School Rules
"I regret to inform a person in charge and three players that you have entered the dungeon "School Rules". Please listen carefully to the background story."
"First High School is the best high school in this town. Many parents hope that their children can be admitted to this high school, but the school rules are strict. Students must fully abide by the school rules and devote themselves to their studies in order to successfully graduate from First High School..."
"The following is the player's mission: Leave the First High School safely."
"System prompt: This instance is uncontrollable. The system cannot interfere with anything that happens in the instance. Please be mentally prepared."
"Well, good luck to you all."
He Lizhou opened his eyes and saw a dim roof in front of him. He held himself back and did not move. He didn't know how much time had passed until his body began to feel numb before he heard footsteps outside the door leaving.
He Lizhou immediately turned over slightly and sat up, grabbing the person next to him with his backhand.
The bed in the school dormitory was very narrow. He Lizhou already felt crowded with two people lying side by side. The movement also caused the bed to shake slightly, making a creaking sound.
It was easy for him to pinch the other person's throat, but He Lizhou found something wrong. The man's neck was thinner and longer than that of a boy.
There was a slight movement below, and someone left the bed.
He walked to He Lizhou's bed and whispered, "Zhou Zhou?"
He Lizhou recognized it was Sheng Ju's voice and without loosening his hand, he slowly led him back to the bed without making any sound, but he did not respond either.
It was too dark, and he couldn't see clearly whether it was Sheng Ju. If it was an ordinary copy, he could respond and give it a try, but this was a punishment copy after all, and no one had ever experienced it, so he couldn't take the risk.
The person under the bed didn't hear He Lizhou's response, so he called out again, "Zhou Zhou, what are you doing?"
He Lizhou still didn't reply. Instead, the person next to him touched He Lizhou's other hand and drew the word "rain" on his palm.
Considering that the other party had been very quiet from the beginning and had allowed him to clamp his neck until now, He Lizhou was convinced that this was indeed Peng Ningyu, so he slowly let go of his hand.
Peng Ningyu regained her freedom and took two deep breaths of air, but did not dare to speak to He Lizhou.
He Lizhou did not agree to the man under the bed just now. Peng Ningyu guessed that he might feel that the other party's identity was questionable.
Thinking about it this way, Peng Ningyu also felt that the other party was indeed weird. Although Sheng Ju looked fearless, he would not be so reckless as to get out of bed and come over without understanding the situation.
After all, this is a school copy, and the system's announcement is very clear. You must abide by the rules. Generally speaking, school rules prohibit walking around and talking after lights out.
The person under the bed waited for a long time but didn't get any response from He Lizhou. He returned to his bed at some point.
The sounds of deep and shallow breathing were heard again in the dormitory, but He Lizhou and Peng Ningyu were obviously unable to sleep.
For unknown reasons, the two of them were put together by the system.
He Lizhou guessed that it might be because he was not a player and the system had an error.
But in this case, I would have to be sent to the girls' dormitory instead of having Peng Ningyu and myself sent together.
There were some problems with this place, He Lizhou secretly took note of it, but now was not the time to guess the reason.
They were not sure whether the dormitory manager would suddenly show up to check the number of people in the dormitory. Even if not, the two of them could not sleep in each other's arms. He Lizhou's brain was working rapidly, trying to think of a way to send Peng Ningyu back to the girls' dormitory.
Peng Ningyu opened the virtual screen on her wrist and typed to ask He Lizhou: "Who was that just now?"
He Lizhou also raised his hand and typed a few words: "It won't be Shengju anyway."
Peng Ningyu felt the same way, "How am I going to get back to the girls' dormitory?"
He Lizhou: "The people below are not ours, don't move for now. If the dormitory manager comes to check the number of people, we will make plans."
As soon as He Lizhou typed out these words, a beam of flashlight shone in from outside, accompanied by the dormitory manager's low count: "1...2..."
He Lizhou lifted the quilt and covered Peng Ningyu with it.
The flashlight moved to He Lizhou's bed, "4... huh? Why don't you cover yourself with a blanket?"
He Lizhou raised his head and said, "I'm afraid of the heat."
The dormitory manager nodded slowly and continued counting the number of people.
He Lizhou took the opportunity to lie back down and swept the lower bunk opposite.
One of the two men is short and fat, and the other is tall and thin.
The short and fat one is definitely not Sheng Ju, but the tall and thin one is too thin and also does not have the body shape of Sheng Ju.
If the player had not occupied the NPC's body, then the person who had just called him was not Sheng Ju.
He Lizhou withdrew his gaze, lay back on the bed, and waited with bated breath for the dormitory manager to leave.
The dormitory manager walked away with heavy footsteps. Peng Ningyu pulled down the quilt a little to get some fresh air. It was too dangerous, and she didn't know if there would be a second dormitory inspection. She had to hurry back to the girls' dormitory.
After waiting for about an hour, He Lizhou heard the sound of a door opening outside, followed by the sound of flowing water, and then slowly the second sound.
The dormitories in this school do not have independent bathrooms. He Lizhou guessed that after an hour, students would be allowed to go to the public bathroom.
He Lizhou sat up and patted Peng Ningyu gently, motioning her to follow.
Peng Ningyu also stood up silently, and the two of them walked out of the dormitory.
Just after they walked out, a student in the lower bunk suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the dormitory door.
He Lizhou asked Peng Ningyu to hide behind the door. He stood in front of the sink and turned on the faucet. Water dripped down drop by drop. He stood in front of the faucet and heard the footsteps of the dormitory manager getting closer and closer.
