    ☆, Chapter 13 Resting Place

    The road down the mountain was long, and everyone walked in unusual silence.

    Half of them were frightened by “the bald man turned into a hunter’s armor”, and half of them were frozen.

    The group of people walked for half an hour, half-supported and half-carried, and the monotonous scenery finally changed.The end of the pine forest suddenly opened up, connecting to the road at the foot of the mountain. There was a boundary monument erected diagonally on the roadside.

    On one side it says: Foothills of Cock Crying Mountain

    The other side says: 100 meters forward

    The name Cockcrow Mountain is easily reminiscent of the dead chickens hanging in the hunter’s cabin, which obviously refers to the mountain they came down from.

    But 100 meters ahead refers to the road directly ahead…

    The snow and fog directly ahead made it impossible to see anything clearly.

    “What’s the first 100 meters? The lower half is buried in snow?” Yu Wen’s lips trembled, and he was as cold as a stutter.

    He stuffed his hands in his pockets and was unwilling to stretch them out, and scraped the snow on the boundary marker with his shoes.

    Everyone asked: “What did you write?”

    Yu Wen shrank his feet and walked back: “Tudu Ououou is frozen hard and can’t be scratched.”

    There is still only half of the “100 meters forward” on the boundary marker. Apart from being clearer, there is no change at all.

    “It won’t happen again…” Zhou Jin said in a low voice with his face as cold as a ghost.

    Yu Wen: “No, no, no, if you just get through a game and then come back with a new one, isn’t that forcing people to die?”

    Everyone was silent and their steps hesitated.

    “How many people have died?” Youhuo said and walked forward.

    He’s voice is perfect for Feng Xue, and he can freeze people’s spirits when he opens his mouth.

    Everyone looked at each other in silence and quickly followed him.

    With You Huo leading the way, everyone couldn’t walk slowly at all.

    After a while, the outline of a house appeared in the snow and fog ahead.

    The shadow of the hunter’s cabin still remained in their hearts, so they were not very surprised when they saw the house.

    But everyone soon discovered that there was more than one house.

    They walked up a gentle slope and found a few sparse houses standing in front of them.

    To say it is a small town would be an exaggeration.This is like an unpopular mountain scenic spot. There are scattered residents at the foot of the scenic spot doing some tourist business. They can’t receive a few people a year and are always ready to close.

    The house closest to us had a light box hanging, with red letters on a white background reading: Accommodation, Heating, Catering.

    The focus is sharp and the appeal is fatal.

    Everyone couldn’t walk immediately.

    “How about we spend the night here?” Lao Yu said in a cautious tone.

    He thought he would receive a cold-eyed objection from You Huo, because it was difficult to judge whether it was safe here.

    As a result, his nephew came in faster than anyone else.

    Youhuo had been hungry for a long time.

    When trudging through the snow, his biggest regret was handing in his paper too quickly.

    If it takes a few more minutes, the beef in 922 will be cooked.

    It’s just that the invigilator No. 001 was so eye-catching that he was spoiled for choice.

    Thinking of Qin Zhu’s face…

    Youhuo touched his earrings and was in a bad mood.

    So, when the front desk of the hotel looked up, what he saw was He’s mourning face with a cold expression.

    Front desk: “…”

    The front desk was a young man who looked like a skinny monkey. He was quiet for two seconds, then turned around and shouted inside: “Boss! Someone is here!”

    “Shouting to the soul? Don’t you know how to greet the person coming?” The person who spoke was a woman. Her voice was so crisp that you could feel it through the door.

    “I’m afraid I’ll run away after greeting you.” The receptionist glanced at Youhuo and said sarcastically.

    “This is a hell of a place, tell me where you can go.” The innermost door of the corridor on the first floor opened, and a woman with short hair came out carrying a kitchen knife.

    The receptionist was startled, and even You Huo was stunned for a moment.

    “Boss, what are you doing?”

    “Oh, it’s okay.” The short-haired woman said, “I don’t want to go to the restaurant today, so I asked for some vegetables and meat from the other side, and I’ll make some myself.”

    She lowered her kitchen knife, smiled at You Huo and said, “Hey, handsome guy! Just finished the exam? Xiao Hu, please register.”

    With the boss’ support, Xiao Hu at the front desk said to Youhuo, “Can you tell me your name? I’ll see how many days you have to stay.”

    Lao Yuhe rubbed his hands and entered the door. When he heard what they said, his expression turned bad.

    “Just finished the exam? How did you know that we…”

    The boss raised his eyebrows and smiled like a mountain monster: “This is really strange. Can you please read this line?”

    She banged the wall with the back of her knife. Xiao Hu at the front desk stepped aside knowingly, revealing the complete wall surface, which read:

    Candidate rest area.

    Candidate resting area????

    Everyone’s expressions turned even uglier.

    Zhou Jin murmured: “I thought…”

    The boss was not surprised and said: “You thought you were not far from entering the city, right? It’s normal. It’s your first time entering the rest area, right? It’s like this for everyone.”

