Chapter 237
In the first few minutes after the lights were turned off, Xiao Li remained motionless. He leaned his back against the wall on the left side of the passage in a pensive posture. Wang Huai stood next to him. 30 seconds passed before he opened his mouth. “Are we just going to stand like this?”
“Yes,” Xiao Li replied simply. “Have you found the Moss duo?”
Previously, he had inford Wang Huai and the others about what he and Zhou Yin saw. He had different views from Zhou Yin but he wasn’t sure about the specific aning of the painting. Later, he simply handed this important task to Wang Huai.
Wang Huai shook his head. “No, I used a tracking item but it failed.”
“There are three possibilities. One, they are using an anti-tracking item. Two, they have left here. Three, there is another type of power sheltering them.”
Xiao Li heard this and asked an irrelevant question. “What tracking item did you use?”
“...A whistle.” Wang Huai explained, “There is a dog spirit inside it. It was a police dog before it died. After death, it has an enhanced sense of sll. It can sll anything and bite the other person.”
His knowledge of items had increased. Xiao Li listened with relish and nodded.
“I have a bad feeling. Sherlock, you don’t know Moss...” Wang Huai returned to the subject and frowned. “He is very expressive. His current actions are completely different from his normal self. Combined with the painting, I think they are planning to do sothing big.”
The first ti Wang Huai entered the prison, he could still see the Moss duo in the cafeteria. Lately, they didn’t even co to the cafeteria so Wang Huai completely stopped having contact with them.
Xiao Li thought for a mont. “If you think he has a problem then you should’ve directly imprisoned them in the cafeteria.”
“Moss might be acting strangely but he isn’t a believer of an evil god. He isn’t hostile to the night so I can’t easily be rough with him. Of course, the most important thing is that I might not be able to beat him.” Wang Huai calmly faced this reality. “The reasons weren’t enough at that ti to let you act directly.”
Xiao Li was about to speak when he caught the approaching footsteps of the jailer and made a shh gesture to Wang Huai beside him. Obviously, the jailer had already patrolled the first floor and was approaching the floor where the reincarnators were. It would soon patrol the two empty rooms and find two prisoners missing.
Xiao Li first pointed to himself and then the floor above him, mouthing, “I will go to the top, you go to the bottom. We will separate.”
“What am I going to do down there?” Wang Huai inquired.
“Experint.”
“What experint?”
Xiao Li pretended to be dead and didn’t answer. Wang Huai had a bad feeling and couldn’t help asking, “Why did you promise to let co with you?”
Xiao Li replied, “As an experint.”
Wang Huai, “???”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Go down and do whatever you want. You can just stand still. Then co back and tell how long you have slept.” Xiao Li reached out and pushed him.
The footsteps in the distance were getting closer. Wang Huai had to swallow the words in his throat. He separated from Xiao Li and headed to the next floor alone. Xiao Li slowly followed the passage to the upper level.
The jailer had already patrolled here and the rooms on both sides were mostly empty. Only a few rooms had prisoners sleeping. The entire corridor only had the sound of their breathing plus Xiao Li’s walking.
Xiao Li originally wanted to go to the end and take a look at the platform. However, the mont he walked through a small part of the passage, his consciousness suddenly swayed and sleepiness filled his mind. He imdiately tried to banish his sleepiness with his thoughts but failed.
A dark shadow appeared in front of Xiao Li like a flash. ‘It’ didn’t co up by the stairs but was transmitted through the coordinates. The jailer looked at the coordinate marks on Xiao Li’s wrist and then a voice resembling the broadcast ca from the entire floor. “This is a notice that prisoner No. 23024 went out after lights out ti, violating Rule 92941 of the prison code. He will be imprisoned in the thinking room for 24 hours.”
“Repeating it again...”
Xiao Li lost consciousness in the midst of the broadcast. Once he woke up again, he found himself in a completely enclosed, dark room on the ground. Xiao Li sat up and found that the so-called ‘thinking room’ had no lights. The structure was roughly the sa as the other rooms but there was no furniture, no bed, no mirrors and other things.
He touched the wall and moved forward while silently calculating the size of the entire room in his heart. The walls were very hard with a bit of a burr to them. It was a type of rough room that perhaps hadn’t been used for a long ti. It was a bit damp when Xiao Li touched it and he guessed that moss might’ve grown.
He explored the entire room once. It was around 17 square tres in size. There was no door, only one iron window that couldn’t be opened. It would be quite torturous to stay in here for 24 hours.
However, Xiao Li had been prepared a long ti ago. He naturally wouldn’t want to sleep here all day. He placed his hands together expectantly, took out the little yellow book that never left his side and wrote a few words blindly in the dark with a pen.
In the next second, several familiar figures appeared in the dark room.
There was the black-haired beauty with a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye who wore a fitting sailor suit. Just standing there was a beautiful scene. Next to her, a woman covered her face. The mont she appeared, the sound of weeping filled the thinking room. The ghost in red lowered her head and blood dropped from a corner of her dress. In addition, there was a pair of trembling legs that took two instinctive steps back when they saw Xiao Li.
