You Seem Delicious

Chapter 41: Qin Jiu’s Confinement Room

As soon as the violation notice was given, You Huo threw down the wooden board in his hand. He said to Di Li who flew out from the cave: “Take this pile in first.”

After that, he walked away again with his dagger.@@@@

Directly opposite the cave, a system ship sat there pitifully. Judging from the gaps and openings on the side of the ship, it was probably the ship that was pathetically pulled apart.

And You Huo was walking towards it.

Di Li was dumbfounded for a moment. He quickly shouted out: “Wait a minute. What are you doing now?”

You Huo didn’t hear him.

“What did he mean?” Di Li asked his companion, “The invigilators are coming so shouldn’t they be waiting here? Write something to reflect on their wrongdoings or figure out a way to settle the problem? Apologise to the ship?”

“I don’t know. I can’t keep up with the thoughts of these two young ones.” His companion was a lot older than him. He said: “Let’s see if we can ask for pardon when the invigilators arrive.”

Di Li said: “Yeah. Uncle Li, were you in the legal field before? You’re really good at speaking.”

His companion spoke with frustration: “I’m just over 35. Who’s your uncle?”

Di Li: “Habit, habit. I didn’t mean to call you old. I’ve just been so used to calling those older than me uncle and aunty and haven’t adapted to the change after entering university........”

His companion could neither laugh or cry: “What adapt——- What’s that noise?”

The sound of wooden planks being broken off interrupted them.

Everyone was stunned for a few seconds. They looked over at the source of the noise.

On the system ship not far away, You Huo was standing on the side of the ship throwing down a few more broken boards.

Behind him, the tall mast suddenly tilted. Together with the sails, it collapsed down onto the ship with a bang, startling everyone into closing their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, they saw Qin Jiu stand up near the point where the mast broke. He took the dagger from You Huo and cleanly cut off the rope before lifting his foot and kicking the mast aside.

It tumbled down the ship.

You Huo bent down and disappeared for a moment. When he reappeared by the side of the ship again, he again began to throw things out.

Chairs......

Table.......

Wooden box.......

And even a fucking cabinet.

Thirty plus examines stood there in daze like emperor penguins.

What repent and admitting to your mistakes? Since it was already a violation, they had just decided to dismantle everything!

As long as it can be burned, nothing would be left behind.

The small white ship occupied by the invigilators slowly appeared. Four invigilators stood at the bow.

Under the looks of everyone, Qin Jiu waved at the invigilators before turning around and throwing a ship rudder out.

Examinees: “..............”

Di Li turned to look at his companion: “Brother Li.........”

Brother Li: “.......Just call me uncle. Looks like words won’t save them from this mess.”

.

On the small white ship, 922 stared ahead. His mouth twitched: “I’m seasick.”

154: “...........”

922: “Extremely dizzy and sick. I can no longer stand. Can I go back to the cabin and rest?”

154: “Shut up. I’m also feeling sick.”

The newcomer 078: “?”

922: “Don’t look at us like that. It’s not true sickness. You don’t understand yet. You’ll find out soon.”

078 stretched his neck. Readjusting his sunglasses, he said calmly: “What kind of examinees haven’t I seen?”

922 stared at him.

078: “Let’s not talk about 001, that is an exception. I’m referring those other than him.”

922 scoffed.

The other new invigilator was a tall woman. She had shoulder length hair and one side was tucked behind her ear. Large earrings hanging from her ears swayed with the wind.

She wore a pair of sunglasses even larger than 078’s and said: “Who was the one whose legs shook for ten minutes back in the cabin when they heard that we’re capturing 001?”

078: “............”

But before he could take more than a few steps, he saw that old customer preparing himself. He asked 922: “Do you have anything to eat?”

078 almost lost his footing and fell into the sea.

“No, no food. I didn’t bring any beef! Am I a cafeteria? Why are you ordering food from me?” 922 was afraid of this god of misfortune. In two or three steps, he climbed up the ladder.

He threw out a sentence “I’m seasick. I feel really sick.” before sprinting off.

154 finally couldn’t watch on anymore. He said: “Boss, to tell you the truth an hour ago 922 and I were saying that since you are here he........that examinee wouldn’t violate the rules. Boss, look at me. My face was slapped so hard, it would be swollen soon.”

Qin Jiu said: “Those who are close to ink also get stained. The examinee was a bad influence.”

A particular examinee: “............”

Can you be more shameless?

154 glanced at his boss before similarly running away.

.

With two of the four invigilators slipping away, the numbers withered.

078 could only follow 021 and take the rule violators into the ship cabins.

The invigilator ship adhered to tradition. Apart from the fact that the exterior was painted white to allow for easy differentiation, the interior was similar to the other ships of this examination centre.

There were three floors.

The first floor was like those of the system ships. It was composed of compartments sitting opposite each other with a bed, chair and table. They were rooms for the invigilators to use and rest in. Afterall, like the examinees they were required to remain at sea for the entire duration of the exam.

The two doors marked 154 and 922 were currently locked. It clearly expressed their intention to stay away from the god of misfortune.

The next floor consisted of the dining room and kitchen.

Fire was burning in the fireplace, keeping the entire cabin rather warm or even a little hot.

Qin Jiu took off the scarf around his neck and held it in his hands.

“Do you need me to help you put that away?” 078 began to talk awkwardly.

Qin Jiu said: “No need.”

The awkward conversation ended.

078: “...................”

He glanced at 012. 012 was still standing there proudly with their sunglasses sitting on her face. She didn’t show any intention to speak up.

078 internally sighed. He took You Huo and Qin Jiu down.

The lowermost floor of was very confronting. There were only a few rooms that were tightly shut lined down the narrow walkway.

078 opened the first door and said to You Huo: “Go in. 021 will come and open the door for you when time is up.”

The layout of the confinement room was no different from before. As usual, there was a table and a chair, nothing else. On the wall was a line of mirrors making the room appear more spacious.

You Huo calmly walked in and even closed the door himself after entering.

078 stared at the door. He then silently opened the second door and said to Qin Jiu: “Uh......”

Without him needing to say anything, Qin Jiu went in.

078 awkwardly coughed and said: “After three hours, I will open the door.”

After that, the door creaked shut.

The light from outside was cut off and the room fell into darkness.

This darkness only persisted for a moment. It was then quickly replaced by sunlight.

Qin Jiu narrowed his eyes and adapted to this change. When he opened it again, he found himself standing in a ruin site.

The ruin site was large; much larger than the confinement room itself. It was surrounded by wire mesh protective fencing which circled around. Contained within these fences were rusted cars, scattered machines and broken cables.....

Ah, there was also long metal pipes and steels bars on the side.

If he bent his leg, sat on those pipes, took off his coat and poured some blood onto the front of his shirt, it would look exactly like that scene in his memory.......

Qin Jiu stood before those metal pipes. His fingers unconsciously twitched a few times and he once again wrapped the scarf around his neck.

He tucked the ends of the scarf inside his coat like a gentleman, covering the front of his shirt.

For a moment, a thought flashed through his mind.

It seemed that.........this was correct.

In this distant, blurry memory, he should be wearing a scarf. It was either black or grey and it just happened to cover the blood on his chest.

That person stood before him while he sat on the metal pipes. Except for some signs of exhaustion, he looked like he was unscathed.

It seems that.........this memory is correct.

KK has something to say:

Slowly revealing their history?!
