Dormitory Rules 1
"So, we have to conduct a one-week entrance test in the dormitory?" Ji Yunding summarized and frowned: "What about the dormitory manager?"
The dormitory of this university is a not so common three-person room. Ji Yunding didn't know the theoretical basis behind this, nor did he care about it.
The roommate who came back first was called Li Xiaowen. She and another roommate arrived later and were the third group to be tested for affinity, so they had not seen anything abnormal about this guy. They just replied with worry, "I don't know, but the school shouldn't let ordinary people get involved. Let's worry about ourselves first."
"What are you worried about?"
"It's a test. I don't know what's going on this time. I heard there are misleading rules..."
As they were talking, the dormitory head Zheng Nuo came back. She held a piece of paper in her hand and said, "The rules of the entrance examination have been handed down. You can read it first, and then we can discuss it after you finish reading it."
【Test Points Description】
In addition to fixed credits, our school adopts a point system to encourage students to explore independently. Points are linked to scholarships, awards and school recommendations, and can also be exchanged for money or other items. For details, please refer to the Freshman Handbook.
【Temporary Rules for Dormitory Closed Testing】
1. This test will start at 19:00 today. During the test, the lights in the dormitory will be turned off on time at 22:30. Do not check under the bed after the lights are turned off.
2. Please return to your dormitory on time. If the dormitory is not fully occupied, please report to the dormitory management staff in time. Make sure there are no empty beds in the dormitory.
3. The dormitory is equipped with an independent bathroom. Please knock on the door before using it, regardless of whether there is someone inside.
4. When you hear someone knocking on the door, make sure you know who is knocking on the door. If everyone is inside, it could be him.
5. It is one of you.
"Someone will come to our dormitory to install surveillance cameras later. Remember to change clothes behind the bed curtains." Zheng Nuo added, and just as he was about to bring the topic back, Ji Yunding frowned and immediately said, "Don't install it in the bathroom, right?"
"It is said that there will be no..."
At this point, Zheng Nuo and Li Xiaowen also breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, going to the toilet within the surveillance area was too disgusting.
"That is to say, the toilet does not need to be monitored." Ji Yunding thought and sorted out his thoughts, "But the third rule is related to the toilet... I have two guesses - either, if rule 3 is violated, the violator cannot enter the toilet at all; or, this rule is false."
The other two were stunned, while Ji Yunding stood up and walked around the room, knocking on the door from time to time to simulate the situation.
What would the person knocking on the door want to do? Soon, Ji Yunding got the correct answer that sounded like nonsense - he wanted to come in. The key was whether he should let him in.
The current clues are not enough to support Ji Yunding's further inference, but she vaguely feels that the most puzzling rule 5 should be the key.
"Yunding, have you thought of anything else?" Zheng Nuo was the first to react and asked. Li Xiaowen also had an expectant expression.
Ji Yunding shook his head and decided not to reveal all his guesses. He just raised his doubts: "I'm wondering what rule 5 means."
Zheng Nuo pondered for a while and expressed his guess: "Perhaps it means that one of us will be replaced by a dirty thing?"
It's not impossible. After all, roommates are not familiar with each other at the beginning of the school year.
"What a unique ice-breaking game." Zheng Nuo smiled bitterly. "Anyway, let's get to know each other better. For example... why did everyone come to this school?"
"Five insurances, one housing fund and thirteen salaries."
Ji Yunding's light words plunged the dormitory into an inexplicable silence, but then, perhaps because he did not expect to suddenly hear a conversation that sounded like that of relatives during the New Year in such a weird atmosphere, Li Xiaowen burst out laughing.
Laughter is contagious, and Zheng Nuo also began to laugh for some reason. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, but she still tried to bring the topic back to the normal: "It's very practical. Then I'll make it clear - I want to move up, but my family doesn't have the relevant background."
To be honest, Ji Yunding was not surprised at all. From the first moment he saw Zheng Nuo, Ji Yunding felt that she was someone who wanted to be a leader - her eyes were so bright, like a newly sharpened blade. Every word she said was as crisp as ice breaking, with almost no tail tone.
Especially in the following conversation, when Ji Yunding knew that her score was good enough to get into a key university, he couldn't help but say seriously: "You are amazing."
Not many people know clearly what they need. However, Zheng Nuo just regarded it as a polite compliment, and thanked him with a big smile, her neatly tied high ponytail swaying slightly.
Li Xiaowen scratched his head, a little shy: "I was... rejected when filling in the application form. My family won't let me repeat the year."
No repeating? A normal family would not make such a choice.
Ji Yunding thought of the 800 risk notification calls she had secretly received before, and sighed. It was not appropriate to ask questions when they just met, so she would talk about it later.
The three people in the dormitory agreed on a secret hand signal to prevent the bag from being stolen. Li Xiaowen bit her lip and suggested: "According to Yun Ding, the bathroom should be particularly dangerous. Why don't we go buy some necessary things now... diapers or something like that." She looked very embarrassed when she spoke, and she kept clenching her fingers.
Zheng Nuo shook his head, looking disapproving: "If that happens, we won't get any points. If we don't get more points in the early stages, the subsequent courses will only become more and more difficult."
"but……"
"If we were afraid, we shouldn't have come to this school in the first place." Zheng Nuo interrupted Li Xiaowen, frowning and showing his aggressive side, "You can stay by yourself, but let me make it clear first, I will not share my discovery for free."
When it comes to the choice of interests, the harmonious atmosphere just now suddenly became divided. The two of them looked at Ji Yunding at the same time - obviously, it was the third person's turn to express his opinion.
Ji Yunding was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.
The surveillance guy is here.
