The rules did not stipulate that Zhou Bai could not speak during this period.
Therefore, Zhou Bai felt that it was very reasonable to ask the other party's identity when he heard a knock on the door.
There was a knock on the door, and after hearing Zhou Bai's question, he seemed to be stunned.
Suddenly it stopped.
The room also became quiet.
Seeing that there was no sound, Zhou Bai guessed that the other party had not left.
So he walked closer to the door, put his ear close to the door, and listened for the sounds outside the door.
It was very quiet outside the door, and there was no unnecessary sound.
Just when Zhou Bai wanted to leave the door.
suddenly.
A nail scratched across the door, making a harsh sound that fell directly into Zhou Bai's ears.
Zhou Bai was frightened by the sudden sound and took a step back.
Then he saw the door handle in front of him turning constantly.
"Click, click, click..."
The thing outside the door seemed to want to open Zhou Bai's door.
Zhou Bai calmed down and frowned after seeing clearly the situation he was facing.
The rule is not to leave the room or open the door.
But it doesn’t seem to say that it’s absolutely safe if you follow the rules.
The thing outside the door still has the possibility of opening Zhou Bai's door.
Zhou Bai thought of this, stared closely at the door handle that kept turning, picked up a clothes hanger next to him, and reluctantly used it as a weapon.
Fortunately, Zhou Bai had the habit of locking the door every night when he went to bed.
The door seems to be of good quality. The guy outside won't come in for a while.
Even so, Zhou Bai still wasn't completely relieved.
He stood by the door, watching the door handle in front of him warily, turning it constantly.
At this moment, the turtle in the water basin began to become restless for some reason.
I saw it kept banging its head against the basin angrily, making a sound of "哐, 哐, 哐".
Then, various harsh whistling sounds were made.
Zhou Bai looked at the turtle in confusion.
I guess it became so irritable after hearing the harsh noises outside.
Just when Zhou Bai was thinking about how to comfort the turtle and make it calm down,
The person outside the door scratching the door with his nails seemed to hear the sound of a turtle, and suddenly stopped.
The turtle didn't hear the sound of scratching at the door, and stopped hitting its head against the basin.
The thing outside the door stopped for a while, seeming to recognize the turtle's voice.
Then he made the sound of footsteps and slowly left the door of Zhou Bai's room.
Zhou Bai quickly looked carefully at the strange turtle in his room.
At this time, he even suspected that he might have accidentally brought back a big boss.
He observed the turtle carefully again.
However, except that he looks a bit older, he doesn't seem to be much different from other members of the shelter.
The turtle's irritable mood slowly returned to calm until the footsteps moved away.
Zhou Bai saw that the turtle had regained its composure and was lying on the stone again. The surroundings finally became quiet.
So, he also lay back on the bed and fell asleep again.
At 7:30 the next morning, Zhou Bai was woken up on time by his cell phone ringing.
He turned off the alarm clock and sat up from the bed.
Normally, Zhou Bai's working time should be 7:30 am.
However, yesterday he secretly set the clock in the shelter back by 35 minutes.
Therefore, as long as no one discovers this matter, he only needs to go out on time at 8 o'clock in the morning, and it will not be considered late.
As for Zhou Bai's approach, is it really possible to circumvent the rules?
In fact, he was not completely sure.
I secretly set the alarm clock yesterday, but no one has come to see Zhou Bai yet, so no one should have seen what he did.
However, there is another risk point in this matter.
That is, there may be other clocks in this asylum.
If others see that the time displayed on the two clocks is different, this matter will soon be exposed.
Zhou Bai spent all day yesterday busy adapting to his new job.
Therefore, the exploration of various places in the shelter is not comprehensive enough.
There are several rooms, and Zhou Bai has not entered them yet.
Therefore, he could not be absolutely sure about this issue.
So, with a little anxiety, he walked into the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth, and then put on the white uniform he needed to wear at work.
When everything was done, Zhou Bai stood at the door of his room.
Quietly waiting for the time on his phone, when it was eight o'clock in the morning, he opened the door on time.
Outside the door of the room, there was no strange animal waiting outside to ambush Zhou Bai last night.
What Zhou Bai saw after opening the door was an empty corridor.
When he walked out of the room and closed the door, he turned back and looked at his door.
On Zhou Bai's door, the scratches from his fingernails last night were still clearly visible.
These scratches seemed to remind Zhou Bai that everything that happened last night was real.
Zhou Bai approached the door and looked carefully at the scratches on it.
I saw only five scratch marks on it. Each one had five scratches.
Moreover, based on the size of the scratches, Zhou Bai could deduce that the other party's hand should be just a little smaller than his own.
However, in this case, most of the animals in the shelter seem to have mismatched scratches.
Could it be that the one who knocked on the door last night was not an animal?
When this guess came to his mind, Zhou Bai felt his whole back getting cold.
If it wasn't an animal, then who was that strange person who knocked on the door last night?
It's very close to the time to go to work.
In order to avoid being late, Zhou Bai did not dare to stay too long. He briefly glanced at the door and quickly walked towards the work area.
As soon as he walked out of the employee rest area, he saw Director Lin standing next to the clock, looking at Zhou Bai seriously.
Zhou Bai did something bad yesterday and was a little guilty.
Now that I see Director Lin looking at me like this, I feel even more unsure.
He walked anxiously in the direction of Director Lin.
I saw the talkative parrot standing next to Director Lin.
The clock next to the parrot shows the current time, which happens to be 7:30 in the morning.
The expression on Director Lin's face was not friendly.
Seeing Zhou Bai walking towards him, he shouted loudly.
"Look for yourself, what time is it now?
You’re taking so long, why don’t you come over quickly?”
