Chapter 4: Hide and Seek
According to the order of drawing lots, the first person to be a ghost is Mu Xu, the tallest boy among the six of them.
He Yuan brought Mu Xu to the mahogany table, asked him to face the curtain with his back, and began to count down to 60.
They collectively turned off their flashlights, and the entire auditorium instantly darkened. They lifted the red curtain, jumped off the stage, and began to hide around.
The auditorium was so empty that you could hear the echo of Mu Xu counting.
"15"
"14"
……
Shen Nanzhi was pulled and hid under the wooden stage. She quickly discovered that something was wrong, and there was more than one voice.
"10" "10" "10"...
In the darkness, countless mouths opened and counted down, including men and women. The voices kept swirling, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air. Along with the countdown, there was the sound of water seeping from the wooden boards.
Tick-tock-tick-tick against her back.
Shen Nanzhi thought of the floor of the step seat and realized that the water flowing down couldn't be water.
"8"
"7"
The sound actually started to be mixed with the sound of electricity...
!
Liu Yu, the boy with the square face, felt something swimming in his blood seemed to burst through the skin immediately.
No...could it be because...he shouldn't have lifted up the man's did he do it at that time? He couldn't explain clearly, it seemed like it was instinctive.
He hid under the sofa in the lounge, trembling all over after the pain, and heard the countdown ringing in his ’s so weird. Even though we are no longer close to the stage, the sonic distance seems to have not changed.
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Have you hidden it? Tell me if you have hidden it!"
Shen Nanzhi:......
His steps were heavy, as if he were wearing a pair of fifty-kilogram shoes. He swayed and lifted the red curtain, and a pair of feet appeared in front of Shen Nanzhi. There was only a wooden stage between them.
The lights on the stage came from nowhere. Mu Xu opened the curtain. The light allowed Shen Nanzhi to see his shoes more clearly. The uppers were covered with blood and some yellow and white things, which made people feel sick to their stomachs.
He suddenly bent over slowly.
Shen Nanzhi immediately held her breath, feeling the "ghost" in front of her, and her body got lower and lower.
She was afraid that in the next second, a bloody face would come face to face with hers. After all, this was not eye exercise. She could live as long as she didn't open her eyes.
bang bang bang-
His neck was almost in front of Shen Nanzhi, his whole body folded abnormally, and he knocked on the wooden board.
In the darkness, Shen Nanzhi felt a pair of eyes staring at her. She heard a regretful sigh. This sigh was like playing a camp game and feeling deeply disappointed that the same camp could not deceive others.
Mu Chen's vocal cords seemed to be stuck with a piece of rusty iron, which was extremely rough and harsh.
"Why is there still water leaking here? I have to find a way to repair it later. If Jiang Xinyi knows about it, she will be unhappy again."
Then, the feet moved farther and farther away.
There are many costumes hanging on the floor-standing clothes racks in the preparation room. Lu Yinyin hid behind a screen. The screen and the protruding wardrobe formed a seemingly safe triangle.
All the while she heard footsteps and the mind was dizzy, and I suddenly remembered the reminder in the mission - don't conflict with didn't know if she had offended Jiang Xinyi.
But so what if you offend someone, NPC can't kill someone long as she follows the rules.
"10" "10"... the countdown kept stuck at 10. She wanted to go out and see what Mu Xu was doing and why he kept counting only 10.
The door was pushed open, and the faint light made things in the house clear.
Footsteps wandered around the house, and after wandering a few times, the door was closed.
Lu Yinyin thought in her mind whether the five minutes had almost passed and whether she had successfully hid immediately.
tick-
A drop of water fell from the ceiling and landed on Lu Yinyin's face. She wiped it with her hand and put it to the tip of her nose to smell it. It was blood.
"Hehehe...you are here, I found you..."
Her heart suddenly rose to her throat, the room suddenly became bright, and countless blood drops fell on her face, and her fair face was quickly stained with color.
Lu Yinyin realized it. There was panic on her face, and she looked at the ceiling with the last trace of luck. On the ceiling, there was Mu Xu with weird limbs holding on to the wall. He had no head, and his head was stuck to his belly. Countless blood flowed from the side. The knife fell off the broken neck.
There was a weird smile on his lips. "Found it... found it... my head is here."
"what!"
The shrill cry of fear was like that of a dying prey.
……
Five minutes later, Shen Nanzhi climbed out from under the stage first, pulled Shen Yuci, stood up and dusted him off.
The camera on the stage suddenly turned around, and the hissing sound of electricity made Shen Nanzhi's eyebrows jump. He stretched out his hand to push Shen Yuci back to the floor, and he immediately burrowed back like a loach.
The cameras in the lounge and preparation room were also spinning wildly. After a while, the current disappeared.
After a while, Shen Nanzhi heard some scattered footsteps.
"What about them?"
It's Jiang Xinyi.
Shen Nanzhi climbed out again, and then pulled out Shen Yuci. Everyone had gathered on the stage.
"It's so boring, there aren't many people." Jiang Xinyi roughly counted the number of people, with a bored look on her face.
Shen Nanzhi retorted silently in her heart, at least there was one more person - Wen Fengnian who had already disguised himself as someone else.
"How about we talk about that campus legend and share our opinions?"
"Okay, classmate He Yuan." Jiang Xinyi supported.
[Are they in the cue process? ] No one had any objections, it was extremely He Yuan's guidance, they walked towards the seats in front of the stage together.
"It's over, I lost my note." The girl with two ponytails who had screamed while looking at the painting had an anxious look on her face.
"Lin Luo, why are you so careless? Forget it, just throw it away. Just don't let the NPC pick it up."
Shen Nanzhi pinched the piece of paper she just picked up on the stage, with mixed emotions. These people are so reckless, can they pass the game?
"What's wrong?" Shen Yuci lowered his head slightly and asked.
"Picked up a note."
Maybe the Shen Yuci in front of her was not the younger brother she grew up with, but Shen Nanzhi had an inexplicable trust in him.
"...Well, I'll try to avoid them for a while."
"Ok, I know."
"Don't go to the bathroom alone, it's dangerous there."
The student code states that the toilet is a safe she had been afraid of that place in the teaching building before, and when she heard Shen Yuci's words, she tended to agree.
Right in front of the stage, a group of people sat and stood together in two rows.
