Don\u2019t you see the hotel here?\u201d<br><br>The battered minibus really had stopped in front of a hotel.<br><br>The hotel had the most generic budget-hotel decoration style imaginable, sitting on the corner of the street.<br><br>Deserted.<br><br>\u2026Actually, not just the hotel.<br><br>The whole street was deserted.<br><br>\u201cRest Areas can change?\u201d everyone asked in shock.<br><br>\u201cWhat about the little inn? Boss Chu? We finally got somewhat familiar with her.\u201d<br><br>\u201cBoss Chu? Chu Yue?\u201d Maybe it was the lighting, but the driver\u2019s dark face actually reddened a little. Very quickly, however, his expression dimmed again.<br><br>\u201cYou met her? She\u2019s still at that inn Rest Area, right? There are five Rest Areas total in the country. They rotate often.\u201d<br><br>You Huo asked sharply, \u201cIn the country? So there are overseas exams too?\u201d<br><br>The driver pressed his lips together.<br><br>He clearly didn\u2019t want to explain, but perhaps because Chu Yue had been mentioned, he finally spoke.<br><br>\u201cOf course there are.\u201d<br><br>\u201cAren\u2019t you standing next to a foreigner?\u201d<br><br>\u201cAnd besides, if there\u2019s a foreign language subject, naturally there are foreign exam sites too.\u201d<br><br>The people who had just survived a foreign language exam silently stared at him.<br><br>Driver: \u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<br><br>\u201cYou lot just had unusually bad luck,\u201d he added.<br><br>\u2026<br><br>You Huo swept his gaze around.<br><br>The high-rises were brightly lit, as though full of residents.<br><br>\u201cCan Rest Areas be chosen?\u201d he asked.<br><br>\u201cUsually random.\u201d the driver said. \u201cEach of the five places has its own special advantage\u2014\u201d<br><br>You Huo remembered the previous Rest Area and reluctantly came up with a characteristic.<br><br>\u201cEspecially shabby?\u201d<br><br>Driver: \u201c\u2026\u2026Chu Yue\u2019s place is a little\u2014\u201d<br><br>You Huo stared at him.<br><br>Driver: \u201c\u2026\u2026especially shabby.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThat Rest Area might genuinely be the only one with no advantages,\u201d the driver muttered with a frown. \u201cOtherwise they wouldn\u2019t have punished her by sending her there\u2026\u201d<br><br>\u201cBut the others have benefits.\u201d<br><br>\u201cRest Area 1 is Chu Yue\u2019s place.\u201d<br><br>\u201cRest Area 2 is like a military base. Tons of weapons. Anything you can think of\u2014and things you can\u2019t. For certain examinees, it\u2019s basically heaven.\u201d<br><br>\u201cRest Area 3\u2019s landmark is a casino. Lucky people can try their hand there. Maybe they\u2019ll get a guaranteed-passing card.\u201d<br><br>\u201cRest Area 4 has lots of food and entertainment. Stay there a few days and you can temporarily forget exam nonsense.\u201d<br><br>\u201cAnd 5 is here.\u201d<br><br>You Huo frowned, suddenly feeling a terrible premonition.<br><br>\u201cWhat\u2019s the advantage here?\u201d<br><br>The driver replied:<br><br>\u201cThe supermarket is cheaper.\u201d<br><br>Everyone: \u201cHow cheap?\u201d<br><br>\u201cTen to fifty percent off.\u201d<br><br>\u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<br><br>Chen Bin couldn\u2019t help saying:<br><br>\u201cHonestly, at this point I can\u2019t afford to lose even 0.1 points.\u201d<br><br>\u201cSame for most examinees,\u201d the driver replied. \u201cSo getting assigned here usually means bad luck\u2026\u201d<br><br>Lucky bastard You Huo turned around and left immediately.<br><br>\u2026<br><br>Regardless, Rest Area 5 was still somewhat better than the previous one.<br><br>They didn\u2019t want to describe it as \u201cprosperous.\u201d<br><br>That sounded sarcastic.<br><br>At the very least, security at the hotel was stricter.<br><br>An automatic scanner had been installed beside the glass entrance doors.<br><br>A red beam swept over examinees as they entered.<br><br>Following the principle of \u201celderly, weak, sick, and injured first,\u201d You Huo leaned against the doorway.<br><br>Only after everyone else had entered did he casually follow at the back.<br><br>The moment one foot crossed the threshold\u2014<br><br>the alarm sounded.<br><br>The hotel receptionist shot to her feet, stretching her neck forward.<br><br>\u201cWhat did you bring in?\u201d<br><br>You Huo stopped mid-step.