It was already late at night,
The undercurrent under the surface of the sea suddenly surged.
The Little White Boat returned in a bumpy journey.
After coming out of the detention room, 021 did not try to talk to You Huo again.
Everything was just like when they boarded the boat.
This straightforward lady wore big sunglasses and walked around the cabin,
Ignoring the others,
Seizing the opportunity, she would do anything to 078.
078 did not know what he had done wrong again.
Given that this lady had always had a bad temper, he did not think too much about it.
Only for an extremely rare moment.
She would secretly look at You Huo through her sunglasses when no one was paying attention.
She wanted to know what she had said in the detention room,
Did You Huo hear it or not.
But judging from his expression,
You Huo did not react at all.
He was talking to 922..
He was in charge of "here".
922 was in charge of "speaking".
"Alright, don't look anymore,
It's useless to look at me. The waves are so big. How can I have the ability to stop the boat from moving? "922 raised his hands.
"Isn't this the invigilator's office?" You Huo said.
"The invigilator's office has to maintain the same pace as the entire examination hall. There's no special treatment when it should be bumping or shaking."
922 pointed at the table. "Look at 154,
His face is the same color as bile. There has to be a way to stabilize the boat,
Why did he wait until now? "
154 held onto the dining table,
His face was ashen as he stood there. Just as he was about to open his mouth to agree, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned around and ran away.
"Poor thing,
He went to vomit again. Even the seasickness stickers don't work, "922 said.
The Little White Boat swayed too much. Whether it was the invigilator or the examinee, their expressions did not look good.
Only 922, who kept saying that he was "seasick", acted as if nothing had happened,
The floor was shaking like a seesaw,
He was still as steady as an old dog.
However, the old dog had a shadow over You Huo,
He was afraid that he would be tricked again as he explained. He subconsciously pushed Qin Jiu out. "Boss, you know how broken this boat is the best, you..."
922 turned his head and found that Qin Jiu, who knew him the best, had entered the kitchen with familiarity.
922: "..."
What are you doing..
In the blink of an eye, Qin Jiu came out again with a plate of fresh oranges.
The chair was clearly there, but he refused to sit. She insisted on sitting on the armrest of the sofa beside You Huo. She was much taller than You Huo.
He changed into a relaxed posture and handed the plate over. "I took a risk and stole it from the kitchen. Since we're both in confinement, how about I give you half?"
"…"
Damn the risk.
"No." You Huo had lost his appetite due to the swaying of the boat, thus he refused directly.
Qin Jiu picked a petal and said, "I don't know if you've heard, but sailors in the Middle Ages were very prone to scurvy. It's hard to say for the sailors in the cave, and it's also hard to say if we're going to stay here for a long time. People who are sick will have black spots on their bodies and faces, and their teeth will become loose. If they are not careful, they may be all gone. "
You Huo: "…"
"And then …"
Qin Jiu still wanted to say something, but You Huo directly took three pieces of orange.
922: "…"
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't prevent the boss from betraying him.
What could he do? He could only let them eat.
And that wicked boss was still teasing the examinee. "Congratulations, you escaped from the hands of the Grim Reaper."
The examinee returned him three pieces of orange peel.
922 couldn't stand it anymore.
Since it was already like this, he went to fry two more lamb chops.
He couldn't afford to offend the boss and the Grim Reaper, so he might as well make everyone happy. Besides, he also wanted to give his boss some special treatment.
Was there a rule prohibiting examinees from eating at the invigilator's office?
No.
After all, when the rules were set, no one expected that there would be examinees in confinement like this.
Thinking of this, 922 was at ease as he busied himself in the kitchen.
·
The little white boat took half an hour to return to shore.
Before You Huo left, he expressed his gratitude to 922 and asked if there was any extra food, whether it was raw or cooked.
922: "…"
Was there not enough food in the dining hall and he wanted to take it out?
Just as he was about to speak, the red light on his finger finally lit up, followed by a "di di di" warning.
