Chapter 205 Chapter 205 Evil Thoughts Become Demons
Due to various factors, the impact of the K City monster-eating case is far from over.
In the words of later generations, it was an important turning point, marking the complete coming to the fore of the struggle between human awakeners and monsters.
A new era has arrived.
Faced with this tremendous epoch-making change, some are happy while others are sad.
Those born into the lower classes hope to become awakened and change their fate, while the wealthy and powerful desperately want to control the new forces and maintain their status...
At the same time, various fraudulent companies and products claiming to be awakened emerged, and some superstitious cults came out to cause chaos.
Fortunately, the government is not just there to sit around and do nothing.
A series of new policies that had been prepared long ago were quickly promulgated and implemented, and major official media outlets forwarded the "Monsters and Awakeners" series of Q&A videos produced by the Capital Special Bureau.
As soon as those fraud gangs and cult members started to defraud people of their money, they were handcuffed and detained by the police and awaited sentencing.
Such a tough attitude that leaves no room for maneuver frightened a large number of people with ill intentions and shook the social atmosphere.
In contrast, the awakened ones became popular and sought after by everyone, and even the Shuiyun Brigade where He Junxia was located could not avoid having a few people with connections squeezed in.
However, the Shuiyun Brigade is different from ordinary special bureau branches. Even those who are sent in with connections must meet the requirements in terms of physical fitness, professional skills, etc.
Otherwise, you will go back to where you came from.
Therefore, the few people with connections who were shoved in were all relatively normal. While their personalities varied—some were enthusiastic and lively, others were cold and arrogant—none of them were the typical playboys seen in TV dramas; they were serious and thorough in their work.
He Junxia pushed open the door to the logistics department and said, "Meng Leshan, Jian Fu, you two should get ready. We're taking the high-speed train to V City at 10:30 to conduct inspiration tests on the children there."
This is a policy launched by the country after the inspiration detector was improved, providing free inspiration testing to high school and college students across the country.
Children whose inspiration exceeds 90 will be transferred to the Awakener School for special training with the consent of their parents.
Since the implementation of this policy, many talented students with inspiration scores exceeding 85 have emerged, and five students have officially awakened during the inspiration test.
However, inspiration detection is not a simple matter. Only awakeners above level three can use the inspiration detector.
There are less than 100 third-level awakeners in the country, otherwise the country would not limit the first batch of tests to high school and college students.
It is precisely because of this that the free members of the Shuiyun Brigade will be sent on business trips to various counties and cities, and He Junxia is responsible for the three cities of V, G, and H.
Originally, he was only responsible for H City and V City, but he had just broken through to the fifth level a few days ago, and something went wrong when the third-level awakener in G City was dealing with monsters, so the higher-ups gave him the responsibility of G City as well.
"Thank you, Brother Zheng."
"Brother Zheng, I'll go get the tester."
It takes a lot of energy for a high-level awakener to use the inspiration detector, but following a high-level awakener to test inspiration is a good job.
The people in the logistics department looked at them enviously as they busied themselves with work, some taking instruments and some packing up things.
It’s so good to be related to others. They also want to be related to others, and they follow Song Qi, who is gentle and easy to talk to. It makes people envious just thinking about it.
The two of them packed up very quickly. Before He Junxia had finished the small package of beef cubes, they had already packed up and were ready to leave at any time.
Meng Leshan is Meng Wenshi's cousin. He has not awakened yet and is a relative of Meng Wenshi. Jian Fu is a second-level awakener sent by the Special Bureau of City D in the name of training.
Both of them are related to him, and some have asked him to take care of them, so he usually asks them to accompany him when he has something to do.
He Junxia poured all the spicy beef cubes into her mouth, chewed them, and swallowed them, leaving a fiery and spicy taste in her mouth and throat.
Too spicy, definitely avoid!
He Junxia couldn't help but hiss softly, and even a few thin drops of sweat appeared on his forehead and nose tip due to the spiciness.
Jian Fu was puzzled: "Brother Zheng, are you not feeling well?"
He Junxia instantly shut his mouth and stopped hissing. He smiled faintly: "Do you have Coke?"
"Yes, Brother Zheng, do you want Pepsi or Coca-Cola?"
"Pepsi, right?"
Relatively speaking, Pepsi is sweeter and should be able to relieve the spiciness better.
He Junxia took the Coke handed to her by Jian Fu as usual, opened the pull ring and took several big gulps. The sweet and refreshing iced Coke gradually dispelled the burning spiciness.
He Junxia glanced at the brand name on the snack packaging and silently added this brand to the blacklist of brands she would never buy from.
…
2 p.m.
The special car of the Special Department arrived at No. 3 Middle School on time. The principal and several school leaders were already waiting in front of the school gate.
Although it was the first time they met, He Junxia still exchanged a few familiar words with several school leaders before following them to the student gathering area.
A total of 3,268 students from the first, second, and third year of high school were all crowded together on the playground. He Junxia also saw some young men and women who were obviously not students mixed in with them.
But he didn't say anything.
Whether you can awaken a spiritual weapon does not depend on your family background or status, but entirely on your talent. If you don’t have enough talent, no matter what your parents’ status is, you will not be able to do it.
