Chapter 3 Security
“Damn!” Lin Yi broke into a cold sweat behind his back, “Liangzi, what are they?”
Wei Liang said tremblingly: “I, neither do I. I know...it wasn't this weird when I came here last time. How about we run away while we're still at the school gate..."
Lin Yi glanced at the lamppost and reminded bitterly: " But Liangzi, we are no longer at the school gate..."
Wei Liang turned white, pursed his lips and leaned against the street lamp in silence.
"Hey... you guys are walking so fast." At this moment, a voice sounded in Lin Yi's ears.
Four figures walked through the thick fog and walked to them under the dim light.
They were Lin Yi's roommates. They dragged their luggage and carried schoolbags, and walked slowly to Lin Yi's side under the light curtain cast by the street lamp.
Lin Yi looked at them in surprise: "Master Tian, how did you come here?"
"You came here, could it be that you flew here?" Mao Feiyang's thin and dark face There was a look of disdain on his face.
Mao Feiyang wanted to say something more, but Tian Bufan interrupted: "We saw the lights on and walked along the road. Are you okay? Why are you so frightened?"
"Something almost happened. " Lin Yi asked, "Don't you feel weird on the road when you come? "
"It's normal to be weird. Will a school with no problems offer a seven-day trial fee of 30,000 yuan? ?" Mao Feiyang sneered, "Do you think you have a lot of money as a school official?"
The skinny Kuai Hongji sneered sinisterly: "Yes, 30,000 yuan in seven days is enough to buy Mao Zi's life. "
"Stop beeping, I feel very uncomfortable here, I can't stay any longer!" Wei Shan clenched his fists, his burly body lines were tight, as if he was full of blood. The aggressive bear wanted to tear something into pieces.
"I should have brought my bat!" He breathed heavily, exuding strong hostility towards the figure in the mist.
"Okay, I'm new here, don't be so grumpy, Wei Sang." Tian Bufan gently put his hand on Wei Shan's shoulder, and Wei Shan's heavy breathing relaxed a little.
Tian Bufan closed his eyes and raised his head. He took a deep breath, and the thick mist penetrated into his nasal cavity and spit out from his mouth.
He slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of calm excitement in his eyes.
“It’s really a place worth exploring. It’s much more interesting than just looking at the rules.”
The conversations among his roommates did not dilute Lin Yi's fear of the surrounding environment. He looked around with worries in his eyes.
As night falls, the thick fog will only get bigger and bigger, and the "field" initially formed by the lights will be eroded by the fog step by step, and it won't be long before they will be swallowed up by the thick fog.
The female teachers and student leaders who exuded strange aura were slowly approaching them.
Under the thick fog, it seemed that something was trying its best to hide its figure while approaching them. The speed was not fast, but it was full of pressure.
Wei Shan seemed to sense it, and his breathing became heavy again.
His eyes were bloodshot, like a beast ready to go berserk at any time.
"Don't be afraid, we are all here." Lin Yi held Wei Shan's other shoulder.
As Wei Shan's roommate, he knew that Wei Shan was irritable and claustrophobic, and this thick fog was just like a black box, constantly oppressing Wei Shan's emotions, making him vulnerable at any time. After being extremely depressed, he ran away.
"Hey, Wei Sang is finally going crazy!" Kuai Hongji said coldly.
"Yin Bi, believe it or not, I will tear you apart first!" Wei Shan roared "咒咒咈" in his throat. He stared at Kuai Hongji with bloodshot eyes. .
"Okay! Kuai Kuai, Wei Sang, now is not the time to bicker." Lin Yi suppressed his discomfort and lowered his voice.
"Hey." Kuai Hongji twitched his lips and ignored Wei Shan's threat.
"I'm scared to death now, Lao Lin, what should we do?" Wei Liang said fearfully, his back pressed against the street lamp.
Lin Yi looked at the direction Tian Bufan and the others came from, thought briefly for a while, and said to himself: "If we return along this road, can we reach the school gate and leave?"
Although the fog is thick, a streetlight can be vaguely seen not far away, standing like a lighthouse.
The street lamp hung down a clear yellow light, twisting like cloth, and continued to the street lamp under their feet.
Wei Liang's eyes lit up, as if he had found a life-saving straw.
"Why, do you want to leave now?" Mao Feiyang said.
Lin Yi shook his head. He didn't expect to encounter such a strange thing when he first came to S City University. Wei Liang's face beside him was so dark that he couldn't see clearly under his peaked cap.
