Time Traveler Help Hotline

Many alternate dimensions that are attached to reality are either easy to enter but difficult to leave, or difficult to enter but difficult to leave.

The former is often a trap that deceives people, while the latter often hides secret treasures and inheritances.

This space clearly belonged to the former. The black dagger in Xia Yu's hand became useless after entering and he put it into his backpack.

"It seems to be a traditional, rule-based space." Ji Mo looked around but didn't see any system notification pop up. "It's not the kind of filming program those people in the urban world like to make."

He had mentioned to Chen Zhuzhu that this world was composed of seven realms and countless smaller worlds, but omitted the fact that the power of the train instance actually originated from the realm of rules.

Pollution is one of the reasons that has led to the fragmentation of the world, and it manifests in many forms, including the “weird” phenomena that have emerged from it.

These creatures possess a strong predatory instinct towards humans and often live in groups in specific areas. Once certain rules are violated in that area, they will intensify and lock onto their target.

Even if they are destroyed, the monsters will revive after a period of time.

Where they are, there are often no signs of human presence.

Therefore, although the Realm of Rules is vast, its human population is the smallest among the seven realms.

As other realms gradually developed and began to study the existence of the "mysterious," they finally deciphered the essence of its power: rules.

Furthermore, some high-level supernatural beings gradually transformed into a new race called "Strange Tales," and the word "supernatural" was no longer sufficient to encompass the characteristics of this realm, hence the name "Realm of Rules."

The bizarre is simply the one most adapted to this power; others can also learn and master it. Just as fish are the masters of the water, humans can also imitate the characteristics of fish, creating diving tools to give themselves the ability to move freely underwater.

The urban realm is the one that wields the power of rules most skillfully.

They only need to set rules and regulations, and people in the area will spontaneously resist violations. The scene can also be automatically repaired after it is damaged. There are also a large number of low-level monsters that can be used as NPCs.

If you just enter a space of rules, you will be bombarded with a bunch of rules, each with a clear purpose.

Without a doubt, you've fallen into the show's script; they're secretly filming you and won't offer any help until you die.

In a non-human-made space, the rules are often deeply hidden, and one may even need to risk one's life to try and piece together the clues little by little.

Ji Mo thought that finding the rules would take a lot of time, but Xia Yu quickly found several identical copies of the "Student Handbook" in the lockers by the corridor. The booklets emitted a faint power fluctuation.

Student Rules

[1. It is absolutely safe during class time; there will be no one walking outside the classroom. If you notice anyone outside the classroom during class time, immediately stop all activity and do not look towards windows or any other area leading outside the classroom.]

2. School is a place for learning; please do not bring any items unrelated to your studies.

3. As a student, please always wear your school uniform while on campus; this is how you prove your identity.

【4.学校的学习时间为7:40至21:00，请遵守时间，杜绝迟到。】

5. Please remember that your classmates are all very friendly and harmonious. If you suspect you are being bullied, please report it to your teacher immediately; they will provide assistance.

6. Happy times are fleeting, usually lasting 10 minutes, but the teacher may shorten the time appropriately. Don't ask too many questions; the teacher can explain as needed.

7. Running will reduce your speed and willpower to some extent, but don't worry, it will recover on its own after you leave the track. This is essential for maintaining good health.

8. The campus is large, but it has boundaries. You should not approach the boundaries in the evening or after evening self-study; if caught, the consequences will be severe.

9. Remember to return to your dormitory before room checks. If someone doesn't belong in your dormitory, ask them to leave before the check, no matter what, even if they seem pitiful. Otherwise, the entire dormitory could be in danger.

10. Please be sure to take the weekly test every Sunday morning and leave school before 2 PM.

11. Students must always remember that this is the real world, and everything that happens here is normal; there are no abnormal phenomena.

"Student rules? It seems to be an A/B system, but it's probably missing a part related to teachers."

Ji Mo quickly scanned the contents and got a general idea. These kinds of school rules were common templates; even if one hadn't experienced them firsthand, they had heard about them before.

He gazed at the school wall not far away; the further he looked, the darker and colder it became. He then looked back at the teaching building where evening self-study was about to end. There were students on almost every floor, sparsely scattered, with about ten people in each classroom.

This is different from reality, where almost every classroom in a real school is full of people.

Even during evening self-study, all students wear the same loose-fitting blue and white school uniforms.

Ji Mo clearly remembered that the rules stated that study time was before 9 PM. At this moment, there were only a few minutes left until 9 PM, and their attire was completely out of place among the students here.

"I'll go test the quality of this strange place first." Xia Yu seemed to have found his strengths again, rubbing his hands together and preparing to make a move, his eyes fixed on the teachers who were moving documents on the first floor.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yu moved to the center of the corridor like a ghost. Facing the approaching patrolling teacher, a cluster of blazing flames suddenly sprang from his fingertips, condensing into a line of fire that hissed like a venomous snake and shot out, accurately striking the other's chest!

There were no screams, no smell of burning. The "teacher" who was hit simply staggered and took a few steps back.

A charred hole remained in the teacher's suit, embers flickering at the edges. Beneath the tear lay not flesh and blood, but a chaotic, churning mass of dark matter.

"It really is strange." Xia Yu felt completely relieved. Seeing that the other party was recovering, he said irritably, "Being able to resurrect is so annoying."

Ji Mo sighed, abandoning his original idea of ​​blending in with the students to check the extent to which they had been assimilated.

The other teachers arrived at the sound, their faces contorted with rage. Strangely, even with his features twisted in anger, the eerie creature maintained a normal human appearance. His excessively handsome features made the scene seem unreal, as if a beautiful mask had been forcibly torn away to reveal a ferocious face.

In just a few rounds, he subdued all the "teachers" and brought them to the ground. The process went more smoothly than anyone could have imagined.

Ji Mo frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Something's not right. Their attacks... are too restrained."

The power these strange creatures displayed was far less dangerous than what the realm of rules should be, as if it were being suppressed by something.

But upon closer inspection of its power, one discovers a strange element mixed in with the strength of a near-third-tier expert.

Just then, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

The students poured out of the classroom and witnessed the scene.

The students screamed as they watched their teacher being beaten to his knees, his clothes torn and tattered.

"There are terrorists!"

"Damn it! Those two beat the teacher to his knees; they're definitely going to drag him back to be a slave!"

There seemed to be some strange noises mixed in.

Before more people could witness it, Ji Mo grabbed Xia Yu, who was still about to attack, and swept his gaze across the enraged crowd, hissing, "Let's go! Something's wrong!"
