"What game?"
Luo Zheyu was simply disguising himself as Yun Bo. If people around him could tell that he was different from the original Yun Bo, it wouldn't be a big deal to him, so he asked very directly.
"Huh?" The squad leader was stunned and looked at him with wide eyes, not understanding why he asked that.
"Just...just playing that last night..."
"What was the name of the game we played last night?"
The monitor was extremely surprised and a little scared of Luo Zheyu who suddenly became a stranger to him. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he finally told Luo Zheyu the name of the game.
Four Corners Game.
The pressure of studying is great, and teenagers are in the period of liking excitement. Those who are close to each other in the class suggested playing a supernatural game. Others did not dare to try it. Yunbo, the class monitor, Zhao Wuyuan, and Li Bin hit it off and agreed to play the game in an abandoned classroom after evening self-study.
The Four Corners Game is also a ghostly game that summons spirits. It requires four people to play together. The rule is that at night, in an empty rectangular room, all lights are turned off, and one person stands in each of the four corners, facing the wall and not looking back.
When the game starts, a person in a corner walks along the wall towards another person, taps the other person's shoulder, and stays at that corner. The person whose shoulder is tapped walks towards the next corner in the order and direction of the first person's walking, and then taps the third person's shoulder. Everyone walks in the same direction. When they reach a corner where there is no one, they cough and walk towards the next corner, and the cycle repeats.
Rumor has it that at the end of the game, one more person will inexplicably appear in the room. When the fourth person walks towards the first corner, a person will stand in the first corner, where there should be no one, waiting for the fourth person to pat him on the shoulder.
Even when all four corners were filled with people, you could still hear the footsteps of someone moving around in the room.
In the dark classroom at night, they deliberately kept silent and did not look behind them. In the depressing environment, the fear of random suspicion in their hearts was magnified. Soon the four teenagers could not hold on any longer. After saying "Game over", they turned on their flashlights and walked out of the abandoned classroom one by one.
As it turned out, there was not one extra person among the four.
Several people played around and laughed at each other for being timid, but they didn't force themselves to continue playing the game. They all went home.
Now it seems that something has obviously gone wrong with the game the four of them were playing.
Yunbo hanged himself, Zhao Wuyuan did not come to class and was not in a good condition. Maybe something had happened to him. Only the class monitor and Li Bin showed up in school the next day.
At least they were still these two people, and judging from their expressions, they didn't seem frightened.
"Do you have Zhao Wuyuan's cell phone number? I want to ask him what's going on."
Luo Zheyu asked.
"Uh... you didn't save it?"
The four of them are good friends with each other and have exchanged mobile phone numbers a long time ago.
"I didn't find it in my cell phone." Luo Zheyu, who didn't even look through the phone book, was very calm.
"Okay, the number is 189****."
“Beep…beep…beep…”
“…”
As soon as the call was connected, the person on the other end picked up the phone immediately, but there was no sound, only the sound of deliberately light breathing.
If the other person hadn't held the phone very close to his face, his breathing would not have been heard.
"Zhao Wuyuan?"
Luo Zheyu deliberately lowered his voice.
“…It’s me, Yunbo, save me, save me…”
The boy's voice was hoarse and tearful. He seemed to be afraid of something, and his voice was very low. If Luo Zheyu hadn't turned on the speaker, it would have been impossible to hear it clearly.
Looking up and meeting the squad leader's gaze, Luo Zheyu lowered his voice and asked into the phone, "Where are you? What happened?"
"Wardrobe, I'm hiding in the closet, and it's outside, it's looking for me!"
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Wuyuan was incoherent, his voice was hoarse, and his tone was full of fear. His muffled words and gasps were all recorded in the phone, creating an invisible feeling of urgency and anxiety.
The squad leader shuddered for no apparent reason and his scalp felt numb.
"Okay, don't be afraid, don't get caught, I'll go find you."
Luo Zheyu did not ask him who was looking for him outside or why he hid in the closet. He just comforted him and pressed the mute button on his phone. Zhao Wuyuan could no longer hear the sound from this side, but they could hear Zhao Wuyuan's voice.
"Squad leader, do you know where Zhao Wuyuan lives?"
He looked up and asked.
…………
The squad leader knew where Zhao Wuyuan lived and decided to go there with Luo Zheyu.
Luo, the big liar, Zheyu, made up an excuse and asked Yun Bo's sister Yun Xiaoduo to help him ask for leave from the teacher. Then he and the class monitor took a taxi to Zhao Wuyuan's house.
During this time, the phone that was talking to Zhao Wuyuan was very quiet, except for the occasional, rhythmic sound of water dripping.
Snap, snap…
Every once in a while, a drop would fall, as if it had hit the ground, and the water would burst and splash everywhere.
"Why is there a sound of water dripping on the phone? Didn't Zhao Wuyuan say he was hiding in the closet? Could he be playing a trick on us..."
The squad leader frowned, puzzled, then acted as if he suddenly realized something, clenched his right hand into a fist and made a palm with his left hand, and then hit the two together.
