The lounge was quiet, and the bustle just now seemed like an illusion.
After turning his head, Zhan Xiaoming originally wanted to see how other ghosts were looking for people, but when his eyes fell on the figures of the four children around him, he instinctively felt a strong sense of discomfort.
Zhan Xiaoming immediately looked away.
It's a ghost.
I don’t know when it started, but the children around me turned into ghosts.
Although the sun was shining outside, the lounge with its door closed looked particularly eerie.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Zhan Xiaoming feels like he has grown a little taller. His perspective is no longer that of a child as before, and everything seems big to him.
Zhan Xiaoming sensed carefully and found that his own strength seemed to have increased a little, but he didn't know the extent of the increase.
While he was still trying to figure out what this change meant, the four NPCs around him started to communicate.
"Hey, I'll start looking from here, where do you want to start looking?"
The "ghost" on the side asked.
The other three children answered the questions and discussed the matter.
When they finished their conversation and looked at Zhan Xiaoming to ask him some questions, Zhan Xiaoming said nothing and pretended not to see them.
Communicating with ghosts would expose the fact that he could see ghosts. Although the four children in front of him looked the same except that they were a little spooky, how could Zhan Xiaoming dare to take the risk
He was alone, pretending to think about how to play hide-and-seek while looking around.
As he looked, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.
Zhan Xiaoming's head had originally turned to one side, and then suddenly turned it back.
He looked at the bed in shock.
All the children were afraid of being caught by the "ghost", so some hid in the closets, some ran to other rooms, and all their energy was focused on playing hide-and-seek.
In this environment, he actually saw a person lying on the bed... and he looked very familiar!
Isn’t that Jie Fangcheng!
Shit!! What is he doing
Rationally speaking, Zhan Xiaoming didn't want to be too conspicuous so as not to attract the attention of other NPCs around him.
But the moment he saw Jie Fangcheng, he was completely confused and all his rationality collapsed.
At this time, the NPC next to Zhan Xiaoming also discovered that there was a person lying on the bed.
There's no way, it's just too obvious.
"Huh? I found my first civilian!"
The NPC happily came to the bedside and smiled as he reached out to pat Jie Fangcheng.
Just as his hand was about to slap Jie Fangcheng, the already asleep Jie Fangcheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the NPC in front of him.
Zhan Xiaoming quickly opened his mouth to remind him not to speak casually.
After all, it is still unknown whether this ghost is still a ghost and whether it will be able to attack the player because of a conversation.
But his reminder was too late.
Jie Fangcheng squinted his eyes in confusion: "What?"
His confusion did not seem fake, as if he was asking: Why disturb people's sleep for no reason
The NPC who was about to take a photo of him was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "It's hide and seek, I caught you!"
"Oh." Jie Fangcheng closed his eyes and turned over.
Everyone: “…”
oh
oh
The NPC who caught him stood there blankly for a long time, and after a confused look on his face, he tried to push him again.
Jie Fangcheng turned his head helplessly, too lazy to open his eyes fully, and looked at him with one eye half open.
"..." The NPC calmed down and reminded him in a low voice, "You are now the scapegoat, you need to go find some civilians!"
“I’m a wretch.”
"… "
This situation was unheard of by anyone. Several NPCs were about to crash. The four of them looked at each other, then looked at each other again. After a while, they started discussing how to solve the current situation.
This discussion took even longer than their previous discussion about who should look for where.
The four of them discussed for a long time before they came up with a result.
"If he doesn't want to play, that's fine. The ghost with the lowest score will be punished anyway."
Surprisingly, the four ghosts seemed easy to talk to and not very aggressive.
This made Zhan Xiaoming feel a lot more at ease.
He has already seen the difficulty of this hide-and-seek game.
If players become a "ghost" and go looking for civilians, if the "civilian" they find is a real ghost, talking to the ghost will allow the ghost to attack them.
There are currently three ghost children in Zhan Xiaoming's class that he can identify, including his and Jie Fangcheng's ghost deskmate, and a little female ghost who always sits quietly in the corner without saying a word and looks very quiet.
But Zhan Xiaoming had no idea how many naughty kids there were in the class.
Not only that, there are four classes in total with more than a hundred people. Are there any naughty kids in other classes
You need to be very careful when playing hide-and-seek to find someone.
Zhan Xiaoming thought so.
But he was not too panicked. When he was counting against the wall, Zhan Xiaoming had already secretly targeted an NPC.
That was a kid sitting in front of him, very enthusiastic and eager to learn. Zhan Xiaoming secretly touched his wrist and it was warm, so it was obvious that he should be a normal NPC.
The child is a little fatter than normal people, and he looks very cute with his round body. He was hiding here and there just now, and finally he crawled into the closet in the corner.
