These Roommates Have Their Own Traversal System?!

After seeing Xu Huanwen's worsening expression, Yan Xiao paused for a moment, then left without caring about his half-eaten meal. His hurried footsteps made it seem as if he was afraid someone would catch up to him.

Gu Lan couldn't help but cover her face. It seemed like she went too far! She just wanted to get along well with her dormmates, but Yan Xiao fled, and now Jing Yunkui was here.

As an exquisite "pig-like" girl—well, cross-dressing as a pig-like girl—she felt embarrassed for making such a fool of herself in front of Jing Yunkui.

Gu Lan felt awkward looking at Jing Yunkui, so she took the bowl of water in front of her and stood up. "It's alright, I'll leave first."

Jing Yunkui's deep gaze watched Gu Lan. Unlike when she saw him in the morning, he now looked exceptionally gentle. Moreover, this was the first time Gu Lan saw Jing Yunkui's face under the sunlight.

Jing Yunkui had dual personalities—an icy and intelligent young man with strong OCD tendencies. Gu Lan had read the original book's description of him, but when she saw him with her own eyes, she was still stunned by his appearance.

Jing Yunkui exuded a unique temperament that combined melancholy with arrogance. His posture was different from Xu Huanwen, who looked like a dandy, even if he was just holding an ordinary tray; his movements were exceptionally elegant.

He was incredibly beautiful, like a character from a movie in her previous world, resembling a young aristocrat from a British noble family.

His deep facial features hinted at a mixed-race heritage, and there was a melancholic aura that seemed to emanate from his bones. His chestnut-colored hair and deep double eyelids made his long, curled eyelashes stand out.

However, he gave off an overall feeling of "dimness." Unlike Hua Yin's brightness, Xu Huanwen's charm, Yan Xiao's coldness, and Yun Zhe's cuteness, Jing Yunkui exuded a sense of fading vitality.

His pale skin, light lips, and a faint smile all gave the impression that he could shatter at any moment. But he was also aloof, and along with that sense of fragility was a certain distance, as if he had his own world, where he held himself with nobility.

He didn't need anyone's pity and only met the world with indifference.

Seeing Gu Lan staring at Jing Yunkui in a daze, Xu Huanwen lifted the corners of his lips and waved a hand in front of her. "Daydreaming?"

Gu Lan snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head. "No, I... I'm sorry about this morning."

Gu Lan was apologizing for her behavior.

Jing Yunkui seemed to have an especially good temperament. He sat down next to Gu Lan, his light lips curving into a faint smile. He raised his hand and placed some food from his tray next to Gu Lan.

"Are you hungry? I noticed you've been staring at Yan Xiao for a while. You must be starving," he said, his voice as warm and gentle as it was in the morning.

Gu Lan wasn't used to a handsome guy speaking to her like this. She nodded and shook her head randomly. "Not really..."

Jing Yunkui smiled again, "I bought too much food. I can't finish it all by myself. Would you mind helping me out? Please?"

Jing Yunkui's deep gaze held a hint of a smile, and his pupils were light in color, almost translucent like a gem.

Gu Lan felt even more embarrassed. "Well... Since you put it that way, I'll help you. I'll treat you to a meal next time!"

Jing Yunkui looked at Gu Lan and gently shook his head. His messy hair swayed like ripples on water, and his voice was as soothing as a dream.

"It's the thought that counts. I prefer watching people enjoy their meals. It makes me happy too."

Upon hearing Jing Yunkui's words, Xu Huanwen's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Jing Yunkui was a freak; his meals were not something ordinary people could handle.

Thinking this, Xu Huanwen picked up a big chicken leg and put it into Gu Lan's empty bowl. "Eat more."

After finishing their dinner, they said their goodbyes.

Gu Lan looked around and wondered why her dormmates were being so kind to her. There must be something happening tonight.

However, whatever happens, she needs to eat her fill first! If people around her could receive flower wreaths for no reason, then encountering a little monster out of nowhere shouldn't be surprising.

After thanking them, Gu Lan quietly continued eating her meal. Their table was the only one with an empty seat, and the other tables were fully occupied, with some people standing nearby with trays, waiting for a seat.

The residents of Room 444 were the most terrifying and untouchable beings in the school.

Once Gu Lan finished her meal, Jing Yunkui stared at her and spoke in his gentle voice, taking his time, "Are you afraid of death?"

Gu Lan nibbled on the chicken leg and nodded slightly.

Jing Yunkui continued, "Then finish your meal and leave our dorm. This is not a place for you."

Xu Huanwen glanced at Jing Yunkui in surprise, wondering why Jing Yunkui wasn't playing along this time. He loved to mess with people even more than Xu Huanwen did. After observing for a while, Xu Huanwen understood—it was Jing Yunkui's saintly personality speaking.

Hearing this, Gu Lan swallowed the chicken leg, wiped her mouth, and replied seriously, "I currently have nowhere else to go."

Jing Yunkui patiently explained, "In the whole school, only our Room 444 is on the fourth floor. Do you know why?"

Before Gu Lan could respond, Jing Yunkui continued, "Because there are endless nightmares here."

"Nightmares?" Gu Lan asked, recalling the words of her still suckling little system, "Hua Yin is your dormmate, but he's the antagonist of other novels, right?"

If the residents of Room 444 were antagonists from other novels, then the dreams they experienced might be related to events in their original worlds.

Gu Lan was seriously pondering, while Jing Yunkui observed her carefully, a hint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, nightmares. If you can't wake up from a dream, you'll be trapped there forever."

"Three people have died in the fourth-floor dormitory."

"They never woke up again."

Gu Lan couldn't help but feel like the story was turning into a ghost story. Could it be that all these people were antagonists from ghost stories?

As she was thinking, Gu Lan subconsciously licked her lips—it could be so interesting.

The excitement in Gu Lan's eyes was noticed by the two men present.

Xu Huanwen found it amusing too. "It seems you really aren't afraid of death. Then, have a good night's sleep when it comes. Sweet dreams."

Jing Yunkui gazed deeply at Gu Lan and spoke, "I don't want you to die. Take care of yourself."

After devouring three chicken legs, Gu Lan finally felt satisfied. When she returned to the dormitory at night, she covered herself with a blanket, eagerly awaiting the midnight nightmare.

What could this nightmare be that Jing Yunkui specifically warned her about?

As Gu Lan was contemplating, her shy and still suckling system suddenly spoke, "Host, you... you are about to enter another transmigration scenario. I advise you to escape quickly—"

Before Gu Lan could fully comprehend what was happening, she felt a sudden dizziness in her head.

When she woke up again, she found herself being held by her neck.

Struggling to open her eyes, she saw a sickly-looking Jing Yunkui standing in front of her, his deep eyes narrowed, and a faint smile on his pale lips.

"I told you to take care of yourself. But it seems like you have a lot of courage. Have you considered becoming my test subject?"
