Global Examination

There is a "small villa" not far from the cemetery, and now it has become a resting place for Youyou and them. According to the rumors of gangsters, this is the lair.

This house is actually an exhibition hall of the small town cemetery. There are simple cafes and dining seats on the second floor, surrounded by windows, with a very wide view, suitable for this group of people to observe the dynamics outside.

The first floor is very weird, the four walls are covered with large and small photos.There is a sign by the door, which reads: You can commemorate anyone here.

The photo frames are all black, and the photos are all posthumous photos.There are tens of thousands of deceased people in Brandon Town, and they should all be hung here.Everyone is expressionless, like coming off an assembly line.

When stepping here for the first time, several students almost turned around and ran away.

But they finally decided on the "Old Nest" here, because there is a storage room underground, enough to hold a town's mirrored people.The ones they caught were tied up inside.

Ordinary townspeople don't come near here at all, and candidates dare not come in.

Even the mirrored people get honest and quiet here, because their own photos are pinned to the wall, like a proof, a stark reminder: You can no longer be called living people.

You Huo tied the newly captured two people to the pillar in the center of the first floor, and tens of thousands of faces just looked at them expressionlessly.

The person who was still stubborn 5 minutes ago recruited on the spot: "I, my name is Natt. This instruction is indeed... It is indeed the first one I found, because I just entered the examination room from this area."

"This conversion condition seems a bit difficult. I didn't dare to try it myself, so I just attracted a few people." Natt's English accent is heavy, and he speaks intermittently and very slowly.

"How many people?" Qin Chen asked.

"Four."

Natt glanced at Yves beside him, and said: "The other three were hesitant, I think they should be scared, only he quickly transformed himself into a mirror person. So I followed him quietly to see how he progressed." Whether it goes well or not. By the way... by the way, cut the half of the explanation."

You Huo asked: "Why cut?"

Natt: "Hide."

You Huo didn't speak, but "Are you an idiot?" was written brightly on his face.

With such a fucking condition, someone actually treats her as a baby?It just opened my eyes.

Natt's lips twitched.

He seemed to want to refute something, but swallowed the words again.

Obviously, this person still wants to save some money, and doesn't want to shake everything out so quickly.

After asking several times but still no results, Qin Chen nodded: "All right."

He straightened up and said to You Huo, "Wait for me." Then he turned and went upstairs.

Natt looked at Qin Chen's unhurried back, inexplicably nervous.

After a while, Qin Chen came down again, carrying a bunch of things in his hand.

Before Natt could see clearly, Yves beside him had a violent reaction.He gasped and wheezed, trying to break free from the rope, his whole body became anxious.

Natt's face changed, and he finally knew.

is blood!

Qin Chen held a ball of blood-soaked gauze and hung it directly in front of Yves' nose.The smell of blood stimulated Yves' nerves, causing him to gradually lose control.

You Huo grabbed Yves' shoulders and turned around.

Candidate Natt confronted the hungry Yves, who opened his mouth at him—

"I said!" Natt rolled to the ground, twisting like a big white bug: "You pull him away! Pull him away!"

When Di Li heard the movement, he ran down and took the gauze from Qin Chen's hand.Throw it far away, so as not to cause internal commotion among teammates.

Qin Chen said thanks, and wiped a little blood from his fingertips on Natt's collar.

Yves stared straight at the piece, gritted his teeth and tried to get closer, Natt was going crazy.

"You, you're just—" Natt held back for a long time, and said, "Rogue! Robber!"

You Huo let out an "oh".

Qin Chen laughed: "Thank you for the compliment. But you can't run away anymore. Instead of swearing, why don't you say something useful?"

Natt was exhausted by their torture. He slumped on the pillar and said with a broken jar: "Before I entered this examination room, I actually managed to ask for some information. As you know, there are rest places where as long as you have something in your hand, It can be exchanged for some information. I asked some people who have been here, and luckily, someone happened to mention the joint examination room."

Qin Chen said: "The content of the exam in this joint exam room is different every time."

Natt: "But the background is the same, the main core is always similar, right? Besides, it's better to know more than nothing."

"Then what did you ask?" You Huo asked.

Natt said: "The most important thing in this exam is to survive. Didn't you find out? The previous question only talked about how to kill the mirror person and how to kill the townspeople. It is over. It is said that this examination room is triggered by time, and when a certain condition is met, the system will say the final requirement."

"The trigger conditions are different every time, so there is no way to guess. But no matter what, candidates are completely passive. No one knows when the condition will be triggered. Before that, I must ensure that I am alive. As a townsman Well, it’s fine as a mirror person, as long as you’re alive.”

