"You are lying!"

Nakano Taro wiped his nose with his sleeve and shouted unyieldingly: "I know every secret place in the kindergarten. There is no way you can find the secret base!"

"Hey, I won't tell you where it is!"

Lihua showed a condescending and smug smile.

"You lie, you lie, you lie, you just want to play hide and seek with us!"

Taro got anxious and retorted with a red face.

"That's right!" The other little boys echoed, "We won't play with girls!"

"I don't want to play with you. I really know it! But I won't tell you!"

Lihua's tone was slow and tedious, which made people very angry.

"..."

Xiao Xiaohui looked away, as if it was none of her business. So she raised her shovel and continued to play with the sand.

But gradually, the quarrel became louder and louder, attracting the whole class and even alarming the teacher. Taro found that he could not win the argument, and the other party refused to disclose the location of the secret base, so he wiped his snot on Rika's clothes.

And now, he was being pinned to the ground and hammered by the little girl.

"Well……"

Xiao Xiaohui tilted her head and made a very cute sound, then silently said two words in her heart: idiot.

Well, it’s still none of my business. The castle is almost finished.

Xiao Xiaohui turned into a little architect, and was completing her work seriously. However, the teacher's sudden voice interrupted her actions. Caught off guard, she accidentally split the castle in half with a shovel.

"Hui-chan~~~"

The teacher was surrounded by a group of children, but she looked at Hui with a smile and asked, "The whole class is participating in the hide-and-seek game. The prize for the winner is not only the champion candy, but also the sunflowers that the teacher folded by hand during class!"

"Eh?"

Xiao Xiaohui stood up, her eyes showing a hint of joy. The teacher called her name and took the initiative to invite her to play games! The little girl dropped her shovel and ran over with a cheerful step.

After touching her head, the teacher began to introduce the rules of the game.

Taro is the "ghost" and all the students in the class hide. But those who are caught will join the ranks of the "ghosts" and help find other students. However, those who are found are not allowed to tell the location of others and can only find them by themselves!

The winning condition is to find the most "ghosts" or the students who hide until the end without being discovered. The boundary range cannot cross the playground, and the time limit is 30 minutes!

This was the teacher's way of settling quarrels. Under this rule of 'mutation' when caught, the game could be over in almost three minutes, because everyone would see the direction their 'companion' was hiding before hiding, and sometimes several could be caught at once.

But innocent children’s minds are not that complicated, and teachers’ participation in games will make them happier.

After introducing the rules, Taro blindfolded himself and began to count down loudly, and the children immediately dispersed.

After all, the six-year-old Xiao Xiaohui was still a senior in kindergarten. She looked at her classmates hiding quickly and became a little anxious. So she took a deep breath and quickly looked for a place to hide.

She ran to the bottom of the slide? There was already someone there!

Behind the cardboard with the little animal? It’s too easy to be found!

Bushes? Three girls have already run over there...

Xiao Xiaohui went straight into the tunnel fortress, but her classmates were hiding at every fork or corner. So she climbed to the top of the fortress, and when she looked up accidentally, she was almost startled.

Little Lihua was like a spider, with her feet on the edge of the gap, and her whole body stuck inside the triangular "roof". When she saw Hui had discovered her, she freed one hand to make a gesture of silence, and then desperately pulled at her little palm, urging her to leave quickly.

Well, this is her secret place. The most dangerous place is also the safest place. It is not easy to find if you don’t look up.

So Hui quickly got out of the fortress, and at this time the playground was empty, and Taro's countdown was within ten seconds...

The bewildered little girl panicked, and in desperation, she noticed the edge of the playground, where the wall was recessed. It was a blind spot, and if she didn't actively walk over there, she would definitely not be discovered.

So Hui ran over quickly. Although she was still easy to find, she couldn't care less.

Xiao Xiaohui sat down against the corner, and her arms tightly wrapped around her knees showed that she was very nervous.

"Found it, the first one!"

After a while, Taro's voice came from a distance. Hui Shining's eyes widened and she didn't dare to breathe out of nervousness.

"Haha, I knew you were here, Xiao Wang. You're still a hundred years away from playing with me!"

