BFWGSW Chapter 4

I followed, wondering why she didn’t come in. I’d waited half a day for her to come, only for her to poke her head in, look at me and leave.

“Dormitory manager aunty, why don’t you take care of me ah?” I stood at the door of the dormitory. The dormitory manager had just opened the door of the dormitory to the right of my room in preparation for the dormitory check. I walked over and patted her on the shoulder in a self-conscious manner, then looked at the rows of shivering students in the battlefield inside and wondered, “Are you hungry?”

The dormitory manager gave me a curt look, “No, I’m checking the dormitory.”

“Checking the dormitory?” I smeared the blood at the corner of her mouth with my hand, “This is left over from your cannibalism, isn’t it? How dare you lie!” After saying that, I gave the dormitory manager a loud slap, the force of which spun the monster 360 degrees in place before collapsing on the ground.

In full view of the shocked gazes of my fellow dormitory students from across the hall, I dragged the fallen dormitory manager into my room.

“I’m so damn bored, I’m looking for you to nag me.”

The dormitory manager struggled desperately and even showed her original form, a blackened clay figure, before letting out a shrill scream that pierced my eardrums. I dragged her into my dorm and immediately closed the doors, restoring calm to the hallway once again.

The dormitory manager wasn’t sure what I was going to do and looked at me in fear as if I was the man-eating monster. I took a thermos and told her to drink the water, then sat down on the bed and started asking her questions.

“Do you know where the principal’s office is?”

The dormitory manager froze, showing immense fear. I don’t know if it was just me, but the temperature in the dormitory was much lower. She covered her mouth and wouldn’t answer me. She only wished to make me let her go.

“Let me get on with the dormitory check, your dorm room has qualified.”

“Of course, I know about this kind of thing, but I still don’t know anything about this school. You can take me to the principal’s office and let me do a search. I have to gain something from you in order to do it, otherwise I’ll eat you. It’s even better if you can be resurrected. It’s better to see you every time and eat you every time… and hug and nibble you every day. I won’t have to go to the cafeteria to eat. ”

I said this with a smile on my face. I was having so much fun saying it that the dormitory manager, who had had her face ripped off by me, and who knew I could do something like that, could only take a careful step back and hope that I would compromise.

“I can take you to the principal’s office. The rest of the clues need to be found on your own, since I’m one of the ones who’s trapped and can’t do anything about it.”

“Che, punk.”

The dormitory manager was a bit angry, “Young people like you, ah, do not know how to respect the old and love the young. The mind is set on all the weird stuff, and it’s definitely all about playing with your phone.”

I kicked her in the ass and told her to take me to the principal’s office. The dormitory manager told me, “I have rules to follow too. If you want to get into the principal’s office, you need to wait for me to check in and meet me at the door of my office on the first floor at midnight.”

“What if there’s an ambush, do you think I’m stupid? I’m going to check the dormitory with you.” I looked at the dormitory manager’s wrinkled up face. The other party was reluctant, but there was no way out. I was eyeing her like a god of killing. If she didn’t fulfil my request at this moment, then from now on this dormitory manager would never have a complete body again.

With the other party’s consent, I cheerfully followed the girls’ dormitory manager to inspect the dorms together. The students were scared silly. The usual dormitory manager’s dormitory inspection was a nightmare for them. This time the dormitory manager was actually so normal, which made many students even more alarmed, fearing that the rules were going to be altered due to the change.

“Classmate, the dustbin is not very clean.” The dormitory manager was about to have a fit with one of my classmates, when I rushed over to her and yelled, “You piece of shit, the trash cans don’t have to be the same as the new ones. Doesn’t it matter if you don’t allow garbage to be put in it, even if it’s a little dusty?! “¹I think the gist of this paragraph is simply that since it’s a dustbin, it’s going to get filthy no matter what you do, so it’s ridiculous to expect it to be super clean and still look the same as when it was new..

“It’s a school rule.”

“Bullshit. I’m warning you not to play around.”

The dormitory manager felt that it was really too disgraceful. She was toyed with by a human, and she still couldn’t beat the other party. Was this crazy student on the opposite side of the room really a human being? She had never seen such a human being before, and she was simply a monster.

The night was very peaceful. The dormitory manager only ate a few students from the dorms, and never ate anyone else after the room 206 dormitory check. It lasted until almost midnight, when I followed her to the dormitory manager’s office. I then followed the hints given by the pop-ups to frantically rummage through the dormitory. I took everything I could, as well as several rolls of toilet paper, because I didn’t have any.

