Qin Yexun couldn't fall asleep.
He was holding a stack of newspaper clippings and looking at it carefully.
All the clippings are in Japanese, and the titles are all newspapers from country R from 1941 to 1945.
The strange thing is that the corners of the newspaper clippings are brand new, obviously just cut recently, and as a newspaper in 1945, it is too brand new, as if... just printed, and you can even smell the ink.
Qin Yexun silently stared at the newspaper clippings in front of her.
To ordinary people, what is the concept of war
People often only see wars from movies, where the protagonist can always be unscathed in the hail of bullets and easily defeat the enemy. In real war, however, there are no so-called heroes at all.
The only reason people sing about war is because they haven't lived through it. No matter, whether it is the so-called "good over evil" war.
In 1939, WWⅡ broke out, causing country Y to no longer be able to control the Southeast Asian colonies, and country R, which was dragged on the battlefield of country Z, expanded its southward ambitions. In December 1941, country R attacked Pearl Harbor, country M joined WWII, and country I, Reich's ally, was defeated. In 1945, Berlin fell, and Third Reich completely became history. In the Pacific Ocean, country R finally retreated steadily, and everyone knew the ending after that. And on the day of the end of the war, when the emperor read out the edict of surrender, the great-grandfather who planned to smash the jade with the whole country committed suicide by harakiri. The knife he used to cut seppuku is still in the most conspicuous place in his home.
However... Although from a historical point of view, the Nazis perished and the Allies won. However, for the countless victims who died in the war, the victory of the war has no meaning. This is even more so for the defeated country R. The anti-Nazi camp won WWII, but the victory of the war was only for the politicians, but too many people died on the battlefield. Moreover, the victory of WWII does not mean that the war will end. The nuclear weapons dropped on country R are also likely to land on other countries in the future.
He put away the clippings.
These clippings... hide secrets related to this exam. And he had already obtained very important clues from Dong Xie.
He recalled the time when he saw that examination paper, at that time, he thought it was just a ridiculous assumption.
"What does it mean?"
When Qin Yexun looked at the examination paper in front of him, he didn't understand why there was such a question at the end of a history examination paper.
Do you want to have eternal life? If you want eternal life, how much are you willing to pay
History has always been his best subject, but at this time... he is quite puzzled. Why... History class exams will test such content
Especially... On the title, there is an extremely weird, black skull. The skeletons look so lifelike that they seem real no matter what you look at.
He looked at the score of this question, and it was a full 20 points.
This question is obviously just a hypothesis. In this world, how could someone live forever? Obviously, this is unrealistic. How could he think as carefully as if this hypothesis could be true? How fragile human life is, in a war, a bullet the size of a peanut can destroy it.
Looking at the skeleton in front of him, the thought drove him to pick up the pen.
"If I could have eternal life..."
Qin Yexun held the pen in one hand, and then began to answer below.
After he wrote the answer, the skeleton on the test paper suddenly jumped at him as if it had come to life!
And then... Qin Yexunyi became an examinee.
…
…
…
A new day has arrived.
Qin Yexunyi was leaning against the wall, checking the exam paper in front of him.
The prisoners risked their lives to leave Block C again and finally found some food.
One day has passed, and one-third of the exam has passed. As for Gao Ying and Dong Xie, their lives and deaths were unknown.
Qin Yexunyi's examination paper also had too many blank spaces at this time.
"Gomi... Nick Family..."
He muttered the name in his mouth, and then slowly closed his eyes.
He wanted to relax his mind a little.
This time, he may not be rewarded. However, he still obtained information beyond expectations.
Behind the devil's exam lies an unimaginable truth.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that Curt Lee appeared in front of him.
"How are you thinking? Qin Yexunyi?"
Both Qin Yexunyi and Curt Li were specially recruited candidates. For them, the purpose of coming here is naturally to get the reward of resurrection after death.
"I don't have that plan yet."
"You really... don't go to Ward A?"
"Yes. I plan to explore other areas first and try to complete the exam."
"Gao Ying and the others..." Qin Yexun was still quite concerned about Gao Ying, who had saved him at a critical moment, "They don't know what will happen to them now."
Qin Yexun took this very lightly. In fact, ever since he came here, he knew very well that he might die here one day. As an island country with many disasters, the psychological endurance of the people of country R is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and therefore they have a special concept of death, which is why they are so keen on committing seppuku. Qin Ye's family is a military family, and this concept was completely instilled in Qin Ye Xunyi.
"It's not surprising to die at any time after taking this test."
Qin Yexunyi's image of being so calm about death also made Curt Lee a little puzzled: "Aren't you... afraid of death?"
"People are always mortal. The key is when and how to die."
Curt Lee admired Qin Yexunyi's indifferent attitude towards life and death. But immediately, he felt something was wrong.
"No..." He suddenly realized a contradictory question, "If you don't mind life and death, why would you choose to pursue eternal life?"
Qin Yexun folded the examination paper in his hand, and then replied in a cold tone: "I don't mind dying, but this does not prevent me from wanting to live forever. It's that simple."
eternal life…
When Qin Yexun saw this word on the test paper, his first reaction was absurd. How is it possible for human beings to obtain eternal life
The anti-Nazi camp won WWII, but he didn't feel that "winning" meant anything to him. The victory of the war benefits only the politicians, but too many people die on the battlefield. Moreover, the victory of WWII does not mean that the war will end here, and country M is the real winner of WWII. The nuclear weapons dropped on country R are also likely to land on other countries in the future.
Country R is a country with a high suicide rate. Suicide once became a serious social problem in Country R. People know that the island country they live in may have a catastrophe at any time. Earthquakes, tsunamis, when faced with these disasters, the people of R country always face them very quietly, as if they are so natural. Therefore, they are calm in the face of death. Death is a very familiar neighbor to them.
Qin Yexunyi couldn't remember why he wrote "he doesn't reject immortality" on the examination paper. He obviously couldn't feel that he had any desire to live forever and never die. This is really, really boring.
Actually he couldn't answer Curt Lee's question.
His father, who was an officer in the Self-Defense Forces, participated in earthquake relief during the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in the 1990s. At that time, the young Qin Ye knew that this country must be full of disasters. Born in such an island country, each of them must be prepared to die tomorrow. He has been... used to this kind of life.
but…
Is it really
