This sentence is really shocking.
You Huo was stunned for a long time.
He felt that peeping feeling that followed him again.
This feeling has often occurred before. Sometimes he would suddenly look to the ceiling, or other corners, looking for the source of the peeping.
He felt that the system was hidden behind a void, quietly watching everything that was happening around him, but he couldn't find the exact place.
It wasn't until now that he suddenly realized...
That might not be a real feeling, just some sort of subconscious remnant.
Qin Qiu said that the system is almost everywhere and does not condense at a certain point.
That kind of peeping feeling that follows him actually comes from himself.
This feeling must have followed him for many years, so that even if he lost his memory, it would still be affected.
Qin Jiu was keenly aware of his emotions and grabbed his hand beside him.
"It's not really learning from you." Chu Yue saw disgust and self-deprecation in his eyes, and immediately added: "It's impossible for you to learn such a thing if you really learn it. You are not the only one imitating, and the developers thought it was When experiencing the same thing as you, it will directly copy your emotions and thinking, and then slowly learn, diverge and simulate. But it is not, it is more independent than imagined.”
"It has its own set of logic, which is generated on the basis of rules, which is very different from human nature. Therefore, although it uses the same pair of eyes and sees the same thing, its judgment is often the opposite of the imitating object. Going the opposite way…”
Chu Yue didn't know what to think, and she was a little lost.
"So you shouldn't have been very happy when you were a child. Actually, I don't want to tell you this, but I'm afraid that you will be sad because you think about something piecemeal... "
"The existence of the system will make the imitation object look abnormal. How should I put it, it's like there is another soul secretly hidden in the body, a soul completely different from yourself."
In fact, "unhappy" is just a euphemism.
If a child looks at you like someone else is hiding behind your back, you will inevitably feel creepy.
You will be afraid of him, alienated from him...
Even if it is a relative, even if this child is ignorant and innocent.
If everyone he should be close to alienates him, it's not just unhappy...
When Chu Yue said these words, You Huo lowered her eyelids slightly.
Qin Qiu looked at him and suddenly realized that he always seemed to be like this.
Most of the time, You Huo keeps his eyes down. Listening to people talking, waiting for people to do things, impatient or impatient, happy or unhappy... He is like this, like he is sleepy, showing a lazy temperament.
When unfamiliar, Qin Jiu thought he was arrogant by nature.
Maybe, there is a point.
But if he saw fear and distance from childhood, if his eyes would always make people uneasy and frightened, after a long time, he would no longer want to look at anyone seriously...
Qin Qiu suddenly wanted to ask Chu Yue, when did You Huo know about this.
childhood? juvenile? Or after becoming an invigilator
How many years had he been confused before he knew it? How to understand those inexplicable alienation? After knowing it, do you occasionally think about the past
His big examiner just looked indifferent and sharp, but he was actually very soft-hearted.
All the evasive drooping glances, in addition to long-standing habit, may also be protective. Protect those who try to get close to him from inexplicable prying eyes.
Qin Qiu's face was very bad.
Either way, he was distressed.
Youhuo was quiet for a long time, wondering what he was thinking about, or thinking about nothing at all.
After a while, he pointed to his eyes and asked Chu Yue, "This sharing will continue until I'm removed from the list?"
If so, then...
He suddenly glanced at Qin Qiu.
Chu Yue hurriedly waved her hand: "No. It will continue until the system is officially used, that is, we will use the training officer—we called the training officer at the beginning. After entering the system with that identity, this sharing is over. After it is learned, it will be used. Not on. And there will be some measures to avoid sharing.”
"Are you sure?" You Huo was suspicious.
Chu Yue said: "You think, in this test mechanism, the system can be everywhere. Except for some special cases, it knows everything we have experienced, how can it use someone's eyes? And this is right Instead, it is a limitation, borrowing your eyes, it is equivalent to standing on your perspective, you can only see things in this corner, and it can’t pay attention to other places.”
