(Foreword)

Man is always confused by the appearance of things,

And forget the essence of things.

"Char, you've finally come out, let's play the game of kicking the jar." Zhou Qiuxian held a plastic jar in his hand that he picked up out of nowhere, looked at me standing in front of the passage, and said provocatively.

Spare me, isn't it just a wild orange?

The corners of my mouth twitched, and I looked at everyone with a pleading look, and proposed, "Since this is a game, how can it be just the two of us playing?" We should all play together, don't you think?"

The other five looked at each other, then at me, and nodded in agreement.

"Char's words make sense, playing games should be played together, how can only the two of you play alone? It's not fair! ”

Well said! Midget!

I looked at the dwarf and was very excited. It seems that after I rescued him, he was completely biased towards me, and I can be regarded as having him as an "accomplice".

"yes."

"yes."

"Whew."

The others followed the gnomes and began to heckle.

Zhou Qiuxian was no match for the outnumbered people, and finally he was defeated, with a dejected look, he placed the plastic jar in the center of several of us, and said:

"Okay, let's play together. This game is called Kick the Jar. The rules are as follows: among several of us, one person is selected by lottery to be a ghost, of course, the others do not know, only he himself knows that he is a ghost, he wants to catch others, and the person who is caught will become a ghost, and the person who is caught by the ghost will naturally become a ghost, and so on. Those who are not turned into ghosts will only win if they kick the jar. ”

As I listened to Zhou Qiuxian's explanation, this image suddenly appeared in my mind: she pointed her finger at my face and said that you are a ghost, then stretched her left foot back and kicked a bottle in my face......

I shivered, this is very likely to happen, she is a narrow-minded woman, and it is normal for her to come to me to vent under the pretext of playing a game.

Luckily, the gnome helped me out of the siege, and I should really thank him!

"Okay, let's draw lots first." Zhou Qiuxian took a few notes and squeezed them in his hand and said to us.

Arthur and Xiaoyu, who were standing in front of me, walked up first, took a note and held it in the palm of their hands.

I can't show weakness either.

Goddess of Fortune, please take care of me!

I closed my eyes and prayed, walked in front of Zhou Qiuxian, and quickly pulled out a note and held it in my hand. I secretly spread out my palms and glanced at the note I was holding in my hand, and it was not surprising that the word "ghost" was written on it.

Damn, how did this woman do it? This draw should be fair......

I looked at Zhou Qiuxian, and she stuck her tongue out at me with a smug look.

She's cheating, isn't she?

As I was thinking this, she coughed twice and said to us, "Okay, now everyone close their eyes and turn around, the ghost has to count to 100 before he can start catching people, and the others are hiding themselves during this time, so as not to be caught by the ghost." ”

We followed Zhou Qiuxian's instructions, closed our eyes together, turned our backs and counted 100 in our hearts.

“…… 97, 98, 99, 100, arrived. ”

I opened my eyes and looked around: there was no one.

"Bang dang."

There was a noise coming from inside the toilet, and I shrugged helplessly.

Hey, it's not going to be a good point to hide.

I walked to the toilet and pushed open the toilet door with a "poof", looked at the light rain curled up inside, and grabbed her arm.

"Got you."

Xiaoyu stood up with a "whin" and walked out with me. I pointed there and motioned for Xiaoyu and my soldiers to split ways, and Xiaoyu nodded and walked in the opposite direction from me.

Xiaoyu opened the cupboard in the kitchen, smiled with a red face, and poked Arthur with her little finger. Arthur sighed, with a look of loss, presumably because he was defeated in Xiaoyu's hands, and he didn't feel his face dull.

I saw her slowly stand up, pat the dust off her body, and then walked with Xiaoyu to the secret room in the passage.

I also immediately went up the stairs and walked in the direction of the second floor, when the dwarf suddenly followed me and said to me, "I have also become a ghost, let's catch it with you." ”

When did he become a ghost? Could it be that they were caught by Xiaoyu?

I saw Zhao Xie pat me on the shoulder, pointed to my room, and made a "shhh I understood what he meant, tiptoed into my room, lifted the sheets that covered the bed, and looked at Zhou Qiuxian lying under the bed.

"Hey, hey, hey~~"

Zhou Qiuxian laughed awkwardly for a while and walked out by himself. My hand slapped her on the shoulder and smirked.

Just then, we heard a jar kick from downstairs.

It's still been given to you.

I sighed and walked down with the two of them.

Xiaoyu, Arthur, Yu Bo, and Wu Han stood there looking at the jar lying on the ground together, and turned their heads to look at me.

"What's wrong, who won?" I asked them.

"Didn't someone from your side kick it?" They looked at me in horror.

I broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "No, no...... Ahead, the three of us ...... It's been downstairs all the time. ”

"But when we caught them...... It's also in the basement. Arthur's pupils widened, and he shivered as he looked at the jar.

"Maybe it's blown by the wind, let's not scare ourselves." Yu Bo stood up and comforted us.

"Yes, it must be that! ...... in this world ...... in this world Where there will be ghosts. Arthur's lips turned white, and he muttered to himself.

"Alright, alright, then this game will end with no one winning." I just clapped my hands and said this, but Zhao Xie suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute." ”

We looked at Zhao Xie together, and Zhao Xie smiled proudly: "Who said that no one wins this game?" I'm the winner! ”

"You? Aren't you a ghost who has already been caught? I frowned, and suddenly as if I had guessed something, I immediately looked at Arthur and Xiaoyu, and asked them, "Have you ever caught him?"

Arthur and Xiaoyu shook their heads and looked at me innocently.

Ah~ soldiers are not tired of cheating!

"Well, it looks like you won."

This canister kicking contest ended with Zhao Xie's victory, as for who kicked the cans at that time, or if it was really the wind that blew the cans, we have no way of knowing now, and we can't know, only continue to live on this island until the day when we really find a way out.
