Global Examination

Qin Chen moved away slightly, his eyes cast from his eyes, and fell on You Huo's lips.

They snorted heavily and crossed each other.

The warning sound has never been sounded for so long, it seems to be broken.

But no one cared about it.

"Examiner, you're out of breath." Qin Chen said in a low voice.

It is said that light-colored eyes are born with thin emotions.

But when these beautiful eyes reflected the lingering smoke, they were half-closed in the rapid breathing, and they were more humid and misty than the fog.

You Huo began to calm down, but with little effect.

After a while, he turned his face back to answer Qin Chen: "...a normal reaction to lack of oxygen."

"Normal reaction..." Qin Chen repeated the word, and smiled heavily, "Kissing another man in broad daylight is also a normal reaction of our chief examiner?"

"..."

Youzhuo's lips moved, and after a while, he said, "The matter in the old castle will be revealed."

"What happened in the castle? There are many things happening in the castle."

Qin Chen said: "Are you referring to the fact that you promised not to take any risks, but secretly traded with the witch doctor while I was under siege? Or... before I could react, you forcibly grabbed my hand and stabbed yourself." Or... stabbing a knife while embracing someone to lie motionless in my arms, stopping breathing for a century before reopening eyes?"

You Huo: "..."

"Three things, you pick one and expose it." Qin Chen said.

You Huo: "What about you, you want to poke yourself for two, thinking I can't guess?"

Qin Chen looked down at him, and suddenly said: "My heartbeat has hit a new high now, and I can't tell if it's from anger or something else."

His index finger knuckles rested on Youyou's jawbone, and his thumb touched his lower lip.

Youzhuo's heartbeat was also fast.

He glanced at Qin Chen's fingers, his voice hoarse: "... There is a kind of psychology called the suspension bridge effect."

"The drawbridge effect?" Qin Chen snorted and smacked his thumb lightly. When Youyou's lips were slightly parted, he tilted his head and kissed him. "Does the drawbridge effect include being kissed until the neck turns red?"

The moment Qin Chen lowered his head and came over, perhaps because of the strong breath, a scene from a long time ago flooded into You Huo's mind.

vague and familiar...

It seems to be a replica of a dream.

***

The day, like this exam, was in midsummer.

Maybe this season is hot and hot, and it is easy to burst out of impulse and emotion.

At that time, You Huo was still examiner A, and Qin Chen had reached the end of the examination period.

It was his 11th infraction, and he spent a day cleaning the room and spending two more days in Examiner A's brig.

This is the evening of the second day.

Qin Chen was sitting on the edge of the table with a glass of water in his hand, his short hair was wet, his clean shirt was buttoned up at the neckline, and the muscles on his shoulders, back and chest were lean and strong.

He took a sip of water, tilted his head and said to You Huo: "Thank you, dear examiner, for your hard work, adding a bathroom to the bathroom in the confinement room. Otherwise, after these confinement sessions, you may have to cut off contact with me."

You Huo stood aside, waiting for him to drink the water and take the cup away.

"The system didn't suspect anything?" Qin Chen asked.

"These facilities existed in the confinement room a long time ago, but they were saved later, and now they are just changed back." You Huo said, "It can guarantee that there will be no candidates in the same situation as you in the future? Those candidates will also use it here. "

The way he spoke was as calm as usual, Qin Chen admired it for a while and said, "It must have been fooled by your expression."

"...Are you thirsty, drink two sips in 5 minutes?" Youyou said.

"Changing the topic again." Qin Chen honestly took a third sip and said, "Every time it comes to something not so serious, you just change the topic. Are you in a hurry to leave?"

You Huo said, "It's hot."

The confinement room is actually not stuffy, the ventilation is not bad, and the moisture from the bath dissipates quickly.

But there is still heat left.

Qin Chen said: "It was obviously hotter here 10 minutes ago, and you were not in a hurry to leave."

You Huo: "..."

With a handsome face that was naturally cold, he took the cup from Qin Jiu's hand and said, "Just remember what I said before, and I'm leaving."

"what's up?"

"..."

Just say it and forget it.

Examiner A wants to hit someone.

Qin Chen jumped down from the table, and then said: "You mean to tell me to get out of here after the exam, the farther away the better, don't be an invigilator?"

You Huo: "..."

He obviously hoped that Qin Chen would pass the exam smoothly, leave the system, and stop jumping into this pit of fire.

But...it's not wrong to have to explain it this way.

"I came here with a purpose, have you forgotten? Even if the system tells me to leave, I have to find a way to come back." Qin Chen said.

"Your purpose is the same as mine. I know this place better than you, I am more familiar with the system than you, it is easier to let the system relax its vigilance, and it is easier to achieve that purpose." You Huo frowned and said: "I don't know what you have There is no reason to be tied here."

Worried about causing trouble, he felt uncommonly irritable.