<br><br>\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<br><br>The others were equally confused. Worried something had happened to You Huo, they all glared at the receptionist warily.<br><br>The receptionist beckoned toward You Huo.<br><br>\u201cCould you come over for a moment? I need to inspect something.\u201d<br><br>You Huo tossed his black backpack onto the counter, pulled open the zipper, and lifted his eyelids lazily.<br><br>\u201cWhat\u2019re you checking? Go ahead.\u201d<br><br>That face at close range had quite an impact.<br><br>The girl blushed from neck to ears and hurriedly explained:<br><br>\u201cUh\u2026 you can check yourself too.\u201d<br><br>\u201cTry thinking about whether you accidentally brought anything back from the exam site.\u201d<br><br>Everyone looked baffled.<br><br>Yu Wen said:<br><br>\u201cNo way, right? There wasn\u2019t a single normal thing in that cursed exam hall. Who the hell would bring something back? It\u2019s not like it\u2019s a local souvenir.\u201d<br><br>The receptionist burst out laughing.<br><br>\u201cWell, sometimes things try sneaking out with examinees. It\u2019s happened before. Almost caused deaths in the Rest Area.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThat\u2019s why inspections started. More of a warning than anything.\u201d<br><br>Everyone mentally noted that the previous Rest Area hadn\u2019t checked.<br><br>But since the alarm had gone off, they couldn\u2019t really argue. So no one gave the receptionist trouble.<br><br>Seeing how cooperative they were, the girl blushed again and added to You Huo:<br><br>\u201cI know you definitely didn\u2019t do it on purpose. No normal person would. So it\u2019s best to look carefully and see if anything dangerous secretly\u2014\u201d<br><br>Before she finished speaking, You Huo had already pulled something from the side pocket of his bag.<br><br>\u201cThis?\u201d<br><br>\u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<br><br>The receptionist couldn\u2019t even continue saying \u201csecretly.\u201d<br><br>The speed at which he produced the item clearly proved he himself had put it there.<br><br>You Huo glanced at Yu Wen.<br><br>Yu Wen instantly wilted.<br><br>Absolutely unbelievable.<br><br>Half a minute earlier he had mocked his brother for having brain damage.<br><br>\u201cBro\u2026 h-how did you casually steal one of the Black Hag\u2019s dolls?\u201d he muttered weakly.<br><br>You Huo replied:<br><br>\u201cBy accident.\u201d<br><br>Yu Wen: \u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<br><br>What kind of broken accident was that?<br><br>\u2026<br><br>The item in You Huo\u2019s hand was indeed one of the Black Hag\u2019s dolls.<br><br>Not one he himself had sewn.<br><br>It was the original doll placed on the bottom shelf of the rack\u2014the one with the wind-bell flower pattern on its leg.<br><br>Everyone had been traumatized by dolls after days of torture.<br><br>People like Yu Yao and Chen Bin turned pale instantly.<br><br>Who the hell expected the big boss to go sightseeing through the exam hall and bring back a souvenir?<br><br>You Huo asked the receptionist again:<br><br>\u201cAgainst regulations?\u201d<br><br>\u201cMostly we\u2019re just worried about examinees being endangered in the Rest Area,\u201d she replied. \u201cIf you really want to keep it, that\u2019s fine too.\u201d<br><br>So You Huo simply pocketed the doll again.<br><br>Receptionist: \u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<br><br>Fine then.<br><br>Amazing.<br><br>The girl stopped blushing entirely and hammered rapidly on her keyboard.<br><br>Soon she handed everyone a stack of cards.<br><br>\u201cThis Rest Area period lasts five days. Your room number is on the card.\u201d<br><br>\u201cPlease don\u2019t enter the wrong room and disturb other examinees recovering.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThe top floor is the restaurant. Open 24 hours.\u201d<br><br>\u201cOther daily necessities or exam tools can be purchased at the shops.\u201d<br><br>\u201cAlso, on the final day of your rest period, the department store offers the biggest discounts from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., so don\u2019t miss it if you need anything.\u201d<br><br>You Huo flipped his card over.<br><br>As expected, the format was exactly the same as the previous inn\u2019s room card.<br><br>Name: You Huo<br>Examinee ID: 860451-10062231-000A<br>Subjects Passed: Physics, Foreign Language (2\/5)<br>Total Score: 27<br><br>Yu Wen scratched his head beside him.