"...Xiao Ming found his parents. He told them that he was living alone in the refrigerator and it was really cold. So he put his parents in the refrigerator as well, and the family lived happily together."
After Zhou Zhou finished telling the first story, he looked down at the child next to him. The child grabbed the edge of the quilt with both hands and hid half of his face under the quilt, leaving only a pair of wide-open golden eyes.
So cute.
It was the first time Zhou Zhou met such a young child. He listened very seriously when he was telling stories. He was so well-behaved and cute.
Why haven't you fallen asleep yet? Isn’t it said that when you tell a bedtime story, children will fall asleep while listening?
Why are this child’s eyes so wide open? They are wider than before the story was told to me.
But thinking about the fact that the story I just told was so short, it was normal for the child not to be able to fall asleep. He will definitely fall asleep after I finish telling the next few stories.
"Okay, let's start the second story now..."
"I think it's okay." The little boy couldn't help but said tremblingly.
He was wrong, he was really wrong, he shouldn't have stayed to listen to the story, he didn't want to listen anymore, he was a little scared.
Zhou Zhou stopped telling the second story, looked at the child and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
The little boy nodded immediately and looked at the other person with his most sincere eyes.
Zhou Zhou also looked back at him with a pair of big eyes. Both of their eyes were very clear and bright, and even their eye shapes were somewhat similar, round and big.
They stared at each other for a long time without moving. Suddenly, Zhou Zhou pointed at the boy's eyes and said, "You are lying. You are obviously not sleepy at all. Your eyes are so wide open." Then he patted the boy gently through the quilt and said, "Don't worry. I will tell you a few more stories and you will definitely fall asleep."
Little boy: “…”
"The second story is about a kid named Xiao Ming. At twelve o'clock in the evening, he suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, so he got out of bed and walked out in slippers. The slippers were big, so when he walked, the ground and the slippers rubbed against each other, making a hissing sound. But gradually, Xiao Ming heard the sound of another pair of slippers rubbing against the ground behind him. The two sounds almost overlapped. He turned around and saw nothing..."
Because all players are teleported to different rooms, and the rooms are soundproof, even if someone is making a loud noise in the room, people outside will not be able to hear it at all.
So now the room is very quiet, with only the sound of Zhou Zhou telling a story. His voice is very nice, with the purity and clarity unique to a teenager. However, when telling such horror stories, the deliberately lowered voices in a silent environment can make people feel creepy.
The little boy was like this. As the other person's story became more and more bizarre, he felt more and more involved. Even if he buried himself in the quilt, he still felt like something was following him from behind, making him feel cold.
He pursed his lips and looked at Zhou Zhou who was telling the story very attentively, his big eyes already filled with tears.
"... Xiao Ming immediately ran back to his bed, but the invisible person followed him very closely. Even after he ran to the bed, he could still feel that the other person was running towards him. He huddled in the quilt, and the person stood at the head of the bed, staring at him, waiting for him to stick his head out from under the quilt..."
Her tearful eyes immediately began to look around, fearing that someone was standing at the head of her bed.
Even though the source of his fear was the stories Zhou Zhou was telling him, the little boy still quietly moved closer to him to gain some sense of security.
"... Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Xiao Ming was very scared, but he knew that he had locked the door and no one could come in. So he secretly opened a crack in the quilt and looked at the door, only to find that the door handle was turning slowly, and then with a click, the door was opened..."
“Boom boom boom.”
When Zhou Zhou said this, there was suddenly the same knock on the door. The little boy shrank suddenly and hugged Zhou Zhou's arm tightly, tears silently flowing down his face.
It doesn’t matter, it’s just a story, and the door is locked. The door will only open when he leaves the room. He is not afraid.
I turned the doorknob slowly and found that the door was locked, and then there was no movement.
The people outside should have left.
The little boy thought so, secretly raised his head from Zhou Zhou's side and looked towards the door.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the door panel flew in.
"Wow~~~" The little boy was frightened. He sobbed and disappeared with a bang.
But his crying could still be heard throughout the room. Not only in Zhou Zhou's room, but all the players could hear the sound of a child crying all around them.
