Deep in the Living

Chapter 54 Late
The annual entrance examination is here. In Jupiter City, which is mainly populated by immigrants from China, it is more commonly known as the "College Entrance Examination". The city is also one of the cities that attaches the most importance to entrance examinations.

Most parents get up earlier than their children, prepare light and stomach-nourishing food as much as possible, and are prepared to accompany their children all day.

After personally dropping their children off at school, they waited at the school gate.

Similarly, most schools have temporary corridors and wooden houses at the entrance where parents can rest and provide drinking water.

"Mom, I'm leaving."

"Be careful on the road."

Luo Di went to the examination hall alone. After all, his parents were ordinary workers and it was not easy for them to ask for leave. The main reason was that they believed in Luo Di's ability. If they accompanied him throughout the whole process, it would give him unnecessary pressure.

Sitting on the same bus,
Looking at the same scenery along the way,
Came to the same school,

But the group of parents crowded at the school gate immediately broke the peace.
Even someone like Luo Di, who had a calm mind, was more or less infected with a little nervousness when he squeezed past the nervous-looking parents at the school gate.

Suddenly, Rody felt something was about to attack from behind, and his instinct made him turn around and dodge, while simultaneously preparing to counterattack.

A high kick just brushed past Roddy's cheek, and the one who kicked it was Gao Yuxuan.

"You are worthy of being the best in our school. You can even react to such a sneak attack. Let's take the cultural exam this morning. Let me teach you some skills!"

Gao Yuxuan put his hand on Luo Di's shoulder and pretended to be very serious about teaching him martial arts.

A year ago, this kind of shoulder-hugging action would have made him very uncomfortable, but now it allowed Rody to let go of the tension he had just acquired and walked towards the examination room.

【Admission】will be completed within 24 hours a day.
There are cultural exams in the morning, logical reasoning exams in the afternoon, and the most important physical exam in the evening.

In addition, students are allowed to temporarily leave school after the exams of each subject, but they only need to return half an hour before the start of the exam.

The paper test during the day went very smoothly for the four-member team.
All that is left is to give 100% of your strength in the physical exams that you are best at at night, and your final promotion to higher education will be a perfect ending, and these twelve years of hard study and practice will also come to a successful conclusion.

As the logical thinking test in the afternoon ended, most students chose to leave school.

They were not thinking about meeting the parents waiting outside the school, but taking advantage of the break time before the physical examination to complete the intravenous injection outside the school.

This way, the drug's effects can be more directly applied to the body, and the amount can be well controlled within the range allowed by the exam.

Off-campus preparation before the physical examination has become a tradition several years ago.
This also means that there are less than 50 students staying on campus and going to the cafeteria to eat.

On the way to the cafeteria, Luo Di and his companions saw many new facilities that did not belong to the school.
On the top floors of all the buildings on campus, in the playgrounds, in the groves, in the open space behind the cafeteria, and so on, as long as there is enough space, there is a 1×1×3m metal container, and the letter [A] representing the Research Administration is clearly printed on the surface of the container.

There are security guards around the containers and no one is allowed to approach.

Since there are very few people eating in the cafeteria, the way of serving meals has been changed to freshly cooked food.

The monitor ate his food like always, not caring about the exam that would start in two hours. Of course, he was still restrained in his food intake today, as if he had eaten too much, it would have affected his exam.

After dinner,

Everyone collected their plates and brought items related to the physical examination to the table for counting and inspection.

Gao Yuxuan: A standard field straight knife (with teeth on the back), and a box of silver needles*.

*The materials and sizes of the silver needles are revised and changed according to simulation practice. There are smaller and thinner flying needles that can be used for finger flicks, as well as larger and thicker needles that are more lethal.

The silver needle box has also been specially designed, and the ring-shaped magnet can be better assembled on the prosthetic arm.

Wu Wen: Eight-sided Han sword (modernized), investigator combat uniform (simplified version), a small bottle of oral stimulant.

Li Xiaoying: Claw knife (double-edged), stimulant tablets.

Luo Di: Zombie Knife.

While most students chose to use stimulants, Luo Di and Gao Yuxuan still chose not to.

However, the reasons why the two did not use it were different. Gao Yuxuan came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and he could achieve similar effects through self-acupuncture, and acupuncture would not deduct medicine points.