For this, she is very sure: "It has such a strong desire to control, and always feels that it is its unique advantage to be able to take into account all aspects. It will not do that. But... "
"But what?" You Huo asked.
"Although I know it won't do this, and I have corresponding measures, I still can't pass that level psychologically." Chu Yue said, "Sometimes I suddenly feel uneasy, worrying that my eyes will be occupied again, which will harm others. What kind of person. Intellectually know that it's fine, but there are inevitably irrational times... "
Youhuo looked at her and suddenly asked, "Why do you know so much?"
Chu Yue was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "The system is actually genderless, and the developers don't know whether it is more suitable to be set as a female or a male, so there were actually two imitators at first, one male and one female. I am the other. Bad luck. Our relationship can be traced back to when we were young, and we have a lot of feelings you have and I have. Otherwise, how can we become friends?"
You puzzled nodded.
No wonder he had a rare reassurance and trust in Chu Yue, and no wonder that when he became an invigilator, the system gave them the highest authority.
"To a certain extent, the system grew up with you and me. We are called growth, it is called learning and upgrading. It's... Maybe it treats the two of us as brothers and sisters, so it has a high degree of trust in the two of us. A little bit, and a little bit more forgiving."
Chu Yue said that at the earliest, the system was generally normal, and in some cases it even showed a bit of human nature—Chu Yue's straightforwardness was mixed with confusion and coldness and sharpness.
Of course, there is only a little shadow very occasionally, not quite like it.
Later, as the system became more and more powerful and independent, this part disappeared and never appeared again.
In Chu Yue's words - there are only tricks and perverts left.
Because of their own experiences, You Huo and Chu Yue had a more sober and thorough understanding of the system than anyone else. They have privileges that other proctors do not have, and are also subject to more explicit or implicit restrictions.
So, after the system went wrong, the two of them have always been hard-liners dressed as "moderates".
It would have taken them longer and longer to destroy the system, but an unexpected factor appeared in the middle.
This factor broke a lot of rules and kept the system patched behind his ass.
There is an old saying that more talk is more wrong.
Patches pile up patches, rules card rules, the number is too large, it will inevitably cause some contradictions and bugs.
This unexpected factor is Qin research.
His appearance and actions created a breakthrough, so You Huo and Chu Yue's plans were accelerated.
It's a pity that Qin Jiu was too eye-catching as a candidate at that time.
For some purpose, he put himself on the tip of the tongue of flame, and the system was staring at him more than anyone else.
So as soon as they joined forces, the system noticed the signs.
In fact, there is no evidence, and there is no substantive discovery, but the system is especially wary of Qin research.
The best way to do this kind of dangerous role is to put it in the system, under the nose, and become an invigilator.
So, after Qin Jiu passed the exam, he soon returned as an invigilator.
On the one hand, it was the result of Chu Yue's quiet operation, and on the other hand, it followed the system's wishes.
Their second union took some time.
As soon as Qin Qiu's memory was disturbed, he was in a state of tit-for-tat with You Huo at first. Second, even if the ice and snow melted and stood together again, they would be much more cautious than before, at least not showing the slightest trace on the bright side.
"That time we were really only a little short." Chu Yue said with a pity: "We have all reached the core area, and most of the things that should have been destroyed have been destroyed. As a result, there was a mistake at the critical moment, and the results fell short."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know that. It was the two of you who went deep into the core area in the end. I was guarding the rear, but the result was not good news." Chu Yue said, "Why it failed that time, only the two of you know. Of course, breaking up is bullshit! You hurt him or he hurt you, you don't have to believe this kind of nonsense, it's all for others to hear."
"I didn't believe it." You Huo said.
Qin Qiu touched his chin and coughed lightly.
You Huo remained silent, giving him a few seconds to ponder alone. Only then did he ask Chu Yue, "I asked someone to leave a message for myself. I'm going to the resting place to find something and someone. The person I'm looking for must be you. Do you know what the thing is?"
