I Upended Yet Another Campus Urban Legend

Chapter 48

“Lin Yi Xiong,” Cheng Yang, who was sitting opposite Lin Yi, suddenly raised his head, “Do you think… sigh, forget it.” UCMPjz

“Oh.” Lin Yi picked up the spoon, scooped up soup and brought it to his mouth.

Cheng Yang said bitterly, “Lin Yi Xiong, why aren’t we talking about what just happened? Normally, at this time, shouldn’t we be talking about? Isn’t that what’s normal?”

After Lin Yi took a sip of the soup, he said honestly, “Because I’m drinking soup.”

Cheng Yang stretched his neck, moved closer to Lin Yi and said, “Lin Yi Xiong, Lin Yi Xiong, do you think our president will be under some sort of psychological shadow because of this?” hW2fy5

Lin Yi drank the soup and thought for a while. “Probably not.”

“It won’t?” Cheng Yang nodded, and said to himself, “I guess you’re right. After all, he is the president of the student union. There isn’t any storm he hasn’t weathered.”

The two of them had lunch and went back to their dorm rooms after picking up the textbooks from the dorm auntie.

The meeting in classroom B-101 was still continuing on.

Qin Zhou threw the campus rulebook onto the table. “Same as 7-7, 2-6 no longer shows up in here.”

Everyone’s expressions suddenly turned heavy. They had just left the 2-6 Rule World barely a couple hours ago. There hadn’t been time yet to revise the campus rules but the rules were updated by themselves.

They couldn’t help but think of their late senior’s speculation — the whole university is a rule.

Ou Ying’s expression suddenly turned ugly. The joy at the 2-6 Rule’s disappearance vanished instantly. Yqe47C

“Isn’t this a good thing?” Qin Zhou looked at everyone. “What’s with all the long faces?”

“Zhou Ge…how is this a good thing?” The deputy captain of the patrol team had the ugliest expression.

“Isn’t finding out the truth a good thing?” Qin Zhou asked back. “Now that we know, we can deal with it. If pulling a long face was of any use, would we still be trapped here?”

The deputy captain stopped speaking. Looking at it this way, it was indeed a good thing. 1DLoKf

In the past, they would do a review of the instance, study the Rules of Death they’d come out with, sum up the countermeasures and then immediately update the campus rules.

Ou Ying asked, “Zhou Ge, so what should we do?”

Ou Ying knew Qin Zhou well. Since Qin Zhou said it was a good thing, he must have some plans.

“Zheng Liu, find the list of students who were in the same class as Senior Lu.” Qin Zhou said to Zheng Liu, who is in charge of the student files, “Before it gets dark.” t OP3R

“No problem.” Zheng Liu said.

“I’ll go check some files related to that for the time being. I’ll be leaving my duties to you temporarily.” Qin Zhou looked at Ou Ying.

Then he said to Ou Ying and the deputy captain, “Give Luo Yi a simple farewell ceremony. Let those close to him send him off.”

Ou Ying: “OK.” hw3Idv

Qin Zhou said to Yan Yao who was in charge of liaising with the school. “During this period, there won’t be any Rule Monsters that need to be supplemented. Notify the school to resume normal classes.”

Yan Yao: “No problem.”

Qin Zhou said, “Before the classes starts, emphasize to the professors repeatedly to hide their identities. They mustn’t let the students find out and cause a panic, especially that Jiang…”

Yan Yao said, “Teacher Jiang Tao.” M4SlHc

—

In the afternoon, just as Lin Yi woke up from his afternoon nap, his cell phone rang.

It was their advisor telling the students they could pick up their textbooks. Lin Yi and Cheng Yang already got theirs and there was nothing else to do in the afternoon. The advisor allowed them to review by themselves for now.

Cheng Yang couldn’t even understand some words in the textbook so he had no choice but to go to Lin Yi for guidance. TpU VK

Lin Yi was momentarily silent, then said, “Ask the advisor if he has any elementary school textbooks.”

Cheng Yang said sadly, “Is my foundation already so bad?”

In order to prevent Cheng Yang from being thrown into the Rule World, Lin Yi had no choice but to nod honestly, “It would be even better if there were kindergarten textbooks.”

