Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 809 The Haunted Dormitory 16

Mrs. Xu nodded: "Xiaoqing, I'll pray for the children with you."

"it is good."

The security department monitoring Ms. Xu's phone also immediately began investigating the source of the text message signal.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find the location. They finally found a clue, but couldn't find it again, leaving everyone very disappointed.

However, the text message sent by Xu Siyao also proved one thing: the place they were in was probably not that safe.

Xu Siyao walked into an old, round building that exuded a strong sense of life.

Looking up, I saw houses all around, densely packed, with each door right next to the other, making me feel very cramped.

The arched balcony corridor, serving as an open public area, is filled with kitchen utensils and miscellaneous items from various households, leaving only a small passageway.

No sunlight shone through the courtyard, making the whole building look a bit eerie.

When she looked up, she saw many people walking in from outside.

It seems that in the second trial of the training grounds, everyone was not completely separated; there were many people in one area, which may lead to competition later on.

As Xu Siyao was thinking, she heard someone call her name.

"Siyao." Zhang Siyu saw her and walked over in surprise.

There was another person following behind her, and Zhao Lu was there too.

"Looks like we can keep each other company this time."

Zhang Siyu took Xu Siyao's arm and said happily, "We really got grouped together this time. There are so many people in the second round!"

"There are already twenty or thirty people, and it looks like they're not all here yet." Zhao Lu stood next to the two of them, counting the number of people.

"There are quite a lot of people, and many of them are acquaintances."

Xu Siyao looked at Chen Na who walked in, and Ji Yan also came here.

When Ji Yan saw her, he walked over and said, "We're grouped together again. We're really destined to be together."

"Mm." Xu Siyao nodded slightly.

"It's quite a coincidence that you ran into Siyao twice," Zhang Siyu said with a smile.

Zhao Lu had already counted to 1, fifty people, and suggested, "With so many people, there must be many who want to stick together. We can form a team."

No one objected; teaming up with familiar people was always better than teaming up with strangers.

Chen Na glanced at the group from a distance but didn't come over.

She knew that she didn't get along well with her roommates and was used to being alone.

"Count me in too?" A laughing voice suddenly interrupted.

The group turned around and saw that it was a classmate from the same department, Yeltsin, whom Zhang Siyu had mentioned earlier.

"Sure, we'll accept anyone except those with ill intentions for now, what do you say?"

Zhang Siyu said with a smile, and then shook Xu Siyao's hand.

Xu Siyao nodded: "Okay, I have no objection."

"me too."

Seeing her express her opinion, Ji Yan naturally followed suit. They were all from the same department, but he was the only one who was familiar with Xu Siyao.

Zhao Lu naturally had no objections. Seeing so many people this time, she knew that having more people meant they wouldn't be targeted at will.

Yeltsin lowered his voice, deliberately not wanting others to hear, and looked at Xu Siyao and said, "That's great, it's really an honor to be in a team with the first place."

"How did you know?" Zhang Siyu asked in surprise, as she had never told anyone Siyao's nickname.

Yeltsin didn't speak, he just smiled.

Zhao Lu said helplessly, "He probably wasn't completely sure at first, so he was testing the waters, but you inadvertently gave yourself away and exposed Xu Siyao."

Zhang Siyu glared at Ye Liqin: "Well, Ye Liqin, you're quite the schemer."

"No, no, it's not really sinister, I just had a guess."

After saying that, he looked at Ji Yan and asked, "Are you second place?"

I guessed that the first place was Xu Siyao, partly because of her name, and partly because of her relationship with Zhang Siyu.

In the first round last time, I was grouped with Zhang Siyu. They came out together. I came in fifth place and Zhang Siyu came in sixth.

Now that it's confirmed that Xu Siyao is in first place by a wide margin, and the second-place "Pancake Dog" sounds like a man.

There was only one other man in the group besides himself, which is why he asked the question.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yan simply smiled and said, "Guess."

Xu Siyao looked at Yeltsin and remembered that he had excellent grades.

He usually has a smile on his face, just like a smiling fox; he seems easy to talk to but is actually very clever.

Noticing her gaze, Ji Yan spoke again: "You're from a country ranked fifth, so why don't you protect waste?"

Yeltsin could guess their identities by combining details, and so could he.

It was raining heavily in the chat lobby. Someone had spoken for Xu Siyao, and it was obviously Zhang Siyu.

Zhang Siyu and Yeltsin seemed to have some tacit understanding and familiarity, so I guessed that they were grouped together in the previous round.

Yeltsin laughed: "Hahaha, you guessed it. You didn't deny what I said earlier, so my guess must be correct."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yan remained noncommittal, thinking that having more smart people in the team was always better than having fewer stupid ones.

"Stop chatting, someone's coming." Xu Siyao looked at the person coming down from upstairs.

Everyone looked over, and those who had been talking all fell silent and stared at the newcomer.

The man who arrived was an old man with white hair, who looked to be over seventy years old. It was impossible to tell whether he was a human or a ghost.

He slowly walked downstairs and stood in front of everyone, first looking them all over.

Then, he slowly said, "You can choose any room upstairs, but only one person can stay in each household. The rules for staying are posted on each floor; you can check them yourself."

After saying that, the old man disappeared before anyone could react.

"Where is he? He's gone!"

"Never mind, let's go up first."

"Do I really want to live alone? Won't it be haunted?"

"We've seen all the weird stuff, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Check-in rules, well, those must be the rules of the game, right?"

"Let's hurry up and find a place to stay first."

Xu Siyao and the others also went upstairs like everyone else.

The entire tenement building has sixteen floors, but there is no elevator, so you have to climb the stairs.

Zhang Siyu held her hand and said, "Siyao, I don't want to live alone either. It feels a bit scary at night, but the old man said so, so I have to listen to him."

"You can stay next door to me, it's close by, so don't worry," Xu Siyao reassured her.

"Yeah, let's all stay close together."

Ji Yan walked ahead and saw that most of the people were on the second and third floors looking at the rules.

He climbed straight up to the fourth floor and stood in front of the wall where the check-in rules were posted.

"Come quick, look! This rule is a bit problematic."

Upon hearing this, the group quickened their pace and walked up to the wall, where they saw a piece of paper pasted on it.

The first row at the top has a dozen or so large characters that say: "Strictly abide by the check-in rules, or you will be responsible for the consequences."
