Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Lin Yi listened in complete silence.

He had guessed a little about the sculpture aspect, but compared to the information Tian Bufan had gathered, his information was a joke.

Lin Yi opened his mouth, feeling that whatever he said would seem pale and weak in the face of Tian Bufan's considerations, so he could only blurt out a cliché:

“Ninety-nine percent… you might as well say absolutely accurate then.”

Tian Bufan said disdainfully: “One hundred percent is too arrogant. It's not too late to draw a conclusion after I see it with my own eyes.”

He got up, patted his clothes, and then began to sort out his change of clothes.

The sound of water from Kuai Hongji's side had stopped.

“Oh, right, Lao Lin. After my observation today, I think there should be a transformation path between art students and sculptures.”

“This path should be: Art Student 'Normal' — Art Student 'Abnormal' — Non-human classmate — Sculpture.”

“Some of the observable characteristics shown by those non-human classmates are between abnormal art students and sculptures.”

“Yesterday, when I was in the classroom, I saw their arms turn a bluish-gray color when they fought the sports students, similar to a kind of incomplete plaster-like substance.”

“They showed a different kind of agility and irritability in the dark than in the sunlight, and even showed some intelligence. Even the sports students could only suppress them with numerical superiority.”

Lin Yi could only listen. This information was not difficult to accept, but as someone who was gradually accepting the abnormal worldview and constantly overwriting his cognition, he obviously needed some time to digest this information.

And what Tian Bufan said, to a certain extent, gave him a preliminary understanding of the “pathway”.

If blood turns into ketchup, and ketchup turns into plaster.

Then, a person turning into a sculpture doesn't seem unacceptable…

But…

Is this a question of whether to “accept” it or not?

The world seems to be having problems!

Tian Bufan said: “If the transformation path is regarded as a chemical formula, then there must be catalysts and conditions in the path. If these things can be figured out, the path can be completed.”

“Then, perhaps a reverse transformation method can be found.”

Lin Yi asked in surprise, “Reverse transformation?”

Tian Bufan nodded: “This goes back to the issue of the inner and outer layers of the 'Novice Village' that I mentioned before.”

“Those unreachable layer areas are not impossible to go to. If the correct 'identity' is used, it can theoretically be reached safely, but the problem is, after obtaining that identity, how do I transform back?”

“If it can only be transformed in one direction, then it's useless.”

“But if it can be transformed in reverse, then it's equivalent to…”

“As long as I protect myself, I can keep the whole map green.”

(*Note: In some games with faction divisions, red names represent a state in which they can be attacked by hostile forces, while green names represent a safe state in which they cannot be attacked.)

Lin Yi was shocked and felt he had learned something profound.

“If students are like this, then I suspect teachers are also like this,” Tian Bufan said again, “There are homeroom teachers for experience students, sports teachers for sports students, and art teachers for art students.”

“There are normal art students and normal art teachers, and abnormal art students… naturally, there are also abnormal art teachers.”

“So—”

After a detour, it finally returned to the topic.

“So, the teachers and students in the mist are abnormal art teachers and abnormal art students,” Lin Yi said in a deep voice.

At this point, the two people's discussion on the second question also came to a perfect end.

Two: [The teachers and students who appear in the foggy weather are abnormal art teachers and abnormal art students.] — √

This point seems simple, and even if only the conclusion is stated, it can be summarized in one sentence.

However, Tian Bufan analyzed the “knowledge point” context little by little by guiding Lin Yi’s thinking, and helped Lin Yi complete the acceptance and change in cognition little by little from the level of “cognition”.

In the end, a huge amount of knowledge points were expanded.

“Remember, these will all be tested,” Tian Bufan joked, rarely, after packing his change of clothes.

Lin Yi smiled wryly and said, “Understood, Teacher Tian.”

Tian Bufan waved his hand: “Kuai Kuai is finished washing, you can digest this information first, and we will continue chatting after I take a shower.”

He looked in the direction of the bathroom. Sure enough, the bathroom door was opened, and Kuai Hongji walked out of it with his changed clothes in his arms.

At this moment, Wei Shan, who had been silent, suddenly roared at Kuai Hongji:

“You sneaky bastard, pick up my pillow!”

