Global Examination

Qin Chen, who became the proctor, was still a troublesome existence.As far as the system is concerned, he may have developed a rebellious nature-he took violations as food when he was an examinee, and he still does the same when he is an examiner.

When he broke the rules for the fourth time, the system couldn't take it anymore.Under the premise that the rules allow, it adds a punishment mechanism, punishing him to take another exam.

Since you want to participate in the exam, it is equivalent to a temporary candidate.To be an examinee, you need an examination admission ticket, and the person who was responsible for getting him a spare examination admission ticket was A, the chief examiner at the time.

What the others didn't know was that on the day when the admission ticket was set, Qin Chen himself was there, and it was Examiner A who informed him to go.

The admission ticket is set in the core area of ​​the system, the main control center.That was the first time Qin Chen officially stood in front of that metal door. Before he got close, the system issued a red alarm.

Qin Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you been poisoned?"

[Non-proctors are prohibited from entering the main control center. 】

The system said rigidly.

"Not allowed to enter?" Examiner A said: "Then how do you give him an identity verification? Without identity verification, the admission ticket is just a waste."

Qin Chen looked over with a hint of surprise on his expression.

He had experienced Examiner A's temper before, but he didn't expect that the other party would speak to the system in such a tone.

But the system seems to be used to it, and just stubbornly emphasizes:

[The invigilator Gin has insufficient authority. 】

"Are you fined or not?" Examiner A was a little impatient.

[Penalty. 】

"Then give him permission."

His tone was cold and tough, and the system was quiet for a few seconds.

Qin Chen actually read a trace of grievance from those few seconds of silence.

After a while, the system beeped again:

[You can open the permission, but it is forbidden to stay in the main control center for too long. 】

"how long?"

[No more than 10 minutes. 】

Examiner A nodded.

Immediately afterwards, a red light swept across Qin Chen, and the system said: [Examiner Gin has been added to the authority list. 】

The metal door slammed open, and the system said: [The countdown starts now, the remaining time is 19 minutes 59 seconds 59. 】

It's rare to see such a petty thing, Qin Chen almost laughed at it.

With that indifferent smile, he followed Examiner A into the door. He thought he would see a closed room like a laboratory, but he didn't expect that there was a forest behind the metal door.

Those tree branches are white, pointing straight to the sky, and the dense branches are intertwined. At first glance, they look like gray-blue smoke connected together.

Examiner A led Qin Chen through the woods, and there was a flat-roofed building in the distance, like a metal fortress or a heavily guarded experimental warehouse.

There are some discarded instruments and materials piled up outside the building, piled up high and low, and several cars are parked.The cars were painted camouflage, and the gray-green hoods were thick with dust.

The metal net was hooped around them, and when he got closer, Qin Chen saw several charred bird carcasses hanging on the net.

At the boundary of the field of vision, in a more distant place, tall buildings can be vaguely seen.Foggy, like a phantom of a city.

"This is the main control center?" Qin Chen stopped.

"Yes." Examiner A said.

Qin Chen glanced around, finally raised his head, and his eyes fell on the building in front of him.Warehouse... No, on the top of the rusty gate of the main control center, white paint is sprayed with huge words: NA7232.

"What does this mean?" He asked, pointing to the string of meaningless characters.

With examiner A's usual temper at the conference table, he is too lazy to answer such questions.Qin Chen was ready to be perfunctory, but heard examiner A say: "NA is an abbreviation, and the full name is Noah'sArk7232. The front is the code name, and the back is the area number."

Qin Chen inexplicably felt that this name looked familiar, as if he had seen it in a certain book or document.

"7232..." He read it again and asked, "Military area?"

"No."

Examiner A paused and said, "Accommodation area."

Qin Chen showed doubts.

Examiner A said: "Chu Yue and I..."

He said, and changed his words as if remembering something: "It is the residence of examiner Z a long time ago, the accommodation area of ​​a research center. The system took it and named it for the main control center."

Qin Chen looked at him, and suddenly remembered some rumors that Examiner A and Examiner Z had some connection with the system.But he never expected to hear this from Examiner A.

Today's examiner A is a bit abnormal.Without the attention of other people and the noise of the system, he seemed to be less repulsive.

To be precise, his edges and corners are still sharp and piercing, but they are no longer facing Qin Jiu.

The appearance of the main control center is old and mottled, and it may have borrowed the building of some research center, but inside it is a piece of cold metallic white and a huge screen.

Examiner A didn't touch those things, went straight to a console in the corner, turned on a small screen and followed the rules.

