    Chapter 159 The last punishment┃ He has seen a person who is bright and fiery. With this, he can go through the entire winter.

    It was obviously just a suburban sentry tower, but the moment it collapsed, the entire examination room trembled.

    The scene on the top of the mountain was split for an instant. It was as if the familiar metal mesh and warehouse-type buildings could be seen through the dust and fog. The top of the building was mottled white paint with the words NA 7232 painted on it.

    That is the hidden main control center.

    The other person is not clear, but You Huo and Qin Zhu can recognize it at a glance.

    The flying dust is so hot that it can burn your skin when it touches it.

    Youhuo raised his hand to block it. He could feel the sting through his tactical gloves, but he stepped forward without hesitation.

    Just as he was about to get closer, the scene in the main control center flickered a few times with tremors, like a video recording with poor signal.

    Immediately afterwards, the system’s voice resounded throughout the entire examination room:

    [Candidates deliberately damaged the core building of the examination room, which has caused serious violations. Since there is no invigilation office for this examination, in accordance with the rules of the examination room, punishment shall be imposed on the spot.】

    [Penalty time: three hours.】

    [The timer officially starts.】

    As soon as he finished speaking, there were constant gasps from the crowd.

    Youhuo felt a tingling sensation in his left arm.When he looked down, he saw that there was a wound there instantly, superimposed on the old wound. Dark red blood flowed out and soon wetted the cuffs rolled up on his elbows.

    This wound was the same as before, like it was cut by flying shrapnel.

    He raised his eyes and saw that Qin Jiu also had a cut on his arm.Looking around again, the left arms of everyone present were bloody.

    Yu Wen grabbed his arms and jumped around, screaming fiercely.Di Li was embarrassed, bared his teeth and remained silent.

    Zhao Jiatong reacted the fastest and got into the car to get bandages for everyone.The faces of Gao Qi, 922, and 021 are similar to those of You Huo Qin Zhu, which is not good…

    Not because of the pain.He, this group of people have seen all kinds of scenes, and few of them are afraid of pain.

    The reason why his face looks ugly is because he can’t find the source of the injury.

    “Did something fly by just now?” Gao Qi tore off his sleeve and wiped the blood randomly.

    021 maintained a high degree of vigilance, her dark and beautiful eyes were very bright in the night, she glanced around and said: “No.”

    “I didn’t see it either.” 922 turned around and asked, “Boss, did you see it?”

    Qin Jiu shook off the blood and shook his head: “Nothing.”

    You Huo frowned, his face getting colder.

    There was no attack, no stray bullets, and no warning. More than 700 people were injured at the same time.This is much scarier than the visible and tangible dangers.

    You Huo took the bandage handed over by Zhao Jiatong and was about to wrap it up when he saw that the wound was slowly closing again, the blood had coagulated, and in the blink of an eye, the scar formed and fell off again.

    If it weren’t for the blood stains on his sleeves and the lingering pain, he would have suspected that the wound just now was an illusion.

    There was another burst of exclamations from the crowd.Apparently, he wasn’t the only one whose wounds healed.

    “What kind of punishment is this?” someone asked amidst gasps.

    This question was not answered, because before everyone had time to think about it, new injuries appeared on their bodies.

    This time it’s on the side of the neck.

    The neck is the most fragile and critical part. The timid candidates turned pale when they covered the side of their necks.

    Some people were desperately holding on to the wound, looking horrified, fearing that the next time it would be directly across the artery, they would really be buried here.

    Fortunately, the injury this time did not last long. It disappeared again after a few seconds, leaving only pain.

    My arms hurt and my neck hurt.Many candidates care about the beginning but not the end. They simply don’t know where to cover first.

    In just a few minutes, small wounds continued to appear on their bodies, and they continued to heal. There were more and more uncomfortable places, and everyone’s complexion became worse and worse.

    Soon after, a girl burst out screaming.

    At that moment, everyone felt a pain in the left chest and a sharp pain in the wrist.The sudden severe pain caught people off guard. They clutched their collars and bent over in pain.Some even fell to their knees, resting their foreheads on the ground, gasping for air.

    How to describe that kind of pain…

    It was like someone was holding an invisible knife. The sharp blade broke through the skin and drove into the heart inch by inch.

    Even Youhuo took a step back, leaned his back against the tree trunk, lowered his head and closed his eyes.

    He opened his eyes after a while, but his vision became blurry due to the pain, making it difficult to focus.He could only see blood pouring out from his heart, melting on his shirt, and covering half of his body in the blink of an eye.

    This feeling was not unfamiliar to him. When he tried to kill the Duke in the castle, he had done something like this – holding Qin Jiu’s hand and pressing the dagger into his chest.

