However, the sky was very gloomy, and not much rays of the sun reached this deserted village. And even during the day, no birdsong came from the mountains, as if all living things were dead.
Ji Yixuan slowly tore open the bacon in front of him, then put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. He leaned against the wall and looked out the window. Everything was calm, at least for the time being. The pen was always in his hand.
, be prepared to answer questions at any time.
Frankly speaking, after such a long time, the village has been completely silent, and the nervousness of the candidates has gradually begun to relax. However, despite this, the current candidates do not dare to walk around the village at will.
Ji Yixuan glanced at his arm. The herbs Gao Ying applied to him had indeed reduced the swelling, and the pain was no longer so painful. After stretching his arm, he swallowed another mouthful of bacon and felt basically full.
Frankly speaking, the taste of this marinated meat is not very good, but right now, it is not the time to care about it.
A few hours ago, Gao Ying made the decision to go out and explore during the day. Most of the candidates also wanted to go with Gao Ying. Gao Ying actually didn't want too many people to move, but if he went against the wishes of the majority of people,
, they might follow forcibly. Therefore, Gao Ying had no choice but to accept. However, he repeatedly emphasized the principle of prohibiting cheating. Everyone should act together and never copy test papers. Of course, only Hou Mingbo and Shen Junhao knew that the skeleton was closed.
It's possible to cheat when you're watching. They were following Gao Ying, waiting to copy the test papers.
Ji Yixuan remembered the question about the source of the scream. After counting the number of people, it was determined that the missing girl was a girl. Her name had not been told to anyone else. According to witnesses, she had no sense of existence at the time, and there was only one named Lan Xinzhu.
The girl noticed her. She was following the team, but she disappeared at some point. Maybe she left the big team alone, maybe she planned to complete the content of the test paper, but in the end something unexpected happened. With this
Having learned from the past, no one dared to act alone anymore. They were fully aware of the horror inside this deserted village.
Gao Ying asked Lan Xinzhu in detail about the girl. Lan Xinzhu's answer was that she didn't remember the girl's appearance very much. She could only say that she had a more popular face. The only reason she noticed her was that she was related to
At the back of the group, she walked very slowly, as if she was deliberately keeping a distance from the rest of the group. Then, no one saw her again.
"I want to visit the place where she last appeared."
At this time, Gao Ying came to Ji Yixuan, also sitting in front of the window, and said the above words in a voice that only they could hear.
Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan are both smart people, so of course Ji Yixuan knows who "she" Gao Ying is talking about.
"Have you decided?" Ji Yixuan was not too surprised by Gao Ying's decision. Moreover, after he made this decision, he was the first to talk to himself, a new candidate, which also showed Gao Ying's trust in Ji Yixuan.
He could sense that Gao Ying's words were announcing a decision, not asking for his opinion.
"Yeah." Gao Ying nodded.
Ji Yixuan pursed his lips, and subconsciously licked the salt left on the bacon with his tongue, quickly realizing what Gao Ying was thinking. Sure enough... he was a fully aware person.
He and Gao Ying looked at each other for several seconds. From Gao Ying's eyes, Ji Yixuan did not see any wavering. Obviously, Gao Ying knew the risks that would come with this, but he still made this decision.
Gao Ying has clearly realized that it is unrealistic to survive safely. This exam forces candidates to risk their lives in order to complete this exam paper. There is no other way. Praying to copy other people's exam papers? Gao Ying does not have such unreality.
Practical thoughts. He now has a clear understanding of...the damn exam rules, and he feels even more strongly the insignificance of human life.
Ji Yixuan almost didn't hesitate for long before he answered: "Okay, I'll go with you."
To be honest, Ji Yixuan and Gao Ying are actually not the same kind of people. Compared with Gao Ying, who grew up in the illusion of love, Ji Yixuan experienced too much vileness in the adult world when he was young. He was scolded as a wild man.
As a child, his birth itself was not blessed and he came into this world with original sin. Including his mother, he regarded himself more as a link with his father to obtain money and status.
He thought about committing suicide. Because he couldn't feel the meaning of life, why were other children born with the blessing of their parents, but he was born with a curse? Everyone knows the saying "children are innocent", but
In the real world, there is no equal life at all. What made him give up his suicidal thoughts was when he saw Yixin. There was something shining in Yixin that he once desperately longed for. For Yixin,
It is said that there is no life in this world that is more dazzling than Yi Xin, so that in front of her, Yixuan can humble himself into the dust.
In fact...even if he doesn't get eternal life, it doesn't matter. As long as he can always stay by his side, he will no longer pray to God. Even if he is cursed by all living beings, he still loves this sister deeply. So.
... He must live to see Isshin again, even if he is burdened with huge terror for this, he must live and see his sister's smile again.
Next, Gao Ying repeated this decision to Hou Mingbo and Shen Junhao. After much thought, the two decided to follow Gao Ying. Of course, the main purpose was to find opportunities to copy Gao Ying's test papers. After all, no one wanted to
Know when the skeleton will close its eyes.
More than ten minutes later, most of the candidates gathered here. But when Gao Ying proposed to explore the place where the girl disappeared, most people hesitated. As a result, less than half of the people were willing to follow Gao Ying and the others. A total of
Six people, and only one of the six was a girl, Lan Xinzhu, who last saw the missing girl.
So, a group of ten people set off.
The six people who acted with Gao Ying and others all said that they would completely obey Gao Ying's command. And Gao Ying once again emphasized that cheating is absolutely prohibited. And they all nodded one after another, as to whether they really listened in their hearts.
, Gao Ying couldn’t be sure either.
"Senior Gao," one of the boys with pimples on his face and disheveled hair timidly walked up to Gao Ying and asked in a low voice: "Have you ever seen a ghost... What does that ghost look like? And horror movies.
Is it the same inside?"
Gao Ying knew that he must not lower the morale of the team now, so he replied: "Ghosts are just dead people. I'm afraid they are useless. Once you complete the answers to the test paper, they won't be able to do anything to you."
Yes, ghosts are dead people...but this is a terrifying world where dead people abuse living people at will...
