The Four Corners Game is a very simple game, so it is very easy to use it to kill.
To put it simply, in a house, the more shade the better, draw the curtains and turn off the lights, four people stand in the four corners, with their backs to the wall, not looking at the situation in the middle.
After the game starts, follow the agreed sequence, either counterclockwise or clockwise, from A to B. During this period, you can't make too much movement or talk.
After walking to B's side, A will pat B on the shoulder, and then stay in B's position. And B started to walk forward, still kept quiet, and went to C's position to pat C on the shoulder.
By analogy, when D walks to A's position, theoretically there is no one here. So D will cough when he walks, and then move on, go to the corner where B was originally, which is where A is now, and continue the game.
When no one coughed in the game, but found that the circle was still going on, the fifth person appeared.
Of course, everyone knew that the fifth person who appeared was definitely not a human being.
Jiang Yan had never cared about this kind of nonsense before. It was thanks to a company employee who liked to read ghost stories in the company that he learned about the Four Corners game—he overheard them chatting during a certain break. A movie that was released at the time felt that the setting was a bit interesting, so I deliberately looked for it, but after the end of the game, faced with the brainless plot content and exaggerated acting skills, it quickly became boring.
According to the previous agreement, Jiang Yan walked forward step by step along the dark green light path under his feet, silently, without obstacles, even his shadow did not stay on this road that did not reflect light at all.
This is not right.
Jiang Yan realized later that the hot spring water that had submerged the stone bench was gone, and his bare feet, without shoes and socks, were not covered by the warm spring water, and were directly exposed to the cold air.
But fortunately, although the humidity in the air made him uneasy, his body was still warm in just his swimsuit. Jiang Yan reckoned it should be because of the little wine he drank just now, but he didn't know how long this protection would last.
The progress bar of the hot spring in front of him started to move again, at the same speed as before. He estimated that in about 7 minutes, he would be able to go to the end and complete this small task of "enjoying the hot spring drunk". At that time, if the ghosts are still not drawn out, they should also be able to step out of the barrier outside the hot spring and leave here by satisfying the first victory condition.
I hope that I can persist until then, and I hope that several other people can think of the shortcut of delaying time.
While thinking about it, Jiang Yan walked forward slowly, he didn't dare to really stop, or leave this ghostly green path that seemed to lead to hell.
It was too dark to see anything, and he didn't know what else was around him. There is no way, without the refraction of light, the human vision is only the size of the pupil. His vision enhanced by fortune cookies is not strong enough to break through his own limit.
Can only take one step at a time, Jiang Yan moved slowly, walking towards Mo Xiaoyao's side.
Mo Xiaoyao just stood in the corner without moving, very calm, she didn't feel scared, but fell into a strange excitement.
It was an indescribable feeling. The boundless darkness made her close her eyes, and her other senses became sharper instantly. She could distinguish the slight sulfur smell in the air, as well as the smell coming from the cave wall. Moist smell.
She could hear Jiang Yan's approaching footsteps behind her, and she could also hear the sound of water drops falling on the wet rock wall. What's more, she doubted that she could even distinguish the breathing of the person standing in the corner.
And that slight "click" sound that suddenly sounded.
Of course, all this may just be her illusion.
Mo Xiaoyao didn't know why this happened, she couldn't even think well, after Jiang Yan patted her warm hand on her shoulder, she was even more startled as if something even controlled her body.
Obviously, she didn't want to go so fast.
"Patter."
"Patter."
Mo Xiaoyao felt that something was wrong when his bare feet touched the water stains on the dark green stone bench. He obviously didn't hear a similar sound when Jiang Yan walked over just now.
"Patter."
"Patter."
Although she didn't want to walk so fast, she could still feel the touch under her feet. At first, it was wet, as if she was stepping on water. But after walking about 7 or 8 steps, the wet water suddenly disappeared, and the ground became cold and hard, making it very uncomfortable to step on.
After walking about the same number of steps, Mo Xiaoyao felt her arm lifted up and rested on a figure she hadn't seen. The touch in her palm told her that it should be Leyin's shoulder.
Afterwards, Mo Xiaoyao felt her body relax, as if something followed her slap just now, and moved there. She felt her body was her own again, but the sensitivity of her five senses was still the same as before.
The people in front had already left the corner, but there was no "click, click, click" in the dark space. Is she the only one who walks like that, or is she the only one who can hear it? Mo Xiaoyao didn't know, and he couldn't ask, because in the Four Corners game, you can't talk casually.
