Chapter 29 Testing
◎ "Eye of Truth"◎
As they walked, Zhong Xingchi introduced the situation here to Gu Nian.
The predecessor of the mental rehabilitation center was actually a high-end sanatorium. Later, when the pollution broke out, it was selected to purify the mental pollution of people with special abilities.
The center covers a large area and the surrounding environment is also nice. Apart from the office building they just visited, there is only one high-rise building in the center. The rest are single-family houses.
This was somewhat different from the professional psychiatric hospital that Gu Nian had imagined, and she listened very carefully.
Zhong Xingchi pointed to a tall building not far away and said, "That's the office area for our Purifiers. Those who need to live there are those with abilities who are on the verge of critical points and need priority treatment. The old man Wu and his group we met just now actually live there."
In fact, they should have been purified, so Zhong Xingchi agreed so readily.
As for most of the remaining psychics, they all live in small houses in the surrounding area. Although their mental pollution is not that serious, they are no longer suitable to enter the contaminated area.
Gu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly.
Whoever designed or chose this location was very clever. While the layout of the individual houses scattered around was irregular, they formed a general formation, enclosing the high-rise building in the center. If someone in the building became mutated, these psychics would be able to reach it quickly.
They are both patients and potential security personnel.
And somewhere out of sight, there must be another group of people protecting and watching over these people. This way, the possibility of accidents here will be greatly reduced.
They met a lot of people along the way. Everyone greeted Zhong Xingchi warmly when they saw him. After hearing that Gu Nian was a new therapist, these people showed extremely passionate eyes. If Zhong Xingchi had not stopped him, Gu Nian would have been dragged away halfway.
The two of them almost ran away and hid in a high-rise building.
After entering the building, Zhong Xingchi let out a long sigh, quickly tidied up his hair which was messed up again, and then took Gu Nian to the elevator.
This place has been renovated. After entering the elevator, Zhong Xingchi swiped his card and pressed the button for the tenth floor, saying, "You haven't taken the mental test yet, and your level hasn't been determined. Different levels of therapists have different permissions, so I won't give you this card for now."
At this point, he showed a puzzled expression, "I originally thought you were C-level like me, but last time we went to the Third Mental Hospital, you noticed the contaminated area before me, so you should be higher than me."
This is where the problem lies. The externalization of mental power is an important criterion for classifying therapists. Generally, those at level B and above can do it, and a small number of those at level C can also do it, like Zhong Xingchi. However, they do it with great difficulty and cannot be compared with high-level therapists at all.
Gu Nian had previously said that she couldn't project her mental energy, but she performed very well in the contaminated area, so Zhong Xingchi had always believed that she was C-level. But now he was no longer sure.
Gu Nian blinked his eyes. Can mental strength be measured?
She asked, "How do you measure mental strength?"
The elevator arrived and the two men stepped out.
Zhong Xingchi greeted everyone he met, then explained to Gu Nian, "It wasn't measurable originally. We initially relied on trial and error, making rough divisions. But then City B solved a Class A pollution core, and they obtained a pollutant that could measure mental power. Only then did we gradually develop a more specific division."
Gu Nian felt relieved, "City B, that's a bit far."
She wasn't sure if she had any mental strength, or if so, how much. What would she do if she didn't meet the standards of a Class C therapist?
Fortunately, the measuring tools are in City B, and she should be able to find a reasonable explanation before then.
Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
But she relaxed too early. Zhong Xingchi smiled and said, "Then there's no need to go to City B. That Class A pollutant has a main body and many derivatives. Although the level is a bit low, it should be no problem to perform a mental test."
"But that thing is kept in the Special Affairs Bureau. After lunch, I'll take you there to test it and collect the subsidy for our last field mission."
Gu Nian: “…” There’s no need to be so anxious.
But no matter what Gu Nian thought, she had to pass this level. C-level therapists were only authorized to work on the tenth floor and below. In the morning, Zhong Xingchi took Gu Nian to familiarize herself with the environment. At noon, he took her to the cafeteria for a large meal. In the afternoon, the two of them headed straight to the Special Affairs Bureau.
Sitting in the car, Gu Nian asked a lot of questions about the mental strength test. At least she could be prepared, just in case she could get away with it.
In short, you still have to have dreams.
Zhong Xingchi understood it very well. When he first heard about these things, his reaction was much greater than Gu Nian's. He immediately introduced them to Gu Nian with great interest.
Generally speaking, the pollutants associated with a pollution core have the same level as the pollution core. For example, the Level A pollution core resolved in City B brought with it Level A pollutants. The key Gu Nian received was a Level D pollutant. As for the Dean's Seal, the level decreases gradually.
After discovering the effect of the Class A pollutant, it was given a name, called the "Eye of Truth". As the name suggests, this is a pollutant that can see through the essence of things.
Testing mental strength is actually only one of its functions. However, due to the high confidentiality level of Class A pollutants, few people know about its other abilities.
Zhong Xingchi told everything he knew, "Don't be afraid. When we get there, they will take you to a small room. You only need to stay there for a minute before you can come out. It will be quick."
Gu Nian frowned secretly. She felt something was wrong when she heard the name, but now that everyone was in the car, changing her mind at the last minute would only arouse suspicion.
I can only go there first and talk about it later.
The Special Affairs Bureau is not too far from the sanatorium and can be reached in less than half an hour.
As soon as the two got off the car, they saw Qi Kai waiting not far away. There was also a face that Gu Nian had not expected, who was waving at them vigorously.
Ke Lele?
Zhong Xingchi also raised his eyebrows in surprise. With Qi Kai's simple and honest recruitment method of telling the truth, this guy actually came?
The two walked over, and Gu Nian smiled and said to Ke Lele, "It seems you have thought it through."
Ke Lele scratched his head and said, "Well, I've thought about it."
The situation is so chaotic now, and it’s useless for him to have only one potato. If he enters the contaminated area again, he will be eaten up by monsters sooner or later. It’s better for him to go through it with the psychics. At least it’s safer, and there will be purifiers to help treat him.
Several people entered the Special Affairs Bureau together.
Unlike the mental rehabilitation center, the style here is very serious and solemn. Everyone you meet is wearing a uniform and walking hurriedly. When you see them, you just nod to them.
Ke Lele felt very friendly when he saw Gu Nian, and the nervousness he had when he first came here also dissipated a little. He said a little embarrassedly: "I just took a level test, and my mental strength is only D level. I don't know if I can be of any help." It would be bad if he held others back.
Gu Nian offered some words of comfort. She had just heard Zhong Xingchi say that while it was true that psychics would be mentally polluted in the contaminated area, it wasn't without benefits. In the process of combating mental pollution, their mental strength actually improved, which was one of the reasons they were willing to go in.
Ke Lele nodded. That’s what he thought.
Gu Nian and Ke Lele fell behind and asked more about the mental power test. In the end, they found that it was similar to what Zhong Xingchi said. The main thing was that the room they entered was very dark and they couldn't see anything clearly. They only stayed there for a minute, and then they knew the result when they came out.
Gu Nian touched the black ring on her hand and felt relieved after getting a response.
Soon, a female staff member in uniform came over. After talking to Qi Kai for a few words, she set her sights on Gu Nian and gave her a kind smile. "Miss Gu, right? Please follow me. We haven't seen a Purifier come to our Special Affairs Bureau for a long time."
Gu Nian was taken to a separate small building and finally stopped at the door of a room.
The female staff member said, "This is it. After one minute, a warning sound will sound, and the test will be completed. You can then come out."
Gu Nian nodded and walked in.
