The Grim Reaper Can't Be Tricked

It's a black box.

It is closed on all sides, reinforced with iron frames, and four chandeliers are respectively attached to the four corners of the roof. Careful observation can reveal that the chandeliers vibrate slightly for some reason.

There are more than 20 people locked in the black box, most of them are around [-] years old, and they should all be college students.

They haven't communicated since entering the black box, and everyone is quietly observing the environment and other people.

Until a young man with an inch cut took the initiative to say: "I only got in after passing the preliminary entrance examination and the face-to-face examination. How about you?"

The people around him were willing to break the calm, so they chatted up one by one: "I chatted online, and the other side invited me to take the entrance examination. He said he was the dean."

"I recommend it. But I still have to participate in the interview assessment."

"My parents are internal employees, and they have recommended positions. They have also passed the interview."

"The small admissions advertisement on the telegraph pole at the entrance says that you can enter without taking the test."

"..."

Everyone turned to look at the person who spoke. It was a young man about 20 years old, with striking yellow hair and pale skin.

"The University of Michigan is still posting a small advertisement for admissions?" Someone asked in a low voice.

"Maybe." The red leather jacket who passed the face-to-face exam by recommendation said, "My parents said that the University of Michigan will expand its enrollment by 5 new students this year, open three regions in Europe, Asia, and North America, and set up [-] exam rooms. You have to pass the preliminary entrance examination, face-to-face examination and overtime quiz to be able to enter the school smoothly. During this period, many people were recruited. We are the fifth batch of freshmen in the Xinhaicheng examination room. I heard that hundreds of people have been recruited before. So I boldly It is guessed that there is a shortage of people in densely populated areas, so if you can't find a source of students, you will cast a wide net for fishing."

"What kind of good fish can be caught by casting a wide net? A group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp."

"No matter what the University of Michigan thinks, it's a one-off."

"We took the exam honestly and overcame many obstacles to get to the overtime quiz. How could they be admitted without the exam!"

"The secretive style is gone in my heart."

"The third-rate technical school still has the qualifications?"

"..."

Everyone looked at Huang Maosangpi, who was complained about by them, rotten fish, rotten shrimp and nine leaked fish, and wanted to refute his complaints, but think about it. It takes four years for a bachelor's degree and three years for a technical school, but the University of Michigan really only needs to study for three years. There is a famous saying that undergraduate The technical schools that use brains do it, and the University of Michigan seems to do it a little more. The University of Michigan is known as a famous American school, but in fact it can't be out of a thousand degrees, and it can't be wrong if it is said to be a third-rate technical school.

But if the University of Michigan is not qualified, why would they fight for a freshman quota?

On the other hand, this yellow-haired mourner probably can't even remember the full name of the secret code, so he can get the qualification for admission without taking the test, and it was caught by a small advertisement on the roadside!

How can it not make people psychologically unbalanced!

I couldn't find any words to refute for a while, and I didn't want to lower my self-esteem to deal with the "fish" caught by the wide net. The freshmen started a new topic as if nothing had happened, but this time they subconsciously lowered the volume, and didn't want Huangmao Sangpi to spit out after hearing it. Groove that breaks their hearts.

"Speaking of one thing, the University of Michigan opened pilot campuses in Europe, Asia, and Africa this year. In Europe, Great Britain and Maoxiong were selected, in Asia, Huaxia and Bharat were selected, and in Africa, Lahab was selected. This is also the reason for the expansion of enrollment this year. "

"The news section of the forum reported this matter. Some people analyzed that the reason why the University of Michigan suddenly opened five pilot campuses is because in recent years, anomalies have frequently erupted around the world, and the institution needs more fresh blood."

"It turned out to be like this." Someone suddenly turned up the volume, remembering something: "Speaking of visions, do you know the 'Red Shoes Incident'?"

"What red shoes? I've never heard of it."

"It happened last year in a small European village called Strasbourg. A total of 1405 people in the village fell into a state of madness and excitement. They danced for seven days and seven nights. By the time the investigation team arrived, more than 700 people had died of exhaustion. "

"Follow-up reports in the news section said it was mass hysteria, also known as dancing hysteria. I didn't say what caused it specifically, but until now there are still investigation teams and the Holy See stationed there."

"I also know this, and the strange thing is that there are similar incidents recorded in Europe from the 14th to the 16th century. Hundreds of people suddenly danced until they died of exhaustion. When they died, their expressions were distorted and painful. Like a little girl, so it's called the 'Red Shoes Incident'."

