The moment Hou Mingbo made his voice, it was destined... that he would not survive.
Gao Ying looked at this scene, and although he couldn't bear it in his heart, compared with when Xu Yudan died, he has gradually been able to accept the death of people around him in front of him.
He muttered "I'm sorry" silently and began to retreat slowly. Even Ji Yixuan, who had an old-fashioned and warm-hearted personality, chose to retreat when he knew that he could not save Hou Mingbo. In the end, Hou Mingbo's face became paler and his neck continued to be roped.
The loop was tightened tightly, and then the loop began to be pulled up continuously. Hou Mingbo was already short, and as the loop continued to tighten and be pulled up, his pants suddenly became wet.
He doesn't want to die, he really doesn't want to die! But unfortunately, in this world, tragedy and death never stop because of people's wishes. This is especially true in this bloody and cruel examination. Human life
, here they are nothing more than simple consumables.
At this time, Hou Mingbo's neck turned red, and the pain caused by suffocation made him involuntarily start foaming at the mouth. At this time, he suddenly heard some strange sounds in his ears.
That sound... is very strange...
At this time, Hou Mingbo's legs were still waving crazily in the sky, and his consciousness gradually faded. In front of his blurred vision, he vaguely saw... some weird shadows.
(Dad... my son is unfilial... I can no longer be filial to you...)
After a long time...
In the hut, calm was restored.
In front of the door, there is still a rope loop hanging, and the chair is still placed on the ground.
Everything...is no different from just now.
At this time, Gao Ying, Ji Yixuan, and Shen Junhao were already more than 300 meters away from the hut.
Gao Ying stopped at this time and looked back at the hut.
(Hou Mingbo...is he dead?)
At this time, both Ji Yixuan and Shen Junhao looked very ugly. Human life is so fragile, but even if they understand this, it can't compare to the huge impact of seeing life passing away in front of them.
(why why?)
Neither Gao Ying nor Hou Mingbo made a sound! No, or should I say, there was no loud sound! Why...why did that rope loop hang Hou Mingbo?
"One... one pavilion..."
Gao Ying looked at Ji Yixuan, who was pale and still trembling, and asked, "What did you want to tell me before?"
Ji Yixuan's eyes were fixed on the hut. After a long time, he uttered a sentence with difficulty: "I was not sure whether it was a rope loop before, but it seems that the rope loop is drooping and getting longer..."
Drooping... has become longer?
"It's my fault..." Ji Yixuan blamed himself at this time: "I asked Hou Mingbo to pay attention to the back. If he looked to the front, he might have time to react..."
Seeing Ji Yixuan who was full of self-blame, Gao Ying thought of himself who had caused Xu Yudan's death due to a mistake in judgment.
"It's not your fault." Gao Ying shook his head, grabbed Ji Yixuan's shoulders, stared at him, and said: "Here, death is everywhere, you are not the savior, you can't save everyone."
Although Gao Ying regretted it for a moment, it was his first time to take such a terrifying exam. Now, after experiencing so many lives and deaths, he has become accustomed to accepting the passing of life around him. This also makes him more
He strongly realized how difficult it is to live. When life was being harvested like grass and mustard, he had become numb to death. He had gradually lost the ability to realize the seemingly natural truth that "all life is precious".
reason.
Ji Yixuan's biggest weakness is that he is too compassionate. Otherwise, he would not have helped Lan Hsinchu, a stranger. However, this is also Ji Yixuan's biggest weakness. If he does not get rid of this problem, in this kind of situation
In the exam, he will die sooner or later. They say that life is equal, but Gao Ying knows very well that life is by no means equal. At least in Gao Ying's eyes, except for his own, the lives of all candidates are not as important as Ji Yixuan. Even now,
He knew that Hou Mingbo should be dead by now, and he had been with him for a month, but now in Gao Ying's heart, he was more grateful that he had survived, but there was not much condolences for Hou Mingbo's death.
"I...I know..." Ji Yixuan is also a smart person. He knows this very well. However, the psychological shadow of being an illegitimate child makes his feelings about life very different from others. He always subconsciously hopes to rely on
Help and rescue others to realize self-worth.
"Here, you have to accept the fact that death is a very common thing. All we can do is to survive as much as possible."
Gao Ying emphasized the word "survive", but this word did not do much to dispel Ji Yixuan's inner shadow.
(Why am I the one who survives? Ever since I was young, countless people have said that I am a bastard and will suffer retribution. If there is retribution, then why is it someone like me who survives? Yixin,
It would be nice if you were here, I want to get the answer from you.)
However, when Ji Yixuan saw that he had saved Gao Ying again, he felt a strong sense of comfort in his heart.
Gao Ying then took a deep breath, then turned his back and took out the examination paper. At this time, he happened to find that the skeleton on the examination paper had closed his eyes!
He stared at the skeleton with its eyes closed, and immediately said at the fastest speed: "Choose AB for the hanging question! The skeleton has its eyes closed now, so it can cheat!"
Ji Yixuan was so frightened when he heard this sentence that he thought Gao Ying was crazy. However, he was shocked when he heard the saying that the skeleton's eyes were closed. He quickly opened the examination paper and sure enough, he saw that the skeleton's eyes were closed. Then a few more seconds passed.
Seconds later, the skeleton's eyes opened again!
Of course Gao Ying knew that there were risks in doing so, but... Ji Yixuan saved him twice, and with this man's huge potential, Gao Ying risked his life to reveal the answers to the test questions, which also gave Shen Junhao an advantage!
The reason is very simple. This is a multiple-choice question. Although multiple-choice questions result in more options than single-choice questions and increase the difficulty, there is also a clue, that is, "there will be at least two options", unlike indefinite-choice questions.
The question has options ranging from one to four. Hou Mingbo’s death proves that the hanged ghost is obviously still in the house. Coupled with his previous prediction of height, Gao Ying is already very confident that the hanged villager is a woman.
So one plus and one subtraction, when CD is excluded, AB is naturally the answer.
Ji Yixuan never thought that there would be such an operation as cheating? However, when he found that the time for the skeleton to close its eyes was very short, he realized that this was a deliberate attempt to induce the examinee to cheat, to make the examinee commit a foul and then punish him.
A means of killing. And the scary thing is that if the cheating is completed before the skeleton opens its eyes, then the cheating can be successful. This kind of extremely risky but tempting gamble makes it impossible for the candidates not to be tempted by it.
Ji Yixuan suddenly felt shuddering. What kind of terrible curse is this terrifying exam? How did this curse come about, and why does it give humans the temptation of eternal life? How many people in this world can resist the desire for eternal immortality?
?However, the so-called eternal life is still a disparity in odds in this exam. It can be said that the odds are not much higher than winning the lottery.
After he filled in the two letters, he breathed a sigh of relief. Now... he finally survived. However, Hou Mingbo had already lost his life!
After filling in the answers, at the end, there is only one question.
Why did Hou Mingbo die?
Why kill them when no sound is made?
Is it because they were talking at that time? But the volume was not loud. It was the same volume before! What's more, the person who died was Hou Mingbo. He didn't speak at the time. This kind of situation that affected Chi Yu had never happened before. What's more, Ji Yixuan remembered,
Yuan Ping once wrote that when a friend of his named Hei Zai died, he was by his side and was not affected by it. The same was true for him. When Lan Hsinchu died, nothing happened to him.
Why?
Why did Hou Mingbo die?
Could it be that in this exam, besides sound, there are other taboos that trigger the curse?
