Crying and getting angry will only consume attention, accelerate the collapse of rationality, and cannot solve any problems. This is a truth that Tang Xinjue is well aware of.
But the reason why truth is just truth is that in extraordinary circumstances, people often find it difficult to control themselves, which is also instinct.
Since the first debilitating strange illness accompanied by nightmares struck her three years ago, Tang Xinjue has been forced to combine theory with practice, learning how to restrain her instincts and stay calm without going crazy.
“There is no unsolvable nightmare in the world, and there is no unsolvable reality.”
She spoke softly, the scenes from her nightmares of the past few days coming to mind.
The nightmare that even the psychologist was helpless to deal with brought many negative impacts to her life, but this time, it seemed to foreshadow the arrival of an accident in advance. So, by the same token, can other details in the dream also correspond to the current situation?
His thoughts were immersed in suppressed memories. The thick darkness of the dream and the grotesque monsters hidden in the darkness rushed towards him. But besides this, Tang Xinjue vaguely remembered that there was another rule in the dream...
After a moment, Tang Xinjue opened his eyes.
If this rule also applies to the current "game", she should know how to solve the current situation.
From an outsider's perspective, Tang Xin Jue remained motionless. After a moment's silence, he suddenly spoke, "You can open the door."
roommate:"???"
Zheng Wanqing stopped shouting, Zhang You stopped talking, and even Guo Guo stopped crying. No one could believe that Tang Xinjue was so reckless. "Are you sure?"
In the darkness, the girl's voice was calm and decisive: "I am sure. Zhang You must come in, and the door must be opened."
Outside the door, Zhang You sniffed, trying to keep his voice from sounding shaky: "Then what about the thing on my back?"
She didn't dare look back now, let alone think about what would happen after the door opened.
Tang Xin Jue replied considerately, "The thing behind you will rush out and attack me when I open the door, and then take the opportunity to sneak into the dormitory."
Guo Guo: "...How can you be so calm when talking about such a terrible thing?"
Out of Guo Guo's sight, Tang Xinjue gripped the tool tightly, his fingertips pressing against the packaging surrounding the object. Judging from the past few hours, the object was about 50 centimeters long, with a hard handle and a thick, bowl-shaped tip. It was quite handy if you imagined it as a small hammer.
Signaling his two roommates to step back, Tang Xinjue stood in front of the door, staring at the crack, his left hand slowly falling on the handle.
Guo Guo behind him swallowed his saliva: "Jueshen, are you sure there is a way to let Zhang You in? If you fail, we are all finished."
Tang Xinjue shook his head. "No, if I fail, I'll most likely be the only one finished, and you still have a chance. Remember what that childish voice said? Failure to protect the dormitory will result in the elimination of your roommates, but it didn't say that the entire dormitory will be eliminated."
Before she finished speaking, her palm sank and the dormitory door suddenly opened.
Zhang You's slightly trembling figure appeared outside the door, and his roommate was breathing rapidly and looking at him for help.
At the same time, a sharp laugh burst out from the back of her neck. Zhang You was about to turn his head reflexively, but was grabbed by Tang Xinjue with his quick eyes and hands.
"Don't turn around."
Unlike the vast darkness outside the balcony, the darkness in the corridor seemed to be covered with a layer of flowing and spreading fog, as if countless things were hidden in it.
With the dim light of the mobile phone screen, Tang Xinjue saw a pale and skinny hand stretching out from the back of Zhang You's neck, pulling out a larger, white object - the moment it pounced on her, she raised her hand without hesitation and smashed it down hard.
With an inhumanly sharp scream, the plastic rod and rubber tip hit a sticky mass and hit it!
A chill quickly ran up his arm. Tang Xinjue didn't have the energy to care about it. He swung his arm even harder to throw it down, and at the same time shouted to Zhang You, who hadn't reacted yet: "Come in!"
