Chapter 39: The Sign in Front of the Stadium
Chapter 39: The Sign in Front of the Stadium (Additional 1000 Words)
"Ketchup is leaking out of the keyhole...?!"
Lin Yi pulled his hand away like lightning, and the napkin lost its power and fell down.
Before it even hit the ground, the ketchup emitted a very light dark red mist, just like a sauna.
At the same time, the ketchup hardened into white plaster-like fragments at a speed visible to the naked eye, and shattered onto the ground with a "bang".
The spot on the napkin where the ketchup had been was gone.
The napkin looked like it had a hole in it.
Lin Yi subconsciously took a step back, staring at the white powder on the other side of the keyhole.
"So... the ketchup flowed out of the keyhole, turned into white powder in the sun, and then... floated out?"
"But where did the ketchup come from in the keyhole?"
He couldn't understand it, not at all.
This question is beyond the scope of the topic. Even if he can make an assumption, he doesn't know where to start.
I can't find any clue at all.
He went to the bottom of the stairs, picked up two small dead branches, carefully picked up the napkin, and threw it into the trash can between the classroom door and the classroom office door.
He returned to the classroom in a daze, turned over the desk and sat back.
He let out a long breath and felt upset when he saw the only deductive symbols on the booklet that he could understand.
"The conditions are still too few! I have no idea what's going on!"
"I have to go back to the dormitory to sleep tonight!"
The more he knew, the more dangerous it felt to be in the classroom.
He even has a suspicious feeling now, and even the head teacher... doesn't seem so trustworthy.
Seeing Lin Yi like this, Wei Liang couldn't sit still anymore.
He patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and said, "You weren't going to knock on the homeroom teacher's door just now, were you? Seeing you hesitate and worried about the outcome, it's just like me wanting to confess but afraid of failure."
Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang in surprise.
Wei Liang shook his head helplessly and continued, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you fail. When I become successful, I will pass on my treasured "List of Rich Women in S City" to you."
Lin Yi opened his mouth in surprise.
"No... what the hell is going on here? I was just thinking about something, and you came up with this weird plot?"
"Also, where the hell did you get this roster?"
Wei Liang shook his shoulders and waved his hands: "Oh, don't worry about it, it's not important... Go chase your black silk stockings OL class teacher first!"
"..."
Looking at Wei Liang's despicable appearance as a dog-headed military strategist, Lin Yi suddenly felt a little itchy and really wanted to pin his head to the ground and hit him twice.
He folded the papers and put them in a small notebook, then snapped the notebook shut and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.
After doing all this, he looked at his watch and then checked the time on the pendulum clock on the wall.
All are 14:00.
At this time, students in the classroom stood up one after another and walked out of the classroom.
Lin Yi guessed that they were heading to the gymnasium, so he looked at Wei Liang and said, "Liangzi, the physical education class will start in half an hour, shall we go too?"
Xu Shunkang said that it would be enough to arrive 15 minutes earlier. Taking into account the time on the road, Lin Yi estimated that it would be about time by now.
Wei Liang glanced at the pendulum clock on the wall, then glanced at the situation in the classroom, then nodded and said affirmatively: "Then let's go, but try not to get too close to them."
He paused, then suddenly came closer and whispered cautiously, "Who knows if they are normal?"
Lin Yi immediately retreated tactically, showing a surprised look: "Liangzi, you started to 'think'...?"
"What the hell am I thinking about? Isn't it you who said it?" Wei Liang stared at him with eyes wide open.
"Ah? When did I say that?" Lin Yi asked puzzled.
Wei Liang curled his lips and said, "I expanded on your idea. It's actually very simple. You just need to treat everyone in the classroom except us as abnormal people."
"One size fits all?"
"There are no friendly forces anyway, so what's the difference between a one-size-fits-all approach and no one-size-fits-all approach?"
Lin Yi was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt that Wei Liang’s statement... seemed to make sense.
"Everyone is abnormal..." He pondered this sentence for a moment, then nodded seriously, "...Except us."
Wei Liang stood up with a smile and patted his pants: "Hey, let's go to physical education class."
"Ouch!" He suddenly screamed, startling Lin Yi.
"what?"
Wei Liang suddenly slapped his head and said, "I forgot I don't have shoes!"
"Isn't there anything in your bag?" Lin Yi asked back.
They brought a backpack and put it at their feet after entering the classroom last night.
"Please, put your shoes in your bag?" Wei Liang was speechless, and then said, "I only put a few pairs of underwear in my bag. I didn't even bring any compressed biscuits this time."
"Okay..." Lin Yi shrugged, and finally added, "It depends on me."
"Huh?! You fucking...stuffed shoes in your bag?" Wei Liang was extremely surprised.
Lin Yi looked around and found the seat where he sat last night. He went over and turned over his and Wei Liang's bags.
Then he opened his bag, took out a stack of socks, and handed some to Wei Liang.
"I don't have shoes, but I do have socks. Can you wear a few more pairs?"
"Okay, it's better to wear socks than to go barefoot... The floor in this school is quite rough on your feet." Wei Liang didn't hesitate and reached out to take off his socks. "Hey, you still have your phone with you?"