"I know." Chu Yue said.
You are relieved when you hear it.
But Chu Yue added: "It's useless to know."
Confused: "?"
"That thing is rather special, it is no longer in the resting place." Chu Yue said.
"What's the meaning?"
"The two of you stayed behind just in case. It was a systematic self-correction program. This program will monitor and judge the various behavioral instructions of the system, and take measures to correct and balance it according to the situation, and even if necessary. self-destruct."
Chu Yue stopped the conversation, looked at the faces of You Huo and Qin Qiu, and said hesitantly, "But... the system is very sophisticated. After you have an accident, the correction program is gone. I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find it anywhere. But don't worry, we're back together after all, it's more useful than anything."
This is also comfort.
Neither You Huo nor Qin Jiu likes to be depressed, so they quickly focused on the core area.
However, Chu Yue said, "The core area is hidden by the system, so the general invigilator can't touch it. But don't worry about this, if I can send you in once, I can send you the second time. Compared with the core area, you should recover sooner. Memories are real, if you don’t know why you failed last time, going to the core area will be blind.”
So here comes the question...
How can I restore my memory earlier? ?
Wandering thought that Chu Yue had a quick solution, who knew she thought about it for a long time, then snapped her fingers and said, "As far as I know, one is that you can go to the places you used to visit often, which are impressive or have special significance. It is possible to create a similar scene, to reproduce the original scene, it can be stimulated to a certain extent, and maybe it will be remembered. In addition, there is one thing I discovered later... "
"what?"
"In a place with low system interference, it's easier to think about the past. I don't need to explain the reason. After all, the interference is low. This applies to the invigilator."
When she reminded her like this, Qin Research found that it was really the case.
His own limited memories of Examiner A were almost all he remembered in the confinement room.
It's just that every time he enters the confinement room, all he sees is the ruins. So the fragments that come to mind are more or less related to there.
Memory recovery is a headache.
Chu Yue and You Huo went back and forth and briefly discussed it for a while.
Just when it was said that this building was the perfect location, Qin Jiu suddenly interjected: "Actually, there is another way to restore memory."
Knowing his character, Chu Yue suddenly had an ominous premonition: "What can I do? You can talk about it first."
"As far as I know, there's a place in the system to undo an order—"
Before Qin Qiu could finish speaking, Chu Yue had already jumped up: "Don't even think about it! Courting death is not such a way to find a way!"
"Revocation of the order?" You Huo was very interested.
Without saying a word, Chu Yue pushed them to the basement, pointed at the door of the room below, and said, "Go, go! If you have this skill, you might as well go directly into the confinement room to stimulate yourself! To be honest, I think this house is absolutely absolutely perfect. It’s a good exciting place, but the layout of the living room has been changed, you can’t see the way it used to be, and the only thing that retains the way it used to be is the confinement room.”
What Qin Qiu said was obviously a dangerous method, and Chu Yue didn't want to talk about this topic again.
"I'll see if I can remind them to let me out first, I'm so hungry, and the food is upstairs out of the box. You two are free. Anyway, there won't be an accident here for a while, doesn't Xiao Wu have something to say? Call her in later."
Chu Yue waved at them as she spoke, and went to study it by herself.
As a result, as soon as she walked in front of the mirror, she exclaimed: "What about people?"
Youhu turned his head to look.
The floor-to-ceiling mirror reflected the appearance of the real living room, and the sofa that was originally full of people was now empty.
There was a tissue on the coffee table, apparently pulled out in a hurry.
The number 9 is written on it with a marker.
Chu Yue didn't react: "9? What do you mean? Just write the answer to the question?"
"No." You Huo pointed to the clock on the wall and said, "It's past 9 o'clock."
They were either lucky to have escaped death before, or they were in a hurry to talk, and everyone forgot the schedule.
The watch says that 9:00 in the evening is good night time.
It's time for them to sleep.
