Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Due to the distance, Lin Yi didn't clearly see the series of numbers, but he did see that when the nib of the pen crossed the surface of the student commemorative coin, bloodstains appeared on the coin... as if a small knife had slashed across delicate skin.

A huge question mark popped up in Lin Yi's head, and his heart trembled violently: "What exactly is that student commemorative coin?!"

Just then, the art teacher suddenly looked up at Mao Feiyang.

When he saw that Mao Feiyang was still concentrating on reciting, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he continued to sculpt...

Lin Yi's heart was not calm at all. He had a strange feeling that the art teacher's glance just now... seemed to be at him!

But he was clearly dreaming now, how could he be noticed?

But if that wasn't the case, then... what was the art teacher looking at with that sudden glance?

The key point is that Wei Shan and the security guard seemed to have had some sensitive reactions to "his" existence before...

"Coincidence?"

"Is it really a coincidence?"

"Focus on reciting, don't let your imagination run wild," the art teacher suddenly reminded.

Mao Feiyang's body trembled violently, and his somewhat scattered pupils suddenly regained their spirit.

Lin Yi's heart jolted: "Maozi just now... was 'letting his imagination run wild' like I was yesterday?! Did the art teacher awaken him?"

"So, just now was it because the art teacher noticed this, and not because of me? Or... because of something else?"

A look of doubt appeared in Lin Yi's eyes, but he could only temporarily put this matter in his heart and wait for a chance to verify it later.

As Mao Feiyang's recitation progressed, Lin Yi had no way to observe the remaining sky-blue card and the black card holder, so he also began to recite the Art Student Code.

Compared to others, the Art Student Code implicitly explained the issue of "cognition" from the beginning, which may also be a part of "overwriting" cognition.

And the student commemorative coin, as it seems now, is the identity certificate of the art student.

It's really interesting. In this campus, the experience students have student IDs as proof of identity, and the art students have student commemorative coins as proof of identity, but on the contrary, the sports students don't have any documents.

Or is it that the sports students have some special identity certificate?

It wouldn't be a baseball bat, would it?

Lin Yi couldn't help but think of the baseball bats that almost every sports student had, thick and large with strong destructive power, like a divine weapon.

Secondly, there is the issue of the art student's layer mentioned in the Art Student Code.

Mao Feiyang may not know, but he clearly knows that S City University and the Art Building are not in the same layer of the world.

And the Art Student Code also clearly states a "pathway" between these two layers.

It's just that this pathway is only open under abnormal weather conditions, and its opening time is very harsh, almost completely contradicting the time when experience students can move freely, and it is in extreme danger.

Security guard.

The dormitory manager is easy to understand. Mao Feiyang just now arrived at the Art Building from the dormitory building through the dormitory manager.

But the sculptures and security guards are very mysterious.

Security guards and sculptures are definitely opposing existences, which can be confirmed from many things.

For example, security guards passing by the classroom in abnormal weather directly attack the sculptures;

For example, the old kerosene lamp in the security guard's hand has a more obvious expulsion and deterrent effect on the sculptures than incandescent lamps...

But the art students, as a group that "under normal circumstances are allies with the sports students," actually have to "stay away from the security guards as much as possible" while preventing being chased by the sculptures.

This gives Lin Yi a strange feeling... Does it mean that art students are a group living in the cracks?

Helping people fight also requires being secretive?

Damn it, where is justice?

Lin Yi doesn't know the reason for this for the time being, and can only secretly complain, "Outrageous, really outrageous."

Because the rules related to art students also involve three special units, namely the dormitory manager, the sculptures, and the security guards.

But as far as he knows, the security guards on campus should be a "neutral and orderly" unit, and the sculptures, which seem to be "evil and chaotic," should be two opposing camps. But why do art students, who are biased towards helping sports students, have to stay away from security guards?

Lin Yi's heart suddenly jumped when he thought of this:

"Could it be that art students are a biased evil camp?"

"Damn... no way, right?"

As soon as this guess appeared, it spread in his heart.

If art students are a biased evil camp... then some things seem to be explained!

For example, people who are art students are explicitly forbidden by the Art Student Code from going to the base camp of the sports students, who are "usually allies" - the gymnasium.

Also, for example, the Art Student Code's attitude towards eating foods containing tomato elements is actually open.

So, judging from the "pathway" for Mao Feiyang to become an art student, the identity of an art student itself is an experience student who has been polluted, constantly receiving pollution in the basement of the teaching building, and finally obtaining it after arriving at the Art Building.

According to Tian Bufan's "game theory" about the threshold, within a certain range of pollution, art students are still normal, but once they exceed this threshold, they are very likely to become a unit with the same characteristics as non-human classmates and sculptures (abnormal art students).

In this way... perhaps in the "judgment" of the security guards, all "art students" are hostile forces?

Lin Yi gently shook his head. Perhaps the answer to this question can be obtained from the sports students, so he temporarily put this idea behind him.

If Tian Bufan saw the Art Student Code, he would definitely say that it is a particularly "interesting" thing.

Because in addition to the complex relationship between art students and sculptures, sports students, and security guards, it also mentions a very special thing.

A pathway that truly involves the return of layers - the teaching building elevator.

To explore the teaching building elevator, you must first sort out several return routes.

"Known... Maozi lost the opportunity to enter the teacher's office in the basement of the teaching building after being polluted by the green bib chef, and then, he went against the stairs in the basement and arrived directly at the dormitory building from the teaching building... realizing a certain level of layer crossing."

"Then, through the dormitory building's elevator, under the leadership of the dormitory manager, he arrived at the Art Building on another layer."

"This shows that when the layers of the teaching building, dormitory building, and Art Building fall, a road that did not originally exist will appear."

"This road cannot be returned by art students, but the dormitory manager can use it to return to the dormitory building..."

