Welcome to the World of the Strong [Unlimited Flow] 108

Chapter 108: The Game

In the afternoon, they set off again, heading to the next stop.

Fortunately, this trip was quite humane. Although it was a supernatural-type instance, but in a situation where the item space was limited, it helped to solve their food and drink problems, allowing them to concentrate on clearing the instance.

When Jiang Yu got on the bus, she glanced at the driver, but she didn’t see much. She just caught a glimpse of something, which was the screen that was usually on a bus, used to observe the situation at the back door.

Although the screen at the driver’s place was now gray, it indirectly confirmed Jiang Yu’s guess.

The number of people on the bus was already different from before, and similarly, the atmosphere was also very different.

Only the tour guide was still smiling, her eyes curving, as if nothing had happened.

They arrived at a hotel before dark.

The tour guide let the people on the bus get off.

“We’ll be sleeping at the hotel tonight.”

Then, the crowd didn’t have any happy emotions. On the contrary, there was a kind of… “it’s finally here” helplessness.

It was easy to imagine that tonight would definitely not be a peaceful sleep, and there would even be dangerous things happening.

Jiang Yu sized up this hotel. It looked quite standard, and it wasn’t very old. There wasn’t too much yin energy, and it looked very normal. But if this was the place where they were staying tonight, then something would definitely happen.

For example, the hotel was built on a cemetery, and so on.

Shi Jun came to Jiang Yu’s side and said with a light smile, “Are you scared?”

Jiang Yu nodded slightly, not denying it. “A little.”

But no matter how scared she was, she couldn’t back down.

The smile on Shi Jun’s lips deepened.

Although she really wanted to let Jiang Yu rely on her, she also knew that Jiang Yu wouldn’t do so. So, Shi Jun had no choice but to give up this idea with regret.

Someone asked, “Do we just need to sleep here tonight?”

The tour guide: “Not really. We still have a mission to do.”

As expected.

This thought came to everyone’s mind.

They knew it wouldn’t be easy.

“What’s the mission?”

The tour guide said with a smile, “Tonight, there’s a small mission for everyone. I guarantee that it’s just a small mission. Or rather, it’s a small game that everyone needs to do.”

Jiang Yu became vigilant.

As everyone knew, some of the small games in the supernatural world were not something that living people would play.

As expected, the tour guide continued, “Please form groups of four freely. At twelve o’clock at night, in the room we’ve chosen, we’ll play a game of touching the corners of the wall for thirty minutes.”

Jiang Yu’s brow twitched slightly.

Although she wasn’t very interested in these horror games, she wasn’t completely ignorant either.

The so-called game of touching the corners of the wall, also called touching the four corners, was when four people were in a dark and empty room, and each person stood facing a corner.

Choose a player A to start walking clockwise or counterclockwise, come to the back of the next person B, pat their shoulder, and say “I’ve patted you.”

Then B would do the same to find C.

When C found D, there would be a total of three people saying “I’ve patted you,” and D would go to the place where A had been standing before, but at this moment, because of A’s action, the corner was already empty. At this time, D could only touch the empty corner, so he had to say “I’ve touched it.”

Without three “I’ve patted you,” there would definitely be one “I’ve touched it.”

But as the game continued, this game would attract unknown things to join in and play together. It would follow the rhythm of the crowd, walk together, pat together, and talk together.

But no one could tell where it was, when it came, and who it was.

Gradually, there would be no more “I’ve touched it,” only four “I’ve patted you.”

A person, or rather, a ghost, had joined the game of four.

Even if there were people in the room who didn’t understand this game, they were quickly educated and understood the danger of this game.

Someone asked, “Then… after half an hour, how do we end this game?”

The tour guide smiled. “Of course, you can end it however you want.”

But no one knew if, when they came out, besides the original four people, there would be other things mixed in.

Jiang Yu let out a light breath. Although she was a little vigilant and wary, for some reason, she was still a little relaxed.

After all, if she really didn’t play any tricks, she would be even more worried.

Jiang Yu and Shi Jun would not be separated. They just needed to find another group of two.

Thus, Jiang Yu was much more relaxed.

“Then after the game is over, do we continue to go back?”

The tour guide: “Of course, continue to go back to sleep. I’ll wake everyone up the next day.”

Jiang Yu pursed her lips.

Of course, she could sleep normally after she went back, but it was hard to say if something would come looking for her at night.

After arranging the mission, the tour guide let the players start to form teams.

Jiang Yu looked at Zhong Yu. “Do you have any players you want to choose?”

This game, to some extent, had both the standard of a strong alliance and the opposite.

If it was the former, then first of all, it could promote the completion of the game. Secondly, you could consider eliminating that ghost during the game.

