Chapter 427: Chapter 393: Xue Ding’e’s Trick

"However, I still have to thank Xin Yi for speaking up."

Jiang Xiao didn’t really care, but the rest of the chosen ones could be said to have escaped disaster because of this.

Jiang Xiao’s mood finally eased a bit after returning to the dormitory.

He pushed open the door, and a warm fragrance hit him.

The atmosphere in the dormitory was very lively, with several roommates sitting together, each one grinning as if they had thrown off the fatigue of the day.

"Xiaoxiao, come on, we’re sharing some snacks!"

One of the roommates called out to him, holding a specialty snack brought from home.

"Pork sheets! What do you think? You can’t find these at the school store."

"Authentic Northeast frozen pears! Don’t mind how they look; they’re really tasty, sent by my uncle from the north!"

"Hehehe, Brother Xiao, try these cookies. Twist, lick, soak~"

Jiang Xiao: ....

How did an ordinarily serious cookie sound different when spoken by Wang Qiang?

Jiang Xiao smiled slightly, not offended, and walked over to join them.

They took turns opening their packages, showcasing their "spoils."

You pull out crunchy eggs, I squeeze out creamy milk, he pinches out purple grapes.

There were all kinds of diverse snacks, and everyone eagerly shared their own brought delicacies, afraid of being outdone by the others, with an air filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Jiang Xiao lay on his bed, savoring a taste he had never felt before.

He didn’t have a blanket; fortunately, Wang Qiang had brought two and lent him one, or else he would have had to sleep on the hard board.

Time quietly passed amidst the laughter, and before they knew it, the dormitory clock had already pointed to 11:10.

Suddenly, the noise in the dormitory abruptly stopped, and a strange silence swiftly descended.

Jiang Xiao looked up to see his roommates one by one stop their movements, their smiles disappeared, turning their expressions vacant and stiff.

They mechanically stood up, silently cleaned up the snacks, and then each went to their own bed, lay down, covered themselves with blankets, and closed their eyes.

The whole dormitory area seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, everyone entering dreamland at the same time.

Not just their dormitory, the entire dorm building instantly quieted down.

Jiang Xiao frowned; this sudden change left him at a loss.

He looked around, trying to find an unusual clue, when suddenly his nose caught a strange smell, a pungent scent mixed with metal and chemicals.

"Strange, there was no such smell just now."

At the same time, such a smell shouldn’t exist in the dormitory.

He quietly sat up from the bed and cautiously walked to the window, trying to find the source of the smell, but the outside night was as dark as ink, and he couldn’t see anything.

"No, this smell isn’t man-made, seems like it just appeared out of nowhere?"

Walking to Wang Qiang’s bed.

"Sorry buddy, who made you my closest friend~"

Saying this, Jiang Xiao didn’t hesitate any longer and slapped him twice across the face.

’crack’ (￣ε(#￣)

’crack’ (￣#)з￣)

Sound asleep, there was no reaction at all.

Seeing the handprint swelling quickly on Wang Qiang’s face, Jiang Xiao realized this state probably couldn’t be broken by human force.

"A burnt smell?"

A scent of burning drifted from nowhere, but Jiang Xiao couldn’t find a thing burning in any corner of the room.

"Also, the smell of cooked meat, not normal meat, but..."

This smell was somewhat familiar to Jiang Xiao.

Thinking carefully, it must have been something he had smelled near the butcher’s stall in "Mom’s Note."

Meaning, was there human flesh being burnt here?

Hiss?

Weird indeed...

Jiang Xiao left the dormitory and wandered through the entire dorm area, but no sign of fire or anything amiss.

When he returned to the dormitory, he noticed a slight change in the expressions of his buddies.

The complexion started to turn iron blue...

Teamed with everyone lying stiffly on their beds.

It really resembled how corpses looked inside coffins.

But clearly, they were still alive, breathing quite evenly.

What did this mean?

Not only Jiang Xiao, but the rest of the chosen ones were also terrified by this scene.

However, most of them were not as bold as Jiang Xiao.

Who would dare to wander around?

One by one, they all buried their heads in the blankets Wang Qiang had provided, like ostriches.

Something was wrong...

It must not be only the boys’ dormitory!

Jiang Xiao got dressed and left the boys’ dorm building.

Given his personality, he really should have ignored such matters, but he couldn’t bear to see Wang Qiang and the others in distress.

From the beginning, this school had given him a "Schrodinger’s creepy" feeling.

You could say it was creepy, as everyone seemed quite normal.

If you said it was normal, however, everyone seemed to suddenly go mad at times...

Indeed...

It wasn’t just the boys’ dormitory.

The entire campus had a strange smell.

But it wasn’t the fishy, rotten smell of eeriness, instead, it was a very pungent chemical odor.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xiao had not studied much and let alone chemical substances, he could not recognize what it was.

So, he could only wander aimlessly like a headless fly.

"Huh?"

Up ahead, there was an unexpected figure.

Xin Yi?

Her body was stiff, her gaze vacant, much like a large puppet jerked by strings.

Her movements...

So strange?

If it were an ordinary person, they might have run away at encountering such a peculiar situation.

Regrettably, this person was Jiang Xiao.

"Hey, Tiger Tank, what are you doing here?"

In response to Jiang Xiao’s question, Xin Yi acted as if she hadn’t heard, continuing to circle around the boys’ dorm, and the movements she made... Jiang Xiao just found it very weird.

It was like... her hands were cupping something...

Uh, somewhat like praying or worshiping?

Like the pose of ancient shamans during a blessing, although Jiang Xiao had never seen a shaman either, anyway, Xin Yi’s movements fit his stereotypical image of a shaman.

Having nothing better to do,

Jiang Xiao simply followed her, noticing she circled the boys’ dorm and then went to the girls’ dorm.

Eventually, including the teachers’ residences and academic buildings, all were under her "circles."

"This girl really is sick..."

Jiang Xiao was confused at this moment.

Xin Yi had wandered all night, and he had followed her all night watching.

He had thought he might uncover some secret.

Unexpectedly, before dawn, Xin Yi returned to the girls’ dormitory.

Of course,

Jiang Xiao naturally followed her in, seeing everything he should and shouldn’t have.

He even found Xiao Xue’s dormitory.

Of course, it wasn’t intentional, but Xin Yi focused particularly on Xiao Xue’s dormitory, not only holding the air at the door and scattering it inside but also entering the room.

A luxurious single room.

So to call it a student dormitory, Xiao Xue’s decor could already be described as a villa single room.

Inside, there was even a restroom with wet and dry areas separated.
