    ☆, Chapter 31 Burning the examination room

    The experience of the last game tells us that the questions in the exam do not necessarily need to be completed one by one.

    Those that are not critical can be skipped, as long as the candidates can bear the consequences of not writing answers, such as no points to mark when collecting papers.

    There are three ways to end an exam: one is to be wiped out, one is to stay up for a long time, and the other is to answer key questions in advance.

    The key question for Hunter A is to find that set of tableware.

    The key question here is this reading – giving away those dolls and finding the way home.

    Before this, everyone thought that giving away dolls would be a long process.

    Just like what Zhao Wentu wrote in his answer diary, everyone got together and found the owners of some of the dolls by guessing.Complete a portion of it every day and be careful to see it through to the end.

    I never expected that Jin Thigh was too slow and wanted to finish it in one night.

    18 households, one night?

    Are you kidding…

    It’s not that you don’t believe in Youhuo, it’s that they really have no bottom.

    When we returned to the hut, it was very late at night.

    The room in Youhuo’s room remained as if everyone had left, but the water on the coffee table had become cold and the edges of the dry bread were white, making it look even more unpalatable.Only the fire burned brightly.

    Youhuo walked around the sofa and suddenly asked: “Where is the bag?”

    “Bag? What bag?”

    No one reacted.

    You Huo was about to say “pretending to be a baby” when he saw Qin Jiuchong raised his chin towards the stove.

    Everyone followed and looked over.

    On the knitted carpet next to the stove, a dusty cloth bag fell to the ground. One of the dolls fell directly out of the cloth bag and landed next to the fire.

    As long as the flame tongue jumps a little wider, it can be burned.

    “Why did you drop it here?!” Yu Wen hurried over and picked up the bag and doll.

    You Huo pointed to the sofa and said, “It was placed over there before. Who touched it?”

    Everyone looked at each other, unable to answer.

    Lao Yu said: “When we found you in the coffin, we grabbed the rope and rushed out. Maybe someone misplaced it in the panic?”

    But when they recalled it carefully, they were sure that they had not touched it.

    Could it be that… they moved on their own?

    Imagine that the scene was a bit weird, and no one dared to think about it.

    Yu Wen muttered: “If we burn one that doesn’t match the number, we will be in misery.”

    He picked up the doll by one leg and said, “It’s just a little bit close. Look, there’s a scorched spot here.”

    “And here and this half of the clothes -” Yu Wen turned the doll over.

    Youhuo interrupted: “These two places existed before.”

    Yu Wen was stunned: “Ah?”

    This doll was one of the last four that Hei Po added, and You Huo noticed at that time that there were traces of fire on it.

    “So it was almost burned before?” Yu Wen held the doll and said, “So many disasters? Do disasters count as clues? Has anyone in the village been burned by fire?”

    Yu Yao said: “Zhao Wentu.”

    Everyone was stunned, even You Huo looked at her.

    Yu Yao felt uncomfortable being looked at: “Uh…it’s just the villagers.”

    She was embarrassed to call others “crazy”, and said with a red face: “Maybe I have a little bit of mysophobia, and I always notice that other people’s clothes are not clean. He There is a lot of ashes on the sleeves and sides of the clothes, and there are burnt spots on the back of the clothes. It doesn’t necessarily mean that they have been burned, I just think… maybe.”

    After she finished speaking, she stopped saying anything and sat there with a red head.

    “That makes sense!” Yu Wen looked at the doll and said, “If there are really these traces, it should be he!”

    Youhuo said “hmm”.

    he nodded, and everyone felt relieved instantly.

    This scene is like a scumbag asking a top student to find the answer. If he accidentally gets it right, he will be very happy because he is stable.

    Zhao Wentu wrote in his diary that they felt that the doll looked a bit like villager A, so they gave it to him.

    So the key to giving gifts is to find the similarities between the doll and the villagers.A doll represents a villager.

    “Suddenly I felt like I was playing a game…” Yu Wen held a bag of dolls in his left hand, shook one of them with his right hand, and said, “Guess who I am?”

    “Then guess.” Lao Yu pointed at he: “Put it down and don’t cause trouble!”

    The dolls were lined up, and everyone sat in a circle around the sofa.

    After staring at each other for a minute, they collapsed.

    Guess what!

    Except that Zhao Wentu’s doll was burned by fire, there are obvious differences.Other he dolls have no special features at all, the differences are negligible, but the commonality is very obvious: they are all ugly.

    A few threads sewn on the cloth ball can be said to be eyes and nose, and the cloth piece can be wrapped into clothes.

    Who are you trying to piss off by holding this up and saying to the villagers, “This represents you”?

    “Are there any birthmarks or anything?” Chen Bin raised his hands and asked awkwardly: “Can you take off your clothes…?”

