The dark, damp prison corridors were as silent as ever.

Gao Ying sat against a wall, examining the exam papers in front of him. The light above his head was dim, and he had to rub his eyes every now and then.

His lips were dry, and his stomach made "grunting" sounds from time to time.

"I always feel like it's a miracle that I'm still alive."

At this time, Qin Yexun sat beside Gao Ying and said this sentence.

Gao Ying was very surprised that this Japanese teenager would take the initiative to talk to him.

Qin Yexun turned his head slightly, looked at Gao Ying, and said, "Are you thinking so now?" ”

Gao Ying's hand holding the exam paper trembled.

"I ...... The meaning of life and death is now considered differently than before. Gao Ying didn't know why, but what he answered was such a very unanswerable sentence.

Qin Ye nodded.

"People often use the words of praise for the dead, such words as death and life, heroic sacrifice, and immortality. But only I understand...... A dead man is a dead man. ”

Gao Ying looked at the prison corridor not far from here, where Herbert was watching the wind. Once the ghost appears, he is most likely to be the first to die.

"You should be able to see it clearly here, right? Gao Ying? Human life is like garbage being swept and harvested, and meaningful and meaningless deaths are just a bunch of proteins decomposed by microorganisms. ”

Gao Ying heard the word "protein" and felt nauseous and uncomfortable.

"But I didn't think much about it before, because people die. But...... When I saw those ridiculous words on the exam paper, I was moved. ”

He took a deep breath.

Gao Ying didn't quite understand why Qin Yexun said this during his break. He seemed to be really thinking about something, but Gao Ying felt quite puzzled. He...... It's not like that.

However, he also thought that there is not only one side of the world, there are often two different sides of reason and emotion, and what he saw before was not all of his face.

"Why did you say ...... to me?"

"I think...... You should be able to live. However, your eyes are still immature and innocent, and you don't see the cruelty of this world. ”

Gao Ying was silent, and then he nodded: "Maybe so." ”

……

"Xun Yi, this is your great-grandfather's treasure knife, he used this treasure knife to cut his abdomen and commit suicide, but he is a heroic spirit who protects this country!"

……

"The more you live, the more you can appreciate where the true cruelty of this world lies, Gao Ying."

Qin Yexun folded the exam paper in his hand and looked at another corridor. There, it was Geralt watching the wind, watching for any ghosts to come.

Just as he turned his head back, Gao Ying's eyes were still locked on Geralt.

The premonition of danger that stemmed from the Gerdzwaren family was again ...... at this time Born out!

However, he couldn't see anything wrong. It's business as usual. However, this hunch has never been missed.

Normally, people instinctively retreat from danger. But as a candidate, a crisis is just as an opportunity to complete the exam questions. Therefore, for the current Gao Ying, it is not easy to retreat. Escape? There is no safe place in this prison!

"Qin Ye Xun ......"

I don't know why, because of Qin Ye's words just now, Gao Ying felt a little close to him. In the face of life and death, human nature manifests helplessness, and they have no choice but to move forward.

He was right.

Gao Ying didn't see the cruelest and darkest side of this world.

"Listen to me...... Believe it or not, danger is quickly in place here. ”

Qin Yexun didn't react to this, and muttered, "Your words are really funny, Gao Ying." Security is a strange thing in this place, right? ”

Quiescence.

In the air, oppressive silence reigns supreme.

Curt Lee walked over.

"Isn't it time to get on the road? We've been in the same place for too long? ”

"No......" Qin Yexun said, "here...... It is more suitable to stay for a long time. ”

Gao Ying realized what Qin Ye Xun Yi meant.

"Is it because there are more forks in the road here, and there are more options for escape routes, so if you encounter danger here, do you have a better chance of completing the exam questions?"

"Not bad. You've seen it all, Gao Ying. Even if you are worried about your precious reward, don't be impatient, and then act, the 'danger' will escalate. ”

This Japanese candidate......

Gao Ying found that he really couldn't see through him. Full of confidence, but at the same time there is a hesitant side. He seems to be detached in the face of death, but in fact, his heart still longs for eternal life. These opposing traits contradict and yet unify in the same person.

At this time, his premonition of danger became stronger and stronger.

When and in what direction will the danger come?

(Grandmother...... Is your soul lingering here? Can you give me some inspiration? ）

Suddenly, he only felt a little wet behind him, which made him immediately startled, and when he looked back, he realized...... Blood gushed out from the cracks in the walls!

"Blood? It's ......"

A whole row of walls, a lot of blood spilled! And immediately after, there was a scream!

Gao Ying looked over, and the person who screamed was none other than Geralt, who was in charge of looking out for the wind!

From that blood, one pale and rotting hand after another stretched out! And after Geralt was grabbed by the hand gushing out of the blood spilling from the wall, his body was pulled into the wall!

And seeing the blood and hands, everyone's minds immediately remembered a multiple-choice question on the exam paper!

"What will be the maximum number of hands reaching out of blood?"

The four options are all two-digit numbers, and Gao Ying took a look at it and roughly counted the number of hands.

"Let's go...... Come on! “

Those hands, as long as they are not close to the wall, those hands are basically out of reach of the candidates. This is not surprising, after all, there are many questions, and it is impossible for each of them to have a high mortality rate, otherwise, it will not match the ratio of score and degree of danger.

After the group of people escaped, Gao Ying noticed that every time a new hand was extended to the wall, some hands retracted into the wall. This also means that there is indeed an upper limit to the hand that is stretched out at the same time. The expansion and contraction of the hand is very fast, and the average person is simply dazzled. If you stop and look closely, then I am afraid that you will pay with your life.

I don't know how long I ran, but there was no more blood oozing from the walls. When everyone stopped, Herbert and Tom, who were still alive, looked at Gao Ying, Curt Lee, and Qin Yexun with pale faces, and the latter hurriedly asked, "...... you guys Do you see it clearly? How many hands are there? I, I didn't even have time to count ......"

"Shut up!" Herbert stepped on Tom and glared at him, "What do you mean by asking such stupid questions?" ”

Now that the skeleton hasn't closed its eyes, can they ask such a question?

And Gao Ying already remembered it clearly, and wrote down the answer on the exam paper.

But at this moment, Gao Ying suddenly turned his head and looked into the depths of the prison corridor.

His eyes widened slowly...... Then, he muttered: "There......"

There...... What's there...... Seems to be in ......

Calling to him!
