Dormitory Rules 6
"There are still many people in the dormitory building who don't even realize the situation - you know, most of the people who come to this school are ordinary people who are brave enough and have not received any training." Zheng Nuo pointed his mobile phone screen towards Ji Yunding and Li Xiaowen. There was a heated discussion in the chat group and the overall atmosphere was very pessimistic.
Fortunately, with the popularization of basic knowledge about weirdness, at least for the time being, there are no people who are so crazy as to challenge the weirdness.
Ji Yunding glanced around and his eyes fixed on a message - "I haven't had breakfast yet."
"Hurry, Zheng Nuo, Xiaowen, let's reinforce the door." Ji Yunding stood up quickly and showed a nervous look for the first time.
Being hungry for a day is certainly not a big deal, but if the entire dormitory is in a panic of "possibly not having enough food to eat", then weirdness may not be the biggest problem at that time.
Compared to monsters, Ji Yun must be more afraid of humans.
Zheng Nuo patted Ji Yunding on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me."
Ji Yunding stared at Zheng Nuo for a while, and finally nodded.
In another dormitory building, Ji Liuxing was sitting on the strange corpse of the "dormitory manager" and sighed softly.
Because the two investigators forced students to explore the way, which caused public outrage, Dormitory Building No. 13 fell in a very short time. In the end, even Ji Liuxing took some time to get everything done.
It actually didn't take much time to solve the anomaly, but it was too much effort to appease the students and explain the reasons. After all, it involved professional issues such as illusion, ghost control and formation that ordinary people could not touch. Even if the people who "died" in the test were brought in to prove it, it would only cause a new round of commotion and panic.
Furthermore, it's not just the students who are put to the test; an investigator with low moral standards or excessive incompetence can be devastating to the mission.
Ji Liuxing had just taken a breath and was feeling depressed that two more investigators had failed the test when he saw Xie Yian approaching him aggressively.
"Ji Liuxing! Why did you kill my weird again?"
"It touched me." Ji Liuxing brushed off his sleeves and explained slowly, "It's sticky and disgusting."
Xie Yian felt that he was really unlucky to work with this guy. It was totally unreasonable.
Ji Liuxing was too lazy to argue and simply asked in a businesslike manner: "How are the remaining buildings doing?"
According to the original plan, these ordinary students would be considered excellent as long as they could hold on until now. After that, the team leaders would have to watch the surveillance footage one by one to select newcomers they thought had potential.
"More than half of the people in Building 5 are infected. People in Building 9 are rioting, and people have been sent to deal with it. Building 11..." Xie Yian paused here, his tone a little subtle, "I don't think we need to worry about it."
Don't worry?
"Are you putting your butt on your head again today?" Ji Liuxing looked at Xie Yian in surprise and started to mock him without hesitation.
The conflict between the two was simple. It was nothing more than Ji Liuxing not liking Xie Yian using the blood and energy of the new team members to nourish the monsters. Xie Yian then sarcastically said, "That's better than the high mortality rate of your team."
Ji Liuxing's research group is one of the vanguard groups in exploring the strange world. It is these people who paid a heavy price that allowed mankind to have a temporary respite from the invasion of the unknown world.
It can be said that every member of the vanguard is an absolute elite. Of course, it does not mean that the research-oriented group is not important, but in terms of handling weirdness and combat capabilities, ten Xie Yian combined cannot compare to Ji Liuxing.
The result of this conflict made Xie Yian feel scared whenever he saw this blond pretty boy who always had a fake smile on his face.
Before Xie Yian's outburst, Ji Liuxing took out his phone and tuned to Building 11. He was silent for a long time, then smiled and said, "It seems that I made a wrong judgment. It is indeed a good idea to build a specialized school to directly recruit investigators."
Zheng Nuo looked at the few people at the door who were in a trance after taking pills, and gave an affirmative smile to those who came to help.
Yesterday, it seemed that no one came to check the dormitories on the sixth floor, so currently, except for the two dormitories that were short of people, almost everyone is alive.
Before the trial, Zheng Nuo had sufficient conversations with others and was able to pick out a relatively reliable dormitory.
As long as they muster up the courage and with the three of them taking the lead, it would not be difficult to subdue these corrupted and insane people with the advantage in numbers.
Use this incident to reduce everyone's panic, form alliances with more people, and make four people owe you a debt of gratitude for saving their lives. It's a sure win.
Ji Yunding kept doing his work in silence, and only breathed a sigh of relief after everyone else left.
"Yunding, you should rely on others more occasionally. There is a limit to what one person can do." Zheng Nuo watched all the way and couldn't help but persuade him.
"What if they want to take away all our supplies?" Ji Yunding asked back. She had been standing in the blind spot of the three people who came to help. If they made any unusual movements, Ji Yunding would be able to hit them with a club immediately.
Zheng Nuo and Li Xiaowen's safety is tied to hers - judging from the current situation, an empty dormitory is definitely more dangerous than a normal dormitory.
Ji Yunding was willing to give a certain degree of trust to this solid relationship of interest, but he always remained vigilant towards the people in other dormitories.
