Chapter 5
The junior high school student disappeared suddenly, but no one believed that he was still alive.
The pool of blood on the chair shattered the last fantasy of several people. This game is not a game that can be passed by simply completing the tasks.
The junior high school student completed the puzzle meticulously according to the requirements on the app. However, when he finished the puzzle, he was skinned alive by the evil ghost in the puzzle.
Chu Fu put down her hand covering her lips, tears in her eyes. She trembled and looked at the puzzle of the junior high school student, only to see that the ghost on the puzzle disappeared.
The ghost on the puzzle is gone, so where did the ghost on it go?
Chu Fu plucked up the courage to look up at the lamp. There were a few thin bloodstains on the chandelier, but there was no ghost on it.
Chu Fu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but almost choked by tears.
However, before she could think about what to do next, the man who had been quiet for a while suddenly got angry.
"Hey, you two, I heard you two were talking nonsense before, is there something you didn't tell me?"
The man looked at the chocolates on Chu Fu's table and the pile of women's clothes in Bai Yan's arms, and said angrily: "You can't survive in this game if you follow it. There is something wrong with this game, there is really something wrong! I'm saying this today, if you don't tell me, I won't survive, and none of you can escape!"
"..."If you have the guts, stand up and try it!
Bai Yan really wanted to say this.
According to the second rule of the game, 'the puzzle must be operated in front of the square table, and you must not leave the square table during the puzzle completion period'. He really wanted to see what would happen if the man left the square table.
However, if the punishment is delayed, the man tore up all their puzzles with the idea of turning the table over, which would be quite troublesome.
What's more, he specially hid a piece of puzzle for the man. If the man died before the moment of the surprise was revealed, wouldn't it be a pity not to enjoy the ups and downs of life?
Thinking of this, Bai Yan decided to be patient for the time being and get over it first.
So, he raised his head slightly and said with an unchanging expression: "I have given you the puzzle, what else do you want?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to regret provoking the man, and slowed down his tone to add: "It's okay to tell you, although you treat junior high school students like that... but we were chosen to play together, so we should help each other. I still have a large piece of puzzle to complete, so let's make a long story short-I found that all the women's clothes in the closet were wet, and someone must have worn them. I thought this might be useful. At worst, it can be used as a shield to block ghosts, so I brought them here."
After Bai Yan finished speaking, Chu Fu was afraid that the man would find fault with her, so she quickly replied: "I was nervous and wanted to eat something, so I didn't I took some food from the food table and ate it. "
"Do you think I will believe it?" The man said doubtfully: "Tell the truth, don't think I don't hit women!"
"If you don't believe me, ask him. He just talked to me and advised me not to eat the food here."
Chu Fu thought of the clues about the 'starving ghost' that Bai Yan told her. She felt very nervous, but she had a bad impression of the man. She didn't betray Bai Yan in the end, but said firmly: "And look at this piece of chocolate. I tore it open and ate half of it before. If he hadn't persuaded me, I would have eaten it all."
The man was skeptical about Chu Fu's statement. He really couldn't believe that this woman was so bold that she dared to eat things of unknown origin and was not afraid of being poisoned.
However, after so many years in society, he knew that there were always some people whose brains were not working well. Maybe the woman in front of him was the one with a particularly bad brain.
So, he reluctantly accepted Chu Fu's explanation and said impatiently: "I know, you two give me two clothes and two chocolates, hurry up! I don't have time to delay with you!"
"You have already taken the puzzle of that guy, why are you asking us for things?" Chu Fu muttered, her face full of reluctance, but under the pressure of the man, she still handed over the food reluctantly.
Following Chu Fu, Bai Yan also pulled two pieces of clothes that exuded a foul smell and gave them to the man.
Fearing that the man would think he was targeting him, he added: "All clothes have this smell, after all, they have been worn by female ghosts, just make do with it, and bear it for now."
After getting the chocolate and clothes, the panic in the man's heart was reduced a little.
He was not the little bastard who was killed by the ghost, and there was no ghost on his puzzle. Moreover, the other two had already shared the things with him, and he would never die anyway.
...
The room returned to silence, and Bai Yan began to concentrate on dealing with his puzzle.
Because the lights went out and the man was entangled, he still had a large piece of the puzzle left, and time was very tight.
While Bai Yan was busy with the puzzle, Chu Fu was also very anxious to put it together. However, the experience of the junior high school student left her with a psychological shadow. She couldn't help but look back after putting two pieces together, for fear that there was also a ghost quietly standing behind her, waiting for her to finish the puzzle and take her away.
