Chapter 80 I'm the counselor, please open the door.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"You can buy dried fish tomorrow morning."
"But Instructor Su specifically emphasized that we cannot leave the dormitory after 9 o'clock, which means that the night under the 'Blood Eye Moon' is extremely dangerous."
"If we go into the supermarket and trigger some rules that cause a delay, making it impossible to get back to the dorm before 9 o'clock, then it would be a huge loss!"
After hearing this, Wasim slapped his forehead:
"You're absolutely right! My mind was only focused on the dried fish. Brother Lin Feng, you've thought things through so well; I almost lost out because of a small thing!"
"Let's go, let's get back to the dorm!"
The five of them stepped into the gate of the boys' dormitory building.
The moment they stepped into the building, it was as if an invisible barrier had been broken through, and the oppressive feeling that had been weighing on their hearts seemed to lessen slightly.
They hurried up the stairs to the fourth-floor corridor. Lin Feng, Vassim, and Sato Ichiro turned to the left, while Alati, the chosen one from the Kingdom of Hot Springs, and Anton from the Kingdom of Er Mao went to the right side of the corridor.
Lin Feng pushed open the door to dormitory 404 and pressed the switch.
The moment the lights came on, the shadows in the room didn't disappear instantly, but rather, as if they had a life of their own, they receded silently, eventually curling up deep under the table between the upper and lower beds.
The three exchanged glances, each seeing the seriousness in the other's eyes—
The "thing" that killed Park Bo-sung last night is still there.
In silence, they picked up their toiletries and went to the public restroom together, washing up as quickly as possible before returning to their dormitory.
The door was locked with a "click".
Wasim walked to the desk, took the homework out of his bag, and handed it to Lin Feng somewhat embarrassedly:
"Brother Lin Feng, can you take a look and see if this is okay? I'm really not sure."
Lin Feng took the assignment and carefully flipped through it under the desk lamp.
The main points are basically complete, and the logic is barely coherent.
He nodded and handed the assignment back to Wasim:
"Although some parts are not very precise, it should be enough to get by."
"Great!" Wasim breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. "God, dealing with ten strong men would be easier than writing this stuff. I've lost so many brain cells today! I need to get some sleep!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his muscular arms, preparing to climb into bed—
"Thump, thump, thump."
Suddenly, three clear and gentle knocks rang out abruptly.
In an instant, the relaxed atmosphere in the dormitory vanished.
The three of them paused simultaneously, exchanging wary glances.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, stepped forward, and asked in a high-pitched voice:
"Who?"
Outside the door, a voice they absolutely did not want to hear, yet was all too familiar, rang out:
"It's me, your counselor, Su Wan."
Lin Feng's heart sank. It was already 21:13 PM!
The fourth rule of the dormitory clearly came to mind:
[Advisor Su Wan will only patrol the dormitories from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. If she appears at the dormitory door after 9:00 PM, do not open the door or respond in any way, no matter what she says.]
The crimson moon hung high outside the window, its eerie red light seemingly peering through the gaps in the curtains, observing everything inside.
"Knock knock knock—"
The knocking became more urgent.
"Sato Ichiro," Su Wan called out the name accurately from outside the door, "Open the door quickly! I detected abnormal energy fluctuations on your floor during my patrol and need to come in to check and ensure your safety!"
Sato Ichiro, who was directly named, trembled violently and immediately looked to Lin Feng for help.
He opened his mouth, silently mouthing, "Lin Jun...?"
Wasim also looked nervously at Lin Feng, his fists clenching silently.
Lin Feng frowned slightly, then asked a seemingly insignificant question:
"Advisor," he began, "do you remember what I ate tonight?"
The real Su Wan had dinner with him in the teachers' cafeteria and knew everything about his meals.
If the thing outside the door is a fake, it shouldn't know such temporary and specific details.
Outside the door, after a brief pause, Su Wan's voice rang out again, her tone noticeably colder and harder:
"Lin Feng! I don't have time to talk to you about these trivial things right now!"
"Open the door right now! That's an order!"
"Energy fluctuations are spreading towards your dormitory! Opening the door is your last chance to be safe, hurry!"
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.
The thing outside the door avoided addressing the key questions I had raised, instead resorting to threats to exert pressure.
This clumsy trick is like revealing the true colors of a cunning scheme, proving that it simply cannot answer the question!
Given this, the solution is quite clear: ignore it.
He felt a sense of relief and turned around, preparing to climb into bed...
"Ring ring—!"
The old-fashioned landline phone in the dormitory suddenly rang without warning!
Lin Feng's brows furrowed instantly.
Who would make a landline call at this hour?
He took a deep breath, walked a few steps to the table, and picked up the receiver.
"Feed?"
"Lin Feng! It's me, Alati!" A voice came through the receiver, a mix of anxiety and relief.
"Listen, Instructor Su just came to our room 414!"
"She said there was an energy leak in the building, which was very dangerous, and she personally drew silver protective talismans on our dormitory doors and windows, saying it would ensure our safety!"
"I just wanted to remind you all quickly, if your advisor comes to your dorm later, you absolutely must open the door and cooperate! This really concerns your safety!"
Lin Feng's brows furrowed even deeper.
Why did Alati suddenly become so kind?
The night before, when Thomas in their dorm turned into a snail, Alati didn't call to warn them.
But now you've suddenly changed your mind?
Moreover, the call came at just the right time, precisely when the "advisor" knocked on their door...
This is too much of a coincidence.
The fact that "Su Wan" outside the door could not answer questions about dinner has exposed her true nature as a "fake".
If the counselor can be fake, then why can't this phone call from "Alati" be fake too?
The rules only state that landlines are "security tools," but they don't say that they will necessarily transmit the correct information.
Having figured this out, Lin Feng's brow slowly relaxed. He ignored "Alati's" rambling "persuasion" on the other end of the phone and spoke directly into the receiver in a completely calm tone:
"Okay, thank you."
Then, without waiting for a response, he hung up the phone decisively.
Without further hesitation, he turned off the light and climbed into bed.
A suffocating silence fell over both the inside and outside of the door.
One second... two seconds... ten seconds...
After an unknown amount of time, a sound finally came from outside the door.
"Tap...tap...tap..."
The footsteps were extremely light, carrying a hint of reluctance, and gradually faded into the distance...
