Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Although he knew that Kuai Kuai had gone to the Barren Lands to stir up trouble yesterday, he still felt a strange sense of reversed cause and effect when Kuai Kuai said it now.

How did it feel like my actions had been predicted long ago?

Did Kuai Kuai even prepare a day in advance for this?

No way?

He suddenly felt a chill in his bones, and the cold air on his back was even more pronounced.

However, this coldness was not only because his actions were predicted, but also because each step of their actions felt like they were meticulously planned...

However, he was in the middle of the game, and every decision was influenced by his own will, so how could he be controlled?

His lips trembled a few times, and he hissed in the cold air. He vaguely felt that the invisible hand in the dark seemed to be wielding the power of irresistible "fate", manipulating everyone's destiny.

Kuai Hongji didn't think so much, he just said coldly: "I'll bring it to you later. Don't go into the classroom after you get there, wait for me to come."

"No need..." Lin Yi stopped Kuai Hongji, "The Green Forest Zone is close to Building A, it's better for me to find you."

Kuai Hongji looked at Lin Yi like he was an idiot, and said speechlessly: "You don't need to go through Building A if you're not going to the Barren Lands, are you stupid? If it's just the Green Forest Zone, you can enter from Group B's side."

"Oh, right, right..." Lin Yi suddenly realized, "My bad, I'm bewitched."

"So I'll come find you." Kuai Hongji said, "I'll be at the廊桥near Class 1 of Group B. After you get the 'Extraordinary Material', go do something else."

"I'll go there too." Tian Bufan said, "I'm responsible for getting the puppet's school uniform. Before the explosion, the puppet shouldn't act abnormally."

Lin Yi was stunned again.

For some reason, when Kuai Hongji said he was responsible for getting the extraordinary material, and Tian Bufan said he was responsible for getting the school uniform, he had a strange sense of déjà vu, like some famous international counterfeit money gang was conspiring, talking about acid-free paper and color-changing ink and other incomprehensible things...

Damn, what a strong sense of fate... The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched again and again, and the hissing cold air was more like air conditioning refrigeration.

"After you assemble it, Kuai Kuai and I will walk towards Building A, you go to Group C, and then I will act according to the situation."

"Okay." Lin Yi nodded.

"Then let's start acting." Tian Bufan said.

"Wait a minute!" An untimely voice suddenly sounded.

Lin Yi was stunned, this didn't seem to be their voice.

"Wait a minute!" The voice sounded again, this time, Lin Yi discovered the source of the voice - a passage beside the cafeteria.

"Wait a minute, don't go!" The voice got closer.

Wei Shan suddenly groaned, his eyes swept over like a giant bear, with a strong look of vigilance in his eyes, his body faintly tense...

Lin Yi looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a blue-aproned chef rushing towards him on a rugged path.

The way he looked, was a bit like the Earth God pulling his skirt and shouting loudly at the Great Sage from afar.

"Blue-aproned chef?" A strange look flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. He looked around a few times and saw that there were many trainee students like passers-by nearby, so he wasn't sure who the blue-aproned chef was calling to.

Of course, this uncertainty was immediately dispelled, and he also realized that the other party's target was indeed him.

What surprised him even more was that this blue-aproned chef was actually the black-aproned chef he had seen at the employee通道side at the beginning, but for some reason, when he appeared, the color of the apron had changed to blue.

Could it be like Old Mo, who usually looks blue, but is black at critical moments? Lin Yi pondered for a while. With Old Mo's example in front, he didn't feel anything wrong at the moment.

Soon the blue-aproned chef came to him: "Hello, um... about Old Mo, there are some things I want to ask you, I don't know if it's convenient for you to come over?"

As soon as he heard Old Mo's name, Lin Yi immediately put down some of his vigilance: "What's the matter?"

The blue-aproned chef looked at Tian Bufan and others, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Ah, this... here, it's a bit inconvenient..."

Lin Yi frowned slightly. He had just finished planning things with Young Master Tian, and now this was happening... it really made him a little embarrassed.

