[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 99 [English]

Chapter 99 Late arrival

Zhao Jiatong has never actually used the good guy card, so he doesn’t know the “side effects” of using it.

Youhuo and Qin Jiu came back from shopping. As soon as they entered the hotel door, they were stopped by the boss.

At the same time, the elevator door on the first floor opened with a ding, and Yang Shu walked out with a puzzled look on his face, still holding her bag in his hand.

When she saw You Huo and Qin Zhu, she pointed at the waiter beside her and said, “Just in time! He said we are about to take the next exam now and asked me to pack my things. Are you kidding me?”

“Now?” Qin Jiu was stunned.

The boss nodded and said, “Yes, right now.”

Youhuo’s first reaction was to make the system angry again, and the other party finally couldn’t hold back and retaliated.

But the boss picked up the registration book at the front desk and said, “Didn’t you register to form a team before?”

“Yeah.” Youhuo nodded, “Will the team formation be advanced?”

“It doesn’t seem to be the case.” The boss took a hurried sip of water, pulled out a notice on the table and said, “This is the first time I’ve met someone who has a team. I forgot about this skill even if you didn’t team up. Here – I just received it.”

Youhuo took it and took a look.

The notice reads:

>Candidates wander around the rest area. Time 5:27 P.M. Register to form a team.

>In the case of team formation, the rest time of the team members will be adjusted appropriately, and the one with the least time remaining shall prevail.

>Team member Wu Li was originally scheduled to take the next subject at 8:30 tonight, so the exam time for the entire group has been moved up accordingly.

>After receiving the notification, arrange for relevant examination personnel to arrive at the subject selection location before 8:00.

The boss pointed to the clock on the wall: “It’s 7:30 now. It’s still a long way to go to the subject selection point. Hurry up, okay? Otherwise, I will be punished.”

“Okay.” When Yang Shu saw the notice, he lost his temper again: “Then it’s still too late to buy something for backup. I’m out of medicine. You-”

She said and glanced at the things in their hands: “…”

After staring for a moment, she said, “Have you moved the supermarket back?”

Qin Jiu said: “I’m not that rich yet, but common medicines are available here.”

Youhuo held up another bag and said, “There’s also food.”

Yang Shu: “Why did you buy so much food? You can still eat enough in the exam room, so the last one was a bit awkward.”

Qin Jiuchong tilted his head in confusion: “This gentleman only had a normal meal last time.”

Yang Shu: “Why?”

Qin Jiu: “Picky eater.”

“…”

Take.

This rest area is very large, and it’s a long drive from the hotel to the subject selection point.

When they arrived at the intersection, the time was neither fast nor slow, it was exactly 8 o’clock.

The intersection is still covered with white mist, exuding a cold damp smell in the night.

It’s like the outskirts of the city, without other pedestrians.

The driver honked his horn, turned around and drove away.

The headlights suddenly slid around the corner and disappeared quickly.

They walked through the white fog, and before the water vapor in front of them dispersed, they heard a calm female voice saying: “Someone is coming.”

Another female voice was slightly hoarse, but her tone was gentle: “The ones who can think of forming a team should be you guys.”

“It’s normal for him to be with you, but it’s a little weird to be with me.”

The fog disappeared and the familiar crossroads appeared again.

Two women, one tall and one short, were standing on the roadside. They were Wu Li and Shu Xue.

“Look! It’s really them!” Shu Xue was extremely happy and hurriedly came over: “We received a notice from the boss of the rest area, saying that we had to come over half an hour early, and someone registered to form a team. I knew it must be you!”

Another exam was over, and she still had a big belly.

Youhuo glanced at it and frowned slightly: “You…”

“Oh, this?” Shu Xue patted her belly nonchalantly, “While we were in the rest area, Sister Lili found a hospital to lend me equipment, but it didn’t have much impact for the time being. I thought about it, and now it’s easier than normal people to find someone with this BUG constitution or find an examination room. So I won’t touch it for the time being.”

Youhuo was about to speak, but Shu Xue whispered again: “It’s not easy for me to meet some of your friends… Anyway, I treat you as friends. I want to stay with you and don’t want to wander around alone.”

Not to mention anything else, this girl is really good at crying, and her eye circles are always red.

Youhuo was stunned for a moment, then swallowed his words.

Shu Xue observed for a few seconds.

As soon as the boss nodded, the red circles in her eyes instantly went back.

Youhuo: “?”

It’s been a while since we last met, and this girl actually learned how to deceive people?

On the side, Yang Shu and Wu Li were also happy.

