Chapter 145: Higher Education Entrance Examination (V)
Why are the clues to key points so hard to find?
Why are copy rules difficult to overcome?
Why can't I contact my roommate?
If this is a loop copy, then everything has an answer.
For a normal college entrance exam, four exams are all that is required. But what if they have to take more than one?
Well, now, the fangs of the copy have probably just revealed their true colors.
Tang Xinjue walked forward quickly with a calm expression, ignoring the calls of the aunt behind him.
Once you enter the school, you will be trapped in a small cycle of endless exams and there will be no chance to get out.
After the first teleportation, she realized that the only chance to move around outside the school gate was to go back to the time before everything started and before she entered the school.
It's this moment!
After passing through the crowd, a T-junction connecting three straight streets appeared in front of us.
Rows of houses are located on both sides of the road, and the road sign standing in the middle can be seen from a not-so-far distance.
The sign leading to the street on the left reads "Food City." The signs along the road are colorful: Delicious Soup House, Highway Coffee Main Store, Candy Claw Machine, Paradise Burger, Hell Canteen...
The street on the right is the Commercial Street, where the buildings are more modest: the University Part-time Job Agency, Old Man Zhang's Repair Shop, the Huancheng Hotel, and a cheap mobile phone store...
The street in the center leading to the front was deserted, with nothing on either side of the road except a sign saying: [Night Market Street].
The common point of the three streets is that there is no one on the road, which contrasts with the densely packed shops and creates a strong sense of incongruity.
Not to mention the school gate, the bustling crowd behind her and the street in front of her were almost clearly separated, as if they were divided into two worlds. And the other world was only a few dozen meters away from her.
Tang Xinjue took a quick glance and memorized all the information without stopping.
The countless gazes were as real as substance, and the shouts became more and more numerous and louder, until they came pouring in like a rising tide, trying to drown her with all their might.
Just as the crowd was about to catch her, Tang Xinjue suddenly stopped, looked at the street in front of her and smiled: "Ah, I forgot I still have an exam."
Then she turned around naturally and walked towards the school gate again.
crowd:"……"
When I stepped into the door again, the noise behind me was like pressing the pause button, leaving only the quiet examination room environment.
Everything was exactly the same as when she first entered the copy.
Tang Xinjue walked in with ease and without any hesitation.
She wasn't naive enough to think she could really enter those streets smoothly, or that she could come out safely after entering.
What's more, some of the shops and architectural elements look so familiar.
They looked so familiar that the moment she saw them, she basically understood where these streets belonged.
It was thanks to this cycle, otherwise she might never have discovered this -
This remote place where the college entrance examination copy is located is actually the legendary university town.
No, saying "where it was" wasn't accurate either. Tang Xin Jue recalled the various scenes he had just witnessed and realized another point:
This place is both within the university town and a separately developed copy space, so it is highly likely that the inside and outside are not connected.
However, for some reason, this instance had a very perfunctory border, or even no border at all. Therefore, from the edge of this "unfinished" copy, she could clearly see the outside, that is, the interior of the university town.
...Such a low-level loophole is not like the style of the game copy. Maybe it was intentional?
"Classmate, do you need any help?"
As I stepped into the first floor lobby, I was greeted by a familiar face with a friendly smile.
Tang Xin Jue raised his left hand and shook it, then smiled shyly, "No thanks, teacher."
The left arm can be raised and lowered flexibly without any discomfort.
It was indeed as the highest-ranking female invigilator said, her arm would be "healed" after the college entrance examination.
Rather than a cure, she prefers to think of it as a state of "refreshment." With each cycle of refreshing, candidates will face the exam in the fullest and healthiest state, just like the first time.
But... Tang Xinjue lowered his eyes slightly.
In addition to recovering her health, there seemed to be another change in her condition.
--clatter.
The invigilator's thoughts were also incoherent, but they were immediately interrupted when Tang Xinjue caught a slight sound in his hearing. All his attention was quickly focused, and he faced the direction of the source of the sound.
