Global Examination N Chapter 65

Don’t Close Your Eyes At

Chapter 65: The Past (2)

The ti it takes for one to clean an examination centre can vary.

On one hand, it depended on whether the examinee is powerful enough. On the other hand, it depended on luck.

If they were allocated a simple exam centre, there was less trouble. If they were allocated a difficult one, even their lives could be lost.

The punishnt ti specified by the system was three days.

The old main had been watching over this place for a long ti so he had also seen many things.

In general, when the three days are up, the examinees will still be nowhere in sight. The invigilator responsible would need to go down and pick them up for the punishnt to be considered as complete.

But Qin Jiu was always an exception. He would always finish in advance.

Sotis, it was half a day. Other tis, it was a whole day.

The old man no longer rembered the specifics. He just rembered that there was one ti where Qin Jiu overdid it………

After Qin Jiu jumped out that day, the French windows were closed up again.

Torrential rain outside had not stopped. It continued to smack against the glass.

The old man looked outside the window, trying to recall events from long ago.

He had always wondered why he would be here watching over this place, but he couldn’t rember.

Bored, he fiddled with the tal panel before him and casually flipped through the records.

There are several of these tal panels in the invigilator’s district. They are installed at various punishnt sites and the systems are all interconnected.

It didn’t have any authoritative powers and was just used as a recording device.

Whether it’s an invigilator or an examinee, anyone who had violated the rules before would be recorded here.

The people here weren’t interested in reading past records, but the old man enjoyed it.

The nas of the examinees were all unfamiliar, and he couldn’t match the invigilators with their code nas.

But he flipped through the records mainly so that he could feel a little more human.

This place here was too systematic and uniform. Even the people here were so systematic, they almost seed lifeless.

It was only the mont when soone steps outside of the rule boundaries that there would be a trace of human vitality.

And so, in a place like this, soone like Qin Jiu was extrely eye-catching.

It didn’t matter if you liked or hated him

In any case, you would always notice him, and rember him.

The old man flipped through for a while before soon rolling his head and dozing off.

After an unknown amount of ti passed, he was once again startled awake by the thunder.

In a still confused and drowsy state, he heard knocking sounds.

Knock, knock, knock——–

Who?

The old man opened his eyes and subconsciously looked towards the elevator.

The elevator door was still closed. No one ca.

Besides, who in the right mind would knock on an elevator door?

He yawned and got ready to continue sleeping.

The knocking sounded again.

Knock, knock, knock———-

The old man froze for a mont and suddenly realised that the sound was coming from the window………

He quickly looked over. As he did that, he almost twisted those old bones of his.

Outside the window, the sky had beco darker.

The torrential rain was still falling leaving behind water streaks on the windowpane. The lights from the city down below illuminated those water streaks which scattered light everywhere.

And amongst it, there was a blurry figure…………

“…………”

The old man clutched his chest and slowly inched closer.

The tiny platform outside the window could barely support soone.

That examinee called Qin Jiu looked like he had just arrived and was squatting there removing white bandages from his left hand.

The old man turned his head slightly and glanced at the ti.

Since the ti this person jumped off………….it hadn’t even been six hours??

While he was still in his surprised state, the elevator suddenly opened with a “ding”.

A young invigilator wearing the invigilator’s uniform walked out.

He appeared to have just left a eting as he was still wearing his special glasses. The dark brown lenses covered the upper half of his face.

The old man quickly glanced at him.

Even if only the lower half of his face was exposed, he could tell that he had the looks that could bring calamity.

“You’re…………here for the examinee?” The old man asked with hesitation.

The invigilator didn’t answer very enthusiastically: “Just happened to pass by.”

The old man who finally found his saviour imdiately said: “You ca just in ti! Your examinee just ca out.”

He quickly pressed the control button.

The French window disappeared, and cold wind accompanied by rain droplets poured in.

Qin Jiu stood up straight. As he undid the bandage knot on his right hand with his teeth, he raised his eyes and looked into the room.

The mont he saw the invigilator, he was a little surprised but the next second it changed into a smile.

“I thought I would have to wait a while today. I didn’t expect you to be so fast.”

He then brushed his wet hair back and walked in while holding the bandages. He said to the old man: “Where can I throw this?”

The old’s lips twitched and pointed next to his seat: “There’s a bin over there.”

