Chapter 127

Chapter 127

In the "examination room", the players were in panic and stumbled away from the table.

Yu Tang walked to seat No. 6, squatted down, and took a closer look.

"Look what it does!"

Dai Lei said anxiously: "You are with him, you are also an NPC in the game, right? Is this a game flow or a BUG? If it is a BUG, solve it quickly -"

Yu Tang: "NPC?"

Dai Lei met his gaze, hesitated in his words, and his heart shrank unconsciously.

"I am not an NPC." Yu Tang said, "I have a role. I am your invigilator."

Yu Tang squatted in front of seat No. 6, raised his hand and waved it in the air.

This card has a different image in everyone's eyes. In other people's eyes, his actions are extremely weird. He is either pushing away a group of weird monsters that are constantly squirming, or he is touching a ferocious bloody corpse., everyone’s expressions changed slightly.

Yu Tang brushed aside "Zhan Chen's" short hair.

The "Zhan Chen" projected in his eyes had been dead for a long time, hastily tied to a chair, his chest and shoulders were cold, pale and quiet, as if he had fallen into an exhausted sleep again.

The familiar warmth enveloped my heart.

…

Yu Tang accurately grasped Zhan Chen's extended hand without looking back and shook his head: "I'm fine."

He turned his face slightly, turned to Zhan Chen through the cover of the desk, and lowered his voice: "I need to confirm the time..."

Yu Tang looked back.

Zhan Chen's gaze was still gentle, but it was obviously not approving. The hand held by him was held back and intertwined with Yu Tang's fingers little by little.

The warm palm pressed against the cold and wet palm, and the unbearable strength came out from the fingertips, pulling him out of that terrible dream.

Looking up again, the illusion of "Zhan Chen" has disappeared.

What reappeared in front of Yu Tang's eyes turned into countless lines of code that were constantly scrolling and updated.

Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and pursed his lips.

He held Zhan Chen's hand tightly and concentrated on copying and pasting the status and editing time of all the card data, letting the aurora float past and completely swallowing up the afterimage of the card.

Everything in the orphanage is just an image extracted from the memory of Feng Qing's world. It does not really exist. It is only occasionally triggered by some kind of three-dimensional projection reproduction due to the overlapping actions of the player and the character.

The afterimage of the card was swallowed up, and everything returned to normal. A blank paper slowly appeared on the table.

Dai Lei gritted his teeth and bravely picked it up, almost unable to hold back his surprise: "What the hell is this?!"

"This is a high-level mathematics question." Song Sihang explained beside him, "The definite integral of the piecewise function, this can remove the discontinuity point..."

"I know!" Dai Lei was so angry that he had a headache. "Why do we take this kind of exam in the orphanage? Isn't it said that the children in the orphanage are illiterate?"

"It's because he's illiterate."

Dai Lei shook the paper twice: "Then we still need to take this test——"

His words suddenly stopped.

...The voice that spoke just now was a little girl’s voice.

Chai Ning had regained her composure and sat back in her seat.Meng Nanke accompanied her. The two of them could not hold hands. They could only touch their arms with insulating gloves and whisper something that no one could hear clearly.

Yu Liuhui was so frightened that she couldn't help crying, and was still being comforted softly by Team Doctor Sui.

A chill suddenly ran down Dai Lei's back. He turned around suddenly, trying to find the source of the sound, but couldn't see anything.

"Only three people can be sponsored to study. Everyone is zero, so there are no top three."

The little girl's voice was clear and innocent, but it seemed particularly strange in the empty hall: "Let's not do the questions anymore, okay? This way we don't have to separate."

A boy with a weak voice answered: "If you don't answer the questions, you are disobedient. The dean will punish us."

"We save money for the dean, and he won't punish us." Another child's voice rang out, "Don't be afraid, I will write a few random strokes and hand in the paper when the invigilator comes back, leaving you to make little wooden figures."

Another little girl asked in a low voice: "When will the invigilator come back? I'm so cold and want to go back to sleep."

Another child's voice answered quietly, as if whispering in everyone's ear: "You can't leave without handing in your papers..."

The next second, the window in the hall suddenly seemed to be blown by a blizzard by the wind, and it was slapped hard several times.

