[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 123 [English]
byChapter 123 Landed in a box┃ Candidates are confused, the cumulative score in the first stage is: 99%, and they are temporarily not entitled to enter the shelter
They returned the same way under the leadership of the invigilator. They didn’t go very far before Yu Wen gave up because the woods along the way were full of graves.
“You guys are so miserable. Don’t you feel panic living here?” Yu Wen asked.
“No.” 154 said calmly.
922 opened his mouth and closed it silently.
After a while, he said as if he had a toothache: “The invigilator is fearless.”
They finally walked out of the endless mountain forest cemetery and saw the town down the gentle slope.
“Go down the gentle slope. This town is the examination room. We can only send it here.” 154 said.
[It is detected that the candidate is wandering back to the examination room, please ask the invigilator to leave.】There is a telephone pole next to the woods, and the radio on the pole is rustling.
“Okay, let’s take a step first.”
The invigilators said hello and turned to leave.154 walked for a while and suddenly looked back, blinking at You Huo and Qin Zhu.
“What’s going on?” Chu Yue noticed this little movement and asked You Huo in a low voice.
“Just tell us that we are covered.” Youhuo said.
154 said that the system will definitely detect whether they are admitted, so the mask can only be turned on after entering the examination room.
This little action just now is the agreement between us.Blinking your eyes means that the mask has been opened and you are free.
“Cover?” Chu Yue was surprised, “Is this what I understand?”
“Yes.” Qin Zhu looked around and said, “Can you feel the changes?”
People like us, who have lived under surveillance for many years, can detect any slight changes – the sense of omnipresent surveillance in the air has indeed disappeared.
Chu Yue said: “I can feel it. Do you know what I thought of?”
Qin Jiu: “What?”
“I feel like a person who has eaten too much and has a round belly. Now I suddenly loosen my belt.” Chu Yue said, “It’s so comfortable. How did you do it?”
“What do you think?” Qin Jiu said with a smile, “Someone can help.”
Chu Yue looked behind her and saw that the invigilators had disappeared, leaving only a white mist at the end of the forest.
“154?” she said softly.
This matter needs to be explained. Fortunately, Chu Yue is very smart and can make a rough guess based on the results.As for the specific ones, there is no need to ask on the road.
Going down the gentle slope is a driveway, with a huge black sign erected on the side of the road with white letters on it:
Brandon Town 200m
“Is this the brand we have seen before?” Yu Wen muttered.
When we went to the invigilation office, we also saw such a sign.
“Is this it? No way.” Shu Xue stared at the sign and said.
You Huo also felt that it didn’t look like it.
“But the road is the same. I remember this bend. The fir tree next to it was struck by lightning. Look at the dark patch.” Shu Xue pointed to a tree with half of it dead.
She often shuttles around the examination room, and when she goes to a place, she always subconsciously looks for something iconic to avoid finding the wrong place.
Youhuo stared at the sign for a while.When he raised his hand to touch the earrings, he finally understood what the blame was.
“The sign has changed places.” Youhuo said, “From the left to the right.”
That’s why when he raised his hand, he felt the scenery was indescribably awkward.
“It’s not just the signs.” Qin Zhu said: “The whole road has changed direction.”
It’s like someone made a mirror flip of this scenery.
The road that turned left turned to the right, and the cedar tree on the left stood on the right… Everything turned to the other side, like an axially symmetrical copy and paste.
They turned the corner with a strange look on their faces and saw a familiar sight.
Xueli’s small building stood on the roadside, and the basketball court stood opposite it. There was a long straight street between the two, cutting off the road they were walking on.
The coastline can be vaguely seen at one end of the street, while the other end is hidden in the white mist.
The street radio rustled, and the system voice appeared again:
[It is now 11:55, five minutes before the official start of the second phase of the exam. All candidates are asked to make final preparations to come out of the shelter.】
Shelter?
Youhuo looked around. The only place that could be called a shelter was Xueli’s house…a small building where all three members of the family were dead.
In the examination room, the candidates stopped what they were doing.
They reacted after being stunned for a few seconds, put on their backpacks, and carefully opened the door.
There are still lonely streets and lonely basketball hoops outside, and the scenery has not changed at all.
[Brandon Town is a beautiful and peaceful coastal town with a total of 50,000 residents. They have always lived a happy and comfortable life.But in the past few years, the small town of Brandon has gradually become weird.】
[At first, someone suddenly disappeared, and the police were called but could not be found.The townspeople comforted the poor family members of the missing persons, feeling a little panicked, but it did not affect their normal lives.Later, the person who called the police and the police officers disappeared, and everyone realized that things were a little bad.】
[However, this bad life did not last long. Soon, the missing people reappeared one after another, saying that they accidentally got lost in the mountains, or were a little depressed and went out to relax without telling anyone.The townspeople of Brandon were enthusiastic and simple. They believed these words and quickly put the disappearances behind them.Until one day, they discovered a new problem.】
“As expected of a joint exam, the questions are so long…” Yu Wen muttered.
