( 24 )

The examinees were shocked. Old Yu was so anxious, he jumped up: "You! Why did you?! Didn't they say that we can't break them?! But you...….!"

You Hou held the bottom of the glass and examined it. Without looking up, he answered: "I know what I'm doing."

922: "......."

Can you touch your conscience and say that again???

Don't you feel embarrassed saying that after violating the rules so many times?

The cabin fell silent for a few seconds.

Almost everyone thought You Huo had once again violated the rules. They stared at the answer wall apprehensively and waited for the fourth notice of violation.

No one knew what kind of punishment would be imposed on someone with four consecutive violations. Recalling the bald man going mad from just one round of punishment, they didn't dare think about it.

For a moment, the notification area on the answer wall appeared to glow red but in a blink of an eye it returned to its usual appearance.

It flickered red and white and then white and red. Like this, it went back an forth several times but in the end no words appeared.

154 was dumbfounded.

922 stood next too him adding fuel to the fire: "It feels like the system is about to explode….."

In the end, the one who broke the silence was You Huo himself.

He handed over the shattered end of the wine glass to Yu Wen and said: "Check and see if there's anything in it. My eyes feel uncomfortable."

Yu Wen who was on his knees panicked: "Brother, it's against the rules to damage the tableware…"

You Huo moved away from the light and closed his eyes for a while. He then said in a calm voice: "With what eyes of yours did you see me damage the tableware?"

Yu Wen held onto the broken glass and internally commented: Am I blind?

You Huo: "The question said that there are a total of 12 sets of tableware. Can you count?"

Yu Wen: "...…."

You Huo: "Should I teach you?"

Yu Wen: "...…"

Everyone fell silent for a while. They then came to a realisation.

That's right! The question clearly wrote that there are only 12 guests and 12 sets of tableware in the Hunter's cabin. The 12 sets of tableware are all on the dining table and numbered so it naturally didn't include the broken one.

Regardless of whether the examination system did it unintentionally, it had already disregarded the broken wine glass as part of the tableware. What's wrong with breaking it again?

"Brother, let me call you daddy!"

Yu Wen instantly came back to life. He raised the bottom half of the wine glass and held it against the light.

Just as Old Yu wanted to knock them in their heads, he heard Yu Wen cry out in surprise: "No way! There really is something!"

At the base of the wine glass was a slightly concave circle. Above it was the stem for people to hold onto. The stem had been broken off by You Huo and it was no longer even.

Yu Wen changed the angle of the glass as he held it under the light from the oil lamp and fire. In a spider-like posture, he soon cried out: "It's this angle! If you look at it from here, you can see something!"

All the examinees hurried over. They squeezed their heads over but couldn't find the right distance and angle.

"What is it? Where is it?"

The tattooed man struggled for a moment before finally giving up: "What did you see? Just spit it out!"

Yu Wen: "If I could see it clearly, do you think I need to twist it around like this?"

Just as he was about to start arguing with the tattooed man, someone patted his shoulder.

"Let me look."

The one who spoke was You Huo.

He closed his eyes to rest it up for a moment and, when his eyes felt a little better, he took the base of the wine glass from Yu Wen.

"Here, like this. You look from here." Yu Wen helpfully adjusted the angle and pointed at the place where the glass stem and the base met. "Isn't there something there? I think it's some kind of picture, but I couldn't see it clearly. I can't tell if it's a picture or a word."

You Huo let out an "oh" and once again knocked it.

With a crack, the thin stem broke off cleanly from the base. It looked as if it was made so that it could easily be broken that way.

"There's something!" Yu Wen caught something that fell off from that connecting point and held it like he was holding his great ancestors.

Everyone looked on intently. There really was a thin, round piece of paper. It wasn't much bigger than a pea. Before You Huo smashed the glass, it was probably hidden under the thin stem.

The back of it was blank. It looked like a tiny mirror.

The front of it had a few tiny letters:

Simon the Zealot

The foreigner Mike read it out quietly.

The two old ladies wrinkled their faces with confusion: "What?"

Mike: "....."

Old ladies: "...…."

It really killed him being unable to explain it in Chinese.

After a moment of stunned silence, someone whispered: "The Last Supper."

"Who are you cursing?!" The tattooed man glared at him angrily.

The one who spoke was the sickly thin man. He had always looked like he was tired and depressed. He wasn't idle the whole time, but his presence was very low, so he was often overlooked.

This was the first time everyone had their attention on him. Everyone waited for him to speak.

They soon remembered that this man was called Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin looked feebly at the tattooed man and said: "I was referring to Da Vinci's famous artwork "The Last Supper"."

The tattooed man wanted to say something in response.

Zhou Jin was afraid that he would ask a stupid question like "Who's Da Vinci?" so he quickly looked away and turned to You Huo: "Simon the Zealot is one of the 12 apostles."
