Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt a chill constantly roaming through his body, circling along his spine, causing a layer of fine cold sweat to break out on his back.

He suddenly realized that he had fallen into a huge cognitive misunderstanding. Due to preconceived notions, he subconsciously didn't think of the convenience store as a unit that would pose a threat or "hostility" to him.

Because the convenience store owner was at least a combat force of the school, and the convenience store owner seemed to have a good relationship with the Night Watch and Lao Mo, he had no vigilance against the convenience store owner at all. But what if—

What if the convenience store owner didn't buy his story?

Any interpersonal relationship, as long as it's not the most direct connection, will have all sorts of problems once a person is added in the middle!

Who exactly is the convenience store owner?

The last line of defense for the school district!

An existence who could directly dissuade the 'Ash Apostle' (concept-level sculpture) without losing!

He himself is already a transcendent entity of the 'Supreme Judgment' level, so how could he possibly take Lin Yi seriously?

Lao Mo and the Night Watch seem to be individuals, but in reality, they are already humanoid transcendent beings. They are of the same kind as the convenience store owner, while he is just a person!

Uh, no, that's not right. He actually… seems… after tempering his bones into a golden body, he's not exactly a normal person anymore, but it seems he's not the same kind of person as the convenience store owner either.

"In the eyes of the convenience store owner, wouldn't I just be a courier responsible for transporting 'Lao Mo's heart'?"

The convenience store owner ships from the clock tower of the art building and receives the goods from the convenience store in the school cafeteria, while he, Lin Yi, has become a… worker?

Plus, it's impossible for the convenience store owner not to have Lao Mo's vision, so he must have regarded him as a power bank. So… this courier, delivered himself to the door?

"Damn it… this isn't happening, is it?"

Moreover, the security guard seemed to have realized something, so from the beginning, he "ordered" him in his subconscious mind to ignore the existence of the cafeteria and choose to go to the teaching building as soon as he returned to the school!

Although, after he arrived at the school district, there were two choices. One was to follow the security guard and the black apron chef's team to the cafeteria, because the black apron chef would return to the cafeteria one hundred percent. After he arrived at the cafeteria, he could wait there for the cafeteria to open; the other was to go to the teaching building to get the dictionary left by the homeroom teacher - 039.

And at that time, the most rational approach was the second one, but the unreasonable part was precisely here.

It's true that he went to get the dictionary, but before he went, why didn't he even consider the question of "should I go to the cafeteria first" at all?

Is it "didn't have" or "he didn't have this option"?!

As everyone knows, the PE teacher has the power to "order", and the security guard also has similar abilities, and the Night Watch has taken this ability to the extreme.

And before the security guard separated from him, there was a very imperceptible performance of "ordering"…

Lin Yi clearly remembered that the security guard took him and Zhao Lingxiao to the nearest lamppost and then issued an eviction order:

"This is the school district. It's almost dawn, and they don't dare to be too unscrupulous… You follow the corresponding rules, and you can return to the teaching building."

【You can return to the teaching building】, this is a suggestion, but what if this is not a "suggestion" but an "order"?

The security guard erased his subconscious thoughts about the cafeteria, and he happened to have the idea of going to the teaching building, so the whole process suddenly became "smooth".

Could it be that the cafeteria at that point was extremely dangerous?

It is indeed dangerous. From a layer perspective, even now, the layer where the convenience store is located is extremely dangerous.

And the most dangerous entity in the cafeteria, could it be not the strange, but the convenience store owner?

Just like a father taking care of a child, the father is safest when it is dangerous, and the father is most dangerous when it is safe.

And during the seemingly safest daytime, the most dangerous entity in the safe cafeteria becomes… the convenience store owner?!

"But… the logic is wrong!" Lin Yi felt that something was wrong again, because there was another reason that caused him to trust the convenience store owner—the rules!

