Dancing with Clear Shadows, Like in the Mortal World

"First, you all need to know that this is an extremely rare special Dungeon, one that you can't seek out but might stumble upon."

"The Spirit Car Driving License might not seem like much now, but once you've experienced more Dungeons and developed yourselves, you'll realize how valuable it is."

"In the future, this is something all players will fight tooth and nail for."

"So, I advise you all not to intentionally fail and get eliminated."

Gu Mian understood the instructor's meaning.

It was like in a certain game when it first launched, and you pulled a card that seemed ordinary, with low attack and low HP, and decided it was useless and decomposed it.

But as the game progressed, you discovered that card was the strongest support in the entire game and extremely rare.

That feeling would be worse than eating ten thousand flies; Gu Mian had experienced it.

"Next, you'll follow me into the Written Test Center to get your papers. Everyone's paper will be different, so no copying, but you can discuss the questions."

"There's a clock in the building where you can check the time anytime. Remember, the testing period is from 10 PM to 12 AM, otherwise, you won't be able to fill out the test."

The instructor said this while walking towards a massive building beside them.

The others followed.

Before following, Gu Mian took another careful look at his surroundings.

In front of the Written Test Center building was a wide road, with a long section cordoned off by yellow lines, presumably the area for the on-road test.

One end of the road stretched to a mountain not far away, then turned and disappeared from sight. The surroundings were vast, making it feel like a desolate wilderness.

Three cars emitting a strange aura were parked side-by-side along the road. The western sun had already set halfway, and dusk was still lingering.

"Let's go in." Chu Changge's voice came from beside him.

Gu Mian snapped back to attention.

A few players had already followed the instructor through the entrance and were now looking back, waiting for him.

Gu Mian quickened his pace and stepped through the door.

Upon entering, there was a spacious open area, brightly lit by incandescent lights in the center, with the surroundings somewhat dim.

This was because the building was shaped like a flattened cylinder, with rooms arranged in a circular pattern along the outer edge, leaving the center empty.

Looking up, one could even see the glass roof of the topmost floor.

In the brightest spot in the center was a table.

It was a long table, like the conference tables used by executives in suits.

On the table were seven test papers and a round clock, displaying the time as 5:56.

"The test papers have been distributed and your names are on them. The exam officially begins now."

The instructor said this as he backed away.

Gu Mian watched him retreat out of the building, then pull out a large padlock and lock the door with a click.

Seeing this, some people present looked dazed and shivered violently.

Gu Mian, however, did not shiver. His eyes swept across the room, and he immediately spotted his own test paper.

Only now did he realize that this Spirit Car driving test was not only strange on the road but also bizarre in its written portion.

These were definitely not the kinds of questions one would find on a normal driving test.

"Full marks are 100. Multiple choice accounts for 40 points, fill-in-the-blanks for 20 points, and essay questions for 40 points."

Below were four multiple-choice questions, two fill-in-the-blanks, and one essay question.

His gaze was first drawn to the essay question, which took up the largest area.

"Given that this building has three floors, and each floor contains one Fierce Ghost, what is the death order of the three Fierce Ghosts?"

WTF! Gu Mian was stunned.

What kind of essay question was this? It was even more outrageous than "Xiao Ming's mother bought five jin of apples and three jin of pears, what is the mother's age?"

If Gu Mian's math teacher knew that such questions existed in the world, they would definitely be so angry they'd jump out of their coffin.

Looking further up, the multiple-choice questions were equally unreliable.

"What is the gender of the Ma-surnamed Fierce Ghost?"

"A: Male, B: Female, C: Neither male nor female, D: Sometimes male, sometimes female."

"What are the physical characteristics of the Yang-surnamed Fierce Ghost?"

"A: Dead fish eyes, B: Scarred face, C: Big belly, D: Long tongue."

"How many people did the only male Fierce Ghost in this building kill when he was alive?"

"A: 1, B: 2, C: 3, D: 4."

"If you sing 'Only Mother Is Good in the World' to a pregnant ghost, what reaction will she have?"

"A: Rage wildly, B: Go downstairs and smash the door, C: No reaction, D: Dance gracefully."

The only two fill-in-the-blank questions below also made one's head throb.

"The Zhao-surnamed Fierce Ghost died in () car."

"The Long-tongued Ghost's method of killing is ()"

That was all the content on the entire test paper.

But who could tell him what this test paper had to do with the driver's license test? Only one fill-in-the-blank question mentioned the word "car."

The other questions were really beyond the scope of a driver's license test.

Gu Mian glanced at Chu Changge's test paper next to him, and scoffed! It was equally outrageous.

After looking at their own test papers, the other players' faces all turned pale, looking like they wanted to commit suicide on the spot. Among them, the gaunt man named "Yan Hua Yi Leng" was the worst.

He swallowed hard, his legs trembling, his whole body shaking slightly.

Of course, the others weren't in much better shape. Although they had already experienced one Dungeon, they still couldn't quite accept reality.

Only the female celebrity Xiao Qiao still had a look of sudden realization, as if she had just figured out what this Dungeon was about.

Fatty nervously leaned closer to Gu Mian: "Doctor, what should we do?"

This guy had been following Gu Mian ever since the game started, and the phrase he said most often was definitely "What should we do?"

Gu Mian folded the test paper a few times and put it into the pocket of his white coat. "Let's take a look first. There are three floors here, and we'll start by looking for clues on the first floor."

Since they were given such a test paper, they would definitely find the answers within this building.

He thought to himself as he looked around.

The building covered a large area, with rooms arranged in a circle. The first floor probably had fifty to sixty rooms.

Gu Mian hadn't looked carefully when he first came in, but now that he did, he was terrified.

He saw that all the doors on this floor were tightly closed, and at a height of one person on each door, an obituary photo was hung.

These obituary photos surrounded the seven people in the center, as if all their gazes were focused on them.

"Oh my god..." Fatty's back felt cold.

"Don't be afraid," Gu Mian comforted him. "Let's go into one and see what the situation is inside."

Fatty nodded tremblingly.

Seemingly seeing that there were many people on his side, the gaunt young man also shivered and came closer. "Judging by your attire, you're a doctor, right? Can I follow you?"

If he wanted to follow, fine. The road was wide enough, and following him wasn't illegal.

At this moment, the female celebrity Xiao Qiao also suddenly stepped closer and raised her hand: "I want to follow too."

Her posture was exactly like a primary school student raising their hand in class, waiting for the teacher to call on them to answer, very serious.

Where there was one, there were naturally two, and then three.

Before long, all the other players were following behind Gu Mian.

Gu Mian was helpless, so he could only take the lead and push open the doors.

With a "creak," a door with an obituary photo was pushed open, revealing a mourning hall inside.
