The examiner was very good at stirring up the atmosphere. He prolonged his tone and deliberately made us nervous for a long time. After a full three-second pause, he spoke slowly.
“What is the tenth decimal place of pi?!”
After listening to the question, I was stunned for only half a second, and then said without thinking: "5!"
Hearing this, the examiner looked at me with a strange expression and asked: "The reaction is so fast, could it be that you have memorized pi?"
"I have memorized it. I used to have a memory competition with my sister. I once memorized it to more than 100 decimal places..." I said with a slight smile.
Ye Yuyou and I actually did this. Although I have almost forgotten it now, I still remember the first twenty.
"Yes, whether it's due to luck or strength, I have to say..." The examiner grinned and said, "Congratulations, your answer is correct!"
"Candidate Ye Yan earns one more point, for a total of two points!"
"Thank you, examiner!" A touch of joy appeared on my face and I said respectfully,
"This... this is unfair!" Liu Chang was no longer afraid of the examiner's appearance, but asked unwillingly: "Pi is obviously not something we learned in high school, how can we use it to ask questions?"
"I told you in advance that the next question is related to mathematics. Did I ever say it is related to high school mathematics? Doesn't pi count as mathematics?" The examiner said with an unhappy expression: "In the final analysis, it is still a matter of ability.
Otherwise, how can anyone figure out the answer to the problem?"
Liu Chang's face turned pale and blue at the examiner's words, but he did not dare to refute the examiner's opinion and could only nod reluctantly.
"Classmate Liu Chang, pi is only knowledge in elementary school. Strictly speaking, this question is easy. Do you think that even elementary school questions are difficult in your eyes?" I did not forget to seize this opportunity to sneer at Liu Chang.
My words were another critical blow, making Liu Chang's face as ugly as if he had been bitten by a mouse. Just as he was about to say something, the examiner said: "Currently, candidate Ye Yan gets two points, candidate Liu Chang gets one point, and the rest
All candidates received zero marks, and I hope other candidates can continue their efforts."
"It's time for the fourth question. This question has nothing to do with mathematics. I can only remind you here..."
"The following is the fifth question..."
"Please listen to question six..."
Next, the examiner asked the remaining questions in an indifferent tone. The content of the questions can be said to be diverse and strange. The questions involved mathematics, literature, history, sports, games, and even science and even metaphysics. In short, I was thorough.
It completely opened my eyes.
"The host of Wilderness Survival is..."
"Bear Grylls!"
Because of my mission, I have collected a lot of survival knowledge, so naturally I know the real name of the famous survival program, Wilderness Survival host Bei Ye.
"In the game King of Glory, the duration of the red and blue buffs is..."
"Seventy seconds!"
A student who is proficient in the game answered excitedly.
"The name of the ninth palace of the Ten Palaces of Hell is..."
"King of Wheels?" A student who had scored zero points so far rarely encountered a question that no one else knew the answer to. He immediately answered impatiently. However, his tone seemed a little uncertain...
"Wrong, it's the King of Equality. Student Chen Haodong deducted one point. Currently, he is minus one point... I hope other students can take this as a warning and don't answer uncertain answers..."
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty questions passed... In the process, some people were happy and some were worried. Some questions were answered, and some questions no one could answer until the time limit. As the number of questions increased, some questions were answered.
One thing is clear...
That means the questions are becoming more and more difficult.
"The next question is question 23... What is absolute zero in degrees Celsius?"
"Below zero degrees Celsius..." replied a boy wearing glasses.
"correct answer!"
"Question 26: The year the dodo became extinct was..."
"..." No one answered this question.
As time went by, finally, it came to the last question...
At this time, Liu Chang and I were both tied for first place with a high score of five points. I have to say that this guy is quite knowledgeable. I can't help but admire him at all.
However, although we were both number one, Liu Chang got five points ahead of me. In other words, if I didn’t answer the last question correctly, I would definitely miss the number one spot.
