More people will reduce fear.
The more people there are, the more interesting it will be.
Lots of people... A lot of serious things can get a little funny.
It's like in high school, the teacher pointed out the window and said to a student, "You stand out for me!"
This is punishment.
To a class of students: "You all stand out for me!"
This is the show of the show.
That's how it felt when the three invigilators brought back all the offending candidates.
Ridiculously ridiculous.
922 looked at the dark heads in the hut, and couldn't hold back any seriousness.
"I might have a home party," he said earnestly.
154 rubbed his temples, still trying to pretend: "...don't make trouble."
It's actually kind of like that.
922 said with emotion: "When has the invigilation office been so lively?"
154 Give up the struggle: "…Yeah"
922: "The boss is the boss."
154: "… ah."
Just after "ah", the system backhand is a violation reminder.
The little red lights of the two invigilators were "didi" on.
021 sneered beside him, and said in his heart that you will be overjoyed and sigh, our seniors are the best.
She kicked the idiot 922 with the tip of her high-heeled shoe and said, "Stop stomping, take people downstairs, there's not enough to stand here."
922 said, "Miss, is downstairs enough? We only have three rooms. If three people enter at a time, the queue can be queued until this time tomorrow."
"Don't pay attention to the single room at this time, let them be together." 154 said.
***
The basement fully continues the characteristics of the invigilation office, which is consistent with the style of the examination room.
It looks like the dungeon under the church-
Going down the stone steps, you will see an underground alleyway. A wall fire is burning in the semi-curved stone groove on the wall, dividing light and dark color blocks.
At the end of the alley are three horizontal rooms, like stone prison cells, with narrow black doors.
Perhaps to create a sense of claustrophobia, the entire basement has only the firelight just now, and the rest are half-hidden in dim shadows.
021 came down and frowned.
922 muttered plainly, "With so many kinds of confinement rooms, I don't like this style the most."
"Don't complain, okay? This is after I cleaned it. It was more simulated before, and it was damp everywhere." 154 said angrily.
The candidates stood at the end of the alley and looked at each other.
A bold raised his hand and asked, "Invigilator, can you ask what the punishment is?"
"Ah, you don't know?" 922 said subconsciously.
The examinee was confused: "I... should I know?"
The three invigilators were stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that they had been numb by You Huo and Qin Qiu, and almost made the candidates who had forgotten the real normal know nothing about the punishment, so they would be a little uneasy.
154 coughed and said with a serious face: "In the case of the first violation of this test, the violation candidates will be locked up for three hours per person."
"Will it be life-threatening?"
"Generally not." 154 said.
generally
The faces of a few timid candidates turned ugly again.
154 hesitated, then added: "You will see the scene you are most afraid of in the confinement room, or the person or the thing. If you know it, there will be no danger to your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, his little red light beeped again.
His first reaction was that tonight's system was very rude, and it was much more severe than usual.
But when he opened the door of the first confinement room, secretly thankful that a hodgepodge of people might reduce the danger, he suddenly realized...
It's not that the system is particularly rude, but that he has become more and more inclined towards candidates since he did not know when.
In other words, the position of these invigilators in favor of candidates is becoming more and more obvious, and sometimes it is not even concealed between the lines.
They are getting more and more unruly.
When he saw a red light before, he would instantly become cautious.
Today, the red light came on twice, and he didn't even glance at it.
Not only him, but also 922 and 021.
This is probably influenced by someone or two.
"Why are you in a daze?" 922 patted him suddenly, "What are you thinking?"
154 returned to God and said, "I didn't think of anything."
922 glanced at him again before turning around to arrange candidates.
This idiot is trying to put 19 people in the same cell, probably trying to de-risk them secretly too. After all, if the number of people reaches a certain level, the horror scene may become four different, and no one will be scared.
What's more, if you have a partner, you can help each other out.
However, just after the fifth one was plugged, the sound of the system suddenly sounded in the basement.
Although there was no ups and downs in his tone, he could vaguely feel that it had been holding back for a long time, and it was a bit unbearable.
[Warning, the maximum number of people in a single confinement room is 5, and the excess is illegal. 】
922 said, "There are only 15 of those 3 rooms, what about 4 more?"
[The rest of the candidates who violated the regulations should wait patiently on the bench outside the confinement room, and should not play and make noise. 】
922: "Oh..."
He also tried to put Qin Jiu, You Huo, and Gao Qi into three doors. With these three people taking them, the confinement room would be better.
Who knows that the system has made a sound again.
[The candidates Pang An, Meng Cenchen, Li Hao, Zhang Rui, and Xu Xinxin entered the No. 2 confinement room in turn. 】
922: "…"
Okay, let's start calling.
This is not a home party, this is a bank.
The system reported five more names, let them enter the No. 3 confinement room, and said:
[The candidates Qin Zhu, You Huo, Gao Qi, and Zhao Hong please wait. 】
Hearing this, 922 finally frowned.
A fool like him could feel the malice coming towards him.
