【Ruijin】Escape

Jin stood at the door of the classroom, with his back against the door, still holding half of the mop pole in his right hand.There is no light in the classroom, and the heavy rain outside the window can be seen through the window glass. What is strange is that in the heavy rain, there is still a huge moon hanging in the sky. The moonlight penetrates into the window, barely reflecting the outline of the classroom .

The faceless girl sitting in the middle of the classroom didn't move, she just quietly faced Jin's direction with her empty face.

The girl held two eyeballs between her slender fingers, and the two eyeballs were struggling hard, but they couldn't escape from the girl's palm.

"he he he he he……"

Low, vague laughter spread in the classroom, the voice was very clear, with the vivacity of a girl, but at this moment, it only made people's hair stand on end.

"It's fun, it's fun~"

The faceless girl didn't move, and she didn't look like she had any inclination to hurt Jin, so Jin pursed her lips and mustered up the courage to speak as naturally as possible: "Well, how are you?"

The opponent's face was still facing Jin's direction, and he didn't move.

Having already opened his mouth, Jin could only bite the bullet and say, "The... uh, things in your hand were lost by another person, and I promised that person to help her find them back, so... can you take them back? give me back?"

The crisp laughter stopped abruptly.

There was a dead silence in the classroom.

The eyeball in the girl's hand didn't know if she sensed danger, she struggled harder and harder, and the girl's fingers became more and more forceful, the veins on her wrist burst out, and if this continued, the eyeball would be crushed!

"Wait a minute! Don't get excited!" Jin was taken aback—if the eyeball was really crushed, the woman on the wall might crawl over to dig his eyeball in the next second!

"I really promised that person... how can you give them back to me?"

This was obviously the right question, because the faceless girl calmed down, and she even tilted her head, as if thinking about Jin's question.

After a while, a girl's voice sounded in the classroom: "I'm so bored by myself."

"I finally came in with a fun toy, and it will be taken away by you."

"Then come and play games with me. If you win, I'll give it back to you. If you lose..."

On the faceless girl's paper-smooth cheeks, there was a slit suddenly, and a fat tongue protruded from it, covered with saliva, and licked back and forth, making the girl's face wet, making a sucking sucking sound. the sound of.

The tongue retracted again, and the girl's face went blank again.

"...You just stay and play games with me forever~"

Jin stood by the door without moving, silent for two seconds, then he nodded: "Then let's agree, if I win, you have to return them to me, and let me go through the classroom door safely go out!"

The faceless girl didn't make a sound, but the crisp laughter disappeared again.

Facing the silence in the room and the faceless girl who "hidden her secrets", Jin's heartbeat has gradually returned to normal - no matter how scary things are, they will become numb even if they see too much in front of them.What's more, the faceless girl can obviously communicate, which is much better than the mannequin who already knew that his stomach was empty.

...that's all I can think of.Jin resignedly comforted himself in his heart.

Gray told him that all the ghosts here want to take the lives of the living, and they will die if they are not careful.

Gray never joked, let alone such a life-and-death matter.

Jin listened to Gray's words, and it was firmly imprinted in his mind, so by this time he had discovered the trap of the faceless girl-she only said that if Jin won, she would give Jin the eyeballs back, but there was no promise Let Kim leave safely after that.

"It's agreed... If you win, I will give you back the eyeballs. If you lose, you will always play with me."

After the silence, the girl's voice sounded, and she repeated stubbornly, ignoring Jin's words.

"No, if I can win, you give me back the eyeballs, and you must let me leave safely!" Under the pressure coming to his face, Jin refused to give in at all, "If you promise, I will play games with you, otherwise, Not only will I not play with you, but I will also snatch away the eyeballs, so you can continue to be bored alone!"

"........."

"First, let me tell you first, I am very powerful, don't force me to do it!"

The silence was like sea water, almost suffocating Jin, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word of relaxation or softness.

Agreeing to play a game with a faceless girl is in itself bad luck. Jin is very clear that he is not good at those brain-burning games. If he plays this type of game, it can be said that his chances of winning are quite small.But if this is the case, after winning the game with great painstaking efforts, there is still no guarantee of safe departure——then it would be better to tear your face now.

All ghosts have their weaknesses. As long as they are not intimidated by fear and work hard, they will definitely find their weaknesses. At that time, even if they can be defeated easily, they will definitely have a chance of winning!

After making up his mind, Jin felt that the psychological burden was much less. He calmed down and waited for the faceless girl's answer with full vigilance.

"...Okay, I promise you, if you win, I will let you go."

