Global Examination

After the announcement of the exam, the broadcaster died, and there was silence in the car.

What big baby, what reassurance, all became a dream in front of "Gypsy".

Everyone was at a loss for a moment, and slumped in their seats.

The CMB instantly turned into a hearse, dragging a few cool people.

It's annoying enough to be woken up from sleep, but to be woken up by something this nasty.You Huo was about to sit up straight when he saw someone walking towards him through the cracks in his eyes.

He immediately closed his eyes, pretending to have fallen asleep.

CMB seems to be driving in the clouds without any bumps.

The footsteps stopped nearby, and the back of the chair on which You Huo was resting his head collapsed.Then, his earphone cable was pulled a few times.

"..."

You Huo pretended to sleep with a cold face.

The earphone cable was pulled a few more times, even the earlobe and earrings were moving.

"..."

You Huo continued to play dead.

"There is no signal, what kind of earphones do you use? Don't put it on." A familiar, drawling voice sounded.

"..."

You Huo really can't pretend anymore.

He half-opened his eyes, glanced out from the end of his eyes, and looked at the hand on the earphone cable: "What's the matter?"

After asking this sentence, he raised his eyes to look at the standing person.

From the look to the tone, it fully expresses the arrogance of "if you fart, but if you don't fart".

Qin Chen withdrew his hand from grabbing the headphone cable and rested it on the back of the front seat.

He pointed to the seat next to Youyou with his chin, and said with a half-smile, "Your backpack? Please give it a seat."

"It doesn't want to."

After You Huo finished speaking expressionlessly, he plugged in the earphones and closed his eyes again.

Within two seconds, that annoying hand came again and took off his earphones.

Itches a little when I rub my finger over the earlobe.

You Huo raised his hand to pinch the earrings, frowned and opened his eyes: "What else?"

"If it is really unwilling, I have no choice but to do it myself." Qin Chen picked up the black bag with a smile, weighed it lightly, and put it on the luggage rack above Youyou's head.

You Huo stared at him: "Can't you change to an empty seat?"

Qin Chen: "I'm afraid not. There are nine seats in the car, and you take up seven of them. If I don't sit here, I have to tie up the driver. It's hard for you to say, but other people probably don't want me to do that."

You Huo: "..."

When he got in the car, he didn't count the seats at all. Who would have thought that the seats in a broken car would be so tight.

Qin Chen sat down beside him.

This man looked tall and thin in a coat, but he could feel it when he got close. His figure should be tall and strong, and he could feel his hard arms and body temperature through the fabric.

Fortunately, there are not many seats in the car, and there is a lot of space in the front and rear rows, otherwise the two people would have nowhere to put their legs.

But even so, the knees inevitably touch.

Youzhuo wanted to straighten his legs, but that would kick the person in the front seat.

And at this time, it seems that whoever gets out of the way first will lose the wind.You Huo thought for a while, then simply smashed the jar and threw it heavily on Qin Chen's knee.

He pulled up his collar and was about to sleep with his eyes shut, when Qin Chen muttered in a low voice: "Gypsy, it's really good."

You Huoqi woke up: "Isn't this the subject you chose?"

Qin Chen glanced at him, and smacked his fingers lazily: "If you say that, I feel a little wronged."

You are wronged.

You Huo looked at him coldly.

"Look at the person you picked." Qin Chen pointed to the place where Mike was sitting. "As far as I know, this candidate has a very colorful background. He has mixed blood from the United States, France, Russia, and Spain, and then he grew up like this .”

You Huo: "..."

"Sorry, I accidentally got a little aggressive." Qin Chen didn't look apologetic at all.

You Huo: "Do you have the candidates' information?"

"Guess?" Qin Chen's voice was deep and deep, even if it was dragged, it sounded nice.

You Huo snorted coldly.

Since he could draw people to this ghostly place, he believed that the examination system should have the complete information.How much do the proctors know?