Xiao Li opened his hands to welco them. “Let’s do so team building.”
“Team building?” Fujiang spoke first. She glanced at this place that could be called ‘very poor’ with disgust and asked, “How are you going to build it?”
Xiao Li told her, “The facilities might be a bit simple but there are many gas we can play.”
Fujiang spoke suspiciously, “Gas? With you? Let first tell you, I don’t want to be a toy.”
“Why would I use you as a toy?” Xiao Li looked innocent. “Look at the barrage and let’s see what gas are suitable for team building.’
[Weeping sister, weeping sister, your hair is growing back.]
[Team building with a human, these strange stories are really shaful.]
[These ghosts, get lost, get lost. It is Moriarty ti.]
[As a Sherlock fan, I’m dissatisfied!]
[I am thinking about it. The four corners ga, the dish fairy, corpse mud, eating ghost food?]
[Above, these things are really suitable for team building.]
[It isn’t bad.]
[I also want to be a colleague with Hercule.]
Xiao Li watched for a bit before quickly picking a ga. “The four corners ga.”
He asked the other strange stories, “Do you know how to play?”
The weeping woman covered her face. “No, wu, I don’t know.”
“Choose four people or ghosts. We will stand in four corners, close our eyes and face the corner. Never look back. Once the ga starts, the person in one corner will go to the next corner and pat the shoulder of the person in front of you lightly. Stay in that corner while the person moves onto the next corner and so on. Once you go to a corner with no one, you will cough.”
Xiao Li explained.
The legs suddenly kicked the ground, indicating that it didn’t have an upper body to cough. Xiao Li looked at it and added, “...Or stomp in place.”
“It is said that once you get to the end, there will be an extra person in the room.”
Fujiang stood aside and took the initiative to withdraw from the first ga. She stretched lazily and said, “I just grew into a full body yesterday and I won’t co first.”
Xiao Li, the crying woman, the ghost in red and the legs each took one corner.
“Clockwise,” Xiao Li said.
He closed his eyes. He felt that since the ghosts ca, the temperature of the entire room had dropped a lot but it was quite lively to so extent. Xiao Li walked forward along the wall. Once he reached the next corner, he patted the shoulder of the ghost in front of him.
Judging from the touch of the hair, it was the crying woman. The crying woman covered her face and walked forward.
***
On the third lap, Xiao Li clearly felt an extra person. It didn’t matter if it was the ghost in red, the crying woman or the legs. There was no longer any coughing or stomping. People were always walking but there were constantly four full corners.
Even so, Xiao Li didn’t open his eyes. It wasn’t until he touched a strange, smooth shoulder that didn’t belong to any of the strange stories.
The ghost touched by Xiao Li was a lonely wild ghost attracted by the four corners ga. It kept its eyes closed and smiled coldly when it was touched on the shoulder by the human. Then it headed forward.
This wasn’t the first ti it had been attracted by this type of ga. Human beings were always so keen to die. They attracted creatures that didn’t belong to this world but were afraid to see them. It waited quietly, waiting for the four humans to discover it and then it would enjoy their screams of fear.
The ga ghost walked forward and quickly reached the next corner. It stretched out its hand. A woman’s shoulder was touched. Very good, the screams it was waiting for would surely break the sky.
The ga ghost fantasized about it triumphantly. It took back its hand and felt the woman in the corner walking forward. It was just... why was the touch on its hand not right? The ga ghost rubbed its thumb and index finger together. It seed to be sticky and wasn’t like nervous sweat. the sll and viscosity was more like a liquid that it was quite familiar with...
Blood.
Was it an illusion? It could be that the woman’s clothes were of poor quality or that she deliberately drenched herself with blood in order to prank another ga player. Oh, it was a pity they didn’t know that a real ghost had been called by them.
The ga ghost had this thought. It stood in place, waiting for the person behind it to touch it. Then it was another round. The ga ghost continued to move forward. This ti, the person standing at the corner in front of it had changed. It reached out and patted toward the shoulder.
Huh? It was empty. There didn’t seem to be anyone ahead. Could it be that this person noticed sothing was wrong and hid while crying? Indeed, there did seem to be a woman who was constantly crying. It was a type of low, scared sob.
The ga ghost waved its arm low through the air in a strange manner and then touched sothing close to his crotch. It wasn’t human hair as he imagined. It was a strangely flat section, very elastic. The ga ghost touched along the line of the flat section and its hand inserted into a gap.
Bang—!
The next second, it was kicked and forced backwards. What the hell was this?!
The ga ghost was no longer concerned about the rules. It opened its eyes and spent so ti adjusting to the dark room to see clearly. The ‘ga participant’ it was facing was a pair of legs. A pair of legs without an upper body. The place where its hand had inserted just now was the gap between the thighs of these legs.
At this mont, the legs facing it were very angry. The legs raised a foot and kicked it again.
Go to hell, stinky rascal!
The ga ghost, “???”
What four corners ga was played with a pair of legs?!
