Global Examination

When someone spoke, the shadows by the wall were startled, and all shrank back together.

In the next second, You Huo vaguely heard the sound of chaotic footsteps.

"Run away?" Qin Chen came over.

"You heard that too?" You Huo said.

"The ears are not as sensitive as some people." Qin Chen pointed to his eyes and said, "Just now I saw a shadow crossing the wall - what are you looking at me for?"

Sensitive, what kind of rogue would describe it?

You Huo has no expression on his face.

Qin Chen touched his face: "What, did you get dirty?"

Seeing his serious expression, You Huo felt that he had misunderstood.He withdrew his eyes and said seriously: "No, just take a look. Just now—"

Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Qin Chen smiling from the corner of his eye.

You Huo lifted his foot and gave him a calf.

The strength was not strong, and Qin Jiu didn't even give in.He laughed and said, "What are you kicking me for?"

You Huo said indifferently: "I can't control it, and I have a knee-jerk reaction when I hear nonsense."

"It's the first time I saw such a big knee-jerk reaction, and it opened my eyes." Qin Chen asked unhurriedly: "So which word did I use wrong before? Please correct me, Mr. Examiner, and I'll see if I can change it. "

"..."

Youzhuo's lips moved.

The smile in Qin Chen's eyes deepened.

You Huo raised his chin at the place where everyone was in the distance, and said, "Troubleshoot, go over there."

Qin Chen raised his hand and made a cross in front of his lips, then made a "please" gesture and said, "What did you want to say just now? Continue."

Go ahead and forget about it.

You Huo stared at him angrily, and said after a while: "Did you see what those few are?"

Qin Chen shook his head: "It's too dark. But it should be an examinee. It's not so tiring for a mirror image to climb over the wall."

"I think so too." You Huo said in bewilderment, "But why are candidates following us?"

Lee in the distance: "..."

He felt like a wisp of air.

"Hey——" He raised his hand and waved, motioning Youyou and Qin Chen to look at him: "Is there anything over there? I said I found a mirror, and it's here!"

He pointed to a small house behind him and said, "I'm sure, it's in the house!"

You Huo and Qin Chen looked at each other before walking over there in a calm manner.

***

Although the house is small, it does not prevent the owner from building a "maze" inside.

It may be to separate as many rooms as possible, the layout is very strange.

"Is this family afraid that children will find the door?" Yu Wen couldn't help but ask.

Lee raised his nose, sniffed and said: "You are really right. Since there are more people in the town, the townspeople have started to renovate the houses, and the layout has become more and more complicated. In this way, if the people in the mirror touch it, you can borrow it." Cover it with the wall and delay for a while. Usually it can also prevent the kid from running out indiscriminately."

"Does that work?"

"What do you think?" Lee spread his hands, "Is it effective?"

"At first it had some effect. It's really good to hide and delay time. But the mirror image people are getting more and more, more and more. Their number is growing too fast."

Lee paused, then smiled wryly, "Oh, that's wrong, it's us."

When it comes to quantity, You Huo has always been a little puzzled.

The original number of townspeople was much larger than that of the mirror people, and it stands to reason that they should be able to pay up quickly. Why did the situation turn in the end and the townspeople became a minority?

He asked a simple question, and Lee said: "In the beginning, we didn't find the right fog. It was terrible that the mirror people were hungry and crazy. It was a massacre. Later, the townspeople got the idea, and the mirror people began to reproduce consciously—we call it To reproduce is to create a new one through a mirror."

"How to create?"

"Transforming townspeople." Lee said vaguely, "Sorry, this reminds me of some bad scenes, like a nightmare, I don't want to say more."

"Oh, you were transformed too?" Yu Wen covered his mouth again after speaking, "Okay, let's not mention it."

He wisely shut up, but his brother didn't.

You Huo said: "What's the benefit of transformation? Didn't you say that mirror images would kill each other?"

Lee said: "Yeah, but maybe the mirror image transformed by myself will be a little friendlier? It's also a family member, and I will have scruples when I'm hungry and crazy."

They walked around the wall of the entrance, passed through the living room, and suddenly smelled a trace of blood, floating in the air.

You Huo frowned.

For them now, the smell of blood is like a feast that has just been lifted, and it will whet people's appetites if they are not careful.

All Lee's attention was on the mirror, and he didn't care much about the smell of blood.

He was still saying: "The number of mirror images grew faster later, do you know why?"

Yu Wen held back his saliva, tried his best to divert his attention, and said flatteringly, "Why?"

