Global Examination

The distracting bandage was pulled away, and You Huo caught it completely.

For some unknown reason, Qin Chen suddenly became very obsessive, one kiss after another landed on the corners of his eyes, which was different from any other time in the past.

He was itchy from being pecked, but he didn't move away.

Qin Chen tilted his head sideways, the line of his jaw was thin and deep, both the protruding Adam's apple and shoulder muscles were full of strength.Even when this person is most relaxed and lazy, he has a vigilant temperament, and that sense of aggression seems to be born.

But at this moment, his kiss was actually gentle and tender, like an intimate and precious comfort...

"...What's wrong?" You Huo asked in a low voice.

Qin Chen's pupils were half closed, and there was light in the narrow eye slits.

He still stubbornly kissed Youyou's eyes, and after a long time, he replied from the bottom of his throat: "It's nothing...I can't help it."

You Huo froze for a moment, but didn't speak.

In fact, he had forgotten most of what Chu Yue said, and he couldn't even remember the fragments clearly. Maybe he didn't care about it when he grew up.After a long time, even he himself felt that he was born with a cold heart and lungs.

But at this moment, all the emotions he thought never existed were easily hooked out by Qin Chen.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly kissed the back of Qin Chen's neck...

This scene almost coincides with the past.

Many years ago, Qin Chen, who was in the final stage of the examination, was also like this.He pulled off the bandage during the entanglement, and said in a hoarse voice: "My big examiner's eyes are very beautiful..."

"Very, very beautiful."

At that time, the examiner You Huo closed his eyes, his chest was heaving in rapid breathing, he suddenly grabbed Qin Chen's shoulder and raised his body to kiss him, just like what he did many years later.

He bent one long straight leg, changed his position during the kiss, and when he sat down, his always indifferent and drooping eyes half-raised, with misty moisture.

A hoarse voice muffled between his lips and teeth.

You Huo suddenly thought of another sentence——

I don't know which season, which day, and why.Qin Chen, who was already an examiner, said to him: "Don't close your eyes to me, examiner, you don't need to avoid anything from me, never."

I don't fear you, I don't alienate you, I don't think you're some disturbing monster.

I love you so much.

The scene in the confinement room remained the same.

It's been a while since they came in, and still nothing has changed.

The deserted ruins did not appear, there was no smell of gunpowder in the distance, there was no high sky, and there was no dark night that gradually fell.

The confinement room in the mirror has only the appearance but not the inside, and cannot play a real punitive role.

It's just a room full of memories.

Can remember, can not remember, confrontation, intimacy...

all here.

It's ridiculous.

The world in the mirror is illusory, but the truth can be found.

The examination room is boundless vertically and vertically, but only this small confinement room has unlimited freedom.

***

At 8 o'clock in the morning, there were finally human voices in the small building.

Everyone wakes up one after another according to the schedule. The first thing to do is to count the heads, so as to avoid another werewolf killing plot and half of them "die" with their eyes open.

Fortunately, everyone is still there.

"Those two brats didn't sneak attack in the middle of the night?" Yang Shu was a little puzzled.

"I cried like that yesterday. It's normal not to sneak attack." Yu Wen scratched the head of the chicken nest and said, "Do you still hope they do something?"

"It's not that I want them to do something, but I think it doesn't fit the logic of the topic," Yang Shu said.

Yu Wen was confused: "When did the topic have logic?"

Yang Shu: "..."

"I know what you mean." Wu Li said calmly, "I also think it's a bit strange."

Seeing the other people stunned, she explained: "If these two children are ordinary characters, it is normal for them to lose their temper. But they are the core of the topic. If they are scared and do nothing, then how can they be used as a topic?" core?"

Yang Shu added: "They should continue to find fault while crying."

Just like the monster octopus on the deserted island, even if it encounters the cruelest food in history, it still has to eat people when it should.

Shu Xue said suddenly: "Actually... I heard a faint sound last night."

