[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 51 [English]

☆、Chapter 51 Don’t know each other in person

The door has been opened a crack.

Light fell in through the cracks, illuminating Miss Gan Jian’s green face.

“Can it be operated?” You Huo asked.

021 struggled in his heart: “…No way.”

You Huo looked at her without saying a word.

She added: “It is very difficult and very dangerous.”

Youhuo: “For example?”

“For example…” 021 racked his brains: “There was a situation like this once where the invigilator made a mistake and stuffed the candidates into an already occupied invigilation room.”

Youhuo leaned against the door and waited for her.

021 said: “What a coincidence, the two candidates know each other. What’s even more coincidental is that they are each other’s nightmares. Does this sound familiar?”

Youhuo: “Continue.”

021: “In short, what A is most afraid of is meeting B, and what B is most afraid of is meeting A. It’s almost like this relationship. What kind of scene do you think they will encounter when these two people arrive in a solitary room?”

This lady not only wants to talk, but also interact.

Unfortunately, the audience didn’t buy it.

Fortunately, she was already used to the cold face of the other party. Before Youhuo could say anything, she revealed the answer: “In a solitary room, there are two A and two B.”

“One is the real person, and the other is made up because the other person is afraid of seeing him. Think about it again, you and 001 are very similar to A and B, right? What if there are two 001s and two yous at the same time, with eyes facing each other…”

021 paused appropriately, creating a terrifying atmosphere: “Let’s not talk about whether it is scary or not. Do we still need the solitary room?”

Even if the proctor is not crazy, the system is.

Youhuo nodded after listening: “So it can actually be operated, but the scenarios that both parties are most afraid of will overlap?”

“………………”

021 It’s all in vain.I just spent so much time talking, and I didn’t do it for you!

This needs to be replaced with 078, and the head is screwed off.

But facing Youhuo, she could only take a deep breath and keep smiling.

“It’s not necessarily superposition.” 021 explained: “There are also overlays. If one person’s fear is significantly higher than the other, there will be almost complete coverage. There are also new scenes created after the fusion of the two, and the new scenes are often more deadly.”

She wanted to say a few more words, so that Youhuo would consider the trouble and give up.

Unexpectedly, the boss nodded and said, “Have you done this more than once?”

“………………”

Fuck you mad.

Miss 021 has the heart to kill.

Except for You Huo, the culprit who can’t be killed, whoever will behead whomever will be beheaded.

Just as I was thinking about it, someone came to pay my respects.

There was a knock on the ajar door of Solitary Room No. 1. 021 opened it and saw 078’s mallet standing at the door.

He looked a little surprised: “You haven’t left yet?”

021 is concise and concise: “That’s right.”

078 asked: “Why does it take so long?”

“Let’s see if it’s a malfunction in the confinement room or if this thin-skinned candidate is really fearless.” 021 said.

This lady’s expression was very cold and intimidating, but her hands were behind her back and she was shaking her head in confusion.

078 had long been accustomed to this lady’s speaking style, and said seriously: “It’s a good idea not to leave, so that I don’t have to run upstairs. 001 just made a joke to me, but it reminded me.”

021 looked at he suspiciously and had a bad feeling.

“Well, let’s just lock them together. It’s boring to stay alone anyway, and the purpose of punishment will not be achieved at all. Putting them together may have a chemical effect.” 078 said: “Isn’t there a rule that says that if there is a problem in the confinement room or it is completely unable to meet the needs of use, it can be adjusted appropriately. This includes merging.”

021: “…”

In fact, we have done this kind of thing before, so we have no experience.But 078 is timid when it comes to 021, and always likes to give all the reasons when making suggestions to appear more convincing.

Look, didn’t 021 be shocked today?

Uh… maybe it was too much.

078 thought.

A few seconds later, Miss Gan Jian personally sent Youhuo into the No. 2 solitary confinement room with a cold face that said she was going to cripple her colleagues.

“No matter what, be careful.” She said to Youhuo with her back to the door.

After saying that, he turned around and went to find 078 to visit his grave.