    He could even recall the feeling of his heart beating against a knife blade, exactly the same as now.

    Those minutes felt like an eternity, and it was hard to tell if the blood was still flowing because there was no empty space left on the shirt.

    It should have stopped, Youhuo thought.

    Because a new injury has come again.

    There were large wounds on his arms, shoulders, and waist. They spread and deepened at a speed visible to the naked eye until the bones were exposed.It slowly came back and was all healed.

    And then there are the eyes…

    When the world plunged into darkness amid the sharp sting, the feeling at that moment was still familiar.

    Then, long and short cuts appeared on his shoulder bones, back, and arms. The most dangerous one cut across his thin jawbone, and fell along his neck to his collarbone.

    Every opening was covered with a layer of frost, as if it was in an extremely cold environment.

    This is the most painful injury and also the cleanest.Because the blood has solidified before it even flows out.

    Youhuo suddenly understood what this punishment was.

    Someone started crying, and he vaguely heard the crying.The wounds appeared and disappeared, but the pain was always there, layer upon layer, until someone finally couldn’t hold on anymore.

    The moans and sobs spread like a rising tide.

    Suddenly, it seemed like everyone was falling apart.

    Cold sweat slipped from his temples. You Huo blinked his temporarily blind eyes and pursed his pale lips into a straight line.

    he suddenly felt a little sorry…

    At that moment, someone’s finger touched his face very lightly.

    Then the arms, shoulders…

    Someone groped over in the darkness, lowered his head in a hugging gesture, and asked in a dumb voice: “Are you looking back, Great Examiner?”

    “Is this punishment looking back on the injuries you suffered?”

    Youhuo’s lips moved.

    Qin Jiu’s fingers fell on he’s closed eyes, so lightly that he seemed to dare not touch them.He’s voice was hoarse, low and dry: “Have your eyes ever hurt like this…”

    After a while, Youhuo said hoarsely: “It’s okay.”

    “There are also these frostbites.” Qin Zhu touched his chin with his finger, “When did this happen? Why are there so many…and I don’t know about it at all?”

    The sense of blindness slowly subsided, and You Huo was adapting to the reappearing world.

    He vaguely saw light, a very small point, like a star far away.When everything was finally clear, he discovered that it came from Qin Jiu’s eyes.

    You Huo relieved the pain and suddenly leaned over to kiss Qin Zhu.

    He stepped aside slightly and said: “It was an injury a long time ago. Before you entered the system, I forgot the reason. You were not careful in training.”

    Qin Jiu had the same injuries on his body, and what he had experienced, Qin Jiu had also experienced it.

    When wounds appear on his body, he can turn a blind eye.But when it appears on the other side, it makes people uncomfortable.

    He wants to end this quickly.

    You Huo rested against Qin Ju’s shoulder for a while, then straightened up again: “The punishment will last for three hours, and it’s not even half yet.”

    He turned around and looked around. Most of the people could no longer bear it. They were kneeling or huddled up, almost in shock from the pain.Only the invigilators could retain any semblance of sobriety.

    “We can’t go on like this. We have to go in.” He turned his eyes to the collapsed sentry tower again. The image of the main control center came and went, becoming more and more unstable.

    Qin Jiu pinched the bridge of his nose heavily. Repeated injuries made both of them look tired.

    He raised his eyes and looked at the top of the mountain and said: “Do you remember the scene with the mirror man? 154 tried to move us to the additional examination room. The scene on the street was like this. That time it was because of program interference and it was not stable enough. This time it is just the opposite…”

    He frowned, and a new injury appeared, and the pain became worse.He breathed out lightly and continued: “The system is trying to stabilize this examination room and hide the main control center again.”

    The two of them tried to get closer to the place while talking.

    The main control center is like a bad contact, always fleeting and never appearing for more than a second.

    Qin Jiu took out his cell phone and realized that 154 had been trying to contact them during that period.

    “Boss, there has been no reply from 922. I tried to establish contact with your mobile phone. Can you receive it?”』

    “Boss, how are you doing?”』

    “Have you entered the main control center?”』

    “I’m trying to think of a way to invade the examination room. Give me some time.”』

    For 154, all competitions with the system itself are risks.

    Qin Jiu immediately replied:

    “It’s too dangerous to invade. We won’t use it for the time being. Just help create a little chaos. Let’s try to enter the main control center.”』

    Soon, the other party responded with a message, concise and to the point:

    “Okay.』

    In the abandoned apartment in the rest area, Chu Yue moved her fingers and said to 154: “Create a little chaos and make the examination room unstable, right?”

    154 nodded: “Yes, do you have an idea?”

    “There is no need to touch the core of the system. As long as you occupy the broadcast system as before.” Chu Yue said.