"what sound?"

Shu Xue thought about it for a moment, her face flushed and she said, "I forgot, it seems..."

She clenched her fingers and held back for a long time before choking out a sentence: "The sound of hitting a ball?"

"Shoot the ball?"

Everyone looked at the second floor suspiciously.

Sally and Shirley had just woken up, still in their pajamas, standing behind the railing holding hands.

It may be that the hair is messy and the color of the pajamas is the same. For a while, it is impossible to tell who is the younger sister and who is the older brother.

Old Yu said with lingering fear: "I just heard the little girl kicking the ball yesterday, and when I opened my eyes, I saw her at the door."

Everyone started to breathe again behind their backs.

The most troublesome thing about this exam is the forced sleep. When it's time to sleep, they are no different from comatose, and they don't even have a night watchman.

Most of those present had been attacked and were impressed by the feeling of solitary helplessness.

The scariest thing is not the sudden appearance of the little ghost, but when the little ghost appears, you can't wake up other people no matter what.

At this moment, a bell rang suddenly.

Everyone was shocked.

Yu Wen fumbled out his phone: "I'm sorry, I forgot to turn off the alarm clock."

Seeing the phone, Shu Xue suddenly let out an "ah".

"By the way, the phone!" She took out a somewhat old black phone, and muttered, "I touched the phone when I heard the sound yesterday, and it seemed to take a picture. I'm afraid I'll faint and forget nothing today."

She won this mobile phone from a casino, and she only used it to check the time, and she didn't use it much at ordinary times.

"But don't get your hopes up too much, I might not have captured anything." Shu Xue added embarrassingly.

Everyone responded with "hmm", but their eyes were fixed on the screen.

In the photo interface, there is something more under yesterday's date.

But not a single picture, but a video.

Shu Xue opened it.

The video is not long, only five or six seconds.

It was a mess for the first two seconds, and it was a mess for the last two seconds. That should be the moment when Shu Xue raised her hand and put it down again.

Only one second in the middle captured something.

Yu Wenyanji quickly pressed pause, stopping the screen at a certain frame.

In the picture, the door of the master bedroom is open, and a figure stands under the door, facing the direction of the phone and bowing his head.

Neither Shirley nor Sally.

The figure is much taller than the siblings, with hair hanging from the side of the face, one side tied behind the ear.Although the picture was out of focus and blurry, everyone recognized it at a glance.

It's Yang Shu.

"what!"

Yang Shu's face turned pale: "I'm sleeping, why am I standing here? When was this filmed yesterday? Did you press the wrong button?"

She poked the screen, and the shooting time above was displayed——

Last night at 2:13 am.

She clicked the video again to make it move.

Then her face became even paler.

Because she saw herself in the video, her palm was raised and lowered... she was shooting a child's ball.

The picture turned into a blur in a blink of an eye, but the sound of "dong dong" hitting the ball continued, and it stopped abruptly after three seconds.

Yu Wen groaned in his heart.

If he didn't know Yang Shu, he would have jumped three meters away.

No one spoke in the living room for a while, and an inexplicable sense of horror climbed over everyone's heads, making one's scalp tingle.

Yang Shu panicked for a moment, then calmed down quickly.

"Should I just prove to myself that I haven't been replaced by someone in the mirror?"

Hearing her words, everyone suddenly understood why they felt creepy.

For fear of appearing in the mirror, they unknowingly replace a companion, and they are still ignorant of the danger.

Wu Li said: "What you just said can prove it. There is no second person who can say such a thing when his face turns pale from fright."

Yang Shu was a little moved by her trust, but still said: "Aren't you one of them?"

Wu Li said, "I won't turn pale."

Yang Shu: "..."

As long as they were not replaced, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But it still feels terrible.

They brought the two little ghosts down and asked, "What did you do last night?"

"Sleep." The siblings said in unison.

"Didn't shoot the ball?"

