Global Examination

More people will reduce the sense of fear.

More people will enhance the fun.

Lots of people... a lot of serious stuff gets a little funny.

It's like when you were in high school, the teacher pointed out the window and said to a student: "You stand up for me!"

This is punishment.

Say to a class of students: "You all stand up for me!"

This is the big show of the exhibition.

This is how the three invigilators felt when they brought back all the offending candidates.

It's ridiculous.

922 looked at the black-and-white heads in the hut, and couldn't even pretend to be prudish.

He said seriously, "I might throw a home party."

154 rubbed his temples, still trying to pretend: "...don't make trouble."

It's actually kind of like that.

922 said with emotion: "When was the proctoring office so lively?"

154 Give up struggling: "...Yeah"

922: "The boss is the boss."

154: "...Ah."

Just after the "ah", the system's backhand is a violation reminder.

The little red lights of the two invigilators all turned on "Didi".

021 sneered next to him, and said in his heart that it made you smile and sigh, our seniors are the best.

She kicked the idiot 922 with the tip of her high-heeled shoe and said, "Stop standing still, take him downstairs, there's not enough standing here."

922 said: "Miss, is downstairs enough? We only have three rooms. Three people can enter at a time, and the line can be queued until this time tomorrow."

"At this time, don't pay attention to the single room, let them be together." 154 said.

***

The basement fully continues the characteristics of the proctor's office and is consistent with the style of the examination room.

It looks like the dungeon under the church—

Going down the stone steps, you will see an underground alleyway. Wall fires are burning in the semi-curved stone grooves on the wall, dividing light and dark into two color blocks.

At the end of the alley are three horizontal rooms, like a prison cell made of stone, with narrow black doors.

Perhaps it was to create a sense of claustrophobia, the entire basement was only lit by the fire just now, and the others were half-hidden in dim shadows.

021 frowned when he came down.

922 muttered bluntly: "There are so many kinds of confinement rooms, I don't like this style the least."

"Stop complaining, okay? This is already after I cleaned it, it was more realistic before, and it was damp everywhere." 154 said angrily.

The examinees stood still at the end of the alley, looking at each other.

A certain bold man raised his hand and asked, "Invigilator, can I ask what the punishment is?"

"Ah, you don't know?" 922 said subconsciously.

The examinee was confused: "I...should know?"

The three invigilators froze for a moment, and suddenly realized that they had been numb by You Huo and Qin Chen, and almost made them forget that the really normal examinees actually knew nothing about punishment and would feel a little uneasy.

154 coughed next to him, and said with a serious face: "In the case of the first violation of the rules in this exam, the offending candidates will be locked up for three hours each."

"Will it be life-threatening?"

"Normally not." 154 said.

generally?

The faces of several timid candidates became ugly again.

154 hesitated for a moment, and added: "You will see the scene you fear most in the confinement room, or people or things. If you know it in your heart, your life will not be in danger."

Just after finishing speaking, his little red light beeped again.

His first reaction was that the system tonight was very unkind, and he would get angry when he provoked him, and he was much stricter than usual.

But when he opened the door of the first confinement room, secretly rejoicing that a hodgepodge of multiple people might reduce the danger, he suddenly realized...

It's not that the system is particularly rude, but that he doesn't know when his position has become more and more biased towards candidates.

In other words, the position of these invigilators in favor of candidates became more and more obvious, and sometimes they didn't even cover up between the lines.

They are becoming more and more unruly.

In the past, when he saw a red light, he would become cautious in an instant.

And today, the red light came on twice, and he didn't even glance at it.

Not only him, but also 922 and 021.

This is probably influenced by some two people.

"Why are you in a daze." 922 suddenly patted him, "What are you thinking?"

154 regained consciousness and said, "I didn't think about anything."

922 glanced at him again, and then turned around to arrange candidates.

This idiot tried to cram 19 people into the same solitary cell, probably secretly trying to reduce the risk for them too.After all, if the number of people reaches a certain level, the horror scene may become completely different, and no one will be scared anymore.

What's more, if there are companions, they can also help each other.

But as soon as the fifth one was stuffed, the sound of the system suddenly sounded in the basement.

Although there was no ups and downs in his tone, he could vaguely feel that it had been held back for a long time, and it was a bit unbearable.

[Warning, the upper limit of the number of people in a single confinement room is 5, which is a violation of the rules. 】

922 said: "There are only 3 of those 15 rooms, how about 4 more?"

[The remaining candidates who violated the rules should wait patiently on the bench outside the confinement room, and should not play or make noise. 】

922: "Oh..."

He tried to squeeze Qin Chen, You Huo, and Gao Qi into three doors respectively. With these three leading them, the confinement room would be better.

Unexpectedly, the system sounded again.

[Candidates Pang An, Meng Cenchen, Li Hao, Zhang Rui, and Xu Xinxin entered the No. 2 confinement room in sequence. 】

922:"……"

Alright, let's start calling.

It's not a party, it's a bank.

The system reported another five names, and let those people enter the No. 3 confinement room, and then said:

[Candidates Qin Jiu, You Huo, Gao Qi, and Zhao Hong, please wait. 】

Hearing this, 922 finally frowned.

