This game is indeed not complicated. Song Mengmeng only watched for a short while before she was able to happily join in and play together!
She and Yao Anna, like two butterflies flitting among flowers, laughed and weaved back and forth between two rubber bands. Accompanied by the clapping and nursery rhymes of the children nearby, this strange and unpredictable environment actually brought a touch of childlike fun and joy.
This stands in stark contrast to the four guests who had previously run away in a frenzy.
Just as Song Mengmeng thought, the key to whether they could go upstairs lay with the three little devils in front of them.
As long as you have fun with them, you won't encounter any targeting from them. So, without any problems, Song Mengmeng led Yao Anna up to the fourth floor of the dormitory via another staircase not far from the three little devils.
"Mengmeng, were those three... staff members?!" Once they reached the fourth floor, Yao Anna, having regained her composure, asked Song Mengmeng, who was looking up to find the location of dormitory room 404, in a low voice.
She hadn't really thought that much about it when she was playing, but now that she's relaxed, even the slightest bit of deep thought is enough to make her scalp tingle.
"Shh, don't say it even if you see it!" Song Mengmeng turned her head, winked at Yao Anna, and made a shushing gesture.
Although she didn't say anything, her attitude said it all! Yao Anna turned pale with fright and reached out to help Song Mengmeng to steady herself.
If Song Mengmeng wasn't joking with her, then was she really playing a game with X just now?!
"Have you ever heard of the concept of the outer world and the inner world?!" Now that the topic had come up, Song Mengmeng didn't intend to hide it any longer. She slowed her pace, turned to look at Yao Anna, and explained everything that was happening in front of her in a low voice.
"Although I don't know what triggered it, it's most likely related to Fang Wenwen who was trying to climb the stairs. Fang Wenwen stepped onto the stairs, and in an instant, she brought us to the other world of this abandoned dormitory building."
There has always been a theory about the existence of parallel universes.
Although human science has not yet reached this level, all of this is indeed real!
To put it bluntly, this other world is the dark world, a world belonging to vengeful spirits, the gathering place of all the negative energy that this dormitory building has endured.
The three little devils you just saw were probably earthbound spirits that had been staying here since before this dormitory building was built!
They are unable to leave for some reason, and can only repeat everything they have experienced day after day, year after year!
"So, you were playing games with them just to make them happy so they wouldn't make things difficult for us and would let us come to the fourth floor?!"
Although the reality before her was hard to accept, she had to face it since it had happened! Yao Anna only panicked for a moment before quickly calming down.
Upon closer reflection, she understood why Song Mengmeng had wanted to join the jump rope activity.
“Yes.” Song Mengmeng nodded, confirming her guess: “We are now trapped in this inner world. If we want to get out, we must follow the rules here!”
In my observation, the ruler of this world may have been influenced by the escape room next door, and designed an escape room for us here!
To leave, you must complete the required procedures! None can be omitted!
If my guess is correct, she arranged it according to the script the production team had provided us! There might be some uncertainties along the way, but the final result is that we all have to go to dormitory 404 and play the Ouija board together!
"Then, if they don't come up, won't we be unable to do anything right now?!"
When Yao Anna heard Song Mengmeng say that, she was completely stunned.
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let the other four run around! Now that they've safely made it to the fourth floor, are the rest of them going to be stuck on the first floor forever?!
If they can't get to the fourth floor, won't they be unable to complete the Ouija board ritual? Won't they be stuck here forever?!
"If we can't play the Ouija board, there's another way we can play!" Song Mengmeng smiled and handed a pen to Yao Anna. "Since the final boss in this secret room needs to be summoned to appear, the two of us can do it too!"
Looking at the pen in Song Mengmeng's hand, Yao Anna almost effortlessly guessed Song Mengmeng's plan: "You, you mean, the two of us are going to play a game, a game of Ouija board?!"
“Yes!” Song Mengmeng nodded, answering Yao Anna’s question while continuing to look for the 404 apartment number: “Anyway, they’re all pretty much the same. If the Ouija board can summon that BOSS, then the spirit board can too!”
However, while the idea was good, it encountered considerable trouble in its implementation.
She couldn't find dormitory room 404!
She went back and forth across the entire fourth floor at least three times, but still found nothing!
There are 401, 402, 403, and then 405...
There is no dormitory room number 404!
"This is so annoying!" After circling around again, Song Mengmeng finally lost her patience! She stopped at the top of the stairs she had just come up, stomped her foot in dissatisfaction, and complained to the air in front of her, "That's enough, my patience is limited. If you continue to be uncooperative and play hide-and-seek with me, I'll get rough with you!"
Whether it was Song Mengmeng's dissatisfaction that had an effect, or the remaining guests who had run away on the first floor earlier suddenly realized something, not long after Song Mengmeng finished speaking, a series of hurried footsteps were heard coming from the originally quiet stairwell.
Liu Song had climbed all the way up, and was exhausted like a dead dog. He thought he was going to be trapped in this staircase for the rest of his life, but when he looked up, he saw the two remaining female celebrities who had entered the secret room with them earlier sitting on the steps of the stairs. They were smiling at their disheveled state and even waving to them happily.
"..." Sometimes the contrast is just that stark!
Liu Song took a breath, no longer caring about his image, and collapsed onto the stairs, panting heavily with his face up.
He didn't rest for long. The remaining two ordinary people struggled to climb up as well. Seeing Liu Song and the others in this state, they were clearly relieved and collapsed to the ground, ignoring everything else. The short girl among them finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears...