Qin Chen turned around, took a look at the things in the main control center, and then returned to examiner A.

He propped up the countertop with both hands, watching Examiner A's busyness in a rare way.

After a while, he suddenly asked, "Have you thought about changing sides?"

Examiner A paused with his fingers. His first reaction was not to look at Qin Chen, but at the four corners.

"Don't be so vigilant." Qin Chen said lazily, "I heard that the core area system is not monitored."

Examiner A let out a "huh", but he didn't become enthusiastic, and he still looked businesslike.

"Although you are the leader of the group opposite, sometimes I feel that it is more appropriate for you to come to our side." Qin Chen said, turning his eyes away from the busy fingers of the other party, looking at examiner A's side face and saying: "Would you consider changing your position?"

Examiner A didn't look at him, his eyes still fell on the screen, as if he was too busy to look away.

He said, "Don't think about it."

Qin Chen gave a soft "Oh" with a long tail.

He didn't speak for a while, and watched Examiner A input all kinds of information honestly.

"There are two more questions I've wanted to ask for a long time."

"Say."

"We are clearly enemies, why do you remember my information so clearly?" Qin Chen raised his chin towards 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 coldly, "Because I am the chief examiner."

"Ah yes, I almost forgot after arguing for a long time. To a certain extent, you are still my boss." Qin Chen raised the corner of his mouth and said again: "That's the last question."

Examiner A is adjusting the examination certificate number for him.

He watched the string of numbers generated, and asked in a leisurely manner, "Would you mind falling in love with my deadly rival and half-subordinate?"

Examiner A shook his hand and directly hit the OK button.

The card writer next to it beeped, Qin Chen picked up the completed card, and his eyes fell on the test admission ticket number.I saw that the end of the string of numbers was followed by two letters-Gi.

Qin Chen looked at it for two seconds, then laughed dumbfounded: "What is this? A new nickname for your opponent?"

Examiner A pursed his lips and looked at him with an extremely complicated expression at that moment.

After a while, he closed the screen with a "snap", rubbed Qin Chen's shoulders and walked towards the door, without turning his head, he said: "Make do with it, don't expect to change it."

After that, Qin Chen continued to test the extent of the system's loss of control through constant violations.

The more unscrupulous the hardliners are, the more "loyal" the moderates headed by examiner A will appear, and the authority given to A and Z by the system will become higher and higher.

This contrast makes the two parties with different positions even more intimidating.

It's strange, the more ruthless you are at the conference table, the stronger the ambiguity between Qin Chen and examiner A in private.Sometimes, Qin Chen 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 Chen could capture some kind of deep restraint and struggle in him.

For some reason, that feeling always made his heart feel sore, as if he knew the reason for those restraints and struggles.

Why...

Qin Chen once thought that he would never figure it out until he was sent to a special area to be punished.

That was Examiner Z Chu Yue's site, but for some reason, Chu Yue happened to be absent that day, so the person who sent him to be punished became Examiner A.

After the identity verification was passed and he was about to enter the punishment channel, Qin Chen caught a glimpse of a "previous item" at the bottom of the screen, indicating that someone else had been punished before him.

He clicked by accident, the screen turned a page forward, and the punishment record fell into the eyes of Qin Chen and examiner A.The punishment at that time would not cover up anyone's name, and everything was written clearly:

Offender: A

Violations: Too close relationship with examinee Qin Chen.

Punishment decision: white light area/single shot.

Others: At the request of A, the penalty is postponed for 5 days.

There are only a few dozen words, and the space on one page is not enough. Qin Chen suddenly understood everything when he saw examiner A's body froze suddenly.

He finally knew the reasons for those unexplained emotions, familiar scenes, and everything that made sense and didn't make sense.

Because he once had this person beside him, but he forgot about it.

That was Qin Chen's craziest time.After five days of punishment, he came out in six hours, silent, with blood all over his body and the flesh and blood on his right arm.

According to the rules, he was taken back to the confinement room of the residence by examiner A.As soon as the door was closed, he put A behind the door, and all emotions were resorted to those entanglements and kisses.Impulsive, depressive, intense, and affectionate...

***

He, Examiner A, and Chu Yue finally stood on the same road again, and began to secretly hide Chen Cang under the nose of the system.

That was really the best time - under the resistance of Qin Chen's hardliners, A and Chu Yue's authority reached the highest level ever.The correction program has been prepared, 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 blind, without eyes.

Since it has no eyes, it cannot judge some subtle facts, especially based on emotions and emotions.For example, when someone is doing something, is it with good intentions or malice?

