

Lin Yi gradually clenched his teeth, feeling the boundless pressure was coming to him with the darkness, but to his surprise, Li Hui Yuan, who had been dropping layers from time to time, did not have any abnormal state, although her palms were a little cold.

On the contrary, Li Hui Yuan's eyes were very bright and clear, with a firm light flowing in her eyes, like a rock standing still in the torrent.

Lin Yi's heart trembled.

Li Hui Yuan saw the convenience store, so the hope that was originally being lost was suddenly found back at this moment and was constantly strengthened, transformed into a strong desire to survive.

In the words of the head teacher... it seems that she now possesses some kind of unshakable, steely will?

Lin Yi was stunned again and again, only feeling a little dreamy. Now even he couldn't see through Li Hui Yuan. Could this be the power of the will to survive in a desperate situation?

"Lao Lin! Lao Lin!"

At this moment, Wei Liang's voice suddenly sounded behind Lin Yi.

"Huh? Liang Zi?"

Lin Yi was stunned. He was about to turn around and say, 'How the hell did you come back?' when a chill instantly rose from the bottom of his heart—[Don't look back]!

"Li Hui Yuan! Li Hui Yuan!! Hey, wait for me!" Seeing that Lin Yi was unmoved, the voice turned to call out to Li Hui Yuan.

"Don't look back!" Lin Yi shouted, grabbing Li Hui Yuan's hand and exerting force. Regardless of whether Li Hui Yuan would be affected, he directly interrupted the other party's "spellcasting" in this rude way.

The two rushed towards the convenience store one after the other. When they came to the front of the convenience store, the white light behind them also went out.

But Lin Yi frowned, seemingly caught in some kind of confusion.

"Lin, student... should we go in now?" Li Hui Yuan asked.

The door of the convenience store was the ordinary outward-opening wooden door. Both doors opened outward. One door had a sign saying "Convenience Store Open", and the other door had a row of shelves in front of it, displaying some snacks.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba.com!

The dim yellow light swayed in the convenience store, like an orange juice spray diffused in the air, drifting out from the entrance of the convenience store, rendering a dim and dark area.

Lin Yi and Li Hui Yuan are now standing in this area...

This area gave Lin Yi the feeling of the field formed by street lights in the thick fog. However, although this area existed, it did not make Lin Yi feel any sense of security.

"There seems to be a problem... but, what is the problem?"

Lin Yi looked at the things in the convenience store, always feeling that something was wrong.

It was the kind of... "feeling that there is no problem but it seems like there is a problem, feeling that there is a problem but it seems like there is no problem," a contradictory and awkward feeling.

"Go into the convenience store first and get the student commemorative coin." Lin Yi said in a deep voice.

They had no way out and could only move forward.

Moreover, not only did Li Hui Yuan have to find the student commemorative coin, but he also needed to buy at least one item in the convenience store and take it away.

Strangely enough, the convenience store was clearly open, and it was rendering a orange-yellow mist from the inside out, but when looking from outside the convenience store to the inside, nothing could be seen, only a sight full of orange-yellow.

Lin Yi glanced at the snacks on the shelf, hesitated slightly, and took a roll of biscuits in his hand, then led Li Hui Yuan across the threshold of the convenience store.

When crossing the light curtain, Lin Yi did not have any abnormal feeling, only feeling that it was as ordinary as crossing a layer of air.

But his vision had changed a bit.

Crossing the door of the convenience store was like drilling out of a thick layer of cotton wool, and the line of sight suddenly became clear.

Lin Yi was stunned by the scene in front of him, and even Li Hui Yuan, who followed him out of the light mist, subconsciously opened her mouth wide.

"This...?"

"Is this the convenience store...?"

The convenience store in front of them was completely different from the cafeteria convenience store that one would imagine. It had an indescribable sense of strangeness.

First of all, its space. It was very large, but it was hard to say how large.

In front of Lin Yi were rows of shelves, with some goods scattered on the shelves, but... these shelves could not be seen to the end at all.

At the end of the line of sight, there was a pitch-black spot that even the light could not reach.

On the left and right sides, there were also shelves, which also could not be seen to the end.

Lin Yi felt as if they had entered a shelter filled with supplies.

Or rather, this was like an arched air-raid shelter tunnel, with old incandescent lamps hanging above the tunnel, and the incandescent lamps scattered dim yellow light, covering and illuminating one area after another.

Lin Yi's heart was pounding.

The blast-proof glass of the teaching building, the air-raid shelter of the convenience store, the city wall-like gymnasium, the fortress-like cafeteria...

This is Nima...

Putting aside the layer problem, S City University in the real layer itself seems to have big problems!

Moreover, the air in the convenience store seemed to be a little turbid, and fine dust particles permeated the light, which made Lin Yi feel more and more correct about his guess.

But at the same time, it also gave him a dreamlike sense of unreality.

Who would have thought that he and Li Hui Yuan were still in the student restaurant, and after crossing a door, they entered an air-raid shelter, a shelter-like "convenience store"...

From a realistic point of view, there is definitely no such way out of the passage leaving the cafeteria.

"The convenience store should be located in a certain layer, or in the gap between layers..." Lin Yi guessed.

He slowly took a breath, allowing the somewhat turbid air to pour into his lungs from the respiratory tract, and after turning around in his body, he slowly exhaled, so as to make his thoughts clearer...

Then, he couldn't help but look back.

He saw that the door behind him was still there, but it stood strangely behind him, like Doraemon's Anywhere Door.

Unlike the scene in the student restaurant where he couldn't see through the door of the convenience store, at this moment he could see the outside scene from inside the convenience store, like a one-way mirror.

Thank you book friend "琳 skylark" for the reward!!
