Chapter 73 Dormitory Rules 1
Chapter 73 Dormitory Rules 1
When the darkness faded and the sea breeze dissipated, Lin Yi seized the opportunity and used all his will to strengthen his understanding.
When the illusory dormitory wall flashed and jumped repeatedly before his eyes like a slide, he suddenly stretched out his hand...
“Hey, hey, hey, hey…”
When he stretched out his hand, images of the ocean and the wall flashed alternately, like looking at an alternating scene through the blades of an electric fan, one frame was the ocean, one frame was the wall, and twenty-four frames flashed back and forth in one second.
His hand finally passed through the electric fan and pressed on the stone wall of the cliff.
But just when he was about to touch the stone wall, he suddenly grasped it -
As he grabbed it, a black hole seemed to appear in the center of his palm, and the whole world began to shrink around this palm...
The light and shadow, the distorted and collapsed fragments in the endless space, all turned into the purest and most original lines, and then poured into this area like elongated light particles.
When he clenched his fist, everything in front of him turned into a blank world again... This time the change was extremely short-lived, just like the white light that flashes when the shutter of an old-fashioned camera is pressed.
In the corridor on the 14th floor of the dormitory building, Lin Yi's hand was tightly holding a door handle.
His body was a little stiff, and he had not yet adapted to this sudden change, but he still felt extremely relieved for this reasonable and unexpected result.
There is no time to lament the ups and downs of life. Before you return to the dormitory completely, all security is false.
But he did not rush to use his student ID to swipe the door. Instead, he looked up and confirmed the dormitory door number.
1412.
"Shit! It's 1412 after all..."
He took a deep breath and turned his head to look not far away.
In the curved corridor, a doorplate not far away clearly reads "1414".
"found it!"
He took a deep breath, fixed his eyes on Dormitory 1414, then reached out and patted his left shoulder.
Feeling the slightly cool hand that Wei Liang had been placing on his shoulder, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When he had hallucinations and even lost his anchor point, he urgently needed to find a reference, but he didn't dare to use Wei Liang's hand on his shoulder as a reference.
He could actually feel the temperature of Wei Liang's palm, sometimes cold and sometimes warm. This feeling became clearer when he used his willpower to reinforce his cognition.
He could feel his body and spirit jumping back and forth between two levels through the contact between Wei Liang's palm and his own.
One layer is the world where the black sun is located, and the other layer is the world where the dormitory building is located, which is also the world where Wei Liang is.
But Wei Liang's condition was not good either. He was not sure whether using Wei Liang as a reference would make Wei Liang's condition worse. If the anchor was not stable enough, the final outcome would be the destruction of both parties, or even falling into some more unpredictable dangerous situation.
But fortunately, despite the roller coaster ride of ups and downs, the results are still good.
He then walked towards dormitory 1414 step by step.
Just as his hand loosened the door handle of dormitory 1412, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from inside the door, but he chose to ignore it and brought Wei Liang to dormitory 1414.
He reached out and grasped the door handle of dormitory 1414.
It was not until this moment that he felt a little calmer.
Then he gently patted Wei Liang's hand with his other hand.
"Liangzi, we're at the dormitory!"
Wei Liang's numb and empty eyes gradually regained their spirit.
"We're here..." He looked up and saw the door number of dormitory 1414.
"Huh..." He let out a long sigh, then lowered his voice and said, "Lao Lin, don't say anything. Go in first, and after you go in, close the door first. I will open it myself."
"How about you go first?" Lin Yi was a little worried about Wei Liang's condition.
Wei Liang shook his head: "Everything will be fine once we get here."
Lin Yi looked at him deeply, then lowered his eyelids and nodded gently: "Okay...be careful."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Wei Liang replied.
Lin Yi then reached into his pocket.
"Wait a minute." Wei Liang suddenly said, "Do you remember how to swipe your card in the cafeteria?"
Lin Yi was startled, then asked: "What do you mean...?"
"Don't expose yourself. The faster you brush, the better." Wei Liang said in a deep voice.
