In the classroom, a child still stood up and asked the teacher what game he was going to play today.
The teacher still smiled and said the answer, and then briefly explained the rules.
Everyone was in high spirits and found it very interesting.
I'm gearing up and can't wait to start now.
Cheng Ye felt a little strange.
Why does the teacher say the rules so simply, as if... they have been said countless times before.
Because of……
Cheng Ye lowered his head to make himself look even more inconspicuous.
A guess gradually came to mind.
So far, all the choices Cheng Ye has made are exactly the same as the previous four.
Until, the teacher said:
"Games start!"
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment.
The children around him rushed out like a tide.
Tang Huan followed Cheng Ye closely.
When leaving, Cheng Ye glanced at the beautiful teacher and felt strange.
Why is this teacher like a puppet?
His face was stiff and his expression seemed to have been painted on.
Also, why is she wearing the same red skirt and black stockings as the fat woman?
Is this the school uniform?
Although it was strange, Cheng Ye still followed the crowd and walked out.
Only this time, he didn't choose to hide in the playground.
Instead, he followed the crowd.
Something is different...
Tang Huan was chirping all the way.
"Your name is Mo Jiang and I am Tang Huan. These are our real names. You must not forget them."
"Here, we have no names, only numbers. You are 169 and I am 073."
"You remember that when the teacher calls 169, you must answer..."
…
Cheng Ye listened patiently, and he felt more and more strange.
Why can the teacher only call the number?
Is it because we are lazy... or because we are not important?
Because we are just a shell, without the meaning of being human?
Just like a package, a packaging bag, or the shell of an object, it is printed with continuous meaningless numbers.
Just to prove how many?
No one cares about everyone, who is it?
Cheng Ye lowered his eyes, said nothing, and continued to follow Tang Huan.
Tang Huan seems to be very obsessed with drinks.
Repeatedly repeating the issue of not being able to drink.
Cheng Ye was a little confused, his eyes shaking slightly, but he didn't ask any questions.
He seemed to be a different person, no longer taking the initiative.
The two of them hid in the teaching building with the crowd.
There were many children hiding with them.
very many.
Most children chose the teaching building.
Then broke into different rooms.
Cheng Ye was even more confused, why did he choose the teaching building?
What does the teaching building mean to them?
Shouldn't the teaching building be the easiest place to be discovered?
Also, this... doesn't look like a teaching building at all.
Except for the huge classroom on the first floor, all the rooms after climbing the stairs are more like empty training rooms.
There are dilapidated walls, rusty iron railings, iron cabinets on both sides that look like clothes, and large wooden boxes stacked in the corner that cannot be opened.
Cheng Ye walked in and groped around. Huge nails were driven into the wooden boards, and he was unable to find out what was hidden inside.
An orphanage? How could it be so deserted?
More like...an abandoned war preparation area.
The playground... is also yellow soil...
There are also rudimentary equipment, chemical fiber quilts, dilapidated classrooms...
Very strange.
Why are there so many cameras in such a shabby place?
Cheng Ye raised his head and glanced at the camera across the room.
The camera was pointed at him in darkness.
He stared deeply at it too.
After looking at each other for a long time, Tang Huan realized something was wrong with him.
He tugged on Cheng Ye's sleeve: "Stop looking and hide quickly."
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and obeyed Tang Huan silently and hid in the cabinet.
Through small gaps.
Looking thoughtfully at the dust floating in the air.
Deserted, dilapidated, but absolutely monitored.
This orphanage is very problematic.
He should probably believe what the card said.
Out of sight of Tang Huan, Cheng Ye had already quietly opened the paper and read the words on it.
At that moment, he seemed to be isolated from the world.
A series of questions hit his brain, and it took him two seconds to control his expression.
Then, continue to act like a child with facial expressions.
He believed that he had entered a trap in a game.
So until now, he has been making passive choices.
He didn't make any decision, but looked at what Tang Huan asked him to do.
The game has no time limit.
As long as he doesn't touch the rules of death, he has nothing to fear.
Be patient and use the safest way...
He will survive.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard the sound of slight footsteps in his ears.
