I upgrade 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 'Enrollment 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 ‘entrance survey’ may also allow 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 in the notice, and it was a kind of 'entrance test'. 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 incident’?

Uh... I wonder if being face-to-face with a being of the level of '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 high wall and jump into the university with the effort of the boss.

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

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

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. You come in now, and there are no classes.”

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 elevate third-level 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 will 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, there will be guides who 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 'admission 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 an 'A' grade evaluation. This is very frustrating. Human flesh hurts..."

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

"Maybe we can only rate it as the lowest 'E-' level, right?"

Lloyd felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.

After working so hard for so long, he went to face the precious item of 'Descendant of the Evil God' level, and went through so much hardship, but in the end, he didn't get the most important thing...

It's over. The wonderful college life I longed for, the high-energy scene of killing all the enemies with my classmates, are all over...

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

"Take it."

Then, Lloyd saw a piece of ancient parchment appearing in front of him, with a red ribbon tied on it, tied into an exquisite bow.

The researcher opened his eyes wide when he saw this, and raised his voice slightly, saying:

"Ah? This is the 'Admission Evaluation Form'! Professor Lawrence actually gave you a copy?"

He then turned back to look at the professor who was still observing the data, and whispered:

"But... Professor, you are not his guide. If you issue a score sheet, wouldn't it be a bit against the rules?"

"Then 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 and take a look?"

Lloyd quickly took the parchment scroll floating in the air and opened it.

There are only five indicators on it, namely 'foundation', 'potential', 'learning ability', 'adaptability', and 'risk factor'.

After the five indicators, there is the score given by the old professor-

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

"How is 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 just met, your evaluation of me... may not be objective?"

The old professor still did not raise his head, sneered, and asked back:

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

Lloyd was speechless all of a sudden.

The researcher saw this and comforted him kindly:

"It's okay, even if the admission assessment is not good, you can improve the assessment and reduce the tuition if you study hard later."

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

Lloyd spread his hands and said with some laughter:

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

"Ah???"

The researcher's pupils contracted again, 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 to deceive himself, he turned his head and looked at the professor and asked:

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

The old professor finally pulled away the light screen in front of him, and nodded as if to confirm the validity of some data, and then said:

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

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

At first, he said that he used the brooch to calculate the spatial coordinates of the college. I was still disdainful of this and thought he was just an accident. As a result, through data verification, I found that he had used the brooch to accurately locate more than once...

This is indeed an unbelievable thing, 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 had lost some of the previous arrogance and indifference, and had more of the kind of excitement and joy that could not be concealed.

But the old professor seemed to be dissatisfied, and he nodded at the light screen beside him and shared the data results on it with other researchers present.

These people were originally doing their own research work without distraction, and did not care about Lloyd's situation. As a result, they were interrupted by the professor and could not help but turn their heads to look.

As a result, this sight immediately caused a cry of surprise in this sci-fi laboratory:

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

"How dare he? How dare he do this? Why did he dare to walk into the portal opened by the 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 precise measurement. How did this person do it? This is just like building a Mitzkatok with a small plastic toy shovel!"

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

Accompanied by this series of exclamations, a researcher immediately fell to the ground, holding his head with both hands, rolling non-stop, his skin and limbs began to be alienated to varying degrees, and began to slide into the abyss of severe madness.

But he had a crazy smile on his face, and he was still laughing loudly, without any pain.

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

[Ding~ Madness value +10]

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

"We have to help him!"

Lloyd said hurriedly, wanting to go over and lend a hand to see if he could get him back.

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

"This..."

Lloyd hurriedly turned back and looked at the old professor.

He could feel that the alienated researcher was "teleported" away by the old professor in some way.

Although I don't know where I'm being sent to, it's probably not a good place...

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

"This is a very common thing in Mizkatok, especially for advanced subjects like the 'Space Department'. This is an unavoidable risk and cost. Everyone should be prepared before making a choice...

You must learn to accept this kind of thing and respect their sacrifice."

These words left Lloyd speechless for a while.

He vaguely felt that this Mizkatok University might not be as beautiful as he had imagined before.

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

And the previously somewhat disdainful 'self-deception' thinking mode is indeed an important means of self-protection!

Lloyd looked at the other researchers present, all of whom were mumbling something in a low voice.

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

"The space field has always been mysterious and dangerous. I won't be surprised by anything that happens. Yes! That's it!"

"It doesn't matter. I can do this in the future. It's no 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 "lying to themselves" to prevent themselves from repeating the same mistakes.

Everyone looked very painful, and their mental state was flickering, as if they could collapse at any time.

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