As soon as Wei Rong finished speaking, Jun Feifei let out a shriek.
"How dare you play this kind of game?"
Qu Ruorui quickly put up her index finger, "Shh, keep it down."
Jun Feifei trembled, her voice quivering, "Isn’t it good to cherish life?"
There’s a saying that the older you get in the underworld, the more cowardly you become.
As someone who had experienced two terrifying incidents, Jun Feifei was much more cowardly than the average person.
It was now popular to rent discs to watch at home, especially horror movies.
Things like ’Midnight Ringing’ and ’Taoist Ghost Catching’.
While others could watch them and move on, Jun Feifei regarded them as documentaries.
After hearing that in one of the ghost movies, the ghost emerged from a videotape, she almost threw out the family’s DVD player.
Wei Rong opened another pack of snacks, unconcerned, "It’s all fake, we played it, and nothing happened."
Only Yue Qingqing looked completely puzzled, "What game are you talking about?"
Wei Rong crumpled the snack bag into a ball, making a rustling noise.
"You’re too immersed in your studies, haven’t you heard? It’s quite popular now, I heard other schools are also playing it."
Jun Feifei briefly explained it to Yue Qingqing.
The Corner Game involved finding a square empty room after dark and turning off all the lights.
There were four participants, each standing in a different corner, facing the wall and forbidden from looking behind.
After the game started, the person in one corner would walk to another corner, lightly tap the shoulder of the person in front, and take their place.
The tapped person would then continue to the next corner, with all four participants moving in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction .
When the fourth person moved down, they would walk into the first person’s vacant corner, where they must cough once and pause for a few seconds before continuing forward, until they tapped someone on the shoulder.
Yue Qingqing listened to the explanation and didn’t think there was anything wrong, "It seems... not very fun."
Just the atmosphere sounded a bit scary.
Jun Feifei curled up, "What are you talking about, I heard that as the game goes on, you’ll find that the coughing sound disappears, and all you can hear is the ongoing footsteps in the room."
"This means that unknowingly an extra person has entered the room, so... who is the extra person?"
Silence fell all around, even Yue Qingqing felt affected by the atmosphere and became politely scared.
Who could it be... definitely not a ghost.
Ghosts lack a physical form and can only use various methods to scare people to death, extinguishing the two lamps on their shoulders to ease their haunting.
Ordinary people, radiating strong living energy, are avoided by ghosts who worry about getting scattered after a chance encounter.
Of course, ghosts cultivated into solid forms by Ghost Cultivators are a different matter altogether.
Wei Rong laughed out loud, "Don’t say, two weeks ago on the weekend, Zhang Mingming, Luo Jie, and Gao Mengzhu, along with me went to Zhang Mingming’s basement to play this game, and after a while... it was exactly like what Feifei said, we couldn’t hear a cough for a long time, just deep footsteps echoing in the room."
"Stop talking, I don’t want to hear it..." Jun Feifei stood up, grabbed her bag, and rushed out the door.
The way she dashed as if someone was chasing her.
"Oh, scaredy-cat, I wasn’t even finished," Wei Rong continued: "Later, Gao Mengzhu got so scared she cried and nervously turned on the basement light, only to find out it was Li Tu, in the same class as Zhang Mingming and also lived nearby."
"That Zhang Mingming is so mean, isn’t he? Just to scare us, he deliberately had Li Tu hide in his basement, and sneak out after we started the game, scaring Gao Mengzhu to tears."
Qu Ruorui speechless, "That’s too mean!"
Yue Qingqing felt they were missing the point, if it was just this, then everyone should be safe and sound.
Then Wei Rong added, "Could I just put up with being tricked? Of course not, out of vengeance for Gao Mengzhu, I suggested we play ’Pen Immortal’."
Yue Qingqing, Qu Ruorui: "..."
It really is true that if you don’t stir up trouble, you won’t die.