"Who didn't turn off the faucet!" The dormitory manager walked to the door and asked angrily.
He Lizhou raised his hand and said, "Dorm supervisor, this faucet seems to be broken. Please come and take a look."
The dormitory manager approached and asked suspiciously, "How is it possible? This batch of equipment is all new. How could it break so quickly? Did you break it?"
He Lizhou pursed his lips, looking aggrieved, and shook his head, "No, it was like this when I came in."
Seeing that He Lizhou looked well-behaved, the dormitory manager walked over and lowered his head to fiddle with the faucet. He Lizhou took advantage of the situation to push the dormitory manager's head into the sink and gave him a hard slap in the face.
The dormitory manager's body fell limply. He Lizhou put her on the ground and quickly took out a piece of soap from the basin under the sink, which was probably something a student didn't have time to take away.
He Lizhou dipped a little water and rubbed the slippery soap on his arms and hands, then called Peng Ningyu to run out together.
When they ran to the stairwell, they found that this was a closed dormitory building. It was surrounded by buildings and the inside was empty. The school had made it into a small garden. There were two security guards patrolling there at the time.
He Lizhou asked Peng Ningyu to stay aside and ran out first, attracting the attention of the security guard.
The security guard pointed at He Lizhou and yelled, "Which dormitory are you from? What are you doing so late at night?"
The two security guards surrounded He Lizhou, and Peng Ningyu took the opportunity to slip out from behind them.
Neither of them discussed it beforehand, but they cooperated very well, and the security guard didn't even notice that someone had slipped away behind him.
The door was not locked. Peng Ningyu looked back at He Lizhou. He Lizhou was arguing with two security guards at the moment and couldn't take care of her. So she ran first and went into the girls' dormitory building opposite.
The security guard tried to grab He Lizhou with one hand and was about to hit him with an electric baton with the other hand. However, He Lizhou had anticipated this and the soap he had applied on his arm took effect.
The security guard pulled, and He Lizhou pulled back with force, but the security guard's hand slipped and he lost his hold, and he almost fell.
He Lizhou stopped when he saw Peng Ningyu had left the men's dormitory building. "I'm here to call an ambulance! The dormitory supervisor fainted in the bathroom!"
The security guard was skeptical, thinking that He Lizhou was deceiving them, so he raised the electric baton again. He Lizhou blocked it, and immediately a red and swollen area appeared on his arm. "If you don't believe me, go to the dormitory building and see. I was afraid that someone would die, so I hurried down!"
A security guard said sullenly, "That's right."
Just by looking at it, you can tell whether the student is lying or not.
The two of them took He Lizhou back to the bathroom. The dormitory manager was still lying on the ground with no sign of waking up. He Lizhou was glad that he had been ruthless, otherwise he would have no way to make up for it now.
When the security guard saw that the dormitory manager had really fainted on the ground, he no longer cared about He Lizhou. He quickly helped the person up, slapped and hit him, and pinched his philtrum, making his face twice as red and swollen. Only then did the dormitory manager slowly wake up.
The dormitory manager touched the back of his neck, recalled what happened before he fainted, and flew into a rage, "How dare you lie to me, you devil!"
He Lizhou dodged the slap from the dormitory manager and said, "I didn't. I saw the dormitory manager suddenly fainted, and I was shocked. How are you now? Are you still dizzy?"
The dormitory manager clearly remembered that it was He Lizhou who pressed his head down, but seeing He Lizhou's behavior, he was not so sure. He could only glare at He Lizhou fiercely, covering the back of his neck and screaming "Ouch, ouch" in a low voice.
"Which dormitory are you from? Take me there, I want to write down your dormitory number!"
Despite such a big commotion, no one in the entire dormitory building came out to watch the fun, which was very inconsistent with the nature of a 17 or 18-year-old boy.
When He Lizhou was walking towards his dormitory with the dormitory manager, they saw a dormitory door opened and a head appeared. "Dorm manager, how are you? I have some ointment for bruises and injuries."
The person who came out was Sheng Ju.
He Lizhou and Sheng Ju's eyes met. Sheng Ju immediately noticed the redness and swelling on He Lizhou's arm. His eyes glanced at the electric baton worn by the security guard on his waist and turned cold.
The dormitory manager waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, go back to sleep!"
Sheng Ju knew that he couldn't force it at this time, so he obediently retracted his head and closed the dormitory door.
He Lizhou walked to the door of his dormitory. The dormitory manager pushed the door open and saw that there was indeed an empty bed. "He is not playing tricks."
The dormitory manager stepped out and took a look at the house number. "204, I remember it."
He Lizhou was about to act good in front of the dormitory manager when one of his roommates suddenly sat up and looked at him, but he was talking to the dormitory manager, "He Lizhou? You're back. Where's the friend you slept with just now?"
He Lizhou's face changed slightly. He turned to look at his roommate and saw that it was the short and fat roommate in the lower bunk. There was still a look of success on his face that he had not yet retracted.
The dormitory manager immediately grabbed He Lizhou by the collar and asked, "What friend? Did you bring someone back to the dormitory?"
How could He Lizhou admit it? He shook his head and pretended to be stupid. "I didn't. Did my roommate see it wrong? I remember the school rules. How could I make such an obvious mistake? I still want to get good grades in school and get into a good university."
The dormitory manager had a look of distrust on her face. She had already been suspicious about her sudden fainting, and now she distrusted every word He Lizhou said.
