I Wasn't Born Lucky

Xu Ying stared at him blankly.

Xiao Li continued: "You know the truth, then what?"

Xu Ying didn't speak, she already understood what the other party meant - even if she already knew the truth here, the task was still not completed, and the so-called ghost game hadn't started yet.

Xu Ying's excited heart was poured with a basin of cold water, and it was completely cold. She brushed aside the strands of hair that had stuck to her cheeks because of her rush, quickly adjusted her mentality, and changed her tone: "You're right. , The truth doesn’t mean anything, you are also a smart person, we can work together. To show my sincerity, I can first tell you the truth I know.”

Next, she stated her speculation about the orphanage, which was exactly the same as what Xiao Li thought.

The orphanage during the day is what it used to be, a trace that has been lost in the years, but at night, it is real.

Zhu Fei sponsored the orphanage, but secretly used it to do some illegal activities. They took the orphans they liked to the psychological counseling room to check them, and conducted experiments secretly. In the name of "I was taken away from the orphanage and sent to the mansions of the rich, or to the hospital.

The information in the psychological consultation room, marked with a triangle mark, is a suitable match, and will be taken to the corresponding black market for processing after discharge from the hospital, while the tick mark means that the appearance is favored by the rich and used as playthings.

Under Zhu Fei's long-term manipulation, an industrial chain has formed underground in this Fengcheng orphanage, bringing him huge benefits—until the ghost returns.

Those ghosts have turned the orphanage into another hell.

"It's just that the ghost game mentioned in mission 2 hasn't happened so far." Xu Ying looked at Xiao Li, thinking of what the other party said before, and speculated, "You said before that you were playing backgammon with a ghost. Is it a ghost game? The way to survive is to let us go out and take risks alone?"

Xiao Li shook his head: "If this counts, I have already returned to reality."

"That's right, the task won't be so simple." Xu Ying said with some disappointment, "Do you have any thoughts on this?"

Xiao Li raised a finger, and spit out a syllable from his lips: "Wait."

It can be said that the first day they came in was calm, but the psychological counseling room appeared on the second day. It was impossible for them to delay the fifth day, so tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, there would be a wave of murderous intentions.

Xu Ying wanted to say something more, but Xiao Li had already walked out of the reading room without looking back.

There is no signal on the mobile phone here, and there is no way to play games. Xiao Li just wants to rest early.

It was destined to be an unsettled night. The selected part of the reincarnated people died in the hands of ghosts, and the part that escaped was also taken away by the monsters in the gray mist. There are really not many doors—even so, they still have to endure the strange movements in the house after nightfall.

Many people stayed up almost all night, and did not fall asleep until the sun came out and everything returned to normal.

However, they did not expect that on the third day, the so-called ghost game kicked off.

After nightfall on the third day, a voice rang out to everyone: "Today, let's play a game, let's play together."

"Let's play... hide-and-seek, okay? I will count to three hundred seconds, you can hide as you like, and I will find you one by one—the ones I catch, stay with me, okay?"

This voice was cold and immature, with an indiscriminate hoarseness, Xiao Li recognized it immediately, it sounded very similar to the boy's voice in the reading room - only much colder.

At that moment, the boundless thick fog thickened, and even drifted into the room, rendering everything in colors of despair and fear.

This is destined to be a time-consuming game, because the ghost has not set an end time, that is, until the five-day mission deadline arrives, and this mission is almost impossible to complete.

At the playground of the orphanage, in the boundless fog, there was a small figure standing there. He covered his eyes and counted loudly: "One, two, three..."

The reincarnators in the dormitory started to commotion, some fled out in a panic, and some quickly ran to the place they thought of. In the last room on the first floor, the little fat man was opening the closet in a panic, trying to hide himself. go in.

Xiao Li stood aside and looked at him for a while, until the fat man completely hid his fertile body in the cabinet, even though his body was covered with the smelly blood on the wall, he did not waver, Xiao Li said: " Are you hiding here?"