Shirley squirmed her lips.

"say."

"I used to shoot, but I didn't play last night." Shirley suddenly smiled strangely.

***

In the mirror, the 8 o'clock schedule failed to wake You Huo up.

He frowned, and habitually covered his brows and eyes with his elbows to continue sleeping, but his stomach protested first...

The arms around his waist moved.

He had put on a shirt yesterday, buttoned loosely.The hand at the waist was groping up his thin waist and abdominal muscles, and Qin Chen's voice sounded sleepy: "Get up and eat something?"

You Huo pressed his hand, didn't open his eyes, trying to sleep for a while.

As a result, my stomach made noises again...

With 1 impatience, the boss finally woke up by himself.

It is really rare to wake up and get angry on your head.

Seeing his expression, Qin Chen leaned against his shoulder and laughed twice.

Laugh fart.

You Huo patted his hand, motioned him to take it away, and then sat up.

For a certain moment, there was a subtle stiffness in his movements.

But he gave a "tsk" and quickly took it over.

Qin Chen got up after him, and the two big and tall guys got together, making the room smaller by comparison.

They washed up and left the room one after the other.

The scene in the mirror is synchronized with reality, and even sunlight falls through the window glass on the wooden steps.

Compared with the darkness of the basement, the light was a little dazzling.

Qin Chen walked upstairs with his hands in his pockets, squinting his eyes in the sunlight, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Why don't you leave?" You Huo asked, one level behind him.

"I remember missing something."

"what?"

Qin Chen turned around, lowered his head and touched the corner of his mouth, and said, "Morning."

You Huo: "...Morning."

In the living room, Chu Yue just walked over, then backed away and said, "Are you all finished early? Let me ask you something."

Qin Chen straightened up: "What's the matter?"

"Do you feel particularly hungry?" Chu Yue said.

Examiner A who woke up hungry in the morning echoed reservedly: "Well, it's a bit."

Chu Yue pressed her stomach and frowned and said, "I don't know if it's because I'm suspicious or what. Generally speaking, I don't feel so uncomfortable when I'm hungry for a day. I'm a little too hungry now...I'm hungry when I see both of you."

Chapter 113 new topic┃Don't get too close to me, I'm afraid to open my eyes and see a pile of gnawed bones.

The early invigilators were basically from the army, so people like Chu Yue were actually very tolerant, unless they deliberately exaggerated and joked, otherwise minor problems were not in her eyes.

If she said it was uncomfortable, it was really uncomfortable.

So what is it like to be hungry? ? ?

You Huo was still a little doubtful at first, but he didn't expect to have a resonance after half an hour.

Resonance in the physical sense——Chu Yue's stomach protested, and his stomach responded, and Qin Jiu almost laughed when he sang.

"My heart is burning right now, and I'm a little dizzy." Chu Yue circled around the sofa, too hungry to sit down.

You Huo didn't say a word, and sat on the sofa with his long legs spread out, starving into a low energy consumption mode.

Chu Yue turned around and couldn't help but turned to the kitchen again.

"Oh, by the way, where did you throw those two onions on the refrigerator?"

Both You Huo and Qin Chen looked at her in shock.

"No, what kind of eyes do you two have. I don't plan to eat it alone, but if I find something, I can cut one and fry it for seasoning."

The lady was so hungry that she started dreaming.

"Forget it, I guess you two don't know. I'll look again, just in case I can find something to eat." She said unwillingly, "Even if it's just a chili pepper, I can stir-fry it on the spot. There are three or five , but also a plate of tiger peppers."

"There's no vinegar here, otherwise it's sweet and sour tiger pepper."

She is also masochistic.She was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back, and she had to find stimulation verbally, the more she talked, the more her stomach growled.

The cooing sound went further away, and the back of the sofa behind Youzhao creaked.

He turned his head to see that Qin Chen pressed his elbows on it, lowered his head and asked him, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Average." You Huo subconsciously understated it.

