——“I found someone.”
"Where?"
"You don't ask who it is?"
"He must be nervous!"
“It’s really tense.”
"Where?"
"I have no idea."
Astro Boy was looking at the computer screen, where his friends in the QQ group were chatting.
The name of the QQ group is “Hide and Seek Group”.
The news was constantly jumping and they were chatting enthusiastically.
There are only four people in the entire group.
They are: Astro Boy, Yan Jiu, Doraemon, and Optimus Prime. The leader of the group is Astro Boy.
Unlike other QQ friends, Astro Boy and the other three often meet in real life because they all live and work in the same city.
The reason they set up such a small chat group was because they had a common interest.
Just play games.
The pace of modern society is too fast, and all young people have very limited entertainment options. Apart from work, there are almost no other entertainment options except surfing the Internet, playing mahjong, and singing karaoke.
But the four of them were different, they liked to play real-life games, and they liked to play games that were a little provocative and fun. So in the end, the four of them formed a group and decided that every week , a friend would come up with a new game idea, and then everyone would play it in real life.
This group has been established for half a year, and they have played more than a dozen games. Some weeks, the group was postponed because members had something else to do.
Astro Boy still remembers that the first game was very simple, which was to go bungee jumping. Because it was the first time for everyone to meet, they didn't know each other very well, so they used this very common way to get to know each other.
As a result, Optimus Prime was unwilling to jump. He was a small businessman in his thirties. He said that he had just been diagnosed with three highs due to long-term social engagements.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the first game, Astro Boy kicked Optimus Prime down, and was then taken to the duty room by the scenic area's management staff for a two-hour education.
Although the first game had some setbacks, it was completed as usual. The second time, everyone can have more fun.
The second game was proposed by Doraemon, a girl in her early twenties who worked as a nurse in the Central Hospital.
Doraemon's initiative was actually not surprising. She had just watched an old Hong Kong horror film "The Twilight Saga", so she suggested that everyone go to Jinyingang to copy tombstones just like in the movie.
This time Yan Jiu was a little hesitant. He said that he was not afraid of graves or dead people, but he was afraid of owls. There were many owls in Jinyingang, and they would come out and scream at night.
Yan Jiu's protest was ineffective.
The four of us gathered in the evening, first eating supper and drinking at the night market stall in Wujiagang. Optimus Prime didn't drink, as he had three highs. At twelve o'clock in the evening, Optimus Prime drove the other three to Jinyingang, where they parked the car on the side of the road, and then climbed over the wall of the cemetery. In fact, the wall was very low, because who would climb over the cemetery for no reason? The cemetery didn't charge admission.
Jinyingang is located more than 30 miles away from the city center at No. 14 Yinyang Road . It covers several hilltops and an area of several square miles. If it is not a cemetery, it is likely to exist as a forest park.
The four of us agreed to meet by the car in an hour. Then we took out our phones to see who could take the most pictures of the tombstones. Nokia phones already had high-pixel shooting capabilities and memory cards.
In the whole game, no other devices can be brought except mobile phones. Then the four people dispersed in the cemetery and used their mobile phones to illuminate the road, but Astro Boy's mobile phone was a Motorola V3.
There was nothing much to say about the whole game. No supernatural events happened. After an hour, everyone returned to their original places. Everyone took a lot of photos, but Yan Jiu took the most. Doraemon, the proposer, took the least.
The next day after dawn, they returned to the cemetery to verify the tombstones they had photographed last night, which was also part of the game. As a result, a staff member of their cemetery was chatting and said that a new employee who had just arrived saw the cemetery was haunted while working the night shift last night, and there were ghost lights flickering in the graves. Now the new employee would never do it again, and resigned decisively, giving up the civil servant establishment of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
After hearing this, the four of them laughed for a long time. So the content of their future games was almost determined, which was to play whatever was scary.
They put on clothes from the 1980s, took the last bus at 12:30 a.m., boarded the No. 2 bus from its starting point, and sat side by side in the last row, all stiff, motionless, and silent. They frightened the passengers on the bus and finally the driver as well.
They also repeated the strange rumor about the ghost taxi. They asked Yan Jiu to take a taxi to the funeral home at night and then gave the driver extra money. But this time they failed. The driver was not only bold but also had a sharp eye. He saw Yan Jiu throwing ghost money on the seat behind him at a glance. As a result, he almost fought with Yan Jiu.
They are just some harmless little games.
But now, what Astro Boy saw in the QQ group chat was more interesting to him than any game in the past. Optimus Prime was suggesting playing a game that allowed them to enter another dimension.
This game has been circulating on the Internet for a long time. Astro Boy himself has seen it before, but there is almost no news about this game. Not many people know about it.
This game was initiated by Yan Jiu, and he had already written the rules of the game on the chat board:
First, find a building with more than 20 floors, preferably located in a development zone, because the development zone is basically suburban and has a small population. At 2:30 in the morning, enter the building on time, then climb to the seventh floor from the fire escape staircase, press the elevator to the thirteenth floor, and then walk out. Wait for the elevator to return to the first floor. Then press the elevator button again, wait for the elevator to come up, enter the elevator, press the button to the ninth floor. Get out of the elevator again, walk to the tenth floor via the fire escape staircase, and then enter the elevator to reach the underground parking lot on the first floor.
Then walk from the underground parking lot to the second floor, and take the elevator directly from the second floor to the top floor. When everyone reaches the top floor, they will arrive in a completely unknown world.
Astro Boy immediately typed and asked:
How do you know that you have arrived in an unknown world?