In Confinement Room No. 2, the scene of ruins has spread.

The sky is still extremely high, the air is chilly, and the windbreaks in the distance are still quiet.

It’s not much different from last time, but there are some changes in details.

Like those stacked metal tubes.

Last time, there was not much rust on the surface of the metal pipe. It was considered the newest and cleanest thing in this ruins.

This time, there were three more red marks on the metal pipe.

Qin Jiu bent down in front of the metal pipe and reached out to touch it.

As expected, it was dried blood.

Not only on the metal pipe, there are also some similar marks on the ground under he’s feet…

Qin Zhu rubbed his fingers and was slightly lost in thought.

After a period of confinement, he seemed to have a clearer impression of this scene.

This change he himself was not aware of until now projected in the confinement room.Because the performance here is more intuitive and has some more details that were not available last time.

•

Qin Zhu stared at the blood stains and pondered for a moment, then sat down on the metal pipe in his memory.

Once in this position, the three blood marks will match his.

It was as if he had blood on his finger and smeared it on the surface of the tube.As for the ones on the ground… they dripped from his chest.

…

While lost in thought, there were birds circling in the windbreak forest in the distance.

Then the sky darkened.

he took out Zhao Wentu’s mobile phone from his coat pocket, but looked towards the horizon.

It was clear and bright there, with no dark clouds or thunderstorms, but the sky was still getting darker.

It was as if the parked time was suddenly sped up, from early morning to dusk to early nightfall, and the whole process only took a dozen seconds.

But he soon reacted.

This is not that time is changing, but that another person enters here, and everything around him begins to slowly darken.

Fortunately, it was not completely dark, and it stopped at the last moment of the evening.

•

Footsteps were heard not far away, and the rustling movement was very light, which did not destroy the tranquility of the ruins.

Qin Jiu looked towards where the sound came from…

There was a gap at the base of the wall there, and the metal protective net was broken and bent, forming a damaged doorway that was partially blocked by machines and stacked scrap products.

Youhuo turned around from behind the pile of machines, his tall figure leaving an unclear outline in the night.

He raised his hand against the curled protective net, bowed his body and walked in through the doorway. He raised his eyes and met Qin Zhu’s eyes.

He walked closer slowly and stopped in front of the metal pipe.

This scene is so similar to the fragment in my memory…

Even though he knew that the time was wrong and the person was wrong, Qin Zhu was still stunned for a moment.

As a result, Youhuo glanced around and broke the silence: “Are you afraid of staying alone in the suburbs?”

Qin Jiu came back to his senses instantly: “…”

Needless to say, the scenes are quite similar.

He chuckled deep in his throat without retorting.Instead, he glanced around again and asked Youhuo: “What about you, are you afraid of the dark?”

Youhuo: “…”

Qin Zhu stretched out his long legs and patted the metal pipe to signal You Huo to sit down.

Just as You Huo was about to bend down, he saw the traces of blood.

At that moment, an extremely repulsive emotion suddenly emerged.It was obviously something that had dried up long ago, but it was indescribably dazzling.

“Did you do it?” he suddenly asked.

“No.”

Qin Jiu answered quickly, almost subconsciously.

After saying that, he was stunned for a moment, feeling a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.

The blood was indeed his, but it was old marks from many years ago, so it wouldn’t be a big deal to admit it.He didn’t understand why he denied it just now.

But since it was rejected, he continued: “It was there when I came here. I don’t know who left it here.”

Youhuo stared at the traces for a while, and the feeling of repulsion still lingered.

He straightened up, took two steps, and randomly found a scrap machine to sit down on.

The overwhelming coverage that 021 mentioned did not happen, and the frightening chemical reaction that 078 expected also did not happen.

There are no two hes here, and there are no two Qinjus either.

There is only a ruin half-covered by darkness…

The scenes between the two of them actually merged without any conflict, and were extremely calm.

“Does the phone belong to Zhao Wentu?” You Huo’s eyes fell on Qin Zhu’s hand.

“Well, he left it for me last time. But it wasn’t used for too long and it couldn’t be turned on for a while.” Qin Zhu said.

