Chapter 2, Supernatural Games
Truly foolish
What do they really want to do
Mo Shoucheng: I did not call you, nor did I hear anyone else calling you. Where exactly are you
The female cleaner shook her head: "There isn't any, each floor only has one public restroom, what's the matter?"
It seems that Liu Lei is not here, but he clearly sent a WeChat message just now saying that he was hiding in the public restroom on the 10th floor. Has he already left
Mo Shoucheng exited the men's restroom, his gaze landing on the door of the women's restroom across the way. Although he felt it was somewhat inappropriate, his urgency to find Liu Lei overshadowed his concerns.
He quickly turned the lock knob around once, then pressed down the handle, and the door indeed opened
Ah, it's nothing, you may go about your work. Mo Shoucheng dismissed the female cleaner
This time, there are a total of four people who came out to play together, including Mo Shoucheng, Liu Lei, and Zou Qianqian, as well as Zou Qianqian's roommate, Qin Xiaolan
Upon seeing this message, Mo Shoucheng was taken aback. He did not call out to Liu Lei, nor did he hear anyone else calling, yet Liu Lei claimed that someone was calling him. This indicates that they were not in the same place at all
After dinner today, Zou Qianqian suddenly suggested playing a popular online paranormal game called "Elevator Game".
As the distance closed in, Mo Shouchen's fear grew exponentially. He began to slam against the door with all his might, but despite the pain in his shoulder, the door remained intact.
The voice is exactly the same as mine
I just finished cleaning, and there is no one inside
Liu Lei mentioned in WeChat that he is hiding in the public restroom on the 10th floor, which is exactly on the 10th floor, and the public restroom is at the other end of the corridor
Mo Shoucheng felt somewhat reluctant: "So... are there any other public restrooms on this floor?"
Although the door did not burst open, the pain instead calmed Mo Shoucheng down. He suddenly remembered that while he had been preoccupied with turning the doorknob, he had completely forgotten to check whether the door was locked from the inside.
While preparing to escape, he held his breath and listened carefully, but there was no sound coming from behind the door, as if the people inside had vanished.
Is it a person
Qin Xiaolan had little interest in this type of game, and Mo Shoucheng knew that Liu Lei intended to use this opportunity at m.hetushu.com to confess to Zou Qianqian. Naturally, he would not be foolish enough to act as a third wheel, so in the end, only Liu Lei and Zou Qianqian participated in the game.
Liu Lei's walking posture is quite peculiar; with each step he takes, his center of gravity leans forward slightly, and both of his hands stretch out in front of him, resembling a staggering zombie
Mo Shoucheng leaned against the wall, holding his phone in confusion, his heart engulfed in deep fear. Why did Liu Lei say he was hiding in the public restroom, yet he could not be seen here?
Mo Shoucheng: I am currently in the public restroom on the 10th floor, but I do not see you!
Why is there another version of myself and another Liu Lei
Mo Shouchen was nearly terrified out of his wits by the scene before him. He frantically twisted the doorknob, but just like in the scenes often seen in horror films, the door simply would not open
He quickly sent a WeChat message to warn Liu Lei that the person was not himself and urged him not to respond. However, this time, Liu Lei did not send any WeChat messages back.
What is going on? Could it be that the one in the room who looks very much like Liu Lei, along with the book monster, is really a zombie? Otherwise, how could it not even open the door?
He then pushed open the remaining two compartments, but there was still no one inside; Liu Lei was not here at all
Is it on the other side
He walked to the entrance of the women's restroom, first looking around to the left and right. After confirming that there was no one nearby, he gently knocked on the door and asked, "Is anyone inside?"
Mo Shoucheng was cursing himself inwardly; however, this could not entirely be blamed on him. Regardless of who it is, when faced with fear, one is bound to experience some degree of mental short-circuiting.
They ... ...
Liu Lei: Is someone outside calling me, is it you?
Arriving at the entrance of the public restroom, the men's toilet is on the left. He pushed the door open and walked in. The space is not very large; aside from the urinals, there are only three stalls. However, the doors of the three stalls are all slightly ajar, suggesting that no one is hiding inside.
At the moment when "Liu Lei" reached out his hand, Mo Shouchen sidestepped and slipped out through the gap of the half-open door, then casually pulled the door shut behind him
Liu Lei: Did you not call me? But I heard someone outside calling my name, and the voice sounded exactly like yours
Mo Shoucheng steeled himself, tiptoeing along the wall for a few steps, and then stopped about four or five meters away from the door.
Mo Shoucheng certainly did not have the courage to open the door and see if anyone was still inside. He decided to first find the real Liu Lei, and then figure out how everything had come to be.
The corridor's lighting provided Mo Shoucheng with a slight sense of security. He ran to a nearby corner and peeked around the wall, anxiously staring at the door he had just escaped from. However, after waiting for quite some time, he did not see anyone from the room pursuing him.
Is there anyone inside? Mo Shoucheng inquired
At this moment, Liu Lei had already reached the door of the bathroom. With the light from inside, Mo Shoucheng saw that this person looked exactly like Liu Lei. However, from this face, he could not perceive any vitality of a living person, which further convinced him that the individual before him was not Liu Lei at all
Perhaps due to excessive fright, in the silent corridor, Mo Shuchen could clearly hear the sound of his own heartbeat, which made his already unsettled heart even more tense
"Sir, how may I assist you?" The female cleaner watched Mo Shoucheng warily, yet her words remained polite
Mo Shoucheng took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Liu Lei, asking where he was at the moment. To his surprise, he received a reply just as soon as the message was sent.
As soon as the words were spoken, the door of the women's restroom swung open, startling Mo Shoucheng, who quickly took two steps back. However, what emerged was neither a ghost nor Liu Lei, but a female staff member dressed in a cleaning uniform.
Where do they actually come from
Finally escaped
Mo Shoucheng suddenly recalled that Liu Lei had mentioned in a WeChat message that the game was real. Could it be that all this bizarre phenomenon was caused by that supernatural game
After waiting for a long time, there was still no response on WeChat. Just as Mo Shoucheng was about to inquire about the situation, Liu Lei sent another message on WeChat.
Mo Shoucheng cautiously walked to the first compartment, gently pushed open the door, and found it empty.
Mo Shoucheng suddenly recalled the terrifying experience in the room earlier. Could the same thing have happened to Liu Lei?
Liu Lei: I am still here, have you arrived?
However, no one expected that this supernatural game circulating online was actually real
