Chapter 391: The Tricks of the Beast World (4)
The moment the three of them lay down on the bed, the candles automatically went out and they were plunged into darkness.
Xia Yue knew that she would not be able to rest in the middle of the night, so the moment she lay down, she closed her eyes, wanting to take advantage of this time to get some sleep.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, when Xia Yueke was half asleep, she heard someone calling her name softly.
"Xia Yueke~"
"Xia Yueke..."
Xia Yueke half opened her mouth, wanting to answer, but she suddenly woke up the next second. The voice was very familiar, like Sister Zhang.
"Xia Yueke, don't sleep anymore, it's already dawn!"
Xia Yuke was also scared, so she slept with her head covered all night. She really didn't know whether it was daybreak or not. But just as Sister Zhang finished speaking, it seemed that sunlight was shining directly on her quilt. Xia Yuke could even feel the glare from inside the quilt.
Xia Yuke felt herself hesitate for a moment. Was it really dawn already? But she felt extremely cold all over, without the warmth of the sun.
Xia Yueke could even clearly hear the sound of her own heartbeat, and it seemed that everyone else in the room had disappeared long ago, leaving only herself.
Xia Yueke clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and her body was stiff, but she still insisted on not moving. The curtains on the windows were drawn, so no matter how strong the sunlight was, it was impossible for it to shine like this. Besides, she was sleeping in the corner, so there was no direct sunlight at all!
So, this voice must be fake!
Xia Yueke strengthened her heart and remained motionless.
After a while, Sister Zhang's voice disappeared.
Xia Yueke felt like a real dog. It actually yelled at people when they were half asleep and half awake. If they weren't careful, they would definitely answer! Xia Yueke felt a cold sweat on her body. She almost fell for it!
Just when Xia Yueke was about to fall asleep, Boss Li's voice suddenly came from outside the window. He seemed to be banging on the window, "Help... Help, come and save me!"
The sound lasted for a long time. Just when Xia Yue was sure that no one would get out of bed, footsteps rang out in the room, clatter, clatter, clatter...
The man seemed to be standing between Xia Yueke and Sister Zhang's beds, and was still walking back and forth.
Xia Yueke closed her eyes tightly and thought of the third rule.
At midnight, something will move around the room. Please close your eyes tightly, do not make any sound, and do not try to sense its location.
Don't try to sense its location.
Xia Yueke muttered to herself and began counting sheep, 12345.
Xia Yueke was still concentrating on counting sheep, but after a while, she felt something pressing on her body. Xia Yueke immediately stopped counting sheep and started counting numbers: one, two, three,... fifteen, sixteen..."
When he counted to sixteen, a scream of "Ah--" suddenly came from the bed near the door. It was Lin An's voice!
Xia Yueke's heart skipped a beat and she paused for a second. Then she felt the weight on her body getting heavier and heavier, and there was a feeling that something cold wanted to get into her body. She immediately pulled herself back to her senses and continued counting, seventeen, eighteen... twenty-nine, thirty.
When she finished counting the last number, Xia Yueke felt the weight on her body disappear.
Xia Yueke was covered in the quilt, having difficulty breathing and her face was covered in sweat, but she didn't dare to move. She could only keep her body stiff and motionless, forcing herself to fall asleep.
I don't know how long it took before Xia Yuke fell asleep again. This time she slept until dawn. At the same time, Xia Yuke heard the sound of people moving on Sister Zhang's bed and Lin An's voice. Then she looked at the luminous mechanical watch on her hand and confirmed that it was seven o'clock before getting out of bed.
Xia Yueke got out of bed and found that Sister Zhang was looking at her in surprise. She couldn't ignore that look even if she wanted to. "What's wrong?"
Sister Zhang shook her head. "I heard screams yesterday and thought something happened to you."
Xia Yueke understood that she had not made a sound the whole night, so the voice must be fake, used to deceive Sister Zhang.
Xia Yueke gave her a strange look and said, "I heard you calling me too. You said it was dawn."
Sister Zhang smiled and said, "You can't believe that, sister!"
The two smiled at each other, and Lin An suddenly said, "I heard Boss Li's voice outside the window. What about you guys?"
Sister Zhang shrugged, "Me too
Xia Yuke also nodded, feeling that this Boss Li might be in trouble. If one person heard it, it might be fake, but if three people heard it, it meant that a large part of the sound last night might be real.
Xia Yueke shifted her gaze to Lin An and found that she was no different from yesterday, but she clearly heard Lin An's screams in the middle of the night. Could that also be an illusion?
A seed of doubt was planted in Xia Yueke's heart, and she decided to stay away from Lin An for the next two days. They had already had an unpleasant argument last night, and now she had a reason to distance herself from Lin An.
When the three of them had tidied themselves and opened the door, they found that they were indeed in a wooden house, but the outside was even more dilapidated and there seemed to be a draft.
When they walked out of the house, they found that Luo Da and Ai Teng were already outside, but Boss Li was missing.
Luo Da's face looked a little bad, and Ai Teng's lips were trembling, his face was pale, and his whole body was shaking. It seemed that he was quite frightened last night.
Ai Teng saw Xia Yueke and the other two as if he had seen a savior, "You finally came out. Last night was really thrilling and terrifying. I don't want to play this game anymore. I don't want to!"
He held his head and cried loudly. No one present laughed at him. After what happened last night, everyone knew that this game was not a joke to them!
Sister Zhang looked at Luo Da and asked, "Where's Boss Li?"
Luo Da was clearly a muscular man, but he shuddered at the words, "He broke the rules last night, and when we went to see him this morning, he was already dead in his bed!"
Xia Yueke frowned, "What rules did he break? Can you tell me more specifically? As long as you memorize the rules carefully, it's unlikely that you'll make a big mistake!"
Luo Da's eyes flickered. "Yesterday, the three of us played finger-guessing, and whoever lost got to sleep on the bed by the door. Boss Li lost, so he slept there. Then I heard him get out of bed in the middle of the night. Then he seemed to open the window, muttering something like, 'I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to play anymore!' Then he ran out!"
"There were clattering footsteps in the back room. I was very scared and quickly closed my eyes. I don't know what happened next. I didn't dare to get out of bed until Ai Teng called me in the morning."
Sister Zhang raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ai Teng, who nodded, trembling all over.
