I contacted Zhang Zhuo and told him about my conversation with Zhao Xinyue.

The rules require that the lights be turned off at exactly eleven o'clock, and after the lights are off, make sure to be in bed. It's clear that Zhang Lin wanted me to violate this rule, which means this rule is for my protection. But how can I successfully leave the dormitory?

I stared at Rule Seven on the list of rules that had never been triggered.

【Do not exchange clothes with anyone.】

What does exchanging clothes mean in this school? There are teachers, students, security guards, and dormitory staff...

Dormitory staff? A bright idea struck me. Teachers and students don't have specific uniforms, but the dormitory staff does. When I first arrived, I saw the auntie who works as a dormitory staff downstairs, wearing a red vest with "Dormitory Staff" written on the back.

Does this mean I can exchange clothes with the dormitory staff and take on her identity to leave the dormitory building, so I won't be considered a student anymore?

I quickly told Zhang Zhuo about this information. We agreed to meet in the cafeteria at half past eleven tonight and then go look for the library together.

At ten-thirty, I heard the sound of the dormitory staff checking the rooms next door. I was about to open the door when someone grabbed my hand.

"Ningning, where are you going?"

I turned around and saw Xia Ruyue staring straight at me.

I pretended to be calm and said, "I dropped something downstairs today, and I want to go find it."

She looked at me for a moment before letting go and smiling, "Go early and come back early, Ningning. It's not safe outside when it's late."

I quickly opened the door and went out. I happened to encounter the dormitory staff coming out of the neighboring room, and she looked surprised to see me.

I took a gamble and asked, "Auntie, can I exchange clothes with you?"

She looked at me without saying a word, and just when I thought it wouldn't work, she handed me her vest and pointed me in a direction.

I was overjoyed. It seems that Zhang Zhuo was right; the dormitory staff will help us.

I hurriedly ran in the direction the dormitory staff indicated, which was the hidden elevator entrance.

I quickly went in and pressed the button for the first floor. The elevator slowly descended, but it stopped on the third floor. The elevator doors opened, and I held my breath.

It was Xia Ruyue, Zhang Lin, and Zhao Xinyue.

Why are they here?

A hint of malice flashed in Xia Ruyue's eyes. She smiled at me and said, "Ningning, it's late. We should go back."

After speaking, she reached out her hand to grab me. But at this critical moment, Zhao Xinyue desperately held them back and shouted at me, "Quick, press the elevator button!"

I immediately pressed the elevator door close button, and the elevator continued to go down. Finally, it reached the first floor, and I ran towards the exit of the dormitory building.

I finally made it out, but I didn't dare to rest. I continued running towards the direction of the cafeteria.

In the pitch-black night, cold and silent, I didn't dare to look back. I ran forward with all my strength. I thought I would encounter the danger that Zhao Xinyue mentioned at night, but in reality, I didn't encounter anything. I smoothly arrived at the cafeteria.

There was still half an hour left until the agreed time, and I quietly waited for Zhang Zhuo in the dark night.

Finally, a figure appeared in the dim light.

It was Jiang Zhou!