"Obviously, it's easier to survive as a mirror person." Natt, "Otherwise, the longer you spend in this examination room, the more dangerous the townspeople will be. Because the power balance is too great. I know you think it's too difficult to gather 100 townspeople Now, a mirror person can only convert a townsman every three days, and if there are 100 townspeople, it will take a year here. Right?"

He clicked his tongue, shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not, I checked. For example, if I transform you, then you will be considered my child—"

He was proud of what he said, and when he looked up at Yu Yu's cold gaze, he gulped again and said, "You transformed me, I'm your child... No, subordinate. Anyway, wait another three days like this, You and I can each convert one townsman. The one I converted will also be added to your number, understand? Then after another three days, each of the four of us can convert one more, and these are still accumulated in your in the quantity."

"It's like a tree. I am a branch, and the fruit of all the twigs on this branch is mine. And you are the trunk, including me, and the fruit of all the branches is yours. In this way After all, it doesn’t take long for you to have 100 townspeople.”

"You know, the examination time in the joint examination room is always very long. I guess at least this number must be passed." He stretched out three fingers and said, "Because there are many people, the situation is complicated, and the questions are tricky, it is not bad if it can be completed in 30 days." Yes. So before the exam is over, you must be able to meet the conditions and return to the townspeople."

Natt raised his eyes as he spoke, the expressions of the two men remained unchanged, and they could not see their inner thoughts at all.

But it doesn't matter, he firmly believes that these words are enough to let the other party understand the situation.

"I know, you really want to convert back to ordinary townspeople." Natt said, "And I also want to live in a safer place. How about we cooperate? I can use the status of ordinary people to help you attract townspeople and candidates , to ensure that you have enough blood to drink, and to ensure that there are enough people for you to convert... The premise is to ensure my safety."

The corner of Qin Chen's mouth was about to draw a sarcasm, and Natt quickly added: "There is another one! I voluntarily let you switch, and you turn me into a mirror image, and then I go to catch other townspeople and candidates, one becomes two , Two into four, four into eight. As long as you calculate the people and time, you can get twice the result with half the effort, saving time and effort."

Natt waited cautiously for the two to speak: "What do you think?"

You You looked down at him for a while, then bent over and asked, "What do you think?"

Natt: "What a deal."

Two minutes later, Natt rolls underground with his business, bundled face to face with a hungry Yves, surrounded by a hundred mirror men who are also hungry.

Natt passed out with a groan.

They can't do such a thing as exchanging others for themselves.

Whether it is 100 for 1, or 1 for 1.

The three walls on the first floor were covered with photos, and only the fourth side was left blank, leaving space for the rest of the townspeople and candidates.

Qin Chen stood in front of that wall, looking at a certain black photo frame, in which was You Huo's face.

He, like the other mirror men, was expelled from the ranks of the living and hung in this showroom.

The photo was the system default, similar to the one on the admission ticket, except that the shoulders and chest were exposed, and the edge of the sofa back where You Huo was sitting was still visible.

He wanted to ask You Huo if this photo was his own, or was it captured by the system.But before the words came out, he suddenly lost his mind.

Because when he looked at this photo, a scene suddenly appeared in his mind...

It was a night when he was discussing something in a colleague's room, or was it just chatting?Can not remember.

Judging from the vague titles, he should have just become an invigilator at that time, not 001 yet.

They were in the living room. There were two huge French windows next to the sofa, forming a transparent corner.If you don't draw the curtains, you can clearly see everything outside the window.

There were voices beside him, and he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a glass in his hand, looking across.

Through the dark night, he could see another house. The living room also had a large floor-to-ceiling window, facing the direction he was standing in.

He even remembered a simple floor lamp in that corner, next to a gray-blue sofa.

He pointed with his finger while holding the cup, and asked someone beside him, "Whose house is opposite?"

"Examiner A." The colleague replied.

The ice cube knocked against the wall of the cup, and Qin Jiu gave a soft "ah" knowingly.

"What?" asked the colleague.

"Nothing, just ask." Qin Chen said.

"Don't stand here, he has never liked this open design, and it's time to close the curtains soon." The colleague said again.

Qin Chen replied lazily, but didn't want to move.

The light from the floor lamp and wall lamp in Examiner A's living room intertwine, shining brilliantly on the window glass.

You Huo's tall figure came down the stairs. He walked to the coffee table, bent down and picked up a remote control, as if he was going to close the curtains of the French windows.

He paused suddenly before pressing the button, and turned his head to look this way.

After a long time, he turned back.

He threw the remote control back to its original place, sat down on the sofa, and opened the documents on the coffee table while unbuttoning his cuffs.

……

"What are you in a daze for?" A confused voice sounded.

Qin Chen turned to look at him.

For a moment, he couldn't even react.He was stunned for two seconds before he came back to his senses - the person in the scene was by his side, there was no window pane between them, no night, and they were within reach.

