No.34 Secret Department
After reading the words on the test paper, Megumi felt a layer of darkness in her heart. It seemed that a frenzied strange whisper sounded in her ears, and the strange aura made her head hurt and almost burst.
It is not the dead who sleep forever, but even death will pass away in the mysterious eternity.
The strange text on the test paper twisted and formed into paragraphs of words that looked like tentacles but also worms. Blood oozed from it, and the review room was plunged into a strange atmosphere.
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
The cold abyss exudes evil, and Megumi seems to see a magnificent palace emerging from the bottom of the deep sea, and there are indescribable strange shadows surging......
At this time, Megumi Kazuma could no longer make any sound, her mind had been eroded by this strange and bizarre scene, and it would take a little more time for her to be assimilated by it, crying out forever in the eternal abyss, madness......
Suddenly, a strange power burst out of Megumi Kuma's body, causing Megumi Kuma's hair to turn silver in an instant, the clothes on her body to silver silk, and a necklace with a twisted five-pointed star pattern around her neck.
"Buzz!"
As if oppressed by this treacherous aura, the twisted five-pointed star necklace emitted a wave of fluctuations, and the dark aura was suppressed, and the entire review room was restored to light.
After the review room returned to normal, Megumi Kurama changed back to her original appearance, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's... That sentence! ”
Megumi Kurama gulped in the fresh air with some fear, and she remembered where she had seen the unchanged words.
It was a verse written by an Arab madman named Abdullah Al-Hasad, in the Book of the Necromy. It's just that this madman died mysteriously on the streets of Damascus not long after writing this book, and the "Book of Necrons" he wrote was lost in the long river of history. However, some famous libraries do have some copies of the book.
As for the different text of the change of the verse in the back, Megumi knew that it was engraved in her genes, the memory of the ultra-ancient Earth Guard Captain Yu Pity, but she saw that the verse triggered the illusion, and there was no connection between the two texts.
But why did a college student write the verses of the Book of the Necronomicon? The library in Huaxia doesn't have a copy of that book!
The more Megumi Juma thought about it, the more scared she felt, she originally suspected that Ye Yifan was the inheritor of the light, but judging from the current situation, Megumi Kuruma was a little skeptical that he was the mastermind behind what Hibi Gangsuke said!
After all, how could the heirs of the light write such dark and evil verses!
"This is not a trivial matter, I need to investigate further......"
Hinting that he should be calm, Megumi Intermediary entered Ye Yifan, who was originally disqualified, into the approved list, which is the most ideal way to investigate without disturbing TPC.
And Ye Yifan's test paper, according to the regulations, should actually be handed over to TPC for others to continue to consult, but at this moment, Megumi decided to hide this test paper as a top-secret file and not allow anyone to view it! After all, this is not like a manuscript, it can directly affect the spirit, and other people don't have super ancient genes like her, and they will definitely fall into madness at a glance.
In order to prevent this from happening, Megumi Kuruma silently put the cursed test paper into a compacted sealed bag, and her mind calmed down after doing this.
Everything that should be done has been done, as for what will happen to Ye Yifan later, it can only depend on his creation......
......
University of Science and Technology, Health Office.
Ten hours had passed since the morning exam, and it was already time for evening self-study, but Ye Yifan, who was affected by his spirit, had just woken up at this time.
"Yo, woke up?"
As soon as he woke up, Ye Yifan's attention was pulled away by this shout. Those illusions are gone, everything is normal, but Han Qixuan looked at him with some dissatisfaction, obviously looking angry.
"The health teacher is out on duty, so I'm here to watch you for him." Han Qixuan explained the situation and tilted his head to the side again, adding. "You look weird in the morning, what the hell happened?"
"Morning?"
Ye Yifan couldn't remember clearly, he wanted to try to remember what happened in the morning, but his head became more and more painful. Obviously, this is a kind of protection measure of the brain against the rapid decline of spirit, and the morning event is probably also the stress response produced after the spirit drops to a certain point... Does this mean that his sanity has fallen below the standard of ordinary people?
Obviously, he was on the verge of collapse before he even saw the faces of those evil gods, and if he faced those indescribable existences, he was afraid that he would be defeated in an instant by his cognitive and psychological defenses and fall into madness......
