Although he was shocked by this plot, Chen Rui still maintained a considerable degree of calmness.
This world gave Chen Rui a very real feeling. The mental power displayed by Elusiel was clearly superior to his, so he could not force himself out of the illusion.
However, there was no perfect existence in this world, and this illusory world was the same. What really worked was the entire mental frame of the illusory power. As for these acquaintances, they were just illusions projected by the mental frame. If it were someone else who entered this place, the missions and events they experienced would definitely be different. But no matter how it changed, the basic "framework" that constructed this world would not change. As long as the key point was grasped, one could break out of the situation and completely shatter these illusions.
The best way was to integrate into this illusion and then find the key point.
"Don't get distracted!" Raphael shouted and stepped forward in time to block Paglio, who had just broken through Chen Rui with the ball.
Because of Raphael's defense, Lomont, who had originally been defending himself, was now unguarded. Paglio immediately passed the ball to Lomont. Lomont jumped up without hesitation. Michael, who had been leaning on Moore, immediately rushed up to block. After Lomont jumped up, he did not shoot. Instead, he passed the ball to Moore under the basket.
There was no defender in front of Moore, and he easily put the ball in the basket. The students watching the game suddenly applauded.
"Are you all right?" Michael patted Chen Rui on the shoulder. "Why are you a little distracted? That woman is a small matter, but some of these guys dared to take the initiative to pick a fight. We must let them know how good we are. Focus, and don't lose to these guys."
Brothers? Okay … Chen Rui suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and nodded.
Although Chen Rui was a semi-otaku in his previous life, he had always been a basketball enthusiast. However, his ability was very average. He loved to watch the NBA with a few of his buddies, and then they would criticize the game and brag about it. It was as if those superstars were rookies and he was much better than them.
In this illusion, he did not have the strength of a pinnacle Semi-God, but his perception and motor abilities were quite outstanding among ordinary people. If his combat power in his previous life on Earth was compared to the combat power of five trash, his current combat power might be between eighty to ninety.
The score became 1-0. Lomont started to serve again. Paglio received the ball and easily broke through Chen Rui again. Just when the poison dragon jumped up to shoot decisively, a hand appeared above and slapped the ball out of bounds. It was Chen Rui.
Chen Rui grinned. "Little guy, have you thought about me? The hotpot is for you. "
The opportunity to compete with the poison dragon in basketball was considered unique. Since he still couldn't find the flaw in this illusion, he might as well enjoy it.
Paglio snorted and ran over to serve again. Although this hotpot was beautifully covered, the applause was sparse. It formed a sharp contrast with Paglio's team's previous score.
Chen Rui looked at the direction of the applause, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead. In addition to Tessanier, there were a few familiar faces. Satan, Ben Hong, Abaddon, Charlie … Satan even whistled.
Well, even Tiffany can become an enemy, and Michael can become a best friend. In this collapsing world, what else can't be accepted? At least, Sister Ben Hong is still on my side.
The game continued. Although Paglio's team worked hard and had the support of most of the audience, Chen Rui's team was still more skilled. They finally won the game 10 to 6.
"The three strongest people in the sports department are just so-so. If I knew this earlier, I wouldn't have used my full strength. I would've played with you guys more." Raphael took a sip of his drink and looked at the three people on the opposite side contemptuously. His ability to attract hatred was not inferior to the other world.
Paglio's face was livid. He pulled Lomont who was about to come up and beat him up, and he glared at Chen Rui fiercely. "You won. I'm willing to admit defeat. In the future, I won't care about you and Athena!"
Chen Rui thought of Tiffany's attitude toward him before, and he had a strange feeling in his heart. As he was about to speak, Paglio's team had already turned around and left. The surrounding audience also dispersed.
"Let's go to 'Happy Hour' tonight to celebrate." Satan walked over with Ben Hong's team and high-fived Chen Rui's team one by one. "I knew you guys would win, so I booked the night show early in the morning."
Chen Rui looked at Satan, who was dressed in famous brands and was just short of writing "tall, rich, and handsome" on his face. He really wanted to say, "Nouveau riche, let's be friends." However, the most important thing for him now was to clarify some problems. In this world, it seemed that the originally familiar good friends had become strange enemies, and the originally strange enemies had become good friends who were still not familiar with each other. This kind of confusing "setting" would undoubtedly make it more difficult to find the key point.
"Okay." Michael looked at Chen Rui and Raphael. "Let's go back and take a bath first. Then we'll meet at the old place."
"Wait a minute, Chen Rui. Didn't you say you'd accompany me to the library?" Gabriel was unhappy.
It just so happened that Chen Rui did not know where to go back, so he immediately agreed.
Michael frowned and pulled Chen Rui aside. He lowered his voice and said, "We're all brothers who grew up together. I know you have a lot of women, and you're also engaged to the woman from the Mammon family … I'll just say one thing. Unless you can marry Tessanier, otherwise, you must never have any ideas about her!"
