The singing is soft, with penetrating power, floating in the dense forest, eerie and weird, it is obviously a children's song full of childishness, but it makes people feel hairy for no reason.

Chu Xiu had previously proposed to let everyone go separately, but now he ran into Lu Yanli for some reason, he hesitated for a few seconds between splitting up and trying to see if the other party had a good idea, and decided to take a gamble and trot a few steps to keep up with the other party.

Lu Yanli was thinking of a way to break the situation.

It's not that he doesn't suspect that Chu Xiu in front of him may be a ghost in disguise, but in the current situation where he has no clue, even if the person in front of him is a ghost, before he violates the killing mechanism, he can get some useful information from the other party.

What's more, he has already made a wish to that god, he wants to live completely, and this wish should still be valid.

"Do you have any ideas?" Chu Xiu asked a few steps away from him.

Lu Yanli said as he walked, "Why are you forced to play horror games, right? What are the rules of your game this time?"

Chu Xiu answered directly without hesitation: "When we arrive at Yinming Road, we will play a game of hide-and-seek for no less than 10 minutes after midnight. One of them will be selected as a ghost by drawing poker cards, and he will be responsible for catching the rest of the participants. When more than half the number of participants, the ghost wins..."

At first glance, the rules are the same as ordinary hide-and-seek games, which is why Nie Yunzhen decided to choose more people to participate. The more people there are, the harder it is for the "ghost" to catch half of the participants.He never expected that this move would almost bring him to a dead end.

"Will the game last for half an hour?" Lu Yanli fell into deep thought.

It doesn't sound long, and it is beneficial to the player side, provided that...there is only one ghost instead of eleven.

He was still thinking about the disappearance of 24 bodies from the police station.

24 corpses... Among them, the test results of the skulls were the same, showing that they were the same person. He could easily think that because of the "God"'s wish, the constant resurrection caused them to fall into an infinite crisis of death. A strange phenomenon in the same time and space.

After he made a wish to God, he restarted many, many times, but no matter which choice he made, it was a dead end in the end.In the end, Chu Xiu was asked to go back to the beginning and avoid Wen Qing and Yun Qian, so that he could continue.

Now there are identical skulls... Could it be that one of them is also caught in this cycle?

who?

There were 11 students who came to play hide-and-seek, three from Chu Xiushi, Yan Nie Yunzhen, including himself, four.It's not quite right by any measure.

Lu Yanli expressed his conjecture, and Chu Xiu also thought hard.

He also made wishes several times, and even killed himself playing the four-corner game in the abandoned factory on Yinming Road.After thinking about it, there is only this answer.

Who is trapped in reincarnation?

The authorities were obsessed, they didn't ask about the names of the other two students, they subconsciously believed that Wen Qing and Yun Qian must be together and included in the 11 people, which made them unable to figure out why there were 24 bones.

Whose are the extra two?

The "dead" students are still singing, and the crisp and tender singing voices are everywhere, so that their attempts to identify their positions through singing have failed, and they can only walk blindly.

In the other direction, after Zhang Dan separated from the others, he continued to speed up his pace.

Don't... don't come after me!

Although there is only one Yinming Road, it covers a very wide area. Zhang Dan has a pretty good memory. When he came, he memorized the route clearly, and ran in one direction without turning his head.

While running, there was a figure in school uniform in front of her, standing not far away. Zhang Dan was startled. She was not sure who it was, and immediately turned around and fled in another direction.

That figure was also planning to run away, but it turned out that the other person ran away, probably the same as himself, so he hurriedly chased after him, shouting as he ran, "Don't be afraid! It's me, I'm not a ghost."

Zhang Dan recognized his voice, he was the loudest one when we came together on the bus, and I didn't hear his screams just now, probably... maybe not?

The feeling of escaping alone is very uncomfortable. Zhang Dan was already able to hold on, but now it seems that it is good to have an exclusive partner who can strengthen his courage.

Thinking of this, her pace slowed down a bit.

Seeing the scene, the other party hastened to speed up: "How about we go together?"