The windows and doors of the villa, which had been in disrepair for a long time, could not be closed tightly, and air leaked from all directions. The cold wind penetrated in all directions, wrapping around the exposed skin like needles.

White frost spreads slowly on the ground through the biting cold air.

Sui Zhengfan's voice deepened: "The ambient temperature is dropping, and we must provide a unified solution as soon as possible."

"Do we have to take the exam?" Dai Lei was a little irritated, "The temperature in the hall is dropping, can't we leave the hall? Why do we have to be led by the orphanage -"

Sui Zhengfan asked: "How to leave?"

Dai Lei had just seen the stairs leading to the second floor. He raised his head and was about to speak, but his expression changed instantly.

When gathering in the lobby, everyone actually saw these stairs.

Although it has turned into black and white keys, it is at least still a passage. As long as the correct rules are found, it may not be impossible to pass.

…

But at some point, just like the lid of the piano being closed, these stairs suddenly disappeared!

Dai Lei's heart tightened, and when he was about to speak, the silent one-eyed dragon suddenly grabbed the pencil on the table.

He scribbled a few strokes on the paper, then stood up with the paper in hand and rushed to Yu Tang: "I've finished my answer!"

Yu Tang looked at the scrawled paper and raised his gaze: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" One-Eyed Dragon stared at Yu Tang, "You said you were the invigilator, right? The invigilator can't prevent candidates from handing in papers, right?"

...When they followed Duan You on missions, they also encountered this kind of haunted house.

Although he couldn't figure out why Yu Tang and Zhan Chen pretended to be the characters of the game, Cyclops had always been familiar with this kind of game, and the survival methods were often hidden in the announced rules.

The rule this time is "the top three can be sponsored to study", but since everyone is illiterate, they can only be ranked according to the order of submission of papers.

The one-eyed dragon's power is "clairvoyance", and his field is his eye. He can sneak into any place and see all the secrets.They were hiding in the basement before and watched everything that happened in the entire villa with this eye.

Before coming out of the basement, he sent his other eye outside the villa, and now he could see the blizzard in the sky.It won't be long before the wind and snow completely submerge the villa.

Only the first three people who turned in the papers could leave here, and the people behind could only freeze into popsicles together with the villa in the increasingly cold ice and snow.

"Hurry up!" One-eyed Dragon kept urging, "It doesn't matter what you want to do, just let us out!"

On the other side, Lizard suddenly understood what he meant, grabbed a pen and scribbled quickly on the paper.

The one-eyed dragon put the paper in front of Yu Tang: "I am the first, I want to hand in the paper——"

The next second, the paper in his hand seemed to be pulled away by some force, and suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

The sound of children whispering to each other rang in the air.

The one-eyed dragon breathed a long sigh of relief, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the villa door with a swagger.

He raised his hand and pressed the door handle. Just as he was about to open the door, his clothes were suddenly grabbed by several small hands.

"Fake!" the little girl's voice became angry, "His paper is wrong! Fake! He is a fake!"

"A stranger came in, and our people were replaced!"

"Replaced! Replaced!"

"Xiaoba has been replaced, Xiaoba is a fake!"

"Thief! Liar!"

…

The children's voices were sharp and angry, and before the one-eyed dragon's proud look could fade away from his face, he was pulled back by an invisible force and dragged back involuntarily.

The air in front of him fluctuated for a moment, and the strange carved door appeared again.

One-eyed dragon suddenly remembered Duan You's death.

His face instantly turned pale, and he looked at the door that was slowly opening. He struggled hurriedly, trying desperately to push away the pulling force: "I'm not a liar! Let me go, I answered the question wrong, I'll answer the question again..."

He was pushed out of the door by the angry children.

His voice also disappeared outside the strange door.

Almost at the same moment, everyone noticed the soaring mental power of the Cyclops. His powers soared from the bottom of A-level, but there was no sense of pleasure in the upgrade on his face, only endless fear.

Immediately afterwards, the mental power that seemed to never stop growing seemed to break through a certain limit, and the air suddenly fluctuated violently for a moment.

The body of the one-eyed dragon suddenly started to shrink and deform like a deflated rubber ball, and quickly collapsed.

…

After a few seconds of silence, Yu Liuhui asked in a trembling voice: "Did he...disappear?"

"It hasn't disappeared." Dai Lei said, "His eyes are still there, or maybe it's not that his eyes are still there..."

