4. Each dormitory has a single toilet located at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor. When the doorknob is red, the toilet is in a dangerous situation; when the doorknob is blue, the toilet is safe. Students are requested to use the toilet in an orderly manner and avoid conflict.
5. If you hear running water in the bathroom, please quickly return to your room on the second floor, lock the door, and notify the dormitory manager to come and repair the bathroom's water pipes.
6. If you see anything in the dormitory's common areas that doesn't belong there, please pretend you didn't see it. If a strange creature appears in that scene and tries to attack you, please believe that it poses no threat to you and minimize your fear; this might save your life.
7. Dormitory supervisors will not knock on doors or conduct room checks. Your dormitory's AI system will automatically record your status and report it to the school. If someone claiming to be a dormitory supervisor requests entry into your room, please refuse them.
8. The dormitory is monitored by the dormitory building's AI. When someone is in the five public areas of the kitchen, dining room, living room, entrance hall, and bathroom, the lights in that area will automatically turn on; when everyone leaves the room, the lights will automatically turn off.
If you notice the lights are on in a common area but no one is there, quickly duck down, keep your eyes fixed on the ground, and slowly move back to your room on the second floor.
9. The dormitory rooms are made of soundproof materials, so no sound from the walls will travel to other rooms.
10. Each room in the dormitory is suspended in mid-air, and there is no place to stand outside the window. If you hear any knocking sounds outside the window, please do not approach the window with the curtains drawn and do not have any unnecessary curiosity.
If you accidentally open the curtains after the knocking stops, please close your eyes, do not look at anything outside the window, and let the dormitory AI automatically close the curtains again.
11. The dormitories will be managed by a dormitory AI, a low-level artificial intelligence assistant that will proactively scan and clean the dormitories. However, the dormitory AI will only execute commands issued by humans and will not act without permission.
12. If water accumulates on the floor of a student's bedroom, please immediately go to the living room and avoid touching the water.
13. Each dormitory has exactly two floors. If you see a staircase leading to a third floor or basement, please ignore it; otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences.
14. Please trust the dormitory manager; they will do their best to help you.
After reviewing all the rules, Mary immediately summoned her artificial intelligence: "Angela, contact the administrators of the North Campus of Slote High School for me. I need to confirm whether these rules came from the school."
“Mary, Angela has confirmed that the North Campus AI says the new rules are to protect the students.”
A distinct, unfamiliar voice rang out in the air, crisp and indifferent, like the sound of snow emanating from a mountaintop.
Why?
Cheng Zhu was slightly taken aback, never expecting to hear this.
Could that be... Angela's voice? Before Cheng Zhu could even ask, Alice frowned and preemptively asked, "Mary, is your AI set up for public display?"
"How could that be? That's so impolite!"
After answering with surprise, Mary instantly understood Alice's question: "You heard Angela's voice?"
“I heard that too,” Cheng Zhu quickly added.
Now, Mary's face turned the worst. She subconsciously started biting her nails: "The change in school rules means that the mainframe thinks the pollution may threaten the students, so it quickly formulated new rules; Angela's voice being made public means that the mainframe of the campus network has been damaged to some extent... So, judging from the rules, the virus is likely to break through the intelligent protection barrier and project dangerous projections into the dormitories to interfere with our judgment."
Cheng Zhu wasn't a professional in this field, but fortunately Mary's words were easy to understand, and he managed to grasp most of it.
"Is it possible... that the rules were changed by a virus?" Thinking about the possibility of a virus infiltrating the system, Cheng Zhu felt that the rules were not credible. Even if they were to suddenly increase, the speed was too fast.
The previous choice...
Cheng Zhu suddenly recalled the strange expression of the higher-dimensional being and reminded himself that he was the second chosen one in the "Normal Future" instance.
Could it be that viral contamination will occur faster and faster with each subsequent occurrence of the Chosen One?
The first Chosen One encountered the virus outbreak on the third day, while Cheng Zhu encountered it on the second day. As for the third one... ptooey, she hasn't lived enough yet, there is no third one. Cheng Zhu can clear the game all by herself!
“It couldn’t have been modified by a virus, otherwise wouldn’t we be unable to trust anything?” Alice shook her head, rejecting Chengzhi’s guess: “You have to trust the mainframe a little more. Slot High School is the most famous high school in Smart City. How could it be defeated by a virus in an instant? Besides, one of the fundamental laws of artificial intelligence is that it will not harm humans. It certainly won’t harm us.”
"Speaking of that, I think the content of this rule is more dangerous."
Mary pointed to the fifth and twelfth rules, both angry and amused, and said, "If the toilet is flooded, we have to hide in the bedroom; if the bedroom is flooded, we have to hide in the living room. What if both the toilet and the bedroom are flooded at the same time? Do we run out of the dormitory?"
“Yes, it would be too unfair to have all of these things together at once.” Alice nodded emphatically.
Cheng Zhu scratched her head, feeling that her two roommates were too strong. There was nothing left for her to do at this point. She could just lie back and wait for the big shots to carry her... Is this the kind of roommates a good student can get?
