I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 291 290. The importance of self-deception

"Huh? Guide?"

Lloyd was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and asked:

"Is he the one who recommended me to enroll? He seems to be away for something..."

"Well... the recommender may not be the guide, right? I don't understand. I am admitted normally, unlike rare recommended students like you...

But normally, the guides are all graduated seniors or ordinary faculty members, so they shouldn’t let honorary professors do this kind of thing, right? "

The kind-hearted researcher said, explaining to Lloyd what the correct admission process is.

Generally speaking, after freshmen receive the 'Admission Notice', that is, that exquisite invitation letter, they will encounter some 'special events'——

For example, weird divination results, strange dreams, inexplicable voices, or some vague words in front of you.

After experiencing these special events, you will meet your guide, and then the guide will conduct a simple test to get an 'admission evaluation form', and you will get a pair of armbands that all students have, and you will know that ' The special frequency of the school gate, so that you can enroll smoothly.

I don’t know why the admission process is so complicated. Maybe it’s to create some sense of ritual? In other words, conducting an 'admission survey' may also allow the new students to experience something in advance, right?

Lloyd then recalled his admission process. There was actually nothing wrong with it, right?

I also guessed at the beginning that there was no special frequency on the notice, and it was a kind of 'entrance examination', and I did perform divination to try to find a way to enroll.

Is it just that the direction of the divination may be a little off? Didn't encounter a 'special event'?

Uh... I wonder if being face-to-face with a being at the level of the 'Sir of the Evil God' counts as a 'special event'?

Anyway, it's like finding out that you can't get into the university, so you find another way, go through the trouble of the boss, climb over the high wall, and jump into the university.

As a result, after I came in, I was told that I could go through the main entrance...

Then because of his behavior of circumventing the firewall, he was misunderstood as a "lawless element"...

After Lloyd summed it up, he couldn't laugh or cry. He spread his hands helplessly and said:

"Okay, I understand, but I didn't encounter any of these 'special events' you mentioned at the time? So I had to figure out my own solution..."

"Maybe your supervisor is temporarily busy and has no time to help with the entrance ceremony? After all, the normal enrollment time for freshmen should be two months later. As long as it is completed before the start of the new school year, you don't need to be in such a hurry. When you come in now, classes haven’t started yet.”

The kind researcher explained and then added:

"Maybe your inspiration is low? So you didn't notice these 'special events'?"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to Lloyd, gesturing for him to pass his hand to him for a physical attribute check.

Lloyd handed over his hand generously.

The kind researcher held his wrist and gave him some inspiration.

He was not burned by Lloyd's [Inspiration], but had a slightly surprised look on his face and asked:

"It looks like it should only be at the third level, but how can the spiritual power be so strong? It is higher than the average in the academy... Is it the effect of the holy object you are wearing? Or are you really not a human being?"

Lloyd simply said:

"Forget it...you don't believe me even if I explain it. You can choose the answer you want to believe."

The researcher actually nodded and replied:

"Then I still believe that you are not a human being. After all, a holy object that can raise the third level of spiritual power to your level will definitely bring great side effects and consumption, but I see that your body structure and internal organs are very healthy. .”

This feels really weird. It feels like he knows he is lying to himself, but he is still willing to believe it...

Maybe I have to get used to the common culture of 'liar to myself' in this school in the future. After all, the average person here is [mildly insane]...

Is that Mizkatok University or Mizkatok Mental Hospital?

Lloyd couldn't help but cursed, and then heard the researcher continue:

"Although your inspiration is a bit lower than the average in the academy, it is enough."

"Then if they are a special group of people with extremely low inspiration and cannot encounter that kind of 'special event', wouldn't they be unable to enroll in school?"

Lloyd asked curiously again.

"Generally speaking, people with particularly low inspiration will not receive admission notices... Even if there are special cases, guides will take the initiative to come to them;

Or you can continue to wait patiently. When the admission season for freshmen is approaching, new changes will appear on the notice... In short, as long as you receive the notice, you will definitely be able to enroll, but you may not get the important admission evaluation. table'. "

The researcher answered patiently.

After hearing this, Lloyd couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't have any 'admission evaluation form'...

"The 'Enrollment Evaluation Form' you mentioned is very important?"

he asked quickly.

"Yes, this is related to the subjects you can choose and the tuition fees you need to pay... For example, for an 'E-' grade evaluation, you will have to pay a lot more tuition than for an 'A' grade evaluation. This is very frustrating. Human flesh hurts..."

"Ah... then if I don't have an 'Enrollment Evaluation Form'..."

"Probably we can only calculate it based on the lowest 'E-' rating?"

Lloyd felt a chill in his heart as he listened.

After working hard for a long time, I went to confront the "Sir of the Evil God"-level valuables. I went through all kinds of hardships, but in the end I didn't get the most important thing...

It’s over. The beautiful college life I dreamed of, the exciting scene in which I led my classmates to kill everyone, are all over...

He was feeling disappointed about this, but he heard the old professor who was collecting data next to him suddenly interjected:

"Take it."

Then, Lloyd saw a piece of ancient parchment appear in front of him, with a red tie tied into it and tied into an exquisite bow.

When the researcher saw this, his eyes widened immediately, and he slightly raised his voice and said:

"Ah? This is the 'Admission Evaluation Form'! Professor Lawrence actually made up one for you?"

As he spoke, he looked back at the professor who was still observing the data, and whispered:

"But...Professor, you are not his leader. Wouldn't it be a little illegal to issue a score sheet?"

