[Cafeteria gambit 5] Li Hebing was shocked: Wang Xihu was actually an anomaly

Wang Xihu soon sat down beside Li Zhan, ready to start eating.

At this point, the live chat also realized something was wrong and began discussing it.

"Holy shit, why isn't Boss Chen Han reacting at all?!"

"There are only ten seconds left! Boss Chen Han, hurry up and change seats!"

"Why isn't Li Hebing reacting either? He clearly saw it."

Three seconds passed.

That meant they only had seven seconds left to change seats.

If they wanted to move now, there was still plenty of time.

But Chen Han showed no reaction whatsoever.

Instead, he kept eating, perfectly composed.

He seemed completely unconcerned about what was happening around him.

Li Hebing couldn't help turning to look at Chen Han again.

"Chen Han, have you thought it through?"

Since Chen Yinuo and Li Zhan were nearby, he couldn't reveal too much information when speaking to Chen Han.

He had to stay in character.

When Chen Han heard Li Hebing's question,

he nodded casually.

To him, this didn't seem like a big problem at all.

The livestream chat exploded.

"Was Li Hebing just sounding Boss Chen Han out?!"

"What has Chen Han thought through? Why don't I know about it?"

"Are you stupid, person above me? Normally, he and Li Hebing should be changing seats now, but Chen Han hasn't moved."

"Holy shit, does Boss Chen Han have a plan?"

"I don't know, but I'm so nervous right now! Breaking a rule is no joke!"

Li Hebing was shocked when he saw Chen Han nod so casually!

He had imagined several ways Chen Han might respond, but never this one.

Just like that.

A casual.

Nod?!

Then even the matter of Wang Xihu sitting with everyone

had to be entirely under Chen Han's control.

There wasn't even any need to bring it up.

Li Hebing sat beside Chen Han, deeply uneasy.

As the seconds ticked by,

the noise in the cafeteria grew fainter.

Chen Yinuo's endless speech in front of him also drifted farther and farther away.

The only thing he could hear clearly was his own heartbeat pounding in his ears.

His heart was in his throat.

He even wanted to suddenly change seats in the final few seconds.

But reason told him

that if he really left his seat in those final seconds, he would absolutely lose Chen Han's trust.

If he didn't even dare trust his own boss, there would be no use keeping him around.

Li Hebing rubbed his fingers together uneasily.

He counted silently, One thousand four, one thousand three, one thousand two...

At last, the final second arrived.

Li Hebing took a deep breath.

"One thousand one."

Li Hebing closed his eyes at that moment, as though he couldn't bear to face what came next.

Messages were also flying through the livestream chat.

The viewers were all nervous, and when they got nervous, they wanted to relieve the stress some other way.

That meant sending messages nonstop.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit."

"Chen Han really has that air of someone who lives on the edge of a blade."

"I'm so nervous, help! Is everything really going to be okay?"

The final second passed.

Another ten seconds passed.

Nothing happened.

Li Hebing opened his eyes in disbelief.

Chen Han kept eating.

Chen Yinuo kept giving his speech.

Li Zhan kept listening with a miserable expression.

Meanwhile, Wang Xihu, the culprit behind it all, was staring at him without blinking.

There was a trace of mockery in his eyes.

He was the only one who had noticed all of Li Hebing's little movements.

Li Hebing was stunned.

What the fuck was going on?

The live chat was stunned too.

Messages were now appearing at three times their previous speed.

At a glance, the chat was densely packed.

There was almost no space left.

"Why hasn't anything happened?"

"Could this rule be wrong?"

"What exactly is going on?"

"I feel like this livestream discriminates against people with low IQs."

"I can't understand what happened at all."

Li Hebing panicked at this point.

But he kept forcing himself to stay calm.

He took deep breaths over and over.

There had to be something wrong somewhere.

Otherwise, there was no way they could have gotten through this rule safely.

Li Hebing recalled the rule once again.

[4. Do not eat in groups of more than four people. If there are more than four people, please change seats within ten seconds.]

The rule clearly said, "Do not eat in groups of more than four."

"Four people."

"People."

Wait a second. People?

At that moment, Li Hebing suddenly understood.

But the realization didn't make him feel any better.

Instead, he felt terrified!

The main reason this rule hadn't taken effect for him and Chen Han was:

Wang Xihu wasn't human at all.

He was an anomaly!

Otherwise, there was simply no explanation for why the rule hadn't taken effect!

Besides, when Wang Xihu had sat down beside Li Zhan, apart from Li Hebing looking at him,

Chen Yinuo and Li Zhan had both kept doing their own things.

It was as though they hadn't noticed such a person at all.

As for Chen Han, from his two little movements earlier-the pause and the nod-Li Hebing

could determine one thing: he had noticed all of this long ago.

With these three people's reactions as supporting evidence, the possibility that Wang Xihu was an anomaly became even greater!

But to be safe,

Li Hebing still planned to ask the two people in front of him.

If he asked Chen Yinuo, he would definitely be ignored.

He stood a better chance with Li Zhan.

At that moment, Li Hebing spoke as though in passing.

"Li Zhan, what do you think of Chen Han's deskmate?"

Li Zhan had been eating, but he stopped strangely when he heard that.

His eyes were filled with confusion.

The livestream chat was also shocked by Li Hebing's question.

"What does Li Hebing mean by that?"

"That question came out of nowhere. I don't get it."

"How come Li Hebing has learned to speak in riddles like Boss Chen Han?"

Then Li Zhan said,

"Li Hebing, have you studied yourself stupid?"

"Chen Han doesn't have a deskmate at all."

Just as I thought! Li Hebing said inwardly.

Wang Xihu was an anomaly!

Only players could see anomalies. The students in the instance couldn't see them.

Otherwise, with so many anomalies appearing at noon,

there was no reason the students wouldn't have reacted at all.

That was close. So close.

If I'd really left just now, Chen Yinuo and Li Zhan would undoubtedly have been utterly baffled.

Because from their perspective, I would have changed seats for no apparent reason.

There were only four people here in total. What was Li Hebing avoiding?

If the anomalies discovered that he could actually see them,

there was no question he would die!

Because the cafeteria rules explicitly stated that they must never speak to them.

Luckily, I trusted Boss Chen Han's judgment.

Boss Chen Han really was incredible!

At some point, he had already deduced that Wang Xihu's true identity was an anomaly.

That was why he had been so unconcerned.

This was absolute confidence in his own abilities!

Whether it was Chen Han's deductive ability or his acting, he had indisputably become the most powerful

and unfathomable being in Li Hebing's eyes!

Li Chen casually wiped the sweat from his hands.

He calmed himself down.

Since he had to keep up the act all the way,

he smiled.

"I misspoke. I meant, what do you think about me becoming Chen Han's deskmate?"

"I feel like I have so many questions I want to ask Boss Chen Han."

At that moment, Wang Xihu mouthed something to Li Hebing.

"You want my seat? Not a chance."

Naturally, Li Hebing caught Wang Xihu's reaction out of the corner of his eye.

But he continued pretending he hadn't seen it.

Li Zhan, on the other hand, noticed nothing.

He shrugged.

"I don't really care, but who knows whether the homeroom teacher would agree."

When he said the words "homeroom teacher," the air around Li Zhan grew heavy.
