Chapter 91 Dormitory Manager and the Elevator "↑" Button
“Woo… Woo… Woo…?!” Lin Yi quickly noticed that they were not illusions, but something real.
They were climbing in the corridor of the dormitory building like spiders. Although they were clearly crawling on the ground, they gave him the feeling of climbing a rock with difficulty.
These things seemed like cold corpses shrouded in a thick white mist. They had a stiff body and bluish-gray skin, and looked like the sculptures in the stalactite caves, but their shapes were more like non-human beings.
Lin Yi suddenly understood something. If there really was infiltration and falling between the two layers, then what was currently a corridor for him would be a steep mountain wall perpendicular to the sea level for those inhuman units.
That's why they climb so hard!
The layers of the two worlds seemed to have entered a kind of "superposition state" in a distorted way.
To Lin Yi, these things were like virtual images, and to them, it was still unknown whether Lin Yi existed or not.
In the foggy world, on the steep and slippery rock walls, the inhuman units were like zombies, desperately climbing to the top of the cliffs...
Lin Yi was not sure whether what he saw was what Mao Feiyang saw, or whether what he felt was what Mao Feiyang felt, but one thing he could be sure of was that what Mao Feiyang felt would definitely be fed back to him.
Then he felt a terrifying feeling of being stuck in a quagmire.
He found that there were endless white powder particles floating in the dark white mist, and these white powder particles were pouring into Mao Feiyang's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's like throwing a sponge into a dye vat, and in a blink of an eye the sponge is dyed the color of the vat.
Mao Feiyang was almost defenseless as he ate the pollution... and his own mental state was not yet able to react to these things.
As the pollution worsened, Mao Feiyang suddenly attracted the attention of all the non-human units around him like a bright flame in the dark night.
These countless lost souls, as if they had suddenly discovered the most delicious food in the world, changed their direction and looked towards where Mao Feiyang was.
Under the thick fog, pairs of cold golden eyes revealed greed and desire unreservedly, as if they were a peek from hell.
They uttered obscure and low syllables, communicating primitive signals with pronunciations that did not belong to this world at all, and then swarmed towards Mao Feiyang.
Just when Mao Feiyang was about to be swallowed, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the fog.
Lin Yi was suddenly startled and couldn't help but look in the direction where the beam of light appeared.
“Da…da…da…”
The sound of footsteps echoed in the dark corridor, and every step seemed to step on Lin Yi's heart.
As the footsteps appeared, these inhuman units disappeared rapidly as if they had met their nemesis, retreating into the mist like a tide.
The fog enveloped Mao Feiyang again. He looked at the beam of light in the fog with fear and uncertainty. For some reason, he actually felt a sense of peace.
In the dark, the heart is light.
This may be the desire for light that all normal creatures have.
Lin Yi suddenly realized that the water stain under his butt had disappeared, and the slippery, mossy stone beside him had also disappeared...
The ground next to his hands turned into the floor again, but his pants were still wet, and there seemed to be some moss on his hands...
But these are not important for the time being. His gaze followed Mao Feiyang to the beam of light and the sound of footsteps that echoed like "da...da...da..." in the dark corridor.
The figure was getting closer and closer to him. The scene was like being in a dusty collapsed cave and a survey team member came to rescue him with a high-powered flashlight.
It was not until the footsteps came in front of him that Lin Yi could see the other person clearly.
Apart from the fact that he was carrying an old kerosene lamp, he was a young man who looked about the same age as them, with dyed blond hair and wearing a slightly dirty jacket.
His face was pale, his lips were purple, and he had two dark eye circles. He looked very haggard, and it seemed as if he hadn't slept in several days.
Lin Yi noticed that the young man was also trembling. He was holding an old kerosene lamp in his hand but he was very scared. He gave people the feeling that he was a coward who still had to rely on the old kerosene lamp to give himself courage to go to the haunted house for adventure.
He slowly walked to Mao Feiyang, bent down, and held the old kerosene lamp in front of Mao Feiyang.
