Chapter 2 Look Behind You
Rule Three: Absolute Obedience.
Her tone suddenly became more forceful, and an invisible pressure spread out, making many people feel breathless.
"Flight attendants are the maintainers of flight order."
"You must obey all their instructions immediately and unconditionally."
"Instructions may be given in any form, including broadcasts, direct notifications, or notes placed on your dining table."
"Hesitation, questioning, or resistance... can all lead to serious consequences."
………………
Rule Four: Limited Convenience.
She pointed to two unusually heavy-looking doors at the far end of the cabin. "The lavatories are located at the front and rear ends of the cabin. Only one person is allowed to use them at a time."
"A green door lock indicator light means no one is present; red means do not disturb."
"Your usage time must not exceed 3 minutes."
"Those who exceed the time limit, we cannot guarantee your return."
She added, her voice carrying a strange, playful tone.
"Please note that all text on the mirrors in the restrooms is not an official notice from this flight and should be ignored."
This rule left many people looking confused and fearful.
........................
Rule Five: [Keep it clean and tidy]
Her gaze swept over everyone's seats.
Please keep your seating area tidy.
"If any items that do not belong to you, especially red items, appear in your area, do not touch them. Immediately use the call button to inform the flight attendant so that she can handle the situation."
Many people subconsciously looked at the empty seats at their feet and next to them.
........................
Rule Six: [The View from the Window]
She tilted her head slightly, presenting her perfect profile to the passengers, her eyes seemingly glancing at the endless darkness.
"During the flight, you may see a variety of views outside the window."
"Please remember, you are at an altitude of 10,000 meters."
"Whatever you see, please do not stare out the window for too long, especially when there are non-cloudy objects outside the window."
"If you feel something is watching you from outside the window, gently pull down the sunshade until the feeling disappears."
Several people immediately pulled down the sunshades in a panic, not daring to look out the window again.
........................
Rule Seven: [Regarding Sleep]
"The cabin lights going out signifies the start of sleep time. You must wear an eye mask to sleep."
She pointed to the pocket in front of the seat, "During this time, you may hear footsteps, whispers, or chewing sounds."
"Please keep your breathing steady and pretend to fall asleep."
"No matter what you feel, do not remove the blindfold to check until the lights come back on."
After reading the aloud, she bowed slightly, her movements as precise as a machine.
Have a pleasant journey.
That chilling blessing, like an invitation from the Grim Reaper, made the temperature in the entire cabin drop several degrees.
She straightened up and looked around the room again. Her eyes were still like ice-cold glass, devoid of any warmth.
As his gaze swept over Lin Feng, his heart suddenly skipped a beat—
Whether it was a trick of the eye or not, Lin Feng felt that the cold gaze paused for a very brief moment, as if it had been tripped up by something extremely subtle, before quickly returning to its previous indifference.
Could it be that the eerie aura is starting to take effect?
Then, the flight attendant turned around gracefully, her heels tapping softly on the aisle carpet, making a rhythmic knocking sound.
Dead silence.
Absolute silence enveloped the cabin, with only suppressed breathing and the frantic pounding of hearts, almost bursting out of the chest.
Lin Feng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, only then realizing that his clenched fists were already soaked with cold sweat.
The seven rules, like seven cold, venomous snakes, coiled in his mind, each one gleaming with deadly intent beneath its scales.
How to win her over?
An S-level mystery?
A mysterious flight attendant who controls the rules and views humans as ants?
Lin Feng...
A programmer accustomed to working with code and logic, someone who blushes easily when talking to girls...
For the first time, I felt an unprecedented...utter confusion.
........................
Soon, human beings' instincts of social interaction and survival instincts began to drive them to start communicating.
Perhaps it was the built-in translation function of the strange rules, but despite the people in the cabin speaking in different languages, they were able to understand each other.
"Did you all hear that rule just now?" A bespectacled, somewhat frail-looking young white man asked, his voice trembling. "You have to finish it... no matter what it is... God, I can't even imagine what it is..."
"The key is obedience!" A burly, athlete-like Black woman next to him whispered.
"The third rule: absolute obedience! This is the most crucial, and also the most ambiguous! Heaven knows what orders those flight attendants might give!"
"The danger isn't just the rules themselves..." A veteran who had survived several strange tales looked around warily with a gloomy face.
"Many instances are 'contaminated'...mentally or physically."
"Touching things you shouldn't touch, seeing things you shouldn't see, or even...hearing sounds you shouldn't hear, can lead to being labeled, or...assimilated."
His words made many people instinctively shrink back, as if an invisible virus was floating in the air.
Just then, a sudden and rapid "gurgling" sound interrupted the whispers.
One of the chosen ones from the Conical Hat Kingdom, Nguyen Van Hung, sitting in the back row, suddenly turned ashen-faced, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He clutched his stomach tightly, his body curling up from the intense cramping pain.
"No...no good..." he groaned in pain in his native language, "That bowl of rice noodles this morning...wasn't clean..."
The intense urge to defecate overwhelmed his reason and physical limits like a tsunami.
Rules? Fear? These are temporarily forgotten in the face of humanity's most primal physiological needs.
"Toilet...I need to go to the toilet!" He sprang up from his seat, his back hunched from the pain, and staggered toward the restroom at the back of the cabin.
"Hey! The rules! Time!" A kind-hearted chosen one next to him hurriedly whispered a reminder, "Only three minutes! Don't go over the time limit!"
At that moment, Ruan Wenxiong was oblivious to all of this; he had only one thought in his mind: this had to be resolved immediately!
He practically lunged at the door with the little green figure logo, twisted the handle, slipped inside, and slammed the door shut.
The indicator light on the door instantly changed from green to red.
The small bathroom was brightly lit and glaringly white.
Just as Nguyen Van Hung was about to unzip his pants, his gaze was suddenly drawn to the mirror above the sink.
On that smooth mirror, there was a line of crooked writing in some kind of dark red, viscous liquid that looked like dried blood:
Look behind you.
