After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle - Chapter 61
“The rules of the “Wooden Man” game are very simple. The students who participate in the game stand at the starting point, which is here.” The female teacher stepped on the red line in the middle of the classroom with high heels and gestured, “After the game starts, I will stand with my eyes closed. At the end of the classroom, in front of the window, you try to move as fast as possible to the end as I close my eyes. ”
“But pay attention, try not to make too much noise during the movement. When I turn my head and open my eyes, you must not move, make any sounds, or make any expressions like wooden people in my sight. It’s completely static.”
“Students who can’t do it are regarded as a failed game. The other wooden people continue to play until I turn my head and close my eyes. You can continue to move,” the female teacher said, twisting her neck khaki without moving her neck. One hundred and eighty degrees, “As long as there is a wooden man who successfully moves to the end, he can get the reminder of the school rules tonight.”
Although the twisted neck of the female teacher made people shudder, the last rule gave everyone hope.
This “Wooden Man” game does not seem to be that difficult. From the point of view of the rules, as long as one person successfully reaches the finish line, it will pass smoothly. Receiving a reward means that everyone can know the answer to the taboo.
“I don’t know if the students know the rules. Remember, no matter what happens in my line of sight, it must be absolutely prohibited.”
Chi Nan asked: “Why does the starting point start in the middle of the classroom instead of where we stand now?”
According to customary thinking, the starting point is often at the entrance, so as to ensure that there is enough space for the game.
Female teacher: “As long as the classroom is spacious enough, it will be the same wherever you start.”
Guo Xian: “The longer the distance, the more unfavorable to us. It is better to start from the middle.”
Everyone thinks so too. This dance studio is about 30 meters long. The starting point is in the middle of the classroom, which means that the distance to the end is only half the distance, that is, only about 15 meters. This is a favorable condition for the “Wooden People”, so they didn’t think deeply. .
“If there is no problem, the students can start to group by themselves. Remember, there are at least four students in each group, and the end time of each game is determined by the failure time of the last student.”
Guo Xian thought for a while and said: “In other words, the twelve of us can be divided into three groups to play games at most.”
“Is it allowed for twelve people to directly join the rules?” one of the newcomers asked.
Guo Xian said: “Although the rules allow, the less groupings, the worse for us.”
“Why? The success or failure of the game depends only on the individual final score, not the group elimination system, right? How many people should be in a group?”
As an old dream tourist, Guo Xian is more sensitive than the average person in this respect: “Of course there are differences. The more groups we have, the more opportunities we have for trial and error, and the more time we can prepare. Develop a plan for the special situation, and the winning rate will also be greatly improved.”
“Ah… Why didn’t I expect that there is a special situation…” The classmate suddenly realized, “In this way, we have two chances of trial and error. If the first two groups fail, the pressure of the last group of students will be relatively greater.”
Inspired by Guo Xian, everyone was quickly divided into three groups based on this experience and the performance of the previous two days.
The four members of the finale group are Chi Nan, Tang Yu, Guo Xian and his roommate Jiang Liang.
The first group to play the game is 204 Liang Han, Shu Yanfan and 208 Jiang Boming and Song Ye. The four of them are pure newcomers. When they stood at the starting point pulled out with a red rope in the middle of the classroom, they couldn’t help feeling uneasy. Look down.
The female teacher stepped on high heels and walked to the window at the end of the classroom and stood still: “When the game starts, you need to say a password in unison—no walk, no laugh, no talk, no movement, we are all wooden people, read After the game is over, the game officially starts.”
This password is basically clear after playing the “Wooden Man” game. Tang Yu, who stood next to Chi Nan, mumbled: “Why do you read it the other way around? Is something wrong?”
But he didn’t take it too seriously, and quickly focused on the four dream visitors on the starting line.
“No walking, no laughing, no talking, no moving, we are all wooden people—”
The voices of the four game participants fell, and the lights around the classroom went out for an instant. The four people standing at the starting point seemed to be taken aback. They looked around anxiously, and the snow came through the window of the dance room. With the only light source in the dark, the figure of the female teacher facing the window was elongated. She held her arm back to the player, in a leisurely and contented posture as if she was enjoying the snow scene outside the window.
Humans are phototaxis creatures and will unconsciously move toward a bright place.
Song Ye just took a tentative step, when the ceiling directly above them suddenly heard a’pop’ noise. Following the sound, a white light fell on the four people, Liang Han couldn’t hold back the low’Ah’ Screamed.
“What, what’s going on…” Liang Han asked in a shaking voice.
“Shhh, don’t speak loudly, it should be a game effect, which is deliberately scaring us.”
The spotlight hitting them gave them the illusion of standing on the stage. Under the pale light, the players’ every move was delicate and destined to become the focus of all eyes.
There seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at them hidden in the darkness, and as “wooden people” they had to perform their performance under the spotlight according to the rules, like puppets with their hands and feet tied.
Everyone breathed lightly, but the heart couldn’t control the ‘dong dong dong’ violently hitting the chest cavity. As a result, their throats became dry and it was difficult to breathe.
The four newcomers participating in the game, including the remaining eight bystanders, looked at the female teacher at the end of the classroom for an instant. She maintained her posture like a sculpture, giving people the illusion that they would not turn their heads to watch.
So the four moved forward two steps cautiously.
