Open the door quickly...
The moment Cheng Zhu saw the door open, he heard a loud "bang" behind him.
"Don't look back."
It's Alice's voice again.
This gave Chengzhu time to quickly return to her bedroom and close the door.
She didn't pause for even half a second, and naturally didn't see that it was Alice herself who spoke the second time. Realizing that Cheng Zhu was in trouble, Alice stood at the door, not rushing out, patiently waiting for an opportunity.
Just as Alice had predicted, after going upstairs, Cheng Zhu went straight to her room, not wanting to move as slowly as a snail anymore. This led to the eyeless monster discovering her. Hearing Cheng Zhu pass by her door, Alice gripped the doorknob tightly and flung the door open as the monster reached it, causing the monster to crash into the door and become unable to pry it off.
If the eerie entity wants to operate in the virtual smart city, in addition to changing and adding rules that are detrimental to humans, it must also transform into a virus in the form of data, which can then be harmed by humans who are also data-driven.
This is the principle behind Cheng Zhu's ability to perform the bizarre over-the-shoulder throw on the librarian.
The humans in the smart city had experienced virus attacks before, but at that time, the strange creatures had not yet fully grasped the rules of artificial intelligence. In addition, artificial intelligence itself has a strong ability to self-evolve and fill loopholes, so it was able to prevent all the viruses from spreading.
This time, the Weird finally accumulated enough experience and launched a full-scale attack from various angles without any regard for martial ethics, completely rendering the Smart City's artificial intelligence powerless to reverse the situation.
The unpredictable can lose countless times, but artificial intelligence can only lose once.
After closing the door again with a blank expression, the three people in the bedroom heard almost frantic footsteps running repeatedly in the second-floor corridor, and even banging on the doors, making a deafening noise in every room.
As Alice watched the door vibrate with each knock, she blinked, her heart unmoved, and she even wanted to laugh.
Perhaps realizing that their actions were futile, the commotion outside the door gradually subsided and ended.
Alice rubbed the yellow mouse in her arms, occasionally pinching its chubby little face. She watched Mary and Chengzhu's forced rhyming words about the commotion outside the door on the forum, taking it all as amusement and adding a bit of fun to her life.
16. Students must not spend more than twelve hours in their bedrooms each day.
To ensure safety and avoid staying in the dormitory for too long, the three agreed to stay in the living room together after dinner until bedtime, before returning to their respective rooms to rest.
After all, if you accidentally cross the line and find something amiss in your bedroom and can't escape, you can consider hiding in the closet and asking the dorm supervisor for help, but don't make a sound until the supervisor finds you. That would cause them a lot of trouble, so it's best to avoid it if possible.
"Are there really strangers in the dorm?"
Perhaps because she was so bored in the living room, Mary had read the dormitory rules dozens of times and couldn't help but ask.
She was referring to Articles 18 and 20.
18. If you notice your roommate acting strangely, you can stay overnight in another empty dorm room after 8 PM.
[20. Water stains won't appear out of thin air if someone is in the bedroom, but please confirm that the person in the bedroom is someone you know; otherwise, refer to point 18.]
“Since the rules are written down, it means other dorms might have them. It’s best that we don’t, which means we’re lucky.” Cheng Zhu’s left ear was listening to the direction of the sounds in the game, while his right ear was reserved for Mary so as not to miss any important information they were saying.
Alice, without even looking up, continued her passionate online game with Cheng Zhu: "The rules state that there's a probability of it happening, but as everyone knows, even with a 99.9% probability, someone will still be the 0.1%. Are you really not going to play?"
"No! If the three of us are playing games, and something unexpected happens, I can just abandon the two of you and run away."
Mary glared at her two good-for-nothing roommates, especially Cheng Zhu. She felt that she had put in a lot of effort, only to end up with roommates who were so clueless that they not only became close friends with the mysterious Alice, but actually started hanging out together.
"Ah, I'm dead." Alice rubbed her ears, and while her game character was still resurrecting, she glanced at Mary:
Here's a piece of advice for you: when faced with bizarre rules, sometimes the less you know, the less danger you'll face.
Cheng Zhu's ears twitched slightly.
Alice, oblivious to her "comrade's" subtle movements, continued to remind Mary: "Do you remember the twelfth rule of the dormitory? Can you guess why water sometimes appears in the bedroom, and why ghosts sometimes appear?"
12. If water accumulates on the floor of a student's bedroom, please immediately go to the living room and avoid touching the water.
"Could it be that the virus melted away?"
Mary frowned, recalling the information she had just learned about the "virtual smart city," which had completely changed her worldview, yet she also seemed to think that her guess was somewhat credible.
Alice said with a half-smile, "The dangers on the second floor are poor eyesight and memory, and you can't enter a room when there are people around, unless you've been in the room for a long time and your aura becomes one with the environment... I've been resurrected, Christine, where are you?"
The game communication was seamlessly integrated afterwards.
Nothing more unexpected happened after that. The three of them returned to their respective rooms and prepared to get one last good night's sleep in this virtual world.
After confirming that there was no water in the room by the light from the hallway, Mary yawned, closed the door, climbed into her bedroom bed in the dark, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
