Is it a ghost?
The moment Kijima Suzuka heard those words, she sensed that something was wrong.
The next second, she heard someone sit up from the direction of the bunk opposite her, but for some reason, that roommate lay down again.
By the way, school rules say that you can't open the door after lights out.
It seems my roommate really wants to go see it...
Inspiration flashed through her mind like lightning, and Kijima Suzuka realized where the incongruity lay: the ghost world was full of ghosts and monsters, so there was no way any ghost would shout because her roommate was a ghost.
Therefore, the one shouting is likely not a native demon, but a native human who fell in from another world.
Thinking of this possibility, Kijima Suzuka turned over.
In this situation, there's even less reason to leave the house. The teachers and curriculum of this school are utterly unfriendly to humans. If someone ends up here, they're doomed. Even if she went out, she'd only be able to collect their corpse at most.
Moreover, Suzuka Kijima felt that she herself was not safe, so there was no need for her to help others.
If she can't save others and ends up getting herself killed, it's not worth it. If this person gets stuck in the ghost realm, it's their own bad luck. She has no obligation to save people.
Helping acquaintances is a favor, but helping strangers is considered saintly.
Kijima Suzuka inwardly scoffed at the idea that other countries might open the door to help the chosen ones, deciding to ignore the matter and continue lying down.
Having slept all afternoon, Suzuka Kijima was not very sleepy after being woken up, but she couldn't get out of bed to play, since there was nothing fun in the demon world anyway. So, after thinking it over, she decided to just lie there like a corpse on the bed.
However, the noise in the hallway was really too loud.
A hurried sound of footsteps grew closer, accompanied by a human scream: "Ghost! Don't come any closer! Don't chase me! I have a talisman!"
Finally, the sound stopped next door.
Then came the knocking from next door and cries for help from a human: "Please! Open the door! Help me! A monster is chasing me!"
Lying against the wall, Kijima Suzuka didn't hear any noise from next door.
Undoubtedly, the person in the next dorm room had no intention of opening the door for this person, and the person outside quickly realized this as well. After a five-second silence, they hurriedly knocked on the door of room 2013 again: "Please! Let me in! The ghost is chasing us!"
Tick-tock.
It's the sound of water droplets.
The direction came from the bed where someone had previously sat up.
Could it be that she's... drooling?
Kijima Suzuka was startled by her own guess. She began to imagine her beautiful roommate being moved by the human outside the door, and tears streaming down her face.
She realized that she had fallen into a big misconception.
Suzuka Kijima had previously assumed that the rule about not being allowed to open the door meant that her roommate's voice would be heard outside the door, begging the person inside to open it.
Such a test of humanity and kindness seems utterly ridiculous when applied to ghosts.
But the reality is exactly the opposite.
There was a huge, self-propelled humanoid rib outside the house, knocking on the door to lure the ghosts inside to open it!
These are rules specific to the Ghost Realm!
Everyone here is a demon or monster, full of anger and lacking empathy. They would never open the door for a stranger or ghost. But what if there was a living human bait outside the door?
Kijima Suzuka suddenly opened her eyes and saw that Touhou's hair was almost flying to the door. She shouted angrily, "Don't open the door! You can't eat the person outside! School rules say you can't open the door after lights out. Are you trying to kill us?"
Feiyuanji was slightly taken aback. The figure peeking through the crack in the door seemed to have given up on this room and moved on to the next dormitory.
"Please! Open the door! Help me! A monster is chasing me!" The almost identical plea for help, the almost identical tone, brought a sigh of relief to Kijima Suzuka.
Sure enough, this human who suddenly appeared in the ghost realm and made no attempt to hide his identity was very suspicious.
After the knocking stopped, Kijima Suzuka heard the door open. The dormitory door was opened by the student next door with a creak, followed by a real wailing sound:
"Ahhhh—"
"Three-eyed guy, you idiot!!"
"No! Let me go!"
The sounds of birds chirping were mixed in with the noise. Could it be that the neighbor was secretly keeping some pets? However, by then, they had all been caught by the monster disguised as a human outside the door.
Then, footsteps came from next door, as if someone was trying to escape while the monster was killing their roommates, running out of the dormitory building's perimeter. However, the school rules clearly stated that the dormitory building was already sealed off.
Then, screams came from the direction of the gate.
"Luckily the door wasn't open, thanks."
Feiyuanji was a little scared. It was the first time she had encountered such a thing. She never expected that it was a sting operation by the school.
Although she had never seen it before, Suzuka Kijima had reason to suspect that the "human" outside the door was probably the dormitory supervisor in disguise, specifically checking if any students were breaking school rules and opening doors for others without permission. If she checked tomorrow morning, the truth would be revealed.
After becoming the Chosen One, Suzuka Kijima was able to vaguely sense some aspects of the future, such as whether her judgments were correct.
I just don't know where this special ability comes from.
Kijima Suzuka's bed was next to another dorm room that hadn't been opened before, while the dorm room that had been opened was the one next to Hienhime's bed.
Through the wall, Hime could even hear something crunching in the next dormitory.
