Chapter 3 Welcome Party (Part 3)
Who is Mu Yu?
If you ask people from other classes in that year of Xinlian No. 1 Middle School, they will say that it is difficult to recall what he looks like, but they definitely remember his name. His name is well-known, and he always ranks first or second in the grade in every exam. There is no one in the grade who doesn't know him.
This guy has been the class monitor for three years. His class is so lucky to have such a thick thigh to hug.
If we ask the students of Class 12 of Xinlian No. 1 Middle School to talk about it——
The squad leader's support group would say without hesitation that the squad leader is yyds!
Rich kids would casually say, oh, that guy is a nerd.
The middle class would say, well, our monitor’s personality is really hard to describe in simple words…
Who is Lu Chongnian?
If you ask all the teachers and students in the school to talk about his name, they will say that his name is also well-known. After all, that extraordinary face is hard to forget once you have seen it, and this guy is always first or second in the grade in every exam. There is no one in the school who doesn't know him.
If we ask the students of Class 12 of Xinlian No. 1 Middle School to talk about it——
The squad leader's support group would seem to say casually, "Oh, this guy has something quite good."
The kids from rich families would hold up banners and shout fanatically, Brother Lu is the best!
The centrists would say, what a winner in life, what a winner in life, good-looking, rich, and smart, I am almost crying with envy.
If you ask them, as two people with equally well-known names, are Mu Yu and Lu Chongnian familiar with each other?
They would say, what nonsense, after being classmates in the same class for three years, the rice must have been cooked into charcoal.
But how close are Mu Yu and Lu Chongnian?
They will rack their brains to remember.
Hiss, that's probably it, every time the monitor called someone to the office on behalf of the teacher, he would stand at the classroom door and shout calmly, "Lu Chongnian, did Teacher X ask you to come over?"
…
…Mu Yu refused to admit that the interactions between him and Lu Zhongnian over the past three years were so pitiful. In fact, they had talked a lot in secret.
Well, not secretly, but in spare moments and corners where no one else is noticing.
But he and Lu Chongnian always seemed to be standing at two distinct ends. The vague sense of distance made Mu Yu feel that they were actually two people very far away from each other.
Until that class reunion.
Until that night.
And for nearly a month after that, Mu Yu was tormented.
Almost every day he would imagine what he would say when he saw Lu Chongnian again.
It is said that boys who are too easily seen through are not attractive, so he has to be reserved and calm, and act as usual in front of Lu Chongnian, just like he had always pretended to be so steady and dignified in front of this boy in the past three years.
At that time, Mu Yu couldn't have imagined that they would meet again in such a strange and outrageous situation.
…
Inside the entire theater, all the lights seemed to be concentrated on the stage, and below the stage, it was pitch black.
It was not until Lu Chongnian appeared in his sight that Mu Yu felt that the whole world was bright.
It really did light up in an instant. The light came on, and everything around was bright. No monsters or ghosts could scare people anymore.
My soul is purified by the beauty in front of me.
Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
He tried to control himself and asked in a low voice: "Where did you come from?"
Lu Zhongnian recalled: "Area D?"
Maybe because he ran a little too fast to catch up with him just now, the boy's breathing has not yet completely calmed down.
The weather was hot, and he was wearing a black T-shirt. The skin on his exposed arms looked particularly cool and white, and he didn't look like he had been tortured by the wind and sun during military training at all.
The veins on the forearm popped up, as if they were bulging slightly with the blood rushing through them, and a surge of blood was flowing through his veins, but the temperament of the owner of the arm was far from being so passionate.
Lu Chongnian always gave Mu Yu the feeling of being cold and quiet. It was not until the night of the class reunion that he realized that his perception of Lu Chongnian needed to be greatly refreshed.
Just like now.
When the person in front of him raised his long eyelashes and looked at him with his deep black eyes, Mu Yu felt a strange and exciting feeling as if he was electrocuted all over his body.
He had a lot of questions to ask, but the current situation was not suitable for talking about trivial things.
Then he just said: "...You came here alone?"
"No, I came here with Yan Shaowen." Speaking of this, Lu Zhongnian frowned slightly, "He suddenly disappeared just now, and there was no signal when I called his cell phone."
Mu Yu also frowned: "Could it be that he went outside the theater?"
Lu Zhongnian was silent for two seconds, and only said: "Maybe."
Yan Shaowen was their classmate and a good friend of Lu Chongnian who grew up with him. Like Lu Chongnian, he was admitted to Lian University.
That guy is not a fool. No matter where he is when the unusual situation happens, as long as he keeps a clear mind, he will definitely find a way to find them.
Therefore, since this guy is not showing up here now, it is very likely that he has just left the theater or has become a "spectator".
After speaking, the two looked at each other.
Lu Zhongnian lowered his head again and said in a very light voice: "Was that you over in Area C just now?"
Mu Yu was stunned and nodded: "Someone... is in trouble."
Lu Zhongnian looked at him seriously.
"What about you?"
"Are you okay?"
Mu Yu's heart softened and he immediately shook his head.
It would be a lie to say that there was no psychological trauma, but now they had more important problems to solve. Mu Yu had never been someone who allowed himself to be overly immersed in emotions.
Lu Chongnian nodded, as if to say, that's good.
Mu Yu moved his lips slightly, but gave up.
