Chapter 28
Xia Meng felt that this was probably not her own spiritual picture.
Isn’t it said that when people are shaping their mental landscape, they choose the place where they feel most secure?
Then her spiritual picture can be anywhere, but it cannot be the campus.
How can a person who wears a mask of pain whenever he thinks of studying regard this place as his spiritual harbor?
Soon Xia Meng understood——
She stood up, walked to the window, and looked out.
I saw that the place outside the window where the playground should have been had turned into a spacious racing track.
Several racing tracks wind and undulate around several teaching buildings. From time to time, you can hear the roar of racing cars whizzing past the track.
For a moment I couldn't tell whether I was racing or riding a roller coaster.
Outside the racetrack, there are rows of buildings, which surround the school and the racetrack like rolling mountains.
The buildings are bizarrely shaped. At first glance, some appear top-heavy, some appear suspended in mid-air, and some appear to be spinning in place, almost completely defying Newton's law of universal gravitation.
Outside the building complex, there was thick fog.
Amidst the dense fog, a scarlet blood moon hung high in the sky.
The blood-red moonlight shone on the thick fog, staining the background of the surrounding area desolate and eerie, as if writing four big words: trespassers will die.
In broad daylight, the scene was eerie.
But after taking a look around, it can be basically seen that this place seems to be a fusion of the mental images of the three of them: Yang Hao's building complex, Liu Dongwen's racetrack, and the red moon with its own sense of horror, probably from Wen Lan's game map.
After the spiritual images of these three people were merged, the differences between them were magnified in an alternative way.
It melted directly into a weird monster.
It inevitably seems weird and absurd.
Xia Meng muttered to herself, turned around and looked into the classroom again.
At this time, about one-third of the classroom was occupied.
She looked around and didn't recognize anyone.
But if you take a closer look, you'll find that these people look a little familiar.
Xia Meng recalled for a long time and finally remembered.
These people seemed to be students who had been sent to Jingbei Hospital due to food poisoning. They were all ordinary people.
Before coming in, Xia Meng had already looked at the identity information of all the students and the people involved.
Her memory is okay, and she can barely match everyone's face and name.
Where is Li Zhou?
Where are Ou Xu and Su Fangxiao?
Where are they?
Could it be that they didn't even come here?
Also, where is the Master’s wife?
Xia Meng did not forget her primary purpose of coming in, which was to rescue her master's wife.
Right now she was completely in the dark and didn't know anything about the place. The only thing she could do now was to use the dumbest but most direct method - go out and look for people in each classroom.
Thinking of this, she didn't delay any longer and turned around and walked out.
Just as I reached the door, a classmate sitting near the door called out to me, "Xia Meng! Where are you going? The exam is about to start!"
Xia Mengxin said, what does your exam have to do with me?
Sister, I escaped from the sea of suffering eight hundred years ago.
But she still paused.
Wait, he called her Xia Meng?
How did these people know her name?
Xia Meng looked at him suspiciously, then raised her eyes and looked at the students in the classroom.
They all looked at her with disapproval, as if she had committed a heinous crime by leaving the classroom at this time.
What's going on here?
Is it her memory that is confused, or is it their memory that is confused?
She slowly raised her hand and decided to open the door and go out.
At this time, the classmate sitting by the door stood up with a bang, grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
This man was incredibly strong. Xia Meng was caught off guard and was almost knocked off balance by him.
Xia Meng subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away.
I looked up and saw that the classmates around me were also ready to go.
It seemed as if if she dared to resist, they would stand up at any time and join forces to suppress her.
Xia Meng was pushed back to her seat by that classmate.
...What the hell is this place all about?
Could it be that she can only leave after finishing the exam honestly?
...It's not impossible.
She silently picked up the pen in front of her and sighed.
All the high school knowledge points had been given to her teachers the moment she walked out of the college entrance examination hall, without a single bit left.
I hope that the exams here will just require you to take them, without any requirements about whether you meet the standards or pass or fail.
At this time, a "click" sound came from the radio in the corner of the classroom.
Soon, someone started talking on the radio.
Good morning, dear students.
【Today is the second day of exam week. 】
[Today's first exam will begin in 10 minutes. Please be prepared and do not leave your seat.]
As the broadcast sounded, three words were written stroke by stroke on the whiteboard behind the classroom podium - [Exam Week].