The rules related to the convenience store owner in the 《Student Handbook》, 《Cafeteria Rules》, 《Art Student Rules》, 《Convenience Store Notice》, etc., appeared in his mind…

《Student Handbook》:

“The convenience store is on the first floor of the cafeteria and has no owner. Just swipe your student ID at the self-service terminal when checking out. The convenience store only has daily necessities and food, no souvenirs, especially things labeled 'Student Commemorative Coins'. If you see someone claiming to be the convenience store owner, please leave the convenience store immediately.”

《Cafeteria Rules》:

“If you are unable to leave the cafeteria after violating the above rules, please go to the convenience store, persist until the convenience store owner appears, tell him the problems you encounter, and follow all the arrangements he gives you.

《Art Student Rules》:

“You can unconditionally trust the convenience store owner and ask him for help at any time.”

From the information in the rules, the existence of the convenience store owner has different manifestations depending on the depth of pollution. Basically, the deeper the pollution, the more you need to maintain trust in the convenience store owner.

So his trust is not wrong…

Could it be that because the convenience store owner was injured, there was a "If the product does not match the picture, the actual situation shall prevail"… damn change?

Lin Yi's mind raced, and these thoughts only occupied dozens of breaths. During this time, his body was still constantly resisting the pulling of the ashes on the door.

"Forget it, why think so much? If the convenience store owner is really determined to mess with me, even if I bury myself in the school district, I can be dug out!"

A ridiculous and laughable emotion suddenly rose in Lin Yi's heart. He was really worrying about nothing.

"Let's break the current predicament first!"

Lin Yi felt that this was the most real thing. Don't pretend that the convenience store owner is the enemy for a long time. As a result, when people come, they look at him as if they saw a mouse stuck to a sticky mouse board.

That would make people feel very abrupt and embarrassing!

As for the convenience store owner's situation, the ancients had already said it—

《Since you're here, you're here》

So he adjusted his state and released his perception towards the ashes…

To solve the crisis, the first thing is to deconstruct the crisis, or rather, deconstruct… the ashes.

If he could know what the ashes are made of, then things would be easy.

Before he became the "Ash Apostle", he couldn't imagine that his body could carry ashes, let alone imagine that one day he would try to deconstruct this terrifying substance.

What's even more absurd is that it hasn't been 24 hours since he eliminated the ashes.

And now, his "mission level" has been upgraded from "eliminating ashes" to "deconstructing ashes", and from the current situation, this seems to be a "success or failure" mission.

Besides, he had another conjecture... Therefore, he had no choice but to brace himself and take a risk to deconstruct the Ashes.

Thus, his consciousness seeped out along his body surface, condensing into countless invisible sensory tentacles, extending bit by bit towards the portion of Ashes behind him.

However, the moment his senses touched the Ashes, an indescribable stinging sensation permeated his consciousness along the sensory tentacles.

Lin Yi's pupils dilated slightly. In a trance, he seemed to see a fiery domain burning fiercely. Within the fiery domain, a scarlet python flicked its massive tongue as it lunged towards him.

"Boom—"

In reality, a massive fire wave surged upwards from the Ashes, devouring him like a gaping mouth.

"Crap!"

Lin Yi cursed inwardly, quickly removing his backpack and holding it as far away from himself as possible, lest it be affected by the flames of the Ashes.

In the next moment, the Ashes swept over his physical body with the force of a city-burning fire.

"Boom—"

Since Lin Yi's body could already withstand the Ashes, he wasn't burned immediately. However, the current Ashes were not ordinary Ashes, but rekindled flames!

Under the burning of the Ashes flames, Lin Yi's body began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming like a red-hot iron in just a few breaths.

His body became increasingly red, gradually becoming so translucent that one could see the blood vessels, muscle fibers, and even the stark skeleton within.

His senses also seemed to be ignited. A strong burning sensation permeated his consciousness, reaching the depths of his soul, making him feel as if his soul had been pulled out of his body and thrown into the Avici Hell.

This burning sensation was akin to sticking one's hand into a fire, but if it were just that, it would be fine. The key was that he was not only reaching into the flames but also disassembling iron blocks within the flames!

"Deconstruct the Ashes! I must deconstruct the Ashes!!"

Lin Yi roared incessantly in his heart, his burning sensory tentacles struggling constantly within the Ashes, desperately capturing the trajectory of all extraordinary power.

