Chapter 3 Trial(1/2)
"Xuanqing City No. 2 Middle School"
This is Long Qisheng’s destination.
He had passed by this area before when he was delivering food part-time, but at that time, in his eyes, this area was just one of the many dilapidated and uninhabited areas on the edge of Xuanqing City, and there was nothing special about it.
Under the influence of "mystery", he never had the idea of getting close to this place.
Naturally, I no longer feel this way.
At this moment, the sky was completely dark. Under the dark sky with five stars and no moon, it was hazy outside the dome and nothing could be seen clearly.
The city lights are bright, but they seem to be unable to penetrate the darkness outside the dome. Even the edges of the city are infected by this darkness, which is daunting.
I always feel that there is something terrible in the darkness.
This abandoned middle school stands at the junction of light and darkness. The light curtain of the dome divides the school into two. Most of the buildings are hidden in the darkness outside the dome. The only things inside the dome that Long Qisheng can see clearly.
There are two buildings, one administrative building and one junior high school teaching building.
Pushing open the rusted iron door, there was a harsh creaking sound, which was abrupt and scary in this quiet area.
Long Qisheng walked into the campus and looked around.
Didn't see anyone.
Looking at the teaching building in front of him that looked like a haunted house, Long Qisheng did not hesitate and walked into the junior high school teaching building according to the address on the note.
When he climbed to the third floor, he saw a light, which looked very warm in this dark and silent environment.
Long Qisheng quickened his pace and walked towards the only classroom with a light on.
The classroom door was open, and a young man was standing on the podium sorting out a stack of test papers.
He did not wear the uniform of the Guards, but wore a white shirt and crisp trousers, his hair was neatly combed, and he wore a pair of elegant gold-rimmed glasses.
Like a real teacher.
Hearing the footsteps, he looked at Long Qisheng at the door, nodded and smiled: "Come in, Long Qisheng, come in and sit down, the exam will start soon."
What the hell is a "classmate"?
Also, since we are selecting combatants, shouldn't it be a combat effectiveness assessment? Why is it a written test?
He thought there would be a muscular man waiting for him here, and he was even mentally prepared to be pressed to the ground and rubbed.
With questions in his heart, Long Qisheng walked into the classroom and found a seat at random to sit down.
He was not the only one taking the test, there were four recruits sitting scattered around him. Judging from their confused expressions, it was probably their first time to take part in the test.
The teacher looked down at his watch, with a gentle smile on his lips: "Everyone is here, let's start the exam."
While distributing the test papers, he said: "Please abide by the rules in the examination room, don't talk, don't peek at other people's answers, otherwise you will be deemed to have failed! If you fail, you will enter a training camp for mentally retarded children~"
Long Qisheng followed the teacher with his eyes. The teacher's movements and tone were very gentle, and there was a smile at the corner of his mouth, but he could not see the teacher's eyes.
Because of this angle, the lenses of his glasses reflected the light, leaving only two patches of sharp white, but no eyes.
This put an inexplicable pressure on Long Qisheng's heart.
After the test papers and pens were distributed, Long Qisheng opened the test paper and read it over.
Then,
My whole body felt numb!!
[Question 1: Do people have a soul? If so, how do you think the soul should exist? (20 points)]
[Question 2: Is there a god in the world? If so, in what form do you think it exists? (20 points)]
[Question 3: Do you think if people have a soul, where does the soul come from? Where does it go after your body dies? (20 points)]
[Question 4: If there are souls and gods in the world, is there a connection between them? What kind of connection is it? (20 points)]
[Question 5: Do you think death is the end of life? (20 points)]
????
Long Qisheng's mind was filled with questions, but his face remained calm, and he didn't ask any questions out loud.
Because the teacher just explained the exam rules, I can't speak.
Maybe this is also part of the assessment. If he violates discipline... he doesn't want to enter that kind of training camp for mentally retarded children...
Long Qisheng is very timid, but there is no shortage of warriors in this world.