… Cheng Yang cried and called the advisor. iePhkv

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

The advisor’s perplexed voice came from the loudspeaker of Cheng Yang’s mobile phone. “The school only has university level textbooks. If you need it, Cheng Yang, I can try asking the student union if I we can get some but don’t get your hopes up.”

Jtfcu Tjcu kjr fmrajalm. “Ktjcx sbe, Kfjmtfg Aljcu! Vbggs obg atf lcmbcnfclfcmf, Kfjmtfg Aljcu!”

Lin Yi pursed his lower lip. He felt that the student union had a little too much power. The more things went on like this, the guiltier he felt.

Now he had time he didn’t dare to think too deeply.

He thought of the first time meeting ‘It’. It had been a dramatic development.

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Lin Yi had been smart since he was a child. As an elementary student, he was able to participate in the middle school math olympiad competitions. It just so happened that the questions during the math olympiad were a bit difficult that year and Lin Yi really wanted to take first place.

First place came with a 2000 yuan prize money. O9VfpR

As he was writing and writing, his thinking started to get away from his grasp. He couldn’t remember anything after that. It was as if he had fallen asleep and when he woke up, he was indeed lying on a bed.

His parents were very worried about him and asked him if he had been under too much pressure. Lin Yi was muddled.

His parents told him that Lin Yi suddenly stood up mid-competition. The proctor asked him to sit back down but Lin Yi didn’t listen. The proctor came to stop him but Lin Yi pushed him and the proctor ended up on the floor on his ass.

Lin Yi was only ten years old at that time. 4UCj0c

“It” didn’t appear only once. It appeared about three to five times a year. Lin Yi once suspected himself of having a split personality and his parents even took him to see a psychiatrist. After looking at various health diagnosis, Lin Yi fell into deep thought.

Later on, he wasn’t the only one going strange. His parents also gradually became strange but they turned strange in a different way that Lin Yi was.

When they lost their heartbeat but were still able to walk and open their eyes, Lin Yi came upon two admission letters during the search of their house – Unnatural Engineering University.

After that, Lin Yi would occasionally see ‘It’ in the mirror. ‘It’ looked exactly like him but it’s expression was always wooden. 6KzIdL

The only conversation between Lin Yi and ‘It’ went:

Lin Yi asked, “Who are you?”

‘It’: I am you.

Now Lin Yi was panicking, especially in light of what Qin Zhou had told him — that the whole university could be regarded as a rule, a Monster who had eaten many many people and greatly increased its strength, one that was no longer satisfied to being restricted within the campus rules and came out. A1G og

Was it ‘It’?

If it is ‘It’ then isn’t it me?

Lin Yi was even more flustered and a little scared — scared that he really wasn’t human and that such a powerful student would find out.

Cheng Yang next to him didn’t know that Lin Yi was already going on a mental journey. He pulled over the textbook and pointed to a certain symbol. “Lin Yi Xiong, what do these dv, dt, and ds mean? Is this dv the dv I’m thinking of?” IYWax5

Lin Yi came back to his senses. Although he had come to this university to verify things, now that he really had to confront it, he felt a little terrified.

Lin Yi timidly suppressed his thoughts and asked Cheng Yang, “What dv you are thinking about?”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Cheng Yang: “DVD?”

Lin Yi: “…” 8yTJU2

Lin Yi said coldly, “Have those kindergarten textbooks arrived yet? I think that based on your relationship with Senior, Senior should be able to find a way to get them for you.”

Cheng Yang: “…”

Cheng Yang said, “My relationship with Senior? If Lin Yi Xiong means President Qin, shouldn’t the correct answer be for Lin Yi Xiong to help me get the textbooks based on your relationship with President Qin?”

Suddenly reminded of that gossip, Lin Yi choked. “In a nutshell, dv means instantaneous velocity, dt means minute time, dr minute radius difference, they’re generally used for definite integrals.” G9lvH5

After thinking for a while, Lin Yi asked coldly, “Do you need me to explain what definite integrals are?”

Is that strong enough of an attack for you?

Still you still need the bubble-popping sound effect?

