The experience of the last exam taught them,
The questions that were refreshed in the exam did not have to be completed one by one.
The non-critical questions could be skipped, as long as the examinee could bear the consequences of not writing the answers,
For example, there was no point to step on when collecting the papers.
And there were three ways to end an exam: one was to be completely wiped out, the other was to waste time,
And the other was to answer the key questions in advance.
The key question of hunter armor was to find the set of tableware.
The key question here..,
It was this reading that gave away those dolls.
Find the way home.
Before this..,
Yu Wen and the others all thought that sending the Doll would be a very long process.
Just like what Zhao Wentu wrote in his diary,
Everyone gathered together and guessed who the owners of a few of the dolls were. Every day, they completed a part and carefully waited until the end.
They never thought that Golden Thigh thought it was too slow,
They actually wanted to finish it in one night.
18 families..,
One night?
What a joke..
It wasn't that they didn't believe You Huo, they really didn't have any confidence at all.
·
When they returned to the hut, it was already very late at night.
You Huo's room was still the same as when everyone left,
But the water on the coffee table was already cold, and the edges of the dry bread were white, looking even worse to eat. Only the fire in the stove was burning brightly.
You Huo circled around the sofa and suddenly asked, "Where's the bag?"
"Bag? What bag? "
Everyone didn't react.
You Huo was about to say "for the Doll" when he saw Qin Jiu raise his chin at the stove.
Everyone looked over.
On the knitted carpet next to the stove,
The gray cloth bag fell to the ground,
One of the Doll fell out of the bag,
It fell right next to the fire.
As long as the flame flickered a little more,
It could burn it.
"How did it fall here?!" Yu Wen hurried over,
He picked up the bag and the Doll.
You Huo pointed to the sofa and said, "It was over there before. Who touched it?"
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't answer.
Lao Yu said, "When we saw you enter the coffin, we grabbed the rope and rushed out. Could it be that someone put it in the wrong place in a hurry? "
But when they recalled carefully, they were sure that they did not touch it.
Could it be that … they moved on their own?
Thinking about it, the scene was a bit strange. No one dared to think too much about it.
Yu Wen mumbled, "If we burn one of them, we'll be in trouble."
He picked up one of the Doll's legs. "Just a little bit more. Look, there's a burn mark here."
"And here and this half of the dress —" Yu Wen turned the Doll over.
You Huo interrupted him, "These two places were there before."
Yu Wen was stunned. "Huh?"
This Doll was one of the last four that Black Lady had added. You Huo had noticed the burn marks on its body.
"So you're saying that it was almost burned before?" Yu Wen held the doll and said, "So many disasters? Could the calamity count as a clue? Who in the village has been burned? "
Yu Yao said, "Zhao Wentu."
Everyone was stunned. Even You Huo looked at her.
Yu Yao felt uncomfortable being stared at. "Uh … he's a villager."
She was embarrassed to call others "crazy." She blushed and said, "Maybe I'm a little bit of a clean freak, so I always notice whether other people's clothes are clean or not. His sleeves and the sides of his clothes are stained with a lot of ashes, and the back of his clothes is also burned. It's not necessarily burned. I just think … it's possible. "
After she finished speaking, she did not say anything and sat there with a red head.
"That makes sense!" Yu Wen looked at the Doll and said, "If there are really these marks, it should be him!"
You Huo said, "Mm."
He nodded, and everyone was instantly relieved.
This scene was like a bad student comparing answers with a top student. If they accidentally matched, they would be very happy because it was safe.
·
Zhao Wentu wrote in his diary that they felt that the Doll was similar to Villager A, so they gave it to him.
So the key to giving a gift was to find the similarities between the Doll and the villager. A Doll represented a villager.
"I suddenly feel like I'm playing a game …" Yu Wen held a bag of Doll in his left hand and shook one of them in his right hand. He said, "Guess who I am?"
"Then guess." Lao Yu pointed at him. "Put it down and don't be naughty!"
·
The Doll was lined up in a row, and everyone sat around the sofa.
After staring at each other for a minute, they collapsed.
Guess my ass!
Except for Zhao Wentu's Doll, which had been burned, there was an obvious difference. The other Doll's characteristics could not be found at all. The difference was negligible, but the similarity was obvious: they were all ugly.
A few threads sewn on the cloth ball dared to say that it was the eyes and nose, and a piece of cloth wrapped around it was the clothes.
Holding this up to the villagers and saying "this represents you", who was he trying to anger?
"Is there a birthmark or something?" Chen Bin raised his hand and asked awkwardly, "The clothes … can I take them off?"