    Lao Yu asked: “Also, what do you mean by how many days we have to stay? It’s not up to us to decide how many days we have to stay?”

    The boss smiled even harder: “What a beautiful idea.”

    Lao Yu: “…”

    “Okay, no kidding!” the boss said, “There are regulations on how many days of rest you should take after each exam. You can’t stay as long as you want. Don’t waste time here, quickly report your name, why are you blocking the door?”

    The tattooed man was not happy when he heard this, and showed his recklessness: “Fuck, live in a ****! It’s a deadly store, whoever you really like will live in it, I’m leaving!”

    Who knew the boss was more reckless than he.

    She thrust the kitchen knife into the front desk, and Xiao Hu jumped three feet high.

    “Let’s go. If you don’t go, it’s your grandson.” The boss pointed to the door and said to the tattooed man.

    Tattooed man: “…”

    He glared angrily, wrapped his collar tightly, bit the zipper pull in his mouth, turned around and left.

    The accommodation registration and check-in gave off a quaint atmosphere.

    Everyone else looked at the kitchen knife at the front desk, whether to leave or stay, only Youhuo reported his name without changing his expression.

    Xiao Hu banged on the keyboard and said: “I checked, you have a total of 7 days of rest this time. From now on -”

    He turned his head and glanced at the wall clock on the wall: “Starting from 3:12 pm, you will automatically check out at 3:12 pm after 7 days. This is your room card.”

    Youhuo took the room card.

    The room number is written on the front of this card. Youhuo is 404.

    The boss glanced at him and added: “Oh, by the way, we don’t have any taboos about numbers here, so we are assigned numbers such as 404, 414, etc… It’s all about fate, don’t take it too seriously. After all, just because you can’t help but bring 4, doesn’t mean you won’t die in the exam, right?”

    She’s words made everyone’s faces turn green with comfort.

    Youhuo turned over the key card without raising his head.

    The first line on the back reads:

    Candidate Resting Area, Operator: Chu Yue

    Below is the admission ticket in tabular format:

    Name: Youhuo

    Admission ticket number: 860451-10062231-000A

    Subjects taken: Physics

    Cumulative score: 19

    Boss Chu Yue finally looked surprised: “You scored 19 points in one subject? You can’t tell!”

    Youhuo raised his eyes coldly.

    Chu Yue: “Oh no, I’m praising you! I’m praising you for having a face that can bring trouble to others. It’s a good name for you!”

    Youhuo: “…”

    She didn’t wait for You Huo to speak, she laughed and went back into the house with the kitchen knife.

    Xiao Hu thought for a while and recited the lines to Youhuo in a proper manner: “There is hot water and heating is in place. For those who have just entered, don’t rush to warm your hands, take a shower and get into bed. I will bring you a bucket of snow and wine in a while, and rub your exposed arms and legs before you go inside. 7 a.m., 11 noonThree meals are served on time at 0 and 5 pm. The dining hall is on the first floor, just around the corner.The three meals are two hours each, which means that the food will be stopped at 9 am, 1 pm, and 7 pm.

    After hearing this, Youhuo nodded and said, “Is there anything to eat?”

    Xiao Hu: “…No waiting until the expiration date.”

    Youhuo looked at him.

    he looked at Youhuo.

    Two seconds later, Xiao Hu turned around and shouted: “Boss! The guests want food!”

    Boss Chu claims that he is a superficial person who does things based on his appearance.

    Fortunately, there is Youqu in this group of candidates.

    Not long after, everyone warmed up and sat together in the canteen, eating dumplings made by Boss Chu himself.

    Yu Wen complained that he had no appetite and ate too much.

    After eating the hot food, my tense spirit finally relaxed a little.

    Everyone was a little drowsy, leaning against each other in their seats in a daze.

    Chu Yue said: “This group of candidates is really interesting.”

    Youhuo looked at her.

    On a snowy day, Chu Yue was holding a glass of ice beer.She took a sip and explained: “The group that came here to check in yesterday morning, there were only three people, so–”

    She pointed at the ceiling: “Except for meals, I don’t go out at all. I don’t even have meals. I only eat two bites before I’m full. I’m either in a daze or crying.”

    “Three people? What are they taking the exam for? How many people were there when we entered?” Yu Wen asked.

    “I’m just like you.” Chu Yue said in a matter-of-fact tone: “Everyone who has stayed at my place recently has passed the same exam.”

    Yu Wen: “…the same scene? The one with Hunter A? Only three people left?”

    Chu Yue said: “Three people is a bit small, but there are only five or six people. That is the norm.”

    “How many groups have you received?” Yu Wen thought of the hunter armor turned into a bald man, rubbed his goosebumps and said, “Isn’t there a lot of hunter armor?”

    Chu Yue said: “Of course not. When I say the same venue, I mean the same examination room. Only after we finish the exam and leave there can you go in.”

    She lowered her voice and said mysteriously: “Did you know? In some examination rooms, you can still find traces of past candidates. Last time I heard that someone picked up a finger bone, and someone also picked up a ring.”

    “You can try it.”
