57: Chapter 53 Women’s Dormitory 57: Chapter 53 Women’s Dormitory “The girls’ dormitory has always been strictly managed.
It’s said that if a boy breaks in, the minimum penalty is a warning,”
As Xiao Ying lowered her head and spoke halfway,
A rush of urging voices from inside the dormitory building interrupted her, “What’s your dorm room number?”.
Luo Di had already entered the dormitory lobby without considering the so-called offenses and even stood at the stairway entrance.
His tone of speaking also changed, sounding more like a command.
“0510, I’m coming with you!”
Xiao Ying hurriedly followed, glancing subconsciously at the dormitory manager’s rest room, which indeed had no one inside.
However, there are two aunts in total in the dormitory building who are usually responsible for light patrols and feeding the Horned Parrots on each floor.
It might be that the aunts had confirmed that all students had left the dormitory to attend an important physical test, and they took the opportunity to conduct a comprehensive light inspection of the entire building.
Luo Di was constantly watching the corner floor numbers on each level, fortunately, there were no duplicate floors and they successfully reached the fifth floor.
The visibility on this floor was low, at least half of the light bulbs were not working properly, which was enough to raise concerns.
Just as Xiao Ying was about to shout loudly at the corridor entrance,
Luo Di quickly covered her mouth and gestured her to keep silent, then walked towards the monitor’s dorm room with silent steps.
Xiao Ying immediately followed suit, mimicking him and maintaining absolute silence.
She also noticed that Luo Di was holding the knife with corner-like properties in his hand, although she wanted to say something, she still held back.
0510 was in the middle of the floor,
The door was slightly ajar, obviously someone had been in and out, and someone might be inside.
His palm gently touched the cold surface of the security door, exerting slight force to push the wooden door evenly.
Squeak~ the friction on the door hinge still made a noise.
Since the noise had already occurred,
Luo Di no longer hid his movements,
And with a burst of strength…
The security door heavily collided with the inner wall, and he rushed in instantly.
The dorm room’s lighting system was damaged and even the curtains were drawn.
The room only had the dim light spreading from the corridor.
Although dim, it was barely visible.
Luo Di’s gaze quickly scanned every corner of the dorm room, and he found no trace of anyone.
“How did the lights break?”
Xiao Ying also followed in, approached her bed, and discovered that her own bedside lamp was also destroyed by something.
Luo Di had already walked towards the windowsill, grabbed the curtains, and pulled down forcefully!
The whole curtain structure was forcefully damaged.
The numerous light sources that should have been present on campus didn’t cast the light as expected, and the light that spread was pitifully scarce, leaving the dorm room still dim.
Not because the dorm was blocked by something, ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel[f]ire.net
But because the whole school was amiss,
Luo Di’s facial features twisted together, his expression grave as he looked towards the sky.
The once beautiful starry sky and the bright white moon had now turned into a dark vortex, as if it wanted to engulf everything below into it.
A concept emerged in his mind,
A special concept marked in red font written at the back of a textbook.
Click~ a clicking sound with his tongue.
Although it had become a habit, Luo Di always made such a noise when focusing.
Yet, he put down his thoughts and vigilantly looked behind.
By the faint light coming through the window and with a good observation angle, Luo Di caught something he had failed to notice during the earlier check.
At the top of the doorway into the dorm room, at the corner hardest for light to reach,
A contorted creature was crouching there.
The creature had locked its target on Xiao Ying, who was below examining the beds.
Luo Di had never cooperated with Xiao Ying in actual combat, and now even if he shouted “Be careful,” he wasn’t sure if she could react in time.
Moreover, given the size of the dorm room space, even if she could react, escape would be difficult.
The mass of twisted beings had started to move,
Releasing its palms that could adhere to walls,
Just as its elongated arm was about to reach Xiao Ying’s head,
Something flew straight at it,
Spinning at high speed and carrying immense force,
The spinning sharp object accurately pierced into the body of the twisted being,
Not only that, the impact contained within it completed an aerial interception, carrying the opponent’s body slamming into the dormitory’s security door.
