Chapter 155: Higher Education Entrance Examination (15)
Scored twice.
Guo Guo's mind went blank for a moment, and he switched back and forth between saying he had taken the wrong path and running away immediately. Finally, he decided to take the initiative:
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Xiaohong subconsciously put down the chicken leg, rolling her eyes as she defended herself, "This, this is where I'm supposed to be invigilating. It's normal for me to eat...and rest near the exam room."
What's more, she didn't eat it at all, not even a single bite!
As she spoke, a trace of grievance appeared on her round face: I ran from the fifth floor to the first floor, how could I still be found?
"...Wait a minute," Xiao Hong regained some of her sanity and suddenly realized something was wrong. She grabbed Guo Guo, who hadn't escaped yet, and asked, "Then why are you here?"
"Isn't your exam room on the fifth floor? Why are you running to the first floor? Why didn't the invigilator stop you?"
The female invigilator's face gradually fell, and a hint of the gloom that only ghosts have spread over it: "Could it be that you ran down here on purpose..."
Guo Guo: "Yes, I came down here to vomit on purpose. I'm sorry!"
She interrupted Xiao Hong and bowed her head to admit her mistake, her shoulders hunched nervously. "The invigilator wouldn't let me vomit, so I had to sneak out and find a place where no one was around to vomit. And since I couldn't find a bathroom, I accidentally ended up here... Ugh—"
Before he could finish his words, he vomited, and the direction of the vomit happened to be aimed at the chicken leg on the ground.
Xiaohong's expression changed again in an instant. She hurriedly bent down to pick up the chicken leg and flapped her wings like an old hen to chase people away: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't vomit here, or I'll call the invigilator to arrest you!"
Guo Guo retreated to the door reluctantly, but his legs never really moved out. His hands were still tightly grasping the door frame, and his eyes were flickering.
Just as Xiaohong was talking, she noticed a row of cabinets at the back of the room. The shape of the keyholes on them looked very similar to mini keys...
The most important thing is that if I go out now, I may never have the chance to come back - Xiaohong has become suspicious.
Guo Guo knew there were only two reasons she could escape unscathed: one was that Xiaohong, for some reason, just wanted to eat the chicken leg and didn't want to embarrass her. The other was the information gap; it wasn't just the four people in dormitory 606 who were isolated in the dungeon; the ghost invigilators were probably also cut off from each other.
So Xiaohong didn't know that they had already obtained the real admission tickets, nor did she know that they had already found out the true identities of the four main invigilators, nor did she know that Guo Guo came here to find the key props - and once she realized this, it would be time to fall out.
Guo Guo weighed his current combat power and his face turned even paler.
If I refuse to leave, it will definitely arouse further suspicion. If I leave, the mission will fail. I will die in both the forward and backward directions. What should I do?
On the other end of the instant messaging line, Zhang You and the others seemed to be at a loss as well. Tang Xinjue's voice had simply disappeared for a long time. No one knew what had happened, and there was no news or contact. Guo Guo didn't dare to ask. For a moment, all he could hear was Zheng Wanqing's irritable voice:
"Forget about the academic affairs chapter and leave first. I'll find you once I catch that Bing Lan!"
Guo Guo's head was buzzing from the shock: "..."
Zhang You: "...Okay, stop making Guoguo more panicked."
She then said to Guo Guo, "But what Wanqing said makes sense. You're no match for Xiaohong alone, so safety is the most important thing. We can take it slow in the third round..."
"Bang!!!"
Suddenly , a loud noise erupted from the communication , which scared Guo Guo so much that he let out a short scream. He subconsciously hugged the door frame with both hands before realizing that he had shouted.
Xiaohong, who was packing things, was also frightened and turned her head sharply, just in time to meet the eyes of Guo Guo in koala state.
They both: “…”
Guo Guo said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Actually, I just sneezed accidentally."
Xiaohong: "Do I look like a deaf person or a fool?"
This time, she didn't even bother to pick up the chicken leg. She threw her things aside and walked over. A completely unfamiliar, chubby face slowly approached. However, the pair of dark, large pupils on the face still reminded Guo Guo of some familiar, unpleasant memories of being hit in the face by the bed curtain.
Guo Guo slowly let go and swallowed his saliva: "Teacher, I have to go back to take the exam."
The other party did not answer. His dark eyes rolled up and down, and he sneered: "I chose you after careful consideration. I thought you were stupid, but it seems that I am the one who is treated as a fool. To be honest, do you already know-"
"Know what?"
A clear voice suddenly appeared from behind him. Guo Guo was stunned. His highly tense brain seemed to be suddenly broken by a string, and he was blank for a moment.
This is……
Xiaohong was also stunned, her gaze shifting to behind Guo Guo. At the same time, the half-closed door was pushed open by another force, revealing a figure behind it.
Tang Xinjue, covered in blood, leaned against the other door frame, bandaging his arm with expert skill. He smiled and nodded at her, "Hello, teacher."
Xiaohong: “…”
Grass.
"Heart decision??!"
Even though he recognized the familiar voice, when he turned around and saw the person, Guo Guo still took a breath, his face full of disbelief: "How could you suddenly, you are not..."
Wasn't he still in another single-player space in the dungeon? How did he suddenly appear here?
Not only her, Zhang You and Wan Qing on the other side of the communicator were also stunned and didn't come back to their senses for several seconds.
