Time... doesn't stop when someone dies. The life that human beings regard as a treasure is a humble existence that is not even as good as an ant in this exam scene.
Tall Shadow... relighted a candle.
He carefully pointed the candle at the examination paper and checked it.
At this time, an hour had passed since Jiao Chaoming's death.
Fortunately, they brought a sufficient number of spare candles, but the matches have almost been consumed. And in the past hour, Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan wandered in this labyrinth-like tomb, and from time to time, a separate small tomb chamber would appear in front of them, some of which corresponded to the exam questions. And some, there is almost no danger at all.
An hour later, Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan had completed all the true or false questions, nine of the multiple-choice questions, no further progress on the multiple-choice questions, and little progress on the fill-in-the-blank questions. Even so, Gao Ying saw more and more content filled in the examination paper, and felt that he was one step away from death.
But... the biggest reason for entering this tomb is to find the root of the village's curse, but there is no clue yet. Along the way, they continued to race against the god of death, and by now, they were exhausted. If you can't make the final proof question, let alone whether you can pass or not, there is a big difference from Gao Ying's original plan to get a high score to continue the lottery draw.
Now, walking in the dark corridor that could barely pass the two of them, Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan's physical strength declined more and more. There are fewer and fewer matches, only two. If it continues, they may not last until the end. However, looking at the countdown on the test paper, both Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan knew that in the current situation, they must not fall down! Never!
Now, Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan are undoubtedly the ones who have solved the most problems among the remaining surviving candidates. They have all come to this point, and if they endure it a little longer, this inhumane exam will be over!
At this time, another tomb door appeared in front of them!
Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan looked at each other, and they walked up.
Perhaps the final answer lies in the tomb!
Their steps were firm, without any pause. At this time, they have no room for fear, they will dance with the god of death, either perish and die, or... eternal immortality!
When he walked to the front of the tomb, Ji Yixuan first stretched out his hand to push the door open.
At this time, both Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan were praying for one thing in their hearts. That is... They hope that in the tomb, there will be clues they hope to find!
The tomb was opened, and this time, what Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan saw... was an empty tomb. And like the previous tomb, it was extremely small, and it didn't take long to walk to the end.
Naturally, it cannot be matched with any of the test questions on the test paper.
Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan looked at each other, and then they both walked towards the door on the other side of the tomb. In any case, they can only move forward. After all, they have gone deep into this tomb, and they cannot be reconciled until they find the final answer.
Walking to the other end of the tomb, the door...but couldn't be pushed open!
The experience of the past hour made Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan very clear about what this meant!
But, which one of the test questions on the test paper does this correspond to
Gao Ying was unflappable in the face of danger, and immediately turned around and held a candle to illuminate the surroundings.
Still nothing.
And at this moment, Gao Ying suddenly felt that his right ear was sprayed!
It was as if someone was blowing into his ear on his right! But Ji Yixuan was on Gao Ying's left!
Gao Ying immediately took the candle and shone to the right!
Right side... nothing!
Gao Ying continued to shine the candle on Ji Yixuan, but he was so frightened that he turned pale with fright!
I saw that Ji Yixuan's eyes could no longer see the pupils, they were completely occupied by the whites of his eyes! Ji Yixuan, who had no pupils, stared at Gao Ying, and then began to speak.
The volume of his speech has not been lowered at all... This is obviously not Ji Yixuan's voice.
"Intruder... intruder... die..."
Gao Ying took several steps back in horror. At this moment, Ji Yixuan was... possessed
Possession!
In the fill-in-the-blank questions, there are questions about possession!
At this moment, Gao Ying boldly lowered his voice and asked "Ji Yixuan" in front of him: "Answer me...why is it not allowed to speak loudly in Yinmen Village?"
He wants to know the answer!
"Intruder... intruder... die..."
However, the possessed Ji Yixuan could only say this sentence, and then he rushed towards Gao Ying!
But just when he was about to rush in front of Gao Ying, Ji Yixuan's eyes closed, and then his whole body bumped into Gao Ying's body!
What the hell does this happen
Gao Ying immediately pulled Ji Yixuan away, but Ji Yixuan opened his eyes at this moment!
"Gao... Ying? Me just now?"
Ji Yixuan has the memory of being possessed. He remembered what happened when he was possessed. At that time, he only felt that something extremely evil had invaded his body.
This feeling made him feel sick. Ji Yixuan was even afraid that the devil possessing him might still be there. Maybe when the possessed devil will reappear and find a way to take their lives!
And at this moment, the door behind it opened automatically!
Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan looked at the dark corridor behind, is that... an invitation from Death
"Intruder dies"
Is this devil the soul buried in the ancient tomb
Was the curse placed on the villagers because the Sleep was broken
However, the mystery is still not solved. The final argument question, what is the answer
There is no choice.
Gao Ying looked at the dark corridor behind the door and the few candles left. Even if this is an invitation from the god of death, they can only move forward. Otherwise, they have no hope of completing the exam. As long as they can make the final argument, they don't even need to think about leaving the tomb. They will naturally return to that classroom when the time comes. As long as you can go back, everything can be over!
Now Gao Ying really understands what it means not to be crazy, not to survive.
He has already endured too much that is not what he needs to bear at his age. In the exam scene where hope and despair alternate, he even feels that it is a miracle that he can survive.
He glanced at Ji Yixuan again. Of course he knew that Ji Yixuan was possessed by a devil, so there was no guarantee that he would not turn into the horrible appearance just now. But in this dark tomb, if Ji Yixuan, the only companion, is not by his side, he is really afraid that he will collapse in despair and fear, and even choose to commit suicide. Facing death alone in the dark is a more terrifying thing than devils and devils. He couldn't live alone, living alone, even if he got eternal life, it would be a curse.
"let's go."
Gao Ying didn't make a sound for these three words, but just moved his lips.
Ji Yixuan followed immediately.
Gao Ying had a hunch that before her eyes was the final answer to the mystery. Once you get through it, you can survive from death. If you can't get through... this dark tomb will be Gao Ying's final burial place.
And Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan continued to walk along the dark corridor behind. After walking for more than ten minutes, as the candle in Gao Ying's hand became shorter and shorter, he also found that... this passage seemed to become narrower up. Originally, at least two people could pass through the passage in parallel, but now...something seems wrong, and only one person can barely pass through. Therefore, Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan could only pass through one after the other.
However, Gao Ying became excited instead, and confidence began to ignite in her heart. Perhaps here lies the hope of being able to make the final argument!
The hope of survival is just ahead!
Gao Ying also quickened his pace.
He wants it as soon as possible! ASAP!
Finally, Gao Ying and Ji Yixuan came to the end of this tomb corridor.
But this time, although there is also a door at the end, this door... has a piece of paper stuck on it!
"Death contract... documents?"
Gao Ying walked towards his eyes slowly, staring at this piece of paper, and on the top of the paper, these four words were impressively written!
He looked down quickly.
"This document is... borrowed from the underworld... Yin soldiers guard the tomb???"