Dai Lei didn't say any more, but everyone's hearts sank involuntarily.

...It’s not that the eyes of the Cyclops are still there.

Like Duan You, he evolved into an S-class superpower outside that door.

Then, just like Duan You was swallowed by his vortex, the Cyclops was also "eaten" by his eyes.

Dai Lei instinctively looked at Sui Zhengfan. His voice was extremely low and trembled with fear: "This is the final result of evolution, isn't it? We will be swallowed by our own powers..."

Dai Lei asked: "Is it the person with the superpower that evolves, or the superpower itself?"

Sui Zhengfan did not answer.

He walked over and closed the door: "Now is not the time to explore the answer to this question."

"Then when will it be?!" Dai Lei couldn't help it anymore, "Did humans gain superpowers, or did superpowers use humans as a springboard to evolve? If it's the latter, then we people"

Before he could finish his words, a heavy sound of falling to the ground suddenly came from behind him.

Yu Liuhui overturned the stool and fell to the ground.

Her eyebrows and eyelashes were already covered with a layer of white frost, her face was pale from the cold, her body was trembling unconsciously, and she was no longer conscious.

Team doctor Sui quickly walked over, expanded his treatment area, and covered her whole body.

Dai Lei looked at the situation in front of him, his anger was frozen by the ice, and he was stunned in place.

"We the people have to survive first."

Sui Zhengfan said: "I'll give you two minutes to sort out your emotions, and then we'll discuss the real rules of the game."

His tone was still that of an ordinary middle-aged man with a good temper, but what he said made Dai Lei freeze on the spot and swallowed it involuntarily.

Zhan Chen acted as the NPC in the game and had already stepped forward in time to considerately distribute to the players the warm cotton coats and thermal pads that dropped when the plot was triggered.

Sui Zhengfan nodded towards Zhan Chen and walked towards the table in the center: "Okay, come here..."

"First of all, we need to confirm one thing." Sui Zhengfan said, "Is there anyone who hasn't touched a single stroke on their paper?"

…

The rules of the game are actually not difficult to guess.

The point of this exam is not to get in the top three, but to turn in a paper that won't be recognized as a fake.

It is absolutely impossible to scribble. The "children" in the orphanage are very familiar with each other. Even if they just scribble on the paper, they can easily tell whether the person answering the paper is one of their own.

If the person who handed in the paper was found to be an imposter, he would be pushed out of the door by the angry children.

"But how can these be exactly the same?" Dai Lei couldn't help but say, "Do we have the handwriting data of these children?"

"Even if there is, what if they don't recognize it after tracing it?"

Lizard watched his two accomplices die outside that door. He was completely frightened. His face was pale and he didn't dare to write another word: "Anyway, it's up to them. Unless what we wrote is different, what we wrote is different."There is no way..."

"No, there is a way." Chai Ning suddenly said, "Most of the children in the orphanage are illiterate, right?"

Chai Ning said: "Xiao Ke and I are such people. When we were in school, we often looked through the office to guess people's names when the seals were not removed... There were two types of people in the papers that we couldn't tell apart."

Meng Nanke nodded and whispered: "One is a blank paper, and the other is a full-score test paper."

There is not a single word written on the white scroll, so it is of course impossible to identify the owner of the scroll.

They looked at the full-score test paper as if it were a holy book. They only knew that if it was written to the fullest and the student scored the highest, he must be the best student in the class.

"It's like you didn't say it." Dai Lei was a little discouraged, "Didn't I just say it? If you hand in a blank paper, you will be beaten. They will definitely not dare to hand in a blank paper. In such an orphanage, is there anyone who can get perfect scores in high-level mathematics? Old Song, can you?Full marks for the answer?”

Song Sihang was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I can only answer seventy points... I didn't get perfect marks in college."

"Seventy points is pretty good." Dai Lei scratched his hair irritably, "I don't even have a choice. I can't answer even with seven points..."

…

Zhan Chen listened to the discussion of these people for a while and returned to the sofa.

Yu Tang, the invigilator, collected a paper and was sitting at the invigilator's desk. He turned a blind eye to the "candidates" whispering to each other and concentrated on typing on his laptop.

