"[Don't worry about who they are, just pretend to be asleep, and nothing will happen, even if they have already climbed beside your bed.]"

"To clarify, the non-human classmate even climbed onto the bed, calling out to him by his ear, and he couldn't bear such psychological torment, so he voluntarily gave up his safe state... he got out of bed."

"As we mentioned before, under the light, the behavior of non-human classmates is restricted. Therefore, Wei Liang had a good chance to quickly escape to the bathroom door after leaping out of the bed, unexpectedly, and then pull open the door and rush in."

"['I was afraid they would hurt me... I was extremely scared...'], so ['I opened the bathroom door...']"

"Here lies the second lie."

"['They rushed in and took away my roommate'], don't forget, what was Song Rentou's purpose? It was to murder his roommate."

"So what happened at that time was not that Song Rentou secretly opened the bathroom door to divert disaster. Because he got out of bed, he broke his own 'safe state,' so in reality, he opened the bathroom door, rushed in, pushed his bewildered roommate out from the shower, and hid inside the bathroom with the door shut tight, waiting for the non-human classmate to kill the last roommate."

"That's why there's this sentence..."

"['It was me who caused my roommate's death... No, it was them who killed my roommate...']"

"And then there's this sentence..."

"['They are right at the door, why won't they leave...'], do you think this means the non-human classmates have left the dormitory? No, this means the non-human classmates were lingering at the bathroom door, not the dormitory door."

"There's an interesting phenomenon: initially, we could see the office door, but Maozi couldn't, so there must be similar layers within this campus area, and these layers all have one very distinct characteristic—self-enclosure."

"Offices, classrooms, dormitories, stairwells... all spaces with 'doors' that are self-enclosed might be an independent layer, or rather, an interlayer, and obviously, the non-human units cannot actively open the doors of these layers. They need someone to help them open it, to put it simply... 'invitation'."

"As for the following words..."

"What 'inevitable fate', what 'it's my turn', what 'my name is Song Rentou', 'they are calling for knocking on the door' and so on, take it as a joke... It's quite obvious he survived in the end."

"How can you be so sure?" Lin Yi asked.

Kuai Hongji looked at Lin Yi as if he was looking at an idiot, shaking the piece of paper in his hand: "Because what's even more absurd than that incident is this piece of paper itself, Old Lin!"

"If you were held at knifepoint, would you bother to jot down your psychological journey?"

Lin Yi's pupils quaked in an instant: "This was written by Song Rentou after he was out of danger!"

Kuai Hongji smirked sinisterly and laid the paper on the table: "That's why I set the tone of my speculation from the beginning."

"Old Lin, you have a notebook too, right? When do you write notes? Surely not in the face of danger, where you forget everything else first to jot down a note, like those idiot parents who post on social media before dealing with their kids' emergencies, right?"

"So this Song Rentou, because of suspicion, wrongly killed one roommate after another and in the end wrote this... The Murderer's Book of Absolution."

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched violently as he looked at the paper before him, sensing that the pure white paper was filled with words written in blood, a short page that seemed like a letter written in blood.

His thought process dwelled on the mentally disturbed state of a severe Polluter after being tormented by the eerie voices of a non-human Unit.

In his estimation, Song Rentou was a forced perpetrator, similar to a mentally ill person killing during a psychotic break.

From Kuai Hongji's perspective, however, Song Rentou was clearly a premeditated, active offender, akin to a sane murderer rationalizing their crime with insanity.

Kuai Hongji glanced at him and suddenly said calmly, "And the darkness I spoke of, do you know what it is?"

Lin Yi fell silent for a moment, glanced at the piece of paper, and mused, "Is it... that he thought from start to finish that his roommates deserved to die?"

"Not just that," Kuai Hongji coldly said, "The real darkness is that by inserting only two lies into ten sentences, you can blur an entire truth."

"That's all, I'm going to lie down; call me if you need anything." Kuai Hongji went straight to bed and lay down, "You guys continue."

At some point during the discussion, Wei Shan finished his shower and got into bed, leaving only Lin Yi and Tian Bufan still sitting up.

Tian Bufan glanced at the clock on the wall.

"22:23, it's getting late, let's continue discussing in bed."

"Alright," Lin Yi nodded, stood up, and first went to the bathroom, "Are you guys going to the toilet?"

"Went during the shower, just go ahead," Tian Bufan said.

"Hey, I need to go! Excuse me, let me go first~" Wei Liang, quick as a dart, jumped out of bed, got to the bathroom before Lin Yi, executed a fast break, and then returned to his bed to resume his 'I really can't hear anything' state with his head buried.

Lin Yi then entered the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

Re-examining the ten-square-meter bathroom after Kuai Hongji's reminder, he increasingly felt the bathroom was like a simple shelter.

"Can the bathroom really handle special situations...?"

"The rules don't mention it..."

Lin Yi did not doubt Kuai Hongji's speculation, even feeling that his guess was more convincing than the one he and Tian Bufan had discussed, and was closer to the truth.

While using the toilet, he pondered Song Rentou's mental state at that time, then suddenly shuddered as he stepped out of the bathroom after finishing.
