Ye Yu's eyes widened, and his heart suddenly beat wildly, and after the initial shock, he reacted violently and rushed into the crowd like crazy.

"Alas...... Where are you going? Machuz didn't expect Ye Yu to suddenly make such a move, and hurriedly chased after him.

"I'm sorry, let's give it a moment" Ye Yu didn't care about the strange eyes of others, desperately pushed away the crowd, and rushed in the direction where the figure disappeared.

Is that him? Where is it...... Where the hell did it go?

The figure flickered by, and disappeared in an instant. Ye Yu was anxious in his heart, and kept chasing the familiar figure around the crowd.

"What's wrong with you?" Machuz ran over and looked at Ye Yu with a nervous expression, completely confused about the situation.

"I seem to see a person...... A former companion. Ye Yu replied briefly, his eyes still searching around.

"What kind of people? I'll help you find it? Machuz raised his head and followed Ye Yu's line of sight.

"A man, thin and small, with a baby-faced ......" Halfway through his words, Ye Yu suddenly paused, his eyes focused on the thin back in the corner not far away.

The noisy sounds around instantly quieted down, and Ye Yu stared at the back, only hearing his own heartbeat intensifying. Machuz on the side seemed to be talking about something, but Ye Yu didn't have the heart to listen, and at this moment, all his attention was focused on the person in the corner.

Ye Yu walked towards the other party step by step, and the back figure seemed to be aware of it, and moved slightly. Ye Yu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly ran over, stretched out his hand and put it on the man's shoulder.

"Zhang Jia......"

The figure turned his head and looked at Ye Yu. Snow-white skin, short ear-length hair, and an expressionless baby face...... However, this face does not belong to the person Ye Yu cares about in his heart.

"Who are you?" A soft, slightly indifferent female voice came from the man's mouth, a vigilant glint in her big dark eyes.

Woman...... Female?

Ye Yu was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something, and quickly withdrew the hand on the other party's shoulder.

"I'm sorry for me...... Recognize the wrong person. Ye Yu looked at the strange woman in front of him, his face full of embarrassment.

Although at first glance, this woman's figure and appearance are somewhat similar to Xiaohua, but if you look closely, there are still differences, even the hairstyle is different, it seems that she is indeed tired and dizzy, and she has made such a shameful mistake.

Ye Yu was annoyed in his heart, and kept apologizing.

The woman stared at Ye Yu indifferently for two seconds, then looked away and turned away without saying a word.

Machuz chased after Ye Yu, and when he saw this situation, he also understood seven or eight points.

"I just wanted to remind you that you may have recognized the wrong person...... Who knew that you would run away before you finished speaking. ”

"You know her?"

"I don't know her, but I know her." Machuz explained softly. "Remember when I mentioned to you that there was another person in this exam who was specially nominated by the sub-chief, just like you? Well, that is. As he spoke, Machuz nodded at the woman's distant back.

She ...... What is the origin? Ye Yu retracted his gaze and asked Machuz.

"Haha, her background is not small, she is the niece of Ming Shili, the director of the Southern District Bureau of the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau. Although there is not much information about her, since she was personally recommended by Director Ming, and she can pass the examination of the director of the bureau to be shortlisted, she must have a different ability, right? ”

Ming Shili ...... Is it? It looks like a flower......

Ye Yu shook his head, putting his distracting thoughts behind for the time being, the various events that came one after another today made his head a little dizzy, and now he desperately hoped that there would be a sleep to bring his thoughts back to normal.

Fortunately, the rest he was looking forward to soon came. Ye Yu just entered the single rest room arranged by the official arrangement, and lay down on the bed, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Three hours later, just as the clock hands were about to point to five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Yu and Machuz reappeared in the underground hall.

After sleeping and supplementing with food, Ye Yu's spirit was obviously much better, according to the previous official instructions, they came here on time, and the other candidates had also arrived one after another.

Ye Yu looked left and right for a moment, but didn't see Shen Xiao, but quickly found Yang Yunyi sitting alone not far away in a daze. After resting, Yang Yunyi returned to the well-dressed appearance when they first met, but there seemed to be a slight gloom between his eyebrows and eyes, and he lost some of his previous brilliance.

"Hey, Yang Yunyi, here and here......" Machuz waved his hand and greeted Yang Yunyi as if no one was around.

Yang Yun came back to his senses, looked up, and saw Ye Yu and the others walking towards him. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say hello, but after noticing the gazes of everyone around him, he still didn't say half a word after all, but only nodded slightly, and then quickly stood up, avoiding the sight of Ye Yu and Machuz.

"Hey, this kid...... It seems that he still has scruples. Machuz looked at the direction Yang Yunyi left and said helplessly.

