Rules-related weird stories: 4016

It wasn't until the little genius sculpture turned and left that Lin Yi, who was slumped on the ground, suddenly realized he had confused a few issues:

"Was the clothing on the little genius sculpture part of the sculpture from the beginning?"

"If that's the little genius sculpture... then where is Liangzi?"

And the most crucial point is:

"明明 是 小天 才 的 雕塑 ， 为 什么 在 它 没 有 转过 身来 之前 ， 我 一直 都 认为 它 是 亮子 ？"

"Is this sea breeze interfering with my 'perception' of Liangzi?"

Lin Yi struggled to get up from the ground, battling the stinky sea breeze. The little genius sculpture was still walking ahead of him.

Lin Yi looked at its back and suddenly realized that when he had previously mistaken it for Wei Liang, he hadn't sensed much danger.

But when it turned around and he faced it directly, that intense sense of crisis slammed into his face along with the sea breeze, making him feel ice-cold all over.

"Where did Liangzi go?!" This question suddenly jumped into his mind. He looked at the little genius sculpture and suddenly realized that the road the little genius sculpture was walking on... didn't lead to the gymnasium.

He was stunned.

"No gymnasium?"

He quickly turned around.

There was no teaching building behind him.

Not only was there no teaching building, but even the notice board in front of the gymnasium had disappeared.

There was nothing around him.

Only the wind.

Endless, stinky sea wind.

Blowing from the unknown front, towards his back.

"Wait... !" He seemed to realize something and couldn't help but look around again.

Then, he swallowed hard, his entire body frozen in place.

There were no streetlights around him.

Not even a single, lonely streetlight pole.

Not only were there no streetlight poles, but there were also no flowers, trees, or anything else.

In his entire world, there was only the little genius sculpture and the endless gale. It seemed that only following the little genius sculpture was the only correct path.

Just as he was feeling lost, a deep rumble of thunder suddenly sounded from the depths of the sky.

"Rumble——"

Lin Yi looked up at the sky. The clouds were very low, as if they were about to collapse.

Thick and dense clouds pressed down darkly, and a terrifying eye of the storm slowly formed in the depths of the cloud sea, like the cold eyes of the heavens opening, indifferently watching everything below.

There was nothing below.

Only him.

Only Lin Yi.

Lin Yi, looking up at the sky, seemed to be staring at the eye of the storm that overlooked the earth.

The huge and deep vortex twisted all the light and shadow, distorting the entire world that Lin Yi saw in his eyes.

The gale seemed to have lines, the earth seemed to have contours, and under Lin Yi's feet was a twisted road.

It was as if someone had pulled a thread from a tangled ball of yarn and tossed it into the storm, trembling constantly with the storm.

Lin Yi felt a strong sense of dizziness. The dim world inexplicably turned into an irregular prism, and colorful light and shadow filled his vision along with the lines of the world, filling his brain.

He felt his head was very heavy and sinking, and his limbs began to weaken, uncontrollably rolling to the ground.

He subconsciously reached out to support his falling body, and the ground suddenly caved in like cotton candy.

His face pressed heavily against the ground. The ground, which had originally felt like cotton candy, suddenly hit his face like a boxer's fist, causing him to see stars and gasp for breath in pain.

But as soon as he inhaled, the stinky sea breeze mixed with the smell of decay filled his lungs. He felt a strong urge to vomit, but the more he wanted to vomit, the more sea breeze he inhaled.

He felt like he was going to suffocate in the sea breeze.

Only the sound of the wind remained in his ears.

He felt the world was moving away from him... No, he seemed to have already been abandoned by the world.

Only the sea breeze remained, stinky, dirty, chaotic, decayed...

He was about to lose consciousness. He heard a faint, distant song in the hunting sea breeze, like a siren singing as the waves crashing against the reefs...

The sea is singing.

The abyss is calling.

Darkness... is embracing him.

"Boom——Crack——"

Thunder roared, and pure white light tore through the chaotic world, reflecting Lin Yi's disheveled face.

