After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420: Chapter 420: It Exploded, Turns Out It’s a Holographic Game!

The sudden commotion in the Great Hall not only caused the participants in the program to panic and scream, but also stunned the audiences watching the livestream.

...Holy shit, what’s going on here?

What kind of show locks the participants in, seals the doors, and then releases some kind of sedative gas?

Isn’t this blatantly illegal? Is this really the program site or a crime scene?

And what exactly is this gas they’re releasing? Is it sedative or anesthetic?

These are the brightest and smartest high school students across the nation! What if this gas damages their brains? Can the program team really bear such consequences??

Seeing everyone in the Great Hall collapse one after another, quite a few netizens had already grabbed their phones from their desks, ready to call the police, thinking that the program team was up to some kind of illegal activity violating human rights.

And then, at that critical moment, the livestream screen suddenly blacked out.

A line of large text floated onto the screen—

[What you believe to be real, is it truly real?]

-

Meanwhile, on the 27th floor of Qingmang Tower, the operations department.

Watching Lu Sheng collapse during the livestream, Li Muchen stormed over, grabbed the shoulder of the person in charge, his gaze colder and harsher than it had ever been.

The veins on the back of his hand bulged, his grip so strong it felt like he was about to crush the bones of the man, scaring the surrounding staff into shaking with fear.

"You actually dared to use sedative gas on the participating students?"

Li Muchen clenched his fists tightly, barely maintaining his composure, and then stood upright, turning to Chen An. He spoke flatly, "Chen An, come with me to the 12th floor. I’ll bring Shengsheng back first."

However, just as he released his grip, the person in charge grabbed onto his hand instead, swallowed nervously, and said in a trembling voice:

"Wait, President Li. Please don’t get angry, Miss Lu Sheng is perfectly fine. She’s just asleep right now."

"...Asleep?" Li Muchen paused, about to turn away, and questioned coldly, "What’s that supposed to mean?"

"Look at the livestream screen—"

The person in charge pointed at the large screen, at the line of floating text. The next second, the screen interface abruptly switched, returning to the Great Hall.

However, the scene within the Great Hall was completely different from before.

The twenty-eight participating high schoolers, including Lu Sheng and her group of five, were all peacefully asleep in their reclined chairs, as though the chaotic moment of panic, the gas release, and locked doors had never occurred.

As if trying to ensure everyone had a more comfortable sleep, the smart chairs slowly adjusted into the ideal angle for rest and relaxation. Everyone seated appeared to drift off into a deep slumber.

And then, something even more shocking happened.

The smart chairs suddenly raised glass domes from their tops, encasing the occupants as if forming individual pods. Helmets emerged within the pods, gently lowering onto everyone’s heads.

Seeing this, even Chen An—who was accustomed to major surprises—was visibly stunned. He turned to the person in charge and questioned, "...What is this?"

"Actually, this is the real footage of Miss Lu Sheng and the others after entering the hall—they simply lay down on their chairs and fell asleep."