Lin Yi's expression froze, but he still did as he was told.
He took out his student ID and swiped it across the sensing area on the door handle at the speed of light.
“Tick, tick, tick—click! Click!”
A series of mechanical sounds were heard from inside the door. Through the slight vibrations, Lin Yi seemed to see a picture of a series of lock tongues being pulled out of the lock one after another.
This dormitory door seems to be full of locks.
When the sound ended, Lin Yi felt the resistance on the door handle disappear.
He pressed lightly and the door opened with a click.
A hint of warm breath seeped out from the door, making people feel extremely comfortable.
Lin Yi did not hesitate, and quickly entered the dormitory, then closed the door behind him.
“Bang!”
After closing the dormitory door, the first thing Lin Yi did was to check the time.
21: 18.
……
In front of the door of dormitory 1414, the door handle was clearly very close, but there was no relief on Wei Liang's face. On the contrary, his expression was more solemn than ever before.
He looked at the door in front of him, but was hesitant to reach out to grasp the door handle.
He squinted his eyes, as if he was having some kind of thought storm that would never happen to him.
Finally, his gaze changed from solemn to determined.
He took a deep breath, then reached out and grabbed the door handle of the dormitory door.
But during this process, illusory shadows began to appear around his body one after another, like countless souls lost in the abyss and shadows, or like cold corpses shrouded in a thick white mist...
They climbed on the steep and slippery rock walls like spiders, and like zombies, they climbed desperately to the top of the cliffs...
Wei Liang seemed to have noticed their presence early on, but he hid his actions from their perception through self-deception, which lasted until now - until the moment he reached into his trouser pocket and grabbed his student ID.
When he held his student ID in his hand, he seemed to become the brightest light in the dark night. These countless lost souls seemed to have suddenly caught the most exciting smell, and they all turned around and looked towards where he was...
They seemed to notice Wei Liang's presence, so they swarmed over like scarabs and hovered around Wei Liang.
A dark white mist enveloped their bodies, but their cold golden eyes, which seemed to hide the abyss of hell, revealed their greed and desire without any concealment.
They uttered obscure and low syllables, communicating primitive signals with pronunciations that did not belong to this world at all, and then swarmed towards Wei Liang - Wei Liang held the door handle with one hand and swiped the card with the other hand at the speed of light as if drawing a sword.
“Beep, beep, beep—”
At the moment when he was about to be drowned, the lock of the dormitory door was retracted, and then he pressed the door handle with a "click".
The moment the dormitory door was opened, the steep mountain walls, distorted light and shadows, and strange creatures like a swarm of insects all disappeared like smoke.
The area around him was so clean that it seemed as if there was no air left.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
Wei Liang exhaled three times in succession, each one more relieved than the last. In the end, there was even a hint of relief on his face for surviving the disaster.
But he didn't enter the dormitory immediately.
He seemed to realize something. He grabbed the half-open door with one hand and put his student ID back into his trouser pocket with the other.
Then, he hid his face behind the door, and used the hand that was freed after putting his student ID away to rub the hard muscles on his face vigorously, completely crushing the expression that was almost frozen on his face.
Soon, the playful look on his face returned.
Then he entered dormitory 1414.
“Bang!”
The dormitory door was tightly closed.
Separated by a door, it's like two worlds.
……
A black sun hangs high in the black sky, and black tides beat against black reefs.
A figure who looked like a security guard, holding an ancient green lantern in his hand, stood silently on the edge of the cliff.
He looked down at the steep mountain wall that was almost perpendicular to the ground, and his red-gold gaze finally fell on a certain point on the mountain wall.
The damp mountain wall was covered with moss, and at that location, there was a footprint of neither deep nor shallow.
"..."
He fell into silence looking at the footprint, and the red-gold light in his eyes showed a slight fluctuation.
His throat moved and rolled slightly, and the low syllables seemed like a huge ship breaking through the iceberg, but the whimpering wind blowing over the cliff completely drowned out his voice.
