Chapter 5 Teaching Building Basement
Wei Liang's words were even more chilling than the breath coming from the stairwell. Lin Yi found that his hands were shaking even more violently.
"Lao Lin, the building regulations state that the building has only four floors, no basements or more floors..."
Wei Liang grabbed Lin Yi's hand and shook his head to signal him not to enter the stairwell, his eyes full of pleading and fear.
Lin Yi hesitated, but the image of the teaching building he had just seen appeared in his mind at the same time. There were more than seven floors visible to the naked eye!
"The teaching building only has four floors? But I clearly saw at least seven floors?"
Lin Yi was puzzled, and he looked at the entrance to the stairwell in front of him.
Behind this isolation fire door seems to be another world. The dim light guides the road to hell. The intermittent sound of wind echoes in the dark tunnel, like a call from another world.
Just as he was hesitating about whether the stairwell existed and how many floors the teaching building should have, a feeling of fatigue and weakness rose silently from his heart.
He didn't realize anything was wrong at first, but soon he found that the staircase seemed to be twisted by some force, and the ground under his feet also began to twist irregularly...
He seemed to be hallucinating, as if something was impacting his perception of the teaching building.
This indescribable sense of terror was distorting his will and cognition bit by bit, and seemed to be devouring him.
At the critical moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder, and Tian Bufan's firm voice rang in his ears: "The stairwell really exists."
This sentence was the final word, shattering his hesitation.
Lin Yi held his forehead with his hand and took a few deep breaths. The feeling of weakness and fatigue in his heart gradually dissipated, and the teaching building that had originally appeared distorted seemed to have returned to normal.
The previous scenes seemed like an absurd illusion.
"A qualified player should obey and understand the rules." Tian Bufan rubbed his nose and looked at the abyss-like stairwell entrance. "First of all, we can be sure that this campus is very abnormal."
"Secondly, from the series of events that have happened since entering school until now, abiding by the student code of conduct, or in other words, abiding by the rules that should be followed, is the key to ensuring our own safety in this survival game."
Tian Bufan glanced at Wei Liang.
"Now it seems that there are more rules besides the student code..."
"It's really interesting! It's getting more and more interesting!"
"How about we go together?" Tian Bufan looked at Lin Yi, a hint of excitement flowing in his calm eyes.
Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang and gently placed his hand on Wei Liang's arm.
"Liangzi, the most important thing now is to get the student ID card, otherwise we won't even be able to comply with the rules."
Wei Liang's face showed pain, and his eyes moved back and forth between Lin Yi and the stairwell, his eyes full of struggle.
In the end, he shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
"Hey... Although I came once, it seems that there is nothing I can do now except hug your thighs tightly!"
After that, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, tried to calm himself down, and then said, "Let's go."
Seeing this, Tian Bufan nodded and stepped into the stairwell first.
Lin Yi glanced at the watch on his wrist.
19: 45.
After silently noting the time in his mind, he followed Tian Bufan's steps.
The crowd followed closely behind.
……
X023年5月6日，19：47。
Teaching building, in the stairwell leading to the underground floor.
He had been walking down the stairs for two minutes, but Lin Yi still didn't see the exit.
He looked back at the stairs he had walked up, and then looked at the stairs below him. The spiral steps looked like a Fibonacci sequence in his field of vision, and they were just a tiny dot in the sequence.
It was clearly just a narrow stairwell, but after Lin Yi walked for a while, he found that the stairwell was gradually becoming wider, giving him a strange illusion that the world was being stretched.
After walking for a while, Tian Bufan suddenly stopped, thinking about something, and then asked, "What time is it?"
Lin Yi glanced at his watch: "19:52."
"When you came in?"
"19:45."
"It's been almost ten minutes and we still can't get down to the basement?" Tian Bufan frowned, "This shouldn't be the case, right?"
"What do you mean...which link went wrong?"
Tian Bufan shook his head.
"No, there is no problem, but that is exactly the biggest problem."
"It's the same as if you didn't say anything!" Wei Shan seemed a little annoyed. "I just want to know how we can leave here?"
Kuai Hongji crossed his arms over his chest and walked down the stairs slowly, saying sinisterly, "I don't mind. It's quite cool here."
Wei Shan glared at Kuai Hongji and said sarcastically, "You bastard just likes cold and gloomy things. I might as well bury you here!"