"Because some townspeople actively want to transform."

"What? Are you crazy? This is also the initiative?"

"It sounds crazy," Lee said, "but try to imagine that you live on a certain street, and the neighbors on the left and right have become mirror images, and the houses are vacant one after another, and things come and go from time to time. Climbing through your windows, threatening you. You don’t know how long you’re going to live, if you’re going to survive today, if you’re going to survive tomorrow.”

Everyone tried to think about it for a while, and felt a chill.

"It's scary, isn't it? At this time, some people will think: Why not become a mirror image person! If you become a mirror image person, you don't have to suffer this kind of crime, from a prey to a predator." Lee said softly: "The speed can be increased, the strength can be increased, and the five senses will be more sensitive. I can sense the townspeople approaching, but they can't detect my voice..."

It may be because his voice is very soft and his tone is relatively gentle, but this passage sounds very reasonable.

Di Li suddenly said, "I heard it so much that I want to try it."

Lee paused and said with a dry laugh, "Stop joking."

"Really." Di Li looked serious: "Think about it objectively, we candidates... ah, you may not understand why we say we are candidates, so you should be a guest. Anyway, guests like us, as a town Min is really at a disadvantage. First you have to make sure you find the weapon, and then you have to make sure you have a good shot, and then you can’t shake your hands when you see the mirror image. It’s best to have a companion to help you attack together. Only by meeting so many conditions can you live for a few more days. "

He spread his hands and said, "I just thought about it. The safest way is to transform yourself into a mirror person after entering the examination room. It is much easier to live than the townspeople, and then use a few days to find the special transformation mirror you mentioned. , and follow it when you find it. Wait until the day the exam is over, and use the mirror to turn yourself back to the townspeople. Perfect!"

Lee seemed surprised, raising his eyebrows.

He looked at Di Li, nodded after a long time and said, "Actually, there are indeed many guests like you who would choose this approach."

"a lot of?"

"Yes, a lot."

While speaking, the street radio suddenly rang again.

At the end of the day, the radio rang many times.Every time it sounds, it means that another candidate has died.

But this broadcast is very special, the system broadcasts calmly:

[Candidate Alexander encounters Yves who is extremely hungry and is declared dead. 】

[Candidate Chen Jingjing encounters Yves who is extremely hungry and declares her death. 】

[Candidate Hailey encounters Yves who is extremely hungry and is declared dead. 】

"Hungry Yves???"

Everyone was stunned.

It used to be called "the extremely hungry mirror person", but today it suddenly has a name.

They immediately realized that this was what Lee was talking about.Some candidates took the initiative to transform into mirror images, turning themselves into hunters.

Di Li said, "Look, this man should have been analyzed with me, he is a rational person."

Yu Wen: "???"

"Xueba, what are you eating? Why do you speak so strangely?"

"You've just eaten bad food! I'm feeling sorry for you, the environment is dangerous." Di Li said to Lee, "Isn't it?"

Lee: "...Really."

It may be that the topic is not going in the right direction, so no one speaks again. Lee opened one door after another, looking for the mirror intently.

The further you go inside, the stronger the smell of blood in the room.

Youzhuo's footsteps paused.

His lips and throat became dry, and his hunger returned.

"Have you found it yet?" He asked, his face paler than usual.

Lee looked at him and explained embarrassingly: "The smell of blood is really strong where the mirror is, because every mirror is the base camp of the mirrored people. There should be many mirrored people here, you bear with it for a while, the last one room."

He said, turning the doorknob.

The moment the door opened, the bloody smell soared to the sky.

It's terrible...

There was a "buzz" in everyone's mind, as if someone had hammered their brainstem hard.

It was a dizzying dizziness.

For those with weaker willpower, such as Yu Wen, there are only four characters left in their minds - stuttering!

Anyone is fine, anything is fine, as long as it can relieve his hunger.

As long as he sees a neck now, he wants to chew on it.

I am already like this, where is my brother?

Yu Wen thought to himself.

He turned his head and looked over in a dazed state, but he hadn't seen You Yao yet. He first noticed that Lee and his wife Kelly were gone, along with Di Li and Jonny and his students.

He was clearly standing there just now!

He scanned around.

In his maddening hunger, he suddenly realized that there was no mirror in the open room, only blood dripping all over the floor.

***

Two strange figures walked in the night like ghosts.

Every blink of an eye, they will appear in a further place, and disappear at the end of the road in two or three clicks.

These two figures are none other than Lee and Kelly.

The strange shape of the shadows was because they were carrying a person on one shoulder.