The roommate woke up as if from a dream and rushed in. In the darkness, a white thing screamed and was about to pounce upwards. The packaging bag outside the long tool was torn. Amid the horrible sound, the rubber top was still firmly pressed on the white creature that was obviously not human, and it was not overturned.
Even the white monster itself was stunned for a moment: it was a ghost, and it had never fought a human girl before?
Tang Xinjue was also stunned for a moment: she was about to withdraw quickly after a successful attack, but as soon as she pulled, the "little hammer" in her hand did not move at all. She subconsciously pulled hard again, but dragged the white monster out two centimeters.
White monster: “…”
Tang Xin Jue: "..."
She immediately decided to throw the tool into the darkness, but the enraged monster was faster and rushed up in an instant. Its skinny limbs and head stretched out from the white twisted flesh. There were no facial features on the head, only a mouth, like a big black hole, biting towards Tang Xinjue's head.
[Low-level ghosts wandering in the darkness cannot be approached or looked at directly, as they will be swallowed by the darkness.]
The rapidly approaching monster's head was reflected in his shrinking pupils, and all around him was a sweeping chill and darkness. For a moment, Tang Xinjue felt as if he was still in a nightmare.
[——But once it comes into contact with it, the moment it is attacked, it can also attack the opponent.]
Just like in the dream, her body had reacted instinctively. Since she couldn't withdraw, she decided to go all out and threw it down hard against the direction of her head!
With his adrenaline surging rapidly, Tang Xinjue stared at the familiar monster, unable to tell whether this was reality or a dream, and acted entirely on the instincts he had developed from the nightmare.
[Fear of light and loud noises, can tear it apart with great force and throw it back into darkness...]
The white head was thrown down briefly, and soon it climbed back onto Tang Xinjue's arm with the tools. The blood vessels on his wrist bulged due to excessive force.
"careful!"
The roommate's scream gave Tang Xinjue a sudden shock: this was not a dream she had alone, this was reality!
Something flashed through her mind, and she blurted out: "Scream! Scream louder! Quick!"
Perhaps it was the life-and-death situation that would speed up people's reactions. In less than half a second, Guo Guo's scream, loud enough to blow the roof off the house, rose from the ground. Zheng Wanqing and Zhang You followed closely behind, and without saying a word, they began to roar at the top of their lungs.
Although they didn't understand why Tang Xinjue suddenly made the request, they didn't care about all that in an emergency and just howled.
The white monster is afraid of light and loud noises. There was no light at this time, but there were three female college students in their early 20s in the house who had been encountering ghosts for four hours.
If sound could be transformed into a weapon, they would have created a roar within three seconds that was loud enough to flatten the entire dormitory area of A. Tang Xinjue clearly felt the monster's changes; its power had weakened!
With a full force of thrust, the monster's body was torn through. It seemed to begin to feel fear, and its limbs hung to the ground, trying to retreat back into the darkness, but just like Tang Xinjue before, it couldn't pull it out no matter how hard it tried.
monster;"……"
Only then did Tang Xinjue discover that the rubber end of this "little hammer" seemed to be able to suck things. The harder she used, the tighter the end sucked. Because she had used too much force when she first hit the monster, now neither of them could pull it out.
Before his mind could automatically figure out what it was, the monster had already realized the problem and began to change its body structure to try to swallow the rubber on it in one gulp. How could Tang Xin Jue let it succeed? He immediately stabbed it down faster and harder. After who knows how many times, the sticky feeling suddenly disappeared, and the top of the rubber hit the ground directly.
The monster was stabbed!
The cracked white monster immediately split into countless arm-like objects. Tang Xinjue loosened his grip and immediately retracted his body back into the door. The hand seemed to want to grab it, but the moment it reached in, it was blocked back to the outside world by the slamming door.
"Bang!"
The collision left a dull sound on the dormitory door.
Then came the second and third knocks, and the familiar knock on the door sounded again. At the same time, Tang Xinjue's voice appeared outside the door:
"Open the door, it's so dark outside, I'm so scared."