Without accurate judgment, real-time instructions cannot be given.Therefore, the emergency procedures of the main control center are all in accordance with 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 damage, the attack and defense programs will be enhanced by one level.

Increased to level 4, this attack and defense program is no different from a "patrol grinder", anyone who stays in it is a dead end.

But there is an exception.

If the chief examiner is present, the system will naturally believe that the chief examiner is on the same side as it, and will help it prevent damage and repair it as soon as possible.

In order not to accidentally kill the chief examiner, the attack and defense programs will not be activated in the early stage.This procedure will only start if the damage degree reaches 50% and the chief examiner still fails to stop the decline.

That's what Qin Chen and the others came up with.

They've already figured it out——

In the presence of examiner A, the damage to the main control center reaches 50%, and the unlucky program will start. At this time, it is level 1.When the damage reaches 70%, it becomes level 2.At 90%, it becomes level 3, which is the upper ceiling.Because even if it reaches 100%, it cannot be upgraded to level 4, which is the most lethal.

In addition, when 70% of the main control center is paralyzed, the S group will come out.They can use the lethality of this unfortunate program to deal with that S group.

Qin Chen and examiner A plan to split up and destroy from both sides to the middle, which is faster and more efficient.

As long as it reaches 100%, the master control authority will fall into the hands of examiner A.

Then, all nightmares are over.

This was actually a sound plan, but an accident happened at a critical moment.

As soon as the damage level reached 30%, the system suddenly launched an attack program, and then frantically strengthened at a rate of every 10% level up.There is only one possibility for this to happen—

The system can see suddenly, and it occupies 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 banned, which is almost the same as total destruction, because this kind of disabled system cannot be automatically revoked.Unless someone with higher authority than the examiner manually activates it, but there is no invigilator with higher authority than A and Z in the entire invigilation area, who can do it?

They never figured it out.

Because before they find the answer, they run out of time.

Regarding that day, the clearest memory begins at the moment when the artillery fire ceased.

Qin Chen sat down on an overturned metal pipe, put his elbows on his knees, lowered his head and coughed muffledly, the blood flowed out from various wounds almost uncontrollably, and a large swath of dazzling bright red bloomed on his shirt.

He lowered his eyes, and flicked his eyelashes with his thumbs, sweeping 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 had come, whether the other party's footsteps were light or heavy, and how many injuries he suffered...

But it was too far away and too loud in his ears, he couldn't hear anything.

The smell of blood mixed with gunpowder smoke kept crashing into the nostrils.He sat for a while, reaching for the scarf.He folded the bloody place inside, wrapped it around the neck, and tucked the rest neatly into the neckline.

Pigeon gray velvet covered most of the blood, and at first glance it looked unscathed.

After doing this, Qin Chen finally supported the metal pipe and tried to stand up.As soon as he looked up, a figure appeared in his blurred vision

He blinked twice, trying to see more clearly, but it didn't work, instead he felt more dizzy.

During 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 thankful, thankful that he was still fast, and hid the embarrassment and blood stains 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 at all, but it didn't stop him from looking a little longer.

His big examiner's eyes seemed to be very red, and his lips seemed to be opening and closing as if talking.He leaned forward, trying to hear clearly, but the only sound in his ears was the lingering roar of the artillery fire.

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 Chen squinted his eyes, and brushed the other side's face with his fingers.

The moment he touched the body temperature, he suddenly began to feel reluctant.

Before all the plans were implemented, Qin Chen actually went to the core area of ​​the system quietly.

He had a taste of amnestics once, so before he acted, he went to the "Backup Center" to get a revoked permission, which he took a lot of trouble hiding in an earring.Then released the part of human nature that was cleared by the system, which was later 154.

It was also that day that he discovered 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 the right to immunity once. 』

According to their plan, Chu Yue will sit in the rear and not directly participate, so there will be no harsh punishment.But he is different from examiner A. Once they fail, the consequences are unpredictable.

And this rule is examiner A's life-saving talisman.

The reason why he hides is because he transferred this life-saving talisman to Qin Chen a long time ago.

That's why he called Qin Chen to the core area when he was making a temporary admission ticket.Only when Qin Chen's name appears on the authority list of the main control center, can he have the opportunity to do this.

After Qin Chen saw it, he quietly moved the immunity back.

……

The windbreak forest still has intertwined branches, with a misty gray-blue glow.

The sky is far away, and the wind carries the chill of early winter.

He smelled gunpowder smoke again, and he didn't know if it was from himself, or from A, or 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 we still remember that we had such a lover?

probably not...

Look, before he left, he had already started to miss her.
