Is this world real?
For the people of this world, this is real. But for us, it’s called confinement.

Yang Sun scratched his head, rolled his eyes, and stretched his lazy back.
The comment he had just left on the bar had already been answered by countless people, with mixed reactions.
Reply 1L: Come on, it’s all just the landlord’s own assumptions. It’s not right for you to call people names like that.
Reply 2L: I really don’t understand it now. To follow the rumor is also to take legal responsibility. You people shouldn’t always follow the trend, a bunch of idiots.
Reply 3L: I thought this person’s tone was a little too aggressive but is it necessary to pick on him?
Reply 4L: I’m afraid the upstairs is an idiot. How many people has this guy scolded? If you don’t know, don’t feel sorry for him, he owes a lot to be cleaned up.
……
Yang Sun looked over the comments and sneered. His psychological quality is very strong as he has long been used to being blasted by people. His side business is to earn a little money as a navy. Any comments from netizens will not have any effect on people like him.
With that in mind, he picked up the Coke from the table, opened the can, and gulped it into his mouth. He was going to take a break and fight for another three hundred rounds.
“PENG”, the computer screen suddenly went black and even made a violent popping sound. Yang Sun was so shocked that his whole body bounced off the stool. He even tripped over the seat with his right leg. He staggered and fell to the ground with the stool.
Yang Sun sucked in a breath of cold air and wrapped his hands around his right leg. His expression was grim, and his right leg began to twitch in pain.
“F*ck,” Yang Sun cursed under his breath.
No one from their dorm room was there today, and even if there was someone in the dorm room right now, no one would care if he lived or died. After all, he basically had zero interaction with anyone in the dorm room, and he didn’t even go to class.
In other words, he was just a freak.
He was unclean, sloppy, and uncommunicative. He always kept his head down and was very gloomy.
The horror in Yang Sun’s eyes hadn’t faded away yet. He swallowed and managed to get up from the ground with difficulty.
What happened?
The computer screen flickered again, emitting a white light. It repeated twice, and Yang Sun’s veins popped up. The computer screen began to slowly repair itself. In less than ten seconds, the original black screen of the computer returned to its original state. Even the pages were still the same as they were when Yang Sun opened them.
It was as if nothing had just happened.
Yang Sun paused and hesitated, taking a cautious step and leaning towards the computer.

After that, he picked up the seat he had just tripped over and sat back down on it.
Before he could sit still, the normal computer screen started to twitch again. It actually started to manipulate itself uncontrollably, jumping directly from the initial posting page related to Xiao Chen to the private message page.
When Yang Sun saw this, his heart sank, and an ominous premonition rose.
Stranger Message:
787422: Time: 15:25, Location: Dorm 404.
787422: Are you ready for the Devil’s punishment?
The black fonts were like broken mirrors, shattered into pieces, and put back together again. The scarlet red font grew larger and larger as if it were trying to break through the screen!
Yang Sun’s hands trembled as he tried to get up and escape.
But he was horrified to discover that no matter how much he moved, he couldn’t sit up from the seat like his butt was glued to it.
“Oooooh.” Yang Sun wanted to scream but could only make an unpleasant muffled sound and could not scream at all.
The veins on Yang Sun’s hands and forehead were bulging, his eyes looked like they were about to burst out, and his expression was hideous.
No, I don’t want to die!
Yang Sun struggled desperately. He was looking right at the computer, and could even clearly see the time displayed on the computer!!!!
15:22.
There were three minutes left!!!
“Oooooh.” Yang Sun tried to kick his legs, but nothing could be done, and both of his eyes shed tears in anxiousness.
Someone help me!!!
Yang Sun’s eyes rolled back, his mouth started to foam, and his body convulsed violently. His fingers stayed in the air in a strange position, resembling a zombie; he was very stiff.
One minute……
Two minutes……
Three minutes……
The computer screen occupied by the scarlet font flickered and jumped back to the computer desktop.
The force that restrained Yang Sun slowly disappeared. His head swayed to the right, and with a “Duang” sound, he slid off the stool and fell to the ground…….
Everything returned to silence again.

“Team Zhou, a senior detective will be sent from above to assist you in your investigation today.”
Zhou Yingmei tapped the fingers of her right hand on the table repeatedly. When she heard the words on the other end of the phone, her expression remained unchanged, but there was a coldness in her eyebrows that could not be concealed.
This school actually had another case!
Sh*t!!!
How many days has it been? There was one murder after another.
The people above couldn’t hold back any longer! Even her ability to solve cases was beginning to be questioned.
The school had suspended classes, so all students were confined to their dormitories and not allowed to go out. Everyone was panicked.
When she hung up the phone, Zhou Yingmei supported her head with her hand. Her expression was solemn, and her entire state was visibly haggard.
She contemplated in the same place for an unknown period with a grimace on her face before she finally sat up. She breathed out a sigh of relief and took another breath.
No way! She must persevere!

Xiao Chen began to wander off again. He recently felt that his memory was getting worse and worse, and he couldn’t even lift his spirits.
The school had been closed, students were not allowed to go out, and no one from the outside was allowed to come in. There were security lines set up everywhere, and countless police officers patrolled the area every day.
The breeze gently blew, stirring the hair that covered his eyes, making his gray eyes faintly visible.
He had sneaked out.
Xiao Chen raised his head to look up at the tree above his head. The leaves fluttered gently as the wind blew.
“Su Yan?” Xiao Chen muttered, his expression somewhat trance-like.
He was now beginning to wonder if Su Yan was his imagination.
The scene from that day would surface in his mind from time to time, but it wasn’t so real.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen took out his phone and somehow opened his Favorites in the bar.
Huh?
Xiao Chen was stunned.
That post about him from yesterday had disappeared!
What happened?
Xiao Chen refreshed it twice.
If the post was deleted by the poster or by the administrator, those posts’ titles would still be in the Favorites list. But a reminder that they have been deleted will be displayed when they are clicked. They cannot disappear for no reason.
What’s going on?!
Xiao Chen seemed to have thought of something else and directly exited the page and clicked on his chat software.
Xiao Chen paused.
Eh? Yesterday’s chats are gone too!
Xiao Chen didn’t have the habit of deleting his chat logs because he didn’t have many friends and chatted less.
What happened?
Xiao Chen was horrified inside and immediately clicked on his friend bar.
When Xiao Chen saw clearly, his hand shook slightly, and his phone nearly fell off his hand.
Wang Jingyi had disappeared from his list as well!
It was like something that was abnormal would be forcefully pulled back into its original path.

Zhou Yingmei’s face was ashen, and she pondered with her head propped up.
The young officer on the side stood behind her with a walkie-talkie in his hand. He deliberately lowered his voice for fear of disturbing the captain’s train of thought. He muffled the whole time, repeating five or six times, “Roger.”
Turning off the radio, the young officer looked a little hesitant. He circled around a few times and bowed his head for a moment, before finally, he opened his mouth and said, “Captain, the person sent from above has arrived! Just waiting outside.”
Zhou Yingmei’s head, which was originally lowered, slowly lifted up, her appearance unchanged, “Mm, I see.”
After a pause, she seemed to have thought of something, “What’s the other person’s name?”
The young officer pondered for five seconds and said somewhat hesitantly, “It seems to be called Su Yan.”
