From time to time, a few players pass by in the distance, and most people gather together in groups, as if they feel that as long as there are more people, they will be safer.
Several people stopped not far from the door of the green room.
At first glance, it can be seen that they are mostly girls, with a few boys-looking people interspersed among them. They seem to be students. They look very nervous.
Seeing Gu Mian and others coming over, one of the boys was timid and seemed to want to come over and say something.
But just when his eyes came into contact with the fat man following Gu Mian, he retracted his half-stretched foot.
The fat man also noticed what was going on here. He touched his face thoughtfully: "Am I very ferocious?"
Logically speaking, the doctor should look more ferocious than me.
The fat man was still thinking in his mind when he saw a boy with a hesitant look on his face, as if he had been struggling for a while, and walked towards them with his head raised.
They were heading towards Chu Changge. At this time, Mr. Green and the female ghost, two very uncomfortable-looking creatures, were not there, so the three of them looked like normal people.
The male student first came over to Chu Changge, who seemed to be easier to talk to.
Chu Changge's tone was rare and gentle: "What's the matter?"
Fatty had never heard Chu Changge speak in such a tone, and he couldn't help but be very curious.
'So gentle, there must be a conspiracy' - he thought in his heart.
The boy who came over saw that Chu Changge seemed to be easy to talk to, and his originally nervous expression relaxed. Then he took a deep breath and said, "You also saw that lantern riddle, right? The braided lantern riddle."
Hearing this, the fat man became curious: "Why, are you here to answer that lantern riddle too?"
For a moment, Fatty felt a sense of crisis. What if the lantern riddles were answered first by these students, but then he remembered something.
The lantern is still in their hands. Even if these students find the answer, they still can't find the lantern.
The fat man relaxed as he thought about it.
When the boy saw the ferocious-looking fat man next to him, he frowned at first, as if he wanted to get angry, but then he relaxed, as if he had thought of something funny, and the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily.
‘This man is moody and he is definitely not easy to mess with!’ The boy quickly looked away and looked at the harmless Chu Changge in front of him: “We are indeed here to answer this lantern riddle… In fact, we have been here for a while…”
Chu Changge frowned slightly: "You didn't do what the riddle said?"
"No" the boy shook his head: "We did it, but we didn't get the answer..."
"Didn't get an answer?" Gu Mian touched his chin.
The boy boldly took a look at Gu Mian. Seeing that the doctor looked quite gentle, he nodded: "Someone went in...but didn't come out."
He swallowed and continued: "At first, four of us classmates wanted to answer this lantern riddle. Two boys and two girls. The two boys went in together, and asked the girls to stay outside when they went in...
"
If it were a normal matter to tie a little girl's hair, it would definitely be more appropriate to let a girl do it.
But now is a special situation, and girls must not be allowed to do it.
The male classmate in front of him then spoke: "There was no movement after they entered. Then our two female classmates got anxious and called them outside, but there was no sound inside."
They waited for a long time, and there was another wave of ghosts in the middle, but there was still no movement from the two male classmates inside.
"We happened to be passing by at this time, and we recognized the two male classmates who went in... Then we also sent three people here to look for them..."
Even if he didn't tell what happened next, Gu Mian could still guess it.
"Those three people didn't come out either?" Chu Changge pushed up his glasses.
The boy nodded with a pale face: "And there was no sound at all. No one responded when we called outside... and we didn't dare to go in."
Chu Changge then asked: "How long have you been in there?"
"The first two people have been in for about half an hour, and the next three have been in for ten minutes..." The boy raised his head: "You also want to go in, right?"
Gu Mian nodded solemnly.
It took a lot of effort to knock down the lantern. It would be a shame not to go in.
There was a somewhat frightened expression on the boy's face: "The things inside should be very scary, you should be careful...and...can I ask you a favor?"
Although he said please, there was no expression of expectation on his face, as if he felt in his heart that this request would not be successful, but he was unwilling to let go of any opportunity.
"If you guys go in, can you help us see how our friends are doing?" The boy raised his head and looked at Gu Mian and the others in front of him sincerely.
This is not a difficult matter.
The boy in front of him lowered his head again: "We are about to give up. If you don't come out after twenty minutes, we have to leave. We can't wait here forever."
The fat man looked at Gu Mian, then at Chu Changge, then patted his fleshy chest: "No problem, just wait here."
It seemed that he didn't expect this ferocious-looking fat man to be so enthusiastic, and the boys were a little surprised.
In fact, the fat man was also thinking about it. The lantern riddle said that there was a little girl here, but five people went in and disappeared inexplicably, and there was no sound at all. This shows that the things in this house are very scary.
When he stepped into the threshold of the green room, the fat man looked back at the group of students who looked like him behind him.
I saw the leading boy sitting lonely on the steps, leaving only their lonely backs.
The posture was very much like that of a young man who came to visit his parents' graves during the Qingming Festival. He was sad and mournful.
He seemed to have given up any hope, and he didn't expect Gu Mian and the others to come out alive.
He was waiting here probably because he wanted to find an excuse to leave with peace of mind.
