[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 48 [English]
by☆, Chapter 48 Do you smoke?
Snap.
Someone snapped their fingers on the side of Youhuo’s face.
The force was deliberately very light, perhaps for fear of startling the monster, or perhaps for fear of startling people.
Youhuo was stunned and turned around.
Qin Juzheng stopped: “What are you thinking about?”
“No.” You Huo shook his head.
The lighter lingered on, then went out again.
The cabin was dark, except for the faint light in Qin Zhu’s eyes.
You Huo moved his fingers holding the cigarette, and that familiar feeling flashed through him again.
he turned and stared at the monster.
After a while, another voice suddenly came out from the darkness: “Do you smoke?”
This question was so confusing that Qin Jiu was stunned for a moment: “Now?”
Only then did You Huo realize that there was ambiguity: “No…”
The feeling passed for a moment, and suddenly it felt a little boring.
He has met Qin Jiu so many times, but he has never seen him buy cigarettes.What’s more, it’s too weird to grab a random person and ask this.Now that I think back to what I just asked, I feel very stupid.
“Forget it, just pretend I didn’t ask.”
Youhuo returned to his lazy tone.
Qin Jiu seemed to want to say something.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly stopped, and his fingers tapped on Youhuo’s shoulder twice, like a reminder.
Behind the stone pillar, the monster finally recovered from the coughing and choking.
Start moving quietly.
It seems to have a little fluorescent light on it, or maybe it’s the abnormal white flesh that’s more conspicuous in the dark.
Youhuo was able to see its movements clearly.
Its huge eyes were exposed a little from behind the stone pillar and turned up, down, left and right.The body, which is enough to fill half the cabin, rises and falls with the breath, and the countless extended limbs tap lightly on the wooden floor with the rhythm of the rise and fall.
Click, click, click.
This monster looks like a mutated giant octopus, its limbs are tentacles, and the inside is even covered with suckers.
But it looks much blinder than an octopus.
Youhuo held his breath in disgust.
The tentacles of the ugly octopus were still extending, its huge head tilted behind the stone pillar, and its eyes turned away.
Suddenly, one of its tentacles suddenly grew longer.
Like a gecko’s tongue flicking at a mosquito, it suddenly reaches somewhere.
There was a bang.
The stacked wooden boxes collapsed on the ground.
The one hit directly by the tentacle had broken into several planks.
But unfortunately, no one was there.
The ugly octopus tilted its huge head to the other side and turned its eyes.
Feel carefully.
The cabin was silent except for the gurgling sound of water as it moved.
…
Youhuo felt his shoulder being quietly poked twice more.
He turned his head and saw Qin Jiuchong opening his palm, with a rotten cork on his palm.
The other party made a gesture.
You Huo suddenly understood.
Qin Jiu stretched out his index finger with his free hand:
1
2
3
The moment three fingers were raised.
Youhuo threw out the half of the cigarette butt in his hand. At the same time, Qin Zhu threw the cork in the opposite direction.
Whoosh——
The tentacles stretched out at an absurdly fast speed, with the sound of wind.
The ugly octopus didn’t move at all, its two tentacles flicked in two directions at the same time.
As expected, a wooden cabinet was struck and knocked down.
As it fell, one end got stuck diagonally on the stone pillar, forming a triangular frame.
At the other end, a mountain of human bones was scattered by it.
The pelvis, skull, and leg bones flew all over the floor.
Some of them were thrown in front of You Huo.
Youhuo and the skull looked at each other.
Maybe many years ago, it was still flesh and blood, and it was the last batch of trapped captain and crew members.Or maybe it’s a candidate who was caught taking the exam.
Youhuo’s fingers that reached out to the bones stopped for a moment, and instead grabbed a few nails and wood chips.
Without saying a word, he threw these things out one by one.
Every time one is thrown, the ugly octopus will fly out a tentacle.
Throw another one, and another one flies.
Not missing a step, very excited…
How should I put it? Youhuo suddenly understood the meaning of the dog owner throwing the Frisbee.