<br><br>\u201cThis scoring system\u2019s messed up. Obviously you contributed the most points, but everyone ends up with the same score.\u201d<br><br>And because You Huo had spent points buying things before, despite surviving the same two exams, he actually had the lowest remaining balance.<br><br>\u201cWhatever.\u201d You Huo stuffed the card into his pocket without another glance.<br><br>Chen Bin suddenly added:<br><br>\u201cNot every exam scores like this.\u201d<br><br>\u201cAt least one out of every five exams uses individual scoring. Whoever earns the points keeps them.\u201d<br><br>Yu Wen blinked.<br><br>\u201cAnd how much did you get?\u201d<br><br>Chen Bin looked utterly depressed.<br><br>\u201cThree.\u201d<br><br>The entire group was horrified into silence.<br><br>No one spoke again until they entered the elevator.<br><br>\u2026<br><br>Their rooms happened to be directly beneath the restaurant floor, which was convenient.<br><br>As everyone searched for their rooms with their keycards, Old Yu suddenly frowned.<br><br>\u201cWait, something\u2019s wrong.\u201d<br><br>\u201cWhat?\u201d<br><br>\u201cThe dolls were all delivered to villagers. If you brought one back, doesn\u2019t that mean one villager never received theirs?\u201d<br><br>\u201cThen why did we get full marks for that question?\u201d<br><br>You Huo answered:<br><br>\u201cThere was one extra.\u201d<br><br>\u201cHuh?\u201d<br><br>Holding up the doll, You Huo said:<br><br>\u201cThis one doesn\u2019t match any villager.\u201d<br><br>Everyone paused and finally noticed the flower pattern on the doll\u2019s leg.<br><br>\u201cWhen we analyzed the dolls before, this wasn\u2019t there,\u201d Yu Wen said. \u201cIf there\u2019d been a pattern this obvious, we definitely would\u2019ve noticed.\u201d<br><br>\u201cI never included this one.\u201d You Huo replied.<br><br>\u201cSo\u2026 the Black Hag gave it too?\u201d Yu Wen asked.<br><br>\u201cMm.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThat\u2019s weird.\u201d Yu Wen muttered.<br><br>\u201cThere were eighteen households. Nineteen people total counting the village chief\u2019s daughter.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThe Black Hag gave us twenty dolls? She can\u2019t count? Or was she trying to confuse us?\u201d<br><br>You Huo rubbed the doll\u2019s leg thoughtfully.<br><br>\u201cOr maybe there was one person we missed.\u201d<br><br>The instant those words left his mouth, everyone stopped walking.<br><br>What did he mean by \u201cmissed\u201d?<br><br>They\u2019d delivered dolls to every villager.<br><br>No households were missing.<br><br>And the exam itself had confirmed full marks.<br><br>So who else could possibly have been left out?<br><br>Everyone thought for two seconds.<br><br>Then their faces turned green.<br><br>Of course there was someone else.<br><br>The examinees themselves.<br><br>Yu Wen nearly pissed himself.<br><br>\u201cBro\u2026 don\u2019t tell ghost stories in the middle of the night.\u201d<br><br>Shaken badly, everyone subconsciously glanced at each other.<br><br>As if any one of them might secretly be a ghost.<br><br>Then they realized\u2014<br><br>You Huo was staring at someone standing to the right.<br><br>Yu Yao.<br><br>She had just found her room and swiped the card open.<br><br>The hotel heating was warm, so she had removed Mike\u2019s oversized coat.<br><br>That naturally exposed the tears in her clothing.<br><br>Her shoulder seam was ripped open.<br><br>Her pant leg was torn as well.<br><br>Her pale ankle showed beneath the fabric.<br><br>And on the side of that ankle was a wind-bell flower tattoo.<br><br>Exactly identical to the one on the doll\u2019s leg.<br><br>The hallway lighting illuminated it perfectly.<br><br>Yu Yao froze in place, face deathly pale.<br><br>Everyone else looked even paler.<br><br>\u201c\u2026Sis?\u201d Yu Wen\u2019s voice shook violently.<br><br>\u201cW-what\u2019s going on with you?\u201d<br><br>Yu Yao lowered her eyes.<br><br>Even her shoulders trembled.<br><br>After a long while, she finally looked toward You Huo, eyes red as though she\u2019d been crying.<br><br>\u201c\u2026When did you realize?\u201d<br><br>Even now, her voice remained gentle.<br><br>You Huo\u2019s expression hadn\u2019t changed either. He still looked as lazy and sleepy as usual.<br><br>\u201cSuspected it during the previous exam,\u201d he said. \u201cConfirmed it just now.