The ghost on Chu Fu's puzzle was a middle-aged man with a pale face and thin body. He stood in front of the food table and occupied a small area on the puzzle.
Because of her natural fear of ghosts, when she first put the puzzle together, Chu Fu avoided the part with human limbs and focused on the background.
However, the background will always be finished. After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and put down a few pieces of the puzzle to form a ghost's arm. Then, she couldn't help but look back again, and she saw a horrifying scene——
In front of the food table, a sallow arm appeared out of thin air. This arm waved in the air, making a grasping gesture, as if it wanted to take something.
It turns out that putting jigsaw puzzles together can really spell out ghosts!
Seeing this scene, Chu Fu completely understood.
That unlucky junior high school student was probably too focused on his work and didn't see the ghost on the chandelier, so he was captured by the ghost.
Thinking of the ghost, she quietly watched the junior high school student put together a puzzle and slowly moved closer behind him. Chu Fu couldn't help but feel a chill in her back.
The junior high school student has left, but what about her?
Will she be like a junior high school student, who will be captured by the ghost in the puzzle once she completes the puzzle?
Completing the puzzle will release the ghost, so should she continue to solve the puzzle?
A series of questions came one after another, which made Chu Fu hate that she was not smart enough to think of a good solution.
However, if you do nothing and just put your head down to puzzle, you will definitely die. This junior high school student has proven this with his life. So, what should she do? Is it okay to just give up on completing the puzzle?
Thinking of the frightening screams of the middle school student, Chu Fu shivered with fear. She even wanted to ignore it and simply throw down the puzzle and give up the game.
But can you survive by giving up the game?
Chu Fu remembered the painful experience of being tortured by a fierce ghost before entering the game, and knew that the app would never let her go. If you do not complete the game, you will be punished by the app. You will be tortured by evil spirits forever and ever, and you will not be able to escape even if you die.
So what should she do, how can she survive...
Chu Fu began to think desperately about everything about the game. The little brother sitting on her left told her that the one on her puzzle was a starving ghost. Seeing the middle-aged man's sallow and thin arms, she felt that this must be true.
Since it is a starving ghost, can she survive by feeding it the food on her table?
Chu Fu forced herself not to look back. She endured her fear and puzzled over the puzzle, trying to find a way out.
She tilted her head and looked at Bai Yan, and found that this little brother also had an empty piece in the puzzle like her, and she didn't know what he was planning.
Thinking about the young man's willingness to help others and the fact that he even found clues about the starving ghost, Chu Fu felt from the bottom of her heart that this young man was very reliable.
So Chu Fu planned to voice her doubts and ask her brother to help her analyze them and discuss what to do next.
"Handsome guy, I think we both have the last piece of the puzzle left. Should we put this last piece together?" she asked quietly.
"Pin, the game requires you to complete the puzzle within thirty minutes. We can just wait for the last few seconds to put it in. There is a countdown on your phone, so be careful not to miss the time." Bai Yan said.
"I think so too." Chu Fu agreed: "As long as you finish playing within the stipulated time, the game is completed. Even if it's only a few minutes, it's always good to live a little longer."
Speaking of this, she said with some worry: "You told me before that the figure on my puzzle was a starving ghost. Should I feed it something so that it wouldn't eat me?"
"I don't know, these are just my speculations." Bai Yan said with a bitter smile: "If my guess is wrong, then just run after you complete the puzzle. After five minutes, you can go back by clicking the return button on your phone. "
Bai Yan's reaction made Chu Fu start to feel worried again.
Even the reliable guy is not sure. It seems everything depends on fate.
Just when Chu Fu's heart was beating a hundred and two times and she was staring at her phone counting the seconds, the man started to raise his voice again and started shouting loudly.
"Hey, what are you two chattering about again?"
The man's face was full of anxiety: "I just have something to ask you. Your puzzle is the same as mine. Is there a missing piece?"
"No, he and I have all the pieces of the puzzle."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Fu felt something was wrong: "No, we are all whole, how come you are missing a piece?"
After listening to Chu Fu's words, the man reacted. He immediately glared at Bai Yan and said angrily: "It's you, you did something to my puzzle, didn't you!?"
Ah, it was discovered.
I just discovered it a bit late.
Bai Yan found the man's anxious expression interesting. The man's face was undoubtedly full of anger, but his trembling fists betrayed his fear.
Seeing that there were still five minutes left in the game, Bai Yan thought to himself that it was not the time yet. He tried hard to restrain the excitement surging in his heart, so as not to let himself smile maliciously.