From the moment Cheng Ye saw that card, everything would be different.
Cheng Ye is not a very smart person. He is just like all other living beings, except that he has a normal brain.
All his acumen, inertia, and intelligence about the game are derived from flesh and blood.
This huge influence was engraved in his bones, so that even if he lost his memory, his soul would always remember it.
What's more, his soul has not yet been completely released.
…
The footsteps stopped, and there was something outside the door.
Cheng Ye peered through the small gap and squinted his eyes, trying to see clearly what was outside the door.
A very cute little doll stood in the room.
This room is not big, about 50 square meters.
The middle of the room was completely empty.
Nothing but dust, just dust.
It seemed like no one had been here for a long time.
Cheng Ye stared at the messy footprints in the room expressionlessly.
If the little baby looks down at the footprints, he should also know that someone is hiding in this room.
But she didn't.
She just tilted her head to inquire, and then skipped away.
She was wearing...a red dress.
Looks like a normal doll.
But the proportions are wrong.
Cheng Ye kept staring at the doll and walked out of the classroom.
He discovered several strange places.
First, this is a hide-and-seek game. Only boys participate in the game. The ones who catch the person should be three groups of children. Why is a little girl looking for the person now?
Second, with such obvious footprints and such an empty house, it stands to reason that it should have been found at once. Why didn’t the girl even make a move to open the cabinet?
She just jumped in, looked around her head, and then left?
...around the head? 360°?
Cheng Ye shuddered, this was not a human at all...
From this moment on, Cheng Ye no longer regarded this orphanage as a normal place.
This must be a place that cannot be explained by normal logic.
It has its own rules.
The reason why Cheng Ye agreed to hide in such an obvious place just now.
It's because there are green iron cabinets like this on both sides of the room.
Eight children just came in, and they all hid in such a cabinet.
They were all children who had participated in hide-and-seek. If they had said that they would be discovered if they hid here, then they would not hide here together in so many people.
Now it seems that it is indeed the case.
The green iron cabinet exists like a safe zone.
"Occasionally listen to the teacher."
In other words, the tips given by teachers may be a way to survive if viewed with reverse thinking.
Cheng Ye was about to continue thinking, but he interrupted himself again.
He had to survive for three days without doing anything extraneous.
See what happens before taking the initiative.
Before entering this game and still staying in that dark space.
Cheng Ye once thought about a question.
There are obviously two ways to pass the game. One is to take risks and take the initiative.
The second is the sorting out clues that are passively accepted.
The first four times he chose were to take the initiative, which meant that he would definitely trigger the "Huan Huan" talisman.
Because of the limitations of the game, he couldn't tell himself in the next game not to talk to Huanhuan.
However, he can change his approach.
For example, use a card to tell yourself to observe for three days.
Since when he died for the second time, he chose to use a card to inform himself that it was feasible.
Then, it is also feasible to add a few more sentences to the card.
Cheng Ye knows himself very well.
He thought about how he could remind himself that there was no chance to play anymore, and how to spend the game as safely as possible.
He tried many methods until he successfully passed the system review and then took a rest.
Now, although he still knows nothing.
But he will never make the same mistake again.
It suddenly became dark.
Cheng Ye obviously felt that the light in the cabinet had dimmed.
And everywhere you look, it also becomes gray.
This kind of darkness is still spreading.
It was like some kind of gaseous creature was starting to overrun the entire orphanage.
The windows were open, and a cold air quickly enveloped everyone in the classroom.
The roaring wind blew from a distance, as if someone was screaming and shouting.
Some children couldn't hold on any longer and burst into tears.
Then one after another, there began to be wailing cries.
Everyone is like children waiting in line for an injection in the hospital.
Because the first child cried, all the others followed.
Cheng Ye sighed and turned his head to look at Tang Huan next to him.
Rourou's little face turned a little pale.
He had just warned himself many times: he must not be discovered.
But now this room is full of ghosts and howls.
Next door...it seems to be the same.
There was absolutely no fear of being discovered.
so……
Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes.
The most important thing about this game is what the teacher said: no movement.
Rather than not being discovered.
