"I know, but I need to verify a hypothesis. You don't need to follow me." Li Mo said calmly, took a deep breath, and before No. 3 could catch up, he pushed open the door and walked out.

The door was closed decisively by Li Mo, not giving anyone else a chance to walk together.

The dormitory instantly became a mess. Number Three paced back and forth. She had finally confirmed that Li Mo was a real living person and that they could rely on and trust each other. Now that Li Mo was dead, what should she do?

How could she, an ordinary person, possibly engage in intrigue with those evil creatures?

"It's over! How did he break the rules? What if he dies? We won't be able to get out!" Number Three was very anxious. Now that Number One was dead, Number Four and Number Five both had problems. They might not be human. Mei was as ignorant as herself.

A male voice came from the phone: "Baby, I'm outside your dormitory. There are a lot of security guards outside your dormitory, and they are carrying guns. What happened?"

Number Three replied irritably, "Not yet, but soon!"

Li Mo walked into the corridor and looked back, but he could not see anything in the dormitory, only darkness.

The dormitory can protect humans and keep ghosts out, so ghosts need to disguise themselves as dormitory managers to call the roll and identify the living people inside.

The lights in the corridor were obviously broken even from the dormitory.

Why did No. 4 have a strange reaction? Why didn't No. 5 die last night after breaking the rules, but No. 1 in her lower bunk died instead?

Li Mo had a guess in his heart, and this guess needed to be confirmed.

There was no sound in the dark and gloomy corridor, which was long and quiet. Li Mo walked deeper into the corridor step by step and found the second piece of paper next to the toilet at the end.

The world seen by the living and the dead is completely different. The dead can deceive themselves into thinking they are still alive, but the living cannot.

Here are the rules for the dead:

[Rule 1: Don't try to break the dorm's living rules, just so you can deceive yourself into thinking you're still alive.]

Rule 2: Dorm inspections are between 10:30 PM and 11:00 PM. When the dorm manager calls your name at the door or window, remember to respond "Here." The dorm manager will register you as a living person, allowing you to continue deceiving yourself that you're still alive.

Rule Three: You can choose to go out alone.

[Finally, when you see the rules of the dead, you need to disguise yourself as a living person to survive. Shh, don't let anyone find out you're dead. Use the rules to kill all the living people, and no one will notice you're dead...]

"..."

Li Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, and just like last night, he reached out and touched the paper.

The paper stretched out, and an extra sentence appeared: [It's hard to believe that you're still alive.]

Looking at the paper filled with rules for the dead, Li Mo's thoughts were confirmed. The dormitory was governed by rules for the living, and the dead disguised as the living did not have to abide by them.

When No. 5 and No. 4 came back, No. 5 was no longer a living person, while No. 4 had been lurking in the crowd from the beginning.

"I fell into a misconception before, because I've died, so I thought the paper said one of us had died and was referring to me."

"But she's actually Number Four. She's a dead person disguised as a living person."

"Number Five walked out with the ghost and didn't follow the rules of the living. He became a dead person, so he thought the light in the corridor was not broken."

"Number One will die because Number Five, the person in the bunk above him, became dead when he fell asleep. This is the only rule that will cause immediate death for a living person."

"The rules for the dead to win have already been determined, but what about the rules for the living to win?"

"Could it be...?"

Li Mo remembered the last rule of the living: [I hope we can see each other again tomorrow morning.]

"So the condition for the living to win is to find all the dead and drive the dead out of the living dormitory."

"I just don't know if I'm still alive."

No restart means that I am not dead, but I can see the rules that the dead see.

Li Mo was more inclined to believe that he had become a dead person.

"Maybe I'm just a consciousness now, so I'll call Mei and ask about the outside world."

Li Mo took out his cell phone and called Mei. Although the space was different, the communication equipment did not seem to be interfered with much.

Ghosts can affect electronic devices, but the influence is not comprehensive. As long as you can distinguish the authenticity of the information, there is no need to worry.

The sky outside was still dark, and night followed night without a break.

"Mei, I'm Li Mo. I'm in the corridor outside dormitory 303. I want to know what's going on outside."

Li Mo did not ask Mei to do anything. If it was a ghost, it might try to let Mei into the dormitory, so Li Mo's first sentence must not have the intention of letting Mei in.

However, Mei still came to the dormitory if she wanted to get information, but her excuses were different, and her purpose was the same.

"Li Mo?" Mei seemed very surprised. She was standing beside Li Mo's body at the moment.

Various leaders and investigators were stopped outside, and Mei personally guarded Li Mo's body.

Li Mo: "You seemed confused when you received my call?"

Mei: "Yes, because I have your phone. I'm in the hallway outside dormitory 303, next to your... body."

Li Mo was stunned for a moment: "Corpse?"

Mei: "Yes, you didn't reboot, your body lost all signs of life, and you collapsed in the corridor. There were two other girls in the same situation as you."

Li Mo: "No, there should be three bodies besides me."

Mei: "You're right, but one of them was just a skeleton, with all the blood drained out of it."

Li Mo: "I see. I think I understand. This time the weirdness isn't a ghost, but a strange phenomenon. Mei, kill the real me."

"It's difficult for me to solve this strange phenomenon. I can only delay it. Call Alicia."

Mei: "...Okay, be safe."

After hanging up the phone, Mei took out a real pistol and put the black muzzle against Li Mo's heart. With a flash of hot fire, a bloody hole was made in Li Mo's chest.

