Classmate Yu Wen was shocked: "Brother...….What did you do before? How can you do this so skilfully?"

You Huo's light coloured eyes swept over him.

Yu Wen only now remembered...…His brother probably didn't know himself.

The bald man was thrown onto the beaten sofa. You Huo screw shut the bottle of so-called "ink".

The moment the bottle cap was tightened, everyone in the room heard a soft sigh.

"Who?!"

Everyone's hair stood up.

As the final stain on the answer wall faded, a line suddenly appeared in the originally blank space:

Violation warning: Did not use the correct exam stationery. The invigilator has been notified.

Invigilator: 001, 154, 922

The rooster in the cabin suddenly called out.

Yu Wen was so scared he almost cried out together with it. He grabbed onto his brother's sleeve and fearfully looked at the door with wide eyes.

You Huo wanted to walk over to the door but he had Yu Wen hanging from him like a dead fish trying to hold him back. In the end, Yu Wen was dragged together as he moved over to the door.

Outside the window, through the billowing snowstorm, three figures appeared in the distance.

The one at the front was tall, had short black hair and was wearing a slim-fitting coat. Even just by looking at the outline, you could see that his figure was straight and proper. When he walked over to the door, a gust of wind blew past and the snow within it obscured his vision.

He lowered his head and blinked a little, and snow particles fell from his face. When he looked up again, his dark eyes that reflected some of the snow just happened to land on You Huo.

You Huo subconsciously touched his earring.

Yu Wen whispered next to him in a small mosquito-like voice: "Don't tell me you know him?"

You Huo furrowed his brows and quietly answered: "I forgot. "

Judging from their positions, the man at the front was probably invigilator 001.

He acted like someone who came to find shelter from the snow. While he assessed the cabin, he took off his leather gloves and said with a smile: "Not bad, there's even a fire. The snow outside is quite heavy so it was very cold coming here."

No one smiled back.

Most of the people in the room shrank back.

He acted like he didn't notice this reaction and leisurely walked over to the fire stove to warm up his hands. The smile from earlier still lingered at his lips and it brought along with it a sense of lazy teasing.

The snow on his shoulders and collar slowly disappeared, leaving behind a slightly damp stain. It then slowly dried up.

Everyone stared at him, but no one dared to speak.

The tin can that was thrown out was smashed into smithereens, but they went through the snow without a single scratch on their skins.

Yu Wen hid behind You Huo while trembling. It even caused You Huo to shake along with him.

He pathetically asked: "Are they still human?"

The 001 man appeared to have heard this and he turned to look at You Huo.

His eyes were an extremely dark black. With him standing against the light, the light from the fire would occasionally flicker in his eyes. The teasing in his eyes still had not yet scattered.

You Huo expressionlessly looked back at him. He grabbed onto the trembling boy behind him and asked calmly: "Can you shut up?"

Yu Wen didn't dare to move.

It was only until Mr. 001 finished warming up his hands and wore his gloves again that the invigilator standing at the door spoke in an official tone: "We are the invigilators for this round. I am No. 154. We have just received news that two of you didn't follow the examination rules."

The pregnant lady Yu Yao turned pale. She was originally unable to stand up straight and this time she was about to faint.

She was like a water faucet. Tears gushed out from her eyes.

As for the bald man tied up on the sofa...…he didn't even dare breathe.

"But...…."

Someone suddenly spoke up.

Invigilator 154 stopped and looked at the speaker.

Yu Wen quickly poked his head out from behind You Huo.

Unexpectedly, the person who spoke up was his alcoholic old man, Old Yu.

"In...In the first place, we weren't told how we should answer the question." Old Yu fearfully stuttered.

"There are clues for all rules." 154 said.

"Where are the clues?"

No. 154 looked at him expressionlessly: "I'm not an examinee."

"Bu-but we didn't know! We're not guilty if we didn't know....." Old Yu's voice got smaller and smaller and it eventually turned into the sound of a mosquito.

No. 154: "That has nothing to do with us."

With a deadpanned face, No. 154 continued with his job: "We only punish the relevant personnel who violated the rules. The others can continue to take the exam."

As he said that, he pulled out a white note. He read the scribbled information on it.

"According to our sources, the offender was a middle-aged man and a young girl——-"

He turned to look at Mr. 001. He then looked back at the note and stopped for a few seconds. With a firm expression, he repeated: "A middle-aged man and a lady. The two offenders, please come with us."

As he said that, the other invigilator had already picked up the bald man from the sofa and dragged him over to the door like a dead dog.

The door was opened and cold air rushed in.

Snow particles covered their faces and everyone in the room screamed and shrank over to the fire stove. It was as if they would be smouldered into dust if the snow touched them.

Everyone watched as invigilator No. 922 stepped out with the bald man and disappeared into the snowstorm.

Left behind was the bald man's fearful screams and a small water stain on the ground.

No. 154 continued with his deadpanned expression: "There's also another girl, uh, woman..."

He looked up and scanned the room with furrowed brows.
