A blue sun hung in the dead night sky, and the light given to the ground was limited.
Under the crazy storm, yellow sand was flying all over the sky, further reducing visibility.
It has been fifteen minutes since ten o'clock.
A suona version of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is played in the abandoned residential building with only red, white and blue colors.
The residential building area is equivalent to two football fields.
This time is special. The first task appears in the Red Book: looking for today’s task. Those who fail will not be able to enter the game.
Tip 1: The task is hidden inside the wooden box.
Tip 2: There are only 23 redwood boxes in the residential building.
Tip 3: Time limit is one hour.
Twenty-eight people in total.
Five people will be eliminated early, and the "old players" know their fate without even thinking about it. They have to struggle to find the redwood box despite the strong wind and yellow sand.
Although the newcomers were confused and frightened, no one dared to slack off at this moment and seeing Yu Niao and the others working so hard.
Looking for a wooden box of unknown size in a large venue with no time but limited time, maybe I am the contestant who was eliminated, and I feel helpless or even desperate when I think about it.
Most people choose to go it alone.
There are also people who have other thoughts when acting alone.
Yu Niao searched for most of the circle to no avail. Instead, she walked into a small amusement park. When she was going up the slide and sitting on the head of the "elephant", she accidentally touched a wooden box.
Lily pattern, big enough for a child's hand, gold lock, can be opened with a little force.
There is only one black word on the hard card folded into copper coins: Health!
Yu Niao carefully put the card into her pocket, closed the mahogany box again and put it in its original position. As soon as she stood up, she saw a man approaching Gao Yuan.
Their conversation was heard clearly.
Yu Niao didn't expect that the newcomer would start attacking people because of the box so quickly. She slid down directly and helped Gao Yuan protect the box.
Then Shang Yu also came and stood beside Yu Niao naturally.
Newcomer Li Xuqing is thin and short. If the two of them hadn't suddenly appeared, they would have taken Gao Yuan's box away even if they fought hard.
"Brother Gao, you are so strong, you shouldn't be afraid of that villain. We have to take action when it's time to take action. We..."
Shang Yu saw Yu puffing up his cheeks while speaking, and interrupted with a cough:
"Stop talking nonsense, time is running out." The implication is to ask them if they have found the box.
Yu Niao and Gao Yuan nodded one after another.
During the process of looking for the box, Shang Yu secretly observed that this residential building had the feel of "Wangchun Middle School". It seemed like an abandoned but well-behaved building, but in fact it hid unknown crises that no one could have predicted.
He estimated that there were still thirty minutes left and asked cautiously:
"What did you say on the card?"
Yu Niao and Gao Yuan hesitated and remained silent.
"Mine is 'raw'."
Yu Niao didn't hide anything and told her readily. Gao Yuan did the same.
After listening, Shang and Shang relaxed a little, and it seemed that the content of the card found in the box was consistent.
Right now, I just put down the box, protect myself and the cards, wait for the end, and take it one step at a time.
While Yu Niao was thinking, the sound of the suona suddenly stopped.
There are inexplicably more bright red lanterns on the roadside.
Under the weird light, through the yellow sand, you can see a layer of dark, overlapping shadows approaching from three o'clock directions.
The three of them hid out of instinct and secretly observed the passing shadows.
They were uniformly dressed in a neat line, with white suits and red leather shoes. Their hair was combed and shiny, and each had a big red flower tied on their chest. They walked upright and their heads did not move at all.
Because the light was dim and the distance was far, this was all Yu Niao and the others could see.
In terms of feeling, it is definitely not good.
The figure disappeared for three minutes, and none of the three people came out to speak.
When they first came here, Yu Niao and Shang Yu both had a very bad feeling.
Now it seems that the worries are not unfounded, and perhaps every next step will be extremely difficult and dangerous.
In silence, Gao Yuan whispered to the two of them that the scene just now was like a wedding in a horror movie.
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is not random.
So, that's exactly what Shang was thinking, but they didn't point it out. They didn't want this mission to be related to the Ghost Bride.
"This time we can't think about the problem according to our previous habits."
Yu Niao's chest felt heavy and she looked worried, "No matter what we encounter, it is always easier to survive by working together than by fighting alone."
Gao Yuan looked at the expressions of the two people. He understood what Yu Niao meant, and also understood the meaning of Shang Yu's expressions. If he followed the two of them, he felt that his chance of survival would be much greater.
I don't know whether it was because the community was too big or something, but the three of them hid all the way without seeing the fourth person.
Less than fifty meters ahead at the T intersection, Qiu Yali stood alone under a red lantern swaying in the strong wind. She stood on tiptoes and stretched out her hands as if to grab something.
Yu Niao wanted to step forward, but Shang Yu covered her mouth and pulled her back, warning her softly not to act rashly.
That time at "Wangchun Middle School", the shadow left by Shang Yu was not only that he killed two child-like ghosts with his own hands.
There is also Qiu Yali’s bottomless attentiveness and cruelty towards ghosts.
To show her courtesy, she kept talking about the personal secrets of "Yu Tianqing" that interested the ghost.
Cruelly, she sent the little girls who looked like Yu Tianqing and Yu Niao into the mouth of the headless ghost.
The fact that she is still alive is purely due to fate and ruthlessness.
Based on Shang Yu's preliminary understanding of Qiu Yali, she feels that she is hypocritical and exquisitely egoistic. It is unknown how many little ones are in her mind. It is just luck that she does not pull you into trouble at the critical moment.
He knew that Yu Niao, a good person and a fool who cared about everyone, definitely didn't know who Qiu Yali was, and he didn't want her to come into contact with Qiu Yali and drag him down.
Gao Yuan didn't have a good impression of Qiu Yali and kept silent.
Yu Niao had no choice but to open Shang Yu's hand and nodded to express that she would not run away.
When the three of them looked up again, there was no one under the red lantern.
"If you three don't go find the box, what is the cat doing sneaking around here!!"
Yu and Shang were already immune to the voices behind their backs. Gao Yuan was shocked again when he saw Du Li's heavily made-up face.
"What? Am I scarier than a ghost?"
In Du Li's circle of friends, she has always been the eldest lady, and everyone else is a servant or lackey. She has always spoken in a condescending and arrogant tone.
Shang Yu and Gao Yuan did not answer the call.
Yu Niao doesn't know that either.
Thanks to Du Li's careless words in the mountains, her doubts were solved.
Mei Sheng was dragged to death, but the indirect perpetrator did not take it seriously and showed no guilt at all.
The same is true for Mei Sheng and for myself.
She had never felt so disgusted with an unfamiliar person from the bottom of her heart.
"Hey, if you don't want to cause trouble, come back quickly!"
Du Li stood there and saw that they were indifferent. She stamped her feet angrily and looked away. She saw a shadow on the ground and subconsciously dodged to the side.
