"You want to come with us?" The oldest boy tilted his head to look at me, his eyes shining in the darkness of the night, a gesture that somehow reminded me of the black cat I had just met at the door.

"You're all going to play anyway, adding one to me won't affect anything? I can't do it, I'm just on the sidelines, and you guys play yours. ”

"Xue Fei, plus him, we can just get together enough four people, and we can play the game we have always wanted to play." The younger boy squeezed in front of me: "Hello, my name is Xiumu, he is my brother Xue Fei, the short-haired tomboy is my classmate Shen Meng, and the youngest girl who doesn't like to talk is called Sakura." ”

Hideki was so thin that he looked like a gust of wind could blow him down, but he was the most active and daring of the four.

"Actually, we've already played a few games just now, like Pen Fairy, Disc Fairy or something, but it's useless."

"Dare to play pen fairy in this place? You can really find excitement for yourself. ”

"It's not like you'll know it's all a lie after playing." Hideki said it casually, but I noticed that the other three people were looking at me coldly.

I was a little uncomfortable: "I know it's all a lie, why don't you hurry home?" ”

"No, no, no, there's another game we haven't played? It's a four-player game, and we don't have enough of them. ”

"Not enough people? Aren't you exactly four people? "Xiumu's words are weird everywhere, and it makes my heart furious.

"Sakurako doesn't play games, she's very timid and never wants to play with us."

I looked past the three people in front of me and looked at Sakurako, who was standing at the end, very shy, kept her head down, and didn't like to talk.

"Okay, then I'll play with you once, remember, and go home as soon as you're done. Sneaking out so late, how worried should the family be? ”

"Well, I've finally got the people together."

I couldn't understand Hideki's excitement, I just wanted to wait for the children to leave safely and search the campus thoroughly.

"This game is called Four Players Four Corners, and the rules are like this."

"In the middle of the night, in a rectangular blank room, turn off all the lights, and then stand one person in each of the four corners of the room, all facing the corner, and never look back."

"At the beginning of the game, the person in one corner walks to the other corner, pats the person in front of him on the shoulder, and stays in that corner. Then, the person being photographed walks to the other corner in the same way, and then taps the third person on the shoulder. ”

"Everybody all follow a clockwise direction, and so on, but if you come to a corner where no one is around, you have to cough and then go over the corner until you see the next person."

After listening to the rules, I didn't think it was a scary game: "It's that simple? But as you mentioned, there is a corner that is always empty, and the game can't be over. ”

Xiu Mu leaned against the window and looked into the classroom: "That's not necessarily. ”

"According to friends who have played before, when no one is coughing in the house, it means that there are people in every corner, but there is still one person who is always walking, because footsteps can be heard in the house!"

"It's a game of four people, but as you play, a fifth person appears."

Being explained by him like this, I suddenly felt a little regretful, "Why does it sound more terrifying than the Saucer Immortal......"

"Afraid of what? It's possible that it's just friend nonsense. Hideki patted his head, "If you are really scared, the four people can quit at the same time with their eyes closed and say, 'Game is over', but remember that it must be said by four people together, as long as one person does not agree to quit, the game will continue." ”

I glanced at my phone, and the water friends in the live broadcast room were also coaxing, and some people even threatened to give a reward.

"Okay, shall we just play in this classroom?"

"No, this classroom is too small." It was Xue Fei who spoke, "There is a special classroom in this building, let's go there." ”

"Special?" I narrowed my eyes: "Look at the door number outside, there are five classes in one grade, and there should be fifteen classes in three grades, and this building has four classrooms on each floor, a total of four floors, and there is indeed one classroom vacant." ”

We walked all the way to the top floor and stopped at the door of the last classroom on the left.

Looking in from the window, the desks and chairs in this classroom were emptied of only the blackboard, the lectern, and the rusty fan hanging overhead.

"It is rumored that the room was vacated because of a girl whose family was very poor and whose parents had to work several jobs to pay for the school. So compared to other students, she works very hard, studying and reading every day. During the day, she listened carefully, but at night everyone left the classroom, and she was reluctant to leave, so she continued to stay in the classroom with a flashlight. ”

"A week passed, two weeks passed, only one day, the girl who stayed in the classroom late at night was targeted by several rich boys, played with several times, and the girl jumped from the fourth floor in a humiliated manner and died of anger."

"Although her body is dead, it is said that her soul still returns to this classroom every night to read and study."

"Don't say it, Hideki!" Shen Meng screamed and stopped Xiumu, who was getting more and more energetic as he spoke.

"Are you scared?"

Shen Meng pouted unconvinced: "No, I'm afraid of scaring Sakura." ”

Sakurako, who always kept her distance from me, didn't say a word, and kept her head down the whole time.

"Stop arguing, let's get started now." Xue Fei was the oldest, and as soon as he spoke, the others stopped talking: "And you, this game room must be kept absolutely dark, there can be no light, the camera is placed outside for Sakura to help you watch." ”

I nodded and put the camera on the windowsill and swiped my phone, which looked like a lock screen, but in fact I just turned on the camera function of my phone so that the live broadcast would not be interrupted.

"Alright, let's assign it." Xiumu called us together: "After a while, I will be the first to go in and stand in the lower left corner, then the anchor, the second one to go in and stand in the upper left corner, then Xue Fei the third to go in and stand in the upper right corner, and finally Shen Meng to go in and stand in the lower right corner." After all were in place, Shen Meng coughed, I was the first to start walking, everyone followed the clockwise direction, and when I patted the anchor's shoulder, I changed the anchor to go, and in the corner where no one was around, I coughed and continued to walk, don't stop. ”

"Everyone's memorized the rules, okay, let's start now."

There was no light in the dark classroom, and the thick darkness was like a large cloud of ink, and after Hideki went in for more than ten seconds, I took a breath and stretched out my hands to grope into the classroom.

It was really dark inside, the visibility was no more than half a meter, and I stood up straight, not even my own shoes clearly.

Walking slowly, the arm finally touched the wall, and in the darkness, this small corner can bring people a strange psychological comfort.

I turned my head to glance, the classroom was so large that I couldn't see anything, and the only little light coming from the window was the flashing signal light on my camera, and next to the signal light was Sakurako, who had her head down.

It didn't take long for Shen Meng's coughing sound to be heard in the classroom.

I know, the game is on!

"Click, click, click......" The footsteps behind me became clearer and clearer, and I was facing the wall, knowing that it was Hideki behind me, but I couldn't control the tension in my heart.

"Smack." There was a gentle tap on the shoulder, and I understood, and walked out in a clockwise direction towards the next corner.

Unexpectedly, in the darkness, time passed very slowly, as if stepping on a passage that led to nowhere.

Slowly, I saw a black humanoid silhouette, so dark that even if I was very close, I was not sure that he was Xue Fei.

"It's finally here." Raising my hand and gently patting the shadow on the shoulder, I stopped in the corner and watched the shadow move slowly before disappearing into the darkness.

The wait was long, and in this classroom, the concept of time was a little blurred, and I silently counted the seconds and listened to my heartbeat.

After about a minute, the first cough came from the classroom, "It's Shen Meng." ”

It wasn't long before someone came up in the darkness and I was tapped on the shoulder.

Moving again, it's like a cycle that can never end.

A second cough sounded, so low that it was impossible to hear who made it.

However, according to my inference, this voice should come from Xue Fei.