Although Old Mo had never told him anything related to the cafeteria, Old Mo had gone through thick and thin with him for a while, and now facing people and things related to Old Mo, he couldn't just ignore them.

At this moment, Tian Bufan said: "You go, it will take time for Kuai Kuai to prepare things anyway, come directly to us after you're done."

Seeing this, Lin Yi no longer hesitated and decisively agreed to the blue-aproned chef's request: "Okay, let's go."

"Please follow me." The blue-aproned chef said, and then led the way.

Lin Yi followed in real time.

Looking at the direction of Lin Yi's back, Wei Shan's eyes shifted to the blue-aproned chef. He gritted his teeth, his throat faintly making heavy breaths, and said in a low voice: "That person has a problem."

"I know." Tian Bufan said.

Wei Shan said in a low voice: "I know you know he has a problem, but Old Lin doesn't."

"Old Lin just hasn't reacted yet." Tian Bufan said calmly, "Let's go, go back to the teaching building, rest well, you'll be busy tonight."

Wei Shan still stared at Lin Yi's side with some unease, until Tian Bufan patted him on the shoulder, his tense body slowly relaxed.

"Let's go." Tian Bufan said lightly, and then walked away on his own.

Kuai Hongji smiled sinisterly: "Fatty, don't waste your energy on meaningless things."

Disturbed by Kuai Hongji, Wei Shan immediately became annoyed, and his violent temper suddenly rose: "Then I'll save my energy to tear you apart!"

"I'm so scared!" Kuai Hongji said with a sinister smile, and then followed Tian Bufan like a skinny horse.

Wei Liang was holding a notice board, looking left at Lin Yi, looking right at Tian Bufan and Kuai Hongji, and then looking at Wei Shan.

He pondered for a second, and then decisively ran after Tian Bufan and Kuai Hongji: "Hey, slow down, I haven't gotten on the bus yet!"

...

May 10, X023, 11:56, cafeteria area, on the cobblestone road leading to other passages.

"...That's it, Old Mo has always been taciturn, yesterday he suddenly explained a lot of things and then left..." The blue-aproned chef led the way while絮絮叨叨telling Lin Yi everything related to Old Mo.

As he was talking, the area around his neck suddenly twitched coldly, like a part had gotten stuck, and then he continued to speak.

When he got to the crucial point, he couldn't help but sigh, wearing a pained expression as if to say, "I can't understand why he had to do that."

【Lin Yi…】

Just as the chef in the blue apron was speaking, Lin Yi suddenly heard a call in his ear, the source of which he couldn't quite place.

【Lin Yi…】

The voice rang out again, as if it was floating from nearby…

He suddenly realized something and abruptly looked towards… the first basement level of the cafeteria, following the source of the sound.

The call actually came from there.

But this kind of call was the same as the call he heard in the student tunnel. How could the call from the first basement level of the cafeteria spread there?

Unless it was…

「Layer penetration?」

When he thought of this, the content mentioned in the cafeteria rules flashed through his mind like lightning: 【At any time, do not pay attention to the strange noises from the first basement level of the cafeteria, even if what you hear is a call to your name.】

The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

So, after all this time, this is what the 「call from the first basement level of the cafeteria」 is?

「Then didn't I ‘pay attention’ to it not long ago?!」

「Damn…」

Lin Yi thought to himself, could it be that I have forcibly ‘adapted’ to the problems that arise after violating the rules?!

「Or perhaps, with my own level of contamination, I may have already covered this rule…」

“Lao Mo has always been like this…” The chef in the blue apron was still rambling on about something, but Lin Yi noticed that every time he turned back to look at himself, his eyes would sweep over his backpack, and then, a kind of light seemed to flash in the depths of his eyes.

It was very strong, but also very restrained.

Suddenly, the chef in the blue apron's neck twitched again without warning, but he himself didn't seem to notice anything and continued to speak.

“…So, Lao Mo really… encountered some misfortune?” The chef in the blue apron finally asked this question.

When he asked this question, the chef in the blue apron's voice trembled non-stop, but Lin Yi's perception was so敏锐. His 「Vision Domain Insight」 didn't even need to look at the target head-on to observe the other party's expressions and details.