Kuai Hongji glanced down at the edge of the door, then sneered coldly: “Fatty, can't you even pick up a pillow after so long? Are you disabled?”

That’s what he said, but he still picked up the pillow and threw it to Wei Shan.

Wei Shan caught the pillow and lay down to sleep with it behind his head.

Tian Bufan then walked towards the bathroom.

“Lao Lin,” Tian Bufan opened the bathroom door, and just before he was about to enter, he suddenly said.

“Hmm?”

“Tell me… from what moment did you start to default to the abnormality of the campus, and accept the abnormality of the campus, and even actively accept the 'rule' that 'ketchup will turn into plaster' which is completely detached from reality?”

Lin Yi was paralyzed on the spot as if struck by lightning. Tian Bufan's question echoed in his ears like a bell, making his head buzz.

“Yes, when… when did I completely accept the abnormality of the campus?”

He recalled several fragments in his mind, but found that none of them were precise enough.

After thinking about it, only Tian Bufan's words remained in his mind.

[Cognition was not subverted, but covered.]

Everything was changing silently, and even he had unconsciously adapted to these completely illogical things.

“Wait… 'adapt'?!

“Is this the 'adapt' that Young Master Tian is talking about?”

“Kuai Kuai.” Lin Yi called out to Kuai Hongji, who had just finished putting his clothes in the washing machine and was about to go to bed.

Kuai Hongji looked at him indifferently.

“Please hand me the notepad and pen, thank you.”

Kuai Hongji silently handed the notebook to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi turned the notebook to the page where he had written the notes before, and looked at the fourteenth item among them.

[14. Ketchup will turn into plaster under the sun (the principle is temporarily unknown).

“Tomato is a heart.

Ketchup is blood plasma. (These two sentences were heavily smeared with messy and forceful lines.)”]

Tomato elements will attract the attention of strange classmates.

Tomato is not a tomato, there is no tomato at all.]

He looked at the two lines 【Tomato is a heart】 and 【Ketchup is blood plasma】 that he had heavily smeared out, took a deep breath, and then picked up the pen and tried to rewrite…

“Tomato is… a… heart…”

He finished writing this sentence very smoothly, and even looking back at it, he didn't feel any discomfort.

The feeling that almost sent him away back then didn't appear at all.

"My perception... has really reached this layer!"

"This...?"

...

May 7, X023, 22:05.

The sound of Tian Bufan showering came from the bathroom, and Lin Yi sighed faintly.

"Maozi really didn't come back."

He lay on the bed, using the pillow as a headrest, staring blankly at the ceiling, constantly digesting what Tian Bufan had told him.

Ten minutes later, Tian Bufan turned off the shower, and the sound of water in the bathroom disappeared.

Eight minutes later, Tian Bufan finally left the bathroom leisurely.

Lin Yi propped himself up and looked at Tian Bufan: "Is something wrong?"

Tian Bufan opened the washing machine and threw in the laundry: "There's something peeping outside the window."

"I encountered it too," Lin Yi said, "but I didn't find it... Wait! Different layers!"

"You're quick to apply what you've learned," Tian Bufan closed the washing machine door, "That thing took advantage of the fog distorting the senses and lay on the window."

"You didn't see it clearly either?"

The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba_._com!

"I saw it clearly."

"Uh..."

Tian Bufan's calm tone made Lin Yi couldn't help but feel that the gap between him and Tian Bufan had widened again...

"So... what did you see?"

"Judging from the shape, it looks a bit like 'the inhuman classmate'."

"'The inhuman classmate'?" Lin Yi was shocked and immediately said, "I suddenly thought that they have a killing mechanism that can sense people observing them and then target them in the void."

"No, no, no... There's a light in the bathroom, this mechanism will only be triggered after the lights are turned off... I'm being hasty."

Lin Yi shook his head repeatedly.

Tian Bufan said, "It's okay, knowing something in advance will allow you to be mentally prepared, so you won't be so scared and at a loss when the time comes."

Dormitory Rule 2 [Special Circumstances Edition] mentions: After the lights are turned off at 0:00, if you hear something knocking on the dormitory window, or calling you from outside the window, don't doubt it, there is indeed something outside the window.

