Chapter 0734: This is different from what’s written in the script!
”This game is called the Four Corners Game, at midnight, four people stand at each of the four corners of a dark and closed room, and then walk against the wall in clockwise order.”
”As one person walks to the next corner, he or she gently taps the shoulder of the person who was originally standing in that corner.”
”Because there are only four corners in the room and four people playing this game, when someone in the classroom starts walking around, there is bound to be a corner that is empty.”
”When you’re passing this unoccupied corner, cough and then just keep walking towards the next corner.”
Chen Ge glanced at the five children on the screen and instantly recognized this very famous psychic game.
”How do you know it so well?” Cui Ming was a bit surprised as he held a diary he found next to the projector, and on the first page, the rules of this game were written.
”What I said just now is the beginner’s version, if you guys want to be a bit more exciting, you can also be blindfolded, and every time you walk to a corner, softly shout your name and ask the other person’s name, this way it’s easier for a fifth person to appear.” Chen Ge reached out for the diary, but Cui Ming subconsciously dodged it, “What’s wrong? You don’t trust me? This haunted house is so scary and dangerous, we only have a chance to pass if we are united.”
”It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that you think it’s normal for a tourist to blurt out such a scary game off the top of his head?” Cui Ming seemed to have had some kind of tragic encounter when he visited the haunted house before, leaving a deep psychological shadow, so he was deeply wary of anyone.
”What’s not normal about this?” Reaching into his pocket, Chen Ge gently touched his black cell phone, “This kind of more well-known psychic game isn’t that scary because more people play it, I have some more rare psychic games here, do you want to try them? This venue is very suitable.”
Tremaine gulped as he looked around.
The classroom door was slammed hard by the monsters outside, the model corpses hanging in front of the blackboard swayed back and forth, and one of the seats was on a mannequin with an oddly grim expression, was it really appropriate to play a psychic game in such an environment?
”Okay, I won’t tease you, if I expected well, Nightmare Academy’s new student welcome ceremony should be this game, we only have to follow the rules of the game in order to escape smoothly.” Chen Ge himself ran a haunted house and was clear about these routines.
”The ghosts are coming in, and you guys still have the time to gossip? Whatever way, let’s do it first.” Li Yuan and Xue Li also came over, and they avoided the room door from a distance.
”I have to correct you on one point first, the ones whacking the door right now aren’t ghosts, they’re monsters, and they belong to two camps.” Chen Ge took the journal from Cui Ming and opened it on the podium, he himself stood in front of the blackboard, the gore-smelling corpse model swaying behind him like a pendulum of doom.
”This journal has no name written on it, and judging by the handwriting it must have been written by a student. It’s worth noting that the fonts in this diary aren’t exactly the same, meaning that this diary has multiple owners.” Chen Ge casually analyzed, “The pattern is basically that the fonts change every time a game is done, could this not side-step the fact that so the people who participated in the game, died after recording the diary?”
Chen Ge spoke very fast, under the exercise of the black cell phone, the more he was in this eerie environment, the calmer he became, his mind turning fast.
”Combined with the video on the screen and the diary, I’ll roughly restore what happened to you guys. Four freshmen disobeyed their teachers and entered this school late at night to play the game of four corners, then an extra person came out while playing, then all four of them disappeared, and we will take over for them and experience this game for ourselves.” The two-hour tour was ready to be compressed into less than half an hour by Chen Ge, who gently ruffled the body next to him, “Coming through.”
While the other visitors were still curiously flipping through the diary, Chen Ge had already stood in a corner of the classroom, and he quickly realized that there was a pull ring in the corner.
Reaching out and pulling it, the blackboard gently trembled.
”Installed with a mechanism? I see.” Chen Ge shouted towards a few other visitors, “There should be four pull rings in the four corners, let’s find four people to stand in each of the four corners and then pull them at the same time, the mechanism should be triggered, and then we can escape.”
Chen Ge, who had experienced big scenes, his thinking reaction speed and resilience was far more than ordinary tourists, plus he was experienced, almost as long as he saw a little clue, he could speculate to restore the truth of the incident.
Before the tourists could understand what was going on, Chen Ge had already reasoned out a way to break the situation.
Several tourists stood in the corner of the classroom with confidence, and after pulling the mechanism at the same time, the blackboard slowly rose, revealing the secret passage behind it.
The monster outside the door saw that the tourists had discovered the secret passage and began to hit the door of the room even harder.
”Hurry!” Li Yuan and Xue Li stood in the corner of the wall near the blackboard, the two of them had long been unwilling to stay here, and as soon as the secret passage appeared, they immediately let go and ran towards the blackboard.
But as soon as they let go, the blackboard immediately fell down again.
”Four people must grab the pull ring at the same time for the blackboard to rise.” Chen Ge could sort of see that there was a reason why Nightmare Academy was designed this way, and the fundamental purpose of this level was not to scare visitors, but to divide them.
The same scene, visited by one person, was definitely scarier than ten people visiting together.
”I’m afraid we’ll have to split up, four people will pull the pull ring outside, and the rest will go in first.” After Chen Ge opened his mouth and finished speaking, the few tourists all looked at each other, no one was willing to stay.
”Why don’t the three of us stay.” Little Fatty Li Po said, “Take care of the girls.”
Li Yuan and Xue Li were boyfriend and girlfriend naturally wouldn’t be separated, so the final four people chosen were Chen Ge and the three students.
The four people stood at the four corners and triggered the mechanism at the same time, and when Li Yuan and the others entered the secret passage, the change suddenly appeared.
The only light in the classroom went out, and the blackboard landed violently with a loud bang.
”Someone loosened the pull ring?” His pupils narrowed, Chen Ge possessed Yin pupils, and the darkness had little effect on him.
He raised his head and looked towards the other corners of the classroom, and all three of those students had loosened their hands.
They stood facing the wall, their heads hung low, and their fingers gently tapped on the wall.
”These three students are haunted house actors?” Chen Ge immediately realized that he was now isolated.
”I guess the four tourists who came in behind them are all their employees.” There was no anger or fear, Chen Ge had played with dirtier sets than this, these things were nothing to him.
After a little thought, Chen Ge spoke decisively, “What’s going on! How did the blackboard fall? Did one of you let go? Are you guys still there?”
There was a hint of fear and surprise in his tone, giving off a feeling of forced composure.
”I’m Li Po, I’m still here! What to do now ah! It’s so dark around me, I don’t dare to move!” Li Po’s voice came from the corner near the blackboard, the corner of his mouth cracked and he shouted in a tone that was on the verge of crying.
As he said this, Li Po looked at the direction where Chen Ge was, with a touch of vengeful pleasure in his eyes.
”Don’t be afraid! Stand where you are, I’ll go over to you in a moment!” Chen Ge’s voice was filled with concern and uneasiness as he seemed to be worried about the other party’s safety, “Don’t panic, I’m trying to think of a way out! Who else is there? Say something, let me know where you guys are!”
”I have the diary here, and when I looked through it just now, I found a note written at the bottom of the game’s rules, if you can’t find your way out, you might be able to find a new exit through this game.” Cui Ming’s voice came from across the room from Li Po, the two of them standing in the two corners of the wall near the blackboard.
”It looks like the only way we can escape is to play this game. You guys will follow my instructions later, and no matter what happens, you must remain calm!” Returning kindness for kindness, Chen Ge was still reminding those three students until this time, “When the game really starts later, there might be one more person, that might be an actor from the haunted house, so you guys mustn’t panic.”
