Chapter 10: No. 7 Middle School (10)

“Click.”

As the door behind her sounded, Bai You stood up alertly, turned around quickly, and looked behind her with sharp eyes.

However.

As far as her eyes could see, there was only darkness.

Probably because it was winter, there was no air conditioning or heating in the staff lounge, so the windows were tightly sealed to keep out the cold. At this moment, as soon as the metal door was closed, almost all light was blocked.

Only a little light came through the crack in the door below, and the outline of a pair of feet could be vaguely seen, reflecting the luster of leather shoes.

Although she couldn’t see the appearance of the person who came, Bai You clearly felt that the person was not kind, and there was a sinister and dangerous gaze staring at her.

A gloomy and creepy atmosphere filled the air, mixed with the slight rubbing sound of clothes, which was frightening.

A mechanical sound suddenly sounded in her mind.

[Ding]

[The first exam begins]

[Countdown: 05:00]

“Da”, “Da”.

The man finally moved, and the footsteps in the darkness approached Bai You, slowly and steadily.

A rotten smell suddenly floated in the air, similar to rotten meat that had been left for a long time, sour and unpleasant. This pungent smell made Bai You frown.

No, it seemed that it was not a person.

She stepped back step by step until she hit the corner of the table with a “bang”.

The exam time was only five minutes, and in this claustrophobic room, the content was easy to guess.

Bai You tried to speak: “Who are you?”

After two “hissing” sounds, no voice answered her.

It seemed that there was no will.

As the footsteps got closer and closer to her, the rotten smell became stronger and stronger.

The staff lounge was not big. Bai You leaned against the corner of the table, calculating the distance to the door in her mind and counting silently.

“Da,”

“Da…”

When the number reached 1, the source of the fishy smell was already in front of her. Before the thing could move, Bai You picked up the boiling water in the pot on the table and splashed it on his face.

“Ah, ah——!”

A sharp and painful hoarse cry sounded.

He covered his face tightly in pain.

Bai You took this opportunity to quickly move to the side, bypassed him and quickly ran to the door to unlock it.

“Click, click…”

No matter how she twisted it, there was no response, and she couldn’t pull it open.

She suddenly remembered the subtle sound of the door lock when Jiang Wenjie opened the door. Obviously, the door lock had already had problems at that time.

“…”

Okay, it’s really time for it to break.

Bai You turned around helplessly and faced reality.

If she couldn’t escape, she could only use other methods.

After watching the twisted screams in the darkness, the unknown species continued to approach her.

She sighed silently, then took out the kitchen knife she had just taken from the table from behind.

…

Three minutes later.

After the thing that was not sure whether it was a human or a ghost completely stopped moving, Bai You casually threw the smelly kitchen knife to the ground next to her. With a “bang”, some thick mucus on the ground splashed.

Tsk.

Really, you have to force people to do it.

She groped in the dark to the wall and turned on the light.

“Ding.”

The light tube lit up, and the room was instantly filled with pale light, illuminating every corner, and also shining on the person lying on the floor.

Maybe it shouldn’t be called a person.

Although he was neatly dressed in a suit and leather shoes, every inch of his skin was rotten and exuded a very uncomfortable smell. There were only two empty eyes on his bumpy face, and thin white nematodes were growing on his eyeballs, which were still wriggling. A pair of glasses was still well supported on his nose bridge, which was only transparent bone.

Even from the wounds on his body full of kitchen knife scars, not even a drop of blood flowed out, only transparent yellow pus oozing out.

Obviously, he was no longer a normal person.

Bai You stepped over his body expressionlessly and went to the sink opposite.

She turned on the water and looked down at the water flowing over her slender white fingers, and a layer of faint doubts rose in her heart.

She clearly felt her hands shaking when she started, which was completely out of control, so she almost made a mistake and was almost caught by his rotten flesh hand.

Not only that, even when the exam started, her body was shaking involuntarily, although it was very subtle, but she clearly felt it.

It was a feeling of fear.

But this was strange. She didn’t feel the slightest bit of fear. In her opinion, this situation was just so-so, and she even wanted to teach them a few tricks, so how could she be so scared that she was shaking?

[Time is up]

[End of the first exam]

[Calculating the scores of the candidates…]

This mechanical sound sounded steadily, humming softly.

Bai You wiped her hands and waited patiently.

The exam content was so short, and the door was deliberately locked, which must be to let the players avoid this thing. Surviving for more than five minutes is considered a success.

She killed this thing directly, so she must be given full marks.

[…Calculation completed]

[Your score: 0 points]

[Grading for this exam: Failed]

Bai You: “?”

What.

Is it that she didn’t understand the test questions thoroughly enough? ?

Or is the scoring system broken? ? ?

