Chapter 4: Gao Ying's Decision
Chengyeol High School is the name of this school.
Now, the college entrance examination is approaching, and on the blackboard in the classroom, the countdown to the college entrance examination reminds every student that they are about to face the most important exam in their lives.
Of course, for Gao Ying and them, they are facing a more important exam, a life-threatening exam.
Twenty candidates were scattered among five different classes in the third year of high school, with four students in each class.
At this time, it was already noon, and twenty candidates gathered in the school cafeteria to discuss what to do next.
Most of them have never seen a ghost until now, so many of the candidates who joined this time have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. There are even a few who are more excited, thinking that this exam is the same as an online game, and the final reward is actually to get immortal life. Even though Gao Ying has repeatedly stressed that this exam is very dangerous, it is difficult for a group of high school seniors to feel enough urgency to stay in an environment that is almost indistinguishable from the school they used to attend.
Of course, for this new group of candidates, there are ...... about the "Devil's Messenger", "The Cave", and the Hell and Abyss level exams Skeletons can cheat while their eyes are closed, and they won't be told yet. Gao Ying estimates that half of the fifteen new candidates in front of him can survive.
"I have one thing that I have to emphasize...... Cheating is absolutely forbidden, even if you are not careful, you must not see the answers on other people's exam papers. Do you understand? ”
"Hmm...... In other words......" said a boy with glasses, "if you cheat, the skeleton on the exam paper will ......"
"Kill you. You don't have to leave anything to chance, and of course, leaving the school during the exam period is the same result. Those who don't believe can try, but it must be at the cost of their own lives. ”
"The old school building thing...... We've inquired. The next person to speak was Ji Yixuan, "This is a teaching building located on the west side of the school, and that teaching building has been abandoned for more than ten years, but it is not clear why it was abandoned...... People at the school said they couldn't enter the building. ”
As a result, many people looked nervous, but a few candidates were very excited and felt that this was a very exciting adventure. It's like a routine in those horror online games, play dungeons and get rewards. However they ignore the fact that death in the game can be repeated, but here it ...... It's impossible. Once dead, it is impossible to be resurrected...... Only Gao Ying is an exception.
"During the exam, if you want to explore the school on your own, try to stay in groups of three and try to avoid moving around at night. Duration...... Avoid mirrors or any reflective objects as much as possible. Gao Ying began to explain some precautions, and regarding staying away from mirrors and reflective objects, she took the advice provided by Agnes, after all, her father was an Abyss-level candidate, and the information he could provide was naturally very valuable. In addition, Gao Ying did not say that Dong Scorpion and Agnes both have a certain degree of ability to perceive ghosts, and this ability needs to be used to the maximum extent for Gao Ying, after all, this ability will continue to lose its effect during the exam time as time goes by. Therefore, it is obviously inappropriate to give it to new candidates for free.
"It's weird......"
In the distance of the cafeteria, several other students were paying attention to Gao Ying and the others.
"Gao Ying, and Ji Yixuan, how can they be so familiar with people from other classes?"
"Hmm...... It's a little weird......"
Pan Qiaoqian and Jiao Xueying, as well as four other friends in the same class, Zhang Shuming, Fu En, Yan Yihua and Lin Qian, began to discuss the exploration of the old teaching building.
"Look...... That's Pan Qiaoqian! At this time, Dong Scorpion noticed Pan Qiaoqian's side, "Gao Ying, you told me that Pan Qiaoqian and Jiao Xueying were discussing going to the old teaching building, right?" ”
"Hmm......" Gao Ying nodded and said, "I don't know yet, whether I should let them go or not." ”
"Perhaps...... You shouldn't let them go, right? Dong Scorpion said: "Gao Ying, do you think, if they go, maybe there will be some serious consequences, isn't this the case in many horror movies?" Opened the taboo ......"
"Dong Scorpion...... Don't forget that we are candidates. If we can't solve the exam questions, we will definitely die when we go back, even if we are not in any danger during the exam. There is no doubt about that. Therefore, on the premise of avoiding danger, the first thing we should consider is how to solve the exam questions. “
"Yes...... Is that so? ”
Of course, Gao Ying is not unaware of this. Perhaps these people entering the old school building will be some kind of opportunity to trigger a curse. However, Gao Ying felt that if the curse was only inside the old school building, then they would have to go inside to find clues to the solution. This is dangerous for them, but if the curse spreads throughout the school, Gao Ying and they will have more opportunities to take the initiative. However, the consequences are also very terrible, and the ordinary students in the school also have the possibility of being implicated in the curse and dying. It's just that...... In the struggle of life and death, Gao Ying has clearly realized that it is impossible to survive blindly being benevolent in this exam. He watched with his own eyes as Wilvin brutally killed one candidate after another, and they were all abandoned by God......
It's easy to stand on the moral high ground, provided that ...... That is not against their own interests. Gao Ying has clearly realized this, and now, he must give the first priority to how to let himself live, how to let Ji Yixuan, Dong Scorpion and others also live, only in this way can a cohesive group of candidates be established. He is very aware that he can't survive on his own, and that candidates can share their experiences with each other and help each other at critical moments in addition to providing cheating convenience while the skeleton closes its eyes. Especially for special candidates like Dong Scorpion and Agnes. And after receiving the rewards, some of the rewards can even help other candidates (such as the teleportation reward of Qin Ye Xunyi).
"Are we going to explore the old school building together?" Ji Yixuan made another suggestion at this time: "In this way, we can obtain first-hand information......"
"No...... Let's wait and see what happens. ”
When Gao Ying said that when he was quietly watching the changes, he deliberately glanced at Ji Yixuan. And the latter immediately understood Gao Ying's intentions. Just like when he was in Sekaron Prison, Gao Ying hopes to use these students, who are not candidates, to explore the dangerous haunted places for them. As long as one person comes back alive, Gao Ying can get some clues from their mouth that can be used to solve the problem. As for whether to enter the school building, it can be judged according to the development of the situation in the future. Gao Ying's decisiveness and reflexes did make Ji Yixuan admire, but at the same time, he ...... Gao Ying gradually became a little cold-hearted. But this is also natural, Ji Yixuan clearly realizes how difficult it is to survive in this hellish exam scene. They don't have much room to sympathize with these people who live in parallel worlds.
As for Agnes, she had already seen Gao Ying's thoughts. In terms of ruthlessness, she is still far above Gao Ying, for her, she doesn't care about the life or death of anyone in this parallel world, even if all the students in this school die, she won't feel anything. Gao Ying has such a decisive ability to make this kind of decision in an instant, and she really deserves to be a person with the same blood of the Geerz Warren family as her.
At this time, a thunderbolt sounded outside, and suddenly, the chopsticks in Pan Qiaoqian's hand fell to the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Qian, who was sitting opposite her, smiled and said, "You don't look like such a timid person, Pan Qiaoqian." ”
"Yes...... Yes......" Pan Qiaoqian was also a little puzzled at this time, why she was suddenly so timid.
"So...... If it doesn't rain tonight, let's go into the old school building tonight. After all, we may all have something to do in the next few days, and before we graduate, let's go and see the true meaning of this campus legend. Jiao Xueying sneered and said, "I can't wait." ”
"No...... But ......" Yan Yihua, who was wearing a pair of thick bottle-bottom glasses, scratched his head timidly and said, "That...... Well, I mean, it's not really haunted, is it? Inside that school building? “