The little fat man reached out to hold the door, and said solemnly: "Youdao is the most dangerous place and the safest place. This is the dormitory and the place where the opening CG is located. It is very conspicuous and safe! I Last time I just stayed where I was, but the ghosts didn’t come back to where they were, so they came back to life!”

When Sun Ang said this, he hesitated for a moment: "You...do you want to come in together?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the puppet lying in Xiao Li's pocket all the time, with only one head exposed. Those terrifying eyes still surround him in his midnight nightmare.While scolding himself for being so kind, the little fat man immediately shook his head violently: "Forget it, I can't squeeze in here, ha ha."

Xiao Li: "..."

He closed the closet door for Sun Ang expressionlessly, and walked out of the dormitory by himself.

hide and seek……

Can anyone really play hide-and-seek with ghosts?

What's more, the time is still so long, human beings always have to eat, drink and sleep, and ghosts who are "ghosts" are almost invincible, plus they have to win from "hide-and-seek", how can they win?How can I not be caught by ghosts?

Dormitory, counseling room, toy room, canteen, reading room...

These places flashed before Xiao Li's eyes, but were crossed out again. He always felt that he had missed something, but he couldn't remember it.

Xiao Li stopped on the spot and thought for a while, but in the end he didn't know what to do, and only walked towards the building.

In this situation, Xiao Huang Ben worked tirelessly: [Hide-and-seek is not fun, if you want, we can play something more fun. 】

[Such as bed games. 】

[I think it's okay. 】

But Xiao Li felt it was impossible.

The dark-haired child didn't stop at all, he walked lightly in the darkness, like a dexterous cat.

"56, 57, 58..."

The number in the mouth of the ghost on the playground keeps increasing, echoing in the empty yard, an invisible force amplifies its voice, and it spreads to everyone's ears, and they are more anxious to find their own hiding place place.

In the boundless panic and fear, some people choose to hide in the toilet cubicle, some choose to stuff themselves into a small cabinet, and some choose the corner of the quiet room——

"...290 eight, 290 nine, three hundred."

When counting to three hundred, the small figure on the playground put down his hands covering his eyes, turned around, and swooped towards the building.

-

In the utility room of the main building, there is a small box, hidden under a pile of blood-stained clothes, covered with dust.

Inside this box, a person was squeezed.

His hands and feet curled up together, and his whole body arched into an almost impossible arc.Because of this twisted posture, he felt a dull pain in the bent part, like a needle prick, and this pain increased with the passage of time, but he didn't dare to come out, and he didn't dare to move.

Just bear it for a while, bear it for a while, hide in this kind of place, no matter how good the ghost's eyes are, he will definitely not be able to find him.

Thinking like this, the man breathed slowly, enduring the stinging pain.

With the passage of time, he seemed to hear some movement, but it was not clear, which made him tense up.

It won't be discovered, definitely not, it's just the traces of the wind, or other people passing by.

However, what God didn't want was that the noise from the rubbing of the clothes was getting closer and closer to him, as if... entered this room.

But after entering this room, there was no more movement.

The person inside the box stayed quietly for a while, until he couldn't hold on any longer, and wanted to open the box for some air, but just as he was struggling to squeeze himself out of the box, when he looked up, he saw the picture on the box. Pale face.

It belonged to a child, and it just looked at the person coming out of the box: "I caught you, you lost."

The same thing happened in the cafeteria in a few moments.

There is a reincarnated person who chooses to hide in the soup bucket in the cooking place behind the cafeteria. The iron bucket is big, and he is thin and small, so he can perfectly hide in and hide himself without suffering.

At the very beginning, he was a little proud of his choice, but soon, he heard a loud noise——

Someone kicked down the iron bucket he was hiding in, and it hit the ground with a loud clang.

He fell on the ground, and before he had time to climb out of the iron bucket, he saw that nightmarish face: "You lost."

-

On the other side, near the toilet on a certain floor, there was a child with pimples all over his face, panting desperately, with cold sweat falling down his face.

