6. The exam duration is 150 minutes. After the signal indicating the end of the exam is given, the invigilator will collect the candidates' exam papers. Candidates should not leave their seats before the invigilator announces the end of the exam.

There are only six rules, not many.

Xu Ruzhe's intuition told her that this exam was no safer than when she was in the apartment.

The school would send each student their assigned seat number along with a picture of the seat. However, when Xu Ruzhe arrived at his seat, he found that the number did not match the assigned seat.

Did I go to the wrong place?

Xu Ruzhe almost instantly recalled the second half of the first rule: "Before taking your seat, make sure you haven't found the wrong one; otherwise, your exam score will be invalid."

How can we confirm this?

The easiest way to find your location is to look at the seat numbers of the seats nearby.

Xu Ruzhe quickly checked the numbers around her and confirmed that this was her correct seat. Even though the number seemed a bit off, reason told her that since the surrounding numbers were all consecutive, it was impossible for only her seat number to be somewhere else.

With a heart full of unease, Xu Ruzhe still sat in the seat.

It was still time to enter the venue, and the exam hadn't officially started yet, so Xu Ruzhe naturally saw many students taking their seats one after another. There were more indigenous people here than in other places, and most of the seats were already occupied.

Of course, there were also a few empty seats, it's unclear whether the students were late or simply died outside the school.

The calm didn't last long. A small argument broke out, and Xu Ruzhe noticed that several seated students were arguing with the people standing next to them.

"This is my seat, you're sitting in the wrong one!"

"Impossible! My name is clearly written on it!"

"Nonsense, that's my name on it!"

Are you blind?

The argument between the two didn't last long, because the noise attracted the invigilator, and soon several students were taken out of the examination room.

However, some students were taken away while they were standing, and some were taken away while they were sitting.

Strange... Is there any pattern to this?

Xu Ruzhe glanced at the name on his seat and realized that the paper with other people's names and numbers had somehow been replaced with his own information. He quickly realized that the students who had been taken away were probably the "contaminated" people the school had mentioned.

Because they chose the wrong location, the students were directly identified by the school as those who brought in pollution.

After this little incident, the entrance exam began.

After the start signal was given, most candidates lowered their heads and began filling out the exam papers handed out by the invigilators.

There were four exam papers in total. The questions on the first three papers were basically at the level of elementary school to junior high school entrance exams, which were a piece of cake for Xu Ruzhe.

She couldn't help but thank the Kingdom of Kyushu for providing compulsory education, which prevented her from becoming an illiterate person like the suburban immigrants in the AI's mind, someone who knew nothing and could only rely on selling their parents to get in through connections.

No matter how tough life gets, we must not let our children suffer; no matter how poor we are, we must not neglect education.

Completely absorbed in the exam paper, Xu Ruzhe was oblivious to his surroundings as he filled in the answers. Amidst the scratching of pens on paper, he quickly finished two papers.

The questions weren't difficult, but there was a lot of content, and the questions were all over the place. It took Xu Ruzhe quite a bit of brainpower to review all the basic knowledge she had learned.

Xu Ruzhe put down his pen and moved his right wrist slightly, suddenly feeling something was wrong.

It was too quiet around us.

Xu Ruzhe looked around warily, only to find that many seats had become empty, with neat rows of exam papers on the desks, and the people who had been sitting there were gone.

This has nothing to do with me.

After all, he was troubled by things that were more relevant to him.

Suddenly, Xu Ruzhe felt a heavy weight on her shoulders, as if someone was lying on them. However, to avoid being accused of cheating, she didn't dare to turn around to see what it was.

The chosen one can't see it from their first-person perspective, but the viewers in the live stream can see it clearly from their God's-eye view.

A long-haired girl with black hair and black eyes was leaning on Xu Ruzhe's shoulder. Her long, straight hair and bangs should have made her look like an obedient girl, but with that eerie smile, even through the screen, everyone in the live stream could feel the malice emanating from her.

This girl is Xu Ruzhe's artificial intelligence, Ya.

However, it doesn't look quite right now. Perhaps this is the pollution that the school mentioned?

Considering that Xu Ruzhe still had two more chances to be resurrected, the Kyushu Kingdom's think tank did not rashly use the country's only three reminder opportunities on Xu Ruzhe at this time. Instead, they suppressed their inner fears and continued to look ahead.

Although the second dungeon has more rules than the first, it offers an extra chance to revive and make mistakes, so the difficulty doesn't increase too drastically.

The strange artificial intelligence, after discovering that Xu Ruzhe had put down his pen, still did not turn around to look at him. It clearly pouted to express its dissatisfaction, while climbing further onto his shoulder and then leaning its whole body down.

Her jet-black, smooth hair fell onto Xu Ruzhe's exam paper, making it impossible for her to avoid his presence as she kept her head down.

The strands of hair not only landed on Xu Ruzhe's exam paper, but a few even fell onto her arm. Even without looking up, Xu Ruzhe could imagine that there was something above her that would fill her with fear upon seeing it, and might even make her scream in terror.

2. Candidates must remain quiet in the examination room.
