Chapter 655 Dormitory Supervisor's Rules Dormitory Supervisor's Rules

The small house has a fairly large interior space, and the decoration is very simple, with only a few old-fashioned sofas and a table.

But soon, this seemingly ordinary space, decorated like an old house from the 1980s or 90s, began to exude an eerie atmosphere that was completely out of place with "safety." Upon closer inspection, one would discover that the source of this eerie atmosphere was the easily overlooked "background" outside this limited space.

The background is the wall of the dormitory manager's office.

Due to lighting issues, the dormitory manager's room was not brightly lit. Although an incandescent bulb hung from the ceiling, its light was pitifully weak. Almost all the light in the dormitory manager's room came from an old kerosene lamp placed on the table.

Even without an owner, simply placed quietly on the table, the old kerosene lamp still steadily performs its function, creating a considerable area of ​​light in the dormitory room, which, along with the incandescent bulb, envelops these old-fashioned sofas.

However, the background wall behind the old-fashioned sofa was thus plunged into darkness and haze.

The walls of the dormitory manager's room have a very subtle presence. If you don't look at them, you'll feel that they are there, confining this so-called space and making it a square "room"—the dormitory manager's room.

However, upon closer inspection, one will find that this wall is very illusory, like an illusory barrier formed by countless overlapping shadows. Its existence lies between reality and illusion, as if constituting the essence of its boundary. It is not a wall at the level of individual cognition, but something forcibly overwritten into cognition.

Its existence depends on the boundary formed by the light of the old kerosene lamp on the table.

Without that light, I wonder if this wall would still be standing.

There seemed to be something very thin pressing down under the old kerosene lamp, and besides the old kerosene lamp, there was also a four-sided pendulum clock on the table, with the current time clearly showing as 22:12.

It didn't actually take Kuai Hongji much time to walk from the corridor to the dormitory building.

Around the table, several sofas were placed against the wall, with a total of five people sitting on them.

Including a person who was panting heavily and shaking their hands, there were a total of six people.

When Kuai Hongji pushed open the door, all six people looked over.

The air was deathly still, the atmosphere terrifyingly heavy, as if water could drip from it.

Of the six men, one had the most gloomy face and a hideous appearance. He sat there like a prison bully, glaring fiercely at Kuai Hongji.

This prison bully-like figure was tall and burly, with an extremely mixed green aura emanating from him, as if he had crawled out of a pile of fake people. Although he couldn't compare to a sports student like Xu Shunkang, he was already beyond the reach of a junior sports student.

His breathing was disordered yet domineering. Sitting there, he was like a coal-fired steam train that had been parked there, constantly releasing faint waves of intimidation in all directions.

The person who had stopped shaking their hand, clutching their burned wrist, also fixed their gaze on Kuai Hongji.

Of the remaining four people, one was a girl who was huddled on a separate sofa, clutching a small card tightly in her hand, looking like a little lamb.

There were three other people, all boys, who appeared to be of varying strengths, but they were all suppressed by the "prison bully" to the point of being unable to stand up straight.

Kuai Hongji's gaze swept over the people, and he silently walked into the dormitory manager's office, then closed the door behind him.

He looked around, his gaze finally settling on the "dormitory bully": "Where are the dormitory rules?"

Seeing that Kuai Hongji still dared to speak to him, the prison bully curled his lips into a mocking smile. He pointed to the ground beneath his feet and said coldly, "I am the dormitory manager's rule."

As he made this movement, a clanging metallic sound came from under his clothes, as if some kind of iron chain was hidden there.

Kuai Hongji ignored his attitude and asked again, "Is it the 'Dormitory Management Rules' or the rules with an appendix? How many articles are in the appendix?"

“You…” A chilling light flashed in the prison bully’s eyes.

"I understand." Kuai Hongji nodded slightly, then walked to the table and reached for the old kerosene lamp.

Upon seeing this, the prison bully's eyes flashed with a fierce glint. He immediately sprang into action, swinging his fist at Kuai Hongji.

Are you deaf? Can't you understand what I'm saying?

