Global Examination

"Yes, I've seen it before." The male villager grabbed You Huo's hand.

His palms were as rough as sandpaper, and the skin was sore, hard and cold.

You Huo withdrew his hand, his face was very ugly.

"Where did you see it?" He asked flexing his wrist.

The male villager stood there, thinking blankly for two seconds.As if he didn't hear the question, he repeated: "I must have seen... I have seen it."

"Hey, here we go again." The woman who was about to chisel the ice put down her chisel, sighed and said, "Don't be fooled, this person has this problem."

"What do you mean?"

"He's not doing well here." The woman pointed to her head, and explained: "Once in a while, when I get sick, I like to drag people and say, I see you familiar, have I met you somewhere? Isn't it just asking people, do you know me? Do you remember me?"

As soon as the words fell, the male villager grabbed Qin Chen again and asked in a low voice, "You know me, do you remember me?"

Qin Chen: "..."

The woman said, "Look! That's it."

"Why are you crazy?" Qin Chen asked.

The woman thought about it for a moment, then shook her head and whispered, "It's always been like this."

She said hello, and two other people who were fetching water by the river came over, and one of them helped up the male villager.

"Take him back first, he might be crazy for a while," the woman said.

The two fellow villagers nodded and dragged the male villager into the house.

While being dragged, the male villager grabbed Yu Wen who was closest to him, struggled and said, "I've seen it, I've really seen it."

His skin was gray and his face was covered with dry lines, especially around the corners of his mouth and eyes.There are a few white hairs between the temples, which looks a bit vicissitudes.

Yu Wen was taken aback by him, and felt a little pitiful.

He said: "Don't be so dragging? How about I help you?"

The two villagers shook their heads: "It's okay, no need. We're used to it. He's so strong when he's crazy, you can't hold him back. You can only pull him like this. And..."

One of them said bluntly: "You are the black woman's guests, we... well, we don't welcome strangers into our home."

Soon, the male villager was dragged into a red-roofed house, the door was closed and there was no movement.

This episode made everyone look at each other in dismay.

But these villagers are equivalent to NPCs in the game. It is hard to say whether what happens between NPCs is a fixed daily plot.It is not wise to intervene hastily before finding out what is going on.

So everyone saw it and did not act rashly.

You Huo remembered the house, and then looked away.

After chatting for a long time, the relationship has not become close.The big man lost his patience, and he stopped circling, and simply asked, "Do any of you understand Gypsy?"

The woman began to chip away at the ice again.

She raised her hand high, and the chisel hit the ice hard, bringing up a layer of debris.

Take a look with a bit of ruthlessness.

This kind of scene is inexplicably scary, as if if there is a person lying there, she will chisel it down with such force.

She chiseled it several times, then shook her head and said, "I don't understand, no one understands."

"But the village chief said that the black woman does dead work. If no one understands Gypsy, how can I communicate with her and let her do the work?" Old Yu couldn't help asking.

The woman said: "It's always guests who come to her, we don't use it. And she was not alone in the past. She had old men and a few children. She didn't always speak Gypsy."

Old man?Child?

Everyone felt that the question had reached the point, and suddenly became excited: "Is that the black woman's family?"

The woman nodded: "Yes."

"Where are they? Where did they go?"

The woman shook her head: "I'm gone, I don't know where I went. Maybe I went home? Anyway, it suddenly disappeared."

"Is there anyone who knows?"

The woman shook her head again and said, "No, how dare we ask more about the black woman."

Everyone was depressed again.

You Huo glanced at the setting sun in the distance, and asked, "Is there a grave here?"

The woman's ice-picking hand paused.

She was quiet for a while, then suddenly looked up at everyone and laughed.

With such a smile, her face is much more vivid, but it is also creepy.

She raised her hand clumsily, and pointed casually: "See these woods?"

Everyone glanced around.

The stretch of woods encloses an airtight circle, enclosing the entire mountain village.

The woman smiled and said, "The woods are graves, this circle of woods... are all graves."

……

The setting sun sank completely behind the forest, and the last ray of light disappeared.

