Chapter 42: The Past in the Diary
There was no one else in this scene in the confinent room. There was no invigilator A standing before him.
Qin Jiu walked along the protective fences.
In the distance outside the ruins was a forest. The tall and straight branches pointed at the sky. Occasionally birds would suddenly beco startled and swarm into the forest.
On the other side it was a mass of fog and there were so traces of smoke.
As an invigilator, Qin Jiu had a good understanding of the confinent rooms.
Here, people would be exposed to the most feared event in their life and be forced to experience it repeatedly.
He truly believed that this was true because all the examinees who had entered the confinent rooms would wet themselves. Even 154 and the others who had beco invigilators feared this place.
But now, he felt that it was all just an exaggeration.
A field of ruins, a forest and this quiet environnt – What was there to be “feared”?
Of course, the word “fear” could an many things.
As he stood there taking in the ruins and forest, he indeed felt a small sense of emptiness. It was as if…….it was hard for him to be happy again.
But this was far from “fear”.
He once thought that the word “fear” had nothing to do with him.
Before this, he had always felt that if he entered the confinent room, he would either see a blank space or the room would remain as is.
But now, it had beco very intriguing.
What did that invigilator A do for him to even appear in the scene produced by the confinent room?
Qin Jiu wanted to see if he could find so clues in this ruin site.
After wandering around for twenty minutes, nothing was found.
It probably had sothing to do with his mory. He could only rember this much so the confinent room naturally couldn’t reveal any more than that. At most, it just helped with bringing out the scenes from within his subconscious.
.
On the second floor of the invigilator ship.
While You Huo was confined, 922 slipped out of his room and rushed over to the kitchen downstairs to continue making his smoked chicken and lamb chops.
It wasn’t until the sides had turned light brown and the outside had turned crispy causing the cabins to be filled with its delicious scent did 922 recover from his shock of “detaining his boss”.
He squatted behind the wooden cabinet searching for a clean plate. As soon as he looked up, he saw 078 co in following the scent. 078 said: “It’s not bad working together with you guys. The als are very different. It’s no wonder 021 chose this team. Did she work with you two before?”
“If you want to eat, wash the dishes first.” 922 shoved four plates into his arms, “021 chose this? Don’t tell
she ca over just to see our boss get detained…….”
“I don’t think so? No one would have expected him to violate the rules. It might be because she wanted to try being 001’s invigilator?” 078 said: “Anyway, there were several groups we could choose from. While I was hesitating, she decided on this one without a mont of thought! This lady has always been decisive.”
922 made a sound of acknowledgent and divided the chicken and lamb chops onto the clean dishes: “So where is Miss Decisive? Tell her it’s ti to eat.”
“Sitting in the monitoring room.” 078 said.
922 was stunned: “What’s she doing there?”
“Watching.” 078 was even more surprised: “You guys don’t monitor them?”
“Not really.” 922 shook his head.
Even that was an exaggeration. In fact, they don’t look at all.
Every invigilator’s site would have a monitoring room allowing them to see the inside of the confinent rooms. Everything the examinees experience in the confinent room would be shown on the screen.
As for whether an invigilator was required to monitor them, there was no hard and fast rule.
Since there was no hard and fast rule, other invigilators interpreted as a ‘requirent’ while Qin Jiu took it as ‘unnecessary’.
And so, either the monitoring room would be empty, or it would be completely shut off.
This ti, invigilators from two different teams had co together and they each had their own habits.
922 didn’t stop them. He just said: “Then does it an that you two take turns to eat? Or do you bring the food into the room and eat in there with her? It’s better eating it while its hot and crispy. It won’t taste good once it gets cold.”
“I’ll take it over to her then. She has always been like this.” 078 said: “I won’t eat in there. I have a weak stomach. If I see sothing bloody or grueso, I would probably vomit. Are you sure you and 154 aren’t going to watch?”
922 held his plate. He felt conflicted.
To be honest, he was really curious about what his boss would see in the confinent room.
But in the end, his desire to live won over his curiosity.
He shook his head and said: “Forget it. I’ll get 154 to co eat.”
.
According to group 9’s usual practices, 078 and 021 worked on a shift-like schedule. For the first half of the day, 021 would watch in the monitoring room and on the second half of the day, it would be 078’s turn.