"I understand." Chen Rui looked at Michael's expression that was as if he was guarding against a thief and nodded with a wry smile.
Raphael looked at Gabriel, who only had eyes for Chen Rui, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. Ben Hong, who had been silent, looked at Chen Rui's arm that was held by Gabriel and seemed to be even more silent.
After separating from Michael, Satan, and the others, Gabriel happily held Chen Rui's arm and walked in the direction of the library. Chen Rui found that when the students along the way saw him, they would hide from a distance as if they had seen a plague.
"Tessanier." Chen Rui thought for a moment. "Err … What kind of person am I?"
"I don't care what others think of you. Anyway, since I was a child, I've felt …" Before Gabriel finished speaking, her face was already red and she lowered her head.
Chen Rui was speechless for a while. Obviously, Gabriel had misunderstood his meaning. However, he could faintly see some problems from the first half of the sentence.
Soon they arrived at the library. The library was very large and there were many people.
Gabriel took Chen Rui's hand and picked up the books together. As she flipped through them, she made notes in a small notebook. After a while, Chen Rui's hands were filled with a thick stack of books.
Sister Tessanier said embarrassedly, "I want to borrow these books. It's too heavy to carry them like this. You go to the reading room and wait for me. I still have to find some materials. I'll come to you when I'm done."
Chen Rui nodded, held a large stack of books, and walked to the reading room. The books that Sister Tessanier chose were not ordinary ones. "Brief Introduction to Philosophy," "History of Theology," "On Immortality" … As expected of the Supreme Angel. Although it was a different world, she still chose such a suitable major … Chen Rui was complaining in his heart when he suddenly saw a familiar female figure in front of him. He blurted out, "Jía!"
The figure turned around. It was indeed his Royal Highness Princess Royal. She was still the icy temperament of a royal sister type. However, her purple eyes revealed a strong hatred and murderous aura, which made Chen Rui startled.
Jía walked over quickly, gritted her teeth, and said, "Where is my sister?"
"Alice?" Chen Rui asked tentatively.
"Say it! What did you do to Alice! "
"I don't know …" The anger made Chen Rui take a few steps back.
Jía clenched her fists angrily, "Come at me if you have the guts!"
"Loud noises are prohibited in the library." An indifferent female voice sounded behind him. It was the fairy dragon's mother-in-law, Meriah. There was a librarian's sign on her chest.
"Teacher Meriah." Jía regained some calmness.
"This is the library. Don't disturb others." Meriah looked at Jía with a little softness in her eyes, "If there's anything, go out and solve it. You can call the police if necessary."
"Sorry, I got it." Jía nodded, glanced at Chen Rui, and walked out.
"Aunt Meriah …" Chen Rui shouted, but Meriah didn't even look at him. She walked straight away as if he was transparent.
Chen Rui was embarrassed. He came to a table and sat down. The nearby students got up and left one after another. One person didn't react at first. He was pulled by his companions and quickly left. Chen Rui could only smile bitterly.
Some whispers could be heard in the distance.
"Have you heard? That Chen Rui seems to be engaged to Tiffany from the Student Union. "
"Tiffany from the Discipline Inspection Department? It's impossible! "
"It's the Mammon family's decision. Although Tiffany strongly opposed it, it didn't succeed. Hmph! That guy's father is the patriarch of the Roland family and one of the most influential directors in the school! "
"It's really a flower stuck in the ground …"
"Let's not talk about the senior first. That guy has used his family's power and wealth to harm countless girls …"
"I know. Two girls from the Arts Department were cheated by him. He dumped them after he got tired of them. One of the girls almost committed suicide."
"It's said that he also coerced a female teacher and took nude photos. That female teacher's daughter is already in kindergarten …"
"That's Senior Jía from the Economics and Management Department. She has been helping those students who are bullied by him. Sister Jía is only in junior high school. She suddenly disappeared yesterday. It's most likely that it was that scumbag who did it …"
"Also, he recently took a fancy to a girl from the Sports Department who came from a poor family called Athena. He gave her a lot of expensive gifts, but she wasn't moved. In the end, it seemed that this guy's soft approach didn't work. He simply asked someone to smash the stall set up by Athena's father …"
"It's Uncle George who sells pastries, right? No wonder that guy is called 'Zha Chen' …"
"Paglio, Moore, and Lomont from the Sports Department specially found Zha Chen for this matter and organized a basketball match. If Zha Chen loses, he can't do anything to Athena anymore."
"You still don't know? Just now on the basketball court, Senior Paglio and the others have already lost. "
"Damn, that Athena …"
"Lower your voice, Zha Chen is looking over here. Let's go!"
"…"
Chen Rui's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat. Apart from those familiar names, he had abandoned the girls from the Arts Department, threatened a married female teacher, kidnapped a lolita, and even injured a girl's father in order to threaten her … This was no longer as simple as "spending the day on campus". He was an out-and-out scumbag!
Damn it, where the hell was the key point? If he continued to stay in this world, even a good person's worldview would be ruined …