Kuai Hongji smiled, looked at Tian Bufan and said, "Mr. Tian, think of a way to get out of this quickly, or someone will go berserk again!"
"Ugh--" Wei Shan suddenly rushed to Kuai Hongji, grabbed his collar, and pressed him against the wall with a "bang".
Kuai Hongji's face flushed a little as his neck was choked, but he managed to smile with difficulty, and his eyes showed a provocative look without any scruples: "You have no strength at all, didn't you eat?"
"Stop messing around!" Lin Yi walked over, grabbed Wei Shan's hand, and patted Kuai Hongji on the shoulder. He lowered his voice and said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after we leave here first!"
Kuai Hongji tilted his neck to glance at Wei Shan, raised his eyebrows and licked his tongue, smiling even more wantonly: "No problem, no problem, you are the boss, you have the final say! Hehe..."
"Heh!" Wei Shan sneered, shrugged his shoulders, turned his head away and said nothing.
Lin Yi said: "Mr. Tian, have you found anything?"
He asked casually, but unexpectedly he got an answer from Tian Bufan.
"Yes, come here quickly."
Lin Yi immediately went downstairs quickly. After only ten steps, he saw Tian Bufan standing in front of a blue-gray isolation fire door. There was a green emergency exit sign above the door and a sign "B1" on the wall.
"Let's go, we're at the basement floor." Tian Bufan didn't know what he was thinking, he smiled and opened the fire door.
The bright yellow light shone through the door. Although it was underground, it could actually carry a hint of the evening breeze.
Tian Bufan was the first to go out, and Lin Yi said to Wei Liang: "Let's go!"
"Ah? Let's go?" Wei Liang opened his mouth wide: "This, this, this... is there really a basement?"
He walked into the door doubtfully, and the next moment, his eyes became bigger than lanterns.
“Where…is this place?!”
Lin Yi walked into the world behind the door and was suddenly stunned.
They actually returned to the same place.
The staircase that led to the basement!
Lin Yi rubbed his eyes and looked down the stairs of the teaching building in disbelief.
Outside the teaching building, it was misty and rainy, with layers of fog piling up like mountains. In the fog, some shadows were visible to the naked eye moving slowly, casting vicious glances at the teaching building from time to time.
Outside the teaching building, street lights were arranged from near to far in the rain and fog, disappearing into the depths of the fog.
"How is it possible to come back after walking along the stairs for such a long time?" Lin Yi couldn't calm down.
The cool evening breeze mixed with a faint scent of water mist blew on Lin Yi's face. At this moment, Tian Bufan's voice rang in his ears: "Found it."
Lin Yi looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that an office had appeared on the left side of the stairwell at some point.
There was a sign on the wall at the door of the office with the words "Teacher's Office" written on it.
"Teacher's Office?" When Lin Yi saw the sign, his first reaction was not excitement, but fear.
"What on earth is going on here?"
Before Lin Yi could think more, Tian Bufan gently knocked on the door of the classroom office.
"Who is it?" A male voice with a puzzled tone sounded in the office.
"Hello, teacher. We are here to complete the admission procedures according to the signboard." Tian Bufan replied.
"Click!"
The peephole on the teacher's office door was opened from the inside, and an eye was looking out through the peephole.
"What color is the sign?" asked the man inside the door.
"Blue." Tian Bufan replied.
“Ka…”
The door was opened from the inside and a voice came from inside.
"come in."
After a pause, he seemed to say to Lin Yi and the others, "Line up. Those behind you should wait for half a minute before knocking on the door."
Lin Yi immediately stopped at the door of the office, but curiosity suddenly took over his mind, so he stretched his neck to look at the door that had not yet been closed.
Then, the bright yellow light failed to shine into the door, and Lin Yi saw nothing.
"Lao Lin." Tian Bufan suddenly thought of something before entering the office and turned back to remind him, "This office seems to be a little strange... If you are left alone by accident, remember to be alert to what others say, keep your mind working, and adapt to everything as soon as possible..."
After he said that, he entered the office and the door closed.
"What do you mean?" Lin Yi was confused for a moment. Why did Tian Bufan's words sound so much like a last will?
"Keep thinking? Don't trust others easily? Who are those others?"
