•The Last Supper

The rooster hanging from the door once again turned its neck and looked out the window while crying out.

Three invigilators walked over through the snowstorm. A chill rushed through the cabin as soon as the door opened.

Familiar scenery. Familiar people.

The faces of the old, weak and sick people in the room had all stiffened.

154's face was even more stiff: "We've received another violation notice."

He pulled out a note and said: "The notice said that an examinee"

"A cute and obedient examinee who will never learn to behave." Qin Jiu added teasingly while taking off his gloves.

154 looked at him incredulously.

"Got a problem?" Qin Jiu raised his eyebrow.

154: "........No."

He was wondering how blind he must be to see "cute and obedient" on You Huo.

But the one who spoke was his boss. Only he had the authority to bullshit.

You Huo stood against the wall with his arms folded as he looked coldly at Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu looked at him with a hint of a smile at his lips. With the warm glow from the fire stove between them, he nodded back in greeting.

That act was very gentlemanly yet his expression was filled with jest.

154 was afraid that a certain invigilator and a certain examinee would start a bloody battle right then and there, so he quickly said with a stern expression:

"---A certain examinee violated the examination rules causing the questions main subject---"

922: "That is, the hunter."

154: "......to die on the spot. Situations like this are rather rare-"

922: "Unheard of."

154: ".......We need to do a thorough investigation. I hope all of you can give us an explanation."

922: "This mainly refers to a certain examinee."

154 closed his eyes.

His boss was constantly instigating hatred while his colleague had something wrong with his brain.

He calmed himself down and then expressionlessly stored away the note. He said to everyone: "Where is Hunter A?"

The examinees in the room parted like the sea to reveal the long dining table and the large pile of cloth lying next to it.

The invigilator moved closer to examine it only to see that it wasn't cloth but a long, black coat. The coat was old and frayed and the edges of it was trimmed with black bear fur. It exuded a foul odour.

Hunter A who had fallen was facing down and was covered by the coat.

Using the professional ethics of an invigilator, 922 turned the Hunter A's body over.

Whilst Hunter A was still alive, his face was already very pale and after he had died, it had turned a little more gray. With his face turned to one side and his eyes widened, he still maintained a terrified expression. His mouth was like a cracked open hole and his lips were bright red.

922 sternly took a step back and, whilst no one was watching, he rubbed his hand on 154's coat.

154: "..........."

He restrained the urge to roll his eyes and bent down to examine the body.

Hunter A's thick fingers were still holding the bottom of the wine glass. The rest of the glass had already shattered and were scattered across the ground.