"Excuse me...show me your student ID."
He summoned up his courage and asked in a trembling voice.
It was not until the light of the old kerosene lamp enveloped Mao Feiyang that the fear in his heart was dispelled a little. When he heard the other party asking about the student ID, his mind was still a little fuzzy.
He tried hard to recall the things related to the student ID card mentioned in the student code, but he suddenly realized a problem: "I... don't have a student ID card."
The young man's eyes trembled: "Then... could you please show me... the student commemorative coins?"
"Student commemorative coins?" Mao Feiyang's mind became more and more confused.
A somewhat familiar name, as if I have seen it somewhere.
Oh yes...it’s still about the student rules.
"Isn't it forbidden to buy that thing?" He looked blank, "I don't have it..."
The young man took a half step back, his eyes filled with fear and alertness, and held the old kerosene lamp in front of him. "Are you a sports student... or an art student?"
Mao Feiyang shook his head: "I just started school today... I didn't get anything."
The young man was stunned for a moment, then muttered something like "If you encounter a student who does not meet any of the above conditions", then looked at Mao Feiyang, took a deep breath, and said: "Are you looking for an art teacher?"
Mao Feiyang's eyes lit up, as if a drowning man had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Yes, yes, yes, I want to find an art teacher!"
"Then come with me." The young man took a deep breath and lifted up his jacket, revealing a chain tied around his waist.
"You hold the chain with one hand and put the other hand on my shoulder, then follow me with your eyes closed until I tell you 'You can open your eyes', then you can open your eyes, understand?"
Mao Feiyang shouldn't have trusted anyone, but the other person was holding an old kerosene lamp. Although it looked unreliable, he had no choice but to trust the person in front of him.
"Okay, okay... I'll follow you, I'll follow you..." Mao Feiyang almost lost the ability to think. He quickly got up, grabbed the chain, and put his hand on the young man.
The young man took a deep breath, took a step forward, and walked to the door of dormitory No. 2819. He stretched out his hand... and knocked on the door.
"Are you all asleep?"
"..."
Dormitory No. 2819, which had been restless, suddenly became deathly silent.
"It's good that I fell asleep." The young man said to himself, stretched out his hand to hold the door handle of dormitory No. 2819, and pressed it lightly. "Click!"
With a slight sound, all the locks on the door seemed to have failed and he opened it on the spot.
Just as the young man was about to push open the door, he suddenly thought of something.
"Close your eyes."
"Ah...oh...ok." Mao Feiyang quickly closed his eyes.
"Remember, keep your eyes shut. No matter what you hear, never, ever open them unless I call you in person."
"How do I know it was really you who said that?"
"You'll know."
The young man opened the door after he finished speaking.
When Mao Feiyang closed his eyes, Lin Yi's vision also became dark, but Lin Yi was still in shock.
Mao Feiyang didn't know who he met, but Lin Yi knew.
"The dorm manager! That must be the dorm manager!"
Dormitory Rules 2 (Special Circumstances Edition) states that [Security guards or dormitory managers have a light in their hands, which is the only factor to identify their identities.]
And as long as you stay with the dormitory manager, the "safe state" will not be broken!
So it was obvious that Mao Feiyang was able to reach the Art Building because the dormitory manager took him there. This thought flashed through Lin Yi's mind quickly.
After confirming that Mao Feiyang was safe, another strong question arose in Lin Yi's mind: "How did Mao Feiyang go there?"
"Could it be that there is another 'non-existent road' that connects here to... the art building, just like the stairwell that connects the teaching building and the dormitory building?"
At this moment, as the dormitory manager pushed open the door of dormitory No. 2819, an extremely pungent fishy smell rushed in from the gap in the door and penetrated into his nasal cavity.
The smell was so strong, as if a piece of wood that had rotted in sea water was buried in a mud pit filled with rotten fish and shrimp for a long time, and then taken to the dormitory and hung up.
