Rules-related weird stories: 4016

The Smiling Angel's eyes peeked out from behind his fingers, those golden eyes with concentric circles, like a sharp blade piercing his thoughts, fiercely stinging his eyes!

[Jie--]

The Smiling Angel's mouth twisted into a chillingly evil smile.

"Bang!"

Lin Yi slammed his hands on the desk, recoiling violently and leaning heavily against the chair.

He sank deep into the seat, as if trying to compress his entire weight into it.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

He gasped for breath, his forehead covered in beads of sweat, and a layer of fine perspiration emerged on his back.

"I…"

"I seemed to have thought about the Smiling Angel in that stairwell just now…?!"

The scene that Lin Yi conjured up in his mind was actually the one that Mao Zi had witnessed the first time he encountered the Smiling Angel.

But unlike his memory, in his imagination, the Smiling Angel actually turned to look at him!

Moreover, that eerie smile was so vivid, as if the Smiling Angel had really seen him!

Even… Lin Yi felt like he was starting to get confused, he found himself almost unable to remember whether the Smiling Angel had turned around before…

It seems… it did?

No, it didn't!

It definitely didn't turn around!

"Crap…" Lin Yi suddenly realized something, and a chill ran through him. "The Smiling Angel… is overwriting my perception?!"

"…That might be a quantum state life form…"

"…We still haven't found a way to eliminate them…"

Some voices began to flash through Lin Yi's mind, some from Tian Bufan, some from Mu Daxian, but eventually they all turned into a strange yet familiar voice.

"I see… you!!!"

"Boom--"

It was as if some information exploded in Lin Yi's mind. He thought of the Nightwalkers and the Faux Humans saying: "I see you", "I know you're watching me", "Look at me"…

If the level of contamination is continuously deepening, then there must be some similarities and slight improvements between them, such as… "seeing"?

Could it be… that the prerequisite for being locked onto by the Angel Statues is to first "see" them?!

Similar to mutual anchoring… mutual locking?

Then, like layers permeating each other, in a certain special layer, a fusion and interpenetration link is completed?

And then… the Smiling Angel can launch an attack?

Lin Yi's eyes flickered. If that's the case… could my memory just now have created some kind of strange "quantum entanglement" with that Smiling Angel through memory?

"It's not that weird… is it?" Lin Yi couldn't help but think.

He composed himself and looked at the notebook again. Suddenly, he shuddered, and the pen almost flew out of his hand.

He stared blankly at his notepad, only to see that some scribbled and frantic lines had appeared on his notebook… as if in his "possessed sleepwalking" just now, he had used some kind of bizarre muscle memory and penmanship logic to draw a picture with wild strokes.

In the painting, one could faintly see the Smiling Angel turning around, and one could also faintly see a pair of golden eyes with concentric circles…

"Could it be that my guess is correct, that light bulb… could it really be the eyes of the Angel Statue?!"

If so, then it seems to explain to some extent why the Nightwalkers and the Faux Humans dare not approach the lampposts, because they are inherently afraid of the Angel Statues.

But what if it isn't? What is the light bulb then?

He looked at the messy lines on this page of the notepad, becoming more and more upset, and then he tore the page off, folded it up, and repeatedly tore it apart, finally forming a pile of paper scraps.

He got up and threw the paper scraps into the trash can at the back of the classroom.

Wei Liang was disturbed by Lin Yi's movements and looked at his back with some confusion, then glanced at the notebook.

Because a page had been torn off, Wei Liang saw a blank page, but for some reason, Wei Liang frowned slightly, but after that, he immediately withdrew his gaze and continued to read his H-manga.

On the other side, Lin Yi, who had just thrown the paper scraps into the trash can, suddenly felt a prickling sensation on his back, as if something was staring at him.

Following this feeling, he turned around and happened to see Song Rentou in the corner of the classroom.

Upon being discovered by Lin Yi, Song Rentou was first stunned, but then, not only did he not dodge, but he also nodded to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was taken aback, pretended that nothing had happened, avoided Song Rentou's gaze, and silently returned to his seat.

