Daily life after the test
From Ji Liuxing's words, Ji Yunding could tell that this was not something she was qualified to know given their current relationship, so she stopped asking. Obviously, Ji Liuxing was not idle enough to sit here all the time, so he stood up and left after saying what was necessary.
Before Zheng Nuo woke up, Ji Yunding stretched himself and suddenly felt that his ears were much clearer, as if even the sound of dust falling to the ground was clearly audible. The layers of sound were also clearer, as if the noisy sound could not completely suppress the smaller sound.
Ji Yunding followed the sound, got out of bed and opened the window. A cat walked out slowly, with a sound subtly different from the rustling of leaves in the wind. It looked at Ji Yunding proudly, then walked away, wagging its tail.
Afterwards, Ji Yunding realized something and quickly sat back on the bed to look through the file that Ji Liuxing had just handed over to him.
【Ghost at the Stairs】
[Weird type: humanoid]
[Weirdness Level: E (upgraded to C in dormitory environment)]
[Note: According to Guaiyi's oral account, she was ostracized and bullied by her roommates. The core rules of Guaiyi consisted of the three scenes that impressed her the most: being forced to sleep under the bed; her roommates opening the door and laughing at her while she was taking a shower; and the dormitory management staff ignoring her problems.
After she reported the incident to the dormitory manager, she was retaliated by the dormitory manager and her roommates. According to the on-site survey personnel, the deceased was found at the staircase, dragging the bunk bed and crawling for nearly 20 meters, with strangulation, burns and blunt force injuries (cause of death). After that, all the people involved disappeared. When the weirdness came into contact with the dormitory building to form an environmental weirdness, the people involved were observed to appear in the form of derivative weirdness. 】
Monsters with emotions and obsessions are much more complex than ordinary monsters - they usually have their own will and can communicate. Their rules are more flexible and difficult to generalize.
Ji Yunding flipped through a few more pages of the experimental records and finally saw what she was looking for.
【Screaming Blessing】
[Source: Ghost at the Stairs]
[Effect: Hearing Enhancement]
After seeing this brief explanation, Ji Yunding silently pondered whether his negotiation method was wrong. The situation in the ghost story was too different from the real world, which made Ji Yunding, who didn't know what was considered "normal", a little uncomfortable.
However, since there are benefits, that probably means it’s the right thing to do?
It was easy to verify this, just wait for Zheng Nuo to wake up and ask her. However, the first thing Zheng Nuo did after waking up was not to talk to Ji Yunding, but to pace around and lament that she had lost an opportunity to build a relationship.
"Ji Liuxing, that's Ji Liuxing!" Zheng Nuo's expression and tone were as if he had just seen a family bucket he had just bought fall to the ground, "Yun Ding, what do you think of him? Compared to the legendary..."
"Well, I don't know what he is like in the legend." Ji Yunding raised his hand aggrievedly, interrupting Zheng Nuo's question.
Zheng Nuo sat back on the bed, grabbed Ji Yunding's shoulders and shook them: "The pioneer of the strange story plane! Legend has it that he used his own ability to forcibly tear open the entrance to a plane, and now people can go to the birthplace of weirdness to explore the origin and truth of strange stories. Didn't you learn this in high school?"
"...But there's no exam here." Ji Yunding muttered, but then he remembered it, "He's a nice guy, and he even brought us snacks."
Zheng Nuo wordlessly leaned his forehead on Ji Yunding's shoulder and let out the longest sigh Ji Yunding had ever heard from Zheng Nuo since they had met.
"Ji Yunding, I really suspect you are an alien. Can't you just be a little excited?"
"I was really excited. He told me that I could get 16 months' salary in the future."
Zheng Nuo decided to give up the topic. Ji Yunding took the opportunity to ask, "Nunuo, do you know what the situation is like in other buildings?"
"It just so happens that I did some work while you were sleeping. You can take a look at it." Zheng Nuo took out her cell phone and swiped it, then transferred a form to the three-person group in their dormitory.
Ji Yunding opened it and took a look - it contained precise reasons for individual eliminations and the timeline for each building, with comments and summaries added.
"Going back from the one-way staircase will lead to the dormitory manager's room." Ji Yunding scratched his head while reading, pointed to line 47 and couldn't help reading aloud, "What does it mean that in the dormitory, in order to suppress fear, he wrestled with his roommate and accidentally knocked open the bathroom door?"
"Literally."
"The guy in line 73 rolled over and fell off the bed in the middle of the night..."
"I asked about this. This student usually doesn't sleep well. He was probably frightened by the screams outside in the middle of the night."
Ji Yunding flipped through it for a while and finally found the information he wanted.
Dormitories that are empty at night need to be polite when triggering night chats, pay attention to listening and restrain the desire to express. In addition, probably because they are not dormitory staff of the school, the investigators will definitely be corrupted the next day - getting medicine to remove the corruption from the investigators seems to be an important plus point.
Oh, and points.
Ji Yunding finally remembered the score watch that she had taken off because it was in the way. However, when she took it out, she couldn't help but be stunned when she looked at the numbers on the dial.
