Chapter 012 Chapter 12
On the first day of awakening, even the spiritual body came out.
If this happened to other sentries, they would not even dare to think about it.
Most people usually need a week to wait for the fluctuations of mental power in their bodies to stabilize before they can slowly begin to condense their mental body, construct mental images and mental barriers.
Generally speaking, the higher the sentry level, the faster the whole process will progress.
Therefore, Director Bai is full of confidence in Xia Meng.
I firmly believe that she must be at least an A-level guide!
So the next morning, he took Xia Meng to do a mental test.
The testing room is no different from the examination rooms in ordinary hospitals.
There was a screen inside, a diagnosis and examination bed, and a set of sophisticated instruments beside the bed.
Xia Meng lay down on the examination bed. Several detection wires were connected to the instrument, and the other ends were attached to Xia Meng's temples, wrists, and chest.
The inspection will be done directly by Director Bai.
He sat down in front of the instrument screen, and after some operations, Xia Meng vaguely felt that the six leads on his body began to vibrate slightly and become hot.
Not long after, she heard Director Bai say "Huh?" in confusion.
She opened her eyes and turned her head to see Director Bai hesitantly exchanging glances with the doctor next to him.
Xia Meng: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the value?"
Director Bai shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with the numbers, but..."
Xia Meng: "Just?"
The test was over, and the doctor assisting her removed the wires from her body and motioned for her to stand up.
Xia Meng sat up and looked at the instrument screen.
The data on the screen is simple and easy to understand, with several graphs showing the strength, total amount and fluctuation frequency of mental power.
Below the diagram are the test results summarized based on data from various aspects.
[Mental Strength: C-]
[Total Mental Strength: B-]
[Mental Power Fluctuation Stability: A]
【Comprehensive Mental Strength Level Assessment: B-】
Apart from the unusually stable mental strength, there are no other advantages.
Director Bai: “.”
In other words, her sentry level is B-.
At best, he is a B-level guide.
It's a long way from the A grade he predicted.
Director Bai took a long time to come back to his senses. He coughed and said comfortingly, "B-level isn't bad. Well... most people awaken to D-level or C-level, and there are even some who only awaken a portion of their abilities to F-level. B-level... is pretty good too."
Xia Meng smiled: "Yeah."
She's fine.
Just looking at the hard-to-conceal frustration on Director Bai's face, she felt that he needed comfort more than her.
…
After the test was completed, I was finally able to be discharged from the hospital.
Xia Meng went to Zhou Qi to say hello.
Xia Meng asked, "How's the case progressing? Has Jiang Qiongran been arrested?"
Zhou Qi: "We're still in the evidence collection stage. She's been detained by us and is being held in the Black Tower for 48 hours to cooperate with the investigation."
It really deserves to be called the Black Tower.
The statutory time for assisting in an investigation cannot exceed 24 hours, but in the Black Tower, the minimum time is 48 hours from the start.
Xia Meng shouted 666.
Xia Meng: "And then? Did you find out anything?"
Zhou Qi paused and looked at her.
Logically speaking, the key progress of the case cannot be disclosed casually, but he thought again, Xia Meng's identity is too special. She and Li Zhou have personally entered the mental images of Fan Xue and Jiang Qiongran, and they must know more than others.
Talk to her and maybe you'll get some unexpected clues.
So Zhou Qi generously said most of what he could say.
"We have tested Jiang Qiongran and found that she is an F-level guide."
Xia Meng: "Didn't you know this before?"
Zhou Qi shook his head. "Generally speaking, after experiencing awakening reactions, ordinary people will go to the Black Tower to register. Those who register will receive a monthly subsidy from the Black Tower. Some people, like you, will initially think they just have a fever. When they go to the hospital for treatment, the doctor who sees them will help contact the Black Tower. Apart from these, we generally cannot find those who completely avoid the Black Tower's coverage area and do not actively register with the Black Tower."
Xia Meng thought so too. It’s impossible to knock on every door and ask, right?
Zhou Qi: "The police took over the case at the beginning, and Jiang Qiongran deliberately concealed it, so no one thought about it that way."
Xia Meng tilted her head and asked, "Can you hide it by deliberately concealing it?"
She remembered Li Zhou's reaction before.
It seems difficult for people to hide their mental power. As long as they come into contact with it, some of it will be contaminated on their bodies, not to mention their own mental power.
It seemed like Li Zhou could smell it just by sniffing it, like a dog's nose.
Zhou Qi explained: "Jiang Qiongran is only F-level. Strictly speaking, he is not a true guide."
Xia Meng: "What do you mean? That...partner?"
Zhou Qi nodded. "Yes, F-class sentinels are called guards, and F-class guides are companions. They have only awakened a portion of their sentinel abilities. For example, sentinels have sharp five senses and strong physiques, while guards can generally only inherit a portion of them, such as exceptionally strong hearing or exceptionally strong jumping ability. The same goes for companions. They either have weak mental strength or lack stability, and generally cannot provide safe and stable guidance and purification."
Xia Meng nodded to show that she understood.
