There were less than twenty minutes left before the end of the exam. Everyone frowned as they looked at Chen Ying's rearranged body parts.
Mo Shouchen thought to himself: Even professional translators like me can't figure it out, and it's even less possible for me, an English idiot, to come up with the answer.
Thinking like this, his eyes began to wander around the classroom and fixed on the examiner who was reading a book. The words the examiner said when he announced the test questions came to his mind again.
etc!
Mo Shouchen raised his eyebrows, and he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the examiner's wording when he read the test questions.
The carvings on the body parts were clearly English letters, and this was also an English test, but the examiner was talking about "marks carved on the body parts."
Why didn't he just say "letter" instead of "sign"?
Are not all the letters carved on the corpses?
【O,O,T,T,F,F,S,S,E,N,?,E】
Mo Shouchen's eyes scanned the corpses on the ground again, and he discovered that among the marks on the corpses, the only one that might not be an English letter was "O".
"Do you think those two 'O's are zero?" Mo Shouchen casually expressed his speculation.
"It's said to be an English test, how could there be numbers? Don't add to the confusion!"
The man with glasses did not dare to provoke Chen Ying, so he could only vent his anger on Mo Shouchen.
"zero……"
Li Xinze made a long note, then clapped her hands and said, "I know, these letters are all numbers!"
The man with glasses just said that "O" cannot be a number, but Li Xinze directly said that all letters are numbers, which really caught him off guard.
Seeing everyone looking at him with doubts, Li Xinze quickly explained: "These are the first letters of numbers, from zero to eleven."
"The first letter of One is 'O', the first letter of Two and Three is 'T', the first letter of Four and Five is 'F', and the first letter of Six and Seven is 'S'."
"The first letter of Eight is 'E', the first letter of Nine is 'N', and the first letter of Eleven is 'E', so the position of the question mark happens to be the first letter of Ten, 'T'!"
Hearing what Li Xinze said, everyone else showed expressions of realization, but the man with glasses retorted harshly:
"You said these are the first letters from zero to eleven, but shouldn't the first letter of zero be 'Z'? But the first letter is 'O'. How do you explain this?"
Li Xinze explained patiently: "The English word for zero is indeed 'Zero', but when reading the number, in order to avoid confusion, foreign countries often use the letter 'O' to replace Zero, so there is no problem in writing it this way."
Li Xinze's explanation was reasonable, so even if he didn't want to, the man with glasses had nothing to say.
Everyone checked again, and after confirming that there was no problem with Li Xinze's inference, she announced the answer to the examiner.
Li Xinze walked to the podium and said to the examiner: "We have arranged the order. There should be the letter 'T' next to the question mark, right?"
Although he was confident about the answer, Li Xinze's voice was still a little shaky when he said the last two words, and his heart couldn't stop beating wildly.
The examiner put down the book in his hand, then looked up at the corpses arranged in a row not far away. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "The answer is correct!"
A shrill bell rang outside the corridor. After the bell ended, the examiner said: "The English test is over. The break is still fifteen minutes. If you want to go to the toilet, you can go now. Everyone, go and get back."
The examiner asked Chen Ying to lead people to dispose of the corpses on the ground, but this time he did not stand aside as a supervisor.
There were black garbage bags at the back of the classroom. After putting the body parts into five garbage bags, the five male participants, including Chen Ying, each walked out of the classroom carrying one bag.
At the door of the classroom, the other three people threw the body parts to the right side of the corridor to lure away the ghost students, but Chen Ying and Mo Shouchen kept carrying the bags containing the body parts.
The two looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that they wanted to go together.
Entering the toilet, Chen Ying and Mo Shouchen placed the bag containing the body parts on the inside of the toilet door, and then everyone washed the blood on their hands and faces in the sink.
After washing, several people walked to the depths of the toilet. Wang Duoyu shook off the water on his hands, then gave Li Xinze a thumbs up and said, "Thankfully you are good at English, otherwise we would be in trouble."
Li Xinze smiled sheepishly and said: "The main reason is that Chen Ying put it in the correct order, and Mo Shouchen reminded me that it might be related to numbers. By the way, wasn't it you who proposed the arrangement from head to toe? So
This is everyone’s credit!”
"Hehe, I also thought of it accidentally!"
Wang Duoyu giggled and touched his head. Judging from his silly look, he was probably interested in Li Xinze.
At this moment, the man with glasses who had followed them into the toilet came over. He said to Chen Ying with a flattering look on his face: "Squad leader, I'm really sorry just now. I also want everyone to pass the exam, so I'm a little anxious. Don't
I’m so surprised!”
The man with glasses took the initiative to apologize because he felt that Chen Ying's small team was very strong, and Chen Ying was appointed as monitor by the examiner.
In order to survive, he thought it would be better not to make the relationship too tense.
But after he apologized, Chen Ying seemed not to have heard him and ignored him completely, which made him smile awkwardly, then walked to the sink and washed his hands to relieve the embarrassment.
While washing his hands, the man with glasses cursed unconvinced in his heart: "I'm apologizing to you just to give you face. I'm just pretending. Anyway, we all answer questions together in the exam, how can you leave me?"
As he spoke, he glanced inside with his peripheral vision. At this time, he found that Chen Ying's eyes seemed to be attracted by something. But when Chen Ying noticed that he was looking this way, he quickly looked away.
The man with glasses felt that Chen Ying must have discovered something important, and he didn't want him to know.
Is it related to the additional questions?
The man with glasses was overjoyed. Previously, only Chen Ying, Mo Shouchen and Jiao Ningmeng got extra points in the class.
Although I still don’t know what the extra points can do, it’s impossible for the examiner to come up with extra questions for no reason, so this thing will definitely be of great use later.
It was almost time to rest. Chen Ying led the others outside, but the man with glasses walked towards the toilet.
Mo Shouchen kindly reminded: "Just now the examiner said to go back quickly, we'd better go back as soon as possible!"
The man with glasses said with contempt in his heart: Are you afraid that if I see the answer to the additional question, you want to trick me into going back with you? You really think I'm stupid!
However, he said: "I'm going to the toilet first. I'll be quick. You guys can go first."
After saying that, he continued to walk towards the toilet...