The sky darkened unknowingly.

The woman looked up and quickly picked up the iron bucket.

"Wait." You Huo grabbed her.

The woman struggled twice: "What are you doing?! It's dark, don't catch me! I want to go home!"

She was extremely strong, far beyond what You Huo expected, so she was really let go without noticing for a while.

The woman took a few steps back with the bucket in her hand, and urged everyone to say, "Go back to your house quickly. It's getting dark!"

"What's wrong with the darkness? The village chief also said before, you won't come out when it's dark?"

The woman trembled.

She wrapped her scarf tightly, looked around, and said softly, "There are ghosts everywhere in the dark. They will knock on your door, open your window, stand by the bed or get under the bed. You want careful……"

After speaking, she put her index finger on her lips and let out a "shh".

"..."

Everyone was terrified by her "shh".

After the woman said this, she hurried away with the iron bucket.

Under the night, she walked very fast, and in the blink of an eye, she was already in front of the house in the distance.

She opened the door, glanced left and right, and then cautiously got into the house, the doors and windows were closed tightly.

For a while, everything was silent.

There are sporadic lights in several houses, but the light is too dim, and occasionally shakes slightly, which makes people more disturbed.

Chen Bin and the others rubbed their arms and said, "What should I do? I don't have a clue about the listening test. Let's...should we go back and study the recording?"

This is a desperate statement.

There is no translator, the villagers do not understand Gypsy, and it is said that there are ghosts knocking on the door at night... How can they get listening questions?

……

"I'm going into the woods."

You Huo said suddenly.

"Where are you going???" Lao Yu was taken aback by his nephew, but before he could finish asking, the rustling footsteps of You Huo had gone far away.

"Crap." Lao Yu didn't dare to swear at his nephew, spat on the ground, and yelled, "Wait! You should get a lamp!"

You Huo didn't turn his head back, and waved his hand perfunctorily.

Everyone: "..."

Lao Yu hurriedly asked: "Who is so and so! Bring a flashlight! A mobile phone is also fine! I ran out of battery in the afternoon. My mother... I can't watch him go into the graveyard alone!"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

The repeated playback of the recording in the afternoon drained everyone's mobile phone power.

Don't dare to use the remaining bit for lighting, otherwise it will be completely shut down after a few minutes.

"Where are the veterans! Two? Is there anyone with a flashlight?" Old Yu looked at Chen Bin and Liang Yuanhao again.

Liang Yuanhao: "No."

Chen Bin waved his hand in embarrassment: "There are some places for sale in the rest place, but...our score is too poor, so we dare not buy it."

"Then what..." Yu Wen suddenly said, and handed over a slender thing, "I dare... I bought a light stick for 0.5 cents, can it be used?"

Old Yu just went up and said, "I bought everything, what kind of light sticks did you buy! Buying a box of matches is also good!"

Yu Wen shouted: "I've read too many novels... There are some places where you can't use open flames."

Holding a fluorescent stick, he dragged Lao Yu to chase after You Huo.

Yu Yao said softly, "I...I'll go too."

A group of people ran away with You Huo, leaving only Liang Yuanhao and Chen Bin stunned.

"Are they... so reckless in the exam???" Chen Bin murmured, "Then shall we go?"

Liang Yuanhao said with a sullen face, "I've said it all, there are graves all over there. If you want to go, I'm going back to the house."

……

It was so quiet in the woods that there wasn't even a single bird.

You Huo stepped on a few branches and kicked them to the back.

Qin Chen snorted lukewarmly, and said in a dragged tone: "Can you be a little bit civic-minded? There are people behind you."

You Huo didn't say a word, and kicked a few broken branches back.

Qin Chen let out a "tsk".

With your pockets in your pockets, visiting the cemetery is like visiting a park, as if the dark environment does not hinder him.

"Are you sure you don't need a lamp? I can lend it to you." Qin Chen said.

You Huo: "The night vision ability is very good, don't worry about it. Can you shut up and be quiet for a while?"

Qin Chen: "I don't really want to."

You Huo ignored him.