Although the conversation was interrupted appropriately, Ji Yunding could feel that there was still an unpleasant atmosphere between them. Fortunately, she escaped the embarrassment of publicly standing in line.
Under the surveillance, the already tense atmosphere became even more tense. The person who installed the surveillance also gave the three people a score watch - a convenient item for the review team to distribute points to individuals. Students can use the watch to check the increase or decrease of their points at any time.
Before night fell, Zheng Nuo went to other dormitories to visit and build relationships, while Li Xiaowen went out to purchase supplies.
Ji Yunding lay down on the bed, drew the curtains and prepared to catch up on his sleep, but found that the doll at the bedside had moved a little.
It had its back to Ji Yunding, as if trying to hide its face intentionally.
"Do you hate me?" Ji Yunding poked the doll and asked.
After feeling the hair of unknown material anxiously drawing crosses on the back of his hand, Ji Yunding thought about it and came to a conclusion: "You are afraid of scaring me."
I haven't done anything wrong, but just existing is a nuisance. Even if I don't have any bad intentions, I can only curl up in a corner so no one can see me.
Ji Yunding remembered the cobwebs and dust in the corner of the storage room, the cold leftovers, and the suffocating surging malice.
What's the difference between her and it?
"Don't be afraid. I told you I won't hate you." Ji Yunding gently rubbed the doll's head. "Something scarier will soon come to this dormitory. I'm scared. I'll feel more at ease if you accompany me."
In order to prove that he was telling the truth, Ji Yunding held the doll in his arms, as if it were an ordinary doll.
Ji Yunding slept very well and deeply. It was not until she heard a quarrel outside that she rubbed her eyes, got up sleepily, picked up her phone and checked the time.
It’s broken. Looks like I overslept.
Ji Yunding knocked her head. She had a very light sleep at home and thought she would wake up soon this time, but she didn't expect to sleep well here.
She opened the bed curtain and saw Zheng Nuo walking in with a dark face, followed by a girl who looked arrogant.
"No way, Nuonuo. Do you really think this is fair?" The girl's voice was high-pitched, which gave Ji Yunding a headache. "Let me tell you, I already knew the rules of this test. My father told me."
"that……"
"Hey, are you Nuonuo's roommate? I'm Zheng Yan, nice to meet you." Zheng Yan turned to look at Ji Yunding with a smile, "Are you ready? After all, you and Nuonuo have no other choice."
"that……"
"However, if you promise to listen to me in the future and not get involved with Zheng Nuo, I don't mind telling you some key points of this test."
"Student Zheng Yan, I want to say..." Ji Yunding took out his mobile phone and showed the recording interface that was jumping every second. He yawned at the same time, obviously not awake yet. "I was recording just now, is it okay?"
After all, he was about to take a strange test, and Ji Yunding was a little cautious because he was worried that there would be some unusual noises during his sleep. He didn't expect to record a big one. Although it was just an entrance test, this was a national key project, and I don't know how many people were watching it.
silence.
Good, it's quiet.
Ji Yunding closed the bed curtains with satisfaction, but before he could close his eyes and take a nap, he heard Zheng Yan's voice become higher and sound a little flustered.
"You! Give it to me!" Zheng Yan said as he stretched out his hand to pull the bed curtain, trying to snatch Ji Yunding's phone. Ji Yunding simply pulled open the curtain, revealing the smiling doll he was still holding.
Then, screams resounded throughout the not-so-spacious dormitory. Ji Yunding rubbed his ears with one hand and covered the baby's ears with the other.
"You...you..." Zheng Yan was so scared that her face turned pale. She pointed at Ji Yunding, her fingers shaking, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
The smiley doll cooperated and raised a strange smile, and then when it faced Zheng Yan, the mouth woven with black thread instantly collapsed.
It didn't like this guy who disturbed Ji Yunding's sleep.
After Zheng Yan ran away, Ji Yunding yawned again and glanced at Zheng Nuo: “It’s solved, do you have anything to say?”
"Uh...thank you?" Zheng Nuo said hesitantly, looking at Ji Yunding and then at the doll.
Ji Yunding turned around and put the doll back on the bedside, then yawned and got out of bed: "Very good. You have things you don't want to say, and so do I."
At the same time, Li Xiaowen poked his head out of the door and walked in timidly, carrying two very large bags in his left and right hands. The handles of the plastic bags were so tight that it was worrying that they would break in the next second.
Zheng Nuo and Ji Yunding hurriedly tried to take it, but they both stumbled at the same time and almost fell down.
What is so heavy?
"I saw you didn't buy any snacks or daily necessities, so I thought I'd stock up." Li Xiaowen smiled, a little embarrassed, "If you need them, just tell me."
After putting down his things, Li Xiaowen crossed his fingers and said hesitantly: "I may not have made it clear before. I think if we make more preparations, we can choose the time to take the initiative."
Zheng Nuo and Ji Yunding looked at each other, and Ji Yunding poked Zheng Nuo's arm: "Nunuo, apologize."
"I'm sorry, I spoke too hastily before." Zheng Nuo was straightforward and looked at Li Xiaowen frankly, "After the test is over, I will treat our dormitory to a meal as an apology."
Generally speaking, arguments and reconciliations come easily to nineteen-year-olds. At least for now, the three of them began to play cards together, waiting for the test to begin.
However, accidents always come faster than expected, and a shrill scream cuts through the night. The three of them looked at their watches at the same time - it was half past seven.
It's not a bad thing to have one less crappy competitor. Ji Yunding wanted to continue paying attention to the cards in his hand, but he heard a cry for help from outside.
"Help! Someone's dead!"