… Cheng Yang picked up his phone. “I’m going to ask where my kindergarten textbooks are.” fwPTqy

Just as Cheng Yang picked up his phone, Lin Yi’s phone and his phone rang at the same time. The caller was Ou Ying.

They don’t have any option to reject. They could only wait for the phone to ring for five seconds and then get connected automatically.

Cheng Yang smiled and said, “Ou Ying Xue Jie.”

Lin Yi said politely, “Ou Ying Xue Jie.” rdxDJu

After exchanging greetings, Ou Ying said, “Luo Yi’s farewell ceremony will be at 5 o’clock in the afternoon this weekend.”

She didn’t ask if Lin Yi and Cheng Yang could come. After all, Lin Yi, Cheng Yang and Luo Yi didn’t even know each other. It was just that Ou Ying thought about it and since they all went through the 2-6 Rule World together she thought it would be better to let them know.

Cheng Yang said, “Ou Ying Xue Jie, thank you for letting us know.”

Ou Ying said, “Yes, then…” te1s8d

Ou Ying seemed to be very busy. They could hear people keep calling her over by her end.

Lin Yi heard the conversation between Ou Ying and some other students.

“Ou Ying Jie, do you know where Zhou Ge is?”

“Are you looking for Zhou Ge to have something signed? Give me the documents. I’ll be taking over Zhou Ge’s duties for the time being. Please let the others know and please don’t bother Zhou Ge during this time.” Q5H61b

Cheng Yang made a face at Lin Yi and mouthed, “What’s happening? President Qin seems to have really suffered a blow.”

Lin Yi paused and then thought of Qin Zhou in the 7-7 Rule World.

He was everyone’s pillar.

Qin Zhou has now closed down his stall, he must have really been struck hard. eGEMa9

Although Lin Yi was quite afraid of Qin Zhou right now, he couldn’t deny that he thought of Qin Zhou as being great, glorious and correct. So great, glorious and correct that he has influenced him into taking a broader view. he felt a little sorry for Qin Zhou becoming dejected because of the 2-6 Monster.

Suddenly hit with an idea, Lin Yi asked Ou Ying, “Ou Ying Xue Jie, can you grant me access?”

After Ou Ying finished signing, she realized that the call was still on-going. She asked, “Access to what?”

Lin Yi: “Access to call Senior.” U9dfXN

Ou Ying paused, thinking that Lin Yi had discovered something.

“Alright.”

Lin Yi didn’t expect Ou Ying to agree so quickly and he immediately added, “Ou Ying Xue Jie, just access to send text messages is fine.”

For the social phobic, text messages were best! lDpRFV

A few minutes after hanging up the phone, Ou Ying granted him permission.

Lin Yi looked at the extra name in his phone’s address book. It had been automatically placed at the top – Qin Zhou.

“Oh.”

What should he say? e9dBps

Lin Yi raised his head and asked Cheng Yang for help.

Cheng Yang was also very enthusiastic. “Just praise him! Praise him hard, blow rainbow farts like crazy! Let President Qin build up his confidence again!”

Lin Yi became nervous: “Specifics! I need specifics!”

Late at night. Y8nV9M

Qin Zhou was searching in the archives room. Based on what he knew of his predecessor, his senior’s speculation wouldn’t be groundless. There must be something to support it.

He had read a lot of files and his eyes had gone a little dry. His brain hurt.

He put down that files and rubbed his temples.

There was no one else in the archives room. It was quiet all around. fnQR0c

Qin Zhou simply lay down on the ground to rest, ready to continue checking after a short break. But when he closed his eyes, tiny fragments of memories so difficult to grasp firmly suddenly appear in his mind.

Just like a dream, though he felt like he remembered something, trying to go deeper, he came up blank.

Qin Zhou also thought of everyone’s recounting of what had happened in the 2-6 Rule World.

Ou Ying had said, “The next morning, Luo Yi died at the hands of the 2-6 Monster. At that time, Zhou Ge was covered in blood.” PBSeE8

“We couldn’t find Lin Yi. I was in a hurry to do the Replay. After I had that realization, I found Lin Yi in the kitchen. Lin Yi said he was locked in the refrigerator.”