"It seems that after the lights are turned off, the layer of the dormitory building will also be lowered, and those inhuman classmates who can only use the fog to appear outside the bathroom will climb onto that window like human-shaped spiders," Lin Yi pondered, pointing to the window between the washstand and the bathroom.

"It's also possible that they will climb in," Tian Bufan added.

"Hehehe... it seems that if we haven't fallen asleep by then, we will have to share a room with those dirty things," Kuai Hongji smiled sinisterly, "Fatty, doesn't the thought of being in a dark and closed dormitory with those corpse-like things excite you?"

"Yin Bi, get lost!" Wei Shan cursed, and the bed shook as a result.

"Hehe..." Kuai Hongji laughed sinisterly.

But Kuai Hongji's strange laughter stimulated Wei Shan even more.

"Yin Bi, I'll tear you apart sooner or later!"

"No need for sooner or later, come on now if you have the ability," Kuai Hongji sneered.

"You're really courting death!"

"Alright! Stop it, you two!" Lin Yi frowned and interrupted, "It's getting late, if you have something to say, discuss it together, if you don't have anything to say, go to sleep quickly, Tian Gongzi and I still have things to discuss!"

"Heh... sleeping, sleeping!" Kuai Hongji turned over and covered himself with the quilt.

"Hmph!" Wei Shan sneered, but lay down without falling asleep, just staring blankly at the ceiling, wondering what he was thinking.

Lin Yi put the notebook under his pillow, glanced at Tian Bufan who was also preparing to go to bed, and asked, "Continue chatting?"

"Yes, same as before, you continue talking."

"I suddenly thought of something," Lin Yi said, "Those inhuman classmates and abnormal art students all left the classroom around 4:30 today, do you think there's anything to it?"

This was what he had written on a small piece of paper before, and he only remembered it when he saw it while flipping through the notes just now.

Tian Bufan said, "I'm not sure about this. Considering that they have special buffs after the lights are turned off, and that streetlights can protect us to some extent, it's not difficult to guess that lights and daytime should have a relatively large impact on them."

"And 4:30..."

"It's May now, and judging from the location of S City, it's almost dawn."

"The sun comes out, broadly speaking, that's 'daytime', right?"

"Perhaps that's why they were in a hurry to leave, what do you think?"

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said with great satisfaction, "It's rare that what I think is similar to what you think."

Tian Bufan glanced at him and asked tentatively, "You didn't deliberately bring up this question to try to find some self-confidence, did you?"

"..."

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched fiercely, and he said speechlessly, "How could I! Am I so self-deceiving? I just suddenly thought of this, and I'm just comparing answers with you, okay!"

"Oh, okay, okay, then you continue."

"..." Lin Yi curled his lips, and then continued, "Next is the streetlight problem."

"This problem..." Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, and said, "I think it should be discussed in terms of layers."

"Speaking of this problem," Tian Bufan put his foot down from the bed ladder and walked towards Wei Liang's bed, pretending to pull a thread.

"Damn! You're still trying to get more?" Wei Liang rolled around on the bed, not giving Tian Bufan a chance.

Tian Bufan silently retracted his hand.

Wei Liang hummed and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.

Tian Bufan looked at Lin Yi: "Give me a piece of paper."

"I don't have paper! Do you want rough paper?" Wei Liang pretended to breathe fire.

"I didn't ask you, I'm asking Lao Lin."

Wei Liang's expression changed drastically, he pretended to cough blood while clutching his chest, and then buried his head back under the pillow.

Lin Yi was stunned by Wei Liang's actions.

「Isn't... Liangzi, didn't you say you were going to sleep?」

「Why are you listening here more carefully than me?」

「Are you kidding me?」

He silently tore off a piece of paper and handed it to Tian Bufan.

"Give me a pen too."

"Oh."

Tian Bufan took the pen, and then one second, two seconds, three seconds...

The dormitory was silent.

Suddenly, Tian Bufan looked up at Lin Yi: "Talk."

"Uh... I was planning to watch you perform," Lin Yi said.

Tian Bufan said, "Idiot. You continue, I'll see if it's different from what I think."

"Ah? Oh, oh, okay!" Lin Yi responded, "Last night, the layer of the campus fell in the fog, and then we found a streetlight pole..."