Youhuo said, “I see you’ve been struggling for a long time, but it doesn’t work?”

Qin Zhu said: “It’s much better than last time. At least it can jump out of the startup screen.”

“Then what?”

“Then? Automatically enter the shutdown process.”

“…”

Youhuo watched he fiddle with it for a moment and asked, “What did you want to say when you called me over?”

Qin Jiu: “I asked you to come over? When?”

Youhuo: “…the one with the twitching eyes is a ghost?”

Qin Jiu said “Oh” and pretended to have just remembered: “I am just considerate of some candidates. As an experienced invigilator and an obvious insider, I decided to satisfy your curiosity, so you can give me a reminder. If you have anything to ask, you can come to the solitary room.”

Hearing the words “invigilator” and “informant”, You Yu’s eyes moved.

021 spoke too hastily, those things have just begun to be digested.

There are indeed problems.This is also the purpose of he and come over.

“How safe is the confinement room?” You Huo asked.

Qin Jiu took off his watch and unbuttoned his cufflinks, revealing his thin wrists.I saw a small indicator light embedded in the wrist joint downward from the thumb, about the size of a grain of rice.

“It’s so safe that I can reveal all the secrets here, and this thing won’t light up.” Qin Zhu said, “This is the only place in the system that doesn’t have eyes and ears. It’s completely different from the examination room.”

After he finished speaking, he added: “Within the known range.”

“Why?” Youhuo said.

Qin Jiu: “Because of some original rules, the system can intervene on its own, but it cannot interfere with the candidates.”

“So to a certain extent, in this examination system, candidates are the ones who have more freedom. What you are thinking in your mind and what you want to do are not controlled by the system. You have the right to behave peacefully and you have the right to violate the rules. You only need to bear the corresponding consequences.”

“The confinement room is the examinee’s world, a place created based on the examinee’s memory and fear. According to the rules of non-intervention, the system cannot sneak in and actively pry.”

“What about the invigilator -” Youhuo frowned as he said this: “What does your expression mean?”

Qin Zhu shrugged: “No, I just suddenly found your statement very interesting.”

“What do you mean?”

Qin Jiu said: “I thought you would ask ‘What about you’? This represents a subconscious group division, so can I understand it as -”

Youhuo interrupted expressionlessly: “No.”

Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at he for a moment, then said with a half-smile, “Okay. Invigilators are different from candidates, he…”

This person also added an accent to the word “he” as he spoke, and Youhuo’s expression suddenly became salty.

“They are defaulted by the system as part of itself, and can intervene when necessary, including behavior, including here.” Qin Zhu tapped his temple with his knuckles.

Youhuo: “To what extent does the intervention go?”

Qin Zhu was silent for a moment and said: “It can be to any degree, maybe a short time, maybe a long time. Maybe it’s just interfering with a certain idea, maybe it’s an entire memory.”

He narrowed his eyes in the night, and then said: “There may be something wrong with the whole person. There was a saying a long time ago that the first few invigilators were not normal people…”

Youhuo tilted his head, his expression blurred in the night: “The first few? Including the examiner A you mentioned?”

Qin Jiu: “Those headed by he, whether they are normal or not is another matter. It is also debatable whether they are human beings.”

Youhuo: “…”

He stepped on a handle of the machine as a pedal, and his other long leg hung down.He just looked at Qin Zhu quietly for a moment, then moved his lips: “I remember you said that you and Examiner A are incompatible?”

“That’s what others said.” Qin Zhu thought of the disappearing car lights in the memory fragment and added: “But it’s really not that good.”

Youhuo looked at he expressionlessly for a moment, and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Has your brain been interfered with?”

Qin Jiu: “?”

The author has something to say: There was something wrong when I came back from overtime last night. I coded too late and my hand speed was very poor. I kept grinding until this morning. I’m sorry.

I’ll catch the high-speed train back today and write the next chapter when I get home~ I’ve been on a business trip every week in November and haven’t passed the weekend, so the update time is messy. Thank you everyone for putting up with me for so long~ I’ll work hard in December, okay~