Otherwise, when the awakened ones were not exposed to the public, those second-generation people at the top level stayed in the Special Bureau every day, eating and living with the awakened ones, but they also did not awaken their spiritual weapons.
Meng Leshan and Jian Fu took out a large inspiration detector from a mahogany box and placed it on a specially cleared space in the middle of the playground.
Meng Leshan and Jian Fu shouted expertly, "Start with Class 1 of Senior 3. Come one class at a time. Don't cut in line or crowd. Everyone stand within the red line."
"After the ceremony begins, close your eyes, avoid whispering, and quietly feel the power deep in your heart."
“If you find yourself hiding something inside of you, don’t hesitate, focus your attention immediately and try to let it out.”
"Class 1 of Senior 3 is entering!"
He Junxia stood next to the inspiration detector. After all the students in Class 1 walked into the red line, he placed the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron in the palm of his hand and used his spiritual power to activate the inspiration detector.
In an instant, the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron burst into a dazzling colorful halo, encompassing all the students in the red line, including Meng Leshan and Jian Fu.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
A full ten minutes passed, and the inspiration detector did not issue any prompts, which means that there were no students in the first batch of tests whose inspiration exceeded 80.
The head teacher beside him sighed.
He was nearly sixty years old, having been a teacher for over thirty years, and he no longer had any expectations for fantasy stories. Even though he knew that an Awakened One was going to test the students' inspiration, he had no intention of joining in.
But he hoped that the children in his class, like the rising sun, could catch up with the passage to the new world, but unfortunately they did not have that good luck.
A few minutes later
Meng Leshan shouted loudly: "Students from Class 2 of Senior 3, come in."
The inspiration detector was activated again and again, but still did not give any prompts, silently making the students and teachers wonder if it was broken.
It’s impossible that there is not a single highly inspired student in several classes, right?
During the break, several school leaders came to inquire about the news casually, but He Junxia could only shake his head slightly.
There is nothing wrong with the inspiration detector. People with high inspiration are rare, and there may only be a few among thousands of people.
The school leaders had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
Fortunately, this disappointment did not last long. When it was the turn of Class 8 of Senior 3, the inspiration detector finally moved, and an orange-purple beam of light appeared within the red line.
He Junxia glanced at the instrument: "Inspiration value 85."
Jian Fu walked forward with a smile: "Student, please come with me to do a simple interest registration."
The boy was flattered, as if he had not yet recovered from the fact that he was the "chosen one".
——Because of the scarcity of awakened people and highly inspired people, students usually refer to these people as the chosen ones.
The other students all looked at him with envy. As high school students on the verge of adulthood, they already understood the meaning of this matter.
The head teacher of Class 8 in Grade 3 is even more proud of it.
Jian Fu asked for the boy's ID number, home address, and parent contact information, then let him go. After all the students were tested and the data was reported, someone would naturally contact them.
"Students from Class 9 of Senior 3, come in."
Groups of people come and go
The boy who showed up before seemed like a flash in the pan. I tested more than ten classes in a row, but didn’t find a single student with high inspiration.
"Students from Class 6, Grade 2, come in."
He Junxia wiped the sweat from his head. Repeated and long inspiration tests were a considerable burden even for a fifth-level awakener.
The students of Class 6 stood within the red line. He Junxia started the test as usual, and the inspiration detector did not issue a prompt as usual. However, when the next group of students were about to come in, there was still a student with his eyes closed who did not leave.
"Wu Xinli, Wu Xinli."
The head teacher called out the students' names to remind her that it was time to leave. Wu Shenglan opened her eyes, her eyes filled with loss.
It seemed like there was really something inside her body, but no matter how hard she tried, that thing refused to come out.
Why?
Is this really my illusion?
Looking at the motionless inspiration detector, a pair of bluntly trimmed nails dug deep into the palm of his hand.
If only I were an awakened person or a highly inspired student, my mother wouldn’t have to work so hard.
Wu Shenglan took a deep breath. She felt that it was not an illusion, and she wanted to fight for herself again.
"Teacher Jian, I really feel like there's something in my body. Can you let me test it again?"
Facing the girl's pleading gaze, Jane Fu did not soften her heart. She had encountered similar situations several times when she went to H City for inspiration testing last week.
The first time she softened her heart and didn't think too much about it. She asked Brother Zheng if he could help the child test again.
Zheng Ge agreed after seeing her pleading, but the result did not change. Instead, more and more students continued to be unwilling and asked to retake the test.
One word from her caused big trouble.
If it were any other high-level awakener, even if they didn't say it outwardly, they would definitely be dissatisfied with her increasing workload.
In other words, Zheng Ge is a good-tempered person and was not angry. When she apologized after the test, she also said that she was also responsible for this matter and did not think it through carefully, so she cannot be blamed entirely.
Jian Fu shook her head. "Sorry, little classmate, each person can only be tested once. If you think there's something wrong with the test results, you can go to the Special Bureau in City D to apply for a second inspiration test."
Of course, applying for additional testing at the Special Bureau costs a fee, and it's quite high. Even if you're sharing a bill, it can still cost 30,000 yuan per session.
