Gao Ying looked carefully at the bottom line of the last argument question in the examination paper.
"Would you like to extend the test time by 10 minutes? If yes, tick it, otherwise, tick it. Once you fill in the tick and cross, you are not allowed to change it ()"
This is what Gao Ying discovered when he first got the test paper, which obviously shows that...
(This is the reward for my 100 points in the last exam. 10 minutes seems short, but it may bring miraculous results at critical moments. This is also my last hole card. Hopefully, I don’t need to use this hole card.)
Then, Gao Ying folded the test paper and looked out the window at the darkening sky.
He had just taken a nap, and of course sent guards in turn during his sleep. He didn't sleep very well this time either, only sleeping for about 5 hours.
The night is coming, and he needs to keep a clear head at this time.
The first day is coming to an end, however, without much to gain. However, after sleeping for a while, Gao Ying also cleared up his mind a lot.
(Since there are three days, it means... we need so much time to solve the problem. Or at least have enough clues to solve the problem?)
Xie Quan and Zhang Yuan disappeared. In this village, there is no real difference between disappearance and death, and because every time someone goes out with Gao Ying, someone will die, the candidates have become more and more distrustful of him, and plan to use their own methods to try to complete the exam.
"Drink some water."
Some of the wells in the village have very shallow water, which can be filled by bending down and taking a bowl without making too much noise. And Gao Ying took the bowl from Hou Mingbo, said thank you in a low voice, and then sipped the water slowly.
"Gao Ying... Are we going out now, or?"
Hou Mingbo really didn't dare to go out at night. He kept running outside today, with little gain. He almost lost his life several times, especially in that hut.
"Let's go!" Gao Ying made a decision without thinking too much: "Here, the danger of day and night will not change, but because of the time difference we entered, we will be more energetic at night."
"Gao... Gao Ying, have you really decided?"
"We're running out of time. The first day is almost over."
Thinking of the missing Xie Quan and Zhang Yuan, Hou Mingbo's heart tightened. It is too frightening to kill two candidates in one breath. Now that the people in the village are panicking, Gao Ying is afraid that only Gao Ying dares to go out at this time.
"I am coming too."
Ji Yixuan also woke up at this time. After sleeping, his mind became clearer.
So, this time, Gao Ying, Ji Yixuan, Hou Mingbo, and Shen Junhao were still active. After experiencing many previous adventures, Hou Mingbo and Shen Junhao's hearts are becoming more and more resistant to stimulation. Humans are highly adaptable to any environment.
The four of them embarked on the journey again.
In the dark night, the whole village was dead silent. The other candidates are holding their breath now, and none of them dare to come out and walk around. They all thought to wait until the daytime, and then gather with each other to find a way to solve the problem. However, time is life, sleeping has already consumed part of the time, Gao Ying will not waste it. If he can't make this test paper, he will die when he goes back, and he will turn into a dead person like Zhang Wei and leave the classroom!
Of course, the first thing to keep in mind is... the sound, the control of which is the key to survival no matter what.
There is always a feeling in Gao Ying's heart... just suppressing the voice will never be the way out, not to mention that doing so will not make the test paper. And by tomorrow, I am afraid that more people will die. Right now, it's the calm before the storm!
In the process of walking outside, everyone basically does not speak, and when walking, basically the toes touch the ground first, and then the heels slowly touch the ground. Fortunately, even though it was dark night, there was still a little moonlight, otherwise, walking outside would be courting death, and if one accidentally kicked a stone, it would be fatal.
Among the four, Gao Ying walked in the front, and Ji Yixuan followed closely behind him. His footsteps were almost exactly the same as Gao Ying's. Even when the two of them took steps, they looked like they were looking in a mirror! And Hou Mingbo and Shen Junhao followed closely behind, and kept looking around, afraid that some devil would suddenly pounce from a dark corner! However, this kind of thing did not happen. Although they walked for a long time, the monster they were afraid of never appeared.
"That is!"
At this moment, Gao Ying suddenly stopped! Because, he suddenly saw that the door of a house in front was wide open, and inside the door, one could see at a glance... under the beam, a noose was hanging down, and a chair fell to the ground.
Gao Ying remembered that when he passed this room in the morning, the door...wasn't open yet!
And the noose that looked obviously hanging was the first question of the multiple-choice question!
"The villagers who hanged themselves in the village did not meet which of the following? ()"
Four options: A is a man B was wearing shoes when he hanged himself C was dead with the face of the body facing the door D the dead is still in the house now
It seems that the 4 extremely terrifying options, just looking at them, make people creepy.
"Gao... Gao Ying, we, are we going in?" Shen Junhao deliberately took out the test paper and looked at the four options again, and his face turned pale with fright.
Gao Ying stared at the noose hanging in the room. It was obviously impossible to solve this problem without seeing the corpse. However, it is obviously unlikely that the corpse will take the initiative to ask them to solve the problem.
Gao Ying stared at the noose inside the door and the chair on the ground. It is impossible to judge which option is correct and which option is wrong from the question just by looking at the door. What's more, this is a multiple choice question.
"If the devil is inside..." Gao Ying weighed the risks and said, "The devil will find a way to make us make a sound..."
The devil cannot kill without a voice...but why
"However... there is a problem," Ji Yixuan pointed to a certain option and said, "If the devil is not inside, how can we prove that the devil is not there? Even if we stay inside for a day and the devil does not appear, it still cannot prove that the devil is not there, right?"
It is already very unreliable to look at the devil between your fingers, Gao Ying basically doesn't count on this method now. So how to prove that the "devil" is not there? Reverse thinking, to make this question, the devil must show up. That said, D is very likely true...
Gao Ying experienced the hut incident, and it was not easy for him to break through his defenses. There should be a more reasonable solution to this problem.
Staring at the gate, Gao Ying was thoughtful.
(I must be missing something...but what is it? What am I... missing?)