“Wuwuwuwu~”
Many people had just experienced being asked for dolls by strange children and were almost scared to death. At this time, they heard such a strange child crying and were frightened and trembling all over. Some timid ones even curled up in the small children's bed, shivering under the quilt.
But they covered their heads but not their feet, and when they covered their feet, their heads came out again, which looked very funny.
Zhou Zhou looked at the flying door panel, then looked down at the empty bed beside him, blinked his eyes, not understanding why the child was gone, and he heard the child crying.
Why are you crying? Were you crying because you were scared?
The person outside the door walked in. Alvia looked at Zhou Zhou, who was sitting on the small bed covered with a quilt, and found that there was a bulge in the quilt next to him.
"What are you doing?"
As Alvia asked, she walked towards the child's bed, stood in front of the bed, looked at the bulging bag, and then lifted the quilt.
The little boy disappeared so quickly that the quilt still maintained the shape of a human. When the quilt was lifted, there was no one inside, only a fat duck.
"Was there someone under the quilt just now?" Alvia asked.
Zhou Zhou nodded: "Yes, we were about to fall asleep, why did you come in suddenly?"
He even kicked the door and broke it. Looking at the door panel lying on the ground, Zhou Zhou was a little unhappy. He was about to coax the child to sleep, but Al suddenly kicked the door. The sound was so loud that the child was scared and not only ran away, but is still crying.
Not knowing that Elvia was just the last straw that broke the camel's back, Zhou Zhou, who happily sprinkled straw and stones on it, had no awareness at all.
"Who is it? Is it the dungeon NPC?"
Elvia has entered several rooms, which are basically filled with child NPCs, so the people here with Zhou Zhou are most likely also NPCs, but why are they all on the beds?
Zhou Zhou was very sensitive to the word NPC now. When he heard Al's question, he paused and said vaguely, "What NPC? There were only me and a kid here just now, no NPC!"
The first time Zhou Zhou lied, he began to feel guilty and his eyes became evasive.
There was a problem. Elvia could naturally see through this clumsy way of lying at a glance. Was there someone else in the room just now? But who else?
Staring at Zhou Zhou calmly, Zhou Zhou lowered his head in panic, fearing that Al would find out that he had just lied.
"Zhou Zhou, are you okay?" Someone else came in from outside the room. It was Shirley and Heya.
It turned out that Alvia had entered several rooms just now. Although they were separated, they were generally on the first floor, so after Alvia came out of her room, she met Heya and Shirley again.
In the room where Heya was, before the child came out from under the bed, Elvia broke in and gave the doll directly to the child, so Heya was not as panicked as last time in the copy.
Shirley was intact and was about to go out, but then Elvia came in and they went room by room searching for her.
Then the next one is Zhou Zhou's room.
Zhou Zhou looked at Shirley and Heya and shook his head: "I'm fine."
Alvia wanted to ask about what happened in the room just now and why Zhou Zhou lied, but Shirley and Heya came in, so she had to give up.
Now only Coli and Eddie are left in their team, so they decided to find them first.
“Wuwuwuwu~”
"What's going on? Why am I hearing the sound of a child crying all the time?" Hearing this sound in the middle of the night, Shirley couldn't help but touch her arm, feeling a little creepy.
Zhou Zhou looked at Elvia with a condemning look. Elvia didn't see the child, and didn't know that because the story Zhou Zhou told happened to coincide with his actions, the child was scared and cried on the spot. He looked back at Zhou Zhou with a puzzled look on his face.
Eddie had also come out of the room. Seeing several people in the corridor, he waved to them.
Finally, only Keli was left unfinished.
There were many rooms on the first floor, all of which were children's rooms. Several people opened the doors one by one to search, and finally found Keli in one of the rooms.
He lay on the small bed with his eyes closed and a peaceful look on his face.
Shirley: "...I'm familiar with this, let me do it."
She rolled up her sleeves and slapped Keli twice to wake him up. Eddie looked at Shirley in shock and took a step back. Was this such a horrible way to wake him up?
Keli, who was awakened, opened his eyes dazedly. The first thing he did when he saw Shirley was to jump out of the bed and said excitedly, "Shirley, you are finally here."
