Escape the Library

Chapter 43: Death Code 02 Inn in the Wilderness

Yue Xingwen pressed the "Confirm Course Selection" button, and the familiar mechanical voice sounded in the ears of the four at the same time: "Congratulations to the c-183 research group for successfully selecting a course, because the "Death Code" examination room is limited to 12 students, we are matching you with the same class Candidates, please wait. If there are less than 12 people matched, the examination room can be opened for more than 4 people."

A class of 12 students is likely to match 3 research groups. Most of the students who came to the class of "Death Code" will find a good team. I hope that the team of the same class encountered in this exam will not be too pitiful. Even if it can't help, at least don't hold back.

When the clock came to 8 o'clock, the four of them flashed at the same time——

When I was in the library just now, it was still morning, but after entering the examination room, it turned into night.

The sun has set, and the surrounding light is very dim. It is vaguely clear that there is a dense forest ahead, and there is a winding path leading to the depths of the woods. The surroundings were so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, and no one could be seen. The deep woods were like monsters with their big mouths open, trying to engulf them all.

The woods in the wilderness are easily reminiscent of some ghost stories.

Liu Zhaoqing shook the goosebumps on his back and complained, "Why is this place so gloomy?"

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other and walked side by side towards the depths of the woods.

Ke Shaobin recited the phrase "believe in science" in his heart, and then followed Yue Xingwen nervously.

A crescent moon rises in the sky, and the cold moonlight sprinkles down gently, like a veil covering the whole forest. , as if it were a deserted corner abandoned by the world.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew through, the leaves made a "swoosh" sound, and the black mottled tree shadows cast on the ground were like ghosts with fangs and claws. Ke Shaobin's back was hairy, his fingers were tightly clenched, and he whispered: "There is no task instruction for the exam, shall we continue to walk in..."

Yue Xingwen looked up at the sky and said, "For a standard first quarter moon, according to the lunar calendar, today's date should be the eighth day of the first lunar month. We are now moving forward to the true north position."

Jiang Pingce said: "Well, I wrote it down."

The two entered the state too quickly, so they began to observe the surrounding details and analyze the time and direction.

After walking for a while, I found that there was a loft in the distance, and the outline of a roof was faintly exposed under the moonlight. Yue Xingwen pointed to the corridor: "Should it be the inn mentioned in the exam description?"

The four of them accelerated their pace, and after walking around several corners in a row, a three-storey building appeared in front of everyone.

There was a dilapidated plaque in front of the building, which read "No. 7 Inn". Yue Xingwen didn't go in rashly, but carefully observed the surrounding environment through the moonlight——

There is a lotus pond on the side of the inn, the area is as big as a football field. Ignoring the weird inn deep in the woods, the scenery of this lotus pond is extremely spectacular.

There is also a wooden plank road on the pond, and you can walk to the middle of the pond to enjoy the lotus flowers at close range.

At this moment, a light footstep sounded behind him, and Yue Xingwen turned around abruptly and met a pair of black and white eyes - a girl with short ear-length hair, a peaked cap, and blue jeans with a simple dress. Black T-shirt and black sneakers, cool, with no expression on his face, tall and thin, and his skin looks pale in the moonlight.

Yue Xingwen greeted, "Qin...Miao?"

It should be the elder sister of the twins, the younger sister's face is not so cold.

As soon as he finished speaking, an identical face suddenly appeared next to the girl. However, the latter was not wearing a hat. She was wearing the same jeans, white T-shirt, and white sneakers, and her face was much softer. After seeing Yue Xingwen, a shy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she stepped forward and said, "Xingwen? Brother Liu, and classmate Ke, see you again!"

This seems to be my sister Qin Lu, a geographic planning girl who has cooperated with the cardiovascular ward once before.

Unexpectedly, the twin sisters actually formed a team?

Qin Miao was originally expressionless, and her eyes were cold as if they were about to freeze, but at the last moment of the "Orienteering" public elective course, her arm was bitten by a wolf, and Liu Zhaoqing cured her with gauze. She still remembers this feeling. . After recognizing the four of them, Qin Miao's expression softened a lot. He stepped forward and nodded politely: "Hello, everyone. It's a coincidence that they matched to an exam room."

Yue Xingwen asked, "Have you two sisters formed a team?"

Qin Miao glanced at her sister beside her and said lightly, "Well, you recognized me as Qin Lu in the last public elective course and called her by her name. Only then did I know that she came to the library and sent a private message to find her after she went out. took her."

Qin Lu's face was a little embarrassed. I don't know if their sisters are in trouble. The two faces are exactly the same, but they can be distinguished from the expression, demeanor and clothes. The elder sister is aloof and has a strong aura, while the younger sister is introverted and shy.

Yue Xingwen looked behind the two of them, a little puzzled: "Why are there only two people, what about your teammates?"

Qin Miao pressed the brim of her hat and said in a low voice, "The previous research group, I didn't know the three girls well, and they disbanded after the public elective course. I found Qin Lu, and the two of us formed a separate team first. "

Yue Xingwen asked concerned: "Have you taken the course "Maze of Prime Numbers"?"

Qin Lu scratched her hair embarrassedly and said, "I study geography, so I can analyze maps. We didn't do any additional questions, we just walked through the maze, and finally got 70 points to pass the test."

Qin Miao asked: "The c-183 research group that got full marks in the labyrinth is you?"

Yue Xingwen glanced at Jiang Pingce and said with a smile, "Yes, we have Jiang Xueba leading the team."

Jiang Pingce asked indifferently: "You two, dare to come directly to the reasoning class?"