Finally, the girl's unwilling voice sounded, she gritted her teeth, every word was full of strong resentment.

"Give me back the two eyeballs!" Jin was like a miser, holding on to the negotiated treaty without giving an inch-this is a matter of life and death.

"Okay." The faceless girl slapped her two eyeballs heavily on the table, her voice suddenly sharpened, "But I've changed my mind, I hate you very much now! If you lose, you can't stay and play games with me, You will become my ration and be eaten alive by me!"

The long slit opened, and a fat, drooling tongue protruded, wagging up and down sucking and sucking.

"Hee hee... Do you still agree to this? If you agree, let's start playing the game~"

Being eaten alive is obviously not an exaggeration.

Jin didn't hesitate at all, and walked straight to the middle of the classroom, and sat down on a chair in front of the faceless girl's desk, with his back straight: "I promise you, let's start!"

The sound of high heels hitting the floor faded away.

Gray still didn't dare to move, his back was full of cold sweat, not because he felt hot under the quilt, but because he desperately mobilized all his senses to catch the whereabouts of the female nurse as much as possible.

According to the experience of the last face-to-face meeting, Gray has only discovered one "weakness" of the female nurse-although she holds a sharp scalpel in both hands, but at the same time, her hands can only hold the scalpel, so she only She can chop or stab with a scalpel, and she can't complete all the subtle movements that require the flexible coordination of five fingers.

But to be honest, this weakness did not comfort Gray - the fastened knot can be directly cut off, and the drawn curtain can also be directly picked apart or even cut. If the quilt cannot be lifted, it will be easier Just poke the quilt full of holes with two scalpels.

Taking the risk of hiding oneself tightly in the hospital bed is both a last resort and a gamble.

Just like the plastic body joints of the mannequin cannot be bent, the portrait can only monitor the whereabouts but cannot cause actual damage, the little female ghost cannot easily leave the toilet cubicle... All ghosts have some kind of "restriction", and it is in line with their identity restrict.Once or twice may be accidental. After three days, he encountered all kinds of ghosts almost continuously. Gray has a clear understanding of this. At the same time, he is more and more convinced that there must be a way to leave here. .

If it is really possible to easily take the lives of living people, why must it take so much trouble, and even arrange the weakness of ghosts to give living people a chance to escape?

This is not a one-sided killing, this is a game that costs lives.

He chose to hide on the hospital bed because he was betting on the restriction of the female nurse's "nurse" status.Her identity is obvious, wearing a white nurse's uniform and a nurse's cap, and what is noticeable is that the blood only drips from her scalpel, and there is no drop of blood on her clothes.

Gray speculated that maybe because she was a "nurse", she couldn't hurt people lying on the hospital bed.

Nurses cannot harm patients.

This guess is only [-]% sure, but Gray didn't have any time to choose at that time. He quickly hid in the infirmary, covered the quilt and drew the curtains, and even pulled the IV rack by the bedside, pretending to be sick. I am playing saline solution myself.

It seemed to be effective. The female nurse walked back and forth around him many times, but she never opened the curtain to check. But she was quite reconciled and wandered around for a long time.

Gray didn't dare to relax, until he heard the sound of the female nurse's heels receding away, he heaved a sigh of relief—but he was only slightly relaxed. The female nurse's departure could only prove that he was right in his bet. In fact, it is the patient that the female nurse cannot harm, otherwise, the female nurse would have already done it.

But on the other hand, the more unfavorable situation is that unless it is determined that the female nurse is completely away, he will be trapped on this bed.

The female nurse obviously didn't give up easily, the sound of her heels disappeared for a long time, so long that even Gray wondered if she had really left—then suddenly, with a "hiss", the curtains around the hospital bed were slammed rip!

Gray's breathing was stagnant, and he covered the quilt over his head, so he couldn't see the situation outside now, and he could only intuitively feel that the female nurse was staring fiercely at the bed.

——So what if you stare?Anyway, you can't kill me now.

I don't know if the situation is really incomprehensible, but Gray actually has some teasing thoughts, but this kind of naughty and annoying thoughts are more like Jin would have.

This made Gray, who had been tense all the time for the past three days, feel a little relieved. Only he knew that if he continued, even if he had the hope of escaping from here, he would not be able to hold on.

It's too dangerous here, Jin didn't come, he felt lucky from the bottom of his heart; but from the bottom of his heart, selfishly, and irrelevant... he thought it was great that Jin was here.

"Now is the time for physical examination. Please cooperate with the patient and get out of bed for examination." The female nurse's cold voice sounded.