\u201d<br><br>Yu Wen looked utterly horrified.<br><br>\u201cThe previous exam? What happened in the previous exam?\u201d<br><br>You Huo said:<br><br>\u201cThe question said thirteen people were dining. Count carefully how many there actually were.\u201d<br><br>Yu Wen counted silently on his fingers.<br><br>\u201cThirteen!\u201d<br><br>Then he abruptly froze.<br><br>\u201cWait\u2026 no.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThere were thirteen examinees, but Hunter A was dining too.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThat makes fourteen\u2026\u201d<br><br>\u201cOne of them\u2026 wasn\u2019t counted as human?\u201d<br><br>Everyone slowly turned toward Yu Yao, their faces shifting from pale to green.<br><br>\u201cSis\u2026 what exactly are you?\u201d<br><br>Yu Wen originally wanted to ask what kind of thing are you.<br><br>But when the words reached his mouth, the recently-adult boy softened at the last second.<br><br>Yu Yao gripped the doorknob tightly and exhaled softly.<br><br>\u201cCome inside,\u201d she whispered. \u201cI\u2019ll explain. It\u2019s not convenient in the hallway.\u201d<br><br>Who would dare enter?<br><br>Everyone hesitated.<br><br>But You Huo nodded first.<br><br>\u2026<br><br>Soon afterward, everyone sat gathered inside Yu Yao\u2019s room.<br><br>Yu Yao stared at the doll for a very long time before finally speaking.<br><br>\u201cWhen I said before this was my first exam\u2026\u201d<br><br>\u201cI lied.\u201d<br><br>\u201cI really was an examinee. But that was years ago.\u201d<br><br>\u201cAnd unfortunately, my very first exam was the same one we just finished.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThe Gypsy language exam.\u201d<br><br>\u201cWith\u2026 Zhao Wentu\u2019s group.\u201d<br><br>\u2026<br><br>She knew a little Gypsy language and had translated simple things for her teammates.<br><br>Eventually, she became the \u201cgirl\u201d who repeatedly appeared throughout Zhao Wentu\u2019s diary.<br><br>At the time, however, she never knew such a diary existed.<br><br>\u2026<br><br>After Zhao Wentu disappeared, only two examinees remained.<br><br>Yu Yao.<br><br>And a middle-aged man.<br><br>That night, the ghost hands came as expected.<br><br>Originally they were targeting the middle-aged man.<br><br>But in desperation, the man grabbed Yu Yao and shoved her forward into the blades.<br><br>\u201cI still remember him screaming, \u2018Cut her instead! Not me! Please!\u2019\u201d<br><br>\u201cThe ghost hands didn\u2019t strike accurately. They chopped several times.\u201d<br><br>\u201cIt probably\u2026 looked awful.\u201d<br><br>Yu Yao curled deeper into her chair as she sank into the memory.<br><br>Everyone listening felt sick.<br><br>\u201cThen you\u2026\u201d<br><br>\u201cThen I should\u2019ve ended up like the other examinees,\u201d Yu Yao said softly.<br><br>\u201cBuried in the forest. Or turned into a villager, right?\u201d<br><br>\u201cI thought so too.\u201d<br><br>\u201cBut maybe I got lucky.\u201d<br><br>She cried for Zhao Wentu an entire day.<br><br>Eventually she even entered the forest herself, trying to locate traces of his blood to see where he had been dragged.<br><br>At the very least\u2026<br><br>she wanted to build him a grave.<br><br>But after searching until nightfall, she found no trace of Zhao Wentu.<br><br>Instead, she found a card.<br><br>\u201cWhat card?\u201d You Huo asked.<br><br>\u201cThe same kind the invigilator made you draw,\u201d Yu Yao said.<br><br>\u201cI don\u2019t know why one had fallen in the forest.\u201d<br><br>\u201cWhat did it say?\u201d<br><br>\u201cRetake once.\u201d<br><br>\u201cAfter I got\u2026 chopped up, the card activated.\u201d<br><br>\u201cBut because I picked it up instead of earning it properly, the effect only activated halfway.\u201d<br><br>Everyone asked blankly:<br><br>\u201cHalfway? What does that mean?\u201d<br><br>\u201cIt means I didn\u2019t become a ghost hand or a villager like the others.\u201d<br><br>\u201cBut I also didn\u2019t truly revive and restart the exam.\u201d<br><br>\u201cI floated in the village river.\u201d<br><br>\u201cAnd the Black Hag picked me up.\u201d<br><br>You Huo suddenly remembered something.<br><br>The village chief had once said the Black Hag specialized in dealing with the dead.<br><br>And that she had once dragged a girl from the river home inside a bamboo basket.<br><br>\u201cI was clearly an examinee,\u201d Yu Yao continued quietly.