“I won’t leave, but maybe I can let Ryoko leave.”
"You are overthinking." Tian Bufan poured cold water on him unceremoniously, "As soon as we entered the school gate on the bus, we found that the school gate had disappeared."
"What kind of disappearance? Disappeared out of thin air?"
Tian Bufan said seriously: "The fog covered the school gate, and then the school gate disappeared. But... I have a strange feeling that the school gate did not disappear, but was pulled away."
" Can you understand that feeling? ”
“The school gate is clearly in front of you, but when you are about to walk over, the little bit of road is stretched like rubber, no matter how you walk. Can’t get to the door”
"Obviously there is only one step, as far away as a world."
Lin Yi couldn't believe it and frowned: "I had this feeling just now."
Tian Bufan said : "So even if we want to leave, we have to abide by the rules before we can leave... We must first accept the rules and become people within the rules."
"Just like playing a survival game, use all available rules Protect yourself and survive to pass the level. "
"We don't need to get through, we just need to...understand the rules and leave at a suitable time."
Tian Bufan's eyes sparkled like an excellent player.
Among Lin Yi and his fellow dormitory 4016 members, Tian Bufan has a very adventurous spirit. He has long wanted to visit this S city university.
Lin Yi looked at the mist rolling around his feet, and the rules in the student code began to roll through his mind one by one.
Although they did not go through the admission procedures and obtain student ID cards, the student code is the only rule they can follow.
"Some rules may apply, such as don't look back, or..."
"Follow the street lights in the direction of decreasing numbers, and we will meet the security guard."
"Follow the security guard, and we can reach the building on the map...for example, the teaching building closest to us."
Lin Yi looked at Tian Bufan: "Master Tian, you must have observed that street light pole, what is its number?"
""Teaching Building-025". "
"Huh? No street light No. 24? "The street lamp next to Lin Yi is "Teaching Building-023", "We have to find a street lamp with a number less than 23, or..."
"With this kind of fog, you can't tell whether you're going to find a street light or you're going to die." Kuai Hongji said bluntly.
"I can go in!" Wei Shan made a deep voice in his throat.
“Don’t mess around.” Lin Yi frowned, and Wei Shan, who was originally restless, suddenly calmed down, “Or, we can wait for the security guard here, and then follow him to the teaching building. "
"Are you sure you are not waiting to die?" Mao Feiyang said, "We don't have a student ID card, will the security guard help us?"
"This is the only way mentioned in the rules. ." Lin Yi said, "Do you have a better way?"
Mao Feiyang said harshly: "I will figure it out." "Then let's wait here and see if you figure it out first or the security guards come first."
Mao Feiyang He curled his lips.
Tian Bufan made the final decision: "That's it, we'll wait for the security here. During this process, everyone should use this street lamp as a reference and don't get lost."
As he said He put his hand on the street lamp.
Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang.
At this moment, Wei Liang was squatting on the ground with his back against the street lamp, holding the student code to his chest like a priest holding a Bible, and hissed.
"Liangzi, are you okay?"
Wei Liang trembled: "When I came here last time, I saw the security guards from a distance. They...were very strange, and it was said that they were in the school The wind review here is not very good.”
“But the wind review is no longer important... What is important is that we are in the mountains now. As long as the fog gets thicker, it will definitely rain at night!”
< br>
"We must arrive at the teaching building or dormitory before it rains. Legend has it that the campus is particularly weird on rainy days!"
...
Lin Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the floating fog, layer upon layer of fog. It was as overwhelming as mountains.
The dense fog grew like vines around everyone's feet. Everyone shrank in circles and got as close to the street lights as possible.
The small space formed by the street light curtain was filled with the sound of heavy breathing.
Black shadows were moving in the fog, and it was unclear whether it was fog or something else, but everyone could clearly hear the rustling sound of stones rubbing against the ground in the fog, and felt that the sound came from deep in the thick fog. Dao looked with malice.
It was like being targeted by a group of unknown creatures.
Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at his wrist.
18:21.
Eighteen minutes have only passed, but it feels like such a long time.
Suddenly, Lin Yi narrowed his eyes. He felt that there seemed to be some kind of strange calling mixed in the rolling fog. It was babbling, like an actor singing, but the sound was erratic, like echoing in the empty valley.
He shook his head, and the voice disappeared on the spot, but immediately the voice slowly sounded in his ears again...
This time, it was more like someone calling his name.