"There's no electronic coverage on this campus, so it's useless even if you bring it."
"And there are no sockets in the dormitory... I don't know if the school did it on purpose or accidentally."
Lin Yi glanced at his phone.
"Oh... I know, you told me before, but I didn't want to hand it in, so I took it with me."
Hearing Lin Yi say this, Wei Liang thought that Lin Yi might want to turn on his phone to contact his family as soon as he left the campus, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He lowered his head to put on his socks, and after a while he asked again, "Anything else?"
"What else?"
"Socks!"
"Didn't I give it to you?"
"The other foot."
Lin Yi was slightly stunned and glanced at him silently. He saw that he had wrapped his right foot tightly in no time. At first glance, it looked like a big pig's hoof.
"..." Lin Yi couldn't help but said, "Brother...don't just give me one foot!"
Wei Liang smacked his lips and began to change his socks reluctantly.
Suddenly, Lin Yi sensed something and looked out the window.
It seemed like another cloud was floating over the mountain.
"It's going to be windy... Liangzi, let's hurry up... eh?"
He withdrew his gaze from the window, only to find that Wei Liang was no longer in his original position.
"Fuck you, let's go!" Wei Liang waved at him on the steps, urging him, "Please leave it in the classroom. If someone steals it, you can ask the school to cash it out... No, ask the school to compensate you. Let's go!"
"Damn it! Are you a ghost? You just float away when you turn your head?" Lin Yi quickly put the book down and followed Wei Liang's steps.
After leaving the classroom and going down the stairs, the two followed the route marked on the map, walking along a cobblestone road lined with street lights towards the gymnasium.
What’s interesting is that, judging from the map provided in the student code of conduct, the distances between any two buildings on the S City University campus are similar.
Walking on the road, Lin Yi observed the numbers of the street lights as he moved forward.
「教学楼-054」、「教学楼-065」、「教学楼-099」……「体育馆-005」、「体育馆-071」……
Lin Yi's eyebrows twitched.
"Looks like we've reached the gymnasium now!"
He looked ahead and saw a winding slope. Below the slope, on a relatively flat hill, there was a huge building shaped like a bird's egg.
As expected, it was the gymnasium.
But at this moment, Lin Yi suddenly had an idea.
He just looked back.
All previous rules had stated not to look back under abnormal circumstances, so Lin Yi turned back this time under normal circumstances.
But he was still stunned by the scene.
There is no teaching building behind him.
It was clearly just a few steps away, but the teaching building had disappeared.
The distance between the teaching building and the gymnasium is not far according to the map. It is about a fifteen-minute walk under normal circumstances.
But when he was in the classroom and the teaching building, no matter how he looked, he could not see other buildings. He could only see green belts or green belts, and if he looked further, he could only see mountains. And now when he came here, he could not see the teaching building.
"Strange..." Lin Yi muttered.
"What's so strange about that?" Wei Liang said.
"The teaching building is gone." Lin Yi said.
Wei Liang looked at him strangely and pointed to the way they came: "Look, isn't it right there? Such a big row of buildings."
A look of doubt appeared in Lin Yi's eyes. He looked suspiciously in the direction where Wei Liang's finger pointed...
There are no teaching buildings.
There is no teaching building!
"Fuck... I can't fucking see the teaching building?!" Lin Yi's eyes widened slightly, and a drop of cold sweat seeped out of his forehead and slowly slid down the bridge of his nose.
He thought of the scene last night when Mao Feiyang couldn't see the office on the underground first floor.
Isn't it the same as him not being able to see the teaching building now? !
"how so?!"
His throat rolled slightly, and his body felt cold even though it was under the sun.
"Lao Lin, what's wrong with you? Are you scared again?" Wei Liang stretched out his hand and waved it hard in front of his eyes.
"Liangzi, I haven't been distracted yet..." Lin Yi said with difficulty.
He glanced down at his watch.
14: 06.
"There are still 24 minutes until the physical education class starts..."
He looked up at the sky again.
The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon. Although there was a cloud on the horizon, it was still a long distance away.
He had a guess in his mind.
He looked at Wei Liang and said, "Liangzi, don't move around here. Wait for me."
After saying that, he walked back the way he came.
Looking at Lin Yi's back, Wei Liang suddenly felt that his generation was inexplicably lower. For some reason, he felt that Lin Yi should be holding an orange in his hand when he came back.
"Hey, wait for me, don't separate, let's go together!" Wei Liang quickly called Lin Yi and quickly chased after him.
But after a few steps, he found that Lin Yi had stopped again.
"Hey, I guess... where are you standing here?" He couldn't help but ask, "Hey, is there something wrong with the teaching building?"
He found Lin Yi staring at the teaching building.
"No problem...It's okay now." Lin Yi responded.
He could see the school building again.
"I think I know what's going on..."
He glanced at the lamppost beside the road.
"Teaching Building-099".
He turned and walked towards the gymnasium, while observing the changes in the numbers on the lampposts. When he saw the number on the lamppost turned into "Gymnasium-005", he turned around and looked towards the teaching building.
