•The Last Supper

When You Huo came out of the confinement room, the corridor was completely silent.

The room opposite his containing the bald man had no noise. There was only blood flowing out from the room.

He frowned slightly in disgust and walked around the blood stains.

After for a short time, he suddenly stopped his steps.

There was a strange feeling of being watched from the shadows. Like something was looking down at him. Like a pair of lifeless eyes staring at him quietly.

You Huo looked up.

Above him was a white ceiling. Apart from a dim light, there wasn't anything else.

"Oh fuck! I almost slept past the punishment time. That damned deadpanned face didn't" Someone rushed down from upstairs and when he turned the corner, he quickly stepped onto his brakes.

"You! Cough, you're out?"

You Huo retracted his gaze from the ceiling.

The person who came was invigilator 922.

He looked at You Huo and immediately changed back into his official tone. He said a quick, "Excuse me" and stroke quickly down the corridor before opening the bloodstained door.

After a moment, the bald man was taken out.

922 carried the limp middle-aged man and walked with difficulty.

"Why are you still here?" He asked.

You Huo stuffed his hand in his pocket and said lazily: "Waiting for you. I have no interest in turning into smithereens."

922: "Where's 154?"

You Huo: "Don't know."

"Where did that damned bastard slack off to?"

922 muttered lowly.

He readjusted the bald man and didn't have the energy to complain. He tilted his head in the direction of the door and said: "Let's go, I'll take you back to the examination centre."

Small western building, second floor.

Qin Jiu crossed his arms and leaned lazily against the window. His eyes looked down.

The light from the room projected out into the woods as he watched 992 take the two examinees into the snowstorm.

Qin Jiu narrowed his eyes and seemed to be in thought as he looked in the distance.

The back bird suddenly let out a hoarse cry.

After a moment, Qin Jiu finally grunted and stood up.

He walked over to the desk and played with the black bird's beak. While feeding it some grains, he said: "Don't you think something is missing?"

The black bird hoarsely cried out: "Ah."

Qin Ji: "An invigilator?"

Black bird: "Ah."

Qin Jiu knocked on the bird's beak and then moved to go downstairs.

Before he took more than two steps, the black bird flapped its wings and followed.

He looked around the hall and turned down into the corridor. He could faintly hear the sound of a chair moving in one of the confinement rooms. It was the room You Huo was confined in earlier.

Qin Jiu raised his eyebrow. He knocked on the door three times: "Anyone here?"

The chair inside clattered a few times.
