Chapter 13: The Escape Test

Day 3.

I woke up at noon on the third day. When I opened my eyes, I felt a terrible headache, and the experience of the previous two days was clearly in my mind, and every scene clearly told me that nothing was a dream. (I didn't know until now that Director Li and Director Tian conducted a silence test and a manic test on us the next day, respectively, and the drugs needed for the test were mixed in our food.) And there are many more incredible pilot projects waiting for us. But luckily, we're going to die soon, because there's never a shortage of test subjects like us in this school. )

Everyone seemed to be back to normal on the same day at the same time, as we could tell from the look of fear on each other's faces. We also regained our normal ability to speak, and began to get together to guess what exactly this place was and what the school had quarantined us in, but it turned out naturally in vain. But we still have a glimmer of hope for luck, hoping that our premonition of a tragic fate is unnecessary.

During this day, Director Li and Director Tian did not show up, the door above the screen was also open, the canteen was full of food, and the multi-purpose hall showed the illusion of freedom everywhere. But in such a situation, even if we know that it is a trap, we still refuse to give up the opportunity to escape. Many of them had been injured in yesterday's manic test, and had not yet fully recovered their strength, and in the end, out of twenty-seven people, three boys and five girls who had been less affected by the test, were selected as daredevils, and all they had to face were two unguarded wooden doors, which were the only exits to the multipurpose hall.

Xu Tong and I deliberately feigned weakness (we weren't the only ones doing this) and mingled in the crowd to watch the five men walk towards the door. Three boys in front and two girls behind, and their caution at every step seemed so comical in this situation, because as they reached the door, the twenty-two men behind them made one thing clear at the same time: we can't get out. Suddenly five nooses reflecting the metallic luster appeared under the feet of the five men, and the nooses wrapped around the ankles of the five men at an incredible speed, and then the five men were hung upside down and hung in front of the two wooden doors.

Strangely, when the five men were hung upside down, they erupted in ghostly laughter at the same time, as if they had managed to escape the danger as planned. Their arms were waving back and forth in mid-air, their legs shaking rapidly and uncoincidentally, and it seemed to us that they were running upside down, and as for the end, it seemed that only they could see it.

"Look at their tangled foot. Xu Tongtong touched me with his arm and whispered to me.

I looked at the five nooses, which had been trapped in the noose, and saw that the nooses had sunk deep into the flesh, and occasionally intermittent blood splattered out with the movements of the five men, while the owner of the five legs was still running in vain in ignorance.

"There was psychedelics on the noose, and the flesh had been torn by the time the noose was put on their ankles. I said to Xu Tong.

Xu Tong looked at me and nodded, "Everything is designed, everything is designed." He muttered to himself.

Finally, the five nooses broke the feet of the five men, and the five fell to the ground and lost consciousness. At this time, a man in white and a cart appeared through the narrow door above the screen, and Director Li followed them into the bedroom.

"Don't leave anything to chance. Director Li looked at the expressionless twenty-two people and said coldly. Behind him, the man in white had already lifted the five men on the ground onto the trolley, lowered the noose, and removed the broken foot.

"Don't leave anything to chance, only then will you have any hope of living. These were the last words that Director Li left us before leaving.
