San Francisco Boarding School
Jiang Kexin knew something about history and he knew that perfume was often used to cover up bad odors in history.
Especially in medieval France, where the lack of good personal hygiene led to the widespread use of perfume to mask body odor, strong perfumes often signaled an attempt to conceal an unpleasant odor.
Therefore, when Jiang Kexin encountered this strong perfume smell, he was very curious about what was hidden behind it.
Jiang Kexin was 100% alert. After all, he was 50% sure that the cause of the fire was closely related to everything he saw in front of him.
Jiang Kexin looked around and tried to find some clues before the owner of the room came out.
As he did so, the ancient dice began to ring again.
Jiang Kexin's investigative appraisal results: 1d100 = 64/65 "Success." Good luck! Next, please observe your surroundings carefully, paying attention to any areas you haven't noticed before.
Jiang Kexin raised his head and followed the instructions. If he didn't feel anything, it would be the layout of the room. He was just confused by the smell of perfume and didn't observe carefully for a moment, so Jiang Kexin saw the short chairs and the table that was only suitable for the height of a child.
One obvious difference between here and the outside is that it is too miniature, as if the person living here is a child, or like a toy house built by an adult for a doll.
But the facilities here were so valuable. He saw a strange octopus sculpture on the table. The upper body of the octopus was squatting with its claws and fangs bared, and the lower body had some claws, which were grasping the base.
Jiang Kexin felt familiar and frightened at the first sight. He swallowed and carefully searched his memory for the Book of the Dead and some notes of his predecessors that he had read before.
Along with the sound of the dice, his memory also stopped at a page of information.
Jiang Kexin's Cthulhu Mythos analysis results: 1d100 = 35/35 "Success." It seems your growth will bring you special benefits. What do you remember?
Jiang Kexin murmured to himself, his lips slightly parted: "Cthulhu..."
Yes, Cthulhu. That information said that when the stars are in place and Cthulhu calls, go on a pilgrimage, liberate and awaken it, and it will dominate the earth again. Is this school related to Cthulhu?
Jiang Kexin had too little information. He looked at the wall, where many children's photos were hung. From the style of these photos, Jiang Kexin roughly knew whose office and room this was. This was probably the principal's office. He was going to see the principal, but would the principal be a child or a dwarf?
Jiang Kexin felt that he had become more and more suspicious recently, until a creaking sound was heard and a chair that Jiang Kexin had not noticed turned from the darkness. A short, hairless weirdo in a suit looked at him with his hands crossed.
Jiang Kexin looked at him and decisively overturned his previous stubborn idea. The principal was a dwarf. First of all, he didn't mean to mock dwarves. He just felt that this dwarf was not human. He looked very strange. There was only a little hair on his head, or even none at all. His eyes were small, like two beans welded together. He was also short, about four feet tall, with thin and withered hands like branches, and his teeth were bared and clawed. Humans probably wouldn't look like this.
There was a strong smell of perfume on him, and Jiang Kexin could also see his sharp teeth.
Before Jiang Kexin could sort out the current situation, he saw the strange man speak.
What he said was a bit confusing, like a toddler just learning to speak, and there was a hint of accent in his words from time to time, which made it difficult for Jiang Kexin to understand clearly. Fortunately, he spoke slowly and leisurely.
He said, "Hello... Jiang Kexin, right? First of all, you're late. You're the last student to report, but it doesn't matter. I'm the principal here, and I'm very happy to meet you. Now we're going to get down to business, right? But before we do, I'd like to ask a few questions."
"Do you think humans were evil in the beginning?"
Jiang Kexin didn't answer. He didn't think a child could understand these things, so he gritted his teeth.
Jiang Kexin did the right thing, at least that could be seen from the dwarf's expression. The dwarf jumped down, holding onto the table to his level. Then, as he walked, he said with a relieved attitude: "You look like a real child now. Okay, one last question. We accept children here who are beyond the control of their parents. Do you think you are one of them?"
Jiang Kexin shook his head. He looked like he didn't know why he was sent here, but he actually didn't know. However, the principal didn't think so. He sneered and limped to a brown wooden cabinet next to him and pressed it down.
A long passage appeared, and he pointed a thin finger deep inside, as if to urge them to leave. "Go ahead, new student! Welcome to Dream King School. You'll have a wonderful few months there. Your dormitory is on the fourth floor, room 432. Don't worry, there will be a tutor to take care of you."
Jiang Kexin did not enter the secret passage so quickly, but instead stopped and looked around.
