In this chapter, we learn that the protagonist, named "xun," is actually hiding in a game laboratory to avoid being seen as a partner in a dance party. He's been playing a weird game called "Salmon," and he needs to find his way back to the dance floor. He needs to know what the heck is going on, so he runs off to find a salmon and buy some gold coins to buy some more gold coins so he can get back to his dance partner. When he finds the salmon, he realizes that the girl he's looking for is actually a member of a group of people called "NPCs" or "players" , and so he apologizes to the girl for being rude to him. The girl, she says, is the one who's cornered, and she begs him to catch her. He finally does, and the girl stabs him in the back, warning him not to stab the murderer again. The protagonist is horrified, and he asks the girl why she's in the game, and why she appeared in it, and what's up with her clothes. He wants to know why he entered the game in the first place, and if he can't tell him the answer, he'll tell the teacher and report him.
