Judging from where he stood, the man in the lead should be Invigilator 001.
He was like a visitor avoiding the snow. As he sized up the room, he took off his black leather gloves and said with a smile, "Not bad, you know how to start a fire. The snow outside is a little heavy, it's quite cold to come here. "
No one laughed back.
Most of the people in the room shrank back.
As if he didn't see this reaction, he walked to the stove and used the fire to warm his hands. The smile from before was still on his lips, with a hint of lazy banter.
The snow that fell on his shoulders and collar slowly disappeared, leaving a wet mark that was slowly dried.
Everyone stared at him, but no one dared to speak.
The iron can was thrown out and turned into powder, but they came all the way here and didn't even have a scratch on their skin.
Yu Wen hid behind You Huo and trembled, resonating with You Huo.
This good-for-nothing asked in a low voice, "Are they still human?"
Mr. 001 seemed to have heard him and turned to look at You Huo.
His eyes were extremely black and were hidden in the shadows of the backlight. Occasionally, the light of the lights would be cast in, but it was fleeting. But that sense of banter still didn't dissipate.
You Huo looked at him expressionlessly, pressed down on the trembling spirit behind him, and asked calmly, "Can you shut up?"
Yu Wen didn't dare to move.
·
It wasn't until Mr. 001 finished warming the fire and put on his gloves again that the invigilator at the door said in a businesslike tone, "We are the invigilators this time. I am Number 154. I just received news that two of you didn't answer the questions according to the rules."
The big-bellied Yu Yao's face was pale. She couldn't stand to begin with, and now she was about to faint.
She was like a faucet, with tears gushing out.
As for the bald man tied to the sofa … he didn't dare to breathe anymore.
"But …"
Someone suddenly spoke.
Invigilator 154 stopped talking and looked at the person who spoke.
Yu Wen suddenly stuck his head out from behind You Huo.
What was surprising was that the person who was not afraid of death was his drunkard father, Lao Yu.
"In … in the beginning, there were no rules about what we had to use to answer the questions," Lao Yu stammered.
"There are hints for all rules," said 154.
"Where's the hint?"
Number 154 looked at him expressionlessly. "I'm not a candidate."
"But, but we don't know! The ignorant are not guilty … "Lao Yu's voice became softer and softer as he spoke. In the end, he sounded like a mosquito.
Number 154: "That has nothing to do with us."
Number 154 continued to speak in a businesslike manner, "We will only punish the relevant personnel who violated the rules. The others will continue with the exam."
As he spoke, he took out a white piece of paper and read the message written on it.
"According to the information we received, the offenders were a middle-aged man and a young lady —"
He turned to look at Mr. 001, then turned back to look at the note. He paused for a few seconds, then repeated with a straight face, "A middle-aged man and a woman. The two offenders will come with us. "
As he spoke, the other invigilator, Number 922, had already picked up the bald man on the sofa and dragged him to the door like a dead dog.
The door was opened, and the cold wind whistled in.
Snow pelted their faces. The people in the room screamed and shrank to the fireplace, as if they would be turned to ashes if they were touched by the snow.
Everyone watched as Invigilator 922 stepped out of the room with the bald man and suddenly disappeared into the wind and snow.
They left behind the bald man's terrified howls and a puddle of water on the ground.
Number 154 continued to wear a poker face and said, "There's also a little, um, a lady …"
He looked up and frowned as he scanned the room.
Lao Yu and the two kind old ladies took advantage of the chaos to shield Yu Yao behind them, but they were trembling like a sieve.
Number 154's gaze was just about to fall on that spot when Mr. 001 raised his chin at You Huo. "The other one is him. Take him away."
"Who?"
Number 154 lowered his head and looked at the note.
The sharp and scrawled handwriting on it clearly said, "Little Girl."
Number 154 looked at You Huo with a blank face.
You Huo, who was being stared at, frowned and stared at Mr. 001 with a cold expression.
Number 154 had no doubt that if this cold-faced handsome man had a knife in his hand, his boss's head would have been chopped off.
"This —"
Just as he was about to speak, Mr. 001, who had given the order, turned up the collar of his coat and walked into the wind and snow.
…
·
"F * ck! Brother!! "
"F * ck!! Why are you guys being so unreasonable!! "Lao Yu jumped up.
"It's not him! It's me! It's not him — "Yu Yao was confused for two seconds before he hurriedly pushed through the people and squeezed out.
In the end, he saw that the door was open. The sand-like snow was blown in by the wind and rushed in handfuls.
There was no one by the door.
