Chapter 21: Hypnosis!
Why listen to the sound of the wind?
Zhao Xiran didn't understand, but since he had made up his mind and wanted to find out what the hell was going on in this Fangshan Courtyard, he should first follow their rules, and then see what kind of trick they were using little by little!
Zhao Xiran sat in front of the table, closed his eyes slightly, and began to listen to the so-called wind. For a long time, she didn't hear anything. She couldn't help but wonder: Is there something wrong with my ears, or is there no wind to hear here?
After a while, she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, which seemed to be the scent of a mandala?
"Tick, tick, tick......" The sound of what seemed to be the second hand moving came from her ear.
Zhao Xiran felt very strange, this immortal cultivation world actually had a time to store zài? And it's such an old-fashioned clock?
Zhao Xiran's heart moved slightly, and he continued to listen.
It wasn't long before the footsteps came from far and near, and it was the masked man coming from the window. He pulled out the stool and sat across the table from Zhao Xiran. The second hand is still moving. The masked man rang for a while, and then slowly spoke, and his voice seemed to come from the ethereal place, from afar: "You, what's your name?" ”
Zhao Xiran laughed in his heart. I thought that the so-called unremembered incident in the thatched hut was because the people in the hut used some secret spells, but I didn't expect that this was a hypnotism that the earthlings had played a hundred years ago! Don't you know that hypnotism or something has no effect at all on new humans with extremely strong mental power?
Zhao Xiran didn't show it at all, just closed his eyes and said in a trance: "Zhao ...... Profit ......"
The masked man asked again, "Do you know where the Fangshan Annex?" ”
"I don't know." Zhao Xiran answered very simply this time. Yes, after all, joining Fangshan Villa is a system task, and as for why the system would release such a task, Zhao Xiran himself is not clear. In order not to be cleared of mental power, she still has to complete this task well!
The masked man frowned slightly: "You don't know where the Fangshan Annex, why do you want to participate in the selection of informants in the Fangshan Courtyard?" ”
Zhao Xiran was silent for three seconds and replied: "I am an orphan, life is difficult, I heard that people are recruited here, so I came." ”
The masked man nodded and continued to ask, "Do you know what the informant in Fangshan Villa needs to do every day?" ”
Zhao Xiran shook his head.
The masked man was silent for a long time, and finally asked, "This question I ask you now is very important, and you have to answer it honestly!" ”
Zhao Xiran nodded.
"Which force sent you?" The masked man squinted and said in a deep voice.
"There is no force. I'm a human being. Zhao Xiran felt that this Fangshan Villa was getting more and more interesting. It turned out that the so-called training was actually to screen out spies among a group of candidates! This method, I have to say, is really talented. But is it really that powerful? Didn't she Zhao Xiran miss the trick?
The masked man smiled slightly, then clapped his hands and said loudly, "You can wake up!" ”
Zhao Xiran slowly opened his eyes, and then looked around, his eyes were confused: "This ...... How can I ......"
The masked man gently took off the cloth towel covering his eyes, stood up, bowed his head and said to Zhao Xiran: "You have passed the assessment and can participate in the formal training!" ”
"Huh? What's going on? Zhao Xiran asked suspiciously, "In other words, was I just an assessment just now?" ”
The masked man nodded: "Well, after the assessment, it will be the formal training." Let's go, I'll take you to the training site. ”
Zhao Xiran stood up and walked with the masked man.
The masked man smiled slightly: "My name is Yao Bu, and I am a disciple of the dean of this Fangshan Annex. Every time an informant is selected, if there is a special person who participates in the election, he has to come to me for evaluation. ”
Zhao Xiran nodded: "Then, what is the assessment?" ”
"The informant of Fangshan Villa is selected by three passes. The first level, the one at the door, must be a person with a letter of recommendation or a letter of introduction to be able to pass the level. The second level is the assessment level, after entering the Fangshan Annex, you need to be assessed by the spokesperson of the Fangshan Courtyard. If it is a special candidate, such as you, you need to carry out a key assessment, that is, a one-on-one assessment. If the assessment is passed, you need to conduct informant training, and if you pass the training, then you can officially become a member of Fangshan Villa! ”
Zhao Xiran thought to himself for a while: The selection of informants in this Fangshan Courtyard first depends on whether you are qualified to become a person from the Fangshan Courtyard, and then you have to use hypnosis to screen these qualified people to see if there are any undercover agents sent in by other forces, and finally you have to train to see if you have the talent to be an informant? What is such a layer of selection for? Why did Fangshan Villa make this qiē so mysterious?
After thinking about it for a long time, it still seems that something is still missing. Zhao Xiran simply stopped thinking nonsense, and only followed Yao Bu towards the training site.
It didn't take long for Yao Fei to lead Zhao Xiran to an attic. He turned to Zhao Xiran and said, "This attic is called Mingwu Building. It has three floors, the first of which is a training place for informants. The second layer is the database of informants. The third floor, where informants communicate, is where information is exchanged. The guards here are tighter than the first, so don't cross the floor without permission after you enter. ”
Zhao Xiran nodded in understanding. Then, she said goodbye to Yao Bu and walked into the Mingwu Building.
The door of Mingwu Building is a vermilion one, and it can be pushed open with a slight push. This kind of guard is indeed very casual.
Maybe because Zhao Xiran entered the Mingwu Building earlier, there were only seven people on the first floor of the Mingwu Building. An old man in a white robe was lazily lying on a chaise longue, while two boys fanned him. The two youths standing in front of them seemed to be the overseers of the training. The two men standing against the wall were shrinking their heads and hiding, their heads kept turning around, and at a glance, Zhao Xiran felt that these two people were unscrupulous.
The old man opened his eyes slightly, and saw a little girl standing at the door, so he said slowly: "Girl, you are also here to participate in the informant training?" ”
Zhao Xiran was slightly stunned, obviously she didn't expect this old man to take the initiative to talk to her. In just three seconds, she replied, "Yes...... This senior, I don't know how this informant training is ......"
"Look at it," Zhao Xiran couldn't finish his words when he was interrupted by the old man, "Who do the two boys standing by the wall look like?" ”
Zhao Xiran was stunned again, and then carefully looked at the two people on the wall. Not long after, Zhao Xiran secretly organized his words and replied, "They don't look like good people. The one on the left, squatting slightly, probing his brain, looking at him as if he wanted to do something improper, looking at his slightly bowed body, I guess, killing people and setting fires, it is absolutely impossible, at most petty theft, or defrauding people of money. ”
The old man didn't move, but a hint of interest flashed in his eyes: "Then, the one on the right?" ”
Zhao Xiran looked at the one on the right, and when he saw it, he was stunned for a moment - eh, this brother! You're not like that!
