At twelve o'clock in the night, hundreds of sabber-armed armor rode into the 'A' examination room on war horses, the regular army of the southeastern state, each of them not only wearing swords, but also carrying muskets.

This is the flintlock pistol, and after the bomb was developed, the flintlock pistol came into being.

Every piece of armor is majestic and murderous. A hundred war horses were scattered in all corners of the examination room, silent.

After a while, the bell suddenly rang, and someone borrowed an electric horn and began to shout:

"The festival begins. Candidates stand in silent mourning for their ancestors, pray for the Empire, and pray for themselves! ”

The sound was repeated three times and spread throughout the entire A examination room.

In the rows of small houses like prisons, all the candidates stood up nervously, and they became nervous in this solemn speech.

The guards began to search the examination room from room to room, making sure that every candidate stood up for the ceremony.

After arriving at Li Zhen's room, he saw that Li Zhen was still lying on the ground unconscious. Then some armor went in and called, but they could not wake up. Immediately, a military armor arrived with two buckets of cold water.

"Splash!"

A loud shout.

Two buckets of cold water were poured on Li Zhen, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

'Ahh

A cold son, Li Zhen was awakened on the spot. I only feel that I have a splitting headache, and the whole person is groggy, and I look at two people.

I felt chills all over my body, and I couldn't help but shiver.

"I ...... Where am I? ”

Li Zhen looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, as well as the guards with knives around him, and his whole body was naked, and he was shocked, could it be that he was caught by Yanziji's horse thief?

But I heard the guards shouting: "Candidate 0916. Stand up immediately, mourn, pray, and pray for blessings!" ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he was shocked, the examination room? How did you get to the exam room?

I can't think about it too much, and when I think about it too much, I just feel a splitting headache. He has a high fever and is now very uncomfortable.

The official locked the door of the examination room and left. Li Zhen stood there shivering, his hands clasped in front of his chest, cold to the bone.

Under the high fever, the body was already cold, and two buckets of cold water were splashed, which is not a sin.

Although Li Zhen didn't know how he came here, and he didn't know when it was, he had heard the rules of this examination room a long time ago.

Worshipping the heavens is the most solemn ceremony before the exam......

"Yes, I suddenly remembered that I had to enter the exam room the night before."

Li Zhen suddenly reacted, and the precautions for the exam were written. But I experienced the catastrophe of life and death today, and I forgot about it. I stayed in the examination room at this time and suddenly remembered this stubble, but I wondered, who sent me here?

At this time, there was the sound of candidates talking outside, and Li Zhen also walked to the door and stuck his head out to look. In a row of exam rooms, all the candidates stuck their heads out of the crack in the door and were all watching.

Some candidates discussed across the house:

"I heard that every year in the college entrance examination, many people die in the examination room all over the country."

"Yes, I heard that this exam room is haunted."

"I'm really scared, I'm staying alone in this house, I'm flustered, how can I still have the heart to do the question."

"I won't be able to sleep when the ceremony is over."

“……”

Li Zhen was also a little flustered when he heard these words, haunted? I've heard of it myself, but to be honest, I've never seen any ghosts and gods.

At this time, the examiner's voice came again from the electric loudspeaker: "Candidates are silent. ”

There was no silence, everyone still stuck their heads out to look, and just stopped talking.

A moment later, suddenly a team of fast horses galloped around the examination room. At the head was a general dressed in ornate armor, riding a white horse and holding a large red banner in his hand. Running all the way and waving flags all the way.

Behind him were eighteen warriors on black horses, each with a sword in his right hand and a lantern in his left.

Lantern. Something that has long been obsolete.

After the invention of direct current a hundred years ago, a variety of lighting tools were born, and flashlights were one of them. At this time, everyone was carrying lanterns, which was indescribably weird.

Li Zhen was stunned and watched the pair of soldiers running around the examination room a few times, and the general suddenly shook the red flag violently and shouted:

"Call, the gods of heaven and earth in Southeast Prefecture, worship the heavens and the earth and worship the ancestors, look at the gods of heaven and earth to protect the success of the college entrance examination in Southeast Prefecture, look at the gods of heaven and earth to protect the talents of the Kyushu Empire to select the pillars of talent, and look at the gods of heaven and earth to protect the order ......of the examination room."

After the general finished shouting, the eighteen soldiers behind him shouted again in unison. And then left.

The candidates kept sighing, and Li Zhen was also very emotional, and couldn't help but feel that it was very grand in his heart.

'Driving'

At this time, another team of armor rode around the examination room.

At the head was another general, still riding a white warhorse, still followed by eighteen soldiers on black horses.

The difference is that the general has a blue flag in his hand.

'Huhuhu'

With the continuous shaking of the flag, he ran around the examination room for six laps, and then stopped, standing on the high platform and shaking the blue flag wildly.

Shaking for a while, he burst into the silence and shouted:

"Call, the ancestors, six relatives, brothers and friends of the candidates have died. I hope to cheer up all candidates and protect them to have a bright future. ”

“……”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the examination room, and many candidates were in an uproar. Still beckoning ghosts?

Li Zhen was also subconsciously creepy, and I had heard that during the exam, the examination room was going to recruit ghosts, but I only thought it was a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true.

After saying that, the second team of armor also retreated.

After a while, I saw the third team of military armor running around the entire examination room, and many candidates trembled in the sound of iron horses. The atmosphere in the examination room instantly became heavy and eerie.