[This exam ends here]

[Warning: If the examinee fails three exams, he will be severely punished]

[The current number of your failed exams is: 1]

“…”

After living for so long, this is the first time she got zero in an exam. Although it was in the game, it made her feel a little frustrated.

It must be said that this score aroused her desire to win.

But…

From the meaning of this mechanical voice, it seems that there are many exams.

The total time limit of the dungeon is only 6 hours. It should have been two hours, so the exam time should be about four hours.

Bai You thought so and took out the identity card to confirm the time.

When he turned to the task page, he found that the remaining time of the dungeon was stagnant.

[Dungeon remaining time: 4 hours and 03 minutes (paused in special plot)]

[Current dungeon exploration degree: 35%]

In addition to the exploration value, there is a new attribute on the card.

【Current plot deviation: 30%】

Does this plot deviation mean that the plot has deviated from the original track and developed in another direction?

Bai You lowered her eyes and pondered.

She suddenly had a guess.

This 【Christmas Eve Exam】, wouldn’t it be to let the players relive the day of December 24th, and use the things that the characters played by the players should have experienced on this day as the content of the exam?

If this is true, then according to Lin Songyue’s status as a high school student, if she was trapped in this scene, she would definitely not kill the enemy with a knife like herself.

This led to two completely different results, one for her and the other for Lin Songyue. And according to the zero score given to her in the exam, it is obvious that the closer the result is to Lin Songyue, the higher the score will be, and vice versa.

In the original plot, the difficulty of the exam is increased, allowing players to speculate the actions of the characters based on the information they find, so as to complete the real role-playing, right?

Bai You flipped to the front of the identity card.

[ID Card]

[Name: Lin Songyue]

[Age: 17]

[Occupation: Class A, Grade 3, No. 7 Middle School]

[Related Plot: Birthday is December 24, hobby is writing novels, excellent academic performance, average relationship with father Jiang Wenjie (others to be unlocked)]

It is not difficult to see that Lin Songyue has an average relationship with her father Jiang Wenjie.

It is strange that the two have different surnames. And although Jiang Wenjie asked her about her diet and study status, he was obviously awkward. In addition, the last move of wanting to get close to her and patting her head like a child was also very stiff.

Nothing special, Bai You took back the card and planned to try to open the door and go out.

I accidentally glanced at the corpse when I passed by it.

Suddenly, I saw a piece of white paper half exposed in the front pocket of the corpse’s clothes. Bai You picked up the broom standing next to it and reached it out, and it fell to the ground.

There were two lines of words written on it.

【After evening self-study today, I came to this place: xx Road xx Hotel】

【Good boy, you know the result of resistance】

When Bai You saw the written words clearly, he suddenly paused.

She took out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket. The words on this paper were scratched line by line with a ballpoint pen, and the paper was almost torn apart. It was so scribbled that it was impossible to see what was written on it. Only two lines of black handwriting could be vaguely seen.

She found this in Lin Songyue’s stationery bag. After getting it, she read it in her spare time, but she had to give up because she couldn’t recognize the handwriting.

Bai You carefully looked at the two pieces of paper. Whether it was the size of the paper or the position of the handwriting, it was obviously the same piece.

This person gave Lin Songyue such information, it was hard not to let her think of that situation.

She continued to flip through it with a broom, and “click”, another business card fell out.

【Vice Principal of the Seventh Middle School of XX City: Quan Hongsheng】

“…”

Bai You suddenly felt a little sick.

She wanted to kick him twice, but when she saw the rotten and smelly body, she quietly took it back.

He looked bright and beautiful on the surface, but his inside was already rotten like this.

Even the whole person was smelly.

The information on the ID card was updated.

[Related plot: Birthday is December 24, hobby is writing novels, excellent academic performance, average relationship with father Jiang Wenjie, seems to have a special relationship with Vice President Quan Hongsheng (others to be unlocked)]

The door that was originally locked and could not be opened, without the exam factor blocking it, Bai You twisted it twice and opened it, and pulled it inward, and bright light suddenly shone in.

Coincidentally, there was a person standing at the door, blocking most of the light.

He seemed to have just run over, still panting, with one hand covering his chest and the other hand reaching for the door handle.

The two looked at each other unexpectedly, and Lin Sheng was startled and almost sat back on the ground.

After seeing that it was Bai You, Lin Sheng not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became more nervous. He quickly explained: “I just saw a monster that I didn’t see clearly coming over here. It looked very strong. I was just about to go over to remind you, but a test suddenly came and stopped me.”

He tilted his head and looked around nervously.

“That thing should still be nearby. We can’t stay here any longer. Let’s run!”

Bai You blinked and stepped aside.

“Are you talking about this?”

Hearing this, Lin Sheng cast his eyes into the house.

The monster he called “very strong” was falling to the ground in pieces, without any movement. A shiny kitchen knife was thrown next to it, very ostentatious.

Lin Sheng: “……?”