    “If you take it off, can it fight back or something?” Old Yu said with a sad look on his face: “But there is a problem. Even if a birthmark is found under the clothes, can you go pick up the villagers to confirm it?”

    Chen Bin: “…”

    Although the words are rough, the truth is correct.

    What’s more, there are still so many villagers who have been locked in their houses all day long and never come out at all.

    Zhao Wentu said that only by knocking on their door three times and saying “I will give you a gift” will the villagers open the door.

    Once the door is opened, the candidates must deliver the correct doll without making any mistakes before they go back into the house.

    Everyone looked at the doll in silence, and once again fell into the ultimate question in the examination room——

    What should I do about this horse?

    “What time is it now?” Youhuo suddenly said.

    Everyone looked at he, and then at Qin Jiu.

    Qin Jiu took out his mobile phone: “It’s 2 o’clock in the middle of the night. Even if I don’t close the paper, there are still five and a half hours left.”

    Youhuo: “That’s enough.”

    Qin Zhu: “Are you sure?”

    Youhuo took a sip of water, said “hmm” in a muffled voice, and swept the doll into the bag.

    He stood in the room and scanned around, pointing to a few things: “Rope, knife, cloth, take whatever you can find.”

    “Oh.”

    Everyone followed suit.

    They got all their things and followed Youhuo to the door before they suddenly became confused: “What are you going to do?”

    You Huo said: “Robbery.”

    Everyone: “???”

    Qin Zhu suddenly laughed deeply.

    A deep voice sounded nearby, which could easily make people’s ears uncomfortable.

    “Go to the side and laugh.” Youhuo tilted his head with a sullen face, and said to the other person: “Don’t be stuck, can you leave?”

    Everyone: “…let’s go, let’s go.”

    Soon, they stood in front of a small house.

    The sign on the door of the house reads: No. 4, Chasu Village.

    Tuk-tuk-tuk.

    Youhuo knocked on the door in front of him: “I’ll give you a gift.”

    Everyone waited with bated breath for a moment, and there was really a rustling in the door.

    This should be the sound of footsteps, but it sounds like the sound of cloth rubbing and dragging on the floor.

    Everyone remembered the words in Zhao Wentu’s diary, he said that he had hands and feet, but they were soft to the touch, like cotton wool…

    It’s scary and a little sad.

    With a creak, the door opened.

    Zhao Wentu poked his head out, his face was weathered and his expression was numb, and the white hair on his temples shone dimly under the moonlight.

    he stared at You Huo with his dark eyes without blinking, and asked slowly: “What gift?”

    You Huo took out the waterproof bag and the doll that had been burned by the fire, and said, “A diary, and a doll representing you named Zhao Wentu.”

    The moonlight stretched the shadow very long, covering Zhao Wentu’s face.

    He stood frozen in the light and shadow for a long time, and his eyes finally revealed a faint light.

    “Zhao… Wen… Tu…” He looked at the simple doll and repeated the name slowly. Because he hadn’t spoken it for so long, the pronunciation was a bit unfamiliar.

    “Zhao Wentu…” he read it again.

    He stood there and murmured it more than ten times, then suddenly burst out laughing, leaning forward and back.

    “Don’t you go crazy again?” Old Yu said worriedly.

    Zhao Wentu didn’t hear it.

    He laughed for a long time, started to cry again, then grabbed the two gifts, knocked You Huo away hard and ran into the woods with the others, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

    “Is this… relief? Where is he going?”

    “I don’t know.” You Huo walked away as if he didn’t care about the result at all.

    In a blink of an eye, they were standing in front of another house.

    This time it is No. 1 in Chasu Village, the house of Villager A.

    Everyone looked worried and hesitated to speak.

    We have never even met this villager A, let alone matched up with the doll. How can we give it to him?

    Hand the bag over and say smoke whatever you want?

    Just as he was about to retreat, You Huo knocked on the door.

    “Open the door and give the gift.”

    “…”

    Okay, I can’t go back.

    Everyone watched numbly as the door opened, and the unfamiliar villager asked Youhuo, “What gift?”

    You Huo went up and put a hemp rope around the other person’s neck, twisting and twisting it three times to tie him up firmly.

    Villager A: “???”

    Everyone collapsed on the spot: It was really a robbery…

    Youhuo tugged the rope and put the other end into Yu Wen’s hand: “Don’t let go. I’ll find you if I lose it.”

    Yu Wen clutched the rope and met A, looking confused and at a loss.

    By the time everyone came to their senses, You Huo was already standing in front of Villager B’s door.

    They watched helplessly as the boss raised his sinful hand and said: “Open the door and give gifts.”

    Then, Lao Yu also had one more person in his hand.

    half an hour.

    In just half an hour, they sacked the whole village.

