Chapter 41: Toy House (5)
Someone tried to push the large ice cube at the door, but unexpectedly found that their hand had passed through the ice cube and did not touch anything.
"It's just an illusion, just walk over it."
The boy walked around the man as he spoke, shoved the note back into him, and walked straight to the next room.
The layout of these rooms is as irregular as a young man's eating and resting routine, and it is impossible to guess what the next room will be like.
The puppet stepped on the lattice of the black and white chess pieces, and Qian Hong looked for the exit of the room in confusion. But she didn't notice anything, only a black and white lattice, and a black screen at the front of the room.
The others also followed one after another, and when the last person entered the room, the black screen suddenly lit up, and the lights in the whole room dimmed, and the atmosphere was a little eerie.
The screen just lit up, nothing else was displayed, and the players fumbled around the room. After discovering nothing, everyone started chatting.
"Here's what's going on, we were playing peek-a-boo in the last round. If you get caught by a monster, you're gone..."
"I was pumping blocks in the last round... Luckily, I won in the end. β
"Our last round was playing with spinning tops... The losing side will be drawn by the spinning top on the spot..."
Qianhong notices that their levels are all about toys.
"Are there different games behind the 12 doors?"
She pondered, and then looked at the black and white lattice on the floor: "Then this round..."
"Hello!"
A voice suddenly rang out in the room and interrupted her thoughts. Qian Hong looked at the source of the soundβan old-fashioned red landline that suddenly appeared on the floor below the screen.
"Does anyone want to answer the phone?"
The puppet turned its head to look at the players behind them, some were eager to try but were stopped by their companions, and some looked down at the floor for fear that the call would hit them.
"Try it." Qian Hong thought that it was just right for the puppet to go up as an experiment, so she controlled him to pick it up.
The doll was quite polite, and he turned to the players and said, "I'm going to answer the phone." β
Qian Hong silently complained in her heart that this puppet would be better than herself.
The boy sat on the floor, casually pulled up the earpiece, and said "hey" to the other side of the phone.
Soon there was a response from the other side, and the volume became a size that only Qian Hong and the puppet could hear: "You're coming to answer my phone!" Let's play the game. β
Qian Hong felt that it was a little girl's voice, and the little girl said happily in a crisp and cheerful voice: "I'm not very good at chess, let's play beast chess!" β
Whose chess uses a chess board and finally plays beast chess...
Speechless, she quietly got off her coat and got off herself. Qian Hong has a few thoughts that she is very curious about, that is, what will happen after smashing this landline? What happens if you hang up the phone? What happens if you don't play games with her?
Qian Hong sneaks up to the landline to try to do something, and at the same time, all the players behind her suddenly disappear, leaving only their dolls on the field.
"What's going on? How am I so short? β
"How did you become a doll?"
"Huh..."
The scene was chaotic for a while, with some small dolls making rough and strong voices that did not match their bodies, and some dolls were adapting to their soft bodies and moving around.
Some people panicked and tried to run next to the boy who had not become a doll, but found that a transparent wall appeared not far from him, and everyone was locked in the wall.
"Okay, then there are chess pieces, those little ones are your chess pieces, and my chess pieces are next to you."
Qian Hong turned her head to look in the other direction, and a one-to-one replica of the animal doll suddenly appeared on the huge black and white checkered chessboard. An elephant doll alone takes up dozens of squares.
Qian Hong frowned, but the doll form had no eyebrows, so she looked a little funny now.
"No matter, try smashing this landline first... Hey? What is this. β
The doll is answering the phone, and he is controlled to observe the situation on the chessboard on the other side. The coat had been draped back over her body when she had been flushed just now, and now she was blocking the view of others looking at her with her body.
When Qian Hong lifted the landline, she found a note at the bottom, and she took it out before the game started and quickly read it silently.
[January 5th.]
I wanted to go to her to play chess and play a game, but my dad suddenly said that I had to stay and sleep, and it was hard to sleep... Well, whoever made me a good boy, I'll listen to what Daddy says!
But my dad promised me that I could play with her tomorrow, and I really wanted to hurry up until tomorrow! γ
It looks like everything written on the note is related to the content of the game. At the end of this time, there is a small stick figure flower drawn on it, and there are some small animals.
Qian Hong thought about the first few notes, and estimated that this game was [I have to play with this child, it doesn't matter if I win or lose. γ
She looked at the panicked people in the transparent wall, and just wanted the puppet to tell them that it didn't matter. But she thought that she was not a pawn on the chessboard like them now, and that outsiders belonged to standing and talking, and did not have a backache.
Just when Qian Hong was thinking about how to speak, the puppet spoke for her: "I just got a note, and the note said that it doesn't matter if you win or lose, the important thing is to play with the person on the other side of the phone, and make her happy." β
Qian Hong: "......"
You really have something to say.
And those players seemed to be a group of innocent people, and some of them began to ask the boy how to play this beast chess game and what he was going to do, without the slightest suspicion that he might be lying.
Qian Hong: "......"
It's that my thoughts are too dark, and everyone is very simple.
The girl's laughter came from the other side of the phone: "Hehehehe, yes, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's the most important thing to be happy!" Let's play Beast Chess! β
As soon as the words ended, various clothes appeared on the animal dolls, and even the clothes of the players here were changed.
"Elephants are mothers! The lion is a daddy! Rats are children... The bottles over there are not allowed to move around on their own! β
The girl happily arranges the identity of everyone on the chessboard: "Daddy should go and clean up!" Mommy goes cook! The child goes to do his homework! β
This is not a game of chess, this is a game of chess. The kid probably didn't know what it meant to play chess.
Qian Hong took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was not on him, slowly crawled back into the pocket of the puppet's coat, looked at the scene in front of him speechlessly, and thought silently: "Fortunately, I'm not on the chessboard, I'm watching them play house." β
The puppet boy was very positive in response to the girl's words on the phone, and he also began to point at the doll on the chessboard: "How can the mop over there run by itself!" β
After ten minutes, all the dolls on the chessboard were out of breath, and the girl said happily: "Thank you for playing with me, I will give everyone a gift." β
The old-fashioned red landline slowly disappeared in front of her eyes, this is the most relaxing game since Qianhong entered the survival game, and it was really just a game with a little girl...
The lights were restored when the desk phone disappeared, and the screen that was on didn't do much from start to finish.
A door appeared in front of the puppet, and the other players couldn't believe that the round had passed, they had changed back from the dolls to their original ways, and they all looked at each other in disbelief, and finally followed the puppets out of the door and back to the hall.
They were bored and chatting as they walked.
"It's that simple?"
"If only the other doors were that simple..."
"Huh? Let's talk about what's in the other rooms. β
"Okay."
β¦
Qianhong asked the puppet to participate in the conversation, so he collected all kinds of information.
Behind the first door are chases and labyrinths,
The second door is to find differences and play house,
The third door is the guessing puzzle peek-a-boo,
No one has ever been to the fourth door,
The fifth door is to find the difference and draw the top,
The sixth door is to bet on the dice,
The seventh door is to draw blocks and build blocks,
No one has ever been to the eighth gate,
The ninth door is to find the difference and you draw I guess,
The tenth door is to throw handkerchiefs,
The eleventh door is a human puzzle,
No one has ever been to the twelfth door.
