Star Trace Gate

After entering this star gate, Brother Hong was born in the "Gen" room. Before he left the room, he also successfully found a clue.

This clue was relatively valuable and had a clear direction, and was related to this campus, so he decided not to travel with anyone else in the first round and to explore on his own.

Brother Hong arrived outside the school at around eight o'clock, but did not rush in. Instead, he chose to observe and went through the previous class time.

As soon as half past nine arrived and a new round of break began, he decided to take action.

On campus.

The blue truck stopped outside the yellow line, and Ren Ye, who had used an invisibility talisman, sat in the cab, shivering. He stared at Brother Hong's back with admiration and murmured, "As expected of a captain player, he's really fierce!"

Not far ahead, Brother Hong had already crossed the yellow line and was still walking towards the teaching building.

He had just heard Star Gate's reminder, but it only took him a brief pause before he fully understood the rules.

"I can't refuse a game, and they didn't say how many games there are in total...!" Brother Hong frowned and murmured, "Damn, the rules are so vague."

While he was muttering to himself, he also turned his head to look around.

At this moment, in the huge campus, a group of primary school students are running under the bright sunshine, like ponies released from the springs, playing wildly, and laughter is everywhere.

The sky is full of sunshine, and spring breeze is blowing all around. The whole campus looks like it is covered with a movie filter, soft and sunny.

Brother Hong continued to move forward and was about to reach the main entrance of the teaching building.

"Tap tap...!"

At this moment, a cheerful sound of footsteps rang out, and a childish voice rang out: "Uncle, they don't want to play with me, can you play a game with me?"

"brush."

Brother Hong suddenly looked behind him and found a little girl in a pink dress, who looked as cute as a porcelain doll, looking at him timidly.

She was about seven or eight years old, not very tall, but round and plump, with a little baby fat on her face. She was wearing a pair of red buckle sandals, had two small braids, and was looking at Brother Hong with her head tilted.

After the two of them looked at each other for a while, Brother Hong nodded slightly and said simply, "Sure, what shall we play?"

"Um……!"

The little girl showed a thoughtful expression. After thinking for a long time, she replied in a baby voice: "Then let's play hide and seek."

"Okay." Brother Hong looked at her with eyes full of vigilance and caution.

"Well, let me make the rules." The little girl nodded heavily and said softly, "You hide and I catch you. After the class bell rings, if I catch you, you lose. If I don't catch you, you win."

Brother Hong asked tentatively: "What if we lose? What if we win?"

"Giggle...!"

The little girl laughed: "You'll know after you finish this game."

"Okay." Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Brother Hong had no choice but to agree.

"I'll go to the platform and count. When I get to 100, I'll start looking for you."

"Ah."

Brother Hong looked around and started looking for a hiding place.

The little girl stood on tiptoe happily and snapped her fingers with a smile: "Then let's get started."

"Snapped!"

As soon as the words fell, a crisp sound of fingers snapped.

"Ugh...!"

In an instant, the world changed drastically. A bone-chilling cold wind suddenly blew through the entire campus, and the black sun flag was fluttering in the wind. The joyful scene of the break around, the group of children who were having fun, and the bald teacher all disappeared in an instant.

Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, blocking out all sunlight. The entire campus was like a total solar eclipse, and it became pitch dark in an instant.

Various mosses and cracks appeared on the walls of the teaching building. Some of the glass windows were broken, and some were covered with dust, as if there were ghost shadows floating around.

In short, there are traces of wind and rain everywhere.

The playground became desolate and empty... Only the cold wind whistled past, seeming to blow away the dust and ghosts on the ground.

Inside the blue truck, Ren Ye saw this dramatic change and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He prayed fiercely in his heart: "Heaven and earth, please help my beloved concubine to appear... and grant me the magic talisman!"

While he was mumbling to himself, he reached out and took out two soul-calming talismans given to him by his beloved concubine.

