As you saw from my input file the jump on CV is not even happen at the
edges of the unitcell, it happens at the center of unitcell. That
means that even PBC does not work correctly. A further research shows
that the best would be to replace NINT to INT function without doing
anything else.

I thought 90% of the people do use lagrangian MTD since it provide a
smooth transition.
