Chapter 8: Dormitory Civilization Code

     The moment they heard the voice of the call, all three in the dormitory opened their eyes wide, and even stopped breathing for a second:

    This was clearly Zhang You's voice!

    "Is there anyone? Can anyone hear me?"

    Zhang You's voice was a little low, rushing and fast, sounding very urgent.

 

    "There's." Tang Xinjue reacted, suppressing the series of questions that had almost blurted out.

    Zhang You was also stunned for a moment, and then ecstatically: "Xinjue? The phone really dialed to your side! Are you all in the dormitory now, how is the dormitory? My side... Hey, why don't you talk?"

    It was because she noticed that her roommates on the other side of the phone was too quiet, and Zhang You, who had always been attentive, immediately reacted: "My original name is Zhang Zhihui. In my first year, I went to the Public Security Bureau to change my name to Zhang You. In the second year, I transferred from the Finance Department to the foreign language major. In the third year, you to send the scumbag who cheated money off me to Africa as a volunteer for poverty alleviation. Later, his parents called and begged you to let him go... Are these enough to prove my identity? I am really Zhang You, alive."

    Tang Xinjue: "...Enough. I'm Tang Xinjue, where are you now? Are you safe?"

    "Now I'm in a phone booth next to a supermarket, surrounded by fog, and I can't find my way back to the dormitory. Time is tight, I can't say too much now... Oops, it's back!"

    "Who's back?"

    "It's the supermarket owner, I have to hurry up and hide," Zhang You said with fear in her voice, "At least after a few minutes, I can call you again, can you wait for me for fifteen minutes? You must wait for me!"

    A busy tone came from the phone, and the call was hung up.

    Although the time was short, Zhang You didn't have time to say anything, but knowing that the other party was still alive, the three people in the dormitory were somewhat relieved.

    Just a short call brought more mysteries, and they could only ask for answers after fifteen minutes. Tang Xinjue let go of her fingers which was holding the phone, and there was a circle of blue-white marks on it, leaving a cold and cool feeling.

    [Untouchable realm, health value -1]

    Because she was using ghost items?

    The three of them were concentrating on their work, and in about 13 to 14 minutes, they completely turned over their respective areas, and did not see any other strange things. They got together again and waited for Zhang You's call.

    Tang Xinjue was still studying Xiaohong's flip phone, but when she looked up, she saw two roommates squatting in front of her, seemingly hesitant to say anything.

    Tang Xinjue: "...Just say what you want to say."

    Guo Guo laughed dryly: "That, Zhang You's scumbag ex-boyfriend almost went to Africa to become a coalman, was it really you who did it?"

    Zheng Wanqing: "At that time, didn't they all say that he deceived a powerful ex-girlfriend and then was retaliated and had mental problems?"

    Tang Xinjue recalled: "Oh, that's what I made up to divert attention, his methods are too low to deceive the powerful."

    The other two: "..."

    "That is to say, the mastermind behind the scenes, ah no, is it really you?"

    Seeing the girl in front of her acquiesced, Guo Guo burst into tears: "God Jue, all I know is that you have secrets. I didn't know you are so ruthless. No wonder you dare to face up the ghosts. In the future, I, this younger brother, will live by hugging your thighs*!"

*hugging thigh: fawning/currying favor with someone powerful 

    Zheng Wanqing frowned, disapproving of Guo Guo's with milk is a mother* attitude: "Don't come here, Xinjue has been weak and sick since childhood, her thighs are not as thick as your arms. She must have done it because Zhang You was deceived by a scumbag before, and she had to do it. Don't always think of relying on others! Be self-reliant, you understand!"

*有奶就是娘, with milk is a mother: if anyone gives one milk, one will call the other person 'mother'. It is often used to satirize those who have no position and no dignity. When they see someone giving benefits, they just flatter them.

    Guo Guo rolled her eyes to the sky, and was about to retort, but she heard a vibration. The old flip phone in Tang Xinjue's hand rang out a harsh ringtone again.

    Zhang You's call arrived!

    "Hey, Xinjue, I only have five minutes of talking time now, so we have to keep it short. And for some reason, the sky seems to be getting dark very quickly."

    "Because the flow of time is different," Tang Xinjue replied. Then, she quickly stated to Zhang You the information she got in the dormitory, "...The task we got is to find what Xiaohong lost."

    Zhang You gasped slightly, and then quickly explained her situation:

    "Last night I heard someone calling my name and asked me to help, I got up and got out of bed involuntarily, and followed its sound. When I woke up, I was already outside, and I was holding a note in my hand."

    Over the phone, she read out the message on the note: "Fifty meters outside the Xuwu Supermarket, upside down alley, under the street lights, remind Xiaobai not to forget the appointment at night." She sighed, "This is the task that Xiaohong gave me, but I found myself here now, and I didn't find any upside-down alleys outside the supermarket. I may have to wait for the darkness and fog to clear up before I can see clearly.