"He's afraid that if we get too close to him, we'll be ostracized......" Ye Yu sighed. Actually, it doesn't have to be like this, I don't care what others think of me, and I won't deliberately alienate him because of what others say. ”

"You should say this to his face." Machuz smiled.

“…… If you say it in front of him, with his awkward personality, I'm afraid it will be even more overwhelming, right? Ye Yu shook his head and moved his gaze to another lonely figure in the corner.

Ming Shili ......

From the outside, she appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a simple blue sweatshirt and trousers, and looked like a student. I don't know if it's because of the babyface, it always makes people feel a little childish, but her eyes are as calm as water, and she always has an unchanged indifferent expression on her face, as if everything around her is none of her business.

Ye Yu quietly observed the thin woman who was standing outside the crowd and watched coldly, and the other party seemed to notice something, and turned his head to look at Ye Yu.

Ye Yu was startled and hurriedly looked away, but when he looked over again, he found that Ming Shili had disappeared.

"Jingle Bell ......"

As the chime sounded in the hall, a group of people in black uniforms stepped into the podium in the center of the hall, and everyone immediately fell silent and looked up at them.

"Now that everyone has arrived, we are about to enter the next level of the exam, and I am Xia Yan, the invigilator of this exam." A thin black man at the head looked down at everyone, his voice was not high, but it was full of intimidation. "First of all, I will announce the rules for this exam."

Everyone's expressions suddenly became serious and began to listen.

"The second level of the exam is a written test, and we will mainly assess the relevant theoretical knowledge. As the elite of each department, you should have also reviewed the syllabus in the department, so there must be no problem, right? The Xia examiner glanced at the audience, and the candidates did not panic at all, as if they had expected this, except for one person, Ye Yu.

...... the theory test? What to test? Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry??

Ye Yu was suddenly a little stunned, Lou Yue hadn't mentioned this stubble before...... Don't talk about preparing yourself, I haven't even seen the shadow of the syllabus

"There are a total of 500 questions in the written test, with a total score of 100 points, and the exam time is 60 minutes." Examiner Xia continued to explain. "Points will be increased or deducted depending on your performance. 10 points for 90 points and above, 5 points for 80 to 89 points, no addition or subtraction for 60 to 79 points, and below 60 points...... 20 points will be deducted. ”

Hearing this, Ye Yu's heart suddenly cooled by half. Although I have experienced countless exams since I was a child, is it harder to pass than to win the lottery to complete 500 questions that I have no concept or preview at all in 1 hour?

However, before Ye Yu had time to heartache the 20 points that he was about to lose, the next words of the Xia examiner gave Ye Yu another blow.

"In addition, the results of the theory test are not only about the points, but also the starting point for the third test."

Everyone looked at each other, as if they didn't quite understand what the examiner meant. Examiner Xia looked at everyone's blank expressions, smiled meaninglessly, and opened his mouth again.

"In this exam, the second and third levels will be performed consecutively. After completing the second level of the exam, you will be ranked according to your scores, from highest to lowest, and enter the third level of the exam at certain intervals. The summer examiner paused. Don't underestimate these time differences, as your third level will most likely depend on a matter of seconds. ”

As the examiner Xia spoke, he stretched out his hand and waved it casually to his side, and a brief three-dimensional image suddenly appeared on the stage, and this image showed the "bird's egg" type building where everyone was currently located.

"As you can see, this building has nineteen floors, and you're on the second basement floor of the building." The summer examiner pointed to a red dot at the bottom of the picture. "After the theory test, you will also start the third level from this level, and this third level will be about reaching the top of the building in twenty-four hours. There, there will be a plane docked to the next exam room; As soon as the time comes, the plane will take off immediately, and all candidates who do not have time to catch up will be automatically eliminated. The summer examiner said as he moved his hand to a position at the top of the picture.

"Don't think that a whole day is a lot of time, I would like to remind you that there will be various obstacles waiting for you in the process of climbing the stairs, and it can be said that unlocking these mechanisms and the time it takes can be said to be a race against time." The examiner lowered his arm and looked at the serious looks of the people in the audience.

"Only candidates who score more than 90 points in the theory test can enter the examination room of the third test on time, and candidates in the rest of the score brackets can only enter after an interval of one hour. In other words, the worse you are, the less time you have for the third exam, which is why I said earlier that the results of the theory test are the starting line for your next exam. ”

The scene was quiet, the candidates had different expressions, and a tense atmosphere enveloped everyone.

"It's almost time." The summer examiner put away the three-dimensional image and glanced at his watch.

"Let's get started, and good luck to you."
