Chapter 79 Health Surprise Inspection (VIII)
"Don't panic yet."
Tang Xinjue picked up the whiteboard and calmed the frightened crowd.
Panic cannot solve the problem. There is too much information in the current situation and they need to sort it out one by one.
"The first thing to be sure of is that we failed the health inspection."
The judgment on the whiteboard was bright red, announcing everyone's failure.
But to their surprise, failure was not accompanied by death or monster attack, only a general "confinement penalty".
"Secondly, based on the hints in the exam information, we can guess that there will most likely be a second exam tomorrow."
Tang Xinjue read the information on the screen several times before putting down the phone. "So now we need to clarify two points."
"One, why did we fail this time; two, how can we wait until tomorrow's inspection safely."
…
After accepting the reality, everyone felt mixed emotions.
After a busy and stressful morning, it was all in vain and anyone would have to face the unknown confinement ahead. It would be disappointing for everyone.
But on the bright side, apart from a little harassment, there was no danger during the whole process. With 16 people standing here in one piece and no urgent tasks, it was safer than most of the exams they had taken.
"By the way, have you seen the inspectors?" No. 11 asked.
"Don't mention it. Just now, everything went black in front of my eyes, and my head was buzzing and I heard a lot of fuzzy noises. Then the pain was so severe that I almost fainted. When I opened my eyes, it was now." Several roommates of Room 11 looked frustrated.
Everyone's answers were similar. At 11 o'clock, everyone was simultaneously dragged into a memory that did not belong to them, or an illusion. When they woke up, everything was over, and there was not even a shadow of the "Student Union" to be seen.
"That's strange." Jiang Lan said to herself, "The fact that the inspector didn't show up means there's no danger?"
The "sanitation inspection" that was repeatedly emphasized by various clues was thought to be the most dangerous moment, but it ended so suddenly without even leaving any clues, leaving them with no way to change it...
No, there are hints!
Jiang Lan suddenly clapped her hands: " Let's write down everything we heard in the hallucination, maybe there is a reason in it!"
"ah?"
No. 11 and his roommate looked at each other, all of them bewildered: "You guys can still hear complete sentences? But we only hear inexplicable noises."
Tang Xinjue suddenly raised his eyes and met Jiang Lan's surprised gaze, as if he understood something.
Ten minutes later.
Zhang You contributed a few pieces of paper from his pocket, and everyone repeated into words everything they had just felt in their heads. However, only 10 people wrote down the specific content.
Tang Xin Jue pieced these papers together, scanned them, and came up with the following comparison results:
From the 11th to the 16th, no clear sentences were heard, only vague sounds, and no useful information could be extracted.
Starting from No. 10, the girls could hear vague conversations and remember the words, but they could not form a sentence or tell who was talking to whom ... This was true for everyone, including Zhang You until No. 5.
The only exception was Guo Guo. Perhaps because of the blessing of the Yin-Yang Eyes, although she couldn't hear clearly, she could "see" the picture and directly reproduce it in the form of simple drawings.
There are only four people who can clearly hear the voices in the hallucinations and remember them completely.
Bed number 1 is Tang Xinjue, bed number 2 is Jiang Lan, bed number 3 is Keke, and bed number 4 is Zheng Wanqing.
Among the four people, only Tang Xinjue saw the scene.
Tang Xinjue frowned slightly, temporarily suppressed his memories and speculations about the scene, and began to piece together the existing information.
The memories of everyone put together just happened to form a complete memory.
The subjects of the memories are a group of girls with unknown names.
They failed the college entrance examination, so they spent a lot of money to come to this university - a regular undergraduate school that claimed to have all the necessary credentials. On the first day of school, they were placed in a large dormitory at the end of the 9th floor, and their mobile phones and all electronic tools were taken away.
The dormitory was crowded and simple. Not only was it extremely cold, but every night they could hear faint crying coming up from the 8th floor, which made them feel uneasy.
In the panic, the girls in the dormitory also wanted to communicate with people from other dormitories. In addition to them, there were two other dormitories for girls in this building, 919 and 921... But for some reason, other students stayed in the dormitory all day, and when they met, they were like zombies, making it difficult to communicate.
The girls were getting more and more scared.
At first, the school sent someone to comfort them when they had doubts. But as time went by, the promised classes never started, and they were trapped in the dormitory building by the strict school rules, unable to move around except for three meals a day.
The unbearable girls started an argument with the school staff and were soon subjected to an unprecedented and terrible punishment: a long-lasting confinement.
