The moment he opened his eyes, the unlucky lawyer An Rao was dragged into an amusement park.
Bad news: There's a penalty for losing the game—the kind where you lose your life.
Goo...
Chapter 29 Labyrinth 11 The next person to be found is me...
"Brother Lin, where are we playing now? Isn't it too quiet?" Tong Chen couldn't help but asked in a voice that couldn't be any quieter.
"I don't know, don't talk!" Qi Lin scolded in a low voice. How could he not feel it? It was too quiet, so quiet that it was abnormal, as if the whole world had turned into nothingness, and sound and time were things that did not exist.
"Brother Lin, do you feel that the light has become dimmer?" After being silent for several seconds, Tong Chen couldn't help but spoke again.
"I said, don't talk."
"If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. Then why are you touching me?!" Tong Chen couldn't stand it. They went through four amusement projects together. Although the man next to him behaved frivolously occasionally, this was the first time he was so direct, not to mention in such a scary game session!
"I didn't..." Before he could finish his words, Qi Lin realized that if he didn't touch her, how could any human being walk into this room with only the two of them in it without opening the door or the window, and touch Tong Chen? Qi Lin looked up tremblingly.
The sudden and shrill screams of a man and a woman in the silent villa resounded throughout the whole house, but the strange thing was that no one heard the sound of the faceless ghost boy walking. He took aim silently like a cat, then approached and finally won with one strike.
This silence and agility form a very strong contrast with his stature. The faceless ghost boy is probably best at playing the role of a ghost in the game of hide-and-seek.
"We've caught three people..." Su Ming hid behind An Rao and trembled, "Are kids nowadays so powerful... The ghost movies really didn't lie to me, as expected, child ghosts are the scariest species..."
"Gudong." Another big bubble emerged from the bottom of the water tank. It took a long time to adjust itself into an absolutely round ball and slowly floated to the surface of the water. The smooth surface of the bubble ball reflected a very strange picture - several acrylic pencils were scattered on the carpet, two human-sized human-shaped kraft paper shells were spread flat on the ground, and a faceless little fat man with a smooth and pale head without facial features was humming a song and writing and drawing on the paper shells.
Soon, the facial features of the two paper-shell figures, which were originally simple drawings, were made up. After the boy lay on the male paper-shell figure's face and painted two round blushes on it to represent rosy cheeks, he finally let out a satisfied "tsk" and looked at his masterpiece with great pride.
"So beautiful!" After saying that, he threw the pen in his hand, picked up the two paper figures and ran downstairs excitedly, humming a song as he ran. The two light paper figures in his hand were painted with the clothes worn by Qi Lin and Tong Chen, and the crudely made stick-drawn features on their faces were frozen at the moment of screaming in fear. A string of black circles drawn with a colored pencil overflowed from the big black eyes of the female paper figure, as if they were tears drawn by a child, silently flowing across the two exaggerated red blushes on her cheeks.
"Good children pay attention to safety and never play with water or smoke, la la la..."
The unpleasant singing was accompanied by the unique thumping footsteps of a child going down the stairs, and the faceless ghost child came down again.
An Rao frowned. Everything after arriving at this villa was a replica of Dongdong's tenth birthday party. At the same time, it was also the biggest ordeal in his memory when he was ten years old. The cake, party decorations, and furnishings in the villa were exactly the same as on his birthday, but without this song. The ballad was the only new element that did not exist at that time.
So what does it mean when this song is hummed?
From the beginning till now, I heard three screams from different people, which means three people have died. What is the rule of death? And I didn't even hear the chaos of the players struggling to survive. Everything returned to calm after a scream. What on earth was this ghost child using to kill people? A child could actually make three adults have no chance to resist.
——This is very consistent with Dongdong’s cruel personality.
An Rao remembered this game of hide-and-seek, which was just like the birthday party he attended at Dongdong. He arrived at a little before five o'clock, and he stood behind the other classmates in the living room on the first floor waiting for Dongdong to come downstairs. When the clock struck five in the afternoon, Dong came downstairs. This bastard first stole a bite of the cake, and then suggested that everyone play hide-and-seek together.
Just like that game, the bad guy Dongdong didn't behave as a "ghost" obediently. Instead, he jumped and counted down and started catching people. Although I can't remember exactly which numbers he jumped, according to today's restoration, it was probably eighteen, five, three and one.
An Rao remembered that because he was thin and small, he was pushed around, and all the good seats were taken. In a panic, he had to squat in the corner of the sofa circle in the main living room, and he could only find a shelf to cover himself.
At that time, Dongdong found three people first, and then found himself.
Yes, according to the order of the game back then, the next person to be found would be me, which means the next person to die would be me.
But why? !
Why are you targeting yourself? Is it because you shook out the picture of the little boy yourself?
And, that song.
A detail that I had unconsciously remembered back then suddenly flashed in my mind, like the thick dark night being split by lightning, instantly illuminating my entire sea of consciousness. Ah, that's it!
