Chapter 5 I Know Your Secret



The restroom was empty.

Yan Qing found two faint bloody handprints on the ground. The color was so light that it was almost impossible to tell that they were red.

Strangely, the handprints were upside down, as if someone was squatting on the ground practicing a handstand.

The sink was overflowing with water.

Yan Qing reached out to drain the water from the bottom of the sink. Just then, she saw a strand of black hair slowly creeping up from the pipe connection.

In just a few moments, the entire sink was covered with long hair.

The hair seemed to come alive, constantly writhing. Gradually, a dark red liquid began to seep from the bottom of the pool.

Yan Qing immediately closed her eyes and began to count silently.

The third rule of the dormitory states that if you hear unusual noises in the bathroom during the day, please close your eyes and count to twenty, then open your eyes and everything will return to normal.

"one two three……"

When she counted to five, she clearly felt something wrap around her hand, but it didn't do anything further, it just gently tickled her palm.

She counted to twenty, opened her eyes, and saw that the pool in front of her was perfectly clean; it all seemed like an illusion.

Back in the living room, she began searching everywhere for the walkthrough. Unfortunately, aside from finding a few cigarette butts in front of the black door that wouldn't open, she found nothing.

Yan Qing returned to her room once again, hoping that there might be something she had forgotten there.

The only space left in the room was under the bed. The long sheet dragged on the floor, making her extremely curious about what might be underneath.

Unfortunately, she couldn't see anything except for complete darkness.

Yan Qing was somewhat disappointed. Logically speaking, there should be clues to solve the puzzle in the dungeon, but she searched two places in a row and found no useful information.

She thought of rule number six of the dormitory rules:

Talk to Yu Lele more; you'll get what you want. Just be careful not to let Mu Zihan hear!

It turned out that the clues had clearly told her from the beginning. She had been too narrow-minded.

Yan Qing knocked on the door of the red room.

Yu Lele peeked out and looked around before quickly pulling her inside.

"Phew, you finally came to see me! Qingqing, you have no idea how long I've been holding this in. There are some things I don't know how to tell you."

It seems something's up; she came to the right place.

Yan Qing secretly glanced around the room and discovered that the entire room was almost entirely filled with all kinds of cosmetics.

But Yu Lele looked completely without any makeup. It was the epitome of a bare face.

Yu Lele spoke up, "Did you know? Mu Zihan has had a crush on your boyfriend for a long time."

Mu Zihan is the girl without eyes and ears. Of the three, she looks the most terrifying.

Yan Qing remained calm. "How did you know?"

Yu Lele moved a little closer to her, and as she got closer, the ulcers on her face became more and more visible.

At the same time, a strong smell of decay wafted over, mixed with a hint of orchid fragrance.

Yan Qing thought she was hallucinating. She saw several plump white maggots fall out of the wound and onto her clothes.

Several small holes instantly corroded into the clothes. It seems that even the contaminated items on a person can cause severe damage to adventurers.

She silently took a step back, completely unaware that Yu Lele was still gossiping.

“I saw it with my own eyes a few days ago; she confessed her feelings to your boyfriend.”

"What did my boyfriend say?" Yan Qing only cared about this.

“He neither accepted nor rejected.” Yu Lele’s expression became somewhat meaningful. “He said he already had a girlfriend.”

What does that mean?

While Yan Qing was racking her brains, another strange message came from Yu Lele.

"I also know that your parrot died."

As she came out of Yu Lele's house, she was confronted with two bloody, mangled holes.

Mu Zihan's eyes remained empty, yet blood tears flowed from the bloody holes.

"I didn't steal your boyfriend, the one who really stole him was Meng Fan."

After saying that, Mu Zihan turned and left.

Yan Qing became even more curious; these people's words were utterly incomprehensible. However, she was certain that at least one thing these two people said was true.

She has a boyfriend, and someone is after her boyfriend.

Yan Qing had read the original novel, so she was also very clear about some of the common knowledge in the story.

For the eerie and corrupted humans within the instance, lying is an option to achieve their goals.

Therefore, she is currently skeptical of everything anyone says.

Article 6 of the "Dormitory Rules" also mentions that when talking to Yu Lele, you should not let Mu Zihan find out.

On the surface, this statement seems to suggest that she should be wary of Mu Zihan.

But she still felt something was off. So, just in case, she decided not to believe either of them for the time being.

That night, because the living room light bulb was broken, the four of them stayed in their own rooms and none of them came out.

Because she hadn't eaten dinner, she was a little hungry. So around 10:30, she got into bed early.

At this moment, everyone in the world has been struggling for a day in various apocalyptic rule-based tales and dungeons, suffering heavy losses.

In her "Girls' Dormitory" scenario alone, some people initially yelled at Yu Lele, but were eventually devoured by her bit by bit.

Some people chose the wrong room, were swallowed by darkness, and never saw the sun rise again.
