Chapter VI The Village Chief
An oppressive silence enveloped the room.
At this time, everyone even held their breath as much as possible. Compared with the second-hand car parking garage last time, this deserted and silent deserted village with no one seems much more terrifying.
Obviously, there are still not many clues here...... No, what must be said...... That is, the people in the village are extremely afraid, and if they make too loud noises, it seems that something terrible will happen. However, from the analysis of the exam questions, even if there are a large number of objective questions, they still can't be seen...... What exactly are the consequences of making a noise?
At this time, Gao Ying remembered the tall boy who had escaped. He is probably dead now. Unfortunately, there is no way to get further clues to solve the problem through him.
Gao Ying pointed to the kitchen door and motioned for everyone to leave. Now, when it is not necessary, he tries not to speak. The others also understood what Gao Ying meant, so they crept away together. They were careful not to touch any pots and pans in the process. At this point, they almost lifted their feet and it took two seconds for them to fall, for fear that the sound would be too loud.
Gao Ying recalled every question on the exam paper again...... At present, there are only a few clues that can be provided by the exam questions, however, some questions may be able to find the secrets hidden in them.
"We ......"
At this time, Ji Yixuan began to lower his voice in Gao Ying's ear and said, "Let's look for the village chief's house." β
Chief?
Gao Ying remembered that the multiple-choice question did mention the village chief, and directly asked the village chief which house he died in. Specially written exam questions for the village chief, the village chief is likely to know something.
Looking for the village chief's house?
The village chief's house may be a slightly larger house in the village.
However, at this time, Gao Ying could see that Ji Yixuan's expression seemed to be a little twitching, he kept covering his hands, and it seemed that the swelling and pain were getting worse and worse. This made Gao Ying have a headache for a while, what should I do?
However, Gao Ying denied the plan to find the village chief's house. This is not the time, and if you look for a specific target, it will take too much time and add more variables.
Next, they roughly searched the nearby rooms, and the results were all about the same. Looking at it, it can only be concluded that the villagers collectively evaporated.
But...... Clues, it can't be said that there are no clues at all.
The first conclusion Gao Ying came to was...... Villagers didn't disappear en masse overnight.
From the current point of view, various slogans are everywhere in the village, which shows that loud voices become taboo is a gradual process. Initially people in the village began to discover the horrific consequences of loud noise, and began to poison all the dogs, the source of the village's loudest sound. Later, he even worshipped the Jade Emperor Sanqing to drive away evil spirits. It was a collective panic in the whole village, but in the end, the whole village still suffered a catastrophe. Gao Ying could fully imagine the strong fear and uneasiness of the villagers......
However, although the villagers did not all disappear overnight, the outbreak of this curse should have happened suddenly, otherwise it would not have been possible for anyone to dare to raise a dog before, and then poison the dog after the curse was generated. Did the ghosts suddenly start killing so long before the examinees entered? This is very unnatural. In Gao Ying's opinion, there is a secret behind it that triggers the curse.
Frankly speaking, this time Gao Ying felt more pressure than before. In the face of death, how many people can be calm? The last time he took the first monthly exam, Gao Ying thought that he could control the situation and turn the tide with this so-called entrance exam, but he found that his ideas were so naΓ―ve and ridiculous. In this kind of examination, human life is so low, and human beings are as weak as ants in front of ghosts. So this time, he was under even greater threat of death.
"High ...... Shadow...... Why don't we go back? β
Just as Gao Ying was about to continue exploring, Hou Mingbo began to retreat.
With his short stature, he couldn't speak in Gao Ying's ear like Ji Yixuan, so Gao Ying didn't hear it clearly. Later, Hou Mingbo repeated it again.
Gao Ying looked at Hou Mingbo's pale expression, and knew that he was getting more and more scared. He had seen the horror of ghosts in the exam scene, and there were so many people that there was no point in front of ghosts. Seeing so many candidates die with his own eyes, Hou Mingbo clearly realized that death only happened in a moment. Take the woman in blue ghost as an example, he was just lucky, although the person who died was Xu Yudan, it could also be himself.
Seeing Hou Mingbo's expression at this time, Gao Ying knew that it was meaningless to be reluctant. Now he can only think about whether he can live, and he can't control other people's affairs. Hou Mingbo should also know that if he leaves, he can't tell him what they find unless he waits until the skeleton closes his eyes.
Shen ...... Shen Junhao, you, how about you go back with me? I, I don't dare alone! β
Hou Mingbo also knew that it looked embarrassing to talk like this, but he was really scared. He even felt that it was better to be bold and run out of the classroom to find a way out, maybe he could find it?
Shen Junhao planned to continue to follow Gao Ying and the others, in case the skeleton closed his eyes, he could follow and copy an answer. But seeing Hou Mingbo's almost pleading look, his heart softened and said, "That...... Okay, it's not that far to go back anyway. That...... Gao Ying, I'll accompany him back first. You...... It doesn't matter if it's just the two of you? β
Gao Ying glanced at Ji Yixuan, and the latter's eyes did not waver. So, Gao Ying nodded. Then, Shen Junhao accompanied Hou Mingbo and slowly left together.
Seeing the two of them stay away, Ji Yixuan imagined what Hou Mingbo had experienced. It's just that Gao Ying seems to trust him quite a bit, and is willing to continue exploring with him, a new candidate.
However, he had a hunch that this exam would be difficult. And...... Maybe a lot of people will die.
Gao Ying patted him on the shoulder slightly, and then, the two of them chose a direction and began to move on.
And at this moment-
"Ahh
A terrible scream pierced the silence of the night sky!
This is obviously a woman's scream!
Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan turned around at the same time! They all recognized that the sound was coming from behind them, and the source of the sound should be some distance away, but in this silent village, the sound was too harsh!
Is that...... Screams from the candidates?
So...... What happens next?
However, Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan's first reaction was to leave this place in the opposite direction, the farther away the better!
They all started trotting as little as possible to make a sound.
Gao Ying is most worried about ...... Those candidates who are in a panic must not harm themselves by digging their own graves!
