<strong>Bloody Carnival</strong>


    Chapter 96: Special Sector


    3:16pm, Twin Towers.


    The three elevators in the punishment building were still operating normally; one had a blue light, and another had a red light.


    The former was for examinees, and thetter was for invigtors. The elevators take them to different locations.


    In addition to those, there was also one with a white light.


    To the majority of the invigtors, that elevator with the white light is very special


    It would usually remain in a “sleeping” state all year round and would always be stopped at the first floor because the opportunity to use it was few and far between.


    At this moment, 078 was standing in front of an elevator door holding a notice in his hand.


    He had taken a few days of sick leave.


    After getting better in the morning, he received this notice.


    The notice wrote………


    922 had twisted his foot, 021 felt dizzy and ufortable because of a sudden episode of low blood sugar and 154 had several mouth ulcers from overworking. As the three urgently require rest to recover, 078 who is in the same group is required to take over the job of punishing the rule viting examinees.


    The first thought that appeared in his mind when he saw this notice was: What kind of bullshit is this?!


    Twisting a foot was fine. Afterall, 922 is indeed rather sloppy. It is said that the road to the examination centre was quite rough and he heard they even needed to use horse carriages. Something like identally missing his step and twisting his foot was indeed something he would do.


    But suddenly having low blood sugar………


    Miss 021 came from the military and her physical fitness is better than most men so how the hell could she suddenly have low blood sugar???


    But……he didn’t dare provoke this ancestor of his so if she says she dizzy, then he would leave it at that.


    As for 154……


    This one here was really taking it too far.


    It was just a couple of ulcers and it wasn’t on the sole of his feet. It wouldn’t be to the extent of being unable to take the examinees to be punished. Did he really need that urgent rest???


    Yet the system actually epted this ridiculous request for leave.


    078 even suspected that 154 may have pulled some strings.


    But what surprised him the most was the punishment location.


    It wrote that he needed to board this elevator.


    “Huh? Hey, you———” An invigtor on duty who was responsible for watching over the building was surprised to see 078 standing there: “What are you doing standing there? Did you identally stand in front of the wrong one? That’s the Special Punishment Sector.”


    Special Punishment Sector.


    That was basically all that they knew about the elevator with the white light.


    As for what specific rule vitions it covered, they didn’t know.


    It is said that it deals with issues specifically rted to the system’s security, but no one knew whether this was true. Afterall, the sample data they could refer to was almost zero.


    078 waved his notice and said: “I didn’t make a mistake. It’s clearly written here.”


    That invigtor was surprised. He moved closer and took a look: “Wow, which exam was this? All the invigtors retired? That’s impossible.”


    “It’s possible. I retired after the end of myst one.” 078 pointed at his haggard face.


    The other invigtor was at loss for words.


    The notice didn’t mention the vitor nor reveal any details regarding the vition.


    But 078 could already guess who it could be.


    Sure enough, less than a few minutester those two gods of misfortune arrived.


    “They’re here. You can go and report to 021 and the otherster.” The invigtor who brought them over acted like he was delivering andmine. He turned around and fled as soon as he was done.


    078 didn’t have the chance to stop him.


    He looked at the two with aplicated expression.


    Qin Jiu raised his hand and greeted: “Good afternoon.”


    Good my ass.


    078 internally muttered that it had turned bad after seeing those two.


    “What did you two do again this time?” 078 asked frustratedly: “You’re even using this elevator now.”


    When he asked “what did you two do”, the atmosphere turned a little strange.


    But 078 who was rather slow didn’t notice this.


    Qin Jiu looked at the elevator light and was a little surprised: “Are you sure?”


    “Of course.” 078 muttered, “Would I just casually shove people on?”


    “What’s wrong with this elevator?” You Huo asked.


    He was a little curiousst time and thought it was for those reserve invigtors like the bus driver and shop owners. He didn’t expect himself to be able to use it.


    Qin Jiu briefly gave him an exnation. The elevator then took them upstairs.


    It was so fast; it was quite unexpected.


    The ce the elevator stopped at was at arge empty floor. Like the onest time, there was also a registration panel.@@novelbin@@


    What was different, however, was that there was no one manning this station and therge French window at the end was reced by a thick, metal door.


    【Special Sector. Permission required to enter. Please show the relevant notice.】


    078 took out the notice and went over to the registration desk.


    When he saw the metal door, You Huo had a feeling of deja vu.