However, apart from what he had observed before, he didn't see anything, but instead heard the sound of failure from the dice being thrown.
[Jiang Kexin's investigative appraisal results: 1d100=82/65 "Failure." Good luck doesn't last forever.]
Jiang Kexin had no choice but to walk into the passage.
The passage was not short and he came out in a moment. The live broadcast followed his movements, and both sides had different reactions. It was a strange world.
[That's a Hilichurl, right?]
[That's probably the case. So why would the Hilliards build a school? I don't think they have such kind intentions.]
[Isn't this something that can be easily guessed? They're creating terrorist activities.]
Who is this newcomer? I've never seen him on the leaderboard, but I'm really looking forward to his death.
Most of the weird worlds are very dull, and they have experienced far more stories than these, which have long ceased to arouse their interest.
Shengweisai live broadcast room.
The barrage was noisy again, but very popular, and they were discussing the issue raised by the dwarf.
[This sentence has a deeper meaning. Does it mean that except for us, the Chosen Ones, no one else is a real child? Doesn't that mean our Chosen Ones will be without companions this time?]
I agree with the above. Didn't you notice the horrified expressions on the faces of those around Everton at the beginning? I'd say there's something wrong with that.
Mr. Wang was also analyzing what Jiang Kexin had encountered. He did not take the opinions of those barrage comments into consideration. Those were just speculations of netizens, and they should be more cautious. After all, the link cannot transmit too much in a day, and they need a more accurate and specific analysis.
Therefore, Mr. Wang's team is working hard to analyze the people Jiang Kexin meets.
Until a researcher, writing furiously, raised his paper high in the air. His behavior was a bit exaggerated, prompting Mr. Wang to curse: "What's so fussy about this? If it can't directly allow our Chosen One to pass, I will fire you."
He smiled sheepishly at Dr. Liu after he finished speaking. Dr. Liu, pushing his glasses up and working on a deduction, ignored the farce until the researcher who had stepped forward bowed his head in apology, then, with difficulty concealing his excitement, said, "Report, Mr. Wang, based on the people Mr. Jiang encountered, our team has conducted the following personality analysis."
"Based on the principal's guidance and comments about 'normal children', as well as the demeanor of the person we met from Everton's surroundings, we can infer that this school specializes in accepting students with personality disorders. Such schools may be called behavior modification schools, special needs schools, or therapeutic boarding schools. Although we don't know much about the specific personality disorders at Everton, it does not mean that we cannot further investigate related cases and incidents."
"However, what is puzzling is that neither Everton nor Jiang Kexin are mentioned in the existing materials, and only four students are recorded as having died. To obtain a more complete answer, we need to conduct an in-depth investigation and collect more information from Mr. Jiang's perspective."
"School for personality disorders, are there many children like this in the United States?" Ms. Liu asked Mr. Wang while looking at the detective question. Mr. Wang had a serious face. He didn't understand the intention of this copy at the moment, but even if the matter was very serious, it did not prevent him from answering Ms. Liu.
"Ms. Liu is like this. As far as I know, the fifth edition of the American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) states that approximately 9% of people will suffer from a personality disorder in their lifetime. This data covers people of all ages, and the proportion is neither high nor low. However, only the United States can set up a school to accept people with this condition. They always like to do useless things on useless things.
Mr. Wang was making sharp comments mercilessly until a sentence in English interrupted him: "Hello, Mr. Wang, we just arrived here and heard you commenting on our motherland. This seems a bit impolite." Mr. Wang looked up and found that the speaker was a blond, blue-eyed researcher in a white coat.
Dr. Liu immediately stood up and offered a handshake. Seeing Liu Ke's surprised expression, the researcher smiled and explained, "My motherland, for the benefit of the world and all nations, has sent me here to assist you in helping Jiang Kexin complete all her challenges."
"I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation." The researcher said friendly.
Everyone else present was confused by the US action, but Dr. Liu seemed to have a clear idea. He pushed his glasses up, knowing why it was happening. It was actually a very simple matter.
The superiors have received the notice, and Shengwei Sai has informed all leaders that the successful clearance of Jiang Kexin, his adopted son, is crucial.
Every challenge he takes must be successful, because it will determine whether the world can achieve upgrading.
However, this indirectly illustrates the importance of Jiang Kexin. In order to keep it secret, the country only told the outside world that it was a cooperation. After all, Jiang Kexin determines what the world will be like, and they cannot let Jiang Kexin make any mistakes.
