Dormitory Rules

"Alright, your dorm is Room 301. A reminder, when there's danger, remember to light two candles at once. Oh, and here's a box of matches."

The Dorm Manager handed over a key card and a box of matches.

[Matches]: A common box of matches, can be lit anywhere.

[Key Card]: A common key card, can open the door to Room 301.

"Thank you, Sister Liu," Mu Rufeng said gratefully before turning to walk inside.

The surrounding employees watched, their faces filled with regret.

"Room 301, huh? Too bad it wasn't assigned to me."

"Even though it wasn't assigned to me, it's right next door to him, hehe!"

"Da Tou is lucky to get a dorm to himself."

"Yeah, yeah. Da Tou isn't back yet, right? Let's wait for him and let him leave us some flesh and blood."

"The taste of the living is truly unforgettable."

"To be fair, that guy made a lot of money at the vending machine."

"Right, he bought so many candles. It's going to be a bit difficult to take him down tonight."

"Da Tou, I think it's doubtful. I'm afraid the Dorm Manager will benefit."

The sky outside had already turned dark, but since it wasn't yet dinner time, the roadside streetlights prevented Scarlet Logistics Park from being completely black.

Even inside the dormitory building, there were dim lights, allowing people to see their way.

There were many employees in the dormitory building. As Mu Rufeng walked along, he felt uncomfortable being stared at by them, though he wasn't afraid.

Mu Rufeng reached the third floor and stood in the hallway.

He looked left and right, finding both sides shrouded in darkness, with light only entering from the balconies at the ends of the corridors, cast by the streetlights outside.

It appeared quite eerie and terrifying.

Room 301 was located at the far left end of the third floor of the dormitory building.

Mu Rufeng followed the corridor to the end.

During his walk, several eerie employees, hidden in the darkness, stared at Mu Rufeng without a word.

If it were the old Mu Rufeng, he would have been scared out of his wits.

Mu Rufeng stood before the door of Room 301.

Next to Room 301 was Room 303, and across the hall was Room 302.

He glanced at the balcony again and saw that it was also sealed with iron bars.

Mu Rufeng took out the key card, inserted it into the lock, and turned gently. The door opened with a click.

The room was pitch black; one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.

Mu Rufeng immediately felt along the wall.

He soon found a switch and pressed it directly.

With a "click," the old light bulb turned on, emitting an orange glow.

The room wasn't large. There were two beds against the walls on each side.

In the center was a dust-covered square table.

At the far end of the room, there was a door and a window.

The window was boarded up with wood and covered with red cloth, sealed tightly.

If he guessed correctly, the door led to a small balcony, and to the right of the balcony was the toilet.

It was a standard dormitory room. By real-world standards, the conditions were quite luxurious.

"I don't like the light on, turn it off," a voice suddenly said.

Mu Rufeng was slightly startled. He looked over and saw that someone was sitting on the bed on the left side of the room, though he didn't know when they had gotten there.

And it was an acquaintance – the Bandage Girl, completely wrapped in bandages.

"No rush, I'll pick a bed first," Mu Rufeng said with a smile, then casually closed the door.

"Which of these beds are free?" Mu Rufeng asked.

"The one next to you, and this one are free," the Bandage Girl said.

Mu Rufeng surveyed the two beds. One was the bed to the right of the entrance; it had a mattress and nothing else.

The second was the bed on the left, near the balcony; it also had a mattress, but it was covered with many miscellaneous items, including clothes.

"Then I'll take this one," Mu Rufeng said decisively, sitting down on the bed to the right.

Just then, the Bandage Girl reached out and pointed behind Mu Rufeng.

Mu Rufeng was slightly taken aback and immediately turned his head to look.

He noticed that some text had appeared on the wall behind him at some point.

[Dormitory Rules]

1. Please remain quiet. 2. Do not leave the dormitory between 7 PM and 5 AM. 3. Please try not to turn on the lights in the dormitory. 4. After the lights are turned off, remember to lock the door. 5. If someone knocks on the door, do not open it under any circumstances, even if it is the Dorm Manager. 6. Ensure that everyone in the dormitory is your roommate. If not, you may throw them off the balcony. 7. It is absolutely safe when there are no outsiders in the dormitory.

"Huh?" Mu Rufeng was slightly taken aback. It was the dormitory rules.

"Thanks," Mu Rufeng said to the Bandage Girl.

"Can I turn off the lights now?" the Bandage Girl asked.

"Of course, no problem," Mu Rufeng stood up and turned off the light directly.

The entire room plunged into darkness once more.

The darkness did not affect Mu Rufeng at all.

However, darkness was a great advantage for zombies.

"Right, I saw that bunk bed. There should be another roommate, right?" Mu Rufeng asked the Bandage Girl.

"Mm," the Bandage Girl replied, lying back down on the bed.

"What kind of work do you do?" Mu Rufeng asked again.

The Bandage Girl had hidden her work ID within her bandages, so Mu Rufeng didn't know her job title or name.

"Please follow the rules and remain quiet," the Bandage Girl replied.

"Sorry, sorry," Mu Rufeng apologized and fell silent.

In the dark environment, Mu Rufeng felt sleepy.

He had already been exhausted from a full day before entering this dungeon world.

Now, after working hard here for another day, he was truly tired.

However, before falling asleep, Mu Rufeng remembered something, immediately got up, and then directly deadbolted the door.

"There's still one roommate who hasn't returned. I deadbolted the door, should be okay, right?" Mu Rufeng asked the Bandage Girl.

"No problem. That guy hasn't been back to the dorm for days anyway. Maybe he'll die outside tonight." The Bandage Girl paused for a moment before finally responding to Mu Rufeng.

Since it was okay, Mu Rufeng no longer worried.

He then lay down on the mattress and fell fast asleep.

After a short while, Mu Rufeng's steady breathing could be heard.

In the darkness, the Bandage Girl slowly turned over, facing Mu Rufeng.

The eye beneath the bandages stared intently at Mu Rufeng, and the scene suddenly became eerie and terrifying.

Time slowly passed, and it was already seven o'clock.

Seven o'clock was precisely the time dinner ended.

All the lights were extinguished.

At this moment, Scarlet Preferred was completely devoid of any light.

The moonlight in the sky was also obscured by thick fog, plunging the world into complete darkness.
