Chapter 158: Higher Education Entrance Examination (XVIII)
On the fourth floor of the teaching building, several figures flew past.
Bing Lanlan and Liuli Zi chased Zhang and Zheng into the 407 examination room one after another. They were afraid of Zheng Wanqing's fist, so they went straight to Zhang You as soon as they entered the classroom.
"Ding Dong, the candidate's identity has been verified!"
They didn't pay attention to the sudden sound of the radio, but only noticed another strange thing: Zhang You didn't dodge or evade this time, and even stretched out his hand and slapped Bing Lanlan's head?
Bing Lanlan: "??? How dare you!"
It jumped up and was about to bite Zhang You's neck angrily, but at the same time it realized something belatedly:
...Why does it seem to have become shorter?
Bing Lanlan clearly remembered that her body as an invigilator was designed to be 1.88 meters tall and strong. How could it be possible that Zhang You, who was less than 1.7 meters tall, could easily grab her head?
She looked up in astonishment, and saw Zhang You's usual cold face within her sight. A strange light seemed to flash behind his plain glasses:
"You lose."
nonsense!
Bing Lanlan sneered and continued to attack, but the smile froze on her face in an instant:
——She is not angry.
——The attack also failed to land successfully.
The invigilator's influence, which the ghosts couldn't resist, had vanished. The bony claws transformed into ordinary arms as they struck Zhang You's shoulders. As Zhang You dodged, Bing Lanlan lost her balance and hit the table.
"Ahhh, if you want to fight, go outside and do it. Don't take away my admission ticket!"
The candidate who was knocked against the table pushed Bing Lanlan away with a look of horror, and hurriedly muttered as he picked up his admission ticket. He was about to poke Bing Lanlan: "Look, your admission ticket fell too."
"You dare to stop me? I'm the invigilator!"
Bing Lanlan opened her eyes wide and looked at the NPC at the lowest level in the examination room.
"I'm still on the college entrance examination inspection team. If you're sick, go get treated and don't affect my exam." The candidate's eyes widened even more than hers:
"Your name and photo are written in black and white on your admission ticket, and your seat is at the table behind me. I told you that you were the invigilator, so why didn't you say you were a ghost?"
The admission ticket was stuffed into Bing Lanlan's hand. She raised it and looked at it, her pupils shrinking suddenly.
"This is not me, no, this is me, this..."
"How is this possible?"
Liuli Zi's cry of disbelief rang out before her. The two ghosts turned around and looked at each other, seeing their own appearance in each other's shocked pupils:
A completely different ontological state from that of the invigilator.
...or rather, the original human state!
Zheng Wanqing took the admission ticket out of Liuli Zi's hand and took a look at it, saying in amazement: "So this is what you really look like. You have a baby face and look like a ten-year-old. And you, eh, you're so short."
She measured the top of Binglanlan's head, which was just at the level of her chest, so she estimated that he was less than 1.5 meters tall.
If they had not witnessed the peeling and changing of the ghost's image with their own eyes, even if they met again in the future, they probably would not be able to connect the baby-faced and loli in front of them with the middle-aged, square-faced, tall female teacher just now.
Zheng Wanqing sighed, "The dungeons in your game are getting worse and worse."
Zhang You replied calmly, "At least now I've seen the real ghost. It will be easier to recognize it when I see it again in the future."
Liuli Zi and Bing Lanlan: "..."
"Quiet! This is an exam room, what are you doing?"
Several invigilators rushed in to stop the four people. The two ghosts Lan and Zi immediately found that they could not even control and command the invigilators, and the other party could even easily restrain them.
"Let me go, I'm not a candidate!"
After gradually realizing what had happened, Liulizi began to struggle frantically: "I haven't even been to high school, how can I possibly take the college entrance examination!"
Zhang You sneered and pushed up his glasses: "You haven't even taken the college entrance examination, but you've served as our invigilator, haven't you?"
“…”
"We've already found your registered identity information in the candidate system. The evidence is irrefutable. Stop quibbling!"
The invigilator did not give Lan Zi any room to struggle and forced them to sit at the examination table. The two ghosts seemed to be bound by some rules in an instant: although their faces were distorted as if they were about to crack, they could only pick up the pens with trembling hands and were forced to start the exam.
"Thank you so much for helping to catch these students who didn't take the college entrance exam seriously."
