Chapter 245 Dormitory Night
Chapter 245 Dormitory Night
"I just said it literally, don't read too much into it." Tian Bufan said indifferently, "I'm mainly worried that you can't sleep well."
"After all, your dreams are the only way we can get information about the Art Department so far."
"Okay..." Lin Yi spread his hands, "So did you see anything?"
"You can see them, but you can't watch them," Wei Shan said. "You can only pretend to sleep and sense their location and behavior."
"Just because we discovered them, it means they discovered us as well." Tian Bufan shrugged. "The force is mutual."
"So...what did you sense?" Lin Yi asked.
Tian Bufan said: "The three of us woke up at different times, so let's talk about it in order, Wei Sang."
Wei Shan said, "I went to bed at half past two."
"After turning off the lights, I closed my eyes and lay on the bed pretending to sleep..."
"Nothing happened at first, but around 0:40... I felt the dormitory start to shake a little bit."
Lin Yi was slightly surprised. He felt that the design of the bed in the dormitory was very interesting. Just saying that it was shock-absorbing was far from enough to reflect that kind of design.
The connection structure between the mattress and the bed rails looks a bit like some kind of tourbillon. That is to say, no matter how the bed shakes, the person sleeping on the mattress will not feel anything unusual, but will only feel that he is lying flat.
That was why, when he woke up at half past one, he could see the ceiling, which also meant that his bed had flipped 180 degrees...
But this... If you can't feel anything unusual, then there is no change in your cognition. How did Wei Shan feel the shaking?
"How do you feel it?" Lin Yi was very shocked. In his impression, Wei Shan had always been the kind of person... who didn't take the intellectual route.
Wei Shan didn't even think about it, and said a little embarrassedly: "Old Lin, you know that I have bad sleeping habits. I like to put my feet on the edge of the bed... So I clearly felt the dormitory shaking at around 0:40."
Wei Shan's words hit Lin Yi like a bolt of lightning, and he felt as if he had suddenly realized something - it turned out that Wei Shan's so-called "feeling" was a real feeling, not the "induction" he had always relied on.
Yes, what could be more profound than the feedback brought by direct contact!
"I see...Wei Sang, please continue." Lin Yi apologized for interrupting.
Wei Shan didn't pay attention to these small details and continued, "I felt that the bed under me turned upside down 180 degrees like a bucket, and I almost fell off. Fortunately, at the critical moment, I firmly believed that I was still sleeping in bed."
“After turning it over, I knew we were both facing the floor tiles and our backs were to the ceiling.”
"At that time, I felt that gravity was still pointing downwards, but I couldn't tell which way was 'down'. I couldn't open my eyes, so I couldn't tell whether there was a problem with the position of the bed and the bed frame, or whether the bed had not changed but the dormitory was upside down..."
"The dormitory is upside down!" Lin Yi's heart was calm, and a vague bottle structure emerged in his mind, but this flash of inspiration was really hard to figure out. After a flash, he couldn't catch anything like grasping smoke...
"Also, I feel like it's not that the relationship between the ceiling and the floor tiles of the dormitory was completely reversed, but more like... the whole dormitory was pulled up like a stick, then turned upside down and stood on the ground again."
"And the design of our beds is to protect us from this... I don't know if my guess is right, but that's how I feel."
Wei Shan touched his head and smiled naively: "I am the dumbest and the worst at thinking about these things... Lao Lin, Master Tian, you guys think about this thing again, and then just tell me what's going on."
"Yes." Tian Bufan nodded. "Our tacit understanding is correct. Now continue to talk to Lao Lin. Tell us what happened after the dormitory was turned upside down?"
"Okay, after the dormitory was turned over, it was still very quiet at first, but after about 10 minutes, I heard some knocking sounds outside the window..."
"The windows are made of glass, so the knocking sound is different from knocking on the door. Plus, it's coming from the washstand, so it's easy to tell."
