Earth Exam [Unlimited]

It was said that the invigilator was already in place, but from the opening to the end of the system, except for the candidates, there was no one suspected of being the invigilator.

Or maybe the invigilator sneaked into the candidates after disguising himself.

Either way, it doesn't sound too good.

"Quick! Hurry up! Get in!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly yelled, like boiling oil into water, it exploded in an instant.Candidates flocked into the gate of the museum, afraid that if they were a little late, the clues would be cut off.

Jane quietly followed at the end of the line. He didn't rush in, but walked to the front of the high-heeled stone sculpture. The mosaic around the stone sculpture had disappeared.

This stone sculpture is indescribably... ugly.

At that time, we were far away and could only vaguely see the shape of high-heeled shoes. When we got closer, we realized that it was not so much a stone carving of high-heeled shoes, but rather a pitted stone that happened to resemble high-heeled shoes.

The surface of the stone carving is undulating, some places have been violently knocked off a large piece, and some places protrude, and the surface has not been polished, so it looks particularly rough, which is quite the essence of abstract art.

Below the stone carving is a stone platform, and the characters engraved on it are made of bright red paint, which looks like blood.

"The crystal reflects the most beautiful light. Narcissus, immersed in a dream, died of hypocrisy and sorrow."

There is a cursive signature at the bottom... Rhodopis.

Not the widely circulated Cinderella, but the earliest, Rhodopis in Greek legend.

The girl who became the prototype of Cinderella later.

"Narcissus, the beautiful boy in Greek mythology, fell in love with his own reflection in the water, and eventually died and turned into a daffodil."

A baby-faced girl standing beside Jian Qiao was wearing a pink Lolita skirt with a pair of ponytails. The hem of the skirt was held up by the bustle, and the layers of lace and bowknot made her very cute.

"Is this story a Greek version?" She frowned in distress, looking at Jian Qiao, "Student, do you want to cooperate?"

There were four or five scattered candidates who were not in a hurry to go in. When they heard the girl's invitation, they all looked over at the same time.

"This is an exam."

"But the exam didn't say that team formation is not allowed." The girl tilted her head, her ponytail hair fell on her shoulders, "Theoretical exams should be different from practical exams—"

Before she could finish her sentence, she was staggered by a force behind her.

"Zhizhi!"

The boy behind the girl looked very bad, he pulled the girl to his side fiercely, "Let's go in and look for it!"

As he said that, he gave Jane another sharp look, turned his head and raised his voice to the girl: "I'm your boyfriend!"

The girl smiled at Jane apologetically, and comforted her boyfriend in a low voice: "Okay, okay, let's go find it, okay?"

——The tone was like coaxing a child, with a bit of carelessness.

But the boy didn't feel anything.

The two of them walked away, and the rest of the people around did not dare to strike up a conversation with Jian Qiao. Apart from the important reason of being afraid of the rules of the exam, Jian Qiao herself didn't seem to be approachable, she was calm and repulsed.

Jian Qiao didn't care what other people thought. He walked around the stone carving and found an extremely serious scratch on what could be called the heel. Some dark red remains.

Otherwise, there is nothing left.

Seeing that there were no more useful clues, Jane turned around quietly and walked straight to the gate of the museum.

The few people around the stone sculpture looked at each other, and finally chose to enter the museum, but there was a distance of several meters between them and Jian Qiao.

The stone carvings inside and outside the museum are not in the same style at all.

The museum can be described as magnificent. From the ceiling to the ground, it is all transparent glass without the slightest variegation. Although no lights are seen, every corner is illuminated transparently, like daylight, without a little shadow, and all kinds of complex The relief remains on the surface of the glass and is brought to life by the reflected light source.

The entire first floor of the museum is full of crystal swans with their heads held high and wings ready to fly, and each swan has a crystal display case on its back.

Icy and beautiful.

On the side near the door, there are beautifully carved, boxy crystal cabinets held behind swans with different postures. They are somewhat different from other crystal cabinets - the number on the lower left corner outside the cabinet is golden, which is very conspicuous .It seems to be purposely telling others that these showcases are special.

Jane quietly walked in front of the first swan. In the cabinet on the back of the swan, a bird with wings spread out was carved on the surface of the crystal shoe, and a sentence was engraved on the front of the toe of the high-heeled shoe—"Little bird eyes that see through all pretense."

This refers to... the little bird that helped Cinderella see through the conspiracy of her stepmother and sister?

