The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 933 A Golden Crow (Part 7)
Liu Sheng took out her phone to take a picture.

Strangely, when this scene appeared on the phone, a mosaic blurred out the handprint, as if some force was deliberately concealing this oddity.

Exceptions cannot be logged.

Liu Sheng realized this rule.

[OOC Index: 35%]

Too calm.

What? There's clearly no one here...

Liu Sheng understood instantly.

There's something watching.

But it's too late to feign fear now, so it's better to...

She looked up, gave a cold smile, and glanced at the empty dormitory.

"Trying to drive me crazy? Not so easy."

"This kind of low-level prank? Don't think it can scare me."

She went into the bathroom and washed the blood off her hands.

When she returned, the bloodstains on the switch had disappeared.

Someone is covering it up.

But Liu Sheng didn't pursue the matter further, and simply turned on the computer as if nothing had happened.

With a strained roar, the screen lit up again.

[As expected, it doesn't break down that easily!]

Liu Sheng looked excited and continued to immerse himself in the sea of ​​academic papers on CNKI.

In this way, she gained a considerable understanding of the technological level here.

In general, the application of technology is not as advanced as in her world, or rather, it is a test field fabricated in a higher dimension, but it far surpasses it in the depth of scientific theoretical exploration.

So there are two worlds: one prioritizes application but remains a black box with only a superficial understanding of the underlying principles; the other prioritizes theory but, due to insufficient technical capabilities, lags behind theoretical development and cannot be verified.

Liu Sheng's current studies are bridging this gap.

I only regret that there wasn't enough time to watch it all.

But the "world" can.

I'll browse through it first and save it in my database so you can look at it later.

"You're so kind," Liu Sheng praised sincerely.

She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't realize her roommates had returned until the door clicked open and a chorus of complaints came from inside.

"Tao Tao, you have no idea how miserable we were today!" Lin Yue cried, "We've been getting all sorts of dirty looks from everyone!"

Long Yingxue nodded in agreement: "That's right! But we clearly didn't do anything wrong!"

“Every time the teacher mentions an example, everyone immediately looks at us, as if we were some kind of sinner!”

"I even explained it on the forum, but people just attacked me even more!" Long Yingxue said angrily.

Liu Sheng glanced at the forum page that she had shown him.

It was an anonymous post that directly pointed out that Zheng Qiran's death was related to the rejection of his thesis, and had nothing to do with his roommate.

This kind of post, which is clearly a blatant attempt to cover up the truth, is obviously from someone with eyes to eyes.

Moreover, due to privacy concerns, they cannot post the evidence, which makes them seem even more suspicious. Some even say that they are jealous of Zheng Qiran and are trying to smear him.

"It feels like this is making things worse by trying to explain it," Liu Sheng concluded.

"It's not just making things worse! We were secretly filmed using our phones during the lecture, and the photos were posted on a forum, accusing us of having no remorse!" Lin Yue said angrily. "That post already has thousands of replies!"

“I didn’t expect this either…” Long Yingxue felt very wronged.

Liu Sheng shook his head: "Without proof, who would believe you?"

"How about we put that email up there?" Lin Yue suggested tentatively.

“It’s one thing for us to peek into her email, but it’s another thing to post it publicly,” Liu Sheng said, shaking her head again.

"Sigh, nothing works!" Lin Yue pouted. "So what can we do to get rid of this infamy?"

“We can only wait for time, for the federal police,” Liu Sheng said calmly. “Of course, it’s necessary for us to investigate ourselves, but we haven’t found any clues yet.”

Upon hearing this, the two immediately deflated.

Lin Yue accused, "Tao Tao, you're so calm because you haven't experienced that kind of torment!"

“That’s right, Tao Tao, you’re so unfair! You didn’t come with us! You should have been there for us through thick and thin!” Long Yingxue said.

"Sorry, I have something to do."

Liu Sheng spoke calmly, but her gaze never left the screen.

"Speaking of which, Tao Tao, what are you doing?" Lin Yue asked curiously, leaning closer to look, and exclaimed in surprise, "Are you browsing CNKI?"

Although she hasn't started writing her thesis yet, she still recognizes the basic interface.

"No way? Tao Tao, are you going to betray the organization?" Long Yingxue exclaimed in surprise.

I'm not afraid of sisters giving up together, I'm afraid of sisters suddenly becoming ambitious.

As a result, Liu Sheng's "OOC index" rose directly to 45%, which shows how deeply ingrained He Tao's "academic underachiever" image is in people's minds.

Liu Sheng had to quickly find an excuse.

"I saw that Zheng Qiran was able to get into First Imperial University without taking the entrance exam, so I was thinking... maybe if I work hard, I can do it too?"

