Chapter 13 Not doing the right thing!
"Scissors stone... cloth!"
When Chen Chong shouted the last word, the monster in the mirror almost punched him, all of which were scissors.
This scene is very strange, completely like punching in a mirror, and it is difficult to see the difference.
The temperature in the bathroom was getting colder and colder, and I could already see the white breath I exhaled.
The candlelight was disturbed by breathing and swayed rapidly, illuminating the monsters in the mirror. The cold and cruel cheeks were magnified whenever the light flashed. It seemed to be approaching quietly, trying to break free from the mirror.
The fallen leaves hit the windows, and there was a sound of grinding teeth in the walls. The faucet was obviously twisted very tightly, but there were always water droplets that leaked the net.
The strange sounds were infinitely amplified by the dim environment, which caused great trouble to Chen Chong. He would always unconsciously think of some terrifying scenes and could not concentrate.
For example, there is a pale face on the window, a bloody arm stretches out from the wall behind it, or a long tuft of hair flowing out of the faucet...
This is the natural reaction of ordinary people in dark and unknown environments.
Just like you who are going upstairs in the dark, you will always feel like someone following you. When you turn on the lighting equipment and try to see what's going on, you only see the deserted stairwell.
Chen Chong and the monster in the mirror had a first game of rock-scissors. The latter smiled evilly and hid his hands behind his head again, preparing for a second contest.
Scissors and stone cloth is a rock-scissor game that I often played when I was a child. Even now, it is regarded by many people as a way to cheer up on the wine table.
Stone scissors are used to make scissors, scissors are used to cut cloth, and cloth cover stones. The simple and clear rules make this rock-scissor game without any loopholes.
Chen Chong's back was completely wet with cold sweat, and his clothes were pressed against it, which was very uncomfortable. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough just now, he would have been almost disturbed by other strange phenomena in the dark and had a "cloth"!
What he is doing now is not a simple system as if he loses drinking water or eating candy. This is a question of life and death. If he loses, the monster in the mirror will really rush out of the mirror and strangle himself to death.
Relax!
Relax!
Chen Chong kept reminding him in his heart, then raised his hand and clenched his fists, staring at the monsters in the mirror every move.
Although the gameplay of "Stone Scissors" is extremely simple, once the number of rounds increases, the matchup will gradually evolve into a psychological game.
"The last time the 'scissors' was released, will the monster in the mirror have a 'stone' this time? Or it also considered that it would produce a stone, so it took one more step in advance and produced a 'cloth'?"
Chen Chong conceived many assumptions in his mind, but he did not get satisfactory results.
First of all, the other party is not a human being, and cannot use ordinary people's thinking assumptions, and cannot capture action intentions from facial expressions.
Secondly, there is no punishment after the opponent loses, and he has the advantage in nature!
"Um?"
Chen Chong suddenly frowned, as if he had been unknowingly held his nose by the monster in the mirror and had completely lost the initiative?
This is a taboo in the game of rock-scissors!
Dong!
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the mirror. Chen Chong looked closely and found that there was a long crack in the mirror on the wall, extending to both ends, as if dividing the mirror into two.
It was done by the monster in the mirror!
It is urging!
Chen Chong took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth, "Stone scissors... cloth!"
Like last time, when the last stress fell, Chen Chong and the monster in the mirror punched almost at the same time, without any drag.
The only difference is that when Chen Chong punched this time, he made a strange sound in his hand, similar to the sound of the fingernails rubbing against the skin when he flicked his fingers. And there was more than one sound, but was connected in series by several, with extremely fast frequency, making people mistakenly think that there was only one sound.
However, this is not the point. The point is that this time the monster in the mirror has a "stone" and Chen Chong has a "cloth".
Win a game!
The monster in the mirror seemed to have never expected this result. Its smile was restrained and his face was expressionless. The pair of eyes that kept turning up and only showed the whites of their eyes appeared more blood, just like a glass ball that was about to shatter. It made people feel cold in their hearts and their hair was upside down.
Chen Chong kept observing the reaction of the monster in the mirror. It was not until the latter hid his hands again that he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and felt happy.
"I didn't expect my cleverness to come in handy!"
The reason why so many strange sounds were made just now was mainly because when he punched, his four fingers were exerting force!
If you can slow down the situation at that moment, you will find that he first pops up his index finger, then his middle finger, then his ring finger and little finger, and finally opens his thumb.
This is nothing at all. After all, everyone has different flexibility in their fingers. It is normal for them to have some deviations in the order of fingering when opening their palms.
But if we look at the current rock-scissors game, Chen Chong almost instantly showed off three gestures: "stone", "scissors" and "cloth"!
As long as he reacts quickly enough, no matter what his opponent makes, he can rely on this method to form a counter-arguing gesture. If not, a draw is the final bottom line, but he will never lose.
He is already invincible!
Although this method is not glorious, the opponent is not a human being and there are no psychological barriers at all.
"Stone scissors... cloth!"
Monster in the mirror: scissors.
Chen Chong: Stone.
"Stone scissors... cloth!"
Monster in the mirror: cloth.
Chen Chong: Scissors.
After three consecutive games, Chen Chong finally showed a relieved smile, and even the strange atmosphere around him was invisibly faded a lot, at least he was no longer as creepy as before.
"Although this difficult task is much more complicated, there is no head-on conflict. The difficulty should be lower than the last time. I just don't know if the task reward will be reduced because of this."
Chen Chong rubbed his hands excitedly, and was about to wipe away the cold sweat from his forehead and cheeks, but his smile became stiffer a little.
Because until now, the bathroom has not changed at all, the sound of falling leaves still hitting the windows, and the sound of teeth grinding in the walls has not disappeared, especially the dripping water in the faucet, which is faster!
It seemed as if something was touching the heart, and it was beating faster and faster.
Looking up at the mirror, I saw that the face of "self" in the mirror was distorted, and seemed very angry. Then, it raised its arm again and hid its hands behind its head!
"Is this...not giving up?"
Chen Chong didn't expect this to be the result. His mouth twitched and his eyelids trembled slightly.
He has seen many people who have been looking for abuse, but this is the first time he has seen the "ghost" who has been looking for abuse.
"Since you want to win so much... I'll let you lose completely, so as not to find people to play the 'Shoots and Sags' game all day long and not do your job!"
Chen Chong's mouth showed a cruel smile.
"Stone scissors... cloth!"