The drowsiness in the exam room is coming, and no one can stop it.
It's not easy for them to struggle to leave a message with a tissue.
Although they entered the mirror, they were supposed to live after death and did not have to follow the candidates' schedule.
But the mirror itself seems to have a work and rest, which is inseparable from Sally and Shirley. And this routine affects the person in the mirror.
Trouble comes.
Chu Yue covered her lips and yawned three times in a row, and finally was defeated.
She shook her hand and said, "Wait for them to wake up until dawn. I can't do it anymore. I'll go to the study and lie down for a while."
"Are you going to sleep on your stomach for ten hours?" Qin Qiu said, "Go to the guest room, we can make do with the two sofas."
Chu Yue couldn't resist, and walked into the guest room in two or three, and soon after closing the door, there was no movement.
You Huo and Qin Jiu actually felt the sudden drowsiness, and while they were still drowsy, You Huo took a bath in the bathroom on the first floor.
He wiped his hair, intending to sleep on the sofa for a while. As soon as I sat down, I changed my mind and walked across the living room to the basement.
Affected by Chu Yue's words, he wanted to come to the confinement room again.
Many scattered memories are related to this place, plus some special reasons, this place is definitely one of them when it comes to impressive places. He wanted to try it, to see if he could think of anything else.
The basement was very quiet, and it was obvious that Qin Jiu's bathing water became distant and vague, as if he was stuffed in a jar.
The confinement room is still the same-
The glass in the shower was gray and the floor was dry, as if it hadn't touched water in hundreds of years.
The bed was placed against the wall. It wasn't really that small, but You Huo always suspected that a tall man like Qin Qiu could not sleep well.
There was a glass on the table and the chair was pulled away. At first glance, it seems that the people here have finished drinking water, put down the cup, and just left for a while...
But it has actually been several years.
In order to make the confinement room look more like a place of punishment, the system always likes to hang bits and pieces on the wall, bloody ropes, sharp hooks, black and white bandages...
Something that can make the environment depressing.
But You Huo stood here and didn't feel depressed.
Maybe it's because even after a long, long time, the place is still full of Qin Qiu's breath. All the memories about here have his figure.
His eyes swept over the scattered arrangements, but the words Chu Yue said flashed back in his mind.
She said that although she knew that her eyes were no longer affected, she always had some delusions, and she always felt that there was a system that secretly peeped behind her pupils. Maybe it's really been affected for too long, too long.
Intellectually know that it is okay, but psychologically there will still be a moment of doubt and avoidance.
…
After wandering for a while, I didn't even notice that the vague sound of water had stopped.
He stood by the bed, his eyes fixed on a piece of bandage. It fell off half of the wall, hung on the railing at the head of the bed, and You Huo reached out and picked up the end.
I don't know why, but this moment's action has a feeling of deja vu.
You confused for a moment.
He just stood up when there were light footsteps behind him.
"Why are you here?"
Qin Jiu pecked the back of his exposed neck as if he was teasing him.
As he bowed his head, he crossed Wandering's shoulder and saw something wrapped around the other's fingers.
He was stunned for a moment, and some fragmentary pictures came up without warning...
It should be in this confinement room, right here.
The same goes for the headboard with the railing.
…
It was Examiner A's You Huowei who raised his chin and kissed Qin Qiu.
The shirt was mostly unbuttoned, the neckline was open, the hem was drawn from under the belt, and the loose folds were bent at the waist.
During the intertwining gap, he let go by a millimeter, his eyes half-opened with the hot and humid mist, and his eyes fell from Qin Qiu's eyebrows to his lips.
He wanted to continue kissing, but suddenly remembered something and paused. He closed his eyes in Qin Qiu's fiery breath, and said in a hoarse voice to wait a moment.
He reached for the black bandage dangling from the bed rail, the color of the fabric almost making his fingers pale.
"...don't look me in the eyes."
He said to Qin Qiu.
