Chapter 20 Cabinet Door: Are You Keeping Matryoshka Dolls Here?



At three in the morning, everyone was asleep, but Cheng Zhi, who was still keeping watch, was still reading novels and taking notes on her phone, trying to find the right way to use the space.

Everyone in her dorm had blackout curtains, so she turned on her small flashlight and looked and touched the cabinet. On the surface, there was nothing there, just an ordinary cabinet.

While she was checking, Xiao Feiran, who was responsible for keeping watch for the rest of the night, got up.

Xiao Feiran was still sleepy, but she urged Cheng Zhi to go to sleep quickly, saying that the cabinet could be looked at tomorrow during the day.

Perhaps she was engrossed in reading the novel, because Cheng Zhi wasn't sleepy at all. She handed the flashlight to Xiao Feiran and then slipped into the spatial dimension.

Cheng Zhi sat on the sofa, thinking that since entering the space relied on telekinesis, could exiting the space also be done through telekinesis?

So she took out the key from the front of her neck, held it reverently, and began to silently chant in her mind. She didn't actually know what she was chanting, so she just chanted anything: Let me out, teleport, open sesame, Avada Kedavra...

She tried all sorts of spells, both Chinese and foreign, but the key didn't react at all. Every time she finished reciting a spell in her mind, she would open her eyes full of anticipation, only to see the scene in the space again.

Cheng Zhi was furious, clutching the key in a fit of helpless rage. "How do you even use this?! Is there even an instruction manual?!" She then rubbed her head, feeling a slight headache, and pressed the slightly warm key she had been gripping against her forehead. The next second, a blinding flash of white light nearly blew her out. When she opened her eyes again, she was sitting on the dormitory floor.

The sudden appearance of the figure startled Xiao Feiran, instantly dispelling her drowsiness. When she saw it was Cheng Zhi, she was even more shocked and quickly stepped forward, exclaiming, "Holy crap, did you succeed?! I didn't see you go through the door just now, and you just appeared out of thin air!"

Cheng Zhi was also stunned; everything happened too fast, and she hadn't even seen it clearly.

She tried twice more, and Xiao Feiran tried once more, before they both confirmed that they could get out by sticking the key to their foreheads. They had found a way to leave the space without a door.

That evening, one of the two questions raised by the space was resolved smoothly, and Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran huddled together in silent elation.

Cheng Zhi was immediately excited. The problem of entering and exiting the space with a key had been solved, and now only the problem of this cabinet remained. She really wanted to stay up all night to figure it out.

However, Xiao Feiran wouldn't allow her to stay up all night and insisted that she go to sleep.

Cheng Zhi lay down on the bed, her mood gradually calmed down, and she fell asleep in no time.

The next day, everyone woke up, and Cheng Zhi couldn't wait to tell everyone about it. Everyone tried it.

Huang Yiyi suddenly disappeared and reappeared on the bed, exclaiming in amazement. Suddenly, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and she pulled back the bed curtains, asking, "Can I only come out by sticking the key to my forehead? Can't I stick it to my face or hand?"

Cheng Zhi, standing in the middle of the dormitory, nodded. She and Xiao Feiran had tried it last night; it only worked on the forehead, and had no effect on other areas.

Zheng Wan sat cross-legged on the chair, rubbing her eyes, and asked, "Now this is the only cabinet left. Whether we take it or not is a problem."

That makes sense. Carrying such a large cabinet is not only tiring, but it also attracts a lot of attention. However, if they don't take it with them, what if their space is discovered one day? That would be even more terrifying.

The thought of a stranger suddenly entering their space and committing murder, arson, and looting gave Cheng Zhi goosebumps. She quickly rubbed her arms and focused on figuring out how to deal with this big guy.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Zhi's eyes lit up, and a bold idea popped into her head: "Is it possible for us to store the cabinet inside our spatial storage?"

Huang Yiyi's mind was in a mess. "The cabinet is a space, and you're putting it back into that space. It feels like you're making nesting dolls."

Chen Siyu roughly understood what Cheng Zhi was thinking and explained, "It's true that there's space inside the cabinet, but from another perspective, the cabinet acts as a door in our dormitory, connecting the dormitory and the space. Now that we can enter and exit with a key and don't need a door anymore, can we treat it as an ordinary item and put it into the space?"

After Chen Siyu explained, Huang Yiyi suddenly understood and realized that this interpretation made sense.

Cheng Zhi held the key and walked to the cabinet, a little nervous, afraid that she might make a mistake and destroy their space.

As a result, I put my hand on the cabinet and silently told myself to put it away. Suddenly, the cabinet disappeared from my sight, and the upper bunk, which had lost half of its support, collapsed.

The bed, which hadn't been slept on for a long time, was covered in dust, and when Cheng Zhi lay down, it choked her.

But she didn't have time to think much. She slipped into the space and found the cabinet sitting in the living room. She went up and opened it. The cabinet had been restored to its original state, and it even contained their laundry detergent and Ludo rug. It had everything except books.

With a slap on her forehead, Cheng Zhi returned to the dormitory and explained the situation. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They hadn't lost their space, and the Ludo carpet had even been returned to them. They were determined to play a couple of rounds tonight.

At the same time, people in apartment 835 across the street were also gathered together discussing something.

Qi Yanche stood by the window, a cryptic light flashing in his eyes. After a moment, he turned to everyone and said, "Let's leave the school and go to the city in a couple of days when the rain gets a little lighter."

Lu Yuan, who was playing with the dog, was the first to raise his hand in agreement. "We're almost out of what we looted last time. It's time to go out, or we'll starve to death."

Chen Yi had just woken up and was still yawning, barely able to open her eyes. "I really have to go. There might still be rescues in the city."

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Shen Lingfeng saw them making going to the city sound as simple as having a meal, and couldn't help but ask, "No, going to the city is good, but the problem is how are we going to get there? We can't get a taxi now, there's no transportation. We can walk, but the typhoon outside is blowing people all over the place."

Qi Yanche had certainly considered these issues. "I have a car at school. I don't know if it's still drivable, but we'll eventually have to leave."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement, looking up at Shen Lingfeng, "If we don't leave soon, and the disaster continues, we'll die in the school and become earthbound spirits, unable to leave the school even after death."

"..." Shen Lingfeng, a level ten student who hates studying, was hit where it hurt, and suddenly became determined to leave.