"Teacher!" A spirited young man with a two-dimensional hairstyle raised his hand: "Aren't we here to participate in the entrance examination of the Soul Chaser? Why is it a written examination? Or are these inexplicable questions asked?"
"That's a very good question." The teacher adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "But have you forgotten what I said, 'obey the rules of the examination room and don't talk'?"
The spirited guy looked unconcerned and continued to speak: "I think these questions are very unreasonable as a test for becoming a soul chaser. As combatants, we should pay more attention to combat knowledge and..."
Whoosh!
Along with the sound of breaking through the air, white light flashed past.
A bloody hole opened in the forehead of the spirited young man, and another one exploded in the back of his head. He froze for a moment and lay down on the desk.
The blood spread on the desk and fell to the ground, splashing into small red flowers.
Half of the white chalk stained with blood rolled onto the aisle between the desks, leaving a bloody line.
The teacher adjusted his glasses and said calmly: "There's so much nonsense... continue with the exam."
Long Qisheng froze, and the hand holding the pen trembled slightly.
He never expected that the teacher would kill the examinee just because he violated the examination rules!
This is so... this is so...
I want to call the police...
Looking at the four people who were stunned, the teacher raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said in a gentle tone: "The time is only half an hour, if you fail..."
The four people quickly started to do the questions.
Long Qisheng read the question several times and came to a conclusion: the person who asked the question obviously believed that "soul" and "god" both exist. As long as you answer along this line of thinking, you will not only get high marks, but at least you will not pass.
question.
So Long Qisheng quickly wrote down his answer:
[Humans have a soul, which exists in the form of a special energy, which is invisible under normal circumstances.]
[There is a God in the world. God is a powerful "mystery" formed by a cluster of strong human desires. He is born in response to human wishes. He has powerful abilities and no substantial form. He is a consciousness that exists based on laws. 】
[The soul comes from where it is supposed to come from and goes where it is supposed to go, forming a stable cycle with our world.]
[There is a connection, the soul and "god" may form another non-material world. 】
[Death may not be the end of life, life may continue to exist in another way that we cannot understand. 】
After finishing the questions, Long Qisheng held the paper in his hands, walked to the podium, and gently placed the paper on the table.
Next, it's time for trial.
Whether you want to become a spirit chaser or enter a training camp for mentally retarded children, it all depends on this!
Although his mind was determined, Long Qisheng also began to beat the drum in his heart.
In the midst of the torture, the teacher picked up the paper and read it for about a minute, then picked up a pen and wrote "80 points" on it.
Long Qisheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I am not a mentally retarded child...
"Congratulations on passing the test, you can go home." The teacher smiled.
Long Qisheng quickly walked out of the classroom as if he had received an amnesty.
The moment he walked out of the classroom, Long Qisheng felt in a trance.
After a brief period of confusion, he found that he was standing at the door of the classroom of Class 2, Grade 3, with his face facing the door, as if he had just arrived and stood at the door of the classroom.
The door was closed, locked, and sealed.
Judging from the thick dirt on the door handle, no one has been here for a long time.
There is a dark gray suitcase with Long Qisheng's name written on it in front of the door, with a note on it, "Recruit Long Qisheng, congratulations on passing the exam. This is your basic equipment, please keep it properly."
"..." Long Qisheng was speechless for a moment, "So, this is the ability of 'teacher'?"
"The classroom I just took the exam in was an 'illusion' created by him? A master of soul chasing, it's so terrifying..."
"The recruit is not really dead...but I'm afraid the psychological shadow left behind is quite large..."
"But I still feel that this exam is a bit puzzling. What is the purpose of doing this?"
"Could it be that...the test questions are not the focus at all, but the 'exam' itself is the important thing?"
"The teacher used his ability to create an illusory scene, customized the rules, and gave puzzling questions. He had only one purpose: to observe the recruits' reactions during the exam."
"And the 80 points I was given in the end may have nothing to do with the questions in the paper. This score is a rating of my performance in the entire exam."
Thinking of this, Long Qisheng was a little annoyed.
To be continued...