Lin Yi's dark eyes saw the thunder in the sky, as if ignited by fire. His originally distracted eyes refocused.

The thunder shattered the darkness, shocking Lin Yi.

He struggled to get up from the ground, and then vigorously tapped his head, like a skilled master tapping an old closed-circuit television at a 45-degree angle.

The snowflakes in the closed-circuit television disappeared, and the signal was restored.

Lin Yi's thoughts also gradually became clear.

In the depths of the sky, muffled thunder rumbled, and the gale was still blowing.

The eye of the storm was gathering even more deeply.

He had a premonition about something.

"It's going to rain..."

This is the final calm before the storm.

Lin Yi struggled to stand in the sea breeze. After reconfirming the environment, he had to force himself to accept a fact:

He had left the only road leading to the gymnasium. The road he was on now was the "road without streetlights" that was heavily emphasized in the gymnasium notice board.

[There is only one road to the gymnasium, and streetlights are installed on the road (with streetlight numbers). Do not step on roads without streetlights.]

But obviously, "no streetlights" was just one criterion for judging whether you were on "this road."

This road not only had no streetlights, but it also had nothing at all.

"Rumble..."

The deep thunder god hovered in the sky, seemingly reminding him that it was going to rain.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and constantly reminded himself of the part of the rules related to the gymnasium in his mind.

First, [The construction location of the gymnasium is a bit special, and the wind will be a bit strong. Don't worry, it's normal as long as there is no rain and fog.]

Second, [If you find that it is raining on the way to the gymnasium, please decide where to go based on the first building you see...]

"There are only these two related to the gymnasium, and the rest are all coping methods for abnormal weather."

"But even those options under abnormal weather do not include 'There are no buildings around when you look around!'"

Those four options corresponded to seeing the gymnasium, the teaching building, a Western-style castle, and other buildings besides the castle on a rainy day.

The only situation that could be related to his current situation was the fourth situation:

[If you do not see any buildings other than the castle, please follow the instructions in the "Student Handbook" to find the nearest streetlight, hug this streetlight tightly, and wait for the physical education teacher or security guard to appear.]

But... there are no streetlights around him now!

"Wait, what was the rule about finding streetlights in the Student Handbook again?"

Lin Yi's mind spun rapidly, but the sense of crisis was too strong. In order to avoid omissions, he could only recite from the first rule until——

[If you cannot find a numbered streetlight immediately, please look down at the ground under your feet and look for any reference object that can confirm that you are still on the road. If you find that the ground is twisting, stretching, or showing any illogical changes, please quickly hold your student ID and map tightly in your hands and repeatedly remind yourself of your name and student number. Remember that you are a student [This sentence is bolded and underlined]]

"Please look down at the ground under your feet and look for any reference object that can confirm that you are still on the 'road'…"

Lin Yi's eyeballs moved quickly from side to side, and he repeated two words in his mouth: "Road!"

Road! Road! Road!

So! This must at least be a "road"!

"Road! Reference object! Road! Reference object!!"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, but he couldn't grasp this inspiration at the first time!

He kept grabbing his hair, and a look of painful thought appeared on his face.

The sea breeze was even stronger, and an icy aura spread from the direction of the little genius sculpture, as if a layer of frost had spread on the ground.

Along with the appearance of frost, a faint mist emerged from nowhere, gradually submerging the figure of the little genius sculpture, and then slowly spreading towards Lin Yi...

The sea breeze was blowing very tightly, but the speed of the fog was not affected in any way.

This strange scene revealed a strong sense of conflict, but Lin Yi only glanced at it and retracted his gaze.

Only one piece of information remained in his mind: The construction location of the gymnasium is a bit special, and the wind will be a bit strong. Don't worry, it's normal as long as there is no rain and fog.

It's normal as long as there is no rain and fog.

It's not normal if there is rain and fog.

And now... it's foggy!

He instantly thought of the situation when he had just entered the campus last night. At that time, the fog was very thick, the streetlights were not yet lit, and he had encountered a very strange female teacher and a group of people dressed as students.

