Chapter 16 How to Survive
"What? Eliminate attention...? What do you mean?" Wei Liang's eyes were wide open, and there was a question mark hanging on the side of his forehead.
Lin Yi explained: "I just tried to find a way to prevent him from staring at me."
"Ah oh oh oh! That's what I mean!" Wei Liangzuo suddenly realized, "You are so I understand, just divert his attention!"
"Yes, that's what it means." Lin Yi nodded, "Have you been here before? Have you encountered anything similar? ? Or have heard similar rumors?”
"No." Wei Liang said without thinking, paused, and added, "To be precise, even if there was, I pretended not to have heard it...just like just now."
Wei Liang's words made Lin Yi He was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately came to his senses. Wei Liang was pretending to be confused and deceived himself.
"But can we complete the seven-day experience just by doing this?"
Wei Liang shook his head and said helplessly: "So although I want to help, in fact I am helpless."< br>
“But...”
"But what?"
"But if you really want to think about the problem, you can try it." Wei Liang stared at Lin Yi and said extremely seriously.
"Huh?" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, "You mean?"
Wei Liang smiled mysteriously: "When you were thinking about problems before, didn't you fall asleep thinking about them? Come over? So I can keep an eye on you and shake you up as soon as you show signs of dozing off."
"How do you feel?"
"I can't understand your feeling of being stared at, but I think you feel very bad..."
"If you really feel that you are in a desperate situation, how about..." Try it?"
"This..." Lin Yi hesitated, and then said frankly, "If you try it, will you... die?"
Wei Liang didn't care. For him, he said seriously: "It's okay if you shake it awake. If you don't wake up, you will die."
"The key now is that you are targeted by that person. Once the lights in the classroom go out again , it’s hard to say what will happen.”
Lin Yi fell silent.
The air suddenly became quiet, and Wei Liang did not urge anything. The only sound left in the silent classroom was the sound of the incandescent lamp hanging from the ceiling shaking under the long iron chain.
Lin Yi rubbed his watch, closed his eyes, and took a few deep breaths.
There was a sound of wind outside the window, fine raindrops slapped on the window, and the cold air spread into white mist.
The rustling hands of the quartz watch fluctuated with Lin Yi's breathing.
On one side are students whose ability to act depends on the environment, and whose behavior patterns are still unpredictable for the time being;
On the other side are the indescribable people who are pulled into the abyss once they think deeply. A sense of devouring...
It seems there are problems with both paths!
Lin Yi suddenly felt like he was racking his brains to choose a way to die.
Obviously...neither of these two options is what he wants.
He wanted to get the experience bonus of 30,000 yuan alive to subsidize his grandma's medical expenses, so he couldn't take any risks, especially in such an unknown battle with no chance of winning.
"The thoughts I made before all appeared unintentionally, so I was able to extract them in time with the help of Wei Liang."
"If I take the initiative to think, in Will the red line of the rules be crossed in this environment? "
Everything is unknown.
"You can only find solutions from the rules. Complying with the rules is the means to achieve self-protection!"
"Although the process just now was extremely dangerous, in the final analysis, we escaped because we followed the rules."
"Once the rules are violated, the consequences are unimaginable."
Lin Yi spit out a long sentence. After taking a breath, he opened his eyes. Under Wei Liang's waiting gaze, he shook his head and denied:
"Forget it, I can't afford the gamble."
"This is not If something goes wrong while playing the game, we, no, I don’t have the chance to ‘load’ it again.”
"Then there's nothing I can do." Wei Liang was regretful and happy at the same time, "But I believe you can find a way on your own, come on!"
"Yes." Lin Yi nodded.
Wei Liang consoled him: "Besides, maybe the lights in the classroom won't go out until dawn, don't you think so?"
"You can talk..." Lin Yi said helplessly.
Wei Liang always speaks in accordance with his decisions. One second, he feels like he will try his best to reincarnate and start a new life if he fails. The next second, he comforts him seriously... …
"Liangzi can only play with the wind..."
Lin Yi gave up the idea of seeking decisive advice from Wei Liang.
He glanced at his watch.
23:55.
There are 5 minutes until midnight.
0:00 is a very subtle time point, especially in a strange environment, it is easy to think of metaphysical rules such as not looking in the mirror.
