Chapter 75 The sense of peeping from the window
Lin Yi was a little surprised: "Liangzi has washed it, what's wrong?"
Tian Bufan withdrew his gaze: "It's nothing, you can go and wash it too "
"Yes." Lin Yi nodded, "The dormitory rules are behind you. Let's have a good chat after taking a shower."
Tian Bufan nodded: " No problem.”
Lin Yi frowned, feeling that Tian Bufan had something to say, but couldn't figure out what he meant, so he didn't say any more and plunged into the bathroom.
......
Tian Bufan put his hands behind his back and turned to read the dormitory rules.
After reading it again, Wei Liang has not yet dried his hair.
He walked to the desk and pulled out a chair, sat down and looked at Wei Liang.
Wei Liang felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him, so he hastily blew out the last few stupid hairs, then put on his peaked cap and pulled the brim down a little with his hands.
Seeing Tian Bufan, he seemed a little embarrassed, and even his eyes were a little averted.
Tian Bufan asked: "How is your class teacher?"
"Ah?" Wei Liang was obviously a little surprised that Tian Bufan would talk to him, and he shook his head , "Teacher? I don't know..."
"Don't know? That's a pity... I thought you knew more than Lao Lin."
"Ah?" Wei Liang asked confused, "Old Lin? What's wrong with Old Lin?"
Tian Bufan shook his head: "It's nothing."
Wei Liang was stunned again and again, and then hit him I was so excited that I couldn't help but touch my arm, which was already covered with goosebumps.
Oh my god, is this Mr. Tian that Lao Lin talks about... What is he talking about? Why can’t I understand anything...
Tian Bufan stood up with a smile and left his seat. Walk towards Wei Liang.
When passing by Lin Yi's desk, he casually turned the note pad Lin Yi left on the table to a blank page, tore off a piece of paper and wrote a few words, then pressed it on the table and pushed it to Wei Liang's before.
"How..." Wei Liang looked subconsciously, "...?"
"You...?!"
Then, there was doubt in his eyes The color of his face fluctuated strongly, as if some kind of consciousness was about to struggle out of his body...
Tian Bufan watched his changes quietly, and then glanced at the bathroom door.
There was the sound of running water in the bathroom.
“Okay.”
He looked back at Wei Liang calmly after retracting his gaze.
“We don’t have much time...let’s have a little chat.”
……
X023 May 7, 21:36.
There was mist in the bathing area, and Lin Yi kept the posture of leaning back to wash his hair that he learned from Wei Liang, unknowingly thinking that he was doing something indescribable.
Feeling the comfort brought by the warm water rushing over his body, Lin Yi's body, which had been tense all day, relaxed a little.
His eyes were fixed on the pattern on the ceiling of the bathing area, and he was sorting out his thoughts while washing, so that he could communicate with Tian Bufan.
Suddenly he frowned.
He felt that the pattern on the ceiling... seemed familiar.
There are two incandescent lamps in the dormitory bathroom, one on the ceiling of the bathing area, and another on the toilet side. This is designed so that there will be no impact after the waterproof curtain is pulled up.
"Whoa, whoa, whoosh..."
As the mist spread to the ceiling, the incandescent light in the bathing area gave off a hazy feeling, and along with it, there was this hazy feeling. Patterns on the ceiling.
"Hey, this pattern...?"
Lin Yi suddenly realized something and trembled subconsciously.
This pattern... is very similar to the strange relief pattern in the student aisle of the cafeteria!
Lin Yi didn't know if there was any connection, but aside from the design issues during construction, he always had some bad premonitions in his subconscious.
He took the time to wash his hair and then began to rinse his body.
But at this moment, he felt the water mist in the bathing area suddenly move in an unnatural way.
It was like something breathed into the mist.
At this moment, a chill spread from Lin Yi's heart without warning, and no matter how warm the water in the shower was, it could not be washed away.
He felt as if the water mist in front of him was churning like scalding hot water, and something was watching him eagerly from behind the mist.
「?!」
He reacted immediately.
"It's the window!"
"Out the window...is there something peeking at me?"
Lin Yi's pupils shrank slightly, and his scalp suddenly tightened.
【If you hear something knocking on your window, or calling your name outside the window, don't doubt, there is something outside the window. 】
“But...it’s not after lights out yet, right?”
