Chapter 1: Illusion and Reality
"The trial is coming to an end, and the quest world ...... is beginning to close"
"Wrong! The core of the world is being parsed, and the quest world cannot be closed for the time being. ”
"Bug fixing...... Remediation failed. ”
Recalculate ......
"Based on the data we have, we start building alternatives."
"Staging mission progress, freezing mission world timeline."
Start ......
In an instant, the howling wind suddenly stopped, and the movements of the Storm Warriors who were killing and the Solarians who were fleeing for their lives also froze at the same time. It's as if the whole world has been hit on pause.
"Begin a full treatment of the trialists...... Treatment completed. ”
"Start teleporting."
The space began to ripple. Then, Su Bai's stagnant figure in mid-air dissolved into the ripples little by little, and finally disappeared completely.
……
Spacious and bright classrooms.
"Whew!"
Su Bai suddenly woke up from the chaos, raised his head suddenly, and stood up with a big gasp.
Several of the classmates sitting around were attracted by this movement and looked at him strangely.
The middle-aged man standing on the podium first showed a look of astonishment, and then said with a smile: "That classmate, is the course I taught so bad that it not only made you fall asleep, but also made you have a nightmare?" ”
"Hahaha!"
There was a burst of laughter in the classroom.
Su Bai didn't hear it, and stood in place in a daze, his chest rising and falling violently.
Seeing that he was pale and sweaty, the teacher frowned and asked with concern, "This classmate, are you okay?" Is it because you are not feeling well? Do I need to go to the school hospital? ”
Su Bai gradually came back to his senses. Hearing this, I subconsciously said in English: "No, no. Just a minor issue. ”
Everyone in the classroom had a strange look on their faces.
"It turns out that Su Bai, this guy is so good at English?" A boy with glasses muttered in confusion.
After this period of buffering, Su Bai's consciousness finally came to his senses.
Although he was still a little confused about the current situation, he still realized where he was now, and said apologetically to the teacher on the stage: "I'm sorry, teacher. I might ...... Some are out of state. I'm sorry. ”
The teacher shook his head: "It's okay." If you are really unwell, why don't you find a classmate to accompany you to the school hospital? ”
"No, no." Su Bai hurriedly refused, "I'll be fine if I take a break." ”
"Okay then." The teacher didn't force it anymore and nodded to him, "Please sit down." You can lie on the table and take a break without bracing yourself. ”
"Thank you, teacher." Su Bai thanked him, sat back in his seat, and looked at the table in a daze.
The teacher continued to lecture, glancing at him from time to time.
I found that he was just sitting there in a daze and did not show other adverse symptoms, so I was relieved.
And Su Bai's mind was chaotic at this time.
"What's going on? Wasn't I thrown off a cliff? And the explosion before and the stab that was stabbed by the Storm Samurai...... It stands to reason that I'm dead. ”
He reached out and gently pressed his abdomen, not feeling any pain or anything like that. There was no pain from internal injuries caused by the impact of the explosion anywhere on the body.
And looking around, he is now sitting in the classroom. So, what happened before?
A dream?
Date!
He suddenly thought of the key, immediately took out his phone from his pocket, and pressed the power button. The screen lights up and the time is clearly displayed on it.
At half past eleven Beijing time, the day after he was drunk.
That is, half a day has passed since he was drunk and lost his consciousness and now sitting in the classroom in the real world.
So what's going on in the world of Tomb Raider? He'd been on the island for days.
Su Bai became more and more confused about the current situation.
If the so-called travel is just a dream and does not exist at all, then what is the matter with this memorable half a day?
Could it be that he came to the classroom in sleepwalking?
It's simply impossible! Other classmates and teachers will definitely find out about his abnormality and wake him up as soon as possible.
"System?"
Su Bai tried to shout in a low voice.
There was no response.
He whispered again, "I want to look at the properties panel." ”
Still nothing has been answered.
Su Bai felt more and more dazed.
After sitting in a daze until the end of class, he stood up and began to pack his school bag.
A tall and strong boy walked over, grabbed his shoulders, and asked, "Su Bai, what's wrong with you?" ”
Su Bai smiled at him in front of him: "I'm fine, but I'm in a bad spirit." ”
"Is it because I was drunk yesterday and hasn't woken up yet?" The boy suddenly realized, "No wonder I see that something is wrong with you this morning, you don't talk much, and you have been lying there all the time when you arrive in the classroom." ”
"Is that how I behaved this morning?" Su Bai thought silently.
At this time, the teacher also came over and asked with concern, "This classmate, are you okay?" If there is a problem, be sure to go to the hospital in time. ”
Su Bai shook his head: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern." ”
The boy next to him also said, "Don't worry, teacher." We're in the same dormitory, and I'll watch him. ”
The teacher nodded, said no more, and turned to leave the classroom.
The boy patted Su Bai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go, go eat something, and then go back and get a good night's sleep." Make sure you're alive again. ”
The two left the classroom and went to the cafeteria.
In the process of eating lunch, Su Bai tentatively inquired, and finally figured out his performance this morning.
According to his roommate, he woke up in the morning feeling listless and barely communicated with anyone else.
They thought it was because they were drunk yesterday, so they didn't care.
But Su Bai knew that it was definitely not the sequelae of a hangover. It wasn't even him who manipulated his body during that time!
Could it be that this morning, while dreaming of traveling to the world of Tomb Raider, he still went to class normally, but no one found out that the problem was not possible?
In a messy mind, he was not in the mood to eat. After a few mouthfuls of food, I said hello to my roommate and walked towards the dormitory.
Back in the dormitory, no one else has returned.
Su Bai sat on the chair and was stunned for a while, when suddenly a spirit turned on the computer.
He's going to see how the rest of the game develops.
Although all indications indicate that the previous experience is more like a real dream, he can be sure that the relationship between himself and Laura will not be illusory.
He was worried about what the Storm Warriors would do to Laura.
In addition, he hopes to find some clues from the Internet.
Opening his browser, he typed the keyword "Tomb Raider 9" into the search engine.
Soon, the web page was refreshed.
However, looking at the entries one by one, Su Bai was stunned.
There are tombs and Raiders in each entry, but there is no complete entry for Tomb Raider 9.
"How is that possible?"
His eyes widened instantly.