You Huo recalled their previous performance, and felt that there should not be many.

The invigilators are also bound by regulations, maybe... they want to know the specific information of the candidates, and they also need to go through a process of obtaining it?And that process shouldn't be easy.

Otherwise, 001, 154, and 922 will be the first to check.

Qin Chen supported his head, looked at him with dark eyes for a while and said, "Don't worry, generally speaking, I'm not interested in candidates' information."

You Huo let out an "oh", extremely perfunctory.

"Anyway, with such a treasure in the team, it's not unusual for you to be in such a ghostly place." Qin Chen said.

You Huo didn't know what was behind the so-called examination system, but he felt that he had a tricky and weird temper.In order to avoid all the "mother tongues" of their group, it seems reasonable to come up with a "gypsy" with nine twists and turns.

Now that he found the reason, he didn't blame Qin Chen again.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, but since getting in the car just now, Qin Chen has been a little unhappy.

You Huo looked at the invigilator with downcast eyes...

Maybe it was because the snow outside the car was too bright, and his eyes hurt again, making him a little uncomfortable.

He hastily rubbed it twice, plugged in his earphones and continued to sleep in a muffled sound.

……

……

After driving for 10 minutes, the road bumped suddenly.

The dejected examinees were brought back to their senses, and only then did they realize that the scene outside the car had changed.

The snow and fog all over the sky have disappeared, and there is a winding mountain road in front of us.

The road conditions were not good. After driving up, the car bumped all the way, and there were solidified mud and gravel everywhere.

The road is still very narrow. If two cars meet each other, they have to shift into first gear and move over a little bit.

The grass and trees at the foot of the mountain are dense, and the depth cannot be seen at a glance. It is very likely that there will be no bones left when it rolls down.

In this way, this broken CMB is still driving extraordinarily boldly.

Halfway through the trip, the driver let go of one hand to turn the radio knob.The radio in the car buzzed a few times, switched to a certain frequency band, sang old songs, and occasionally interspersed with a traffic reminder, saying that some sections of a certain mountain road had landslides and were impassable.

During the broadcast, a warning sign appeared in front of the car.

In front of the warning sign is a large rock and a fallen tree, which is obviously difficult for normal vehicles to pass.

But the driver completely ignored the warning signs and drove the broken car wobbly and bumped the big one twice.

Everyone exclaimed for a while, and when they fell back into their seats heavily, the car had passed through the landslide and continued to drive deep into the mountains.

……

Since entering the depths, the sky has suddenly become gloomy.

Even though there was heating in the car, everyone shivered unconsciously.

When coming out from the other side of Panshan Road, there is an old road sign on the side of the road, marking the road number.

Old Yu wrapped his clothes tightly and curled up on the seat, looking at the number and muttering: "This road seems to be approaching the border..."

"You really want to go out?" Yu Wen's eyes widened.

Old Yu: "I don't know."

Yu Wen shrank his neck and stared at the outside of the car in a hurry: "Can the border line run around!"

While speaking, the minibus made a big turn and got into the woods beside the road.

Everyone was confused by this unpredictable route, so they wanted to ask, but the driver was also dumb.

Another 10 minutes passed.

The car got out of the forest and braked sharply on the side of the dirt road.

……

"Brother, wake up, get out of the car." Yu Wen knelt on the seat with one leg, and went over the back of the chair to call You Huo.

He really admired his brother's big heart for sleeping so deeply.

You Huo pulled his hair, and glanced around with half-opened eyes, the seat was already empty.

He hid the lower half of his face in his collar and said in a muffled voice, "Where's the person?"

"Ah?" Yu Wen didn't hear clearly.

You Huo shook his head and woke up completely.

He stood up and stamped his sleepy feet, looked down at the window: "Where is this?"

This time Yu Wen heard it clearly, "I don't know, the driver stopped the car and ran away."

"What do you mean run away?"

