After the question was updated, everyone was still in a daze. Suddenly, there was a sound in the room …
It sounded like sharp nails scratching a wooden board.
"Who, who is it?"
Everyone's hair stood on end and they looked around for the source of the sound.
In such a scary environment, no one wanted to be alone. No one wanted to leave the crowd to look for the source. They could only look around.
Until someone suddenly broke down and cried, "Behind me, behind me! Behind me! Help … "
The person who cried was Baldy.
He was the only one who did not go to the wall to join in the fun.
From the beginning to the end, he stayed alone at the dining table, as if he was paralyzed from the neck down. He curled up in the seat he had chosen.
Baldy had fainted because of the hunter's armor, and now he was awakened by the scratching sound.
He cried out in panic, "It's behind me, help me! Help me, help me! "
"But there's no one behind you …" Yu Yao said softly.
"Yes, there's no one …"
Baldy heard this and cried even harder.
No one dared to get close. They could only wave at Baldy and say, "Don't be paralyzed! Come over first! Come over quickly! "
"I can't move! This chair … I can't move, it's pulling me! "Baldy was so panicked that he was incoherent.
"You mean, you can't move once you sit on this chair?"
"Yes, I can't move … It wants me dead, it wants me dead!" Baldy cried.
Everyone was frightened and moved away from the dining table. You Huo walked over alone.
"Brother?" Yu Wen called out.
He originally wanted to stop You Huo from taking the risk, but when he thought about his brother's performance, and then he thought about his own ridiculous negative one point, he decided to follow You Huo.
They went behind Baldy and finally found the source of the sound —
Behind Baldy's chair, sawdust fell like an invisible hand scraping the surface of the chair, revealing the light-colored core.
Yu Wen said, "It's writing?!"
You Huo said, "Yes."
This big boss was more patient with "ghosts" than with humans. He just waited at the side with his arms crossed.
The examinees in the room hesitated for a moment before hurriedly following behind You Huo.
“12！ It says 12! "The tattooed man shouted.
Then, the sound of nails scratching could be heard from the chair next to him.
You Huo took two steps in that direction, and a large group of people followed. He stopped in his tracks, and the crowd came to a screeching halt.
"…"
You Huo suspected that they were not taking the physics exam, but Ghost Catches Chicken.
·
The sound of fingernails scratching lasted for five minutes, and each seat at the table had an additional number.
Numbers 1 to 12 corresponded to each other, and their effects were clear at a glance.
If you find the cutlery set, just write the number on the answer wall.
Yu Wen guessed, "Sister Yu Yao and my answers have been circled to add points. It's all related to refraction. Does that mean … we need to use refraction to find that set of tableware? "
"That should be it." Everyone chimed in. "But, what is refraction?"
Yu Wen, "…"
His frozen expression was too funny, and Yu Yao couldn't hold back and let out a pfft.
She was always crying, weak and plaintive. This was the first time she had an expression other than crying, and even she was stunned for a moment.
She stood in place for a moment, then suddenly walked back into the crowd and patiently explained the meaning of "refraction" to a few old people.
Yu Wen thawed out from his frozen state, and when he looked up, he saw You Huo in a daze.
"Brother …" Yu Wen quietly moved to his side.
He followed You Huo's gaze, and there was a group of old people, a broken sofa, and three invigilators sitting on the sofa.
This idiot whispered, "Why are you looking at the invigilators?"
You Huo heard this, and looked down at him from above.
Yu Wen retracted his neck and said embarrassedly, "Forget it, forget it, just look, I won't ask anymore."
·
Although they had survived the first round of exam papers and won another six hours of time, no one felt that they had enough time.
Everyone stared at the tableware on the table as if they were appraising treasures.
"Can this plate be touched?" The tattooed man muttered, "If I pick it up and take a look, will it count as me choosing a seat?"
"It's best not to touch it, damn —"
Before Lao Yu could finish, You Huo picked up a goblet.
Lao Yu, "— — That's impossible!"
The tattooed man rolled his eyes.
Everyone stared at You Huo in bewilderment, and when they saw that he was standing properly and wasn't forced into the chair, they were relieved and picked up the tableware to check.
"How dare you!" Lao Yu hurried over to You Huo, his nephew, and asked, "What if taking a cup counts?!"
You Huo picked up a second cup, "No, I took one in the kitchen."
Lao Yu, "…"
You're quite proud?