"I don't know why this is happening." Ye Yifan didn't tell Han Qixuan the truth, he could only pretend not to know. After all, he wasn't sure if he would be crushed by the weight of despair like last time after telling Han Qixuan the truth. Even if he didn't, the influence of the old gods would be because of his own narration, so that Han Qixuan would be cursed by the old gods like himself, and he would be tormented by whispers day and night.
The risk is too great, and if both Ultramans go crazy, then the destruction of the universe is a sure thing. In addition to these reasons, Ye Yifan can't let his friends suffer this kind of suffering, he can just bear this kind of thing himself.
"I'm sorry about the morning." Recalling that because the old god lost his temper with Han Qixuan, Ye Yifan apologized again.
"Since you sincerely apologize, then Uncle Ben will forgive you mercifully. As your best friend, I will definitely find a way to cure you. Han Qixuan was slightly stunned after hearing the apology, although he didn't look at Ye Yifan squarely, but his eyes drifted to this side from time to time, it was simply a textbook arrogant.
Seeing that Han Qixuan believed it, Ye Yifan also smiled secretly, and then hummed at him.
"Xiaofan, what's wrong?"
As soon as he finished talking to Han Qixuan, the door of the health room was knocked open. A girl with a delicate face and a domineering figure broke in, it was Mu Yanxue girl.
This stupid girl's brain is not very good, and she doesn't ask Ye Yifan's situation and cries at the head of the bed, as if Ye Yifan has some terminal illness and is about to die soon.
"Don't cry, it's not like I can't live!" Ye Yifan roared with a black line on his face.
"Wow! Aren't people worried about you? Who made you look so bad lately, I thought you were going to hang up on some serious illness. Mu Yanxue wiped a handful of tears, and in her grief, she picked up the milk tea in her hand and took two sips, looked up and saw Ye Yifan's helpless eyes, and then handed the milk tea over, and said aggrievedly. Do you drink? ”
Ye Yifan didn't want to pay attention to her anymore, in order to prevent embarrassment, Han Qixuan told her about the situation in the morning, and the stupid girl nodded suddenly, then patted her chest and said, "Harm!" Say it earlier! I'm familiar with this situation, I'll see you at the old place at night, and I'll make sure that I'm alive and kicking in the back. ”
At this time, Ye Yifan already had the urge to slap her to death. And Mu Yanxue didn't care about putting half a bottle of milk tea on the hospital table, and greeted the two: "Since that's the case, I'll go home first, you remember to go to the evening self-study, and I heard the professor say that there seems to be something important to tell you physics students." ”
"Something important?"
Ye Yifan and Han Qixuan glanced at each other, guessing that it might be related to the exam in the morning, after all, that exam seemed to be only available to students in their physics department and chemistry department, and it was also a TPC test paper.
After saying this, Mu Yanxue reminded Ye Yifan not to let her pigeon go and left, and the two waited for the health teacher to come back to explain the situation, and also walked towards the classroom.
The time happened to be evening self-study time, and not long after the two stepped into the classroom, their homeroom teacher also walked in, but he didn't dare to look at Ye Yifan with a sense of innocence.
"If you read your name below, please follow me to the conference room of HKUST." The head teacher took out a list and read it out.
"Han Qixuan."
Hearing this, Han Qixuan stood up, and walked out of the classroom door in confusion without knowing what was going on.
"Qiu Xuanming."
The second person, that is, the bully Qiu Xuanming, stood up arrogantly, he glanced at Ye Yifan with disdain, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and went out arrogantly. Ye Yifan doesn't know what's wrong with him, what's there to drag on?
"Ye Yifan."
Hearing his name, Ye Yifan's body trembled, and before he could stand up, the head teacher hurried out of the door, as if he was afraid of him.
Ye Yifan also knew that the morning had left a shadow on him, so he didn't think much about it and kept up with the pace of the three of them.
Along the way, Han Qixuan was talking to Ye Yifan, and he didn't know why he only called the three of them. Ye Yifan guessed that it might have something to do with the morning test, after all, it was a psychological personality assessment paper, and they might be the type TPC wanted, but more than forty people in their class chose three of them, which was ridiculously low and the pass rate.
