Chapter 711 Eyeball
Behind the wall wrapped in plastic sheeting is a huge mirror. ReadМ
Looking through the raised corner of the cloth, the mirror was covered with dust. What Boon Liang Shan saw was his own face reflected in the mirror.
The fat man was close, and the moment he saw the mirror, his expression turned strange.
He had encountered a similar scene in another mission, and it left a very deep impression on him.
"Found it." Wang Qi's voice was very special. He turned over a dark red wooden box under a window.
The wooden box is not big, just like a jewelry box, but it feels very heavy when you hold it. If you look closely, you can find exquisite dark patterns on it.
When you shine a flashlight on it, the dark patterns on it flow like water waves, which is very magical.
After opening it, it turned out to be eyes.
There were seven in total. Wang Qi took out one and observed it carefully.
Although it is made of glass, the workmanship is so realistic that they were really surprised when they first opened it.
After looking at them for a long time, they actually had the illusion that these eyes were alive and looking at them.
Gao Yan looked at the eyes in the wooden box and whispered: "There are 7 eyes in total. There are 7 of us. It seems that each of us is allowed to take one.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of heavy objects falling to the ground not far behind him. The legs of a wooden table were broken, and the debris on it rolled to the floor.
"This place is too weird, let's get out as soon as possible." Wen Liangshan hadn't recovered from the mirror thing yet, and was startled by the broken table again, and he was a little bit confused.
"Wait a minute." Shen Mengyun suddenly said, then took out a glass eyeball from the wooden box, looked at it and then said: "Look, what's the difference between these two eyes?"
Both eyes are oval, but if you look carefully, you can see that the left eye of Wang Qi's hand is slightly raised, while the right eye of Shen Mengyun's hand is slightly raised.
"One left eye, one right eye." Jiang Cheng said.
The fat man was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Why do you still have left and right eyes?"
After statistics, there were 3 left eyes and 4 right eyes in the box.
Now everyone was confused. According to what they thought at the beginning, they only needed to guess which of Meng Yumian's clenched hands had eyes.
Then he placed the glass eyeball in his hand in front of the hand that placed the bet.
If the guess is correct, Meng Yumian will leave to find the next person. If the guess is wrong, Meng Yumian will keep his eyes obediently.
The glass eyeball is just a marker, there is no need to distinguish between left and right.
But now it seems that this game is not that simple.
"Is this the case? Do you still remember? When Meng Yumian died, the body was still holding an eye in its hand." Gao Yan said: "Maybe the so-called guessing game is just a cover. What we really want to guess is her hand. Is the remaining eye the left eye or the right eye?”
As this conjecture was raised, the way everyone looked at the glass eyes in the box also changed.
If this is the case, then from the moment they choose the glass eyeball, their ending is already doomed.
For example, if Meng Yumian has the left eye in his hand, then only 3 people who take away the left eye can survive, and conversely, there are 4 people who take away the right eye.
The person who took the wrong eyeball was destined to have his eyeball gouged out and die in an extremely miserable way from the moment he was found by Meng Yumian.
Of course, it would be best if Meng Yumian could not be found, but how could it be so easy to escape the pursuit of the evil ghost?
"Mr. Jiang, do you really not remember which eye Meng Yumian lost in the story?" Wang Qi threw the eyeball in his hand back into the box, tilted his head and looked at Jiang Cheng, and asked with a playful look.
"I asked, and Yuan Xiaoyi said she didn't remember." Jiang Cheng replied.
"In that case, please make your choice first." Wang Qi held the wooden box and handed it to Jiang Cheng, still looking that annoying.
Jiang Cheng took out one without looking at it.
Before the fat man could tell whether Jiang Cheng was holding the left eye or the right eye, Wang Qi and Gao Yan quickly stretched out their hands and each took out a glass eyeball from the box.
When he reacted, all that was left in the box was his right eye.
There was nothing to choose from now. The remaining people each had one right eye. Wen Liangshan stared at the right eyeball in his hand, as if he was about to cry in the next second.
Seeing that he was upset, Huaiyi was about to teach him a lesson, but when Jiang Cheng shook his head slightly, he gave up.
After the eyeballs were divided, the next step was the hiding place. Everyone decided to hide separately, so as to distract the ghost to the maximum extent and delay time.
Not counting the playground itself, there are several hiding places nearby, including the bathroom in the northwest corner, the grove in the south, the unfinished building, the viewing platform, the bell tower, and the one place that no one would probably choose - the equipment room.
"I'm going to the bell tower, you can do whatever you want." Wang Qi waved his hand and turned to leave.
"I found a quagmire on the way here. I could hide there." After Gao Yan finished speaking, he also left. It seemed that he himself knew that he was not welcome here.
After the two of them left, Shen Mengyun exhaled and looked at Jiang Cheng again, "Mr. Jiang"
Unexpectedly, before the words were spoken, Jiang Cheng picked up the eyeball in his hand and said very calmly: "We can change it if you want."
This time it was Shen Mengyun's turn to be stunned. After a moment, she shook her head, "I believe you, Mr. Jiang, but that's not what I want to say. What I want to say is that I want to go to the woods."
"That's where the crime happened. I want to try and see if I can find Meng Yumian's missing eye first, and then put an end to this strange story."
"The possibility is small, and the risk is great." Jiang Cheng commented objectively, "Be careful."
"Yeah, you too." Shen Mengyun walked to the door and suddenly stopped, tilting his head and said, "Don't trust Gao Yan, he's unreliable. Also, that Wang Qi is also problematic, there's something strange about him."
After Shen Mengyun left, there were only three people left, Jiang Cheng and Wen Liangshan.
Jiang Cheng raised his chin, "You're welcome, you guys choose first."
In fact, he wanted to say one more thing, anyway, it's the same, you'll be found wherever you hide, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it.
Fatty chose the viewing platform, Huai Yi chose the unfinished building, and then there was only the bathroom in the northwest corner and the equipment room under his feet.
Of course, there was also an empty playground.
This equipment room looked strange, so it was naturally ruled out. It was obvious that Wen Liangshan wanted to choose the bathroom. Although it was not very good, it was better than running wildly in the rain and being chased by ghosts in the empty playground.
But if he chose it, then Jiang Cheng would be the one running wildly in the rain.
In other words, even if he chose it, would Jiang Cheng and his two brothers agree?
"The bathroom is for you." Jiang Cheng put away the eyeball in his hand and said, "I owe you a favor, so I'll repay you."
