Chapter 137 Going to the Toilet
5. When using the toilet, if you observe an unidentified shadow lingering in the gap under the stall door for more than 10 seconds, please gently knock three times on the stall door as a reminder.
If the shadow dissipates, the cubicle can be used normally.
If the shadows actually intensify, immediately blow your whistle and shout your badge number and "Request for emergency suppression!"
After reading the fifth rule, almost simultaneously, all four of them unconsciously reached into their pants pockets and pulled out a cold, metallic whistle.
Massim brought the whistle to his lips and blew it very softly.
A soft "whoosh" sounded particularly clear in the quiet corridor, and the whistle itself seemed to be normal.
"But..." Ryuichi Kamishiro's voice carried a hint of confusion and tension, "What's my police officer number?"
He immediately took off his prison guard jacket and searched inside and out, trying to find the place with the number embroidered on it, but found nothing.
He swallowed hard, his voice dry. "We trainee prison guards don't actually have identification numbers, do we? Then this rule is... a dead end?!"
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then took out a temporary access card from his pocket, held it up to the light, and pointed to the string of numbers on it:
"202511119527... Do you think it's possible that this is our 'police officer's ID number'?"
Everyone immediately focused their attention on it.
Lin Feng continued his analysis: "2025 refers to this year; 1111 likely refers to the date we entered the instance, November 11th; and the final 9527—" He paused, "should be our personal identification number."
The three immediately took out their access cards.
Sure enough, the last two digits were consecutive:
Massim-9528,
Ryuichi Kamishiro——9529,
Tom - 9530.
"Thank goodness...it's not a dead end." Ryuichi Kamishiro breathed a long sigh of relief, gripping the whistle tightly in his hand.
6. Always watch your step and be careful of water stains on the ground.
If you see any water stains spreading toward you at a visible speed, immediately lie down and say to the water stains in a very serious tone: "Stop! According to Article 114, Paragraph 514 of the Convention on the Law of the Sea, you have committed an illegal overflow."
Ryuichi Kamishiro's beautiful peach blossom eyes widened instantly: "W-this way of responding is just too outrageous!"
"If that water stain could move on its own, it must be possessed by some strange entity. Would it even listen to your nonsense?"
"I'm afraid it'll smear all over your face the moment you lie down?!"
Tom frowned and looked at Lin Feng: "Brother Feng, what's your opinion on this rule?"
Lin Feng shook his head solemnly: "This statement cannot be judged by its literal meaning at all. I'm afraid... we can only find the truth through practice."
"Practice?" Ryuichi Kamishiro's voice suddenly rose, tinged with fear. "If the experiment fails, we'll be dead!"
Suddenly, Wasim, standing nearby, let out a muffled snort through his nostrils:
"Having come all this way to this world of ghost stories, whose head isn't already on their hands?"
"Many rules are discovered through trial and error, by risking one's life to find them!"
He looked around at the three men and said firmly, "In short, whoever needs to go to the toilet must be accompanied by someone else."
"That way, even if one person encounters a problem, the other can still look out for them, and at least they'll know... whether that rule is correct or not."
Nobody has a better way.
The four of them exchanged glances and nodded emphatically.
There were six rules in total. After memorizing these six rules, Lin Feng took a deep breath and stepped into the bathroom.
The interior space was more spacious than I had imagined, and the air was filled with a mixture of disinfectant and urine odors.
The lights were dim.
Lin Feng quickly surveyed the surroundings: on the left were four urinals side by side, and on the right were four toilet stalls with doors.
At the very back are two shower stalls separated by frosted glass.
Directly opposite the entrance is a large mirror and below it, four ceramic sinks arranged in a row.
The floor is covered with white tiles and appears to be dry; no water stains were found as mentioned in the rules.
Lin Feng walked straight to the urinal, intending to take care of his personal needs first.
Ryuichi Kamishiro seemed to want to use Lin Feng as a shield, so he quickly followed and stood next to Lin Feng.
The two stood side by side, unbuttoning their trousers.
Perhaps out of curiosity, Ryuichi Kamishiro subconsciously glanced at Lin Feng while relieving himself.
That one glance made his cherry-like mouth gape into a large "O," and he subconsciously murmured in very soft Japanese, a sound tinged with shock and a hint of something inexplicable:
「大きいな……!」
Lin Feng glanced at Ryuichi Kamishiro, raised an eyebrow, and said meaningfully, "Wow...it's short and exquisite!"
Although the live stream only captured the two people's backs, viewers around the world understood the meaning almost instantly based on these two sentences.
The live chat exploded instantly:
"Haha! Our family was already struggling financially, and after the punishment from the last ghost story, things have gotten even worse!"
"Shortening it by 2 centimeters, now it seems to have a built-in 'targeted strike' effect, right?"
"Kamishiro-kun: Let me see... (pupils dilate in shock) I hate this ghost story world!"
"From a scientific perspective, for a man to be able to comment on others so calmly, he must be quite confident in his own abilities..."
Lin Feng: Low-key. (But he exudes an aura of "I'm the best" from head to toe.)
........................
After the four finished using the restroom and were about to leave, Tom suddenly exclaimed softly and pointed to the ground—
Sometime during the day, a puddle of water appeared on the ground.
The water stain was extremely strangely shaped, with its edges twisted and distorted, resembling a silent, grinning face, slowly "crawling" toward Tom's feet in an unnatural manner.
"Rule Six has been triggered!" Lin Feng's pupils contracted.
Tom's face turned deathly pale as he hastily retreated, stammering, "What was the proper response again? I... I forgot!"
"Lie down! Say to it in a very serious tone: Stop! According to Article 114, Paragraph 514 of the Convention on Fluid Dynamics, you have committed an illegal overflow!" Lin Feng quickly reminded it.
Tom immediately complied, dropping to the ground and shouting rapidly, "Stop! According to Article 114, Section 514 of the Convention on the Law of the Sea, you have committed an illegal overflow!"
However, the face-shaped water stain only paused slightly before spreading towards him at an even faster speed.
"No! Your tone isn't serious enough, it sounds like you're reciting lines!" Vassim shouted urgently.
But it was too late!
The water stains were twisting and turning, getting closer to Tom by less than a centimeter!
At the critical moment, Lin Feng's gaze sharpened, and he silently chanted in his mind, "Stop!"
When he cleared the previous dungeon, his "Beast Language Interpreter" was upgraded to "Call of the Wild," which allows him to briefly interfere with and guide low-level strange creatures through mental will.
The water stain behavior has a clear direction, and it seems to be some kind of low-level weirdness, perfect for testing...
