Chapter 7: Dark Shadows
Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan moved in the opposite direction to the scream. However, the roads in this village are uneven, and they can't make a sound when they walk, which also makes the two miserable.
I don't know how long they walked, but they stopped in front of a room. In front of the house was an arched bridge, but there was only a ravine below the arched bridge, and there was not a drop of water.
Ji Yixuan wanted to move on, but Gao Ying grabbed his sleeve and pointed to a few green grasses on the ground.
He doesn't know why, there are no questions on the exam paper that involve grass? But Gao Ying approached him and whispered, "This herb can reduce swelling!" ”
Gao Ying is a genius in all arts and sciences, and his knowledge of biology is also extremely solid. He recognized at a glance that it was a plant called plantain, which could be used as a traditional Chinese medicine to reduce swelling. Ji Yixuan's hand was injured, and he could just use this for treatment.
Gao Ying crouched down and began to collect plantain. Subsequently, he began to gently grind the grass with a stone and smear it on Ji Yixuan's hands. Before applying the herbs, Gao Ying repeatedly emphasized that it might be a little painful and he couldn't make a sound. If Ji Yixuan made any sound, Gao Ying could only quickly flee from him.
However, Gao Ying also admired Ji Yixuan for being a man, and he forcibly endured the pain of taking medicine. His forehead was covered with sweat, but he couldn't help but keep his voice.
After Gao Ying applied the herbs, he was temporarily relieved. Then, he looked into the room behind him. The door of the house was clearly hidden, and the whole house had two floors, and the outside was completely covered by a stone wall. And around this house, there are only a few trees, and there are no other houses.
Over here...... Could there be any clues?
"Are your arms better?"
"Much better...... Thank you, Gao Ying. ”
Gao Ying cast a look of admiration and approval at Ji Yixuan, and then he looked at the location of the source of the screaming sound, but it was already blocked by some trees. I don't know which candidate who died encountered what danger. Now that I think about it, I may have rushed to complete the exam questions, so I walked around the village. On the one hand, they fear the punishment of death if they fail it, and on the other hand, they are full of hope for eternal life. But in the end they are inexperienced and eventually ...... incur this consequence.
At this time, Gao Ying looked at the gloomy-looking two-story house, and somehow, he always felt a little palpitating. He felt ...... If you do, you may encounter some kind of unimaginable calamity.
Get in...... Or don't you go in?
Gao Ying fell into a state of indecision.
In the end, he decided not to go in yet. Right now...... No one knows what will happen next. Three days...... There's still a chance.
He grabbed Ji Yixuan and walked in the direction of the arched bridge.
But just as he was about to walk to the front of the arch bridge, Gao Ying suddenly stopped.
He noticed that there seemed to be a figure standing in the woods on the opposite side of the arch bridge. However, due to the light, it may just be a tree or something. After all, it's dark now, and with the lack of light and nervousness, it's possible to see it wrong.
He stood in front of the arched bridge, motionless and looked at the black shadow, but after looking at it for a long time, he was not sure whether it was a figure or a tree because of the light and distance. He began to recall the multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions on the exam paper, but none of the questions could be matched with the black shadow in front of him.
"Let's go, Yixuan."
At such times, you can't take risks. Ji Yixuan couldn't see the black shadow either, so he retreated with Gao Ying. In the process of retreating, Gao Ying asked Ji Yixuan to pay attention not to step on stones and branches behind him, and his eyes were locked on the black shadow, not daring to make any sound. After a long time, it seemed that the clouds obscured the moon in the sky, and the opposite side became even darker, and nothing could be seen. However, at this time, Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan were even more frightened and began to retreat faster! They followed another path, through the trees.
I don't know how long they walked, but at this time they walked through a tree and came to a relatively low-lying house. The houses in the neighborhood are relatively low, and there are several rows of barren abandoned fields nearby. And here, there are still words such as "don't speak loudly" and "quiet, quiet" written everywhere.
Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan glanced at each other, and the two sides were still in shock. What exactly did they see just now?
He felt ...... That's probably not a tree......
That black shadow may chase at any time.
Speaking of which, unlike the last monthly exam, the image of ghosts is rarely mentioned in the multiple-choice questions of this exam. So even if a ghost appears, it's hard to tell which topic it belongs to. Up to now, Gao Ying is still confused about this exam.
Because the sky is darker now, Gao Ying walks more carefully, for fear of stepping on something and making a sound. Even because of this, I couldn't see the exam papers in my hand clearly. At this time, even if you want to do the question, you can't do it.
Darkness has become the deadliest part of this terrifying village. Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan both inevitably fell into great terror. The extremely scarce information given by the exam questions and this mysterious deserted village left them at a loss. Gao Ying deeply realized that this exam was much more difficult than the last time!
He clenched his hands and pressed the exam paper to his chest, trying to calm the panic in his heart as much as possible. However, the moonlight did not appear, and in the darkness he imagined the terrible black shadow on the other side of the arched bridge, which he did not know...... Will the shadow chase after you? At this time, he began to think of the headless female ghost who had been by his side all the time disguised as a candidate and almost killed him...... I always felt that in the dark, the ghostly ghost would appear at any time, and even if it did, Gao Ying was not sure that he could solve the problem in the right seat......
However, he then began to organize his thoughts again: Don't panic! Don't panic! This is no ordinary haunted deserted village, but an exam scene! The ghost doesn't just kill us, it doesn't kill us until the solution is sufficient, just like the headless female ghost, who can't kill me until she says she's driving a German car and the black cat prompts her feet...... Otherwise, with me at that time, she would have too many opportunities to do it. It's the same this time, the ghosts won't kill me when I'm at a loss, as long as ...... If I don't make a sound......
After sorting out his thoughts like this, Gao Ying finally recovered his mood temporarily. Yes, that's his biggest reliance, he has to hurry up to gather information and complete the exam......
Darkness spreads in the silent deserted village, and the prelude to the horror has just begun......
