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

Chapter 934 A Golden Crow (Part 8)
A ladder leads to the two upper bunks.

Liu Sheng's gaze turned slightly cold as she stared at the undulating mound beside her for a moment.

He then stepped onto the ladder and climbed up to the bed next to him, gently lifted the mosquito net, and peered inside.

It was pitch black inside the mosquito net.

Darkness almost completely enveloped Liu Sheng.

But she saw it more clearly.

These slight fluctuations are real.

Slowly reaching out, her fingertips gently brushed the edge of the blanket, finally grasping the corner, and then—

Suddenly, it was flipped up!

The figure under the blanket appeared before my eyes.

At the same time, Liu Sheng's actions also alerted the other party.

He groggily opened his eyes, saw the figure in front of the bed, and immediately let out a scream that could rip through the darkness!

Instantly, the last person left in the dormitory also woke up.

More than that.

Not long after, there was a rapid knocking at the door.

"Could you please keep your voice down?"

"It's one thing to have no conscience, but at least have some public morality, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Long Yingxue, who had finally calmed down, suddenly became furious. She scrambled off the bed, flung open the door, and shouted loudly at the outside:

"It's not like the people in your dorm are dead, of course you can sleep soundly! Want to try sleeping here for the night?"

The girls outside were so frightened by Long Yingxue's madness that they all fled in panic.

Long Yingxue closed the door.

The dormitory lights were already on, illuminating Liu Sheng sitting calmly on the bed, hugging her blanket, and Lin Yue beside her, who looked utterly shaken.

"What's going on with you guys?" Long Yingxue asked, frowning.

"She was terrifying!" Lin Yue pointed at Liu Sheng, her voice trembling. "I was sleeping soundly when she suddenly barged into my mosquito net!"

Liu Sheng shrugged.

"I'm just wondering why someone would be in Zheng Qiran's bed."

Lin Yue was taken aback.

His gaze fell on Long Yingxue.

The other person nodded silently, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

She then looked down at the bed.

After a while, another scream rang out.

There was another knock on the door.

This time it's the dormitory manager.

"What's all the noise about? Several people have already complained about you!"

"I'm sorry..." Long Yingxue stammered, "Something might have happened in our dorm... There's something, something here..."

The dormitory manager knows about what's going on in this dormitory.

She took a step back in slight panic, coughed lightly, and tried to remain calm: "Don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing in this world... cough cough, go to sleep."

After speaking, he ran away as if to escape.

Lin Yue then seemed to wake up from a dream, hurriedly rolled out of bed, and kept patting herself as if she had touched something dirty, her eyes red and she was about to cry.

"I, I, I..." She tried to explain, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"You don't remember?" Liu Sheng asked.

Lin Yue shook her head repeatedly, her face as white as paper.

This reaction doesn't seem fake.

Indeed, who would want to sleep in a dead person's bed?
Long Yingxue glanced at the bed, then quickly looked away as if she had been burned.

"What should I do..." Lin Yue panicked and grabbed Long Yingxue's arm tightly, almost leaving marks on it.

Long Yingxue hissed in pain and shook off her hand.

"How about we buy some pomelo leaves and glutinous rice tomorrow to ward off evil spirits?"

"I don't want to live here anymore!" Lin Yue said with a mournful face.

"Then you'll have to rent a place outside. Do you have enough money for living expenses?"

"Not enough... what to do?"

"go home?"

"No way! If I go back without finding a job, my parents will be furious!"

"Sigh, me too. They hope I can get a job in the federal system."

"This is so difficult..."

"It's difficult, but there's nothing we can do. They think this is the kind of good job they want."

Lin Yue and Long Yingxue sighed helplessly.

Just then, Liu Sheng returned to bed and was about to put down the mosquito net to rest when the creaking and shaking of the bed attracted the attention of the two of them.

"By the way, Tao Tao, what are you doing up so late at night?" Lin Yue stared at Liu Sheng.

"I'm reading a paper," Liu Sheng replied truthfully.

The two looked at each other.

"Tao Tao, are you serious?" Lin Yue asked incredulously.

Liu Sheng nodded.

In order to avoid the "OOC index" rising, she must portray the changes in the character "He Tao" well and make a smooth transition.

From then on, "diligence" became the label for "He Tao".

Long Yingxue frowned: "But it's almost five o'clock now, and you... have been watching all night?"

These words startled Liu Sheng.

I glanced down at my phone.

【05: 16】

The pupils shrank slightly.

The two of them seemed to realize something as well.

They all rushed to the restroom without prior arrangement.

Liu Sheng also climbed off the bed and followed.

There was another pool of blood on the bathroom floor.

There was also a small piece of minced meat.

It was still throbbing, as if it had just been peeled off from a living creature.

Lin Yue and Long Yingxue almost vomited on the spot.

Liu Sheng frowned deeply.

According to the "world's" analysis, this is frog meat, and it's quite fresh.

Judging from the "mother's" reaction, there was something eerie about it.

My mouth is watering...

I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat...

Liu Sheng suppressed his mother's agitation.

[Zheng Qiran is dead, but where did this thing come from? Was there really no one feeding it?]

