Boys' Dormitory, 503.
After confirming that Jiu Ming had successfully entered 801, Bai Zhi lowered his simple binoculars, a thoughtful look on his face.
Although he did not know exactly what had happened over on Jiu Ming's side, judging from her strange behavior ever since she reached the eighth floor, he had more or less guessed part of it.
