Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan had completely lost their way.
After all, the two of them are just high school students, and they haven't even stepped into the ivory tower of university. Especially Ji Yixuan has just entered this terrifying exam scene. It is not easy for him to adapt to this level. It is too difficult to confirm the direction in this situation.
Gao Ying forced herself to calm down, and walked cautiously with Ji Yixuan in the dark. At the same time, he subconsciously looked around through his fingers, and decided that no matter what he saw, he would never make any sound. However, nothing could be seen between the fingers, and the surroundings were just black shadows made up of houses of varying heights.
Gao Ying clearly knew what kind of place this was, but he still searched for clues nearby before dawn, because he was afraid of long nights and dreams. After all, I don't know what time it is, I can only know the passage of time through the countdown on the test paper. In this case, he had no idea how long it would be until dawn.
The problem now is... he doesn't even know how to go back... he doesn't even have the guts to go back! Right now, his mind is full of the looming black shadow on the other side of the arch bridge.
At this time, Gao Ying looked back again, but even through his fingers, he still couldn't see anything. In other words, there is actually something, but it is covered by darkness.
He slowly turned his head back, and then he and Ji Yixuan continued to move forward... Yes, it may not be meaningful to move forward, but... They didn't dare to stop, and they didn't know if there was a death-threatening devil behind them.
As he moved forward step by step, the sky became darker and darker, and the moonlight was covered so that there was no light at all. This also made Gao Ying walk more cautiously...
"Ji Yixuan..." Gao Ying swallowed a mouthful of saliva, grabbed Ji Yixuan, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "First...don't leave..."
Ji Yixuan is also like a frightened bird at the moment, his whole body is trembling like sifting chaff, it can be said that if he didn't drink much water before the college entrance examination to prevent going to the toilet, he even wondered if he would pee his pants in fright. When Gao Ying spoke, he didn't even hear clearly the first time, and he barely understood after Gao Ying spoke the second time.
"No... leaving?"
"Don't go yet." Gao Ying knew very well that in the current situation, if he continued to walk, if he hit a tree wall or something, he would be courting death. So, stop first, and if you want to go, wait for the moonlight to show a little bit before you go. In the current situation where you can't see your fingers, even if the devil is standing on the opposite side, they don't know it. Of course, Gao Ying also has his own ideas. The killing of the devil must be based on the premise that the candidates have the ability to answer the questions. Now it is so dark, even if they want to answer the questions, they can't do it. In other words, the devil is unlikely to kill at this time.
At this moment, Ji Yixuan saw the darkness around him, but he had to stand in place like a wooden man, wondering if he should listen to Gao Ying. But after all, Gao Ying was more experienced than him, and he didn't dare to act alone at this stage, so he could only listen to Gao Ying for the time being. But as long as he thinks that the god of death may come at any time, fear will continue to eat away at his sanity.
"If you want to live, just listen to me." Gao Ying finally added: "Don't forget, I am a candidate who survived the monthly exam."
Gao Ying knew very well that Ji Yixuan was a new examinee after all, he was different from Hou Mingbo, the latter had seen how he acted in the previous monthly exam, so in the face of life and death, his trust in Gao Ying was limited. Therefore, Gao Ying emphasized the fact that he survived the monthly exam, and reminded Ji Yixuan that he was the one who survived the exam once. And this point also made Ji Yixuan realize that Gao Ying's experience is a key to their survival.
However, Gao Ying struggled to make this decision. The current situation is too passive, I can't see my surroundings clearly, and I don't know what will happen in the next moment. Even if reason tells him that the devil will not choose to attack now, it is still difficult to get rid of the inner fear, which is the instinctive fear of the unknown.
In this kind of darkness, standing still is a great torment. Gao Ying didn't know how long he would stand like this, and whether his judgment was correct. The scene before Xu Yudan died because of his mistake in judgment still reverberates in his mind, he is afraid... he will be like Xu Yudan, die with regret!
I don't know how long it has passed in the darkness, when Gao Ying was almost on the verge of collapse, a thin ray of moonlight finally slightly dispelled the darkness in front of him.
But... Gao Ying, who saw the light again, did not have any joy, but stared at the ground.
It was a clump of... plantains!
Gao Ying only felt cold all over, and then he looked in front of him... It was a familiar two-story house! He continued to look to the side, that... it was the arch bridge!
He's... back again!
Ghost hit the wall!
At this moment, both Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan's complexions became extremely pale.
This classic horror movie scene actually appeared on him!
Looking at the dark arch bridge, their legs began to tremble! Immediately afterwards, their reaction at the same time was to turn around and run away! This time, they simply ran in the direction of the previous screams! But damn it, because I dare not make too much noise, I can only walk at a pace close to running! Ji Yixuan took this opportunity to take another look at the exam paper in his hand, looking for any exam questions that could correspond to the current situation! He... doesn't want to die! However, he was disappointed, there wasn't a single exam question that could solve the current problem!
They walked through the woods again, and the two turned their heads back from time to time, but there was nothing behind them. However, Gao Ying didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. If he dared to be careless here, there would be a dead end! Here, devils may suddenly appear from any corner at any time, and even approach them disguised as humans!
I don't know how long they walked, but when a house appeared in front of them, they finally relaxed a little.
But... when they saw the house clearly, they all lost their blood again!
That's impressive... It's still the two-story house! Nearby, that is, the arch bridge!
At this time, Gao Ying looked towards the arch bridge again.
At this time, the moonlight was limited, and the opposite side of the arch bridge was pitch black, and it was hard to see... if there was that black shadow.
"Well, then... that is?"
At this time, he suddenly discovered that there was an extra shoe in front of the arch bridge!
Gao Ying has a photographic memory that can be called a camera. He clearly remembers that the shoe belonged to the tall boy who ran away at the beginning!
