Chapter 26

After returning to reality from the game, Bai Yan felt that his fever had worsened.

He lowered his head and looked at his clothes. The housekeeper uniform he had worn for seven days disappeared without a trace, and he was still wearing the same uniform he had worn before entering the game.

At the same time, his tool kit was intact and straddled across his body, with all the things inside.

Bai Yan remembered that because of work, he left his tool kit in the servants' room and did not carry it with him. At night, the host and hostess suddenly recalled the memory of death, completely turned into ghosts and tore their faces, so he did not have the opportunity to retrieve the tool kit, and ran away with a table knife.

So why was his tool kit still on him?

And where was the knife he had been carrying?

Bai Yan was confused by the fever, and his thinking began to become dull.

After standing for a while, his head began to feel dizzy, as if he would faint at any time, not to mention thinking about this series of problems.

Feeling that something was wrong, Bai Yan calmed down and began to take a hot bath and take his temperature step by step.

After taking out the thermometer, he looked at the number on it. His temperature was exactly 5.

Fever.

Bai Yan had expected this. He took out the antipyretic medicine and drank it with hot water, then found some food and forced himself to swallow it.

Although he had been running for half a night in the rain, Bai Yan had no appetite at all.

However, he lived alone, without relatives or friends to take care of him, and fever would speed up metabolism and consume more calories. If he didn't eat, even if he fainted in this room, no one would help him call 120 and send him to the hospital.

People living alone must learn to take care of themselves.

He simply stuffed some food to make sure he didn't starve to death. Bai Yan turned out a quilt, wrapped himself up, and lay on the bed like a silkworm, ready to have a good rest for the night.

He fell asleep drowsily. When Bai Yan woke up again, the time shown on his mobile phone was the next afternoon.

Bai Yan touched his forehead and felt that the fever had subsided.

So, he got up, washed, cooked some porridge, and drank it slowly by himself.

While drinking the porridge, he opened the App and browsed the newly released posts in the past two days.

While he was sleeping, many players died and many players published new game strategies. After browsing around, Bai Yan saw a post called [Game Analysis of the Second Level].

He clicked it and found that this post was about the game he had just experienced.

From the perspective of the narrative, the person who posted this post should be An Qing. An Qing told the game from beginning to end. Of course, she coded it and used ABCD to refer to people throughout the process, without naming each person's appearance and real name.

At that time, the two people in the back seat suddenly turned into headless ghosts, forcing him and Su Xiaoqian to abandon the car and run away. And An Qing and the others returned to the mansion and were replaced to the place where the male and female owners had stood.

After returning to the villa, An Qing and Lu Tianyi unfortunately met the young master. The origin of this tragedy completely gave up the disguise and revealed its true face as a faceless ghost.

Because of the teasing of the faceless ghost, the two could not escape from the villa at all. Once they left, they would be teleported inside the villa. In the end, it was An Qing who found the tunnel dug by the young master and hid in the cellar room, which allowed the two to escape.

After reading the posts sorted out by An Qing, Bai Yan was thoughtful.

In the game, he mocked Lu Tianyi for being a member of the 'NPC Protection Association' because he was driving at the time and didn't have time to choke him. But in fact, he also felt that those NPCs were too real.

People who can cry, laugh, be afraid, and even show disgusting eyes are not considered human, then no one in this world can be considered human.

There were no NPCs in his first game, only ghosts, so he didn't care about many posts in the forum and thought that the descriptions of NPCs in the posts were normal, but after he personally experienced a game full of NPCs, he deeply felt the weirdness of the forum itself.

Even some old players will encourage novices to actively harm the lives of NPPCs to pave a smooth road for themselves. Under this type of post, there are full of support and cheers, and there is no content that dissents, which is very abnormal.

Bai Yan feels that where there are people, there will be saints, and where there are saints, there will be people who dissent. Humans are a kind of creature full of empathy. In modern society, unless they are mentally abnormal, few people will kill cats and dogs, let alone NPCs who are no different from humans.

You know, watching someone die without helping and actively killing are two completely different concepts.

Even because of the nature of the App, players all think that this is a game, and they all treat the natives in the game world as NPPCs. They are too real people. They will be afraid and cry when they see ghosts. Under the influence of empathy, there will definitely be saintly players like Lu Tianyi who object, and at the very least, they will say a few words for the NPCs and persuade everyone not to harm them, but Bai Yan didn't see a single reply like this.

In addition, the phenomenon of the forum uniting and spraying selfish players together is also very abnormal.

In the first game, he was tragically killed and there was a lot of criticism from the crowd. He claimed that he was a self-aware person and could understand everyone's anger at this shameless behavior.

But, this is an anonymous forum, it is impossible that no one has dark thoughts. His first game was a bit out of line, but there are always some people who are self-sufficient and oppressed by the game to the point of mental abnormality, but no one expressed even a neutral opinion.

Historically, anonymous forums have always been full of hostility, but this forum is as harmonious as a dead pool, and the three views are surprisingly consistent.

It's as if there is an administrator in the forum who controls comments.

In order to verify his guess, Bai Yan finished his porridge and tried to post a post [Teach you how to sell stupid teammates]. As a result, he found that the post was deleted without a trace as soon as he posted it.

The post was deleted in seconds, but Bai Yan was not discouraged. He posted another post [How to use NPC to explore the way]. As a result, this post was posted on the forum properly and hung safely on the forum for a long time. There was no sign of being deleted.

After completing this experiment, he already knew what the values ​​advocated by the App were.

...

In the next few days, Bai Yan went downstairs to dye his hair black again, and the rest of the time he stayed at home to rest in case he fell ill again.

When noon on Monday came, Bai Yan opened the app and prepared to enter the game alone.

In the previous game, he got the contact information of several people, but Lu Tianyi was a rookie from the 'NPC Protection Association', and An Qing had difficulty walking, neither of them was a good teammate. Su Xiaoqian was the only one who looked capable and didn't like to die. Seeing his faded hair, he couldn't take the risk of exposing his vest.

After thinking about it, Bai Yan still felt that it was safer to match alone, and it was not easy to be targeted by acquaintances. In the game of normal difficulty, teammates didn't play a big role, so he didn't need to rush to find teammates for the time being.

So, carrying the tool bag on his body, Bai Yan set up the camera of the laptop, pointed at the camera and clicked the match.

His eyes went dark and he entered the game again.
