When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 1049: Chapter 387: One Third of the Three Paintings

It seems a bit strange.

…Why was there no specific time given when the ceremony started?

This was Aiwass’s last thought before his consciousness was stripped away.

But he soon regained consciousness.

However, when Aiwass opened his eyes again, he immediately felt an extremely bizarre sense of dissonance.

Everything around him seemed too bright and colorful…

…Is it because its “quality” is too high, that it somehow looks a bit unreal?

At this moment, he is at a grand banquet, wearing a brown suit and holding a glass of red wine that’s only one-third full.

They are standing on a deep red carpet resembling raspberry jam, and beneath the carpet is a pristine white three-tiered circular platform resembling a cream cake. The surrounding walls are draped with dark curtains, and chandeliers hang above.

The men and women around are chatting and laughing, the noisy sound echoing in the center of the dance floor, occasionally interspersed with a cheerful or loud laugh, and in a corner, a band is playing a bluesy, melancholic tune, completely contrary to the current festive atmosphere.

As Aiwass walks forward with his wine glass, the crowded dance floor slowly parts to both sides, like the parting of the Red Sea. They don’t talk to Aiwass, nor do they even look at him; their bodies just automatically move aside.

—Suddenly, Aiwass realizes what’s not quite right.
