Chapter 167: 77th Chapter: There Were No Blue or Green Colors in the Campus Area

Tian Bufan continued, "The method to leave the campus, according to the rules, should be if you experience symptoms like dizziness, blurred vision, and discomfort from the lights during school, you should find either the Dormitory Supervisor or the class advisor, and then they will take you to the infirmary, from where the school doctor will send you on a blue school bus, and then you leave... right?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"Let’s hear your thoughts first," Tian Bufan said, "there’s a lot to this."

Lin Yi replied, "The Sports Student told me last night that while there’s still time, to follow the Security Guard to the school gate, and then leave on a blue bus."

"So I suspect that there are other ways to leave besides the student rulebook’s prescribed path."

Tian Bufan flatly said, "First, rule out the possibility of the Sports Student deceiving you."

Lin Yi was startled, "That..."

"Don’t trust others so easily," Tian Bufan calmly said, "The Sports Student doesn’t know how sharp your intuition is. Following the Security Guard rashly, could you be knocked out by the Security Guard or something else under sudden circumstances?"

"Ah, that..."

"Don’t rush and don’t panic. From my initial contact, the Sports Student is also fighting against something. They are at least leaning towards ’us,’ but their suggestions might not be entirely accurate without understanding our situation."

"Let me tell you about this one in the student rulebook."

"This one is easy to understand, right?"

"It can be summarized as:

One, if you feel unwell, report to the class advisor if they are around, or to the Dormitory Supervisor if they are present, and then go with them to see the school doctor.

Two, head to the school gate and ride the blue bus, which is the same school bus we rode when we arrived."

"Isn’t that right?"

Lin Yi nodded somewhat woodenly, already caught up in Tian Bufan’s train of thought.

"Let’s look at the first point, finding the class advisor and Dormitory Supervisor," Tian Bufan said, "Note that it specifies ’class advisor,’ not any other teacher, but specifically ’class advisor.’"

"Recall, throughout the day, where have you seen the class advisor? Apart from the class advisor’s office, it’s just the classroom, right?"

"So we can tentatively conclude that [the class advisor only appears in the Teaching Building], right?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"Now, the Dormitory Supervisor," Tian Bufan said like a tutor, "pull out the Dormitory Building regulations and see how the Dormitory Supervisor’s rule is written."

Lin Yi opened the Dormitory rules:

[The Dormitory Supervisor does not have a fixed uniform but will carry a lamp and wear a Dormitory Supervisor badge on their chest.

If you encounter the Dormitory Supervisor or someone claiming to be the Dormitory Supervisor on your way to the dormitory, ignore them. If you cannot ignore them, do not easily believe anything they say, nor respond to them.

From 7:40 to 21:00, if you encounter the Dormitory Supervisor or someone claiming to be the Dormitory Supervisor, ignore them directly.

After 22:20, if you have not yet found the Dormitory Management Office, seek help from the Dormitory Supervisor and unconditionally accept any help they offer and believe anything they say.

Please adhere firmly to the above rules; should you unintentionally violate any rule within the dormitory building, seek help from the Security Guard based on luck.]

Tian Bufan said, "See? The only time you can seek help from the Dormitory Supervisor is after 22:20 each day, and then you have to unconditionally accept any help they offer and believe everything they say."

"It’s like you must unconditionally obey the Dormitory Supervisor; at that time, whether or not they take you to the school doctor is up to them."

"Moreover, we can also assume that, usually, the Dormitory Supervisor is only in the Dormitory Building, right?"

Because other times, any Dormitory Supervisor appearing elsewhere should be ignored.

Comparatively, encountering the real Dormitory Supervisor can be described as ’Nine Deaths and One Life.’

"See?" Tian Bufan said calmly, "This way of leaving mentioned in the student rulebook, just the first step is very harsh."

"Hey, that one pretending to be dead," Tian Bufan shouted at the ostrich butt sticking up from a bed.

The ostrich’s butt stiffened, and silently, it shifted to a lying-flat position.

"Stop pretending to be dead," Tian Bufan said, "Tell Old Lin why you didn’t go find the class advisor or Dormitory Supervisor during your last two days here."

A voice from under the pillow, Wei Liang’s voice, said, "I love money more than anything."

"Love money my ass," Tian Bufan scoffed, "Give yourself a chance to rephrase that."

The ostrich under the pillow was silent for a while: "..."

Then, finally, it said, "Didn’t dare to go find..."

"Why is that?" Tian Bufan pressed.

The ostrich’s voice from the pillow sounded muffled, "The gym teacher told me absolutely not to go find the school doctor, but didn’t give a reason... so I didn’t go."

Tian Bufan seemed to have communicated the message to Lin Yi he intended, his eyes slightly narrowed, he let Wei Liang off, and then turned to Lin Yi, "Did you hear that?"

"’Do not go find the school doctor’?" Lin Yi mulled over these words again but still couldn’t figure it out.

Why not believe what’s written in the student rulebook?

The student rulebook wouldn’t lie, would it?

Tian Bufan said, "If you don’t understand, let’s follow this line of thought... you’ve found the school doctor, and the school doctor has taken you to the school gate."

Lin Yi nodded.

"Then what if you don’t see the blue school bus, or, the bus you see isn’t blue?" Tian Bufan’s lips curled in a mocking arc, "The next possible developments, the student rulebook doesn’t mention at all."

"This...?!"

Lin Yi seemed to realize something, his body suddenly shuddered, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Often, the rules mention something about these unknown situations stating, ’you will know what to do,’ but the student rulebook says nothing, only vaguely mentioning "when you see the blue school bus, immediately get on, and the driver will take you out of the campus."
