Chapter 118: Mob Mentality (2)

As soon as Gu Yi said 'begin', all the students around him began to move.

The aroma of the food in the cafeteria wafted into his nostrils, making his mouth water.

Holding his tray, Gu Yi didn't rush to move. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to deduce the situation.

(Deduction begins!)

(You hold the tray, feel your clothes, and find a fountain pen in a hidden pocket on your chest pocket.)

(You place the pen where it can be easily reached.)

(You follow the line slowly.)

(You look around the cafeteria to see if there are any hint notes or math problems to solve when ordering food.)

(You discover it's just a very ordinary university cafeteria.)

(You continue to follow the line and casually select some food.)

(You return to your seat.)

(A girl suddenly approaches and blocks your way.)

(Girl: Why did you touch my butt?)

(You: When did I touch you?)

(Girl: Just now, you pervert.)

(You: I didn't. Both my hands were holding the tray. How could I have touched you?)

(Girl: You did touch me. Typical pervert. Disgusting!)

(The girl mutters and walks away, taking a couple of pictures of you.)

(You frown and sit down.)

(You feel the ink pen in your pocket getting hot and take it out.)

(A third of the ink has disappeared.)

(You blink, and suddenly it's evening.)

(You enter your dormitory. Your roommates point at you and whisper.)

(Roommate A: Never expected this from you. So, you're a pervert now?)

(Roommate B: Gross. Don't hang out with us anymore.)

(Roommate C: You can never truly know someone.)

(You: I didn't do anything wrong. Who told you this?)

(Roommate A: It's all over the forum.)

(You turn on your computer and log into the university's forum.)

(Ladies, stay away from men like this. He acts without admitting, blatantly harasses and then deflects the blame on the victim?)

(@universityLeadership: Expel this scum from the university immediately!)

(Your pen became hot again.)

(You took a look and saw the ink had run dry.)

(The voice of the invigilator echoed in your ear.)

(Invigilator: The test is over. Your final scores are - Emotionality: 3 points, Rationality: 5 points.)

(Your vision became hazy.)

(The simulation ended!)

"What the hell, is this a university forum or a trashy novel?"

Gu Yi bit his lip.

In this extremely biased public opinion environment, winning an argument seemed impossible. The opponent was a master manipulator of emotions. Once everyone's emotions were stirred up, nobody would care about the truth.

What would happen if he somehow "skipped accusation" and avoided the girl?

Gu Yi closed his eyes again.

(The deduction begins!)

(You're holding a tray, scanning through the crowd, quickly locating the female student.)

(You used a psychological suggestion on her.)

(She paused for a moment in line before immediately turning and leaving the cafeteria.)

(You stopped lining up, placed down your tray, and left the cafeteria in the opposite direction, trying to avoid the female student.)

(Just as you reached the exit, another female student stopped you.)

(Girl: Don't leave.)

(You: What do you want?)

(Girl: I lost my wallet. I saw you acting suspiciously in the crowd. I suspect you stole it.)

(You realized what was happening.)

(Even if you escaped the harassment accusation, the system would immediately conjure a theft allegation. The "skipping accusation" approach was flawed.)

(You: If you lost your wallet, you should report it to the police, not accuse me.)

(Girl: I lost my wallet at the cafeteria entrance, and only you passed by me at that time. You are the only one who could steal my wallet.)

(You: Don't make accusations without evidence.)

(You dialed the police in front of her.)

(You: Let's wait for the police to sort this out. I won't say anything until they arrive.)
