Don't play games with sand sculptures

Chapter 22 [22] Stepping on the Shadow

[9:30.AM]

The classroom is very quiet, there is no teacher, and on the blackboard there is bold white font: self-study.

Since it is a single table, the players are separated by NPC students.

Bai Ti sat in the last row and stared at Ruan Mang in the first row, and unconsciously crushed the soy milk paper cup in her hand. The NPC students next to her were stunned, and the student called her softly.

"Classmates, don't eat in class!"

"Crack~"

The plastic lid of the soya milk cup flew off.

Bai Ti turned her head and gave the NPC student a friendly smile: "Thank you for reminding me, I'm done drinking."

NPC student: "..."

"Hey, have you all heard?"

Wu Yuan in the front seat suddenly turned around and chatted with the NPC students around: "The game didn't stop last night, does anyone know who the last 'ghost' is?"

Bai Ti's face was full of question marks, and she subconsciously told herself that Wu Yuan was talking about game clues.

"It seems to be a transfer student." Zhu Sheng sitting next to him also turned around and joined the discussion: "Did any of you see Ye Xin? You didn't see anyone when you were having breakfast."

"Ye Xin?" The female student hesitated, "Isn't she with you?"

Zhu Sheng shook her head: "No, I didn't sleep in a room last night."

Or thinking of something, the female student's face was a little ugly: "It's so difficult that she went out, she's lucky."

After hearing the key information, Bai Ti interjected and asked, "Are there any other places in the school?"

The female student shook her head, turned her head with gloomy eyes, and turned the pages of the book.

"Outside school."

Just when Bai Ti was thinking about where to go, Ruan Mang came over from the front row, dragged the chair in her hand and put it in the middle of the corridor, next to Wu Yuan's seat, and she said: "No one in our school can get out, only Keep participating in the game, and the lucky ones will be able to escape from here."

"Then what do you mean by the end of the game just now?" Bai Ti vaguely had an ominous premonition. Although it is a low-level area, it just has a low death rate, which does not mean that there will be no deaths.

Ruan Mang and Wu Yuan looked at each other and explained: "Every round of stepping on shadows starts, and when it's time to end, the last ghost player is responsible for stopping the game. If you don't stop the game, once it reaches zero..." She stopped here.

"What happens after midnight?" Bai Ti asked.

Ruan Mang looked past Bai Ti to look at the NCP students behind her, her eyes were very unfriendly, and she didn't speak until she stared at them away, "When it's zero o'clock, the real ghosts in the school will come out and participate in the game together."

I don't know when, several players all sat over, listening seriously, and a few NPCs also mixed in and sat together, it seemed that there was another premeditated plan.

"What a ghost?!" Shuiyao covered her mouth and inhaled softly.

"Let's go away, you are too close." Ruan Mang glanced at the shadow that was trampled on the ground, and kindly reminded: "The game of stepping on the shadow is not over yet, you should pay attention, ghosts will mix in the crowd, and you will become a ghost." After becoming a ghost, remember to call timeout."

She pulled Bai Ti up from the chair and walked outside the classroom.

The sun came out outside, and the sun shone on the two of them, but only one's shadow stretched out.

Bai Ti stared at Ruan Mang's feet, and asked softly, "Do you want to go out too?"

"Of course." Ruan Mang's eyes turned pure white in an instant, and soon returned to their original state, smiling lightly: "The creatures trapped in this school all want to escape."

Bai Ti nodded thoughtfully, stretched out her hand to hold Ruan Mang's hand, ignoring the other party's struggle, and said lightly: "If I give you my shadow, you can go out."

"..."

Ruan Mang looked at her with complicated eyes and remained silent for a while.

Bai Ti also waited, but did not continue.

After waiting for a long time, Ruan Mang laughed angrily: "Miss Bai, have you forgotten that you are still in the world of horror games? This is all about the plot of the game. If you have time to watch the plot, why not think about how to avoid being trampled by ghosts. "

Bai Ti looked into Ruan Mang's eyes and asked a familiar question: "Then are you a ghost?"

"Yes." Ruan Mang still replied without emotion, "When you fall asleep, I will steal your shadow."

"Okay~"

Unexpectedly, Bai Ti smiled and agreed: "I will wait for you to steal the shadow at night."

Ruan Mang didn't say a word, let go of Bai Ti's hand, and walked away on his own.

"Hey, wait for me!" Bai Ti hurriedly followed.

[19:00.PM]

A new round of "stepping on the shadow" game has begun.

From daytime to now, no one has revealed his identity as a "ghost", and the process of smoking a "ghost" has been omitted, and the last person who was a "ghost" last night continued.

Ruan Mang took Bai Ti to the dormitory.

After entering the room, Bai Ti subconsciously turned on the light, but was stopped by Ruan Mang.

"Watch out for traps."

"Oh."

Ruan Mang didn't say anything, rolled up his sleeves and started to lift the bed.

Bai Ti looked at Ruan Mang strangely, and didn't intend to help, but quietly walked behind Ruan Mang, using the light of the mobile phone screen to illuminate her, letting her shadow cover her feet.

She started the topic: "What did you bring me here for?"

"You'll know it when you see it."

Ruan Mang opened her bed, revealing the dead body under the bed, with the same face as hers, she turned her head and smiled at Bai Ti, "I'll give you another clue, players won't die immediately after their shadow is taken away, as long as they Recapturing anyone's shadow will bring them back to life and continue the game."

