This is a villa, with the interior layout mainly white and dark blue gray, which is simple and clear.

You "Misfortune" dreamed that you walked down the stairs...

This place is very strange.

It is not his temporary residence abroad, nor his place to stay in China.

It’s not a hospital, a school army, nor is it the home of Lao Yu and Yu Wen and his son…

Anyway, not anywhere he knew.

But he stood here and felt familiar and unfamiliar.

He seemed to know where he should turn, which room he was going to, and the structure of the house.

Every move is like the owner of this place, so I feel familiar.

But he did not feel any sense of belonging because of this, so he was still unfamiliar.

He guessed that this might be where he lived as an examiner.

The house should be located in a certain part of the invigilator area, and he doesn't like it.

But this is normal. Who would take this kind of place as the main source?

It was too late in the dream, and the sunset fell in the previous moment.

There are large floor-to-ceiling windows on one side of the second and first floors. Whenever You turn to that angle, the lights outside will sway to his eyes.

Through the glass and light, it was snowing outside.

It was clear that there was sunset just now, but the snow fell very heavily in a flash...

He narrowed his eyes to avoid the barbarians, but his steps did not stop on the first floor.

The dream of "confused" inexplicably knew that he was going to the basement...

***

This was one day many years ago, when it was just night and it was snowing heavily.

The temperature inside the house is just right, and a single piece of clothing is enough.

The examiner A just came back after he went out and a layer of snow fell on his shoulders.

He took off his coat and went upstairs, hung his clothes into the bedroom, and was about to take a shower when something suddenly happened downstairs.

This is the residence arranged for the invigilator in the system, a villa with a unified style.

On the left side of the villa area is the Gemini Building used to punish candidates, and on the right is a small park that pretends to behave, which is extremely quiet on weekdays.

So the movement downstairs seemed very abrupt.

The examiner A lives alone and does not like to call friends and has few other people in his residence.

But these two days are exceptions-

A candidate who violated the rules by Qin Jue is living here.

Of course, he lives in a confinement room instead of his bedroom.

The system does not allow illegal candidates to live too happily.

The movement downstairs stopped for a while and then rang again.

It's either a noisy sound or a gentle tapping sound, without panic.

It can be heard that the knocker is joking.

After listening for a while, examiner a walked down the stairs to the basement.

The basement was originally designed as an activity area and also had guest rooms. Later, in order to accommodate Qin Jue, the system changed the guest room into an embedded confinement room.

Except for not installing surveillance, it is the same as the normal confinement room.

The sound of knocking comes from the confinement room.

He pressed his finger to open the door.

There are not many things in the confinement room, a set of tables and chairs and a bed placed against the wall are all the furniture.

Some tools were hung on the wall as if they were pretending to behave.

Qin Jue, who was still a candidate at that time, sat on the edge of the bed.

The corridor lights shone in from outside the door and just fell on Qin Jue.

He narrowed his eyes and turned his head to block the light, and his raised hands were tied with leather ropes.

Going past his open palm, you can see a lazy smile on the corner of his mouth.

"So what's wrong?" examiner a asked, holding the door.

"Nothing." Qin Jue said: "I heard that a senior examiner with busy official duties came back, and he just said hello with courtesy."

His eyes narrowed again, and he still couldn't adapt to the too bright light.

Examiner A looked back at the corridor lights and closed the door of the confinement room with his hands behind his back.

He was locked up very heavily and made a "Peng" sound, as if he was reluctant.

The room suddenly became dark.

"The lights are not turned on?" examiner a said coldly.

He snapped a switch and the lamp somewhere in the corner of the wall was on, much dimmer than the corridor light.

"Oh, I'm trying to get out of here." Qin Zuo raised his hand and said, "But unfortunately, he was tied up like this and was unable to move. The person who tied me was free for most of the day, and he didn't give me food or water. He didn't come back until now. If I hadn't said hello on my own initiative, I'm afraid I wouldn't remember me... Is this considered excessive punishment? "

As we all know, examiner a is the youngest among the invigilators.

Too young to the point of being unexpectedly young.

But both candidates and colleagues will subconsciously ignore his age because he is too strong and has a very high status in the system.

Only Qin Jue is an exception.

This candidate joked without fear of death when he saw the examiner A for the first time.

After learning that the examiner a was two years younger than him, he added a "big" in front of the title, "big" and "big examiner" in his mouth, and "big examiner" in his mouth.

It's okay if anyone else calls this title.

In fact, some people call it that, which is a respectful title for the chief invigilator.

But from Qin Jue's mouth, he brought two casual jokes.

The examiner A glanced at the wall clock and said, "I went out to do business at 4 pm, and it is now 6:10."

It takes 2 hours and 10 minutes in total. This is most of the day calculated using your face?

As for those who don’t give food or water, that’s even more fart!

He snorted coldly and pushed the cup and plate on the table: "Is this pig's food?"

Of course it is not pig food, it is very exquisite and expensive to place.

This was sent by another invigilator from the commercial district restaurant, and he apologized for some things during the day.

He was not hungry, so he stuffed all his food into the confinement room.

Who knows that some candidates don’t appreciate it.

Qin Jue straightened his legs and changed into a more relaxed position. He lifted his eyelids, swept over the cup plate with less interest, and said, "It's different from last night."

Examiner a: “…”

"That meal last night was very good, and the taste was a bit special." Qin Jue said: "The shrimps are scorched, and they are all very good except that."

“…”

The examiner A glanced at the trash can be seen on his face and poured the water and fried meat in: "You choose it yourself, then be hungry."

He leaned against the edge of the table, poured the cool dinner back onto the table.

There were two clangs in the confinement room, and the silence returned to its original state.

There was only the breathing of the two of them for a moment.

The examiner a hugged his arms, his eyes drooped from his thin eyelids and fell on Qin Jue.

Silence has a tense smell.

This tension continued quietly for a moment, and examiner a finally spoke: "What is the purpose of violating the rules so many times?"

Qin Jue raised his eyebrows: "There is a purpose for violating the rules?"

Examiner a didn't say anything.

Qin Jue also said: "Isn't the purpose of the exam placing? As far as I know, it's the case. The questions are quite difficult. I can't think of a particularly perfect way to pass it, so I can only settle for the second best. If there is a better method, why should I violate the rules? Who is not afraid of punishment?"

Examiner a: "It's enough to say a few nonsense, and it's appropriate to stop."

Qin Jue laughed.