"Look, the warning is here." 922 showed him his finger. "The content of your exam is to keep the people on the boat alive, including providing them with enough food. If I let you take it out, wouldn't I be helping you answer the question?! Have you ever seen an invigilator calculate the answers for an exam? "
These words hit the nail on the head.
You Huo did think about taking some meat back to roast for the crew.
But since he was warned, he didn't force it.
He chose to violate the rules, but forcing others to do so was too much.
Besides, after a few exams, he had a good impression of 922.
·
The little white boat was not docked at the entrance of the cave, but at the other end of the deserted island.
The two of them were familiar with the environment and walked around the island along the unclear road.
According to Di Li's original question, this place should be in the Arctic Circle.
So it was completely different from the average deserted island. Except for the vicinity of the cave, there was ice and snow as far as the eye could see.
You Huo and Qin Jiu walked on the snow, one in front and one behind. Crunching sounds could be heard.
This half of the island was unusually quiet. The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and only one or two stars could be vaguely seen somewhere. Even the sound of the surging waves was blocked by a huge rock that looked like a screen.
Qin Jiu looked up at the antenna that connected to the sea and suddenly heard You Huo ask him, "Is the detention room that special?"
"Huh?" Qin Jiu was stunned.
When he stopped, You Huo was one step faster than him. Half of his tall figure was blended into the night.
Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you ask this?"
"Just a casual remark." You Huo turned to glance at him and urged in a low voice, "Are you coming or not?"
Qin Jiu followed him unhurriedly. "You're inducing me to violate the rules. As a top student, I should be honest and well-behaved."
You Huo: "… Bullshit."
Qin Jiu laughed.
"Haven't you been demoted to a candidate? Why are you still violating the rules?" You Huo glanced at his wrist.
He was wearing a watch, and it just happened to cover the spot where the warning light was on. Anyway, since Qin Jiu started participating in the exam, the red light had never been on again.
"Of course, it's okay to talk more about the candidates." Qin Jiu said, "The system can't, and it's even worse if the system doesn't want to talk about it."
You Huo's eyes moved.
Although this sentence didn't say anything, it revealed a message in itself.
The detention room was indeed special. It was related to the system's settings, and the system didn't want to talk about it.
What was it that didn't want to talk about?
It was either a secret or a bug.
For a moment, neither of them spoke. Only the sound of footsteps could be heard in the snow.
Qin Jiu was half a step behind. After walking for a while, he said in a low voice, "I'm very curious."
You Huo didn't even look up, and habitually waited for him to continue. However, the other party didn't say anything for a long time.
"…"
He stopped in his tracks and looked at Qin Jing as if he was convinced. He forced out a reply, "Speak."
Qin Jiu continued, "You really didn't see anything in the detention room?"
Of course, You Huo wouldn't tell anyone what he saw. Who knew if the other party would think that he was afraid of the dark, especially someone like Qin Jiu …
So he said, "Yes, I heard that you read a book in the detention room for three hours, and even tried to fix a phone?"
"Who told you that?"
“922。”
Qin Jiu made another note, "It's not a book, it's a diary. The diary and the phone both belong to Zhao Wentu. "
You Huo was stunned, "Zhao Wentu?"
"It's a bit regrettable. When he rushed over, you had already left." Qin Jiu said, "Otherwise, I could see that he was conscious. At least he remembered his name. It's a bit of consolation."
"So he does know you."
Qin Jiu looked at the sky, and the white fog between his breaths became misty in the night. "When I was a candidate, I was in the same team as him, but I don't have much of an impression. So I flipped through the diary and tried to recall. "
Qin Jiu had been a candidate for many years. It was normal for him to not remember things clearly. After all, although he often smiled, he wasn't enthusiastic.
"What did you recall?" You Huo asked casually.
"I still don't have a deep impression of the diary, but I remembered something else."
"What?"
"For example, Examiner A."
You Huo was still interested in Examiner A. He looked like he was waiting for him to continue.