At this time, the Buddha was useful, so he asked Nalu for the two talismans. He felt a little safer.

“Trample, tramp, tramp…!”

In the dead silent and empty playground, the little red shoes stepped on the ground, making cheerful and rhythmic footsteps. The little girl in the pink dress floated slowly to the side of the raising platform like a light firefly.

There was a faint halo emanating from her body, and her small body was looming in the darkness.

By the side of the road, Brother Hong turned his head and looked around, then disappeared with a whoosh and went into the teaching building.

The black sun flag had completely disappeared in the pitch-dark night, leaving only the rustling sound made by the cold wind.

"1!"

"2!"

“Hey, 13…!”

The little girl squatted obediently beside the flag-raising platform, and her voice was like a bell, ringing clearly in this quiet place.

Empty, drifting for a long time...

The next sound rang out before the previous number had completely dissipated, and it sounded a bit mixed and chilling.

Ren Ye saw this scene and was terrified, but he still commented like a professional referee: "Fuck, that teacher taught you that the 2 is followed by 13! Isn't this just cheating?"

Comments were comments, but he didn't dare to shout loudly. He just pinched the talisman with his left hand and clenched the Emperor's sword with his right hand, ready to fight at any time.

Inside the teaching building.

Brother Hong ran in the empty corridor without looking around.

As he ran, he murmured, "It should be a dirty thing, so the hiding methods of a living person should be useless. It is not a normal child, and conventional hiding methods may not work. Moreover, it should have supernatural powers... No, we can't really hide. The rule he said is that we have to hide until the class bell rings, and then it's over. The key point... should be to delay time."

"Snapped!"

After mumbling a few words, Brother Hong suddenly stopped and said firmly: "We need to set a trap, lure her in, and delay time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly reached into his jacket pocket and fumbled out three small porcelain bottles among a bunch of life-saving and magic props.

He had prepared very well, but he had not anticipated the rules to be like this, so he did not prepare many small porcelain bottles in advance.

"brush!"

Brother Hong took out one of them, quickly bent down, placed it in a classroom, and uncorked the porcelain bottle.

When the cork was pulled out, a faint blue soul fire slowly lit up in the small porcelain bottle, swaying in the wind in the dark night, but remaining unextinguished.

"woo woo woo woo……!"

In the quiet classroom, the sound of a woman's sobbing could be heard faintly, ethereal and floating, as if it were there and not there.

After doing all this, Brother Hong turned around and left again.

……

In the playground.

After counting one hundred, the little girl jumped up happily, and shouted with an excited smile on her face: "I came to find you...hahaha!"

"brush!"

Its small body instantly floated along the weed-covered ground.

In the darkness, it seemed that only the pink dress was floating on its own, but no human figure could be seen.

Ren was also sitting in the car, thinking: "Hide and seek?! If it were me...how would I hide?"

"Oh!"

Just when he was distracted and thinking, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the front of the car.

Ren Ye sat up straight and instinctively looked forward, but he saw a pale little face outside the car window, tilting its head in the darkness, staring at him with resentful eyes.

"Fuck!"

Ren also felt numb, from his scalp to his heels, as if he had been electrocuted, and even his breathing stopped.

Outside the yellow line, the little girl's dress fluttered, a strange smile appeared on her pale face, and she whispered, "Uncle...Uncle...Come out and play with me!"

I'm not going!!!

Ren Ye gritted his teeth and simply closed his eyes, not looking at the other person or replying.

"Uncle... No one has played with me for a long time... Come out, I have something good to give you!" The little girl's voice was full of grievance, which made people feel pity.

I won’t go!!!

Ren also silently recited the Diamond Sutra in his heart, his appearance was solemn and sweat appeared on his forehead.

About three seconds later, the little face outside the car window gradually disappeared.

Ren held his breath and waited for a long time before slowly opening his eyes. When he saw the girl disappear, he sighed, "I have to change my pants when I get home...!"

