Through the window, Su Chen peeked into the dormitory manager's office.
To his surprise, it was completely empty.
The dormitory manager was nowhere to be seen.
Just as he was wondering, the dormitory manager's voice came from the doorway.
"What's up?"
the manager asked Su Chen, who was disguised as Da Xiang Wan.
Her eyes were full of surprise.
Clearly, she hadn't expected Da Xiang Wan to be the first one there.
Su Chen turned his head and saw the manager walking in from outside the dormitory building.
He forced a smile and said,
"I wanted to vote my roommate out of my dorm according to the dormitory rules, but when I got here, I found the manager's office empty. I was wondering if I should come back later." "
Oh, this is our dormitory manager's shift change time. The night shift teacher just handed over the shift to me, so the manager's office is empty. Okay, who do you want to vote for?"
Hearing this, Su Chen deliberately pretended to hesitate.
After thinking for a while, he stammered,
"Doesn't the rule say that it's a secret ballot?"
The manager nodded.
"That's right, don't worry, after you tell me, no one else will know about this. If you're still worried, you can get a ballot from me, fill in the dorm number and the name of the person you want to vote for. Should I get you a ballot?"
Su Chen shook his head and smiled at the older woman.
"No need, of course I trust you. I'm voting for Su Chen so he won't be allowed into our dorm anymore."
"Okay, I understand. If your vote is successful, I will remove Su Chen from the roster of dorm 444, and his name won't be called during future dorm checks."
"This… isn't this very advantageous for him?"
Su Chen pretended to be surprised and a little unhappy.
"No, he needs to tell the dorm supervisor where he stayed tonight during the checks. If there are no vacancies in the dorm listed on the roster, he will be considered a violation."
Da Xiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied expression on his face.
"Okay, that's fine then. Thanks, dorm supervisor. I'll be going now."
With that, Su Chen turned back towards the dorm room.
"Aren't you going to class?"
the dorm supervisor asked, puzzled, seeing him not leaving the building.
"Yeah, there's still some time before class. I didn't sleep well last night, so I want to sleep a little longer."
"Okay, then be mindful of class time and don't be late."
"Thank you for reminding me, teacher."
Su Chen smiled and strode towards the stairwell.
The dorm supervisor watched Su Chen's retreating figure, her brows gradually furrowing.
"Did I misjudge him yesterday? Is Da Xiang Wan the real talent?"
"Also, according to Da Xiang Wan, Su Chen is most likely entangled by them, otherwise why would Da Xiang Wan come to vote Su Chen out so early in the morning?"
"Ugh, that crazy woman Inanna, I told you, stuffing six monsters into someone's dorm room on the first night is practically murder! Who could withstand that kind of difficulty? Even she couldn't do it!"
"But at least it seems Su Chen is still alive, which is a blessing in disguise."
"Forget it, let them do what they want."
The aunt muttered as she walked into the dorm room.
However, not long after,
Park Shi-ryeon from room 444 came out again.
"Auntie, I want to vote for someone. I want to kick him out of our dorm."
Su Chen used the same trick again.
"Who do you want to vote for?"
the aunt asked.
"(A bunch of nonsense)"
Su Chen, following Park Shi-ryeon's personality, chatted with the aunt for a long time.
In the end, he successfully gained another vote for himself.
Then, using a similar excuse as before, he returned to the dormitory.
A while later, Jack arrived.
Su Chen, familiar with the situation, easily won over the older woman. He
made several trips back and forth like this,
quickly accumulating the maximum number of votes.
To make the performance complete, there couldn't be any mistakes!
Finally, Su Chen reverted to his original appearance.
He walked calmly towards the dormitory door.
As he passed the dormitory supervisor's office, he noticed the middle-aged woman staring intently at him.
He pretended not to notice and continued walking.
"Su Chen, wait a minute!"
the woman called out as she ran out of the room.
"What's wrong?"
Su Chen asked, puzzled.
"Aren't you going to hold a vote for one of your roommates?"
the woman asked tentatively.
Su Chen forced a wry smile.
"Auntie, don't tease me. My roommates have been running out all morning, and we both know what they've been doing. What's the point of me voting in this situation?"
"Uh..."
The woman had intended to use this topic as a starting point to inquire about what had happened to Su Chen the previous night.
However, Su Chen's directness left her speechless.
Seeing this, Su Chen continued,
"Fine, since it's already like this, I'll be magnanimous and hold a vote too."
"Who are you going to vote for?"
"I'll vote for myself!"
"What?"
The woman was stunned.
"Unanimous elimination, that's great!"
Su Chen smiled brightly.
Then, without waiting for the dorm aunt to say anything more, he strode out of the dormitory building.
The dorm aunt stared at Su Chen's retreating figure, speechless for a long time.
But after a few seconds, her body trembled slightly. Her
pupils suddenly contracted.
Something's not right!
Su Chen's shadow seems fine!
Under the sun, Su Chen and his shadow, as he walked away, were perfectly in sync.
Su Chen wasn't haunted by anything strange!
Then why did his roommates vote him out?
The dorm aunt was completely dumbfounded.
After a while, she shook her head, no longer thinking about this problem.
She turned and walked back to the dorm supervisor's office.
Picking up the phone on the table, she dialed a number.
"How did Su Chen do when you checked the dorms last night?"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the line, followed by a sigh.
"Quick-witted, unconventional, performed perfectly, and..."
"And what?"
the dorm aunt pressed impatiently.
"Furthermore, those students in Su Chen's class who are on good terms with him also performed exceptionally well. I strongly suspect that Su Chen informed them of the countermeasures beforehand. You should understand what that means."
Hearing this, the older woman gasped.
Dormitories are off-limits after 9 PM, which means Su Chen must have informed his people of the countermeasures for the dormitory checks before then.
Doesn't that mean Su Chen anticipated the dormitory checks before they even began?
If so, Su Chen is practically a genius.
"And that's not all. After observing their movements in the corridor, I noticed they always congregate outside Su Chen's dorm room. This means their companions must have spotted some excellent prey, and they can't wait to get a piece of the pie."
"And then?"
"But Su Chen seems to have seen through all this. No one came out of his dorm last night, leaving them waiting outside his door all night. As a result, the other students who went to the bathroom last night were lucky; nothing happened."
"Any other information?"
"No, that's all for now."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up, the dorm supervisor eagerly dialed Inanna's number.
"Inanna, you've struck gold!"
the supervisor exclaimed excitedly.
