Chapter 42: The Value of Life
A month sounds like a long time, but if it's waiting for a death exam, it's too short.
Gao Ying begged Shen Junhao to teach him some breathing and breathing, and the basics of physical arts. It's definitely too late to practice martial arts now, but it's always good to keep fit. Shen Junhao is bold, grateful for the kindness of surviving by plagiarizing Gao Ying's answers, and does not reserve it at all, and teaches him with all his heart.
After more than ten days passed, Gao Ying looked a little thinner because of hard training. I don't know what kind of scenario the exam will face next, let alone what kind of question type it will be this time, and whether there will be subjective questions. But in any case, this time, he must pass too!
Of course, you have to prepare for everything. Gao Ying has never given up on escaping from the classroom, but there is no better countermeasure for the time being. Although the exam is dangerous, at least the ghost must be killed on the premise that the candidate has the ability to solve the question, but if you escape, you will "bear the consequences". Gao Ying is just a senior high school graduate, and he definitely doesn't have the ability of Maoshan Heavenly Master, if he escapes without a plan, he is afraid that he will die quickly.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Gao Ying had an idea. That's ...... Find Pathfinder Cannon Fodder!
Of course, this statement sounds ugly, but this is the best way for Gao Ying to weigh the pros and cons.
Gao Ying noticed something. After Zhang Wei died, his exam paper became a blank paper with no answers. Therefore, it may be possible to use this method to explore the possibility of fleeing. But at present, none of the three people can choose to flee.
Gao Ying was also very entangled in his heart, he was originally a kind and sunny person at heart, and he actually wanted to use such means in exchange for survival. But he was just an ordinary person in the end, and watching so many candidates die in front of him, he truly experienced the horror of death. There are many things in life that you can't choose, and in extreme circumstances, you will inevitably encounter moral dilemmas.
It's just, the next exam, will he be able to pass it? And will the next monthly exam really enter new candidates? He was completely unsure about this.
However, time passed in a hurry like a white horse.
"We must first take advantage of the cheating rule of the skeleton closing their eyes, but when anyone wants to cheat, don't prompt others to help cheat, lest the skeleton open its eyes and lead to bad consequences."
This is the fifteenth day, and the three of Gao Ying will hold the exam again in 2 weeks. Because there is too much information lacking, all Gao Ying can do is improve his ability to act.
"Ahh
Hou Mingbo's B written on paper (there is a desk in every room, there is no shortage of paper and pencils) only half of it was written before it was caught by Shen Junhao. Now, Gao Ying is training candidates to prepare for a contingency drill before the crisis comes, and whether they can quickly write down the answers.
"If it was a formal exam, you'd be dead by now." Gao Ying observed this scene and said: "Also, in the worst-case scenario, if you don't know the answer, you will get one, and you can't just stay stupid and do nothing." ”
At this time, Shen Junhao suddenly asked, "Gao Ying, if you follow the rules of cheating by your inference, you really don't tell the new candidates...... If there will be one? ”
Gao Ying nodded, and repeatedly emphasized this: "Yes! Once the new candidates find out, they will come crazy to snatch our papers. We copy it for them, and it's possible that we'll die for helping to cheat, and the skeleton closes its eyes for just a few seconds, and maybe the new moon exam will get longer, but no one knows. If you don't copy it, then the despicable side of human nature will be exposed......"
Regarding this point, Hou Mingbo and Shen Junhao glanced at each other, and they both thought it was true.
The days passed in the days of drills, fitness, meetings, eating and sleeping. For a month, staying in this gloomy dormitory square also made Gao Ying and others quite depressed. There is no alternation of day and night, and the range of activities has always been confined to such a small range.
On the twenty-fifth day, Hou Mingbo and Shen Junhao, who were unbearable by the upcoming monthly exams, both had the idea of escaping from the classroom to try Yibo. But when I got to the door, I still didn't dare. The unknown is always the most terrifying, after all, they are not like Zhao Ming, who thinks that they can exorcise ghosts with a few bottles of children's urine.
"Am I going to die? Am I going to die? ”
Hou Mingbo and Shen Junhao were both pressured by the fear of this thought, and regarded Gao Ying as the last straw. But he didn't know that the current Gao Ying only considered his own survival possibilities, and he had no spare energy to find a way to protect Hou Shen and the others.
The days when the exam is getting closer and closer, Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling are each welcoming their new exams.
The countdown to the monthly exam is decreasing day by day, and the terrifying new exam is coming!
The day before the monthly exam, it finally arrived.
After all, there was no alarm clock here, and in order not to be late for the exam, the three of them decided to sleep in the classroom at night. After taking the quilt from the room and covering it, the three of them made do with the night's sleep. Of course, no one can sleep well.
A new day...... And so it came.
This month of fear is coming to an end.
"I can't sleep......"
At this time, Hou Mingbo, who was lying in front of the desk covered with a quilt, raised his head and looked at Gao Ying, who was sitting not far behind him.
"Sleep, you have to be mentally prepared for tomorrow's monthly exam." How could Gao Ying not understand Hou Mingbo's thoughts, but now he has done everything he can do, and he can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.
Looking at the door in front of the classroom, Hou Mingbo couldn't help but wonder, what was outside the door...... What is it like? What kind of space is this?
Looking at Hou Mingbo, who couldn't sleep peacefully, Gao Ying recalled reading World War II history papers written by his father when he was a child. My father had systematically studied World War II, and because of the need for academic research, he went to Europe to meet many World War II veterans and experienced the devastation of war on human nature. Father once said that any praise of war is feeble. One of the most brutal things in the world is the legalized killing - war. Any life, in the face of war, is nothing more than a mere expendable.
Gao Ying thought at that time that he understood the cruelty of war, but now he realized how superficial his perception and understanding of war was at that time, and it was completely an itch in his boots.
The cruelty of war lies in the ruthless destruction of life and the complete destruction of human nature. And now he is facing a war - a war with the dead!
Why...... Is life so fragile and impermanent? Is human life really precious? But in the presence of ghosts, people die like ants. People never value the lives of bugs, but they don't know that they can be visited by death at any time. Isn't it self-deception for human beings to think that their lives are the most precious?
Gao Ying couldn't suppress this self-doubt about the value of life, could it be that only immortal immortality was the only life of value?