Xia Meng held the water-based pen and swept her eyes over all the students in the room again.
The classroom was not full, there were only about a dozen people.
Everyone sat a few seats apart.
[Next, we will announce today's exam subjects.]
On the whiteboard, a dash appeared immediately after the words "Exam Week".
Then he wrote two words neatly.
[Exam week—Physics.]
It’s actually physics.
Xia Meng quickly recalled what she had learned in high school physics.
Mechanics? Electromagnetism? Optics? Thermodynamics? Atomic physics?
Conservation of energy? Conservation of momentum?
Various formulas and theories raced through her mind. Just as she was waiting for someone to come in and hand out the papers, she looked up and saw another line of small words beneath the previous line on the whiteboard.
[Exam content: Racing.]
Xia Meng narrowed her eyes blankly, feeling as if she didn't recognize Chinese characters anymore.
What the hell?
Racing?
Racing? Car???
The third line reads:
[Proctor: Liu Dongwen]
Xia Meng: “…”
Okay, it’s actually a racing car.
Xia Meng rubbed her forehead with a headache.
This is really incredible. She, an adult, was forced to sit in the examination room as a candidate, and Liu Dongwen, a serious candidate, was promoted to invigilator!
This is really the opposite of Tian Gang! How unreasonable!
The broadcast began to remind again:
[The exam will begin in 9 minutes. Students who need to change exam rooms please move as soon as possible.]
【Late arrival will be deemed as giving up the test automatically and will be awarded zero points.】
[After the exam week, the bottom 30 students will be forced to retake the exam and enter the second round of exams.]
As soon as these words were spoken, all the students in the class stood up quickly and rushed to the door.
Xia Meng: “?”
She immediately realized, that's right, racing can't be tested in the classroom, you have to go to the racetrack.
It seems that their class is the one whose examination venue has been changed.
Xia Meng followed the main group out.
As she passed the corridor, she consciously looked at the classrooms next door and found that most of them were empty.
I guess the examination rooms are all outside.
——Why the hell are all the exam rooms outside!?
After leaving the teaching building, we soon arrived at the entrance of the racetrack.
Before Xia Meng arrived, she found that people from one or two other classes were also there.
There were about forty or fifty people in total, filling the entire entrance.
Xia Meng quickly looked around to see if the other three were there.
The three of them were not short. Li Zhou was at least 1.9 meters tall, Ou Xu was a little over 1.8 meters tall, and even Su Fangxiao was almost 1.8 meters tall.
The three of them stand out among the crowd and should be easy to recognize.
As a result, Xia Meng looked around but couldn't find anyone.
I guess I was assigned to another examination room.
What an unfortunate coincidence.
No one showed up.
I have to tell Li Zhou later that it was all in vain that I pulled his hand before coming in, and he has to throw it away anyway.
Xia Meng sighed helplessly.
Return your attention to the exam room.
I saw an electronic screen erected at the entrance of the racetrack, and the same words were written on the screen as on the whiteboard in the classroom.
【Exam Week - Physics】
[Exam content: Racing]
[Proctor: Liu Dongwen]
Xia Meng stood on tiptoe and looked ahead at the crowd.
Since he is the invigilator, Liu Dongwen will definitely be present.
Then things will be easier.
As long as Liu Dongwen is present, she can go directly to the door.
Soon she saw Liu Dongwen.
Liu Dongwen's cool crew cut is really eye-catching.
He was wearing a red and white racing suit, standing on a high place with his arms crossed, looking down at the group of students in school uniforms.
Many students were entering the racetrack past him.
He stared at the group of students and yelled, "Why are you so slow? Hurry up! We're going to be late for the exam!"
Xia Meng: “…”
It turned out that this was the sound she heard before she came in.
Before, she thought that this kid didn't forget to take the exam even when he had food poisoning, which really touched the good Chinese students. Unexpectedly, this kid had already reached the next level in her mental picture, and took the opportunity to act arrogantly here and satisfy his desire to be a teacher.
Little guy.
Xia Meng pushed through the crowd and quietly moved towards him.
The closer you get to him, the faster you can find the door.
But she couldn't just walk up to him, grab his shoulders, and ask directly, "Hey, man, where's your door? Open it and let me take the others out, okay?"
This approach is too rude and offensive.
No owner of a mental image would like an uninvited guest, let alone one who tries to drag others along.
