"Graduates entering——"
The auditorium door slowly opened. The pipe organ played the school song, solemn and heavy. Lin Che followed the flow of people into the auditorium. The moment the hem of his bachelor's uniform swept across the threshold, he suddenly felt a stab of pain on the back of his right hand.
He lowered his head.
The almost invisible silver scar on the back of the hand was emitting a faint heat at the moment.
Lin Che's footsteps paused. The person behind him bumped into his back and complained softly. But he couldn't hear it. All the sounds are fading away, all the colors are fading, and only -
rules.
The silver words unfolded before his eyes like a waterfall, not floating in the air, but imprinted directly on his optic nerve. He didn't need to read, the information was forced into his consciousness:
[Regular Scenario: Silent Library (Beta Version)]
[Number of participants: 427 people]
[Core rules: No sound is allowed (definition: sound pressure level exceeds 30 decibels)]
[Penalty for violation: shadow assimilation]
[Duration: unknown]
[Target:? ? ?
Lin Che's breathing stopped. He stood there, his fingers firmly grasping the cuffs of his academic uniform. The surrounding students were still walking forward, the professors were sitting on the podium smiling, and the parents were raising their mobile phones in the audience - none of them saw it. Those silver words appeared only to him.
After it went out for the third time, and when it came back on, everything had changed.