If the muscular man is not dead, then he must have recognized the man who pushed him towards the ghost.

The pimple man was followed by someone who was his partner in action. They were hiding near the utility room, but after hearing the screams from the utility room, they moved their positions.

But they didn't get rid of the footsteps behind them as they wished, the ghost followed them not too far away, playing with them like a cat catching a mouse.

Can't go on like this--

The pimple man stretched out one hand to grab the person beside him, and mercilessly pushed him towards the ghost behind him under his surprised gaze, while he crazily turned around the corner with that resistance.

Don't blame him, the pimple man thought to himself, he is too stupid to try to form a team in this kind of world.

The ghost grabbed the reincarnation who was falling towards him: "You lost."

The acne man took the opportunity to get rid of the ghost, he ran a long distance, and then he stopped slowly and gasped for his knees: "It seems that this method is quite useful, I have to find another ghost to keep by my side... ..."

He tidied his clothes and headed for the stairs again.

Perhaps it was his luck that he saw a strange figure in the corridor in front of the stairs. He rushed up immediately and said to the figure, "You are also looking for a hiding place, shall we? I know a good place."

That figure was Xiao Li.

Xiao Li turned slightly to one side, avoiding the hand that the other party wanted to reach, and shook his head.

"In this place, we need to help together, little brother, don't be so cold." The acne man persuaded with a smile.

His smile made Xiao Li feel sick for no reason, and he said coldly, "Go away."

"You—" The acne man wanted to say something more, but he heard the frightening footsteps coming from behind him again, his eyes turned red, and he had no time to think about other things, so he stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Li's arm, trying to repeat the old trick .

His speed was too fast, Xiao Li didn't react for a moment, but the puppet in his pocket reacted extremely quickly, she stretched out a hand - after the originally small arm got out of the pocket, Turning into the size of a real person Tan Li, he grabbed the pimple man by the neck and threw him in the direction of the sound of footsteps.

Xiao Li didn't stop, he touched the little head protruding from the puppet in his pocket thoughtfully, and walked around the ghost from the front.

He didn't want to meet the ghost just yet—until he thought of a solution.

Hide and seek, the orphanage.

What is he neglected?

Unlike other people who wanted to find a hiding place to hide, Xiao Li walked in the corridors in a dignified manner, passing one door after another——when he passed the psychological consultation room, his steps paused, his gaze Quickly move away from the closed door.

If Xiao Li was forced to choose a place to hide, he would also choose the counseling room.

For no other reason, this is where the kids are checked.

If the ghosts raging here are really the ghosts of the orphans, then they may be afraid of the psychological counseling room at the beginning of everything.

Just like Xu Ying who chose to hide inside at this time, she was squatting under the chair behind the screen, trying to minimize her sense of existence, holding her breath and listening to the slightest movement outside the door.

When the footsteps outside the door stopped, Xu Ying felt her internal organs were twisted together.

——But this is not Xiao Li's destination, what he wants to go to is the toy room, to see if the invisible ghost that has been there all along is still there.

He passed the counseling room, continued walking, and came to the door of the toy room.

Inside, as always, the toys were piled together, but the teddy bear was gone.

Xiao Li tried calling a few times, but nothing happened.

So to say--

Is it playing a big game of hide and seek?

In the game of hide and seek, ghosts are ghosts, and the rule is that they cannot be caught by ghosts. People are people, and people need to avoid ghosts. Once they are caught, they lose. If they want to win, they can only hide successfully...

hide.

Passive hiding is the mission 1 of the reincarnators. They must survive for a week, so there must be a corresponding mission 2, the other side that can win, the antonym of hiding-active attack?

Switch the positions of humans and ghosts, why can't humans be ghosts?

Games can be changed.

According to the rules, both parties are equal.

As long as you propose to change the rules and let people be "ghosts" before the ghost catches you, and then catch the ghost-you can win.

Xiao Li curled his lips, and said to himself in the mirror in the toy room, "Next, let's find it."