After he finished speaking, he paused, and then added to Qin Chen: "It's similar to what Chu Yue said, I want to bite you when I see you now."

That sounded weird for some reason.

Qin Chen lowered one hand, raised it in front of You Huo and said, "It's not like I haven't bitten it last night, look at the teeth marks of our chief examiner."

You Huo: "..."

Who can figure out the details after such nonsense?

Just as he was about to turn his face away, he found that there were no teeth marks at all on the outstretched hand.

How about coaxing ghosts again?

Under You Huo's numb stare, Qin Chen rubbed his face with his hanging fingers, and said, "Just kidding."

"Just before your brother went into the bathroom, I tried to make the mirror move a little bit, he should have seen it."

You Huo thought about Yu Wen's reaction, and asked, "Are you scared to death?"

Qin Chen said, "It's okay, keep it steady."

"Are you sure he knows what you mean?"

"It should be, it depends on your brother's understanding."

You Huo looked at the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

Sure enough, on the other side of the mirror, Yu Wen came out of the bathroom and went straight to the sofa.

While shaking the water in his hand, he called from a distance: "Old Yu! The mirror trembled just now, it must be my brother who called me."

Qin Chen raised his eyebrows, and happily pretended to be called "my brother".

"How should I say it?" Old Yu Diandian ran to the sofa.

"Surely urged me to get them out."

This time, Yu Wen's comprehension ability is very good, and he accurately grasped You Huo's thoughts.

The others also returned to the living room one after another.

"Just write a wrong answer." Yang Shu said.

Her complexion is still not very good, but it is not as ugly as before. It is obvious that Shu Xue and Wu Li have comforted her.

"Are you ready?" Yu Wen asked while grabbing a pen.

He just writes a wrong one and crosses it out.The so-called things in this building that can illuminate people will become killers. Before You Huo, Qin Chen and Chu Yue come out, they have to ensure their own safety.

Wu Li rubbed her stomach and said, "My stomach hurts a little, I might be hungry. If there is something later, you can do it in a way that maximizes your benefits."

"Don't worry, I can't let you have anything." Yang Shu turned to Wen and said, "Let's write."

Yu Wen grabbed the pen, and everyone tensed up.

In the mirror, Chu Yue stopped dreaming and returned to the sofa to wait to be released.

"I remember discussing with my sister and the answer was 1..." Yu Wen muttered to himself.

How many Shirleys can there be in the house at most?

If all Shirley in the mirror is a phantom and a fake, then there is only one Shirley.

Yu Wen said, and wrote a 0 under the second question.

As soon as he started writing in confusion, he said, "Wait a minute."

It's a pity that Yu Wen outside the mirror can't see him, let alone hear him.

Fortunately, someone reached out to stop it.

"Wait a minute." It was Yang Shu who spoke.

Yu Wen just wrote an arc, but he got stuck halfway and didn't dare to move.

"We have exchanged information in the mirror before. Judging from Shirley's diary and her parents' diary, she may... have been replaced by herself in the mirror." Yang Shu said, "I always watch horror movies, routines. That's how it is."

Yu Wen has never looked into a mirror, nor has he bothered to read his master's diary.

He was surprised and said hesitantly, "Then the answer is... 0?"

Wu Li said: "Actually, I'm not sure, because the question is a bit vague. If Shirley was really replaced, and the person in the mirror is a phantom no matter whether she comes out or not, then the answer is 0. If the person in the mirror Counting phantoms, what can be touched is considered real, then the answer is 1, if you don’t care about anything, everything counts, the answer is countless.”

"Now countless have been ruled out, and 0 and 1 can't be determined yet."

Yu Wen thought for a while and said, "To be on the safe side, I should not write 0 or 1."

As he spoke, he continued to write along the arc, and simply wrote a 3.