"Haha, Ye Yan, it seems I'm going to beat you this time." Liu Chang said with a smile.
The last few questions are extremely difficult and no one can answer them. The last question must be even more difficult. Liu Chang doesn't think I can answer it.
"How will you know until the end?" I shrugged.
"Humph, you still have illusions. You really overestimate your capabilities." Liu Chang said sarcastically.
"Please listen to the last question..." the examiner said slowly.
Hearing this, we all held our breath and looked at the examiner without blinking (after such a long period of adaptation, everyone has become somewhat immune to the examiner's scary face).
"The ideal experiment related to the quantum theory advocated by continental physicists is to lock a certain animal in a box with a cyanide gas bottle to put it in a superposition state of life and death. This is the quantum theory advocated by quantum mechanics.
Overlay status..."
The examiner spoke very fast. Even though his voice was unpleasant and he spoke very fast, his enunciation was extremely clear and we could completely hear what he said.
"Excuse me, what is the name of the animal used in this ideal experiment..."
This is the thirtieth question. In fact, after the examiner finished speaking, more than half of the candidates fell into a state of confusion. They did not even understand the question. Even Liu Chang looked confused.
Only the boy in third place wearing glasses seemed to have a look of thinking on his face, but he looked like he couldn't recall it.
Just as everyone was frowning, I broke the silence and said: "Schrödinger's cat."
"..." Examiner: "Congratulations, the answer is correct!! Candidate Ye Yan gets one point!"
Hearing this, a joyful expression suddenly appeared on my face, while Liu Chang's face suddenly turned ugly. But he was okay, he just lost the first place, and at this time, the faces of the three failing candidates with the lowest scores
It was already as pale as a piece of white paper.
"This exam is over. Next, rewards and punishments will be based on the ranking of the exam results... The top three candidates will receive the rewards they deserve. The two who pass the exam can leave the school safely, and the bottom three candidates will be punished.
Punishment of obliteration!”
"No!"
Hearing this, a look of horror suddenly appeared on the faces of the three failed candidates. They had already anticipated the outcome they were about to face. At that moment, they jumped out of their seats with fear on their faces and planned to escape from here.
"Want to run?" The ghost teachers next to them were especially able to do what they wanted. Seeing them running away, they immediately stopped them all.
"Those who failed will die!" the examiner said in a serious tone. As he said this, the three ghost teachers sneered and took action at the same time to kill the three failed candidates.
"ah!!!"
Even though it was a projection, the shrill screams still made people's scalp numb. The five of us who passed the examination had pale faces as we watched the inhuman killings carried out by the three ghost teachers in the projection.
One female teacher took out the heart of the examinee next to her, threw it on the ground and crushed it to pieces... Another female teacher used a chair to beat the examinee's head crazily until it turned into a puddle of mud.
....The only male teacher directly broke the neck of the examinee next to him and twisted his neck into a twist...
In short, these three students who originally just wanted to go to school to try their luck in finding weapons died in extremely tragic ways in various branches.
This horrific scene was all staged in front of our eyes. Even though it was just a projection, several of us turned pale through the projection, and some students even vomited directly. After all, this scene was indeed too bloody and tragic.
After the three candidates were completely dead, the projections where the three candidates were located slowly dissipated.
"This is what happens to useless trash." The examiner said expressionlessly: "The two candidates who passed are barely qualified to survive, but that's it. The two invigilators can send them away."
"Okay, Mr. Examiner." The ghost teacher next to the two passing students said, and then the two projections disappeared in front of our eyes.
At this time, the only people still in the classroom were the top three in this exam, namely me, Liu Chang, and a boy wearing glasses. From the examiner's mouth, I learned that his name was Wang Shubo, and he ranked third.
When the horrified-looking examiner looked at the three of us, a smile appeared on his ugly and ferocious face.
"Next, it's time to award awards to the top three..."