Why didn't she reply to his messages even though she clearly remembered that they had been separated for 29 days? Why didn't she contact him but came directly to their school... Let's talk about these questions after they solve their current predicament.
After the second song was finished, several people under the stage finally gathered together.
There were eight boys and two girls in total, and almost everyone was in a panic.
"Are we the only ones left?"
"What's going on now?"
"Did several people get into trouble just now..."
"Dead, all dead!"
"I can't get through to 110, and neither can the counselor's phone. We can't get in touch with the outside world at all!"
"No, why are we gathered here? Let's get out now?"
One of the boys said with a pale face: "I was close to the exit just now, so I ran outside to check, and everything outside disappeared."
Everyone was stunned.
"What do you mean the outside disappeared?"
"It just disappeared. There was a thick fog outside the gate. I couldn't even see the ground. It was like it was floating in the air, and it was very dark, as dark as night. It didn't look right. Anyway, I didn't dare to go out. I felt it was even scarier outside than in here!" The boy's teeth were chattering.
Fear spread quickly.
"What the hell is going on? Are we trapped here? Is this some horror movie crew's prank?"
"Where is Principal Dou? Where is Principal Dou?"
"Principal Dou just left after he finished speaking. Even if he were still here, it would be meaningless if he became one of the spectators!"
Everyone was talking at once, and halfway through the conversation the third piece of the performance began. Everyone paused in frustration and lowered their voices.
"——So, what should we do now?"
Mu Yu and Lu Chongnian didn't say anything for the time being. The tall man suddenly raised his hand, and everyone's eyes were immediately focused on him.
The tall guy is really tall. Lu Zhongnian is 1.8/1.2 meters tall, and this tall guy is almost as tall as him.
The tall guy is also very handsome, fair-skinned, and a bit cool.
He said: "Everyone calm down, let's sort things out."
"First of all, what is happening here is definitely unnatural and cannot be explained by science, so for now, let's not even think about 110 or 119 coming to rescue us, and don't hope that people outside will take the initiative to discover the anomaly here. We have to hurry and find a way to leave here."
"And then, you all looked at the program just now, right?"
A boy nodded: "I've seen it. Is there anyone who is sober like us, but because he didn't get the program, he still doesn't know that something is wrong?"
"No way, didn't you see those people who died just now?"
"It's so dark in the auditorium, it's possible that I didn't notice it..."
The tall man shook his head: "I'm not from the science and engineering department. I couldn't find a seat. I just stood in the last row of the auditorium. I also got the program - it was all over the floor."
Mu Yu gave Lu Zhongnian a look.
Lu Zhongnian nodded slightly.
Mu Yu frowned slightly.
It's easy to imagine that the school's arts department wouldn't just throw the program around like a flyer, and they don't have that much paper to waste.
If the floor of the last row of the auditorium was really covered with program sheets, enough to ensure that every audience member in the venue had a copy... then combined with the current strange situation, it would feel very deliberate.
As for who did it on purpose?
have no idea.
It can’t be the school’s arts department.
This unrealistic situation, from the perspective of any normal person, cannot be achieved by any human being or group of humans.
The tall man continued, "Let's not talk about that for now. My point is that everyone has read the rules. You should remember what the second and third rules are written on the back, right?"
A girl immediately turned over the program that she was holding tightly in her hand.
"Find the monster generator and destroy it. If we don't complete the task within an hour, we will all die."
So, what exactly is a monster generator?
What does this thing look like?
Someone immediately asked, "Did you see anything like this when you came down from the audience just now?"
"No, I'm almost scared to death by the people around me. How can I pay attention to these things?"
"Are the monsters the remaining people?"
"Then could this generator be on them?"
"No, we don't want to search all the spectators one by one, do we? They will eat people!"
Everyone was excited and the volume was getting louder and louder. The tall man gestured again for everyone to lower their voices.
Mu Yu pondered for a while.
Perhaps because of Lu Chongnian's presence, his mind was able to calm down further and he had many thoughts in his mind.
He adjusted his glasses and said, "Well, there is something I want to ask you first."
Everyone stopped and focused their eyes on him.
Mu Yu asked: "Have any of you read infinite flow novels?"
Everyone: “?”
Everyone's facial expressions went blank for a moment, as if they didn't expect him to suddenly ask such a question that would ruin the atmosphere.
Only Lu Chongnian, after a slight pause, looked at him with eyes that said "you are worthy of it".
Mu Yu said seriously: "Don't look at me like that, I'm asking seriously, isn't the current situation exactly the same as the infinite flow copy?"
A boy asked in confusion: "What is infinite flow?"
A girl raised her hand and said, "I, I, I've seen it!"
Judging from everyone’s expressions, at least half of them have been exposed to this type of online literature.
But having eaten pork doesn’t mean you can run like a pig. Just because they have read infinite flow novels, can they kill everyone and clear the dungeon smoothly like the protagonists in the infinite flow novels?
In fact, Mu Yu’s train of thought is completely different from theirs.
"Isn't that a common pattern in infinite flow novels? The first dungeon game the protagonist participates in is only his first game, not the real first game of the entire infinite flow game, so at the beginning of the story, he always encounters some 'old people' in the game."
Everyone finally understood his hidden meaning and their expressions became subtle.
"So," Mu Yu looked at the nine people in front of him and said, "I still have to ask first--"
"Has anyone here ever experienced anything like this?"