Sally and Shirley recovered from yesterday's shadow, and walked out the door hand in hand, each of them was clapping a huge leather ball, and the sound of thumping went all the way to the basketball court across the street.

The people in the room looked at Shirley's back, the atmosphere was stiff, and no one spoke.

Soon after the brothers and sisters left, red handwriting slowly appeared on the paper, ticking 3 and adding 12 points.

?

???

The question marks on Yu Wen's forehead gushed out.

If you get the correct answer at random, that is called luck.

Confidently answering wrong intentionally but the mother is actually right, then it is not luck, it is ridicule.

suffer ridicule.

You Huo, Qin Chen, and Chu Yue couldn't get out.

There are three Shirleys in the family.

I don't know which of these three things is more chilling.

Anyway, superimposed together, people inside and outside the mirror are very desperate.

You guessed they were hungry, but Yu Wen they were shocked.

The sound of thud-thump-thump-thump thumping came into the house across the street, and the two children giggled, echoing in the empty street, setting off the dead silence in the house.

"Three Shirleys? How could there be three Shirleys? There are only two children in total." Old Yu looked out.

As a result, the more he looked at it, the more creepy he was.

Because in many moments, ignoring the problem of hair loss, the two children look too much alike...

It's so similar, it's exactly the same.

In the mirror, You Huo patted Qin Chen and said, "Don't you know how to recite Shirley's diary? Recite it again."

Qin Chen: "..."

It's okay to play around and play, but it's a bit scary to memorize those contents seriously in the presence of other people.

Qin Chen said: "I know what you want to hear, about Sally, right?"

Chu Yue also sat up straight and said, "Yes, when I read the diary, I thought it was weird. Now that I said it this way, I remembered it. In the diary, every time Xue Li mentioned her parents, she was referring to her mother." Reward her, what did her father give her, her parents... never seem to give Sally anything?"

This time there is no need for Qin Chen to memorize, You Huo remembers a certain page very clearly.

Shirley wrote in one of them: She made a bet with Sally, she won, and Sally should give her a candy.But Sally has no sugar... Mom never gave him sugar.

Youyou looked through the diary of Shirley's parents again, and found that they didn't mention Sally at all.

It seems that in their eyes, this "son" does not exist at all, they only have one daughter.

"What's more, Shirley lost a tooth, and Sally lost one too." Chu Yue said, "At first glance, it was nothing, but I felt at the time...or subconsciously felt that the two of them even lost their teeth. Exactly the same."

In addition, the pair of "brothers and sisters" often speak in unison.

Even if it is discussed, even if it is twins, it is impossible to be so consistent all day long.

The people inside and outside the mirror instantly thought of one——

Sally is Shirley.

"Wait!" Old Yu suddenly remembered something and went straight to the guest room.

The others hurried in.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Lao Yu lifted the mattress, everyone was a little puzzled.

"I was trapped in the mirror before, so I was wondering if I could find some clues in the guest room." Lao Yu beckoned Yu Wen to help him, removed the mattress, stretched out his hand a few times inside and said, "The bedside is the place to be." Isn’t there a gap on the side, I saw a notebook under the bed at the time, tried to take it out but couldn’t get it.”

The notebook under the bed in the guest room, either fell into it by accident, or found something hidden there.

Lao Yu is more inclined to the latter.

The notebook was finally taken out, Lao Yu blew off the dust on the cover, and solemnly spread it out on the coffee table.

At the same time, You Huo and the three of them also had an identical notebook in front of them, with the pages opened in exactly the same position.

This is still a diary.

Judging from the childish writing style, it is still Shirley's, but it is earlier than the one that Qin Jiu could memorize.

April 2

I want to have a brother, I'll call him Sally.

Mom said that it could have been there, and Dad even got in and out of bed, but it was a pity that it was not there.

What does it mean to have it?

April 2

I have a brother, so happy!

He's in my bedroom, sleeping under me.

I told my mom about it and she was cutting the cabbage and dropped her knife for joy.