The moment he was about to approach, the temperature plummeted, and Zhang Dan suddenly felt palpitations for no reason. She subconsciously chose to trust her intuition, and her body was already running forward before she fully recovered.The distance between the two widened again.

"Hey, why are you running? I'm not a ghost! Wait for me!" The boy was in a hurry, chasing and shouting.

Zhang Dan was also anxious: "Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid they won't be able to attract you?"

The boy's voice lowered immediately: "Aren't I afraid that you will run away? Wait for me, I got separated from them."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Dan was skeptical, no matter how he looked at the other party, he didn't look like a ghost. He suspected that the palpitations just now might be caused by something else, and he was afraid that he would yell again to attract people, so he had no choice but to stop: "Stop shouting, I'll stop and explain to you."

"Okay." The boy ran up to her in a few steps, "You are really too courageous, I really can't bear it by myself."

It was dark at night just now, Zhang Dan didn't see very clearly at all, he could only vaguely see the face of the other party, now that he was getting closer, his outline became more and more clear, Zhang Dan suddenly suffocated his breath.

He was smiling at himself, but his entire body from the neck down...was clearly on his back!

It's almost like a person's head is turned 180 degrees.

Is it possible for a normal person to do it?

Zhang Dan wanted to run, but found that her legs were too weak due to excessive fear. If she didn't have the last bit of mental support, she would have collapsed to the ground immediately.

"You're running too fast. I can't catch up with you like this." The boy was still laughing. He seemed to have noticed something was wrong. With a oops, he quickly turned around and turned his head back to face her, and then, With a snap of his hands, he turned his head straight and looked at Zhang Dan again.

He stared at Zhang Dan with a grin, his face gradually turning pale, and blood oozing from his school uniform.

"Found another one, hee hee..."

The next moment, the girl's scream resounded through the forest.

"Another one was found." Chu Xiu was in a serious mood.

Hearing the screams, Lu Yanli was thoughtful instead: "Have you seen those students?"

Chu Xiu shook his head: "I passed out in a coma, and I didn't see it."

"Those students should look like normal people in front of Nie Yunzhen and Shi Yan, otherwise they wouldn't believe it. Now there are several possibilities, one is that the screams belong to their disguise, they want us to believe that they are still human, It’s just that we met a ghost, which led us to find those students and let us protect them.”

"The second is that these students have not recovered their memory of death, and they will really recall it when they are caught. In this case, protecting them is the way out."

Chu Xiu nodded in agreement. Thinking of the nature of the task, he couldn't help adding: "There is another possibility."

"what?"

"In order to balance the difficulty, the dead students screamed, so that we can hear where one of the ghosts is, and we know that the number of ghosts has increased by one more."

Since the number of ghosts can be increased by "killing" classmates, other aspects will be somewhat weakened, otherwise the game cannot be played at all.Chu Xiu recalled the balance point of previous missions, and guessed that the weakness of this game is that ghosts cannot find themselves like real ghosts.

Otherwise, if it randomly performs operations such as teleportation and mind-reading confusion, it is completely impossible for its own side to survive.

Of course, the chances of them escaping would be very low if they met head-on, so they had to avoid all the "students" now.

"So, do we need to find those students?" Chu Xiu asked.

His subtext: try to reduce the number of ghosts?

Lu Yanli thought for a moment: "It's better not to take risks, who knows what mechanism will be triggered to remind them?"

He looked up at the sky that was completely covered by dark clouds: "How long are you going to finish?"

Chu Xiu: "Ten and eight minutes." But the faces of the two of them did not soften because of the shortening of time, but became more dignified.

The current ghosts can't play a big role directly, they can only find them like ordinary people.What will happen when the game is declared over and these ghosts are no longer bound by the rules?

Can they really escape?

At the other end of the woods, the other students who are still hiding feel sorry for each other.

what to do?Zhang Dan is also dead!

They shouldn't have come to play hide and seek!It's just to die!

