Xu Ying looked at him blankly.
Xiao Li continued: "You know the truth, and then what?"
Xu Ying didn't speak, she already understood the meaning of the other party - even if she already knew the truth here, the task was still not completed, and the so-called ghost game has not yet started.
Xu Ying's excited heart was poured into a basin of cold water, which was completely cool. She pushed aside the hair that had been stuck to her cheeks because of the trip, quickly adjusted her attitude, and changed her tone: "You are right. , the truth doesn't mean anything, you are also a smart person, we can work together. In order to show sincerity, I can tell you the truth I know first."
Next, she shared her speculation about the orphanage, which was exactly what Xiao Li thought.
The orphanage in the daytime is what it used to be, a trace of extinction in the years, but at night, it is real.
Zhu Fei sponsored the orphanage, but secretly used it to do some illegal activities. They took the orphans they liked to the psychological counseling room to check on them, and secretly did experiments. If there were good-looking or suitable matches, they would use it to "adopt up." "In the name of "take them out of the orphanage and send them to the mansions of the rich, or to the hospital.
The materials in the psychological counseling room, marked with a triangle mark, are suitable for matching, and will be taken to the corresponding black market for processing after being discharged from the hospital.
Under Zhu Fei's long-term manipulation, an industrial chain has been formed underground in this Fengcheng orphanage, which has brought him huge benefits—until the ghost returns.
Those ghosts made the orphanage into another hell.
"It's just that the ghost game mentioned in Mission 2 has not appeared." Xu Ying looked at Xiao Li, thinking of what the other party had said before, and speculated, "You said before that you were playing Gobang with a ghost. Is it a ghost game? The way to survive is to let us go out on an adventure alone?"
Xiao Li shook his head: "If that counts, I've returned to reality."
"Yes, the task will not be so simple." Xu Ying said disappointedly, "Do you have any thoughts on this?"
Xiao Li raised a finger and spat out a syllable from his lips: "Wait."
The first day they came in, it could be said to be calm, and the next day there was a psychological counseling room. The task could not have dragged them past the fifth day, so there would be a wave of murders tomorrow or the day after.
Xu Ying wanted to say something more, but Xiao Li walked out of the reading room without looking back.
There is no mobile phone signal here, and there is no way to play games. Xiao Li just wants to rest early.
This night is destined to be unsettled. The selected part of the reincarnators died at the hands of ghosts, and the part that escaped was also kidnapped by the monsters in the gray fog. They can safely return to the dormitory and close them. There weren't many doors—even though, they had to endure the ghostly movement in the house after dark.
Many people stayed up all night, and fell asleep until the sun came up and everything returned to normal.
However, they did not expect that on the third day, the so-called ghost game kicked off.
After nightfall on the third day, a voice sounded to everyone: "Today, let's play a game, let's play together."
"Let's play... Hide and seek, okay? I'll count for 300 seconds, you can hide as you like, and I'll find you one by one—if you're caught by me, just stay with me, okay?"
This voice was cold and immature, with an indiscriminate hoarseness. Xiao Li could hear it at once. It sounded a lot like the voice of the boy in the reading room - just a lot more cold.
At that moment, the boundless fog thickened and even drifted into the room, rendering everything in the color of despair and fear.
This is destined to be a time-consuming game, because the ghost has not determined the end time, that is, until the five-day task deadline arrives, which is almost an impossible task.
On the playground of the orphanage, in the boundless fog, there was a small figure standing there. He covered his eyes and counted loudly: "One, two, three..."
The reincarnators in the dormitory were in a commotion. Some fled out in a panic, and some quickly ran to the place they thought of. In the last room on the first floor, the little fat man was opening the wardrobe in a panic, trying to hide himself. go in.
Xiao Li stood aside and watched him for a while, until the fat man completely hid his fertile body in the cabinet, and even his body was stained with the smelly blood on the wall, he did not waver, Xiao Li said: " Are you hiding here?"
