When she returned home, her "mother" who had learned the news in advance allowed her to leave the house tomorrow.
Fu Anan is not interested in going out. She now wants to know what will happen next in high school.
There were no electronic devices in the house.
The books are also textbooks from the past.
There was no source of information in the small space. She lay on the shabby little bed, listening to the creaking sound of the fan that had been used for many years.
Then, screams were heard outside the house again.
"ah!"
"I can do it. I can still take the exam! Please don't kill me!"
"Help, help me!"
Fu Anan listened to the continuous crying above. After a dull sound of heavy objects falling, someone was dragging something in the corridor. Were the people who were killed players? Were the murderers their family members in the game
She wanted to know more about the situation outside.
Finally, the next day, she got permission and opened the door.
This is an old residential area.
The lighting is poor, and even in the daytime, she still needs overhead lights for lighting. Her door is covered with various lock-opening advertisements, almost blocking the door.
The "mother" threw her a key, told her coldly that she must come back before six o'clock in the evening, and then slammed the door.
Fu Anan glanced at the second-hand watch on her hand. It was nine o'clock in the morning and she had plenty of time to explore.
##
The corridor had just been swept and the floor was still wet.
But every door is filled with shoes, cabinets or garbage, which makes the corridor, which is not wide to begin with, even narrower. The walls are covered with various drawings, which are obviously children's graffiti, and the cowhide advertisements everywhere make this slightly gloomy little building seem full of life.
There are several families living around the corridor.
The swaying lights above their heads illuminated the large red couplets on their door, which looked a little strange. The sound of a person's footsteps in the corridor gave people the illusion that someone was following her.
Fu Anan stopped and looked back suddenly.
There was no one there, only her. However, a cold breeze blew from somewhere in the closed corridor. It was not strong, but it blew away the white paper that fell in the middle of the corridor.
I feel a chill in my neck.
Fu Anan looked at the end of the corridor, where there was a staircase.
The light there seemed to be broken, making other places even dimmer. The small light flickered and made a crackling sound when the current short-circuited, which could only be said to be a natural effect.
It's such a strange environment, and everything seems to be telling you to come and explore it quickly.
Okay, that's it, bye!
If you know there is a tiger in the mountain, don't go there.
After only a few minutes of being out, Fu Anan found her home key. Except for the three relatives whose heads looked like mosaics, it was not as scary as outside.
As a person, you should be able to bend and stretch, and not be blindly reckless.
Fu Anan comforted herself in this way. The moment she opened the door, someone not far from her also opened the door and came out.
The man popped his head out and the two looked at each other.
"Hey!"
"… Hey?"
Fu Anan greeted him, her finger already on the key. If there was anything wrong with the other party, she would immediately unlock the door and run back.
The man waved at her and said, "I'm Gao Qi, sitting diagonally in front of you. Sister, are you a player?"
Fu Anan originally thought he was a classmate NPC when he introduced himself, but she didn't expect this to happen. "You too?"
"certainly!"
The player finally let go of his worries and breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought I would run into a deadly NPC when I opened the door, but it turned out to be someone from the same industry! I was scared to death."
"Are you here to look for clues too?"
Fu Anan was not as exaggerated as him and asked calmly.
"What clues are we looking for? Isn't it based on the trajectory of life?"
He replied, "You got A2 like me, right? All you have to do is pass the college entrance exam and you can live another four years. This game is really a scam. It almost made me think I really had to live from my teens to my thirties."
He was talking and Fu Anan was listening.
Just as he started to complain, a few more rooms opened and the people coming out of them all looked familiar—they were his former classmates from school, or players.
The man who called himself Gao Qi stopped talking for a moment. A group of people outside the corridor looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.
Until a young man who looked mature said, "Don't pretend, everyone who has come out now should be players, introduce yourself to each other. This round of the game is very strange, if we can cooperate and help each other, we will try to make it back in this round of the game."
I'll go first.
My name is Zhang Tianci, I am 48 years old, and I was a small manager before the survival game. On the first day of the game, I chose a regular high school, and my score for this exam was B1. Please follow my format when introducing yourself. "
There was a moment of silence after he finished speaking.
Seeing this, Fu Anan felt that exchanging information would be useful, so he said, "My name is Fu Anan, I'm 51 years old, and before the survival game I was... a retired teacher. On the first day of the game I chose an ordinary middle school, and my test score this time was A2."
"I know you! Fourth place!"
Gao Qi continued, "No wonder you are so good. You got a higher score than me. You are a teacher. I didn't expect that a grandma who is several decades old and returned to her junior high school days would be so cute."
Hearing this, Fu Anan smiled lovingly at him, "My dear grandson, you're next."
"My name is Gao Qi, I'm 18 years old, and I was a candidate for the college entrance examination before the survival game. On the first day of the game, I chose a regular high school, and my test score was A2..."
Next it was the turn for the other people to be introduced. Except for Fu Anan and Gao Qi, the rest were all B1 or B2.
The game said there were 15 players in total, but there were only 9 players standing here, and the rest had not shown up. Considering the noise coming from the corridor before, it was obvious that these six were in great danger.
There is indeed a pattern in their self-introductions.
Those who survived were players who chose ordinary high schools and passed B2 or above.
"That is to say, this round of the game may be an exam-type game."
Gao Qi concluded, “So our next step is to enter high school, and then actually get into college to survive!”
“But there is no time to study!”
One player said, "It's already a great achievement for me to get to B2. I only need a few days to take the college entrance exam. If I could do this, I would have received fewer beatings from my mother when I was young.
Is this game discriminating against people based on their educational background?!"
The poor student player shouted unconvincedly, "Education is not the only way to prove ability. I graduated from junior high school and became a big boss."
This update is a little late, good night everyone~