In an empty building, finding ghosts is actually not so easy, but Xiao Li picked out a screaming chicken from the pile of toys in the toy room.

Screaming chicken can't do anything else, but making noise is first-class.

So in this silent night, Xiao Li rubbed the "ahhhh" screaming chicken and walked back along the way, leaving deep shadows and doubts on the reincarnated people hiding around...

With the Screaming Chicken's fifth effort, Xiao Li saw a shadow ahead - he threw the Screaming Chicken out, and immediately said: "Wait a minute, I want to switch roles, I'll be a ghost, you Come on, I'll catch you."

The movement of the ghost on the opposite side suddenly froze in mid-air, and did not directly grab Xiao Li.

At that moment, Xiao Li knew that his guess was right.

Xiao Li continued: "I'll count to three, three, two, one—"

Under the surprised gaze of the ghost, Xiao Li quickly finished counting with his eyes closed, and rushed over to grab its wrist: "I caught you."

The pupils of the black-haired child revealed a smile, which was the light of another world, and he said again: "I won."

The ghost caught by his arm looked straight at him. It hadn't been in contact with human body temperature for a long time, and some images flashed through its pupils without whites.

At that moment, Xiao Li only felt that he was caught in a long memory fragment, and he glimpsed some of the ghost's past.

It was a gloomy and introverted little boy named Zhou Ying, who had lived here since he was very young.He always wears very long pot bangs, and he is timid, so he doesn't have many friends. There are only two children who are willing to play with him, and one of them is Ni Ke.

Zhou Ying doesn't have a strong sense of existence. Except for the occasional beating by the educators, those adults selectively ignore him. He likes to read and always finds a corner to read quietly. Therefore, he found that Some clues were found - those who were adopted out never came back.

And one time under the window of the psychological consultation room, he held his book and lowered his head, and heard cries and struggles from inside.

At that time, the little girl inside cried and struggled: "Let go of me, teacher, I'm in so much pain."

He broke in, was thrown out by Teacher Wang and locked up. He was deprived of food for three days and almost starved to death.

The news that Zhou Ying made a big mistake was spread, and other people alienated him even more, and never took him with him when playing games. Zhou Ying is very young. Although he loves to read books, he also loves to play, but no one plays with him up.

Only Ni Ke and another child Qian San are willing to contact him, but the fate is always absurd, and then the bad luck is Ni Ke's turn.

Zhou Ying tried to tell the other party the truth, but Ni Ke didn't believe it, she happily followed the teacher away, and there was no news again.

And because Zhou Ying knew about this incident, he has been regarded as an insecure person by the higher-ups. During a fire drill, he was locked in the toy room under the pretext of Mr. Wang. No one came to rescue him, so he was hungry and sleepy. Turn into a ghost and return for revenge.

The little yellow book appeared in the air again, with thin golden threads entwined around Zhou Ying, and a photo belonging to a little boy appeared on the cover side by side with Tan Li.

[Reincarnator Xiao Li completed the original task 80, evaluation level S, task completion rate 1000%, successfully rubbed ghost Zhou Ying, and obtained [-] survival coins.

[The scene is changing. 】

【3, 2, 1—】

【I can too. 】

[Why didn't you find me. 】

[A little...jealous. 】

Xiao Huangben put away the golden light and the ghost, and disappeared in place together with Xiao Li's figure.

No one knew that in the director's room of the orphanage, a figure was sitting on the sofa in a leisurely manner.

The man's eyes passed through the building, and he directly saw the scene inside the building. He played with his slender fingers, and his lips curved upwards in a slight arc, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

— This person is still so popular.

It's just a copy, and there's another one.

This is actually a good thing, but—the blood in his bones is cold after all, he not only wants to get him, but also wants to monopolize him.

In a cold room, something is about to come out.

The author has something to say: Tan Li: I occupy the left pocket, and the big boss occupies the right pocket, so you can take care of it yourself.

Zhou Ying: ... (shaking suddenly)
