“No… I still don’t think this will work.”
The dorm supervisor swallowed and quickly picked up the register from the floor, hiding it behind her back.
She added seriously, “It’s too late. Night wandering violates school rules. I can’t let you go out.”
At the same time, she winked at Liu Shuang.
The message was clear: don’t provoke her, let it go.
Liu Shuang insisted, “But my roommate is very sick. We have to go to the hospital immediately.”
She winked back at the dorm supervisor: Don’t eat the fat meat right in front of you? Are you stupid?
Both sides were trying very hard to communicate with subtle gestures, but neither seemed to understand the other.
Although they carefully avoided eye contact with Luo Yu while doing this…
Luo Yu thought: It’s way too obvious. She literally cannot ignore it!
These two definitely had something going on.
The trust she had briefly felt for Liu Shuang due to shared sympathy instantly evaporated. Looking back, although Liu Shuang had outwardly acted like a normal student the whole time, there seemed to be a lot of suspicious things in what she said.
And now, Liu Shuang’s strange behavior…
Luo Yu’s throat tightened. She silently withdrew her hand and took a cautious step back.
Fortunately, Liu Shuang and the dorm supervisor were so “entangled” with each other that they didn’t notice her little movement.
Finally, the argument ended abruptly with the dorm supervisor asserting her authority: “I’m the supervisor, and I decide. Sick people will get treatment tomorrow. Today, it’s just not happening!”
Liu Shuang choked on her words, glaring angrily at the supervisor. She forgot that Luo Yu was behind her and stormed off back to the dorm.
The dorm supervisor was not happy either.
This youngster was too reckless and refused to listen.
When causing trouble, target someone honest and easy to bully, someone with a clean background, don’t try to take on a big one right away.
Did she know what that little girl, Luo Yu, was capable of?
Last night, she had seen it with her own eyes…
The thought made the supervisor shiver.
Luckily, she had reacted quickly, or it would have been disastrous.
Luo Yu returned to the dorm with Liu Shuang. The other two roommates they had been discussing were already in the dorm.
They had been studying, but when they saw Luo Yu safely back, they exchanged a surprised glance.
Then, they simultaneously looked at Liu Shuang, their eyes full of suspicion.
Hey, why did you bring Luo Yu back again—?
Their gaze practically shouted this. Luo Yu found it impossible to ignore.
Luo Yu thought: If you’re scheming, at least avoid the main target.
But after this, she understood clearly.
Of the four people in the dorm, apart from her, the other three all had issues. They were likely under monster control.
In other words, she was going to sleep tonight in a nest of monsters…
What a headache.
Meanwhile, Liu Shuang ignored the other two’s questions. She seemed annoyed at the dorm supervisor’s interference and went straight to bed without a word.
Luo Yu climbed onto her own bunk.
There was no alternative—she had nowhere else to rest. The dorm was relatively safer.
She closed her eyes but did not dare to sleep fully. Her mind replayed what had just happened.
Liu Shuang had said she wanted to show her something important. Looking back now, whether that “important thing” actually existed was uncertain—but Liu Shuang was definitely not acting in good faith.
Perhaps the other three in the dorm were plotting together against her.
First, Li Yi and the other person disappeared, then Liu Shuang used the opportunity to gain her trust, luring her into a dangerous place.
If the dorm supervisor downstairs hadn’t stopped them, Luo Yu believed she would have been in serious danger.
But why was the dorm supervisor protecting her?
Could the dorm supervisor actually be a good person?
And Liu Shuang and the others—why would they deliberately set a trap for her? Were monsters ordering them to do it, or…?
Suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through Luo Yu’s mind.
She opened her eyes abruptly and cautiously scanned the three other people in the dorm, who were already asleep.
…Were they even still human?
Meanwhile, on the first floor lobby of the dorm building. Luo Yu had just left the lobby when Yang Tian returned through the door.
She had just been intimate with Sun Heng, a faint charm lingering at the corners of her eyes.
Seeing the dorm supervisor, she greeted her sweetly, “Hello, Auntie.”
The supervisor had initially not intended to respond, but seeing the blank register in front of her, she immediately started hatching a plan.
“Hello, this student.”
The supervisor beckoned to Yang Tian.
“Recently, there was a student disappearance at the school, right? For the safety of the students, the school has now required that all returning students register their name information for verification. Come on, fill in the register.”
A student disappearance?
Yang Tian’s eyes lit up. She approached the supervisor.
She had a hunch that this was an NPC revealing information in the game. She needed to seize the opportunity and gather intelligence.
“Auntie, what exactly happened with the disappearances? There are so many strange rumors at school—it’s really scary!”
While questioning the NPC, Yang Tian glanced at the register.
She was careful and didn’t sign immediately, instead flipping through a few pages.
“Don’t poke your nose into things,” the dorm supervisor said sternly.
But she quickly added, “Go on, register your information. If there’s still time afterward, I’ll tell you more.”
The NPC had revealed a little. Yang Tian felt triumphant.
At the same time, she found exactly what she wanted in the register: other female players in the game, including Luo Yu, had already registered their names and dorm return times.
It seemed that registering information was an inevitable part of the game.
Seeing that others had signed successfully, Yang Tian let her guard down.
What she didn’t realize was that those signatures were forged. The moment before she had flipped through the register, the pages that were now filled with tiny handwriting had all been blank.
After Yang Tian signed, the dorm supervisor smiled with satisfaction.
She casually fabricated a story about a student disappearing in the small forest and warned Yang Tian that wild wolves might be present, discouraging her from going there. The plan worked, and Yang Tian left.
Both parties were satisfied.
Yang Tian thought she had obtained key information from the game and planned to boast to Sun Heng tomorrow and scorn Luo Yu.
The dorm supervisor, however, stared at Yang Tian’s retreating back, her black pupils glinting strangely.
She had her bait—so foolish.
Dormitory. Luo Yu stayed awake until midnight.
Having confirmed that the other three were strange, she didn’t dare sleep.
What if they took advantage of her falling asleep to attack her, or even strangle her?
But staying up like this wasn’t easy either.
Her eyelids kept sticking together. She would nap for a few minutes, then wake up abruptly, forcing herself to stay alert against the three “abnormal people.”
So tired… so miserable…
Before she knew it, it was late at night. Luo Yu was still struggling to stay awake.
And the evil god, who had been thinking about the hand on his back from the morning, finally could not resist. Under the cover of darkness, he cast a glance toward where Luo Yu was.
He happened to see Luo Yu glaring at the ceiling, bloodshot eyes wide open, staring ghost-like.
…
This follower of His, at least in part, was indeed rather strange.