His fists were large and calloused, unlike those of an ordinary intern.

But Kuai Hongji was no pushover either.

Throughout the dormitory, his "appearance" was like that of a sinister vulture villain.

Seeing that the prison bully was trying to intimidate him, Kuai Hongji grabbed his fist.

A bizarre scene unfolded: the ruthless prison bully, who was clearly charging in with a violent aura, was easily stopped by the slender Kuai Hongji.

"You...?!" The prison bully was terrified. Only he knew how much strength Kuai Hongji had in his hands.

"I'll ask one last time, where are the 'Dormitory Management Rules' and 'Dormitory Management Rules'?" Kuai Hongji asked coldly.

The prison bully, refusing to believe it, unleashed another flying kick aimed straight at Kuai Hongji's abdomen. To be kicked by someone of his build at such close range would likely leave a normal person with their internal organs severely damaged.

Kuai Hongji didn't take the kick head-on; instead, he turned to the side, causing Kuai to miss.

Having failed to get the answer he wanted the first time, Kuai Hongji stopped talking and grabbed the prison bully's arm, throwing him to the ground.

He flicked it lightly, and a spark appeared out of nowhere, falling onto the prison bully's arm...

"laugh……"

The bruised man's arm emitted white smoke as if it had come into contact with sulfuric acid, and then his arm caught fire like a piece of paper.

"Ah!! Ah—!!" The prison bully rolled around on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames, but to no avail.

At that moment, his fierce expression vanished completely, leaving only fear: "It's on the sofa! It's on the sofa!! Put out my fire, quick!! Quick!!"

Seeing this, Kuai Hongji slowly walked to the side of the prison bully, ignored the flames, and placed his hand on the prison bully's body.

The prison bully quickly suppressed his discomfort and pain, summoning the greatest politeness he had ever shown, and weakly said, "Th...thank you..."

"boom--!!!"

The fire suddenly intensified, drowning out the prison bully's words of thanks.

In the blink of an eye, the prison bully was burned to ashes, and where he had stood, only a chain remained.

Kuai Hongji had no intention of helping him put out the fire.

As he said, the question he just asked was the last time he would ask the prison bully. Because regardless of whether the prison bully answered or not, he had no patience to argue with him anymore.

After easily dealing with the prison bully, Kuai Hongji calmly glanced at the chain, then picked it up and placed it on the table.

After completing this step, he gently patted the dust off his clothes and then walked unhurriedly to the sofa where the prison bully had been sitting.

On the sofa, there was a board and a small notebook.

The signboard clearly read "Dormitory Management Rules," and the small notebook obviously contained those rules.

Kuai Hongji lowered his head, his gaze falling on the "Dormitory Management Office Rules," taking in all its contents at a glance:
"【Dormitory Management Office Rules:】"

Welcome to the dormitory manager's office!

"Before entering the dormitory manager's office, please hold the doorknob to ensure you have actually arrived. Please remember this rule before entering the dormitory manager's office to prevent any accidents."

"As long as you follow these rules, the dormitory management office will provide you with sufficient shelter for the foreseeable future:"

"1. The interior of the dormitory manager's office is a huge living room. Although there are some uneven textures on the walls, they are just architectural features and you should not focus on them."

You just need to focus your attention on the sofa and table.

"If you accidentally touch the dormitory supervisor's office wall, please remain absolutely rational and quickly return to a well-lit area inside the dormitory supervisor's office!"

"Unauthorized departure from the dormitory supervisor's office's light-filled area is strictly prohibited!!!"

"Unauthorized departure from the dormitory supervisor's office's light-filled area is strictly prohibited!!!"
"Unauthorized departure from the dormitory supervisor's office's light-filled area is strictly prohibited!!!"

“2、宿管室的桌子上有一只摆钟，摆钟会在每天的6:00以及21：00响起。”

"If the alarm sounds at 6:00, you will have 100 minutes to play. During this time, you can leave the dormitory management office and enter the dormitory building corridor. After finding the elevator, you can leave the dormitory building by following the normal procedures."

