"The rules of the game "Wooden Man" are very simple. The students participating in the game stand at the starting point, which is here." The female teacher stepped on the red line in the middle of the classroom with her high heels and indicated, "After the game starts, I will stand with my eyes closed. At the end of the classroom, in front of the window, you move as fast as you can to the end while I close my eyes. "
"But be careful, try not to make too much noise during the movement. When I turn around and open my eyes, you must be like wooden people, and you must not make any movements, make any sounds, or make any expressions. You must It's completely still."
"Students who can't do it will be regarded as the game failure, and the other wooden figures will continue to play the game. You can continue to move until I turn my head and close my eyes," the female teacher said, twisting her neck kaka, her body not moving. One hundred and eighty degrees, "As long as one wooden man successfully moves to the finish line, he can get a reminder of tonight's school rules."
Although the twisted neck of the female teacher made people shudder, this last rule gave everyone hope.
This "Wooden Man" game doesn't seem so difficult. From the rules, as long as one person successfully reaches the end, they will pass, and getting the reward means that everyone can know the answer to the taboo.
"I don't know if the students are clear about the rules. Remember, in my sight, no matter what happens, it must be absolutely forbidden."
Chi Nan asked: "Why does the starting point start in the middle of the classroom, not where we are standing now?"
According to conventional thinking, the starting point is often at the entrance, so as to ensure enough game space.
Female teacher: "As long as the classroom is spacious enough, it doesn't matter where you start."
Guo Xian: "The longer the distance, the worse it is for us. It's better to start from the middle."
Everyone thinks so too. This dance studio is about 30 meters long. The starting point is in the middle of the classroom, which means that it is only half the distance to the end point, that is, only about 15 meters. It is a favorable condition for the "Wooden Man", so they did not think deeply. .
"If there is no problem, the students can start to group themselves. Remember, there are at least four students in each group, and the end time of each game is determined according to the failure time of the last student."
Guo Xian thought for a while and said, "That is to say, twelve of us can be divided into three groups at most to play the game."
"Is it also allowed for twelve people to go to the rules together?" one of the new boys asked.
Guo Xian said: "Although the rules allow it, the fewer groups are, the worse it is for us."
"Why? The success or failure of the game only depends on the final result of the individual, not the group elimination system, right? There should be no difference in how many people are in a group?"
As an old sleepwalker, Guo Xian is more sensitive than ordinary people in this regard: "Of course there are differences, the more groups we have, the more opportunities we have for trial and error, and the more time we can prepare. If you make a plan for the special situation, the winning rate will also be greatly improved.”
"Ah... Why didn't I expect that there was a special situation..." The classmate suddenly realized, "In this way, we have two chances of trial and error. If the first two groups fail, the last group of students will be more stressed."
Inspired by Guo Xian, everyone was quickly divided into three groups based on their experience and the performance of the previous two days.
The four members of the finale group are Chi Nan, Tang Yu, Guo Xian and his roommate Jiang Liang.
The first group to play the game were Liang Han and Shu Yanfan of 204 and Jiang Boming and Song Ye of 208. The four of them were pure newcomers. When they stood at the starting point pulled out by the red rope in the middle of the classroom, they couldn't help but feel uneasy. Look down.
The female teacher stepped on high heels 'dong dong dong' and walked to the window at the end of the classroom and stood still: "When the game starts, you need to recite a password in unison - no walking, no laughing, no talking, no moving, we are all wooden people, read After that, the game officially starts."
This password is basically clear to anyone who has played the "Wooden Man" game. Standing beside Chi Nan, Tang Yu whispered, "Why do you read it in reverse? Did you make a mistake?"
But he didn't take it too seriously, and quickly focused his attention on the four sleepwalkers on the red line at the starting point.
"Don't walk, don't laugh, don't talk, don't move, we're all wooden people—"
The voices of the four game participants fell, and the lights around the classroom went out in an instant. The four people standing at the starting point seemed to be startled and looked around uneasy. With the only light source in the darkness, the figure of the female teacher facing the window was elongated. She hugged her arms and turned her back to the player, with a leisurely posture as if she was enjoying the snow outside the window.
Humans are phototactic creatures, and they will unconsciously move towards bright places.
Just as Song Ye tentatively took a step, there was a sudden 'pop' sound from the ceiling directly above them. Following the sound, a beam of white light fell on the four of them, Liang Han couldn't hold back the low 'ah' sounded.
"What, what's going on..." Liang Han asked with a trembling voice.
"Shh, don't speak loudly, it should be a game effect, deliberately scaring us."
The spotlight on them gave them the illusion of standing on the stage. Under the pale light, the players' every move was clearly visible, and they were destined to become the focus of all eyes.
There seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at them hidden in the darkness, and as "wooden men", they had to perform under the spotlight according to the rules, like puppets with their hands and feet tied.
Everyone breathed lightly, but the heart couldn't control the 'dong dong dong' violently hitting the chest, and their throats became dry and it was difficult to breathe.
The four newcomers participating in the game, including the remaining eight bystanders, looked at the female teacher at the end of the classroom for a moment. She maintained her posture like a statue, giving the illusion that she would not turn her head to monitor.
So the four cautiously moved forward two steps.
