Chapter 018 Chapter 18
"Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight..."
Bai Manman glanced at Reporter Jin who was still in a nightmare under the tree, gritted her teeth, turned around and left.
This time, they played hide-and-seek in the same group as last time, but her partner was no longer available, and she would be caught at the very beginning in this state, so she had to act alone.
"Fifteen, fourteen, thirteen..."
The countdown of the strange girl echoes in the sky, and you can hear this sound no matter where you escape to.
After several rounds of hide-and-seek, Bai Manman had a general understanding of the terrain nearby, and she skillfully found a path that was convenient for hiding and escaping.
"Three, two, one!" The countdown ends.
The final trick begins.
Bai Manman took a deep breath, encouraged herself, and kept telling herself that she only had five minutes, and she could win if she could dodge. Five minutes would pass quickly...
"ah--"
Bai Manman shuddered at the sudden scream of a woman, and then the young man shouted with a trembling voice: "She's here!!"
The sound came from far away from Bai Manman, in the opposite direction. But this did not make Bai Manman feel at ease, everything happened too fast. In the last game of hide-and-seek, it took nearly a minute for the first person to be found. This time, it took only ten seconds?
Is it bad luck that the place where I hide is exactly where the strange little girl is looking for first?
That's too fast.
Bai Manman felt very uneasy.
On the other side, the screaming Qi Liuhai was so frightened that his heart and soul were about to burst. Anyone who had finally found a place to hide and planned to stay there for two minutes would be scared to death if he suddenly ran into the faceless girl in the bushes when he was hiding in the bushes. What about the overly sensitive Qi Liuhai? She should be praised for not fainting again.
The only useful thing that Qi Liuhai's young partner did was to remember to shout to warn his companions who were playing hide-and-seek of the location of the strange little girl, and then he left his girlfriend and ran away.
If they could get out of here alive, this current girlfriend would probably become an ex-girlfriend soon.
This wasn't the first time he'd left her behind.
When the Faceless Boy saw that one of the two men had run away, he didn't hesitate to raise his hand and pat Qi Liuhai, successfully pulling Qi Liuhai into a nightmare.
I don’t know what Qi Liuhai saw in her nightmare. She kept stroking her face, crying and laughing, like a madman.
"I caught you." The faceless boy said with a grin to Qi Liuhai who was smiling bitterly.
There are seven people, and five are left.
As for the Golden Reporter, he was eliminated as soon as the countdown ended.
The Faceless Boy suddenly turned his head 180 degrees and looked behind him, as if he had discovered something, and continued to chase after him in this posture.
"One is eliminated. That's too fast." The bearded man frowned and said to his temporary partner Black Vest No. 2.
Black vest number two nodded and was just about to speak when his expression suddenly froze. He looked at the girl in the red skirt approaching in front of him and said quickly, "She's here!"
The bearded man turned his head and saw the faceless boy, less than fifty meters away from them. The bearded man immediately ran to the left, while the black vest No. 2 fled to the right, shouting, "She's here!"
Not far away, the young man who was approaching this side suddenly changed direction.
The Faceless Boy approached Black Vest No. 2, who cursed in a low voice, took out a retractable trekking pole from his pocket, pulled it open, turned around and attacked.
Missed. The faceless boy was very agile after the transformation, and his neck, arms and legs could be twisted and folded at will. The girl bent her waist to the side at 90 degrees, and dodged the attack that was supposed to hit her chest.
Black Vest No. 2 was so frightened by this scene that his pupils trembled. He put away his crutches and continued to run forward.
The faceless boy's neck and waist made creaking sounds. After adjusting his limbs to normal position, he rushed out again with his sharp fangs bared.
The strange little girl was very fast. When her outstretched hands were about to touch the Black Vest No. 2, a stone hit her and hit the Faceless Boy's chin before falling to the ground.
The little girl paused and turned to look at the bearded man.
The bearded man threw a stone in his hand: "Come and chase me."
The strange girl paused for only two seconds before turning her gaze back and continuing to stare at the black vest No. 2 in front of her. She ignored the bearded man's provocation and grabbed the black vest No. 2's shoulder first, saying with a smile: "I got you."
The sharp nails pierced the flesh of Black Vest No. 2. He fell to his knees on the ground, his muscles twitching in pain.
"Run!" Black Vest No. 2 shouted loudly.
Needless to say, when the bearded man realized that he failed to attract the little girl's attention, he knew that Black Vest No. 2 could not save her, so he turned around and ran away.
He nimbly slipped into the bushes and slid down the hillside.
