The dark and damp prison corridor was as silent as ever.
Gao Ying sat against a wall, examining the examination paper in front of him. The light above his head was really dim, and he had to rub his eyes from time to time.
His lips were dry, and his stomach made a "cuckling" sound from time to time.
"I always feel that it is a miracle that I am still alive."
At this time, Qin Yexun sat next to Gao Ying and said these words.
Gao Ying was very surprised that this Japanese boy would take the initiative to talk to him.
Qin Yexun turned his head slightly, looked at Gao Ying, and said, "Is that what you think now?"
Gao Ying's hand holding the examination paper trembled.
"I... now think about the meaning of life and death differently than before." Gao Ying didn't know why, but what he answered was such a sentence that didn't answer the question.
Qin Ye nodded.
"People often use praise words such as death and life, heroic sacrifice, and immortality to the dead. But only I understand...a dead person is a dead person."
Gao Ying looked at the prison corridor not far from here, where Herbert was watching the wind. Once the devil appears, he is most likely to be the first to die.
"You should be able to see clearly here, right? Gao Ying? Human life is swept up and harvested like garbage. Meaningful deaths and meaningless deaths are just a pile of protein decomposed by microorganisms."
When Gao Ying heard the word "protein", she felt sick.
"But I didn't think about it too much before, because everyone is mortal. But... when I saw the ridiculous words on the test paper, my heart was moved."
He took a deep breath.
Gao Ying didn't quite understand why Qin Yexunyi said this to him during the break. He seemed to be really thinking about something, but Gao Ying found it quite puzzling. He... is not like this kind of person.
However, he also thought that people in the world don't have only one side, they often have two different sides, rational and emotional. What he saw before was not his whole face.
"Why did you tell me..."
"I think... you should be able to survive. However, your eyes are still immature and innocent, and you don't see the cruelty of this world."
Gao Ying was silent, and he nodded immediately: "Maybe so."
…
"Xunyi, this is your great-grandfather's treasured sword. He used this treasured sword to commit seppuku and committed suicide. He was the hero who protected this country!"
…
"The longer you live, the more you will realize where the real cruelty of this world lies, Gao Ying."
As soon as Qin Yexun folded the examination paper in his hand, he looked at another corridor. There, it was Jello who was on the lookout, watching for any demons coming.
Just as he turned his head back, Gao Ying still locked his eyes on Jie Luo.
The premonition of danger originating from the Gerzwaren family, at this time... emerged again!
However, he couldn't see anything wrong. The scene in front of me is as usual. However, this premonition has never been missed.
Under normal circumstances, people will instinctively avoid danger in the face of danger. But as a test taker, a crisis is also an opportunity to complete the exam questions. Therefore, for the current Gao Ying, he cannot retreat easily. escape? There is no safe zone in this prison!
"Qin Ye Xunyi..."
For some reason, because of what Qin Ye said just now, Gao Ying felt a little close to him. In the face of life and death, human nature shows helplessness, and they have no choice but to move forward.
He was right.
Gao Ying did not see the cruelest and darkest side of the world.
"Listen to me... Believe it or not, there is danger here soon."
Qin Yexun didn't respond to this, and murmured: "Your words are really funny, Gao Ying. In this place, safety is an incredible thing, right?"
silence.
In the air, oppressive silence dominated everything.
Curt Lee came over.
"Shouldn't it be time to move on? Have we stayed in the same place for too long?"
"No..." Qin Yexunyi said, "Here... is more suitable for staying for a long time."
Gao Ying realized what Qin Yexunyi meant.
"Is it because there are many side roads here, and there are many options for escape routes, so if you encounter danger here, you have a better chance of winning the exam?"
"That's right. You really see through this point, Gao Ying. Even if you're worried about your precious reward, don't be impatient. If you act at this time, the 'danger' will escalate instead."
This Japanese candidate...
Gao Ying found that she really couldn't see through him. Full of confidence, but at the same time also has a hesitant side. Facing death, he seems detached, but in fact he still longs for eternal life in his heart. These opposite qualities appear contradictory yet unified in the same individual.
But at this time, his premonition of the danger became more and more intense.
When and from what direction will the danger come
(Grandmother... you who turned into a devil, are you wandering here? Can you give me some enlightenment?)
All of a sudden, he only felt some wetness on his back, which made him startled immediately, and when he looked back, he realized... There was blood gurgling out from the gap in the wall!
"Blood? This is..."
A whole row of walls, a lot of blood spilled! And then, there was a scream!
Gao Ying looked over, and the person who screamed was Jie Luo, who was in charge of the lookout!
From the blood, pale and rotten hands stretched out one after another! And after Jie Luo was grabbed by the hand gushing out of the blood spilling from the wall, his body was pulled into the wall!
And seeing the blood and hands, everyone immediately thought of a multiple-choice question on the exam paper!
"There will be at most () hands stretched out from the blood?"
The four options are all two-digit numbers, and after a quick look, Gao Ying roughly counted the number of those hands.
"Go... go!"
Those hands, as long as they are not close to the wall, those hands basically cannot touch the candidates. This is not surprising, after all, there are many questions, and it is impossible for each one to have a high mortality rate, otherwise, the ratio between the score and the degree of risk will not match.
After a group of people fled here, Gao Ying discovered that whenever the wall stretched out new hands, some hands retracted into the wall again. This also means that there is indeed an upper limit to the hands that can be stretched out at the same time. The extension and contraction of the hand is very fast, and most people are dazzled at all. If you stop and look carefully, you will probably pay the price of your life.
I don't know how long I ran, but the blood no longer oozes from the wall. When everyone stopped, Herbert and Tom, who were still alive, looked at Gao Ying, Curt Lee and Qin Yexun with pale faces, and the latter asked quickly: "You... see clearly? How many hands do I have? , I don't even have time to count..."
"Shut up!" Herbert stepped on Tom's foot and gave him a look. "What do you mean by asking such a stupid question?"
Now that the skeletons have not closed their eyes, can they ask such questions
Gao Ying, on the other hand, remembered everything clearly, and wrote down the answer on the exam paper.
But at this moment, Gao Ying suddenly turned his head and looked into the depths of the prison corridor.
He slowly opened his eyes wide... Then, he murmured: "There..."
there... something... seems to be...
Calling him!
The current plot is very brain-intensive, so I can only control the rhythm and write slowly, and put quality as the first priority in everything