Shirley was speechless after being grabbed by the shoulders again. Among so many people, only her brother behaved like this. What was he afraid of? She just heard from others that the situations they encountered were similar. A child crawled out from under the bed, and then they handed the doll to the other party and that was it. What was there to be afraid of? Why was he scared fainted again?
Keli ignored the redness and swelling on his face and said with difficulty: "You don't understand. I just finished reading a horror story and was teleported away alone. There was also someone under the bed. I was really scared to death."
Shirley asked in confusion, "When did you read horror stories? How come I didn't know? And why did you read horror novels before playing horror games? Are you bored?"
Thinking that Keli had read a horror story before entering the game, Shirley was speechless. Didn't he have any idea how brave he was? Still dare to read horror stories.
Keli looked at Zhou Zhou and found that he was also looking at him with curiosity, completely unaware that he was the one who led him to read the horror story.
But there was no point in saying this now. He could only bear everything and said regretfully, "I will never watch it again."
From now on, you must never go near Zhou Zhou when he is reading a book out of curiosity. It is really a rip-off.
All six members of their team have been found. Now there is still some time before daytime, so they decided to go together to look for the tree hole that leads to the exit.
"Zhou Zhou, why is your doll still in your hand?" Shirley wanted to ask this question before. Their dolls were given to the children and then taken away by them. Why was Zhou Zhou still holding the fat duck in his hand?
Zhou Zhou shook his head and looked at the duck in his hand: "The kid didn't take the duck with him when he left."
He had already heard when a few people were talking just now that the child came to him to take the duck, but he did not take it away. He could only give it to the child next time they met.
The child's crying stopped when they found Keli. Zhou Zhou was still looking forward to their next meeting, but the child, who had cried like a spray pot, had already decided not to see him again.
So scary, woooo ...
When Zhou Zhou and six other people were looking for clues to the exit on the first floor, they met four people from the Sharp family who were coming down from upstairs. They greeted Zhou Zhou when they saw him.
"Hello, my name is Xia Yan."
As soon as Alvia heard it, she knew that the other party also used an alias, but why did they take the initiative to approach Zhou Zhou? Based on the Sharp family's past practices, they must have a purpose when they approach others actively.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Zhou. They are my friends, Al, Heya, Eddie, Shirley and Keli." Zhou Zhou also greeted them with a smile, but when he greeted them, he also included the group of people behind him.
He really likes meeting new friends, but just now when the other party greeted him, he only looked at him and talked to him, completely ignoring the people behind him.
Although he often doesn't understand the twists and turns of human nature, he is sometimes very perceptive.
Xia Yan was not angry. He immediately greeted the people behind Zhou Zhou, as if he just didn't have time to talk to them.
Elvia glanced at the other party without saying anything, and Heya had the same attitude. Only Shirley, Coli and Eddie responded to each other with a smile.
They were actually a little wary of these people. After all, when they first entered the game, it was these four people who sang in unison and caused the other players to crush their eggs.
Although they didn't do anything, and their behavior was not wrong, they just said a few words, but if you want to get to know these people, you still have to be on guard.
"We are coming down from the fifth floor, and it seems that the other teams haven't finished yet. Why don't our two teams work together to find an exit. This building has many rooms, and it's very messy inside. There will even be irregular teleportations, so working together to find the exit will be faster." Xia Yan said.
Zhou Zhou turned to look at his teammates. Shirley and the others knew that they were right. This place was really too big. If they were alone, three days would not be enough. Moreover, the tree hole would definitely not be in a conspicuous location. Perhaps it would still require some clues to open it. Adding a few more people would be like having help.
Heya would agree as long as Zhou Zhou agreed.
Although Elvia didn't want to cooperate with the Sharp family, rejecting them now was not a good option. After all, they were also narrow-minded and might even create obstacles after being rejected. So, she finally agreed.
The two teams, a total of ten people, were searching together on the first floor. They had also discussed that they would join forces with the remaining players to search for an exit during the day.
Zhou Zhou searched carefully on the first floor, holding the fat duck in one hand, and would straighten the toy that was lying on its side if he saw one.
Next to him was Xia Yan. Although they were searching in different areas, Xia Yan eventually found Zhou Zhou.
"I see you are about the same age as me. How old are you this year?" Xia Yan asked while chatting while searching.
"I am twenty."