So she had to remain calm.
Without irritating him, secretly look for the location of the "door".
Mental images usually come from the owner's will, consciousness and subconsciousness.
Therefore, many times, as long as you follow the owner's wishes, you will be able to find the door easily.
Now, Liu Dongwen wants them to take an exam.
Okay, let’s take the test.
…
Xia Meng quietly walked through the crowd.
Just as I reached his side, I saw him shouting at someone on the inside of the field: "What are you dawdling for? If you don't start, I'll send you straight to the make-up exam!"
Xia Meng followed his gaze.
On the inside was the starting point of the racetrack, where countless cars were waiting to start.
But the strange thing is that these racing cars are of different models. There are SUVs designed for off-road driving, supercars that are expensive as you can tell by the brand, and standard formula racing cars F1, F3, F3000, etc.
Xia Meng looked carefully and found that there were even a few karts and motorcycles mixed in.
Liu Dongwen was urging the driver of a red GasGas motorcycle, "Hurry up! Hurry up and get going!"
Xia Meng heard a mournful voice coming from under the motorcyclist's helmet: "No! I don't even have a driver's license! I can't drive!!"
Xia Meng blinked in surprise.
Isn’t this Ou Xu!
Finally met a teammate!
Liu Dongwen said with a dark face, "Alright, then get off right here, and you'll get zero points on this test!"
Ou Xu: “…Woo woo.”
He really didn't want to.
But let alone a driver's license, he has never even touched a motorcycle since he was a child. At most, he has some meager experience riding a bicycle.
What bad luck! Who would take a racing test in a high school physics class?!
Xia Meng saw the right opportunity and quickly raised her hand: "I'll do it, I'll do it!!"
Liu Dongwen and Ou Xu looked over at the same time.
Ou Xu was overjoyed: "Sister! Come and save my life!"
Xia Meng made an OK gesture towards him, and at the same time turned to Liu Dongwen and said, "Um... Teacher! I want to take the exam with him! Is that okay?"
Liu Dongwen frowned and stared at her for a long time.
Just when Xia Meng thought she was about to be rejected, Liu Dongwen raised his hand and said, "Okay, go in. Then your test scores will be tied to each other."
This is exactly what she wants!
Liu Dongwen tilted his head towards her and said, "Go over there and get a helmet and put it on."
There was a whole cabinet full of helmets on the cabinet next to it.
Just a helmet?
Are there no other protective measures?
Xia Meng glanced towards Ou Xu and found that Ou Xu and the drivers in several other cars were all fully armed, at least wearing racing suits.
How come she only has the helmet left?
But, that doesn't matter.
Xia Meng made a quick decision and picked out a white helmet and put it on her head, which fit perfectly.
Just as she was about to pull down the windshield, she suddenly realized that she had been wearing a pair of gloves. She looked down and found that her school uniform had been replaced with a racing suit.
Is it so smart?
That’s right, now that we have entered the spiritual realm, shouldn’t we have some special abilities?
Xia Meng walked straight towards Ou Xu.
Ou Xu had already gotten off the motorcycle and was standing beside it a little awkwardly.
Xia Meng walked over.
Ou Xu whispered, "Should we get a new car? They say cars are like iron wrapped in flesh, and motorcycles are like flesh wrapped in iron. For our own safety, should we get a sports car?"
At this time, the vehicles waiting at the starting line were almost full.
Only one go-kart remained.
That thing looks even less reliable than a motorcycle.
Xia Meng was too lazy to choose, so she just lifted her long legs and jumped into the car nimbly.
"It's okay. Let's just leave it at that," she said. "Racing cars have more horsepower and torque, which does give them an advantage in straight-line acceleration, but motorcycles are definitely better in cornering. And when it comes to safety, motorcycles aren't far behind."
Xia Meng gave Ou Xu a reassurance.
Ou Xu sat in the back seat and raised his hand to carefully hold her shoulders.
Xia Meng turned her head away speechlessly: "You put it on my shoulder because you think you won't be able to shake it off later?"
She directly pulled his arm over and wrapped it tightly around her waist. "Don't worry about the difference between men and women at this time, brother. Saving your life is the most important thing."
Ou Xu thought so too.
He is not an antique from the last century. It's just a special case. Besides, she doesn't mind, so why should he mind?
I don’t know why, but Ou Xu vaguely felt a chill on his back.