Qin Jiu went around the table to throw it, and even helped him press the control button along the way.

The French window once again closed, blocking the wind and rain outside.

“You might need to get soone to mop the floor.” Qin Jiu glanced down at the wet footprints he had left behind.

Is this the ti to talk about mopping the floor?

The old man internally thought.

Although he couldn’t see the invigilator’s eyes and eyebrows, the old man was certain that he must be frowning.

“You have completed the cleaning task?

“Yeah.”

“So fast?” The invigilator asked suspiciously.

Qin Jiu smiled more deeply: “I know your intention is to question

but that tone really makes

a little……proud.”

“…………”

The invigilator’s lips pursed into a straight line.

The old man couldn’t help but cut in: “What now?”

This had not happened before.

As stipulated by the system, examinees will need to stay in the invigilator’s district for three days. Originally, those three days would be the ti the examinee spends cleaning the examination centre so there was no need to consider the issue of food and accommodation.

Now with Qin Jiu finishing in less than a day, how they were going to deal with the remaining two days had beco an issue……..

“Any relevant regulations?” The old man asked.

The invigilator said: “No.”

He paused and added another sentence: “None at the mont.”

At the mont………

The old man internally thought: If this happens two more tis, the system should quietly go and update its rules.

For example, regardless of whether or not they would end up using it, they should first assign a place sowhere for them to stay to avoid sothing as unusual as this happening.

But that was for future cases.

Right now, that very unusual being was standing right before them…….so they had to decide on what to do.

The invigilator was ruthless.

He looked around and said to the old man: “Give him a bed. I’ll pick him up in two days.”

Qin Jiu squinted his eyes.

The old man imdiately refused: “No, that can’t do.”

“What’s the problem?”

“No bed.” The old man said: “Despite this place being so big, there’s nothing here. It’s only enough for

alone.”

As he said that, Qin Jiu suddenly turned his head and sneezed.

The invigilator’s lips were pursed even more firmly into a straight line.

Through the dark lenses, you could see his knitted brows.

He then said stiffly: “Follow

down.”

Qin Jiu: “Huh?”

Invigilator: “…….Follow

down. Don’t make

say it a third ti.”

“Where are we going?” Qin Jiu started dragging his voice as he rambled on nonsensically: “I am now drenched from the rain and I’ve exhausted all my energy. If you deal with

irresponsibly, my life might be in danger.”

The old man couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

He suspected that the invigilator might have also rolled his eyes under those lenses.

The invigilator looked at Qin Jiu expressionlessly for a while before saying: “Go to my place. You won’t die.”

There was a trace of surprise on Qin Jiu’s face.

Without waiting for the other party to answer, the invigilator had already turned around and moved to wait for the elevator.

Qin Jiu leaned against the tal panel. He stared at his back for a while before straightening himself up.

The elevator arrived with a “ding”. The invigilator didn’t wait for him and went straight in.

Qin Jiu waved at the old man and quickly strode over. Just as the doors were about to close, he stuck his hand in and walked in with a smile on his face.

……………

What happened after that, the old man could no longer rember clearly.

It seems that Qin Jiu really did stay at that invigilator’s place for two days.

In order to et the punishnt objective and to avoid being too lax around the rule-violating Qin Jiu, the examination system had implented so asures as last minute solutions. In a way, it was its way of tying up one of its loose ends——–

The invigilator had vacated a room out and the system changed it into a confinent room.

The specifications of it was exactly the sa as a normal confinent room. It was practically a case of copy and paste.

For the remaining two days, Qin Jiu had spent it in that confinent room.

…………

This last-minute solution was maintained for a while.

Was it for half a year, or a year?

In any case, if anyone completed their punishnt ahead of ti, they would continue solitary confinent punishnt at the invigilator’s place.

Later, the system suddenly changed it.

Perhaps it felt that it wasn’t right, or perhaps it was because more examinees were completing their punishnt ahead of ti.

It is said that the system later established a place for examinees to stay and several more rules and regulations were added.

As for the events after that, the old man didn’t know.

As he got older, his mory got worse. He no longer paid attention to the happenings outside.

He just rembered that at one point in ti, the examinee Qin Jiu no longer appeared.

And there was also no more news of that invigilator…….

KK has sothing to say:

He stayed at Invigilator A’s place~ ????????
