Chapter 812 The Haunted Dormitory 20
"I didn't hear anything last night." Ji Yan looked outside and saw that many people had already gotten up.
Zhao Lu clapped her hands, signaling everyone to listen to her: "I heard a dog barking last night."
"And then?" Yeltsin asked.
"Then I didn't open the door, but just kept calling for the security guard in a low voice at the door, and it really worked."
"From this perspective, we won't violate Rule 5 or Rule 2."
Xu Siyao also mentioned her experience last night: "I heard noises last night; something must have happened to someone on another floor."
Just as the group was about to ask her how she heard it, they realized they hadn't heard a sound at all.
Just then, faint voices came from one of the floors above.
Because they couldn't make loud noises, people on other floors could only hear a lot of people talking, but they couldn't make out what they were saying.
Hearing the noise, Xu Siyao and the others went out onto the balcony.
None of them knew what was happening upstairs, but Xu Siyao heard it clearly and knew that the person who died on the balcony on the seventh floor had been found.
"Judging from the noise, something must have happened on the sixth or seventh floor. Let's go up and check it out."
She said this to make everyone think that she just had better hearing, which is why she could hear the noises that they couldn't hear last night.
“Let’s go take a look.” Ji Yan nodded.
The group climbed three floors, and when they reached the seventh floor, a large crowd had already gathered on the balcony.
As they walked over, they saw a boy lying face up on the ground.
Judging from his complexion and the stiffness of his body, he must have been dead for several hours.
"Isn't this Qian Yang from the Computer Science Department?"
After Zhang Siyu clearly saw the person's face, she instantly recognized him, and her feelings were a mix of emotions.
"You know him?" Yeltsin asked casually, staring at the person on the ground.
“We were in the same club and talked a few times. I never expected him to die.”
Xu Siyao sensed the melancholy in her voice and patted her arm to comfort her.
"I'm fine." Zhang Siyu smiled and shook her head, composing herself.
After arriving in this place, she was not unprepared to die.
"He looks like he died of fright. You can see the fear in his eyes. Did he see something terrifying?"
"Could it be that I saw a ghost?"
"The last time it was so weird and scary, we got through the first hurdle, we can't be scared to death by seeing a ghost again, right?"
"This building looks eerie. Rule number two says you can't go out after 10 o'clock. He must have gone out, which is why he died."
Ji Yan listened to what the others were saying, glanced back, and saw that most people were stuck on this floor, while others were going upstairs.
He walked over to Xu Siyao and asked, "It seems something happened upstairs too?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the stairwell, and then down to the balcony on the twelfth floor, where quite a few people were also standing.
"Let's go up and take a look." Xu Siyao turned around decisively.
The people here have already seen it, and the cause of death is quite obvious.
Ji Yan nodded, keeping others at bay as he walked, preventing them from crowding her as she moved out.
Zhang Siyu noticed the interaction between the two and winked at Zhao Lu, her previous melancholy instantly disappearing.
Zhao Lu glanced at it and smiled slightly.
Upon reaching the twelfth floor, I followed the crowd into one of the apartments and saw a girl lying on the bed with blood flowing from all seven orifices.
"This looks like poisoning. Poisoning in TV dramas looks like this."
"You watch too many TV dramas. Do ghosts in these shows need to poison people to kill them?"
"It must have been a violation of the rules, but we don't know which one."
Xu Siyao covered her nose and glanced at the corpse. All the organs inside the body were broken into pieces, as if they had been shattered by something.
“The two people died in different ways. The one on the seventh floor went out, while the other didn’t. Could it be that one of them went out after hearing the cats and dogs barking, while the other didn’t?” Ji Yan said.
Yeltsin nodded: "That explanation makes sense. It seems that whether you call the security guard or go out, you're going to die."
After looking at it, Xu Siyao went back to the balcony.
A quick glance revealed that some players had likely returned to their eighth-floor apartment and were being invited over by their neighbors.
"We're here. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be invited by our neighbors when we go back later."
"I feel like I'm the first one," Zhang Siyu said, somewhat dejected.
Yeltsin touched his hair, already realizing that the second trial in this training ground would be more difficult than the first.
"We have no choice but to go back; we can only deal with whatever comes our way."
Back on the fourth floor, as they passed the rooms not far from the stairwell, the doors of two households were opened from the inside.
One household had a middle-aged woman walking out, and the other had a young man walking out.
The middle-aged woman walked towards Zhao Lu, while the young man walked towards Zhang Siyu.
Xu Siyao and her group were surprised to find that they had invited two people so soon after arriving.
Before leaving, Zhao Lu and Zhang Siyu only had time to give the three of them a glance before they went inside.
Ji Yan looked at the two tightly closed doors: "Could it be related to what they experienced last night?"
"Okay, let's go back and wait for them." Xu Siyao thought that was the right thing to do.
Zhang Siyu and Zhao Lu followed the person into the door with trepidation, but they didn't expect to see a living room or anything scary.
In the blink of an eye, they found themselves in a dark, rectangular room with no windows or doors.
There was only a wooden table in the very center, with a candle lit on it.
Besides the two of them, there were two other players in the room, a man and a woman, and the four of them looked at each other in bewilderment.
The man spoke first, saying, "Weren't we invited by our neighbors to visit? How did we end up here?"
"Look at the table, there's a piece of paper on it," Zhang Siyu suddenly reminded everyone.
Before the four of them reached the table, they looked at the contents of the paper on it.
Zhang Siyu read it aloud: "The Four Corners Game: Four people stand facing the wall in one corner and move counter-clockwise. One person walks to the next corner and taps the other on the shoulder. The person tapped continues moving. When someone reaches an empty corner, they must cough and pause for five seconds. Then the cycle repeats."
The girl's eyes showed a hint of fear: "Are we supposed to play this game? I heard that in the Four Corners game, a fifth person will appear."
"How do you know when the game is over? It doesn't say that here."
Zhao Lu saw the candles flicker, a reminder that it was time to begin: "Stop talking nonsense, we're already in, we can only leave after we've played."
"It's best not to break the rules of the game and to strictly enforce them, otherwise we won't be able to get out if something goes wrong."
After Zhang Siyu finished speaking, she shook Zhao Lu's hand, and the two encouraged each other before walking to a corner and standing facing the wall.
Seeing this, the remaining two quickly went to a corner and stood facing the wall.
As soon as the four people stood in place, the candles on the table were immediately extinguished.
