Devil’s Examination

Chapter 46: place of silence

Views:

Although Gao Ying had already made sufficient mental preparations for this monthly exam, she thought that it was the second monthly exam after all, and perhaps there would not be subjective questions. But... I didn't expect that not only subjective questions appeared, but also the scores were not low.

This made Gao Ying quite puzzled, and then he thought of a possibility...

Could it be... Is it because I got 100 points in the first exam

Obviously, although the first monthly exam was simple, it was only as simple as passing the exam. It is obviously not easy to get 100 points in the test. If the second monthly exam is based on the overall evaluation of the highest score to determine the difficulty of the second monthly exam, or the average score of the candidates who survived...

Gao Ying gradually began to feel the great pressure... So, it doesn't matter if you do too well in the exam? On the contrary, it will lead to an increase in difficulty? However, he immediately thought that if he could get a high score in a difficult exam, he might be able to get a higher reward. Now, I can't tell the blessings and misfortunes.

Inside the house, there is dust and cobwebs everywhere, and it must have been unoccupied for quite a long time. A cabinet with the door half open, there are two compartments inside, the upper compartment is some worn out clothes that are full of patches, and the lower compartment is some old canvas shoes.

Originally Hou Mingbo wanted to open the other door of the closet, but was stopped by Gao Ying: "This closet is so old, opening the closet door may make a louder sound."

When Hou Mingbo heard these words, he also admired Gao Ying's thoughtfulness. Immediately afterwards, he continued: "Listen... these cloth shoes inside, put them on as much as possible. Next, pay attention when walking, and don't kick stones or the like. These patched clothes are also put on to prevent the Too cool to sneeze."

Gao Ying has carefully considered every detail. However, he has no idea what the limit of "loudness" is. Although he has lowered his voice to the point where it is almost close to the ear, he is still not at ease. In any case, it's better to do it as well as possible.

Ji Yixuan also admired Gao Ying's meticulous thinking, and he didn't expect to change shoes. So, everyone began to add clothes and shoes next.

In this room, it is obvious that there are no more clues to be found. So, all you can do now is to search nearby.

But even so, everyone is still very nervous. After all, they don't know anything about the situation in the village, and they can only have a half-knowledge based on the information given by the exam questions. So, no one can guess what will happen next. Only Gao Ying believes that the devil will not easily start killing without giving them the key information that can solve the problem. Three days, a long time, should be due to the increase in the number of questions, so they will be given a period of time to take the time needed to solve the problem. Because of this, Gao Ying boldly infers that as long as he doesn't make too much noise, maybe it won't be too dangerous for the time being.

Of course, he did not say this inference. Under the current circumstances, it is better for them to maintain a high degree of vigilance.

After walking out of the house, Gao Ying looked around and chose a relatively flat road. Walking this way, there shouldn't be too many problems. He must stay awake at all times and must not make mistakes.

Ji Yixuan looked at Gao Ying, and he realized more and more that Gao Ying's way of arranging the candidates to disperse was very wise. A large number of people does not necessarily mean high efficiency. After all, those new candidates cannot adapt to this kind of exam. If there are so many people acting in groups, they may make too much noise, and the consequences will be disastrous. Spread them out to avoid risks to the greatest extent.

However, Ji Yixuan only thought of the first floor. Gao Ying had another thought. However, the idea is darker. Ever since Xu Yudan died in front of her, Gao Ying has deeply realized that he has no ability to protect others, so at present, he can only consider self-help, and at most help the familiar companions around him. The deeper purpose of his dispersing them is that he wants to distinguish which voices are beyond the limit. Once a candidate breaks the limit and dies, he can avoid being affected by the dispersal, and he can also learn about it by asking others afterwards. Then there is one more reference.

It sounds cruel, but in this extreme environment, Gao Ying's outlook on life and death has been too strongly impacted, life has become extremely fragile, and death follows him everywhere. Under the strong oppression of this fear, he has completely given up being a moralist. As a perfect person, survival is the first priority in everything, and whether he can survive is the first priority. Unless he is a comrade-in-arms who treats each other wholeheartedly and stands shoulder to shoulder to death, it is impossible for him to put the value of other people's lives above his own. After all, this is not an exam, but a war, a war... It is impossible not to die.

He actually wanted to find an answer. Is life really precious? What is the meaning of those ruthless and cruelly deprived lives? This kind of death is of no value, and even the corpse may not be left behind. In the end, only a very small number of people may be able to obtain eternal life. So for those who survived, such as Gao Ying himself, wouldn't the value of life be higher? Is he more deserving of eternal life? However, no one can answer this question for him... He can only find the answer by himself.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from the front, and then, Gao Ying was shocked to see that the door of the house behind him was about to be slammed shut by the wind...!

This made Gao Ying horrified, he was about to rush to block the door, but at this time Ji Yixuan had already rushed up! Because he couldn't make a sound, he couldn't walk too fast. When he came to the door, the door was almost closed. He quickly stretched out his hand to block the door... Afterwards, his hand was firmly clamped by the door!

He actually gritted his teeth to hold back, only made a weak moan, but didn't cry out! This scene, Gao Ying felt pain just looking at it, but he was able to bear it!

This gust of wind also caused cold sweat to break out on Gao Ying's back. This happened less than half an hour after the exam started! Then, he glared fiercely at Shen Junhao who was the last one to go out, because he didn't close the door, which led to this situation!

Gently closing the door, Gao Ying looked at Ji Yixuan's red and swollen hands. But now the conditions are poor, there are no medical facilities, and there is no way to apply ice to reduce swelling.

"It's okay..." Ji Yixuan endured the severe pain and said in a low voice, "This injury... I can bear it..."

Gao Ying looked at Ji Yixuan with admiration. Hope he... survives.

This village... At this moment, it is still extremely silent...