Ashes should be some kind of exceptionally advanced extraordinary power!

In theory, any energy can be deconstructed!

However, no matter how desperately he tried to capture the trajectory of the extraordinary power within the Ashes, the burning Ashes were as dazzling as fireworks, making it impossible for his sensory tentacles to approach even a fraction, and they were even incinerated the moment they came into contact with the Ashes.

"This approach is simply a drop in the bucket. My senses aren't even enough for the Ashes to burn!"

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, his face flushed red. Sweat beads the size of soybeans seeped from his forehead as if they were free, and his school uniform was already soaked with sweat.

Why is there no logic?!

Extraordinary... Even extraordinary power shouldn't be without logic!

Even 'Qi' should have its source and trajectory!

"'Source'?! That's it! Source!!"

"Wait... Wait!"

At the critical moment, Lin Yi's mind seemed to recall what Tian Bufan had once said—understand the rules, abide by the rules, become the rules, and then... transcend the rules!

"If you want to deconstruct the Ashes, you must first become the Ashes!"

"Become 'Ashes'!"

"That's it! That's it!!"

If he couldn't forcibly deconstruct it from the outside, then he would slowly feel it from the inside!

Therefore, he withdrew his sensory tentacles and stopped making futile struggles. Instead, he began to guide these Ashes into his body, merging them with the portion of Ashes he already carried...

This fusion process was not comfortable at all. In the end, it was a different kind of bearing. Lin Yi was directly attracting that part of the burning Ashes into his body.

As a result, the flesh and blood on his body were almost directly burned into Ashes in this fire, leaving only a golden skeleton wrapped around his internal organs and head, standing firm in the flames.

Like a naked Ghost Rider, or like a... "White Bone Husband".

His flesh and blood, as expected, could not withstand the burning Ashes, but his golden skeleton, after being tempered and polished by the high-level extraordinary creation—the Quantum Clock "Sanctuary", was no longer afraid of such flames.

Rather than saying that he was bearing the burning Ashes, it was better to say that his bones were hard enough to be impervious to burning.

And at this point, Lin Yi was very familiar with the next step—rebuilding his physical body!

Only this time, he had to mix the burning Ashes into the "raw materials"!

He began to reshape his physical body...

While reshaping, he felt the violent and destructive aura within the burning Ashes.

Gradually, the initial flesh and blood began to grow on his body surface. The muscle fibers were like the roots of ancient trees emerging from the soil, constantly spreading along the cracked earth, and then covering the entire body surface.

However, this growth process exuded a strange sense of imagery, and within the muscle fibers, a crimson-golden brilliance flowed, which was the light and heat emitted when the Ashes burned.

As the flesh and blood continued to regenerate, Lin Yi's body surface actually began to flow with a strange, diamond-like, dazzling brilliance.

From a distance, his body at this moment actually resembled a human-shaped outline pieced together from countless glass shards...

"This... I...?"

Lin Yi raised his arm in front of him, repeatedly observing the glass and diamond-textured flesh and blood displayed under the burning Ashes, and his heart was filled with indescribable horror and shock.

Because he had already seen such a scene, on that "Ashes Apostle", that "Conceptual Sculpture"!

"This, this is... How could it be...? !"

Just then, he suddenly heard the familiar and unfamiliar sound of a train speeding through a tunnel close to his face.

"Clang, clang, clang...! !"

"Clang, clang, clang...! !"

Unlike before, this time the sound was more intense and rapid than ever before.

His mind was in a daze, and a illusory mirage appeared before his eyes. He felt as if he had been thrown into a sunroom like a maze filled with disordered mirrors and glass, and countless disordered lights and shadows were arranged and combined before him...

He couldn't feel gravity or sound. The whole world was so quiet that it seemed that only the sound of breathing remained.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

He felt like he was moving in some corridor...

But he had no footsteps, at least, he couldn't hear his own footsteps.

In this chaotic world, he floated forward, eventually stopping in front of a door.

He looked at the door number.

"Group B, Class 2".