Yu Wen pointed out the window: "Here, it's just such a dirt road, and he ran into it."

They seem to have stopped at the intersection of a certain village, through the cluttered branches, they can vaguely see the staggered roofs.There was nowhere else to go except a path leading to the village.

They were surrounded by endless woods.

Yu Wen followed You Huo and got out of the car.

The candidates looked at each other stupidly outside the car door.

Qin Jiu, the proctor, stood far away in the woods, leaning on a tree, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Old Yu said that the road was next to the border, could we be somewhere in reality?" Yu Wen asked confused.

Newcomer Chen Bin interjected: "Based on my experience, probably not. But you will see some shadows of reality here, and some things have even been seen somewhere."

Yu Wen: "If it is not a place that exists in reality, then is the so-called death really dead?"

Chen Bin smiled wryly: "I don't know, you can only know by trying it. But who dares to try this kind of thing?"

Yu Wen drooped his head and said, "It's also..."

You Huo didn't dwell on this topic, he walked around the dirt road after getting out of the car.

After a while, he kicked somewhere and said, "There is a monument here."

"I'm looking for it, so it's with you." Chen Bin is an experienced man, and he was looking for information everywhere after getting out of the car.

He came over and squatted in front of the monument, scraping away the covered weeds: "It should be written with the name of the place. Although it is not very useful, it is also a comfort to know where you are..."

Everyone gathered around after hearing the words.

I saw several strange figures engraved on the dilapidated stone tablet.

"What is this painting?"

"Letters..."

Chen Bin took out a tissue from his bag and wiped off the muddy part. Everyone struggled to identify it.

Yu Wen: "k...is this a?"

Chen Bin: "lo...what the hell is this?"

"P." Yu Yao supported his stomach and tilted his head to read the characters: "That looks like h...u...v."

Leaving aside those miscellaneous parts that I don't know if they are useful or not, the place names engraved on this stele look like this:

kalophuv

Everyone: "..."

What the hell is this.

Tell a joke, you can know where you are by looking at the monument.

……

When everyone was collapsing, the driver who ran away without saying a word came back again.He brought two feet of black mud and a middle-aged man wrapped in a military coat and a fur hat.

Looking at the face, it should be made in China.

The driver said, "Here, these are the people."

Old Yu was taken aback: "You can talk?!"

The driver glanced at him and said hoarsely: "He will take you to that house, remember, don't go into the woods."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand at the man in the leather hat, turned around and got into the minibus, and drove away.

The car went crookedly into the woods, and in a blink of an eye, it was covered by the layers of branches and disappeared.

Even the throttle and grating sounds are gone.

The forest was unusually quiet, and everyone's hair stood on end.

……

"What are we here for?" You Huo asked the man in the leather hat.

The man in the leather hat let out an "ah" and said, "Didn't you say you came to find the black woman? What? Are you all confused?"

"Hei Po? Who is Hei Po?" Chen Bin followed and asked.

The man in the leather hat flinched for some reason, he sealed the bottom of the hat, lowered his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "An old woman who came here with the old man during the war, seems to be some kind of gypsy, anyway..."

He wrapped himself up a little tighter, and said in a low voice, "I'll take you there, be careful. After she arrives here, our whole village will be abnormal. What do you think... come here for ten days?"

Everyone wants to cry but has no tears, thinking that we are sick and want to live here.

Chapter 17 Allocation of rooms┃In addition, it is forbidden for candidates to develop improper relationships with invigilators, please reassign the room.

The man in the leather hat who led the way was the village head. He said it was called "Chasu Village", and there were [-] families in total.

The village is close to the border. When the war broke out, the black woman followed the Russians to live here and stayed here.

The stele was carved by her, and the village chief couldn't tell what it meant.

The crowd followed him and walked along the dirt road to the village.

On one side of the path is the river, which is covered with a thick layer of ice.On the other side are houses scattered high and low, some with cement walls, and some with traces of brickwork, but no matter what the structure is, the roofs are all the same dark red.