Without sound, he naturally lost his judgment. Mo Xiaoyao could only strain his ears, trying to find the faint breath.
After an unknown amount of time, Mo Xiaoyao finally heard the long-awaited coughing sound after the progress bar of the hot spring in front of him moved forward a little. At the same time, there were three heavy gasps.
The other three should have breathed a sigh of relief, at least the first round passed without incident.
Qiu Dan, or Meng Danqiu, felt that something was wrong when he walked to the corner just now. Don't look at this as a cave, but it is still in a room with a constant temperature. It shouldn't be as cold as it is now.
No, or it would be more appropriate to say that it is cold.
She felt trembling all over, got goosebumps all over her body, and her hairs had already stood up, as if she had sensed some danger, her whole body was on alert, not daring to relax at all.
She regretted it now, she shouldn't have come in rashly when she saw that there were people in this pool, but she also heard just now that people died in several hot spring pools, how could she dare to rush into a pool with no one in it.
Meng Danqiu knew that his mind was not very good, and he had never really been able to go out of the escape room. The few times he passed the level by chance, he still walked out holding the thigh of his brother with a high IQ.
Her elder brother has a good personality, good looks, good studies, and is good in everything. He is a child from someone else's family in the neighborhood, and he is also the greatest pride of his parents. I don't know if they are brothers and sisters from the same mother. It's just that much worse.
But Meng Danqiu has never felt inferior because of this. She knows that she also has her own advantages. After her parents and friends put more attention and praise on her brother who is both good in character and learning, she is still very optimistic.
Don't be jealous, don't feel inferior, try your best to live happily every day. It is like a weed by the roadside, although it is unknown, it grows tenaciously in the sunshine and rain.
Just like after the earth suddenly exploded, Meng Danqiu also had a period of confusion, but after surviving the pain of being separated from her family, she continued to work hard to live, taking every day seriously as before.
She didn't believe that her parents and elder brother died just like that, especially her elder brother, he was so smart and capable that even someone like herself could find a chance to board the boat, so he must be fine.
Originally, she was disappointed that her family members were not found on the ship, but after Su Wanfu announced something recently, Meng Danqiu believed that her family members must be living on another ship. So she must be alive, live to the sightseeing place, so that she can go to other ships to look for it.
While thinking wildly, Meng Danqiu felt someone patting him, and hurriedly stopped his thoughts and walked forward. She had played this game with her roommates in her college dormitory, and she knew that the last person in each round was the most likely to capture dirty things.
But in the first round just now, she walked around a corner by herself, coughed, and then patted the girl who had been directing. This means that this round, she will directly photograph people, so she doesn't have to worry about photographing things that should not be photographed in the corner.
However, when she patted the shoulder of the little girl in front of her, she was suddenly grabbed by the wrist tightly and couldn't move.
"Who are you!" A cold voice came from the person in front.
"I'm Qiu Dan!" Meng Danqiu's mind suddenly cleared up. She was photographed just now, but she didn't hear the cough that she should have.
So, who photographed her
In an instant, Meng Danqiu was covered with white sweat.
"Don't move yet, the protagonist of the game has already appeared." Jiang Yan's voice was cold, and his hand was still clasped on Meng Danqiu's wrist. Even though the other party was not struggling, he did not relax.
They still can't see anything now, the situation is very unfavorable to their side, Mo Xiaoyao glanced at the progress bar in his field of vision, there is still one piece left, and it will take about 2 minutes.
Just hold on to it for 2 minutes and don't let that thing snap into action.
Jiang Yan thought the same way, despite his calm appearance, he was actually in trouble in his heart, even if he found the ghost, so what? He has neither spiritual weapons nor Taoist spells, so he has nothing to do with the other party.
Just when he was about to say something to hint that the other three would also delay for a while, an emotionless system voice suddenly came in.
"Phase 1: Find the fifth person, completed."
As the voice fell, palace lanterns floating in mid-air suddenly lit up one by one on both sides of the dark green stone bench. Different patterns are drawn on the paper used to paste the lamps. If you look closely, you can find that they are not flowers, birds, fish, insects or natural scenery, but ghost masks with strange shapes.
This light is not like the dark green road before, it will be swallowed by light, with their illumination, at least the players can see the surrounding scenery. And above everyone's head, it seems that there are spotlights shining on their heads, allowing them to appear in front of other players in all directions without blind spots.
"Task 2 in the opening stage: Who is he?"
"Please find the outliers among you before the countdown ends."
"Before the end of this phase of the task, the progress of the hot spring will be suspended until there is a result or the countdown ends."