As far as he knows, this candidate named Zhao Hong also performed very well, and he was the one who scored the most points in this exam besides those three.
Putting these four in the second batch, the intention of the system is too obvious—
It's too easy to avoid confinement.
Second, others can finish the exam in three hours, and they have to stay here for six hours.
It not only extended the punishment time, but also disguised them from the examination room.
With these few away, who knows what the resurrected Duke will do
He can understand it, and the boss must understand it.
922 sent the last group of candidates to the confinement room, turned to look at Qin Qiu, but found that the other party pinched the bridge of his nose, which seemed uncomfortable.
"What's the matter, boss?" He and 154 moved closer.
Qin Qiu had already put down his hands, and he looked no different from usual: "What's the matter?"
922 felt that he might be dazzled again.
They didn't say much, just said hello and went upstairs one after another.
There are really a few benches outside the confinement room. They say they are benches, but they are actually stone platforms.
Candidate Zhao Hong was still immersed in the excitement of scoring points and couldn't sit down for a while.
He paced back and forth for a few steps, and was about to say, "Big bosses, come! Let's discuss what to do next", when Big boss No. 1 threw a sentence, "Sleepy, I'll sleep for a while."
You Huo casually found a "bench" in a corner to lie down, and soon fell asleep with his pillow.
Zhao Hong looked at Qin Qiu again.
He sat down on the stone platform next to Youyou and said, "I'll lean on for a while."
There was no movement.
Gao Qi looked at him in confusion and muttered, "A is a little sleepy now, I know, why are you here?"
Qin Qiu was already closing his eyes and resting. He didn't open his eyes when he heard the words, and said lazily, "I've been infected for a long time."
Gao Qi let out a "ha", thinking that he was going to show off again.
Zhao Hong looked at him again, he pointed to the stone platform and said, "How about we both sleep?"
Zhao Hong: "..."
Did you come to the proctoring office to supplement your sleep
Gao Qi slept as soon as he said sleep, and a gentle snoring sounded in the basement soon.
Zhao Hong was lying on the stone platform, and he could vaguely hear the screams in the confinement room.
After listening for a while, he couldn't fall asleep anymore, so he just opened his eyes and froze.
Qin Jiu and You Huo were very close to Zhao Hong, and his eyes turned, inevitably swept to those two.
I don't know if it was because of the dim light, but Qin Jiu frowned slightly after falling asleep, showing a hint of tiredness.
Zhao Hong is not familiar with them, and his impression of them is that they are too powerful.
He subconsciously thought: Are they tired too
But then I thought that this idea was really weird, how could people not be tired
He was about to continue his daze, and when he looked back, he glanced at You Huo's elbow that was blocking his face, and suddenly stopped with a "hiss".
Because You Huo has a large red next to his wrist.
Zhao Hong took a closer look and found that it was actually an injury.
A large bloody wound.
It's so weird.
Because when You Huo just lay down ten minutes ago, the wound didn't exist yet.
Zhao Hong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted—
The sickness from those in the church took effect...
***
Youhuo knew that he had a fever, and his bones and joints were full of soreness.
Maybe it was because he was a little tired that he didn't sleep soundly this time, and he had a lot of fragmented dreams for the first time ever.
Again he dreamed of the familiar house.
Dreaming of the basement again.
In the dream, the surrounding environment was as dim as the invigilator office, with only one corridor light on.
He came out of the confinement room and closed the door behind his back.
For some reason, there was sweaty dampness between the ends of his hair and his neck.
…
However, the buttons on the collar of his shirt were meticulous, with only the sleeves turned up a little and rolled up to his elbows.
He went up the stairs, took a set of clean clothes from the back of the sofa in the living room, and turned to the bathroom on the first floor.
Just two steps away, a voice suddenly sounded in the house.
In reality, this voice was very annoying to him, but he didn't expect it to be even worse in his dreams.
[Invigilator A, why did you take a shower when you came out of the confinement room? 】
You Huo frowned, and then returned to his cold appearance.
"It's interesting to stare like this 24 hours a day?"
The system's voice sounded again:
[This is my responsibility and my ability. The most important thing is to comply with the regulations. 】
This is subtly different from the system in the exam room, which speaks more like a human being.
However, 922 did say that the system in the invigilation area is smarter than that in the test room, and it is everywhere except the confinement room.
The wandering in the dream did not say a word, and took out a towel from the drawer on his own.
The system is relentless:
[You haven't answered yet, why do you need to take a shower when you come out of the confinement room? 】
You Huo paused for a while, and then said coldly after a while, "Because it's boring."
The system was silent, and said a few seconds later:
[However, records show that the temperature hadn't picked up 15 days ago, and that's what happened when you came out of the confinement room. 】
Confused: "… "
You Huo threw his clothes on the glazed table, propped up the table for a moment of silence, and said, "I said it, because it's boring. When are you going to move the confinement room to the ground?"
system:
[Do not move, the comfort of the confinement room environment determines the intensity of punishment, and it will never be moved. 】
