One end of the canopy bed was leaning against the window of the dormitory facing the door, and Jiang You's head was facing the direction of the window.

It was not late at this time. Through the window, you could see that the outside was not completely dark, but under the light of the dormitory, you could not see the outside clearly from inside.

They got off work from the production workshop at six o'clock in the afternoon. Jiang You turned on his mobile phone and the time displayed on it was eight o'clock in the evening. It was nearly an hour before the dormitory lights out at nine o'clock, and it was still longer before Jiang You was accustomed to sleeping.

Jiang You looked at the dormitory window without curtains. There were some fingerprints left on the edge of the glass. The location looked like they were left by decoration workers when installing the glass. They were all on the corners of the window.

The latch in the middle of the window was open and not locked.

Jiang You stretched out her hand and could touch the edge of the window. Her fingertips touched it and half of her fingerprints were stuck on it. With a slight push of her fingertips, the glass of the window slid away from the bedside.

Instantly, a gust of wind blew in.

A cool breeze blew into the dormitory. Cheng Xin looked up suddenly. The glass slid along the edge of the window frame. She saw that outside the transparent glass window, there was no protective net like other floors.

The outside space is unobstructed. After opening the window, the inside and outside of the dormitory seem to be connected instantly.

Cheng Xin sat up from the lower bunk bed, stepped on her shoes under the bed, and walked over.

The two looked at the buildings outside the Wonderful Toy Factory through the open window.

The gray buildings are neatly arranged, and it's not yet time to turn off the lights. There is no one downstairs, and everyone seems to have returned to their rooms very early.

From the window on the eighth floor, you can see that the lights in many rooms elsewhere are on and brightly lit.

There is no balcony outside the window. If you step out from here, you will appear directly in mid-air and fall to the ground instantly.

"Go to sleep." Not seeing anything special, Jiang You retracted his gaze, hooked his fingers on the window, and closed it again.

Cheng Xin raised her hand to lock the window. The fixed window could not be pushed open from the inside or outside without unlocking the lock.

Following Tiantian Tian's posture on the bed opposite, Jiang You pulled the white quilt upward slightly to ensure that the light above her head would not easily penetrate her. She closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.

The quiet environment induced drowsiness. Jiang You could only hear her own breathing in her ears, but she could still feel the light from the outside when she closed her eyes, making it impossible for her to fall into a deep sleep quickly.

Opening her eyes slightly, she could see the dim lights flickering in the hallway through the window above the dormitory door.

Suddenly, all the lights in the aisle outside went out in an instant.

Jiang You heard a horn sound coming from outside the dormitory building. She touched the screen of her phone and saw the lighted screen indicating that it was nine o'clock in the evening. This was the signal for lights out.

She closed her eyes again, and the sleepiness that had just been brewing in Jiang You's mind dissipated a lot.

Just at this time, after the lights in the aisle outside were extinguished, footsteps were heard from far to near.

"Ta-ta, tap-ta..."

The footsteps sounded and stopped, as if the man was walking down the aisle.

Jiang You was very impressed by the sudden appearance of footsteps in the darkness. Just when she was wondering if the person on the corridor was the wax figure Zhu San she had seen before, the footsteps stopped at the door of dormitory 818.

There was no sound in the quiet environment. After the footsteps outside stopped, everything seemed even quieter. One couldn't help but wonder if the people outside were staring at the dormitory door, trying to see inside.

"Ta-ta, tap-ta..."

The footsteps sounded again, and he continued walking forward.

Jiang You remembered that when she came over, there were no lights or sounds in the other dormitories ahead. She judged that there was no one inside.

But now, the footsteps didn't seem to care about this. He continued to walk forward, stopping at the doors of rooms with larger house numbers, and then started walking again.

Suddenly, the distant sound approached again, and his footsteps became faster.

The person who seemed to have not found what he was looking for quickened his pace in the aisle.

"Ta-ta-ta..."

Jiang You's breathing couldn't help but become lighter, but this time, the footsteps on the corridor did not stop at the door of dormitory 818, but went to the other side.

Since the sound insulation effect of the dormitory door is not good, the noise from outside can be transmitted in if it is slightly louder.

The footsteps of "tap-tat-tat" seemed to stop at the door of the dormitory next door to 818 dormitory. While the footsteps stopped, there was a heavy knock on the door next door.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Along with the knock on the door, there was a man's voice, saying: "I'm back, let me in."

Hearing this voice, Jiang You's eyes suddenly opened. The timbre of this voice was the same as that of male player No. 11, but his voice was slightly dull.

At the same time, Jiang You noticed that the other canopy bed was also shaking. She looked down from the edge of the bed. Cheng Xin's open eyes also showed no signs of sleepiness.

"This voice sounds like that of the male player No. 11. Didn't he come back when he was assigned a dormitory?"

Cheng Xin raised her eyes: "No." There was an inexplicable look in her eyes, as if she was telling Jiang You, shouldn't you know better than me about whether the 11th is back?

When the person outside knocked on the door, he did not stop outside 818, but skipped some rooms. This shows that he chose the dormitory where he knocked on the door.

As for the reason for being skipped, Jiang You thought it should be whether the lights were on in the dormitory. Although I don’t know why it is male player No. 11 who appears at night, but when he appears in the darkness at this time, he is definitely not the same person.

Jiang You didn't feel anything about this. The only thing she wanted to know was what happened to No. 11 after entering the elevator. I believe other players would also be curious about this.

Thinking about it, Jiang You said to Cheng Xin: "I heard that player No. 11 went to take the elevator."

After finishing speaking, Jiang You closed his mouth and kept quiet, and the sounds from outside were clearly heard in the room.

Before the door opened, the person standing outside the door retracted his hand in disappointment. On his hanging hand, something kept falling to the ground along his fingers.

"Tick-tock...tick-tock..."

The sound of water seemed to be heard in the corridor.

Amidst the sound of water, the footsteps outside gradually moved away. The man seemed to be walking on water-covered land, and the footsteps were mixed with the sound of sticky water.

Although he couldn't see the scene outside, Jiang You knew that it was not water, but more like liquid wax falling during burning. If it had not solidified and someone stepped on it, it might make such a sound.