Li Mo in the corridor suddenly knelt on the ground and fell down.

When he woke up again, he was back in the dormitory and was about to open the door to leave.

"Sure enough, Restart also determined that it was safe before I went out." Li Mo muttered to himself.

Number Three's reminder came from behind: "Hey, Li Mo! You can't go out alone!"

Li Mo stepped back and said, "Yeah."

After saying "hmm", Li Mo walked straight to No. 4 and No. 5. After restarting, he was a living person, but he also learned the rules of the dead.

"Aren't you going to be honest? Number Four is already dead, and there's also Number Five."

Li Mo stared calmly, took out the gun from his waist and pointed it at No. 4's forehead.

This action stunned No. 3 and Mei.

"You, what are you talking about? We are alive and well, why are you suddenly cursing us to death?" Number Five and Number Four took a step back.

Li Mo stopped procrastinating and said bluntly: "You are already dead. Is it meaningful to deceive yourself into thinking you are still alive? Or do you want to kill the remaining living people so that you can live?"

"us……"

"Hey, Li Mo, what happened? Why do you say they are dead? Aren't they still in front of us?" Number Three was puzzled.

"The dormitory rules are for the living to follow. The dead don't have to follow them. If a living person breaks the rules, they will become a dead person and then see the rules for the dead. By killing all the living people through the rules, you can survive."

"I think what I said is correct, but I don't know whether you haven't realized it, or...you have realized it but still want to keep living."

"I've seen the rules of the dead. You don't have to hide anymore."

Li Mo's cold words were as sharp as the muzzle of a gun. The expressions of No. 4 and No. 5 were no longer hesitant, but replaced by ferocious faces.

"It's all your fault for bringing it here! If it weren't for it, we wouldn't be dead. Is it wrong to want to live? Do we deserve to die?"

"boom!"

Li Mo quickly fired and killed one person.

"Nonsense, if you don't die, do you want me to die? I'm too lazy to explain to you, and you don't deserve to listen."

Li Mo rushed to the remaining dead person in an instant, and before the other party could react, he made a small hole in her crown.

The problem was solved very easily without any pressure.

After all, it's just a derivative, it will die if killed, so it's easy to deal with it without any rules.

"..."

No. 3 and Mei looked at the two bloody corpses on the ground, covered their mouths, and tried their best to suppress the feeling of nausea.

"Turn your backs, and you'll be out of this damn place soon."

Li Mo said calmly: "Next, all we have to do is wait."

In reality——

In a shop selling women's clothing, a pink-haired girl fluttered among the flowers and plants like a butterfly, her face full of joy and a smile.

"This one looks great, and that one looks great too... Hmm... How about buying them both?"

"No, no, no, Mei will definitely call me a spendthrift, but Mei listens to him very much. I'll just act cute when the time comes, and he'll agree~"

"Boss! Pack all of these up!"

The man called "boss" was dressed strangely, wearing a silver-white mask and a black hooded windbreaker. Although he was indoors, he was still holding a black umbrella.

It looked carefully at the girl in front of it, and its deep red eyes became brighter.

"No problem, Ellie...Miss Xia." Gray Snake said truthfully.

Alicia walked out of the shop contentedly, carrying a lot of bags, completely unaware that on a rooftop, Kevin with an expressionless face was watching her every move.

"Lord..."

"Let's go back."

"she……"

"She is not Alicia, although she looks very similar. Her personality, appearance, behavior, habits, and powers are exactly the same."

"But Alicia is dead. There won't be another Alicia in this world."

Kevin turned his back and never looked back.

He had verified countless times that in the endless world bubbles and parallel universes, Alicia had always chosen to sacrifice herself for humanity without exception.

Although he couldn't explain why a living Alicia appeared in the Eigenworld.

"My Lord, Miss Alicia also mentioned Mei."

"...Continue to observe." Kevin said helplessly.

Alicia was still strolling innocently through the streets and alleys, humming a little tune.

Until Mei called and urged: "I've sent the address to your phone, please reply quickly."

After glancing at the address on her phone, Alicia sighed, "Okay, Alicia, my vacation is over early."

Alicia seemed to want to emphasize her name and followed the address to Qianyu Academy.

Mei asked angrily, "You finally decided to come back and clean up this place. Li Mo's consciousness is trapped inside."

"Mei, you're still so serious. Smile more. You're so pretty, and I'll lose motivation if you keep a straight face all the time."

Mei rolled her eyes at Alicia and gently kicked her calf: "Hurry up, or I'll cancel your vacation this year if you delay any longer."

"Hey, hey, hey? Mei, how could you do this..."

"Okay, leave the rest to Alicia!"

The crowd around was all dispersed. Alicia smiled sweetly, and her modern style dress suddenly changed into a white dress like a wedding gown. A fragile yet beautiful crystal ring condensed behind her, and a huge manta ray emerged out of thin air.

Alicia held up her staff, a brilliant light surrounding her.

"Bright light, illuminating the earth!"

In the dormitory, which was enclosed in an independent space, an extremely dazzling light suddenly burst out from outside the window.

Li Mo: "It's time to leave here."

The notebook that was locked in the dark room suddenly opened to the fifth page.

Unlike the old and worn-out first page, the fifth page was as brand new and neat as if it had just been published, and it exuded a variety of fragrant floral scents.

The handwriting that emerged was beautiful and neat...

[Alicea is dead. Alicea is dead.]

[Alicea is dead. Alicea is dead.]