    He was now no stranger to this feeling.


    “What’s wrong?” Qin Jiu asked in a low voice.


    You Huo said: “Looks familiar. May have been here before.”


    There were two possible ways: Coming as a vitor oring as an invigtor.


    078 was busy verifying at the desk in the distance.


    The system would sound again and again in response.


    Qin Jiu watched 078’s back and suddenly said: “I saw your old vition records after we finished the cleaning taskst time.”


    You Huo looked over at him.


    “There was one in there that said that you once had an overly intimate rtionship with someone.”


    “……..Who?”


    “I don’t know.” Qin Jiu said.


    The system still maintained a strong influence over the invigtors. Even now, his memory was firmly suppressed and not a clue was leaked.


    He lowered his head and asked You Huo: “Do you have an impression Big Invigtor?”


    You Huo suddenly recalled the fragmented scene that shed through his mind when he had his back pressed against the fence and was kissed into confusion by Qin Jiu.


    In that scene, someone was standing behind him. That person said…… Other invigtors and examinees don’t sleep together.


    When You Huo heard the same voice next to his ear, his lips moved a little.


    “No.” He said.


    “Really nothing?” Qin Jiu asked again.


    “Really.”


    Qin Jiu’s eyes fell onto his side profile.


    You Huo leaned against the wall staring at 078 in the distance. Thin lines stretched from his chin down to his neck.


    Suddenly, a rather naughty finger reached out and tugged his earlobe.


    “Then what were you thinking about when you paused just now?” Qin Jiu asked.


    You Huo: “……..”


    He remained silent for a few seconds and answered: “Wondering how long 078 is going to take getting the verification sorted.”


    He didn’t suppress his voice this time.


    The invigtor who was suddenly named said awkwardly: “I haven’t been here before so I’m not familiar with how it works. Do you know how 001?”


    Qin Jiu looked at him expressionlessly.


    078: “Oh right, you probably forgot.”


    “There used to be someone in charge here so there was no need to do it ourselves.” Qin Jiu walked over.


    “Where is that person now?” You Huo asked.


    “Was sent away.” Qin Jiu said, “Speaking of which, you have probably met her. She was sent over to the rest stop.”


    “We’ve met? Who?”


    “Called Chu Yue, the rest stop hotel manager.”


    You Huo was stunned.


    He really did meet her. He met here after the end of his first exam. That Boss Chu even made an exception and cooked up some dumplings for them.


    078 scratched his head.


    He had pressed a few wrong ces on the panel and the interface was now a mess.


    He didn’t know what he had pressed earlier for the interface to suddenly change. It now disyed a very short list.


    It was a checkin-checkout record.


    Looking at the time in the first column, the first record was about three or four years ago and the time span was about a year between the first and the second record.


    There was only one page of the records there. It could be seen that this ce was indeed very rarely used.


    The listed included the vitor, the apanying invigtor and the person in charge.


    There were many unfamiliar names and code names, but Invigtor A would appear several times and Chu Yue’s name would be on all of them.


    You Huo suddenly remembered the message he left with 021. He had said that he needed to go find someone at the rest stop.


    Although he had only been to a rest stop twice and have only met a handful of people….


    But there was something called intuition.


    He intuitively felt that….the person he needed to look for was probably Chu Yue.


    Just as Qin Jiu wanted to turn to another page, the system sounded.


    Perhaps it couldn’t bear watching 078 muck around, three screens automatically appeared on the panel for 078 to verify one by one.


    The information was verified.


    The tightly guarded metal door finally opened. A gust of wind carrying a strong smell rushed over.


    It smelt like a machine room that had not been used for a long time.


    The moment he smelt this, You Huo’s footsteps stopped.


    He could almost hear a woman speaking beside him. That voice was the same as Boss Chu’s voice.


    ………


    078 almost ran into him. He asked, “What’s wrong?”


    “Nothing.” You Huo said.


    He just suddenly remembered something.


    ***


    Behind the metal door was also a security gate. All vitors would have to go through it for a secondary verification.


    That year, Chu Yue’s hair was longer than it was now, and she would always tie it up before she had to do anything.


    That day, she was biting onto a hair tie andbing back her hair with her fingers when she received a vition notice.


    The vition notice was very detailed,pletely different from now.


    Both the vitor name and vition was written on the notice.


    Rule Vitor: A


    Vition: Overly intimate rtionship with Examinee Qin Jiu.


