The rules of this game are not complicated and can be fully understood with a little deduction. As long as no one cheats, the person responsible for coughing must be different in each round. The order of D, C, B, and A is repeated, which is exactly the opposite of the cyclic order of movement.
However, the empty corner you reach must be the same every time. The uninhabited corner it reaches must be the corner originally occupied by player A. In this game, it is the corner closest to the store door where Xin Susu stood first.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for anyone to stand there all the time.
He always holds the wall while walking and can easily feel the difference between the wall and the window to judge the location. Before Zhou Yu coughed the last time, there was no problem in the whole process.
In other words, within these three moves, cheaters appeared.
To be honest, Zhou Yu had no intention of blaming the other party. He himself found the game boring, and it was completely understandable that he would create mischief. But the money still has to be fined. As a price for scorning other people's intelligence, this person has to hand over a hundred dollars no matter what.
Zhou Yu stood by the door, listening intently.
The person he just slapped had a strong back and made a soft creaking sound when he walked. There was no doubt that it was Cen Bin himself.
Next, it was replaced by Zhang Mumu's move. Probably because he was a little tired after a few rounds, Zhang Mumu's steps no longer jumped, but they were still very rhythmic.
The next one should be Xin Susu. However, the sound of the next footsteps was smooth and brisk, definitely not the sound of high heels.
No matter how you listen to it, it still sounds like Zhang Mumu's voice.
...Did Zhang Mumu walk twice and pass the empty corner without coughing?
To his ears, the sound of the two footsteps was slightly different, with the latter being lighter. But neither of them jumped, and he couldn't tell which one was closer to Zhang Mumu.
The footsteps suspected of Zhang Mumu continued to move and came to the corner behind Zhou Yu, where Xin Susu should be.
This time, there was still no sound of high heels.
Zhou Yu stood quietly in the corner.
Although his hearing and vision failed to capture anything, he felt that the air in the darkness was as thick as tide, slowly rising and falling around him. Suddenly, something seemed to be whispering in this space.
This feeling seems familiar.
In the dark tide, something sneaked up from behind him. The sneaky figure, even though it made no sound, made the air ripple as it squeezed out the darkness.
Just like a fish feeling the squeeze of the undercurrent, Zhou Yu clearly judged the distance between the person behind him and himself.
He held his breath and quietly put his hand into his pocket, and his fingertips touched the cold metal.
The creeper approached silently, arms reaching for his shoulders.
Zhou Yu held the handle of the knife.
"—Come, rush, rush! Get them all out!"
Xin Susu shouted loudly and slammed open the store door next to the two of them. At the same time, she grabbed Zhou Yu's collar and dragged him violently back outside the store. She turned on the flashlight with her right hand and fired continuously into the store.
"Mu Mu! Dabin! Come out immediately!"
Without her needing to say it a second time, the other two people ran out of the store and hid behind Xin Susu.
Zhang Mumu looked into the store and shouted excitedly: "Awei, Awei! Look at the ghost!"
"What? Is the model girl moving?"
The people staying outside the store seemed stunned by this scene. Only Chen Wei walked to the front of the store without being surprised and also turned on his flashlight to shine indoors. Under the illumination of two flashlights, even the fine dust floating in the air was clearly visible.
Except for the model lying on her back in the middle of the store, the interior was deserted.
"It's not moving."
In front of everyone, Chen Wei walked into the store, squatted down, took a photo of the model's face, and concluded: "The shoe print on the face looks like Zhang Mumu stepped on it."
"I didn't mean it!"
While the two of them were talking, Zhou Yu still lowered his head and touched Xin Susu next to him: "Can you let go of my hair?"
Xin Susu said "Yeah" and quickly let go of her hand: "I'm sorry, I forgot about you."
"...It doesn't matter." Zhou Yu said calmly, combing his hair back to its original position with his hands.
Although her original intention was to grab his collar, due to her hairstyle, Xin Susu inevitably grabbed a lot of hair. In addition, Xin Susu was still holding high heels in her hands, and the thin tips made him feel breathless.
There is absolutely no mistake, these high heels are already at the level of killing skills.
At this moment, he finally understood why this female graduate student became the Supreme Emperor of the Ghost Story Society. In order to protect Zhou Yu's scalp and life, he decided never to participate in similar activities again.
She probably realized that she had struck too hard just now, so Xin Susu apologized repeatedly, patted her head and said, "I was nervous for a while, and I was nervous for a while. I played volleyball in high school."
Zhou Yu calmly took a few steps back.
Zhou Yu's running score never exceeded 65 points. If you want to turn around and run away, it's better to distance yourself first.
At this time, Chen Wei, who was checking the condition of the model in the store, came out. He shined his flashlight at the high heels in Xin Susu's hand.
"Sister Susu, will your stockings be worn out if you walk like this?"
Xin Susu didn't mean to be embarrassed at all. She shook the shoes in her hand and said, "Self-defense."
"Does it really work?"
"You will know after you try it yourself. This is a thin heel of 18 centimeters. As long as you swing it well, it will make a hole in your forehead."
"...That's really convenient."
After saying this comment, Chen Wei took two steps back as if nothing had happened, standing at the same distance as Zhou Yu.
After confirming that Xin Susu was beyond his reach, he asked: "Did something happen inside just now?"
Xin Susu put one hand on her hips and shook two high heels with the other and said, "The situation is not right. No one coughed for two consecutive rounds."
"Isn't it self-directed?"
"Are you so suspicious of me, senior? I didn't ask you to take over the position of president to rebel against me."
"I don't dare, but there seems to be nothing in the store." Chen Wei paused and said, "At least I can't see anything."
Everyone came to the door and cautiously peeked inside.
Indeed, as Chen Wei said, the store was empty and silent. Not to mention ghosts, not even cockroaches or mice can escape.
"Don't stare for too long. Be careful that the model lady suddenly turns her head and giggles at you."
While everyone was looking around, Chen Wei suddenly said this again. He was immediately attacked by Xin Susu and Zhang Mumu.
"Don't say anything that could shake the morale of the army." Xin Susu grabbed his ear and said, "Go, drag that thing out and have a look."
"It's really just an ordinary plastic mannequin. The location of the cut is quite particular, as if it's surgery... Is he some kind of psychopathic doctor?"
Chen Wei said casually as he took the model out and placed it face-up on the road.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Zhou Yu felt as if the model was staring at him.