The more you are in something wrong, the easier it is to have an aura of terror.
Invisibly, Lin Yi also felt a double sense of oppression from time and classmates.
"Old Lin, no, I'm a little sleepy. I have to read a book for a while to refresh myself. If you have anything to do, just tell me. Don't do it alone." Wei Liang warned, and then turned the page Comics at hand.
Lin Yi nodded and said nothing.
"First of all, make sure...it's okay to think about problems, but you can't think about things that are 'unreasonable'..."
"Especially the kind of problems that conflict with the rules I know. . ”
“So...I must find out the reason why that classmate pays attention to me within the scope allowed by the rules, and I must find a way to solve this before things get bad. Crisis."
Lin Yi recited the student rules one by one in his mind, looking for everything related to the teaching building...
In the end, he only found one and the last rule. ：
[Please pay attention to your health. If you find yourself experiencing dizziness, dizziness, nausea or other uncomfortable symptoms during school, please find the dormitory or class teacher before staying overnight. He will take you to the infirmary, and the school doctor will take you to the school gate. . 】
But the rules of the teaching building also say:
[It is prohibited to leave the classroom after 21:00. Please study by yourself until 7:40 the next day. During this period, if you see outside the window If something unusual happens or someone calls you outside the door, please ignore it. 】
"The rules conflict again...?"
Whenever this happens, he can't help but want to understand the connection between the rules, but he has failed. After losing money several times, he decisively chose to follow the rules of the teaching building first according to his location - the teaching building.
But other than that, he couldn't find any other rules from the official, that is, the school.
The only things left that can be included for reference are the few words of the head teacher and the few minutes of dialogue with Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang.
"There are two key points in Xu Shunkang's words. The first is to abide by the rules, and the second is not to think..."
"I have already understood the meaning of the words. , As for not thinking, it should be what I understand as not thinking about 'problematic things'..."
"There is obviously no problem in thinking like this. Xu Shunkang didn't make it clear because he wanted to use the approach. Avoid leading me to think..."
Just like when talking, A keeps emphasizing in negative sentences that B should not buy a blue signature pen, but in the end, B buys a blue signature pen instead.
If you want B to not buy a blue rollerball pen, the easiest way is not to even tell B about the blue rollerball pen.
Xu Shunkang’s approach is similar but similar in approach.
If you don’t have time to explain things clearly, just don’t explain them, so as to avoid making people think too much because they have heard too much and lead to surprises. "Then there are the words of the head teacher... The most critical point in what the head teacher said is actually "ignore"."
Ignoring seems simple, but in fact it is very difficult to do it. It is true that Wei Liang can do it because his talent is focused on such strange skills.
"Then, if you combine the limited clues together, what you get is——"
"Don't think in thought, ignore reality in behavior...and then obey the instructions when the unexpected comes. With some emergency rules, you can get a "safe" environment!"
When he came to this conclusion, Lin Yi suddenly looked at Wei Liang who was reading the comics with great interest. The word "submit" slowly rose from the bottom of his heart.
"This is ridiculous... isn't it what Ryoko does?"
Wei Liang's subconscious reaction was exactly the same as Lin Yi's survival method after peeling off the cocoon!
Chang Wei, you still said you don’t know martial arts? !
Wei Liang felt Lin Yi's burning gaze and trembled subconsciously.
"What's wrong, Old Lin? The look in your eyes makes me feel bad..." He shrank his neck.
"Nothing..." Lin Yidao.
"Is Ryoko really as wise as a fool...or as wise as a fool? Is it really such a coincidence?"
"But, I always feel that something is not right..."
Lin Yi feels the phenomenon It is like this, but the principle is not like this. There should be some kind of logic in it, and he is just going around the surface.
He wanted to think deeply, but he felt that as long as he went even a little deeper, that weird and indescribable sense of terror would invade his will, and then... induce him to think deeply!
Can't think too much...
He obviously needs to keep thinking, but there seems to be a shackles in the range of thinking, forcing him to only reason within a limited range, and cannot think beyond the boundary at all.
"Damn it."
Lin Yi shook his head slightly, not willing to put the half-assed conclusion he had deduced into the entire incident after the classroom lights flashed. Let’s briefly review the situation and see if we can find the reason why we were locked.
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly noticed that the light and shadow in the classroom flickered again.
