Chapter 55 Crazy Wednesday
"...This is a TV?"
Guo Guo was stunned.
Based on the microscopic size of the puppet's backpack, they originally thought it would be a discount card or a skill card. But they didn't expect it to be a serious promotional product like "refrigerator, colored TV, washing machine".
Soon, [identification] confirmed the TV’s authenticity:
[This is a brand new LCD TV, at least on the surface. Of course, if the customer is trying to return something because you are not satisfied in some way - you will find that this is not possible]
After a brief silence, Tang Xinjue poked the TV screen with the toilet plunger, and a prompt appeared:
[Do you want to put this TV in the dormitory? Once placed, it will be bound to the dormitory.]
Guo Guo tried the detector and the pendant one after another and shook her head: "I don't feel any danger."
Zhang You found the exact same TV in the mall: [Wang Jiji LCD TV: high-definition large screen with multiple channels, buy early and earn early to increase the value!]
——Anyway, at least it looked 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 Xinjue said: "Look at our mobile phones."
They saw that the main interface of [Dormitory Survival App] had an additional icon. Click on it and an interface like a remote control will appear. They could adjust the channel, volume and switch.
Guo Guo murmured to herself: "I didn't expect that my wish to install a TV in the dormitory would come true in this game."
They were all about to turn on the TV and watch, but were interrupted by a knock on the door from the balcony.
Liang Jing was standing outside the window with a few girls from the next door dormitory, showing a nervous smile.
"Excuse me, can we come in?"
*
Entering dormitory 606, the four girls all opened their eyes in surprise.
Liang Jing, who had already been here once, was okay, but the girl who had the biggest reaction was the girl who was initially on guard with a mop pole and was burned by the black gift box. According to Liang Jing, the girl's name was Xu Wei. Although she was very aggressive, she was the one with the most energy among the four except Liang Jing.
The remaining two girls had obvious haggard looks on their faces, and they followed behind with sluggish brows.
As soon as Xu Wei entered the door, she couldn't help but say: "Your dormitory looks so complete!"
"Complete" was the word she blurted out, and her exclamation was very sincere.
Seeing that Tang Xinjue and others were a little confused, Liang Jing smiled bitterly and explained: "It won't be clear for a while, but if you see our dormitory, you will understand."
…
Following them into the dorm next door, the four people from 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 are also four beds, a bed and a table. Even the size was the same.
However, as far as the eye can see, a huge crack splits from the middle of bed No. 4 near the balcony and spreads to the dormitory door. The originally snow-white walls became mottled and tattered, and were barely covered by curtains, sheets and clothes, but the scarlet red that had solidified under the cover could still be seen.
Liang Jing sighed: "This comes from the night when the game came..."
That day, Liang Jing and the four of them happened to be staying in the dormitory. They were panicking because of the suddenly locked doors and windows and the strange sound of notifications. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from the dormitory manager, saying that she had brought security guards and asked them to open the door to check the situation. .
"We didn't have time to have any questions, so we opened the door quickly. But who would have thought that when we opened the door, it wasn't the dormitory auntie outside at all, but a blood-red monster with no human shape."
The monster rushed towards 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 opened the door and closed it. But the monster still squeezed in, and once it entered the room, it turned into a puddle of liquid and began to spread crazily.
"We tried all our methods at that time, and finally found that as soon as the notification sound appeared, it would shrink towards the door and only continue to expand when the notification sound ended."
So the four of them took advantage of the notification sound to shovel part of the red liquid to the balcony window. As expected, the red monster screamed and was eventually wiped out in a huge explosion, but it also destroyed two beds and a wall.
Liang Jing looked at a very silent roommate: "Xiao An's legs and my arms also left scars that night, and they have never healed."
Knowing that Tang Xinjue and others also encountered a similar situation, Liang Jing thoughtfully said: "At the time, I just thought it was because we were unlucky. Looking at it now, it looks more like a test that all dormitories will go through... A dormitory survival game, are all dormitories across the country involved in this game?"
Two dormitories in different provinces and cities that were completely incompatible with each other, and whose members were completely strangers to each other, suddenly became neighbors. From a physical sense, this was an impossible situation.
"But if we are all in a different dimension at this time, everything makes sense."
Liang Jing said seriously: "During the past few days when we were trapped in the dormitory, we tried every method 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 the notification sound come from the real world? Or maybe it comes from another, weirder outer space?
They had no way of knowing for sure, so they could only temporarily record the phenomenon.
After listening to Liang Jing's story, Tang Xinjue caught a question: "Didn't you take exams these days?"
"Take an exam?"
Liang Jing and others looked at each other and said in surprise: "Have you already taken an exam?"
"..."
With the help of Liang Jing and others, the four people in 606 found out that they had only experienced the [Dormitory Civilization Code Test] once, and then never clicked on the exam interface again, and had been recuperating.
So it was the same Dormitory Civilization Code test, and the "exam contents" of the two dormitories were very similar. It's just that Liang Jing's dormitory was to help a girl named Xiaolu solve her troubles: help her find the beauty formula that suits her.
But in the end they discovered that the beauty formula Xiaolu wanted needed to be prepared with human blood, teeth, eyes and internal organs! Faced with Xiao Lu who came to ask for help every day, they could only hide in the bed tent every night and pretend to be dead, enduring Xiao Lu's wreaking havoc in the dormitory. Fortunately, after hiding for seven days, just as several people were dying, the exam announced that they had "been friendly for a period of time and complied with the requirements of the civilization code", and they passed the test in a thrilling manner.
"That test left a huge psychological shadow on us. So until now, we are not ready to start the next test."
Liang Jing shook her head, "But we also know that this won't work."
If they fail to pass any test within a week, the entire dormitory would be eliminated. Escape was not a permanent solution.
Speaking of this, the four people in dormitory 612 were a little depressed. But Xu Wei quickly cheered up and said: "Originally we thought we might never see anyone else again, but after seeing your dormitory, this idea changed!"
A dormitory where everyone had already taken the exam but was still alive was undoubtedly a great inspiration to them.
Of course, the same was true for the 606's quartet. Meeting people with the same identity who could communicate with them made them finally feel that they were not living on an isolated island, which injected a sense of hope.
The two sides wanted to talk again, but Tang Xinjue suddenly noticed something and turned to look out the window.
Liang Jing and Zhang You also turned their heads almost at the same time, and their expressions changed: "The fog outside!"
At first glance, there was no change, but if you look closely, you can feel that the white mist is pouring in from outside the fence at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it would not take long for it to fill the window again.
Guo Guo was shocked: "F*ck! We haven't returned to the dormitory yet!"
Tang Xinjue and her roommates looked at each other and made a quick decision: "Let's go!"
No one knows whether they could open the floor-to-ceiling windows when the white mist flooded the balcony, and what would happen if they were forced to stay - they must return to their dormitory as quickly as possible while the balcony was still there!