The other three people shuddered. Tang Xinjue had clearly returned to the room, but a voice exactly the same as hers was knocking on the door outside at the same time. It was so strange that it was hard to describe.
Tang Xin Jue paused for a few seconds, then took a step forward, raised his hand, and knocked on the door three times clearly. Even after the violent movement, his voice was still gentle and soft:
"Your father is inside, please step back."
“…” The terrifying atmosphere was largely dispelled.
“Woooooooooooo!!!”
Guo Guo was the first to move. She threw herself on Tang Xinjue's slender body and hugged him, crying bitterly: "Sister Jue, Dad Jue, God Jue, from now on you are my half-father and half-mother's biological father!"
Zhang You helplessly pulled her up and said, "I'm the one who was saved by the Heart Technique. Can you let me cry first?"
Zheng Wanqing couldn't get in and was spinning around anxiously: "Don't be too forceful, Tang Xinjue is not in good health, you're hurting her!"
Guo Guo's eyes were blurred with tears. "Miss, open your titanium double eyelids and look. My father just tore a ghost apart with his bare hands! He tore it apart with his own hands!"
If this can be called weakness, then are they considered severely disabled?
Tang Xinjue broke free from his roommate who was trying to identify him with his relatives, feeling a bit amused and helpless: "Wanqing is right, don't hug me, my hands hurt."
She had just been in a stalemate for too long at full strength, and now her arms were sore and cold, and her whole body felt a little weak. She needed a good rest.
Zhang You was very perceptive and immediately went to help her find a medical kit. The remaining two leaned against her, and after recovering slightly from their shock, they asked the question in their hearts:
"How do you know how to deal with that monster out there?"
Tang Xin Jue didn't give a detailed answer, only saying briefly, "I only know that for many low-level ghosts, the moment they touch us is the moment we can attack them. Plus, we have the dormitory door as protection, so if we seize the opportunity, we only need to hold it back for two seconds."
But she never expected that the weapon in her hand would almost drag her into the water.
Thinking of this, Tang Xinjue couldn't help but raise the "little hammer" in his hand, wanting to use the light of his mobile phone to see what kind of treasure this was, but the numbers on the mobile phone screen came into view faster.
10, 9, 8, 7...
Midnight arrives, the four-hour countdown reaches zero, and the screen falls into darkness.
"Ding ding ding, clang clang clang~"
The melodious children's voices surround everyone's ears.
"Put on your backpack and go to the dormitory. Your happy college life starts here."
"Unity and friendship, mutual help, every student must abide by the dormitory rules"
"Work hard in competitions and take exams. Excellent grades will help you survive longer."
"The credit system, clear rewards and punishments, educators are waiting for you in the best universities"
Towards the end of the song, the child's voice became increasingly distant, as if rising into the sky, and the sound became hazy and melodious:
"Time is precious, cherish the present moment, [Dormitory Survival Game] begins!"
The sound completely disappeared, the phone screen turned white, the interface was still unfamiliar, and Tang Xinjue saw his name on it.
Name: Tang Xin Jue
Dormitory: Dorm 606
School: Three universities
Credits: 0
Below the basic information column, there are several small information boxes, namely [Dormitory Situation], [Exam/Competition Record], [Superpower Props], and [Physical Information].
Tang Xinjue was about to take a closer look when he saw the column of [Supernatural Props] suddenly flash.
"Congratulations! You've received a reward for your good performance before the game started! The thing in your hand right now will become your innate ability~"
The thing in your hand?
Tang Xinjue looked down, and at that moment, the lights in the dormitory suddenly lit up, and he could see her "natural ability" clearly in the light as bright as day.
A brand new tool, about 50 centimeters long, with a hard plastic rod and an orange rubber bowl-shaped end, suddenly presented a face that was not often seen, but was well-known to everyone, young and old.
A genuine toilet plunger.
Tang Xin Jue: "..."
Is it too late for her to reload the game now?
The author has something to say:

Monster: I'm cracked!
Tang Xin Jue: I am also cracked