If the people gathered here were from the society, or if everyone had been hungry for two or three days, Ji Yun would rather use a bed sheet to try to escape from the balcony than agree to Zheng Nuo's plan.
At present, most people still hold on to the hope of being rescued. If they do something extreme, no one knows whether they will be held accountable in the future - this is a deterrent from the civilized world.
What's more, the people here are all students who have just finished the college entrance examination, and perhaps not so many of them are accustomed to thinking about problems in such a wild way.
Now is obviously not the time for a long conversation. Fortunately, Ji Yunding and Zheng Nuo are not the kind of people who insist on persuading each other regardless of the occasion.
Moreover, Zheng Nuo chose to turn a blind eye to the iron rod that Ji Yunding took off by holding the bed railing, so Ji Yunding also decided to be tolerant of his companion's actions.
At least judging from the results, this was a very successful operation, but the information provided by the people who woke up was even more confusing.
According to the two investigators, they seemed to have become like this without any signs at all. This is unreasonable. In theory, any strange story should have a traceable basis. Moreover, they have already reported it, so this should not have happened.
Zheng Yan looked panic-stricken, her pupils shrank slightly, and her slightly curly hair trembled with fear. But when she saw Zheng Nuo, she immediately took a deep breath and forced herself to stand up straighter.
"I didn't notice anything unusual when I returned to the dormitory. We..." Zheng Yan's voice was a little hoarse. He just said one sentence, but his face suddenly became strange again. He almost muttered to himself in confusion, "We were... chatting? We chatted in the dormitory at night, and chatted until very late, but I don't remember what I said at all, but I remember that there must be three people."
Obviously, under such circumstances, no one would be interested in chatting with a roommate they just met at night. And according to Zheng Yan, they chatted for a long time, and it seemed that they kept talking even after their mouths were dry and their throats were hoarse.
She thought the night would never end, that they would keep talking. Once she stopped talking, an indescribable fear came over her, as if breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, and the shadows under the bed were crawling upwards, binding her hands and feet.
"Then I kept talking and talking, but no one asked me to stop. In the end, no one even responded to me." When Zheng Yan said this, he seemed to fall into great fear again.
Zheng Nuo sighed and gently touched Zheng Yan's head, again and again, until she calmed down a little.
"Yunding, Xiaowen, can we let her go to our dormitory? I..."
Zheng Nuo had just finished her words when Zheng Yan suddenly shook off her hand and interrupted her by looking directly at her.
"I don't need you to be so self-righteous about doing good for me anymore, ever again."
Perhaps they parted on bad terms, but Ji Yunding felt a little envious.
Even if it's awkward, it's a love that's obvious and can't be faked.
However, Ji Yunding would forget about this thought as soon as he turned his head. He had lived through more than ten years, so he would not be so moved by such a thing.
Back in the dormitory, Zheng Nuo and Li Xiaowen were discussing the supply of food and other supplies, while Ji Yunding was sitting alone on the edge of the bed, listening to their overly optimistic remarks.
"I want to meet 'it'." Ji Yunding's words startled the two of them, but then Ji Yunding gave an inference, "Based on the current situation, it is obvious that 'it' has two references. One is the 'dormitory manager', and the other is most likely the person we met. When it came, the dormitory manager did not check the dorms."
If there are dormitories on this floor that are short of people, the risk of erosion on this floor will be greatly reduced. However, as a price, the dormitories that are short of people will seem to be in danger.
It seemed that it could not directly affect the dormitories where no one was missing, but if Ji Yunding had acted slower and allowed Zheng Nuo to be dragged under the bed by it beyond bedtime, things would probably have been different.
Zheng Nuo frowned, not quite agreeing: "This is not enough to constitute a reason for direct contact with the weird. Ji Yunding, we are new students. Do you know how much preparation a formal investigator has to make before facing the weird..."
"There is no other way to break the impasse." Ji Yunding stood up and said the fact that the two had been escaping. "So far, we have not found any clues about 'escape'."
Perhaps they have mastered the rules to protect themselves, but there are more objective problems - food and water.
Zheng Nuo opened his mouth, and his tough aura weakened a little: "Then you shouldn't go..."
"To be frank, I don't trust those two investigators - at least for now I don't trust their abilities." Ji Yunding stood up and folded his hands across his chest. "As for waiting for rescue...if you want, you can continue to wait."
Ji Yunding has never had the habit of relying on others, and similarly, he has little intention of trusting others.
She was right. The investigators here were also just rookies who had never been on a truly dangerous mission. It was just their identity as “investigators” that made others trust them too blindly.
But the panic and turmoil caused by revealing the truth was also not what Ji Yunding wanted. So, she allowed the two investigators to continue to be the "backbone". Identity is the rule of human society, and she accepted it.
"I understand." Zheng Nuo also stood up and clapped his hands, then turned to look at Li Xiaowen, "Xiao Wen, go take care of Zheng Yan and the others in the dormitory."
"What are you doing?"
"I'll go with you. Xiaowen's erosion is too deep to be completely removed, so she's not suitable to be with us." Zheng Nuo tilted her head, her neat high ponytail swaying, "Tell me the truth, do you trust my ability?"
Ji Yunding looked at Zheng Nuo and nodded.