"But the thing outside the window knocked for a while and then the sound stopped. I didn't feel any changes in the air flow in the dormitory, so I can judge that nothing has entered the dormitory until now."
"But not long after the knocking sound subsided, I heard some movement in the bathroom, as if something slipped in the bathroom and hit some basins or something..."
"After that sound disappeared, some water sounds began to appear in the bathroom..."
"That sound, it sounds a bit like someone taking a shower, but not quite. Anyway, it sounds like water splashing..."
"This sound continued for a long time, and then I heard some knocks on the door."
"That knocking sound was not from the dormitory, but from the person in the bathroom, knocking on the door. It seemed like he was trying to get into our dormitory from that side."
"About 20 minutes later, at about one o'clock, the window lock next to the washstand seemed to be loose, and then the window was opened from the outside..."
"Something came in from over there and opened the bathroom door... The thing in the bathroom seemed to be dripping with water all over its body. It made me very upset when I heard it dripping."
"That thing was wet all over, and there might have been some mucus-like stuff on it. Because the dormitory was upside down at that time, it tripped over the upper edge of the door when it was leaving the bathroom. When it fell, I heard a sound like 'slurping'..."
"Then they just wandered around the dormitory, I don't know what they wanted to do, and I don't know what they were doing..."
"Later, Lao Lin woke up..."
"Lao Lin woke up around 1:. After he woke up, a mass of things approached him. I didn't know what happened, but I could feel that they were there, so I pretended to turn over and used a pillow to knock the thing away."
Lin Yi nodded slightly. The experience of nearly an hour was not so horrific as it was too torturous and painful.
"Then the dorm manager came... I only knew that he brought an old kerosene lamp with him, and before leaving, he closed the windows and the bathroom door again."
"For a while after the dorm manager left, the dormitory was very quiet and nothing happened. After Yinbi woke up, I fell asleep."
Kuai Hongji continued: "I woke up at 2:. After waking up, I coughed a few times and then started to 'take over'."
"I didn't know at first that the dormitory had been turned upside down, but I could feel that the atmosphere in the dormitory was very depressing..."
"How can I describe this feeling? It's like someone is holding my head down and diving to the bottom of the sea..."
"Feeling of suffocation?" Lin Yi murmured.
"It's not a suffocating feeling, but a feeling of oppression and obstruction. There is an indescribable pressure that is pressing in from all directions... The surrounding environment is getting quieter and quieter, but the sounds outside the windows and doors are getting stronger and stronger."
"Yes, it should be the feeling of a diving chamber."
"The storm outside the window kept hitting the window, and the window made a very unpleasant squeezing sound due to the pressure, but it did not break. There were constant friction sounds outside the door, and I didn't know what was going on in the corridor and then brushed past the door."
"Just brush past the door..." Lin Yi was a little surprised. "Could it be something like the crowd of nocturnal creatures? No, that's not right... Aren't there dormitory supervisors checking the dormitories?" "That's weird..."
So he continued listening with some doubts.
Kuai Hongji continued, "I was lying on the bed, and the noise continued without any abnormality. Around 5 o'clock, I heard some noise coming from Mr. Tian, and I went back to sleep."
Tian Bufan replied: "Yes, it's me."
"I woke up at 5 o'clock, and after I woke up I coughed a few times, which was the signal for us to change shifts."
"When I woke up, the dormitory had become quiet. It was relatively safe at 5 o'clock, but I didn't relax..."
Lin Yi nodded slightly.
After 4:, the nocturnal creatures and pseudo-people will start to evacuate the classrooms... and the same is probably true for the dormitories.
It is not an exaggeration to say that 5 points are relatively safe.
"I don't have Wei Sang's habit, but I could still vaguely feel something. But it wasn't until Wei Sang said it that I realized that it should be the bed in the dormitory that was restored."
"Then there were no problems, and then at 6:00 I woke up."
"Uh...is that all?" Lin Yi was stunned.