The system was still talking non-stop, but this time it changed its nature and wanted to explain the background clearly.
[…Those townspeople who had gone missing and returned began to make frequent jokes, not distinguishing between left and right, driving in the wrong direction, and even taking the wrong way home.Later, other people discovered that the left-handers among them had become right-handers, and they always held and put things in the opposite direction.】
Youhuo suddenly remembered the diary of Xueli’s parents, which once wrote a paragraph, saying that their wallpaper and low cabinets were made with the help of enthusiastic neighbors. Unfortunately, the cabinet doors were installed backwards, and so was the wallpaper.
[The townspeople finally realized that the missing person had not come back at all. What came back was not the original one, but a monster.They call this kind of monster a mirror person.From then on, the whole Brandon fell into a nightmare, because the mirror people were always extremely hungry, but their strength and speed were much higher than normal people.There are only two ways to relieve their hunger, throw a living person into a mirror, or drink their blood.】
[The townspeople were unwilling to wait for death and began to resist. They made crossbow arrows specifically for killing mirror people and hid them in every corner of the town. Three arrows can kill a mirror person.】
[The mirror people are not to be outdone. They are constantly growing their team. A full mirror person can use the mirror to create a similar person every three days.】
[There are several magical floor-to-ceiling mirrors scattered around the town. Each floor-to-ceiling mirror can swallow up to 5 living people a day, and 50 arrows can break a mirror.】
Old Yu covered his head and said, “Wait a minute, I’m a little dizzy. What kind of nonsense is this? I feel like it’s just a bunch of sentences, and I’m trying to force it out.”
Wu Li said: “Don’t worry about anything else, just remember two numbers, 5 and 3.”
Yu Wen: “Putting these two numbers together makes me dizzy.”
Wu Li was puzzled: “Why?”
Yu Wen: “A big gift package for students across the country, five years of college entrance examination and three years of simulation.”
Wu Li: “…then just follow this note.”
“Oh.” Yu Wen clapped his fingers and muttered: “A mirror can eat 5 people a day, and 50 arrows can destroy a mirror. Then 3 arrows can kill a mirror-faced person, and the mirror-faced person will get pregnant every three days.”
Lao Yu: “I may have Alzheimer’s disease early, I’m still very dizzy.”
Yu Wen said: “Show off your usual energy when buying things and settling accounts.”
He They are pretty good, at least there are many people, and there is still room for talking and discussion.
Other candidates in the he examination room rolled their eyes.
Fortunately, after several exams, we all have experience. We turned on the recording on our mobile phones early and recorded all the questions to avoid not hearing clearly.
At this point, the system has not let them go and is still beeping.
Qin Jiu suddenly lowered his head and said, “When I get a chance later, I’m going to check my ears.”
Youhuo was stunned: “Injured?”
“No, I just suddenly realized that the system’s voice is a bit like yours, but I didn’t notice it at all before.”
Youhuo: “My voice is like this???”
In fact, the timbre is really similar, and there should be elements of the original simulation in it.But add tone and intonation, and you get two completely different results.One is so nice that one can’t help but want to make him talk.
The other… makes you want to blow it up.
Qin Zhu soon regretted it.
Because Mr. Examiner A decided to be a cold and arrogant mute after hearing what he said.
[Warm reminder: Townspeople without crossbows are powerless, so they are afraid of being alone and will always act in groups.But too many people are not safe. More than 10 people (including 10 people) gathered together are like a freshly baked roast chicken, which will attract all the people in the mirror within 500 meters. Please be careful.】
“So we have to play the role of townspeople.” Qin Jiu heard the meaning from these words.
Youhuo didn’t even say “hmm” anymore, he just nodded.
Qin Jiu: “…”
The system finally finished introducing the suffocatingly long questions and began to announce the test method. As expected, it said:
[The exam at this stage is participatory, and all candidates will be ordinary citizens by default after entering Brandon Town.As of now, there are 2,019 ordinary citizens left in the entire town of Brandon, and 1,022 mirror people.】
All the candidates in the joint examination room frowned when they heard these two numbers.
This is the information after adding them, which means that when they enter Brandon Town, there may be two Mirror Men for every three people they encounter!
Who is this mother trying to scare?