"Didn't you say eighteen households?" Yu Wen muttered in a low voice, "There are more than eighteen of these houses, right?"

The village head acted as if he hadn't heard, wrapped his military coat tightly and walked forward dully.

"Hey, don't go so fast, I'm asking you something, brother!" Lao Yu still didn't forget to add "you" at this time.

The village chief was taken aback by his photograph, finally stopped and said vaguely: "There must have been more than eighteen households in the past. Some of them left and some died. Slowly, there are fewer people."

He pointed to two houses casually: "Like this building, and this one, it seems that no one lives there."

Lao Yu was about to nod, when You Huo interjected nonchalantly: "I can't see, I think every house looks like no one lives there."

The village head was taken aback: "Why do you say that?"

You Huo: "It's too quiet."

After he finished speaking, everyone stopped.

As soon as the chaotic footsteps stopped, the abnormal silence was highlighted.

It's really quiet.

It was early in the morning, but there was no human voice, no sound of pots and pans clashing, no door opening and closing...

Nothing at all.

Everyone got goosebumps all over, and they all stared at the village chief.

There was a trace of fear in the embarrassment of the village chief.He hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "There are indeed people living there, but... people don't dare to go out, and generally they can sleep as long as they want."

"Don't dare to go out? Why?"

The village chief glanced cautiously into the distance.

Everyone followed and looked over.On the other side of the river, there are several low houses with different styles. They are gray and inconspicuous, even the roofs are black, almost blending with the woods behind them.

The village chief seemed afraid of being overheard, so he whispered in a very low voice: "It's not safe at night. If you live here, please remember, don't go out at night, and don't open the door if you hear anything."

"What do you mean?" Everyone was afraid and puzzled.

But the village chief didn't dare to say any more, he waved his hand quickly, and continued to lead the way dully.

Everyone was at a loss, but they didn't dare to ask more questions.

……

"Fuck."

On the way, Yu Wen suddenly screamed, arched and wandered and said, "Brother, look at that house."

You Huo looked over, and the other people who heard him also looked over there.

I saw someone standing on the second floor of a certain house behind the curtains, watching them quietly.

"Suddenly I saw a face by the window, it scared me to death!" Yu Wen said, touching his chest.

Immediately afterwards they discovered that more than one family had done this.

In several houses, people opened the curtains like this and looked out quietly.

The village head said: "When guests come, they are also very curious. It's just that they are too scared and dare not come out easily."

"Then stay in the house all the time?" Yu Wen asked in surprise: "What should I do if I'm hungry? Don't you eat or drink?"

"Every family here has a cellar. There are grains stored in the cellar, and there are ladders to go down." The village chief explained, "And it's not that they don't go out at all. In the afternoon or near evening, everyone will come out for some activities. But God I will go back to the house before it gets dark."

"Oh."

"Is it related to that black woman?" You Huo asked.

The village chief was silent for a moment, nodded and said softly: "I heard that you are here to find her to do work?"

"Work? What kind of work?"

Hearing this purpose-related matter, everyone pricked up their ears.

"The dead are alive!" The village head turned pale with fright, and said in a low voice: "The black woman likes to deal with the dead, such as sewing up broken people."

"..."

The village head: "The family member is lost, and I can find her to find out whether he is dead or not, and where he died."

"..."

The village chief is very enthusiastic about scaring others: "Sometimes he even picks up people to do it himself."

Yu Wen was terrified: "...what do you mean picking someone back?"

"It's like a few years ago..." The village head pointed to the frozen river and said, "A girl floated by the head of this river. The black woman dragged a big basket and packed it back."

drift?tidy up?

This person is a ghost in terms of words, which scares everyone.

Several big men vomited, and Yu Yao's legs were even weak.

But You Huo didn't change much: "Since what she's doing is killing people, what are you living people afraid of?"