He thought the cotton-padded clothes were unsightly, and he was reluctant to wear them at first, but Zhan Chen forced him to put one on. Now his hands are almost shrunk in the cotton-padded clothes, and his fingertips are still pale from the cold.

"I found it."

When he noticed Zhan Chen coming back, Yu Tang pushed away his notebook and leaned back: "We are now——"

Before he finished speaking, he paused involuntarily.

Zhan Chen leaned over, peeled the teacher who was temporarily in charge of the exam out of the half-warm cotton coat, wrapped it into his chest and shoulders, and put Yu Tang's hand under his ribs to warm it.

Yu Tang's hands were cold. In addition to the lower ambient temperature, there was still a faint cold sweat on his palms.

Yu Tang moved his numb fingers, and he almost shivered from the heat on Zhan Chen's body. He couldn't help but squint his eyes in comfort: "Senior Zhan, how high have you adjusted yourself?"

"Forty degrees, let me use it as a hot water bottle for you for a while."

Zhan Chen asked: "What did you find?"

"Time." Yu Tang said, "I analyzed the code of that card."

The director of the Secret Service used this card to trap the electronic storm. Judging from the timeline, it was long after Feng Qing's experience in the orphanage.

In the twelfth entrapment operation, Yu Tang finally succeeded in snatching this card.

Later, Yu Tang took over the role of Luo Ran in the book. Before the end of the story, he integrated the code of this card into the hypnosis card and gave Wen Er a nightmare from which she could not wake up.

"The afterimage of the card recorded by Feng Qing's world is the shadow left by the card at that time point. As long as this shadow code is analyzed, we can determine the time we are in."

"We are now in the eighth year after Puying fell into the electronic storm," Yu Tang said.

Before Zhan Chen could respond, the system couldn't help but be stunned: "What does this have to do with Pu Ying?"

"It does matter." Yu Tang said, "A lot of things happened this year."

"This year, Wen Er joined his mentor's laboratory."

"Wen You's mentor made a deal with the conservatives and decided to start preparing an experimental plan for the sharp knife group and clean up the sharp knife group for the conservatives."

"It was also this year that I met Pu Ying who was lost in the eye of the storm. He had stripped away too many particles and was about to dissipate."

"I gave my core particles to Pu Ying and sent him out of the electronic storm..."

Yu Tang said: "This is what happened in the eighth year when Pu Ying fell into the storm."

The system did the math and became more and more puzzled: "Then why did Pu Ying go back so late?"

"Pu Ying fell into the electronic storm when he was six years old. Even if he came out eight years later, he was only fourteen years old... But he only returned to Pu's house after so many years."

The system asked: "Did someone hide him? Why did they hide him?"

Yu Tang: "Because of Wen You."

The system was a little confused: "What?"

…

Wen'er's talent is an important part of studying electron storms.

To complete the entire plan, Wen You's presence is indispensable, and Wen You's mentor must keep Wen You in the laboratory.

——Is there any way to make Wen Er willingly study electronic storms feverishly?

"There is only one way." Yu Tang said, "Never give Pu Ying back to him."

Wen Er studies electronic storms in order to find Pu Ying. As long as he cannot find Pu Ying, he will continue to study it.

The system was stunned.

Yu Tang moved towards Zhan Chen's arms, and his whole body was pressed against Zhan Chen's body. Not satisfied yet, he buried his face in Zhan Chen's arms around him.

Zhan Chen lowered his head and looked at the small ball of light that had turned into a human being nestled skillfully in his arms. There was a hint of indulgent gentleness and helplessness in his eyes, and he pulled the person closer to his arms: "You give the core particles toPu Ying?"

Yu Tang nodded.

This is where all stories begin.

Particle-level civilization has the inherent ability to devour and decompose. After too many conscious bodies lost in the electronic storm were completely annihilated, the electronic storm itself developed self-awareness.

The electronic storm that had just gained self-awareness generously distributed its core particles to the human being who was about to be annihilated and dissipated, and then sent that human being out of the storm.

At that time, Wen Er had already obtained preliminary research results, which could improve the Ministry of Science's person tracing and identification system based on the frequency of human residual electronic pulses. There was only one paper left to completely solidify this conclusion and allow him to directly enter science.Research institute directly under the ministry.

It was also because of this research result that Pu Ying was found as soon as he came out.

