Chapter 166: Riddles

 Chu Changge knew that Gu Mian always liked to touch the ghosts in the dungeon.

But he had never seen Gu Mian directly chasing a ghost.

Thanks to this event, he has seen it now.

After Gu Mian's voice sounded, Chu Changge was lucky enough to see a ghost running faster than a rabbit.

I saw the white ghost figure at the door of the dressing room next door, without any hesitation, threw down the curtain in his hand and ran away, without even looking back.

It did not answer the question raised by Gu Mian.

Gu Mian, who stuck out his head, didn't hesitate at all. He hugged the chainsaw tightly and chased after him, shouting something like "Don't be afraid" while chasing.

Of course, Gu Mian still didn't catch up with the white figure in the end.

The ghost was indeed a ghost. He ran very fast. It only took a few seconds to escape from the door and then disappeared.

Gu Mian stopped at the door, glanced outside, and then closed the door silently.

At this time, Chu Changge also emerged from the last dressing room.

Gu Mian turned back to look at him.

He was not far from Chu Changge's initial position. After walking a few steps in the alley, Gu Mian ran into Chu Changge who was also looking for cover.

In the first fifteen minutes, no one was interested in guessing lantern riddles. All they could think about was finding a place to hide.

There was such a dressing room nearby. Gu Mian and Chu Changge hit it off immediately and hid in this place. Since the single rooms here were too small, they simply hid in two single rooms respectively.

Gu Mian hid better and didn't make any sound.

So at first the ghost only noticed that Chu Changge was the innermost person.

But it never expected that Gu Mian's face would appear in the penultimate dressing room.

In the end, the ghost didn't answer Gu Mian's question and ran away.

There are no lights in the locker room, so it's still very dark.

At this time, Chu Changge was looking at his game panel, and then said in a deep voice: "It's nineteen-eighteen now, and these ghosts outside will leave in two minutes."

Gu Mian spread her hands: "After we leave, can we roam the streets with great fanfare?"

Chu Changge tilted his head slightly: "I think you can wander the streets with great fanfare now."

Of course, Gu Mian didn't do anything so out of the ordinary in the end.

In the darkness, Chu Changge spoke: "In this event, ghosts will appear for five minutes every fifteen minutes. For other players, these five minutes are extremely dangerous, but it is not like this for you..."

As he spoke, he pushed up his glasses: "In fact, your dangerous time should be those fifteen minutes."

I don’t know how many players have poured into this place. Wherever there are people, there will be disputes, and some accidents will inevitably happen here.

"I remember there was a group of people paying attention to us before entering the event." Chu Changge looked towards the door.

At this time, there were still rustling sounds coming from outside.

Apart from these sounds, there were no other sounds outside. The players were hiding carefully at this time, not daring to make the slightest movement.

Therefore, the voices of the two people talking seemed a bit strange in the silent night.

The sound insulation effect of this place is not very good. At this time, a player was shivering and hiding in a large empty water tank not far from the locker room.

From time to time, rustling sounds came from beside him. Fortunately, those things passed by without any intention of opening the water tank to take a look.

Because it was very quiet, the sounds coming from the things outside seemed to be amplified many times and could be heard clearly.

He curled up into a ball and clung to the bottom of the water tank.

"There are less than two minutes left..." He looked at his game board and thought: "In less than two minutes, these ghosts will return to the lantern. I have to hold on!"

As he thought about it, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard someone's voice coming from outside.

The sound was extremely quiet, but he still heard it.

"What's going on?" The man was a little shocked and put his ear against the wall of the water tank: "Why did I hear someone talking? Who is so bold and risking his life?"

But even if he pressed his ears tightly against the water tank, he could only hear a little sound, and he could barely make out that it seemed like two people were communicating.

The rustling sounds around me never stopped, but none of them moved in the direction where the voices came from.

The man in the tank frowned in surprise: "When these few minutes pass, I must go and see what the two people over there are like!"

At this time, Chu Changge was still talking to Gu Mian in a lowered voice.

"Many people who come to participate in the event have bad intentions. You have to pay attention during the fifteen minutes of safety, especially the group of people we saw before entering the event."

Gu Mian nodded: "So to participate in this event, I not only have to guess lantern riddles and hide from ghosts, but I also have to avoid other players?"

Chu Changge paused slightly: "You may not need to hide from ghosts."

Gu Mian touched his chin, then walked to the only window in the room.

This window is a bit strange, it is very small, at the height of a person, and when Gu Mian walks to the side, only one head can be exposed.

He looked outside.

I saw a few white shadows flashing past the window. They were moving very fast, and Gu Mian couldn't see clearly.

The only things that can be seen clearly are those that are still.

At this time, the two of them were in a place similar to a courtyard, and the dressing room was in a corner of the courtyard.

There are some green plants in the courtyard, and some tracks are set up on the ground, which seem to be used for filming.

Looking up, a white lantern hung above, emitting a faint light and illuminating this ghost place.

At this time, Gu Mian saw something moving among the green plants in the courtyard.

He took a closer look and saw that there seemed to be a hat in the green flower bed, but within a few seconds, the hat suddenly shrank down and then disappeared without a trace.

Gu Mian: "..."

I always feel like I have seen this hat before somewhere.

And soon, the remaining two minutes passed.

There was finally no sound outside, and it was already nineteen twenty-one.

The dangerous five minutes have passed.

But at this time, few people dared to come out. Everyone was still immersed in the horror just now, and prepared to wait and see for a while, waiting until they were sure it was completely safe before going out.

At this time, Gu Mian had already started to take action.

He quickly opened the door and looked outside. Not far away there were several water tanks that seemed to be used to grow lotus flowers, all with lids on them.

In the middle of the courtyard is a flower bed, which is full of green. I don’t know whether it is a real plant or a fake plant.

Gu Mian took a special look into the flower bed. There were no ghosts, let alone hats.

Opposite their door is a corridor. Looking forward along the corridor, there is a mansion at the end.

Chu Changge looked at the scene in front of him: "This place has been touched."

"Have you been passive?" Gu Mian was a little surprised.

Chu Changge glanced at the moon in the sky, and then nodded: "The layout was not like this before."

Previous layout…

Gu Mian also looked at the sky, then touched his chin: "Have you been here before?"

He and Chu Changge had known each other since childhood, and he couldn't remember when this friend, who was also an orphan, came to Hengdian.

Chu Changge nodded without answering: "Let's guess the lantern riddles."

Gu Mian didn't ask any questions. He looked around and saw a white lantern hanging in the corridor.

He walked a few steps to the lantern and looked up at the lantern riddles below.

"In the mirror of an empty room, if a person turns his back to the mirror for a minute and extinguishes all the light sources, what will he see when he suddenly turns around?"