He didn't feel good. Just one look and he had been targeted by Song Rentou.

Moreover, what did Song Rentou say before—"Have we met before?"

If they had met, how could he have no impression at all?

But if they hadn't met, what was that sense of familiarity all about?

So this was bad news—he had been targeted by Song Rentou.

But everything is relative, with bad news, there is good news.

And the good news is… precisely because Song Rentou has that strange sense of familiarity with him, he would be targeted by Song Rentou sooner or later. And the good thing is that he lost a horse but found a blessing in disguise, having had a close-range contact with Song Rentou in advance, and discovered some clues during the contact, and obtained some early warnings.

Thinking of this, a wry smile couldn't help but appear in Lin Yi's heart, and a sentence emerged for no reason—“My life has been like walking on thin ice.”

Lin Yi returned to his seat, while Wei Liang was still reading H-manga.

He really wanted to study the H-manga, but there were still some things that had not been settled.

"Let's do one thing at a time…"

He picked up his pen and drew a table on the notepad, then wrote a few names like A, B, C, and then wrote the four symbols “〇”, “√”, “×”, “/” in the blank space…

He first followed his memory to make a few marks, and then began to ponder the meaning of these symbols, and the meanings represented by various different annotations.

"The circles and slashes on the names clearly represent the state of this person…"

"Those with nothing are like me, a 'nobody'…"

"Those with circles are sports students… or to broaden the scope, let's assume that both sports students and art students are circled names."

"Then… do those people who are crossed out represent those who have been eliminated? Like the little genius?"

In fact, the most difficult thing to judge is the meaning of “/”, so Lin Yi chose to use the assumption method to reverse it. If it can be reversed, then there is no problem.

"But, after the names with ‘/’… there are also ‘√’ representing someone arrived and ‘×’ representing someone didn't report… and, ‘√’ and ‘×’ are both irregular, which is a bit contradictory…"

Lin Yi pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something.

"No! Not contradictory!"

"First of all, regardless of life or death, as long as the person who didn't sign in is marked with ‘×’ in that record."

"Then, the dead will turn into pseudo-humans... When they return to the classroom, they still have to sign in with the student identity of 'pseudo-human experience student'. When the homeroom teacher sees them, they can just cross out their names..."

This seems to answer that question.

"Then the rest... are all names circled."

In this way, the situation is actually very clear.

Names with nothing on them represent "can leave";

Names with circles around them represent "polluters who have mastered extraordinary power and stand on the side of humanity";

And the last kind, whose names have been crossed out, represent "pseudo-humans and night-stalkers", while "√" and "×" only indicate the sign-in status, used to assist in judging the students' safety status.

Lin Yi felt that he understood, and this might be the answer.

"Next, I can study the H manga!" Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes falling on the H manga Wei Liang gave him.

《A Magical Girl Who Made a Promise with a Geoduck》...

《The Iai of the Sword Maiden》

《Super Showdown!!! Cheng Yaojin VS Ximen Qing》

...

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

The corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched fiercely: "No, the first two are fine, but what the hell is this?"

He pointed to the book "Super Showdown!!! Cheng Yaojin VS Ximen Qing", his expression very strange, especially that male philosophical symbol, it was as if it was about to fly out of the book cover and slap him in the face!

Wei Liang was disturbed by Lin Yi and looked over with some confusion, then said indifferently: "That was what I found for Li Huiyuan yesterday, I forgot to return it... Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Wait... Oh crap!" Wei Liang's expression suddenly changed, and he snatched the book away, "Damn, are you going to have your philosophical soul activated by this book?!"

Lin Yi: "..."

"Get lost! Whoever wants to read this can read it!" Lin Yi said with a dark face, but then he thought, could this fellow Liang have some trick up his sleeve again? So he reached out and said, "Give me the book, I'll return it."

"You...?" Wei Liang was dubious.

"Hey, give it here!" Lin Yi reached out and snatched the book back, then grabbed the other books on the table, "I'll go exchange them for some to read."

