Gao Ying felt like his whole body was frozen. He had imagined various scenarios, but the sudden disappearance of a living person still made him feel horrified!
However, Gao Ying's mind quickly made the most reasonable reaction at this time! That is Sun Tzu's Thirty-Six Strategies in the Art of War, taking the best approach!
So, a group of people walked through the narrow alley and rushed outside. As they ran, they looked back, fearing that a ghost would rush out and kill them.
At this time, even those who had the last doubt in their hearts about the existence of ghosts in this examination scene completely gave up their luck. After hearing the screams, they immediately scanned their surroundings, but... they did not see even a single figure! Here,
There really is a ghost!
After running in the deserted village for a long time, everyone was afraid of making any noise and ran as fast as possible, so it was not enough to catch their breath.
At this time, Gao Ying could clearly see the dissatisfaction and resentment looked at him by everyone. He only remembered that it was Gao Ying who brought them here, but completely forgot... that they took the initiative to follow them. To them
, a living person who was standing next to them just now, disappeared and died so silently, this is really terrifying. At this time, everyone was panicked to the extreme. If it weren't for the existence of the taboo, just
I'm afraid there might be a riot.
However, although Gao Ying's prestige in their hearts has been greatly weakened, he is still a candidate who has passed the monthly exam, and his wisdom and experience are there. Due to the threat to their lives brought by ghosts, they do not dare to interact with them.
Gao Ying fell out. After all, they had to rely on them alone to complete the exam, and they really lacked confidence.
Lovecraft, the author of the Cthulhu Mythos, once said that the most primitive fear of human beings comes from the unknown. For the current Gao Ying, this sentence is very applicable. It is precisely because of the unknown that it brings about the greatest danger.
Strong fear. Gao Ying finally realized that the last test was really "simple". At least the test paper gave a lot of information and intelligence. Candidates only need to look for the corresponding vehicle based on the intelligence to find many clues. But this time,
The information given in the exam paper is extremely limited, and almost none of it touches on the biggest issue in this exam...the source of the sound taboo.
"Did anyone...see how he disappeared?"
Gao Ying finally raised this question without giving up, but he was doomed to be disappointed. Everyone looked at each other, unable to answer. There were so many people, but no one discovered how the boy disappeared?
The missing boy's name was Lei Yu. He was relatively taciturn, so most people didn't say much to him. Regarding his death, everyone was more saddened by the death of a rabbit than a fox.
"Then..." Gao Ying looked at the candidates in front of him one by one, and continued to ask without giving up: "Who was the last person to see Lei Yu? What was he doing before he screamed?"
At this time, a boy spoke.
He was a young man wearing glasses and with a gentle and graceful face. After recalling with a frightened expression, he said: "I remember him... He was standing next to the wall, and then he took the folded examination paper in his hand and read it.
…”
"He's reading the exam papers?"
"Well...it should be."
"Besides reading the test paper...is there anything unusual? Did he write anything?"
"I...I didn't see him writing the test paper, really, I didn't see it!"
"Speak softer!"
"Yes Yes……"
(Could he be killed because he answered the question...wrongly? It's possible...but, in that case, did he find any corresponding test question? Did he find the boy in red?)
You can be sure... Since he screamed, it means that he already felt that he was dead. After death, who cares about the flood?
But, at this moment, Lan Xinzhu's face suddenly turned pale!
"me……"
Gao Ying thought she had thought of something key, so he quickly walked up to Lan Xinzhu and asked, "What's wrong? What did you think of?"
Lan Xinzhu touched his pocket in panic and said: "Me, my exam paper! I folded it and put it in my pocket before, but... now the exam paper is gone! Could it be... that it fell in the alleyway just now?"
As soon as these words came out, many people looked at Lan Xinzhu with sympathy.
"Then go back and look for it quickly!" Gao Ying glanced at the direction of the alley and said, "You might still have time to retrieve the test papers if you go now!"
"I...I dare not..." Lan Xinzhu looked at the many candidates in front of him and begged in a low voice: "Please...who will take me to look for him together? I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life!"
Lan Xinzhu's appearance is also pretty, and it can be said that she has a bit of beauty, but at this time, even if a peerless beauty is begging here, it is impossible for everyone to take the risk. In this situation... whoever is stupid is looking for death.
This is not the way to find it. In this exam scene, everyone is a dead Taoist friend and not a poor Taoist. Who told you to confiscate the exam papers?
Lan Xinzhu also knew that the test papers were exclusive to each person, and the names were all pre-written, so it was impossible to change them. If she couldn't find the test papers, Lan Xinzhu would definitely be dead. But she went back to the alley alone to search.
She didn't have the courage. Finally, she looked at Gao Ying with the last glimmer of hope, but even Gao Ying said he was helpless. It was really impossible for him to risk his life for a new candidate he had just met.
Just when Lan Xinzhu was heartbroken and could only bite the bullet and risk his life to go back and look for the test papers, a man walked out.
"I'll go with you!"
This person is clearly Ji Yixuan!
Gao Ying was very surprised by Ji Yixuan's volunteering. He did not expect that Ji Yixuan could still be so warm-hearted after the horrific experience just now. However, he hoped that Ji Yixuan could survive, and his talents would definitely help him in the future, but still
Before he could speak, Ji Yixuan had already waved his hand, indicating to Gao Ying that there was no need to persuade him any further.
Lan Xinzhu actually knew rationally that it was normal for others to reject her. She was just begging others for help, but she didn't expect that there was actually someone willing to help her! She was immediately grateful to Ji Yixuan and kept bowing to him to thank him.
.
"Okay... don't waste time, let's go."
He stepped forward to help Lan Xinzhu for only one reason. She reminded Ji Yixuan of his sister Yixin. Of course he knew it was dangerous, but he really couldn't bear to watch a girl of the same age as Yixin go on adventures alone. He has always lived a very happy life.
Loneliness, and the only thing that illuminates his gloomy life is one heart.
