“why Are You Slurring Your Words?”
An abandoned Dormitory Building.
Brother Shanji and Li Bin briefly scanned their surroundings, their brows furrowed slightly.
Dust covered everything, and a faint, foul smell of decay hung in the air.
The lights in the hallway flickered with a sizzling sound, giving an uncomfortable feeling.
Li Bin started to feel nervous.
Thankfully, Brother Shanji volunteered to tackle this dungeon together; his current level of nervousness was still manageable.
If he had come alone, even if Master Hao had given him some Items with powerful Effects, he would have been scared stiff, unable to move.
Saying he would end himself before was when he was at his bravest.
Li Bin glanced at the time on his Wristwatch:
【20:12:39】.
It seemed there was still a considerable time before Midnight.
He cheered himself up:
It’s not time for the dungeon to open yet, don’t worry!
The Weirdness only appears after the dungeon opens!
Brother Shanji, frowning, looked around the surroundings for a few moments, shaking his head and clicking his tongue: “I have to say, this place is a really scary place…”
As he spoke, he tightened his hold on his 【Storage Ball】.
“Before the dungeon opens, let’s explore this Dormitory Building first and get familiar with the terrain.”
“Otherwise, when the Weirdness appears, we won’t know where to run.”
“Okay…Okay.”
Li Bin replied, his voice trembling.
Brother Shanji turned to Li Bin, amused by his frightened expression. His previously furrowed brow smoothed out.
“Why are you speaking so hesitantly?”
“You’re like this before the dungeon even opens; when it does, and you meet the Weirdness, are you going to pee your pants?”
“Bro…Brother Ji, this is my first time entering a dungeon.”
“Although I’ve studied the theory, if I actually encounter it, I still can’t help but feel Fear…”
“Really, you’re a local.”
Brother Shanji shook his head and shrugged. “Alright then.”
“While we still have time, let’s clear out the dangerous things in this Dormitory Building, like the Iron Blades.”
“To prevent the Weirdness from using these things against us when it appears.”
“Let’s reduce the danger factor in advance.”
“That’s useless, Brother Ji…”
Li Bin subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
“No matter what you do here, everything will return to its original state after the dungeon officially opens.”
“Oh…I see.”
Brother Shanji felt a little regretful; the dungeon was quite particular.
“But it doesn’t matter, even if it resets, how about this, my 【Storage Ball】 companions are not scared at all!”
“Let’s explore this Dormitory Building first then.”
“Okay, Brother Ji…”
…
Next.
The two carefully explored the seven-story Dormitory Building.
First, the First Floor.
The dormitory doors on the First Floor seemed to have been forcibly removed, and the first thing that caught their eye upon entering was two staircases.
They were currently at the entrance of the staircases.
Student dormitories were on both sides of the stairs. Brother Shanji took Li Bin to the dormitories on the left to explore.
Entering the first dormitory nearby and opening the door, a musty smell immediately hit their noses.
The lights on the dormitory ceiling were on, but like those in the hallway, they flickered with a sizzling sound.
The room was messy, covered in dust.
The clothes had been removed, leaving only the beds.
The beds were bunk beds, a total of 4.
That made it an 8-person dormitory.
Brother Shanji quickly scanned the room and found nothing unusual.
Li Bin was carefully searching for small details when he suddenly found some hair under one of the bunk beds.
The hair was long and not easy to see.
Li Bin’s heart immediately leaped into his throat. He quickly approached Brother Shanji, patted his shoulder, and said nervously in a low voice:
“Brother Ji, there’s some hair under the bed!”
Brother Shanji raised an eyebrow and looked in the direction Li Bin pointed.
Indeed, under the bottom bunk of the last bed, there was some hair extending out.
Brother Shanji’s expression immediately turned serious.
He took out two 【Storage Balls】 from his pocket, his thumb resting on the Button of the 【Storage Ball】, ready to press at any moment.
He glanced at the time on Li Bin’s Wristwatch, confirming that it was not yet Midnight, and then boldly approached the bunk bed, crouching down to check.
After checking,
he didn’t find anything weird.
The only strange things were the long hair and several noticeable Scratches on the wall under the bed.
Brother Shanji stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes.
“There’s nothing under there, let’s check the Toilet.”
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the dormitory’s Toilet.
Li Bin swallowed.
“Okay…okay.”
Creak——!
Brother Shanji pushed open the Toilet door.
Li Bin had instinctively hidden behind Brother Shanji.
Brother Shanji quickly scanned the Toilet, then his gaze fell on the Mine Entrance that had been blocked by all sorts of messy things.
A terribly foul smell faintly emanated from inside…
And there were more Scratches similar to those under the bed on the walls of the Toilet.
…
After a short stay, they left the dormitory.
Their purpose was still to familiarize themselves with the terrain.
As for the strange places, they would just keep it in mind.
The Dormitory Building had seven floors. Unless there was a major discovery, there was no need to stay in one place for too long and waste time.
…
In this way, they went to three or four dormitories.
They were basically empty.
Each dormitory had a separate Toilet.
These dormitories had one thing in common: scratches on the walls, and scattered Long Hair could be seen in some random places.
……
After exploring all the dormitories on the First Floor.
Next, was the Public Toilet at the end of the First Floor hallway. They were heading there now.
Brother Shanji stood solemnly at the entrance of the Public Toilet at the end of the hallway, looking at the Toilet door swaying in the flickering light without any wind, constantly creaking.
He clicked his tongue and sighed: “I don’t know why, but Public Toilets are always high-risk areas.”
Then he stepped in first.
Li Bin swallowed and quickly followed.
The Public Toilet had eight stalls.
They carefully checked every corner of each stall.
They found that it wasn’t much different from the indoor Toilets just now; the only difference was that the amount of Long Hair and Scratches had increased.
“…”
Brother Shanji looked around expressionlessly once more, and softly said: “Let’s go, let’s check upstairs.”
