Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

Chapter 172 The Miraculous Examination Hall (2)

When their favorability rating was full, Dong Yinmiao and Luo Yuheng were both tied up and lying in the same coffin.

When the system asked Dong Yinmiao if she had left the world, Dong Yinmiao's hands were tied behind her back and she couldn't move, and her mouth was stuffed with something so she couldn't speak at all.

Don't think that just because something is stuffed in your mouth, you can spit it out and start talking; that's just something you see in TV dramas.

My mouth was stuffed full, so even if I wanted to spit it out, I couldn't. Haven't you seen the online posts saying that you shouldn't put light bulbs in your mouth because you won't be able to get them out?

Fortunately, the system's questions could also be answered mentally, and Dong Yinmiao quickly said in her mind, "No."

"Hmm?" Luo Yuheng, who was on the same wavelength as Luo Yuheng, asked with some confusion, "What?"

Dong Yinmiao said without hesitation, "I deny that Cui Kaiwen is the murderer."

"It can indeed be denied."

Unable to move, Dong Yinmiao couldn't help but ask, "What should we do now?"

A coffin meant for one person is now crammed with two people, making it difficult to even turn over.

Although Dong Yinmiao's Wordless Book has been upgraded, skills two, three, and four still need to be read aloud. Skill one, while not needing to be read aloud, requires writing down the idiom beforehand.

Tonight, Dong Yinmiao and Luo Yuheng's mission is to infiltrate the Prime Minister's residence at night. Therefore, Dong Yinmiao prepared in advance the skills "Telepathic Connection", "Indecisive", "Light as a Swallow" and "Swift as a Shadow", leaving the last idiom skill for improvisation.

The reason why Luo Yuheng was chosen to come along was because Luo Yuheng later bought a new prop from his mentor—a geometry toolbox.

Geometry Tool Box:

Ruler: The ruler used by the examinee is strong and not easily damaged. Candidates can enlarge or reduce the size of the ruler at will in the examination room and use it as they please.

Set square: The set squares in the examination room are exceptionally sharp and not easily damaged. Candidates can launch set squares to attack each other in the examination room. The number of set squares is unlimited.

Compass: Candidates can use a compass to draw a defensive circle of a certain size in the examination room, which will allow them to ignore attacks from others for a certain period of time. Duration is ten minutes, with a cooldown of half an hour.

Half-Moon Ruler: When used in the examination room, candidates can obtain a 180-degree unobstructed field of vision. Duration is ten minutes, with a five-hour cooldown.

Whether it's the reasoning and calculation in "The Brain" or the offensive, defensive, and analytical functions of the geometry toolbox, Luo Yuheng is the best candidate.

Unexpectedly, Dong Yinmiao and Luo Yuheng were knocked unconscious, tied up, and locked in a coffin.

Dong Yinmiao and her classmates were taking their last exam, which was Chinese.

The Battle of Red Cliffs during the Three Kingdoms period has always been a source of mystery for the academy, with no one knowing what they will be tested on next.

In fact, even they themselves didn't know.

Other study groups discussed and decided on the order of exams, but the big shots didn't express their opinions, and the small fry had no ideas, leaving Dong Yinmiao, who suffers from decision-making difficulties, to make the decision.

Dong Yinmiao has completely given up. What's the point of making decisions? It's not worth wasting brain cells on this kind of thing. Just draw lots for everything.

The Chinese exam room was somewhat familiar to Dong Yinmiao, at least the background was somewhat familiar.

This is a story about a newlywed bride who dies mysteriously on her wedding night, and Dong Yinmiao and her classmates' test task is to find the murderer.

The reason why Dong Yinmiao was somewhat familiar with this plot background was because the groom, Dong Yinmiao, had met him before.

The groom was Cui Kaiwen, the scholar who took the imperial examination in Dongyinmiao's selection test.

Dong Yinmiao remembered that during the Floating Wine Cups banquet, Cui Xiucai was wearing a scholar's long gown. Although the gown had no patches, the material was rather ordinary. Moreover, after the banquet began, Cui Xiucai intercepted the small boats several times, which annoyed others.

The essence of the "Floating Wine Cups and Winding Stream Banquet" lies in its atmosphere and ambiance; expecting to get a full meal at such a banquet is practically impossible.

Just like at a modern large-scale blind date buffet, neither men nor women would eat and drink excessively.

The "Floating Wine Cups and Winding Stream Banquet" was, in essence, just a gathering of scholars to show off their knowledge and flatter each other.

After all, they are all scholars, and they may rise to prominence after participating in the grand competition. It would be excellent to build good relationships now and praise each other.

However, as soon as the banquet began, Cui Xiucai ate several rounds, probably because he was so hungry that he couldn't care less about the food.

This shows that Cui Xiucai's family was indeed not well-off. Since he had spent money to attend the Floating Wine Cup Banquet, he didn't care about anything else and just wanted to fill his stomach first.

Dong Yinmiao recalled that after Cui Xiucai was criticized, he punished himself by writing three poems, which he did quite calmly.

It is evident that Scholar Cui was indeed exceptionally talented.

Therefore, it would be perfectly normal for Scholar Cui to eventually pass the imperial examination and marry the Prime Minister's daughter.

However, on their wedding night, the Prime Minister's daughter died tragically in the bridal chamber. As the son-in-law who had married into the family, Cui Xiucai was outside toasting and entertaining guests and had no suspicion of involvement.

However, during Dong Yinmiao's investigation, they discovered more suspicious aspects of Cui Xiucai.

Of course, Cui Xiucai wasn't the only one who could do it; there were others in the Prime Minister's mansion as well.

Therefore, Dong Yinmiao and his group decided to sneak into the Prime Minister's residence at night to see if they could find key clues to unravel the whole story.

However, although they were unexpectedly kidnapped this time, it also made Dong Yinmiao and the others realize that Cui Xiucai was innocent.

Dong Yinmiao can't use any of her other skills except for "multitasking" and "telepathy". She can only tell He Yihua about her and Luo Yuheng's discovery first, and then explain her and Luo Yuheng's current situation, asking them to continue investigating and solve the case as soon as possible.

"We can only wait to win without lifting a finger," Dong Yinmiao joked.

"Sigh, what can we do when we can neither speak nor move?" Luo Yuheng said helplessly.

To prevent Dong Yinmiao and Luo Yuheng from escaping, the murderer not only tied their hands behind their backs, but also stuffed a wad of cloth into their mouths so hard it was almost up to their throats, making it impossible for them to spit it out.

The two were lying face to face inside the coffin, completely eliminating the possibility that they would be lying back to back, groping each other to untie the ropes on their hands.

The two were of different heights, and Dong Yinmiao's head was currently near Luo Yuheng's chest, where he could hear the other's heartbeat.

"We're not going to suffocate in the coffin, are we?" The dark environment was frightening, so Dong Yinmiao started chatting with Luo Yuheng.

“We were almost able to identify the culprit. This night investigation has already eliminated many people. If we eliminate Cui Kaiwen as well, only that one person is left. I believe Yihua and his team will definitely be able to find evidence to convict the other party.”

In the darkness, Dong Yinmiao smiled and said, "Luo Shen, you talk a lot more now than before."

"It's just that the people you're talking to are different."

"Because it's me?" Dong Yinmiao said with a chuckle, "Didn't you reject me?"

"Did you really delete me?"

Before Dong Yinmiao could answer, a system notification appeared before her eyes.

[Congratulations to Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms for passing the Chinese language exam at the Battle of Red Cliffs! You have completed all twelve subjects and are about to return to the real world.]

Dong Yinmiao only managed to say "Guess" before everything went black and she lost consciousness.
