After Yang Yang left, Yan Junze neatly arranged the shoes he had brought and placed them all in his assigned section of the wardrobe and shoe cabinet.
The dormitory buildings at Tianng Science University were decorated in a simple and functional manner. In Yan Junze’s view, they were much better than the dorms he had lived in during his previous life, almost on par with an apartnt.
Once he had finished tidying up, he picked up his newly issued thermos flask, ready to go to the water room to fill it with hot water, but as soon as he stepped out into the corridor, he saw Yang Yang suddenly returning.
"Senior, did you forget sothing in my dorm?" Yan Junze asked.
"No, there’s sothing I forgot to tell you." Yang Yang had just climbed up to the fourth floor and was sowhat out of breath, "Under my care, you can now be considered a provisional mber of the Strange Club. Although you haven’t passed the final test, I still need to remind you of sothing."
"Hmm, remind about what?" Yan Junze was curious.
"Be careful if you ever have the chance to go to the No. 4 laboratory building of the college," Yang Yang said with a slightly mysterious air.
"Why? Is there sothing strange going on?" asked Yan Junze.
"You can’t really say that," Yang Yang shook his head. "If you co across any lab door that is slightly ajar in that building, either leave quickly or go imdiately to close the door fully, or just open it all the way."
"Why?" Yan Junze was even more puzzled.
"Because if you ignore that slightly open door, after so ti, a person will appear standing behind the gap of the ajar door, spying on you," Yang Yang explained.
"Damn, isn’t that weird?" Yan Junze stared at him.
Yang Yang shrugged, "That person just stands behind the gap of the ajar door and spies, without doing anything else. And once it gets to that point, no one dares to push the ajar door open to see who it really is, they all just hurry away."
He paused for a mont before adding, "Our Strange Club is also studying that thing. Once you join the club, you’ll have to look at and research all strange phenona from a scientific perspective. So, it’s not right to simply use the term ’strange’ to describe all unknown skeptical phenona. You’ll know more about these things later."
"Okay, Vice President, you’re so wise," Yan Junze managed a smile.
After telling Yan Junze about this, Yang Yang left to et other students, while Yan Junze went to the water room to rinse his thermos flask and then filled it with a full pot of boiling water. Stay tuned with .Côm
When he returned to dorm 411, two more roommates had arrived, one of whom had a strong physique, about one ter eighty in height, and seed like he probably enjoyed playing basketball. However, his appearance suggested he was very naive and straightforward.
The other was a chubby guy, fair and clean looking, who seed to have just entered the dorm and hadn’t had ti to make his bed yet. He had chosen the bunk bed below Yan Junze’s, and on the desk opposite, a neat pile of snacks such as chips, biscuits, nuts, and cola had already been arranged.
The guy’s appetite clearly matched his physique.
The three of them introduced themselves, the tall guy’s na was Zhao Zheng, true to his na, he looked very upright. The chubby one was called He Bishou; Yan Junze suspected his parents nad him based on his body size, perhaps originally intending him to live a long life, but now it had beco a motto for his physique.
The dorm was set up for four people, and it wasn’t long before the last roommate arrived.
This person looked very frail, with a head full of thick hair that could compete with Yang Yang’s, and it seed to have been perd. Dressed in slightly tight-fitting clothes, he had a sowhat flamboyant air as he dragged his suitcase into the dorm room.
The other three were taken aback when they saw the newcor set down his suitcase, make a gesture of holding a flower between his fingers, and ask, "Where’s the last bed?"
His voice was soft and a bit shrill, and the gesture was even more suggestive.
"Over there!" Both Yan Junze and He Bishou pointed toward the upper bunk above Zhao Zheng at the sa ti.
Zhao Zheng looked bewilderedly at his new roommate, harboring an uneasy feeling, but couldn’t quite say what was wrong at the mont.
"Thank you, my na is Xie Hua, my nickna is Hua Hua," Xie Hua said to the three of them after pushing his suitcase over, "But... I like to be called ’Huahua’."
The three of them exchanged awkward glances, the atmosphere awkward yet tinged with a fresh and light feeling akin to a spring breeze.
Looking around the dormitory, Yan Junze felt he was the most normal one here.
But then again, was he really normal?
A day passed by quickly.
Within the span of a single day, the new students who had just registered at the university only got to know the main buildings, such as the dormitory, cafeteria, water room, shower room, and the general locations of the teaching buildings, library, etc.
...
As a senior at Tianng Science University, Han Zhao, who lived in Room 511, had arrived on campus early because, like those other returning students, he was one of the guides welcoming the new students this ti.
The other roommates would not arrive on campus for at least another five or six days.
After a day of busyness, Han Zhao calculated that he had guided more than 40 students in total, and he only returned to his dorm after making sure each one was settled in their dormitory, which showed his dedication.
During dinner ti, he went to the cafeteria to pack so food to bring back because he was feeling too tired. He only ate half of the al before climbing onto the lower bunk and covering himself with a blanket to rest for a while.
Once he rested, he fell asleep quickly.
He slept straight through to midnight, unclear exactly what ti it was, but when Han Zhao woke up, he found that the dormitory lights had been turned off collectively, and only the streetlights from the campus square were shining through the window.
The light shone in, casting a shadowy and blurry dance of the trees.
Young people tend to be heavy sleepers, and even if they go to bed early, Han Zhao would normally sleep until dawn, or at least until after six in the morning when he would naturally wake up.
But now he was awake, not because he had woken up naturally, but because a slight shaking had startled him awake.
Yes, the lower bunk where he was sleeping was shaking slightly, which normally would be caused by soone on the upper bunk turning over.
But the problem was, he was the only one in the entire dormitory; the others hadn’t returned to school yet.
The drowsiness that had not yet dissipated vanished the mont Han Zhao realized this, and he beca instantly alert.
He opened his eyes wide, wondering if he was half-asleep and dreaming, creating the illusion that soone was in the top bunk when that couldn’t be possible.
The brother who slept on the top bunk was nad Guo Jintao, who lived in Tianyi District, so even if he were to co back, he would probably be the last one to arrive at the university.
"Could it be that Taozi ca back last night while I was asleep?" Han Zhao guessed.
But he couldn’t have been sleeping that deeply, and besides, that guy wouldn’t have co back without waking him.
So who was sleeping in the upper bunk?
At this mont, Han Zhao suddenly felt a chill in his heart. His eyes wide open, he carefully observed the bunk across from him, and with the light coming in from the window outside, he saw that both the upper and lower bunks were empty, with no one in them.
Just then, the bunk shook slightly again, as if soone on the top bunk had turned over.
"How can there be soone?!"
Han Zhao curled up on the bed, his scalp tingling and his entire body feeling cold.
He didn’t dare to look in the direction of the top bunk, afraid that just as he looked up, a head would suddenly lower itself from above, staring at him.
But Han Zhao was mistaken; no head appeared, but a bare foot ca over, hooking onto the ladder in the next mont, seemingly ready to climb down.
