Qin Jiao, who became an invigilator, is still a troublesome existence. As far as the system is concerned, he may have a natural anti-bone - when he was a candidate, he took violations as a meal, and when he was an examiner, he still did.
When he violated the rules for the fourth time, the system couldn't bear it. Under the premise of the rules, it added a punishment mechanism, punishing him to take another test.
Since you want to participate in the exam, it is equivalent to a temporary candidate. To be a test taker, you need an admission ticket, and the one who was responsible for getting the admission ticket for him was the chief invigilator A at that time.
What other people don't know is that Qin Jiu was also present on the day the admission ticket was set, and it was the examiner A who informed him to go.
The admission ticket is set in the core area of the system, the main control center. It was the first time that Qin Qiu officially stood in front of the metal door, and before he got close, the system issued a red alarm.
Qin Qiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this one poisoned?"
[Non-lead invigilators are prohibited from entering the main control center. 】
The system is stereotyped.
"Don't let him in?" Examiner A said, "Then how can I verify his identity? If there is no identity verification, the admission ticket is just a piece of waste."
Qin Qiu looked over with a hint of surprise on his face.
He had experienced examiner A's temper, but he did not expect that the other party would speak to the system in such a tone, which was not like the usual style of moderate examiners.
But the system seems to be used to it, but stubbornly emphasizes:
[The invigilator Gin has insufficient authority. 】
"Are you punished or not?" Examiner A was a little impatient.
【Punishment. 】
"Then give him permission."
His tone was cold and tough, and the system was silent for a few seconds.
Qin Jiu actually read a trace of grievance from the few seconds of silence.
After a while, the system made another sound:
[It is OK to open the permission, it is forbidden to stay in the main control center for too long. 】
"how long?"
[No more than twenty minutes. 】
Examiner A nodded.
Immediately afterwards, the red light swept over Qin Jiu, and the system said: [The examiner Gin has been added to the permission list. 】
The metal door dropped open, and the system said again: [The countdown starts now, and the remaining time is 19 minutes, 59 seconds and 59. 】
It is rare to see such a stingy thing, Qin Qiu just laughed.
With that unsavoury smile on his face, he followed Examiner A and entered the door. He thought he would see a closed room like a laboratory, but he did not expect that behind the metal door was a forest.
Those branches were white and pointed straight to the sky, and the fine branches were intertwined, and at first glance they looked like gray-blue smoke.
Examiner A took Qin Jiu through the woods, and there was a flat-roofed building in the distance, like a metal fortress or a heavily guarded experimental warehouse.
Some scrapped instruments and materials were piled up outside the building, stacked up and down, and a few cars were parked. The cars were painted camouflage, with a thick layer of ash on the gray-green hoods.
The metal net wrapped around them, and when he got closer, Qin Jiu saw several charred bird carcasses hanging on the net.
At the boundary of the field of vision, in the more distant places, tall buildings can be vaguely seen. Foggy, like a ghostly shadow of a city.
"This is the main control center?" Qin Jiu stopped.
"Well." Examiner A said.
Qin Qiu glanced around, and finally raised his head, his eyes fell on the building in front of him. Warehouse... No, on the top of the rusted door of the main control center, white paint was sprayed with big words: NA 7232.
"What does that mean?" he asked, pointing to the string of characters that didn't make any sense.
With the usual temper of Examiner A at the conference table, he is too lazy to answer this kind of question. Qin Jiao was ready to be perfunctory, but heard examiner A say: "NA is the abbreviation, the full name is Noah's Ark 7232. The front is the name, and the back is the area number."
Qin Jiu somehow felt that the name looked familiar, as if he had seen it in a certain book or document.
"7232..." He read it over and asked, "Military area?"
"no."
Examiner A paused and said, "Accommodation area."
Qin Jiao looked puzzled.
Examiner A said, "Chu Yue and I..."
He said, as if remembering something, and changed his words: "It's the residence of examiner Z a long time ago, the accommodation area of a research center. The system took it and gave it a name to the main control center."
Qin Qiu looked at him, and suddenly remembered some rumors that Examiner A and Examiner Z had some origins with the system. But he never thought that he would hear this from Examiner A.
Examiner A today is a bit abnormal. Without the attention of other people and the noise of the system, he seems to be less repulsive from thousands of miles away.
To be precise, his edges and corners were still sharp, but he didn't stick to Qin Zhi.
The exterior of the main control center is old and mottled, and it may be borrowed from the building of some research center, but the inside is a piece of cold metallic white and a huge screen.
Examiner A didn't move those things, went straight to a console in the corner, opened a small screen and followed the rules.
Qin Qiu turned around, looked at the things in the main control center, and then returned to examiner A.
He propped up the table with both hands and watched Examiner A busy with a rare calmness.
After a while, he suddenly asked aloud, "Have you thought about changing camps?"
Examiner A paused with his finger. His first reaction was not to look at Qin Qiu, but at the four corners of the wall.
"Don't be so vigilant." Qin Qiu's voice was lazy, "I heard that the core area system is not monitored."