"In order for Wen You to continue his research, hiding Pu Ying is the most appropriate choice."

Yu Tang said: "Where is the best place to hide? The least likely place to be found?"

"Why is the Sui family asked to fund an orphanage? Why does this orphanage deserve special mention from the alliance headquarters? Why do you say that the children in this orphanage are selected?"

"The only possibility I can think of is that this is not an orphanage at all."

Yu Tang said: "This is a prison."

The system was stunned, floating in the sea of consciousness.

"They have hidden all the people and data that need to be 'disappeared' but cannot be completely 'disappeared'."

Yu Tang: "The director of the Secret Service never expected that after he made things so difficult for these children, he would actually get a perfect score on the test paper."

Yu Tang asked: "Senior Zhan, can you still get full marks on your high-level math answers?"

"..." Zhan Chen was dumbfounded: "I can't, but the data can."

After all, he is data now. No matter how difficult the high-mathematical questions are, as long as he imports them into the calculation, he can always get the correct answer.

Yu Tang nodded.

He still couldn't bear to get out of the warmth of Zhan Chen's body, and simply didn't look back. He wrote and drew on Zhan Chen through the fabric of his shirt: "Feng Qing is the eleventh person in the orphanage. These ten tables, is Feng Qing’s perspective.”

His assessment began when Feng Qing was adopted at the age of seven. Regarding the specific situation in the orphanage, he could only speculate logically.

"I noticed it when the tables and chairs first appeared," Yu Tang said. "They were not placed completely neatly, but at a certain perspective..."

The system couldn't help but whisper curiously: "Host, do you know clairvoyance?"

Yu Tang: "..."

Little Blue Card and Little Red Card jumped up, took turns tapping the system's camera, and skillfully dragged the system into the sack.

"I understand." Zhan Chen suppressed his smile and said warmly, "This is the last viewing angle on the right side... There should have been eleven tables here, and Feng Qing is sitting at the very back on the right side."

Yu Tang coughed twice and high-fived the two cards in the sea of consciousness.

The system corrected its mistakes when it knew it was wrong, and honestly flashed a small red light and took out half a speaker from the sack: "Host, host, is Pu Ying also one of Feng Qing's ten younger brothers and sisters?"

"No." Yu Tang said, "Pu Ying has only been here for a short time and is older than Feng Qing. He is not among the ten people - he is at the twelfth table."

"These kids are exclusive."

"They played tricks on Pu Ying and hid Pu Ying's desk and test papers, pretending that no one could see them... They should be taught a lesson one by one by Feng Qing."

Yu Tang: "In the end, Pu Ying should have finished answering this paper."

The system searched the hall carefully, but was still confused: "Host, there is no other table..."

"Yes." Yu Tang said, "It's right here."

The system was stunned.

Yu Tang moved from Zhan Chen's arms and touched the inside of the invigilator table twice with his backhand, and sure enough he touched a blank test paper.

"The invigilator won't be here to watch them all the time. Why would he put an invigilation table on purpose?"

Yu Tang said: "There is only one possibility, this table belongs to Pu Ying."

The original intention of the game world is to leave ten people behind and never leave. If Zhan Chen had not taken the NPC job at the beginning and given him the position of invigilator, this table would never have appeared.

As long as they can find Pu Ying's location correctly and hand in a perfect answer sheet, they should be able to get through this level safely.

Yu Tang put the paper on the table and was about to jump out of Zhan Chen's arms to let Zhan Chen answer the questions, but was stopped by a warm arm.

Yu Tang was slightly startled and raised his head from Zhan Chen's arms.

"The invigilator won't be watching them all the time."

Zhan Chen looked at him and asked seriously: "Can you keep looking at me?"

Yu Tang was stunned for two seconds, coughed twice, and turned red from the base of his ears to his collar.

Zhan Chen smiled, hugged the invigilator, took out the pencil from the desk, and still held Yu Tang firmly with one hand.

He could guess what Yu Tang saw on the card called Fear.

He made a mistake and left Electronic Storm behind in a self-righteous way. Now that he is back, Yu Tang will never have to drink poison to quench his thirst to see those things again.

"I'm going to start answering the questions." Zhan Chen said softly, "Teacher Xiaoguangtuan, let's start invigilating the exam."
