YES OR YES.
The giggling child's voice in the night air threw down a multiple-choice question, but did not give a negative option.
The humming is haunting and creepy:
"Welcome to the dormitory survival game ~ happy dormitory life begins!"
"Ah, my phone!"
Guo Guo let out a scream, and with the sound of the phone being dropped, she tremblingly pointed down, only to see that the screen of the phone was crowded with distorted dialog boxes, and the bright red text was exactly the same as the nursery rhyme humming content.
Tang Xinjue took out her mobile phone - the same thing.
She reacted immediately, first pulled Guo Guo up from the ground, then picked up the nearest chair and pushed it against the French window leading to the balcony to prevent the eyeball monster from appearing suddenly again.
Then she picked up another chair and walked to the bedroom door.
"You you you you where are you going?"
Guo Guo had completely entered a paralyzed state of fear, curled up in front of the table and dared not do anything, and became very nervous when he saw Tang Xinjue walking away.
Tang Xinjue said, "Wan Qing is still outside."
If the entire dormitory area is without power, the public bathroom is no exception.
Imagine a sudden power outage in the middle of taking a bath in the bathroom, and the sound of horror nursery rhymes outside, it will definitely be more impacted than people in the dormitory.
It seemed to be corresponding to Tang Xinjue's words. As soon as she finished speaking, the humming outside the dormitory suddenly stopped.
The cheerful child's voice sounded again, but this time it was clearer, as if it was right next to everyone's ears:
"The good students have already entered the game, the bad students are still playing outside, the educators can't wait, the test papers have been unpacked—"
"Important reminder: the game is about to start, all students outside the dormitory are requested to return to the dormitory immediately! Educators don't like playful bad children, and will punish them~"
"And when the game officially starts, the students who have not returned to the dormitory will receive the most severe punishment..."
The child's voice stopped abruptly, the humming tune also disappeared, and the environment returned to silence.
educator? test paper? game
Tang Xinjue remembered all the key words he heard in his heart. At this moment, there was a muffled sound, and the two people in the dormitory were shocked and looked up, the dormitory door, which was originally ajar, was closed by itself!
Tang Xinjue took a few steps and stretched out his hand to pull it, but no matter how hard he pressed the doorknob, the dormitory door didn't budge.
It's like... locked from the outside.
Guo Guo's terrified voice came over: "Xinjue, look at your phone!"
On the screen of the mobile phone, the dialog box disappeared at some point, leaving only a bright black countdown.
Time to game start: 240 minutes.
240 minutes is four hours, it is eight o'clock in the evening, and four hours later it will be... zero o'clock.
While thinking about it, Tang Xinjue recalled the information given by the strange child's voice:
They are in the rules of a so-called [dorm survival game], and the game will officially start after four hours, which is zero o'clock. According to Tong Sheng, it seems that only people in the dormitory can enter the game.
So what punishment will be given to those who do not return to the dormitory
Of course, this could just be a big prank, a realistic trick show. But if it's true... Tang Xinjue stared at the door quietly.
While her roommate was crying and howling, she was exceptionally calm. The bedroom door couldn't be opened. She tried to bump it with her knees and chairs, but found that the narrow door of the single room, which was originally not very solid, didn't even tremble a little.
Although her appearance is weak, she knows how strong she is. Under normal conditions, it is impossible for the door frame to not even shake.
If the child's voice is true, it means that the rules of the game do not allow people who are already in the dormitory to go out. I'm afraid the door can only be opened if people from outside come back.
Since the disappearance of the child's voice, the noisy screams and footsteps in the corridor have not stopped. Tang Xinjue gave up going out and chose to lean on the door and shout to the outside:
"Can you hear me? Wan Qing, are you outside?"
After shouting several times in a row, there was a real response from outside the door, and with the footsteps of ding ding ding, the sound of the response also changed from far to near, Tang Xinjue recognized that it was the voice of his roommate.
The door was knocked hard a few times, Zheng Wanqing came back, and her normally energetic voice was a little flustered: "Open the door, open the door!"
"We can't open the door ourselves." Tang Xinjue answered truthfully, but before he could continue, the door in front of him creaked.
