"You look nervous too. What happened?" Abis noticed the little fat man's nervous eyes, which made him feel even more nervous.
What is the little fat man nervous about? Is there something else in this room?
"Haha, no, the weather is too hot, and I also like to sweat."
The little fat man was still looking at him. At first, Abyss thought he was looking behind him and turned around to look at him.
But nothing.
"Why do you keep staring at me?" Abyss asked.
"You are a new classmate. I am naturally shy and don't have many friends, so I can't help but observe you more when I see you. Don't mind."
As Abyss turned his attention to the little fat man, the latter's eyes became more panicked.
Abis suddenly realized that the little fat man was the same as him? If the little fat man he saw just now was a monster, in fact, in the eyes of the little fat man, he was also a monster. Only in this way could he explain why he suddenly became so panicked.
The last rule in the school rules is not to be mentioned by others except the first rule, but what's the point? In theory, every student should have a school rules handbook, so in fact everyone knows the contents of the school rules.
Articles 2 and 3 of the school rules mention that you must believe that you or others are alive, and emphasize that no matter what you see, don't show it.
If the little fat man had read the school rules, it would be easy to explain his reaction.
"I should also be a monster in his eyes." Abyss thought. "So, I am no longer a human being?"
"No, the school rules say that you must believe in yourself, and as a player who comes to play the game, I can be sure that I am a living person. Even if I am a monster, it is also a setting in the game plot."
"Or I don't have a problem, and those who have problems are my classmates. This is also the most common reasonable setting."
"Do you want to scare me in this way? First find a cowardly little fat guy, make him look afraid of me, and then scare me unexpectedly."
Abyss felt that he had seen through some of the scary points in this game.
"It's dinner time." The little fat man said cautiously. "We should go to the cafeteria."
It is also one of the school rules to do something at a certain time.
Abyss put down his luggage and followed the little fat man to the canteen. Although the little fat man is also a new kid in terms of setting, his actual role is to guide the players.
Under his leadership, Abyss came to the cafeteria.
There were many people in the cafeteria, and everyone in the school came during dinner time.
Because there are not enough seats, some students are waiting in line. No one wants to violate school rules, and even if there are many people, they are not willing to come early or late.
When Abyss stood at the end of the queue, the cafeteria suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at him.
The bustling cafeteria suddenly became so quiet, as if the pause button had been pressed.
Everyone's eyes were either shocked or panicked, and they stayed on Abyss for a second.
Abyss froze, he felt like everyone was looking at him as if they wanted to eat him.
Abiston suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. Everyone present seemed like a walking zombie, and he was the prey.
After a second, everyone returned to normal, no longer looking at Abyss, as if what just happened had never happened.
Even so, Abyss could feel that these people would actually glance at his position from time to time, pretending to glance casually.
Everyone noticed him and continued to monitor him.
The game does not give specific tasks to be done, and Abyss guesses that the way to clear the level may be to comply with school rules.
He pretended not to know anything and went to get his dinner.
The dinner was a piece of raw meat with blood on it. It was impossible to tell what kind of meat it was from the cut surface. It was neither steak nor pork. There is a lemon placed next to the raw meat, and the side dishes are some artificial vegetables cultivated using genetic technology.
The presentation was beautiful, and except for the bloody raw meat, everything else was fine.
Abyss looked at other people's plates. Everyone's plates contained different kinds of food. Many of them had turned into mush, and you couldn't tell what they were originally.
Only his, a bloody piece of raw meat, looked particularly scary.
He took the food and found an empty seat to sit down, staring at the food without taking a bite.
Abyss remembered that when he first played this game, he actually asked him to cook his own cut off hand. The scene was deeply memorable to him.
So the raw meat this time doesn’t look like a good thing.
The classmates around him started to look at him again, which made him even more stressed.
Should he continue to abide by school rules? He thought he would go crazy if he continued like this.
Moreover, all the people around him made Abyss feel that he was not a normal human being. Rather than saying that Abys was acting normal, it was more that everyone who saw Abys was trying their best to act natural.
"Am I the monster?" Abyss came to a conclusion. "What did you see?"
The comments from the audience actually never stopped.
"A regular steak."
"Yes, this must be ordinary meat."
Abyss felt his heart beat faster. The audience was different from what he saw?
Was there something wrong with him, or was it the audience?
There are so many people in the audience, and everyone is watching steak frying, so the only one who can have problems is you.
Is it just you who is hallucinating?
He took a tentative bite of the meat.
Tender and juicy, with a salty black pepper flavor. Purely natural meat, without any artificial meat. The texture and taste made Abbis forget everything.
too delicious.
So it tasted like cooked meat, and Abyss was sure that he was hallucinating.
Not caring about anything else, he ate the whole plate. Even in the game, it is a pleasure to taste delicious food.
In reality, he can't eat natural steak of such high quality.
"Why do I see something completely different? Is there something wrong with my vision?"
When he came to his senses, it looked like there were only some scraps of raw meat left on the plate.
Abyss felt that he could no longer trust his vision.
Is it true that you can’t believe it only through sight? A voice asked in the bottom of my heart.
"The key is, how do you make sure you're not a brain in a vat?"
The words spoken by the senior he met at the beginning appeared in Abyss' mind. He wanted to forget this sentence, but actually he cared about it quite a bit.
"You seem to be in a daze often, as if you have traveled to another world." The little fat man who had been following him suddenly said. "You will also suddenly show a scary expression. Otherwise, if you have time, you should go to the campus hospital to check it out. I feel like you have been living in a virtual world."
"Virtual world?" Abyss' eyes widened.
"Virtual glasses have just been launched, and most people can't resist being addicted to them, unable to distinguish between reality and fiction. I think you have a problem too. Didn't we find out last time that you still have a fetish for pretending?"
"What is pretend fetish?"
"Have you forgotten it after it was cured? You often talk to yourself, pretending to be a game anchor, and pretending to be different audiences."
Abyss opened his eyes wide and looked around. He suddenly felt that he had never seen the world from such a clear perspective.
Is this the real thing?
Or am I playing a game?
In order to verify this, Abyss tried to call out the menu, trying to forcefully interrupt the game.
Of course nothing happened and he didn't quit the game.
By the way, the presence of the audience can help him distinguish reality from fiction.
But there was not a single comment from the audience. Just as the little fat man said, his "illness" was cured.
Abyss felt a chill. He knew that "Wonderful World" would not let players log off voluntarily (unless they fainted), but now he was not sure where he was and who he was. "Wonderful World" 》Whether this game really exists.
