46 Taboo 7 || Exam 1
"Didn't you hear the bell? You're still standing outside the classroom." A teacher holding a test paper in the corridor shouted, "Really? Students these days are getting worse and worse."
Jing Ning was the first to walk into room 3017. There were two rows of ten seats in total. All the tables and chairs were neatly aligned, obviously arranged for them.
"Why are you still standing there? Do you want me to invite you to take a seat?" The teacher stood on the podium holding the test paper, his face full of impatience.
"Just sit wherever you want." Jing Ning's eyes darkened. "We're not required to sit according to our student numbers."
After saying that, he pulled out the chairs in the first row. Yan Shuang followed closely behind him and sat behind Jing Ning. Jing Ning's tall back completely blocked the view in front of him.
After everyone was seated, the teacher began to distribute the test papers while explaining the test requirements.
After Yan Shuang got the test paper, she spread it out and glanced at it roughly. Well, she had forgotten everything she learned in high school Chinese. Among them, Xu Yaoyu was probably the only one who could remember these knowledge points.
"Begin the exam." After handing out the test papers, the teacher stood back to explain the questions and said as he glanced at the students.
Yan Shuang was about to write furiously when she suddenly realized something no one else had noticed: she had no pen! What the hell was she supposed to be doing?
He looked at Xu Yaoyu who was sitting on his left. Xu Yaoyu spread his hands with a helpless expression.
Well, the only one who could do it can't do it now.
Without a pen, Yan Shuang could only stare at the test paper. She supported her head with her hands and simply sorted out the clues of the game.
Now ghosts appear in the girls' dormitory at night, but the boys' dormitory seems to be temporarily safe, but the game is definitely not so kind.
Yan Shuang thought of the note that contained the ghost. Does that mean that ghosts can come to the boys' dormitory? Or is there a ghost in their boys' dormitory as well, but it just hasn't appeared yet?
Now it seems that one of the two people killed was Zheng Yuxuan, who stayed in the girls' dormitory. Wu Siyao opened the door, but Lin Yue, who saw the ghost first, was fine.
So what's the point of this exam? Everyone must score above 680. Why is the school so concerned with grades? Wu Huimin has repeatedly emphasized that good grades are the most important thing here. Is there no such thing as poor students in this school?
So the central meaning of this game is related to grades and following the rules?
At this time, Jing Ning went straight to hand in the paper and walked out of the examination room under the teacher's incredible look.
Seeing this, the others also handed in their papers. It was a waste of time to just sit there anyway, so they might as well go out and look for clues and leave the game early.
"We have an hour." Lin Haichen looked at his watch and said, "Come back here as soon as possible in an hour to take the next exam."
"Can I not participate? I can't do it anyway." Zhang Fan asked.
"I think it's best to attend. We can't guarantee anything will happen if you miss the exam," Yan Shuang said. "And it's best if you all buy a pen and do all the questions you can. It's obvious that this school takes grades very seriously."
"Yan Shuang is right. Since we don't know the rules yet, we can only try to avoid it." Lin Haichen agreed, "I'd better go upstairs and check the rooms that I didn't check yesterday."
"Let's go too. After we looked at the sixth floor of the classroom building, all the rooms are empty. There are a lot of materials in the archives, so it will take more time to find them." Yan Shuang seemed to be answering Lin Haichen's words, but in fact she was asking for Jing Ning's opinion.
"Okay." Jing Ning replied in a neither clear nor light voice.
"Then let's go and have a look at other places in the school." Tian Yiyi said.
"Okay, time is tight and the task is heavy. Let's form groups of five and take action." Lin Haichen agreed.
Without stopping for long, they ran upstairs, their footsteps echoing throughout the building.
The archive room was messy and cluttered. Yesterday, Lin Haichen and Liu Hui had to climb through the window to get in. Now with Jing Ning, the walking locksmith, their speed has increased significantly.
Liu Hui looked at Jing Ning with envy as he saw him open the door. "This skill is really useful, bro. What do you do for a living?"
"I've been a professional locksmith for thirty years." Jing Ning said nonsense seriously.
"Haha, awesome." Liu Hui didn't mind, his eyes filled with admiration for the strong man.
After Jingning opened five rooms in one go, this room was finally no longer cluttered with messy things.
"It seems that this contains information about every class in the school." Lin Haichen said.
The archive room is filled with shelves. "There are so many, we can't remember them even if we look for them," said Ye Jing'an.
"Start from the year before last, and then find Zhang Bin. Something must have happened the year before last." Lin Haichen quickly identified the target.
The archives were classified by time, and they quickly found the school's archives from previous years.
"One book per person." Lin Haichen said as he took out a few books from the shelf.
The five of them quickly looked through the information from the previous year. "Those in the second and third years of high school have all graduated now, which means that those in the first year of high school back then are now in their third year," said Liu Hui.
After Yan Shuang finished flipping through a few books, she casually pulled out a stack of information from the shelf. When she opened the first page, she saw a group photo with Class 7 of Grade 1 written below it.
"Look, is this a girl named Liu Xin?" Yan Shuang asked, pointing at the girl in the photo.
Jing Ning moved closer to Yan Shuang and saw the photo in his hand.
The photo was taken when he enrolled in school. The background of the photo was when the teaching building had not been demolished. Liu Xin stood in the first row with a bright smile on his young face, and teachers of various subjects stood beside him.
Jing Ning frowned, "There's no other girl in this photo from yesterday."
"Could it be that they are from different classes?" Ye Jing'an said, "After all, there are so many classes in the school, it's normal that they are not assigned to the same class."
"Did any of you see that girl in the high school information?" Jing Ning asked.
Several people shook their heads.
"Could it be that he transferred to the same school as us, so he was not included in the photo?" Yan Shuang said.
"That possibility cannot be ruled out." Jing Ning nodded, and suddenly thought of something and said, "Look for someone from last year."
"Didn't you graduate last year?" Ye Jing'an blurted out without reacting.
Yan Shuang immediately understood what Jing Ning meant and began to search for information. "Are you stupid? What if she didn't graduate?"
"You mean... she failed a grade!" Ye Jing'an said in surprise.
"Found it!" Liu Hui said, holding up the photo. "Class 6, Grade 1."
"Sure enough!" Jing Ning took the photo and said, "Find her and ask her. Maybe we can find out what happened two years ago."
The five of them searched for a while, hoping to see if there were any other clues.
"Where is the teacher's file? Have you seen it?" Lin Haichen said, looking up at Jing Ning.
"It shouldn't be placed together with the students'." Jing Ning said.
Just when they were about to say something, Yan Shuang made a silent gesture. Footsteps could be heard from the end of the corridor. "Someone's coming."
