Chapter 709: Rock-Paper-Scissors Game
There is no doubt that the invisible "person" who scared the man to death was the real murderer of Meng Yumian.
It's a pity that with the man's death, all this will be covered up.
"Meng Yumian was a girl who loved beauty when she was alive. She was a good dancer and beautiful, especially her eyes, which seemed to have stars hidden in them." Yuan Xiaoyi recalled: "The reason why she wandered around the playground at midnight was to find herself. eyes."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng frowned, "After her eyes were gouged out, they were never found?"
"Yes." Yuan Xiaoyi retracted her hands into her sleeves and whispered: "The police only found one of her eyes at the scene, which was held tightly in her hand, as if it was poached first and then snatched away by Meng Yumian. came back, but the other one was never found.”
Yuan Xiaoyi looked up at Jiang Cheng, and the corners of her mouth moved, as if she had something to say, but finally stopped. Jiang Cheng nodded, understanding what she wanted to say.
Because of the man's death, all the clues were interrupted.
But after hearing this, Jiang Cheng had another thought. Could it be that what the "person" carrying the man wanted in the first place was Meng Yumian's eyes.
"In other words, if you want to find the lost Xiaolin, you must avoid Meng Yumian. If you meet her, something terrible will happen. Jiang Cheng continued to guide Yuan Xiaoyi, wanting to know more details about the strange story about the abandoned playground.
"You're right, senior, the strange stories about the abandoned playground revolve around the woman in red, Meng Yumian, and her missing eye." Yuan Xiaoyi looked at Jiang Cheng seriously, "It is rumored that she will marry everyone she finds. Play a game of guessing.”
"She would hold out two hands, clasping them both, and then people would guess which hand had the eyes."
"If she guesses correctly, she will let the person go and go to the next person. But if she guesses wrong," Yuan Xiaoyi's voice began to tremble, "she will gouge out the eyes of the person who guessed wrongly."
"Xiao Lin told me last night that if you want to enter the abandoned playground, you can only do it according to the method she said, and you must not make any mistakes in the process, otherwise you will be left behind forever like her."
Jiang Cheng began to concentrate. He knew that what Yuan Xiaoyi was going to say next should be related to rules.
Yuan Xiaoyi's eyes gradually became empty, as if she was reminiscing: "The first is how to enter the abandoned playground. Because something happened, the school specially arranged security guards to patrol the area. Although they don't go there often, meeting them will delay the next step. Be careful to avoid any action.”
“Starting at 12 o’clock, the abandoned playground will take on a different scene, like entering another world.
"If you want to enter this world, you must turn your back to the entrance in the northwest corner of the abandoned playground at 12 o'clock in the evening, close your eyes, and walk in backwards."
“It’s not a success until you can feel the raindrops falling on you and hear the sound of rain.”
Speaking of this, Yuan Xiaoyi paused and explained: "Because it has been raining on the playground in that world."
Jiang Cheng was thoughtful after hearing this. Meng Yumian, who turned into a female ghost in red, died on a rainy night.
It seems that the scene here is similar to the scene seen in the anatomy room of the medical building, and time seems to be frozen in that day forever.
"What do you need to do after entering?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"You need to go to the equipment room first. It is said that there are some things there that you can use." Yuan Xiaoyi said quickly: "It is a wooden box, located near the window. There are several eyes in it."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's expression couldn't help but change, "eyes"
"No, senior, don't get me wrong. They are not real eyes. I don't know the details, but Xiaolin said that these eyes are props needed for games."
"By the way, you must be careful to leave the equipment room immediately after getting the eyes, because Meng Yumian will appear soon."
"You need to spread out and hide. If she doesn't find you within the stipulated time, it's naturally best. If she does, then you have to play the guessing game I mentioned."
Jiang Cheng clearly remembered the one who had to have his eyes gouged out if he lost, "How long is the prescribed time?"
"One hour and 13 minutes." Yuan Xiaoyi affirmed: "You must leave the abandoned playground before 1:13 in the morning and leave through the door in the northwest corner."
"But this can only be regarded as a complete escape. If we want to completely put an end to this strange story, we still need to find Meng Yumian's real missing eye within this period of time and fulfill her wish."
Jiang Cheng was not very interested in ending the ghost story. What he wanted was to find Xiaolin alive within a limited time and then bring her out alive.
It would be best if he could solve the strange story along the way. If there was no chance, he would not force it, let alone risk it.
"By the way, when you are avoiding Meng Yumian, you must be careful. If she finds out, don't look up at her face. Something terrible will happen." Yuan Xiaoyi's expression and tone were very... Seriously, it seems like this thing is more important than everything before.
"I know." Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand, touched Yuan Xiaoyi's head, and said softly: "Thank you, Xiao Yi."
"Senior, you must pay more attention. I can feel Xiaolin's despair. It must be terrible there." Yuan Xiaoyi whispered.
"Don't worry."
After asking the right questions, Jiang Cheng stood up slowly. Looking out from his angle, he could still see Gao Yan's tangled face, which seemed to be extremely anxious.
"Xiao Yi, it's getting late. I still have some things to prepare. You should be more careful during this time."
After saying goodbye to Yuan Xiaoyi, Jiang Cheng walked out of the grove, and everyone surrounded him naturally. For them, Jiang Cheng was the clue.
Not here, everyone found a quiet place.
Jiang Cheng told everyone the clues he got. When he heard that he had to dig out his eyes if he lost the game, Wen Liangshan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly touched his right eye with his hand, as if to confirm whether the eye was still there.
When the fat man saw it, he leaned over and whispered to comfort him: "Brother Wen, don't worry, maybe the missing eye is the left eye, don't you think?"
Wen Liangshan's eyes immediately turned red.
After thinking, Shen Mengyun said: "From what you said, if we hide well enough, Meng Yumian won't be able to find us."
Everyone understood the meaning of her words. If they couldn't find us, then naturally they wouldn't participate in the weird-sounding rock-paper-scissors game, and they wouldn't die.
"It's easy to say, but it's probably difficult to do in practice." Gao Yan glanced at her and said in a gloomy voice: "I saw the playground when I came here. It's not very big, and there aren't many places to hide. I don't think it's realistic to escape the game by simply hiding."