By the time the Faceless Boy thought of catching him, the bearded man had already run a long way away.
There are four people left.
In addition to the bearded man, there was another person very close to her. The little girl only thought for two seconds before chasing in the direction of the young man.
The young man was running fearfully through the woods. He didn't dare to stop, let alone look back, for fear that he would see a small face without any facial features.
The man prayed that the little girl would be delayed by others, or at least not chase him here again.
His prayers were in vain and the gods did not favor him.
Without turning around, the young man heard a strange sound of wind coming from behind him, and something was flying straight towards him.
The young man quickened his pace and finally ran wildly in the bushes. Finally, his legs and knees could no longer bear the continuous and urgent climbing of the mountain. The man's calf twitched and he fell to the ground. Because of the tilt of the mountain, he slid down several meters until he hit a small tree and stopped.
The young man vomited in pain after being hit in the abdomen.
The slender, sharp fingers touched the back of his neck. The man suddenly dared not move, and his hair stood on end.
"I caught you." said the Faceless Boy with a smile.
"She's here!" At the last moment, the young man's voice and the faceless child's voice sounded together.
While escaping, Bai Manman heard the voice of the Faceless Boy. Every time he caught someone, the Faceless Boy's words "I caught you" would echo in the air, allowing everyone to know how many people were left playing the game.
From the beginning to now, 'Got You' has been played four times. In addition to Reporter Kim who disappeared at the beginning, they also lost three people.
There are still three left, and among these three, one of them is myself, who is not very fast in running away, Bai Manman thought dejectedly.
But how much time has passed? Only two minutes?
Bai Manman was somewhat desperate. If they continued like this, would they really have a chance of winning? Should she consider which organ she should give up?
If she could choose, she would choose ears.
If you lose an ear you can make a prosthetic one, but if you lose an eyeball or a tongue it would be really troublesome.
Just as Bai Manman was thinking about the future sadly, she heard footsteps and the rustling of trees being pushed aside. She was about to run away alertly, but she heard a man's voice: "It's me."
Bai Manman turned around and saw a bearded man covered in sweat.
"What the hell." The bearded man rubbed his hair irritably. "She found it too quickly. This is not right."
"She's here!" The voice of the Black Vest No. 1 brother rang out from a distance.
Can issue a audible warning, indicating that he has been discovered by the weird little girl.
Bai Manman's face turned paler. It happened too quickly. It was less than twenty seconds since the last person was caught.
"Why is this happening? Does she know where we are?"
The bearded man was about to say something unclear when suddenly his eyes caught sight of the shoes Bai Manman was wearing.
Bai Manman was wearing a pair of white sneakers, which were now covered with mud and grass, but what caught the bearded man's attention more was the red color on the front of the sneakers.
That was blood, blood that fell from the strange little girl's skirt and spread on the ground.
Everyone's shoes were more or less stained with it. He still remembered that Qi Liuhai was particularly disgusted and wanted to wipe it off, but it was impossible to wipe it off.
"Take off your shoes! That blood might be a mark!" the bearded man said immediately.
Bai Manman was stunned for a moment, but seeing the bearded man's serious expression, she didn't care about anything else and immediately took off her shoes, leaving only a pair of white socks on her feet.
The bearded man also took off his hiking boots. He picked up Bai Manman's shoes and threw them in two different directions.
"Run!" said the bearded man.
The sound of "I got you" has not been heard yet, which means that Black Vest No. 1 has not been caught yet and they still have a chance.
As soon as this thought came to my mind, I heard the girl's voice in the air: "I caught you~"
There are seven people, and five have been eliminated.
The bearded man closed his eyes. The one in black vest No. 1, who was the best at escaping among them, couldn't last even a minute in the hands of the strange little girl.
"Let's run separately!" the bearded man said to Bai Manman, "There are about two and a half minutes left, try to hold on!" After saying that, he dived into the bushes.
With tears in her eyes, Bai Manman kept moving among the trees.
Her feet were in pain. The mountain roads were already full of rocks, so it was difficult to walk in her hiking shoes. Now that she had no shoes, she had to walk barefoot in her socks. After only a few steps, the sharp rocks scratched her soles. The blood seeped out of her white socks, staining them red with blood.
However, she couldn't stop and had to keep running.
I didn't run far before I heard the bearded man shouting from a distance: "She's here!"
Bai Manman burst into tears immediately.
Losing his shoes only delayed the weird little girl's finding him by a few seconds.
The game is about to fail, and a future of having one's nose cut off and one's eyes gouged out seems inevitable.