After walking in the forest for a while, Qin Chen stopped and said, "Who is calling for the soul?"

You Huo followed for a while, and heard Yu Wen's trembling voice: "Brother——Brother, where are you——"

You can still vaguely see a green thing, reflecting the faces of several people.

You Huo broke a few branches on the spot, took out the lighter and lit it.

"Over there! I saw it!" Seeing the flames, Yu Wen rushed over screaming.

Old Yu leaned on the tree and panted, "Hey... you... ancestor, what are you looking for?"

You Huo said, "Just take a look."

Everyone's faces turned green.

"... Then, did you see anything? If not, why don't we go back first?" Lao Yu said tentatively.

The wandering tree branch slapped its feet: "Look, there is a row of graves."

Everyone was startled and looked towards the place where the fire was shining.

You Huo's toes were touching a piece of ground, and a row of tombstones were lined up on the ground.

Strange characters are engraved on the stele, like letters and round earthworms.This is very similar to the words on the tablet at the entrance of the village before, and it can be seen that they are all carved by the black woman.

Yu Wen looked confused: "How did you find this kind of place?"

"Hei Po went into this forest in the afternoon." You Huo squatted down, and suddenly waved at Yu Wen: "Do you still have battery in your phone?"

"A little bit."

"Take a picture and copy it on the black lady's door."

Everyone was stunned: "Why?"

Angry black woman? ?

You Huo said, "What's on the tombstone?"

Old Yu said: "The dead person's name, photo, birth and death year."

You Huo has no expression on his face.

Lao Yu's desire to survive broke out, and he said: "There are also relatives of the deceased, who carved it."

Everyone: "..."

Yes!This stele was carved by a black woman!

The name of the black woman must be in the inscription!

Chapter 23 Reading Questions┃You Huo inexplicably felt that there was something missing about this invigilator No. 001.

Yu Wen was taking pictures of the tombstone, and You Huo held a torch to illuminate it.

Suddenly, he felt his right foot being lightly stepped on, and asked Qin Chen dissatisfiedly, "Why step on me?"

Qin Chen: "?"

He looked down and saw that the toe of Youyou's shoe was covered with a few stars of dirt, which was very fresh, as if it had been stepped on.

Qin Chen raised his eyes: "Am I so bored?"

You Huo: "Who knows."

Everyone else was a few steps away from him, but Qin Chen stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and could reach him with a turn of his toes.

Besides, among this group of people, who would dare to play like this?

Just as Mr. 001 was blamed, Yu Wen yelled again: "Who kicked me? The photos are all blurred."

Lao Yu hurriedly said: "I don't have any."

Yu Yao also waved his hand and said, "It's not me."

Yu Wen mumbled, "You're neither him nor him, so who else could there be?"

……

Everyone was quiet for two seconds, and suddenly they all looked at the ground.

You Huo swept away with a torch, and found that the surroundings had changed for no reason.

There were a few places where the soil swelled slightly, and the dead branches and leaves covered on it turned over to the sides, as if... something crawled through the mud in just a dozen seconds.

Everyone froze in place, looking at each other in horror.

The fire light made everyone's faces turn pale, Yu Wen's lips trembled, and when he was about to say something, You You raised his index finger to his lips.

In the silence, there were one after another thin crawling sounds in the woods.

There are echoes in the mountain col at every turn, overlapping distances and nears, and it is impossible to judge where it is coming from.

Some are just like sticking to the feet...

Mike and the others were immediately paralyzed in their lower limbs and did not dare to move at all.

Youzhuo turned around to illuminate a bush.

Under the eyes of everyone, several pale objects flashed by and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Judging by the movement, it seems that they are going to the village.

……

Chen Bin and Liang Yuanhao lived in the same room.

They did not think it wise to venture into the woods at night, nor wise to wander the village.The most flattering way is to hide back in the house and sleep on it.

Standing by the window, Chen Bin said worriedly: "I really don't care about them? This is not good..."

