Chapter 015 Chapter 15
"The rules are simple. You have 30 seconds to hide and 10 minutes to look for someone." The faceless boy spun in circles in the air excitedly. "Within 10 minutes, as long as I don't catch one of you, you win. If I catch all of you, I win~~"
The roads in the mountains were difficult to travel on and the area was large, so the Faceless Boy had to give them a longer hiding time.
Bai Manman bit her lip and said, "It counts only if you're caught?"
"Yes." The faceless boy smiled and moved closer to Bai Manman, spinning around her. "It's also called the game of catching people."
The bearded man asked, "Is the site too small? Can it be expanded so we can hide?"
Reporter Jin, Bai Manman and others were startled, apparently remembering the young man who wanted to escape but was blocked.
"It's too big." The faceless boy tilted his head and said, "Isn't it enough?"
Bearded man: "We have more people, so we need a bigger site."
The faceless boy tilted his head: "Okay~"
The girl raised her hand and said, "Then expand it a little more."
The bearded man and reporter Jin looked at each other and confirmed that the strange little girl did have the ability to control the range of the ghost wall.
"This map won't change anymore, right?" Reporter Jin asked, and while speaking he raised his camera to take a picture of the little girl's profile.
The faceless boy answered in an innocent voice: "No."
"Okay," said reporter Jin, "let's start..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Liuhai, who was lying unconscious on the ground, slowly got up and finally woke up. He turned his head and saw everyone staring at him. He was stunned for a few seconds, then looked up and saw the strange little girl floating in the air. He was about to scream again.
Black vest number two was close to her and immediately stepped forward to cover her mouth. After calming her down, he told her about the game of hide-and-seek.
Qi Liuhai was so scared that he started to cry. Playing games with a weird person? Can you really win? Don't be afraid that you will end up in a weird person's mouth.
But no matter how many objections she had, the minority obeyed the majority, and the game of hide-and-seek was settled.
What else can they do? They can't run away now, and they are not sure they can win the fight. They might as well follow the rules of the game set by the opponent and try to see if they can escape.
If Qiyi doesn't intend to follow the rules of the game, or if they really can't win, there is still time to take action.
Anyway, let’s test the waters in the first game.
The faceless boy fell from the sky, walked to a tree, and stood facing the tree obediently. He placed his hands on the tree, put his forehead against the back of his hands, and began to count down: "Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight..."
The seven people immediately dispersed and hid in the bushes. Even Qi Liuhai, the least courageous one, left quickly, fearing that he would be captured by the monster if he was too late.
"Seventeen, sixteen, fifteen..." The Faceless Boy was still counting down.
There was total silence all around, with only the comments from the live broadcast filling the screen.
[It’s okay for a little girl who likes to play with others to think this way. 】
【Wake up upstairs, this is weird.】
[This little girl is weird and a little gentler than the previous one. ]
[How did you know that? Because she didn't turn people into weird things right away?]
[Do you think this is a rule? ]
[Is it the rule that if you win you are safe, and if you lose you are finished? Then what is the previous weird rule? ]
【have no idea.】
【I don't know if you are telling a lie. 】
[Do you remember the news? The two people running around without clothes, shouting hide-and-seek and the faceless little girl? ]
【What do you mean? 】
【I think that in places we don’t know, when the live broadcast is not being broadcast, the weird may have already come into contact with humans. 】
[Okay, even if the two people in the news became like that because they met the faceless little girl, then what about the paper man brother? Who saw him before the first live broadcast? ]
No one in the live comment section responded to this point.
In a bedroom in a room, a man with messy hair stared at the computer screen and gritted his teeth: "I encountered it, just before the first live broadcast!"
But he dared not say it. When he was in the funeral home, his family had a dispute over the old man's inheritance, and in the end, the paper man turned into a paper man and kowtowed to the urn. It was not glorious to talk about it. If he told others and people dug into the problem, he would probably be laughed at.
Because no matter how you look at that story, it seems like the paper man couldn't stand their unfilial faces and came out to teach them a lesson. In the end, I became the ugly villain in the story.
In addition, men are also afraid that if they tell others, they will be stared at by strange people and become paper men. Once they experience that feeling once, they will never want to try it a second time.
Witnesses other than him and his family are currently playing hide-and-seek with the strange little girl on the live broadcast.
Bai Manman dived into the bushes, looking for a possible hiding place.
Thirty seconds was too short, only enough for her to escape a little further. Because she was not familiar with the area, Bai Manman couldn't find a suitable hiding place for a while.
Besides, when playing hide-and-seek on the hillside, where else can you hide except in the bushes and behind rocks?
"It's time~~" The little girl's weird laughter echoed in the air.
