Chapter 169 The exam is over, I want to report this!
"kill!"
The last word was squeezed out of the throats of thousands of people, hoarse and frantic.
There are less than ten minutes left until the end of the exam.
Everyone tacitly stopped fighting among themselves and cast all their remaining rationality and greed into the cave.
There are 30,000 points in there!
This is a number that could propel anyone to the top in one fell swoop and achieve an overwhelming victory in this crucial test!
However, just as this surging tide was about to reach the cave entrance...
hum-
The darkness receded.
The Shadow Realm that devoured all light and perception.
Under Chen Yifan's will, it quietly subsided.
For the first time, the scene inside the cave was exposed without reservation to three thousand pairs of blood-red eyes.
The candidates at the forefront stood rooted to the spot.
The pupils of everyone.
Everything shrank to the size of a pinhead at that moment.
In the virtual examination room, a person's body will remain briefly after death before the system refreshes.
But the scene before them had long since gone beyond the scope of the word "corpse".
Countless mutilated bodies.
Like discarded, broken dolls, they filled every inch of the passageway.
They are no longer humanoid.
Some were twisted into pretzels in an unimaginably cruel way.
Some heads exploded, and red and white substances covered the entire rock face.
Some of them didn't even die immediately.
They lay in pools of blood and filth, emitting wheezing sounds.
The impact of visuals is far more lethal than any linguistic threat.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the hellish scene before them.
After a long while, they finally turned their gaze to three people who looked like blood-soaked demons not far from the passage.
Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu were covered in blood, and they just stood there.
With his head down, I couldn't see the other person's expression.
Blood dripped from their bodies, mingling with the pool of blood at their feet. Their aura was cold and numb, like two emotionless killing machines.
And in front of them.
Chen Yifan stood there calmly.
He had his back to the three thousand examinees.
They didn't even look back.
It was as if these people were nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing across the hillside.
"Slaughter..."
"This is... torture!"
In the crowd, someone's voice trembled, and their teeth chattered.
No one expected that the cave would be such a hellish place.
More importantly, the figure with its back to them never looked back at them once.
That's not confidence.
It is ignoring it.
An absolute disregard for three thousand people as if they were nothing.
For a moment, the examinees outside the cave were caught in a dilemma.
The allure of 30,000 points continues to erode their reason.
But their feet felt as if they were filled with lead, and they could not move an inch.
After all, being killed will result in the loss of half of the points.
Sometimes, even a single point can be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
……
at the same time.
Other parts of the examination room.
On a mountain ridge, Su Qingxue stood quietly, her figure aloof and cold.
As she looked at the finalized list, a crack appeared in her once confident, icy blue phoenix eyes for the first time.
Chen Yifan, first place.
Lin Xiaoyu and Wang Fugui...
In a similarly miraculous manner, they ascended to the second and third thrones.
Their score was more than ten times that of me, an S-level talent, who had fought for six hours straight.
"This is not a battle..."
Su Qingxue murmured to herself.
I recalled the news I had received not long ago.
Secret recycling point...
Watching the incredible riots that erupted on the leaderboard in the final moments, it was truly a miracle.
A terrifying thought took shape in her mind.
How many people did those three actually kill?
……
Another jungle.
Qin Zheng pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, the lenses concealing the fleeting shock in his eyes.
The team members behind him didn't dare to breathe.
"Captain...is this...is this true? Our entire squad combined doesn't even amount to a fraction of what they make."
"really……"
"It's a trap!"
Qin Zheng uttered a few words indifferently.
The team members were taken aback.
A smile, somewhere between awe and a wry smile, appeared on Qin Zheng's lips.
He turned off the light screen and looked at the final countdown before teleporting away.
"Remember him."
For the first time, Qin Zheng's voice carried an extremely solemn warning.
"If you ever encounter him anywhere in the future, either become his staunchest ally, or... stay as far away from him as possible."