As the wind blew, the stench of corpses that seemed to come from hell immediately made people feel what it meant to have a revolving lantern of life.
"Are you all asleep...?" The dormitory manager was patrolling with an old kerosene lamp, and the whole dormitory was filled with rustling sounds.
Lin Yi couldn't see anything and could only imagine the scene through hearing.
Then he heard the dormitory manager stop and lower his voice: "You... don't seem to be from this dormitory, right?"
A large amount of "rustling" sounds were immediately heard in the dormitory, as if countless insects were crawling in the sand. Lin Yi judged through hearing that these things were probably moving along the wall, as if avoiding the inspection of the dormitory manager.
He felt a great sense of oppression, as if he had accidentally fallen into a sewer and was surrounded by rats, but the warm light cast by the old kerosene lamp gave him a sense of security.
The dormitory manager gently patted Lin Yi's hand, not sure if he was comforting Lin Yi or comforting himself: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
His body and voice were obviously trembling, so much so that Lin Yi always felt that this dormitory manager was very strange.
The dormitory manager started walking, so he followed her. Then, based on his judgment of the dormitory, he guessed that the manager had come to the window.
He could feel gusts of wind blowing in from the window, and the faint sound of flowing water and waves, as well as the sound of an unknown object breaking through the wind as it fell rapidly outside the window...
But the dormitory manager quickly closed the window, and then went to the bathroom to close the last window in the dormitory.
After all the windows were closed, the only connection between the world outside the window and the dormitory was cut off.
Then, the dormitory manager stopped in the middle of the dormitory.
By sensing the temperature changes, Lin Yi felt that the dormitory manager should have lifted up the old kerosene lamp.
I don’t know how long the dormitory manager held the old kerosene lamp, but the rustling sound in the dormitory became less and less, and eventually disappeared completely.
"call……"
The dormitory manager heaved a long sigh of relief, then led Lin Yi out of dormitory No. 2819, and turned around and entered dormitory No. 2820 in the same way...
Time passed slowly. The dormitory manager held an old kerosene lamp and took Mao Feiyang to check the dormitories one by one.
During the whole process, Lin Yi could clearly feel the changes in the dormitory manager's heartbeat. He seemed to be more frightened than anyone else. His body was getting colder and colder, and he was shaking more and more violently.
Later on, he numbly repeated the dormitory inspection process like a zombie, until he finished inspecting dormitory No. 2839 and left, closing the door.
Then he continued walking, and Lin Yi's heart moved.
宿舍楼每一层都有39个宿舍，而1号宿舍和39号宿舍是相邻的，但此时宿管似乎就是在带着他前往39号宿舍和1号宿舍之间的某个位置……
"Is it the dormitory management office? Is there a road leading to the art building in the dormitory management office?" Just as Lin Yi was guessing, a familiar sound of wind came from the front.
Soon, a "clang...clang!" sound came from the front.
Lin Yi was startled: "It's the elevator!"
The dormitory manager took Mao Feiyang into the elevator.
Somehow, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
If the dormitory manager checked the dormitories, then took Mao Feiyang out of the dormitory by elevator and took him to the Art Building... although it sounds reasonable, but... for some reason, Lin Yi always felt a sense of disappointment that was not in line with his expectations.
Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little strange. Shouldn't he hope that the campus was normal?
Why did he feel it shouldn't be so safe when the logic seemed normal?
He couldn't help but shook his head, wondering what kind of psychological abuse he was seeking...
But the dormitory manager’s subsequent actions told him that he was right.
He heard the sound of a cover flipping open, and then the dormitory manager seemed to have slammed a button.
"Hmm?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned. This didn't seem to be the sound of pressing the elevator floor button.
He thought about the elevator buttons and suddenly remembered that there was an "↑" button covered by a cover at the top of the button row.
"Could it be that the dorm manager opened the cover and pressed the '↑' button just now?"
Lin Yi felt that his guess should be correct, because as the elevator door closed, the entire elevator began a continuous acceleration process.