He glanced down at his watch.
19: 53.
He had been waiting for half a minute, and seeing that Tian Bufan had not come out of the office yet, he walked over and prepared to knock on the door, but he suddenly thought of something and looked at Wei Liang and the others.
"Did you bring a watch?"
Wei Liang shook his head.
"Who would wear a watch if they were serious?" Kuai Hongji snorted.
"If there is no, then there is no. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Wei Shan sneered.
“Alright, alright.” Seeing that Wei Shan, who had an excess of Yang energy, and Kuai Hongji, who had an overwhelming Yin energy, were about to collide again, Lin Yi quickly separated the two of them, “Kuai Kuai, you go in first!”
The entire campus has a weird atmosphere from head to toe. I thought I would be safe in the teaching building, but I didn't expect that the teaching building was not only safer than the fog, but something else was even more wrong.
Lin Yi looked at the time, and half a minute later, he asked Wei Shan to knock on the door and enter the office, followed by Wei Liang.
Now only Mao Feiyang and he were left at the office door.
Lin Yi said, "Maozi, you go knock on the door next. I'll come back at the right time."
Under Lin Yi's gaze, Mao Feiyang moved to the door of the teacher's office with somewhat stiff steps, but he did not knock on the door.
Lin Yi felt something was wrong and asked quickly: "Maozi, what's wrong?"
He patted Mao Feiyang's shoulder gently, but Mao Feiyang jumped away a little as if by reflex, and then looked at him in shock, his breathing a little rapid.
"Maozi?" Lin Yi asked tentatively, "Are you okay?"
Mao Feiyang swallowed his saliva and then slowly said, "Lao Lin... I, why can't I see that office?"
"Ah? You can't see it?" Lin Yi pointed at the office door, "It's right here. Didn't you see Master Tian and the others go in?"
Mao Feiyang said in a trembling voice: "I... I saw you talking to the wall, and then, you bumped into the wall and disappeared!"
"I, I, I... I don't know what's going on. Can you really see the door?"
Mao Feiyang's eyes were full of fear of the unknown. Something seemed to begin to impact his perception of the wall. He began to doubt whether there was really a door on the wall.
Lin Yi quietly approached Mao Feiyang, then stretched out his hand like lightning and grabbed Mao Feiyang's arm.
Mao Feiyang subconsciously tried to pull his arm out like a frightened rabbit, but Lin Yi's grip was so strong that he couldn't pull it free at all.
"Maozi, Maozi, Maozi..."
Seeing that Mao Feiyang's breathing was getting more and more rapid, Lin Yi quickly leaned close to his ear and growled, "Maozi, listen to me first! Come with me and take a look! The door is right here!"
Lin Yi grabbed Mao Feiyang's hand and reached for the door handle.
However, just when Mao Feiyang's palm was about to touch the door handle, Mao Feiyang suddenly thought of something, and his whole body burst out with a huge force, breaking free from Lin Yi's grip.
“No, no, no… Lao Lin, that’s not right. This shouldn’t be the case!”
Mao Feiyang shook his head wildly.
“It’s actually written on the sign!”
"I think I just encountered that special situation!"
"Rule number one on the sign! If I see something other than 'Teacher's Office', I have to go down the stairs until I see the teacher's office!"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and thought of this rule, so he did not continue to stop Mao Feiyang.
Mao Feiyang looked around, found the entrance to the stairwell, rushed over, and grabbed the door handle of the isolation fire door.
Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Yi. There was no more contempt on his thin, dark face, but a solemn expression: "Old Lin... remember to abide by the rules. I'm leaving!"
After saying that, Mao Feiyang rushed into the isolation fire door.
“Bang!”
The isolation fire door slammed shut. Although it was only one door away, Lin Yi had an absurd feeling, as if he and Mao Feiyang were separated by a world.
He glanced down at his watch.
20: 00.
"Eight o'clock..."
After recalling the student rules, I realized that there were only two hours left before I could return to the dormitory. If I didn't have time to go back, I would have to spend the night in the teaching building.
But the prerequisite for staying overnight is to be in his own classroom, so he must complete the admission procedures.
Thinking of this, he reached out and knocked on the office door.
"Are you... here to deliver the food?" The voice at the door was no longer a man's, but a woman's voice with a somewhat hurried tone.
