Lin Ruxuan sat on the bed in the dormitory, holding a book in her hands, but her ears couldn't help but listen to her roommates' discussion.
"Tonight, let's go to the old teaching building to play four-corner games. Who wants to go?"
“I’ll go!”
"I'm going too!"
"Count me in!"
Several girls responded and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Xiaomei turned to look at Lin Ruxuan, her tone full of anticipation and excitement:
"Ruxuan, why don't you come too? It's more fun when there are more people!"
Lin Ruxuan raised her head with an awkward smile on her face:
"I...I won't go. I still have a paper to finish and need to catch up..."
Xiaomei curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly:
"Hey, when can't I do my homework? It's Friday, just relax!"
Another roommate came over and said teasingly:
"Ruxuan, you're not scared, are you?"
Lin Ruxuan's face flushed instantly, and her voice was filled with panic:
"I...I'm not afraid! I just...I just think this kind of game is boring."
When the roommates heard this, they immediately laughed:
"Hahaha, Ruxuan, you are just a coward!"
Lin Ruxuan was a little annoyed by what she said, but she couldn't get angry. She could only lower her head and continue reading, pretending not to hear.
Recently, these ghost games have become popular in school. Some brave students have gone to the old teaching building.
Play with Pen Fairy and the Four Corners game.
Some people even go to abandoned laboratories to summon spirits.
Although Lin Ruxuan had no interest in these games, she was still a little curious.
She had heard the rules of the Four Corners game:
Four people stand in the four corners of the room. The first person walks to the second person's position and pats the second person's shoulder. Then the second person walks to the third person's position, and so on.
It is said that later in the game, a 'fifth person' will appear in the room.
When Lin Ruxuan thought of this, she felt a chill in her heart and quickly shook her head, throwing these messy thoughts out of her head.
"I'm not going! This kind of game is too scary."
Lin Ruxuan's roommates came to the old teaching building excitedly.
The building has been abandoned for years, with vines climbing up the walls and broken windows.
It makes a 'whooshing' sound when the wind blows.
Xiaomei walked in front with a flashlight, her tone full of excitement.
"This is it. I heard this building used to be the medical school's laboratory building, and many people died there!"
Another roommate, Xiaoyu, suddenly shuddered and felt uneasy.
"Xiaomei, don't scare me! Are we really going to play the four-corner game here?"
Xiaomei looked back at her, her tone full of contempt:
"What are you afraid of? It's just a game, right? Besides, other students can play it, so why should we be afraid?"
They walked into an empty classroom, which was full of dust and had a few broken tables and chairs piled in the corner.
Xiaomei placed the flashlight in the middle of the classroom. The light was dim and could barely illuminate the four corners.
Others wondered in their hearts why they didn't bring a few more flashlights. It was so scary now.
Xiaomei thinks the atmosphere is just right!
"Okay, let's get started." Xiaomei clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"The rules are very simple. The four of us stand in four corners. The first person walks to the second person's position and taps the second person on the shoulder.
Then the second person moves to the third person's position, and so on.
If you walk to a corner where there is no one, you should cough first and stay for 5 seconds.
Then jump over the corner and continue moving forward until you take a picture of the next person.
Remember, don’t look back and don’t speak!”
Several girls nodded and stood in the four corners of the classroom.
Xiaoyu was scared and tried to speak several times, but no words came out.
Xiaomei stood in the first position, took a deep breath, and started moving forward.
Her footsteps echoed in the empty classroom, and every step seemed to step on people's hearts.
Xiaoyu stood in the second position, listening to Xiaomei's footsteps getting closer and closer, and began to feel uneasy...
"Pa!" Xiaomei patted Xiaoyu's shoulder. Xiaoyu trembled all over and almost cried out.
She remembered the rule Xiaomei had told her, that she couldn't speak, so she calmed herself down and started walking towards the third position.
Her footsteps were not loud, but they were still clear in the quiet classroom.
Standing in the third position is Xiaofang.
Xiaoyu walked behind her and patted her shoulder gently.
Xiaofang's body obviously stiffened for a moment, but she continued to move forward.
Xiaofang walked to the fourth seat and patted the shoulder of Xiaoxiao, the last roommate.
Xiaoxiao started walking towards the first position. In her memory, Xiaomei at the first position had already left, so there should be no one there.
So she got there, coughed, stayed there for 5 seconds, and walked towards the next corner.
However, when she arrived at the second location, she found that there was still no one there.
Xiaoxiao's heart sank suddenly. She didn't dare to speak, so she could only continue coughing and wait for five seconds...
The others heard two coughs and felt something was wrong, but no one dared to speak first.
According to the rules, they only need to cough when they walk to an empty corner, but there are only four of them, so why did they cough twice?
Xiaoyu stood in the third position, her legs trembling slightly, her heart aching, and she was about to cry.
Xiaofang stood in the fourth position with her eyes closed tightly, afraid of seeing something she shouldn't see.
Xiaoxiao stood in the second position, feeling more and more panicked. She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly with her hands, and her palms were full of sweat.
She clearly remembered that Xiaomei should be here, but now there was no one here.
She didn't know what to do, her mind went blank.
At this moment, the flashlight went out instantly and the classroom was plunged into darkness.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
The girls screamed at the same time, and the sound echoed in the classroom, very piercing.
They instinctively ran to the middle and ended up bumping into each other.
"Who? Who is it?" Xiaoyu's voice was trembling and crying.
"It's me, Xiaofang!"
"I'm Xiaoxiao!"
The three girls hugged each other tightly, as if they were grabbing the last straw.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Xiaoyu suddenly spoke with a trembling voice:
"Wait...it seems like someone is missing..."
Xiaofang and Xiaoxiao froze for a moment, feeling uneasy.
"Where's Xiaomei?" Xiaoxiao's voice was full of fear.
The three people panicked and frantically searched for the only flashlight on the ground.
"Found it!" Xiaofang found the flashlight and quickly turned it on.
The faint light swept around the classroom and found that it was empty with only the three of them.
"Xiaomei... is gone."
"Did we...play wrong?"
"Stop shouting...will she...will she..." Xiaoxiao's voice was trembling, and she didn't finish her words, but her meaning was very clear.
