Tian Bufan leaned back slightly, gradually letting the weight of his body rest on the back of the chair, and looked at Kuai Hongji with a half-smiling expression, "Why would I think they need to drag people out of the dormitory before killing them?"

"You talk first; I'm drying my hair," Kuai Hongjie said, rubbing his hair with a towel. "Fatty, your turn."

He pointed towards the bathroom, leaving some room for Wei Shan to pass, while he himself tossed his changed clothes into the washing machine.

Lin Yi subconsciously glanced at him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed; he noticed that Kuai Hongji's shirt seemed dirty, but the school uniform was very clean.

However, that was just a fleeting observation, and Kuai Hongji had already closed the washing machine lid, pressing the button to send the clothes off.

When Kuai Hongji began to blow-dry his hair, Tian Bufan said, "Don't forget, even if the layers of the school grounds start to crumble, the non-human classmates still don't have much fighting power when the lights are on."

"I infer that the incident happened after 22:00, by which time the dormitory building's corridor lights were off, while the lights inside the dormitories were still on."

"After Song Rentou opened the door, those non-human classmates rushed in and dragged Song Rentou's roommate into the darkness, and then killed him."

Kuai Hongji finished drying his hair and said with a smile, "A swarm of insects, though weak, can still overwhelm a small number of people when in sufficient quantity."

"Non-human classmates, like robots, don't feel fatigue or pain. Given enough numbers, they can still inflict enough damage under the light..."

"And don't forget, if the layers fall, it's rather possible that the phenomenon described in the rules, with fog and wind in the dormitory building's corridor, will occur. Under those circumstances, the mist will enter the dormitory just the same."

"Do you remember the day we entered the school? Sufficiently dense mist can compress the range of streetlights, so I don't believe that the non-human classmates don't have any combat power in the dormitory, not to mention, the ones they faced were not a group with a strong will, but a group of people on the verge of a mental breakdown," Kuai Hongji remarked.

Tian Bufan's eyes curved slightly with a smile, "Interesting... Keep talking, let me see what you think."

"Sheesh, you think you could come up with something I haven't already considered?" Kuai Hongji scoffed disdainfully.

"Come on, use your reasoning to guide Old Lin," Tian Bufan gestured to the chair beside him, "Starting today, the school grounds will probably not be calm anymore, let Old Lin experience your line of thought..."

Lin Yi had an expression of complete bemusement: "???"

What does he mean by "use your reasoning to guide Old Lin," and "let Old Lin experience your line of thought"? Does he really think I can switch forms like a Dragon Warrior or change modes like Kamen Rider by slotting in a card?

Am I usually "Lin Yi Dragon God", and in crucial moments, I can switch to "Tian Bufan Dragon God" and "Kuai Hongji Dragon God"?

Wouldn't that make this "Lin Yi Dragon God" seem kind of lame?

"Follow my train of thought," Kuai Hongji said, "when I saw this slip of paper, what first came to my mind was not the course of the events, but how 'Song Rentou', who left behind this paper, managed to maintain his 'safe status' after the non-human classmates had entered the dormitory?"

"Young Master Tian thinks it's because he didn't consider his identity information... thus he avoided the non-human classmates' attack," Kuai Hongji glanced at Tian Bufan. "I think otherwise."

"Just taking Young Master Tian's point, after 22:00 in the dormitory... After the door was opened, the 'safe status' of the dormitory was compromised."

"At such a time, the only place that could maintain a 'safe status' would be—either lying in bed asleep or pretending to be asleep."

"That is to say, if Song Rentou wanted to continue to maintain a safe status, he must have gone back to his bed before non-human classmates entered after opening the door, meaning his bed had to be close enough to the door, ideally... this one."

Kuai Hongji pointed at the bed near the dormitory door.

Anyone who often plays the role of an adopted father in the dormitory knows that the bed near the door typically takes the responsibility of turning off the lights, but sometimes the adopted son who doesn't return at night, but suddenly comes back and forgets his key, if he doesn't want to get up to open the door, will often reach for the doorknob from the bed with some special means, like...

Kuai Hongji rummaged through the wardrobes and then found a clothes rod in the corner.

Seeing the clothes rod in Kuai Hongji's hand, Lin Yi felt a chill on his scalp.

Tian Bufan and he were still deducing at the theoretical level, and yet Kuai Hongji was already looking for evidence?!

And damned if he hadn't found it!

Damn, next season you'll be defending James single-handedly.

"So, setting aside whether Song Rentou and his roommates had suffered a mental breakdown, and no matter what means the non-human classmates used to kill the roommate, in the end, the person who opened the dormitory door and 'invited' the non-human classmates into the dormitory, is the one who used the clothes rod to push the door handle," Kuai Hongji explained.

"And this person also maintained a 'safe status' by pretending to be asleep on the bed, which is the only way to avoid the attack of the non-human classmates, and also, to become the person who survived as a result."

"This person is the one who ultimately wrote down on this slip of paper, and based on the information on the paper, let's call him... 'Song Rentou'."

"So just as I said, why drag the roommate out? Once the door opens, one lies on the bed, and you don't have to worry about anything else; the non-human classmates will take care of everything apart from the roommate who is taking a shower in the bathroom."