Zhan Xiaoming didn't plan to arrest many people, as long as they didn't get too low a score and were punished. He only planned to arrest this one and then stop.
The wardrobe is hidden behind a row of bookshelves, blocking out all sunlight.
It was pitch black inside the closet.
Zhan Xiaoming caught a glimpse of someone's skin flashing in the corner of the closet from the corner of his eye. He quickly reached out and grabbed the wrist of the person in the closet.
wrong!
The moment he grabbed the wrist, Zhan Xiaoming immediately sensed something strange.
The NPC he targeted was plump and looked very wealthy.
But at this moment, what he grabbed in his hand was a skinny wrist.
The skin I touched was cold and dry, as if it was a mummy that had been hanging in the air for a long time.
Zhan Xiaoming's hair stood on end. At this moment, a head finally slowly popped out of the closet.
The little girl wearing glasses and looking very quiet was "looking" at him quietly, but her eyes behind the lenses were white, and in the middle of the white eyeball there was a pinhole-sized, densely packed black dot that formed her pupil.
The little girl was wearing the uniform of the Blue Sky Kindergarten and had two pigtails on her head. One of her hands was held by Zhan Xiaoming, and the other hand was holding a doll with its eyes gouged out.
"You're scratching me," she whispered.
.
Let’s go back two minutes.
Among the four players who went to hide, Zhou Yian chose a high place, and the others also had their own hiding places.
In order to prevent other players from being caught and turned into ghosts and then using them to score points, players even hide from others when choosing hiding places.
Liu Feiyao hid in the locker in the second lounge. There were many clothes in the locker, both for adults and children. She was very thin, with the figure of a five or six-year-old, and she blended in perfectly among the clothes.
But unfortunately, when she hid in, she found that there seemed to be a child hiding there.
The five or six-year-old children looked at her innocently, with their lower bodies buried in the pile of clothes. It seemed that they had thought of the same hiding method, and when they saw her hiding in, they made way for her.
Liu Feiyao hesitated for a moment, but time was running out and the locker was indeed quite large, enough to accommodate two children.
She could only nod politely and huddle in another corner.
Soon, the bell rang.
Liu Feiyao crawled into her clothes and listened carefully to the sounds outside.
Just then, she felt the child from before squeeze next to her.
Obviously the locker was big, and there was plenty of room for two kids each to occupy a corner, but they were trying to squeeze in with more and more force.
Through the thick clothes, Liu Feiyao frowned and reminded him in a low voice: "Go to the corner over there and don't squeeze me."
A disappointed "ah" came from outside the clothes.
"Why not?"
This kid...
The bell had just rung, so those "ghosts" wouldn't come so early to catch people.
Thinking of this, Liu Feiyao was still thinking about how to pass the dungeon, while explaining casually: "This closet is very big, it's just right for us to each take one side. If you insist on squeezing next to me, it will be uncomfortable. Why are you squeezing? Besides, the two of us are too big to be targeted, and it's easy to be 'ghosted'..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Liu Feiyao's exposed calf accidentally rubbed against the other person's leg skin.
It was cold, sticky, and as soft and swollen as a corpse fished out of the water.
At this moment, Liu Feiyao suddenly remembered... there was something fishy among these children.
But when she saw the child in the locker room just before she came in, he seemed particularly normal, so Liu Feiyao did not become suspicious.
But now, it was obvious that she had been careless in her haste.
Liu Feiyao's whole body was stiff.
Just then, she felt the ghost in front of her reaching out his hand, trying to tear off the clothes surrounding her.
"Ghost? What's wrong with ghost?"
He was very happy, and his voice was full of joy, as if a snake saw the meat it loved to eat.
Liu Feiyao pinched her arm suddenly.
She felt her legs trembling... But if she didn't do something, she would die here without knowing why!!
He didn't care that there were ghosts outside catching civilians, or that he couldn't speak loudly during the break.
She threw off the clothes she was wearing and covered the child beside her with them, then pushed him away and rolled out of the cupboard.
After leaving the locker, Liu Feiyao couldn't help but look back.
The upper body of the child sitting in the locker was normal, like a cute doll, but the lower body that had been buried in the pile of clothes just now was revealed at this moment.
It was a pair of legs that had been soaked for who knows how long. They were swollen and white, giving the appearance of a giant. Each leg was as thick as his waist. Connected to his normal upper body of a five or six-year-old child, it looked particularly sensory.
He took off the clothes covering his head and looked straight at Liu Feiyao.
"You saw me—"
The kid ghost said happily.
Liu Feiyao didn't dare to look any longer. She quickly left the second lounge, opened the door of the third lounge, and dived in.
Just as she entered the lounge, Liu Feiyao seemed to vaguely hear a strange noise coming from the first lounge.
Then a strange voice said in dissatisfaction: "… What are you doing? Can't we sleep???"