"Can you fight back if you take them off or what?" Lao Yu looked worried. "But there's a problem. Even if you find a birthmark under the clothes, can you verify it with the villagers?"
Chen Bin: "…"
Although the words were crude, the logic was right.
Moreover, there were so many villagers who were locked in their houses all day and never came out.
Zhao Wentu said that the villagers would only open the door if they knocked on their door three times and said "I have a gift for you".
Once the door was opened, the examinee would have to give the correct Doll before they could return to their houses. There could be no mistakes.
Everyone looked at the Doll in silence, and once again fell into the ultimate question of the examination.
What the hell should they do?
·
"What time is it?" You Huo suddenly asked.
Everyone looked at him, and then at Qin Jiu.
Qin Jiu took out his phone. "It's 2 o 'clock in the morning. Let's count the time until the exam ends, so there are still five and a half hours left."
You Huo: "That's enough."
Qin Jiu: "Are you sure?"
You Huo took a sip of water, grunted in a muffled voice, and swept the Doll into the cloth bag.
He stood in the room and looked around, pointing at a few things. "Rope, knife, cloth, bring everything you have."
"Oh."
Everyone did as they were told.
They took everything and followed You Huo to the door. Suddenly, they were stunned. "What are we doing?"
You Huo said, "Robbery."
Everyone: "???"
Qin Jiu suddenly laughed.
His low voice sounded close by, and it was easy to make people uncomfortable.
"Go to the side and laugh." You Huo looked away with a straight face and said to the others, "Don't block the way. Are we going or not?"
Everyone: "… Let's go."
·
Soon, they stood in front of a small house.
The sign on the door read: Chasu Village No. 4.
Knock, knock, knock.
You Huo knocked on the door in front of them. "I have a gift for you."
Everyone held their breaths for a moment, and there was a rustling sound at the door.
This should be the sound of footsteps, but it sounded like the sound of cloth being dragged across the floor.
Everyone remembered the words in Zhao Wentu's diary. He said that he had hands and feet, but they were soft to the touch, like cotton …
It was scary and sad at the same time.
With a creak, the door opened.
Zhao Wentu poked his head out. His face was weathered, and his expression was numb. The white hair at his temples shone dimly under the moonlight.
His dark eyes stared at You Huo without blinking, and he asked slowly, "What gift?"
You Huo took out a waterproof bag and the burnt Doll, and said, "A diary, and a Doll to represent you. Its name is Zhao Wentu."
The moonlight cast a long shadow on Zhao Wentu's face.
He stood in the shadow for a long time, and his eyes finally shone with a faint light.
"Zhao … Wen … Tu …" He looked at the simple Doll and slowly repeated the name. Because he hadn't said it for a long time, his pronunciation was a little rusty.
"Zhao Wentu …" He repeated it again.
…
He stood there and murmured it more than ten times. Suddenly, he laughed out loud and rocked back and forth.
"Don't tell me he went crazy again?" Lao Yu said worriedly.
Zhao Wentu didn't hear him.
He laughed for a long time, and then began to cry. Then, he snatched the two gifts and slammed You Huo and the others away. He ran into the forest and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Is this … relief? Where is he going? "
"I don't know." You Huo didn't seem to care about the result at all. He lifted his foot and left.
·
In the blink of an eye, they were standing in front of another house.
This time, it was Chasu Village 1, Villager A's house.
Everyone looked nervous, and they wanted to say something but stopped.
They hadn't even seen Villager A before, let alone match him with the Doll. How could they give it to him?
Hand over the bag and ask him to take it?
Just as they were about to back out, You Huo knocked on the door.
"Open the door, give the gift."
"…"
Okay, they couldn't back out.
Everyone watched numbly as the door opened. The villager with an unfamiliar face asked You Huo, "What gift?"
You Huo went up and put a hemp rope around the villager's neck. In a few twists and turns, he tied the villager up tightly.
Villager A: "???"
Everyone collapsed on the spot. It was actually a robbery …
You Huo pulled the rope and stuffed the other end into Yu Wen's hand. "Don't let go. If I lose it, I'll look for you."
Yu Wen held the rope and looked at Villager A in confusion, not knowing what to do.
When everyone came back to their senses, You Huo was already standing in front of Villager B's door.
They watched helplessly as the big boss raised his evil hand and said, "Open the door, give the gift."
Then, Lao Yu had another person in his hand.
…
·
Half an hour later.
In just half an hour, they had ransacked the entire village.