"Damn it..." Bai Ti was stunned.

Ruan Mang didn't pay attention to the situation on the ground, stepped back a few steps, sat on Bai Ti's bed, and said, "I don't know who is the ghost now, it's safest for you to stay in the dormitory, there are two more days, and no one knows what will happen in the end." Who is the ghost, will it quietly steal the shadows of other players... What happened to your face?"

She felt something was wrong, and Bai Ti's face became a little pale.

Bai Ti blinked, and her eyes returned to normal from pure white.

"You?" Ruan Mang was also stunned, and blurted out: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with your brain, I know a brain doctor, do you want to see your brain?!"

"Going with you?"

"..."

Ruan Mang's eyes turned cold, and he got up to look for Bai Ti.

Bai Ti reacted immediately, turned around and ran outside, shouting: "When I registered my ID, I chose infinite death. If I die in the game, it won't affect the real world. Why are you panicking!!"

"I'm panicking, do I need you to get a bug!!" Ruan Mang sneered, took off his shoe and threw it at Bai Ti, and suddenly called softly: "My dear~"

"what???"

Bai Ti turned her head in surprise, just in time to be hit on the head by a flying shoe, and fell to the ground.Ruan Mang walked over unhurriedly, and after putting on his shoes, he dragged Bai Ti's feet downstairs.

*Ding~ The player "Bai Mang Mang" died, the cause of death: the death of the handover ghost*

*Dead players will return to the real world after 1 minute*

Bai Ti woke up on the bed again.

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, she turned over, met a cold and familiar gaze, got up after a while, lifted the quilt and ran to the bedroom door.

It's just a little strange that the door can't be opened.

Bai Ti broke out in cold sweat, and said to herself: God bless, I will burn the best incense for you when I go back! !

Ruan Mang looked over indifferently, and reminded: "That's the toilet."

"It's a coincidence." Bai Ti turned around with a smile, with a flattering expression on her face: "After I came out of the game, I just wanted to take a shower and then sleep."

Ruan Mang patted the empty space beside him, and smiled lightly: "Sleep here."

Seeing her smile, Bai Ti couldn't laugh anymore, she wiped off her cold sweat: "Is there still time for me to run?"

"That's too late."

Ruan Mang got off the bed, pulled Bai Ti to the bedside, and pushed Bai Ti down under the terrified eyes of the other party.

Sometimes it's nice to have a cat.

Ruan Mang stroked Bai Ti's soft hair and turned the phone to silent.

[06:00.AM]

When Bai Ti woke up, she was on Ruan Mang's bed.

She subconsciously opened the collar and looked in. There was no trace, and she was slightly relieved, but soon she felt disappointed again, and her heart felt empty, as if something was missing.

Ruan Mang sat at the end of the bed, staring at her without saying a word.

Sensing the gaze, Bai Ti touched the back of her neck which was chilling, and smiled: "Don't look at me like that, I'm scared."

"I wasn't afraid when I was looking for death last night." Ruan Mang grabbed the pillow at hand and threw it towards Bai Ti, sneering: "I didn't touch you, you seem very happy?"

Bai Ti avoided the pillow and pretended not to hear: "I'm hungry, do you have food at home?"

When it came to breakfast, Ruan Mang stroked his hair and said with a gentle smile, "No, starve to death."

Bai Ti covered her chest with her hands, and lay down pompously: "You are a cruel woman."

Ruan Mang was not in the mood to act with her, so he got out of bed and went out.

"Hey, wait for me!" Bai Ti hurriedly put on her clothes and followed.

……

I bought breakfast outside.

Ruan Mang and Bai Ti were sitting in the living room, each with a big meat bun, playing checkers while eating, the winner chose the location of today's event, and the loser paid.

Two wins out of three.

Three wins out of five.

Four out of seven games.

Five out of nine games.

Bai Ti lost nine rounds in a row, so she just lied down and lay down on the ground: "I'm tired, and I don't want to go anywhere."

Ruan Mang: "..."

She had never seen such a shameless person.

Looking at the glowing steamed stuffed bun in his hand, Ruan Mang walked up to Bai Ti and squatted down, put his hand next to Bai Ti's face, and threatened: "Believe it or not, with my slap, you won't have to wash your face for a few days."

"I'm going!" Bai Ti sat up, grabbed Ruan Mang's wrist, and shouted, "I'm going to change clothes right now, I can go anywhere as you like!"

Ruan Mang looked at the bedroom door and took a bite of the bun.

After changing her clothes, Bai Ti came out and asked, "Where are we going? The park or the playground?"

Ruan Mang watched her quietly, and said after a while, "Go to the mall."

Bai Ti: "...Oh."

Ruan Mang took the keys and went out. She looked at Bai Ti with "I don't want to" written all over her face with some amusement, and said, "Just tell me if you're not satisfied. I won't hit you."

"You didn't hit me." Bai Ti rubbed the back of her head, ruthlessly exposed: "But you will press me on the ground and rub it."

Ruan Mang: "..."

Ruan Mang smiled, and his eyes became more kind: "Then I will rub you on the bed, are you going to say that I forced you to do something you don't like?"

Bai Ti didn't answer, her face gradually turned red.

Ruan Mang looked at her slightly red face, lost in thought.

There seems to be something wrong with this person.