Lin Yi felt irritable and wanted to rush into the mist.
Wei Shan leaned down and let out a low roar of "咒咒咒..." from his throat, like a beast about to go berserk.
At this moment, the thick fog in the distance suddenly rolled violently, like someone walking through the sand on the seabed, breaking out of a field.
In the field, a faint yellow light flashed.
"Rustling..."
An even faster rustling sound sounded in the dense fog. The creatures in the fog seemed to have encountered natural enemies and began to recede like a tide.
The fog dissipated a little, and Lin Yi turned around and saw a burly figure like an iron tower walking slowly through the fog, like a giant mechanical warrior breaking through the waves in the Pacific Ocean. .
As the distance got a little closer, Lin Yi discovered that it was a burly man wearing a black coat.
The big man held an old kerosene lamp in his left hand. The light curtain formed by the kerosene lamp spread out and split the fog like a sharp blade.
His right hand held a white bat that seemed to be made of plaster. The tip of the bat seemed to be stained with some dark red sticky substance mixed with white powder.
"It's the security guard!" Wei Liang said fearfully and excitedly.
"It is indeed the security guard..." Lin Yi looked at the security guard curiously.
But just when he looked at the security guard, the security guard turned his head suddenly and faced him with a pair of golden eyes.
Under the thick fog, the security guard's golden eyes were as bright as the sun, and hot gold seemed to be flowing deep in his eyes, which stung so much that Lin Yi immediately turned his head away.
"Clang, clang, clang..." The security guard came to the street lamp like a heavy tank and entered the light curtain.
The security guard was more than two meters tall and seemed to be able to grab the street lamp with just a raise of his hand. He looked down at Lin Yi and the others, his eyes narrowed in thought.
Wei Shan's muscular figure of nearly 1.9 meters is already considered tall among ordinary people, but he still looks like a child in front of the security guards.
He growled lowly and stared at the kerosene lamp in the security guard's hand with fear, but he still expressed great hostility towards him.
The security guard leaned down and sniffed gently in front of Lin Yi. Then without saying a word, he turned around and stepped from the light into the thick fog.
Seeing that the thick fog was about to drown the security guard, Lin Yi helped Wei Liang up and shouted quickly: "Quick, follow the security guard!"
......
X023 May 6, 18:33.
In the area of the university teaching building in City S, thick fog filled the campus like cotton balls. Lin Yi and others followed the security guards through the fog.
Lin Yi looked around vigilantly. Every once in a while, he could see a bright streetlight not far away, but the security guard did not step into the field formed by the light.
Lin Yi noticed that although the old kerosene lamp held by the security guard did not light up, it cast a curtain of light like a street lamp.
They are like an icebreaker, cutting through the wind and waves under the leadership of the captain.
Suddenly, Lin Yi noticed something. He lowered his head and looked in the direction of the "clang, clang, clang" sound. Only then did he realize that the security guard was actually wearing a pair of shackles around his waist. The ends of the shackles were A thick and long chain.
Part of the chain was dragging on the ground, and the other part... was caught in someone's hand!
Lin Yi's pupils suddenly dilated, and a cold breath suddenly rushed down his spine towards Tianling Gai. Looking in the direction of his gaze, he saw that there was a streak in the mist. Other figures!
It was a cafeteria employee wearing a white chef uniform with a blue bib hanging in front of him. He was carrying a lunch box in one hand and held the chain in his other hand. The iron chain...
"Wait...!!"
Lin Yi looked back along the iron chain, and saw the chef followed by the chef, each one disappearing like a long queue in the thicket. In the fog.
They were holding lunch boxes in one hand and holding chains in the other, just like the pagans who walked in the long night carrying oil lamps before the Middle Ages.
Everyone kept a uniform pace and moved forward slowly under the leadership of the security guards. They seemed not to notice Lin Yi and the others at all.
Lin Yi suddenly realized that this was a complete team, and they were intruders!
Just when he had this idea, a voice suddenly sounded from the mist around him:
"Classmate, have you had dinner?"
A chef loosened the chain and walked towards them carrying a lunch box.
“This is the most popular dish in our canteen, spaghetti with tomato meat sauce. You can try it for free.”
The chef had a look on his face that was obviously normal but always felt like something was wrong. The smile that looked so right seemed to have been created after precise calculations.
Lin Yi felt very uncomfortable and full of resistance in his heart. He blinked hard and suddenly found a dark green bib hanging on the chef's chest.