"What else?" Tian Bufan asked, "We are just sleeping. It's not like your dream where you can experience a time far beyond reality."
"All right……"
As they were talking, they entered the teaching building area.
After some observation, Lin Yi couldn't help but said worriedly: "Many of the street lights along the way seem to have no numbers..."
Tian Bufan pondered: "The street lamp numbers were added by the chef in the black bib. It looks like... there are really big problems in the cafeteria!"
"It should be closely related to the 'gray fog invasion'. I just don't know how much the quality of the street lights is related to the invasion of the gray fog into the campus, and how much impact the loss of street lights will have on the safety of the campus..."
Lin Yi frowned: "Will it affect our return to the dormitory building?"
"I'm worried about this too." Tian Bufan said.
"If you can't go back to the dormitory, you can only spend the night in the classroom or in the gymnasium."
"The classrooms are no longer adequate for us to provide adequate shelter at night."
"As for the gymnasium... I happen to have a physical education class this afternoon. I can find a chance to observe the gymnasium during the class."
"Besides, didn't Homeroom Teacher-039 once tell you that the gymnasium can be used as a shelter when necessary?"
When Tian Bufan reminded him, Lin Yi immediately remembered the original situation.
[“I can only say that… for you, there is no difference between the dormitory and the classroom in abnormal weather.”
"If you have unusual weather, while you can still get your bearings, go to the gym."
"The gymnasium is open 24 hours a day. You can use the gymnasium as a shelter if necessary, with your student ID card to explain the situation to the sports students."
"In short, except for normal circumstances, if you find that visibility is so low that you can't see the building in the distance, don't return to the classroom."]
For some reason, these few words appeared extremely clearly in Lin Yi's mind at this moment. He even remembered the serious tone of the head teacher at that time.
"Then...how do we decide whether to go to the dormitory or to the gymnasium?" Lin Yi asked the question.
If one of them went back to the dorm and the other went to the gym, wouldn't they be unable to meet up at night? Wouldn't that mean they would lose the best opportunity to have a discussion?
Besides, the dormitory is the only place mentioned in the rules where you can sleep. If you go to the gymnasium... I don’t know what will happen.
"Physical education class only lasts for an hour, and I don't think I'll have a chance to explore the gym..." Lin Yi whispered.
"Still exploring?" Wei Liang didn't know when he put down his hands covering his ears. Hearing this, he couldn't help but sneer, "As soon as you entered the gymnasium, you were definitely grabbed by the boss to take a shower, right? You were grabbed to swim, so why are you still exploring?"
Lin Yi's mouth twitched slightly.
Tian Bufan also said at this time: "The matter of the gymnasium... still needs to be considered in the long run. Let's talk about it when we have the chance."
"What I'm worried about is what role the gymnasium plays in the invasion of the gray fog. Will it have problems like the cafeteria?"
When Lin Yi heard this, his mind was startled. The image of the boss flashed through his mind, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Gymnasium... Boss..."
He remembered that the concept of "angel sculpture" was clearly mentioned in the gymnasium rules. In fact, among all the rules, the only one that mentioned angel sculpture was the gymnasium rules.
What does this mean?
Ordinary students may also encounter angel sculptures!
Moreover, the angel sculpture will be placed in the gymnasium during physical education classes!
《The inside of the gymnasium is the safest place on campus. You are welcome to go there.》
What a contradiction...
After experiencing the threat from the Laughing Angel, Lin Yi did not think that the angel sculpture that appeared in the gymnasium would be a good thing. It was most likely the "Angry Angel".
It’s so unpredictable, so unpredictable... Lin Yi scratched his head, feeling like he would pull out a few strands of his hair if he thought about it any further.
After they turned a corner on the mountain road, the teaching building came into view.
At this time, Tian Bufan suddenly said: "Oh, there is one more thing."
Thanks to the book friend "usjdnshhs" for the reward!!