But then again, I don't know what was written in the last question of my own test paper, how did I pass?
This answer may have to wait for TPC to explain itself......
Thinking that a few people had already arrived at the conference room of HKUST, Ye Yifan found that there were about thirty students standing inside, and the rest were TPC staff.
"There are five or six hundred students in the Department of Physics and Chemistry at HKUST, and only about 30 of them have passed... Isn't this a bit outrageous? Han Qixuan looked at the students in the conference room and said with some confusion.
"Noise! Listening to the above arrangement, what's the use of you saying so much? Qiu Xuanming glared at Han Qixuan with disdain, he was very annoyed that this kind of dirt bun went into the city and asked more questions, as if he had never seen the world.
Han Qixuan didn't want to pay attention to Qiu Xuanming's stupidity, and went to chat with Ye Yifan.
Five or six more people came in one after another, and it seemed that everyone had arrived, and the TPC staff closed the door and began to speak.
"First of all, congratulations to all the students who passed the morning exam and stood out among the 600 people." On the stage, a TPC employee with a long beard said that he seemed to be the highest-ranking person in the group, and his eyes were visibly sharp, as if he would see through everything.
"You may wonder why we called you here, because we at TPC recently wanted to select some young talents to form a special department, and you passed the primary selection." The bearded clerk glanced at the students in the audience, his eyes a little complicated.
After hearing these words, the selected "lucky ones" became very serious and serious, and they felt that their mission was important.
The bearded clerk looked at the group of young guys with a little helplessness, they didn't know what they were facing, right?
"Let me explain in advance, this special department is not as easy as you think, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life. So you have the right to make your own choices. If you don't agree, you can push the door back now, but you are not allowed to talk about tonight's matter, or we will hold you responsible. The bearded clerk paused and said, "Of course, the parents of the students who can stand here have also contacted you in advance, and they have agreed to let you join this department, so you have the right to choose for yourself." If you agree to join, your student status will be retained, and you will receive a generous monthly stipend, as well as preferential treatment from countries around the world for life. ”
Hearing this, Ye Yifan understood that this was a lifeless job, and it was probably a department similar to GUTS, so the treatment was so superior...... But then again, did TPC contact his father? But it doesn't matter, according to his father's virtue, he won't care about himself, and what he wants to do has nothing to do with him.
"Start the selection now!"
After speaking, the beard stared at the students below with interest, and some of the students in that group were tempted by this condition, but as soon as they said that they were going to lose their lives, they pushed the door and left, and about a dozen left. There were about twenty students left, including three of them in Class A.
Ye Yifan didn't know how to choose, so he asked Han Qixuan on the side: "Ah Xuan, how do you choose?" ”
"Join! Definitely join! Han Qixuan agreed without thinking, "It's my dream to join TPC!" How could I pass up such a great opportunity? What did you say? Losing your life? I'm Ultraman Dinah, why are I afraid of this thing? ”
Ye Yifan: "Ah..... Okay, I'll join in. ”
Ye Yifan sighed a little helplessly. He was actually quite resistant to TPC, but Megumi made him change some of his views on TPC. In addition, Ah Xuan wants to join, and out of his commitment to Asuka Shin, he must also be optimistic about Han Qixuan, and it is convenient to do things in TPC, maybe he can find a way to remove the influence of the old gods.
Then the TPC staff sent an agreement to the remaining students, indicating that they could leave after signing the agreement, and that a special vehicle would pick them up for training tomorrow.
Ye Yifan carefully read the agreement, the content was also said by the bearded staff, and the others were some things that needed attention, including a confidentiality agreement, which meant that no matter what happened next, they could not tell the situation to the outside world, otherwise they would be investigated for criminal responsibility.
There was nothing wrong with the agreement, Ye Yifan waited for Han Qixuan to sign it, and then signed his name.
In this way, you can sell it to TPC, right?
But this may also be the best option, in this world, TPC may only be able to help you, but you also need to pay attention to your own situation. He is now favored by the old gods, and if he accidentally goes mad, what awaits him may be judgment......