"Reason?" Qin Chen said, "There is one in front of me, and he speaks harshly to me without looking back."

You Huo stopped in front of the door.

"I'm suddenly a little curious, what kind of relationship do we have now in your eyes?" Qin Chen said.

You Huo stood for a while, then said after a while: "The relationship between the invigilator and the examinee."

After he finished speaking, the silence in the room lasted for a long time, and the usual arrogant person behind him suddenly fell silent.

You Huo looked calm, but the knuckles of the fingers holding the cup turned white.

After a long time, when he was about to open the door, there were suddenly light footsteps behind him.

Then, Qin Chen's breath fell.

He lowered his head and said in You Huo's ear, "The other invigilators and candidates don't go to bed, big examiner."

You Huo's eyelashes trembled.

It was almost a hug from behind, but it also carried the unique confrontation between them.

"I have long been used to your stubbornness. The more you worry about someone, the more you will stab someone. I have never seen you stab someone like this. I will come back if I say anything about this." Qin Chen said.

"Even if the system throws me out and clears the memory without leaving anything, I will come back."

……

***

The fire in the old castle has been burning for a long time, and there is no sign of extinguishing it at all. It seems that there are too many things that should be burnt clean.

The souls of the duke and the witch doctor had long since dissipated, and the remaining limbs and corpses returned to human beings one after another because of the retrogression of witchcraft.

They experienced a rebirth from Nirvana, screamed and fled out of the fire, and saw the sun again.

All life and death returned to the starting point in the fire.

In a corner of the castle, a mahogany box suddenly vibrated a few times, and someone screamed in panic and wanted to leave.

The mahogany chest had been kept under the Duke's bed since his resurrection.

He would call "my Alisa" every few days, and would look for girls similar to her, chop off their heads and limbs, in order to get Alisa back.

But for a long time, he never opened that wooden box.

He hid it under the bed, and from the day he put it in until now...hasn't opened it once.

That witchcraft, which requires the resurrected person to be surrounded by candles along with the victim.

The Duke has done it to himself countless times, and the details couldn't be more clear.

But every time... every time he went to those young girls, he didn't take Alisa with him.

Not for fear of stumps.

He has seen a lot of stumps, and he has chopped off countless limbs with his own hands. He just doesn't want to see the face in the box, and he doesn't want to see the woman in the box.

Because that woman is not Alisa at all.

The real Alisa was borrowed by the witch doctor on the day the Duke was resurrected.

The witch doctor said that his last body was too old to last long.He and the Duke are involved, he is weak, and the Duke will be weak.If he died, the duke would die.

He needs a body suitable for sojourning to ensure the Duke's long and healthy life.

In fact, there are many shells to choose from, but the butler chose the one that is closest to the Duke.

He knew that the duchess loved her husband badly. If the witch doctor lived in the lady's body, he might be influenced by the original owner and be loyal to the duke forever.

So that night, the butler only resurrected the Duke, and the witch doctor took over the lady's body. In return, he recalled the spirits of the servants.

But instead of staying in the castle, she went to the town church, disguised as a nun.Because there are more living people in the town, enough for her to use.

The butler was afraid that the Duke would be sad when he woke up, so he chopped off the woman of the cheated couple, made a mess, and put a mask on her.

He said to the Duke: "The resurrection has failed. I don't know what's wrong."

The Duke stood beside the pool of blood, staring at the half of the face under the mask, and said to the butler after a long time, "Put it in the box."

Open one eye and close one eye from then on.

He could have asked the witch doctor for another body, but he didn't.

He just acquiesced, hid "Alyssa" under the bed, and asked the whole castle to wear a mask with her, showing everyone how much he missed her.

It's just... It's never possible to revive her.

The mahogany box was finally knocked open, and a young woman with disheveled hair jumped out. At a certain corner, she met her equally miserable husband, and they left here together.

In the corridor wrapped in scarlet flames, oil paintings were scattered all over the place, the paint was baked dry and cracked, turned to scorched black, and the frame was burned like carbon.

The corners of the Duchess's mouth tightened in the roasting, from a smile to a straight upturn, and a slight pulldown, like disgust, but also like sadness.

Her body lay down in the once magnificent bedroom, while the original body of the Duke was buried under a certain piece of scorched earth. They were separated by thousands of meters, one turned into coke, the other rotted into mud, and they would never meet again.

Outside the castle, Jiang Yuan rolled and crawled into the crowd, Zhou Qi hugged him, laughed and danced, and finally wept.

Farther away, the proctor's office was notified.

The system rang the longest alarm in history, but only gave the three proctors a white note.

Because it can't find any basis for punishment, and it can't find any rules to explain... why two people who have no memory, separated by several years and with opposite identities, can still get together.

So love and hate are really strange things.

Some rotted into the soil early.

Some are deep-rooted.