The extraordinary strength of the mirror image is vividly reflected at this moment. The thin and pale couple carried the portrait and cotton without changing their expressions or panting.

The alleys in Brandon Town are criss-crossed, plus the wide streets, there are hundreds of them at least.

Lee and Kelly are familiar with the road, and they know exactly where to turn at which intersection, as if they have walked through it thousands of times.

They walked several blocks, took four forks, and followed the end of a small river to the edge of the woods.

This is the edge of the town, the woods spread all the way to the hill, and up the stone steps is the Cemetery of Brandon Town.

Lee looked around and walked into the cemetery.

He stopped in front of a tall cross tombstone and dropped the man on his shoulders to the ground.

Di Li, Jonny and the other two candidates lay crooked and unconscious.

Taking advantage of the confusion that they were dizzy with hunger, Lee and Kelly brought the four real ordinary people down, and took advantage of the layout of the hut to successfully get these people here.

"Is it safe?" Kelly asked in a low voice, "My eyelids keep twitching."

"The eyelids of living people only jump." Lee said bluntly.

Kelly said: "You know what I mean, this is the first time I have such a guest."

Lee said: "Don't be nervous, I can assure you that our guests are enjoying supper in that room just now."

"just in case……"

"There's no chance." Lee interrupted her, "How many mirror images can handle so much blood? No one."

Kelly pointed at him, then at herself: "We didn't kneel on the ground to lick the blood."

"We're different," Lee said. "We created so many kids."

He knelt down and took out a shovel from the bushes.

Judging by the proficiency of the movements, there must be no shortage.

Lee shoveled off the loess on the surface to reveal the coffin below.With a few fingers, he lifted the door nail on the coffin lid and opened the coffin lid.

Surprisingly, there was no one lying in the coffin, only a huge mirror.

As Lee said, this mirror is very special at first glance, completely different from the full-length mirror they saw at Shirley's house.

The mirror is surrounded by silver and black retro patterns, and on the top is a hexagram made of fine jewelry fragments.

"What are you doing?!" Di Li's voice suddenly sounded.

Lee was shocked.

He looked up and saw that those students had woken up and were looking at him vigilantly and terrifiedly. The one who was most afraid was Di Li, whose legs were weak and trembling as if it wasn't him.

Lee smiled "ha": "I don't want to do anything, I just came to give you a little favor."

"Help us?" Di Li was shocked, as if he had never seen such a shameless person.

"Didn't you say that according to the theoretical analysis, the probability of being transformed into a mirror image is high?" Lee said softly and gently, "I'm here to help you."

Jonny immediately said, "No!"

"Yes, this is a ready-made mirror, and I picked the best one for you," Lee said.

"No!" Di Li said as he glanced at the mirror in the coffin, seeing the hexagram sharply.

He glanced over and said to Lee: "What use is it to you to transform us? Didn't you say it yourself? No, at least there is no obvious benefit."

"You really believe me when I tell you?"

Lee gave a short laugh: "Of course it's good, if it's not good, why don't I just suck you dry?"

"The mirror image people I transform are all my children. When I need them, they will follow me, such as hunting near the movie. If they drink enough blood, even if I don't find a suitable blood supply partner, the hunger will also go away." lighten."

"With them around, I can take it easy and enjoy my vacation like before. You tell me, why not?" Lee said.

"So this mirror can't turn us back?" Di Li asked.

"Okay. I won't lie, of course I can turn back. But why should I turn? Now I have the skills and speed beyond ordinary people, and can guarantee most of my sobriety, so I won't become a walking dead."

Di Li glanced behind Lee and Kelly from the corner of his eye, and continued, "Aren't you afraid that I, Brother You and Brother Qin, will find you?"

"Do you know how much restraint the mirror image people need in the face of so much blood? Especially they haven't had enough food before." Lee smiled and said, "I guarantee with my head that they are kneeling on the ground at this moment, absolutely Licking that blood without dignity."

He said, shook his head and repeated: "No dignity."

Just after he said these four words, a gust of wind suddenly rose from the back of his head.

In the next second, someone grabbed the back of his neck and pushed him into the coffin.

The bridge of his nose squeezed against the bottom mirror, twisted almost out of shape.Through the mirror, he saw two more people behind him.

One of them grabbed Kelly, and the other stepped on the edge of the coffin, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up. A deep voice rang in his ear: "Thank you for leading the way and helping us find the mirror. May I ask, who did you just talk about?" Without dignity?"

"..."

Lee's voice: Grass.