When facing Zhang You and Zheng Wanqing again, the invigilators' attitude changed drastically. They handed back the admission tickets and said with a smile, "Your examination room is not here. Go up to the sixth floor and check."
The two glanced at each other, then looked at their admission tickets, only to see that the candidate information on them had also changed:
[University Town Higher Education Entrance Examination Admission Ticket]
…
[Examination Room: Classroom 607]
When the four members of 606 gathered on the fifth floor, Tang Xinjue was helping Guo Guo to get the unyielding Lina Lu back into the classroom.
"I'm not taking the test! I'm not!!"
The female ghost with green hair clung to the door frame and refused to let go. Tang Xinjue pried her hair apart one by one: "Two days for the college entrance examination, four years of relaxation, one effort, a lifetime of happiness."
The other three: Thank you, the DNA is moving.
Lina Green cursed: "Do you think I'm stupid? This dungeon is an endless loop. As long as you don't finish it, I won't be able to get out even if I die!"
Tang Xin Jue nodded: "It's okay, just be patient, life will pass quickly."
Lina Green: "..."
In the end, she was dragged in by the invigilator. Before leaving, she could still feel her resentful gaze fixed on Tang Xinjue:
"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"
"Really?" Tang Xinjue smiled. "It's okay, Xiaolu. Remember to call me by my name if you need anything. My name is Tang Xinjue."
The door of the examination room was slammed shut, blocking out all sounds from inside, including the cycle of college entrance examinations that had once been a nightmare for the four people.
Guo Guo finally breathed a sigh of relief: "We shouldn't come back here again next time, right?"
She felt that she was about to develop PTSD from the college entrance examination, and if the cycle happened again, her mentality might collapse on the spot.
Tang Xinjue: "We are not the ones who have the status of college entrance examination candidates now. Naturally, it is time for someone else to take on this responsibility of unlimited examinations."
As for the "exam" that awaits them next...
The four of them looked towards the sixth floor. The empty hall that was originally capped at the fifth floor had a mahogany staircase that appeared at some point, standing quietly at the end of their sight.
The difference from the last time he "went up to the sixth floor" was that this time there were no ghosts waiting to be hunted on the stairs. His mental power swept through them cleanly, and it was surprisingly safe.
Walking into the sixth floor, there was only one door in the entire quiet corridor. The door was ajar, and a mahogany sign marked 607 hung above it.
Tang Xin Jue used his mental strength to test it and shook his head: "I can't see inside."
It was like going through eighty-one trials and tribulations. Even if you made it to the end with untold hardships, you could never predict what the next one would hold. For a moment, the four of them looked solemn.
After a moment of silence, Guo Guo was the first to exhale and bravely stepped forward: "I'll open the door. I still have enough exorcism and purification skills."
Zheng Wanqing immediately reached out to stop him: "Your protective shield is broken, let me do it." As she said that, she was about to summon the iron fist.
"No, I'll just..."
Tang Xinjue and Zhang You exchanged a glance. As expected, within a few seconds, they overheard Guo Guo and Zheng Wanqing arguing over who should push the door first.
They rolled up their sleeves and each took one side, pulling the two people who were arguing to the back to prevent them from accidentally damaging the door.
"Stop arguing. Are you going to take the exam or not? If not, just go out and turn left."
A cold male voice suddenly sounded, and several people immediately fell silent and stopped what they were doing.
As the air grew quieter, the door creaked open automatically. Immediately, an empty classroom appeared before the four of them.
Looking around, the classroom was unremarkable, looking like an ordinary examination room, except for the one sitting on the chair... an eyeball?
Behind the podium, a giant white eyeball, half the height of a human, filled the chairs. As the classroom door opened, the gray pupil of the eyeball seemed to glance at them, and the cold male voice sounded again:
"Come in."
Four people: ...
If they saw correctly, did this eyeball just roll its eyes?
Under the watchful eyes of eight people, he rolled his eyes even more obviously, and his voice was full of impatience:
"Why don't you come in? The university level won't be upgraded? Do you want me to go down and welcome you?"
Guo Guo swallowed his saliva: "You are..."
"I am your invigilator for this competition."
His eyes felt cold.
"Congratulations on coming to the University City entrance examination. Now that everyone is here, the exam will begin."
