However, with just one attempt, he felt as if a tide was flowing in the boundless void of that world...

"To chant such a sound, will I sense that vast sea? Or... could I connect with that ocean?!"

Lin Yi quickly scrambled his thoughts, daring not to entertain the idea of remembering that sound for even a moment.

"I can't waste any more time here, I have to fall asleep right away!"

Dreams can be long or short, but the time for sleep is limited. Lin Yi worried that after all the back and forth, there wouldn't be much time left for sleep.

But those humanoid things were hovering just below him, and even now it was highly likely that one was in the position of lying on top of his bed, watching him—otherwise, how could that cold breath be so close?

At this moment, Lin Yi really hoped that the feigning sleeper Wei Liang would conjure up some "Crafty Tricks," but Wei Liang's snoring was too authentic.

And the other roommates were sleeping soundly as if they were dead to the world.

[You're awake.]

[I know you're awake.]

In Lin Yi's ears, it was as if a low and steady voice was echoing, so familiar, so very familiar, that voice was just like...

[I am Wei Liang, Lin Yi...]

[I am Wei Liang... my student ID is X0230423032...]

[Lin Yi, I'm trapped in the school... the one who left wasn't me...]

[It wanted to hurt you, that's why it lured you in...]

[Lin Yi... wake up quickly, don't sleep...]

[Lin Yi...]

Lin Yi confirmed that this humanoid thing was indeed speaking into his ear, the cold voice tinged with a hint of urgency, making it difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood in the moment.

But Lin Yi did not answer it.

He couldn't trust it, nor could he respond to it; once he did, his state of safety would be breached.

Yet that humanoid thing kept chattering non-stop, repeatedly mentioning one sentence: [My student ID is X0230423032].

April 23... indeed was the last time Wei Liang had come.

But... he really couldn't respond in any way.

[Old Lin... there's not much time left... there's not much time...]

[I've been looking for you guys for a long time... it took a long time to find you...]

[Believe me...]

[I know you're awake, open your eyes and look at me!]

[Just look at me, and you'll believe what I'm saying...]

[Lin Yi!]

[Lin Yi!!]

At this moment, Wei Shan, who was deeply asleep, seemed uncomfortable in his sleep and turned over, shifting from lying on his back to his side.

But after turning to his side, he seemed a bit uneasy, and reached out his hand for his pillow, grabbed the edge of it and moved it in front of him, hugging it like a body pillow to his chest.

The whole process was very smooth, but because Wei Shan's bed was next to Lin Yi's, when he swung his arm wide to adjust the pillow, he hit the unknown humanoid thing right by Lin Yi's bed...

Wei Shan's strength in his sleep was incalculable, but Lin Yi clearly felt something like a heavy sandbag fly by with a whoosh.

The thing that had been lurking at the head of his bed was sent flying like it had been hit by a dump truck, and landed with a 'thud' against the door.

Then looking at Wei Shan, who smacked his lips twice and snuggled up to his pillow, sleeping blissfully.

But the peace didn't last long; before Lin Yi could even catch his breath, he felt that cold breath against his cheek again—the humanoid thing that was supposed to have been flung away was back at his bedside as if it had a ghostly presence!

This eerie way of moving reminded him of one thing—the Pocket Chef with the green apron!

The cafeteria's Pocket Chef with the green apron seemed to possess a ghastly speed that allowed him to glide through shadows like a fish through water.

"Could this thing be some kind of eerie unit with characteristics of the green aproned Pocket Chef?"

"Or... is it the green aproned Pocket Chef itself?"

The green apron-clad chef's severed hand solidified onto the stone pillar in the Cafeteria, in essence, it's quite similar to a Pseudo-Human Rank Nocturnal species. Its appearance here... can also be understood.

But without opening his eyes to look, he couldn't be sure exactly what the thing was.

All he could hope for now was that Tian Bufan had truly turned on the digital camera and captured this tense and thrilling scene.

Lin Yi dared not take even a breath, only daring to breathe in a shallow and even manner, as if he were truly asleep, inch by inch.

He began trying to empty his thoughts, in hopes of falling back into sleep, but under the interference of this humanoid thing, not only did he achieve no effect, but he also started to intermittently hear the sounds of sea waves.

And that whistling sound, which had only appeared when he fell through the layers, began to merge with the advancing sound of the waves and the howling of the sea breeze, hovering by his ear, trying to drill into his brain.

[Lin Yi, it's Wei Liang...]

["fanTome fRa forRidEn"]

[Trust me...]

"Whish whish whish..."

"Hu lei lei——"

"(Whistle...)"

All the sounds seemed to be kneaded together at once, becoming obscure and difficult to discern, constantly tormenting Lin Yi...

And just as he was being overwhelmed by these waves of sound, another noise entered the "battlefield".

"Click!"

The Dormitory's door handle was pressed down from the outside.

But the door was locked, and with card access, simply pressing the door handle was of course useless.

The thing outside the door, seeing it couldn't open the door immediately, tried again.

After a few attempts, the door still did not open, and the thing switched to a much more violent method of entering.

"Bang bang bang...!!!"

Violent pounding came from the door, the door handle was repeatedly pressed, and the whole Dormitory seemed to shake.

Soon, the violent entry noise drowned out the strange voices that lingered by Lin Yi's ear.

Finally, at a certain moment, accompanied by a heavy "bang", the door was forcefully burst open!

A warmth like that of wine simmering on the hearth invaded directly from outside the door, washing away the original chill and eeriness of the Dormitory.

The humanoid thing that had been whispering by the edge of Lin Yi's bed chose to flee the moment the door was violently opened, but it didn't get far before being frozen in place as the Dormitory door opened.

A sense of shock rose in Lin Yi's heart, in his imagination, when the Dormitory door was violently flipped, those non-human Units, no, those Pseudo-Humans and Purebred Nightwalkers would certainly pour in, and with them, an endless eerie fog.

However, the reality was the exact opposite.

"Don't open your eyes, just follow me quietly," a normal and somewhat calm voice rose from the area exuding warmth.

And immediately after, several slightly trembling voices said, "Uh... okay, okay..."

Lin Yi's spirit was lifted.

"Could it be... the Dormitory Supervisor?!"

He thought of the scene where Mao Feiyang encountered the Dormitory Supervisor in the Dormitory building corridor; at that time, the Supervisor was taking Mao Feiyang to check the rooms first before going to the Art Building.

Which meant that the one who entered the Dormitory now was the room-checking Dormitory Supervisor!

And that thing exuding warmth, was undoubtedly the old-fashioned kerosene lamp.

"The Dormitory Supervisor came with the old-fashioned kerosene lamp, can I sneak a peek to see what happened?" Lin Yi entertained this thought in his heart.

"No, that won't do, better to keep pretending to sleep!"

It was best to avoid stirring up trouble... Lin Yi admonished himself internally.

Seizing the opportunity when the Dormitory Supervisor appeared with the old-fashioned kerosene lamp, scattering all those eerie sounds, shouldn't he take the chance to fall back asleep?

Meanwhile, he thought he heard the Dormitory Supervisor mumbling something. He couldn't hear it clearly, but he caught a few words.

Something like... "in the name of the Dormitory Supervisor", "be obliterated" and such...
