Chapter 2: A Strange Village
Gao Ying continued to explain: "The questions on the exam papers need to be searched within this village. So ......"
After he roughly explained the details, everyone felt incredible.
"Ghost ...... I, I'm afraid of ghost ......" There were 7 girls who came in this time, and most of them were scared. And the boys are excited, eternal life! If you pass the exam again and again, you can get a life that will never die! Some people even say that ghosts are also divided into good and evil, they have not done bad things, and ghosts have no reason to kill them. And they heard Gao Ying say that the ghost would not kill them after making the question, and they also used this to comfort themselves, and the previous exams had proved that saying this was not cheating.
However, Ji Yixuan maintained a high degree of calm. There is no such thing as a free lunch? Is eternal life so easy to obtain? He realized that this was only a temptation from the devil, and the price they had to pay would be extremely terrifying.
"How many people did you take the last exam?" He asked in a voice that only Gao Ying could hear.
Gao Ying understood, and also replied in a low voice: "Same as this time, a total of 20 people." In the end, only 3 people survived. β
15% survival rate!
Ji Yixuan also felt dizzy in front of him. However, he was also a man of determination, and then continued: "Did most of them die at the hands of ghosts, or do they die from failing the exam? β
"Most ...... They were all killed by ghosts. β
"Really?"
Ji Yixuan clenched his fists, he forced himself to calm down, and then asked: "The ghost must be killed only if the candidate can fully solve the question, and before that...... You can't kill, right? β
"Yes."
Ji Yixuan nodded, then began to fold the exam paper, grabbed it in the palm of his hand, and said, "My name is Ji Yixuan, Ji of age, one, two, three, one, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's Xuan." β
"Nice name."
19 candidates, and then began to walk around the deserted village.
I thought that I might be able to meet a few villagers, but everywhere I went, there were no people, and I couldn't even see a dog. Most of the houses are extremely dilapidated, and the door opens as soon as it is pushed, and the inside is ...... You can't find anyone.
And what's even weird......
On the walls, on the windows, on the door panels, everywhere it is writtenβ
"Don't talk loudly"!
"Quiet! Be quiet! β
"Be quiet, be quiet!"
Such words are constantly flooding all corners of the village, which is quite creepy, and combined with the questions of the exam papers, it is even more unsettling.
This time, not only did the number of questions increase dramatically, but there were also multiple-choice and subjective questions. The final argument question is as high as 20 points. The title is simple, and it reads, "Please demonstrate why there is a quiet text written everywhere in the village, and the number of words must not be less than 300 words." β
Obviously, this is the biggest mystery of this haunted village. If you can't solve this problem, you will have to deduct a full 20 points, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
They...... Can you pass the test?
Gao Ying looked at the exam questions above and felt that it was dark in front of him. However, he immediately strengthened his determination that this war must not be lost, and now it is just beginning!
"Listen up......" Gao Ying began to plan: "Since the exam time is 3 days, then...... During these 3 days, people need to take turns to arrange vigils. We try to find an open place to stay, and if a ghost appears, it will be easier for us to escape. All in all, what matters at this stage is intelligence gathering. β
watched Gao Ying's arrangement in an orderly manner, and he was a candidate who passed an exam, so everyone naturally listened to his arrangement.
Hou Mingbo walked to Gao Ying's side, lowered his voice and said, "Gao Ying...... In case, in case I can't do it, at the critical moment, you let me ......"
Gao Ying stomped on his foot fiercely, lowered his voice and said, "Don't say those 2 words!" You don't want to die? β
Now that the skeleton hasn't closed its eyes, it's openly discussing cheating, isn't it looking for death? Hou Mingbo was not stupid, he immediately understood, and was scared into a cold sweat. In the end, it is a person who often cheats when he was a student, and he unconsciously forgets what kind of special exam it is.
Gao Ying also arranged that candidates should not gather too much, and about two or three people should find a room to live in, and they should be separated from each other by a certain distance. His apparent reason is that the more people gather, the more voices they can make, and the actual reason is...... If someone dies and makes too much noise, it will not cause others to suffer from the plague of the pond fish.
Gao Ying originally planned to live with Hou Mingbo and Shen Junhao, but after noticing Ji Yixuan, he thought for a while and said to him, "You live with us." β
Ji Yixuan...... Gao Ying felt that he had a lot of places that were somewhat similar to him. With him by his side, maybe he can make up for some of the loopholes in his thinking. As the so-called three stinkers top one Zhuge Liang, in the situation where there are cheating conditions, Ji Yixuan can become his big help.
"Okay." Ji Yixuan was not stupid, he could see Gao Ying's intentions, so he agreed. As a candidate who has had an exam experience, it is really helpful to be with him.
But other candidates have opinions, after all, it seems better to be with Gao Ying, who passed the exam. However, Gao Ying then explained that the exam needs to be completed independently, and cheating is completely prohibited, so even if he is by his side, it is useless. After hearing this, everyone left in a huff. And among them, especially a few female candidates who are okay look at Gao Ying directly, after all, Gao Ying's appearance is really high, and she is definitely a top school grass, and many girls have a dependence on men in this environment.
The candidates walked as lightly as possible, and from the signs that could be seen everywhere in the village, they found that not only should they not speak loudly, but also that other voices should not be too heavy. Seeing the skeletons flying out of the exam papers, the instantaneous spatial shifts and the exam papers that can be put together automatically, they all basically believe in the supernatural power of this exam.
Gao Ying finally chose a house with open roads and slightly higher ground as a temporary shelter.
The room was basically a four-walled house, with only one slate bed. In the corner of the house, there were several clay pots, and when they were opened, Gao Ying found that there were some pickled pickles and meat inside. Salted food is free of microorganisms and can therefore be stored for a long time. It seems that there is basically no need to worry about eating anymore. As for the water, there is a well in the back, and it is also possible to fetch your own water.
"This village is really desolate......"
Hou Mingbo said in a low voice, holding the exam paper again, carefully looking at each question on it. The moonlight had a limited glow, and the words on it were barely legible only when the window was opened.
"I hope ...... We can get through these three days......"
At this time...... Under the previous wall that read "Don't speak loudly", the tall boy who had fallen to the ground was still lying quietly, just ...... The name column on the exam paper has become empty......
