"I will send you off one last time" [Global Examination]

[76] Don't Close Your Eyes At Me: Room Assignment

Zhao Jiatong had a gentle personality.

"Gentle personality?" Gao QI looked completely unconvinced, but Zhao Jiatong just snorted, "Only with you, I'm not."

"Hmm, I wonder why..." Gao Qi grumbled sarcastically, but Invigilator E just rolled her eyes.

Although she had some differences with Qin Jiu, she wouldn't show it.

Gao Qi was different.

When Qin Jiu walked over, he acted like he had met his greatest enemy.

If not for Zhao Jiatong holding him back, he would have already rolled his sleeves up.

"I know it's you, but don't be stupid." Zhao Jiatong rolled her eyes, "What are you going to do, fight him?"

"Well, future me didn't know that GIN didn't cause A's injuries, and they had been working together the entire time!" Gao Qi defended himself, "Also, I'm not stupid!"

"Not that, idiot!" 058 interjected, "Even if you weren't drunk, you know you can't beat him!"

"Maybe I'll be lucky this time!"

"Against that god of misfortune? Unlikely." 154 murmured under his breath, while Wen Yuan did his best to stifle his snickering, as the moderates continued to bicker in the background.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Jiatong glared at him.

Gao Qi: "Conditional reflex."

Zhao Jiatong said with frustration: "I don't see you do that in the invigilator's district!"

"Alcohol calms people down." Gao Qi lied to her face.

"..."

"... I mean... he isn't wrong..."

"Only in the short term, though... you know how people who drink too much are always depicted as nutjobs..."

"Or drinking when there is ongoing stress..."

"I get it, I get it, I'll try to cut down on the drinking!" Gao Qi threw his hands up in exasperation as the hardliners mocked him sarcastically, much to Chu Yue and Qin Jiu, and even Zhao Jiatong's amusement.

"Besides, I rarely run into him. He's 001, I'm 1006. Although we both have two zeros..." Gao Qi said self-deprecatingly: "The difference is too big. Even if I want to fight, I can't."

"..."

Zhao Jiatong looked at Gao Qi snidely, "Even your future self knows you can't beat him, and you still want to try."

Gao Qi just sighed, and crossed his arms, opting to stay quiet for now before he says something else that the others would mock him for.

Zhao Jiatong: "Restrain yourself. They all say that 001's memory was affected, and he no longer remembers that incident."

"I know but who can guarantee that it's true?" Gao Qi questioned.

"You really are... What's the point of lying?"

"There are lots of benefits." Gao Qi started counting, "Saves the need to explain what happened that day, won't having people look for him for trouble, avoids suspicion... I fell from D to a four-digit number while he, the involved person, is still able to do whatever he likes after recovering. Aren't those benefits enough?"

"Like... the System was covering up for him?" A hardliner scratched the back of her head, "I mean... it is possible... but the System can't lie like that, can it?"