The bedroom door opened by itself.
Zheng Wanqing squeezed in, covered in steam, and complained loudly: "This prank is too much, the power was cut off halfway through the shower, and I didn't even have time to get my toiletries back! When I came back, it was pitch black. If I hadn't heard the voice of Xin Jue, I couldn't even find the location of the dormitory."
Tang Xinjue: "Do you really think this is a prank?"
Zheng Wanqing was taken aback, "Why not?"
She fumbled for the mobile phone on her seat aggressively, and wanted to call and complain aggressively: "I don't know what the security guards in the dormitory are doing. Didn't the school review it? Such excessive tricks can also be allowed..."
Zheng Wanqing didn't finish her sentence, except for the eye-catching countdown on the phone, it was also because the phone couldn't be dialed.
The phone has no signal.
Tang Xinjue stretched out his hand to pull the door, and the door in front of him had already closed automatically the moment Zheng Wanqing entered, returning to a state of being completely still.
She sighed: "Can pranks block our mobile phone signal?"
After a few seconds of silence, Zheng Wanqing rushed over to turn on her computer in disbelief, but the notebook, which was clearly fully charged, couldn't be turned on anyway.
Guo Guo said in a trembling voice: "It's useless, I just tried to turn on the desk lamp, but there was no response..."
There is no light source in the dormitory, and the dark environment prolongs the anxiety and fear infinitely. The screams outside the dormitory come and go, but they seem to be separated by a membrane, and they can't be heard clearly.
Zheng Wanqing stopped talking and could only look at Tang Xinjue for help. She knew that Tang Xinjue must be the most calm and rational person at this time, and his analysis was also the most reliable. But there was no light in the dormitory, and it was impossible to find the other party's position.
"..." She stomped her feet irritably, furiously: "You can think whatever you want, anyway, this dorm escape game can't be real!"
After finishing speaking, she groped her way to the balcony and tried to break the window: "Don't we share a balcony with the bedroom next door? Just go out and ask the next door."
Guo Guo's voice cracked: "You are like the cannon fodder in a horror movie. Our Keke is on the sixth floor! Tang Xinjue, hurry up and persuade this idiot!"
What if something happened on the balcony... Guo Guo was terrified, before he got up to stop him, he saw Zheng Wanqing suddenly stop.
In the dark night, the girl turned her head indistinctly and looked at the wall opposite the sink.
"Here... there is a door."
Guo Guo just wanted to talk nonsense about the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony, you can call the door if you want, but realized in no time that what Zheng Wanqing was referring to was definitely not the balcony windows.
A gust of wind blew by, and Tang Xinjue strode over here as if he was not hindered by his sight.
Before coming here, just in case, she pulled out a long, hard object from the shopping bag on the ground. Although she didn't know what it was, at least it could be used for self-defense at critical times.
Coming to the balcony, Tang Xinjue immediately understood the meaning of Zheng Wanqing's words.
Guo Guo also moved over tremblingly, and the three of them stood together, looking at the wall opposite the sink.
In this wall, there is a literal door. With the weak light of the mobile phone, only the outline can be seen. There is nothing special about it.
——However, their dormitory is not an independent bathroom, and this wall has always been empty, and there has never been any door!
The roommate who insisted on atheism was silent, but the roommate who was obsessed with metaphysics was about to cry, "A prank...can you create a door?"
The answer is self-evident.
Tang Xinjue took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Eliminate all the impossible, and the rest, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth."
"I tend to say that the sound is real, the game is real, and the rules are real."
What's more, these scenes had vaguely appeared in her dreams. Tang Xinjue didn't say the latter sentence, the first thing to do now is to calm down and avoid further panic.
She looked at the door that suddenly appeared in front of her. Unlike the balcony window and the bedroom door, this door currently does not make her feel dangerous.
So Tang Xinjue took the two of them who had been fooled to the back, and pushed open the door in front of him with the rectangular tool in his hand.
Under the light of the mobile phone screen, it can be vaguely seen that this is a bathroom, and there is a well-equipped shower area on the left. Zheng Wanqing whispered from behind: "The wall is my toiletries!"