Bai Manman gritted her teeth, found a dense bush and hid in it, then tried her best to cover herself with the surrounding branches. At the same time, she kept complaining about why she had to wear dark red clothes. It was too conspicuous in this green forest. She should have worn camouflage clothes today. No, if she had known this would happen, she should not have come.
Why is she so unlucky that she encounters strange things twice in a row?
Yes, twice.
The first time I encountered paper figures was in a funeral home.
At that time, Bai Manman didn't know what she had encountered. In the two subsequent live broadcasts, Bai Manman was not among the audience members pulled in. Not only that, it was such a coincidence that even the people around her were not pulled in.
But Bai Manman knew a little about the weird live broadcast, and had also watched the short video circulating on the Internet. After all, the section of the magazine she was in charge of was related to mystery, and her colleagues had talked to her about the magazine's sales being a big hit if the weird live broadcast was made into an interview column. If anyone could uncover the story behind the weird live broadcast, not to mention a salary increase, even their position could be promoted. Bai Manman was very tempted, but she was also very rational. She didn't think that a live broadcast that even the authorities couldn't ban was something that she, an ordinary civilian, could investigate clearly. With that time and energy, she could just do her job well. So she didn't even mention to anyone that she had seen the paper man before her first live broadcast.
Now it seems that even doing your job well is so difficult.
It must be that the horoscope is too light.
Normally, she is an extremely sensitive person and is more likely to notice changes in her surroundings than others.
For example, now, even though she couldn't see or hear anything, Bai Manman just knew that she was coming in this direction.
Just as Bai Manman thought, the Faceless Child indeed came towards the direction where she was hiding.
The little girl with long hair was floating in the air, with her toes about a few centimeters off the ground.
The area encircled by the gray fog was very large, beyond the little girl's perception range, but the faceless child was not panicked. It was the first time to play hide-and-seek, and these people were not smart enough. They just squatted in one place and did not move. The faceless child only needed to walk two more times and go around all the areas, and then he found all the hiding people.
Three of them went into the bushes, two hid in the trees, one crouched in the cave, and one hid in the tree hole.
"Hum~~" The Faceless Boy opened his mouth and began to sing a song, still the familiar song of Little White Boat.
Then, step by step, he walked towards the place closest to her.
Listening to the nursery rhyme getting closer and closer, Bai Manman's body began to tremble uncontrollably. She took a deep breath and clenched her fists.
We've been discovered, so the only thing we can do now is... run!
Bai Manman quickly got out of the bushes where she was hiding and ran towards the escape route she had considered in advance. Suddenly, a face without facial features fell from the sky and blocked her way, scaring Bai Manman so much that she screamed.
"I got you." While Bai Manman was screaming in panic, the weird little girl who was floating upside down in the air reached out and touched her head, "I really like big sister's head."
Bai Manman was trembling on the spot.
"Next~" The Faceless Boy floated away with a smile.
In about three minutes, everyone was caught by the Faceless Boy.
"Give me a reward~" the little girl said with a smile, stretching out her hand.
Several people were silent, and finally reporter Jin took out a pen from his pocket and tentatively placed it on the little girl's palm.
The Faceless Boy accepted it happily and looked at the others.
Starting with the reporter Jin, others also took out things and handed them to the faceless child. Finally, when it was the bearded man's turn, he hesitated for a long time, took out his wallet, tentatively pulled out a banknote with the smallest denomination, and placed it in the little girl's palm.
The little girl's expression changed slightly: "Uncle, this is a part, I want one."
The bearded man paused and put the entire wallet in his hand into the little girl's hand.
The little girl's mouth cracked again: "Thank you, uncle~"
The bearded man nodded.
Reporter Jin's eyes lit up, and he took out another pen and began to take notes, muttering, "So that's how it is. Things given in person must be complete and cannot be given in batches. Is this the rule?"
Qi Liuhai beside him whispered: "It's just the greed of the little girl."
Reporter Jin paused his pen and turned to look at Qi Liuhai.
Qi Liuhai saw her staring at him and was about to say something in rebuttal when he saw reporter Jin nodding in agreement: "You're right. Perhaps weird people and humans are similar in nature in some ways, such as greed. This is something we need to pay attention to."
Qi Liuhai: ...
The research was weird, she was simply crazy.
Reporter Kim continued writing frantically: "I just don't know what will happen if I give 'part' the second time." After saying that, she looked at the bearded man.
The bearded man curled his lips and said, "Go ahead and try if you have the guts."
He had already taken a big risk by trying this time. What if the other party killed him a second time? He would not do that.
The faceless boy said happily: "Let's continue~~Round 2~"