The little fat man stretched out his hand to hold the door and said solemnly: "Youdao is the most dangerous place and the safest place. This is the dormitory and the place where the CG of the film is located. It is very conspicuous and very safe! I Last time I stayed where I was and didn't move, but the ghost didn't come back, so it came alive!"
Sun Ang said here and hesitated for a while: "You... do you want to come in too?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the puppet that had been lying in Xiao Li's pocket, with only one head showing, and those terrifying eyes were still surrounding him in his midnight nightmare. The little fat man scolded himself for being so kind, and immediately shook his head sharply: "Forget it, I can't squeeze in here, hehe."
Xiao Li: "..."
He closed the wardrobe door to Sun Ang with a blank expression, and walked out of the dormitory by himself.
hide and seek…
Can anyone really hide and seek with ghosts
Besides, the time is still so long. Humans always have to eat, drink, and sleep. The ghosts of being "ghosts" are almost invincible. In addition, they have to win from "hide and seek". How can we win? How to avoid being caught by ghosts
Dormitory, psychological counseling room, toy room, canteen, reading room...
These places flashed in front of Xiao Li's eyes, but they were crossed out again. He always felt that he had missed something, but he couldn't remember it.
Xiao Li stopped in place and thought for a while, but in the end he didn't find anything, just walked towards the building.
In this situation, Xiao Huangben worked tirelessly: [Hide and seek is not fun, if you want, we can play more fun.]
[Such as bed games.]
[I think so.]
But Xiao Li felt that it was impossible.
The dark-haired child didn't pause for a moment. He walked lightly and walked in the darkness like a dexterous cat.
"Fifty-six, fifty-seven, fifty-eight..."
The number in the mouth of the monster on the playground kept increasing, echoing in the empty yard, an invisible force amplifying its voice and reaching everyone's ears, they were more and more anxious to find their own hiding place. place.
In the boundless panic and fear, some people choose to hide in the toilet cubicle, some people choose to tuck themselves into a small cabinet, and some people choose the corner of the quiet room—
"... two hundred ninety-eight, two hundred ninety-nine, three hundred."
When the count reached three hundred, the little figure on the playground put down his hand covering his eyes, turned around, and dived towards the building.
—
In the utility room of the main building, there is a small box, hidden under a pile of blood-stained clothes, covered with dust.
Inside this box, a person was squeezed.
His hands and feet were curled together, and the whole person arched into an almost impossible arc. Because of this twisted posture, he felt a dull pain in the curved part, like a needle stick, and this pain increased with the passage of time, but he did not dare to come out or move.
Just bear with it, bear with it, hide in a place like this, no matter how good that Specter's eyes are, he will definitely not be found.
The man thought so, breathing slowly, enduring the sting.
With the passage of time, he seemed to hear some movement, small and small, but he couldn't hear it clearly, which made him nervous.
It won't be discovered, it definitely won't, it's just the traces of the wind, or the passing of other people.
However, what he didn't want was that the movement from the friction of the clothes was getting closer and closer to him, as if... entering this room.
But after entering this room, there was no movement.
The person inside the box stayed silent for a while, until he couldn't hold it any longer, and wanted to open the box to get some air, but he just squeezed himself out of the box with great effort, and when he looked up, he saw the picture on the box. Pale face.
It belonged to a child, and it looked at the person who came out of the box: "Caught you, you lost."
The same thing happened in the cafeteria in a split second.
There is a samsara who chooses to hide in the soup bucket in the cooking place behind the cafeteria. The iron bucket is huge, and he is small and thin, so he can hide in perfectly and hide himself without suffering.
At the beginning, he was a little proud of his choice, but soon, he heard a loud noise—
Someone kicked down the iron bucket he was hiding in and hit the ground with a loud bang.
He was lying on the ground, and before he could climb out of the iron bucket, he saw that nightmarish face: "You lost."
—
On the other side, near the toilet on a certain floor, there was a child with pimples on his face, panting desperately, cold sweat falling down his face.