The latter could also be understood. If there were weaker people, then you could also use some means to let the ghost follow the weak people out, so as to ensure your own safety.

Jiang Yu was just a little confused now. What was the situation with the ghost? Would it be the same as the situation in the abandoned building before?

Shi Jun was indifferent. “Anyone is fine. You can decide.”

Before Jiang Yu could decide, someone had already found them.

It was also a group of two girls. The other party looked a little cautious and shy, but she still said, “Are you also not in a team? If you don’t mind, why don’t we team up together?”

Jiang Yu didn’t answer directly. She just glanced at the two of them, and then asked, “I wonder how your courage is?”

“Of course, I don’t have any intention of probing or anything else. It’s just that one day, if your courage is too small and the game can’t be completed smoothly…”

Jiang Yu stopped there.

The tour guide had said that the game had to last for more than thirty minutes, which meant that the fifth person was very likely to appear early.

If someone ended the game early because they were too scared, then it would be very unfavorable for them to complete the mission.

No one knew what the consequences would be if they failed once.

Understanding the meaning in Jiang Yu’s words, the other party quickly said, “Don’t worry. We have a lot of integrity. No matter what, we have to complete the mission first.”

Jiang Yu looked at them, a little helpless.

Because this matter could not be completely clear just by looking.

However, she didn’t trust the other party, and the other party should also be worried about them.

After some thought, Jiang Yu agreed.

The two girls didn’t directly report their names. They just let Jiang Yu call them Pearl and Milk Tea.

Jiang Yu nodded slightly. “You can also call me… Jiang Jiang.”

She pointed at Zhong Yu. “Call her… Yuyu.”

Now, using Qiao Zhishan’s nickname, Jiang Yu was already very skilled.

Shi Jun raised an eyebrow slightly, just smiling, and didn’t express any opinion on this nickname.

Pearl and Milk Tea nodded. After the two sides had formed a team, they waited to follow the tour guide into the hotel.

Soon, the others had also formed teams.

Jiang Yu looked at it and found that there were no extra or fewer people.

Her eyebrows twitched. She didn’t know if it was a coincidence… or for some other reason.

The tour guide was very satisfied with the current situation. “Very good. It seems that everyone has successfully formed a team. Then let’s go in.”

Jiang Yu followed the tour guide in.

She watched the tour guide book a room at the front desk, and then handed the keys to everyone.

Because this place looked like the facilities were backward and it was a hotel, so there was no such thing as a room card. They all used keys to open the door.

Jiang Yu frowned slightly and discussed with Zhong Yu in a low voice, “One group only has two rooms?”

Shi Jun nodded. “It should be a standard room.”

Jiang Yu: “…That’s not what I’m asking.”

Of course, Shi Jun knew what the other party was concerned about. She just smiled faintly. “Relax. Don’t worry.”

Jiang Yu let out a breath.

Because of Zhong Yu’s words, she was indeed not so scared, but her heart was always a little worried.

A group was mostly composed of people from two teams, so it was reasonable to give two rooms.

But there was a problem.

The tour guide didn’t seem to have told them which specific room they needed to go to to play the four-corner game, which meant that they needed to choose the room themselves.

And the rooms they had… were nothing more than the residences of their partners.

Although in which room they played the four-corner game, it didn’t mean that the ghost would definitely stay in this room, but this was still quite concerning.

And there would definitely be some entanglements between the two groups of team members, and Jiang Yu hated these.

But now was not the time to consider these things.

They received their respective keys.

Because it was not yet eight o’clock, and there were still more than four hours before the game started, so during this period, they could prepare, discuss, and rest.

Jiang Yu asked in a low voice, “Which room do you want to choose?”

The two girls looked at each other, and finally said, “How about this? Let’s play rock-paper-scissors. The winner will choose.”

This was the fairest way, at least for now.

A smile was on Shi Jun’s lips. She walked to Jiang Yu’s side. “Then I’ll do it.”

Milk Tea and Pearl looked at each other, and finally Pearl walked forward. “I’ll do it.”

The two of them turned their backs to each other, and Jiang Yu and the other girl counted down at the same time.

The two of them raised their hands.

Rock, scissors.

It was Zhong Yu who had won.

Jiang Yu was slightly stunned, but she didn’t think much. She just felt that this was Zhong Yu’s good luck.

She smiled, her lips curving, feeling that this should be a good omen. “Good luck.”

Shi Jun’s eyes curved in a smile, and she didn’t say much.

On the contrary, Pearl was surprised, and her face was a little pale. “How could this be…”

But soon, the other party stopped talking.

Jiang Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, not ignoring her words.

Shi Jun said in Jiang Yu’s ear in a small voice, “I guess her talent bloodline should be related to luck, or prediction.”