"Then you go to the dean and report me."

The old professor replied without raising his head.

"Ah... forget it... it's okay..."

The researcher was speechless for a moment, and quickly turned back to Lloyd and said:

"Open it quickly and take a look?"

Lloyd quickly took the parchment suspended in mid-air and opened it. There are only five indicators above, namely 'Basic', 'Potential', 'Learning ability', 'Adaptability', and 'Risk coefficient'.

Behind the five indicators is the rating given by the old professor——

A shocking red, as if written in blood...

"How was it? What evaluation did the professor give you?"

the researcher asked curiously.

Lloyd did not answer directly, but turned back to the old professor and asked:

"Are you mistaken? We have just met. Your evaluation of me...may not be objective?"

The old professor still didn't raise his head, sneered and asked:

"Are you the professor or am I the professor?"

Lloyd was suddenly speechless.

When the researcher saw this, he comforted him very kindly:

"It's okay. Even if the entrance evaluation is not good, if you study hard later, the evaluation can be improved and the tuition fee can be reduced."

"This...the professor's evaluation is not bad, but..."

Lloyd spread his hands and said, somewhat dumbfounded:

"He gave me five 'S+'s..."

"what???"

Once again, the researcher's pupils contracted and his breathing became faster, as if he was taking a breath of cold air.

Then he shook his head vigorously and muttered in a low voice:

"You are not human...you are not human...you are not human..."

After trying so hard and deceiving himself, he turned to look at the professor and asked:

"Professor, is there anything wrong with your grading like this?"

At this time, the old professor finally pulled away the light curtain in front of him, and as if he had confirmed the validity of some data, he nodded, and then said:

"There is nothing wrong. I have checked the data. He indeed relied on his own means to open the portal to the academy with a mere brooch, and also broke through our space barrier in the duel field...

Yes, this is not a coincidence, an accident, or a lack of maintenance of the barrier, but he actually completed the calculation!

At first, he said that he had calculated the spatial coordinates of the college by himself using a brooch. I was still disdainful of this and thought he had done it by mistake. However, after checking the data, I found that he had actually used the brooch to do so more than once. The precise positioning...

This is indeed something that is hard to believe, but no matter how you comfort yourself, this is a fact verified by data. "

Lloyd could clearly feel that the old professor's tone of voice was less arrogant and indifferent than before, and more filled with excitement and joy that could not be concealed.

But as if the old professor didn't think it was enough, he clicked on the light curtain next to him and shared a bunch of data results on it with other researchers present.

These people were originally concentrating on their research work and did not care about Lloyd's situation. However, they were forcibly interrupted by the professor and couldn't help but turn their heads and look.

As a result, this sight immediately aroused exclamations in this science fiction-style laboratory:

"Is this a record of the use of the brooch? Huh? How is it possible? Why can such a simple brooch be used for precise spatial positioning? This... this is really messy! This brooch is not used in this way at all!"

"How dare he? How dare he do this? Why did he dare to walk into the portal opened with a brooch? Does he have a set of space measurement equipment that is more advanced than ours?"

"Impossible, impossible. I have been in the space department for five years and I still haven't mastered the method of accurate calculation. How did this person do it? It's like building a small plastic toy shovel. Like a Mizkatok!"

"Uh... my head hurts so much... I... haha... I understand! I understand! It turns out that these professional equipment are just decorations, and the brooch is the real artifact! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" "

Following this series of exclamations, a researcher immediately fell to the ground, holding his head in his hands and rolling around. His skin and limbs began to undergo varying degrees of alienation, and he began to slide into the abyss of severe madness.

But there was a crazy smile on his face, and he kept laughing loudly, without any sign of pain.

And every time he laughed, Lloyd could hear a panel prompt:

[Ding~Insanity value +10]

This researcher was driven into madness by the professor's words...

"Gotta help him!"

Lloyd said quickly, wanting to go over and lend a hand to see if he could get the person back.

However, the researcher's figure became blurred and blurred, and he disappeared out of thin air.

"This……"

Lloyd quickly looked back at the old professor.

He could feel that the alienated researcher had been 'teleported' away by the old professor in some way.

Although I don’t know where I was sent, it probably won’t be a good place…

But the old professor looked calm, without any regret or sadness. He just rubbed his sleeves and said:

"This is a very common thing in Mizkatok, especially for advanced disciplines such as the 'Space Department'. This is an unavoidable risk and cost. Everyone should make a corresponding decision before making a choice. Awareness...

You have to learn to accept that and respect their sacrifice. "

These words left Lloyd speechless for a moment.

He had a vague feeling that Mizkatok University might not be as beautiful as he had imagined.

He also directly felt the danger of 'cognitive collapse'.

And the thinking mode of 'you are lying to yourself' that was somewhat disdainful before is indeed a very important means of self-protection!

Lloyd looked at the other researchers present, and they were all muttering something in low voices.

"This guy named Lloyd is just lucky, eh! He must be just lucky!"

"The space field has always been mysterious and dangerous. Whatever happens will not surprise me, right! That's it!"

"It doesn't matter, I can do this in the future, it's not a big deal, I can do it too!"

"He is not human...he is not human..."

They didn't feel sad for the researcher for a moment, they were all 'deceiving themselves' to prevent themselves from making the same mistake again.

Everyone looked in great pain, and their mental state was constantly flickering, as if they might collapse at any time.

After about a few minutes, their condition gradually stabilized, and there was no second alienated person on the spot.
