It had been snowing for four hours and showed no signs of stopping.
This was a small house in the middle of a barren mountain. Hunting equipment hung on the walls, and a long, worm-eaten wooden table was placed in the middle. A circle of people sat around the table. There were men and women, old and young, and there was even a foreigner.
The room was very cold. Everyone was shivering with sullen faces, but no one got up to light a fire because the old-fashioned radio on the table was speaking.
[It is now 17: 30 Beijing time.]
[There are 30 minutes left before the exam. Candidates, please hurry up and enter.]
The radio's voice was hoarse, with the unique sound of electricity from the 1950s. It was tirelessly playing tricks.
This was already the second time it had broadcast. The first time was three hours ago. It said, [Welcome to Exam Room 003712], and an old lady fainted from the welcome. She still hadn't recovered.
And another person who didn't listen to the instructions and tried to forcefully dismantle the radio … After removing the battery, he rushed out as if possessed. Five minutes later, his body slid down the roof with the snow.
After that, no one dared to touch this thing again.
[Candidates who haven't entered yet, please enter as soon as possible. Do not stay outside.]
The whole message was played three times. The room was dead silent.
After a long time, someone whispered, "It's giving instructions again … What do we do? How does it know someone is staying outside? "
Everyone's face was ugly. No one answered.
After a while, the person sitting at the head of the table asked impatiently, "So who hasn't entered yet?"
This person had a slightly curly yellow chicken hair. He was thin and of medium height. His two arms were tattooed like a zoo. It was hard to tell whether he was a donkey or a dog, but the posture was quite scary.
The person next to him shrank back and answered, "Lao Yu."
"Which Lao Yu?"
"The drunkard who vomited as soon as he entered, the one with his son and nephew."
The person who answered pointed to the wall with his mouth and carefully made a "shush" gesture.
There was a broken sofa by the wall, and the nephew was lying on it.
He was a young man in his late twenties. He was very tall and had an outstanding appearance. When he entered the room with his head lowered, the pine trees and snow behind him seemed to blend into the scenery. But from the moment he entered, he had a sour expression and seemed a little arrogant.
According to Lao Yu, who was drunk and shook his household register, his nephew's name was You Huo.
"He came back to China less than two months ago. He took advantage of the National Day holiday and came to Harbin to look for me. I was supposed to send him to the airport tomorrow morning. Sigh … It's all my fault! I didn't control my strength! "
Lao Yu drank himself to the point that he was drunk. Taking advantage of the fact that there were fewer people at night, he walked like a snake on the streets.
On the sidewalk in front of the Children's Hospital, someone had placed a pile of silver foil paper money. Lao Yu lost his balance when he walked over and stepped on the pile of silver foil. Then, he spun around and sent his son and nephew to the hospital.
When he entered the small house, he still hadn't recovered from the dizziness and vomited all over You Huo. After vomiting Lao Yu, he sobered up in fear and trepidation. He did not dare to talk to You Huo.
The people who came here were like ghosts in broad daylight, completely unprepared. Only the foreigner named Mike had a set of clean clothes in his backpack.
After You Huo changed, he stayed away from the crowd and curled up on the sofa without saying a word. He seemed to have fallen asleep.
Beyond the arm covering his face, one could see that he was wearing an earring on his right ear. It was dazzling under the reflection of the oil lamp in the house and the snow outside.
·
The sky should be dark, but the mountains and plains were covered in snow. It was still bright outside.
A woman with a big belly turned to look at the cupboard in panic. The time on her phone was messed up here, and only the clock on the top of the cupboard could tell her the time. "It's almost 6 pm. Will that Ol 'Yu …"
Bang bang bang!
Before she could finish, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Everyone was shocked and stared at the door. The snow on the window was wiped away. Lao Yu's big face was pressed against the glass. He mouthed exaggeratedly, "It's me. Open the door."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they came back before 6 o 'clock and did not die.
The two snowmen who entered the house were Lao Yu and his son, Yu Wen.
"How is it outside?" Everyone asked anxiously.
Lao Yu shivered for a while. He rubbed his face hard and then hit his son. Finally, he warmed up a little. "I walked around in a big circle. It's useless! No matter where I go, in less than ten minutes, I'll see this broken house in front of me. I can't get out! "
"Is there anyone here? Or another house? "
Lao Yu said dejectedly, "No. Don't count on it."
Everyone was in despair.
There was no signal on their phones. The time was messed up. The trees all looked the same. They could not tell north from south. There was nothing.
This was their current situation.
Oh, there was also a radio. It was clamoring for them to take a test.
Take a f * cking test.
As soon as Lao Yu stepped into the house, the radio started to buzz.
An afternoon was enough for everyone to have a conditioned reflex. Everyone immediately shut up and looked at the radio.
[All candidates have entered. We will read the exam rules.]
Lao Yu and Yu Wen, who had just entered, gulped.
[The exam will be conducted within the specified time.]
[After the exam officially begins, candidates are not allowed to enter the exam hall. Candidates are not allowed to leave the exam hall in the middle of the exam. In case of an emergency, candidates must be accompanied by an invigilator.]
[Except for the open-book exam, mobile phones and other communication devices are not allowed. Candidates, please turn off your mobile phone.]
[The exam will be scored on the dot. Candidates must write their answers on the designated answer sheet (except for special circumstances). Otherwise, the answers will be invalid.]
After the radio finished, silence returned.
A moment later, there was a buzz in the house.
"Who's the invigilator?"
"There's an open-book exam?"