"I didn't see you in the exam room, and I heard you were feeling unwell and wanted to vomit, so I came down to look for you."
Tang Xinjue naturally continued, "What a coincidence! I saw you chatting with the invigilator right after I came down."
She turned her head leisurely: "What were you and the teacher talking about just now? What idiot?"
The "invigilator" in the room silently took a step back, and with a forced smile, he lifted the corners of his mouth.
"It's me. I'm the fool."
Tang Xinjue shook his head: "Teacher, how can you say that about yourself? You've been working so hard as an invigilator, you deserve to eat something and take a break."
She had just finished bandaging one hand and began to use the remaining bandage to wrap the other. She said slowly, "But as you can see, my classmate is really having a hard time with the exam, so I'm afraid he can only rest here for a while. Will it disturb you?"
Xiao Hong shook her head even harder: "No, no, no, I'm disturbing you. I'm leaving now, you guys can vomit slowly, don't be anxious."
She blurted out these words as if her mouth was burning. Before her words even reached the air, she had swept away all the chicken legs and belongings and was hurriedly trying to squeeze out from between the two of them.
"Do you need help?"
"No need!" Xiao Hong screamed and reflexively shrank back, as if Tang Xin Jue was some kind of monster. Her body almost crushed Guo Guo, but she still didn't forget to push him away frantically:
"Don't worry about me, feel free to do what you want. If you don't want to go back and take the exam here, that's fine. I can help you apply for two separate invigilators to ensure a spacious and well-ventilated environment. It's okay, it's what a teacher should do."
The moment she finally squeezed out of the door, her voice had not yet disappeared, but her figure had already disappeared without a trace.
Guo Guo: ...Why did she feel that Xiaohong ran away faster after seeing the Heart Sutra than when she saw a ghost?
But no matter what, we are safe now .
Seeing Tang Xinjue close the door, Guo Guo also breathed a sigh of relief. However, the next second his gaze turned to Tang Xinjue, and the breath was held back again:
"How did you get so hurt???"
Everywhere he looked, there wasn't a single piece of Tang Xinjue's clothing that wasn't soaked in blood!
When she tore off her coat, the wounds on her shoulder blade and abdomen were even more hideous and terrifying, not to mention her arm that had just been bandaged... Guo Guo's eyes went dark and he almost couldn't hold back the tears.
Guo Guo only knew that Tang Xinjue was being chased over there, but he had no idea the situation was so dire - because he had never heard Tang Xinjue cry out in pain, only the occasional calm conversation.
So when Tang Xinjue's voice finally disappeared, Guo Guo and the other two thought that she was just temporarily unable to speak, but they didn't expect that she would suddenly launch a powerful move?
"Xin Jue, did you just complete your own copy?" Zhang You asked hurriedly.
There is only one possible way to forcibly enter other examination rooms in the middle of an exam, and that is to violently knock down the chief invigilator like Zheng Wanqing did and forcibly damage the examination room.
Looking at it this way, the sudden loud noise in the communication signal just now...
"Oh, that's the sound of the wall collapsing."
Tang Xinjue threw his coat aside and explained to Guo Guo in a relaxed tone, "I didn't think things through completely. I overlooked the fact that you were going to come alone to look for important props, so I changed the plan at the last minute."
"But the berserk ghost is a bit difficult to deal with, so I tried to collapse the wall and buried her inside."
Guo Guo: “…”
Is it appropriate to say something like this in such a light-hearted tone?
She knew Tang Xinjue had no habit of complaining, so she just brushed aside the injuries and the battle. But when she thought about how he had risked his life for her, her nose started to sore again, and she held her breath in her throat.
Tang Xinjue was shocked: "Do you really want to vomit?"
Guo Guo took off his coat to wipe the blood off her face and muttered, "No, I just feel useless for causing you such a serious injury."
If only she could become stronger, even stronger.
Tang Xin Jue was silent for two seconds, then said helplessly:
"Don't rub it. It's just a scary-looking skin wound. It will heal if you rub it again."
Guo Guo: “…”
There was no time to talk further, and the two quickly got back to business, searching for props in the room.
Just as Guo Guo had observed and estimated before, the middle drawer of the bookcase in the corner of the room was indeed locked, and the size of the keyhole was almost the same as that of a mini key.
After trying several times one by one, the key quickly found the keyhole that matched it.
The moment it was inserted, Tang Xin Jue didn't rush to turn it. Instead, he let it rest there quietly. He turned to Guo Guo and said, "How long until the last exam is over?"
Guo Guo was confused and looked at his wrist. "Only five minutes left."
"Okay, are you ready?"
"W-What preparations?"
Tang Xin Jue pointed downwards and said, "Open this cabinet. If there's a seal from the Academic Affairs Office inside, it means we've found the last item. All the NPCs and ghosts in the dungeon will probably start rioting."
"By then, those ordinary, non-aggressive examinees won't attack your invigilator. Even some beings we haven't even encountered could become monsters seeking our lives. All we have to do is survive the journey from here to the spawn point at the school gate."
"Want to become stronger? Here's your chance to break through."
Guo Guo: “???”
Guo Guo's pupils trembled!
The author has something to say:
Guo Guo: Thank you for the invitation. I suddenly feel that hugging thighs is quite good.