……
X023年5月7日，21:18。
Lin Yi, who entered the dormitory, clearly felt that the lingering discomfort had dissipated a lot. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable, at least he had a sense of reality and was down to earth.
He observed the dormitory in front of him.
This dormitory is a six-person room with three beds placed on each side of the wall on the left and right sides of the door.
The bed consists of a bed board for the upper bunk and a desk and lockers for the lower bunk. It is a very common style in universities.
The distance between the beds on the two walls is about 1.5 meters. A glass window faces the door of the dormitory. The hazy moonlight outside the window shines through the glass onto the dormitory corridor, giving people a feeling of peace and tranquility.
There is a washbasin near the window, and opposite the washbasin is the bathroom.
The whole dormitory was normal, so normal that it was a little abnormal.
Lin Yi, who was observing the environment, suddenly found a pendulum clock hanging on the door of the dormitory. The time on the pendulum clock was consistent with the time on his watch.
Behind the dormitory door, there was a notice board. The four capital words on the notice board made Lin Yi's heart skip a beat.
"Dormitory rules."
He said that he didn't know why, but he always felt something was missing as soon as he entered the dormitory. Now when he saw the dormitory rules, he didn't feel panicked. Instead, a sentence popped up in his mind: The taste is right.
"So the dormitory rules are missing!"
"No wonder it feels wrong!"
Just as he was about to read the dormitory rules, the dormitory door opened. After a pause, Wei Liang jumped in like a monkey and immediately closed the door.
Then, Wei Liang looked up at the time very skillfully, then carefully read the dormitory rules, walked to a bed, put down his schoolbag, opened the locker with ease, and took out standard daily necessities such as spare clothes, slippers, and bath towels.
"Lao Lin, I'm going to take a hot shower first!"
Wei Liang picked them up all at once and walked into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of water splashing could be heard from inside.
Lin Yi didn't even have time to say a word to Wei Liang.
But he had no objection to this. Wei Liang had already said that he needed to take a hot bath, so a hot bath must be able to combat and relieve his pollution. In this case, Lin Yi naturally could not drag him away from taking a bath.
Lin Yi first found a bed and put down his schoolbag, then walked to the dormitory door and read the dormitory rules.
"【Dormitory Rules 1】:"
“The dormitory is the safest area on campus (no one else). To maintain this ‘safety’, please abide by the following rules:
1. The power supply system of the dormitory is different from that of the dormitory building. The lights and water supply are turned off at 0:22 every day instead of 20:.
Your change of clothes and daily necessities are in the locker, please arrange your time to shower and wash up properly. "
“2、宿舍停电时段为：0:00~18:00。
Please leave the dormitory building within the specified time."
"3. You can discuss any issues with your roommates before lights out. If you want to discuss or think about the problem after lights out, please make sure you are in bed."
"4. Be wary of roommates who are not staying overnight, especially if they ask you anything related to your student ID."
“5. Never extend an invitation to someone who knocks on the door. Only people with student ID cards are allowed back into the dorms, and they will open the door themselves.”
“6. After the lights in the dormitory are turned off, never get out of bed and try to fall asleep.”
“Note: Falling asleep in bed is the safest state, but never oversleep.”
"7. The dormitory manager will not conduct dormitory inspections at any time."
"If someone claiming to be a dorm supervisor knocks on your door and orders you to open it, please follow rule 5 and ignore it."
The above are the 7 dormitory rules. They seem to be "ordinary", but Lin Yi found that the dormitory rules are different from the other rules. After writing the 7th rule, it did not continue to write the 8th rule, but directly posted another dormitory rule...
To be precise, it should be the "emergency version" of dormitory rules.
Lin Yi's eyelids twitched violently after just one glance at the emergency rules.
“Isn’t it… what about the ‘safest’ and ‘unmatched’ agreement?! And there are some little conditions?!”
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and then he read it word by word:
“【Dormitory Rules 2 (Special Situation Version)】:”
"If your mental state is abnormal and you still can't fall asleep after turning off the lights, please keep the following rules in mind to prevent you from being unable to stay in a 'safe' state..."