    "I came to the phone booth and originally wanted to call you all. However, the phone booth indicates that it was not within the reachable area, and it would be automatically relayed to other nearby numbers..." Zhang You's voice trembled a little, "Fortunately, it was you who answered."

    If she took the risk and failed, she dared not imagine the consequences.

    "Furthermore, my health value will automatically drop after a period of time. It's already dropped by more than ten points now."

    Tang Xinjue understood Zhang You's fear. Night fell accompanied by ghosts and ghosts, but Zhang You had to face the terrifying environment and unknown dangers alone outside, which the roommates in the dormitory cannot share the fear with her.

    She could only make a guess based on the existing information: "It is written in the diary that Xiaohong has a boyfriend, it seems that it may be Xiaobai. Tonight Xiaohong will go on a date with Xiaobai, and before that, she will go back to the dormitory to come and find that [lost property]. Take this time to find that person to complete the task, and then hide. If you are really in danger, come to the phone booth to make a call."

    If they couldn't open the dormitory door during the day, it didn't necessarily mean they couldn't do it at night. She has the ability [Toilet Plunger Soldier]. She at least had more self-defense than Zhang You.

    Zhang You gave a heavy hum, "You must be careful too. Xiaohong is not a human being, they have natural malice towards us, and you must not analyze them with human thinking!"

    Five minutes later, the call was terminated again.

    The room was silent for a while. They were not only worried about Zhang You, but also worried about their own situation. It was Tang Xinjue who got up first, "The time here is three hours before eight o'clock in the evening, and there are only 15 minutes left in the real time. Let's hurry up and search the rest of the place."

    To save time, Tang Xinjue simply used temperature to determine whether there was a ghost item. The small dormitory was quickly searched, but nothing was found except the notebook on Guo Guo's desk and the mobile phone in Tang Xinjue's wardrobe.

    "Then the question is, is it the notebook or the mobile phone?"

    Seeing that the deadline was approaching, the three of them began to analyze the current two items.

    "How can you bring a notebook on a date? I think it's very likely to be a mobile phone." Guo Guo guessed.

    "Do you have to put only one? The rules don't say, just put them both and let Xiaohong choose!" Seeing that Tang Xinjue agreed with her idea, Zheng Wanqing scratched her head in a mess: "I want to ask the first, about the second question, where is [Xiaohong's desk]?"

    According to the test requirements, even if they found the correct item, it would be over if they couldn't find the correct location.

    Talking about this, Tang Xinjue's voice sank. She first looked at Guo Guo, who was silent, but her face became even paler.

    Knowing that Guo Guo had noticed something, Tang Xinjue sighed:

    "I think it's not so much where Xiaohong's desk is, but which is Xiaohong's desk."

    ——Obviously, there were only four desks in the bedroom, neither decreasing nor increasing. They could only choose a desk and put their items on it.

    "And the desk that was selected is [Xiaohong's desk]."

    However, if that desk now belonged to Xiaohong, what about its original owner?

    Zheng Wanqing couldn't understand the logic or what was to be feared, while Guo Guo was too sensitive to this fear. But it was too late to tell them in detail, Tang Xinjue could only directly infer the conclusion: "If you have to choose one, it must have some kind of judgment condition. The selected person must have some kind of characteristic related to Xiaohong." She paused, "This person is either me or Guo Guo."

    Guo Guo's crying interrupted her: "It's the health bar." She didn't know when the value had become [-20]. If she looked closely, most of them were mentally damaged and the san value was lowered. "I've started to hallucinate now, there are always voices in my ears, and I can still see black qi appearing on my desk."

    Guo Guo resisted the swirling tears and said as if she was dying: "Put things on my desk, that's the right location."

    After placing the things, Zheng Wanqing didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only say: "As long as we put the right things, we can directly clear the customs, and nothing will happen. When the test is over, our health bar will automatically recover like Xinjue..."

    The bedroom lights suddenly flashed, and then disappeared with Zheng Wanqing's voice, and the lights went out.

    ...

    Tang Xinjue opened her eyes. She was still lying on the bed, surrounded by thick darkness.

    The room was silent, and the other two should have regained consciousness, but no one spoke. After an unknown time, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the bedroom door, and then there was a creak.

    The door was pushed open.

    "My stuff...my stuff...have you put what I want on the table?" The voice of "Xiaohong" turned a few times at the entrance, and the tone was raised strangely: "Oh... I see you find the right place."

    Tang Xinjue could only see a slender shadow at the door that was almost taller than the door, and she stared at the shadow.

    Da da da.

    The sound of footsteps went straight to Guo Guo's bed number 1, and the shadow slowly bent over.

    "Hihi, thank you my dear roommate for helping me get it back... No, what is this?" The hoarse female voice suddenly became shrill, almost piercing one's eardrums: "You lie, this is not what I want!!"
