The fully enclosed room only had a dark one-way glass, making it look like an interrogation room.
Li Wei had been sitting on the stool in the middle for an hour, her palms slightly sweaty.
She wasn't afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that this so-called "conscience test" would bring up some strange questions.
For example, "Do you really love Gu Jinzhi?"
She didn't know how to answer such a question...
Just as she was daydreaming, the hairs on her body suddenly stood up and she felt a strong sense of being watched.
Then, a pleasant female voice was heard in the empty room.
"Ms. Jiang, the test is about to begin. Are you ready?"
Li Wei took a deep breath and slowly exhaled to calm herself down.
"I'm ready." She tried to keep her expression as natural as possible.
"Okay." The woman's voice dropped its earlier cheerfulness and became deep and serious. "For the following questions, you only need to answer yes or no. No unnecessary explanations or elaborations. Do you understand?"
Li Wei nodded silently, believing that her actions could be seen.
......
The silence lasted for a few seconds.
This time, the voice that sounded was a deep, majestic male voice, mixed with an inexplicable irritation.
"Jiang Xue, do you fully understand what serving in place of military service means?"
"yes."
Li Wei answered calmly, and after hearing the first question, her tense heartstrings relaxed slightly.
[Fortunately, it’s not a question of love or not, thank goodness. 】
After about two or three seconds, the male voice continued to ask questions.
"Jiang Xue, was your application to serve in place of Gu Jinzhi entirely of your own free will?"
This time, he emphasized the three words "Gu Jinzhi" particularly strongly, as if he was resentful.
Li Wei didn't think much about it and simply answered, "Yes."
After the second question, silence lasted for nearly ten seconds before the third question came.
The male voice seemed to become more anxious, but his speech speed was deliberately slow.
"Has anyone, in any way, including but not limited to force, kidnapping, harm, defamation, disclosure of privacy, threats to relatives and friends, etc., forced or coerced you to apply for substitute service?"
Li Wei shook her head slowly.
"no."
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this process was really rigorous.
[No wonder when I asked Yun Xi if she was going to threaten me with Li Cheng, she said she wasn't that stupid...]
[With this self-examination process in place, coercion simply won't work.]
She felt more relaxed and even began to think divergently, considering the issue of protecting the rights and interests of those serving on behalf of the military.
Just then, the male voice asked the fourth question.
"Jiang Xue, do you feel you 'have to' apply for substitute military service because you feel immense pressure from any individual, organization, institution, or environment, such as moral coercion, public opinion pressure, or family expectations?"
[It still has nothing to do with "love", fortunately...]
"No." Li Wei secretly rejoiced and answered straightforwardly.
After this question, the silence became even longer.
After about two or three minutes, the pleasant female voice was heard again.
"Ms. Jiang, according to normal procedures, the conscience test ends here."
"However, according to the chairman's request, you still need to answer two more questions."
"Excuse me, do you have any objection?"
"What if I say yes?" Li Wei couldn't help but tease.
The female voice was silent for a few seconds, then responded in a businesslike tone, "Then I can only regretfully announce that you have failed this test."
Li Wei shrugged. "Then why are you asking me if I have any objections? Alright, alright, go ahead and ask."
Ten seconds later, the irritable male voice sounded again, and the fifth question came.
"Jiang Xue, has anyone promised or already given you any material benefits, such as money, real estate, resources, rare items, drugs or techniques to increase your strength, in exchange for your application for substitute service?"
When Li Wei heard this question, her scalp suddenly went numb and her brain started working rapidly.
[Fuck, this question is too serious! ]
Isn't 99% of proxy service just an exchange of benefits? No wonder Huang Zhenshou said few people can pass the highest difficulty level...
[Nah, this is also an exchange of benefits. Aunt Liang and Yun Xi both gave things...]
[Huh? Wait, that's not right.]
How could I be involved in a profit exchange? I originally wanted to go to Western Xinjiang to gain experience. What they gave me was at best sponsorship and subsidies, not a prerequisite for my trip to Western Xinjiang!
After figuring this out, Li Wei straightened her back instantly and answered calmly: "No!"
This time, the room was silent for a long time.
But she didn't dare move, because the feeling of being looked at and examined always existed.
She even subconsciously raised her hands to cover her sensitive areas to resist the uncomfortable feeling of being completely seen through.
Feeling at a loss as to what to do, Li Wei counted silently in her heart to distract herself.
When the deep male voice sounded again, six or seven minutes had passed.
"Jiang Xue..."
When he asked the last question, the male voice became dry and filled with a strong sense of unwillingness.
But he finally asked.
"Have you been promised or offered any non-material benefits or special opportunities, such as status, honor, membership in a particular organization, resolution of personal grievances, forgiveness of debts or penalties, future care, etc., in exchange for your application for substitute military service?"
Li Wei's answer was quick and easy.