    “What do you want to do?”

    “It’s a big deal.” Chu Yue sat up straight, picked up the team book and said, “A left the registration book to me just because he wanted me to use it at a critical moment. It’s almost time.”

    “Who are you reporting to this time?” 154 asked.

    Chu Yue shook her notebook and said, “The whole system, everyone.”

    154’s expression was as if he was in panic. After a moment, he slowly gave a thumbs up and said, “You guys are really crazy.”

    Five minutes later, an invitation to team up resounded throughout the system.Everyone in the invigilation area, rest area, and tens of thousands of exam rooms heard this invitation.

    As soon as the invitation was sent out, 154 and Chu Yue waited for the response on the screen in front of them.

    At this moment, every minute seems particularly long.

    They waited for a long time, and just when they thought they were going to find another way, a piece of information suddenly appeared on the screen.

    The sender of the information is invigilator 061, and the content is:

    “There are 4 candidates in the 9213 examination room who have voluntarily joined the team. Together with the proctors 061 and 279, there are a total of 6 people. The list is as follows——”

    Followed by six unfamiliar names.

    This piece of information was like pressing a switch, and more information poured in one after another, and the screen scrolled into pieces.

    “There are a total of 11 people in the 0812 examination room.』

    『There are a total of 8 people in the 0227 examination room.』

    “There are a total of 28 people in the 1139 examination room.』

    In the examination room, You Huo and Qin Jiu stood under the fragments of the white sentry tower.

    The scene in the main control center has not appeared for several minutes, as if the system has forcibly stabilized the examination room and worked hard to stitch up the crack.

    At this moment, the entire examination room suddenly began to tremble again, like a rumbling earthquake.

    You Huo wiped the blood from his lips and looked at Qin Zhu.

    This movement was unexpectedly loud, and they were curious about what method 154 used.

    Suddenly, Qin Zhu caught a glimpse of a dark shadow in his peripheral vision, and his head that he had just turned away turned back again.

    He squinted for a moment, then raised the sight on the weapon to confirm. Then he touched You Huo’s face, pointed in the distance and said, “Honey, look over there.”

    You Huo was stunned after just one glance.

    Just at the edge of the forest, a huge number of figures appeared out of thin air. Just a rough count… forget it, I can’t count them at all.

    Qin Zhu’s phone vibrated again. He lowered his head and saw the information of 154:

    “They all joined the team voluntarily. As of now, there are 3642 people in total. It’s been a long wait, boss.』

    Youhuo’s first reaction was actually what the system said: “This examination room is single-person, and other candidates are not allowed to enter the examination room.”】

    But he understood in an instant that since they had all joined the team, these 3642 people were all he, and there were no other he candidates at all.

    This move may seem excessive at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it does not violate the rules.

    The examination room, which can only accommodate one examinee, is crowded with more than 4,000 people. It is difficult to maintain stability.

    As new team members continue to join and there are more and more people, the ground tremors become more and more severe.

    Ten seconds later, the scene of the main control center finally appeared again at the place where the white sentry tower collapsed. It was still flashing, but the stay time was finally extended.

    Qin Jiu put away his phone and tilted his head, and the two of them walked there side by side.

    Each of them stood at the entrance of the main control center, like two bridges, forcibly and firmly connecting the main control center and the examination room.

    The large group of candidates could finally follow up with peace of mind and poured into the center along the entrance.

    For You Huo and Qin Zhu, the process of guarding the entrance is actually very difficult. Different spaces grab your left and right hands and tear them in two directions.Every joint hurts, like countless blades being blown by the wind.

    The junction is also cold, as if the blood in the body has been drained, and there is no trace of heat anymore.

    The cold was accompanied by pain, like those frostbites that had appeared on my body before.

    In fact, You Huo lied. Those injuries were not before Qin Ju entered the system, but after Qin Ju left the system.

    That was the first time the system punished him, in the core area of ​​the Twin Buildings, for being in close contact with a candidate.The content of the punishment was to repair a seriously malfunctioning attack program, which was sealed in an abandoned examination room.

    There was a non-stop blizzard in the examination room, and what was even worse than the blizzard was the indiscriminate attack from the program.

    It was probably the coldest place he had ever been in his life.

    He was injured all over and had 12 attack points disabled in the program.The moment he was able to breathe, maybe it was because the world was too quiet. He somehow suddenly remembered the scene when he saw Qin Jiu for the first time——

    The man stood on the edge of the red tile roof and looked down, his eyes filled with light, like the blazing sun.

    Examiner A that day stood alone in the blizzard, pulling on the straps wrapped around his fingers, standing straight and tired.

    He thought, he had seen a bright and fiery person, and relying on this, he could go through all the cold winters.