"How many times have you taken the exam? Why are you still so indecisive?" Liang Yuanhao leaned against the sink in the bathroom, splashing water on his face, "This exam is still scored by the team. As long as you answer the questions correctly, everyone will get points. What about rushing up? If they find clues and answers, that would be great, and we don’t owe them anything, and we will find a chance to repay them later.”

Chen Bin: "What if we don't find it? What if something happens?"

Liang Yuanhao paused, wiped his face with a towel, and said vaguely: "Then...they were too reckless, didn't we persuade them? The driver who brought us here, as well as the villagers, have said, don't enter indiscriminately." Lin Zi. They committed the crime knowingly, and they did not spare their lives."

Chen Bin was still listless, Liang Yuanhao said again: "To tell you the truth, I have taken three exams, and this word is what I understand the most. We have to cherish our lives, and we can't all be reckless together. Eggs can't be put in one basket, children We all understand this truth. This is also a way of retreat, in case something happens to someone, we can still take the top."

He was in a daze for a moment, then added: "This is the best way to win."

Chen Bin looked at him and said, "Brother Liang, the way you calculate the winning percentage... looks like a humanoid calculator."

Liang Yuanhao scratched his head, and said irritably: "Don't mention this, I'm going to sleep, you'd better go to sleep too."

……

Each of them rolled up a quilt, not daring to delay, forcing themselves to sleep.

I thought it would take a long time to toss and turn, but who knows that the incense in the room has a miraculous effect on helping sleep, and soon the snoring started.

Suddenly there was a knocking sound from the next room, very soft, but very clear and eerie in the night.

Chen Bin turned over, Liang Yuanhao was still snoring, unaware.

The sound of knocking sounded in several houses one after another, getting closer...

A few minutes later, the knocking sound finally sounded in this room.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

Chen Bin turned over again, his eyelids trembled twice.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

The knocking sounded again.

Chen Bin was shocked and finally woke up.

He didn't dare to open his eyes, and lay still on the bed, listening to the position of the knocking sound.

Then he broke out in a cold sweat...

Because the sound was under the bed, knocking on his back through the bed board.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

The thing seemed to know he was awake.After three more knocks, a soft voice suddenly sounded: "I'm looking for disobedient customers, have you sewed dolls today?"

Chen Bin almost peed on the spot.

He closed his eyes tightly, trying to pretend to be asleep.

The voice was relentless: "Tell me, have you sewed dolls today?"

Liang Yuanhao's calf twitched beside him, and he seemed to have woken up too.

The voice had already stuck to the ears of the two: "One last time, have you sewed dolls today?"

The room was dead silent.

The voice sighed softly: "Oh..."

Liang Yuanhao suddenly yelled: "It's all sewn up!! It's all sewn up!"

"Oh... really obedient guests." The voice said regretfully: "Then you have to live..."

Liang Yuanhao and Chen Bin were in panic, and it took two seconds to digest it before they understood its meaning, and they were a little lucky.

The voice asked again, "Who sews more?"

Liang Yuanhao immediately said: "I! I! I sewed two legs! He only sewed half his arm!"

Chen Bin was stunned.

"That would be wonderful," said the voice.

Liang Yuanhao heaved a sigh of relief, and opened his eyes quietly.

As a result, a cold light flashed.

The last scene he saw was a pale hand holding up a bone-chopping knife, chopping down at his leg.

At that moment, he actually thought of the female villager who was digging ice by the river.

He thought to himself: This action really resembles...

……

Youzhuo and the others spent almost a night in the woods, but they couldn't find those crawling things after searching everywhere.

The traces of soil stirring disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the dead branches and fallen leaves were well spread on the ground, as if they had never been moved.

They didn't come out of the forest until the sky lightened slightly.

"It doesn't seem so scary?" Old Yu murmured, "Everyone said not to go into the forest, we stayed in it all night, and nothing happened."

Yu Wen's face was numb: "If you are scared, you will be full..."

"But life is still there, and we didn't suffer any injuries."

"That's true."

But when they remembered what happened last night, they felt that it was not that simple.

Those pale things passed by, as if they had found other targets and let them go temporarily.

……

It was light soon.

The houses of the villagers are still dark, with dilapidated windows and cobwebs on some doors.

