When I returned to the dormitory, it was empty. I had no idea where those guys had gone, but it didn't matter. It was actually better this way, as I could directly prepare the items I needed for the night.
I took off my shoes and climbed up the ladder to my bunk, then casually opened my storage cabinet and pulled out a Copper Coin Sword and an Eight Trigrams Mirror. I decided not to take anything else, as carrying too much would be inconvenient. As for the talismans, my pockets were already stuffed with them, so I didn't need to worry about stocking up on those.
After I finished preparing, I placed the items under my pillow and lay down. I planned to take a brief rest to fully recharge my energy.
I don't know how much time had passed, but I must have fallen asleep with my consciousness still lucid. I heard the door of the dormitory open and footsteps heading towards my bed.
