Chapter 338: Eye Contact

However, Su Bai was actually surprised that other players had entered Honghuai No. 10 High School.

Su Bai knew he probably only players who had recovered their memories and broken out of the "script" could see the "deceased" "Xiao Lou", but it was still somewhat strange that players came to Honghuai No. 10 High School on the first day.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Su Bai heard Chen Xi's voice outside the window.

"Miss Chen Xi..." the male player on the other side tried to stop Chen Xi, who wanted to directly push open the window and climb inside.

"Don't worry." Although Chen Xi was wearing a seemingly complicated dress, her movements were agile; after finding a foothold, she directly vaulted into the teaching building. "To them, we are already 'deceased' people. Throughout our journey, we encountered many 'people', but no matter what we did, they completely ignored our existence, right?"

Listening to the conversation of the two players not far away, Su Bai knew that Chen Xi's current identity was not just a player, but a player who had already "died". Their "cause of death" was probably failing to follow the administrator's rules while suffering from amnesia, failing to fulfill someone's request within a day.

The appearance of Chen Xi and the other player also confirmed that Su Bai's guess was not wrong; those players who "died" due to violating the rules were not truly dead, but more like being switched to another state of being.

Perhaps because the players' information came from the administrator's verbal instructions, this led them to be completely unaware that the "death" mentioned by the administrator might be meant figuratively.

Additionally, Su Bai noticed that the other player called out Chen Xi's name, which seemed to mean that although Chen Xi and the others had "died", they did not obtain a new identity like Su Bai did; Chen Xi was still Chen Xi, and her clothing still had a distinct personal style.

When Su Bai was previously thrown into Honghuai No. 10 High School, his original No. 1 High School uniform directly changed into an unrecognizable Honghuai No. 10 High School uniform, with an embroidered name tag "Xiao Lou" on it.

Su Bai felt as though he'd been thrown from one script into another.

Compared to Su Bai, Chen Xi and the others were more like having completely shaken off the constraints of the script after recovering their memories.

Perhaps as the administrator said, since death is unavoidable, it's better to simply accept "death" when it comes. Maybe the hidden meaning in the administrator's words is that as long as players spend the entire day lying in bed, they are likely to head towards "death" due to failing to fulfill someone's request.

"Death" might actually be the true start of this game.

But... players who have broken free from the script after recovering their memories should have regained their freedom of action; why would players no longer bound by the script come to Honghuai No. 10 High School?

"Ah."

Just as Su Bai was lost in thought, Chen Xi, who had just jumped into the corridor of the teaching building, noticed the figure standing in the corner.

The next second, their eyes met.

"Can you see me?" Chen Xi sensed something was off after noticing the other's gaze. "Are you also a player?"

"My name is Xiao Lou, I'm a student of this school." Su Bai did not forget that he now had a new script in hand; he was now called Xiao Lou, a student of Honghuai No. 10 High School, and one who entered the self-study room earlier than Zhang Chen and "died".

When he first got this "script", Su Bai was even confused why "Su Xuan", as an Eerie Entity, would care so much about the life and death of a student in some school in a small city. At that time, Su Bai thought, surely an Eerie Entity wouldn't want to promote educational reform in the real world, right?

But when that strange voice entered Su Bai's brain like interference.

Su Bai couldn't help but ask himself, if Zhang Chen represents the mermaid, a half-dead experimental subject or even consumable thrown into the Void Sea by some mysterious "people", then does the identity of Xiao Lou, who entered the self-study room earlier than Zhang Chen, also have special significance?

"Not a player?" Chen Xi's face turned somewhat unpleasant as she backed away a few steps. "Are you a weirdo?"

Weirdo?

Su Bai heard another completely unfamiliar term.

And Chen Xi began to size up Su Bai in front of her, her cautious gaze as if trying to spot a tail or some other hidden anomaly on Su Bai.