Examiner A gave a "hm" sound, but did not become enthusiastic, and remained businesslike.
"Although you are the leader of the group on the opposite side, sometimes I feel that it is more suitable for you to come to our side." Qin Qiu said, looking away from the busy fingers of the other party, looking at the profile of Examiner A and saying: "Aren't you considering changing your position in the exam?"
Examiner A didn't look at him, his eyes still fell on the screen, as if he was too busy to look away.
"Don't think about it," he said.
Qin Qiu gave a soft "Oh", dragging a long tail.
He didn't speak for a while, and honestly watched Examiner A input his various information.
"There are two more questions I've wanted to ask for a long time."
"Say."
"We are obviously opposites, why do you remember my information so clearly?" Qin Jiuchong raised his chin to the screen.
Examiner A didn't stop his fingers, but for a while, he didn't answer.
After typing a set of information, he said coolly, "Because I am the chief invigilator."
"Ah yes, I almost forgot after arguing for a long time. To a certain extent, you are still my boss." Qin Jiu raised the corner of his mouth and said again, "That's the last question."
Examiner A is assigning his admission ticket number.
He watched the string of numbers generated, and asked in a hurry, "Would you mind falling in love with my nemesis and half a subordinate?"
Examiner A shook his hand and directly hit the OK button.
The card writer next to him made a "drip" sound, and Qin Qiu picked up the card and set his eyes on the admission ticket number. See the end of the string of numbers followed by two letters - Gi.
Qin Qiu looked at it for two seconds, then laughed dumbly: "What is this? A new nickname for the opponent?"
Examiner A pursed his lips and looked at him, his expression extremely complicated at that moment.
After a while, he closed the screen with a snap, rubbed Qin Qiu's shoulder and walked towards the door, without turning his head, he threw a sentence: "It's okay, don't expect to change it."
After that, Qin Research was still testing the extent to which the system was out of control through constant violations.
The more unscrupulous the hardliners are, the more "loyal" the moderates headed by Examiner A appear to be, and the system gives A and Z more and more authority.
This contrast makes the two parties with different positions even more powerful.
Strangely, the more ruthless the meeting table, the stronger the ambiguity between Qin Research and Examiner A in private situations. Sometimes, Qin Qiu even felt that something would happen between them in the next second, but Examiner A would always withdraw before that.
That's not a joke. On the contrary, every time he pulled away, Qin Qiu could capture some kind of deep restraint and struggle in him.
For some reason, that feeling always made his heart go sour, as if he knew what those restraints and struggles were all about.
because of what...
Qin Jiu once thought that he would never understand until he was sent to a special area to be punished.
That was Examiner Z Chu Yue's territory, but for some reason that day, Chu Yue happened to be absent, and the person who sent him to be punished became Examiner A.
The identity verification passed, and when he was about to enter the punishment channel, Qin Jiu caught a glimpse of a "previous article" at the bottom of the screen, indicating that someone else had been punished before him.
He made a ghostly click, turned the screen forward, and the punishment record fell into the eyes of Qin Jiu and examiner A. At that time, the punishment would not hide anyone's name, and everything was written clearly:
Offender: A
Violation: Excessive relationship with candidate Qin Zhuo.
Punishment decision: white light area/single.
Others: At the request of A, the penalty is postponed for 5 days.
With only a few dozen words, even a page of space was not enough, Qin Qiu suddenly understood everything when he saw Examiner A's body suddenly froze.
He finally knew what was the reason for those unexplained emotions, familiar scenes, and everything that made sense.
Because he had this person beside him, but he forgot.
That was Qin Qiu's craziest time. After five days of punishment, he came out in six hours, silent, with blood all over his body and a wound on his right arm.
According to the rules, he was brought back to the confinement room of the residence by examiner A. As soon as he closed the door, he put A behind the door, and all his emotions resorted to those entanglements and kisses. Impulsive, repressed, intense, and affectionate...
***
He, Examiner A, and Chu Yue finally stood on the same road again, and began to hide under the system's nose.
That was really the best time—under the support of Qin Zhuo's hardliners, A and Chu Yue's authority had reached the highest level in history. The correction program is ready, and the system density has even dropped to 73%.
There is no ubiquitous monitoring in the main control center, and the system here is equivalent to being blind without eyes.
Since it has no eyes, it cannot judge subtle facts, especially those based on emotions and emotions. For example, when someone is doing something, is it with good intentions or with malice
Without accurate judgment, real-time instructions cannot be given. Therefore, the emergency procedures of the main control center are based on rigid rules.
Under normal circumstances, when the main control center is damaged, the internal attack and defense programs will be automatically activated. For every 20% increase in the damage degree, the attack and defense programs will be enhanced by one level.
Increase to level 4, this attack and defense procedure is no different from the "patrol smasher", whoever stays in it is a dead end.
But there is an exception.
If the main invigilator is present, the system will naturally believe that the main invigilator is on the same front as it, and will help it prevent damage and repair it as soon as possible.