Or is there... another person feeding them?

Liu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then looked up to meet Lin Yue and Long Yingxue's disgusted and terrified expressions.

I can't tell.

She immediately shook her head and explained, "I don't remember."

His brows were furrowed, clearly a mixture of disgust and panic.

This reaction barely convinced his two roommates.

But the matter is far from over.

"It seems that something is wrong with our dormitory now," Lin Yue said, her face pale.

The three returned to their dormitory. Although it was still some time before they had to get up, they were already wide awake and sat on their stools, all with faces full of fear.

"You're the ones who's abnormal! I'm not!"

Long Yingxue quickly distanced herself from the situation.

“Maybe you have a problem too, you just haven’t shown it yet!” Lin Yue retorted.

"Don't talk nonsense and curse me!" Long Yingxue said, her face turning red with anger.

Liu Sheng frowned: "Alright, you guys don't need to rush!"

"How can I not be anxious!" Lin Yue murmured, rubbing her arms repeatedly as if there was something unclean on her body. "How can I calm down if I can't understand what's wrong with me?"

"Think about it again...maybe Zheng Qiran feels the same way."

Long Yingxue's anxiety faded from her face.

Along with it, the last trace of blood also faded.

"And now... she's dead."

In an instant, the air cooled down.

A strong sense of survival crisis overwhelmed the two girls, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

Liu Sheng, on the other hand, remained calmer.

He was still thinking about that lump of flesh.

Although she couldn't tell which of the two was the other feeder, or whether she had found the food herself, she still had a way to find out.

He quietly touched the camera that was always clipped to his waist.

Will bringing this up now cause out-of-character (OOC) content?

[But...maybe I can use this opportunity to gain more trust.] As she pondered, her gaze suddenly fell on the laptop on the desktop, whose screen was already off.

The reflective screen showed Long Yingxue's face in the background.

He stared at her blankly.

Liu Sheng's back stiffened slightly as she was stared at.

Lin Yue seemed oblivious, pacing back and forth, muttering something about going to find the counselor to change dorm rooms.

It seems Lin Yue was right; everyone has a problem right now.

She simply couldn't decide who to believe.

One thing is clear now—

Liu Sheng's initial judgment was wrong.

It's not that this thing is on "He Tao".

Rather, this thing probably exists on everyone in their entire dormitory.

Zheng Qiran originally thought that the experiment was only for "He Tao".

This is evident from the paper itself.

But the experiment's impact was unexpected, extending far beyond just one person—

It also affected her, leading to her death.

It has also affected Lin Yue and Long Yingxue, but the problem has not yet been fully exposed.

Liu Sheng was now truly curious.

Unfortunately, I can't turn on the camera here to see if I've recorded anything "interesting".

We can only wait until tomorrow.

……

The next morning, Liu Sheng packed her things and was about to leave.

Lin Yue and Long Yingxue, who had been making noise for most of the night and were too scared to sleep, had just fallen asleep.

The dormitory finally quieted down, but then there was a knock on the door.

Liu Sheng carried her schoolbag and went to open the door.

Standing outside the door was a middle-aged woman dressed in a simple shirt, her skin tanned from the sun. She looked tired from her journey, and when she spoke, she was hesitant and stuttered.

"Hello, hello..."

Standing beside her was the dormitory supervisor, whose face was smothered by the noise of being woken up in the middle of the night. She impatiently interrupted the woman and spoke directly to Liu Sheng:
"This is your roommate's mother. Come and collect her belongings."

She didn't care that the woman's eyes suddenly reddened as soon as she uttered the words "belongings," but she looked impatient.

Liu Sheng quickly stepped aside and said softly, "Auntie, please come in."

"Okay, okay, thank you, classmate."

Lin Yue and Long Yingxue both woke up.

Lin Yue and Long Yingxue were also awakened by the noise and looked at the slightly hunched figure from the bed.

The dormitory manager ignored them and left on her own.

Liu Sheng put down her schoolbag and offered, "Auntie, do you need my help?"

“I…” Zheng Qiran’s mother was somewhat at a loss.

Did you bring a bag?

Zheng Qiran's mother nodded.

"Bring it."

As he spoke, he held up the red, white, and blue woven bag in his hand.

Liu Sheng pointed to Zheng Qiran's location, "That's Zheng Qiran's bed and desk, and the cabinet is next to the desk."

"Okay, thank you, classmate."

Zheng Qiran's mother pulled an old suitcase out from under the table and slowly packed Zheng Qiran's clothes inside. She then opened a woven bag, put away the few items on the table, and stacked Zheng Qiran's books one by one into the bag.

Then, she glanced somewhat awkwardly at Liu Sheng, before looking up at Zheng Qiran's bed.

"I……"

"You can just take off your shoes and step on it."

"okay."

She took off her dirty-looking cloth shoes.

Suddenly, a strong, sour smell filled the dormitory.

Although Lin Yue and Long Yingxue didn't say anything, their restless movements in the blankets betrayed their reaction.

The mother clearly noticed this as well, and her face became even more flustered. She silently put her shoes back on.