There were 19 people in 18 houses. Except for the crazy Zhao Wentu, everyone was tied up in their hands, including the village chief and his old mother.
This was the most coquettish greeting the villagers of Chasu Village had ever received.
They found an open space by the river and gathered the villagers according to You Huo's instructions.
"And then?" Lao Yu asked.
You Huo took out a cloth bag and poured out all the Doll. Then, he pushed the huge pile in front of the villagers. "We have brought the Black Lady's gift."
The villagers: "…"
"What the f * ck?"
Lao Yu and the others' eyes almost popped out, but then they thought, That's right, the question didn't say that they had to separate the gifts.
There was silence by the river.
Then, the villagers went crazy on the spot.
·
The dozen or so Doll were like a dozen hands, suddenly tearing apart the illusion of peace.
The villagers screamed and struggled, and their strength increased sharply when they lost their minds.
They broke free from the ropes and pounced over, attacking everyone in their sight.
This kind of madness was completely different from Zhao Wentu's. Everyone was caught off guard and couldn't resist at all.
Although they brought knives, they were used as a threat. Under the premise that the villagers were examinees, no one dared to attack.
In the middle of the fight, there was a sudden movement in the forest.
Faint sounds of crawling could be heard from all directions.
You Huo turned around, and his pupils shrank.
This time, there weren't just one or two ghostly hands, nor were there a dozen of them …
Everyone who had been buried in the six feet of yellow soil in the forest, and all the limbs and torsos that had been chopped off in the exam over the years, all crawled out.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this movement was enough to turn the exam upside down.
Screams rang out as everyone pulled each other and ran wildly under the pursuit of the ghostly hands.
"Drag them into the forest!" You Huo said.
"We still want to enter the forest? Why?!!!! "
Although they were asking why, everyone still ran in circles. The fastest speed and the highest physical strength of their lives were forced out here.
The cold touch of the bone chopping knife reached out from behind countless times, brushing against the skin on their faces and scalps.
This feeling of "almost" was more terrifying than anything else.
Soon, the crowd was scattered by the tide of severed limbs.
·
You Huo leaped over the crossbow tree trunk, his eyes sweeping across the surrounding trees, quickly calculating the density.
Ever since Zhao Wentu ran into the forest, he had been thinking about one thing: Here, what was liberation?
According to the diary, it was liberation after giving away the Doll.
But that was Zhao Wentu's understanding. At that time, he was an examinee and only saw part of it. He saw himself giving the Doll to villager A, and the next day he saw that villager A was no longer there, so he connected the two together as karma.
Now, it seemed that there was a key link missing.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state being chased.
Something must be done to appease the resentment of these broken limbs, so that the examinees could finally rest in peace.
You Huo had been thinking about this problem.
Then, he thought of the doll that had been burned by fire.
Whether it was the Doll or Zhao Wentu, why would there be burn marks again and again …
Why did the villagers say that Chasu Village's custom was burial and not cremation …
After thinking about it, there was only one reason — —
Burial would imprison them here, cremation was the only true way to rest.
·
You Huo saw a place that was easy to ignite, and thought that it was the right place to lure the broken limbs over and burn them here.
He stopped, intending to take out a lighter and throw it on the tree. But when he put his hand into his pocket, his eyebrows jumped.
Gone.
His pocket was empty.
You Huo: "…"
I must have lost it when I was jostling around …
But sometimes, even a second's pause could be fatal.
With just a stop, countless pale white ghosts blocked his way, instantly forming an encirclement.
Worst of all, there was the drowsiness of the fog.
…
·
The moment the broken limbs suddenly rose, You Huo's fingers pressed against the tree trunk and quickly wrote a few strokes.
It was so fast that he didn't even have time to think.
When he suddenly realized that he didn't write 001, a ball of fire suddenly burst out from the flying broken limbs.
Like throwing a spark into hot oil, the ball of fire rushed in all directions the moment it landed.
The trees here were entangled with branches and burned more easily than anything in the real world.
In an instant, the boundless deep forest burned into a sea of fire.
Countless pale white limbs protruded from the flames and fell silently, turning into charred mud.
You Huo narrowed his eyes in the light of the fire, and his light-colored eyes were plated with a layer of bright color. His gaze went over the flames and fell on a place further away.
There, Invigilator 001 threw an empty oil barrel into the fire.
The fire suddenly burst open, and he strode over under the light. The smile on his lips had a hint of arrogance, and compared to his usual boredom, he had a hint of liveliness.
The entire examination hall was burned to the ground by his hands, and all the broken walking corpses were drowned in the sea of fire.
