[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 149 [English]

Chapter 149 Resting Place No. 2┃Youhuo: “Compensate me.”

Youhuo regained consciousness at the end of that year. After the emergency treatment, he was transferred to Munich where he continued to recuperate.

After another four months, Qin Jiu, who had repeatedly been on the verge of death, was finally out of danger and opened his eyes at the medical center within the system.

In response to this sudden change, the system issued an announcement explaining that it was a serious bug, and then confined all candidates to the rest area, the invigilator to the invigilation area, closed all examination rooms, and conducted the longest self-test and adjustment in history.

After the repair period of the main control center passed, the system reached out to the invigilator, all the original rankings were abolished, and all serial numbers were scrambled and reset.

Chu Yue was removed from the title of proctor and transferred to the most remote resting place.She was not surprised. After all, she had discussed with A a long time ago the consequences of “rebellion”.In addition, the proctor who is familiar with them is far-distanced and downgraded.

The system is like a paranoia, moving around, and the ones who move the most are the initial proctors, because they are the people most familiar with it.

As a result, rumors continued to spread in the invigilation area, and everyone was speculating about what happened and what happened to Examiner A and Examiner Gin.

In view of the fact that the two people always behave incompatible with each other externally, most people’s guess is that one person always does something, and the other person tries his best to stop it, and both sides suffer in the end.There are also a very few people who say that they might unite at a critical moment.

Until the system gradually cleared away traces of Examiner A and set Qin Zu’s ranking as 001, all speculations finally came to an end.

Because there is no need to guess anymore, this result can explain everything.

Before leaving the medical center, Qin Jiu had become a thorn in the side of many initial proctors.

Examiner A’s former friend Gao Qi drank all day long and was in a state of confusion. One time he drank too much and almost caused a scene in the special care ward. He soon became known as the “cradle number 1006” among the invigilators.

Soon after, the system selected a group of people from the candidates to join the team of invigilators.A girl who came out of the military academy asked to be in the 001 group, but she failed to do so.She was eventually assigned to the ninth group, and entered the invigilator’s upper area with one person’s instructions, number 021.

A month later, Qin Jiu was discharged from the hospital and became the new chief invigilator.The system screened out the second batch of new examiners from the candidates, and the system fragments released by Qin Zhu were mixed in. He became one of 001’s earliest subordinates, numbered 154.

A few months later, candidate Wen Yuan was transferred as an invigilator by chance, and also became a subordinate of 001, numbered 922.

From that day on, no matter where Examiner 001 went, there would always be these two figures beside him.

They followed Qin Zhu and dealt with the daily affairs that the examiner needed to deal with. They held countless meetings, saw mountains of records and files that filled the screen, and walked through more than two hundred examination rooms.

Then one day, while randomly selecting an exam room, 154 saw a familiar figure among the countless people waiting to take the exam. He did not hesitate to set the target of proctoring there——

The examinee’s name is Youhuo, and he is Examiner A who was removed from the system.

The time in the system is chaotic.

Often after ten days in the examination room, when I return to the rest area, the calendar has just turned a page.Resting place No. 1 has moved to late autumn, and No. 2 may still be early spring.Only by standing on the street in the invigilation area can you see the shadow of the flow of time, because this place is least affected by various examination rooms, and the sun and moon are almost consistent with reality.

The invigilators are used to this kind of chaos. The time is calculated according to where the person is. They will glance at their mobile phones every day, every minute, every second.But when we talk about “year”, it must be based on the time in the invigilation area.

That night in the mountains, Qin Zhu held a violation notice and pushed open the door of the hunter’s cabin in the wind and snow.

A room full of candidates looked at him anxiously, with one exception.

He saw that person at a glance. Under the bright yellow fire, he looked like a handful of stray snow.

At that moment, three years had passed since they separated.

Three years, to You Huo, were countless long days and nights when he was blind, and then more than 700 days spent alone.For Qin Zhu, including those in the examination room and rest area, there were more than two thousand days in total.

Two thousand three hundred and twelve days, they met in the cold wind and snow.

I thought it was the first meeting, but it was actually a reunion.

…

Memories came back one after another, and they were all squeezed into the chest, and my heart swelled and hurt. I couldn’t tell whether it was too full or too heavy.

The fire in the core area was shut behind the door by 154, but the heat wave continued unabated.Maybe the temperature was too high, and the fire just now was too strong, which stung people’s eyes and made them sore and hot.

Youhuo lowered his head and took a few heavy breaths, clenching his hands hanging by his sides into fists.The air rushed into the lungs, but it did not make the heart feel lighter.Satisfaction and pain exist at the same time, squeezing each other, with no place to settle, and no way to dissolve.