At first glance, it looks like a dilapidated old house.

You Huo suddenly stopped in front of a house.

Everyone was taken aback, and suddenly remembered that this was the house where the lunatic villager lived.

"You guys go first." You Huo dropped these words and knocked on the door of the lunatic's house.

"Are you looking for that villager?" Yu Wen asked, "Do you believe what he said yesterday?"

He knew that You Huo lost his memory, and thought that You Huo would be sensitive to this matter.

Suddenly someone said that he had seen him. Although it looked very unreliable, maybe his brother was curious and wanted to ask?

As a result, he said, "I don't believe it."

He had noticed carefully yesterday that the lunatic looked at him very loosely, but when he looked at Qin Chen, it lit up.

Especially when he said "you know me" to Qin Chen, his expression was serious.

If that lunatic spoke the truth, it would be more true to Qin Chen's part.

But at that time Qin Chen was blocked, didn't see it, and didn't react.

Besides, which NPC this Mr. 001 knows and whether he wants to talk to him or not... none of his business.

You confused thought.

He only came to knock on the door because lunatics are the easiest to talk.

……

They knocked for 5 minutes and got no response.

"Don't you dare to come out? Or didn't you get up? Didn't the village chief say that all the villagers are afraid of things at night, so they will try their best to sleep more deeply and wake up later."

"Wait until evening."

Everyone remembered what the village chief said, and didn't wait here.

As the time for winding up was getting closer, they hurried across the frozen river and gathered in front of the black woman's gate.

On the door, the listening test displayed the day before was clearly visible, but the answer area was still blank.

With the previous experience, they quickly found the pen to answer the question——

This time it is a real pen, but the material is special, it is carved out of white bones.

Yu Wen's scalp felt numb as he grabbed it.

Topic (1) What is the name of the black lady?

He dug out the photo of the tombstone, copied a large section of ghostly symbols in the answer area according to the gourd painting, and didn't even pull down the punctuation.

Just as he was about to copy the second question, he was stopped by You Huo.

"Don't copy it."

"Why?" Yu Wen said, "This tombstone should also have the names of the black mother-in-law's family. We have found the answers to two questions."

You Huo looked at him with an expression as if he wanted to carve the word "stupid" on his face: "Can you save a question for tomorrow morning?"

Yu Wen: "... yes."

……

Candidates, old and young, gathered around the door, eagerly waiting for the results to be released.

You Huo didn't rest all night, leaning against the wall and falling asleep in the morning light.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Qin Chen standing a little further away, with one hand in his pocket and the other hand playing with the help card.

From this angle and distance, Qin Chen's expression could not be seen clearly.

But You Huo inexplicably felt that there was something missing from the No. 001 invigilator.

What exactly, I can't say...

After all, his knowledge of Qin Chen only lasted for a few days.

……

I don't know how long I waited, but Lao Yu suddenly said "Hey" and asked in doubt: "The paper will be closed soon, that Chen Bin and that... Why is Liang Yuanhao still not getting up?"

"I don't know, the crow just reminded me once, should I wake up?"

Old Yu said: "You wait to open the door, I'll call them."

As he spoke, he turned to knock on the doors of Chen Bin and Liang Yuanhao's rooms.

There was a knock on the door and a crow almost simultaneously.

It's time for the first roll-up.

On the door of the black woman's room, two words were picked out from the dense tombstone inscriptions and drawn in a circle.

Floure Jaroka

Add 5 points.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and cheered up.

Golden thighs are indeed golden thighs.

Immediately afterwards, a new problem appeared on the lower half of the door.

Reading question: The annual witchcraft festival in Chasu Village is here, and the black woman has prepared gifts for the villagers early.You guessed it right, it is a carefully sewn doll.She wrote a long prayer letter, in which she sent congratulations to each villager.Read the prayer letter, and according to the information in the letter, help the black woman to send the doll to the correct villager.The god of witchcraft is above, and those who are not careful will always be punished.For those who are careful, the villagers will point out the direction for them to go home, and there is a way home where there are no trees.Can you find it?
