Chapter 656 [Appendix] of "The Rules of the Dormitory Manager"
The man was stunned, but he immediately thought of something under the stimulation of the desire to survive. Then he picked up the sign from the ground with great fear, pushed the door open with sweat on his back, hung it outside, then immediately closed the door again and returned to the dormitory room.
After doing all this, he half lowered his head and looked at Kuai Hongji with fear from the corner of his eye. He was afraid and wanted to know if Kuai Hongji would kill him.
Kuai Hongji did not look at him again, but leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes, as if he was taking a nap.
To these people, Kuai Hongji didn't even think of saying a word.
Kuai Hongji glanced at the pendulum clock on the wall, silently waiting for the passage of time.
In the dead silence of the dormitory room, only the sound of the pendulum clock "ticking, ticking, ticking..." was left, as well as the extremely restrained breathing sounds of other people.
Finally, the time reached 22:20.
Kuai Hongji walked unhurriedly to the old kerosene lamp on the table, lifted the old kerosene lamp aside, took out the dormitory manager's ID card underneath, and put his student ID card into it.
At this point, Kuai Hongji became "Su Guan-14-X0230506094".
He pinned the ID tag to his chest, bent down and picked up the chain from the ground, and put a buckle on his waist like a belt, leaving a tail trailing on the ground, making a "clatter" sound as he moved.
Then, he held the old kerosene lamp.
While he was holding the old kerosene lamp, the four people in the dormitory room and the man who hung the "Boardmaster Room Rules" notice board at the door looked at Kuai Hongji cautiously.
Obviously, even though Kuai Hongji exuded a strange sense of oppression, they were still very curious as to whether the guy in front of them met the requirements of the "House Management Code" and "can withstand the light of a kerosene lamp."
At the same time, the flame in the old kerosene lamp suddenly swayed, and it seemed like something was about to come out of the shadow of the light.
And Kuai Hongji's soul seemed to be dragged into some kind of boundless darkness at this moment. In the darkness, there was a smiling angel hiding his face and crying.
This smiling angel kept approaching Kuai Hongji, as if he wanted to kill him.
However, just when the Laughing Angel had just gotten closer to Kuai Hongji, its body was ignited as if spontaneously combusting... [Howling——]
The Laughing Angel screamed and retreated into the darkness, and the boundless black tide quietly retreated from Kuai Hongji.
"Rules of the Hostel [Appendix]:"
"After becoming the Hostel, you will enjoy the authority of "Housewarder" and have the chain of order given by the kerosene lamp. At the same time, you need to strictly perform the following tasks: "
"1. The dormitory manager must leave the dormitory room between 22:20 and 24:00."
"2. After leaving, you will find the route back to the dormitory corridor. Follow this route and patrol the entire floor."
"During this process, if you find that the dormitory corridor under your feet is twisted, or the entire dormitory begins to turn upside down, don't panic. This is normal."
"3. If the light of the kerosene lamp becomes strong, you need to stop and enter the nearby dormitory to inspect. "During the inspection, take corresponding countermeasures according to the following situations:"
"1) If the dormitory window is opened, close it. When the window is closed, it is prohibited to look out the window or the mirror of the washstand next to the window;"
"2) If there are some incomprehensible creatures in the dormitory, such as human-shaped sculptures and crawling mud-like substances, please hold a kerosene lamp high, and the light will disperse them."
h If you find a lost unit during the inspection, approach him and observe him with a kerosene lamp. At the same time, confirm his identity and perform the following actions based on his identity: "
"1) If he does not act strange until you approach him and does not show discomfort with the kerosene lamp, you can basically determine that the other person is a human being. Otherwise, he will escape. If such a situation occurs, ignore it. "
"2) Further judgment, if he is a lost experience student and has a student ID card, ask him to close his eyes and grab your chain, and follow you. After you complete the inspection, take him into the dormitory room;" , take it to the elevator and send it to the Art Building. "
"Note: The instructions for getting to and from the Art Building are as follows. Please strictly follow the steps below. If you have any questions, you can take them out and compare them during the action: "
"Find the elevator room and call the elevator to the corresponding floor through the button."
"After entering the elevator, open the red cover and press the button. The elevator will move at fixed points and irregular lines on the track. You need to stay in the elevator and wait until the elevator stops at the Art Building before you can leave the elevator."
"You will see a completely different world. Don't panic or be afraid. Follow the guidance of the kerosene lamp. , you will arrive at the art office (you may move back and forth on the stone bridge during this period, so you don’t have to feel confused and confused) "
"Before you arrive at the door of the art office, knock on the door and explain your purpose, wait until the person is handed over to the art teacher, and then return to the elevator along the same path."
"Press the button, enter the elevator, and return to the dormitory building."
“5. If during the inspection, the incandescent lights in the corridor that were originally extinguished suddenly start to flicker, and strange, incomprehensible chanting begins to appear in the corridor, you need to immediately abandon all actions currently being performed and enter the nearest dormitory until the chanting disappears from your mind.”
6. During the inspection, do not interrupt your behavior due to the appearance of any foreign objects, and do not enter any door other than the dormitory, including but not limited to the sudden appearance of stairwells, elevators, and dormitory rooms. "
"7. After inspecting all the dormitories in the corridor, you can choose to continue the inspection based on your feeling, or you can choose to return to the dormitory management room immediately."
"If you choose to stay in the corridor, then return to the dormitory management room when the corridor lights are on (i.e. 6:00) at the latest."
“After returning to the dormitory room, you can choose to give up your status as a “dormitor” and leave the dormitory room immediately, and then leave the dormitory building in accordance with the "Residence Hall Rules", or you can choose to become a long-term dormitory manager. "
"If you choose to be a long-term dormitory manager, you need to follow the instructions for traveling to and from the Art Building in Rule 4 after inspecting all the dormitories. When the elevator arrives at the library, leave the elevator and enter the library."
