Chapter 543: Chapter 244 Dorm Night_2

"Something crawled in from over there and then opened the bathroom door... The thing in the bathroom seemed to be dripping all over, dripping and ticking, and it was really annoying to listen to."

"That thing was all wet, and there might have been some sort of mucus on it because the dormitory was upside down at the time. So, when it came out of the bathroom, it tripped over the top of the door and fell. When it fell, I heard a ’slurping’ sound..."

"Then they just wandered around the dormitory, not knowing what they wanted to do or were doing..."

"Later, Old Lin woke up..."

"Old Lin woke up around 1:30. After he woke up, a mass approached him. I don’t know what happened, but I could feel they were there, so I pretended to turn over and used a pillow to smack that thing away."

Lin Yi nodded slightly. That experience lasting nearly an hour was not exactly terrifying, but it was too torturous and agonizing.

"Then the Dormitory Supervisor came... All I know is that he brought an old kerosene lamp, and before leaving, he went to close the windows and the bathroom door again."

"After the Dormitory Supervisor left, the dormitory was very calm, nothing happened, and when Yin Bi woke up, I went to sleep."

Kuai Hongji continued, "I woke up at 2:30. After I woke up, I coughed a few times and then started the ’shift change’."

"I didn’t realize the dormitory had flipped, but I could feel that the atmosphere in the dormitory was very oppressive..."

"How should I describe this feeling, it’s like being pushed headfirst into the depths of the sea..."

"A feeling of suffocation?" Lin Yi murmured.

"Not suffocation, but oppression and blockage, an indescribable pressure squeezing in from all directions... The surrounding environment was getting quieter, but the sounds outside the windows and doors were getting stronger."

"Right, it should be like the feeling in a diving bell."

"The storm outside kept hammering at the windows, the windows made unbearable squeezing noises due to the pressure, but they didn’t shatter. Continuous friction sounds came from outside the door, not knowing what was shuttling in the corridor and then brushing past the door."

"Brushing past the door...?" Lin Yi was somewhat surprised, "Could it be something like a Nightwalker crowd? But that can’t be right... Wasn’t there a Dormitory Supervisor checking the rooms?"

"Strange..."

With some doubts, he continued listening.

Kuai Hongji went on, "I just lay in bed, and these sounds kept going, nothing unusual happened in between, around 5:00, I heard some noise coming from Young Master Tian, and I went back to sleep."

Tian Bufan continued, "Yes, it was me."

"I woke up at 5:00. After I woke up, I coughed a few times, which was our signal to change shifts."

"After I woke up, the dormitory had become calm again. 5:00 is actually a relatively safe time, but I didn’t relax..."

Lin Yi nodded slightly.

After 4:30, it was about the time when Nightwalkers and Pseudo-Humans began withdrawing from the classrooms... and the dormitory area was probably the same.

Saying 5:00 was relatively safe wasn’t an exaggeration.

"I don’t have Wei Sang’s habits, but still, I vaguely felt something, but it wasn’t until Wei Sang mentioned it that I realized that the dormitory beds had returned to their original state."

"After that, there were no problems, and then by 6:00, I was awake."

"Uh... Is that all?" Lin Yi was taken aback.

"Otherwise?" Tian Bufan retorted, "We were just sleeping, not like you dreaming, where one sleep can experience far beyond reality."

"Alright..."

As they talked, they entered the School Building Area.

After observing a bit, Lin Yi couldn’t help but express his concern, "Quite a few street lights along the way seem to be missing their numbers..."

Tian Bufan pondered, "The numbering of the street lights is supplemented by the Pocket Chef. Looking at it this way... there really is a big problem with the cafeteria!"

"It must be closely related to the ’Grey Mist Invasion’, but I just don’t know how the streetlights’ condition correlates with the grey mist’s invasion of the school area, or how much the damage to the streetlights affects the safety of the school area..."

Lin Yi furrowed his brows, "Will it affect our return to the dormitory building?"

"I’m worried about that too," Tian Bufan said.

"If we can’t return to the dorm, we could only stay overnight in a classroom or go to the gymnasium."

"The classrooms are no longer sufficient to provide us with enough safety at night."

"As for the gymnasium... there’s a sports class this afternoon, we can take the opportunity to observe the gymnasium."

"Besides, didn’t Class Teacher-039 tell you before that the gymnasium can serve as a shelter when necessary?"

Reminded by Tian Bufan, Lin Yi also recalled the situation at that time.

["I can only say... for you, there’s no difference between the Dormitory Supervisor’s office and the classrooms under abnormal weather."

"If you encounter abnormal weather, go to the gymnasium while you can still make out the directions."

"The gymnasium is open 24 hours. Just explain your situation to the Sports Student with your student ID card, and it can serve as a shelter if necessary."

"In short, apart from normal conditions, if you find that visibility is so low that you can’t see the buildings in the distance, don’t try to return to the classrooms."]

For some reason, these words appeared very clearly in Lin Yi’s mind at that moment, and he even remembered the serious tone of Class Teacher-039.

"So... how do we decide whether to go to the dormitory or the gymnasium?" Lin Yi raised the question.

If one goes back to the dormitory and the other heads to the gymnasium, wouldn’t they miss the best opportunity to meet at night? Wouldn’t that mean losing the best opportunity for discussion?

Besides, the dormitory is the only place mentioned in the rules where you can sleep. Going to the gymnasium... who knows what would happen.

"We only have one hour for sports class, I feel like there’s no chance to explore the gymnasium," Lin Yi murmured softly.

"Still exploring?" Wei Liang, who had put down his hands from his ears, heard this and couldn’t help but sneer, "Once you enter the gymnasium, boss will definitely drag you to wash... I mean, to swim, what else is there to explore?"

Lin Yi’s mouth twitched slightly.

Tian Bufan then said, "The matter of the gymnasium... needs more long-term planning, we’ll talk about it when we get the chance."

"What I’m worried about is the role the gymnasium played under the Grey Mist Invasion, and whether it might encounter problems like the cafeteria did," Lin Yi said, his mind shivering slightly as the image of the boss flashed through his mind, coupled with some worries: "The gymnasium... the boss... "

He thought about how the gymnasium’s rules specifically mentioned the concept of ’Angel Sculpture’, and indeed, it was the only rulebook among all that mentioned the Angel Sculpture.

What does this imply?

Ordinary Experience Students might encounter an Angel Sculpture too!

And, the Angel Sculpture enters the gymnasium during sports classes!

"The interior of the gymnasium is the safest place within the school area, welcome to your visit"

So conflicting...

Having experienced the threat of the Sneering Angel, Lin Yi didn’t believe that the Angel Sculptures appearing inside the gymnasium would be any good; they were more likely to be ’Rage Angels’.

Uncertain, so uncertain... Lin Yi scratched his head, feeling like he might pull out a few strands of hair if he thought about it any longer.

As the group rounded a mountain path corner, the Teaching Building appeared in their sight.

At that moment, Tian Bufan suddenly spoke, "Oh, there is one more thing."
