After today's journey just started, all four of them were quite nervous, but what they didn't expect was that not long after, they actually made two judgment questions one after another.
"I didn't expect to find this well here."
One of the judgment questions was horrifying, "At the bottom of the only dry well in the village, there lay a mummy that could be seen with the naked eye." Originally, everyone thought that this judgment question was mostly ticked, but unexpectedly The dry well they finally found had nothing at all at the bottom. It is also written in the title that it is "a mummy that can be seen with the naked eye", so if there is no corpse at the bottom of the well, it is natural to choose a fork.
At this time, Gao Ying was also in a better mood. After all, this was a good start, and he made two more questions.
"Yeah... It really scared me to death." Shen Junhao patted his chest. He thought that there must be a mummy at the bottom of the well, but he didn't expect that there was nothing. However, this way is also good, this question looks like it should be a sub-question.
"Well, it should be regarded as giving sub-questions. That's right, if there are so many questions and each one is so difficult, it will not be allowed to take the life test."
Gao Ying looked back at the dry well in the yard with lingering fear at this time, then turned and left.
In any case, a good start more or less dispelled the shadow brought by so many people who died yesterday.
Everyone is struggling hard, just to survive.
Looking at Gao Ying beside him, Ji Yixuan always felt that as long as he stayed by this man's side, he could have infinite confidence. Since his younger sister became one-hearted, he has a peer of the same age who can really talk to him, a real... friend.
He finally has friends, and this feeling is very good.
"Let's take a break, everyone."
Gao Ying could see that there was some fatigue on everyone's faces. At this time, it's better to take a rest first, otherwise, if the devil comes out and has no energy to escape, it would be ridiculous.
"Well... let's go there..." Jiao Chaoming pointed to the woods and said.
In front of him was a somewhat dense jungle, and seeing that jungle, Gao Ying gradually became a little shadowy. He remembered that the arch bridge he saw at the beginning, and the black shadow on the other side of the arch bridge, were just opposite the jungle.
"There are too many obstacles in the jungle, right?" Ji Yixuan raised an objection, "There are too many places for the devil to hide. And there may be fallen leaves and branches on the opposite side, so it is easier to make a sound, right?"
Hearing what Ji Yixuan said, Jiao Chaoming also felt that he seemed a little ill-considered.
"Then in front of the woods." Gao Ying considered the opinions of both parties and made a compromise.
There was a piece of soft mud in front of the woods. The four of them gathered there and began to sit and rest on the ground while checking the answers filled in the examination paper in their hands.
But... They are still a little worried. After all, the number of questions that have been done so far is still not many. If by tomorrow, the progress of the questions still cannot be improved, even if all the questions written on the test paper are correct, it is meaningless. Because as long as there is no way to pass, then even if you are not killed by the devil in this exam scene, you will die in the classroom. There is no doubt about this.
So, thinking of this, everyone is a little sad. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Fortunately, there is still time. In the next time, there will always be an opportunity to fill in the blanks on the test paper.
Gao Ying turned on a kettle he was carrying and slowly began to drink water. He was very careful while drinking the water. If he accidentally choked on it, the consequences would be disastrous.
After moistening his throat with water, he twisted the lid of the kettle again. Even in the process of resting, he still looks around quite vigilantly to make sure there is no danger around him. After all, it is daytime now, and the light is much more abundant than at night, so it is also very convenient for observation. And around this dense forest, the nearest house is tens of meters away, so there is almost no place where the devil can hide.
However, at this time, he always subconsciously looked into the depths of the dense forest. He remembered... in that direction, the place where the shadow was seen. He will never forget the looming black shadow opposite him at that time. He believed that he was not mistaken, and that it was probably some extremely terrifying devil.
Ji Yixuan noticed that Gao Ying looked back at the other direction of the dense forest. He was so smart that he immediately understood what Gao Ying meant. At that time, he also fell into the situation where ghosts hit the wall, and there was almost no way to get out alive. Even now, he is indeed quite afraid. After all, the terrifying phenomenon of ghost hitting the wall is too inexplicable, and it is trapped in an endless loop, and it is impossible to even escape.
At this moment, Jiao Chaoming noticed that Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan were both looking into the depths of the dense forest, and he also cast his gaze there. However, as far as he could see, he didn't see anything. However, Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan stared at it as if they had discovered something there.
"What... are you looking at?"
"It's nothing." Gao Ying shook his head and said, "It's just... I thought of some pretty bad memories."
Jiao Chaoming is also a smart person, and immediately understood what Gao Ying was talking about. Of course, since cheating may be involved, it is impossible for Gao Ying to tell Jiao Chaoming what happened.
At this time, Ji Yixuan suddenly felt a little dry in his throat due to nervousness, so he picked up the water bottle he brought and unscrewed it, and drank again. It's just... also because he was staring at the dense forest ahead, he made a huge mistake.
Ji Yixuan was not as vigilant as Gao Ying after all, this time, a lot of water poured into his throat, and this...caused him to choke!
At this moment, he immediately realized that he had made a huge, unforgivable mistake!
However, Ji Yixuan couldn't react at all in this extremely short time, he didn't have time to swallow the water, the choked water stimulated the bronchus, making him... cough extremely loudly!
The moment Ji Yixuan coughed, everyone almost fell into dead silence!
God!
Everyone's complexion changed drastically, Jiao Chaoming and Shen Junhao's first reaction was to jump up immediately and stay away from Ji Yixuan!
At this time, Gao Ying was also completely dumbfounded. He never imagined that just now, Ji Yixuan and Ji Yixuan had made a complete heart-to-heart relationship and formed a comrade-in-arms friendship, but now... Ji Yixuan broke this taboo, causing him to suffer this terrible curse!
Whether it was Jiao Chaoming or Shen Junhao, the first reaction was to run away immediately! Shen Junhao even went to pull Gao Ying who was still sitting on the ground, and whispered: "Gao Ying...it's useless! Let's, let's go!"
Gao Ying was pulled up by Shen Junhao, and Ji Yixuan's face was already dead pale.
At this time... Gao Ying knew very well that the most sensible course of action was to stay away from Ji Yixuan immediately. Ji Yixuan broke this taboo, obviously he couldn't survive. For a dead person, can he still stay and protect him? This is obviously impossible, right
But, remembering that Ji Yixuan saved his life twice, he just left... just left him
Thinking about it carefully, the test paper only mentions that you must never make a loud noise, but... it never mentioned that once you break this taboo, you will definitely die, right? Moreover, so far, the person who made the sound is dead, and the people around him will not be affected.
He and Ji Yixuan have already made an agreement, the two sides will be comrades in arms standing side by side until death!
Thus, Gao Ying broke free from Shen Junhao's hand!
"Let's go... I'll stay! There must be a way to save Yixuan!"
When Gao Ying said these words, the remaining three people, especially Ji Yixuan, couldn't believe their ears. However, although Gao Ying's voice was very soft, Ji Yixuan was right in front of Gao Ying, so he could still hear Gao Ying's words clearly.
He actually decided...to stay and protect himself
Shen Junhao didn't expect Gao Ying to be so crazy at this time. As for Jiao Chaoming, who didn't know Gao Ying well before, he was even more shocked. How could there be someone like Gao Ying at this time
However, it was obviously impossible for him to stay here with Gao Ying and wait to die, but he really admired him. If Gao Ying could survive, he hoped... that he could make friends with this person. He is a companion worthy of trust!
"Gao Ying...you..." Ji Yixuan looked at the backs of Shen Junhao and Jiao Chaoming leaving quickly, and still looked at Gao Ying who stayed where he was in disbelief, "You really decided to stay here?"
