"How can it be???"
Gao Ying only felt that his whole body was frozen. He had expected various situations, but the sudden disappearance of a living person still made him feel horrified!
However, Gao Ying's mind quickly made the most reasonable reaction at this time! That is Sun Tzu's Thirty-Six Strategies in the Art of War, and it is the best policy to go!
So, a group of people walked through the narrow alleyway and rushed outside. As they ran, they looked back, afraid that a devil would rush out and kill them.
At this time, even those who had the last ounce of doubt in their hearts that there was a devil in this exam scene completely cut off their chances. After hearing the screams, they immediately glanced around, but... they didn't see even a single figure! There really are devils here!
After running in the deserted village for a long time, everyone was afraid of making noise and ran as fast as possible, so they still couldn't reach the level of panting.
But at this time, Gao Ying could clearly see the dissatisfaction and resentment from the crowd towards him. He only remembered that it was Gao Ying who brought them here, but completely forgot...they were the ones who wanted to come here on their own initiative. To them, it was really terrifying for a living person who was standing beside them just now to disappear and then die so silently. At this time, everyone was extremely terrified. If it weren't for the existence of taboos, riots might have occurred.
However, although Gao Ying's prestige in their hearts has been greatly weakened, he is still a candidate who has passed the monthly exam, and his wisdom and experience are there. Because of the threat to the lives of the devil, they did not dare to turn against Gao Ying. After all, if they had to rely on them alone to complete the exam, they really lacked confidence.
Lovecraft, the author of the Cthulhu mythology, once said that the most primitive fear of human beings comes from the unknown. For the current Gao Ying, this sentence is very applicable. It is the unknown that brings the greatest fear. Gao Ying finally realized that the last test was really "simple". At least the test paper gave a lot of information and intelligence. Candidates only need to find the corresponding vehicle based on the information, and they can find many clues. But this time, the information given in the test paper was extremely limited, and almost none of them touched on the biggest problem of this test... the source of taboo sounds.
"Did anyone... see how he disappeared?"
Gao Ying finally raised this question unwillingly, but he was doomed to be disappointed. Everyone looked at each other, unable to answer. So many people, no one found out how the boy disappeared
The missing boy is named Lei Yu. And he has a relatively taciturn personality, so most people haven't talked much to him. For his death, everyone is more sad for the death of a rabbit than a fox, and things hurt other people.
"Then..." Gao Ying looked at the candidates in front of him one by one, and continued to ask without giving up: "Who was the last person to see Lei Yu? What was he doing before he screamed?"
At this time, a boy spoke.
He was a young man with glasses and a gentle and handsome face. After recalling it with a look of fear, he said: "I remember him...he was standing by the wall, and then read the folded test paper in his hand... "
"Is he reading the test paper?"
"Well... it should be."
"Aside from looking at the test paper... is there anything unusual? Did he write anything?"
"I... I didn't see that he wrote the test paper, really, I didn't see it!"
"Speak softer!"
"Yes Yes… "
(Could it be that he was killed because he answered the question...wrongly? It is possible...but, in that case, did he find any corresponding test questions? Did he find the boy in red?)
You can be sure... Since he screamed, it means that he already feels that he is dead. After a person dies, who cares about the flood
But, at this moment, Lan Hsinchu suddenly turned pale!
"me… "
Gao Ying thought she had thought of something important, so she hurriedly walked up to Lan Xinzhu and asked, "What's wrong? What did you think of?"
Lan Hsinchu touched his pocket in horror and said, "I, my exam paper! I folded it and put it in my pocket before, but... now the exam paper is gone! Did it... fall in the alleyway just now?"
As soon as this remark came out, many people cast sympathetic looks at Lan Hsinchu.
"Then you go back and look for it!" Gao Ying glanced at the direction of the alleyway and said, "You may still have time to retrieve the test paper if you go now!"
"I... I dare not..." Lan Hsinchu looked at the many candidates in front of him, and begged in a low voice: "Please... who will take me to look for it together? I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life!"
Lan Hsinchu's appearance can be considered pretty, and it can be said that she is a bit pretty, but at this time, even if a peerless beauty is begging here, it is impossible for everyone to take risks. In this situation... whoever is going to be an idiot, courting death is not the way to find it. In this exam scene, everyone is a dead fellow Daoist Mo Sipindao, who told you to confiscate the exam papers
Lan Hsinchu also knows that the exam papers are exclusive to each person, and the names are all pre-written, and it is impossible to change them. If the exam papers cannot be retrieved, then Lan Hsinchu will definitely die. But she really didn't have the courage to go back to that alleyway to search alone. In the end, she turned to Gao Ying with the last ray of hope, but even Gao Ying expressed that she was powerless to help. It is really impossible for him to risk his life for a new candidate he just met.
Just when Lan Hsinchu's heart was ashamed and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and risk his life to go back to look for the test papers, a person walked out.
"I'll go with you!"
This person is Ji Yixuan!
Gao Ying was astonished at Ji Yixuan's volunteering. He didn't expect that Ji Yixuan could be so warm-hearted after the horrible experience just now. However, he hoped that Ji Yixuan could survive, and his intelligence would definitely help him in the future, but before he could speak, Ji Yixuan had already waved his hand, signaling Gao Ying not to persuade him anymore.
In fact, Lan Hsinchu is sensible and knows that it is normal for others to reject her. She was just a dead horse and a living horse doctor begging others, but she didn't expect that there was actually a person who was willing to help her! Immediately, she was full of gratitude to Ji Yixuan, and kept bowing to him to thank him.
"Okay... don't waste time, let's go."
He came forward to help Lan Hsinchu for only one reason, she reminded Ji Yixuan of his younger sister Yixin. Of course he knew it was dangerous to do so, but he really couldn't bear to see a girl of the same age as Yixin take risks alone. He has been living alone, and only Yixin illuminates his gloomy life.