What they didn't see was that after Zhang Dan screamed, the boy walked over and lightly touched the other person's head.Then, Zhang Dan's head fell off his neck, and Gu Lulu rolled into the darkness.

Without his head, Zhang Dan was not in a hurry, walking side by side with the boy humming a song.

They changed another nursery rhyme and sang it happily.

At the other end, Ling Weiwei heard the screams, her legs were so frightened that her legs went limp, and she fell directly on the tree beside her. She couldn't help it anymore, sobbing and crying: "I don't want to run anymore, when are we going to run?" It's the head?...Why is it like this..."

No matter how much Huang Yuanwang likes Ling Weiwei, it's for this reason. His own life must be important. What's more, he is just a little boyish affection that was born because of the other party's good looks. It is impossible to say how deep the relationship is. The anxious and frightened mood became more anxious because the other party stopped crying.

"No, what's the use of crying? Hurry up, when is it time to expect others to coax you?" He said impatiently.

"But...Zhang Dan is dead." Ling Weiwei burst into tears, "I'm so scared...I miss her so much..."

"If you miss her, you can keep her by yourself." Huang Yuanwang cursed in a low voice, then turned around and was about to leave.

These ghosts can actually sing, and it’s so strange to sing to them when they usually listen to songs that don’t matter. Under another tree, at this moment, I suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Why... the singing seems to be coming from above?

What's on the tree?

He raised his head and looked up.

A pale head met his gaze, smiled at him, and then the head fell to the ground, bouncing and jumping on him.

"Run... run!!" Huang Yuanwang's brain buzzed, he stretched out his hand to grab Ling Weiwei and ran, he didn't know why, he clearly planned to escape by himself, but subconsciously pulled Ling Weiwei.

Ling Weiwei also knew the importance of the matter, so she ran while wiping away her tears.The song still lingered, singing endlessly around them.

At night, the cold and wet wind passed by the ears of the two running at a high speed, and rows of trees retreated behind them.Ling Weiwei was extremely tired, but she didn't dare to stop, she was afraid that if she stopped, she would be able to see the head when she turned around.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the singing gradually weakened, and Huang Yuanwang couldn't run anymore. The two slowly changed from running to walking, panting and moving forward.

"Sure, shouldn't you be chasing me any more?" Ling Weiwei gasped for breath, she felt her throat was dry and the pain was severe, if Huang Yuanwang hadn't supported her, she would have fallen to the ground.

Huang Yuanwang also had lingering fears in his heart: "Is it gone?" He turned his head to look at Ling Weiwei, and this glance made his heart tighten and his whole body stiffened.

Ling Weiwei was bending down to breathe. This posture... It can be clearly seen that Zhang Dan's head is attached to her back, but for some reason, she didn't notice it. She just kept breathing heavily, and kept looking back to see if there was any catch up.

As soon as Ling Weiwei turned around, that head smiled towards her.

At that moment, Huang Yuanwang understood why they didn't hear the singing at close range, because Zhang Dan bit Ling Weiwei's hair and hung it behind her without opening his mouth.

Huang Yuanwang couldn't even hold his breath, goosebumps quickly spread from his arms to his back, he called Ling Weiwei's name tremblingly, and the other party turned his head suspiciously.Huang Yuanwang was ruthless and pushed the opponent hard. Ling Weiwei, who was defenseless, was pushed to the ground by him, and could only watch the opponent run away.

"What are you doing? Wait for me!" Ling Weiwei wanted to get up, but found that her ankle was sprained. She was so angry and anxious that she shed tears.

A soft singing sounded from behind again.

"Find and search and find a friend... find a good friend..."

Ling Weiwei froze.

No, that voice... was right next to her ear!

She turned her head away.

On his shoulder, the pale and blue head showed a sinister smile at her.

There were screams in the forest again.

"Another one died." Chu Xiu calculated, frowning even tighter.

It's been less than 5 minutes.

Lu Yanli also kept thinking, deducing a plan to break the situation.

They turned a corner and were taken aback for a moment.

He actually bumped into Shi Yan?

