Moreover, their situation of "not waking up smoothly" was actually quite special.
Generally speaking, when the mist shrouding a player's head during "Ideological Reform" dissipates, they automatically wake up from the reform process.
However, at this mont, for this group of seniors in the central area...
The mist shrouding their heads had clearly already dissipated on its own.
Yet, they remained with their eyes tightly shut, showing no signs of waking up at all!
This situation had never occurred before.
For a mont, those seniors who had chosen to avoid the central area all cast inquisitive glances towards the few seniors there.
However, these inquisitive glances didn't last long.
After all, according to school regulations, they must return to their dormitories by 23:30 and enter the "Dreamland."
Naturally, they didn't have much ti to stay here and watch the show.
So, one after another, the veteran players who woke up in the second batch also left.
The third batch to wake up were the newbie players.
It was their first ti experiencing "Ideological Reform," they had no experience and were easily imrsed in it.
There were even a few newcors who failed to wake up smoothly.
The mist shrouding their heads grew increasingly dense, quickly spreading over their entire bodies.
And when a person was completely enveloped by mist, it ant they had completely lost themselves, suffered a ntal breakdown, leading to the annihilation of their soul.
When the mist covering their bodies dissipated, those players had already completely vanished...
The other newcors who woke up successfully looked at those few who were devoured by the mist, their faces belatedly showing terror.
At the sa ti, due to school regulations, they also had to quickly leave the Grand Auditorium and head to their dormitories to prepare to enter the "Dreamland."
And as ti passed...
Only the few players in the central area remained in the entire Grand Auditorium.
Although their heads weren't shrouded in mist, they seed to be imrsed in so world, not waking up for a long ti.
Generally, players who beco imrsed in Ideological Reform and cannot wake up would be devoured by the mist, just like those few newcors.
However, these players in the central area no longer had mist on their heads, so they obviously wouldn't be devoured...
But, if they still haven't woken up by 23:30...
Then they won't be able to enter the "Dreamland" on ti, which would violate school rules.
Ti slowly flowed by, the entire auditorium was silent, yet filled with an indescribably eerie atmosphere.
Until 23:29.
This group of players still hadn't woken up.
At 23:29:30, the entire school once again rang with a distant, drawn-out chi...
Signaling the 30-second countdown to "Dreamland."
The bell chid every 3 seconds.
Until the third chi...
The five clear-eyed yet foolish newcors sitting at the relatively outer edge of the central area, as if "startled from a deathbed illness," all jolted awake in shock.
The expressions on their faces were filled with a dazed terror, mixed with a hint of lancholy and loss.
After looking around in confusion, it was only when the fourth chi sounded that they suddenly realized, completely snapping back from the "Ideological Reform"—
A seemingly lively youth couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap! This imrsive 'Ideological Reform' is way too aweso! I totally forgot what year it was during the reform, I even forgot who I was!"
"Seriously?" The glasses-wearing youth looked both speechless and terrified, "You actually have the mood to reminisce about the Ideological Reform? The problem right now is clearly—we have to get back to the dorm and enter the 'Dreamland' imdiately, right?!"
"Yeah! We..."
The fifth chi sounded, and the five youths finally realized their perilous situation, their faces uniformly showing terror.
However, soon their gazes fell upon those "seniors" also in the central area who hadn't woken up.
The glasses-wearing youth's eyes hardened, and he said decisively:
"Relying on ourselves, there's definitely no way we can get back to the dorm in a few seconds... We can only depend on these seniors!"
"You an... we should wake these seniors up??"
"But look, the entire Grand Auditorium, all the other players are gone! And no one woke us up!"
"And these seniors in the central area even include the Student Council President! With the Student Council President's connections and status, no one even woke him up..."
"So I'm guessing, maybe it's like how you shouldn't forcefully wake a sleepwalker, these players who haven't woken up also shouldn't be forcibly awakened!"
"But if we don't wake them..."
They spoke extrely fast, yet ti didn't stop for them.
The bell soon chid for the eighth ti.
The five clear-eyed yet foolish newbies were filled with despair.
They had certainly realized that perhaps you really shouldn't forcibly wake players undergoing "Ideological Reform"...
But now, they had no choice!
The most decisive was still that glasses-wearing youth.