So at this mont, 078 had not yet seen what the two confinent rooms were like.
“Miss Decisive, your dinner.” 078 pushed open the door was soon surprised: “Why are you standing?”
021 was standing next to the control pad. She said while looking back: “Sitting for too long affects your figure.”
078: “………” Okay then.
021 didn’t continue this topic, “What did you just call ?”
“Miss Decisive. It was a na 922 ca up with. I think it’s quite appropriate.” 078 placed the plate on the table, “922 made so fried chicken and I also boiled so vegetables for you. You…….can stand and eat?”
021 pulled over a chair and sat down.
She finally removed her sunglasses. Her eyes were beautiful and sharp. She cut off a small piece of chicken and when she was about to eat it, she looked over at 078: “You’re not going to eat? Or are you waiting for
to collect the plate?”
It wasn’t 078’s first day with her so he was used to her way of speaking and wasn’t upset. He said: “I’m eating. I’ll go back and eat. I was just curious about 001’s room——-”
He turned around as he said that and saw that one of the monitoring screens was on.
The cara was angled down from the corner of the room. It appeared to be a ruin site. Qin Jiu was leaning on a relatively clean tal table…….reading.
078: “………..”
He almost pressed his face against the screen to confirm what he saw.
He really was reading……….or just looking at so leather backed book.
Who knows?
In short, the chaos and panic he had expected to see wasn’t happening.
It took a long ti before 078 could utter his next sentence: “Is he there just having a goddamned afternoon tea………?”
021 slowly chewed on her chicken and humd in response without raising her head.
“What about the other one?” 078 again asked, “Why is only one screen lit up?”
Miss 021 had always been particular about not speaking while eating. Her finger painted with dark-red nail polish poked at the screen on the bottom right corner to indicate to 078 the location of the screen.
078 again sprawled against the screen.
He felt that he had probably gone blind. It was completely dark. There was nothing at all.
“What’s happening here? Is he afraid of the dark?”
021 didn’t speak any nonsense. In one smooth motion, she turned on the night mode.
This ti 078 could finally see the scene inside the confinent room. That person…….that examinee who was supposed to be confined in there was lying on the table sleeping like a dead pig.
He got closer and listened intently. He could even hear his smooth breathing.
078: “…………”
One was reading, one was sleeping. What was the point of this confinent punishnt? Was this humiliating the invigilators or humiliating the system?
“Forget it. I’m going to eat………”
He had been angered until he was hungry. He turned around and headed for the kitchen.
The monitoring room beca quiet again. 021 swallowed her vegetables and finally raised her eyes. Those beautiful eyes stared intently at the screen.
.
Five minutes later, while the three invigilators were eating lamb chops in the kitchen, 021 ca upstairs.
“The monitoring system is broken.” She held her plate and glass and for a mont looked a little innocent.
078 swallowed the food in his mouth, “Ah? Why did it suddenly break? Wasn’t it fine just now?”
021: “I accidentally overturned my glass and water was poured all over the control pad. When I tried to wipe it up, I may have pressed the power button or sothing.”
“What now?” 078 said, “Report to the system?”
021 was a bit reluctant.
That was also normal. No invigilators were willing to anger the system.
922 spat out the bones and said: “We’re out at sea my Brother. What’s the point of reporting? It doesn’t matter if we can’t monitor them. The confinent room is the only place free from the system. Anyway, the confinent room itself is enough punishnt for the examinee and the system has not been too intrusive about this. Our team has never looked at it. Not even the red lights turn on.”
078 originally wanted to say sothing but when he thought about the two who are reading a book and sleeping, he felt that there really wasn’t much to see.
If he watched that long enough, it would probably frustrate him to death.
And so, he sat back down and resud eating the piping hot lamb chops.
Now no longer needing to monitor, 078 and 021 joined the others and ate together.
They ward themselves up by the fire and chatted as they checked the ti. They only wanted to send away the gods of misfortune as soon as possible.
.
In the second confinent room on the lower floor of the ship, Qin Jiu turned to another page.
What he was reading wasn’t a book. It was the Zhao Wentu’s diary that was entrusted to him.
He had kept this diary with him the entire ti and it was only now that he took it out to read. Afterall, the confinent room was a rather special place.
This was the only place in the entire examination system that was not monitored.