Engraved on the second pair of high heels is an ancient clock——

"At midnight, an illusion is an illusion."

The third pair of high heels are full of flowers and full of vitality...

"Flowers will wither eventually."

The fourth pair of high heels is carved with a scepter and crown…

"People's hearts will be corrupted by power."

The fifth pair of high heels is engraved with rolling clouds...

"The dream began to change beyond recognition."

Jian quietly looked at each pair of crystal shoes, the patterns on each pair of crystal shoes were different, and the words left were also different.

When he walked in front of No.12 swans, he found that there was no thirteen.

Behind the No.12 swan, there is an empty space, and then No.14 swan.

No. 13 swans...disappeared.

In the West, the number thirteen is considered unlucky, a symbol of misfortune, and a synonym for betrayal and betrayal.

In the Bible, Judas, the apostle who betrayed Jesus, was the No.13 guest in the Last Supper.

In ancient Rome, twelve witches held a carnival night party, and No. 13 devil Satan would appear at the climax of the night party, bringing unimaginable disasters to people.

So people in many places will subconsciously avoid this number.

Unexpectedly, is there such a taboo in fairy tales?

[Candidates, the museum staff is about to appear. Candidates are requested not to have any meaning or form of conflict with the museum staff. 】"Dear visitors, welcome to Cinderella's Museum!" Following the prompt from the system, a shrill voice rang in the ears of all candidates, "You will have a wonderful crystal journey!"

A black spot suddenly appeared on the glass-covered, almost transparent floor of the museum, and then that two-dimensional spot slowly turned into a three-dimensional three-dimensional, blurry black spot wriggling continuously, showing heads, hands, and feet, Then the facial features appeared, gradually becoming the appearance of a person.

The level of horror in the middle is no less than watching a live version of Alien.

The man who suddenly appeared was about one meter tall, with a huge rosacea on his pitch-black face, messy hair, and only a thin slit in his eyes. He was wearing snow-white work clothes, which made him look like a Coal has nothing to do with this splendid museum.The most eye-catching thing is that around his neck is a bright crystal plate with three cursive words "Work Permit" printed on it.

Seeing that everyone's eyes on the first floor were drawn to him, the dwarf proudly puffed up his chest: "This is a unique crystal dream in the world, and I—— am the most responsible person in this museum." staff member!"

There were about a dozen candidates left on the first floor. When they saw the dwarf appear, they gradually gathered together from all corners and stood three or four meters away from the dwarf, separated by two or three crystal cabinets.

"You must be the most responsible worker in this museum!" A candidate complimented first, "You must be familiar with this place, right? Can you give us some hints about Cinderella's glass slipper?"

"Of course, I am the most responsible worker in this museum." The dwarf raised his head arrogantly, and the crystal card flashed with his words, "But the reminder of the crystal shoe—"

"no!"

"Honest dwarves will never deceive anyone, and at the same time, they are responsible for everything they say."

"Our staff cannot leak questions to candidates, let alone provide convenience."

All the examinees felt nervous. Could it be that the staff of these museums are the invigilators for this exam?

Before they could ask the second question, they heard a shrill scream from upstairs. The owner of that voice seemed to be in severe pain. eventually disappear.

"Ah, what a pity~" The dwarf spread out his hands, his yellow-stained buck teeth were exposed under the light, and a slit-like small eye flashed with joy, but his tone was extremely regrettable, "It seems a bit bold The tourists violated the regulations of the exam."

"Crystals cannot be stained with blood, and crystals stained with blood are no longer crystals."

"It's not crystal, what is that?"

"It's a 'great evil'. It must not exist in a museum. This kind of thing should linger in a dark corner forever. How can it keep pace with the light?"

The dwarf answered the examinee's question in an aria-like tone, and then waved his hands boredly, "Time is running out, the museum will close in three hours, and there is still an hour and a half left, all tourists, please hurry up."

At this time, the blood-red countdown timer that the examinee noticed has moved to the first floor of the museum at some point, and it clearly shows:

1:30

Time is running out, and they are still on the first floor, and there are still 98 floors waiting for them to see.

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, true and false, false and false, the little bird sees through but doesn't tell, the dream is full of blood and fire..."

"...Where is the glass slipper? Everyone wants you—"

The dwarf sang, his fat body nimbly turned behind a tall swan, and suddenly disappeared.

The blood-red countdown on the top of the head became disordered for a moment, and time moved forward suddenly.

0:30

There is still half an hour until the end of the exam.