"You will see the "Library Rules", abide by the " Library Rules" Wait for the security guard to appear, and follow the security guard to leave the library and return to the campus."
“[Attention!!!]: If you find that the light is on the verge of extinguishing when holding the kerosene lamp, then whether you choose to become a long-term dormitory or not, you need to implement the behavioral logic of going to the library!!!”

At the end of the "Guardian's Code", there is a line of text that seems to be written by someone's hand:
"Power itself is not terrible, what is terrible is the greed and desire in the heart. The light and flame are always there, but those who chase the light in the fog will eventually become an phantom."
With a brief glance, Kuai Hongji closed the "House Manager Code" and stuffed it into his pocket.
Then, carrying an old kerosene lamp, he slowly walked to the door of the dormitory room.
The man who had just hung up the sign immediately backed away in fear.
Kuai Hongji didn’t even look at him twice and pushed the door open directly.
「Peng!」
The door of the dormitory room was closed.
Until this moment, other people in the dormitory room dared to exhale and swallowed deeply.
But soon, after the old kerosene lamp was taken away by Kuai Hongji, the already dim light in the dormitory room couldn't help but become even dimmer. The light of the incandescent lamp was invisibly compressed, and the walls that still existed suddenly squirmed into illusory mist.
The person who was still at the door shivered violently as if he suddenly thought of something, and then jumped to the nearest sofa, curled up on the sofa, and tried his best to hug himself into a ball, wishing that he could shrink into the sofa...
…
X May 11, 2023, 22:26, 14th floor of the dormitory building.
After leaving the dormitory room, Kuai Hongji quickly left the corner and returned to the corridor of the dormitory building.
After the lights were completely turned off, the corridors of the dormitory building were filled with a strangely dense fog. This fog kept wandering in the closed corridors of the dormitory building, just like the female prostitutes posing at the entrance of Yihongyuan to solicit business.
The entire corridor was eerily quiet, with only the chain that was dragged from Kuai Hongji's waist to the ground making "clattering" and "clanging" sounds from the constant collisions.
Kuai Hongji inspected the dormitories one by one. Since they had been "warned" by him before, the dummies and nocturnal species on this floor were much more restrained and all shrunk to the vicinity of Dormitory 1430, which was the furthest away from Dormitory 1414.
When Kuai Hongji passed by carrying an old kerosene lamp, there were also some weird units that only had instinct and huddled in the corner.
Time passed quietly, and the corridor of the dormitory building under Kuai Hongji gradually began to become twisted. The road under his feet gradually seemed to extend to the side wall.
The entire dormitory building's corridors suddenly began to squirm like the spasming entrails of a giant beast. The rules of gravity seemed to be changing, and the rotation of the corridors was like a scene in Inception.
After walking out a few steps, Kuai Hongji’s foothold became the original ceiling of the corridor.
The light of the incandescent lamp shines up from below him, and combined with the light and shadow of the kerosene lamp, he looks like a ghost boy holding a lantern to express condolences to his ancestors in a desolate cemetery.
Obviously all this seems normal, but no matter what, there is still an indescribable sense of weirdness and horror.
…
At 23:03, the old kerosene lamp in Kuai Hongji's hand suddenly became brighter. He felt something and looked at the dormitory next to him.
The entire dormitory building has actually turned upside down at this moment. Kuai Hongji, holding a lamp, is standing on the ceiling, as if he is in a world from Inception.
The downward gravity acts on the ceiling. In this cage-like corridor, it is difficult to distinguish whether the dormitory building is rotating out of thin air, or whether the gravity is quietly changing upward.
Kuai Hongji came to the door of the dormitory and glanced at the house number.
1423.
He grabbed the door handle, and the "House Manager" ID card seemed to float with wisps of light, and then a series of "click-click-click" sound from the amplifier sounded inside the door.
Not long after, the door of the dormitory was opened.
Kuai Hongji slowly opened the door.
The soft light squeezed into the dormitory along the crack of the door like bubbles, illuminating everything in the dormitory.
As soon as he entered the door, Kuai Hongji could feel the cold water vapor permeating the dormitory. The source of the water vapor came from the window next to the washstand. The window was opened halfway, and the gloomy atomized water vapor was crushed by the strong wind and poured into the dormitory. It blew the toiletries on the washstand rolling around and made a terrifying sound.
There are three people sleeping in this six-person dormitory, and three beds are empty, but judging from the things on display, it seems that five people were originally living there.
And none of these three people fell asleep - who could fall asleep in such a gloomy and drafty environment?
They were naturally awake, but they still strictly abided by the "dormitory rules" and carefully hugged their shivering bodies and pretended to be asleep.
In addition, there is some sticky substance on the edge of the window, like the traces left by some super-large slugs crawling out of the mud.
The mark extends from the window sill to the floor - of course, the floor has now been turned into a ceiling.
Kuai Hongji raised his head naturally and saw a large mass of pitch-black solid-liquid-mixed substance, curled up on top of his head like a sarcoma. He did not dare to make any unnecessary moves because he was afraid of the light of the old kerosene lamp.
There was still some sticky substance left on the beds of these three people, as if this black thing had been lying on their bodies before, and it was not until Kuai Hongji entered the door that he quickly escaped and escaped to the top.
With the appearance of Kuai Hongji, these dirty things slowly wriggled closer to the window, seeming to want to escape from the window.
Kuai Hongji looked at everything in front of him indifferently. He would not let these dirty things leave so easily, so he gently reached out and wiped the shade of the old kerosene lamp.