Sorry, the patient fell asleep.Gray said in his heart, and at the same time he was thinking of ways quickly, each idea was formed, and each one was rejected by him.

There is no chance of winning recklessly, but you have to find a way.

I have to hurry up to find gold.

"Let's play poker guessing~"

The faceless girl took out a pack of playing cards, opened them and piled them up on the side of the table: "This is my favorite game~ It's simple and interesting~"

"I haven't played this before, how do I play it?" Jin pursed his lips, staring at the deck of playing cards.

"It's very simple." The girl smiled. If it weren't for her irrelevant face, just listening to her voice at this time, she could almost be said to be an ordinary lively girl. A poker card is placed face down on the table, another person picks one, looks after it, and then the person who takes the card shuffles the cards. Which one, it is considered a win, otherwise, it is considered a loss."

"How many times shall we play?" Jin is not good at hiding his face, and his expression is quite bad at this moment. This is a game purely based on eyesight, and the difficulty is greatly increased in the dimly lit classroom, and the opponent is not human, so he doesn't know whether he will or not. What advantage will it have when the game is in progress.

"It depends on how you play~" The faceless girl replied with a smile, "Let's write it down separately. If you win three times, or I win three times, the game will be over."

"Accumulated?"

"...accumulated."

Jin was silent for a while, trying to think about whether there were any unclear points or flaws in the rules of the game of the faceless girl, but he was really not good at fine thinking in this area, and the confrontation for a while was his limit, so he nodded , indicating that the game can start.

"You start first~ I want to let people who play the game for the first time."

Jin's turn ended very quickly. Almost immediately after he shuffled the cards, the faceless girl pointed to one of the cards without any mistakes. After being turned over, it was the 3 of spades she had just designated.

"Remember once, I won~" The faceless girl was very happy, "Now it's my turn."

The faceless girl quickly took five cards from the deck and lined them up on the desk. Jin cautiously stretched out his hand towards the playing cards. Seeing that the other party didn't respond, he quickly picked one of the cards in the middle. The card is turned over - Ace of Hearts.

Jin stared at the card for two seconds, making sure he read it correctly: "It's the Ace of Hearts!"

The faceless girl took the cards back, mixed them with the five cards, and quickly shuffled the cards—really fast, and Jin felt a chill in his heart when he saw the actions of the opponent's hand.

Dazzling, that's not the flexibility that human hands can have. Even if the lights are bright now, he probably can't see anything clearly.

Soon, the five playing cards were face down again and lined up.

"Which one is it?" The girl tilted her head with a sweet voice.

"Hmm...let me think about it..." The cold sweat rolled down the amount of forehead, he stared at the patterns on the back of the playing cards, and even hoped that he could see through directly.

"There is a time limit~ I'll count to three, if you can't choose, I'll be the winner~" the faceless girl said happily, "Three, two..."

"This one!"

Jin had no choice but to point to the middle one of the five cards again, praying for his luck.

But obviously, his luck failed, and the face of the card that was turned over was a shining Queen of Clubs.

"The other cards... turn them over and let me see!"

The remaining four cards are turned over one by one, and Ace of Hearts is the rightmost one.

That's good news, proving that the Faceless Girl didn't make a move of the deck when she played the game, but it's also bad news, proving that Kim has all but lost hope of winning.

"Remember it again~ I won again!" The girl looked very happy, "You have to be careful~ If you do it again, the game will be over~"

Under the table, Kim's hands were clenched on his knees.

If he is unlucky, the next round of the game may be the last time he can survive.

——Absolutely not like this!

Gray doesn't know where he is yet, maybe there is danger, he must survive, get out of this classroom and find Gray!

If he died so inexplicably...

Jin's heart sank heavily.

——Grey will be very sad, maybe it's not obvious on the surface, but Gray will definitely be sad for him.

He said that he would find a way to escape from here with Gray, and he couldn't keep his word.

Jin bit his lower lip.

You have to find a way, you can use any method, at least you must win the next game!

——There are flaws that can be traced, flaws that can be traced... Think about it, think about it...

An idea flashed through his mind like lightning.

——Although it is very risky, maybe this is the only loophole that can be exploited!

Jin shook his hand vigorously, and then slowly released it. He told himself that he must remain calm, and think of Gray—the kind of calmness that is calm no matter what he faces.

The young man stretched out his hand to the pile of cards, and slowly drew out his own round of playing cards. He slowly lined up the cards on the table, pursed his lips tightly, and looked extremely tense, as if he wanted to Extend the last of your life by slowing down.