"Absolutely, absolutely...don't become his enemy."
……
Similarly, Wu Xiao, who had orchestrated the target shift in the final ten minutes and was hidden in the shadows outside the cave, slowly emerged.
He licked his dry lips, and for the first time, the predatory glint in his snake-like eyes was completely extinguished.
Instead, there was a deep sense of apprehension.
He had thought he was a hunter lurking in the shadows.
Only now did he realize that in this examination hall, there was someone who understood darkness even better than him, and was even more... insane and cruel.
Wu Xiao shook his head, his figure disappearing back into the shadows.
"Chen Yifan... is interesting."
Time, in the deadly standoff, passed by second by second.
[Map-wide announcement: Sixty seconds remaining until the end of the assessment.]
【59】
【58】
The chilling countdown, like a tolling death knell, echoed in everyone's ears.
It’s over.
It's all over.
No one dared to make a move.
Regret, anger, resentment... all sorts of emotions intertwined.
Ultimately, it all turned into a deep-seated fear of the figure at the cave entrance.
【10】
【9】
……
【3】
【2】
Chen Yifan finally turned his head slowly.
For the first time, his gaze swept over the frightened faces outside the cave.
Then, I laughed.
That smile was clean, gentle, and even carried a hint of youthful shyness.
But it became an indelible nightmare branded deep in the souls of the three thousand survivors.
【1】
[Map-wide announcement: The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) has officially concluded.]
[All candidates will be teleported out of the examination room shortly.]
White light surged up like a tide, engulfing the entire examination hall.
Those three thousand unwilling gazes could only watch helplessly as the smiling boy stood at the entrance to hell.
And in the last tenth of a second before the teleportation beam completely covered the field of vision.
Chen Yifan, Wang Fugui, Lin Xiaoyu.
The three of them exchanged a silent glance.
There was no madness after slaughter in those eyes, only a tacit understanding and calm after a plan had succeeded.
……
Outside the virtual examination room.
From the start of the exam, candidates emerged one after another from the virtual pods and returned to the stadium.
And those who participated in Chen Yifan's "recycling point" incident.
Especially those who were killed in the cave.
Most of them wore expressions of disbelief and numbness, as if they had survived a disaster.
Everyone felt incredibly fortunate.
fortunately……
That's just a virtual world, not reality.
Among the crowd, Zhou Kai's face was ashen.
He couldn't believe it.
In the end, he found himself to be the biggest clown.
"Zhou Kai! Isn't that scumbag Zhou Kai?"
A roar instantly drew everyone's attention.
Dozens of eliminated candidates searched the entire stadium and finally found this bastard in a hidden corner.
"Zhou Kai, didn't you fucking say there was something fishy going on? I followed you, didn't get any points, and got eliminated!"
"Traitor! You're Chen Yifan's shill!"
"It's a shame everyone trusted you so much! Damn it, it's all because of you, otherwise I could have gotten more points!"
"Serves you right! You think you can make it into the top ten? Keep dreaming!"
"Damn it! If we weren't here, I'd knock your teeth out with one punch!"
……
The accusations slapped him across the face like a blow.
Zhou Kai's face turned a deep purplish-red.
Chen Yifan!!!
He looked at those disdainful eyes.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a group of people striding towards the proctoring center, with "Longdu Inspection Team" signs hanging around their necks.
The leader had a hooked nose and sharp eyes.
A wicked thought instantly took hold of his mind.
This matter cannot be left unresolved.
If I'm not having a good time... you shouldn't expect to have one either!
Zhou Kai pushed through the crowd and rushed forward, his voice shrill and stern.
"I want to report this!"
"Chen Yifan from Jiangcheng No. 1 High School! He openly spread rumors in the examination hall, set up a shocking scam, and induced thousands of candidates to kill each other, while he reaped the benefits!"
"This is cheating on the college entrance exam! A major incident! It's a cover-up!"