[Every hunting behavior that occurs in the examination room will result in the addition and subtraction of scores.If you perform actions that are consistent with your identity, you will gain points, and if you do otherwise, you will lose points.】
[Example: When Candidate A is an ordinary town citizen, if he kills a mirror man, he will gain 3 points; if he accidentally kills an ordinary town citizen, he will lose 3 points; if he destroys a mirror, he will gain 10 points.If you break a weapon, 5 points will be lost.】
You Huo keenly captured a word – when you are an ordinary town citizen.
What does this mean?
Is it possible that candidates still have time to be mirror people?
He gave Qin Zhu’s elbow and opened his mouth to speak.
But thinking about the sound, he shut his mouth again under Qin Zhu’s eyes.
Qin Jiu: “…”
Mr. 001 is very desperate. How can he, Mr. A, condescend to speak out?
However, Youhuo didn’t say anything, but others started talking.
“No wait, we will enter the town soon, and we will definitely have no weapons in our hands. What if we are unlucky and bump into a large wave of mirror-faced people?” Yu Wen said: “It makes no sense. Is this a joint examination room or a joint cemetery?”
In the entire joint examination room, he was not the only one to complain like this.
The system seemed to be answering, and added:
[Townshipers without weapons can try to run to the nearest shelter.There are a total of 10 shelters in the coastal area of Brandon Town. Please remember the appearance of the small building behind you, because the shelter looks exactly like it.Candidates who hide in shelters can avoid being attacked.】
[The maximum hiding time is 2 hours, and each shelter can hide up to two candidates.Not all candidates have the right to enter the shelter. All candidates are ranked according to their scores. The top 50% of candidates with real-time score rankings have the right to enter the shelter at any time, while the bottom 50% of candidates are not allowed to enter the shelter.】
[The entry score is calculated based on the results of the first stage.】
Yu Wenhe’s faces turned pale.Because we were focused on doing things in the last round, we didn’t write down a few correct answers, but we wrote down a lot of wrong answers, and even missed one question.
Immediately afterwards, each candidate heard his or her score and ranking.
The broadcast cut to a single line and said without emotion:
[The candidates are confused. The cumulative score of the first stage is: 99%. They are temporarily not entitled to enter the shelter. Keep up the good work.】
After reporting their scores, a tattoo-like word appeared on the back of everyone’s hand, marking this shameful result.
Yu Wen rubbed it twice and said, “It can’t be wiped off.”
Yang Shu said: “Maybe the real-time scores and rankings will be displayed here later.”
All eight of them are the same.
Finally…
After taking turns to strike, the system said:
[The end of the road is the main urban area of Brandon Town. The first-stage examination room will disappear in 5 seconds. I wish you good luck.】
Behind him, billowing white mist began to engulf Xueli’s small building.
Youhuo grabbed Qin Zu and strode toward the end of the road.
The town of Brandon is finally revealed in full.
It was different from what we had seen before. There were no red and white roofs, no lush flowers and plants, only deserted streets and gray buildings.
It’s a cloudy day here, and eight out of ten streetlights are broken, flickering with poor contact.
It’s like London in a certain century. The upper half of the house is submerged in gray fog. The visibility is not very high. If the protection is not good, a person will suddenly rush out.
But the whole town was extremely quiet, as quiet as a dead city.
“Where are all the townsfolk and mirror people?”
“They’ve all been hidden. Who would be strutting around on the street?”
“We seem to be.”
“…”
Qin Jiu shushed and listened carefully.
There seemed to be footsteps not far away, echoing in the mist.The only ones who dare to take to the streets at this time are probably the candidates who just rushed in.
The other party realized that he was making a lot of noise, and the sound of footsteps was quickly suppressed.
The surroundings were quiet again, which was a little unsettling.
“Look for weapons first.” Qin Jiu lowered his voice.
As mentioned in the title, the townspeople made crossbow arrows specifically designed to kill Mirror Man and hid them in every corner of the town.Since he is a poor student who ranks in the 99th percentile, he must have the consciousness to give up his shelter and prepare to fight hard. First of all, he needs a weapon.
Youhuo has already set his sights on a place.
It was a small cinema, like a dome.The huge light sign had fallen off, faded, and was covered with dust. I don’t know how long it had been out of business.
The stone statue at the door fell to the ground, blocking most of the door.The window glass next to it was shattered to the ground, and there were blood stains left on the edge from an unknown age.
Youhuo made a gesture and walked towards the window softly.
Yu Wen looked at the building and felt that the place had a large space, many things, and probably a lot of people.
He suddenly felt like he was playing a real chicken game, and he took the lead and jumped to the airport.
He will soon have the achievement of landing in a box.
