Chapter 372: Game Over
Zhou Fan, who was hiding, also secretly prayed that Qiao Yu and Yan Shuhang could compete for more energy, and if they hid longer, the longer they hid, the less chance they would be found.
The Hidden Forest seemed to stand still, so hot that there was not even a hint of wind.
The sunlight that came in, the dappled shadows of the sun, could not give the forest a trace of life, everything was lifeless.
Zhou Fan just stared into the distance, and the pine trees in the distance looked like ghosts, and they seemed to be looking at him as well.
The Hidden Forest gave him a sense of chill at every moment, as if the forest would come to life at any moment.
Time is constantly passing, and Zhou Fan is silently calculating the time.
Soon, half a pillar of incense time passed in a flash.
Zhou Fan's face showed joy, he survived the time of half a pillar of incense, and Yang Xinmeng did not find him.
Of course, this does not mean that he is the last, it is likely that Qiao Yu or Yan Shuhang survived, or both survived.
Now he just had to stand up and go back to the scorched tree to know the result.
However, in order to avoid making a mistake in his calculation of the time, he waited patiently for a short time before standing up and walking towards the scorched wood.
After only walking for more than ten zhang, Zhou Fan stopped again, and the excitement in his heart gradually faded, because he didn't feel the call of Jiao Mu to him last time.
What is the problem?
Could it be that because the game is over, Scorched Wood no longer summons him?
He remembered almost everything about the Hidden Forest, and when there was only one person left, Scorched Wood should also summon him, and he returned to Scorched Wood to find the exit of the Hidden Forest.
That's what his family told him.
So what's going on?
But whatever happens, he must return to the scorched wood in the clearing to take a look, or he will most likely die.
But this somewhat strange situation made Zhou Fan more vigilant in his heart, and when he walked step by step, he deliberately chose some routes that were easy to hide his body to move forward.
The road was less than a hundred zhang, Zhou Fan walked quickly, he looked at the open space that was hidden by the pine forest, bent down, and slowly moved forward.
The clearing became clearer and clearer in his eyes.
Then he saw Yang Xinmeng, who was standing in front of Jiao Mu with his feet dangling.
Zhou Fan showed a look of surprise on his face, why?
Isn't the time of half a pillar of incense already elapsed? Why is Yang Xinmeng still alive?
What is she doing in front of Scorched Wood again?
Zhou Fan felt that his head was a little painful, there would be no mistake, no matter how many times he played hide and seek, it was half a pillar of incense time.
Suddenly, Yang Xinmeng, who had been facing away from him, turned around, her eyes were closed, her quiet face had been distorted, and her nose fluttered and laughed: "You're back." ”
Zhou Fan was lying in the weeds, he didn't dare to move again, let alone look at Yang Xinmeng again.
He was a little puzzled as to why things had changed in this way.
"Qiao Yu and Yan Shuhang both let me find that I was eaten by a ghost, and now there are only two of us left, I can't find you, but I know that you will come back here. ”
"Come on...... Let's play hide and seek. ”
"Hurry up, I'll find you soon. ”
Yang Xinmeng's voice spread out in the forest, echoing in bursts.
Zhou Fan still didn't move, he knew that if he moved, he was afraid that Yang Xinmeng's ears would hear it.
He was thinking wildly in his heart, why did time pass, and Yang Xinmeng hadn't died yet?
Yang Xinmeng quickly floated around in the clearing, she was searching for Zhou Fan's figure, she laughed sharply as she floated: "You are nearby, I smell your breath, even if you don't make any movement, I can find you." ”
"Run, let me find you, you can't escape even if you want to. ”
Zhou Fan showed a trace of fear on his face, he knew that what Yang Xinmeng said made sense, even if he didn't move, but Yang Xinmeng would find him sooner or later.
He fell into a dead end, and his heart seemed to be weighed down by a thousand pounds of stone, so that he was so nervous that he didn't even dare to vomit.
He can only bet, bet that he won't make any sound, even if Yang Xinmeng is close at hand, he can't know that he is here.
He was like a stiff and cold stone, waiting for his fate, and this waiting for no reason made his heart rise with anger, and he felt that he had forgotten something very important.
It's just that he hasn't remembered that Yang Xinmeng is already hanging in front of him.
Zhou Fan just looked at her feet wearing animal skin boots, and didn't mean to look up.
"Found you. Yang Xinmeng's voice carried a hint of emotion, "The game is finally over." ”
Zhou Fan sat up at this time, he looked at Yang Xinmeng with his eyes closed, and for some reason the fear in his heart decreased slightly.
Yang Xinmeng opened her eyes, her eyes were normal pupil color, and she didn't cast anything on Zhou Fan, the shadow under her feet was slowly trembling, and it seemed that she would pounce at any time.
"Aren't you afraid?" Yang Xinmeng's face was still distorted, her cheeks were beating from time to time, pale and bloodless, but she still smiled, "I went to the original place to look for you, but you weren't there, otherwise it would have been over a long time ago." ”
"What I want to know more is why? Time has already passed, why didn't you die?" Zhou Fan asked slowly.
Yang Xinmeng's mouth let out a weird shrill laugh that was not like hers, like a monster laughing wildly: "Because the game is like this, and I didn't break the rules, if ten people come in, one person can get out alive, but you are nine people who come in." ”
"Nine people?" Zhou Fan looked at Yang Xinmeng with a stunned face, he faintly understood, but he couldn't believe it.
"This girl ......," Yang Xinmeng pointed to herself, "Before she came in, she was sacrificed to me a day in advance, and your village doesn't want anyone to go back alive." ”
"Why do you want to do this?" Zhou Fan muttered to himself.
"I don't know. Yang Xinmeng's body began to tear into two sides, her body had a black nematode probe coming out and hissing, her little head bulged up, and her bones were bent one by one, stabbing out from her body.
She couldn't see the human form at all, and the shadows under her feet were still stretching.
"The rules of hide and seek were set by my mother, and that was my mother. Yang Xinmeng pointed at Jiao Mu with her finger, "She likes to watch people play hide and seek, and Heng suffers from your fear." ”
"Thirty years ago, your village used the method of sacrificing one person in advance so that the other nine could not return alive, which did not break the rules set by my mother, so we ignored it. ”
Zhou Fan suddenly understood, why the faces of those villagers at the entrance of the forest were so strange, it was because they knew that Yang Xinmeng was no longer human, but he still had to stand behind the ghost.
"Maybe it's hateful. Zhou Fan sighed, "Only one of the ten people can go back alive, and the person who returns to the village, if he doesn't die, he will eventually resent the village for pushing him into the forest, and it's better to die all of them than this." ”
"Why haven't you eaten me yet, but told me so much?" Zhou Fan looked up at Yang Xinmeng, who had become extremely terrifying, and there was no fear in his eyes.
"You're the last one and it's fun, so I wanted to talk to you. Yang Xinmeng, or the ghost in the forest, laughed, but its head cracked one after another, and the white brain mixed with red blood burst out of the mouth, and the smile looked disgusting.
"Why aren't you scared?" Yang Xinmeng felt the calm in Zhou Fan's eyes, and he asked in surprise.
"I'm not me, why should I be afraid?" Zhou Fan whispered to himself.
