At this moment, at the door of Room 205.

Xu Turan maintained her door-opening posture, silently looking at the dormitory auntie standing at the door.

…Or rather, the thing that had the same face as the “dormitory auntie.”

That thing was very tall, its forehead almost touching the doorframe, its body severely hunched, both hands hanging straight down, almost touching the ground, one hand holding a pen, the other a small booklet.

It looked down at Xu Turan, its eyes empty, its mouth stretched into an exaggerated semicircular arc.

“Come with me.”

Xu Turan heard its voice in her mind. However, she was certain that the thing opposite her hadn’t actually opened its mouth—or rather, it hadn’t made any sound in the physical sense.

This was an order directed solely at Xu Turan.

Xu Turan’s head swayed, and a familiar dizziness hit her. She immediately slapped herself reflexively. When she looked down again, she found that her right foot was almost stepping out of the dormitory room.

“Come with me,” the “dormitory auntie” standing outside repeated impassively, “Come with me. Daddy.”

Xu Turan: “…”

Kid, although you look quite calm, the “Courting Death Value increased by 40” sound echoing in my mind has already betrayed you.

She scrutinized the monster in front of her again, her mind timely recalling the “dormitory regulations” part she had flipped through in the school rules booklet earlier. Her eyes shifted slightly, and she nodded.

“Alright, but wait a moment, I didn’t bring my key. I need to get it first.”

“…” The dormitory auntie outside obviously fell silent for a moment, then the stiff voice sounded again, “One minute.”

“I know.” Xu Turan gave it a deep look, turned back into the room, but instead of hurrying to get her dormitory key, she first picked up the backpack on the chair, then went to Fang Xing’s desk.

“Fang Xing, I know you’re awake,” she said calmly. “I’m taking that bottle of mineral water on your desk, okay?”

“…” Fang Xing, lying on the bed, couldn’t speak, so she just lightly tapped on the bed frame to indicate she had heard.

Xu Turan said thanks, took the water in her hand, and wandered around the dormitory, deliberately dragging out the time until the one minute was almost up. Only then did she finally pick up the key on the table under the cold gaze of the monster at the door: “Okay, let’s go.”

The “dormitory auntie” gave her a cold look, didn’t respond, just turned and left.

Xu Turan put the key in her pocket, wore the backpack on her front, and silently followed behind.

Slow footsteps echoed in the corridor again, but this time, there were two sets of footsteps reverberating.

In the nearby rooms, countless people silently buried their heads in their pillows, their chests filled with similar relief, fear, and melancholy.

—Many of them had heard similar sounds more than once. And each time these sounds appeared, it meant the permanent disappearance of a student.

A bone-chilling cold spread through the dormitory building. As the person involved, Xu Turan didn’t feel much. She just leisurely followed behind the monster, inconspicuously reaching into her backpack, tearing open the silver-colored paper wrapped inside, and then raising the mineral water bottle in her hand.

The monster ahead didn’t look back. Xu Turan unscrewed the bottle cap as lightly as possible, her mind quickly going through the dormitory regulations again.

Although due to time constraints, she couldn’t read all the rules, she had deliberately paid attention to the last few.

—【12. Residents must carry their dormitory key at all times. If you don’t have your dormitory key with you when receiving orders from the dormitory supervisor, you have the right to immediately apply to retrieve your key. The execution of the order will be automatically postponed. [Fine print: Theoretically, the dormitory supervisor cannot refuse your application. However, due to the previously granted high authority to the supervisor, this may not buy much time. In any case, please make good use of it.]】

—【13. Unless a student has seriously violated school rules, the dormitory supervisor is strictly prohibited from entering student rooms without permission. [Fine print: This rule only applies to the dormitory supervisor personally. It cannot restrain other members of the dormitory management committee. Please always pay attention to the overlapping status of dormitory committee members and confirm the attributes of your floor manager.]】

—【14. The dormitory supervisor cannot leave the dormitory office for more than 15 minutes.】

…Hmm, 15 minutes.

Seeing that she and the monster had already walked out of the dormitory corridor and started descending the stairs, Xu Turan slightly pursed her lips and completely unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle in her hand.

Counting the time it took for the other party to knock on the door earlier, there should be about ten minutes left now… which means, as long as she drags it out for this period, the other party will definitely rush back to the dormitory office…

—For herself, this shouldn’t be a problem.

Xu Turan thought silently, flicked her wrist, and suddenly splashed a bottle of water forward.

Meanwhile.

Inside Room 205.

Fang Xing lay on the bed with her eyes wide open, her heart still pounding, unable to calm down for a long time.

She didn’t understand why Xu Turan had opened the door so casually, and why she had followed it out—in fact, she hadn’t heard the thing outside say anything at all, only Xu Turan herself seemed to have muttered a few words to herself before taking her things and leaving.

From beginning to end, her tone had been very calm, as if what was outside the door wasn’t some terrifying thing, but a parent coming to pick her up…

Well, although judging from the terms of address, she should be the one acting as the parent.

It has to be said that Xu Turan’s attitude had indeed given Fang Xing a kind of inexplicable sense of reassurance. However, with her departure, Fang Xing still involuntarily fell into familiar anxiety.

After all, not long ago, her other roommate had disappeared forever in the same way.

Plus, given Xu Turan’s identity… this made Fang Xing’s mood even more complicated. She stared blankly at the ceiling in front of her, unable to fall asleep no matter what. After who knows how long, she suddenly almost jumped out of bed.

She heard footsteps again—coming from the other end of the corridor, slow, not heavy, somewhat dragging. Walking all the way to the front of her room.

Then, a key inserted into the lock. The door lock turned. Someone pushed the door open.

Fang Xing’s heart instantly jumped to her throat, and she instinctively wanted to get up. The person entering the room hurriedly spoke:

“Hey hey hey, no need, no need, don’t move. I can manage. You just sleep.”

As she spoke, she closed the door, fumbled her way to the desk in the dark, put down her things, and started rummaging in her bag. Fang Xing could barely control her excited mood, then frowned again.

She smelled a faint scent of blood.
