Dormitory Rules 2
Hearing this, Zheng Nuo stood up and wanted to check the situation. Ji Yunding held her back and shook his head.
If the person is not dead, then it is useless to go there. If something really happened, then we should not act rashly.
"Didn't you say... it was just a test?" Li Xiaowen was so scared that he was about to cry, his voice trembling.
In fact, there are quite a few accidental deaths in this school. After all, people's research on the weird is still limited. The disclaimer before enrollment is not a gimmicky agreement signed before entering a haunted house.
"Let's take a look at the dormitory group." Zheng Nuo opened his mobile phone and looked through it. The more he looked, the tighter his brows frowned.
Ji Yunding came over and asked in confusion: "Aren't all the people in this building freshmen? When was the dormitory built?"
"While you were catching up on your sleep, I did some work." Zheng Nuo smiled and didn't elaborate, "I'll help you guys."
Ji Yunding turned on his phone and clicked on the group invitation sent by Zheng Nuo. The red dot in the chat area quickly jumped to 99+. The explosive message alert sound scared Ji Yunding so much that he quickly turned on the Do Not Disturb function, fearing that his cheap phone would be shaken to pieces.
Most of the messages that were flooding the screen were meaningless. Ji Yunding quickly browsed through them, looking for useful information.
The deceased was a freshman in the dormitory 622 next door. It seemed that she forgot to knock on the door when she went to the toilet.
In this case, Ji Yunding probably knew that her inference was correct. Then, she asked Zheng Nuo to search for Zheng Yan's comments by group members, but found that this guy had not posted anything.
"There is no problem with the third rule." Ji Yunding just said this, but when he saw the bloody picture posted in the group, he frowned.
The people in the dormitory obviously didn't have time to think about anything else and only wanted to ask for help. The dead man's eyes were empty and bleeding, and his eyeballs had been dug out alive.
"Xiao Wen, stop looking. I'll relay it to you." Ji Yunding took away Li Xiaowen's phone, and the latter also knew what had happened and nodded obediently.
But even after listening to Ji Yunding's description, Li Xiaowen's expression did not improve. Zheng Nuo raised his eyes and added casually, "Yunding's description is very comprehensive."
This sentence is meaningless, but Zheng Nuo means that she is willing to be responsible for what she just relayed with Ji Yunding. On the one hand, it makes Li Xiaowen feel at ease, and on the other hand, she feels that Ji Yunding's behavior is a bit reckless.
After all, if something went wrong, no one could tell whether Li Xiaowen would blame Ji Yunding.
It is better to do nothing than to make mistakes, and to do the least with the most enthusiastic attitude - this is the way of being an official that Zheng Nuo learned from her father.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunding turned to look at Zheng Nuo and said softly: "Now, the lives of the three of us are in each other's hands."
If there is a problem with the test, can they still go down to the dormitory manager to inform him of the vacant beds?
There is no doubt that this is definitely an extremely risky thing, but not reporting it also violates the rules. It can be said to be a dilemma.
Even the rules issued previously are not sure how credible they are.
"What do the teachers and counselors say?"
Ji Yunding turned around and asked Zheng Nuo without thinking about this matter, but Zheng Nuo shook his head: "No reply. If nothing unexpected happens... we are involved in an environmental weird talk."
Environmental horror, as the name suggests, the entire environment is out of touch with the real world - perhaps a building, a room; it could also be a mountain or even a city.
It is a blessing in disguise that the mobile phone can still be used. Even if it is only limited to the dormitory building, it will be of great help.
"We should decide what to do now. Go find Zheng Yan to find out the situation, help 622, or just wait for rescue in the dormitory." Ji Yunding pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion, "We need to confirm the situation of the dormitory manager. If we miss this legitimate opportunity with 622, we must be more cautious in the future."
If the environment here is really weird, maybe even the dormitory manager has been replaced.
Zheng Nuo and Li Xiaowen turned pale with fright when they heard the proposal, but they also knew that Ji Yunding's approach was relatively safe.
It was written in the general student handbook that just as water cannot flow backwards, both humans and monsters in ghost stories are subject to various restrictions. Generally speaking, humans are at a disadvantage in terms of information asymmetry.
"That's what an investigator has to do..." Li Xiaowen's hands were shaking a little, but he took a deep breath and stood up first: "Let's go."
"Xiao Wen, I'm sorry." Zheng Nuo saw Li Xiao Wen's reaction and spoke more seriously: "I thought you lied on the dormitory application form."
In order to avoid dormitory conflicts, a special option is listed when allocating dormitories: "Whether you tend to take a more active rather than a steady approach in the school's courses."
But a form is just a form after all, and there are always people who like to follow others and pick up ready-made ones.
The three of them had a brief discussion and decided to start with something with lower risks - to test Zheng Yan's attitude first.
However, Zheng Nuo made a bitter face and reluctantly sent a message to Zheng Yan to ask, but received no reply.
"This is not normal." Zheng Nuo said confidently, "If she saw it, she would definitely laugh at me the first time."
Ji Yunding was too lazy to care about her roommate's family affairs, as her own family was a mess. However, since Zheng Nuo said so, based on Zheng Yan's previous performance, Ji Yunding had every reason to believe her.
"What if we knock on the door?" Li Xiaowen suggested tentatively. Ji Yunding immediately shook his head: "They definitely won't open it. Except for 622, every dormitory should be full now."