Just as Shu Yanfan wanted to take the third step, she suddenly blocked her with both hands. She shrank in fright, her body stiffened in place, and she realized that it was Jiang Boming’s hand. As soon as she raised her eyelid, she saw the female teacher’s neck creaking. Squeaking in their direction, Shu Yanfan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Jiang Boming hadn’t stopped her in time, she would have become the first person to get out.
But before she could finish her breath, the female teacher who was standing under the window teleported to where they were standing, and fixedly facing Shu Yanfan, she split her blood-red lips to the base of her ears, pale in the spotlight. In the light, large swaths of bright red gums and sharp claw-like teeth were exposed, and the four “wooden people” who were still fixed on the spot showed a grinning smile.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Shu Yanfan and Jiang Boming were caught off guard and screamed in shock. Although Song Ye finally managed to hold back and did not scream, his body still took a step back in reflex. The remaining Liang Han did not scream. He didn’t move, but he was stunned for half a second and then fell straight back. He was frightened by the sudden blood-red grinning.
The female teacher then smiled contentedly: “It’s a pity that the first group of four students have already failed the game, and I hope that the remaining students will perform better.”
Although they didn’t play in person, the few people who had been standing by were also scared with white hair on their backs. It was scary enough to look at it from a distance. Not to mention the **** mouth directly in front of you, how can you bear it? Can’t live or call…
Guo Xian squinted his eyes slightly: “It seems to be a bit more difficult than expected, and all kinds of shocks and disturbances are indispensable on the way to the end.”
Tong Yu was unmoved, and looked eager to try: “Look at me, it just so happens that I have good athletic nerves, and I am not afraid of these things.”
Soon, the four people in the second group were already standing on the starting point. They were Yan Zimo and Tao Le of 206 and Tong Yu and Guo Yaoyao of 207.
“The rules have not changed. The students can start reciting the password when they are ready.” The female teacher stood back under the window at the end of the classroom and turned her back with her arms as she did before.
Because of the first round of experience, everyone was calm when the spotlight came down, but even though two of the students were mentally prepared, when the female teacher suddenly appeared to scare them, they were caught off guard. Halfway through the movement, a classmate saw in the mirror that a black figure that swallowed people appeared behind him, and he screamed out of fright.
Soon, only Tong Yu, who was still calm as ever, remained on the court.
“Before I was thinking about the purpose of the mirrors on the two walls. It turned out to be used to interfere with the players.” Guo Xian said.
Chi Nan looked at the unsynchronized images in the mirror: “The images in the mirror should be virtual projections. As long as they are left alone, they won’t cause us harm.”
Guo Xian glanced at the expressionless Chi Nan and smiled bitterly: “That’s right, but when he is extremely nervous, he suddenly sees the horror picture in the mirror image. Not many people can control their fear.”
As he said, he turned his gaze to Tong Yu, who was as calm and agile as ever, and admired, “This girl has great potential.”
Chi Nan looked at the game field where only one classmate was left, and then subconsciously glanced at the jumbled clock on the wall, and found that the clock that had previously displayed 5:30 was now pointing to 4:10.
His heart sank slightly, and it seemed that the clock was not broken, although the time was ridiculously wrong.
Tong Yu on the field moved briskly and swiftly. When the female teacher twisted her neck for the third time, she moved her body as light as a Yan to the red line behind the teacher, which symbolized the end. Dream visitors are relieved.
Everyone knows the rules of the “Wooden Man” game. The female teacher emphasized before that the game player who moves to the end smoothly is free and can move freely without being restricted by the teacher’s line of sight.
So Tong Yu relaxed his vigilance, and even raised his chin proudly when the female teacher turned her head: “Teacher, I passed the test smoothly. Please hand me the clues for tonight according to the rules set before.”
The female teacher raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke very clearly: “It’s a pity that this classmate failed the game. Now I announce that all members of the second group of “Wooden Men” have been eliminated. ”
When she said this, everyone was stunned.
Tong Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief, “How could it be possible to fail? Didn’t I move when I arrived at the finish line smoothly?”
The female teacher smiled noncommitantly, and turned her attention to Chi Nan and the others: “The third group of students, please be prepared. The new round of games will be played in five minutes.”
Everyone was stunned.
“How can we go on playing this? Tong Yu clearly reached the finish line while observing the rules, but was unilaterally judged that the game was a failure. We haven’t given a specific explanation. We have no chance of winning at all, right?”
“I now suspect that no matter what the game is, it will be a failure. If you still play a fart, I can only fight for luck tonight.”
Guo Xian tightened his eyebrows: “This is unreasonable. Although dreammakers in the nightmare world have absolute power, they will not arbitrarily break the rules they set. There must be something we overlooked.”
“But the rules of the wooden man are simple two lines. You can’t make sounds and movements in the line of sight of the monitor. You must reach the end quickly to gain freedom. Tong Yu obviously did it…”
Seeing that the third round of the game is about to start in three minutes, everyone who has not inferred the reason for the failure is frustrated and nervous.
There is only one last chance, but the situation has changed abruptly and they have no clue…
Chi Nan glanced at the clock on the wall again, now the time has become 3:50.
Time is going backwards!
In addition to time, there is also Tang Yu’s previous game start formula, which is also reversed.
Chi Nan moved his gaze to the starting point of the game in the middle of the classroom…
Why should the starting point start in the middle of the classroom? It is absolutely impossible for the female teacher to show mercy to shorten the distance in order to reduce the difficulty, but the biggest trap of the game.
Chi Nan already had the answer in his heart.
