Shen Mu touched No. 8's still wet hair, and No. 8 obediently rubbed Shen Mu's palm with his hair. Shen Mu's heart was full of mixed feelings, and even a burst of anger burst out from the bottom of his heart: I lost my memory and was involved in this mess. Forget about the game, No. 8 is obviously not in a normal state. He doesn't even have the most basic ability to live, let alone judge and think. Letting someone like him participate in the game is different from direct murder!
Taking a deep breath, Shen Mu suppressed the unexplained anger in his heart, the matter has come to this point, no matter what, he can't mess himself up first.
After calming down, Shen Mu suddenly thought of a question: How did No. 8 get into the swimming pool
Shen Mu and No. 8 looked at each other with ignorant eyes for a while.
"Do you know how you got into the pool?"
…
really…
But after calming down, Shen Mu's thoughts gradually became clear, and many doubts were discovered one after another: No. 8 couldn't even open the door, how did he open the door, and knew how to close the door before running to the side of the swimming pool? Number 8 is on the other side of the pool away from the door. The swimming pool occupies almost the entire room. If you want to go to the opposite side, you have to go around the edge. This is easy for normal people, but it is extremely difficult for Number 8...
Could it be... Shen Mu suddenly had a bold new idea, could it be that No. 8 was teleported to the swimming pool from the very beginning? Is this a teleportation bug
Judging from the various signs at the scene, although this speculation is bold, it may be true!
It's just... Shen Mu found it unbelievable again, the Suspended Life game, would this kind of game with surreal power also have bugs
There are too few clues now, it's almost 7 o'clock, I don't know what's going on downstairs after I left, I have to go down and have a look.
No matter what... "No matter what, I won't let you be kicked out of the game for such a reason." Shen Mu held No. 8's warm hand again, "Let's go down."
After Shen Mu and Zhang Ji left, because of Li Fengmei and Yang Ge's opening, Lin Huiru began to talk about Shen Mu's "glorious deeds": Shen Mu and she are both students of the 16th class of Baiyan University, and they are members of the same club - photography club member. During the club gathering before the summer vacation, Shen Mu confessed his love to Su Yingxing, the new president of the photography club and his younger student, and loudly expressed his love in front of more than 50 new and old members. The members of the school network forum in the circle of friends spread everywhere.
Hearing this, everyone present looked a little weird, as if they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
Seeing that no one responded to her revelation, Lin Huiru became a little anxious: "Don't you feel disgusted?! How dare a man say that he loves a man in public! Yang Ge, don't pretend, if he confesses to you , dare you say it’s not disgusting?”
"Eh..." Yang Ge was a little embarrassed when he was called on, "It's not too bad, just refuse it."
"I don't think it's very good..." Jiang Shuyi said, "You should tell the president secretly... you shouldn't be in front of other people..."
"Then if the president is a girl, do you still think so?" Li Fengmei said abruptly.
"Girls are different from boys..." Jiang Shuyi said, but seeing Li Fengmei's half-smile, she lowered her voice.
"Hmph, do you think this is the end?" Dissatisfied with everyone's response, Lin Huiru stepped up her efforts to break the news, "After being rejected, I will not go to class, and I will harass Yingxing several times in the name of club activities. After being completely rejected, I will skip class every day. Playing games and drinking at an Internet cafe, failed 4 of 6 courses at the end of the semester, and was warned by the school..." Lin Huiru's disgust deepened at this point, "It was spread all over the school forum, and the whole school was talking about it, and several buildings were built. Aren't you ashamed?"
"Do you like your president Su Yingxing?" Li Fengmei asked, then turned to look at Yang Ge, looking very interested.
"I...you!" Lin Huiru froze for a moment, her face even more ugly.
"It's not a big deal!" Liu Bo, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said, his voice was a little irritated, "Isn't it just a confession, you can't let others be sad if you fail? What's wrong with drinking and playing games by yourself, and there is no time for others to come out ? It's none of your business if someone fails! What time are you still talking about this!"
"Yes, Huiru." Yang Ge also persuaded, "Now is not the time to talk about this, and it is not a shameful thing to confess to someone you like. Sexuality is innate, not only between men and women..." See Lin Huiru opened her mouth Wanting to say something, Yang Ge said, "And we are in a different place now, if you and Shen Mu draw the same card, your dislike for him will also affect your own outcome."
Yang Ge's last sentence seemed to convince Lin Huiru, although she looked unwilling, Lin Huiru didn't say anything more. Jiang Shuyi's face turned pale when Yang Ge helped Shen Mu speak, as if regretting what she said just now.
"Huh?" Li Xuesong, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly showed surprise, "Little sister? Are you also a player in the preliminaries?"
Hearing what Li Xuesong said, everyone turned to the door in surprise. A little girl about 10 years old was half-hiding outside the door, looking a little scared. Seeing that everyone had discovered her, they walked over hesitantly. It seemed that the fact that everyone else was "adults" made her even more uneasy.
