Chapter 69 The Strange Man at the Door



Someone stopped at the door of Yin Zhu's house.

Viewers in the live stream who were still awake noticed this and their hearts were in their throats.

The dormitory has cement walls and ordinary wooden doors, and there are no windows that allow you to see outside. Otherwise, if a tall, dark figure appeared on the door, it would probably create an even more frightening atmosphere.

The footsteps stopped at the door and then there was no further movement.

Yin Zhu remained silent for a while, then suddenly asked Teacher Xiao in the next bed, "Teacher Xiao, are you asleep? I need to go to the bathroom."

"..."

Ms. Xiao, who was covering her head with the blanket, rolled her eyes when she heard this: "A dangerous monster is standing right at the door, and you still want to go out to the toilet? This new teacher doesn't seem to be very bright."

"Teacher Xiao? Teacher Xiao? Looks like she's asleep... Then I'll have to go by myself."

Yin Zhu has always been a very dedicated person.

It's no wonder the viewers in the comments guessed she was an amateur actress. Yin Zhu's performance was full of emotion and her movements were spot on. After leaning over to Teacher Xiao's bedside to ask a question and not receiving a response, she started getting dressed again.

The sound of fabric rubbing together began to fill the room.

Then, dressed neatly, Yin Zhu walked to the door in complete silence, accompanied by the sound of her footsteps, and pressed the doorknob.

Some timid viewers had already blindfolded themselves.

As for the bolder ones, they're still sending comments and making sarcastic remarks.

After pressing the doorknob, Yin Zhu had a look of sudden realization on her face: "Am I dreaming? I'm afraid I'll wet the bed if I go to the toilet in my dream. I'm not going anymore, I'm going back to bed."

...

"Is she sleepwalking?"

"No, look at her expression. She's making no attempt to hide it, knowing no one's watching."

"The mischievous kid Yin Basui is back online. Let's mourn for the monster for a second."

"As a human from Earth, I still feel quite satisfied to see monsters being tricked by the Chosen Ones. However, is it really okay for Yin Zhu to start playing pranks on people by selling swords every now and then?"

It is indeed still very important.

Those outside the door naturally heard Yin Zhu's voice as well.

Those inside voluntarily requested to come out, and those outside didn't want to object at all; in fact, they were very supportive. After all, due to the rules, if those inside the dormitory didn't come out, those outside couldn't come in either.

Next came the clear sound of clothes being put on, followed by footsteps, and finally the sound stopped at the doorway.

The sound of someone inside pressing the doorknob.

But the door didn't open.

The reason was the same as what the comments on the screen said at the time: "What are you afraid of? The door was already locked before going to bed. You need to unlock it first if you want to open the door. You can't open it by just pressing the doorknob."

"Yin Zhu is messing with the other party."

The person outside the door held great anticipation, waiting for the prey inside to unknowingly walk towards its death, especially when the doorknob was pressed, his excitement reached its peak.

At this moment, Yin Zhu revealed the ending of the prank: I didn't open the door.

She even delivered a string of "sleepwalking" lines, delivering a second blow to the monsters outside whose hopes had been dashed.

It's like a prankster who scoops a delicious bite of cream cake with a spoon, brings it to your lips, then suddenly puts it in their own mouth, saying, "You can't have it! It's so delicious!"

Suddenly, he felt an urge to strangle Yin Zhu.

The moment Yin Zhu walked back to the bed, the person outside, realizing he'd been tricked, started banging on Yin Zhu's dormitory door. The force was so great that everyone in the entire building noticed his anger.

Teacher Xiao had intended to stop Yin Zhu's actions, but Yin Zhu's actions were too fast. By the time she got up, all that was left was to stare at Yin Zhu.

Yin Zhu glanced at her, but this time she didn't say anything and went straight back to her bed.

I took off my coat and fell asleep the moment my head hit the bed.

As for the noise at the door? Unfortunately, Yin Zhu was too sleepy to care and quickly fell asleep.

After all, good sleep is essential to maintaining energy for the next day.

As for the prank he just impulsively decided on?

Anyway, Yin Zhu slept soundly, but I'm afraid some people won't be able to sleep tonight.

Teacher Xiao looked speechlessly at Yin Zhu, who was fast asleep, then at the dormitory door that was shaking violently. She took out her rules and silently recited the rules about harmony and love among colleagues several times to avoid having a sudden urge to kill this colleague in bed. Only then did she manage to fall back asleep despite the violent banging on the door.

The eerie black shadow appeared on the glasses placed on Teacher Xiao's bedside table, and after confirming that she did not make any unnecessary moves, it disappeared again.

Actually, Yin Zhu's pranks weren't entirely unfounded; it's just that her ideas were very simple.

You want to pass the level quickly, right?

Then let's muddy the water.

Trying to please everyone is too much trouble; it's better to anger everyone.

Sin City has rules, or it can have no rules.

The rules were created by Vice City merely to maintain a facade of peace. However, when people are angry enough, they often lose their rationality and act impulsively, at which point the rules are often disregarded.

Back on Earth, Yin Zhu had seen a news report that mentioned nearly 60 percent of crimes in the world are committed by impulse, with drunken assault accounting for 40 percent of those, because alcohol can weaken people's respect for the law.

In Sin City, buying alcohol isn't easy. Don't forget the supermarket from before; you even had to leave your finger if you wanted to buy something.

In comparison, it is obviously easier to provoke someone.

Therefore, after some thought, Yin Zhu chose the same strategy as in the "Green House" instance: first, provoke others to change the current stagnant situation, and then try to turn the situation into one that is favorable to him.

Finding someone is inconvenient, but it's much easier to provoke someone into attacking you. Besides, Sin City is full of vicious criminals; if they could tolerate Yin Zhu's various provocations, they probably wouldn't commit crimes so easily outside.

After all, truly high-IQ crimes are rare in this world; most are inhuman and deranged.

If Yin Zhu was previously imitating Hirano Sane, trying to plagiarize that kind of affability that everyone could praise, then from now on, Yin Zhu is simply revealing her true nature.

Vicious and domineering.

Moreover, Yin Zhu has one thing to rely on in this choice: the world of Rules of Strange Tales itself.

Having the courage to break the rules is difficult. Perhaps the city lord is a pioneer, but compared to others, most people ultimately choose to abide by the rules. Whether it's kindergarten rules, supermarket rules, temporary apartment rules... without sufficient power, ordinary people can only use the rules to protect themselves and will never even consider the possibility of breaking them.

As an unspeakable believer, Sheng Hui can disregard the rules; Yin Zhu, as a chosen one with golden talent, can argue with the rules word by word; the ordinary natives have nothing, so obeying the rules becomes their best option to survive in Sin City.

To put it simply, the rules are a shield.

When the destitute indigenous people are truly enraged and begin to want to break the rules, it's as if they've thrown away their shields. In that case, Yin Zhu can turn around and use the rules to protect herself.