He closed his eyes for a while, then raised his eyes, and saw Qin Zhu raising his head, his protruding Adam’s apple sliding twice on his neck. Something deep wrapped around He, like invisible fire, which would soon burn over.Qin Zhu finally looked over, his eyes red.

Suddenly someone screamed: “Brother, your hands!”

You Huo lowered his head and saw that the back of his right hand was blood red – the cleaning program that happened every 10 seconds had started again, and the red light moved over.The back of his hand was just touched, and it was dripping with blood. But at that moment, all he could see was Qin Zhu, and he didn’t feel any pain.

The body temperature of another person comes over.

“Go out first.” Qin Jiu’s voice was hoarse and whispered in He’s ear.

The next second, they stepped on the tail of the red light and crashed into the third door.

The scene inside the door was completely different from the main control center in his memory. Youhuo did not see the familiar woods, nor the metal fortress with the word NA painted on it, nor the shadow of the city in the distance.

This looks like a semi-enclosed laboratory, with a screen and a simplified main console on one side, and a fog always covering the other side.

“After what happened to you, the main control center was cut off, and the core ones are no longer here.” 154 explained while driving a road directly to the rest area as quickly as possible.

It only takes a moment to recover the memory, but it takes a long time to digest it.In those few minutes, almost everyone whose memory changed was confused.Those with smaller changes can still come back to their senses, while those with big changes, such as 922, were dragged along by Yu Wen and Lao Yu throughout the process.

They were divided into three groups and finally met at the third door.

There was also a circle of red in Chu Yue’s eyes. She looked at Qin Zhu for a while and then at You Huo for a while, and asked softly: “Are you okay?”

They nodded.

When Youhuo heard what he said, Chu Yue let out a long breath.

154 took some time out of his busy life to look back, looked over and asked something else, and he also answered.

He and Qin Zhu must have looked very calm, so that Lao Yu and Yu Wen came over to look at them worriedly for a while, and then moved away with relief.

But in fact, you Huo had no impression of what they said and did.

He could only feel a fire standing next to him, burning all the time.He himself is probably the same.

They just restrained all their personal emotions in front of others and suppressed them tightly.This matter may be too difficult for others, but it is not for them, because a long time ago, they were doing such things every day.

The road to the resting place opened quickly and went surprisingly smoothly.

154 frowned and muttered repeatedly: “It’s strange, there is no alarm program triggered, and there is no too complicated defense. It shouldn’t be…”

Wu Li asked: “How difficult would it be under normal circumstances?”

“That’s not what I’m saying. After all, no one would be so bold as to mess around here, so it can’t be said to be a normal situation. But…” 154 said: “I thought the system would at least open a few additional attack and defense programs, but it didn’t.”

Along the way, 154 has been clearing traces as quickly as possible.It cannot be ruled out that he cleaned up too quickly, and they were lucky enough, so the final trouble level of the system was not too high, so they did not spend too much effort.

But… this possibility is really too small.

154 is more convinced that it was intentional and that it had other plans.

But right now, we don’t have that much time to think about this. Now that we have reached this point, it is too late to turn back, and it is not in line with our character. It is better to continue according to the plan.

They passed through the fog one after another, and in the process, 154 were all worried.I’m afraid that halfway through, the system will suddenly wake up and cut off the channel, scattering them.

In fact, they are still going well.

When everyone emerged from the thick fog, they saw silver-gray high-rise buildings, metal towers, and large warehouse-like buildings with some simple row buildings in the middle. At first glance, they looked like school or military dormitories.Those row buildings are surrounded by courtyard walls, and there are metal signs hanging on the outside of the walls, with black words engraved on them: Rest Center Hotel.

Yu Wen heard that it was their first time here, and they were stunned for a long time with their mouths open before asking: “What is the resting place number? What is it for?”

154 said: “No. 2, also known as the weapons depot.”

“Did you ask us to get the equipment?”

“Equipment is one aspect, not just because of this.” 154 explained: “It’s also because this place is special.”

While they were talking, Youhuo raised his eyes and looked further away.

There, three silver-gray tall buildings sandwich a tower made of steel bars and metal skin, which is the most iconic building here.A long time ago, when You Huo was Examiner A, he would often see the shadows of these buildings in the smoke.

But not here, but in the former main control center.

Every time he walked through the woods, passed through the circle of metal mesh, and walked towards the metal fortress of the main control center, Youhuo would glance at the sky. There were shadows of tall buildings there, which often reminded people of a city shrouded in fog in the early morning.

That shadow is resting place No. 2.