……

Cen Jin picked his palms, his eyes were distracted, he didn't want to hear it but the volume of the people on the opposite side was too loud.

The content of the chat kept drilling into the ears, to the effect of the "red shoes incident" in Europe and the "coastline of death" in Africa. The former killed more than 700 people due to dancing hysteria last year, and the latter ran aground in the spring of this year. 200 people on board were killed , the body was hung to dry on the coast but the murderer could not be found.

In recent years, visions that cannot be explained by science have frequently occurred around the world.

At the beginning, the officials of various countries will give explanations, until the two visions of the 'Red Shoes Incident' and the 'Death Coastline' have been exposed one after another, and there are many speculations among the people, and the officials are silent and no longer cover up.

At the beginning of the year, some people broke the news on the Internet that there is a special organization dedicated to eliminating visions among the governments of various countries. Some people even bluntly stated that the world view of restraint mythology that emerged in the early [-]th century really exists, and the gods will be restored in the world...

These two breaking news posts were posted on the Internet and were not deleted, which is equivalent to the official default.

However, these visions are too far away from ordinary people, and most people do not believe in them. Cen Jin is neutral and has no interest in them.

He was admitted to New Haicheng University last year by means of a work-study program. Last week, he was reported to take the exam outside the school and was dismissed.

When I left the school with a lot of luggage, I saw a small advertisement for admissions posted on the telephone pole at the door.

According to the advertisement, admission to this technical school is exempt from entrance examination, and if you pass the quiz, you will be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees for three years, and you will have a double degree certificate, as well as various scholarships and poverty subsidies.

For Cen Jin, it was definitely an irresistible temptation!

As for the Pheasant University whose full name is Miskatonic University, he doesn't care, as long as he has a diploma and can find a stable and easy job, that's enough.

Cen Jin doesn't have much ambition, and is satisfied with a salary of three thousand.

So compared to the vision, he paid more attention to the enrollment expansion of the University of Denver.

Dare to expand the enrollment by [-] new students and open [-] examination rooms at one go, which shows that the school has a lot of money, and the amount of poverty subsidies and scholarships is definitely satisfactory. As long as you work hard, maybe your college life will be easier.

Cen Jin raised his face slightly, with a faint longing flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly the chandelier above the head swayed more and a phantom appeared, but no one saw it except Cen Jin who looked up.

Cen Jin thought to himself, it should be a small earthquake.

Xinhai City is close to the earthquake zone, and every summer there are frequent small earthquakes but never major disasters.

Just as Cen Jin was freeing his mind, a three-dimensional sound effect suddenly sounded from the black box: "Good morning, candidates. Welcome to the annual overtime quiz at Miskatonic University."

"This quiz will determine whether you are qualified to step into the new world and become a part of the University of Michigan—of course it will also determine the classmates, teachers and resources you will be assigned after you become a formal freshman."

The freshmen stopped talking instantly, and the black box was as quiet as a cicada, except for a female voice broadcasting from nowhere.

"Not much to say, everyone is about to arrive at the examination room."

The faces of the freshmen changed slightly when they heard the words, and those who had just come into contact with the new worldview were so nervous that they were about to cry.

Cen Jin was indifferent, the game of the University of Michigan examiners was psychological oppression, he was familiar with it, whoever got nervous first would lose.

"Don't worry, everyone, the secret conference will guarantee the safety of everyone's life and property. Then, I am announcing the exam questions and precautions, please keep in mind—"

"Precautions 1. The gods are not trustworthy. 2. Depending on the situation, ask for support, and the school will determine the student's quiz results at its discretion. 3. Allow teamwork. 4. This is the most important point. When you or your companions are upset When you feel restless, irritable, hallucinating, or mentally unstable, immediately suspend the quiz and return. If you cannot return independently, you should immediately ask for support."

"Now announce the test question: Please pick up the pollutants in the river. Time limit: 180 minutes. Requirement: None."

……

At this time, a [-]-horsepower giant mining truck was driving on the road leading to Xinhai City's no-man's restricted area with a square, airtight, pure black black box made of special metal materials, followed by three modified off-road vehicles. , followed by a military helicopter overhead.

In the modified off-road vehicle in the middle, there are satellite monitoring devices and splicing panels on both sides. The console is densely covered with hundreds of buttons, and the two observers are flying with their fingers, almost becoming afterimages. The splicing panel quickly calls out the satellite map of New Haicheng , the remote sensing map around the uninhabited restricted area, and the surveillance video in the black box.

