Chapter 716 Four Corners Game

Zhou Yu didn't really want to get involved in the activities of the Ghost Story Club.

Up to now, Zhou Yu and Zhang Mumu's communication is beyond his ability to stop, but it is limited to ordinary friendship, there is no need for excessive contact.

After returning home, he immediately looked through Zhou Yu's cell phone and diary, and roughly figured out what happened in the past two months.

In a nutshell, Zhou Yu was invited by Zhang Mumu to join the club.At that time, the Weidan Club was preparing to hold an event, and Zhou Yu proposed to borrow an abandoned store near her home—judging from this rare initiative, she really liked Zhang Mumu.This further strengthened Zhou Yu's determination to draw a line with that terrifying mascot.

As for the "abandoned shop" mentioned by Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu didn't need to think too much about it. He was undoubtedly referring to the abandoned clothing store that hadn't been rented out for several months.Although there are more than one closed shops nearby, they are so dilapidated that people can come in and out at will, and there is absolutely no need to worry about being held accountable, basically only that one.

What's more unfortunate is that the office worker who rented the same room as Zhou Yu left his job and moved away before the Chinese New Year.The landlord is quite picky about the tenants, and he couldn't find a new tenant that he liked for a while, so Zhou Yu was the only one living alone in the entire house for the time being.

After learning about this situation, Zhang Mumu, who had probably been raised by his parents, became even more unscrupulous.Not only do they want to play some horror games nearby, but they also want to spend the night at Zhou Yu's house and play together - if Zhou Yu is not mistaken, this "play" probably means watching horror movies.

The event was held on February [-]th, the day after school started, that is, the night after tomorrow.Because it happened that all the staff in the agency did not have morning classes on the [-]th, so going back later would not have much impact.

All in all, this event was a certainty, and it was too late for Zhou Yu to refuse.

After figuring this out, he immediately went to the abandoned clothing store, took out the two bad-looking models, and threw them into the bushes outside the block.After confirming that there were no suspicious traces in the store, he began to think about how to deal with club activities.

The so-called "four-corner game", as Chen Wei said, can be found in detail on the Internet.

The method is roughly as follows: In a completely closed dark room, each of the four players occupies a corner.After the start, player A moves forward until it reaches the corner where player B is, and pats player B on the shoulder.Player B also moves forward after being slapped, going to the corner where player C is.Similarly, Player C moves to Player D's corner.

At the end of such a cycle, player D will move to the empty corner originally occupied by A.At this time, the corner is occupied by player D alone, and he should not be able to photograph anyone, so he must first cough as a sign.Only after the cough is over can you continue to move forward, repeating the behavior of player A in the previous round.

Repeating the position shift like this, theoretically speaking, every round of movement must have someone walk to the vacant corner and cough, indicating the end of a round of movement.

So far, this is what happens under common sense.

The reason why this "game" is regarded as a psychic ritual is because of the follow-up part.

It is said that when the game progresses to a certain stage, the coughing sound will no longer appear.

Originally, in a game played by four people, every fourth move, there must be a cough.Under the premise that all participants obeyed the rules, no one went to the empty corner, that is to say, a fifth participant appeared in the absolutely closed room.

Naturally, the fifth person is the "ghost" who was recruited.

Unlike Ouija board games such as Pen Fairy and Die Fairy, "Four Corners Game" also has a rather gimmicky feature, that is, there is no formal ending method.As long as there is no coughing sound, it means that this round of the game is not over.

When there are five participants, this is an endless loop with no solution.

In this regard, Zhou Yu did not believe it emotionally.The four of them moved around in a room, which sounded like a human body, and he was not interested in it at all.

For this kind of psychic game, as long as there are multiple people participating, the principle of producing weirdness is similar.The pen fairy and the dish fairy must be carried out by more than two people, precisely because the participants will exert unconscious psychological hints on each other.The unconscious twitching and trembling of one participant's fingers will be interpreted by the other side as a manifestation of supernatural force, and then also unconsciously exerting directional force.

It is obviously the result of the joint efforts of the two, but they will inevitably say "I definitely did not cheat" when they ask each other.

However, compared to Ouija board games, the design of this four-corner game is more complicated, almost ruling out the possibility of participants unconsciously "cheating".

But having four people locked in the same dark room and repeating mechanical behavior undoubtedly encouraged one of them to engage in mischievous cheating.As long as the cheater deliberately does not cough when he walks to an empty corner, and then returns to his original position after moving on, the person who should cough in the next round will still be the cheater, and he can control the game infinitely.

At the beginning of the game, the four of them may not have the idea of ​​cheating, but as long as this boring behavior pattern continues, the fear of ghosts will naturally disappear.It is conceivable that some of them must have thought of this method, because this cheating method is too simple, even if they didn't think of it at first, they will naturally understand it during the game.

From Zhou Yu's point of view, he thought that if anything unusual happened on the day of the game, Chen Wei would be the biggest suspect, followed by Xin Susu.

Because of Zhang Mumu's stable intelligence level, let's rule out the possibility of cheating for now.

Originally, it didn't matter if Zhou Yu was allowed to participate in an event like this.If Zhou Yu participated, it would be very troublesome to forge diaries afterwards to make up for the gaps in memory.

However, he has not forgotten what happened two months ago.

The female swordsman who pierced his chest with a sword, and all the grotesques related to her, are enough to prove that common sense cannot gain a foothold in this world, at least in this city.

That being the case, is that female swordsman really the only anomaly in the city?

To prevent accidents, Zhou Yu decided to participate in the game himself.

But that was just a temporary deal. In the future, he didn't plan to have any contact with the members of the Ghost Story Club.There's only one thing that really matters.

He wanted to find the female swordsman.

During the two months when he had no memory, Zhou Yu and Zhang Mumu maintained close contact, so it can be deduced that the personality switch did not happen, which must be related to what the female swordsman did to him.

After arranging the abandoned clothing store, he turned on his phone and took a look. It was eight o'clock in the evening, and there was still time before midnight.

He decided to look for the other party around Osier Road again, and ask all the questions in his heart.This kind of search operation is completely hit and miss, so the sooner you start, the better, and you may miss it if you are late.

Maybe this time, he will still be attacked by the opponent.But that strange sword didn't seem to kill him, and didn't even leave any scars, so Zhou Yu didn't feel worried, but just felt strange.

——He saw the female swordsman chopping people into pieces with that weapon. It was definitely not a beautiful laser sword toy.Even when fighting a female swordsman, his hands and feet were cut and bled by the blade.

Why didn't the mortal wound alone work?

After thinking about it, I can only think that it is controlled by the female swordsman.Maybe it's the characteristics of the sword itself, or maybe it's the treatment the other party did after he fell into a coma.No matter how much they hated each other intuitively, the other party probably didn't intend to kill Zhou Yu, and also let Zhang Mumu go.

Based on this alone, Zhou Yu believes that the other party has the value of communication.

He reached into his pocket, where his switchblade lay quietly.

Stepping on the ground full of rain, he walked towards the station.