<br><br>\u201cBut somehow I became part of the exam hall itself.\u201d<br><br>The Black Hag had used her witchcraft on Yu Yao.<br><br>And somehow\u2026<br><br>it worked.<br><br>She used the hair of her dead daughter to sew a doll identical to Yu Yao.<br><br>And afterward, Yu Yao revived much like the villagers had.<br><br>\u201cWhen I woke up, I was already like this. Pregnant.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThe Black Hag said she hid her daughter inside me.\u201d<br><br>Everyone\u2019s scalp crawled.<br><br>Then they realized something else.<br><br>\u201cYou can understand the Black Hag\u2019s language?\u201d<br><br>\u201cWhen I was part of the exam hall, yes.\u201d<br><br>\u201cBut after I left, I lost the ability. Even the Gypsy language I originally knew disappeared completely.\u201d<br><br>\u201cLeave?\u201d You Huo asked. \u201cThe driver said he\u2019d never picked anyone up.\u201d<br><br>Yu Yao smiled bitterly.<br><br>\u201cDo I count as human? I don\u2019t even know.\u201d<br><br>She was like an accidental bug.<br><br>Something caught between examinee and NPC.<br><br>She didn\u2019t leave the exam hall aboard the intercity bus either.<br><br>She simply walked.<br><br>For a very long time.<br><br>Passing through countless places before eventually, by sheer coincidence, following another group of examinees into a different exam.<br><br>Perhaps the System deliberately ignored her.<br><br>Or perhaps something else interfered.<br><br>Her memory worsened over time.<br><br>She forgot many things from before the exams.<br><br>She only vaguely remembered that some people had harmed her\u2014<br><br>while others had protected her.<br><br>\u201cAt first I didn\u2019t know what to do,\u201d Yu Yao said.<br><br>\u201cSo occasionally I\u2019d help examinees a little.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThen during one exam, I met the man who pushed me.\u201d<br><br>Yu Wen immediately exploded:<br><br>\u201cFuck?! He didn\u2019t die?\u201d<br><br>\u201cLater I learned he had an exemption card,\u201d Yu Yao said. \u201cHe got it from the casino.\u201d<br><br>\u201cIn that foreign language exam, he originally wanted to try clearing it normally.\u201d<br><br>\u201cBut once he realized it was too hard, he used the card.\u201d<br><br>Yu Wen grew even angrier.<br><br>\u201cHe had an exemption card and still shoved you in front of the blades?!\u201d<br><br>\u201cWhat happened to him later?\u201d<br><br>\u201cHe was bad at exams,\u201d Yu Yao replied softly.<br><br>\u201cBut he was good at dirty tricks.\u201d<br><br>\u201cAnd strangely lucky when gambling.\u201d<br><br>\u201cLater I heard he won two postponement cards from the casino.\u201d<br><br>\u201cEach card could delay exams up to two years.\u201d<br><br>\u201cHe used both and hid in Rest Areas for four years.\u201d<br><br>\u201cEventually he ran out of postponement cards and had no choice but to resume exams.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThen did you find him?\u201d<br><br>Before Yu Yao could answer, You Huo spoke first.<br><br>\u201cYou found him during the previous exam, didn\u2019t you?\u201d<br><br>Everyone froze.<br><br>After a long silence, Yu Yao nodded gently.<br><br>\u201cWho was it?\u201d<br><br>You Huo answered:<br><br>\u201cThe one who became Hunter A at the end.\u201d<br><br>Everyone went silent.<br><br>Only after a very long time did Yu Yao quietly exhale.<br><br>\u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to apologize to you.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThe System often overlooks me.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThat violation during the previous exam\u2026 I think it overlooked me then too.\u201d<br><br>\u201cYou had ink on you, so the System mistakenly assigned the violation to you.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThat kind of thing happened before.\u201d<br><br>\u201cI\u2019ve been looking for chances to make up for it.\u201d<br><br>You Huo said flatly:<br><br>\u201cNo need.\u201d<br><br>After all, he\u2019d been punished several times already and personally suffered no losses.<br><br>\u201cMore importantly,\u201d You Huo said, \u201cwhy didn\u2019t you acknowledge Zhao Wentu?\u201d<br><br>Yu Yao fell silent for a long time.<br><br>Then she gave a small bitter smile.<br><br>\u201cI\u2019ve already become like this.\u201d<br><br>\u201cMy face changed a little.\u201d<br><br>\u201cMaybe because of the Black Hag\u2019s daughter.