The same goes for Qin Zhu.
For a moment, the cabin was caught in some strange confrontation.
He’s body didn’t move, Qin Zhu didn’t move either, and the ugly octopus didn’t even move.
Only the arms and tentacles were flying.
Just a few minutes.
The cabin was dismantled into complete ruins. Tables, chairs and cupboards were staggered everywhere. The two food items were still missing.
Ugly Octopus: “…”
The two bosses took a look and expressed that they were basically satisfied with the current chaos.
They were quiet for a while.
The cabin suddenly became quiet, the ugly octopus’s eyes began to roll again, and its body’s ups and downs slowed down.
He seemed calm again.
It’s like playing a game with the food in your mouth, taking your time.
Today this pair of food is a bit skinny.
But that’s okay, he doesn’t mind playing hide and seek for a while before eating.
Proper consumption will always increase its appetite and make food look more delicious.
It thinks generously.
Food that resists is delicious.
The meat became loose after being frightened, and lost its chewiness.
It even feels that eating it in one go is too boring. It is best to let it eat two mouthfuls to fill its belly, play for a day, and then eat two mouthfuls to pad its belly.
Keep your hunger constant and every bite will be extra satisfying.
It is also not afraid of food escaping.
No matter how you escape, at 0:00 at night, food will be delivered to it, with fear, despair and a little helplessness.
Extraordinarily rich flavor.
…
•
Youhuo didn’t know what the ugly octopus was thinking.
I only saw it licking the soft flesh of its mouth, smashing it twice, and then leaking a few streams of saliva.
The dim light outside the porthole window just reflected it, shining brightly.
Youhuo: “…”
As soon as the monster drooled, the smell in the cabin became even more intoxicating.
You Huo held his breath and made eye contact… finally he couldn’t stand it anymore.
He didn’t even look back, and even criticized Qin Jiu several times.
Then quietly compare the numbers with your fingers:
1
2
3
He bowed and rushed out.
On the other side, Qin Jiu did not let him down and also took action at the same time.
The ugly octopus suddenly became excited, and more than ten tentacles attacked one after another.
Wherever there is movement, tentacles will strike.
Not one, two.
If you don’t catch two, then three.
The messy cabin was deliberately created by the two of them, and it was of no harm to them at all.
When one passed through the stone pillar, the other just jumped over the stairs with his hands.
While one leaned against the iron cabinet, the other ducked under the sloping wooden cabinet.
…
Less than two minutes passed.
Youhuo stood still behind the stone pillar.
The tentacles of the ugly octopus were sharp and thin at the end. He grabbed a handful in his hand…
Qin Jiu was half-crouching on the stairs, with another stone pillar beside him and the rest under his feet.
As for the ugly octopus…
Its tentacles were divided into two groups, and they made a twists and turns in the debris, being stretched by the two bosses.
The huge head was a little shorter, lying on the ground with a split posture.
You Huo asked Qin Zhu, “Have you brought the rope?”
“I am not allowed to take anything belonging to the invigilator, which I have always regretted…” Qin Zhu said regretfully while looking around.
He reached out and fished out a piece of rope from the corner of the stairs. He looked through it and said, “I just saw this. It should be used to tie the sail. Here it is.”
Qin Jiu stretched out his hand and threw the rope over.
Youhuo caught it and immediately tied the ends of the tentacles in his hand together and tied them into a ponytail.
“You are really…” Qin Jiu said.
He looks cold and arrogant, but he can play with anything.
Youhuo threw away his tied ponytail, raised his eyelids and looked at him, expressionlessly waiting for him to finish talking nonsense.
Qin Jiu said “Huh” and changed his words: “It’s funny and interesting.”
As he said this, he also groped around at the top of the stairs, found another length of rope, and tied the ends of the tentacles he was stepping on together.
This is the twin ponytails.
Ugly Octopus: “…”
Qin Zhu jumped down the stairs with one hand on his hands.
The tentacles tied by he drooped from the side of the stairs, hanging as if they were dead.
Qin Zhu looked through it and said, “Can all these things be eaten?”
