When Lin Sanjiu heard the word "hide and seek", she shuddered. She hated the scene that surfaced in her mind. She held her breath and hid in a place she thought was safe, but a large, snow-white finger was gently resting on her shoulder.
Why did it have to be such a hateful content?
She had not entered the courtyard … Could it be that she had activated the pocket dimension by touching the river in front of the "Fun Mode"?
Lin Sanjiu quickly glanced at the river below the bridge.
In the blink of an eye, when she turned her eyes back, the tip of her nose was touching the nose of the child statue.
She stared at the nose that was as big as her palm. After half a second, she felt cold sweat trickling down her back.
The statue was so big, but there was no wind when it moved … Lin Sanjiu rolled her eyes, and the child statue had crossed the courtyard and landed on the stone bridge.
As it smiled, its plaster cheeks gradually bulged. It was getting taller and taller, and it was almost touching Lin Sanjiu's shoulders.
"You seem to be very worried." The child statue laughed a few times in a high-pitched voice and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid … This game is not scary at all. We should be the ones who should be worried."
Lin Sanjiu didn't even want to open her mouth when the statue was so close to her.
She squeezed out a few words through her teeth, "Can you move back a little?"
The child statue was not angry.
Before its eyes and brain could react, it returned to its original position and straightened its back. Lin Sanjiu didn't even realize when it "straightened its back".
The child statue maintained its smile and slowly moved back a few meters. There was no movement, and the bridge did not tremble.
If she closed her eyes, she might not even feel the presence of a large statue in front of her.
This meant that when these large statues moved, they were much faster and sounder than Lin Sanjiu.
"Why … Why are you the ones who are worried?"
The little boy's excited voice came from the lips of the frozen and motionless plaster statue. "Because we are the ones who need to hide."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She looked at the large white statues in the courtyard through the gap between the two sides of the bridge. "You want me … to look for you?"
Not to mention searching, even if she didn't want to, with the size of this group of statues, it was impossible for her not to see them.
"Yes, yes," the statue of the child became excited. "We will hide in this courtyard, and you will find us. Of course, this hide-and-seek might not be the same as the hide-and-seek that kids usually play. Let me tell you about it. Come, come into the courtyard. "
Just as Lin Sanjiu took a step forward, she suddenly remembered the finger that came down from the sky and crushed people in the Salvation of God. She quickly turned to her mentor and instructed, "Don't go in. Stand at the other end of the bridge. If I call you, come back. "
The tutor clenched his fists and encouraged her like a cartoon character. "Don't panic. You have to believe in yourself. Only with confidence can you stimulate your potential!"
If it came from the mouth of a human, such empty words would sound like nonsense. However, when it came from the mouth of a Special Item, it seemed to have an effect. When Lin Sanjiu found her footing in the courtyard, she felt a little calmer.
There were a total of five plaster statues of different sizes. They surrounded Lin Sanjiu almost like five buildings.
The largest statue was the thick-bearded man. It was at least six or seven stories tall. If Lin Sanjiu hadn't seen it from afar, she wouldn't have been able to see it clearly even if she broke her neck. The thick-bearded man statue held a spear in his hand. It was the only statue with the lower body of a fish. Its fishtail was hooked in the air. The thinnest part of the statue was enough for two adults to slide side by side.
The smallest statue was the statue of the child. It was only the size of a train. It tilted its head as if it was listening to the voices of humans and birds. Whenever it spoke, it would stick close to Lin Sanjiu and look at the sky with its white, empty eyes.
In this hide-and-seek game, you will always be the 'ghost'. In other words, you will be the one looking for the person, "the statue of the child said with a grin." That's because we all want to hide. Hiding is the most fun! "
"What's the difference between this and a normal hide-and-seek game?" Lin Sanjiu asked nervously.
"Because this game gives you a huge advantage," the statue of the child said. "Just like a normal hide-and-seek game, you have to count from one to ten to give us time to hide. However, whenever you count to an even number, you can open your eyes to take a look. When you count to an odd number, you have to close your eyes. Do you still have to worry about not being able to find your target this way? "
If Lin Sanjiu had learned anything from her many years of Pocket Dimensions, it would be this: The more you appear to have an advantage, the more you should not let your guard down.
"Is there anything else?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
"Of course, that's only the first difference. The second difference is that every time you play the 'ghost' to look for someone, you only have one target. The target will change randomly, "the statue of the child said with a grin." Do you see this big brother with curly hair? "
Lin Sanjiu took two steps back and tried her best to raise her head. She could barely make out the statue of the curly-haired man on her left. It was the second largest statue after the statue of the bearded man.
This Pocket Dimension was quite reasonable when it came to the useless details. The middle-aged man was the largest, followed by the younger man. The two female statues with flower baskets were similar in size to the two female statues with water bottles. They were all smaller than the statue of the curly-haired man.
"For example, the target of the first round of hide-and-seek is this big brother with curly hair. You have to find him, and you can only find him. All of us will hide, but if you mistake someone else for this big brother with curly hair, you will lose and you will be punished. "
"What punishment?"
The statue of the child was still in a half-raised posture, just like any other statue. At first glance, it looked like an inanimate object. Lin Sanjiu felt as if someone was hiding among the statues and playing a recording.
"Every time you find the wrong person, you will lose 5% of your stamina," it said cheerfully. "That's not a heavy punishment, right? Isn't it reasonable? Don't think that you can only lose 20 times. After all, you can also recover your stamina at the same time. "
"What if all my stamina is deducted?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
The statue of the child laughed happily and shyly, as if someone was about to give it a grand prize. However, it did not give a detailed answer.
Lin Sanjiu understood now. When her stamina was depleted, it would be meaningless even if she knew what was going to happen next.
"If I find the right target, I can leave?"
The face of the child's statue tilted to the sky was silent for a few seconds.
"No … That's not it. Finding the target in hide-and-seek can only ensure that your stamina is not deducted, "it said as if it was singing. "You have found the right target," it said in a sing-song voice, "and now we begin the next round. We have waited for so many years, how can we let you leave after a few rounds? "