“I told you how to form a team and you would pick me up.” Wu Li tucked her slightly long hair behind her ears, “How did you meet them?”

Yang Shu said, “This is a long time to mention.”

She and Wu Li are both very rational people in nature and seek stability.

On the first day they were brought in by the system, they were worried that they would get separated in the future. The two of them directly discussed the order of subject selection, which one to choose first and which one to choose later… so that they might be able to synchronize again one day.

“I put a lot of effort into the second exam. It took me many days, and it was slower than yours.” Yang Shu said, “It didn’t take you a few days to take the history exam, right? I just started after you finished the exam, and I met the two people who were retaking the exam.”

Wu Li nodded and said, “It’s good luck.”

“Yes!” Yang Shu boasted quietly: “It’s really amazing. If it weren’t for you two, I might really be in trouble.”

She paused and then said, “Not sure. Maybe if the situation becomes urgent, some candidates will catch the patient and chop him up, and then the whole thing will be done.”

Wu Li shook her head and said, “I don’t know about others, but you don’t know how. Otherwise, why study medicine?”

Yang Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled.

“But what about your hair? Why did you cut it?” Yang Shu asked.

“It’s too troublesome.”

“Who cut it? It looks like it was gnawed by a dog.”

Wu Li: “…me.”

Yang Shu said “Oh” and changed the subject. She pointed at Youhuo and said, “Senior sister, he has something to ask you.”

Wu Li was stunned for a moment and walked towards You Huo and Qin Zhu: “Xiao Yang said you wanted to see me for something?”

Yang Shu explained to the past: “He was recuperating abroad before, and the professor was his attending physician.”

Wu Li was surprised.

“Isn’t it strange?” Yang Shu said.

Wu Li nodded, she didn’t know what she thought of, her face was slightly solemn.

She stared at You Huo for a while, and then turned her gaze to Qin Jiu.

After a while, she looked back and muttered: “No wonder…”

“What’s so surprising?” You Huo asked.

“I asked Xiaoxue before if you two had any brain…problems.” Wu Li said politely in a serious tone.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while.

Yang Shu immediately said: “Literally, pathologically, it’s not swearing.”

You Huo and Qin Ju didn’t care, because strictly speaking, they were indeed, well… “sick in their brains.”

Wu Li simply explained further: “I mean I have been subject to external interference.”

“Can this be seen?” Qin Jiu asked.

Wu Li said: “The eyes, certain instantaneous reactions, and other… If you stare at a certain type of people every day for two years, you can see it.”

“For example?”

Wu Li thought for a while and said, “To give you the simplest example, the people I observed had traumatic experiences before, so their memories have been trimmed or transplanted to varying degrees, which can be regarded as a kind of treatment. They generally have a characteristic, they will have a habitual action that they often do. Some like to touch the tip of their index finger, and some like to cross their fingers and bump… etc., which all seem to be meaningless actions.”

“You know that when memory is disturbed, people are easily uneasy, suspicious, and wary of everything around them. They don’t like to have in-depth contact with anything because they are not sure whether it is true or not. To some extent, it will make people seem a little lazy, or a little unapproachable. This habitual action is like a… How should I say, a safety password? When doing this action, they will feel calm and at ease.”

“In other words, this is a kind of safe zone.”

“You always touch the side of your neck.” Wu Li imitated Qin Jiu’s movements, “and the chin here. Most people only have one habitual movement, but you have two, and the frequency is about the same, so there are changes in the middle.”

She said to Youhuo again: “You can touch earrings.”

“But this is just an example. Generally people with problems will have this kind of behavior, but it does not mean that people with habitual movements must have problems.”

Once Wu Li brings up serious matters, she tends to talk a lot.But she still stopped the car and said: “There are too many details like this. I have made twelve notebooks, and I basically change one every two months. Now let me say that I will definitely not be able to finish it.”

She looked at Qin Jiu and said, “You should have been disturbed more than once, at least twice.”

Qin Jiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

“Twice?” he frowned.

Because he only remembers it once, which is the amnesia he is experiencing now.

When was the other time?

Wu Li looked at You Huo again.

After a while, she shook her head and frowned and said, “You and I can’t tell, it looks like it but it doesn’t look the same at the same time.”

As he spoke, the atmosphere suddenly became a bit mysterious.

Wu Li said: “As for the projects I have participated in…that’s what you want to ask, right? It’s not convenient to talk about it here.”

She made a move that surprised Qin Zhu and You Huo.

She raised her eyes and glanced around, just like those invigilators who have been stared at for many years in the invigilation area, and then said: “Let’s look back and see if we can find a place with more privacy to talk.”