The three invigilators had already disappeared silently with the bald man and You Huo, who had been caught by mistake.
"Stop shouting! They're gone. If you have the guts, go after them! "The tattooed man spat. He strode over and slammed the door shut, then hung two more locks.
The room immediately quieted down. Lao Yu's eyes were bloodshot. He slapped his thigh in anger and sat down heavily on the ground.
Yu Yao fell back into the chair and cried even harder.
She hadn't stopped crying since she entered the room. She had almost cried a lifetime's worth of tears.
Yu Wen stood frozen at the door with a pale face for a long time. He turned his head and picked up his father. He frowned and said in a low voice, "My brother left me a message."
"What?" Lao Yu was shocked.
The invigilators were inhumanly fast. You Huo still had time to leave a message?
"He told me to find a knife," Yu Wen said.
"What knife?"
Yu Wen shook his head slowly. He didn't answer. Instead, he turned his head to look at the wall of questions.
Lao Yu followed his gaze.
He first glanced around aimlessly. Finally, his gaze fixed on one spot.
It was a few thin knife marks.
"Who drew it?" Lao Yu was stunned.
Yu Wen said, "It was there before the questions were shown. I saw it."
He thought about it again and finally understood his brother's previous actions.
"I know."
Lao Yu was confused. "What do you know now?"
"Brother kept saying that he was looking for a pen, but what he was looking for was an axe and hunting equipment." Yu Wen looked at the knife marks on the wall and said, "Didn't the invigilators say that all the rules have hints? Those knife marks are the hints."
Ink couldn't leave a mark on it, but that knife could.
So it was the prescribed pen.
Lao Yu's eyes lit up. He muttered, "It's really amazing."
Yu Wen said, "Huh?"
"Then let's go find a knife! It'll be a bit of help. "
Lao Yu was about to turn his head and announce the news grandly when Yu Wen pressed his mouth firmly.
"No, no, no, don't!"
Yu Wen pretended to comfort Lao Yu. He patted Lao Yu's back and said, "Don't worry, my brother will be fine!"
Old Yu's blood was about to come out.
He said in a very low voice, "Brother said that …
, the knife was hidden. "
·
The snow fell even harder.
The wind was erratic and blew in all directions. It was foggy everywhere. The silhouettes of the mountains and trees couldn't be seen clearly, but there were lights in the distance.
You Huo walked in the snow with a cold face.
The moment he was pushed out of the door, the house behind him disappeared. He couldn't go back even if he wanted to.
But one thing was certain — — with the invigilators accompanying them, they wouldn't be smashed to pieces in the snow.
But compared to the snow, the invigilators made him more worried.
Baldy was still wailing, making him feel like a funeral procession. Fortunately, the road wasn't very long. Before he froze to death, he finally saw the house.
It was a small bungalow, surrounded by a forest all by itself.
Generally speaking, ghost movies liked to film this kind of house.
"We're here." Number 154 pushed You Huo into the house.
Under the light, You Huo's good-looking face was probably frozen stiff. His thin lips were tightly pursed, his skin was cold and white, and the smell of indifference hit him in the face.
He didn't know which ghost decorated this small house. The first floor was full of murals and sculptures, big and small, filling the corners. When he turned his head, he could see a stiff white face.
Baldy sat on the ground as soon as he entered the house.
Seeing that another puddle of water was about to form, Number 922 didn't hesitate to drag him into the corridor.
Baldy's cries came from the other side. "What are you doing? I was wrong, I was wrong — — I won't mess around anymore! What are you doing? "
"Scared?"
A deep voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
Mr. 001 was standing next to You Huo, taking off his gloves and asking casually.
You Huo glanced at him, then walked past him and went in.
Number 154 glanced at You Huo and then at 001.
"Why are you looking at me?" Invigilator 001 raised his chin toward the corridor and said lazily, "Hurry up, someone can't wait."
·
The small western-style house didn't look big, but the corridor was very long.
It was so long that it made people wonder if they had run into a ghost wall and couldn't walk out.
Fortunately, it wasn't really endless.
A few minutes later, Number 922 stopped in front, opened a door, pushed Baldy in, and locked it.
You Huo finally asked with a cold face, "What's the punishment?"
Number 154 was stunned for a moment and said, "Detention."
You Huo: "…"
He felt that this group of people might be addicted to playing house.
He glanced at Number 154.
154 said, "I'm not lying to you, it's indeed detention."
For some reason, as an invigilator, his voice was a little tense when he said this.
"You're afraid," You Huo said. "Have you been locked up before?"