"What's an answer sheet?"
"You're even researching it. Are you crazy?" The tattooed man touched a Swiss Army knife. No one knew what he was thinking.
"What else can we do?" The pregnant woman's eyes were still swollen from crying. She said softly, "Don't forget the one from before …"
She pointed at the roof.
The tattooed man thought of the corpse and his face turned pale. He froze for a moment, then finally accepted the situation. He held the Swiss Army knife and waved at them. "Kid."
Yu Wen looked around and pointed at his nose. "You … called me?"
"Yes, it's you. Come, sit here." The tattooed man patted the empty seat closest to him.
"I, he …" Yu Wen turned to look at his brother and found that his brother was still dead on the broken sofa. He wisely swallowed the curse and said, "I'm 18."
Moreover, the tattooed man was at most 25 or 26 years old. How could he have the face to call someone a kid?
"It doesn't matter what you call me!" The tattooed man was a little impatient. "Sit here. Let me ask you, are you a student?"
Yu Wen said, "Yes."
The tattooed man frowned and said, "Do you know how to take the exam?"
Lao Yu said reflexively, "He knows! He took the exam to get into university! "
"You can shut up." Yu Wen was never polite to the old drunkard.
But after he scolded his father, he turned his head and found that everyone in the room was staring at him.
Yu Wen: "…"
He chose his words carefully and said, "I just finished the college entrance exam in June. I've been crazy for more than three months. I'm … I'm not very good at taking exams."
The pregnant woman had been in a panic for the whole afternoon. She forced a smile at him. "That's still better than us. You're only three months old. We've already forgotten all about you. "
"No." Yu Wen felt a little ridiculous and even forgot to be afraid. "Don't you read novels or watch movies? Can a haunted exam be a real exam? It must be a nickname! "
"A nickname for what?"
Yu Wen rolled his eyes. "How would I know? Anyway, ghost movies are all about death. Who the f * ck would test you on math and physics here? Was this house built by the Ministry of Education? "
He still felt that he was not satisfied and added, "Heh."
The dead cousin on the sofa was finally awakened by his "heh."
Yu Wen turned his head to look.
You Huo sat up and glanced at everyone with half-opened eyes. Then, he rubbed his neck. His legs on the broken wooden floor were very long, making the sofa look even shorter and older.
The time seemed to be calculated. When he finally put down his hand and looked up, the clock on the cupboard rang.
6 o 'clock sharp.
The radio's static came again.
[It's 18: 00 Beijing time. The exam officially begins.]
[Remind me again. After the exam begins, candidates are not allowed to enter the exam room again. You are not allowed to leave the exam room without permission. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences.]
[If you are found to be cheating during the exam, you will be expelled from the exam room.]
[Other exam requirements will be based on the specific questions.]
It beeped a series of threats, paused for two seconds, and said:
[Exam time: 48 hours.]
[Exam subject: Physics.]
Yu Wen: "…"
[Exam papers and answer cards will now be distributed. I wish you good results.]
After the last sentence, the radio died again.
Yu Wen: "…"
Shouldn't the damn exam papers and answer cards be distributed first???
The pregnant woman cried out in a low voice and said in a panic: "This wall!"
She was talking about the wall above the stove. Previously, this wall was empty except for a few knife marks. Now, there were a few more lines —
Question: A group of tourists arrived at the snowy mountain …
Requirements: The exam papers will be collected every six hours. If no points are scored within six hours, one person will be disqualified and expelled from the exam room.
Below these two lines was a large blank space, like the answer area on the exam paper.
What kind of question was this? What questions were asked and what answers were given?
Everyone was at a loss.
Not to mention six hours, even if it was 600 hours, they wouldn't know how to score points.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew into the room, hitting everyone in the face and making them shiver.
They looked in the direction of the wind and saw that You Huo had walked to the window and opened half the window.
"What are you doing?!" The tattooed man said angrily.
You Huo had one hand in the pocket of his trousers and the other hand was about to reach out. When he heard the words, he turned around and glanced. Maybe it was because his gaze was too light, but there was always a cold sneer and arrogance.
The tattooed man was even more unhappy: "Don't you know to ask before opening the window? If something happens, can you bear the responsibility? "
"Who are you?"
You Huo threw down these two words and ignored him, still reaching out his left hand.
Lao Yu couldn't help but nudge his son and whisper: "You ask."
He didn't know why, but Lao Yu always seemed to be afraid of this nephew.
Yu Wen shouted: "Brother, what are you doing?"
You Huo withdrew his left hand and waved it at him, finally giving an answer: "Trying to see what the consequences of being expelled from the exam room are."
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air because dark red blood was flowing from his fingers to his palm. Because of his white skin, it was even more shocking.
He casually wiped it, then picked up a rusty iron can and threw it out the window.
Under everyone's gaze, the iron can disintegrated into powder in an instant and scattered with the snow.
At this time, looking at the "Requirements" on the wall, everyone's eyes were filled with panic.
By the wall.
You Huo closed the window again and glanced at each of their backs.
The only one who had anything to do with the exam was Yu Wen … He couldn't be more familiar with him.
This student of his had dealt with puppy love for three years in high school, getting beaten up in groups, climbing over walls, and fighting under the national flag. He was busy with work and had to find time to deal with a high frequency of sudden onset of chuunibyou syndrome. He was still in critical condition.
Physics?
It was better to count on a dog than him.
As for the others …
The old, weak, sick, pregnant, and hooligans.
All five poisons.