Li Xuesong comforted the little girl softly, maybe someone with a younger sister has experience, Li Xuesong's comforting was very effective, the little girl seemed to be less wary of everyone: "My name is Kexin."
At this time, there was another sound of footsteps at the door. Zhang Ji appeared at the door, followed by another boy, who was relatively short, less than 1.7 meters tall, squinting, yawning, and seemed not energetic. It looks like... just woke up.
Zhang Ji was also a little speechless: "This is number 5, Sun Jieqing."
Sun Jieqing said somewhat confusedly: "Hi, I'm 5 ha... yawn."
A bunch of black lines fell on everyone's heads.
Ke Xin couldn't help asking: "Brother No. 5, you didn't just wake up, did you?"
Zhang Ji said helplessly: "Isn't it... At first, Shen Mu and I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it. Later, I came down from the second floor, and I also searched for the small garden behind the lobby on the first floor, but there was no one there. I went back again. I knocked on the No. 5 door on the first floor, but I didn't expect him to be sleeping."
"I'm sorry." Sun Jieqing's sleepiness was still greater than his apology.
"But... how can you sleep?" Kexin asked the thoughts of most of the people present.
"Little sister, if you don't sleep well, you will not grow tall." Sun Jieqing said seriously.
Hearing what Sun Jieqing said, Kexin looked at Sun Jieqing's figure and turned his head quietly.
…
Shen Mu took No. 8's hand and walked down the steps step by step, feeling that his hand changed from cold to slightly cold, but it never became warm. If you lead No. 8 to walk or run, he has no problem at all, but if you let him follow him, he just stops there blankly, as if he doesn't know what to do at all.
Walking to the entrance of the hall, there was a faint noise in the hall, and it seemed that there were more people.
Shen Mu and No. 8 walked into the lobby, and found that Zhang Ji had returned, and there was a short boy and a... a little girl
This broken system is really ruthless. People with amnesia, people with dementia, and children will not be spared. There will be babies next time, Shen Mu sneered in his heart.
"Who are these two?" Shen Mu asked first, thinking about how to introduce No. 8, so as to reduce the possibility of him being pushed in the first round.
In the end, it means that No. 8 is a normal person, because of a system bug, there was a transmission problem, and he was sent to the swimming pool, and his brain was also affected, and now he is unconscious. Or should it be said that No. 8's mental state is not right, and he was pulled into this broken game, would it be easier for people to accept and sympathize
Although the explanation can only be said to be one's own speculation, but when other people have no judgment on this matter, a reasonable explanation will often be preconceived, and people will subconsciously want to believe it.
Zhang Ji introduced Sun Jieqing and Kexin to Shen Mu. Sun Jieqing greeted in a daze: "Hello." But Kexin turned her head and ran behind Li Fengmei in two steps, as if she didn't want to speak at all.
"Haha, even little girls hate you!" Lin Huiru immediately mocked.
"Shen Mu, I won't see you in a while, why are you acting like a drowned rat?" Yang Ge looked at Shen Mu's half-dried clothes and hair, and said half-jokingly.
"This is player number 8." Shen Mu ignored Lin Huiru, thought about it, and finally chose the explanation sent by the system.
Both myself and No. 8 were wet. Although No. 8 had changed their clothes, neither of them had particularly short hair. Even after wiping with a towel for a long time, it was difficult to dry it out for a while. I can say that I took a shower and calmed down, did I also press No. 8 and rinse it? Besides, the swimming pool is next to room No. 8, so deliberately concealing the fact that you have been in the pool will make others suspect.
If it is said that number 8 was just like this before being selected into the game, it is easy to be exposed - once number 8 is ordered, it will be discovered that number 8 can hardly run from the room to the swimming pool by himself. Although the reason for the system bug sounds unbelievable, everyone still doesn't know what the Suspended Life game is, and even if they have doubts, they won't completely believe it.
Shen Mu talked about the situation when he met No. 8, and explained his speculation about the system. After listening, everyone looked different—skeptical, sympathetic, thoughtful, expressionless...
Lin Huiru's face was full of disbelief: "BUG? Are you lying to me? Why didn't we make it?! He just met him by such a coincidence?" Lin Huiru stared at Shen Mu who was holding No. 8's hand, and then looked at it again. With No. 8's outstanding appearance, she felt that Shen Mu had ulterior motives.
No. 8 is indeed good-looking, not the kind of ostentatious beauty, nor feminine at all, and a little more cold than purely handsome, this coldness becomes docile under his ignorant expression. Rao was disgusted and suspicious in her heart, Lin Huiru couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Huh? How do you feel like you've seen him somewhere
After looking at it a few more times, Lin Huiru felt a little puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that she had no impression.
"It's already 7:15." Li Fengmei interrupted everyone's thoughts suddenly, "There's one more person... on the 6th, who hasn't come yet."