Wei Liang was stunned for a moment: "Exchange them for some to read? Did I hear wrong?"

Lin Yi: "..."

"Get lost! I think you're the one who likes men!"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he walked towards the bookshelf in the back row with the stack of books.

Just then, the classroom door was opened again, and Lin Yi subconsciously glanced at it, his footsteps stopping.

The person who entered the classroom was actually Mountain Man.

"Did he really finish breakfast so quickly and come back?" Lin Yi was a little surprised. Mountain Man's clothes were a little dirty, and he didn't seem to have changed into the school uniform prepared for them because of some reason.

Suddenly, Lin Yi's pupils narrowed slightly.

Mountain Man's hand... actually had another bag!

"Did he dig out another bag? What's in it this time?"

Mountain Man's two bags combine to form an exoskeleton, but now... there's actually another bag?

Others are here to be experience students, is Mountain Man here to play a card collecting game?

Huh?

Collect five bags and summon a Dark Archmage?

Lin Yi couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

At this time, Mountain Man finished signing in, but unfortunately, due to the distance, he couldn't hear what Mountain Man said.

At this time, he glanced at Song Rentou and found that Song Rentou was also focusing his attention on Mountain Man, and Song Rentou's gaze seemed to be staring straight at Mountain Man's third bag, as if there was something amazing inside.

Lin Yi withdrew his attention, came to the bookshelf area, and stood in a position where he couldn't be seen, secretly observing Mountain Man.

He carefully recalled it, but he couldn't remember how many bags Mountain Man had in his hands at the time.

It seemed like he was carrying one on his back and holding one... or maybe he was holding two.

He didn't look carefully at first, but now when he recalls it, it feels like both situations are very similar, like quantum memory...

Mountain Man, who had stepped down from the podium, seemed to sense something and suddenly looked in the direction of Song Rentou, then revealed a very aggressive sneer.

Seeing this, Lin Yi turned around and walked deeper into the bookshelf area as if he had predicted it.

At this time, Mountain Man's gaze moved away from Song Rentou and turned to where he was originally, and in the depths of his eyes, it seemed as if a ray of light flashed.

"..." After being silent for a while, Mountain Man found a seat and sat down.

Lin Yi continued to observe Mountain Man through the gap in the bookshelf.

He saw Mountain Man unzip the zipper of his miserable-looking windbreaker and took out a pocket watch from the inside pocket, then took out another pocket watch from the pocket of his camouflage pants.

He first glanced at the pendulum clock above the blackboard, then opened the covers of the two pocket watches and put them together to look at them, then took out a notebook with a cowhide cover from the interlayer of his backpack, opened it and recorded something...

He found that Mountain Man's two pocket watches each had a metal chain connecting them to the windbreaker and camouflage pants pockets, as if to distinguish them.

"Why does he carry two watches?" Lin Yi wondered, "Is the time inaccurate?"

He subconsciously glanced at his watch.

8:33.

He glanced at the time on the pendulum clock again.

"8:33"

The time is the same.

"One watch is enough... Could it be that his watches are inaccurate?"

Lin Yi didn't want to think too much about it. Mountain Man had too many secrets, and there were too few clues that could be obtained from a distance. Anyway, he wouldn't have too much interaction with him, so let it be.

So he leaned against the bookshelf, put the books at hand on the empty space on the bookshelf, then picked up the book "Super Showdown!!! Cheng Yaojin VS Ximen Qing", with a spirit of scientific inquiry and a calm state, slowly opened the book cover...

Since Wei Liang specially gave it to Li Huiyuan, he didn't believe there weren't some strange clues inside.

So... he flipped through the book little by little, and after only a few pages, the atmosphere full of masculine energy was as if onions and garlic were mixed together and mashed into a paste on his face, the spiciness making his tears almost flow out.

I can't stand it anymore!

I really can't stand it at all!!

Lin Yi felt uncomfortable all over, feeling like he was about to vomit out his overnight meal.

Just then, he heard the sound of books falling to the ground and the pages opening in the distance.
