Was an invigilator human?
At least not in the eyes of the examinees.
But when Qin Jiu spoke, Lao Yu did not dare to protest.
They were afraid of him.
In fact, Invigilator 001 had not done anything scary since the start of the exam.
He had not exercised his authority, caught anyone breaking the rules, or confiscated any items, but the examinees were still afraid of him.
This was because everyone thought that the invigilator was part of the system, the eyes and claws of the system.
The exam system was scary, so the invigilator was the same. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one wanted to provoke him.
Oh … You Huo was an exception.
Lao Yu had a headache when he thought of You Huo. When he thought of the "unruly" You Huo being alone with the invigilator, his whole body ached.
"How about I don't go to the forest either," he said.
"It's all because of you that I'm alive. I can't leave you here and we'll take refuge ourselves," Yu Yao whispered. "What if I can help?"
The others agreed, but they were all rejected.
You Huo said, "It's too noisy with too many people" and ignored them.
Everyone could not persuade him, but they were afraid that they would be a burden if they disobeyed, so they could only compromise.

The sky was getting dark, and a few more villagers came out from the other side of the river. They were chiseling the ice as usual.
"It seems to be the same few?" Yu Wen counted the heads through the window. "The one in the long coat, is that the big sister from yesterday? And that lunatic … the two in the leather hat, did they drag the lunatic into the house yesterday? "
This student played a lot of mobile phones and games, but his eyesight was very good. He had never worn glasses until now.
The others could not see that far, but based on his description, it seemed to be the case.
You Huo looked for a moment, then his gaze fell back to the wooden frame.
Previously, when Black Granny was counting heads, he had also counted.
There were a total of 16 completed Dolls, and he remembered the approximate distribution.
But now, looking at it again, a few of the Dolls seemed to have … quietly moved?
If he remembered correctly, the Doll on the leftmost side of the first floor had been lying horizontally in the afternoon, but now she was sitting upright …
You Huo walked to the wooden shelf and was about to take a closer look when the Black Lady came back.
The first thing she did when she entered the room was to check the results.
What made her unhappy was that all the guests were empty-handed and no one listened to her!
Black Lady stared at him silently for a moment, then suddenly sneered. She staggered to the wall where the Judgment card Yu Yao had drawn was pinned. She giggled and flipped the "Judgement" card upside down.
"…"
Everyone was dumbfounded by this action.
The card had already been drawn, how could he still move?!
They didn't understand the meaning of the cards, but their instincts told them that it wasn't a good thing.
Yu Yao trembled as he muttered, "If it's a handstand … it would mean the opposite."
The opposite of resurrection and hope, wasn't that death and despair?
Black Lady took out another cloth bag.
She swept all the Dolls on the wooden shelf into the cloth bag, then picked out four unfinished dolls from the bamboo basket and threw them in together. She stuffed the cloth bag to You Huo who was closest to her.
The four half-finished dolls were very old, and one of them was dirty as if it had been rolled on the ground or accidentally burned by fire …
·
As soon as they received the Doll, they were chased out of the door by the Black Lady.
Today's hourglass was slower than yesterday. By the time they finished, the villagers had already finished chiseling the ice and returned to their houses.
The villagers would turn hostile once they closed their doors. No one would open the door, so they didn't waste any time.
They split into two groups. You Huo and Qin Jiu went into the house, while the others went along the frozen river to the forest.
"I still don't understand why the villagers are so afraid of the forest." Yu Wen muttered, "Although it's all graves, there aren't many above ground. It's scary, but it's better than staying in the house, right? "
Lao Yu: "Who knows."
Yu Yao said, "There must be a reason to be afraid …"
Although they wanted to avoid danger, they were still worried about You Huo, so they didn't go deep into the forest, but wandered around the edge.
"Let's just wait here." Yu Wen shaded his eyes with his hand and looked around. "There's no cover here. We can directly see my brother's house."
Naturally, no one objected. They sat down on the ground and gnawed on the hard dry bread as they waited for the night to come.
·
Inside the house with the lights on.
You Huo looked through the cupboards one by one. Qin Jiu sat on the sofa and broke the baguette in half.
"I'll give you half, how about that?" He said.
"No need." You Huo didn't even turn his head.
He was so far away from the sofa, but he could hear the terrible cracking sound of the bread. It was obvious how dry it was.
Qin Jiu's voice sounded again. "Not satisfied? Then I'll give you most of it. "
You Huo had been hungry for the whole day and was in a bad mood.
He closed the cupboard door with a bang and walked past the sofa without looking sideways. "If you want to choke to death, don't drag me along."
Cupboards, fireplaces, wooden boxes, iron cans …
From the living room to the kitchen to the bedroom, he had searched everywhere he could, but he really couldn't find a second food.
Why didn't this unlucky examination room explode?
You Huo straightened up unhappily, but his face was touched by something.
He looked down and saw half a piece of bread in front of his face, like a threatening knife against his neck.
Qin Jiu said from behind him, "Don't struggle, I've already searched. There's nothing else to eat."
You Huo was expressionless and refused to compromise.
This unprofessional invigilator touched You Huo's mouth with the bread and said, "I suggest you try it. It's not as bad as you think. I've never had an examinee starve to death under me, so don't be so unconventional. "
You Huo's face stiffened with disgust for a moment, but he took it heavily.
"There are obviously three invigilators, so why are you the one monitoring the whole process?" You Huo broke off a piece of bread and asked coldly.
Qin Jiu returned to the sofa and put tea leaves in the pot that had been boiled clean.
He placed the crooked pot on the brazier, then raised his eyelids and asked, "According to the rules of the examination room, monitoring the whole process is usually done by the main invigilator. Unfortunately, I'm that unlucky person. Why, who do you want? "
You Huo said, "922, 154, anyone."
At least they knew to bring beef.
The simple stove was very hot, and the pot soon made a sizzling sound.
Qin Jiu squinted his eyes in the hot air and said, "I'll tell them for you. They'll be overjoyed to be remembered by the examinees."
Good words, coming out of his mouth, sounded very sarcastic.
You Huo ignored him.
The tea boiled and the room was quiet for a moment.
You Huo stuffed a few mouthfuls of dry bread into his mouth and lost his appetite. He patted the bread crumbs and looked at Qin Jiu and asked, "You're the main invigilator?"
Qin Jiu said, "Don't look like it?"
You Huo said, "Who set the number?"
"Ability? Combat strength? It's said that there are many factors. "
Qin Jiu didn't seem to care about anything. Even when it came to things related to himself, he used the word "it's said".
You Huo said, "So 001 is number one?"