If the muscular man is not dead, then he must have recognized that this is the one who pushed him to the ghost.
The acne man was accompanied by a person who was his partner in action. They had been hiding near the utility room, but after hearing the screams from the utility room, they moved their positions.
But they did not get rid of the footsteps behind them as they wished. The ghost followed them not far or near, playing with them like a cat chasing a mouse.
Can't go on like this-
The pimple man stretched out a hand and grabbed the man beside him, mercilessly pushing him to the ghost behind him in his surprised eyes, and he turned frantically around the corner with that resistance.
Don't blame him, the acne man thought to himself, he was too stupid to even try to form a team in this world.
The ghost grabbed the samsara who was falling towards him: "You lost."
The pimple man took the opportunity to get rid of the ghost, he ran a long way, and then slowly stopped to pant on his knees: "It seems that this method is quite useful, I have to find another dead ghost by my side... "
He tidied up his clothes and walked up the stairs again.
Maybe it was his luck. He saw a strange figure in the corridor in front of the stairs. He rushed up and said to the figure, "You are also looking for a place to hide, right? I know a good place."
That figure was Xiao Li.
Xiao Li turned to one side slightly, avoiding the hand that the other party wanted to reach, and shook his head.
"In this place, we have to help together, this little brother, don't be so cold." The acne man persuaded with a smile.
His smile made Xiao Li feel disgusted for no reason, and he said coldly, "Go away."
"You—" The acne-prone man wanted to say something else, but he heard footsteps that made him tremble again behind him. His eyes were red, and he didn't have time to think about other things.
His speed was too fast, Xiao Li didn't react for a while, but the puppet in his pocket reacted extremely quickly, she stretched out a hand - the small arm that was originally out of the pocket, turned into a Because of the real size of Tan Li, he directly grabbed the acne man's neck and threw him in the direction of the footsteps.
Xiao Li didn't stop, he thoughtfully touched the little head sticking out of the puppet in his pocket, and avoided the ghost from the front.
He didn't want to meet the ghost just yet—until he thought of a solution.
Hide and seek, orphanage.
What has he overlooked
Different from other people who wanted to find a hidden place to hide, Xiao Li walked down the corridor with dignity, passing door after door—when passing by the psychological counseling room, his footsteps paused, his eyes from The closed door was quickly opened.
If Xiao Li was forced to choose a place to hide, he would also choose a counseling room.
For no other reason, this is where those kids get checked out.
If the ghosts raging here are really the ghosts of orphans, then they may be afraid of the beginning of everything, the psychological counseling room.
Just like Xu Ying who chose to hide inside at this time, she was squatting under the chair behind the screen, trying her best to reduce her sense of existence, holding her breath to listen to the slightest movement outside the door.
When the footsteps outside the door stopped, Xu Ying only felt that her internal organs were twisted together.
- But this is not Xiao Li's destination. He wants to go to the toy room to see if the invisible ghost who has been there all along is still there.
He passed the psychological counseling room and continued to walk to the door of the toy room.
Inside, as always, the toys are piled up, but the teddy bear is gone.
Xiao Li tried to call out a few times, but there was no movement.
So to say-
Is it playing the big game of hide and seek
In the game of hide-and-seek, ghosts are ghosts, and the rule is that they cannot be caught by ghosts. People are people, and people need to avoid ghosts. Once caught, they lose. If you want to win, you can only hide successfully...
hide.
Passive hiding is the task 1 of the reincarnators. They must survive for a week. Then there must be a corresponding task 2. The other side of winning, the antonym of hiding - attacking
If people and ghosts are swapped, why can't people be ghosts
Games can be changed.
According to the rules, both parties are equal.
As long as you propose to change the rules before the ghost catches you, let someone be a "ghost", and then catch the ghost - you can win.
Xiao Li curled the corners of her lips and said to herself in the mirror in the toy room, "Next, let's find it."