Ou Xu leaned his head close to Xia Meng's ear and asked, "Have you listened to the exam instructions?"
Xia Meng: "Ah? No, I just arrived."
Ou Xu: "Then let me tell you again? I just heard it before I got on the bus. The assessment criteria sounded weird to me—"
Xia Meng: "Tell me, what's strange about it?"
At this moment, a traffic light bar suddenly lowered from a high place on the starting line.
At this time, the yellow light was on and flashing.
Liu Dongwen walked to the high platform nearby carrying a thick grenade launcher.
The yellow light flashed three times and then turned green. At the same time, Liu Dongwen raised his grenade launcher and fired directly into the sky.
The grenade drew a parabola and suddenly exploded in the air above the starting line, forming a flag with two letters on it: GO.
In an instant, the roar of cars rang out, and all kinds of supercars rushed out with a roar.
Xia Meng's reaction was not slow either.
Although the motorcycle's starting speed is slightly lower, it is more flexible and light.
The motorcycle roared forward briskly.
Xia Meng lowered her body and got as close to the car body as possible.
The streamlined body reduced the drag coefficient to the lowest level, and as she continued to accelerate, she ran faster and faster.
The wind is howling.
Ou Xu whispered quickly in her ear, "Usually, in racing competitions, the time is counted. The one who completes the race the shortest time wins, right?"
If it were in reality, his words would probably be blown away by the wind as soon as they came out of his mouth.
But here, the two are now teammates, and the communication system in the helmet is automatically activated.
The two people's voices were clearly transmitted to each other.
Xia Meng nodded.
That's true.
She: “But what?”
Ou Xu: "But this race is different. It's about whether you can complete the whole race."
Xia Meng tilted her head: "The whole time?"
Isn’t completing the race the minimum requirement for any racing competition?
Are any special markings required?
Ou Xu nodded. "Yes, the whole course. The test tracks are all the same length, and the test is considered complete only after you complete the entire course. If you fail halfway, you must immediately return to the starting point and start over."
I see.
Xia Meng vaguely understood.
"Full process", these two words can indeed explain some problems.
Xia Meng was operating the motorcycle, accelerating continuously and overtaking a car from the inside lane.
She analyzed calmly: "This shows that this test is not about speed, but about avoiding various obstacles -" even other opponents.
Before he could finish his words, a modified SUV in the next lane suddenly slammed into them.
Ou Xu subconsciously wanted to scream: "Be careful——"
Xia Meng's reaction was extreme. She exerted force with both arms and suddenly lifted the front of the car up.
The moment the SUV hit her, she dodged it.
The moment the motorcycle body was lifted high and then landed smoothly, they had already moved from the right side of the SUV to the left side.
Ou Xu was blinded by her dazzling skills.
He broke down and said, "Is this even possible?!"
Xia Meng was originally driving at the edge of the right lane.
The SUV swerved hard to the right and hit the guardrail of the lane.
The car body was instantly tilted and hit the car behind it sideways. In an instant, it hit several cars in the rear like a skewer.
The sounds of horns and car crashes suddenly became a mess.
Xia Meng took the opportunity to accelerate her motorcycle and drove out of the area with frequent traffic accidents in a hurry.
Ou Xu turned his head and watched the motorcycle leave them far behind.
He was a little bit unbelievable.
Ou Xu: "Excuse me, your side job is not racing, right?"
Xia Meng smiled but did not answer.
To be honest, this was her first time touching a racing car.
All her knowledge of racing came from the racing competitions she occasionally watched in the past and the racing games she was dragged into playing by her friends.
However, this truth is not suitable to be told at this moment.
I'm afraid Ou Xu will be scared to death if I tell him.
Xia Meng continued to accelerate.
There are still many vehicles on the track, and many of them are from the previous batch.
The lane continued to wind and undulate, with the amplitude becoming increasingly larger.
Only at this time did Ou Xu finally remember the half-sentence he had said before.
Ou Xu: "Oh, right, there's one last item in the exam rules."
Xia Meng: "Speak."
Ou Xu swallowed hard. "The final note in the exam regulations states that there are over 2,000 obstacles in this exam. Candidates will need to apply their physics knowledge to cope with these obstacles and challenges."
Xia Meng: “…………”
physics.
What the hell.
Is this still an exam?
Why not just apply to be a monkey jumping through fire rings at the circus?