154 frowned. "What's there to be afraid of? You need to be afraid."
As soon as he said this, he felt a little strange under his feet. The feeling of the soles of his shoes was different. It seemed to have become a little … sticky.
Then, he heard a faint sound of water.
He looked down and saw thick water seeping out from under one of the doors.
The door was closed, Baldy.
After being stunned for two seconds, he realized that it was blood.
In less than two seconds, Baldy's cries could be heard through the door. Because of the good soundproofing, it sounded stuffy and distant. But even so, one could still hear the mournful and broken voice.
"Don't worry, you won't die." As 154 spoke, he opened another door on the opposite side. While You Huo was in a daze, he pushed him in. "Hurry up."
With that, he slammed the door shut and locked it from the outside.
You Huo heard his muffled voice come through the crack in the door. "It's just the wrong stationery, there's no need to be so cruel. Detention will only make you experience the most terrifying thing in your life over and over again. I'll come pick you up in three hours. "
·
In a room on the second floor of the bungalow, Invigilator 001 sat in an armchair with one hand supporting his chin.
There was a metal bird stand on the table, and a pitch-black bird stood on it.
His gaze fell on the snowy forest outside the window. His fingers were fiddling with the bird's head. His face was expressionless, and he looked a little bored.
Invigilator 922 was complaining crazily. "F * ck, he peed on me four times on the way here. Every time I said something, he peed on me. Every time I said something, he peed on me!"
154 came in, the note in his hand rattling. "Little girl! You wrote it yourself, little girl! "
He finally couldn't keep his poker face. If he had a hundred guts, he would dare to throw the note in 001's face.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare.
But after scolding for a while, they realized that the person in the armchair didn't respond. His gaze was still fixed on the window.
"Boss? Boss? "922 tried to call out twice, but in the end, he had to raise his voice." Qin Jiu! "
Mr. 001 finally came back to his senses.
922 pushed 154 forward by one step, while he himself slipped away eight feet away.
154: "…"
F * ck.
Qin Jiu's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them. "I was distracted and didn't hear you clearly. Complain again?"
154 shook his head and said, "Forget it."
922 stepped forward, embarrassed. "Boss … what did you do?"
Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows. "What are you talking about?"
"No … I just felt that you were in a bad mood," 922 said.
"Am I?"
"Yes … a little." 922 deliberated. "Because you were dragged here to invigilate the exam?"
"No."
"Then why did you …" 154 muttered.
"Raise your voice. I didn't hear the second half of your sentence." Qin Jiu glanced at him.
When he stared at people with his dark eyes, it always made people feel uneasy. Even though 154 and 922 had been with him for almost three years, they were still not used to it.
154 took half a step back again, cleared his throat and said, "I say … you're in a good mood. Why did you drag someone who didn't break the rules here? This is a bit against the rules. "
Qin Jiu said, "I'm abiding by the rules. Didn't you see the 'ink' on his hands?"
154 was stunned. "Oh, I didn't look carefully …"
Qin Jiu stroked the black bird's head and said, "Besides …"
922 and 154 pricked up their ears.
However, their boss talked for about ten minutes and didn't say anything else.
After a long time, he said, "Forget it, it's nothing."
"…"
The two subordinates almost couldn't catch their breath, but they didn't dare to rebel, so they left dejectedly.
·
There was a small attic on the third floor of the bungalow. Inside, there was a wall of white screens. Each screen corresponded to a detention room.
The scenes of the people in the detention rooms would be projected on the screens. To a certain extent, a lot of people's secrets could be seen here.
But at this time, the room was heavily locked, so no one came to peek.
Two screens were lit up. One was the bald man's room, and the other was You Huo's room.
The bald man's screen was a bloody blur. Through the layer of red, a figure with a hanging shoulder and a pale face could be vaguely seen.
However, You Huo's screen was completely blank.
The screen showed the original appearance of the room. There were three mirrors, a wall clock, a wooden table, and a wooden stool. Gone.
·
Three hours later, Number 154 came to open the door of the detention room with the key.
He was prepared to be hit in the face with his arms and legs, but when the lock was removed, he was stunned.
Because there was nothing in the detention room, and the cold-faced handsome man who was detained was lying on the table, asleep.
He covered his face with his elbows, as if he was taking a nap in a real high school class.
The sound of 154 entering the room finally woke him up.
He frowned and half-opened his eyes. He glanced at 154 before closing them again. His face was full of anger and impatience. After a while, he straightened up and leaned against the back of the chair. He asked, "Are you done?"
154: "…"