She added, "Anyway, it's not easy to find a job with my major... These days, who doesn't know Commonwealth language..."

Unexpectedly, when this reason was given, the two of them were stunned at first, and then burst out laughing.

However, the "OOC index" immediately dropped to 30%.

The results were truly outstanding.

[It seems that He Tao's naivety is deeply ingrained in people's minds, which makes this reason believable.]

Sure enough, Lin Yue immediately said earnestly, "Tao Tao, I always thought you were a dreamer, but I never imagined you were this much of a dreamer! How could that be!" She then changed the subject, "Of course, I'm not trying to discourage you, I just think you need to find a realistic goal..."

“Yes, yes, yes,” Long Yingxue nodded repeatedly, “Don’t impulsively take the postgraduate entrance exam, or you’ll be in trouble if you can’t continue studying.”

Lin Yue added, "And how many people still can't find a job even after getting a master's degree?"

“My cousin is a prime example. She went to graduate school, but now she only earns 3000 federal dollars a month. She regrets it so much.” Long Yingxue cited this example.

Liu Sheng, however, remained naive, saying, "How will I know if I don't try?"

"If Zheng Qiran can do it, so can I!"

Lin Yue and Long Yingxue were speechless.

To be honest, this thought had crossed their minds before, but when they thought about how much effort it would take, they hesitated.

But seeing that He Tao was really engrossed in reading the paper, they exchanged a glance and stopped trying to persuade her.

I quietly went to take a shower and change my clothes, then opened my laptop and, for the first time ever, logged into CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure).

However, after watching for a while, the two of them couldn't hold on any longer.

They climbed into bed early, even earlier than He Tao remembered on a normal day, and even asked Liu Sheng if they could turn off the main light so they could go to sleep.

Liu Sheng agreed and only turned on her own desk lamp.

Before long, long, steady breathing came from the two beds behind me, indicating that they had fallen asleep.

This is the power of knowledge!
Liu Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

I checked the time; it was already 11:30 p.m., time to wash up and go to bed.

She stretched and stood up.

Just as I was about to walk towards the bathroom in the dim light of the desk lamp, I casually glanced up and my eyes swept over the two beds closest to the bathroom—

There was a blurry human figure above each one.

It seemed as if he was looking down at her.

She was startled, and when she looked again, there was nothing there.

【hide and seek?】

Or is it... some kind of reality merging?

She was used to the strange, but this time something just felt off.

Liu Sheng took out a change of pajamas from the closet and went into the bathroom.

The lights can be turned on here without disturbing Lin Yue and Long Yingxue, who are fast asleep in the room.

She pressed the light switch.

The white light flashed with a "pop".

In that flash, Liu Sheng saw—

A door has appeared on the tiled wall of the shower room.

She blinked and looked behind her.

The bathroom door is still there.

The lights flickered, but the door in front of them remained.

Embedded in white ceramic tiles, the wood is painted a bright yellow, but some of it is mottled and faded.

Liu Sheng glanced at her phone subconsciously.

The time displayed above is:

【03: 45】

How can it be?

She was just reading a paper a moment ago, how did four hours pass in the blink of an eye?
The only explanation is—

She just fell asleep.

Yet there was no memory of it, as if a segment of consciousness had been forcibly severed.

Liu Sheng's heart suddenly tightened.

But more unsettling than the temporal distortion was the door itself.

She turned and walked out of the restroom, returned to her seat, took a fruit knife from the drawer, and went back in.

But by the time she returned, the lights had already stabilized.

The door embedded in the white tiles has disappeared.

It's as if they never existed.

Liu Sheng held the knife, momentarily at a loss.

We can only put it aside for now.

After thinking about it, she simply hid the knife on the small platform at the top of the shower room.

This platform is surrounded by various pipes, which the construction workers haphazardly covered with walls, resulting in this extra layer of protrusion.

They usually have to stand on tiptoe to reach it, so they rarely clean that area when cleaning, making it an ideal hiding place.

After Liu Sheng finished showering and drying her hair, she walked back to her dormitory and was about to climb back into her bed.

A fleeting glance at Zheng Qiran's bed sent a shiver down her spine.

The bed, which had been empty, was now noticeably raised, as if someone were lying in it.

impossible!
Before leaving in the morning, Zheng Qiran folded the quilt into a neat square. Even though Liu Sheng saw "someone" sitting there twice, the square quilt was still not unfolded.

However, now, the quilt was covering the bed, and the mosquito net was hanging down, as if Zheng Qiran was still lying inside as usual.

The most terrifying thing is that, judging from Liu Sheng's tiny eyes—

The blanket was still rising and falling slightly...

It's like there's a living person lying inside.