Even a fool like him could feel the malice coming to his face.

According to his understanding, this candidate named Zhao Hong also performed very well, and he was the one who scored the most points in this exam besides those three.

Put these four cards in the second batch, the intention of the system is too obvious——

First, it can prevent the confinement room from becoming too simple.

Secondly, others can return to the examination room after three hours, and they have to stay here for six hours.

It not only prolongs the punishment time, but also drives them away from the examination room in a disguised form.

These few are not here, who knows what the resurrected Duke will do?

He can figure it out, and the boss must understand it too.

922 sent the last group of candidates into the confinement room, turned his head and glanced at Qin Chen, only to find that the other party pinched the bridge of his nose and seemed uncomfortable

"What's the matter, boss?" He and 154 approached.

Qin Chen had already put down his hands, and looked no different from usual: "What's wrong?"

922 felt that he might be dazzled again.

They didn't say much, they greeted each other and went upstairs one after another.

There are really a few benches outside the confinement room. They are said to be benches, but they are actually stone platforms.

Candidate Zhao Hong was still immersed in the excitement of scoring, and couldn't sit still for a while.

He walked back and forth a few steps, and was about to say, "Bosses, come! Let's discuss what to do next", when the boss No. 1 threw a sentence, "I'm sleepy, I'll sleep for a while."

You Huo casually found a "bench" in a corner to lie down, and quickly fell asleep with his hands on his head.

Zhao Hong looked at Qin Chen again.

He sat down on the stone platform next to You Huo, and said, "I'll stay with you for a while too."

There was no movement either.

Gao Qi looked at him puzzled, and muttered, "A is a little lethargic now, I know, why are you here?"

Qin Chen was already resting his eyes with his eyes closed, but he didn't open his eyes when he heard the words, and said lazily, "You must have been infected after staying for a long time."

Gao Qi let out a "heh", thinking that he was showing off again.

Zhao Hong looked at him again, and he pointed to the stone platform and said, "Why don't we sleep too?"

Zhao Hong: "..."

Are you here to catch up on sleep?

Gao Qi slept as soon as he said he would sleep, and soon there was a soft snoring sound in the basement.

Zhao Hong was lying on the stone platform, and he could vaguely hear the cries in the confinement room, not heartbreaking, but terrified.

After listening to it for a while, he couldn't fall asleep any more, and simply opened his eyes and became dazed.

Qin Chen and You Huo were very close to Zhao Hong, his eyes turned and turned, and he couldn't help but stare at those two.

I don't know if it was because of the dim light, but Qin Chen frowned slightly after falling asleep, showing a trace of tiredness.

Zhao Hong didn't know them very well, but his impression of them was that they were too powerful.

He subconsciously thought: Are they tired too?

But then I feel that this idea is really weird, how can people not be tired?

He was about to continue to stare blankly, when he looked back, he glanced at You Huo's elbow covering his face, and suddenly stopped with a "hiss".

Because there was a large red patch beside Youhuo's wrist.

Zhao Hong took a closer look and found that it was actually an injury.

A large bloody wound.

It's so weird.

Because when You Huo just lay down ten minutes ago, the wound didn't exist yet.

Zhao Hong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized——

The contagion from the people in the church is kicking in...

***

You Huo knew that he had a fever, and his bones and joints were sore.

Perhaps it was because of his exhaustion that he didn't sleep well this time, and had many fragmentary dreams for the first time.

He dreamed of that familiar house again.

Dreamed about the basement again.

In the dream, the surrounding environment was as dark as the proctor's office, with only one corridor light on.

He came out of the confinement room and closed the door behind his back.

For some reason, his hair and neck were damp with sweat.

……

But he was meticulous about buttoning the collar of his shirt, only the sleeves were turned up a little and rolled up to the elbows.

He went up the stairs, took a set of clean clothes from the back of the sofa in the living room, and turned to the bathroom on the first floor.

Just two steps away, a voice suddenly sounded in the house.

This voice annoyed him very much in reality, but it was even more annoying in his dream.

[Proctor A, why do you need to take a shower when you come out of the confinement room? 】

You Huo frowned, and then returned to a cold look.

"Is it interesting to stare at it 24 hours a day?"

The system voice sounded again:

【This is where my responsibility lies and where my ability lies. The most important thing is to comply with the regulations. 】

This is subtly different from the system in the examination room, speaking more like a human.

However, 922 did say that the system in the proctoring area is smarter than that in the examination room, and it is everywhere except the confinement room.

You Huo in the dream didn't make a sound, and took out a towel from the drawer on his own.

The system is unrelenting:

[You haven't answered yet, why do you need to take a shower when you come out of the confinement room? 】

Youzhuo paused, and then said coldly after a while: "Because it's boring."

The system fell silent, and said a few seconds later:

[However, according to the records, the temperature has not risen 15 days ago, and it is the same when you come out of the confinement room. 】

You Huo: "..."

You Huo threw the clothes on the glazed table, supported the table for a moment of silence, and said, "I said it because it was boring. When are you going to move the confinement room to the ground?"

system:

[Don't move, the comfort of the confinement room environment determines the intensity of the punishment, and I will never move. 】