The system’s tone came again, reminding me【The dormitory office has been unlocked. World exploration level: 3%】

I looked towards the key hanging on the wall of the dormitory. I thought about taking it down but thought better of it. What if I took the key and triggered something later? What would I do if I became a dormitory manager as well? I didn’t want to get into trouble, so I went back to my own dormitory 206 after taking a few documents and daily necessities.

It was a quiet night. The dormitory lights suddenly went out at 10 p.m. so I had to use the bright light of my smartphone to read all the piles of papers.

In Yongxin Junior High School, dormitories, cafeterias, and school buildings all exist independently from each other. The different areas are managed by different people, and likewise there will be different rules. There is a student entry and exit registration form among the documents, and any student who intends to go home is required to report to the dormitory manager, with the consent of his or her homeroom teacher.

The process is to have the homeroom teacher write down a permit agreeing that the student could go home, and to then take the permit and show it to the dormitory manager. You can leave the area with your luggage after the dormitory manager stamps it. The gatekeepers at the school are also required to be shown something, but the paperwork doesn’t say what specifically.

Maybe I can go along with the process and see what happens, and while I’m looking for the principal’s office, I can incidentally get my homeroom teacher to give me a school-leaving permit.

Other than these valid documents, the rest of the documents are full of inexplicable things, like some students’ personal references and janitor’s resumes, as well as shopping lists of necessities purchased in the previous months.

【Find the clues to the principal’s office. World exploration: 10%】

My heart thumped in my chest. How could reading a file increase it so much? A large part of this increase had something to do with the principal’s office. I had a hunch that if I wanted to escape from Yongxin Junior High School, the principal’s office might be an important place that had to be searched for and explored.

It’s not impossible to get through the two weeks safely, but I really hate places like the school. I just met so many strange people and things on my first day, and I don’t know what I’ll run into down the road. Living for two weeks, I’d rather be left alone. I decided to try to escape from this place and give it a go.

I figured out in my head what I needed to do tomorrow and made my bed before laying on it.

Even though I was going to bed, the pop-ups were still scolding me for going to bed too early when I should have been out exploring. I turned off my smartwatch without looking at it. After venting my anger at the pop-up keyboard warrior to the empty room and swearing several times, it seemed as if there was a breeze in the room. I ignored the breeze and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning at 6:00 a.m., an alarm sounded from the dormitories. It was a very loud uniform alarm that was playing in the dormitory. I woke up covering my head, with my SAN value fully restored. I stripped off my bloodied clothes and prepared to get up in earnest and do some serious exploring today.

The stained clothes were thrown on my bed and, after putting on my new school uniform, I opened the door and prepared to leave the dormitory.

Just in time, I met the girls from the left and right side of the dormitory who came out to wash up. They saw me walk out of the dormitory alone and intact, and they coincidentally revealed happy yet complicated looks.

The girls in the dormitory to my right quietly approached me and expressed their gratitude to me. If it weren’t for my behaviour yesterday, they might have become dormitory rations.

“Surviving in this dormitory, everyone’s a pig in a poke. All of us are thankful for your help yesterday, but haven’t you seen anything since you’ve been living in the dorm alone?”

The girl quietly glanced at the inner room of my dormitory, instantly filled with fear, as if she had seen something particularly horrifying. Wang Meng’er also looked in, similarly revealing a horrified expression. She helped me close the door to 206, then asked me, “Did you see that?”

I was wondering what it was that I had seen?

Seeing my confusion, Wang Meng’er shivered and replied in fear, “It’s that black and very long shadow.”

“There’s nothing at all?” Hearing me say that, Wang Meng’er seemed to have thought of something, and she and her other two friends gave me a relieved smile.

“You seem to be very resistant to this kind of stuff, so maybe you really are a god send from the heavens to stop all this.”

I ignored her and took the dormitory key given to me by that boy yesterday and headed downstairs. While going to look for clues for the principal’s office today, let’s also make a trip to the boys’ dormitory. After all, room 404 where this key is located is also considered to be one of the clues in the system hints.

Seeing this, Wang Meng’er suddenly pulled my arm and kindly reminded me, “Only bad students who make mistakes and are able to confess them are allowed to see the principal.”