The last time Youhuo looked at it from afar was three years ago. He held the program button for partial self-destruction in his hand. There was smoke in front of him and a large amount of blood behind him.He closed his eyes in the sky, pressed the button, and an intense sting suddenly bloomed in his eyes.

He bent down at that moment, and stood upright again a moment later.He pursed his lips and opened his eyes in the continuous pain.The sky is getting darker, and the shadows of tall buildings in the distance have become blurry.He will soon be out of sight, but he knows that in the other corner of the ruins, someone is still waiting for him.he needs to walk over properly and take one more look before the light disappears completely.

…

“What’s so special about it?” Yu Wen was still chirping.

“Specially, you can connect to the main control center here, as long as you have permission and know the way.” 154 said.

“Really?!” Yu Wen was a little excited: “Then let’s get some weapons now?”

154 said: “Not yet, you are all considered gangsters now, and the sirens will sound as soon as you enter the weapons depot. Find a place to stay first and give me some time.”

He led everyone around the regular hotel, passed through two abandoned areas, and walked to a row of dilapidated buildings and said, “This is a former hotel. It looks shabby, but it’s actually okay inside. I can provide you with water and electricity.”

“Hotel? How did it become like this?”

“Because when these two rebelled, they got a lot of weapons from here and entered the main control center. They took the road to the hotel.” 154 pointed at Qin Zhu and You Huo and said, “The system scrapped this place in anger.”

“Can we still go to the main control center from here?”

“What a beautiful idea.” 154 said: “Of course we have to find the entrance again.”

“Are you sure there is still an entrance?” Yang Shu said, “If it were me, I wouldn’t kill him.”

“So you are not the system.” 154 said: “The main control center must ensure sufficient ordnance firepower support. For the system, the risk of reopening an entrance was even smaller before.”

“Let’s make do with one night here. I’ll open the mask and wait for everyone to gather.”

Everyone went upstairs one after another, 154 opened all the rooms, lights and the sound of rushing water appeared at the same time.Their tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and the fatigue that had accumulated for a long time swept over them.

922 was still confused, 154 couldn’t stand it anymore and dragged him into a room.

The entire corridor suddenly became quiet. All the “others” had left, except for You Huo and Qin Zhu.

The moment their eyes met, the fire burned instantly.

From the time when the candidate Qin Jiu took the information and stared at the examiner A until now, they have known each other for five years, but in fact these five years have been nearly four thousand days, which is equivalent to ten years in reality.

In the four thousand days, they spent less than half of the time in the system together, the days they had intersection were less than 600 days, and the number of days they spent alone together was even less.

There are no people less like lovers than they are.

They struggled through the door and onto the table.

…

Qin Zhu’s narrow eyes were half-closed, sunk in the shadows of his brow bones and the bridge of his nose, and he could still see the redness under his eyes.

Moist sweat dripped down the clear muscle texture and fell on the other person.

You Huo grabbed the back of He’s neck and gasped, arching his waist, his voice muffled by Qin Zhu’s kiss.

Qin Zhu kissed he’s slightly opened lips, the moist slits of his half-open eyes, and the Adam’s apple on his neck, and said hoarsely: “I did this four years ago, kissed these places…I actually forgot.”

“My big examiner is so good, I actually forgot about it.”

Forgot twice.

The other party remembers one of these times…

Youhuo tensed his waist and clearly felt his presence. Under his movements, a mist filled his eyes.

He looked down at Qin Zhu while breathing heavily.Light-colored eyes are naturally cold, and under this coldness there is a hint of love and desire.

“Make it up to me,” he said.

A long time ago, someone touched the corners of his eyes and said: Do you still feel uncomfortable here?After you leave the system, I will accompany you to check your eyes again.

Later, this person left for a while, and when he came back, he was the only one who remembered this sentence.

Later, when he left the system and was admitted to the hospital one day, the doctor blindfolded him, and even he himself forgot that sentence.

But after the long darkness passed, on the day when the gauze was untied, he stood by the window of the nursing home, watching the skylight change from dazzling to peaceful, and suddenly felt that something was missing around him.

It was the end of the year, and I heard the nurse chattering beside me saying that Santa Maria Square was very lively, but other than there, other places were becoming deserted, and the shops were always closed. New Year was coming.

Outside the nursing home is an empty street corner. Looking there, he sometimes feels a little familiar.

The little nurse asked him why he was distracted, and he said it was nothing.

he just felt like he had seen such a quiet street before. It was not yet dark yet and there was no one on the street.It must have been the beginning of a new year, and it was snowing outside. He strode towards his residence, as if… he wanted to go back and meet someone.

…

Fortunately, after wandering around for so long, he finally saw it.
