Chapter 61
Mosaic School (12)
“The rules of the game are simple. The students participating in the game will stand at the starting point, which is here.” The female teacher stepped on the red rope in the middle of the classroom with her high heels. “Once the game starts, I will stand at the end of the classroom in front of the window with my eyes closed. You will move to the finish line as quickly as possible while my eyes are closed.”
“However, you should be careful. Try not to make too much noise during the movement. Once I turn my head and open my eyes, you must be like a statue with no movement. You must not make any sounds or expressions. You must be completely still.”
“The students who can’t do it will be considered to fail the game and will be out. The other statues will continue to play until I turn my head and close my eyes,” the female teacher said while twisting her neck 180 degrees. “As long as one of the statues successfully moves to the finish line, you can get the prompt about tonight’s school rule.”
The twisted neck of the female teacher was chilling, but the last rule made everyone see hope.
The Statues game didn’t seem that difficult. Based on the rules, only one person needed to successfully make it to the finish line and they would pass smoothly. Getting the reward meant that everyone would know the answer to the taboo.
“I don’t know if the students are clear about the rules or not. Remember, any movement in my line of sight is absolutely forbidden.”
Chi Nan asked, “Why is the starting point the middle of the classroom rather than where we are standing now?”
According to the usual thinking, the starting point was often at the entrance, so as to ensure that there was enough room to play.