Wang Meng’er spoke with incomparable sincerity, as though it was the truth. I nodded my head to indicate that I knew, and then went downstairs to prepare to leave the dormitory building to head to the teaching building.

The dormitory manager was still checking the students at the door, but when she saw me, she acted as if she hadn’t seen me. She checked the other students as usual except me, and directly let me go through. I guess she was afraid. I didn’t waste any time, and immediately rushed to the school building, ready to look for the teacher of the 6th class of the second year of junior high school to apply for a certificate of absence from the school.

It was not time for class yet, and there was nobody around the school building at all. The school building looked strange today; it was not the clean look of yesterday, but looked dirty and shabby, like a deserted building that had been abandoned for a long time. I looked at my smartwatch, which was labelled as 6:30. I took the time to walk in through the gate, and went to stroll around the first floor first, which had male and female toilets in addition to six first-year classrooms, with the faculty office at the far end of the corridor.

The faculty office was where the teachers and the director were located. If I wanted to find clues related to the principal, it would be the best place to look for them. The faculty office was in a closed and inaccessible state at the moment, so I thought of my powers, and immediately activated them to destroy the door.

As long as it’s within my boundary, everything is vulnerable to my attack, and the door blocked by the mysterious power was no exception. After I opened the door, I was shocked by the sight in front of me.

Blood covered the ground, with countless broken limbs and arms. Not only were there tragic scenes and human body parts everywhere, but even the scenery outside the window of the office was as if it was in the middle of the night, with the illumination of the moonlight and the stars in the sky contrasting sharply with the sunny world outside the door.

I continued to use my ability and stepped with one foot into the faculty office wearing my flat sneakers. A cold air came from the ground from all sides. The corpses that had originally collapsed in a pool of blood suddenly moved, but the kinetic energy was still not sufficient. They squirmed for a couple of seconds and then didn’t react.

I saw that there was a computer where the head of the grade’s desk was located, so I barreled over to it, stepping over the blood, and realized that it was on standby. I was about to use the keyboard to wake it up, when I suddenly realized that the keyboard was made up of chunks of blood-soaked flesh, which was very disgusting.

I fought back the nausea and hit enter to wake up the computer and found that it had a password on it, drat.

Just as I was about to leave, a male teacher appeared in the office out of nowhere. He stood behind me without saying a word, and I didn’t realize it until I backed up and bumped into him.

The male teacher was panting heavily and staring unblinkingly at me.

“Did you come to the faculty office because you wanted to improve your grades?”

The male teacher was scanning my body up and down, “Are you the student from 2nd grade class 6? Your homeroom teacher said she was beaten up, and it was you, the bad student, wasn’t it?”

I suddenly thought of the rule in the student code, which said that the faculty office was safe, and students who wanted to improve their grades could visit the faculty office, but with this entire place full of body parts and strange teachers, I had a feeling that the rule was a lie.

“I’m looking for my homeroom teacher, is she here?”

The male teacher stared at me half-heartedly, then answered me, “The second-grade homeroom teachers are in their offices on the second floor, not here.”

“Got it, goodbye teacher.” I was looking for a good excuse to leave, when the male teacher instantly stretched out his hand and grabbed my wrist. He said with a smile, “I don’t know if your grades are good or not? If you have a question about your grades, you can always come to the faculty office.”

“To find you? What’s your name, teacher?”

There was a surge of heat coming from my wrist and a harsh smell of some kind of chemical coming from the tall male teacher in front of me, as if I wasn’t dealing with a human being, but a formalin-soaked corpse.

“My last name is Hu, just call me Mr. Hu Wei. I’m the English teacher of the first-year class 4.”

A very irritating burning pain came from the wrist he was holding in his hands. After the male teacher let go of my hands and let me go out, I realized that I had deep burn marks on my wrists.

I underestimated the monsters here. They actually hurt me, which pissed me off. This kind of burn hurts, don’t you know? I turned back to the faculty office which was once again closed tightly and started planning a vengeful retaliation.

 Translator’s Note: The entire situation with the male teacher was honestly so disgusting and deeply unsettling, since that is actually behaviour that can (and does) happen in real life. On another note: Updates will be sporadic since I’m currently juggling a full-time job from 7am to 5pm daily, and then coming home to what is supposed to be full-time university studies. April and May are going to be horror months because of all the exams, quizzes, and portfolio assignments that are due, but I’ll be try to keep updating as regularly as possible. Thanks for your kind understanding 🙂