Shi Yan ran away subconsciously, and Chu Xiu stopped her: "Don't run away, don't worry, we are both human, and now we need you to explain the details clearly. Otherwise, we can't think of a way."

Shi Yan also knew that she and Nie Yunzhen were responsible for the sudden increase in the difficulty of the game. She couldn't tell whether the other party was a human or a ghost, but the tone made her feel familiar, so she gritted her teeth and started from the beginning.

"So, you gave each of them a playing card, didn't you?" Chu Xiu was thoughtful,

He didn't have any poker cards, and neither did Lu Yanli.Chu Xiu asked again: "Where's your card?"

Shi Yan took it out of her pocket, handed it over, and pursed her lips: "I want to throw it away, but I can't throw it away, I can't tear it off, even if I bury it in the soil, after running for a while, It came back to me at some point."

Lu Yanli interrupted abruptly: "Did you come across those things just now?"

Shi Yan nodded.

She naturally figured it out. If those classmates hadn't died, they wouldn't have remembered the fact that she was once a ghost. Therefore, she just tricked someone into protecting her from disasters.

"It makes sense, Chu Xiu and I haven't met before." But if they go with Shi Yan who has poker cards, that's not necessarily the case.

Shi Yan shook her head: "No, that's not right, if Brother Chu doesn't have poker cards on you, it means you didn't participate in the game." They all knew what kind of terrible punishment they would face if they didn't complete the task.

Chu Xiu frowned when he heard the words: "Did you give me the poker cards?" While groping on his body while talking, Shi Yan shook his head again: "No, I only dealt thirteen cards." Draw out a poker card.

"What? How is this possible? I didn't deal you a card at all!" Shi Yan's eyes widened.

Chu Xiu tried to tear it, and found that it was not broken at all as Shi Yan said, so he said casually: "Maybe it was the game that gave it to me."

Perhaps, it was because of this card that those ghosts could find them.I have not met it purely because of luck.

Seeing this, Lu Yanli also looked for it from himself. Fortunately, he didn't find it. Seeing that the two people around him were frowning over that card, something suddenly popped up in his mind, and he immediately said, "Wait, tell me the rules just now. Repeat!"

Seeing that the other party seemed inspired, Shi Yan hurriedly recounted the rules. When she said, "People who are caught must consciously hand over their playing cards", her eyes lit up suddenly.Looking at Chu Xiu again, he also showed a relieved expression.

This may be their way of life!

"The problem now is how to hand over the playing cards to those ghosts."

In front of living people, would they choose to ask for playing cards?

This question troubled them, and Lu Yanli was also thinking about the 24 missing corpses in the police station. He remembered two key figures, and asked again: "Chu Xiu told me that you chose Yun Qian to be the ghost. What about Wen Qing?"

"Wen Qing? What Wen Qing? There is no one named Wen Qing among those students?" Shi Yan wondered,

This sentence caused both of them to cast their gazes over.

"You don't know Wen Qing?!"

"I don't know." Shi Yan said honestly and softly.

"Who is there among the students? Tell me."

As she recounted the list of students, Chu Xiu and Lu Yanli looked at each other again, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Wen Qing didn't come?

Half an hour is almost over.

Those ghosts couldn't wait any longer, and screams sounded one after another in the dense forest.Afterwards, those students who had just been killed by their classmates also turned into ghosts with pale and stiff faces, looking for others.

Wen Qing ran on the path in the woods, looking back while running away, no matter how courageous she was, she couldn't help but be afraid when facing a dozen ghosts who were her classmates.

She hadn't expected at all that those classmates had all become...

How to do?What should she do? !

Shouldn't he be the only living person?

The more Wen Qing thought about it, the more anxious she became, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration.

No, what those students said before was that there were two people who didn't dare to play games, so let them accompany them.

Who are these two people?

Is it possible that they are still alive?

With this thought in mind, Wen Qing felt that her current goal was to find those two people. For this reason, she looked around while running.Little did they know, those people were also talking about themselves.