It seems that she still knows too little about the sentry direction.
Zhou Qi: "I'll give Jiang Qiongran a lie detector and hypnosis test this afternoon. Then we'll re-compare the chain of evidence. As long as we can find conclusive evidence, she won't be able to escape guilt."
Zhou Qi thought Xia Meng would stay out of curiosity, at least to witness the entire process of Jiang Qiongran's confession with her own eyes.
In the end she just nodded, not particularly enthusiastic.
Zhou Qi: "Don't you want to take a look?"
Xia Meng waved her hand: "I have something to do this afternoon. Besides..."
She scratched her head. "My original intention in getting involved in this case was to find out the truth about why Fan Xue asked me for help. Now that the truth has been revealed, I feel relieved to leave the rest to you. I will not be involved in the subsequent matters. When the case is judged, just let me know. I'm leaving first!"
After saying that, she waved to Zhou Qi without any reluctance.
Just then the elevator opened on the 52nd floor, and she trotted straight into the elevator without looking back.
Zhou Qi watched her disappear with a hint of regret.
It would be great if she could come to work at the Black Tower.
…
Xia Meng hurried back to school.
Graduation is approaching and there are a lot of things to do.
Fortunately, she has almost completed several core requirements for graduate school.
The thesis has passed, the professional course credits are sufficient, and the exam scores are also up to standard.
The only thing left to get is the internship report for the hospital's psychiatry department.
Xia Meng had previously been interning at the First Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University.
If nothing goes wrong, I will get the internship evaluation report today, and then take it back to school and graduate successfully.
Xia Meng walked around the school and then went to the hospital to report.
The psychiatric department is on the 19th floor of the inpatient building.
When she arrived, she went to the nurse's station to sign in.
As luck would have it, her supervising doctor happened to be there too.
He crossed his arms over his chest and stared at her seriously.
"Why are you here just now? Where did you go the past two days?"
Xia Meng signed her name in a flamboyant manner on the sign-in book, then put down her pen before explaining patiently and gently, "I'm sorry, Doctor Zhao, I was busy with something with Dean Wang the day before yesterday, so I took sick leave yesterday."
However, Teacher Zhao wasn't buying it. "Did I ever tell you to avoid absences during your internship? If you really want to ask for leave, you have to let me know in advance and get my approval. Don't think you can slack off just because there are only a few days left in your internship."
Xia Meng paused a little irritably.
She really disliked Dr. Zhao.
Too fierce, too unreasonable.
Although Lao Wang is usually fierce, he has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. When he is angry, he just puffs out his beard and glares.
Xia Meng likes to tease him when she has nothing to do.
But this Doctor Zhao is different.
His heart must be made of diamonds, and he loves to boss the interns around by grading their internship reports, using a feather as a token of authority.
It is said that before her, at least half of his interns had been given failing grades by him.
The other half persevered and made it through, then after graduation, he left as far away as he could and would never set foot within five miles of the psychiatric department of this hospital.
Xia Meng doesn't want to pay attention to him.
According to the rules of their hospital, all doctors, regardless of their rank, must report to the department director when asking for leave, and the same applies to other interns.
Why do I have to go through this extra hurdle to get to him? Why do I have to get his consent first?
Xia Meng explained softly: "I fell ill suddenly yesterday, and I have already asked the director for leave."
Doctor Zhao had a stern face and said in a bad tone: "Didn't I say you would ask me for a treat?"
It was almost the end of lunch break, and the head nurse and the young nurses were all there.
At the nurses' station, several young nurses shrank their heads.
There was another person who stood at an angle where Dr. Zhao couldn't see him, made a gesture to Xia Meng, and shook his head slowly, meaning that Xia Meng should be patient, as the internship was almost over and it was not worth it.
Xia Meng has performed well during this internship.
She is Wang Xiangyi's student, so her level and strength are naturally beyond doubt.
In addition, she has a humorous and free-spirited personality, so everyone likes her, except Dr. Zhao.
It was really bad luck for her that her internship fell into his hands.
At this time, the head nurse turned around from the other side and interrupted, "I also know about Xiaoxia's leave. She even called the nurses' desk looking for you, and you were on rounds at the time, so I asked Xiao Wu to tell you. Why? Didn't she tell you?"
It happened that Xiao Wu was there too.
Xiao Wu has a chubby round face and is a distant relative of Dr. Zhao. Therefore, among all the doctors in the department, only Xiao Wu can talk to him more.
Xiao Wu was fair-minded. She raised her head and said seriously, "Brother Zhao, I told you! I told you when you came to the nurses' desk to fill in the medical record at 10 o'clock yesterday."
Doctor Zhao was frustrated: "..."
I told him, but he didn't listen at all.
Xia Meng turned her head and curled the corners of her lips subtly.
When Dr. Zhao looked over, she quickly put on a submissive look.
She tried to speak innocently and asked, "So, today's internship report..."
Doctor Zhao snorted coldly, and the coldness in his eyes had already given a clear answer:
It's impossible to give you a passing grade.
Be honest and do another round of internship!
