“Still, still.”
Zhang Yuanyuan took out her little yellow talisman.
Fu Anan: "Put it away. It can save your life at a critical moment."
The first time, Zhang Yuanyuan didn't push it back. Instead, she put it in her innermost pocket. "An An, when did you become so fast at running?"
She still remembered that Fu Anan failed the physical examination in the first semester.
"If we don't run fast we'll die."
As she spoke, she picked up the kettle on the table, which still had half a pot of cold water left in it.
Fu Anan didn't mind and poured it out and drank two sips.
Then she looked outside.
Downstairs, on the green plastic playground, the evil spirits disappeared.
What about the door
Fu Anan thought to herself, staring at the thin wooden door motionlessly.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuanyuan moved closer.
Fu Anan: "Did you see the talismans painted on the ceiling and in the corners?"
Zhang Yuanyuan tried to get closer and said, "I see."
Fu Anan: "Until the pattern on it disappears, no matter what happens outside, you are not allowed to open the door."
—
They stayed in there for nearly four hours.
The time was long and difficult.
It was almost half past nine when the power was about to go out and the lights were turned off.
Zhang Yuanyuan hugged her quilt and shamelessly climbed onto Fu Anan's bed, insisting on squeezing in with her.
The space that was originally just right suddenly became narrow.
Fu Anan looked at the person facing her and asked, "Can't you just go back to your bed?"
Zhang Yuanyuan shook her head fiercely, "Xiaopang, I'm scared."
When the monster opened the door, her bed was right in front of him.
Fu Anan: "...Aren't you an elite who has already passed one round?"
"Can a flood be compared to a ghost?" Zhang Yuanyuan wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, but still felt a little cold. "Little Fatty, be good and let me squeeze in."
Seeing how shameless she is, she will definitely not move.
"What are you saying, just call me daddy."
"dad!"
But the sisters’ dad is also their dad.
Fu Anan nodded in satisfaction, "Well, go to sleep. Don't make any noise at night."
"Why?"
"Because you have to be quiet after half past nine."
Fu Anan repeated the rules that Zhang Min had explained on the first day.
"You have to listen to your teacher."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of Zhang Min.
She hasn't shown up since the game of hide-and-seek began.
##
The other side
In the two rooms next door.
When they ran back, their positions were all messed up.
Two companions died in succession, and except for Fu Anan and Zhang Yuanyuan, there were only four people left on their side.
Han Yiner followed Ma Yi closely, along with another male player.
Xiong Kun stayed alone.
After the lights were turned off, the two dormitories tacitly stopped talking.
The room was dark.
The light outside the corridor flickered through the extremely tiny gap under the door.
Ta, da, da!
There were footsteps sounds outside.
They heard a knock on their door—
"Open the door! I, Ding Jiahao, am back."
This is the name of the player who died in the corridor, "Are you still colleagues?"
The "person" outside talked for a while, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he stopped talking.
But the peace didn't last more than two minutes.
Soon someone knocked on the door again.
"Brothers (sisters), please open the door for me." Zhou Fang's voice came from outside the door again.
"Didn't we agree that I'll treat you guys to dinner?"