Well, the second unlucky guy has been found.

"Xiaofu is here!"

"Nobita, I know you're in the puppy house!"

"Jingxiang..."

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

More and more people joined the ranks of the 'ghosts', and from time to time there were sounds very close by. Xiao Xiaohui's mood fluctuated greatly and she became extremely nervous.

Suddenly, the little girl was stunned, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously stood up. She had been found. It turned out that she would lose if she hid here.

Because Taro walked to her side, only about two meters away from her, which meant they were face to face.

But in the next second, before this guy could fully react, a kid in the distance suddenly shouted his name. Not only did the boy betray Lihua, he also violated the rules of the game by saying that he saw Lihua hiding in the tunnel fortress!

This made Taro very happy. He didn't even look to the right and ran back without saying a word...

Xiao Xiaohui, who had already stood up, opened her mouth wide and watched him run back from her side... ran back? I'm already face to face with you, idiot!

At this moment, she could clearly hear her own heartbeat. When she came to her senses, sweat had already covered her forehead.

Okay, Xiao Xiaohui squatted down silently again.

Gradually, more classmates were found. Hui heard footsteps coming from a distance, but before they got too close, Taro's voice came again. He sounded a little anxious and shouted, "Idiot, I've already looked over there! Come over here and find the rest of the people!"

The footsteps gradually faded away, and Xiao Xiaohui breathed a sigh of relief again. At the same time, she felt secretly happy and proud in her heart. She was going to win!

She opened her mouth slightly and whispered in a smug tone: "What an idiot."

After experiencing the continuous stimulation of tension and relaxation, and after making sure that she was 'absolutely safe', she completely relaxed.

Then, Hui just had to wait for the teacher to say the game was over, and then she would walk out as a winner and take the prize from the teacher under Taro's surprised gaze.

Then when mom comes to pick me up, I take out the prize to show her and give her one of the candies.

Children’s minds are so innocent, all they want is to be noticed or praised by adults.

Just wait for the teacher to call the end... just wait...

Hui felt a little tired because of her mother's forgetfulness yesterday and her teacher's neglect. In fact, she felt a little depressed all day.

So she just closed her eyes obediently during her nap, and didn't feel sleepy until the nap was almost over. But she was woken up immediately after she fell asleep.

Unconsciously, the little girl leaned against the wall and closed her eyes, and the sound of even breathing came out of her nostrils.

-------------------------------------

A gust of cool breeze woke the sleeping ceramic doll. She closed her eyes and stretched lazily, making a baby "mmm" sound from her mouth. She was so adorable.

As her brain gradually became clear, she slowly opened her eyes. When her vision came into focus... what she saw was pitch black?

"Eh?"

Xiao Xiaohui let out a lovely exclamation. In the dark night, her gaze changed from surprise to confusion, and then to enlightenment... Finally, she fumbled to her feet and walked out of the corner carefully.

Where is the teacher? Where are my classmates? Why is it getting dark?

It seems... I overslept?

The dim sky was dyed with color by the neon lights. Outside the kindergarten, the nightlife of the big city had just begun, but the open-air playground was dead silent and dark.

Xiao Xiaohui slowly walked to the center of the playground, where there were jigsaw puzzles, sand, tunnel fortresses, swings...

Everything is so familiar, yet so strange. Like other children, Xiao Xiaohui looks forward to the afternoon time the most every day, and this is also her favorite place.

But why does the place that was the happiest place during the day now feel so disgusting, so repulsive, and so... scary?

"I won."

In the darkness, a child's voice rang out, but there was no response.

"I'm out, Taro-san, Rika-san!"

Xiao Xiaohui walked towards the gate of the playground while calling out her classmates' names, but still no response.

"Teacher Saina, where are you?"

She walked to the entrance of the amusement park, but the gate had been locked from the outside. Xiao Xiaohui pulled the gate hard, but it only made a "clang clang" sound.

"It's such an easy place to find, why can't you find it?"

"I won, why don't you come out? I won!"

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The little hands pushed and pulled the door hard, and frequent collision sounds were heard.