"Don't make jokes like this. This guy is getting more and more naughty. He made a joke and we rushed to see what was wrong with him! Isn't this a waste of time? When I see him later, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"
"I hope it's a joke."
Luo Zheyu turned his head to look out the window with a deep tone.
"Too……"
The monitor was silent.
If this wasn't a joke, Zhao Wuyuan might be in danger right now.
"If what he said is true... could it be that their house was robbed? That's why Zhao Wuyuan had to hide in the closet, in order to avoid being discovered by the thief, who would kill him!"
The monitor spoke excitedly and began to imagine.
"Hey, let me tell you." The taxi driver couldn't help but glance at the two of them in the rearview mirror and asked, "You two are still students, right? Did your classmate get into trouble?"
"Yeah, but we don't know what happened specifically. He was so secretive when he called, afraid of being discovered. We didn't dare to ask too much, for fear of exposing him to the bad guys."
The monitor immediately revealed all the secrets and almost let out that they had skipped classes from school without asking for permission.
"Then you should call the police!" The taxi driver suddenly raised his voice and slapped the steering wheel.
"beep--"
I accidentally honked the horn.
After hearing the conversation between the two, the driver had wanted to say this for a long time. If you don't call the police if something happens, it will be useless for two little brats to rush over and get involved. Who knows, two more people might get killed!
"...Yes!" The squad leader slapped his forehead. "Oh! How could I forget!"
Luo Zheyu held his forehead with his hand, listening to the sound of water dripping from his cell phone, knowing that it might be too late to call the police now.
But it is not without use.
Anyway...
You can also collect the bodies.
For the rest of the journey, the taxi driver drove very fast, almost overtaking all the way at the speed limit. When he saw the green light was about to turn red, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward. The original 20-minute journey was shortened by seven or eight minutes.
"Your classmate who had the accident lives here, right?" The driver parked the car at the gate of the community.
"right!"
"Wait, I'll go up with you!"
He quickly locked the car and took out a wrench from the tool box in the trunk.
"Let's go!"
The squad leader opened his mouth, his eyes filled with tears: "I didn't expect you to have such a warm and kind heart!"
The driver smiled, and the Mediterranean Sea above his head seemed brighter, reflecting the rays of the sun.
"Don't talk about this. The police should be here soon. Let's go up and take a look first to prevent your classmates from getting into trouble."
The journey was smooth, but one encountered difficulties when arriving at Zhao Wuyuan's house.
The security door is closed tightly and cannot be opened or entered.
Luo Zheyu unmuted his phone.
"Zhao Wuyuan, are you still there?"
The sound of dripping water stopped abruptly, and a low, trembling breath sounded.
"...Save me, Yunbo, come and save me..."
"I'm at your door now."
"Save me, save me, save me!" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became urgent.
“Save me!”
"…It found me, it found me! I can't escape, I can't escape!"
Zhao Wuyuan didn't listen to what Luo Zheyu said. He just talked to himself and was almost on the verge of collapse.
Even when he was saying things that indicated he had been discovered, Zhao Wuyuan still tried his best to keep his voice down, fearing that he would be discovered. He sounded as if he was extremely frightened, and his voice gradually became shrill, as if it would pierce his eardrums, revealing a huge amount of fear in his heart.
Luo Zheyu frowned, looked at the phone that kept emitting Zhao Wuyuan's sharp voice, and then looked at the security door.
Then, he reached out and grabbed the handle of the security door.
He tightened his five fingers and gripped the security door handle.
Pull outward with force.
Squeak-squeak-
The door lock made a very miserable grinding and turning sound.
Bang—bang—bang—
There was a slight sound like firecrackers coming from inside the security door.
Amid such a symphony, the security door was slowly opened by Luo Zheyu and twisted into shape.
The taxi driver and the squad leader stared at him in amazement.
The squad leader swallowed and asked with difficulty: "You...how did you...did you eat spinach?"
The words took a detour and the monitor didn't know why he was discussing spinach.
Maybe it was because he was deeply impressed by the cartoon in which Popeye ate spinach and became a strong man when he was a child.
"It's not important, go check on Zhao Wuyuan."
Although he felt that this was obviously very important, the squad leader still rushed into Zhao Wuyuan's house first.
Go straight to Zhao Wuyuan's bedroom.
He had been a guest and was familiar with the layout of Zhao Wuyuan's house.
There is a wardrobe in the bedroom, maybe Zhao Wuyuan is hiding in it.
At the same time, the taxi driver was holding a wrench and searching the house for the "it" that Zhao Wuyuan mentioned.
The driver didn't notice that there was someone else hiding in the house until the squad leader knocked on the wardrobe and shouted for help.
"Zhao Wuyuan! Zhao Wuyuan!? Are you in there? We are coming!"
The squad leader yelled at the closet, but no sound came from it, as if it was just like any other closet, with only clothes in it.
"The closet is locked."
“I can’t open it.”
The squad leader looked at Luo Zheyu with longing.
Luo Zheyu looked at the tall off-white wooden wardrobe. There was no keyhole, and there was only a small round button on each door, which was used to facilitate the use of the wardrobe.
"The wardrobe is locked from the inside."