Shi Chahai, dean of the University of Michigan, said with his hands behind his back: "The freshmen just entered the black box, and each of them showed a sense of vigilance and competition. When the calm was broken, they each judged the situation and evaluated who was a partner and who was a competitor. Intentionally or unintentionally, a small group was formed. When it was announced that they could work as a team, these small groups immediately reached a cooperative intention."

Observer: "This freshman class is excellent."

Shi Shahai said coolly, "However, our examiners have mixed in among the freshmen."

Observer: "..."

Shi Chahai: "In fact, no matter the preliminary exam, face-to-face exam or overtime quiz, they are all comprehensive freshmen's personal qualities, evaluating whether they are qualified to become Michigan university students. It is only the first step to determine whether they can get in touch with the real world. .and,"

He showed a kind smile: "Which school have you ever seen in the entrance exam and teamwork?"

Observer: "..." Which school would deliberately induce students to form teams and install spies? !

"However, this group of new students does have great potential." Shi Chahai said in a deep voice: "After discussing with the University of Michigan and the organization, last year, the mark with the high-risk level of death spirit power was released to the world. Only children with B-level and above potential can see it." Arrived. However, only 364 people have been recorded so far, and there are only 67 people in the Huaxia region. Among this batch of freshmen, 8 people have been found to have the potential of B-level or above."

The higher the potential level, the higher the mental pollution index that can be tolerated, and it is easier than ordinary people to eliminate the indescribable weirdness that exists in the human world.

They are natural fighters.

The University of Michigan picks out children with such potential from the crowd, accepts them as students, and trains them into professional fighters.

This group of freshmen has unlimited potential, so Shi Shahai took time out of his busy schedule to serve as an examiner.

He scanned the faces of each freshman in the surveillance video one by one, until he saw the yellow-haired mourner in the corner, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Who is this?"

Observer: "His name is Cen Jin."

Then?

"It's gone." The observer said: "His name is in the admissions entry system, do I need to adjust the file?"

"never mind."

Shi Shahai shook his head, the admissions system would not make mistakes, it might be that his performance was too ordinary and he failed to remember the face.

Observer: "It's still 200 meters away from the destination: Sihai Grotto, the uninhabited restricted area of ​​Xinhai City. All units should pay attention to slow down. Please do a good job of field investigation, risk control, mental pollution index records... and other safety preparations."

Notified three times in a row, the giant heavy truck carrying the black box slowed down visible to the naked eye, and stopped in the open space in front of the no-man's restricted area prohibiting entry sign, followed by a helicopter circling over the sky, and three off-road vehicles parked in the open space one by one.

The huge black box quickly collapsed, and the freshmen who were locked inside were shocked to find that they were originally in the urban area, but now they appeared in a primeval forest with towering trees. Black boxes, jumbo trucks and heavily armed soldiers all around.

"Where is this?" Someone whispered.

The red leather jacket who recommended the place came in was stunned, and he memorized popular science like a textbook: "Sihai Grottoes, Xinhai City's no-man's forbidden zone, in 1981, there were several strange incidents where tourists bumped into corpses floating in the air and became mentally disturbed. Later, they were taken over by the investigation team. It will soon be listed as a restricted area. Its name comes from the homonym of corpse cave, because it is rumored that there is an underground reservoir here, which is densely covered with corpses of various dynasties, like a large water burial tomb."

"But I remember that Sihai Grotto is included in the file of the fourth-level high-risk restricted area!"

Both Mao Mao and Great Britain know which country.

The full name of Miskatonic University: Miskatonic University, borrowing the name and location from the Cthulhu mythology, a fictional university and address.Apart from this, there is no similarity, only a tribute.

There is no off-campus test substitute, and the protagonist is "special" in abiding by the law.

Potential level organization and world view will be popularized later.

Demining: A lot of legends and unofficial histories will be used, which are basically secondary creations and private creations. If you are a theist or believer, it is recommended to watch carefully.

1. Red dancing shoes: In 1374, 10 people on the banks of the Rhine suddenly danced and died of exhaustion. In 1518, a woman in France danced in pain. A month later, 400 people danced together into convulsions, completely out of control.Afterwards, the 'Dancing Plague' incidents occurred successively in Germany, Holland, Switzerland and so on.