The general of the third team actually held a black flag in his hand. The black flag is painted with all kinds of weird symbols, and it looks like it makes people's scalp tingle.

The third team stopped, and the general waved the black flag wildly and roared:

"Recruit, the souls who have grudges and grudges with the candidates, the ghosts and snakes of all walks of life. If one of the candidates has committed a sin, the souls of all walks of life will be ...... There is revenge, there is revenge. Life and death are life, wealth is in the sky! ”

Eighteen soldiers repeated: "There is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, life and death, wealth and prosperity are in the sky!" ”

Hiss –

The third team retreated, and the entire examination room was filled with the sound of inhaling cold air.

Li Zhen's face was pale, and his whole body was drenched in cold sweat. Looking at the other candidates who poked their heads out, they were all full of horror on their faces. Everyone was looking around in fear.

That's how the sacrifice to heaven is made?

First sacrifice to the gods of heaven and earth, and then invite the ancestors of each family, and then invite the souls of the enemies of each family? This...... It's so creepy.

Li Zhen trembled and retracted his head, looking around in his small room, which looked a little gloomy in the dim light.

In the afternoon, he killed one person with his own hands, Qi was stunned to kill six, and buried six dead people with his own hands...... At this time, he suddenly summoned ghosts, so that the dead souls had revenge and revenge.

Li Zhen's hairs stood up, looking at the quiet environment around him, he always felt extremely gloomy, as if the whole room was already full of things he couldn't see......

Li Zhen had a splitting headache at this time, the high fever continued to go away, and he wanted to sleep. But in this environment, he found that he could no longer sleep.

As soon as I lay on the wooden bed, I felt as if there was someone under the bed.

When I turned over and fell asleep, I felt like there was someone behind me.

Sleeping on my stomach, I felt as if there was someone on the roof.

After the three teams of military horses retreated, they felt as if the examination room was full of invisible people, and it seemed that they could see the teachers who died in Yanziji with their faces covered in blood, and it seemed that they could see the horse thief who was smashed in the head by himself. It's old and lively.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a terrible scream rang out.

Li Zhen's hair stood on end, and he hurriedly ran to the door and stuck his head out, and at this time, almost all the candidates also stretched out their heads, looking around with frightened faces.

"Who? Who's screaming? ”

"Really...... Is there really a ghost to take revenge? ”

"Oh my god, why is it so scary to take a test!"

“……”

But seeing the sound of horses' hooves, out of the darkness rushed out a warrior riding a war horse in full armor, holding a flintlock pistol in one hand and a war knife in the other: "Who is making a noise! ”

In the examination room of 'A0942' in the corner, a candidate was heard crying bitterly:

"I don't take the test, I don't take the test. I feel like there's a ghost, so I'm not going to take the test. Send me back, I'm going home......"

The horse stopped again, and the heavily armed warrior retreated into the dark corner without saying a word.

The examinee seemed to have collapsed, and frantically banged his head against the iron door, and then stretched out his bloody head and cried:

"Can I not take the test? I'm leaving, I'm going back. I feel like there's a ghost, I feel like there's someone in my exam room who is always looking at me behind my back. ”

"Help, there really are ghosts."

"Would you like to talk to me? I'm afraid, whoever talks to me, don't squeak. ”

The candidate had already collapsed, and everyone poked out their heads and looked at him silently, not daring to be answered.

The candidate began to break down and roar again: "Warrior, can you stand at the door of my examination room?" You stand at my door, and I am afraid. 、”

"Won't I be able to pass the exam?"

“……”

After a while, an invigilator came over with a blue face: "0942, are you sure you don't take the test?" ”

"If you don't take the test, I won't take the test. I don't want to be here anymore. ”

"Open the door and let him go."

Immediately, a guard opened the iron door, and involuntarily escorted the tearful examinee away and drove him out of the examination room. Immediately, someone came over again, and two seals were attached to the door of the examination room.

It is said that it is a ghost recruitment, but in fact, it is also a criterion for the state to test the mental quality of candidates. Scholars are not afraid of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and they are just upright. If you can't overcome your fears yourself, then it means that your heart for a bright future is not so strong. If the psychological quality is too poor, how will you serve the empire in the future?

The candidates sighed, becoming more and more panicked.

Li Zhen swallowed his saliva, returned to bed naked, and sighed in his heart that there was not even a quilt here. It's cold.

The fever has not subsided, and it is torture to be bare in the middle of the night.

After a while, another candidate broke down and cried: "I'm not taking the test!" ”

Li Zhen didn't go out to see, just lying on the bed and self-hypnotizing and constantly chanting: "There are no ghosts in the world, there are no ghosts in the world......"

In the second half of the night, the examinee next door kicked the wall with his foot, and Li Zhen only heard the sound of knocking, and the examinee shouted next door: "0916. Can you talk to me for a while?" ”

"0916, I'm afraid. You talk to me, it's so quiet. ”

"0916, I seem to see two headless people dangling around me, as if they have passed through the wall to yours."

“0916？”

“……”

Li Zhen trembled, his face turned pale at this time, and his mouth also gushed with a weak white. He couldn't care about being scared at this moment, he just felt uncomfortable to death.

His eyes seemed to see the world spinning, his whole body was paralyzed, and cold sweat flowed out layer after layer.

The high fever is already extremely serious.

In this drowsiness, he still rolled his eyes and fell asleep......