Something seemed to be lurking in the fog, but as long as he turned his back to them, he would not encounter any danger.

"No, no, no! It's not that there is no danger if you turn your back to them, but... there is no danger if you don't look back."

And the premise of not looking back is to walk towards a streetlight or something else.

There were no streetlights, and if something accompanied by the fog came looking for him, he couldn't guarantee that something wouldn't appear in front of him.

If, at that moment, it wasn't a streetlight in front of him, then who knows what he might encounter upon turning back; it might very well be standing right in front of him.

In such thick fog, the probability of bumping into a figure ahead… might not be small at all!

The faint mist grew closer and closer, quickly spreading across the ground at his feet.

"What to do, what to do, what to do…"

Lin Yi clutched his hair in agony, clearly feeling that his IQ was failing him.

The fog at his feet continued to accumulate, and the fog at the end of the road grew thicker and thicker, vaguely resembling overlapping mountain ranges, pressing down on him.

“A road… a reference point! A reference point!!”

“This is a road, this is a road…”

He muttered incessantly, his brain spinning rapidly, like a sputtering old tractor.

He relentlessly pursued the inspiration in his mind, constantly repeating the phrase that sparked it.

The newest and most complete novels are first published on 69shu!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

“This is a road, at least it's a road!”

“And the reason it can be defined as a ‘road’ is because…”

He abruptly squatted down, pressing his hand onto his left foot, which was wearing a shoe…

His gaze was fixed on the shoe on his left foot, and then, he slowly moved it away…

In the spot where the sole of his shoe had been, there were several cobblestones.

The instant he saw these cobblestones, a look of intense joy appeared in Lin Yi’s eyes.

All the roads within the campus were paved with cobblestones.

Even if the whole world disappeared, even if all he had left were these few cobblestones beneath his feet, it was enough to prove that he was still “on the road”!

[Please look down and stare intently at the ground beneath your feet, searching for any reference point that can confirm you are still on the road.]

He felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and he lay on the ground, protecting the cobblestones as if they were family heirlooms.

He welded his gaze to these cobblestones, and then suddenly realized that there was a huge problem with them.

All cobblestones should be oval, but the ones in front of him were irregular, as if some strange force had distorted their original shape!

But Lin Yi looked at the patterns on the cobblestones with fervent eyes.

The cobblestones were twisted and deformed, like a mad world.

Like… the world he was seeing!

“Whoosh —”

The sea breeze howled in his ears, and the song of distant sirens seemed to echo in the wind.

“Rumble —”

Thunder rumbled overhead, and the eye of the storm seemed to devour the entire world.

“Huff… Huff…”

The fog spread and condensed, like waves or tides, one wave overlapping another, slowly advancing, surging towards him.

“Sea breeze! Cobblestones!”

He pressed his palm tightly against the surface of the cobblestones, feeling the twisted texture, and slowly closed his eyes…

The dense white fog spread and slowly enveloped him…

“My name is Lin Yi, my student ID is X0230506098, I am on my way to the gymnasium…”

He constantly muttered to himself to strengthen his belief, while forcing himself to relax, touching the texture of the cobblestones and sensing the direction of the sea breeze.

Gradually, he turned from facing the sea breeze to having his back to it.

Then, his palm slowly pushed forward along a certain pattern on the cobblestones…

“My name is Lin Yi, my student ID is X0230506098, I am on my way to the gymnasium…”

He whispered constantly.

Just as his palm left this cobblestone, his fingertips touched a brand new cobblestone ahead…

This cobblestone was still twisted, but the degree of distortion was obviously not as outrageous as the previous one.

His heart filled with joy, knowing that his deduction was correct.

He used both hands, his eyes tightly closed, feeling the push of the sea breeze on his back, and crawled forward, touching the cobblestones.

Suddenly…

He heard a “rustling” sound in his ears.

He suddenly stopped moving, arching his back warily, his whole body slowly tensing up, the whole person like a blind leopard.