This is what Qin Zhu and You Huo paid most attention to, but they didn’t expect Wu Li to be like this too.

While talking, two more figures came into the white mist.

His face was not shown, but his voice came first.

“Brother!” Yu Wen shouted from a distance.

This statement actually made Youhuo feel like “it’s been a long time”.

he used to like to be quiet, but sometimes I felt that this cousin was too noisy because of his long “brother” and short “brother”.Lao Yu, on the other hand, smelled of alcohol and spoke like a stock market person, which was also very boring.

Now I feel that it is quite nice to hear such noisy screams again.

he is very happy.

However, You Huo’s happiness is generally invisible to the naked eye.

It depends on understanding.

“What happened to the leg?”

he asked, looking at the limping Lao Yu.

“It’s okay, I got sprained accidentally.” Lao Yu said.

Yu Wen was demolishing he next to him: “What? I just received the team formation notification and couldn’t find the direction. I just rolled the last two stairs, and I’m just a dog eating shit, that’s it.”

Lao Yu slapped the unfilial son on the back of the head: “Are you the one with the longest mouth?”

After saying that, the father and son looked at Youhuo with silly joy.

In just a short time, Lao Yu lost a lot of weight, and his originally flat face became wrinkled, showing more vicissitudes of life.

I heard that there was a scar on the side of my face, one knuckle long from the cheekbone down.He has also lost weight, and the outline of his eyebrows and eyes have become darker and have some sharp edges.

You Huo’s eyes stayed on the scar, and Yu Wen chuckled and said, “How about it, isn’t it pretty cool? I was scratched by a ghost’s claws during the exam.”

Speaking of exams, Youhuo remembered: “Why did you go to the political examination room?”

“Ah? How do you know?” Lao Yu was also stunned.

“I also went there later.”

“Why?”

“…punishment.”

Lao Yu said “Oh” coquettishly, and then smiled again: “You, really…”

Yu Wen cheered from the side: “My brother is awesome.”

“But we didn’t choose politics on our own. There was no politics to choose from among our five subjects.” Yu Wen said, “We chose history at the time, but somehow after entering, we ended up in the politics examination room. Later, it was said that there was a bug in the examination room, and the entrance might have been opened in the wrong direction, and we were trapped in it.”

Qin Jiu’s impression of Yu Wen was that of a “little fool making a fuss”, and he asked with interest, “How did you pass that exam?”

“Oh, my palms get sweaty when I talk about that exam.” Yu Wen said, “Lao Yu and I were tortured a few nights ago. We were so embarrassed that we ran away. But those students were more timid than us, so I calmed down a little. Then I thought of an idea -”

“Isn’t this a nightmare come true? For a veteran student like me, ghosts and monsters are actually not bad. All my nightmares are about exams. A pile of papers crashed down and buried me alive. Or the bell rang and I didn’t touch a single word of the big question.”

Yu Wen scratched his head and said, “Then I had an idea and told all the teachers in the grade to hand out papers to them. From morning to night, they would be asked the most crushing questions. The more pressure, the better. Those teachers were very cooperative and moved the monthly exam forward on the spot. It took 12 hours a day to take the exam for three days. The nightmares the students had were all the exam papers.”

“Then, it’s what I’ve been fantasizing about for many years – setting fire to the mountains, no, burning papers. Burning a whole school’s papers, and killing some of the remaining ghosts, we came out. Brother, am I smart?”

Youhuo: “…”

Qin Jiu: “…”

This is true.

Soon, the time came to 8:28.

In the security booth, the system’s voice rang again, reminding them to prepare to choose subjects.

“Is there no one around?” Yang Shu said, “Shall we go there?”

Youhuo said, “Wait a minute, there’s another one.”

“Who?”

Everyone looked at each other, most of the familiar people were here, and for a moment I couldn’t think of anyone else who was missing.

As soon as the question was answered, in the white mist not far away, there was a person arriving belatedly.

It was a short-haired woman with a pretty face, and her voice was crisp and aggressive: “I said who teamed up to pick me up, and it turned out to be you. What? You finally remembered me?”

Shu Xue said softly “Huh” and said, “Isn’t that the hotel owner of the rest area? The one named Chu.”

Qin Jiu was stunned for a moment and said, “Did you write about Chu Yue?”

Youhuo said: “I don’t find the resting place randomly, so I have to find someone directly.”

The two walked over one after another, and Chu Yue stood still in front of them.

She looked at Youhuo, then looked at Qin Jiu, and said with half emotion and half joking: “So… you two are together again? This is the third time.”