"?!" Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
But this time he stared at the ceiling for half a minute, and in the end he still didn't find any incandescent lamp flickering.
Just when he was a little confused, the light in the classroom flickered again!
His pupils shrank suddenly, and he reacted instantly: "It's not the lights in the classroom that are flashing! It's...the corridor!"
He turned to look at the corridor, and sure enough, , the lights in the corridor are beating at a strange frequency.
"How many lights must flash together to affect the light in the classroom?"
Just when Lin Yi felt frightened, a subtle wave passed along the wall tiles of the classroom and reached the soles of his feet.
In the water dispenser behind the circular lecture theater, a subtle ripple appeared on the water surface.
"Dong..."
"Dong..."
"Dong..."
Something seemed to be colliding outside. Every collision would cause the entire classroom to tremble slightly, and the incandescent lights in the corridor would also jump.
He looked at the classroom window. Due to the temperature difference between inside and outside, a layer of white water vapor filled the window glass.
Through the water vapor, he could only see something gray. Under the illumination of the corridor lights, the thick fog slapped the window glass like surging waves.
The whole classroom is becoming more and more like a ship sailing in the deep sea fog on a stormy night, and it seems that it will capsize at any time.
Suddenly, he saw something standing up from the fog, and the light from the corridor cast his shadow on the glass filled with moisture.
Suddenly, the rules of the student code came to his mind:
[During this period, if you notice any strange noises or see strange figures outside the window, please ignore them, especially When they call you in the dormitory or outside the classroom. 】
He quickly withdrew his gaze and immersed himself in reading the comic book at hand.
He flipped through it casually, but his mind couldn't help but think of the pictures he had seen before.
The shadow seemed to be formed after some creatures struggled together, and the "dong-dong-dong" sound was very much like the sound of stone tools hitting each other.
Every time the collision sounded, it spread out like a shock wave...
"Old Lin, you held the book upside down." Wei Liang's voice rang in his ears.
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses.
Wei Liang's voice continued to ring in my ears: "Well, after all, this is a remote mountain in the countryside. It is normal for some small rolling stones to appear in abnormal weather. Just don't think too much about it."
"Rolling... stone?"
"It's just the tremor just now, isn't it just rolling rocks on the mountain? Don't think too much about it. It's a long night and only comics can accompany you. Let's read a book!" Wei Liang said.
Lin Yi's mind went around a few times before he finally understood the meaning of Wei Liang's words.
He looked solemn, and immediately straightened the comic book in front of him, no longer thinking about the situation outside the classroom, and then slowly started reading.
At this moment, Wei Liang pushed a book in front of Lin Yi and said seriously:
"Your book "Dragon It will be very uncomfortable when you get up. Come on, come on, try this book of mine. I just finished the first volume and it’s just for you..."
Lin Yi took it and took a look. The cover of the book showed a nurse in a charming pose...
His eyebrows raised slightly and he looked at the title of the book.
"Night X Sick Building (Hardcover Edition)".
""Night Immerse yourself in the story... The most important thing is that this is a hardcover version."
Lin Yi opened the book doubtfully, and he hesitated: "H comic..."
Wei Liang said disdainfully: "You read it with colored glasses. This kind of comics often requires a dialectical perspective, starting from the painting style and plot, to think about what kind of philosophical thoughts the author uses such stories to express, etc. Wait, okay?"
"Instead of sticking to the picture itself."
"Forget it, you don't understand this, just look through it!"
After Wei Liang finished speaking, he lowered his head and started reading the book again.
Lin Yi was stunned for a while, nodded, and looked at it silently...
Not long after he read the book "Night X Sick Building", he was affected by the flickering lights in the corridor and the constant shaking of the ground.
A fierce battle seemed to have broken out outside the classroom, and powerful shock waves hit the classroom like ocean waves.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."
In the classroom, those weird students seemed to sense something, and they turned around neatly at the same time and with the same movements. He raised his head and focused his gaze on the window glass.
X023, May 7, 0:08, Class B, Class 2.
Outside the classroom, terrifying figures were rolling in the mist, and terrifying shock waves seemed to destroy everything.
In the classroom, more than thirty weird classmates were watching the shadows on the windows like puppets, with different brilliance flowing in the depths of their empty eyes.
Or desire, or obsession, or madness, or...
Fear!
