Chapter 55 Crazy Wednesday (Thursday)
"…Is this a TV?"
Guo Guo was stunned.
Given the tiny size of Pinocchio's backpack, they thought it might be a discount card or a skill card. But they didn't expect it to be a real promotional product like a refrigerator, TV, or washing machine.
Soon, forensics confirmed the authenticity of the TV:
[This is a brand new LCD TV, at least on the surface. Of course, if the customer tries to return it due to some dissatisfaction - you will find that this is impossible]
After a brief silence, Tang Xinjue poked the TV screen with a toilet plunger, and a prompt appeared:
[Do you want to place this TV in the bedroom? If you do, it will be bound to the bedroom.]
Guo Guo tried the detector and the pendant, and shook his head: "I didn't feel any danger."
Zhang You found an identical TV in the mall: [Wang Jiji brand LCD TV: HD large screen with multiple channels, buy early and earn early as the value will appreciate!]
——Anyway, at least it looks like a good thing now.
Out of curiosity, the four of them confirmed the binding. The next moment, the TV disappeared from the desk and appeared on the wall above the dormitory door.
Tang Xin Jue said: "Look at our phones."
I saw that there was an extra icon on the main interface of the [Dormitory Survival APP]. When I clicked on it, an interface like a remote control appeared, where I could adjust the channel, volume and switch.
Guo Guo muttered to himself, "I never thought that my wish to install a TV in the dormitory would come true in this game."
Just as they were about to turn on the TV, they were interrupted by a knock on the door from the balcony.
Liang Jing was standing outside the window with several girls from the next dormitory, smiling a little nervously.
"Excuse me, can we come in?"
Stepping into dormitory 606, the four girls opened their eyes wide in surprise.
Liang Jing, who had been here once, was fine. The one who had the biggest reaction was the girl who was on guard with a mop stick at the beginning and was burned by the black gift box. According to Liang Jing, the girl's name is Xu Wei. Although she is very aggressive, she is the one who looks the most energetic among the four people except Liang Jing.
The remaining two girls had obviously haggard looks on their faces and followed behind with gloomy eyes.
As soon as Xu Wei entered the room, he couldn't help but say, "Your dormitory looks so complete!"
The word "complete" came out of her mouth immediately, and she expressed it sincerely.
Seeing that Tang Xinjue and the others were a little confused, Liang Jing smiled bitterly and explained: "It's hard to explain right away. If you see our dormitory, you will understand."
…
Following them into the next dormitory, the four people in 606 couldn't help but stop and look at each other when they saw the scene in front of them.
The structure of Liang Jing's dormitory was not much different from theirs. There were also four beds with a bed above and a desk below. Even the size was the same.
However, as far as the eye could see, a huge crack was split from the middle of bed number 4 near the balcony, extending all the way to the door of the dormitory. The originally snow-white wall became mottled and tattered, and was barely patched up with baffles, sheets and clothes, but the solidified scarlet color could still be seen under the cover.
Liang Jing sighed: "This is from the night when the game came..."
That day, Liang Jing and three other friends were all in the dormitory. They were panicking because of the suddenly locked doors and windows and the strange notification sound. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door by the dormitory manager, who said that he had brought the security guard over and asked them to open the door to check the situation.
"We didn't have time to ask questions and immediately opened the door. But who would have thought that when we opened the door, it was not the dormitory manager outside, but a blood-red monster that could not be seen in human form."
The monster pounced on the person who opened the door. Fortunately, Liang Jing happened to be standing on the inside of the door. When she heard the scream, she pushed the door shut. But the monster still squeezed in a part of the room. Once it entered the room, it turned into a pool of liquid and began to spread wildly.
"We tried everything we could think of, and we found that as soon as the notification sounded, it would shrink toward the door, and would continue to expand after the notification sound ended."
So the four of them took advantage of the notification sound to shovel some of the red liquid to the balcony window. As expected, the red monster screamed and was eventually reduced to ashes in a huge explosion, but two beds and a wall were also blown up at the same time.
Liang Jing looked at a very silent roommate: "Xiao An's legs and my arms were also left with scars that night, and they have never healed."
Upon learning that Tang Xinjue and the others had encountered a similar situation, Liang Jing was thoughtful: "At the time, I just thought we were unlucky, but now it seems more like a test that all dormitories will go through...Dormitory survival game, has it dragged all dormitories across the country into this game?"
Two dormitories from different provinces and cities, with no connection at all and whose members were completely strangers to each other, suddenly became neighbors. From a physical point of view, this is impossible.
"But if we are all in an alternate dimension at this moment, everything makes sense."
Liang Jing said seriously: "During the days we were trapped in the dormitory, we tried every possible way to contact the outside world. In the end, we found that only when the notification sound appeared every day, the signals of mobile phones and computers would change slightly."
Could it be that the notification sound comes from the real world? Or from another, more mysterious outer space?
They had no way of confirming it, so they could only record this phenomenon temporarily.
After listening to Liang Jing's story, Tang Xinjue caught a question: "Didn't you take the exam these days?"
"take an exam?"
Liang Jing and the others looked at each other and asked in unison, "Have you taken the exam?"
“…”
With the help of Liang Jing and others, the four members of Room 606 realized that they had only taken the [Dormitory Civility Code Test] once, and then never opened the test interface again, and had been resting ever since.
The two dormitories were both asked to take a test on civility, and the test contents were very similar. However, Liang Jing's dorm was asked to help a girl named Xiaolu solve her problems: helping her find a beauty formula that suited her.
But in the end, they found out that the beauty formula that Xiaolu wanted required human blood, teeth, eyes and internal organs! Faced with Xiaolu's daily demands, the few people could only hide in the bed curtains and pretend to be dead every night, enduring Xiaolu's wanton destruction in the dormitory. Fortunately, after hiding for seven days, just when the few people were dying, the exam announced that they had "been getting along for a while and met the requirements of the civilized code", so they passed the test.
"That test left a huge psychological shadow on us. So until now, we are not ready to start the next exam."
Liang Jing shook her head, "But we also know that this won't work."
If you fail any exam within a week, the whole dormitory will be eliminated. Escape is not a permanent solution.
Talking about this, the four people in Dormitory 612 were a little depressed. However, Xu Wei quickly cheered up and said, "We originally thought that we might never see other people again, but after seeing your dormitory, this idea changed!"
A dormitory where all members have taken the exam and are still alive is undoubtedly a great encouragement to them.
Of course, the same is true for the four people in 606. Meeting people of the same identity and being able to communicate with each other finally made them feel that they were not living on an isolated island, and it gave them hope.
Both parties wanted to chat further, but Tang Xinjue suddenly realized something and turned to look out the window.
Liang Jing and Zhang You also turned their heads almost at the same time, their expressions changed: "It's fog outside!"
At first glance, there seems to be no change, but if you look closely, you can feel that the white fog is pouring in from outside the fence at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it will soon fill the window again.
Guo Guo was shocked: "Fuck! We haven't even returned to the dormitory yet!"
Tang Xinjue and his roommate looked at each other and made a prompt decision: "Let's go!"
No one knew whether they would be able to open the French windows when the white fog covered the balcony, and what would happen if they were forced to stay - they had to return to their dormitory as quickly as possible while the balcony was still there!