"Hee hee...so nervous~"

"..." Jin finally laid out the playing cards, and exhaled, "You choose."

The faceless girl reached out and flipped over a card, which was the 6 of spades.

Jin slowly gathered the cards again, then shuffled them at a faster speed, and finally arranged five poker cards slowly, and clenched his hands tightly: "...you choose, which one is it on the table?"

The finger of the faceless girl points to the far right.

Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He slowly picked up the card from the table.

- Box 9.

"This is impossible--!"

The girl's scream shook the classroom glass almost to the point of rattling.

"You never took that card out! I can see it clearly, it's in this position, why—"

"Remember once." Jin's voice was very calm, only he knew it, his voice trembled slightly, "I won, now it is two to one, I will beat you soon! The next round will be you, let's start."

"Hmph... You just beat me in one game! You guessed wrong in the next game, you just wait to be my ration."

The faceless girl's voice became completely gloomy, like a fig leaf that was covered on the surface was suddenly lifted—the terrifying ghost finally revealed its man-eating face.

"But if I guess right in the next game—" Jin raised his voice, and he forced himself to stare at the smooth and terrifying face to overwhelm him in momentum, "then the next game, I will win Even if I rely on guessing in the next round, I still have a one-fifth chance of winning, but as long as I win, you will never be able to guess my cards correctly again!"

The young man's blue eyes were frighteningly bright for an instant, like a docile-looking little beast finally showing its sharp teeth, no matter what, he was going to fight to the death.

Perhaps the chance of surviving is quite slim, but as long as there is still a chance - he will not give up!

The faceless girl silently took five cards and lined them up on the table. Jin clenched his hands tightly. He was so hard that his nails dug into the palm of his hand, causing pain.

Finally, Jin exhaled slowly, moving his hands back and forth, as if he was hesitating about which card to choose—in the end, he finally chose one, holding the corner of the playing card with two fingers, and carefully turned it over.

"King of Hearts."

Having torn away the camouflage of the game, the faceless girl turned the cards over without saying a word, and quickly shuffled the cards again.

The five playing cards were lined up again, and Jin looked at them one by one, barely distinguishing them under the moonlight.

After looking back and forth several times, he didn't speak, but directly chose a card, flipped it over, and slammed it on the table.

The King of Hearts K card is reflected in the moonlight.

Jin let out a long breath, and only then did he feel that he was in a cold sweat.

He won.

In the third round, he took out not five but six playing cards from the deck.

Kim held it carefully, deliberately slowing down until he was sure the behavior was allowed, or maybe the faceless girl didn't notice.

This may be the conditioning of the faceless girl - she is a ghost who cannot lie or cheat in the game.

But Kim can.

He hid the sixth playing card in his palm and held it tight. He always seemed nervous and kept his hands on his thighs, so when he did this this time, the faceless girl didn't get suspicious—she was too conceited, Thinking that she could definitely win made her let her guard down.

After the faceless girl turned over the 6 of spades, when shuffling the cards, Jin stacked the 9 of diamonds and the 6 of spades hidden in his palm as a poker card, and when the cards were shuffled and placed, put The 9 of diamonds is placed below, and the 6 of spades is stacked on top of the 9 of diamonds.

——"See which one is on the table."

"on the table"

Jin took advantage of the language loophole in the faceless girl's narration of the rules-the playing card to be pointed out was placed on the table, but the real 6 of spades was not on the table at all, it was on another playing card.

It turned out that his venture was successful.

In the fourth game, he clenched his hands tightly on his thighs, and cut through the wounds on his palms that had just solidified and not yet scabbed with his nails—that was when he was hiding from the little female ghost in the men's bathroom, he put his hands on the It was cut when it was on the washstand covered with shards of mirror.

The situation was urgent, and there was no time to deal with it. Now it was a blessing in disguise. He exerted great strength, and the wound on his palm was pulled into a large size. The blood on his palm was stained with his index finger. The place with the densest pattern is stained a little.

Maybe Jin's eyesight wasn't good enough to see through the faceless girl's shuffling of cards, but it wasn't hard to make out dark bloodstains in the faint moonlight.

Jin was gasping for breath, and his palms felt like fire. He looked at the faceless girl across the desk and took a deep breath: "As we agreed, give me back the eyeballs and let me leave safely from the classroom door." .”

——tbc——

*The prototype of the game comes from the novel of When Cicadas Cry, with some minor changes.

I watched it a long time ago... Now I don't have much impression of it, but I only remember the powerful technique of overlapping playing cards!