Liu Sheng smiled gently and said, "Auntie, you're not used to climbing ladders, are you? How about I help you tidy up?"

"Really? Thank you so much, classmate."

Zheng Qiran's mother was very grateful.

Liu Sheng took off her shoes and nimbly climbed onto Zheng Qiran's bed.

She had just gotten up in the middle of the night, and the blankets were still in a mess because of her.

She folded the quilt according to Zheng Qiran's habits and handed it to Zheng Qiran's mother. Then, when she picked up the pillow, she suddenly felt a faint rustling sound inside.

While no one was watching, Zheng Qiran's mother was bending down to stuff the quilt into a red, white and blue woven bag, and Liu Sheng quickly took the things out of the pillow.

It turned out to be a yellow amulet folded into a triangle.

Her expression hardened, and she casually stuffed it into her pocket. Then, as if nothing had happened, she tidied up the pillow and sheets and handed them to Zheng Qiran's mother.

Finally, Liu Sheng removed the mosquito net and tidied up the bed.

When she jumped out of bed, Zheng Qiran's mother had already packed everything up, and Zheng Qiran's spot was so clean it was as if she had never existed.

"Thank you, classmate," Zheng Qiran's mother said sincerely.

"Auntie, you're welcome." Liu Sheng gently shook her head, smiling warmly. "Do you need me to help you carry your things downstairs?"

"No need, classmate, I can do it myself!"

After saying that, Zheng Qiran's mother went out of the dormitory and brought in a carrying pole from outside.

A plastic bag was hanging from one end of the carrying pole, which she took down and handed to Liu Sheng.

"These are wild lychees from our hometown. We're giving them to the kids in your dorm to try. Thank you... for taking care of Ran these past four years."

These words, however, caused a pause in the crowd.

Lin Yue and Long Yingxue turned over uneasily.

Considering the recent rumors, if this mother knew the truth, she would probably want to snatch the bag of lychees back and spit out the wild lychees she had eaten.

"Thank you, Auntie," Liu Sheng said politely, "Please... take good care of yourself."

"Oh, good child..."

Zheng Qiran's mother's eyes were red.

She hung the items on the carrying pole one by one, and Liu Sheng lent a hand as well, earning a few more compliments as a "good child".

The "good child" then opened the plastic bag and looked inside. Inside lay plump, bright red lychees, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"I've never seen such good lychees before. Auntie, where are you from? I'll go online and see if I can buy some."

“We’re from a small place, and these are all wild. You can’t buy them online. If you like, Auntie will send you some more next time.”

"No need, no need," Liu Sheng waved her hands repeatedly.

But that's just polite talk; don't take it seriously.

Seeing that the other person was about to leave with the carrying pole, Liu Sheng picked up her schoolbag and followed a few steps. While helping him, she casually chatted with him for a few minutes and finally found out that Zheng Qiran's hometown was a place called "Shanhai City".

As the name suggests, it has both mountains and sea.

It was actually located in the southern part of the Eastern Federation Empire, but for He Tao, who was born in Qingyang City, it was a place she had never heard of.

It is clear that this is indeed a small place.

Liu Sheng escorted Zheng Qiran's mother downstairs.

Goodbye, classmate.

Goodbye, Auntie. Take care.

Just as Liu Sheng turned to leave, she suddenly saw a boy who looked like a student walking towards her and naturally reaching out to take the carrying pole from Zheng Qiran's mother's shoulder.

Zheng Qiran's mother tried to push it a few times but failed, and finally handed it over to the young man.

Clearly, the two were quite familiar with each other.

Liu Sheng watched the two figures leave as they talked, her gaze darkening slightly.

She seemed to vaguely remember the boy's back view.

No matter how hard I try to recall, it's like being shrouded in a fog, and I can't find the answer.

Where did you see it?
Puzzled, Liu Sheng turned her gaze away and slowly walked along the path in front of the dormitory building toward the convenience store. She bought three loaves of bread and headed straight for the library.

He Tao swiped his student ID to open the gate and entered the museum.

It's still early, and there aren't many people inside, so it's a good time to see some shady things.

Liu Sheng walked around to a blind spot in the surveillance cameras, sat down, and made sure no one was paying attention before taking out the old-fashioned laptop she had personally modified from her bag.

With a light touch of my fingertip, I pressed the power button, and the screen flickered a few times before lighting up, seemingly reluctantly.

However, it starts up very quickly, outperforming 99.99% of all computers in the entire Federation.

But Liu Sheng could already hear a faint buzzing sound coming from inside, low and rapid, like the last breath of an old soldier before heading to the battlefield.

May God bless me so I can make it to the end...

Liu Sheng silently prayed to herself.

He then carefully took the small video camera out of his clothes, removed the memory card, inserted it into the card reader he had prepared, connected it to the computer, and put on wired headphones.

It already contains footage shot over half a day.

After being modified by Liu Sheng, and with the addition of the tiny tentacles' eyes having excellent vision and night vision, as well as automatic magnification, reduction and focusing, the image quality is even higher than the original device.

Liu Sheng focused intently as she slowly dragged the progress bar.

Finally, she saw it.