"Nono, how many points did you get?"
"Three thousand, what's wrong?"
"I took twelve thousand... This can be exchanged for money at a five-to-one ratio, right?" Ji Yunding pointed at his watch and looked at Zheng Nuo with sparkling eyes.
Zheng Nuo couldn't help feeling a little jealous in his heart, but under Ji Yunding's gaze, he was like a balloon that had been punctured, and he didn't know where all the anger went.
"Yes, you can just use your watch to redeem it."
Ji Yunding cheered, quickly picked up his watch and pressed a few buttons, then immediately took out his mobile phone and opened the chat box of a friend.
——Ah Qing, I've paid you back! I'll treat you to a meal during the holidays.
It was the first time that Zheng Nuo saw Ji Yunding's lively expression and gesture, so she could naturally guess that the person on the other side was a good friend of hers. Ji Yunding had just replied to the message when she looked up and saw Zheng Nuo with her hands folded in front of her chest, humming at her.
"Remember the dear roommate who just gave you the fruits of your labor?"
Facing the almost jealous question, Ji Yunding tilted his head, thinking of his extremely poor negotiation performance today, and hesitated: "I..."
"Okay, it's just a joke. In fact, I owe you more this time." Zheng Nuo saw that Ji Yunding was getting a little nervous, so he smiled and spread his hands, "You have your secrets. Whether you are willing to tell them is my problem, not yours."
At this moment, the door of the medical room suddenly slammed open. Ji Yunding swore that he clearly heard a tiny cracking sound when the door collided with the wall and both sides were slightly damaged.
"Yunding, Nuonuo, are you okay?" Li Xiaowen rushed in carrying her magic shopping bag. "I asked the staff when I finished the test, and they said you were sent to the infirmary. I thought..."
The door shook on its hinges and creaked under the weight.
Ji Yunding stared at the wall and the facade for three seconds, then looked away.
The snacks in the shopping bag were from the dormitory, along with other miscellaneous daily necessities. It was obvious that they were in a hurry.
"Yunding, come with me to the Points Management Office later. We need to explain the role of reporting Xiaowen - she did all the preliminary preparations and was at a disadvantage. In addition, I also want to report that I set up a dormitory group in advance, which I think will add a lot of points."
Ji Yunding agreed and casually flipped through the contract brought by Ji Liuxing, frowning slightly.
There was no problem with Zheng Nuo's copy, but there was a stamp on Ji Yunding's contract, and the handwriting was unclear.
What should we do? Ask Zheng Nuo.
But just as Ji Yunding was about to speak, he found that Zheng Nuo took the contract farther away without leaving a trace and winked at Ji Yunding.
That’s right. If Li Xiaowen hadn’t received the invitation, it would have been embarrassing for her to chat with Zheng Nuo on her own…
Ji Yunding silently remembered this and started chatting about other things. In fact, Ji Yunding integrated into the group through such observation and learning.
The three chatted for a while and agreed on a time for dinner. Then Li Xiaowen's phone rang. He went out to answer the call. When he came back, he apologized and said he had to report his safety to his friends and family.
When Zheng Nuo heard this, he seemed to remember something. He took out his cell phone and pressed twice. Looking at the screen, he couldn't help laughing a little, then put it back.
"Zheng Yan?" Ji Yunding made a reasonable guess, but he never expected to get a roll of the eyes from Zheng Nuo.
"I'm rushing to make myself unhappy? My mother replied to me with a 'read'."
A healthy parent-child relationship was completely Ji Yunding's blind spot, so in order not to show his weakness four times in one day, Ji Yunding decided to change the subject and talk about the contract.
So twenty minutes later, Zheng Nuo pulled Ji Yunding to the door of the temporary working group office for the entrance test.
After the two men explained their purpose, they called a person in charge after a while.
"Student Zheng Nuo, I am the research team's special explanation staff. Please come over here to discuss in detail." The visitor spoke with a standard smile and looked at Ji Yunding. "I am very sorry for our work mistakes. Please move to this room and a professional will solve it for you."
This was nothing, and Ji Yunding followed him without thinking much. As a result, when she pushed the door open, she saw Ji Liuxing turned his chair around to face her, raised his hand and greeted her with a smile.
"Nice to meet you again, classmate Ji Yunding."
"Hello, I'm here to find the relevant personnel to print a new contract." After Zheng Nuo's explanation, Ji Yunding roughly understood that he should speak to this well-behaved person.
But unexpectedly, Ji Liuxing waved his hand and said indifferently: "Am I not considered a 'relevant person' of the research team?"
Oh, okay.
After hearing what he said, Ji Yunding followed suit and said, "Could you please print a new contract for me?"
Even Ji Liuxing was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a few seconds, he really stood up, turned on the printer, took out his mobile phone and started operating it.
"I deliberately printed your contract. I need to discuss something with you alone." Ji Liuxing said bluntly while looking at the printer. "To make a long story short, I'm about to die. Maybe in a few years, but not too long."