    There are 19 people in 18 houses. Except for Zhao Wentu, who has gone crazy, they are all tied to them, including the village chief and his old mother.

    This is the most outrageous greeting that all the villagers in Chasu Village have ever received.

    They found an open space by the river and gathered the villagers together according to Youhuo’s instructions.

    “Then what?” Lao Yu asked.

    Youhuo took out the cloth bag, poured out all the dolls, and then pushed the huge pile in front of the whole village: “We have brought Hei Po’s gift.”

    Villager: “…………………………”

    “Is this even okay?”

    The old people’s eyes popped out, but then they thought: That’s right, the title didn’t say that they must be sent separately.

    There was silence by the river.

    Then the whole village went crazy on the spot.

    A dozen dolls are like a dozen hands, suddenly tearing apart the illusion of peace.

    The villagers screamed and struggled, losing their minds and gaining strength.

    They broke off the rope and rushed over like crazy, attacking everyone in sight.

    This kind of crazy method is completely different from Zhao Wentu’s. Everyone was unexpected and couldn’t resist it.

    Although they brought knives, they were used as a threat.Knowing that the villagers were candidates, no one could do anything.

    During the fight, there was sudden movement in the forest.

    The crawling sound of thin ropes came from all directions.

    When You Huo turned around, his pupils suddenly shrank.

    The ghost hands that came out this time were not one or two, nor were they more than a dozen…

    All the people who had been buried under six feet of loess in the woods and wilderness, all the limbs and trunks that had been chopped off in this exam over the years, were all emerged.

    It would not be an exaggeration to say that this movement subverted the examination room.

    Screams rang out, and everyone pulled each other and ran wildly, chased by ghost hands.

    “Take them into the woods!” Youhuo said.

    “Still going into the woods? Why?!!!”

    Asking why, everyone still went around in circles. The fastest speed and the highest physical strength in their lives were all forced out here.

    The cold touch of the bone-chopping knife reached out from behind countless times, brushing against his face and scalp.

    This “just a little bit” threat is scarier than anything else.

    Soon, everyone was scattered in all directions by the tide of residual limbs.

    Youhuo jumped over the tree trunks of the horizontal bow, and scanned the surrounding trees with his eyes, quickly calculating the density.

    Ever since Zhao Wentu ran into the woods, he has been thinking about one thing: What is liberation here?

    According to what the diary said, giving away the doll was a relief.

    But that was Zhao Wentu’s understanding. As a candidate, he only saw part of it.He saw that he had given a doll to villager A, and saw that villager A was gone the next day, so he connected the two as cause and effect.

    Now it seems that a key link is obviously missing.

    Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been hunted down so embarrassingly.

    Something must be done to calm the resentment of these stumps and allow those candidates to rest in peace.

    Youhuo has been thinking about this issue.

    Then, he thought of the doll that had been burned by fire.

    Whether it’s a doll or Zhao Wentu, why do fire marks appear again and again…

    Why do the villagers say that the custom in Chasu Village is burial and not cremation…

    After thinking about it, there is only one reason——

    Burial will confine them here, cremation is the true rest.

    Youhuo spotted a place that was very easy to ignite, and thought this was it. He would bring those arms and legs over and burn a nest here. The timing was just right.

    He stopped for a moment and planned to take out the lighter, light it and throw it on the tree.As a result, he put his hand into his pocket and his eyebrows jumped.

    No more.

    Pockets are empty.

    Youhuo: “…”

    It must have been lost in the jostling before…

    But sometimes, even a second of pause can be fatal.

    In just a moment, countless pale ghosts had already blocked the way, forming an encirclement in an instant.

    The most terrible thing is that there is a drowsy fog miasma

    The moment the stump of the limb suddenly rose, Youhuo pressed his fingers against the tree trunk and wrote a few words quickly.

    So fast that I didn’t even have time to think.

    When he suddenly realized that what he wrote didn’t seem to be 001, a ball of fire suddenly burst out from the flying stump.

    It’s like throwing a spark into hot oil, and the fire is rushing around the moment it hits the ground.

    The trees here are tangled and more likely to burn than anything in reality.

    In an instant, the endless deep forest burned into a sea of ​​fire.

    Countless pale limbs branched out from the flames, then fell silently and turned into burnt mud.

    Youhuo squinted his eyes in the firelight, and his light-colored eyes were coated with a bright color.He’s eyes crossed the flaming tongues and fell farther away.

    There, Invigilator 001 threw the empty oil drum into the fire.

    The fire suddenly opened, and he strode forward under the light. There was a hint of arrogance in the smile at the corner of his mouth, which was a little more energetic than the usual boredom.

    The entire examination room was burned to the ground by his hands, and all the walking zombies who circled around were not caught in the flames.

    Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

    The author has something to say: Red envelopes have been distributed. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t receive them. There will be more next time.