"Well, that little girl shouldn't be able to cross the yellow line." He stretched his neck and looked towards the teaching building.

The mottled teaching building, standing in the darkness, looks like a product of the last century.

The little girl floated towards the stairs, and with a whoosh, she floated into the building without any hindrance.

“Damn it, without a physical body, how can you physically pass through walls?” Ren Ye was speechless: “Isn’t this just cheating? Who can hide this! Hey… Brother Hong is so smart, he placed three more ghosts in the teaching building…!

He suddenly felt that there was a soul fire beating in the building.

On the third floor of the teaching building, Brother Hong hid beside a window, holding his breath, motionless.

"Uncle, where are you hiding... Hehe, I really want to see you."

An ethereal voice echoed in the empty teaching building. It seemed like there were footsteps, but also like there weren't.

Brother Hong squatted on the spot with a frown on his face, sweating profusely. He always felt that the little girl was already beside him and might appear at any time.

"Hey, you're not an uncle... you're an aunt. But why are you hiding in the porcelain bottle and crying...!"

The little girl seemed to have found the first porcelain bottle containing soul fire.

"Woooo...!"

The sound of the female ghost crying became clearer and clearer.

"You are so pitiful... Let me help you get rid of it...!" The little girl's sigh rang out.

"what!!!"

The female ghost in the porcelain bottle suddenly let out a miserable howl, and then stopped abruptly.

"Clap!"

The porcelain bottle shattered and the ghost girl's voice disappeared completely.

"Damn it, we can't stay in the building. That little girl seems to be able to clearly sense all the soul fires. We have to move away!" Brother Hong's hair stood on end. He leaped onto the windowsill and jumped directly down from the building.

After he came outside, he immediately looked around and finally fixed his eyes on the yellow line.

"Whoosh!"

Brother Hong ran as fast as he could, his figure almost completely disappearing as he rushed to a small basketball stand. He then leaped lightly and directly jumped onto the backboard and squatted down.

After entering into meditation, he also took invisibility pills and fake-death pills, which made his body completely hidden in darkness and motionless.

After doing all this, he looked down at his watch and saw that there were about three minutes left before the class bell rang.

Ren was also in the blue truck and witnessed Hong Ge's operation with his own eyes. After careful reasoning, he found that if he were him, he would probably be able to do the same.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the screams of soul fire could be heard from time to time in the teaching building.

"Hold on, you can win!!"

Ren also cheered for Brother Hong in his heart.

"brush!"

Above the backboard, Brother Hong stared at his watch and saw that the time had already reached 9:44:50.

Ten seconds left!

"call!"

Brother Hong let out a long sigh: "10!"

"9!"

"8!"

"7!"

"...!"

"3!"

"brush!"

When there were only three numbers left, Brother Hong suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on his back.

He suddenly looked back and saw a pale little face appearing behind him.

She tilted her head and said with a smile: "Uncle, I found you...!"

Brother Hong was shocked instantly: "Fuck, let me explain...!"

"Hehe, you lose!"

In the darkness, a sound like a copper bell rang out.

Suddenly, the little girl's hair flew off, and her scarlet scalp was exposed. Her cheeks began to fester, and her facial features became blurred. Blood gushed out from her left face, revealing her white bones...

The face quickly decayed and rotted away...only half of the scarlet mouth was left saying: "If you lose, you will die! Stay here with me forever!"

"brush!"

The sound floated in the quiet playground, and the little girl slowly raised her right hand and gently clenched her fist.

"Bang!!!"

As soon as the words came out, Brother Hong's body instantly exploded on the backboard, turning into countless blood mist and minced meat, floating in all directions.

"what!!"

Brother Hong’s screams echoed throughout the campus. His half-shattered head slammed heavily to the ground like a rotten watermelon, with blood gushing out.

Ren was dumbfounded, his scalp tingling: "A... a third-level captain, and he's already... ga... ga, what the hell?!"

Ding Ling Ling——!!

The school bell rang.
