"This game is called the Four Corners Game. At midnight, four people stand in the four corners of a dark, closed room, and then walk along the wall in a clockwise order."
"When a person walks to the next corner, he gently taps the shoulder of the person who was standing at that corner."
"Because there are only four corners in the room, and four people are playing this game, when someone starts moving around in the classroom, there will definitely be a corner that is empty."
"When you pass this empty corner, just cough and keep going to the next corner."
Chen Ge took a look at the five children on the screen and instantly recognized this famous psychic game.
"How do you know it so clearly?" Cui Ming was a little surprised. He took out a diary he found next to the projector. The rules of the game were written on the first page.
"What I just said is the elementary version. If you want something more exciting, you can also blindfold yourself and call out your own name softly every time you walk to a corner, and then ask the other person's name. This way it is easier for the fifth person to appear." Chen Ge reached out for the diary, but Cui Ming subconsciously dodged: "What's wrong? You don't believe me? This haunted house is so scary and dangerous. We can only have a chance to pass it if we unite as one."
"It's not that I don't believe you, but do you think it's normal for a tourist to casually mention such a horrible game?" Cui Ming seemed to have had some tragic experience when visiting a haunted house before, which left a deep psychological trauma, so he was very wary of everyone.
"What's wrong with this?" Chen Ge reached into his pocket and gently touched the black phone. "This kind of well-known psychic game is not that scary because many people play it. I also have some rare psychic games here. Do you want to try them? This venue is very suitable."
Cui Ming swallowed and looked around.
The classroom door was slammed hard by the monster outside, the model corpse hanging in front of the blackboard was swaying back and forth, and the puppets on the seats had strange and hideous expressions. Is it really appropriate to play psychic games in such an environment?
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. If I'm not mistaken, the welcome ceremony for freshmen at Nightmare Academy should be this game. We can only escape successfully if we follow the rules of the game." Chen Ge also runs a haunted house and is familiar with these routines.
"The ghost is about to come in, and you still have time to chat? No matter what method he uses, just do it first." Li Yuan and Xue Li also came over, and they stayed away from the door.
"First of all, I have to correct you. The ones pounding the door now are not ghosts, but monsters. They belong to two camps." Chen Ge took the diary from Cui Ming, opened it and placed it on the podium. He was standing in front of the blackboard, and the bloody corpse model was swinging behind him like a pendulum of doom.
"There is no name written in this diary. Judging from the handwriting, it should be written by a student. It is worth noting that the fonts in this diary are not completely consistent, which means that this diary has multiple owners." Chen Ge analyzed casually: "Basically, the pattern is that after each game, the font will change once. Does this mean that the people who participated in the game died after recording the diary?"
Chen Ge spoke very quickly. With the training of the black phone, the more he was in the eerie environment, the calmer he became and the faster his mind worked.
"Combining the video on the screen with the diary, I will roughly reconstruct what happened for you. Four freshmen disobeyed their teacher and entered this school late at night to play the Four Corners game. Then one more person appeared during the game, and then all four of them disappeared. We will take over from them and experience this game in person." Chen Ge planned to compress the two-hour tour time into less than half an hour. He gently pushed aside the body beside him and said, "Excuse me."
While other tourists were still curiously flipping through the diaries, Chen Ge had already stood in a corner of the classroom. He quickly discovered a pull ring in the corner.
I reached out and pulled, and the blackboard trembled slightly.
"There are mechanisms installed? I see." Chen Ge shouted to the other tourists, "There should be four pull rings in the four corners. Let's find four people to stand in the four corners and pull them at the same time. The mechanism should be triggered and we can escape then."
Chen Ge, who had experienced big scenes, had a much faster reaction speed and adaptability than ordinary tourists. In addition, he was very experienced, so he could deduce and restore the truth of the incident as long as he saw a little clue.
Before the tourists could figure out what was going on, Chen Ge had already figured out a way to break the impasse.
Several tourists stood in the corner of the classroom, skeptical. After pulling the mechanism at the same time, the blackboard slowly rose up, revealing the secret passage behind it.
The monster outside the door saw that the tourists had discovered the secret passage and began to bang on the door even harder.
"Let's go!" Li Yuan and Xue Li were standing in the corner near the blackboard. They had long been unwilling to stay here, so as soon as the secret passage appeared, they immediately let go and ran towards the blackboard.
But as soon as they let go, the blackboard fell down again.
"Four people must grab the pull ring at the same time for the blackboard to rise." Chen Ge finally understood that there was a reason why Nightmare Academy was designed this way. The fundamental purpose of this level was not to scare tourists, but to divide them.
The same scene is definitely scarier when visited by one person than when visited by ten people together.
"I'm afraid we have to separate. Four of you will hold the pull ring outside, and the rest of you will go in first." After Chen Ge finished speaking, several tourists looked at each other, and no one was willing to stay.
"How about the three of us stay here?" said the little fat boy Li Po, "and take care of the girls."
Li Yuan and Xue Li were boyfriend and girlfriend so naturally they would not be separated, so the four people finally chosen were Chen Ge and the three students.
Four people stood in four corners and triggered the mechanism at the same time. After Li Yuan and others entered the secret passage, something unexpected happened.
The only light in the classroom went out, and the blackboard suddenly fell down with a loud bang.
"Someone loosened the pull ring?" His pupils shrank. Chen Ge had Yin pupils, so darkness had little effect on him.
He looked up at other corners of the classroom and saw that the three students had all let go of their hands.
They stood facing the wall, heads bowed, tapping the wall lightly with their fingers.
"These three students are actors in the haunted house?" Chen Ge understood immediately. Now he was isolated.
"I guess the four tourists who came in later are all their employees." He was neither angry nor afraid. Chen Ge had used dirtier tricks than this before. These things were nothing to him.
After a moment's thought, Chen Ge spoke decisively: "What happened? Why did the blackboard fall down? Did anyone let go? Are you still there?"
There was a hint of fear and surprise in his tone, giving people the feeling that he was pretending to be calm.
"I am Li Po, and I am still here! What should I do now? It's so dark around me, I dare not move!" Li Po's voice came from the corner near the blackboard. The corners of his mouth were cracked, and he shouted in a tone of almost crying.
While saying this, Li Po looked in the direction of Chen Ge with a hint of pleasure of revenge in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid! Stand still, I'll come find you later!" Chen Ge's voice was filled with concern and uneasiness. He seemed to be very worried about the other party's safety: "Don't panic, I'm trying to find a solution! Is there anyone else? Say something, let me know where you are!"
"The diary is here with me. When I was flipping through it just now, I found a note written at the bottom of the game rules. If you can't find a way out, you may be able to find a new exit through this game." Cui Ming's voice came from opposite Li Po. The two of them were standing in two corners near the blackboard.
"It seems that if we want to escape, we can only play this game. You will follow my instructions later. No matter what happens, you must stay calm!" Chen Ge was still reminding the three students at this time: "When the game really starts later, there may be an extra person. That may be an actor in the haunted house. Don't panic."