The stairs were blocked from the outside, and everyone was trapped in the dormitories without sunlight, with only a short time to go to the toilet every day. In order to avoid starvation, they could only buy instant noodles and snacks from several seniors who claimed to be members of the student union at high prices, and barely survived with hunger.
After the punishment, everyone in the dormitory was devastated and no longer dared to protest.
They just wanted to go outside and take a look, even if it was just for a second of sunlight...Everyone was eagerly crowding in front of the instructor and dormitory manager who came to give a lecture, while their eyes were fixed on the far end of the corridor, in the direction of the stairs.
They had not been out for so long that they had even forgotten the direction and appearance of the stairs. In their eyes, this corridor was like a prison blocked on all sides, so oppressive that it made them feel suffocated.
The instructor was still lecturing: "Of course, don't worry, our school is a regular university with a certificate. As long as you pay the fees on time... I guarantee that you will have both a diploma and academic qualifications... About next month or so, a group of new classmates will come in and live in the vacant 919 and 921. Then you must set a good example, do you understand?"
The girls' dulled senses responded with puzzled expressions: "919 and 921... are they vacant? Aren't there classmates living there?"
The instructor raised his eyebrows, as if looking at a group of lunatics: "Bullshit, your dormitory is the only one with people on the 9th floor. The students in the other two dormitories died last year... You have graduated, what are you dreaming about?"
The girls were speechless, cold sweat crawling up their backs.
Their eyes involuntarily passed behind the instructor and looked towards dormitories 919 and 921... The originally normal wooden doors had been covered with thick dust at some point, and the next second, the doors opened silently, revealing one pale face after another pressed against the wall.
The girls who passed by them countless times had blank expressions on their faces, black spots all over their skin, and their stiff mouths slowly opened:
Don't believe it...leave...run away...
The fear gripped their hearts, even stronger than the instructors' vicious scolding, but they were unable to scream or move their legs.
——Because another even more terrifying scene appeared before their eyes.
The memory ended here, and Guo Guo sat down on the ground in exhaustion: "I really can't see clearly what happened next."
Up to now, all the descriptions of the scene are basically the work of Guo Guo alone, but her entire memory ends here and she has not seen the end of the memory.
What did the “original students” in this dormitory see that was scarier than seeing a ghost with their own eyes?
Tang Xin Jue said in a deep voice: "It's black fog."
"At the end of their memories, they saw a black fog floating out from the end of the corridor, and the darkness swallowed everything."
Whether it was the ghost in the next dormitory, the instructor, or the students in the memory, they were all swallowed up by the black fog that suddenly appeared. This was the end of the memory.
Jiang Lan sighed heavily: "It seems that there is no information related to the health inspection, but rather about the background of this school and dormitory. What does the test want to tell us?"
Ke Ke said in a cold voice: "I only know that this fake university and the so-called school staff are a group of beasts who slipped into the human world from the animal path when they were reincarnated. Expecting them to pass our inspection? It is more reliable than expecting the beasts to become spirits."
Guo Guo's focus was on another aspect: "It's obvious that the test is trying to tell us that there are ghosts in 919 and 921! Real ghosts!"
Zhang You frowned. "Solitary confinement is a punishment that tests a person's endurance and storage of supplies. From what I recall, the total amount of food required for 16 people is very large. This is the problem we have to face tonight."
Each person has different questions and emphases when reading memories.
Jiang Lan turned to look at Tang Xin Jue: "What do you think?"
The thick black fog that swallowed everything flashed through Tang Xinjue's mind again, but both her reason and intuition told her that this scene was probably unrelated to the content of the exam.
This was a fragment she felt with her mental power alone, and judging by the decrease in health, it seemed that the game did not want her to know.
So she shifted her gaze and looked at other information.
"All the information in the exam can be reduced to two categories: one is to kill us, and the other is to keep us alive."
"Since we haven't triggered the death condition yet, this information gives us a way to survive."
"The paths to survival can also be divided into two types: one is to find the answer, and the other is to avoid danger."
Jiang Lan's eyes lit up: "That's right... There is no way that the exam is without danger. Under the surface safety, there may be more unpredictable hidden dangers. I tend to lean towards the latter. Memory is a reminder to help us avoid danger."
She would never believe that the test would be easy and they would have to wait until tomorrow's inspection. This night would definitely not be peaceful.
Tang Xin Jue nodded: "So, the danger we are going to face next is buried in this memory."
Find it and you can survive.
And being alive is the prerequisite for everything!

Game: Please judge the meaning of the test questions~
Student: Draw a capital “death”