This is one, secondly -

"According to the Art Student Code, when the layers fall, art students can travel between the teaching building and the Art Building through the elevator. It is obvious that these two things are in a 'superimposed state' at a certain moment, just like the corridor of the dormitory building and the cliff..."

"Eh, wait a minute..."

In Lin Yi's mind, an inverted, distorted geometric figure emerged, a figure… indescribable yet eerie, with a composition style reminiscent of Michelangelo and Renaissance abstract art, like a broken geometric image with taut lines, rapidly cutting, combining, and arranging itself to ultimately form a three-dimensional geometric construct that transcended cognition and subverted common sense…

On that geometric body, the dormitory building, the teaching building, and the art building were like they had suffered a dimensional reduction attack, becoming "tin foil" plastered onto the geometry, and then a line, seemingly an elevator path, ran through this geometric structure…

"This…?"

He was stunned.

The construction of this thing subverted all architectural design concepts from the Stone Age to the present, being both absurd and abstract, completely violating the conditions for the composition of spatial geometry.

This was simply something that should not exist in this world, yet the various lines within it were incredibly clear.

"Wait…" Lin Yi suddenly paused, he noticed that the lines of the geometric body were moving, imperceptibly changing from A to B, seemingly without any change, but in reality, it was completely different from the previous moment.

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Post!

Moreover, this change seemed to be continuing, and he couldn't remember any of its previous forms at all. He seemed to only have a "read-only" privilege, and after seeing it, he would automatically forget…

"Clearly, this is a scene that my brain conjured out of thin air, but I can't even remember it myself?"

This seemed to be a self-preservation mechanism, just like how he couldn't write down the information "Ketchup is blood plasma" before his cognition was completely overwritten…

But the good times didn't last long. Although his brain "automatically deleted" the memory of this thing, as he contemplated, his mind finally constructed the appearance of this geometric body like a fleeting glimpse of light.

But just for a moment, that geometric body began to shatter like a stack of blocks hit by a heavy hammer!

However, its shattering method was extremely special, a form of collapse from the surroundings towards the center…

It shattered into countless irregular but square blocks, like pixels being swallowed by the void. Soon, the location of this geometric body became a void…

At the same time, darkness, like a tide, spread out from the void, spreading wildly in Lin Yi's mind. Along with the erosion of darkness, he heard buzzing chants in his ears, as if a demonic monk holding a heretical scripture was chanting some strange syllables in Sanskrit, or like people from a tribe were performing some kind of sacrificial ritual in the remote wilderness…

That indescribable yet describable with all sorts of bizarre illusions, the eerie sound, permeated with chilling malice and terrifying mental domination, seemed to seep in from the void, directly invading Lin Yi's brain…

In a daze, he heard an indescribable behemoth twisting its body in the misty abyss, its hard, cold, and metallic-lustered scales rubbing against each other, making a "rustling" sound…

The sea breeze howled and swirled, the waves crashed endlessly…

That sound surged from the depths of the mist, like dancing in the waves, surging towards his ears in bursts:

"I AvgruNnen … … av tKe og … … mrke jaGer for … … Tapte Sjeler … … fanTome … …"

"I … … AvgruNnen av … … tKe og mrke jaGer … … forTapte Sjeler fanTome … …"

"I … … Avg … … ruNn … … en av tKe og mrke … …" Lin Yi's throat rolled slightly, the mumbling sound uttered syllables extremely similar to that painful scream in an incredibly difficult pronunciation…

Boundless gray mist surged from the darkness, as if to swallow him completely.

But just as this feeling came, Lin Yi had an even stronger feeling—a feeling of "floating" in a pool of water!

This was the feeling of waking up from a dream!

It was also the ultimate insurance of a self-preservation mechanism from instinct that even Lin Yi himself didn't fully understand!

But just at this moment, Lin Yi suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder.

"Pa!"

A hand rested on "his" shoulder, interrupting his mumbling, collapsing whisper…

The mist in his mind seemed to be scattered by an invisible force, a gentle moonlight splitting the mist and piercing into his eyes.

His whole body shivered, instantly pulling himself out of this illusion.

Then he discovered that the art teacher had stood in front of "him" (Mao Feiyang) at some point, with his hand on Mao Feiyang's shoulder, looking down at him.

The art teacher's gaze was calm, and a moonlight-like cold golden light flowed in his eyes…

"The change of cognition is not a matter of a day or two. Thinking is fine, but don't cross the line. You should stop when you feel the darkness approaching." The art teacher patted Mao Feiyang's shoulder and handed the student commemorative coin over, "Take the student commemorative coin and continue reciting."

"Ah? Ah, ah, oh… Okay." Mao Feiyang nodded blankly, subconsciously taking the student commemorative coin.

Lin Yi was in a trance. He subconsciously felt that the art teacher was talking to him, but he could feel Mao Feiyang's experience and feelings—just when he had just glimpsed that strange geometric body, Mao Feiyang had actually produced a similar hallucination…

And the art teacher came over to pull Mao Feiyang out of that falling layer because of this.

The sense of déjà vu in this scene was so strong, it was just like Wei Liang pulling him back yesterday…

"Liangzi…" Lin Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Although Wei Liang looked fine at first glance, this series of events recently really made him suspect what Wei Liang had experienced the last time he came.

At least, it was definitely not as simple as Wei Liang described…

"Liangzi's performance is sometimes like he's heavily contaminated, but most of the time it seems like there's no problem at all…"

"How strange…"

He thought about Wei Liang's serious face when he showed him H manga, and suddenly felt that Wei Liang was shrouded in a mysterious color.

This color seemed even more intense than Tian Bufan's.

It's just that these guesses are unfounded.

He shook his head slightly and brought his thoughts back to the scene just now.