At this time, the killing in the forest had entered the final stage. Unbeknownst to Wen Qing, only herself and four others were still alive.

Eleven ghosts finally gathered together, and now, their targets--all of them are Wen Qing!They want to reunite the last classmate with themselves.

"Give the playing cards to the ghost... let the ghost get the playing cards..." Lu Yanli thought hard.

Only by handing over the poker cards can you win, but facing ghosts is almost certain to die. After the time is over, the rules of the game no longer exist, ghosts are no longer suppressed, and people are also powerless to resist.

What is the way of life?

Repeat, 24 corpses...

Lu Yanli raised his head abruptly and stared at Chu Xiu: "Do you still remember the Four Corners game?"

"Of course I remember." As soon as the voice fell, he also realized it.

The factory where the four-corner game is played, if nothing else, the Chuxiu who plays the four-corner game...maybe still playing in it!

Shi Yan was confused when he heard it: "What four-corner game, haven't we played it before?"

"It doesn't matter so much, let's go to that factory first. If we find the factory, there may be clues."

Seeing that they were in a hurry, Shi Yan didn't object, Xiao Pao followed them, and ran towards the factory.

"You said, is it feasible to replace the current self with another self inside?" Chu Xiu whimsically said, "I know myself very well, and I will definitely resist desperately."

"Then kill them." Lu Yanli didn't blink his eyelids, "By the way, remember to kill a few more and replace ours."

While running forward, a figure running in the opposite direction appeared at the intersection ahead.

It's Wen Qing!

Wen Qing saw three people on the opposite side. She didn't know whether these three people were human or ghosts, so she squeezed the amulet tightly on her body, and ran over to ask: "May I ask if you are playing hide-and-seek?"

"Yes, who are you?" Shi Yan replied.

"My name is Wen Qing, and I'm here to find my classmates." Wen Qing finally stopped after running until now, and waved his hands tiredly, "Be careful, my classmates are all dead."

She breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes full of sadness: "You shouldn't have come to this place, Yinming Road, you should go back quickly."

Lu Yanli looked down at his watch.

Time is running out, only a few minutes away from half an hour.He didn't have much patience for clichés anymore, he stepped forward and looked into Wen Qing's eyes: "Don't worry, tell me, what did you see just now?"

His voice was very gentle, and he looked straight into the other's eyes, with an indescribable sense of confusion in his eyes.

Wen Qing soon became confused, and told all the scenes she saw.

Twelve skeletons... the playing cards placed on the corpses...

Lu Yanli heaved a sigh of relief.

He finally got some ideas.

"Now, take us there and find the place where you saw the bones."

Wen Qing nodded ignorantly: "OK."

Surprisingly, they didn't run into a single ghost.

It seems that these ghosts are waiting for the moment when the rules completely fail.

The group of four quickly arrived at the place Wen Qing had checked just now.Before he got close, Wen Qing reached out to touch the poker card he had taken away, but found nothing, and took out a new poker card from another pocket instead.

"This, this is..." She hastily defended, "I didn't lie to you, I really took out four playing cards just now."

"You didn't, we know."

Because the eleven playing cards were neatly placed in the center of each skeleton.

Only one.

Twelve corpses and twelve students corresponded.

The last one was Wen Qing herself.

No, not right.

What about the four of them?

In the factory, you may still see another Chuxiu playing games under the chaos of time and space, but what about the others?

Where can I find a replacement?

This question also lingered in Chu Xiu's mind.

He doesn't mind facing the death of his teammate, but as Lu Yanli is a special existence in the mission world, he doesn't want to see him die.Of course, he didn't know yet that his thoughts in this aspect were influenced by Lu Yanli's hypnosis.

In short, he must find a way so that everyone can escape.

Half an hour away, only the last 3 minutes.

Lu Yanli suddenly looked at the intersection.

He suddenly recalled what he saw when he drove past the same off-road vehicle, the four bones on the vehicle.

Just right, the quantity corresponds.

This is the way of life provided by the mission!

"Quick! Let's go to the intersection now!"