Sure enough, the teaching building disappeared from his sight again.
"So... I have to be within the teaching building to see the school building, and I have to be within the gymnasium to see the gymnasium?"
"Why isn't Liangzi like this?"
"Is there something wrong with me... or is there something wrong with him?"
Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang suspiciously.
Being stared at by Lin Yi with strange eyes, Wei Liang suddenly felt unnatural. He subconsciously curled his toes under his two super thick socks and scratched on the ground...
"You you you you...why are you looking at me like that?"
"Uh... nothing." Lin Yi remained calm and changed the subject directly, "Let's go to the gym!"
"Ryoko is probably fine..."
"so……"
At an angle where Wei Liang couldn't see, he exhaled silently...
“So when did something go wrong with me?”
……
May 023, X5, 7:14, in the gymnasium area, on a lamp-lit road surrounded by lush camphor trees.
Lin Yi and Wei Liang walked side by side.
He suddenly missed Tian Bufan very much. He felt that Tian Bufan must have realized some things. If he could discuss it with Tian Bufan, his confusion would definitely be solved...
"Mr. Tian..."
He sighed softly.
Originally, he had thought too highly of himself, wondering if he could run into Tian Bufan or other roommates while eating in the cafeteria.
It was a chance encounter, but it was a chance encounter with a super enthusiastic green-bibbed chef who wanted to treat him to pasta with tomato meat sauce, and a group of enthusiastic classmates who wanted to have lunch with him... He almost got fucked.
"I can only hope that Mr. Tian and the others can meet in the dormitory as agreed at the beginning..." Lin Yi said secretly in his heart.
Long before coming here, Lin Yi knew from the experiencer announcement of S City University that the dormitory was a place where one could choose to stay, so they booked the same dormitory.
As long as you can get to the dormitory, you can meet in that dormitory.
"I hope everything goes well..."
He sighed. What he was most worried about was Mao Feiyang. After all, although the teaching building was not normal, it was still a teaching building after all, and Mao Feiyang... he didn't know whether he had successfully left the stairwell and entered the teaching building.
Just when Lin Yi was missing his roommate, Wei Liang's voice interrupted him: "Lao Lin, we are almost at the gym!"
Wei Liang pointed to a sign ahead and said, "After passing that, it will be there in about two or three minutes!"
Lin Yi looked over immediately and saw a huge billboard simply and crudely inserted in the middle of the road. From a distance, it looked like an axe chopping on a tree stump.
Lin Yi asked: "Is that the sign in front of the gymnasium?"
"Yes!" Wei Liang nodded. "The gymnasium is just like the dormitory. In addition to the special rules, there is also a notice board."
"Actually... I heard there are notice boards everywhere, but I've never been to a library."
As they were talking, they came to the sign in front of the gymnasium.
Lin Yi looked up and saw a huge line of words written on the sign:
"[Signboard "Stadium"]"
“Opening hours: 24 hours a day.”
"The gym is open 24 hours a day?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned.
There are times when students are not allowed to leave the classrooms in the teaching building, and there are times when the cafeteria is open to the public, but the gymnasium is open 24 hours a day.
Compared with the teaching building and the cafeteria, the gymnasium instantly looks more domineering.
Lin Yi continued to read. Below the opening hours, there were two lines of huge and eye-catching black bold fonts:
"There is only one road leading to the stadium, and there are street lights installed on the road (with street lights numbered). Do not set foot on the road without street lights."
"Note: The stadium is built in a special location, so the wind will be a bit strong. Don't worry, as long as there is no rain or fog, it is normal."
"Ah?" When Lin Yi saw this, he suddenly felt that the gymnasium was not simple. He didn't know how much information was hidden in these two simple lines of words. He suppressed the thoughts that he shouldn't have at the moment and read the rest of the rules in one breath.
Below these two lines of text is a huge box with asterisks in it:
“If you find it raining on your way to the stadium, decide where to go based on the first building you see:
1. If you are facing the stadium, run towards it as fast as you can on the right road.
“2. If you are facing the teaching building, please rush to the teaching building on the right road as fast as possible.”
"3. If you look up and see any other building, especially a castle in Western architectural style, please look around until you find the gymnasium or teaching building."
"Please be sure to believe that there is no castle on campus (this sentence is bold and underlined)."
"4. If you don't see any buildings other than the castle, please follow the instructions in the Student Code to find the nearest street lamp and hold on to it until the physical education teacher or security guard shows up."
"The physical education teacher is someone wearing a blue and white sports uniform with a physical education teacher badge on his chest;"
"Athletes are people who wear blue and white sportswear and don't have student ID cards."
"If you meet someone who doesn't fit the above profile, no matter what they say to you, please don't respond."
“5. It is forbidden to travel with athletes.”
"When you arrive at the gymnasium, please swipe your student ID card to get the Gymnasium Rules from the automatic check-in machine at the entrance, and enter the gymnasium through the main entrance. Do not use other doors or stairs."
“The inside of the gymnasium is the safest place on campus, and you are welcome to be there.”