"As long as you pay a little attention, you can find it. Why can't anyone else find it? Are we all idiots?" Her complaints became louder and even had a hint of tears in her voice.

A cool breeze blew from afar again, causing the little girl who was shaking the door desperately to shiver.

With tears streaming down her face, Xiao Xiaohui looked around helplessly, her large pupils reflecting only helplessness. At this moment, tears were like pearls falling from a broken string, continuously falling from her porcelain doll-like face.

"Teacher! Dad!! Mom!!! Sister..."

She began to shout the teacher's name, calling her mother, father, sister... but there was still no response.

At this moment, she realized that school was over a long time ago and the teacher had forgotten about her when counting the number of students. She vaguely remembered that before leaving the house this morning, her mother seemed to have told her father that she had to work overtime today and asked her father to pick her up.

My father was on the phone at the time and just nodded perfunctorily. Now it seems that he didn't listen... They forgot to pick me up and take me home.

They just forgot, right? They will definitely remember it, because their mother will call them to eat, and let them and their sister take a bath first. As long as they wait, they will come to pick them up.

Yes, just wait!

Xiao Xiaohui lowered her head in disappointment, clenched her fists tightly to cheer herself up, but the next second, she couldn't help feeling disappointed again. She turned and walked towards the sand, waiting, playing with sand to kill time.

But when she got to the sandy ground, she discovered that the little red bucket, shovel and all the other tools had been taken away by the teacher… So the strong little girl wiped away her tears and looked at the swings, slides and tunnels with shining eyes… Now that no one was snatching them away, she could play to her heart’s content.

In the darkness, the little girl climbed up the slide and slid down silently. She seemed unsatisfied and slid down again a few more times.

Then, she walked towards the tunnel fortress, but was stunned when she reached the entrance. It was pitch black inside because there was no light at all, which felt very scary!

"Only idiots like to dig tunnels!"

The little girl turned and walked towards the swing, because it was the girls' favorite thing and was usually monopolized by them. She had been transferred to this school for half a month and had never played on it!

So, she sat on it, with her legs gently staring at the ground. Although she had never experienced what it felt like to be pushed from behind, she was satisfied now...

Although this area is located in the city center, cars are not allowed to honk on this section of road because there is a kindergarten here.

The environment was dark and quiet at this time, but you could still see the surrounding scenery clearly.

People have a very strange trait: at night or in an absolutely quiet environment, their senses become many times more sensitive, and sometimes even the slightest sounds in the distance can be heard very clearly.

So now, the sound of the swing swinging is so harsh and so weird?

"Well?"

Xiao Xiaohui tilted her head in confusion. Was the swing so noisy? Was it covered by the noises of her classmates during the day?

She felt lost again in doubt and murmured to herself, "It would be good if I didn't participate in the game, it would be good if I didn't fall asleep, it would be good if... I didn't come to Tokyo... um?"

Xiao Xiaohui was interrupted by a cool breeze before she could finish her words. Her young body trembled and her eyes were attracted by a strange image on the wall.

She didn't understand what the refraction of light and darkness was, she only saw three small black holes on the dark wall, two on the top and one on the bottom. Put together, it looked like... a weird face?

Do they look alike? Why didn't I notice them during the day? They don't look alike... No, the more I look at them, the more they look alike.

At this moment, she shuddered suddenly and held her breath.

Xiao Xiaohui recalled a channel she accidentally switched to while watching TV one day. The scene on TV was very similar to her own scene, both were dark and quiet. Although she quickly changed the channel, the few seconds of pause were still fresh in her memory.

Now this face looks like... a ghost!

She became scared again, and her little head was spinning around in confusion.

"Cuckoo."

A vague sound entered her ears, causing Xiao Xiaohui's body to tremble violently. Did I hear it wrong? No, no. But the sound just now must not have been made by the swing, because she was no longer swinging!

Hui looked at the 'human face' again, she opened her mouth and murmured, her bright eyes now filled with fear and terror.

She jumped off the swing, eager to find a safe place to hide. She ran to the tunnel fortress again, but just when she got halfway in, a terrifying thing seemed to appear in the deep darkness.
