Chapter 83: Chapter 38: The Notice Board in Front of the Gymnasium (Extra 1000 words)_3

"So... I can only see the Teaching Building within its premises, and only see the Gymnasium within its premises?"

"Why isn’t it like that for Liangzi?"

"Is it me who has the problem... or is it him?"

Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang with a suspicious gaze.

Feeling awkward under Lin Yi’s strange gaze, Wei Liang felt a sense of discomfort. He unconsciously curled his toes sheathed in super thick socks, scraping the ground...

"Why... why are you looking at me like that?"

"Uh... it’s nothing." Lin Yi kept his expression unchanged and quickly changed the subject, "Let’s go to the Gymnasium!"

"Liangzi most likely doesn’t have any problems..."

"So..."

Out of Wei Liang’s sight, he quietly exhaled a breath...

"So when did I start having problems?"

...

May 7, 2023, 14:12, in the vicinity of the Gymnasium, on a road illuminated by camphor trees’ lush leaves.

Lin Yi and Wei Liang walked side by side.

He suddenly missed Tian Bufan a lot. There were things he felt Tian Bufan must have realized, and if he could discuss them with Tian Bufan, many of his confusions would definitely be resolved...

"Young Master Tian..."

He sighed deeply.

Initially, he had hoped too idealistically to bump into Tian Bufan or other roommates while eating in the Cafeteria.

He did have such an encounter, but it was with an over-enthusiastic Pocket Chef who wanted to treat him to tomato meat sauce spaghetti, and a group of eager classmates wanting to join him for lunch... he damn near died in there.

"I can only hope that Young Master Tian and the others will stick to the original plan of meeting in the dormitory..." Lin Yi thought inwardly.

Before coming here, Lin Yi knew from the S City University experients’ bulletin that the dormitory was a place where they could choose to stay, so they had reserved the same dormitory.

As long as they could get to the dormitory, they would converge there.

"Hopefully, everything goes smoothly..."

He sighed again, his greatest concern was Mao Feiyang. Although the Teaching Building was admittedly abnormal, at least it was a teaching building, but as for Mao Feiyang... it was still unknown whether he had successfully left the stairwell and entered the Teaching Building.

Just as Lin Yi was lost in thoughts about his roommates, Wei Liang’s voice interrupted him: "Old Lin, we’re almost at the Gymnasium!"

Wei Liang pointed to a sign ahead: "Just past there, and about two or three more minutes to walk!"

Lin Yi immediately looked where Wei Liang pointed and saw a huge sign crudely jammed in the middle of the road, which from afar looked like an axe stuck in a tree stump.

Lin Yi asked, "Is that the sign before the Gymnasium?"

"Yes!" Wei Liang nodded, "The Gymnasium, like the dormitory, has its own specific set of rules, as well as a sign."

"Actually... Every place supposedly has a sign, but I’ve never been to the Library."

The two continued talking and arrived before the Gymnasium’s sign.

Lin Yi looked up and saw a large line on the sign:

"[Signpost ’Gymnasium’]"

"Opening hours: 24h open."

"The Gymnasium is open 24 hours?" Lin Yi was slightly startled.

The classrooms inside the Teaching Building had constraints on leaving times, the Cafeteria had opening hours for external guests, but the Gymnasium was open around the clock.

In comparison with the Teaching Building and the Cafeteria, the Gymnasium instantly seemed more imposing.

Lin Yi continued reading, and below the opening hours were two lines of huge, striking black bold font:

"The road to the Gymnasium is the only one and is equipped with street lamps (with lamp numbers). Do not step onto any paths that don’t have street lamps."

"Note: The construction location of the Gymnasium is somewhat special. The wind will be a bit strong; do not worry, it’s normal as long as there is no misty rain."

"Ah?" Lin Yi felt that the Gymnasium was not simple after reading this; the mere two lines hid more information than he thought. He suppressed the thoughts he shouldn’t have at the moment and read all the remaining rules at once.

Under these lines, there was a framed star-marked tip:

"If it starts raining while you are on the way to the Gymnasium, base your decision on the first building you see:

1, If you are facing the Gymnasium, run towards it as fast as possible on the correct path."

"2, If you are facing the Teaching Building, run towards it as fast as possible on the correct path."

"3, If you look up and see any other building, especially a Western-style castle, look around until you find either the Gymnasium or the Teaching Building."

"Please firmly believe: There are no castles within the campus area (this sentence is underlined and bolded)."

"4, If you see no buildings other than the castle, find the nearest street lamp according to the ’Student Code’ and cling tightly to this lamp post until a Physical Education Teacher or Security Guard appears."

"The Gym Teacher is someone dressed in a blue and white tracksuit, with a chest badge identifing him as a Gym Teacher;"

"The Sports Student is a person in a blue and white tracksuit, without a Student ID."

"If you encounter anyone who does not conform to the above descriptions, regardless of what he says to you, please do not respond."

"5, It’s forbidden to accompany a Sports Student."

"Upon arriving at the Gymnasium, please swipe your Student ID on the door’s automatic lending machine to receive ’Gymnasium Rules’, and enter through the main entrance, do not use other doors or staircases."

"The interior of the Gymnasium is the safest place within the campus, welcome to your visit."