Cheng Yang had said, “I didn’t know anything on the first night. I think someone knocked me out. When I woke up the next day, it was Ou Ying Xue Jie who had pinched me awake and then I saw Luo Yi Xue Chang’s body.”

“Because Lin Yi Xiong hadn’t come back, Ou Ying Xue Jie and I realized something was wrong and went looking for him but we couldn’t find him. I heard movement in the kitchen at the time, but I never thought that Lin Yi Xiong would be locked in the refrigerator. After all, Lin Yi Xiong ain’t small, I didn’t think he would fit in there.”

Ou Ying had said, recounting from Lin Yi’s perspective, “I found the 2-6 Monster on the first day. I judged it to be in Zhou Ge, I mean, Senioe. Because Senior told me to ‘be careful’ but it was daytime, there was no danger. I was with Senior in the 7-7 Rule World and I think, based on my understanding of Senior, that he wouldn’t casually just tell me to ‘be careful’.” e7Fif

“””I ran into Senior when I went looking for something to use in the kitchen. Something must have happened between Senior and I at the time, but because I was too nervous and scared, I forgot this part. When I went to clean up the spilled mercury the next morning, I ran into Senior again. But because I forgot what had happened last night, I didn’t have my guard up against Senior and I didn’t know that I had already been exposed. I ended up getting locked in the refrigerator by Senior.”

”

“On the last night, Senior and the woman in red teamed up to kill me…”

Qin Zhou breathed out a shaky breath. There was a fire in his heart but there was no way or way for him to vent, so the fire turned into powerless irritability. oFERNe

Qin Zhou wanted to smoke. He didn’t care about the archives’ no smoking regulations. Just as he was about to take out a cigarette, his phone dinged.

He had received a text message.

There were very few people who could contact him directly. Qin Zhou had already handed over his work to Ou Ying. Receiving a text message at this time, he thought that something must have gone wrong with the student union.

The unknown fire in his heart burned even more vigorously. vwPykS

Qin Zhou took out his mobile phone and was slightly taken aback when he saw the name in the text message.

Then he clicked on the text message.

【Lin Yi】:

Hello Senior, this is Lin Yi. EV3d x

I just want to tell you that you are really amazing. You have saved so many people. I admire you very much. You are my idol.

Our confrontation in the 2-6 Rule World has filled me with admiration. You are too too too too too too strong.

You have to hospitalize to be strong.

Your junior, Lin Yi. rJZHiO

Then the phone beeped again, and another text message was received.

【Lin Yi】:

I wish you to continue to be strong, not ‘hospitalized’. It was a typo…

Room 304 in the freshmen dormitory for freshmen. pSlkJG

Lin Yi frantically paced back and forth in the room: “Aaaaahhhh, aaaaaaahhhhh!”

“Aaaaahhhh, aaaaahhh! Why did I have to have a typo now of all times!”

“Aaaaaahhh! I’ve got no words! No words!” Lin Yi felt unwell. “Why can’t I withdraw the message!”

“Lin Yi Xiong, if you used WeChat steps, you have more than 10,000 steps by now.” Cheng Yang looked at Lin Yi: “Has President replied to you?” jECdoI

Lin Yi bit his lip and said aggrievedly, “I told Senior to go get hospitalized. If he doesn’t come beat me up, I must have been a devout vegetarian Buddhist in my past life and accumulated a ton of good luck.”

Cheng Yang said, “The president wouldn’t beat you.”

“No.” Lin Yi said, “I really feel like…”

‘Ding’. 6 zVXl

He had gotten a reply.

Cheng Yang’s eyes lit up, “He replied to you! He replied!”

Lin Yi was so nervous that he was nearly dying. “Ye-ye-yeah, he replied to me.”

Cheng Yang: “What did he say?” TzsLoi

Lin Yi: “Let’s take a look.”

To be honest, he hadn’t even been this nervous when he cheated his cousin out of 50 yuan.

“Quick, quick.” Cheng Yang: “What’s his answer?”

Lin Yi looked at the text message and said, “Understood, Little genius.” axN17d