“Rustle, rustle…”

He could feel such sounds constantly coming from all around, as if someone was dragging a stone across the ground.

He paused, then reached into his pocket and clutched his student ID tightly in his palm.

Then he held his breath and continued to roar in his heart—

“My name is Lin Yi! My student ID is X0230506098! I am on my way to the gymnasium!”

“Rustle, rustle—”

The sound of stones rubbing against the ground around him became louder and louder, and he seemed to sense cold stones brushing against his body.

The hairs on his arms stood on end.

He roared even louder in his heart.

And the “rustling” sounds around him became even denser.

He seemed to sense something reaching out from behind him, then hovering above his shoulder, seemingly hesitant to fall because of some kind of fear.

“Rumble—”

A dull thunder sounded, and the eye of the storm let out a joyous roar.

“Drip… drop… drip… drop…”

“Drip!”

A drop of rain fell on Lin Yi's body.

Just a drop of rain, like a cold bullet, made his body spasm subconsciously!

A strong aura of death instantly enveloped him, and his scalp suddenly went numb—he sensed that the thing hovering above his shoulder had slapped down at this moment!

“Rain!!!”

“It's rain!!!”

“The rain has made me lose the effect of ‘not being attacked’!!!”

Lin Yi felt a chill down his spine, and his limbs lost contact with his brain in an instant.

“Damn it! 草拟吗!”

He roared in his heart, and his limbs suddenly returned to his control!

“My name is Lin Yi! My student ID is X0230506098!”

He exerted force with his arms and pushed out with his legs, letting himself slide out of the way along the cobblestones!

“I'm on my way to the gymnasium!!”

The cobblestones, which were clearly only the size of a shoe print, seemed to automatically appear in front of Lin Yi's hands endlessly, really allowing him to slide out!

Just as he slid out, there was a "thump!" sound of collision from his original position.

It sounded like someone had raised a stone and smashed it on the ground.

It was impossible to imagine what it would be like to be hit by that kind of thing!

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not daring to breathe, not daring to open his eyes, and not daring to stop in the slightest.

He gritted his teeth and continued to crawl forward, touching the cobblestones, the aura of death closely hunting him, the "rustling" turned into a "gurgling" sound, wrapping around him from all directions!

Lin Yi's body was like a swimming dragon, like a lizard crawling along the cobblestones.

“My name is Lin Yi, my student ID is X0230506098, I am on my way to the gymnasium…”

“My name is Lin Yi, my student ID is X0230506098, I am on my way to the gymnasium…”

His will was as firm as iron, and his movements were as erratic as a god!

Until the distorted touch of the cobblestones continued to correct itself, and finally turned into a normal oval shape.

He still didn't open his eyes.

He was still crawling!

But gradually, he found that the sea breeze that brought a strong push on his back became much weaker.

He found that the "rustling" sounds constantly faded in his ears, until they completely disappeared…

That strange aura of death also disappeared somehow…

He felt a little warmth on his back.

“My name is Lin Yi, my student ID is X0230506098, I am on my way to the gymnasium…” He slowly opened his eyes.

He found that he was lying on the cobblestone road, and in the corner of his eye was the shape of a streetlight pole.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly noticed a pair of feet wrapped in super thick socks in his field of vision.

He was slightly stunned, then slowly looked up.

“What's wrong with you? I just walked two steps faster, did you have to pounce over and kiss my feet?”

Wei Liang looked down at him with a strange expression, with a blue sky behind his head.

The sun was shining brightly in the blue sky.

5200 words is my love for you! I won't say anything else, I'll add more than 1000 words to celebrate the alliance leader "Full Moon and Clear Radiance"! There are still less than 8000 words away from 10,000 words. This chapter was really difficult to write. I revised it many times at the beginning, but after the feeling came, I was afraid that the inspiration would disappear, so I stayed up until now! I gritted my teeth and finished coding it, then added a little bit more! Because if I don't write this plot, and drag it to tomorrow, I feel that everyone will not be able to read it smoothly, and it will be stuck, boo hoo hoo, I am too conscientious…
