This is a bizarre rule, isn't it? It's supposed to grant me many children and good fortune

Chapter 397 Dave Won't Make It Through Tonight

Park Ji-won looked at Lin Feng, a hint of expectation in her eyes:

"Senior Lin, does the Silent Mirror Temple have a medical room? Perhaps there's a way to control the pollution."

Lin Feng slowly shook his head: "Since entering the temple, the Guide has never mentioned the infirmary. Considering the rules here, there shouldn't be one."

"Then Dave..." Park Ji-won stopped mid-sentence.

Wasim immediately said in a deep voice, "For safety's sake, it's best not to let him sleep in the barracks tonight."

"Why?!" Dave immediately became agitated, his face turning bright red. "I haven't been contaminated! You're deliberately targeting me!"

"That ridiculous rule is completely fake; it's just something the temple uses to make fun of us!"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, and his entire body of fat trembled.

As if stimulated by his emotions, the worms under his skin began to wriggle more and more frequently, and bumps kept appearing on his neck and arms.

Lin Feng frowned slightly as he looked at the excited Dave, and remained silent for a moment.

He knew that forcibly removing Dave at this moment would only provoke his deeper anger or accelerate his alienation.

After a moment's thought, Lin Feng's tone softened somewhat:

"Alright, stop arguing. This isn't the place to talk. Let's go back to our quarters and talk."

Upon hearing this, Dave's anger subsided considerably, and he quickly nodded.

"Lin Feng really has a broad perspective! I knew you wouldn't target me!"

"Come on, let's hurry back to our quarters. I told you I'm fine, I'll rest for the night and be better tomorrow!"

Back to dormitory number 56.

As soon as he entered the room, Dave sat down on the bed, panting heavily and rubbing his sore arms.

Lin Feng then rolled onto the bed, slowly closed his eyes, and began to infinitely deduce the activation.

In an instant, the surrounding scenery disappeared, and Lin Feng found himself in a hazy simulation space. The scene of dormitory number 56 appeared before his eyes, exactly the same as the dormitory in reality.

Time is moving forward rapidly.

The eternal lamp in the cell emitted a faint, eerie light. Dave lay on his bed, fast asleep, but his brow was furrowed, his face showing pain, and his body twitched occasionally, while the worms under his skin wriggled more and more frequently.

Just at midnight, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Dave suddenly sat bolt upright in bed, his eyes wide open and vacant, letting out a shrill roar. His skin began to crack, and countless tiny black worms crawled out of the wounds, covering his entire body in a dense mass.

His originally obese body began to twist and mutate, his shoulders became high, his fingers became thin and sharp, and his whole body exuded a thick black aura.

The mutated Dave lunged at Lin Feng, Wasim, and Park Ji-won's bed, waving his hands as countless black insects shed from his body and rained down on the three of them indiscriminately...

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng's heart sank, and he immediately opened his eyes, ending the deduction.

Dave absolutely cannot stay in the dorm!

Otherwise, all three of them would be buried with him!

Without the slightest hesitation, he closed his eyes again and initiated the simulation. This time, he simulated the scenario of forcibly taking Dave away.

In the simulation space, he and Vassim took advantage of Dave's inattention and rushed forward, grabbing Dave's arms on either side, trying to forcibly take him out of the dormitory.

But after dragging for only a few steps, Dave's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and his body erupted with dense black energy, as if he had become completely "red-hot," and his body rapidly swelled up.

The next second, a loud explosion was heard.

Black mist filled the entire dormitory, and Dave transformed into countless black insects.

The two were violently thrown to the ground by the shockwave of the explosion. Before they could even get up, the insects swarmed up like a tide...

The simulation ended again, and Lin Feng opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.

It seems that forcibly removing him is absolutely not feasible, as it would trigger Dave's red-hot self-destruction.

At that moment, Wasim's searching gaze fell upon them.

Lin Feng gave him a subtle look, then got out of bed and said to Vassim, "Come on, come with me for a smoke."

The two walked out of the dormitory and came to the end of the corridor.

Lin Feng briefly concealed the results of his previous deduction:

"When I was meditating just now, a strong premonition suddenly came over me—Dave won't make it through the night."

"He will become completely alienated, lose all reason, and launch indiscriminate attacks against us."

Wasim immediately clenched his fist: "Then kick him out now!"

Lin Feng shook his head: "No. While I was meditating just now, a scene flashed through my mind—"

"Once we forcibly remove him, he will completely 'go into red heat,' his whole body will swell and explode, and black insects will swarm everywhere..."

Wasim, stroking his chin in thought, suddenly had a flash of inspiration:

"Rule 1: Those who practice cultivation must sleep in an upright posture. They must not curl up, lie on their stomach, or sleep on their side; they can only lie flat on their back."

"Could we use this rule? After he falls asleep, could we find a way to get him to sleep on his side..."

Lin Feng shook his head and interrupted, "That's too risky."

"Leaving aside how he moved his body so quietly, there are likely some unspoken rules in the dormitory, such as prohibiting any 'external interference' with a sleeping roommate."

"If we break the rules, we're the ones who will be punished!"

He then changed the subject: "Rule number eight does offer an opportunity—you must light a calming incense stick when using the toilet, and you must leave before the incense burns out; you cannot linger."

Wasim narrowed his eyes slightly: "You mean... while he's using the toilet, let the incense burn out prematurely, or extinguish it completely?"

Lin Feng nodded: "That's right. That way he'll be executed directly in the toilet, without affecting us in the dormitory."

Wasim frowned. "But what if it only worsens the contamination instead of resulting in immediate execution? Wouldn't that be even worse?"

Lin Feng said confidently, "Don't worry, it's an immediate execution!"

He had previously deduced this rule.

Wasim pondered for a moment and said, "But there are still two problems."

"First, what if Dave doesn't need to poop?"

"Secondly, even if he goes, how can we guarantee that the incense for calming the soul will burn out or go out before then?"

Lin Feng smiled mysteriously and took out a small bottle from his personal space:

"This is a strong laxative. I originally kept it on hand in case I ate something unclean and needed it as an emergency."

After saying that, he took out several bags of potato chips and four bottles of cola.

Wasim was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but laugh, patting Lin Feng on the shoulder with admiration:

"Dude, you've got a supermarket on your back—you can find almost anything you want!"

Lin Feng unscrewed one of the cola bottles, poured in the laxative, gently shook it to mix, and then tightened the cap.

Wasim glanced at the bottle of cola, a hint of concern in his eyes: "This cap's been tampered with. Won't Dave suspect something?"

Lin Feng smiled faintly, slowly unscrewed the caps of the other three bottles of cola, poured a little cola from each bottle, and then spoke:

"For example, to test the safety of Coca-Cola, we opened every bottle and tasted it."

Wasim's eyes lit up, and he gave Lin Feng a thumbs up: "As expected of you! That move was absolutely brilliant!"