After all, I just asked Tang Huan what would happen if he was discovered.
His response was also: "You will never be the same after you get caught."
(The second chapter of this copy, in order to save the number of words and not waste everyone’s experience, will not be written again.)
See the difference?
The answer is wrong.
So, the most important thing in this game is: don't get caught, and don't move.
Cheng Ye glanced at Tang Huan next to him.
His whole body was shaking because of fear, but his legs never moved an inch.
Yes...that's it...
Cheng Ye smiled.
He still did nothing.
He just turned his face and asked something that he had asked Tang Huan in the previous game: "How many times has this been our game?"
Tang Huan was in a panic, with large beads of sweat falling from his forehead: "The fifth time, this is the fifth time today."
Attentive friends have discovered that Tang Huan said it for the fourth time in the last game.
But... Cheng Ye doesn't know...
He nodded, thoughtfully.
The whistling sound outside the cabinet became smaller and smaller.
The visual range is also getting smaller and smaller.
Suddenly, it became completely dark.
They seemed to have arrived in another world.
The classroom became extremely quiet.
Even the cries of the children nearby were gone.
The wind stopped.
All noise stopped.
The entire orphanage fell into absolute silence.
At this time, weird nursery rhymes came from the classroom speakers.
Echoed over the orphanage for a long time:
RGB,
Catch the doll.
One, two, three,
Don't move at all.
Run away, run away.
Hurry up and hide,
Find a safe place and try to survive.
Weak little dolls,
Time is running out.
It’s time to count down.
…
...Have you hidden it?
After a brief three-second pause, the nursery rhyme finished its last sentence.
Then it was as if time stood still.
The world is silent.
RGB?
Cheng Ye frowned.
The little baby just now, the fat woman, and the teacher are all red.
The cabinet they are hiding in now is green.
So... what is blue?
Cheng Ye silently wrote down everything that was wrong.
He wasn't going to do anything.
He decided to listen to 'himself'.
Suddenly, there were soft footsteps outside the door.
It was the sound of some kind of metal scratching on tiles.
Clatter. Clatter.
It's heart-pounding to hear.
Tang Huan covered his mouth, and then signaled Cheng Ye with his eyes not to speak.
Cheng Ye glanced at Tang Huan indifferently.
He was not to be trusted and he would push him out to save his life if necessary.
Bang, bang, bang.
The footsteps were too loud, like a giant walking.
It seemed like the whole building was shaking.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The voice stopped. If I heard it correctly, it should be right in front of the cabinet.
Cheng Ye frowned.
He found a faint light in the cabinet.
It was emanating from the 'person' outside the cabinet.
Cheng Ye leaned forward and looked outside through the gap.
He saw several big-headed dolls.
They are different from the little dolls just now.
Although the proportions of that little doll are wrong, the head is a bit big.
But nothing like them.
The three dolls held hands, their fat hands tightly held together.
Huge heads clustered around each other.
They look very similar to the little doll that came in at the beginning.
It's just bigger, with the head taking up half of the body, and it looks weird.
It's as if... it's as if... they were mutated from the little doll just now.
It just keeps growing and getting bigger.
Then, the head got bigger and bigger and became like this.
The red clothes on their bodies can emit a faint light and illuminate a limited range.
Suddenly, it seemed like someone lost his balance and bumped into the cabinet.
The big-headed dolls immediately walked towards the direction of the noise.
No, no, it's not the sound.
Everyone was crying so much just now, but they were not arrested.
Cheng Ye frowned.
He didn't stand firm and moved away.
The teacher said that you can't move after hiding, but...
Someone moved.
Soon, the three dolls dragged the man out.
The man started shouting and calling like crazy.
Dancing and struggling.
Cries mixed with shouts, sounds of despair.
But no one dared to move.
This is a game where you die if you move.
Like a wooden man version of hide and seek.
Everyone hid in the darkness and held their breath silently, watching all this.
Suddenly, a voice pierced the dark night.
"Congratulations to the third group for catching the first kid, Li Tengteng from the sixth group."
"Please hold your breath and hide carefully to avoid being discovered."
It was the ethereal girl’s voice in the radio station.