In an empty building, looking for a ghost is actually not easy, but Xiao Li picked out a screaming chicken from the pile of toys in the toy room.
The screaming chicken is not good, but the noise is first-class.
So on this silent night, Xiao Li rubbed the screaming chicken of "Aah" and walked back along the way he came, leaving deep shadows and doubts on the reincarnators hiding around...
With Screaming Chicken's fifth effort, Xiao Li saw a corner of the shadow in front of him - he threw the Screaming Chicken out of his hand, and immediately said: "Wait a minute, I ask to change roles, I'll be a ghost, you come As a human, I'll catch you."
The movement of the opposite ghost suddenly stagnated in mid-air, and did not grab Xiao Li directly.
At that moment, Xiao Li knew that his speculation was correct.
Xiao Li continued: "I count three, three, two, one—"
Under the astonished gaze of the ghost, Xiao Li closed his eyes and quickly counted, then rushed over and grabbed its wrist: "I caught you."
The black-haired child revealed a smile in his pupils, which was the light belonging to another world, and he said again: "I won."
The ghost whose arm was held by him looked straight at him. It had not been exposed to human body temperature for a long time, and its pupils without the whites of the eyes flashed some pictures.
At that moment, Xiao Li only felt that he was caught in a long memory fragment, and he glimpsed some of the past of this ghost.
It was a very gloomy and introverted little boy, his name was Zhou Ying, and he lived here when he was very young. He always has long pot lids and bangs, and people are also timid, so there are not many friends, and there are only two children who are willing to play with him, one of them is Ni Ke.
Zhou Ying doesn't have a strong sense of existence. Except for the occasional beating by the educators, the adults selectively ignore him. He likes to read books, and he always finds a corner to read books quietly. Therefore, he finds that Got some clues—those who were adopted, never came back.
And one time under the window of the psychological consultation room, he held the book and lowered his head, and heard cries and struggles coming from inside.
At that time, the little girl inside cried and struggled: "Can you let me go, teacher, it hurts so much."
He broke in and was thrown out by Teacher Wang and locked up in confinement. He was cut off from food for three days and almost starved to death.
The news that Zhou Ying had made a big mistake was spread out, and other people alienated him even more, and never took him with him when he played games. Zhou Ying was very young. Although he liked to read books, he also liked to play, but no one played with him. .
Only Ni Ke and another child, Qian San, are still willing to contact him, but their fate is always absurd, and then bad luck comes to Ni Ke.
Zhou Ying tried to tell the other party the truth, but Ni didn't believe it. She happily followed the teacher and there was no news.
Because Zhou Ying knew about this, he was always regarded as an unsafe person by the senior management. During a fire drill, he was locked in the toy room by Teacher Wang under the pretext of being locked in the toy room. No one came to rescue him. Turn into a ghost and return for revenge.
Xiao Huangben appeared in the air again, golden thin threads wrapped around Zhou Ying, and a photo of a little boy appeared on the cover side by side with Tan Li.
[The reincarnation Xiao Li completed the original task 2, the evaluation level was S, the task completion rate was 80%, and he successfully printed the ghost Zhou Ying, and obtained 1000 survival coins.
[The scene is changing.]
[3, 2, 1—]
[I can too.]
[Why don't you find me.]
[A little... jealous.]
Xiao Huangben put away the golden light and the ghost, and disappeared with Xiao Li's figure.
No one knew that in the dean's room of the orphanage, a figure was sitting neatly on the sofa.
The man's gaze passed through the building and directly saw the scene in the building. He played with his slender fingers, and his lips curved upward in a slight arc, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
- This person is still so popular.
It's just one copy, and there's one more.
This is actually a good thing, but—the blood in his bones is cold after all, he not only wants to get him, but also wants to monopolize him.
In a cold room, something is about to come out.
The author has something to say: Tan Li: I have the left pocket and the big boss on the right, so you can do it yourself.
Zhou Ying: ... (suddenly trembling)
