"According to the Student Rules, under these circumstances, the campus should undergo distortions, stretching, and other phenomena that defy common sense... These phenomena should accompany the layer's descent."
"In fact, as I see it, these phenomena should still fall within the scope of what words can record."
Lin Yi's pupils trembled slightly at this.
"Information that can't be recorded in words..."
He thought of two pieces of information!
[Tomatoes are hearts] and [tomatoes are blood plasma].
When he had recorded those two pieces of information on sticky notes, he had suffered an intense, suffocating backlash-he had nearly been killed by the very information he had written.
Tian Bufan glanced at him and continued:
"Within this campus, there should be a great deal of information that can't be described in words. Hidden within information that words cannot carry are secrets that drive people to breakdown, transcending reality and cognition."
Lin Yi questioned him in a grave voice. "But if this information can't even be recorded, why can we pass it on by word of mouth?"
"No, Lao Lin, that's where you're wrong," Tian Bufan said, rejecting his premise. "When information that can't be recorded can be passed on by word of mouth, it has already lost its 'mind-breaking, indescribable' qualities."
"??" A look of bewilderment appeared in Lin Yi's eyes.
Tian Bufan said, "Since you're confused, let me give you a brief explanation first."
"Take the campus's stretching and distortion, for example..."
"When you first read that entry in the Student Rules, what was your first reaction?"
"Wasn't it self-doubt and denial, like 'I'm hallucinating' or 'I misread that'? Especially when the last entry in the Student Rules mentioned dizziness and physical discomfort, didn't it practically steer our thoughts in that direction?"
"But what actually happened? We weren't hallucinating at all.