"Finding temporary teammates is very likely to be pitted, and the results are tied to teammates. It is better to match students randomly. At least if we both perform well, the results will not be too bad. Since there are 12 people in the test room, there must be 10 with us. I'm not familiar with it. It depends on luck if you match the exam room. If you fail the exam, go back to the first floor for repairs." Qin Miao was very calm, as if he didn't mind the matter of failing the exam.

Qin Lu looked at her sister, leaned over and whispered: "We are very lucky, we met Xingwen, and we can win again this time." Qin Miao raised her eyebrows and didn't answer.

Just as he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps behind him. There were four people walking towards the inn, two men and two women. The boy is holding the hand of the girl next to him, and his movements are intimate, which looks like a couple relationship. One of the girls has curly chestnut hair and the other has long straight hair. Both of them have good looks, but their face is pale and seems to be a little nervous.

As soon as the four of them arrived, a familiar mechanical voice sounded in their ears: "This exam room is matched with 3 subject groups, with a total of 10 students. The exam is about to start, please enter the hotel in front of you."

In the group of four, the tall boy directly scolded "Fuck". The girl with long straight hair clung to his hand: "This spooky inn in the wilderness looks like a haunted house. Maybe there are unclean things in it. Are we sure we want to live here?"

Yue Xingwen glanced at the four of them and asked, "Hello, what major are you all?"

The four looked at him warily, and the curly-haired girl said, "Why tell you?"

Qin Miao was a little impatient: "Did you not read the test? Break the death code and survive for 6 days to pass the level. The puzzle-solving dungeon must share clues, and everyone can work together to come up with the correct answer. Don't worry, hurry up and introduce yourself. ."

The two girls were stunned by her, one of them frowned and said, "Classmate, how do you talk?" The other immediately echoed: "That is, what is fierce..."

Qin Lu stood up to smooth things out: "We also hope that this course can pass the test smoothly. The handsome guy who asked you just now is a scholar in the Chinese Department, and his reasoning is very strong. I followed him to win the medical school class. You guys. In this class, you have to follow his instructions, don’t make trouble, follow his ideas, and you will definitely pass the test.”

Yue Xingwen: "..."

No, classmate, do you have so much confidence in me?

The four looked at Yue Xingwen suspiciously: "Really?"

Jiang Pingce said coldly, "Don't waste time."

The tallest boy is more interesting, guessing that he has met the Great God, he stepped forward and extended his hand friendly: "Hello, I'm Gao Yongqiang from the Architecture Department of Nanyang Jiaotong University, this is my girlfriend, Gao Xiaoxin from the Chinese Department."

He gave the straight-haired girl beside him a comforting look, and then introduced: "My cousin, Lu Kai from the Department of Physics, his girlfriend, Luo Jiajia from the Academy of Biological Sciences."

Yue Xingwen: "..."

Is this research group actually related?

Liu Zhaoqing teased: "You come to the library, and you still bring your family with you?"

Gao Yongqiang looked helpless: "The four of us happened to have an appointment to watch a movie together that day. When we went back to school, we found that the door of the library was open. We went in and took a look out of curiosity. The army was annihilated."

Everyone: "..."

Then you really double the tragedy.

Yue Xingwen looked at Gao Xiaoxin from the Chinese Department and asked, "I'm also from the Chinese Department. What reference book did you get?"

Gao Xiaoxin looked at her boyfriend, who whispered: "Everyone has to stay in the same exam room for 6 days. Anyway, your powers can't hide them from them. It doesn't matter if you tell them. Isn't there a library contract now? They don't dare to hurt them casually. human."

Gao Xiaoxin was relieved and said, "I'm taking "The Complete Book of Punctuation Marks". The comma and comma can make the action pause for a few seconds, the period can stop someone's words immediately, and the double quotation marks can frame the designated target and fix the body. , the ellipsis can delay time, slow down the movement, and the continuous exclamation mark can launch a mental attack.”

Yue Xingwen held back a smile and said, "What about the question mark?"

Gao Xiaoxin's face was a little embarrassed: "Let the other party be full of question marks, completely confused."

Everyone: "????"

The ability of the Chinese department is really strange.

Gao Yongqiang coughed and said, "We're done with the introduction, how about everyone?"

Yue Xingwen said: "The four of us are the Chinese Department, the Mathematics Department, the Medical Department and the Computer Department."

Gao Yongqiang nodded and turned his eyes to the two short-haired girls: "Hey? You two look the same... twins?"

Qin Lu said: "Well. My sister is from the history department and I am from the geography department. Please take care of everyone."

The exam room is full.

Yue Xingwen asked everyone about their majors in advance, and was also worried that if they were really haunted at night, if they entered the escape mode, they knew everyone's majors and abilities in advance, so they could cooperate with each other.

Jiang Pingce said lightly, "Come in."

He stepped forward and opened the door.

In the desolate woods, the "squeak" sound of the wooden door being pushed open is sore at night.

As the dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, a gust of cold wind suddenly came from the house. The house has been unoccupied for many years, and it exudes a damp and musty smell. Jiang Pingce frowned and covered his mouth and nose. He raised his head carefully. one look--

The ground is covered with very simple bluestone floor tiles. The entire inn is built in an antique style, and the steps upstairs are also wooden stairs.

On the first floor there are a few wooden stools and wooden tables, and then there is the check-in reception. Due to the lack of care for a long time, the plants in the house have grown wildly, and green vines have climbed to the roof.

Yue Xingwen glanced at the students behind him, and said calmly, "Everyone walks through the inn as quickly as possible, first figure out the internal structure, and then collect clues separately."