Qin Chen smiled suddenly, he turned his head and pointed to the photo and said, "No, it's because someone's photo looks so good."

You Huo looked at the black and white face on the grave, and for a moment didn't know whether his boyfriend's aesthetics had died, or he was just teasing him.

***

The cost of switching from a mirror image person back to an ordinary person is too high, and everyone simply ignores it and no longer considers it.

The matter went full circle, and finally came back to Qin Chen's proposal - to end the exam quickly and use the recommendation card to create bugs, so as to ensure that you will not be eliminated.

To fight quickly means that the conditions must be triggered as soon as possible to lead to the final requirements of the topic.After all, with the request, they can find a way to end it.

Everyone debated for a while on the question of "what is the trigger condition".

In the end, You Huo ended everything with one sentence: "Just tie up all the mirror people."

Jonny and their faces are full of WTF.

But with a little explanation, they understood the connection.

If all the mirror people are tied up, for all candidates, the threat to survival will no longer exist.If there are no new requirements, what is the need for this examination room?

Since the system doesn't let them live a good life, let's not live it.

In just three days, this group of devils emptied most of the examination room.The mirror person's life is precarious, suffering, and the original dominant position is gone.

The worst part is that all the sinners are of the same kind.

The speed, strength, and acuity are all on par, and the opponent has more brains.

How to fight this?

In this favorable environment, the examinees also suddenly rose up, and their archery became more accurate.They even have a feeling that if they persist for a day or two, they can pass the exam directly.

On the fourth night, the system that had been silent for a long time finally went online, marking that the condition was triggered.

The streets of Brandon town echoed with a stereotyped broadcast:

[There are two triggering conditions for the last question in this exam. 】

【1. The number of mirror people with signs of life activity is less than 20% of the number of ordinary townspeople. 】

【2. The number of ordinary townspeople with signs of vital activity is less than 40% of the number of mirror images. 】

[Condition 1 is triggered in the current examination room, so it is judged that the mirror image person has no chance of a comeback.Clear all the mirror people in the small town of Brandon, and the exam is over. 】

【Good luck to everyone. 】

When the broadcast rang, You Huo and the others were standing on the roof of a dilapidated business.

Houses in Brandon Town generally only have two or three floors. This commercial building is the tallest building in the town center, with a total of four and a half floors.

The three-day crushing victory made them the backbone of the candidates, and a large number of candidates gathered on the roof with them.The crowd effect caused all the mirror images within a mile to rush over.

They set up a circle of crossbows along the roof, planning to do the final cleaning.

As a result, the broadcast stopped everyone from attacking.

You Huo and the others were also taken aback.

Their original plan was to end the exam as soon as possible, and then use the walk-in card to offset You Huo's elimination.

The current condition for ending the exam is to "eliminate all mirror images", including a few of them of course.

This becomes a dead end.

The shriveled skins of the mirror images were piled up layer upon layer on the bottom of the building, and several candidates who were running extremely fast were trying to retrieve the arrows at the bottom of the building.

As soon as they straightened up, they heard a sudden "whoosh" breaking wind in the air.

Both the location and direction are different from before.

They froze for a few seconds, and suddenly realized that the arrow was shot towards the rooftop from somewhere else.

"What's the situation?" They looked at each other and ran up to the roof three steps at a time.

I saw that Yang Shu and Lao Yu were shot by an arrow each, bleeding profusely. Although it was not a vital part, it had a surprisingly great impact on them.

Everyone's face was very gray, as if most of their vitality had been taken away.

Wu Li knelt beside her to deal with her, while You Huo and the others surrounded the two of them, looking coldly at the roof of a certain building opposite.

There was a dead silence on the rooftop, and the candidates were all confused by the sudden change.

On the top of the opposite building, several figures came out cautiously holding crossbow arrows, one of them had a burly shaved crew-cut head.He turned his head to this side and said: "Didn't you hear what the system said just now? Clear all the mirror people, do you understand? The few you are surrounded by are just."

"We have been following for several days. They used the team card and they are considered as one person. Do you know what it means to be alone?" Xiaopingtou said: "Another arrow, no matter who is shot among them, this group It will be over once and for all, and it will be cleaned up, which is easier to deal with than other mirror people."

There was still no one on the rooftop, and some candidates looked at You Yao and the others hesitantly.

Xiaopingtou said again: "What are you doing in a daze?! Hit! You don't want to end the exam?"

He suddenly increased the volume, and several candidates were provoked to move a little bit, raising and lowering the crossbow in their hands, hesitating.

You Huo frowned, and slowly straightened his shoulders.

Just when two of them finally raised their crossbow arrows, several figures suddenly crossed over and stood in front of them.

It's the students of Di Li and Jonny.

"Come on, shoot an arrow here if you have the face." Di Li said, pointing at his head.