He steeled his heart and walked directly to Du Yuheng's seat.
After all...
Du Yuheng had experienced so many reincarnation dreams, as a "Reincarnator," he should have encountered more unexpected situations and had stronger adaptability, right?
At the ninth chi, the glasses-wearing youth heavily shook Du Yuheng's shoulder, almost shouting into his ear:
"Du Yuheng?! Wake up! It's almost 23:30, we have to enter the 'Dreamland'!"
"If you don't wake up, you'll violate school rules!"
"Wake up..."
Wake up...
In Du Yuheng's blurred consciousness, he really did hear a voice calling him.
It seed to be...
Calling him to wake up?
When the tenth chi sounded, the ti officially reached the designated mont to enter the "Dreamland" at 23:30.
Soon, the final chi stopped.
The despair and terror on the faces of the five clear-eyed yet foolish newbie players gradually turned to bewildernt...
Huh? This...
That's strange!
It's clearly already 23:30...
They haven't entered the "Dreamland," so why is nothing happening?
While they were bewildered, the glasses-wearing youth who was pushing Du Yuheng was startled by Du Yuheng's sudden, startled awakening.
He took half a step back, then looked at Du Yuheng with a face full of joy: "Great! Senior, you're finally awake!"
The expression on Du Yuheng's face was also one of dazed astonishnt.
After a long while, he slowly ca to his senses and looked at these few newbies: "I..."
"Holy crap?" His astonishnt turned into an exclamation.
His gaze also shifted from the five newbies to those seniors who still hadn't woken up.
The glasses-wearing youth quickly explained the current situation to him.
That is, the players in the central area hadn't woken up smoothly...
The ti had already passed 23:30, they hadn't entered the "Dreamland," but they also hadn't been punished.
The glasses-wearing youth asked with lingering fear, "Senior, do you know what's really going on?"
Du Yuheng hesitated for a mont, then said gravely:
"If you're asking why we didn't wake up smoothly... I don't know why, this situation never appeared in my reincarnation dreams either."
"But if you're asking why we haven't been punished by school rules for not entering the 'Dreamland' after 23:30..."
"Then I can tell you clearly—"
"Actually, the school rule stipulates that the ti to enter the 'Dreamland' is 0 o'clock."
"The reason veteran players told us it was 23:30 is because we have half an hour to et the Boss in an early 'Dreamland.'"
"So that's it..." The glasses-wearing youth quickly understood, but was still worried, "So we didn't violate school rules, but we failed to et the Boss in ti... In this situation, will we be punished by the Boss?"
Du Yuheng didn't answer this question.
After all, even though he had experienced so many reincarnation dreams, he had never managed to figure out that mysterious and unpredictable Boss.
His attention soon fell on the other seniors who hadn't woken up...
The glasses-wearing youth imdiately spoke up: "Should we wake these other seniors up too?"
Du Yuheng pondered for a mont, then shook his head decisively: "No need."
A flash of terror quickly passed through the glasses-wearing youth's eyes, and he cautiously asked, "Then, should we go back to the dorm now?"
Du Yuheng's expression was indifferent: "Up to you, I'm waiting here."
The youths looked at each other, hesitated several tis, and ultimately chose to stay here, guarding the seniors until they woke up.
About less than a minute later.
Song Jie and Qi Anlin woke up, also in a state of shock.
Less than two minutes later, a few more seniors among the veteran players woke up.
Around 23:38, Wu Zhu, Zhang E, and Lin Dong woke up one after another.
Finally, in the two minutes from 23:38 to 23:40, He Yuliang, who possessed a past life, and Li Ku, whose face was covered with abyss-like cracks, also woke up successively.
So after 23:40, the only one who still hadn't woken up...
Was Jiang Ye alone!
And these players who woke up from the central area all chose not to leave.
Instead, they all waited here.
Of course, while waiting, they also communicated with each other, exchanging so information.
First, it could be confird—
During the four hours of "Ideological Reform," what they experienced imrsively should be the sa "movie."
However, the "movie" characters they experienced were not the sa.
And the order in which they woke up...
Should correspond to the order in which the characters they experienced in the "movie" went offline.
Therefore, the reason Jiang Ye woke up last was probably because the character he experienced in the "movie" still hadn't gone offline yet.