    Remark: The examinee is an outsider with an evaluated danger level of S and Invigtor A is a core system personnel. Their rtionship threatens system security.


    Punishment: White light district (1 times)


    Other: At the request of A, the punishment has been postponed for 5 days.


    Chu Yue stared at those lines and then proceeded to quickly tie up her hair.


    She looked over at the young head invigtor who was already standing at the security gate and walked over: “I’ve noticed that the system is very biased. You asked for it to be postponed and it really did postpone it.”


    He snorted: “Postponing it for five days brings more benefit than harm so why wouldn’t it agree.”


    “That’s true.” Chu Yue nodded. She scanned her finger on the security gate.


    “Stop crossing your arms and leaning on the door.” Chu Yue said.


    Because of certain reasons and also because she is of a rather special standing, she was the only person in the entire invigtor district who could talk to Invigtor A like this.


    With the apaniment of several electronic sounds, the security gate processed the information.


    Chu Yue suddenly asked: “So that guy left?”


    “Mn.”


    “How did you convince him?”


    “Didn’t convince.”


    “Pretty stubborn.” Chu Yue muttered, “Then how did he leave?”


    “Reached the re-examination limit.” A said, “Forcefully ended by the system.”


    The young invigtor’s thin eyelids hung low and his tone was indifferent.


    But Chu Yue could tell that he wasn’t in a good mood.


    In fact, he would usually have a cold expression and look like he was always in a bad mood. Most people wouldn’t notice the subtle changes.


    Only Chu Yue who knew some things could detect these changes.


    “But I can’t believe you.” Chu Yue puffed her cheeks and said angrily: “You postponed the punishment until after he left.”


    Following the instructions, A raised both his hands and turned around. He acted like he didn’t hear her.


    He had always been like this. Chu Yu had long grown used to it.


    With her character, she didn’t like to meddle with other people’s private affairs.


    But today was an exception. She felt that she had to say something to A.


    Hiding something yourself and being forced to conceal something were two different things. No one liked to hide away the things they liked; forever unable to let others know, unable to reveal anything, unable to lower their guard.


    No one would want that.


    “What if. I’m saying what if.” Chu Yue said in a deliberately nonchnt manner: “What if that persones back? If he knew that you took the punishment for the both of you, I think……….”


    A’s voice was calm and certain: “There’s no what ifs. The system will definitely implement measures after sending him out.”


    Chu Yue said: “Hey, it’s just a hypothetical question.”


    A no longer spoke.


    After the verification at the security gate was done, the door to the punishment location finally opened.


    A picked up his coat, bid her farewell and walked in.


    Light prating through the white fog filled the entrance. Chu Yue stood next to the fog with her finger resting on a button in preparation to close the door after him.


    That figure wearing the uniform was tall and lean. Countless women have turned their heads whenever he walked past.


    Chu Yue suddenly sighed emotionally: “It’s quite amazing. You actually could like someone.”


    A’s footsteps stopped. He nced over at Chu Yue and didn’t refute.


    Soon afterwards, he stepped into the fog.


    A monthter, the person he believed would never appear again had returned and, this time, he appeared before him as an invigtor.


    ***


    【Qin Jiu, current identity is an examinee.】


    【You Huo, current identity is an examinee.】


    【Basic conditions for security threat not met. Special Sector cannot be opened. Punishment cannot be executed.】


    You Huo returned to his senses.


    He and Qin Jiu followed behind 078 and walked through the security gate again.


    The result was the same as before. It sounded on par to the system pping itself in the face twice.


    078 looked at the notice dumbfounded.


    He knew that the system liked to emphasise rules. It rigidly believed that it can follow all the rules and is hence superior to the irrational humans.


    Who would have thought that there would be a day where it would p itself in the face?


    After the results were reported, the security gate started to emit white smoke.


    It was unknown if it was due to the machine malfunctioning or because of the systems anger.


    Despiteing all the way here for nothing, 078 wasn’t upset. He was d that he was finally able to send these two gods of misfortunes away.


    He said with a ‘setting all humanity free’ tone: “I’ll take you back to the rest stop.”


    You Huo suddenly asked: “Can I pick the rest stop?”


    Before 078 could speak, the system answered first: “No!! It’s random!!!”


    Its voice echoed through the entire floor.


    <strong>KK has something to say:</strong>


    You Huo took the punishment for the both of them….. ???? DAS TRUE LOVE GUYS
