"Four Corners Game? It's a bit naïve to hear the name. Zhang Yueyue said with a smile.

Chen Xueqi leaned in front of her and said with a sneer: "When you play it, you will know how childish you are." ”

"How do you play?" Yu Xiaoyu urged.

Chen Xueqi cleared her throat and said, "The rules are like this, the four of us stand in the four corners of the room, each facing the corner of the wall, then blow out the candle and close our eyes. The game starts with me, I'm going to walk counterclockwise to the next corner, and when I get there, I'm going to tap the shoulder of the person standing in that corner, and then the person is going to walk counterclockwise to the next corner, and I'm going to stand in her place in the person's place, and so on. When someone walks into a corner where no one is around, they must cough and stay for 5 seconds, then continue to the next corner and pat the person standing there on the shoulder. Got it? ”

The rules weren't complicated, and all three girls nodded.

Zhang Yueyue pursed her lips and said, "Isn't it just walking around the house?" It's boring, right? What's the point? ”

Chen Xueqi shook her finger and sighed: "No, no, no, if that's the case, I will propose to play together?" Don't look at the 'Four Corners Game' is so simple that it is boring, but it is one of the top ten supernatural games in the world, and it is said to be more terrifying than the pen fairy and the dish fairy. The weird thing about this game is that there will be an extra 'person' later in the game......"

"One more 'person'?" Yu Xiaoyu's voice was a little unnatural. Zhang Yueyue and Wei Xiaofeng also felt a lot of goosebumps on their bodies.

Chen Xueqi lowered her voice and continued: "Because there must be a person walking along the wall during the progress of this game, and one of the corners must be empty. But the weird thing is that after this game is played, you won't hear the coughing sound. What does this mean? It means that there are people standing in all four corners. Counting the people who are walking around, who is this extra person? ”

Ghost......

The word popped up in the hearts of others for the first time.

"Really?" Yu Xiaoyu's mouth was a little dry.

Chen Xueqi shrugged noncommittally: "Is it true or not, we can verify it today, but it is said that everyone who plays this game has encountered the above situation, but no one dares to look back to see what it is, because no one knows what the consequences of looking back are." ”

"So horrible, huh? Forget it. I can't bear it when I hear it, let alone Xiao Feng? Zhang Yueyue said with some concern.

Wei Xiaofeng looked at Chen Xueqi's hidden sly smile, and seemed to understand something in his heart. She said, "I'm fine, I'm curious. But what if that happens? ”

Chen Xueqi was immediately excited when she heard that Xiao Feng did not object, and hurriedly said: "As long as the four of them close their eyes at the same time and say, 'The game is over', it's okay." But remember that you should never look back or talk during the game. ”

The other three girls nodded, walked to the three corners with a little trepidation, stood still facing the corners, and closed their eyes.

Chen Xueqi blew out the candles, and through the faint light coming in through the window, she touched the remaining corner of the wall, and after standing still, she ordered: "Okay, the game begins!" ”

Wei Xiaofeng stood in the corner of the wall diagonally opposite Chen Xueqi, did not close his eyes, but stared at the almost pitch-black wall in front of him. As Chen Xueqi's words fell, a slight footstep appeared.

It's no wonder that Xiaoxue waits for the rain to almost fall before starting to play, if the rain is so heavy that the footsteps of such a light can't be heard, then the game will lose a lot of color. Wei Xiaofeng thought to himself.

At this moment, the footsteps disappeared for a moment, and then another footstep sounded that was slightly different from the one just now, and it was getting closer and closer to itself. It seems that Chen Xueqi has reached the corner of the wall on her left hand side and is standing still, and now it is Zhang Yueyue who was standing there who is walking over.

After a while, Wei Xiaofeng felt a gentle tap on the shoulder twice, and it seemed that Zhang Yueyue had already walked behind her. Xiao Feng immediately turned left and walked towards the next corner, where Yu Xiaoyu was.

Because the room was very dark, there was hardly any light, so Wei Xiaofeng could barely see the front and feet clearly, so he could only hold on to the wall and walk forward slowly.

After walking more than a dozen steps, Wei Xiaofeng could vaguely see a figure standing in front of him. She walked to the next corner, and that figure was Yu Xiaoyu. She raised her hand and patted Yu Xiaoyu's shoulder, who was more than half a head taller than her.

Yu Xiaoyu felt it, and immediately walked to the left to the next corner.

Wei Xiaofeng took her place and stood still facing the corner.

There was no one in the next corner, and there would definitely be a cough. Wei Xiaofeng thought in his heart.

Sure enough, after a slight sound of footsteps, two coughing sounds were heard, followed by five seconds of silence in the room, and then footsteps began to appear again.

A few laps were rounded like this, step by step.

At first, everyone came to play the game with a relaxed mood, but as the time went by, the tension in my heart gradually intensified. Because no one can predict when the extra "person" will appear.

Maybe the extra "people" mentioned by Chen Xueqi is just a gimmick, a cover to create an atmosphere, but people have "preconceived ideas" and "would rather believe what they have than believe what they don't". What's more, the people who play the game are in such a dark space, and darkness is the bulking agent that increases the deep fear in people's hearts. Once someone has planted a wedge in their hearts in advance that will give rise to an extra "person", then they will inevitably start to think crankily in the middle of it.