Secondly, Du Yuheng was forcibly awakened.
So the "movie" character he experienced essentially went offline against the plot.
But whether this forced offline had any negative effects on him? Du Yuheng couldn't say either.
Finally...
After comparing information about the "movie"...
Du Yuheng, under the puzzled gazes of Li Ku and He Yuliang, brought up a relatively crucial piece of information—
"In my reincarnation dreams, the 'Ideological Reform' I experienced on the first day of school was indeed experiencing a movie."
"But those movies I repeatedly experienced in those dreams are clearly not the sa as the one I experienced today."
"Although in my dreams, I wasn't sitting in the central area."
"The players sitting in the central area in my dreams also didn't experience this kind of abnormal phenonon we went through."
In other words...
This real situation once again presented itself as different from Du Yuheng's dreams.
So, what was the butterfly's wing flap that caused this different phenonon?
Li Ku and He Yuliang's gazes naturally fell upon the two small black fish within the relief Fish School.
However, after pondering, Du Yuheng offered another guess:
"Perhaps it's because of those two mutated small fish that everything, from the auditorium itself to the 'Ideological Reform' we experienced, has changed."
"But I think there's another possibility..."
"That is, my 11th reincarnation dream itself is different from the first 10."
"What I an is... The reason the situation we experienced in the Grand Auditorium in reality is different from the situation in my first 10 reincarnation dreams is because the 11th is already different from the first ten."
"And the cause of this difference is the sa as the reason the two new figures appeared."
In other words...
The reason they experienced a different auditorium Ideological Reform...
Was because Jiang Ye and He Yuliang appeared in this reality.
He Yuliang pondered for a mont, then confird with Du Yuheng: "So, in your 11th dream, you didn't experience 'Ideological Reform'?"
Du Yuheng nodded.
Then indeed, it's possible that the appearance of these two new figures, Jiang Ye and He Yuliang, itself heralds a completely new situation?
Among the players present waiting for Jiang Ye to wake up, so were thoughtful, while others cast their gazes upon Jiang Ye.
After a mont of silence, Student Council President Lin Dong broke the stalemate, saying gravely:
"Even if the real school rule is to enter the 'Dreamland' at 0 o'clock, I must et the Boss tonight for tomorrow's experint."
Wu Zhu directly raised an eyebrow: "You can go back to the dorm alone, no one will stop you."
Lin Dong imdiately frowned: "What I an is, there's no point in us waiting here indefinitely."
"What if this guy still hasn't woken up by 0 o'clock?"
Li Ku's gaze fixed on Jiang Ye, and after a mont of silence, he also yielded to Lin Dong's opinion.
However, when he spoke, he said:
"In past situations, players who didn't wake up couldn't leave the auditorium, mainly because those players were still shrouded in mist."
"But the current situation is clearly different from the past..."
Yes, although Jiang Ye hadn't woken up, there was no mist on him.
Lin Dong nodded in agreent: "That's what I an too—"
"Perhaps we can take him in his sleeping state and leave the auditorium."
"That way, if he happens to wake up right at 0 o'clock, then being in the dorm, he can directly enter the 'Dreamland' from a waking state at 0 o'clock."
That way, it wouldn't violate school rules.
The other veteran players actually didn't care much about Jiang Ye, so naturally, they had no objection to the idea of moving the sleeping Jiang Ye to the dorm.
However, as Jiang Ye's "good brother," He Yuliang was still sowhat hesitant. He deliberately reminded:
"Regardless, since our Ideological Reform is confined to the auditorium..."
"Then, even though Zhou Qiming doesn't have mist on him, if we directly move him out of the auditorium, might it still cause him to wake up early?"
Actually, Lin Dong didn't care much about Jiang Ye either.
In his view...
So what if he wakes up early?
Wasn't Du Yuheng forcibly awakened and woke up early too?
From his situation, waking up early doesn't seem to have any side effects.
Actually, Li Ku thought the sa.
But after all, he had interests tied to Jiang Ye.
He still needed Jiang Ye to give him the Exile City spot...
So, after brief hesitation, Li Ku made a decision:
"You all go back to the dorm, I'll stay here and keep watch alone."
After saying that, he added to Lin Dong: "Aren't you going to et the Boss? You can also ntion this situation to the Boss."