Luo Di never uses medicine, and he can always focus quickly at critical moments.

In his opinion, the killers in the movies never rely on drugs. Once they lock onto their prey, they will focus completely on hunting until the target is completely dead. There is only half an hour left before the physical examination.

The monitor suddenly remembered something, "Oh no! My clothes are still in the dormitory, I'll go back and get them! You don't have to wait for me, go to the stadium first."

"Class monitor, I'm going too." Xiaoying has become accustomed to moving around with the class monitor during her time living in the school dormitory.

But this time the monitor strongly objected, "No, Xiaoying, you go first and get used to the track in advance. Don't disrupt your rhythm because of me."

"Ok."

"Everyone go ahead, I'll be back soon."

The monitor ran back to the dormitory at his usual speed, which could be considered as a warm-up in advance.

however,
Luo Di looked at the squad leader's back as he disappeared from the other side of the cafeteria, and felt something was wrong. After a whole year of contact, he knew very well how meticulous the squad leader's mind was.

The fact that Class 5 has won many awards for hygiene, discipline and campus activities is closely related to the management of the class monitor.

At such an important juncture, how could one suddenly forget something as important as the investigator's uniform?
Gao Yuxuan came over and patted Luo Di on the back.
“It should be fine.

The college entrance examination brings different pressures to each person, and many people will change under the heavy pressure.

Just now when we were eating, the monitor didn't say much for a long time. After all, the pressure from her family is very great, even someone like the monitor would feel nervous at this point, let's go first."

"Yeah." Rody tried his best to convince himself of this reason.

The three of them came to the track and field.
In order to improve the efficiency of the physical examination, the entire senior year was divided into two groups, one group conducted speed testing on the track and field, and the other group conducted strength testing in the gymnasium.

Class 5, where Luo Di is, belongs to the former. Now they need to gather and count the number of people in each class.

This process used to be the responsibility of the squad leader.
But when the whole class gathered, the monitor still hadn't returned.
Ruan Zhijun was also very puzzled. During his three years of high school, the monitor had never been late for assembly.
"Does anyone know where Wu Wen went?"

"The monitor forgot something in the dormitory and should be back soon. Let me count the number of people." Gao Yuxuan, the deputy monitor, stepped out and quickly completed the head count. Everyone was present except the monitor.

Ruan Zhijun immediately dialed the number on the bracelet, but the call could not be connected.
Of course, this may be related to the special physical test tonight. The entire No. 4 Middle School has implemented a signal blockade to ensure that derivative information related to the confrontation will not be leaked.

"There are only five minutes left before the physical test begins. If it is our turn for Class 20 to go on stage, there will probably be 25 to minutes left. Anyone who is in the same dormitory with Wu Wen, go to the dormitory building and urge her to go."

"I'll go!" Xiaoying raised her hand immediately.

"I'll go as well."

Roddy had sensed something was wrong before, and now the squad leader's delay made the suspicious atmosphere even stronger.

He needed to go and confirm it in person. As long as he could find the squad leader and rush over, he would definitely make it in time, and he would still have more than ten minutes left to adjust and rest.

Gao Yuxuan wanted to go along, but since the monitor was not there, he needed to take care of some pre-exam work as the deputy monitor, so he could only stay in the stadium and wait.

【dormitory】

Although No. 4 Middle School is very large, due to institutional issues, students other than senior three students are prohibited from living on campus.

Similarly, since there are not many students living on campus, the dormitory buildings are divided into two buildings, one for men and one for women, according to gender, and both buildings accommodate two people.

In front of the gate of the girls' dormitory,
"Luo Di, it's not convenient for you to go in here. I'll go in and call the squad leader."

Xiaoying put the bracelet on the card swiping area and the automatic door opened.

Because all the students went to the playground to gather, the entire first-floor lobby was unusually deserted, and the dormitory manager didn't seem to be here either.

Snapped!
Xiaoying was about to step in when Luo Di grabbed her arm.

"Wait." Luo Di held Xiaoying and shouted at the door, "Is anyone there?"

The dormitory manager who was supposed to stay on duty had not responded yet. Since the aunt was not there, there should be no problem for Luo Di to go in during the special time period.

"I will go with you."