Just as Shu Yanfan was about to take the third step, suddenly a pair of hands stood in front of her. She was so frightened that she shrank her footsteps and stiffened in place. It was only moments later that she realized that it was Jiang Boming's hand. As soon as she raised her eyelids, she saw that the female teacher's neck began to creak. Squeak spun in their direction, Shu Yanfan secretly relieved, if Jiang Boming stopped her in time, she would be the first one out.
But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the female teacher who was standing under the window teleported to where they were standing, and fixedly faced Shu Yanfan. Under the light, large patches of bright red gums and sharp-toothed teeth were exposed, and a hideous smile appeared at the four "Wooden Men" who were standing still.
"Ah!" Shu Yanfan and Jiang Boming were caught off guard and screamed in fright. Although Song Ye managed to restrain himself from screaming, his body took a step back in a conditioned reflex. The remaining Liang Han did not scream or move. , but after being stunned for half a second, he straightened up and fell backwards, but he was so frightened by the sudden blood-red grin that he turned his back.
The female teacher put away her smile with satisfaction: "Unfortunately, the four students in the first group have already failed the game, and I hope that the remaining students will perform better."
Although I didn't play in person, the few people who had been standing next to me were also frightened with white hairs on their backs. It was creepy enough to look at it from such a distance. don't stop calling...
Guo Xian narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems to be a little more difficult than expected, and there will be all kinds of shocks and disturbances on the way to the finish line."
Tong Yu was unmoved, looking eager to try: "Look at me, I just happen to have good motor nerves, and I'm not afraid of these things."
Soon, the four people in the second group were already standing on the red line of the starting point. They were Donnie Yen and Tao Le from 206 and Tong Yu and Guo Yaoyao from 207.
"The rules haven't changed. Students can start reading the password when they're ready." The female teacher stood back under the window at the end of the classroom and turned her back with her arms folded as before.
Because of the experience in the first round, everyone was very calm when the spotlight came down, but even though two of the classmates were psychologically prepared, when the female teacher suddenly appeared to scare them, they were still caught off guard. A classmate saw in the mirror a dark shadow that devoured people behind him when he was moving halfway, and was so frightened that he couldn't ignore the rules and yelled.
Soon, only Tong Yu, who was still as calm as ever, was left on the field.
"Before I was thinking, what is the purpose of the mirrors on the two walls, it turned out to be used to interfere with the players." Guo Xian said.
Chi Nan looked at the out-of-sync pictures in the mirror: "The pictures in the mirror should be virtual projections. As long as they are left alone, they will not cause us any harm."
Guo Xian glanced at Chi Nan, who was expressionless, and smiled bitterly: "It's true, but in a situation of extreme tension, when you suddenly see the terrifying picture in the mirror, not many people can control their fear."
As he said that, he turned his eyes to Tong Yu, who was as calm and agile as before, and praised, "This girl has great potential."
Chi Nan looked at the game field where only one of his classmates was left, and then subconsciously glanced at the chaotic clock on the wall, and found that the clock that showed 5:30 before was pointing to 4:10.
His heart sank a little, and it seemed that the clock was not broken, even though the time was terribly wrong.
Tong Yu's movements on the field were brisk and quick. When the female teacher twisted her neck for the third time, she moved as lightly as a swallow to the red line behind the teacher, which symbolized the end point. The sleepwalkers breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone knows the rules of the "Wooden Man" game. The female teacher also emphasized that the player who moves smoothly to the end is free, and can move freely without being restricted by the teacher's sight.
So Tong Yu relaxed his vigilance, and even raised his chin proudly when the female teacher turned her head: "Teacher, I passed the test successfully, please give me tonight's clues according to the rules set earlier."
The female teacher raised her eyebrows slightly and said very clearly: "Unfortunately, this classmate failed in the game, and now I announce the elimination of all members of the second group of "Wooden People". "
When she said this, everyone was stunned.
Tong Yu's eyes widened in disbelief: "How could it fail? Didn't I move after reaching the finish line?"
The female teacher smiled noncommittally and turned her eyes to Chi Nan and the others: "The third group of students, please get ready, a new round of games will be played in five minutes."
Everyone was stunned.
"How can this be played? Tong Yu clearly reached the finish line under the condition of abiding by the rules, but he was unilaterally judged that the game failed without giving a specific explanation. We have no chance of winning at all, right?"
"I now suspect that no matter what the game is, it's a failure, and I'm playing a fart. I can only play luck tonight."
Guo Xian frowned: "This is unreasonable. Although the dream maker in the nightmare world has absolute power, he will not break the rules he made without authorization. There must be something we ignore."
"But the rules of the wooden man are simple two-line words. You cannot make sounds and actions within the sight of the monitor. You must quickly reach the end to gain freedom. Tong Yu has clearly done it..."
Seeing that the third round of the game was about to start in three minutes, everyone who did not infer the reason for the failure was frustrated and nervous.
There is only one last chance left, but the situation has changed suddenly, and they have no clue...
Chi Nan glanced at the clock on the wall again, it was 3:50 now.
Time is running backwards!
In addition to the time, there is also the game start formula that Tang Yu complained about before, which was also read backwards.
Chi Nan turned his eyes to the starting point of the game in the middle of the classroom...
Why start in the middle of the classroom? It is absolutely impossible for the female teacher to be merciful to shorten the distance in order to reduce the difficulty, but the biggest trap of the game.
Chi Nan already had the answer in his heart.