Lao Yu was so angry that he almost bled, but he didn't dare to scold his nephew out of fear. He could only stare at him from an angle that You Huo couldn't see.
"Dad, move aside."
Yu Wen went past Lao Yu to get a silver spoon. He didn't see anything special, so he changed to a silver fork.
At first glance, these were the most ordinary things. The plate was made of white porcelain without any patterns, and the silver spoon and fork were very simple.
When he changed to a sauce cup, he finally realized that his brother didn't touch anything else at all.
"Brother, why are you only looking at the cups?" Yu Wen couldn't help but ask.
"There's no need for anything else." You Huo put down the third cup and didn't look anymore. He directly left the table.
"There's no need?" Yu Wen was stunned.
While he was in a daze, the tattooed man had already looked around half of the table. He complained irritably, "There's nothing in these shitty things, what's the point of hiding secrets!"
Another person also said dejectedly, "The question is getting more and more mysterious. There's not even a hint, how can we find it?"
·
You Huo half-squatted next to Hunter A's corpse and picked up a glass shard to look at.
To him, the question revealed a lot of clues.
Previously in the kitchen, he played Hunter A and found that the other party was particularly interested in these goblets. When Hunter A smashed a cup, the question said, "There are only 12 sets of tableware left."
This meant that, for the question, the only thing that was actually effective in a set of tableware was the glass goblet.
Therefore, the so-called secret must be hidden in the cup.
Yu Wen stared at the answer wall for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh and jumped up, "Oh — — Brother, I understand! Everything else is useless! Only the cup is a tableware! "
Everyone held plates, forks, and spoons and stood there in a daze.
Yu Wen waved his hand to mobilize the crowd, "Don't look at those, just look at the cup!"
He shot over and slammed the brakes next to Hunter A. He sat on the ground and wanted to be praised, "I'm pretty smart, aren't I?"
You Huo snorted half-heartedly.
·
However, the excitement didn't last long.
After a while, everyone was dejected again.
They looked at every cup, tried to breathe, tried to warm it, and tried to shake it. They looked it up and down, but didn't find anything strange.
On the sofa.
922 cracked his knuckles and said, "I'm a little anxious, and a little hungry. Is invigilating the whole test so torturous? "
154 said, "Bear with it, it's still early, there are still 36 hours."
922's face was full of despair.
Qin Jiu supported his head and looked across the long table to a corner.
There, You Huo was looking at the broken goblets with his back facing them, his shoulder blades and back stretched out in a beautiful arc.
He looked down for a long time and suddenly said, "Have you seen him before?"
154 was stunned, "Who?"
922 was even more confused, "Huh?"
This reaction was enough to explain everything.
Qin Jiu was quiet for a moment and said lazily, "No one, if you're really hungry, go to the kitchen and get something to eat."
154 and 922 glanced into the kitchen and said with a wooden face, "Not hungry at all."
After a few seconds, 922 rubbed his hands and stood up and said, "Well … I'll go to the kitchen and take a look."
154 was convinced, "… You can even do that kind of kitchen?"
922 said, "I'll just take a look."
After he walked away, 154 stared at the examinee for a while. Suddenly, he understood what Qin Jing had just asked. He glanced at You Huo, and then looked at Qin Jiu hesitantly.
After looking in silence for a minute, their boss finally said, "Am I dead? Why are you looking at me like you're guarding a coffin?"
154: "…"
Qin Jiu glanced at him, "If you have something to say, say it."
154 thought for a moment and said, "I just want to say … If we've seen each other, the gentleman who violated the rules should recognize us."
Qin Jiu's gaze returned to You Huo.
After a moment, he said, "Mm."
154 was right, if they had really seen each other, they wouldn't have such a reaction.
It couldn't be that any random person had lost a part of their memory like him, how could there be such a coincidence?
·
922 walked around the kitchen twice and finally chose to change his position.
He returned to the sofa, knelt on the ground, opened his suitcase, and took out a grill and a box of cut beef. As soon as he opened the lid, he heard Yu Wen scream at the dining table, "Brother, don't be rash!"
The three invigilators turned their heads and saw You Huo pick up the bottom of the Hunter A cup and knock it on the edge of the table.
There was a crack.
The bottom of the cup broke again …
922's hand trembled, and the beef spilled all over his trousers.
He carried the remaining half of the box and asked 154, "Can I take him in as a colleague after violating the rules four times? I don't want to be his invigilator anymore. "
154: "…"
