407: Chapter 184: Is the Library…?
(Extra 3100 words) 407: Chapter 184: Is the Library…?
(Extra 3100 words) “Green Forest Belt?!” Lin Yi’s eyes widened.
“Like not being able to find the main entrance, the library also can’t be found?”
First, there was the Art Building that existed despite not being marked on the map, and then there was a library that was marked on the map but didn’t exist.
This campus is really getting more and more interesting…
Lin Yi muttered through gritted teeth.
“It’s not that absurd,” Tian Bufan softly shook his head.
“I stopped in front of the Green Forest Belt, but…
the position of that Green Forest Belt is actually behind the Teaching Building.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi felt as if an electric current shot through his body, and several sparks of inspiration flashed in his mind, but he couldn’t grasp them imdiately.
The Teaching Building had three sections lined up in a row, seemingly with many entrances, but in reality, one could only access them from the steps, and all the steps faced the sa direction.
That is to say, under normal circumstances, it’s impossible to circle back behind the Teaching Building, and although it’s just the backside, in reality, the Teaching Building is constructed on a hillside, with completely different routes in front and back!
“But think about it carefully, Old Lin, what is behind the Teaching Building?”
“Isn’t it the Green Forest Belt and the mountains?”
“Think harder,” Tian Bufan said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
Lin Yi thought hard and then suddenly realized sothing, exclaiming, “You an…
the library is inside the Teaching Building?!”
Otherwise, why ntion unintentionally entering the library?
“Speaking of which, it was the inspiration you gave that helped straighten out this logic just now,” Tian Bufan confessed.
“Ah?” Lin Yi was stunned again, but this ti, he imdiately caught on, “Wait, Young Master Tian, are you saying…
the floor plan for Teaching Building D Block has sothing to do with the library?”
“I even suspect…” Tian Bufan narrowed his eyes and said word by word, “that Teaching Building D Block is the library.”
Sss…
A sound of soone sucking in a breath of cold air broke the silence.
But when Lin Yi had just opened his mouth wide, sobody had already sucked in a breath of cold air before him?!
“Hey, weren’t you asleep?” Tian Bufan pushed Wei Liang’s bed.
Wei Liang responded with a very deliberate “snore.”
“…” With this move, he silenced all the others instantly.
Teaching Building D Block is the library…
Lin Yi chewed over the sentence as if he were trying to break it down for analysis.
At the sa ti, the rules regarding Teaching Building D Block and the library surfaced one by one in his mind.
Well, no need to go through them one by one…
Because there were only three:
[There are only four floors in the Teaching Building, no basent, no elevator, and certainly no D Block.
Should you accidentally discover areas outside the four floors of the Teaching Building, you are forbidden to go there.]
[To go up and down the floors of the Teaching Building, only the stairs may be used.
For the library, one must use the elevator…]
[If a fellow student invites you to use the elevator within the Teaching Building, or advises you to take the stairs in the Library, please ignore them and imdiately distance yourself from them, they are not your classmates…]
If the library is Teaching Building D Block, then does the first rule apply from another perspective?
The Teaching Building has no D Block, right, no D Block, because that’s the library, just connected to the Teaching Building through the Corridor Bridge.
What a freakishly logical play on words.
It’s really maddening.
Suddenly, Lin Yi also noticed a detail that he had previously overlooked—on this scenic tour map-like campus map, every building had its own special symbol.
The symbol for the centrally located Teaching Building was a “目” shaped icon made of three boxes in a row, labeled “Teaching Building”;
The buildings around the Teaching Building had their own symbols: the Gymnasium was a square with a circle in it, representing the Gymnasium and the Giant Do, labeled “Gymnasium”;
The Cafeteria’s symbol was a sun-like icon, a circle representing the cafeteria, with several rays of light that seed to indicate many pathways, labeled “Cafeteria”;
The dormitory’s symbol was a piece of rebar…
emmmm…
at least, it looked like a rebar, a giant axial rod with a simple spiral pattern around it, labeled “Dormitory”;
The symbol for the Art Building was a circle, with a “?” in the middle and an “×” to the right, and it wasn’t drawn in a fixed position, but just marked in the corner: “Art Building?”;
As for the library…
according to the guidance of the campus map, there were three paths to the library, two connecting to the Cafeteria and the Teaching Building, and the third was a ray.
The symbol for the library turned out to be…
a clock face with a square around it?
No, that doesn’t seem right, it looks like…
a Bell Tower?!
Wait a minute!
Why would it be a Bell Tower?!
Lin Yi stared intently at the library’s symbol, images flashing by in his mind.
The appearance of D Block as seen from Teaching Building C…
The view of Teaching Building D Block on his way back from the Cafeteria to the Teaching Building…
“It seems, indeed, truly…
like a building with a Bell Tower?”
“But the Bell Tower…
the Art Building also has a huge Bell Tower!”
“Hmm, it seems a bit different…
that’s right, the Art Building can have a Bell Tower, the library isn’t necessarily without one!”
“Sss, hold on a mont…”
Lin Yi felt he was missing so details, then he stared at the library’s symbol again, carefully recalling, and suddenly a burst of enlightennt flashed through his mind!
When he first entered the school, looking at the campus through the bus’s window glass, he saw the shadow of that Bell Tower, but once inside the campus, he never saw a similar building in the regular layer of the campus.