But her washing tools were obviously left in the public bathroom, how could it appear here
After reacting for a few seconds, Tang Xinjue realized: This game gave them a private bathroom
There is such a good thing
The three of them closed the door, retreated to the "safety zone" in the middle of the dormitory, and stood under Tang Xinjue's No. 4 bed, and no one spoke for a while.
Guo and Zheng were too shocked to speak, while Tang Xinjue was frowning and thinking.
The situation is too weird now, and there is very little information available: What is this game? What does the game want them to do? They know nothing.
Facing the fear of the unknown, but trapped in a dark dormitory, waiting passively, this feeling is not pleasant.
Moreover, there was a bad feeling lingering in her heart all the time, Tang Xinjue always felt that she seemed to have forgotten something.
I don't know how long it has passed, Guo Guo, who has been in a state of being frightened half out of his body, managed to calm down a little, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "By the way, Zhang You just told me half an hour ago that she had left the subway station. Just go to school!"
At the same time, Tang Xinjue also remembered something he had forgotten:
Their dormitory is not full now, because the fourth roommate, Zhang You, who was delayed by the flight, has not come back yet!
The other two obviously thought of the same point, Guo Zhi shivered and said incoherently: "That voice said that there will be punishment for not returning to the dormitory, right? Then if, then if Zhang You is also in the dormitory area, does she have to hurry up?" return?"
Tang Xinjue looked out of the balcony window again, the heavy darkness seemed to be a little thicker.
The countdown on the mobile phone has been running for 30 minutes without knowing it, and the minute hand has moved to 8:30, and there is a sudden pause.
At the same moment, the child's voice sounded again without warning: "Dear students, thirty minutes have passed~ Let me see which bad students have not returned to the dormitory~ Hey, there are so many!"
The tone of the clear voice changed, and suddenly became hoarse and sharp: "Educators hate disobedient bad children the most. Punishment and danger will come early. The dormitory is the only safe area... Hehehe, but who can guarantee that it is absolutely safe where?"
"After all," Tong Yin giggled and added: "Only the last surviving classmate can successfully enter the game—"
"Ding, the first rule has been unlocked: please guard your bedroom!"
The sound in the air disappeared again, but this time it didn't last long, and there were even more tragic screams and chaotic footsteps outside the dormitory door:
"Help! Something is chasing me!"
The sixth floor where Tang Xinjue is located belongs to the Department of Finance, and many dormitories are filled with classmates and close friends. She quickly distinguished the familiar voice from the noise.
Holding Tang Xinjue's arm tightly, Guo Guo also whispered, "Is the person who shouted just now Sun Jia from the dormitory next door? She's still outside now, isn't she..." Punishment
Tang Xinjue frowned, and the sound in the corridor quickly disappeared. However, for the people in the dormitory, the silence at this moment was even more eerie.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sudden knock on the door made the tense people in the dormitory almost jump up. Tang Xinjue picked up the roommate whose legs were weak, and asked loudly, "Who is it?"
"it's me."
A familiar female voice sounded outside the door: "I'm Zhang You, I'm back."
It turned out to be roommates.
The other two breathed a sigh of relief, Zheng Wanqing was about to open the door in a hurry, but Tang Xinjue grabbed her wrist.
Zheng Wanqing didn't understand: "There is danger outside, we have to open the door quickly!"
Tang Xinjue didn't let go, and walked to the door of the dormitory by himself: "Zhang You, isn't your flight from Chengdu late? Why did you arrive so early?"
The voice outside the door paused for a second before replying, "I'm going fast, besides, aren't you all worried about me?"
In the darkness, the voice outside the door was soft and gentle, it was indeed Zhang You's voice.
But Zheng Wanqing and Guo Guo inside the door trembled at the same time, and Zheng Wanqing also withdrew her hand to open the door like an electric shock.
——Because they knew that Zhang You's flight was from abroad and had nothing to do with Chengdu, but when Tang Xinjue said this, the voice outside the door did not respond.
Outside the door... is it really Zhang You