"If the time period is 21:00, you will have 60 minutes of activity time. During this time, you can leave the dormitory management office and enter the dormitory building corridor, find the corresponding dormitory and enter the dormitory to spend the night."

"Note: During this period, you must only trust yourself and not be disturbed by any external forces!!!"

"If you are unable to find the elevator, or are still in the dormitory hallway after the lights have been turned off, please strictly follow these steps to ensure your safety and survival:"

"1) Hold your student ID card firmly in your hand, find the fireproof door in the stairwell of the dormitory building, open the door and enter."

"2) After entering the room, please close the door immediately and hold the doorknob firmly."

"3) No matter what sounds you hear coming from the hallway behind the door, do not let go of the doorknob."

"4) When you see a human-shaped sculpture next to you, pull the doorknob and enter the dormitory building's corridor. The lights in the corridor will definitely be off at this time. Don't panic, hold your student ID card tightly, and wait for the dormitory manager to arrive."

"The dormitory manager will carry a kerosene lamp and have corresponding identification."

"5) Follow the dormitory manager's instructions; he will take you out of the dormitory building."

"3. There is a kerosene lamp on the table in the dormitory manager's office. Only those with 'dormitory manager' status are allowed to use this kerosene lamp."

"For details regarding the dormitory supervisor's status, please read the 'Dormitory Supervisor's Code of Conduct'."

"As long as you follow the above rules, you can have a safe environment in the dormitory management office."

"Good luck!】"

Immediately afterwards, Kuai Hongji picked up the notebook again.

Interestingly, the cover of the notebook reads "Dormitory Management Rules," but only the first few pages can be opened; the rest is fastened with a small clasp.

Kuai Hongji was not surprised at all, and slowly opened the "Dormitory Management Rules":

Dormitory Management Rules:

"1. Only one person is allowed to be the dormitory manager in a dormitory room."

"2. If there is only one person in the dormitory room at present, then this person is the dormitory manager;

"3. If there are two or more people staying in the dormitory room at the moment, one person must be selected as the dormitory manager before 24:00 at the latest. In addition, the person who becomes the dormitory manager must be able to withstand the light of the kerosene lamp."

"Whenever anyone holds a kerosene lamp, they must visualize the image of an angel sculpture in their mind and count to 30 silently. If the image of the angel sculpture does not change within 30 seconds, they are qualified to become a dormitory supervisor; otherwise, they are not."

"If none of the above conditions can be met, then the dormitory manager shall be selected by themselves."

"【Note: A dormitory manager must be selected before midnight!!!】"

"4. The dormitory supervisor's ID card is located under the kerosene lamp. Insert the corresponding student ID card into it and wear it on your chest. Tie the matching chain around your waist. Finally, pick up the kerosene lamp, and you will become the dormitory supervisor."

"Upon becoming a dormitory supervisor, please open this guide and read the appendix. Our school will not be held responsible for any actions taken by anyone who reads the appendix before obtaining their 'dormitory supervisor' status!"

After reading this part of the "Dormitory Management Rules", Kuai Hongji did not rush to unbutton his clothes, but first glanced at the clock on the table.

The clock showed 22:17. The whole process was actually very smooth, except that burning the prison bully man probably took a few extra minutes.

While Kuai Hongji was reading the two rules, the entire dormitory room was deathly silent. The remaining five people didn't dare to breathe, their eyes filled with fear of the unknown and death as they looked at Kuai Hongji.

That unknown flame instantly reduced a burly man to ashes.

Is such terrifying power truly something that humans could possess?

Moreover, Kuai Hongji's disregard for life and his behavior, which defied all common sense, made them extremely uneasy, as if they were facing not a person, but a gaunt demon who had returned from hell.

"Hang it back up."

Kuai Hongji casually tossed the "Dormitory Management Rules" sign at the man whose palm was burned. The man didn't react in time, and the sign hit him before falling to his feet.

The person paused for a moment.

“Pick up the sign.” Kuai Hongji’s voice was cold, as if he were talking to the dust on the ground. “...Then, hang it back up.”