Ugly Octopus: “…”
You Huo: “…can’t.”
Qin Jiu was quite surprised: “No? It looks no different from squid tentacles.”
Youhuo glanced at him in disbelief.
Qin Jiu thought he would say something like “Are you a pervert?” but the boss suddenly said: “The head is too ugly.”
Ugly Octopus: “…”
As he spoke, he saw that the ugly octopus’ head quickly grew in size.
It was full of energy…
Just a few snapping sounds were heard, and the ends of the tied tentacles suddenly broke off.
Once the ugly octopus is freed from its confinement, it immediately retracts all its tentacles.
I saw that huge flesh-white body suddenly dwarfed, stretching and retracting freely into the gap in the wall.
In just the blink of an eye, it slipped away and disappeared, leaving only two bundles of ponytails that had given up on their own initiative.
Cut off your hair to save your life?
…Okay.
You Huo turned on the lighter again and walked to the place where the ugly octopus disappeared.
Several pieces of the wooden ship plank there were broken, leaving a hole less than one meter in diameter. Through the hole, you could see the uneven rocks and several deep gaps.
The salty smell of sea water came from the gap, and a faint sound of waves could be heard.
After a while, Qin Jiu whistled softly by the porthole.
Yu Hu’s attention was drawn to it.
“Run away.” Qin Jiu knocked on the window glass.
Outside the porthole is the deep sea water.
There are rocks on one side and seawater under the ice on the other.
It seems that this abandoned ship is still on the island, but it is stuck in a tricky edge position, so that they could not find it before.
Youhuo thought to himself, walked to the porthole and looked out.
In the sea water not far away, a flesh-white shadow flashed past and swam away without looking back.
In an instant, the sea water returned to its quiet and deep appearance.
“I don’t smoke.” Qin Jiu said suddenly.
You Huo was stunned and straightened up.I saw Qin Jiu leaning against the porthole and looking at him: “Is this what you meant when you asked before?”
Youhuo didn’t expect that he would still remember this.
Qin Jiu added: “Why do you want to ask this?”
“Nothing.” You Huo paused for a moment, “I picked up a cigarette butt and asked the owner.”
Qin Zhu raised his eyebrows when he thought of the moldy thing.
Youhuo has left.
The cabin was a mess.
Youhuo and Qin Jiu swept through the “battlefield” and found a lot of useful things from broken boxes and collapsed cabinets.
Including candles, wind lanterns, and compasses.
There are even medieval-style badges, pocket watches and a rusty box.
Youhuo lit the lantern and finally gave the lighter a chance to breathe.
The two dialed the compass and followed the wind leaking from the cabin to find the exit.
•
Soon after.
In the cave, a group of candidates entered the cave one after another holding torches and exchanging news.
“Did you find it?”
“We went there for a walk and walked along the coast for half an hour, but we couldn’t find any trace of the monster.”
“Then…are there any bones?”
“No, no.”
“Oh oh oh that’s good. If you don’t see the bones, at least there is hope of survival.”
After You Huo and Qin Ju disappeared, they were quite scared.
But Shu Xue, a pregnant woman, took the initiative to grab a torch and go looking for her. How could the others sit still and immediately formed a team and went out.
But after searching for nearly an hour, no trace was found.
It is said that there is still hope without corpses.
But how small the hope is, we know clearly in our hearts…
Everyone suddenly fell into silence for a while, and sighed with sad faces.
Before he could finish his sigh, two figures appeared at the entrance of the cave.
When everyone turned around, they saw two people who were about to turn into bones in their hearts, carrying two bundles of squid tentacles, an iron box, and a wind lantern…
Came back in big and small packages.
Everyone: “……………………”
At this time, one of the two bosses glanced at the score wall and muttered in front of the dead rabbit: “Why didn’t you violate the rules this time…”
Dead Rabbit: “……………………”
Is this so addictive to breaking the rules???
The author has something to say: Sorry, I really didn’t sleep much in the past two days. I fell asleep after working overtime last night…