In order not to kill the main invigilator by mistake, the attack and defense programs will not be activated in the early stage. Only when the damage degree reaches 50%, and the main invigilator still fails to stop the decline, this process will start.
Qin Qiu and the others were fighting this idea.
They've already figured it out—
In the presence of Examiner A, the damage to the main control center reaches 50%, and the unfortunate program will be activated. This time it is level 1. When the damage reaches 70%, it becomes level 2. When it reaches 90%, it becomes level 3, which is the ceiling ceiling. Because even if it reaches 100%, it will not rise to level 4, which is the most lethal.
In addition, when 70% of the main control center was paralyzed, the S group came out. They can use the lethality of this unfortunate program to deal with that S group.
Qin Jiu and Examiner A planned to work separately, destroying them from both sides to the middle, which would be faster and more efficient.
As long as it reaches 100%, the master control authority will fall into the hands of examiner A.
Then all the nightmares are over.
This was actually a prudent plan, but an accident happened at a critical moment.
As soon as the damage level reached 30%, the system suddenly started the attack program, and then it increased frantically at the rate of leveling up every 10%. There is only one possibility for this to happen -
The system was suddenly able to see, and it occupied Examiner A's eyes again.
In fact, they discussed this issue a long time ago. The thing in examiner A's eyes has long been confirmed to be disabled, which is almost no different from total destruction, because this kind of ban system cannot be automatically undone. Unless someone with higher authority than the chief examiner manually activates it, but in the entire invigilation area, there is simply no invigilator with higher authority than A and Z, and who can do it
They never figured it out.
Because they will run out of time before they find the answer.
The clearest memory of that day begins when the gunfire ceased.
Qin Qiu sat down on a sideways metal pipe with his elbows on his knees, lowered his head and coughed sullenly. Blood flowed out of the wounds almost uncontrollably, and a large area of dazzling bright red appeared on his shirt.
He lowered his eyes, rubbed his eyelashes with his thumb, and swept away the blood beads that blocked his vision, but his vision did not become clear.
The attack had actually stopped, but he could still hear the continuous roar, covering everything he wanted to hear.
He wanted to hear what was going on at the other end of the ruins, whether Examiner A was here, whether the other party's footsteps were light or heavy, and how many injuries he suffered...
But it was too far away, and it was too noisy in his ears, he couldn't hear anything.
The bloody smell mixed with the smell of gunpowder, constantly hitting his nostrils. He sat for a while, reaching for the scarf. He folded the bloody part inside, wrapped it around his neck, and tucked the rest neatly into his neckline.
The dove-grey velvet covered most of the blood, and at first glance appeared unscathed.
After doing this, Qin Jiu finally supported the metal tube and tried to stand up. As soon as he looked up, a figure appeared in his blurred vision.
He blinked his eyes twice, wanting to see a little more clearly, but the effect was not good, but the dizziness became heavier.
In those few seconds, the memory was dark.
When he shook his head and raised his eyes again, the man was already in front of him.
At that moment, he was fortunate, fortunate that his speed was still fast, and he hid the embarrassment and blood in advance, so as not to make people sad.
He raised his head and looked at the man for a long time.
In fact, he couldn't see anything clearly, but it didn't prevent him from looking at it for a while.
His big examiner's eyes seemed to be very red, and his lips parted and closed as if speaking. He leaned forward, trying to hear, but there was still only the roar of artillery fire in his ears.
So he could only laugh.
He twisted a small hard object between his fingers and said to the other party, "Big examiner, lower your head and tell you something."
The man almost knelt down in front of him.
Qin Qiu narrowed his eyes and brushed his fingers across the other's face.
The moment he touched his body temperature, he suddenly began to feel reluctant.
Before all the plans were executed, Qin Research actually quietly went to the core area of the system.
He had a taste of amnestics once, so before taking action, he went to the "backup center" to get a copy of the revocation authority, and spent a lot of time hiding it in an earring. The human part that was cleared by the system was released again, which is the later 154.
It was also on that day that he found something hidden in the core area.
That's an uncommon system rule—
"If the system is damaged due to the invigilator's fault, the chief invigilator has a one-time immunity. 』
According to their plan, Chu Yue would sit in the rear and would not directly participate, so there would not be too severe punishment. But he is different from Examiner A. Once they fail, the consequences are unpredictable.
And this rule is the life-saving charm of examiner A.
The reason why he hid was because he had transferred this life-saving charm to Qin Qiu long ago.
That time when he did the temporary admission ticket, he called Qin Jiao to the core area, just for this. Only when Qin Jiu's name appears on the authority list of the main control center can he have the opportunity to do this.
After Qin Qiu saw it, he quietly moved the immunity back.
…
The windbreak forest is still staggered, glowing a foggy gray-blue.
The sky is far away, and the wind carries the chill of early winter.
He smelled the smoke of gunpowder again, and he didn't know if it was on him or on A's body, maybe both.
They are going to be separated again. I don't know how long it will be this time, and whether there will be a day when they will meet again.
If we meet again, will you still remember that you once had such a lover
Probably not...
Look, before he left, he had already started to miss him.