He raised his wrist - his quartz watch was still on it, something he hadn't taken off since entering the campus.
He wiped away the mist on the surface with his thumb and glanced at the time.
21:40.
"Still within the safe time period."
"Wait..." He also realized something, "The thing outside the window did not knock on the window, nor did it call my name... …”
Don't doubt it, there is something outside the window.
"Nah..."
"So, there is always something outside the window, but it can only take action when the lights go out, right?"
< br>Lin Yi couldn't help but shudder. He immediately thought of the person who turned the lock and entered the classroom after the lights went out!
According to the head teacher, that thing was not her, but something that even she couldn't stop.
Now it seems that such unknown creatures have actually been wandering around the campus. They are driven away by the lights and attracted by the lights. They chase the lights because they know that there is prey under the lights.
Once the lights go out, the prey will appear in front of them in a defenseless posture.
They will enter the dormitory through the door, window and other means of the dormitory, and attack those who do not show the "sleep" state!
Lin Yi, who was taking a hot shower, immediately thought of the sentence in the canteen rules: [The canteen with the lights off is different from the classroom, and there is no safe area. 】
The canteen with the lights out is different from the classroom, but the dormitory with the lights out...may be similar to the classroom to a certain extent, and not only are they similar, but the safety factor is also improved.
So you need to get under the table in the classroom, but just lie down on the bed in the dormitory.
It is precisely because of this that the student regulations specify the priority of overnight stays - the dormitory is greater than the dormitory office and equal to the teaching building!
"If that's the case——"
Lin Yi suddenly thought of something.
"It is 21:40 now..."
"First of all, it is the safe time before lights out."
"Secondly, I am in a dormitory that is known as one of the safest places on campus, where I can even think and discuss without restraint."
"Finally, I currently meet all the conditions to maintain myself in a 'safe' state."
"So..."
He raised his hand toward the window, and those gathered around The fog in front of him was pushed aside, revealing a... closed window.
The built-in blinds on the windows were even pulled down so the outside couldn't see in and the inside couldn't see out. "What the hell..."
The windows are closed, the blinds are pulled down, and there is no transparency inside or outside.
So where did that feeling of being spied on come from? !
He then squinted his eyes and stopped.
After a while, the mist filled the air, and the strong feeling of being watched once again climbed up his body like a tentacle...
He waved his hand again, and the mist and the feeling of being watched disappeared. They all disappeared again.
"This..."
He couldn't help but look at the window that looked hazy and unreal after the mist.
The windows in the mist seemed... different from usual.
"Wait?!"
He shuddered and withdrew his gaze like a knife——
"I understand!"
"Layers! "
"Fog can affect layers!"
"Fuck! No way..." Lin Yi was startled and broke into a cold sweat, which was immediately washed away by the shower. "Does the mist produced by water vapor have the same effect as the fog from the outside?"
" Don’t you want to...?”
Just as he was looking at the window and hesitating, water mist spread out from under the waterproof curtain.
Under the illumination of incandescent lamps, a heavy layer of water mist twisted and overlapped, revealing a twisted, human-shaped outline on the waterproof curtain.
This outline continued to distort its posture as the mist filled the air, as if there was really some unknown creature standing over there, only a curtain away from Lin Yi...! ! !
The feeling of being spied on once again enveloped Lin Yi, making him feel creepy.
"...Behind me?!"
Lin Yi's pupils shrank for an instant, and he turned around alertly.
The movement of turning around caused the mist to ripple, and the outline of the unknown creature reflected in the mist immediately dispersed, leaving nothing behind.
But the feeling of being spied on became stronger and stronger, and this feeling gave Lin Yi the feeling that it was still behind him, and this time, his back seemed to be... the window.
He turned around at an extremely slow speed, trying his best to keep the water mist in its "original shape."
Based on the judgment of the killing mechanism of the wrong classmates in the classroom, Lin Yi suddenly thought that these creatures described by the rules should all have unique mechanisms.
The first and most basic point is, do not question its existence, believe that it exists.
Believing in their existence and ignoring them at critical times are two completely different things.
In other words, there was really something lying on the window peeking at him, but because the conditions were not met, it couldn't knock on the window or climb in.
"Open the window and take a look."
These four words jumped out of his mind without warning.