——Da da da .
It was still the fifth floor. But this time the sound was no longer that of a heavy object being overturned, but rather the sound of glass beads tumbling to the ground, one by one, and then another.
Tang Xinjue slowly walked around the corner of the stairs, lowered his head and listened carefully.
Until the rolling sound of the last bead ends, there are 13 beads in total.
Then the sound disappeared, as if it had never appeared, leaving no trace.
"Classmate, your examination room is over here."
There were already several invigilators guarding the 3rd floor. They took away Tang Xinjue's exam bag without saying anything and quietly blocked the staircase.
Tang Xinjue raised his eyebrows, but this time he didn't confront them, nor did he even look at them any further.
Because now, even if she stopped observing, she could still feel the number, movements, and even the distribution of the invigilators - when her mental strength had recovered one tenth.
Sitting down calmly, Tang Xinjue watched the invigilator's every move while quietly mobilizing his mental strength.
Five minutes later , she finally confirmed that the invigilator could not detect her mental power. Even if she used this extra "vision" to cover other people's test papers, the invigilator did not react at all.
Sure enough, the college entrance examination is not the real purpose of this copy.
If the college entrance exam was all she needed, she wouldn't have automatically recovered some of her abilities when the second cycle arrived. Because even the slightest bit of special ability would undermine the fundamental fairness of the college entrance exam, rendering it meaningless.
So what is the purpose of the copy?
She raised her eyes to the ceiling. Two floors away lay the direction of Examination Room 509. If her mental strength recovered to 30%, she could penetrate the two floors and depict the scene in that classroom; if it recovered to 50%, she would know everything that happened in Classroom 508.
But she has not yet found a way to recover her superpowers on her own, and her condition is only slightly better than that of ordinary people.
——It’s not the time to cause trouble yet.
Shaking her head, she put down her pen introvertedly, raised her hand and said to the front: "Teacher, I want to go to the bathroom."
…
Since the information is insufficient, take the initiative to find ways to complete it.
After the examination room director's 11th attempt to reject him failed, Tang Xinjue met the female invigilator with a kind smile again.
"I'm sorry, Tang, we have to tell you some sad news. All the toilets in this building are under repair, so you'll have to be patient."
The female teacher was as gentle as ever, but she rejected Tang Xinjue's request without question.
The girl, whose application was rejected, showed no sign of frustration. She acted very easy to talk to. "It's okay. It's perfectly normal for the examination room toilets to be repaired during the Gaokao. I understand. I'll come back to you if I feel unwell later."
The female teacher smiled and nodded. "I'm glad you understand. It's not uncommon for students to vandalize restrooms. We will work hard to catch and punish the perpetrators and ensure this doesn't happen again."
Tang Xinjue was shocked. "Everything is damaged? That's unfortunate! You've all worked so hard. As an ordinary student, there's not much I can do to help. I can only hope that everyone can get used to it quickly. So, I'll try to postpone my discomfort for five minutes to give you more time to rest."
Other invigilators: “…”
Other candidates: “…”
Is this a conversation they can listen to?
Is this something a person in the mortal world can say?
After a brief conversation, the female invigilator was the first to break down. She sternly invited Tang Xinjue back inside and immediately replaced all the invigilators on the entire floor.
…
"No matter what happens, we must maintain order in the examination room. We must not let what happened on the fifth floor happen again."
With her back to the tightly closed door of examination room 307, a strange green hue appeared on the woman's gentle and kind face.
For the first time, her voice became hoarse, inconsistent with her appearance. The corners of her mouth, which always maintained the same angle in Tang Xinjue's memory, now accidentally split upwards, revealing the densely packed blood vessel-like mouthparts under her cheeks.
The mouthpart said hoarsely, "From now on, you may use force if necessary."
The author has something to say:
The Art of Language:
The candidates will be silent after hearing this, and the invigilators will cry.
NPC: I've been in the underworld for so long, and I've never heard such dark words.
