Chapter 188: The Brother Sleeping on the Top Bunk (Part 2)
```
Of course, whether Han Zhao is awake or not, the purpose of recording this bizarre video has been achieved.
The three people in the lower bunk opposite were silent, quietly filming.
Chen Kun was constantly attentive to the strangeness's every move.
Sitting up, the boy lifted his quilt with an expressionless face, wearing only his boxer shorts and a black tank top, and climbed down from the upper bunk.
His movements were stiff, like they were part of a preset program, with every action executed by the book.
Soon, the boy reached the ground, standing in front of Han Zhao's bed without moving.
At that moment, the other three didn't believe Han Zhao could still be asleep. The noise just now, combined with the currently spreading chill, must have surely awakened him long ago.
The young man stood at the foot of Han Zhao's bed for several minutes, then turned around. Although the lighting was dim, his face was still clearly captured on the cell phone camera.
Walking to the dormitory door, he opened it and slowly walked out.
It was about half a minute later before anyone dared to speak softly.
Zhang Wei whispered, "Did you see the way he walked? So weird!"
"Yeah, not only walking on tiptoes, but even his toes were spread apart, like hands grasping the ground," Chen Kun, wearing glasses, observed closely.
"It feels as if... he's afraid of falling over," Guo Jintao couldn't help saying.
After waiting a moment, there was still no sound from the hallway.
Their video was still running, but the man did not return after going out.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei said, "Should we go out and have a look? Otherwise, we might miss some exciting footage."
"Big bro, there's only one corridor outside. If we go out and run into him coming back, do you want a face-to-face hug with him?" Guo Jintao said.
"I'll just take a look at the door."
Chen Kun adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, slipped off the bed without putting on shoes, and ran to the half-closed door. He pulled open the door to reveal the somewhat dark corridor outside and stuck his head out.
The other two watched his movements. In less than half a minute, Chen Kun reached back and gestured for them to come, turning his head to say, "There's a street light outside the building. It's fairly visible. The guy hasn't come back. Should we go to the washroom and film?"
"Damn, I'm scared," Guo Jintao shook his head.
"Scared of what? As long as you don't touch him or block his way, what can he do to you?" Zhang Wei jumped down from the bed, put on his shoes, opened the door, and, still filming on his phone, went out.
Chen Kun still stood at the door, turning back to ask Guo Jintao, "Are you going? Zhang Wei has gone to the washroom. You don't have to go there. Just film here in the corridor, and you can capture the man coming back."
After a moment of hesitation, Guo Jintao nodded, got out of bed, put on his shoes, and before leaving, he reached out and gave the still and silent Han Zhao on the lower bunk a pat: "Lil' bro, your brothers are risking their necks for you, through hell and high water, and you still have the nerve to sleep!"
Without waiting for Han Zhao to respond, he turned and left the dormitory.
Considering this, they had earlier thought Han Zhao was awoken by the noise of the man in the black tank top getting out of bed, but it now seemed utterly impossible; the guy was truly asleep, sleeping like a log.
Chen Kun stood by the door, still holding it.
Once out of the dormitory, Guo Jintao immediately pressed his back against the wall outside the corridor by the dormitory side and aimed his phone's camera down the corridor toward the washroom.

From the video he was filming, one could see that the bravest Zhang Wei, who had ventured out first, had stealthily reached the doorway of the washroom. However, he didn't go inside. Instead, he squatted beside the door, crouching low, and used his phone to film inside.
The washroom was quite spacious. The outside section had a row of U-shaped washbasins, accommodating up to twelve people washing at the same time, and the inside area was the toilet, with eight stalls.
The toilet was routinely cleaned, so it was quite tidy. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
As Zhang Wei reached the outermost entrance to the washroom, he saw the eerie man standing at the door leading to the toilets.
After filming with his phone for a while, the man didn't go towards the washbasins but walked straight into the toilet. Then, the sound of a stall door opening and closing could be heard.
"Could it be that strangenesses also get up to use the toilet in the middle of the night?" Zhang Wei listened intently, hesitated at the doorway for a moment, then slowly moved, inching closer to the toilets.
It's said that the world never lacks people with a death wish, no matter how dangerous the situation or how dire the circumstances, there will always be one or two individuals who leap out, performing acts beyond anyone's imagination.
Guo Jintao, who was standing in the hallway filming, couldn't believe Zhang Wei was sneaking in and immediately wanted to pull out a 40-meter-long sword, allow the guy to walk 39.9 meters, and then chop him to death with one strike.
Standing in the hallway to film was already Guo Jintao's limit, so he couldn't comprehend Zhang Wei's actions.
As Guo Jintao anxiously contemplated whether to warn the guy or simply turn around and head back to the dormitory, his eyes suddenly widened, staring ahead. He broke out in a cold sweat as he saw another unfamiliar black shadow appear right after Zhang Wei sneaked in, following him to the entrance of the washroom.
Meanwhile, Zhang Wei cautiously approached the toilet door and peeked inside.
The lights in the toilet were always on, and despite being dim, made it easy to clearly see the surroundings.
The eerie man had just come in not long ago, and after a quick glance, Zhang Wei noticed that only the third stall from the end, nearest the interior, was closed.
It was certain that the strange man had entered this stall.
After some thought, Zhang Wei couldn't resist the urge to take a historic step closer to the brink of disaster.
Upon entering the toilet, Zhang Wei's plan was to run to the side of the third stall from the end—the fourth stall—to possibly capture even more sensational footage.
For instance, footage of strangenesses urinating. After all, if he really got such footage, it would most definitely make him a hit on the video platform.
Many people were particularly keen on doing this.
As long as it hit the trending list, it didn't matter whether the livestream involved drinking spicy water or swallowing a large bowl of garlic in one go. There had been people on platforms like "Tremor" who had done even more outrageous stunts, and some had even died during a livestream.
In the end, the goal was fame. Madness was the price of fame.
After sneaking into the fourth stall, Zhang Wei immediately pulled the door shut behind him with a quick lift, making sure it closed without a sound.
Of course, he didn't dare to lock the door, as that would surely make noise.
Then Zhang Wei crouched down, aiming his phone's camera through the gap between the stall door and the floor.
His movements were so practiced, his timing so perfect, and his angle so precise, it was as if he had done this sort of thing many times before.
Then, tilting his head to look at the screen of his phone that displayed the footage, he froze.
On the screen, an upside-down face completely filled the frame, staring directly at him on this side of the partition.