Although the existence of ghosts cannot be denied, many people have a fear of ghosts since childhood, and in extreme tension and panic, it is easy to mistake some irrelevant things into ghosts, or to transform the illusions of nothingness that they are worried about into their own real memories.

When the deep fear and tension in the heart are magnified, people will also lose their rational thinking and calm judgment.

This was the second time Wei Xiaofeng had walked to an unoccupied corner, she coughed, stayed for five seconds, and then moved towards the next corner.

Sure enough, it's still this place.,The corner of Xiaoxue Station at the beginning.。 Xiao Feng silently confirmed in his heart.

From the hidden sly smile that Chen Xueqi showed before the game started, Wei Xiaofeng knew that maybe this game was not as mysterious and terrifying as she said, so Xiaofeng played this game with a very peaceful mind from the beginning. From the beginning of the game, she listened carefully to everyone's every move, thinking silently in her heart.

After these two laps, Wei Xiaofeng has roughly mastered the rules of this game. Mark the four corners as 1, 2, 3, and 4, and mark the people standing there as A, B, C, and D respectively, in fact, this game is nothing more than four people taking turns to replace the three corners of 2, 3, and 4, and the No. 1 corner has been empty since A left at the beginning of the game. The four participants will take turns walking through corner 1 in the order of D, C, B, and A, coughing, staying for five seconds before walking to corner 2. If one of them, let's say, A walks to the corner of wall No. 1 and doesn't cough, then one of A and the person who continues to walk in place of A, that is, B, must be playing tricks on them. Because there are two situations of not coughing, one is that A passes through the corner of the wall and deliberately walks to the next corner without coughing, and the other is that B, who should be standing at corner 2, deliberately moves to corner 1.

If you can analyze the rules of the game with a normal mind, it is not difficult to decipher why there is an inexplicable phenomenon of one more person in the game at a certain point, because one of the participants is a ghost and deliberately creates a "person" that does not exist. But because the premise of the game must be a dark environment, and the person playing the game must close their eyes and not look back, such a prank can succeed.

However, Chen Xueqi gave others a psychological hint before the game started, which would cause others to feel an inexplicable nervousness and panic when the game progressed to a certain point. If everyone has this mentality and loses their sense of normalcy, then the game will be successful.

But unfortunately, Chen Xueqi's previous smile was seen by Wei Xiaofeng, so Xiaofeng was able to methodically explore the essence of this four-cornered game in the process of continuous gameplay.

As Xiao Feng thought, when it was Chen Xueqi's turn in the third cycle, she passed through the No. 1 corner and did not say a word, but continued to walk towards the No. 2 corner.

A smile rose at the corner of Wei Xiaofeng's mouth, and he reached out and took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and clenched it tightly in his hand.

Zhang Yueyue patted her hand on the shoulder for the third time, and she began to walk slowly towards the corner 4.

She deliberately slowed her pace and listened intently for something.

Really! She laughed inwardly. In addition to the sound of her footsteps, there was a very slight sound of footsteps on the other side of the room. If it weren't for the chemical fiber carpet on the floor, maybe the sound would be difficult to hear.

Wei Xiaofeng approached the corner where Yu Xiaoyu was, and she could feel Yu Xiaoyu's breathing and slightly trembling body. It seems that Yu Xiaoyu has noticed that there has been no coughing sound for a long time, so she thought that the fifth "person" had arrived, and her heart was filled with fear.

When Wei Xiaofeng gently patted her on the shoulder, he found that her body suddenly shook, obviously startled. Then she slowly moved towards the No. 1 corner, her steps trembling and unsteady.

Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't have to move for the time being, Xiao Feng took the phone in front of him, clicked the HOME button, and then used his coat to block the light emitted by the screen, and secretly turned on the flashlight app, ready to press the lit button at any time.

Yu Xiaoyu walked to the corner of No. 1 wall and patted the shoulder of the person standing there, and it was Chen Xueqi as expected. Chen Xueqi began to walk to the left, passing the empty No. 2 corner and still not making a sound, and continued to walk towards the No. 3 corner. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yueyue replaced her and began to walk towards Wei Xiaofeng.

When the shoulder was tapped for the fourth time, Wei Xiaofeng slowly walked a few steps forward, and heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from the other side of the room. It's time! Wei Xiaofeng quickly took out the mobile phone hidden in his coat, turned on the flashlight, and turned around to shine the flash on the wall between the No. 2 and No. 3 corners.

"Yikes!" Chen Xueqi, who seemed to be frightened by the sudden bright light and was secretly moving back from the No. 3 corner to the No. 2 corner, screamed and stood still, covering her eyes with her hands.

Sure enough, it was Xiaoxue who made the ghost. When Wei Xiaofeng saw this scene, he knew that everything was as he had speculated, and he couldn't help but feel proud.

However, she suddenly found that in the corner of her eyes, there was a figure standing in the corner of No. 3 Wall, which should have been empty after Chen Xueqi left......

She suddenly got goosebumps, broke out in a cold sweat, and her nerves couldn't help but tense quickly.

She slowly turned her gaze away......

A little girl!

Dressed in a blue floral dress, with an innocent and weird smile on her twelve or thirteen-year-old face, her big eyes staring straight at her......

"Ahh

"Pounce!" With a muffled sound, Xiao Feng's mobile phone fell on the carpet......
