Global Examination

Chapter 54

You Seem Delicious

Chapter 54: Fall into the Sea

Soon, the video lit up.

Qin Jiu’s first reaction was to check and make sure the charger was connected properly so that it wouldn’t cut out halfway.

Just as he pushed the charger in firmly, he froze and laughed silently at himself.

How should he put it......

If at this moment he was a bystander and he saw 922 or 154 do something like that, he would definitely think that they’re anxious.

He Qin Jiu had lived for thirty years and, based on the memories that he currently possessed, he had never been like this before.

This emotion that came out of nowhere was very strange.

That person was clearly someone he wouldn’t often think of and he was also someone whose face had never appeared in his memories yet it was as if........

As if he had waited to see this for a very long time.

.

The scenes at the beginning of the video swept around very quickly. From an empty street to an ordinary apartment building, to a commercial street, it then finally stopped on a man’s face.

The man looked very thin and pallid. There were dark shadows under his eyes, but his eyes were still bright and energetic.

It was Zhao Wentu who had not yet become a villager.

It wasn’t until he saw this video that Qin Jiu realised that the man who had been writing “Brother Qin” here and “Brother Qin” there in the diary was actually a young man who had not yet graduated from university.

He turned on the sound.

Zhao Wentu’s voice sounded: “——–I just came out of the apartment to find something to eat. This is today’s street. Even if I throw a stick around, I won’t hit anyone. There aren’t even any birds.”

The camera again turned back to the empty street crossing.

Zhao Wentu explained: “See that? If you continued down there you will see a mass of white fog. That’s where the examination centre was. We went through that fog to reach this rest stop. I have been wondering about it the past few days; if I went back and walked through that fog, what would I see? Would there be monsters in there? Would I return to the previous examination centre? Or would I be taken somewhere else?”

The camera shook slightly as he walked.

As the man spoke, he even walked towards the fog for a while.@@@@

“Forget it. I’m a little scared. I think I’ll just——Huh?” Zhao Wentu suddenly stopped moving.

The camera shook.

“Scared me. Why would someone suddenly appear from there....” He muttered.

Because he was scared, he seemed to have turned around and ran a few steps.

But he then quickly stopped himself.

“Wait a minute, wait a minute.......That seems to be my Brother Qin!”

Zhao Wentu’s tone gave away the fact that he was happy.

The camera then shook again. It was accompanied by a shutter sound.

But it quickly stabilised again.

From the looks of the swaying branches in the background, he seemed to have avoided the road and was standing by a fence somewhere.

Zhao Wentu’s voice suddenly became clearer. He seemed to be speaking closely to the microphone.

“Invigilator A! That invigilator A is also there standing next to Brother Qin. I wonder what they’re talking about. The service desk mentioned that invigilators generally don’t come to the rest stops. This might be the only time I can take a picture of the invigilator........ In a way, it’s also a photo of the system. I hope I can get through this examination alive so that this video won’t be useless.”

“Here.........that’s the god of misfortune..........”

With Zhao Wentu’s words, the camera focused back at the corner of the intersection.

........

The originally empty intersection suddenly had some life.

A car was parked by the side of the road. It was a low-key black colour. It coincided with the scene from Qin Jiu’s memory.

There were two people standing by the car. They were both very tall, making the dusty newsstand nearby appear rather small.

But the one on the left was several centimetres taller.

With his jacket hanging on his arm, he leaned against the car door while speaking. The buttons on the collar of his shirt were not buttoned and it was casually left open. The outlines of his muscles were very prominent as he crossed his arms.

That was Qin Jiu himself from a few years ago.

His features had not changed much, but his hair was shorter, and he looked prouder. That lazy and arrogant demeanour of his was even more unrestrained back then.

“..............”

922 was confused. He walked over to Qin Jiu’s side.

When he looked at the phone, the video was showing the second half.

After just watching a few seconds, he froze.

922 recognised the first-generation invigilator uniform.

922 also knows what You Huo’s face looked like.

But when the two are put together.............He suddenly couldn’t recognise him anymore.

It wasn’t until the video began to loop that 922 suddenly returned to his senses.

There was a knock on the door. 154’s muffled voice travelled into the room.

“922? Where are you? Did you get lost on your way to release our boss?”

922 was shocked. When he turned his head around, Qin Jiu had already looked back up.

“Boss...........” 922 pointed at the screen and then he pointed outside: “Why would that person be in here? Isn’t that the first-generation invigilator uniform? Why would he be wearing it?”

“Who.............is this?”

There was the sound of the door outside unlocking.

As the confinement room door opened, the light that suddenly poured in blinded Qin Jiu who squinted his eyes in response.

They had been in the room for a while and everyone was waiting outside.

154 breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them. He then said angrily: “Scared me. I thought something happened again. This round of confinement really is...........”

021 next to him added: “Exhausting both physically and mentally.”

154 subconsciously nodded. He then glanced at Qin Jiu and quickly shook his head: “Actually, it’s not that bad.”

Next to them, You Huo was leaning lazily against the porthole waiting for them to finish. He subconsciously fiddled with his earring with one hand. He raised his eyelid and looked over at Qin Jiu with his light brown eyes that seemed slightly transparent under the oil lamp.

For a moment, his appearance overlapped with invigilator A in the video.

It was as if he had never changed after all those years.

...........

Qin Jiu’s lips moved.

As if he was possessed, he turned off the phone and stored it back inside his pocket before looking at You Huo and saying to 922: “Nobody.”

922: “..............”

Am I blind..............?

.

On the way back, the atmosphere inside the ship was very strange.

Even 154 who was a rather tolerant person could no longer stand it, but he couldn’t tell why it felt strange.

It wasn’t until the small white ship reached the shore and he watched the two disappear back into the cave that he realised........

These two gods of misfortune didn’t make 922 make them supper?

“Did something happen in the confinement room? Why do I feel that boss’s mood is strange? You as well. You have been lost in thought ever since you came out. What have you been thinking about?” He nudged 922 who had lost his soul.

922 returned to his senses and look at him.

Everything in the video flashed through his mind.......

He knew that the uniform in there was something only worn by the earliest group of invigilators. After that, it was abolished, and casual wear was allowed.

He had also seen pretty much everyone from the earliest group of invigilators. Even if he didn’t see them in person, he had seen them through photos.

All except for one..........

Invigilator A...........

922 grabbed onto 154 and let out a curse: “Fuck!”

As soon as he was about to speak, he lost his footing.

With two consecutive splashes, 154 was dragged straight into the sea by this unlucky colleague of his.

KK has something to say:

Finally revealed!
