Bang!
The boy’s body fell to the ground, motionless.
Silence all around. Everyone was speechless.
“Clang”—another sound as the noodle bowl dropped from Chen Hui’s hand and smashed on the ground.
She looked at her fallen classmate in disbelief. A chill rose from the soles of her feet straight up, making her shiver!
“Lin Zihang.”
She called softly.
Called again.
“Lin Zihang…”
Lin Zihang lay on the ground. His eyes were open, but his body didn’t move, and even his facial expression didn’t change.
Chen Hui’s eyes reddened. “Lin Zihang, don’t scare me… Say something…”
The other students slowly gathered around.
Tu Dan noticed the situation here and ran over, dropping her bowl and chopsticks. Seeing her student on the ground, she was startled and instinctively reached out to help—
However, the moment she’d barely lifted that body halfway, Tu Dan’s hand suddenly withdrew as if scalded!
Lin Zihang’s upper body lost its support and fell again, his head hitting the ground together, bouncing up visibly before falling down—the elasticity and sound of rubber hitting the ground.
Now the others also realized something was wrong…
No one dared speak.
Even though they vaguely guessed what was happening, they could only watch helplessly. They could do nothing.
The silent, oppressive atmosphere continued until Shen Mo returned.
He saw everyone surrounding a male student on the ground.
The student’s condition was somewhat strange—wooden and stiff, with vaguely weak breathing, yet not a trace of vitality could be felt. And his face… his skin was gradually showing a plastic quality.
Shen Mo swept his eyes over everyone and asked, “What happened?”
No one answered him.
Chen Hui was startled awake by this voice. She came to her senses, staring straight at Bai Youwei in the tent—
Suddenly she lunged forward!
Shen Mo reached out to stop her.
Chen Hui was grabbed by the shoulder and missed her target. Eyes red, she shouted at Bai Youwei, “Why is this happening?! Why?!!”
Bai Youwei frowned at her. “I don’t know.”
Chen Hui couldn’t accept this answer. Crying, she said, “You know! You must know! Otherwise you wouldn’t have asked me to call him over!”
“I only noticed his school uniform was reversed,” Bai Youwei replied.
Everyone froze.
Then their gazes all focused on the fallen male student.
—The uniform was a athletic style. The school emblem was embroidered on the right chest, but on Lin Zihang’s clothes, the emblem was on the left.
At first glance it seemed like a manufacturing error. Looking more carefully, one would notice that the abbreviated letters on the emblem were also reversed.
Reversed…
Everything was reversed.
A left-side part became a right-side part. The watch on his left hand had moved to his right. The logos on his athletic shoes were also reversed. Lin Zihang’s entire person was reversed!
Emotions are contagious.
Fear and sorrow spread through the crowd.
They had witnessed the tragic deaths of classmates in games before, but this kind… this kind of transformation into a doll right before their eyes brought a shock that made every student freeze to the bone!
Tu Dan was also stunned by this turn of events.
Only when Shen Mo spoke from the side did Tu Dan snap out of it. Bewildered, she called two male students over to carry Lin Zihang back to a tent.
Lin Zihang’s body had become extraordinarily light. The two boys barely used any strength to lift him entirely.
His body had already become semi-rigid, body temperature gradually disappearing. Vacant eyes stared at the sky, as if also asking: Why is this happening?
Watching a classmate who spent every day with them transform into a doll bit by bit before their eyes was no different from psychological torture. Many students were wiping away tears.
Bai Youwei looked at them and asked, “Who was this boy closest to normally? Was he like this since last night, or did he become this way this morning?”
