Capítulo 794: Chapter 773: Multi-Party eting
The silent night envelops the campus path.
An elderly man with white hair, dressed in gentlemanly attire, follows behind a man with a hooded cloth bag over his head.
The two have just left the gymnasium,
During the days when Mr. Question Mark erged, he handled school administrative duties and student activity arrangents, and would engage in bodily sparring with Jia Wen at night, a skill he was not well-versed in.
He was doing his best to shore up his weaknesses, preparing to enter the Dungeon.
Since Luo Di had returned today, and Teacher Guo had been called away unexpectedly, delaying the eting to the next day, he planned to have a chat with Luo Di first.
His curiosity about the “Old Days” and the “Prison” had been fully piqued when he decrypted the La Walker Divine Form.
If he didn’t et him tonight, he feared he wouldn’t sleep at all.
Underneath the dormitory building.
The two of them entered through the main entrance as usual.
The dormitory manager intended to shout sternly at the sight of soone entering the dormitory in the middle of the night but was so scared when seeing the visitor outside that half his head began to spin.
He was well aware that although the school was founded by Teacher Guo, most of the affairs were currently supervised by this director of academic affairs.
In a daze, the entrance was already empty.
In front of Dormitory [720].
Mr. Question Mark knocked, yet no one ca to open the door.
His patience was limited, and judging by Luo Di’s current Perception, he should have been aware of their arrival without even having to knock.
Placing his palm on the door, it unlocked.
The bedroom light was on, but nothing was there, only a slight mist seeping from the bathroom door gap.
Mr. Question Mark quickened his steps and pushed open the door.
Only even more mist and residual warmth gushed out, the bathroom was similarly empty, and amidst the mist lingered two very discordant slls.
A refreshing floral fragrance filled the space, juxtaposed against a nauseating stench that seed to emanate from ancient tis.
Even the slightest remnant of it made Mr. Question Mark’s face, hidden beneath the mask, wrinkle in extre disgust, and he felt a bit nauseated.
One thing was certain, the two of them had bathed together here earlier, now they had suddenly disappeared.
“We ca from the gymnasium, and I am certain no one left the dormitory building. Has Luo Di learned so new way to hide himself?”
Mr. Question Mark extended his right hand, removing his glove.
The flesh and blood of his palm started to recession, slowly revealing a special question mark structure, with the bottom circle corresponding to a hole.
Using his palm as a guide, he reached out in all directions.
Finding no similar hole structure, it was confird that Luo Di did not utilize any passageway ability to hide or teleport away.
Just then,
Jia Wen unexpectedly discovered sothing; he hadn’t participated in the search but inadvertently glanced at the desk by the entrance.
Various teaching materials were piled atop it, and beneath them lay a thinly veiled book that seed easy to miss.
He pulled it out—
an inferior book with a pure white cover devoid of any text, resembling those pirated copies one might buy from a street vendor. Naturally, its contents were quite informal as well.
Flipping it open revealed comics inside.
The first page teed with sensational content. Despite being a bootlegged book, it featured astonishingly realistic renderings of misty bathroom scenes, with traces of warm steam seeping out.
Just as Mr. Question Mark was about to lean over to take a look,
a strange feeling of being watched suddenly erged from the side.
Mr. Question Mark’s gaze imdiately darted to the window, and though it was a brief mont, he had sharply captured a pitch-black eyeball climbing atop on tentacles, spying on the dormitory interior.
“Is this the eye Luo Di brought back? Sothing seems off…”
At the sa mont,
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A series of urgent knocks on the door interrupted their thoughts; Jia Wen instinctively closed the comic book.
He first thought Luo Di had co back, but then realized sothing was off.
Mr. Question Mark stepped forward, opened the door himself, and even raised his hand to signal Jia Wen to prepare for a possible fight, expecting an unwelcoming visitor.
The door opened.
A crimson shadow poured in.
Wu Wen stood at the doorway while a faceless person had already entered the room, standing behind Mr. Question Mark and Jia Wen.
Wu Wen feigned surprise, “Hmm? Mr. Question Mark, Teacher Jia, why are you here?”
“And you, Teacher Wu, why are you here?”
Wu Wen responded with a smile, “We… of course, we ca to find Luo Di. Didn’t he just co back from the Dungeon?”
“Jia Wen and I did the sa.”
“Have you found him?”
“Not yet, but I am sure Luo Di is in this room. However, why is the eye brought back from the Dungeon in your hand?”
“The eyeball ca to peek at the villa area and got caught by my brother, who found it suspicious, so we caught it. We ca over this late to check out what was happening, maybe Luo Di accidentally lost it.”
“I see?”
Mr. Question Mark could roughly guess Wu Wen and Mr. Qu’s intentions.
“What’s this book?”
Wu Wen already glimpsed the suspicious book on the desk, and when she stepped forward and opened it, the two-dinsional lines within spilled out, instantly filling the entire vicinity.
These lines rapidly replaced the dormitory, erased the colors, and turned into black and white.
Everyone was dragged into a comic space.
The target everyone had been searching for—Luo Di—was right here.
He sat alone on the windowsill, exposed to the moonlight, mulling over things with closed eyes and muttering words.
It seed there was a silver-white book floating in front of him, yet it seed like nothing was there.
As for the creator of the comic space, Hua Yuan, she had been overworked from continuous deadlines, currently lying on a separate bed resting, dressed in a very conservative bear pajama set.
Despite the intrusion of so many people, she did not wake, which showed how deeply she was sleeping.
Luo Di gently opened his eyes, returning from his reflections to reality.
“Why is everyone here? I will provide detailed intelligence on the Dungeon at tomorrow’s eting. Tonight, I’m in a very good state, presently integrating my experiences in the Dungeon under this special moonlight.
To avoid being interrupted, I specifically asked Hua Yuan to create this comic space.
Hua Yuan just returned from the comic shop, hasn’t slept for days, and can finally have a good rest tonight.”
“I realize now it’s my impatience; let’s discuss it further at tomorrow’s eting.”
Mr. Question Mark reached for the door, and even in the comic world, he could still make the other side of the door lead back to reality.
Mr. Qu, however, did not leave imdiately and instead observed around.
He sensed Luo Di’s bodily essence and Hua Yuan’s genuine sleepiness, nodding satisfactory.
Then he softly whispered in Wu Wen’s ear, now fully acknowledging Luo Di, and once more agree that Wu Wen can stay here tonight.
Flesh and blood flowed away, leaving only three inside the room.
With the greatest threat gone,
Wu Wen’s right eye loosened and separated on its own, rolling back into Luo Di’s embrace, transforming into an infant form.
Wu Wen, with a beaming smile, walked to the windowsill, softly leaning against Luo Di’s back, tenderly wrapping her refined hands around his neck, thin lips close to his ear, revealing a truly content smile.
“Luo Di, your mind is getting sharper~ this sche is really well-crafted.
Intentionally letting that Eye co over, coincidentally got caught by Brother, inadvertently revealing information. This allowed to justifiably bring Brother over to catch the act, further deepening his trust in you.
And just like that~ Brother now fully acknowledges you. Seems the Dungeon is indeed a great place; even your thinking has been honed greatly.”
“Ah… Hmm….”
In a position Wu Wen couldn’t see, Luo Di quickly evaporated the cold sweat.
Beneath the covers, Hua Yuan’s lips and tongue moved slightly. She was asleep alright, yet seemingly savoring sothing.