As the twisted being screamed, the intense pain from the Corpse Poison forced it to immediately remove the blade from its abdomen.
The sneak attack failed,
The being didn’t continue to attack; using its pair of hands and feet exceeding human structure, it quickly left the dormitory like a reptile.
Xiao Ying was completely stunned in front of her bed, she didn’t even realize something was behind her,
Her gaze only saw Luo Di standing at the windowsill, positioning himself in a standard throwing stance.
The next second, Luo Di rushed over at the highest speed, picked up the Zombie Blade from the ground, and rushed out of the room, trying to determine the direction of the escapee’s escape.
Strangely, the entire fifth floor was eerily quiet.
Despite having wounded the being, there wasn’t a single drop of blood left in the corridors, and no trace of its presence.
Xiao Ying also hurriedly followed out, observing her surroundings with a trembling voice, asking, “Was that… a Pseudo-Person?”
“What… what did that thing look like?” Xiao Ying’s head was already filled with a terrifying thought, she feared more that her guess was true than experiencing her first real encounter with a Pseudo-Person.
“Don’t worry, it wasn’t the class president.”
“The dormitory manager, it should be two dormitory managers.”
During the short battle, Luo Di had managed to clearly see the opponent’s appearance, which had certain similarities to the Spider Woman he had once encountered in the neighborhood, both possessing traits of “lurking and crawling.”
However, this Pseudo-Person was not one person, but two.
The bodies of the two dormitory aunties appeared as if they weren’t restricted by skeletons, their bodies twisted together like “twisting a rope,” even some of their skin and flesh had already merged.
Four hands and four feet, two heads dangling from their necks.
Xiao Ying still found it hard to believe, “The dorm managers seemed so nice usually, how could they suddenly turn into this?
Was it really a disguise?
Even if it was, how could two people transform into this together?”
“I don’t know, the whole school is very strange now.
Let’s first look for the class president, the dormitory manager’s reason for lurking in your dorm might also be in pursuit of the class president, who might have hidden elsewhere.”
The two of them were no longer concerned about the college entrance examination; with such an incident happening in the school, the examination was bound to be interrupted and postponed.
Their most important priority was to find the class president and to escape from this dormitory building as possible.
The entire fifth-floor corridor was ominously silent, with no clues where the class president might have gone.
However, according to the class president’s experience in handling anomalies and his capabilities, it was entirely possible he had already escaped alone, and might even be fleeing from the other side of the building while they were searching for the dorm.
While Luo Di was pondering, Xiao Ying suddenly realized something.
“That’s odd, the dorm corridor seems longer than before, are there two extra dorm rooms at the end?”
Just as Xiao Ying doubted whether her memory was mistaken due to nervousness, Luo Di had already walked towards the deeper part of the corridor and signaled her to quickly follow,
In Luo Di’s view, Xiao Ying wouldn’t make such a mistake.
At the end, the room numbers on either side were[0521]and[0522],
Xiao Ying immediately cleared the memory in her brain, “I wasn’t wrong!
There was only room 0520 at the very end before, these two must be extra… Is this due to a space extension caused by Corner-like Space?”
Luo Di reached out to open [0521], but behind the door was just a concrete wall embedded with steel bars, there was no dormitory.
Immediately followed by opening [0522].
What appeared in front of them was a staircase leading deeper down, the slope and depth of the staircase already exceeded the dormitory building’s own space dimensions.
Is this Corner-like Space?
Luo Di seems to have come to an even more terrifying conclusion in his heart.
Taking down a ceiling lamp from the dorm corridor to use as a makeshift flashlight,
Luo Di didn’t hesitate at all, he immediately stepped onto the staircase leading to an unknown region, and Li Xiaoying also resolutely followed, her right hand firmly gripping the claw knife.