The rules clearly stated, "If all dormitory members are inside, please do not open the door." If they knocked on the door now, the best result would be a rejection.
The worst outcome... In ghost stories, doing unnecessary things is never a good thing.
…………
On the other side, inside the monitoring room.
"Some students in Room 623 have started to take action. They seem to want to find people in Room 622." A handsome blond man raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. "Not bad. They are the fastest in the group."
On the side, Xie Yian looked at this person with some resentment, and said sarcastically: "It's just an entrance test, why bother you to come?"
"To prevent more students with high affinity from being tricked into raising ghosts by you." The blond man stretched lazily. Although he was still smiling, the threat in his words seemed to be overflowing. "Our group doesn't get along with those moderate people with high affinity, but we look down on people like you who cheat and deceive."
"You..." Xie Yian was about to get angry, but his breath stopped. Ji Liuxing turned around and looked at him, but Xie Yian didn't dare to attack him.
"Ji Yunding, right? This is my family member, he belongs to me." Just as Ji Liuxing said this, a kind old man next to him frowned and said disapprovingly: "This child is so friendly, it's a pity to let him go to your place. It's better for him to come to my place."
As Xie Yian said, each group in the investigation team is divided into many factions, but generally speaking they can be divided into three factions based on their attitude towards weirdness - the radical faction led by Ji Liuxing, the moderate faction headed by the old man, and... the enslavement faction that will do anything to achieve its goal.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The righteous may not be righteous, and the evil may not be evil, but in the current world situation, it is enough to be useful.
"Hey, wait! Who said I wanted her to raise a ghost?" Xie Yian suddenly reacted and shouted, "How could I waste her inspiration like this..."
The three of them were staring at each other in confusion, when they suddenly heard an argument coming from the surveillance camera.
Ji Yunding and his group bumped into Zheng Yan awkwardly. Zheng Yan didn't expect that someone without inside information would dare to come here, and thought he had won the first place.
If it hadn't taken some time to convince these two roommates...
Thinking of this, Zheng Yan glared at his roommate fiercely.
Someone must accompany her at this point, otherwise she would be judged as reckless by the examiner who was watching. Otherwise, she would not bother to care about others.
Ji Yunding looked at the corpse over there, then looked at Zheng Yan, scratched his head and said, "You... aren't afraid of corpses?"
"What...what does it have to do with you?" Zheng Yan was still a little scared when he saw Ji Yunding. Besides, he still had the leverage over him, so he didn't dare to say anything unpleasant.
God knows Ji Yunding's eyes lit up, and he reached out and pulled Zheng Yan over: "It's just right, come and do the autopsy with me, so that I won't miss anything."
The two remaining "students" from Dormitory 622 were still pretending to be scared conscientiously, but a closer look revealed that they were already beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed.
What the hell? Are the newcomers of this generation so fierce? You know, when they first became investigators, they didn't dare to get so close to look at the corpse.
However, if there were not a shortage of manpower, they would not be selected from the general population...
Ji Yunding felt that the gazes around him were a little strange, so he explained: "I used to work a lot, often killing chickens, and occasionally helping others kill pigs, so I saw a lot of blood."
That being said, the body of a person who died in a miserable state is definitely different. One of the employees pretending to be a student was a little worried and advised: "Aren't you afraid? Don't be brave, I'll send the photos to the group..."
"I'm scared now. It might kill all of us later." Ji Yunding said, poking Zheng Nuo's arm, "Nono, recite the student handbook for them."
Zheng Nuo was stunned for a moment, then he began to read out awkwardly, like a child being forced by his relatives to perform a show: "Any clue can be a breakthrough. Apart from objective dangers, you should not let anything stop you from exploring."
After saying that, she noticed that Ji Yunding winked at her and then gave Zheng Yan a subtle wink.
Yes, Zheng Yan is not a brave person at all. Like now, she was trembling with fear, trying to shake off Ji Yunding, and she didn't look like she could bring a dormitory with her.
Unless the so-called "inside story" she knew was related to the current situation. Moreover, since she was just scared and hadn't run away yet, it proved that there was probably no danger over there.
After thinking it through, Zheng Nuo said decisively: "If you don't want to, step back. Yun Ding and I will check it out."
Ji Yunding loosened his hand at the right time, turned around, took out the clothesline that he had prepared long ago, and turned over the corpse from a distance.
"Will the person die if only an eye is missing?" Ji Yunding asked with a frown as he flipped the corpse like a pancake.
Zheng Nuo thought about it and answered carefully: "Theoretically, he may not die, but it depends on how deep he digs..."
Ji Yunding poked the corpse's pocket, frowned, and looked up to ask the person in Dormitory 622: "Was she going to take a shower or go to the toilet?"
"Take...a bath."
"I thought so, after all, there were spare clothes lying around, but she didn't have her student card."
The Mysterious Phenomenon Investigation Academy uses a card to get hot water, which is not very convenient. In theory, it is not difficult to set it to scan the code to get hot water, but electronic signals are too easily affected by strange stories, and mechanical and magnetic cards are relatively more stable.
"It should be... maybe I forgot."
Ji Yunding nodded, accepting this statement, and holding up the clothesline, he called out to the people present: "Go check with the dormitory manager? As agreed before, we will be backing you up with moral support."