As soon as these four words appeared, it was like opening a Pandora's box and it couldn't be dissipated in his mind. Not only that, it was drilling like crazy with a drill. Drill deep into his soul.
Two little people jumped out from his left and right shoulders.
The little devil with two horns kept encouraging him: "Open the window, open the window! Anyway, it's safe, so why panic? Open the window and take a look. Don't come back before you miss the opportunity!" ”
The little angel with a pair of wings advised seriously: "Don't open the window, don't believe what he says!"
The two little men were chattering, which made Lin Yi's head buzz.
He slowly stretched out his hand towards the window.
At the window, the cold wind seemed to penetrate the cracks and blew in hissingly, like the smile of a ghost in a gloomy hell.
Just when his hand was about to touch the window, he waved.
The fog was blown away, and the weird feeling was completely shattered.
Lin Yi looked at the normal window with an expressionless face, turned around and turned off the shower.
At this moment, he suddenly looked at his hand that turned off the shower switch and was stunned for a moment.
This hand was also reaching for the window just now, but——
“Why don’t I feel anything about the paranoid behavior just now?!”
Lin Yi felt a chill.
The act of reaching out and trying to open the window did not cause any problems at the time, but now looking back and thinking about it, at that time... he seemed to be controlled!
But he himself didn’t notice anything was wrong!
As he began to wipe his body with a bath towel, the water mist in the bathroom also dissipated.
At this moment, Wei Liang called out in a mean voice outside the door: "Hey! Lao Lin, have you washed up? Don't always reward yourself while taking a shower!"
< br>
"Okay, okay! Didn't you hear me turn off the shower?" Lin Yi responded.
After a while he got dressed and opened the door.
When he left the bathroom, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, there was even more excitement in his eyes.
"Weisang, Kuai Kuai! Are you back too?"
In the dormitory, in addition to Tian Bufan and Wei Liang, who were already there, Wei Shan, who was between fat and strong, and Kuai Hongji, who was as tall and thin as a bamboo pole, were also rushing in while he was taking a shower. Back to the dormitory.
But compared to Kuai Hongji, who couldn't see any difference when they parted, Wei Shan's clothes were obviously a little damaged, and seemed to have a lot of white stains on them.
Seeing this, Wei Shan nodded, and said with care and respect for words: "Well, I'm here, Lao Lin."
Kuai Hongji, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, had a smile on his face. He smiled and said, "Of course I'm back. Why don't you check what time it is?"
Lin Yi subconsciously glanced at his watch and then at the clock hanging on the door of the dormitory.
21:48.
There was a power outage in the corridor of the dormitory building just 12 minutes away, and there were only 12 minutes left.
That means... once the time is up, it means that Mao Feiyang really can't come back.
Seeing Lin Yi's dim eyes, Tian Bufan said first: "Wei Sang, Kuai Kuai, you two wash up first, I will chat with Lao Lin, and then wash up last."
"Then I'll wash it first." Wei Shan was already moving when he spoke. He opened the cabinet door vigorously, picked out the clothes he needed, and then walked to the bathroom.
"Hey!" Lin Yi suddenly pointed to the sky, "Wait a moment, I will take out the dirty clothes first."
He hurried to the bathroom and took the dirty clothes over.
“Throw it here!” Wei Liang helped him open the door of the thing that looked like a washing machine under the sink, and motioned for him to throw the clothes in directly.
Lin Yi glanced at the washing machine subconsciously.
This seems to be a washing machine, with a drum inside, but...there are really no clothes or socks that Wei Liang threw in before.
"Just throw your clothes in. There is a passage here where the collected clothes will be disposed of together. If necessary, just ask the school to pick them up when you leave."
"Look." Wei Liang Pointing to the washing machine, there was indeed a sign above it.
The sign reads:
[The dormitory has prepared sufficient changes of clothes for all students. Please put the clothes you change daily (all, including shoes) into the recycling channel. 】
Lin Yi didn't expect that he even needed to change his shoes, so he stuffed all his clothes in.
When it was the turn of the shoes, his body suddenly froze.
His eyes were fixed on the soles of this pair of sneakers, and he saw a large patch of moss on the soles of these shoes.
Thanks to the book friend "cheeks slightly red" for the tip! !
PS: During New Year's Day, I may take a day off (or maybe, or try not to take off at all), thank you...
