In the stilted building, Li Jize shook his clasped hands against his forehead, and kept begging his grandpa to tell his grandma.

As always, Harry was the first to catch a footstep. "Brother Qi is back!"

After a few seconds, the wooden door opened.

The sound of rain amplified accordingly.

It felt so much like the scene where they had just met.However, when the three looked up, they saw a wet beast.

It is rare for Qi Yan to make himself like this.There were a few small wounds on his face, and he was soaked and dripping.And... those tired eyes turned red.

"Qi Yan..." Hua Xue's voice suddenly choked up.

The stupid big man next to him jumped up and held Qi Yan's shoulder: "Brother Qi! How long have you been in the shower?! Why are you running outside?!"

"Are you indifferent to brother Qi?" Ha Li also straightened up and grabbed the cold hand outside Qi Yan's sleeve.There is a wound on the hand, and it is itchy when touched by the warm little hand.

Qi Yan was stunned, looking at the three people speechless.It was indeed cold, but he was used to it.

Someone came to ask him, but he... was not used to it.

"I……"

"What about me, take off your clothes and dry them!" Hua Xue glanced at him with extreme disgust.

I wanted to ask him where he went and why?By the way, educate him again that he can't do this in the future.

But seeing how he came back, forget it...

As a girl, Hua Xue still dragged Harley out the door.

The door was closed again, Qi Yan wiped his bangs backwards, took off the sweater and put it beside the brazier.He also sat cross-legged next to the firelight.

The flames were blazing hot, and the flames flickered and flickered on the rain-drenched face.The rain did not stop, and he seemed to see the coast again, and the huge bonfire burned the bottom line of the group of people.

Like a shipwreck floating in the sea, grasping the tentacles of the sea monster as a life-saving straw.

only to be devoured.There is no other end.

"Brother Qi, I found wine from the tribal residents. Would you like to drink something to warm up?" At some point, Li Jize had already gone out and came back with a leather water bag in his hand.

Touching the half-dried jeans, Qi Yan moved a little away from the brazier, and reached out to take the water bag.Taking a sip, he couldn't help frowning.Spicy and a bit bitter.

Someone sat down next to him and looked at him silly: "I thought you would drink, Brother Qi."

Not only drinking, but based on his observation of Qi Yan, he even thought that this refrigerator-faced boss was some kind of legend in the underworld.

Well, after all, it's written like this in the novels I read in college.

A certain Yan with his upper body bare gave him a supercilious look.

"Tobacco, alcohol, tobacco and alcohol, where there is tobacco, there is alcohol. Sure enough, the standard equipment is not suitable for you." Li Jize continued to mutter.

Qi Yan closed his eyelids, trying to moisten his sore eyes.Suddenly the donkey's head didn't match the horse's mouth and asked: "Do you want to leave?"

"Ah? Where are you going?" The examinee next to him didn't seem to understand.

"Leave the system." Qi Yan put down the water bag, feeling that there was nothing left in his stomach.

leave?Li Jize touched the bridge of his nose, turned his face and smiled brightly, and said, "I think so. But... this is just the first book." It is uncertain whether he will live or not.

He leaned against the wall and continued: "I remember when the groups were just finished, it was that wooden building. In front of Sister Xue and Harley, I endured it all the time, but I was really scared in my heart."

"Fortunately, candidates with high scores can leave." Li Jize rolled his eyes and patted Qi Yan's shoulder vigorously, "I also have a chance to give it a try!"

If the score is high, you can go.

Little do they know that this only "way out" may slowly drive them crazy.In the last year's exam, Qi Yan saw too many, killing each other for the score...

He has seen too much.

He opened his tired eyelids under the orange light, "You..."

bang bang bang!

The knock on the door interrupted his words, and both of them looked at the wooden door vigilantly.

He heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door. "Guests, the chief invites everyone to the celebration banquet."

·

Carried banana leaves to the chief's stilted building, and there were two rows of people sitting in the dark.It seems that all the candidates have arrived.The main seat is empty, and the chief has not yet appeared.

The sweater was still a little damp, and Qi Yan sat closer to the fire.The flames flickered to illuminate this face, which was almost expressionless but looked strangely beautiful in the red light.

After sitting for a while, the empty seat next to him was filled, and the flames shook slightly.

"That... hello."

The tentative voice was timid and small.

He looked sideways, and the thin boy he met by the sea was sitting next to him, with wet black hair and a pale, low face.

"You...is your name Qi Yan?" You may have heard Hua Xue call his name.

Regarding the mosquito-voiced greeting, Qi Yan hummed coldly.The boy next to him got a response, and began to introduce himself scatteredly.

But one of our champions was not in the mood to listen at all, he only heard him finish speaking, stood up within two seconds, walked around to the dazed Li Jize, and patted his black sportswear. "Sit aside."

