Chapter 34 Maze 16 "Where are my little bunny darlings...

"Crack... crack..." The broken bones rubbed against each other, making a teeth-grinding crackling sound. The three corrugated cardboard figures on the sofa stood up slowly and stiffly, and the black eyes painted by simple sketches revealed expressions of extreme pain.

"Let's find everyone together quickly," the faceless ghost boy jumped up and down, "Once we find everyone, we can eat cake!"

An Rao pulled Su Ming and Shi Yirou, and yelled at Sister Lili who was about to go it alone: ​​"Come with us! You can't be alone, have you forgotten?!"

Shi Yirou was even quicker, she grabbed Sister Lili's wrist and ran away, not giving the cool queen any time to react and break free.

"There are fewer pieces of furniture!" Shi Yirou shouted as she ran, "He's reducing the chances for everyone to hide!"

"Go upstairs, to the second floor!" An Rao shouted, don't get close to the water, don't get close to the smoke, don't be alone, don't let him see your face.

"Fuck!" The elementary school bully Su Ming couldn't help but curse. There was a dressing mirror at the corner of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor. Through the dressing mirror, Su Ming saw three paper men staggering towards everyone, trying to imitate the way humans walk.

"There are more ghosts, and the game is getting more difficult!" An Rao yelled.

"Why can't the door be opened!" Su Ming rushed into the second-floor corridor and turned on each door one by one, only to find that they could not be opened at all. The faceless ghost boy not only removed a lot of furniture, but also locked the doors of many rooms, greatly reducing the places where everyone could hide.

The other five players saw that they couldn't open the door on the second floor, so they ran directly to the third floor. The ghosts were on the first floor, so of course the farther away they were from him, the greater their chances of survival! Soon, the sound of fighting for territory was heard on the third floor.

As Su Ming and Sister Lili banged on the door, An Rao remembered that it started to rain heavily at night on Dongdong's birthday. According to the weirdness of this game, theoretically all places with windows were not safe. But on the second floor, he remembered that he had found a storage room without a door when playing hide-and-seek. It was a semicircular room without windows or doors. Unfortunately, he was kicked out because the storage room was full of other students.

"This way!" An Rao grabbed Su Ming who was still trying to open the door, and went straight to the storage room with three people.

At the same time, an extremely brutal battle broke out in the small attic on the third floor. The small attic could not accommodate five adult men, and Zhang Yong soon instigated a big player to drive the other three players away.

"We can hide here for long. We are the farthest away and the deepest. And let me tell you, children hate dark, small and dirty places like attics. We are absolutely safe here!" Zhang Yong whispered as he led the big guy to run behind the big cabinet in the attic.

It began to rain, and the rain quickly got heavier. The raindrops hit the skylight in the attic with a crackling sound, and the people's already frightened hearts became even more irritated by the sound of the rain.

"Damn, the rain is so damn loud," the big guy complained, "I can hardly hear the damn thing counting."

"It's okay, we're safe. It's okay if we can't hear clearly. It's only ten minutes. Let's just stay here and wait for the game to end." Zhang Yong perfunctorily advised, but his eyes were fixed on the gap in the attic skylight and he said to the big guy beside him, "Brother, let's move the cabinet over here. I think if the cabinet is against the small table, it can cover us better."

There were quite a few cardboard boxes used for storing things in the storage room. An Rao and his companions found the two largest cardboard boxes and threw out all the contents of the boxes.

"We can't be alone, let's hide in a cardboard box each." An Rao put a huge cardboard box on Sister Lili and Shi Yirou's heads, and then found a slightly smaller one to put himself and Su Ming in.

"Damn, boss, your hands are so cold!" Su Ming was shocked when he accidentally touched An Rao's hand.

"Shh, sit tight and don't move anymore, not at all." An Rao warned in a deep voice.

An Rao remembered that the weird nursery rhyme Dongdong sang was the school rules of the primary school. Dongdong was a poor student and he only remembered three lines of the lyrics. Then, are the school rules that he did not sing also the rules of death?

Thinking of the three cardboard men, An Rao didn't dare to take any risks. He could only use his brain to work at full speed to try to recall the elementary school rules from his memory while looking for a hiding place with everyone, and then carefully screen them to see if there were other rules that could be used in this scenario.

"You are not allowed to talk or look around during class." This rule, which is familiar to all primary school students, first comes to mind. If it is put here, it should mean that you cannot move.

"Boom, boom, boom--" A noisy sound of footsteps extended from the third floor to the second floor. The three players who were driven down returned to the second floor in a panic and began to look for a place to hide in a hurry.

"Three." The countdown of the faceless ghost boy echoed exaggeratedly in the villa.

“Bang!”

An Rao looked out from the gap between the cardboard boxes and saw the three people opposite the storage room starting to bang on the door in unison.

"one."

"Bang!" The door was pushed open, and three people swarmed in. That room was Dongdong's father's study. An Rao saw two players barely squeezed under an office desk, while another lone player tiptoed and hid in the gap between two antique shelves.

"Here I come!" The voice of the faceless ghost child rang out in the villa, like a wisp of evil wandering soul, greedily looking for food everywhere, "Whoever finds it can celebrate my birthday with me!"

"Don't you want some cake?"

"Where are all my little bunny darlings?"

"It's time to come out and blow out my birthday candles!"

It was impossible to tell how far away the ghost boy's voice was, as if it was evenly distributed throughout the villa. Under An Rao's instructions, the four people hiding in the storage room did not move, and even their breathing was a little lighter than usual.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier, and the ghost boy's footsteps were hard to distinguish. No one knew where he was now, whether he was still wandering around the first floor or had already reached other floors. What was even more terrible was that there were three cardboard men, and no one knew what sound the cardboard men made when they walked.

An Rao knelt in the cardboard box, darkness surging in from all directions, quickly submerging him. Amid the rustling sound of footsteps, the memories of those little devils bullying him in the past sneaked in through the gaps in the rustling footsteps, and could not be stopped no matter what.

"Why don't they bully others? You must have done something wrong, otherwise why would they only bully you?" The foster mother looked at the injuries on little Anrao's body with cold eyes and said sarcastically, "Don't tell me they are jealous of your good looks and good grades. Such a young kid doesn't know shit!"

"Go, you have to go to the birthday party today, go and apologize to them, and tell them you will never mess with them again, and don't mess with me anymore!"

"Hahahaha, poor bastard, what are you doing here? Are you craving for cake?!"

"Get out of here, you poor bastard, and don't make my house dirty!"

"Lock him up, lock him up! Quick!"

An Rao felt dizzy, his shirt was soaked with cold sweat, and his forehead was covered with sweat. An indescribable anxiety surged from the depths of An Rao's soul. The uncontrollable urge to vomit made him extremely eager to tear off the cardboard box on his body and then rush out. Yes, rush out!

Open the box and you will find the light again. Open it and escape. You will no longer be trapped in the dark! Just open it, open it!

An Rao's hands were getting colder and colder, and his head was splitting with pain. The strong desire to open the cardboard box and rush out and the absolute rationality that he couldn't move were arguing in his mind like the sky was breaking and the earth was collapsing.

"Da." An Rao, who was suffering in extreme pain, suddenly clearly heard the sound of footsteps stopping in front of him.

The subtle sound of footsteps pulled An Rao back from his chaotic thoughts. Su Ming, who was also kneeling beside him, stiffened. The gap in the cardboard box was suddenly covered by a shadow, and An Rao fell completely into the dark world.