In other words, every other place including the invigilator’s living area, exam centres and rest stops are under the system’s surveillance. It would always know what everyone was doing right away.
The only exception was the confinent rooms.
Following the earliest rules of privacy, the systems invisible eyes were not there. There are only the physical surveillance caras.
Once you turned those off, the confinent room would beco the most private of places.
Of course, access to these rooms were restricted.
Only rule violating examinees could enter and invigilators could only enter when dropping off or picking up the examinees.
.
During this rare period of private ti, Qin Jiu had already gone through half of the diary.
There, Zhao Wentu had made records about every exam he took and every note-worthy person he t.
Qin Jiu saw his na in there……..
And he also saw invigilator A.

Yesterday, I almost went crazy. But even after calming down, I still don’t understand. What sin did I commit for
to be dragged into this exam? (I had a peaceful breakup with my last girlfriend. Not a scum.)
I would rather drop out of school and repeat the university entrance examination for ten years than taking this shit! At the very least, I wouldn’t be burned to death if I couldn’t solve the math problems in the exam.
Oh, but there is also sothing that’s pretty good. There is a very amazing person in the team called Qin Jiu. It was all thanks to him that we were able to survive yesterday.
But he would always step on the examination rule boundaries. I am a little scared. No, the entire team is scared. Everyone except for him.
I hope he can hold himself back. Please hold himself back (It’s too scary kneeling before him in person so I’ll kneel in my diary. Thud.)
It is currently 10 o’clock at night. I hope we get through the night safely. Good night.
Mathematics Day 3

Today was really nerve-wracking. A teammate was almost burned to death, but Qin Jiu instead burned the monster down. (He really dared to do that……..)
To be honest, it was actually quite exhilarating seeing it happen. It felt like we had just returned from the brink of death
Qin Jiu was then taken away. (Our team’s only hope!)
Yes, this damned exam actually also has a fucking invigilator. A living one. In short, invigilator A took the rule violating Qin Jiu away. The most ridiculous thing was that he didn’t take it seriously at all and was even teasing the invigilator.
That invigilator A was too fucking young. I think he’s probably around my age and a year or two younger than Qin Jiu? That guys charisma though. As soon as he appeared, no one dared to move or speak. (But it may also be because he is an invigilator, so everyone didn’t dare do anything. Everyone except for Qin Jiu.)
It is said that the punishnt for rule violation was solitary confinent. Qin Jiu said that the fundantal aning of confinent was to get examinees to sit in the room alone and suffocate from boredom. (But why do I feel that it doesn’t sound right? How scary could sitting in a room alone be?)
Anyway, I still hope he can hold on. This exam will take twelve days.
It is currently 9:30 at night. Long live Brother Qin. I hope nothing crazy happens tomorrow. Wish
good dreams.
Mathematics day 4
Fine
A little girl almost died today. That girl was only six years old and was dragged into doing this disgusting exam. Fucking hell.
The little girl gave Brother Qin a candy. Brother Qin then helped her overthrow a question about the auditorium.
In the end, the auditorium collapsed so Brother Qin was once again taken away by the invigilator.
Today’s invigilator A was also cold. His expression this ti however was a bit bad. (Oh no. Because of Brother Qin, I am even no longer feeling nervous. I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing.)
I suspect that with these two consecutive trips, invigilator A and Brother Qin would probably put each other on their blacklist.
Based on my instincts as a forr mber of the national defence squad, this invigilator probably used to be in the military. Or at least he had so sort of similar experience. Then wouldn’t that an that he’s in a similar field as Brother Qin? So that’s why they didn’t get along……
What was even more scary was that Brother Qin said that he would cause more disruptions for the invigilator next ti he is detained (since he won’t see this entry, I’ll just say that his actions are called enticing death.) Hmm….. You couldn’t tell if he was speaking the truth from his expression. In any case, he always spoke like that.
Don’t tell
he had gone mad from the confinent?
It is now 10 o’clock at night. Sweet dreams.
Mathematics day 5
Fine
My god. We completed the exam………
But as soon as we left the exam centre Qin Jiu was again taken away by the invigilator.
For a mont, I didn’t know who I was more worried about.
Forget it. I just hope I can et Brother Qin again in the next exam.
KK has sothing to say:
LOL Qin Jiu has been breaking the rules since long ago