The village chief folded his hands and shook his head with a sad face: "You don't understand, hey... You will know after staying one night."

……

Soon, the village head led them to the end of the frozen river, and walked to the opposite bank on the thick ice.

Those few dusty houses stood in front of them.

When they got closer, they realized that these houses were all made of stone, and the outer walls were uneven.The gray stone surface is painted with chaotic patterns with white paint, and the door is hung with dried branches and worn felt.

One of them is quite special, there are still old crystal balls on the window sill, and some... white things, like finger bones.

Before everyone entered the room, they smelled a scent of incense, which made people dizzy.

The village chief wished he could stay eight feet away from the house.

"This is where the black woman lives." He stretched out his head and glanced, and said, "What time is it?"

Everyone took out their mobile phones one after another, only to find that the time displayed on their screens was 23:13 in the evening, which was obviously out of sync with this place.

Just in a daze, a deep voice rang out: "6:55."

Everyone turned their heads to look over, and it was Qin Chen who spoke.

He shook his mobile phone and said, "It's not bad, it's more accurate than you."

Chen Bin looked surprised: "This handsome guy is a bit amazing! The season time of each exam is different from the reality. How did your mobile phone synchronize like this?"

Qin Chen put the phone back into his pocket and said lazily, "Maybe it's because I'm the invigilator."

Chen Bin let out an "oh" while sorting the bag.

Two seconds later, his hand slipped and the bag fell to the ground.

"Who are you???"

Qin Chen ignored him, but took out a card from his pocket, turned his head and said to You Huo beside him, "Does this count as my helping you once?"

The card was the [Proctor's Help] that Youyou had drawn before.

Youzhuo took the card away, flipped it over, and directly pointed at Qin Chen's nose: "Please read all the words, extra help, do you know what extra means?"

Qin Chen had a half-smile: "I don't really know."

Laugh fart.

You Huo: "Go and look up the dictionary."

Can a candidate ask the invigilator for the time without wearing a watch, is this considered extra help?Of course not, this is the same as dragging the invigilator to the toilet, this is my job.

Of course the card was not scrapped, Qin Chen said "What a pity" and put the card back into his pocket.

The village chief stood in a daze for a while before regaining his senses, and reminded everyone: "The black woman gets up at 7:30 every morning, and the door is closed before then. Let me show you where you live first."

……

Apart from the one where the black woman lived, there were four vacant rooms next to it.

Each room is small, covered with old knitted blankets, has only one bedroom, one bed, and is dressed like a carriage tent.

The village chief said, "I have to trouble you to squeeze."

Of course, the newly joined Chen Bin and Liang Yuanhao lived in the same room. It was inconvenient for Yu Yao, a girl, to live in the same room with other people, so she had a separate room.

Yu Wen, Lao Yu, Mike, You Huo, and Qin Chen were left with two points.

You Huo thought for a while, and asked Qin Jiu: "Is there a small foreign building for your invigilator here?"

Qin Chen: "Thanks to you, the whole test is invigilated, and there is no small western-style building to live in. You have to squeeze in this narrow, cramped, and not-so-clean place."

Youyou pretended not to hear, and said to the village chief with a serious face, "You can figure it out."

Yu Wen said: "Why don't I, Lao Yu, and my brother huddle together, and we all belong to the same family!"

Mike glanced at Qin Chen and refused to follow.

Everyone who saw the invigilator was afraid, counting and counting...except for You Huo.

……

After 2 minutes, everyone carefully watched You Huo and Qin Chen walk into one of them.

Just about to sit down, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the room.

[It is now 7:00 Beijing time, and the exam officially begins. 】

[The first test, listening comprehension. 】

[The original listening text will start playing after 30 minutes, and each question will only be played twice, and candidates are expected to answer the questions seriously. 】

[In addition, candidates and invigilators are prohibited from developing improper relationships, please reassign the room. 】

Everyone: "???"

You Huo: "..."

The system may not want to live.