"Ah? Oh! Okay..." The fugue moved half a meter to the side.Still turned to look at the sullen Qi Yan, "Don't you want to bake clothes?"

"It's done." Qi Yan sat down, tapped the straw mat on the ground with his fingertips, and his eyes stopped on the half-closed wooden door.It was the small door the chief used to come and go, and probably led to the lounge.

Li Jize followed his gaze.Between the wooden door and the night is the light from the brazier. Although the light is faint, you can faintly see the dark river winding behind the door...

Could it be... blood? !

"Damn it! Then—uh!" The yell just broke out for two seconds before being blocked back abruptly.

"Hmm!..." Li Jize struggled reflexively, but his neck was locked tightly by a strong arm, and the wet and rain-smelling cloth stuck to his skin.

His head was aching and his ears were ringing.Is that really blood?Is... what kind of blood?

Since the two are now in the shadows, no one noticed them.

"Don't talk." Qi Yan's voice sounded in his ear, low and hoarse.

The girl next to him, Harry, also heard this sentence, and someone swallowed hard.

"You'll see something later, don't talk." The gray figure next to him spoke again, suppressing his throat.

Then came Huaxue's voice. "The smell of blood...is very strong."

Well, it is very heavy.When I first arrived, there was obviously no such smell, but during the half an hour of waiting, the smell came out, and it became stronger and stronger.

Li Jize nodded fiercely before the arms and hands let go of him.

squeak-

The door opened.

"Oh! My guests~" The voice was thick and powerful, obviously not the chief.

Maybe it was too rough, or maybe the figure was too strong, everyone in the room held their breath.The small voices of discussion were immediately drowned in the sound of crashing rain.

Only one person in the shadow did not bury his face. On the contrary, he squinted his eyes and stared at the shadow for a while, then said unconsciously: "Headhunter."

The big aboriginal man smiled, and only when he entered the room did others see his face clearly.Qi Yan glanced at the opposite side, and the candidates were all trembling with fright.

Old acquaintances, a few hours ago they were holding hands and singing around the campfire.

But now... this group of unresponsive candidates finally recalled the pile of bloody heads.

"Guests, who is the chief's friend?" The aborigine's smiling face was ferocious, as if he would reveal a blue-faced fangs anytime he put away the mask.

All eyes began to intersperse anxiously in the humid air, they were looking for someone.This kind of inquiry made them feel relieved, and some even stretched their necks and looked at it for a week.

Of course the person being sought was Qi Yan.

He sighed in the shadows, the sound was not loud, but enough to attract attention.

"Brother Qi." Li Jize grabbed Qi Yan and lowered his voice.He had never seen headhunters before, so he didn't know that they were ghosts holding people's heads around, but he could feel that those people were afraid of him.Especially afraid.

His master pulled back the damp gray cloth in his hand, and a slender figure walked towards the place where the light was most radiant.

When he arrived in front of the headhunter, he just stood still, didn't speak, and looked up into the big man's eyes.

The other candidates gasped and looked at the person who had left a deep impression on everyone.He was young and not strong enough, but he was not afraid, or even flustered.

"Oh, this friend." The headhunter looked at Qi Yan with a smile. "The Chief probably won't be able to come, so he appointed me to receive you."

reception?

Even if the word is chewed up and understood repeatedly, no one thinks it will be reception in the original sense.

"En." Qi Yan put his hand into the pocket of the sweater and nodded slightly.

Except for the small sound of firewood burning, the cabin was filled with the sound of rain, and the air pressure was extremely low.

"Okay, then please come with me, my friend." The headhunter smiled again, but his eyes looked at one place unconsciously.

The person opposite naturally caught this look, and looked sideways—it was the half-closed wooden door.He pursed his lips, just right, he didn't have to think about how to get in.So he opened his legs and walked over there generously.

"Qi—" Hua Xue had wanted to stop him a long time ago, but the native man stopped him with a look back as soon as he uttered his voice.The tall man made a silent gesture and smiled. "Don't do that, guest."

It's a pity that when he was smiling, he was held by a hand in front of him.

The picture seemed to freeze for a few seconds, like a cassette.Frightened, Hua Xue looked up, and there was a bony and strong hand outside the sleeve of the gray sweater, pulling the aborigine away with one force.

The NPC was also taken aback, after all, the exam just started this year.As first books, they are the best to scare new candidates.

"Let's go." The boy said a word flatly with a scarlet fire in his eyes.

He seemed to be in a hurry to leave, but everyone was suddenly shocked by his strong desire to protect.But this...can't anger them?Is this a deduction item?

It seems that this candidate is not very intimidating.The native paused for two seconds, but followed Qi Yan obediently.

Qi Yan pushed the door open and went in, and after the headhunter came in, he put on the last light with his foot.

Hit! The door was slammed shut.

The candidate outside licked his lips.

The author has something to say: Qi Yan: Do you want to coax...

Qin Mo (wronged): What do you think?