Doctor Zhao said coldly: "With your intern attitude——"
The death sentence was only halfway through when the phone at the nurse's desk rang. Xiao Wu picked it up and said, "Hello, this is the Psychiatric Department of Peking University."
"Ah, hello. Yes, she's here. Okay, I'll send her over to you right away."
Xiao Wu put down the phone and said to Xia Meng, "Xiao Xia, Dean Zhong asked you to come over. He said he wanted to ask about your intentions after graduation."
Xia Meng blinked: "Dean Zhong asked me personally?"
Xiao Wu chuckled, "Really? I think the dean wants to keep him here personally, right?"
The young nurses nearby showed envy when they heard this.
Before I graduated, the dean took the initiative to invite me to stay.
You have a bright future, sisters!
After hearing this, Xia Meng smiled, but felt a little embarrassed.
Zhou Qi and Director Bai had both taken the initiative to invite her to work at the Black Tower.
She was hesitating.
Unexpectedly, Dean Zhong came to her again at this time.
Do you really want to persuade her to stay?
Although it was difficult, Xia Meng didn't say much.
She glanced at everyone, curled her lips and said in a choking voice, "The dean probably thinks my internship attitude is good."
Doctor Zhao: “…”
After Xia Meng finished speaking, without waiting for his reply, she snapped her fingers with a smile and said, "Then I'll go over first."
Before leaving, she did not miss the darkening look on Dr. Zhao's face.
He probably had a lot of blood in his stomach by now.
He wanted to give her a failing grade on her internship report, but she turned out to be noticed by the dean himself.
This either clearly shows that he is deliberately suppressing the interns, or proves that he has poor vision, cannot judge people, cannot lead people, and is even blatantly slapping the dean in the face.
If he fails to pass the test, he will be in a difficult situation.
It's a small matter to hurt yourself, but it's a big deal to offend the boss.
Xia Meng raised the corners of her lips.
Amitabha, Hallelujah.
Good deeds will bring good results.
If Tianri hadn't done a good deed two days ago, she wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation today.
It turns out that good people will be rewarded!
…
Xia Meng leisurely went to the dean's office.
Dean Zhong is already here.
Xia Meng knocked on the door and went in. Dean Zhong was making tea. He turned around and asked cheerfully, "Xiao Xia, what kind of tea do you want? Da Hong Pao or Bai Hao Yin Zhen?"
Dean Zhong and Wang Xiangyi were classmates in medical school in the same year and had a good relationship. Therefore, Dean Zhong always took good care of Wang Xiangyi's closed disciple.
Xia Meng is low-key, so not many people in the psychiatric department know about their relationship.
Xia Meng came close to him and looked at them, then said with a smile, "They are all good teas. I like them all. I'm not picky."
Dean Zhong simply made the decision for her: "Then drink white tea. It's been hot lately, and white tea is just right for clearing away heat and relieving internal heat."
Xia Meng: "Okay!"
After brewing the tea, Xia Meng picked up the teacup, sat down in front of his desk, and got straight to the point.
"Okay, let's get down to business. What's the matter with you calling me here?"
Dean Zhong slowly blew away the tea leaves, raised his eyes, and said, "It's all about your future after graduation. What do you have to say?"
Xia Meng raised her eyebrows and pretended to be stupid: "What do you mean?"
Dean Zhong said, "You know that both departments at the Black Tower have invited you, right? Their Criminal Investigation Center and Guidance Center both specifically want you."
Xia Meng smiled: "I didn't know about this, how did you know? You are quite well-informed!"
Upon hearing this, Dean Zhong smiled knowingly.
Xia Meng's thoughts turned around in her mind.
Generally speaking, this kind of invitation will only be communicated through the school and will not be informed to Dean Zhong.
The only possibility is that the school contacted Wang Xiangyi, and then Wang Xiangyi contacted Dean Zhong, an old classmate.
Even if he didn't hesitate to use the connections of his old classmates, he had to stop her from going to the Black Tower...
Lao Wang, Lao Wang, you are so good at beating around the bush!
Xia Meng held her chin and chuckled.
Everyone knows the answer, so there's no point in continuing to play guessing games.
So Dean Zhong simply asked directly: "So what do you think?"
Xia Meng spoke frankly: "To be honest, I haven't had time to think about anything yet."
All in all, she just woke up yesterday.
Before yesterday, she had never thought that she would one day awaken to become a special human being.
Dean Zhong: "You only have a few days left before graduation, and you still don't want to do anything? Even Lao Wang doesn't urge you?"
Xia Meng: "Push him! Why not? He keeps cursing every day."
Dean Zhong laughed: "Tell me, what are you cursing about?"
Xia Meng: "What else can I say? He wants me to stay in school, either to continue studying for his doctorate or to become a lecturer."
Dean Zhong: "Are you unhappy?"
Xia Meng: "It's not that I'm unhappy. I just think it's pretty good to work in a hospital like this."
She spread her hands and said, "So I said, I haven't thought about it yet."
Dean Zhong took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and said meaningfully, "Then you should think about it carefully now."