April 2

Mom and Dad like to hug me a lot these days, which is what they do when they are sick.

But I'm not sick.

It's great to have an older brother. Sally plays ball with me every day.

April 2

I asked my mother if Sally and I were twins, and my mother seemed unhappy.

She's weird, she doesn't seem to like Sally.

April 3

Sally finally got dressed differently than me, and I cut his hair off.

The two of us are different.

When I cry, he stops crying and makes me laugh.

April 3

My mother bought me a lot of sugar, so happy.

When my father told me stories, he asked me why I had an older brother.

Because I made a wish, I would make a wish in the mirror every day before going to bed.

But I won't tell him.

Sally said it was a secret between us.

April 4

During the photo shoot today, I asked Sally to come in with me, and my mom said yes.

We took a lot of photos.

I can put them on the mantel or let Dad hang them on the wall.

April 4

Mom and Dad still don't like Sally.

Really sorry.

……

Although this diary also makes people feel furious, it is obviously much gentler than the previous one.

After reading these contents, everyone can understand the whole story after a little reasoning.

This room originally only lived in a family of three, the host and hostess and their daughter Shirley.

Shirley made a wish in the mirror every day, so one day, the mirror copied her, which was Sally.

Sally was exactly the same as Shirley at the beginning, from looks to clothes to crying and laughing expressions.After a certain day, Sally cut her hair and changed her clothes so she didn't have to look exactly like Shirley.

It's starting to feel real...

After half a year passed, the mirror was ready to move again.This time the whole family noticed something was wrong with the mirror.

It should have copied Shirley again, this time not simply playing with her, but replacing her.

Maybe out of jealousy or competitiveness?Or something else.

So the style of painting behind the second diary changed suddenly.

***

On the court, the pair of "brothers and sisters" were still playing football, smiling happily.

Everyone felt their scalps go cold.

If those are two "Shirleys", where is the third?

Answering both questions correctly, You Huo and the others were forced to stay for a long time.

Yu Wen specially ran to the mirror and confessed: "Brother, I accidentally answered the question correctly, and I can't paint it off after that. I can only let you out after the refreshed question at night, and you can bear it a little longer."

Chu Yue licked her teeth and said, "No, I can't bear it, I'd better lock myself in the room. When I see this kid now, I just think his skin and tender meat should taste good. You two also stay away from me, and I'll wait." Come out in the evening."

She ran away after speaking.

The guest room door slammed, but nothing happened.

You Huo raised his eyelids, and his eyes fell on Qin Chen's neck.

He could keenly feel the meridians in Qin Chen's neck beating along with his heart.

……

He is also very hungry.

Qin Chen leaned forward, looked into his eyes and asked, "How many hours are left, can you bear it?"

You Huo suddenly regained consciousness.

He licked his lips and retracted his gaze, and said softly, "Reluctantly, so I'd better go to sleep. You...don't get too close to me, I'm afraid to open my eyes and see a pile of gnawed bones."

Qin Chen is very obedient... There will be ghosts.

***

It's been a rough afternoon, in every sense of the word.

When it's time for an evening nap, the hungry and restless calm down.Sleeping neatly in the small building, Shirley's "brothers and sisters" also got under the bed, each with a bulge, snoring a little, with pale golden hair sticking out of the bed.

It was rare for them to sleep soundly this time, because the examinees answered the questions correctly.Also because of some... other changes.

At 8:[-] p.m., a new question appeared on the white paper in the living room:

One Shirley didn't speak, but the two Shirley laughed.Shirley always likes to play some small games, such as hiding somewhere and waiting for her parents or guests to find out.The game had been tormenting her since she had three Shirleys.

Shirley's favorite hiding place is the low cabinet under the master bedroom bed.A low cabinet can store up to two Shirries, or a Shirley and a ball, or two balls.

Shirley always likes to hold the ball when playing, so how many low cabinets do three Shirley need?