Zhou Zhou had always been nineteen years old. Ever since he learned from Al that one could only fall in love when he was twenty years old, he aged one year older.
"What a coincidence, we are the same age." Xia Yan said with a smile.
She is also twenty years old. Zhou Zhou suddenly remembered something. He looked around and found that Al was not nearby. Then he lowered his voice and asked Xia Yan: "Can I ask you a question?"
Xia Yan was somewhat puzzled by Zhou Zhou's furtive behavior, but he still said, "Of course."
"Nowadays, can people only fall in love when they are 20 years old?"
Xia Yan:?
Xia Yan was very confused as to why the other party asked such a question. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out the purpose of asking this question.
"There is no such thing. According to the Empire's marriage law, you can get married at the age of 18, and there are no major restrictions on dating. So can I understand why you are asking this question?"
There is no limit, as long as you are 18 years old!
Al was lying to him.
He said unhappily: "Someone lied to me and said that I can only fall in love when I am 20 years old, huh!"
Xia Yan looked at the other person who looked like a child and couldn't help but smile: "Could it be your family? Nowadays, many noble families have strict family education and some restrict the time for their children's marriage."
Zhou Zhou shook his head: "Not family, but friends."
The other party did not admit that he was a noble, but he did not deny it either. It was just that it was difficult to judge.
"By the way, Zhou Zhou, which school are you in now?" Twenty years old is the right age to go to college. If we can find out the other person's school, it will be much easier to check his identity.
He is in the Love Academy.
Zhou Zhou subconsciously wanted to say it, but he suddenly remembered that the other party was not talking about the game, but the world outside the game, and he didn't even know what schools there were outside.
Zhou Zhou thought quickly and said vaguely: "I, I am in a school you don't know."
Xia Yan: ...This answer is the same as not saying anything.
Are you on guard against him? So no personal information is disclosed.
"Zhou Zhou."
Alvia came over, glanced at the two people who were "having a good chat", and said to Zhou Zhou: "Go over there, it's too inefficient for two people to stay in one place."
"Oh oh." Although Zhou Zhou was still angry with Al, when he heard that he didn't have to continue talking to Xia Yan, he immediately walked to where Al pointed.
Although he likes to talk, he'd rather not have a conversation where his true identity is easily exposed. He has to think hard about every sentence, which is very tiring.
Zhou Zhou walked towards where Keli and Shirley were. The remaining Elvia and Xia Yan looked at each other, then looked away and no one spoke.
Keli was looking near the window. As he was looking, he exclaimed that the moon outside was so big and round, which made Shirley roll her eyes at him several times.
How long should a moon last?
When he noticed Zhou Zhou coming over, he pointed it out to him.
"Zhou Zhou, look, the moonlight tonight is so beautiful." It would be great if all copies had a moon like this every night, so that no matter what kind of monsters there are, they can be seen clearly.
Zhou Zhou looked at Keli in surprise, thinking back to the information he had just received from Xia Yan, and thought carefully for a while: "I like you, too."
Keli was still looking out the window and sighing, when he suddenly heard Zhou Zhou say this. He turned his head blankly: "Really? You're a nice person, and I like you a lot, too."
"Oh my god!" Shirley, who was looking for clues on the side, rushed forward and kicked Keli in the butt.
He kicked Keli away, then stood where Keli had just stood, and asked expectantly, "What about me? What about me? Does Zhou Zhou like me?"
Zhou Zhou thought for a while, nodded, and said loudly: "I like it!"
How cute! Shirley looked at Zhou Zhou with a smile and even reached out to touch his head.
Al, who was walking over, stopped. He only heard Zhou Zhou’s last words: “I like you.” What do you like? What do you like?
Before Shirley's hand touched Zhou Zhou's head, the moonlight outside the window suddenly dimmed.
Because they were standing in front of the window, the moonlight coming in dimmed in an instant, and Zhou Zhou noticed it immediately. He turned his head to look out the window, only to find that it was all white outside and the scenery in the distance was basically invisible.
What's going on?
Before Zhou Zhou could tell everyone about this strange thing, the whole house suddenly began to shake.
A rough and slow voice came from outside the house.
"Come to hell with me~"
The author has something to say:
