Chapter 178: There is no Dormitory 24 here

~7 min read 1,329 words

, The Genie Starting from Marvel

Sunlight shone down from the sky, a breeze blew across the campus, and clusters of sunflowers rustled.

A person was lying on an iron bench by the road. This person was wearing a long black cloak, and their tightly closed eyes were constantly moving, as if they were in the middle of a nightmare.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

A small white dog was barking loudly in front of the bench.

"Ugh... what's that noise... so noisy..." The man woke up from his sleep, tilting his head to look at the small dog in front of him.

At this moment, a little girl in a dress ran over and picked up the white dog. "Sisi, you're not allowed to run around!"

The man sat up from the bench, suddenly feeling a wave of dizziness. His right hand swiped up to cover his head, a painful expression appearing on his face.

"Hello? Hello? What's wrong with you? Do you need me to call an ambulance for you?" The girl squatted on the ground, looking at the man, keeping her distance while showing concern.

"No, I'm fine, thank you." The man gave a reflexive answer, even though he didn't look like he was fine at all.

The girl gave him a strange look, turned around, and left with her pet.

What... what happened to me?

Where... am I now?

Who... am I?

The man felt that his memories were incredibly chaotic. He touched the back of his head and found a large bump; it seemed he had been attacked by something.

Who hit me?

When he took his right hand down, the man saw a line of text on his arm: Frank, hurry and find the key!

What does that mean? Am I Frank? Did I lose some key?

Frank struggled to stand up and looked around; the nearby students were starting to increase.

These students all wore badges with a sunflower pattern on their chests. Frank looked down and saw that he had one on his chest too.

Standing in place and thinking for a few seconds, Frank walked toward the nearest building. After finding a random men's restroom and ducking inside, Frank checked himself in a stall.

A black windbreaker, an empty small bottle in the pocket, and a strange, already rusted ornament.

A pair of light green trousers; there was nothing in the pockets, but there were two broken buckles on the belt, where something should have been hooked originally.

A white top, no pockets, with many wrinkles, and slight signs of damage could be seen. The pattern printed on the chest was also interesting; it seemed to be some kind of lamp pot.

The underwear was normal, ordinary blue and white stripes, the colored paper was soft and comfortable, fitting the skin, and it looked very breathable.

Strange, I don't even have an ID card? What kind of person am I?

Frank shook his cloak in confusion, and a transparent keychain fell out.

He squatted down and picked up the keychain. It was engraved with the characters "24-113". Frank carefully checked the other sides and confirmed that there was nothing on it but the numbers.

Key... is the key I lost the one corresponding to this keychain?

Frank fell into deep thought, turned around, pushed the door open, and walked out of the stall. The moment he looked up and saw the mirror, Frank felt that the face reflected in the mirror was very unfamiliar.

Yellow skin, a pale face, black hair, a small scar at the corner of the mouth; he looked a bit like a ruffian-handsome type.

However... shouldn't I look like this?

A question inexplicably welled up in Frank's heart, but strangely, even though he felt his face was wrong, he didn't feel any fear at all.

Deeply memorizing his appearance, Frank walked quickly out of the restroom and found the road signs in the school.

Dormitory... Dormitory 24...

Frank's finger slid across the enlarged map, then stopped at the edge of the map. Under his finger was Dormitory 23.

Confirming it again, this university used an athletic center, a cafeteria, and a teaching building as a dividing line, splitting the dormitories into two parts, which were the men's and women's dormitories, but they only went up to 23.

Strange, if 24 doesn't refer to a dormitory building, then what does it refer to? Or is there a building that isn't shown on the map?

Frank lowered his finger. While he was thinking, a police car went past behind him with a "dee-doo-dee-doo" sound. Almost subconsciously, Frank hid behind the map.

After the police car left, Frank walked out and looked in the direction the police car had driven off.

Am I not a good person? Why would I subconsciously hide from a police car?

Frank thought for a moment, picked up a discarded mask from the ground, put it on his face, and ran in the direction he had just confirmed.

After running through several streets, Frank found a crowd of students gathered in an open space, heads bowed. Frank leaned in.

A corpse was lying on the open ground. The corpse's head was weirdly looking toward its own back, looking at the empty space behind it. In its hand, it was clutching an iron rod tightly, and there were traces of blood on the tip of the iron rod.

Standing slightly on tiptoe, Frank's gaze swept across the corpse's face, and he was suddenly shocked, taking a step back.

That face on the corpse was exactly the same as the one he had just seen in the restroom mirror, which was to say, exactly the same as his current appearance.

"Everyone disperse, disperse!" The police urged the onlookers around to leave.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

The familiar dog barking sounded.

"Sorry, sorry, Sisi, don't bark randomly!"

Frank turned his head and saw the girl he had seen when he woke up. The girl was holding the small white dog and kept apologizing, but no one around turned to look at her.

The girl tried to squeeze into the crowd to join the excitement, but no one gave her space, and the wall of people surrounding the scene blocked the girl outside.

Finally, after many attempts, the girl sighed, held the small white dog, and turned to leave.

Frank thought for a moment and followed her, because he had discovered a problem: in this school, everyone, including the corpse on the ground, had a sunflower badge on their chest, yet that girl didn't have one, at least he hadn't seen it.

"Hello, is its name Sisi?" Frank approached the girl and asked.

The girl looked up and saw the clothes on Frank, confirming that he was the man she had seen not long ago. Her eyes lit up, and she held the small white dog a little higher. "Yes, its name is Sisi, isn't it cute~"

"Yeah, it's quite cute." Frank watched the little dog constantly shrinking backward. "By the way, can I ask you a question?"

"What?" The girl tilted her head and looked at Frank.

"Do you know where Dormitory 24 is?" Frank asked.

The girl thought for a moment. "Did you go to the wrong school? It seems Xi'an Academy has never had a Dormitory 24."

"Oh, really? Then maybe I went to the wrong place." Frank gave an awkward smile.

"Not really, actually I'm not sure either. I don't come here to play often. Why don't you ask someone else?" The girl responded with a smile.

"Then you're quite the homebody." Frank said casually.

"No, it's just that the school is too big. One is worth two, and there are no bikes. Just walking is exhausting." The girl complained.

Frank smiled and didn't say anything. Judging from the map, this school wasn't actually that big. Compared to that, he was more concerned about why this girl wasn't wearing a sunflower badge. ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