He discovered that when the chef in the blue apron was trembling and speaking with his body turned to the side, there was an extremely strong color of “excited anticipation” hidden beneath the “fear and worry”…

Lao Mo's departure seemed to have caused a strong sense of joy and excitement to arise in the heart of this chef in the blue apron.

Something's not right, something's very wrong… Lin Yi silently scratched his forehead, and while scratching his head, his eyes slowly turned into a brilliant gold color.

He blessed his own 「Perception」 onto 「Vision Domain Insight」.

「Buzz…」

His vision twisted slightly, and he immediately saw the overlapping shadow behind the chef in the blue apron—a chef in a green apron with a gloomy face!

That chef in the green apron was draped over the chef in the blue apron like a transparent gauze. His appearance was sinister and evil, and his eyes were staring intently at Lao Mo's backpack behind Lin Yi. His entire body was green and glowing as if it could emit light.

That chef in the green apron was controlling the chef in the blue apron like a puppeteer. His body was connected to the chef in the blue apron by countless lotus root-like substances, which enabled him to influence the chef in the blue apron's actions with every move, but such actions looked a bit awkward.

Finally, under its lead, Lin Yi arrived at the entrance to another passage.

Just as the chef in the blue apron wanted to lead Lin Yi inside, Lin Yi stopped.

The chef in the blue apron was stunned for a moment. The muscles on his face twitched in an extremely stiff manner. “Why, why did you stop…? Come in with me, quickly, quickly…”

He didn't understand why Lin Yi had stopped, so he had to wave at Lin Yi, like a gloomy human doll in a horror movie.

Lin Yi didn't speak, but silently bent down and picked up an arm from the ground and handed it to the chef in the blue apron.

“Look how excited you are, you even dropped your arm…”

The chef in the blue apron was stunned on the spot. His eyes stared straight at the arm in Lin Yi's hand, and the expression on his face also froze.

“You…”

As soon as he opened his mouth, his neck twitched uncontrollably again.

Lin Yi didn't seem to notice anything wrong and handed the arm to the chef in the blue apron, but he himself didn't cross the boundary and enter the other passage.

The chef in the blue apron was stunned for a while, and then silently stretched out his intact hand and grasped his own arm.

But just as he grasped his arm, Lin Yi suddenly exerted force and yanked him out of the other passage!

The chef in the green apron realized that something was wrong and decisively controlled the chef in the blue apron to let go, but its “manipulation” was ultimately delayed, and such a delay was enough for Lin Yi to achieve his goal.

When the chef in the blue apron was pulled out of the other passage, Lin Yi grabbed his collar, turned around, and threw him out with a back throw.

「Thump!」

The chef in the blue apron drew an arc in the air and then crashed heavily onto the uneven cobblestone road.

Such a collision seemed to disrupt the chef in the green apron's control over this body. Through 「Vision Domain Insight」 and perception, Lin Yi saw the chef in the blue apron struggling to get up from the ground with great difficulty in the layer he was in, but the chef in the blue apron as the body was still struggling on the ground. That appearance was a bit like a puppet with tangled strings.

“What are you doing?” The chef in the blue apron roared at Lin Yi while struggling, but his limbs were uncoordinated, and he couldn't even support himself, let alone stand up.

Lin Yi didn't approach the chef in the blue apron, but walked to a place not far from him and looked at him, and also looked at the chef in the green apron who was like a double shadow.

Then, he played with the arm in his hand, lost in thought.

「In the cafeteria, the chef in the green apron and the chef in the blue apron are clearly distinct. I only saw such a double shadow on that cafeteria aunt at first…」

「What kind of state does this chef in the green apron belong to?」

He actually suspected a bit whether the guy in front of him was that kind of deeply contaminated chef in the blue apron.

Just like the interns who have been contaminated, green powdery particles will emerge on their bodies, and the green powdery particles will be even more concentrated in interns whose spirits are extremely abnormal after deep contamination.

Then, could it be that green powdery particles are actually an incomplete state of observation?
