199 SIMULATION (1/2)
Hae Soo was in the middle of tying a square knot in the bandage when all of a sudden, Mu Lingxi felt that the sight before her blurred for a moment.
Then before she knew it she found herself lying inside a vast room.
The room was circular in shape, reminiscent of a dome arena. Its walls had seals that could isolate sounds and the room was full of beds.
The white beds were placed side by side to each other. Just like how the beds in a hospital ward were arranged.
It looks like she had been teleported again to another place out of the blue.
”Congratulations! The seven days time limit for the semi-annual student assessment has now come to its end. You can now get your rewards. The winner of this competition will be announced shortly.”
Schoolmaster Yin's voice echoed inside the room. His voice was not particularly loud, but it resounded clearly in everyone's ear.
It felt like even if one were to cover one's ear, the voice would still resonate within one's mind, preventing one from shutting it off altogether.
Mu Lingxi sat and she realized that she was wearing the same clothes that she was wearing before entering the battle arena.
The only difference is that it was not tattered nor dirtied in the least. She also realized that the deep gorging wound across her chest was gone without a trace.
Looking around her, she saw her other teammates as well as a couple of other unfamiliar faces wearing the same uniform as theirs.
Just like her, the students were just starting to wake up from each of their own bed. They too had the same confused expression written on their faces.
”What happened? I have no recollection of going in here! I was clearly on the arena just a while ago.”
Chan Gu asked in bewilderment.
All of the other students present at that time had that same question running on their minds.
”The silver elixir that you drank before entering the arena has the ability to produce an effect of having you think that you experience entering a specific scenario which I prepared beforehand. I personally concocted that silver elixir for this specific purpose.”
Schoolmaster Yin's voice sounded once again out of nowhere inside the hospital ward-like place. He carefully explained what really happened during the competition.
According to Schoolmaster Yin's explanation, it was like the students were put under the effect of the silver elixir that he concocted.
After drinking the silver elixir, the students entered some sort of simulation to perform the survival quest.
Meaning, everything that they had experienced inside the arena within the span of days was nothing but a fake. All of it was just happening inside their heads.
”Hmm.. so everything that transpires was just a result of simulation of some sorts.”
Mu Lingxi nodded her head and muttered to herself under her breath as realization dawn on her.
”But if it was like a simulation and everything was just happening inside our heads, how did we managed to team up with our group mates and met the other student competitors??? Also, the matter about me having the chest of a man. How did that happen?!”
Mu Lingxi suddenly thought to herself.
Somehow, she could still understand the point about the simulation. What left her deeply perplexed is the matter concerning the sudden change in her body.
If it was just happening inside her mind, then why is it that she perceived her own body differently?
