crossroads

After a while, just as I was a little irritable waiting, Jessica finally returned.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." She removed the test line from my body and said carefully: "How can I say it, your test results are still uncertain, I don't know if the test network is stuck?!" I think you should go to testing room 8 and take another psychological test, and hopefully this time you will be able to complete the test successfully. ”

I wanted to ask her again, but she kept her head down and tidied up the test setup without saying a word, and her evasive attitude made me stop talking.

Jessica then sent me to testing room 8.

In testing room 8 was a fair-skinned woman in her fifties.

"Hello, my name is Susan." Her old and experienced appearance made my hanging heart let go a lot.

She did a psychological test for me again, but the results in the mirror were still the same.

She frowned and mechanically helped me remove the test setup.

"How?" I asked cautiously.

Susan looked up, looked at me, and hesitantly began to say, "What do you say about your test results······ It's special. It's been many, many years since I've come across a test result like yours. ”

"After being guided by parents and schools since childhood, the average person will simply show his hobby by the color of the flowers when he enters the first simulation. But you don't, you like all kinds of flowers, pink, orange, and even black. ”

She paused, then continued.

"Then you chose the soldiers who are fighting, and this belongs to the Fearless faction. But in the next simulation, you enter the bookstore again, and what you read in the bookstore is not romance novels or comics, but Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time", which shows that you are a good thinker and belong to the Bogu school. ”

"But in the next simulation, you entered a refugee camp, where your friendliness and harmony showed me your solidarity, and without thinking about it, you gave the little boy what you had left, and showed me your self-denial."

"You linger in the middle of the crossroads for a long time before you choose to go, which shows that you have to think about everything, not on your instincts, and you don't belong to the Steadfast faction. Of course, by taking out all the food you take, it is clear that you are definitely not a thrifty person, so to speak, who is almost stingy with frugality, and you can't. ”

"In the end, in your simulation, another wind blew and swept you up, which can only show that your psychology is very chaotic and there is a lot of uncertainty."

I listened to what she had to say in confusion, wondering in my heart, "Is there anything wrong with this choice?!" ”

At this point, she stopped talking and lowered her head, as if thinking about something.

I didn't know what to say, so I just sat there silent.

She finally spoke again.

"The test evaluation of you is that you take into account the four characteristics of fearlessness, knowledge of the present and the past, sincere unity and self-denial, which is a ······ The Multifaceted Insurgency. Her voice grew quieter and quieter.

I looked at Susan in amazement.

"Insurgency!!"

"That's definitely not a good term!"

Susan looked at me with a solemn expression and continued, "Now your priority is that you must choose a faction, which is of vital importance to you. If you walk out of this room as a multi-faceted Insurgency, it will put you in a desperate situation, and the factions will not accommodate you, and the mediocrity will not dare to take you in, and this is the fate of the Insurgency. You only have half an hour to decide, so that those who have a lot of things won't be suspicious! ”

My heart was pounding, as if it was about to burst.

Without hesitation, I replied, "I choose to be fearless." "Because even though I'm in the next century and I'm back to my student days by mistake, I'm still a real soldier at heart.

"Okay." She let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had just stepped over a towering cliff.

"In fact, you are neither the first Insurgency nor the last Insurgency in this era. But you have to keep in mind that you have to hide your superfluous hobbies like a fox hiding its own food, and never let anyone find out, so that your life can be saved. Even if it's your closest biological parents, you can't tell them. ”

She went on to say meaningfully.

"Thirty years ago, my brother was psychologically tested and was also a multiple-choice person, not yet known as a splitter. There are very few people with this kind of diversity of choice, and my brother was very happy at the time, envisioning that he would be a top scholar. But as time went on, he gradually languished until he had a nervous breakdown and ended up in a psychiatric hospital. Although he was unlucky, he managed to save his life, and many people like him either died unexpectedly or mysteriously disappeared. In the next ten years, this special genius slowly became extinct for unknown reasons. A so-called insurgency like you has not appeared in the last decade or so. I think that even the so-called insurgents are still actively or passively changing and quietly hiding. Exposure like yours is very dangerous. You must always remember that you belong to the faction of fearlessness. This secret is known only to you and me, and no third person will know. ”

After finishing speaking, she shook hands with me solemnly, then pushed open the other door opposite, and said in a loud voice: "Don't be afraid of danger, Xu Meng." ”

I walked out of the room and the selected students applauded me for my success.

My sister stepped forward and hugged me excitedly. "Great! That's great! I expected you to succeed. ”

My eldest brother-in-law also happily high-fived me in congratulations.

I smiled reluctantly, but it was like a big rock stuck in my heart.

The last set of tests was also completed, and only a very small number of people passed.

The test is finally over. We received the uniforms of our respective factions. My uniform was a dazzling yellow, while my sister and brother-in-law's uniforms were mysteriously purple, and that's when I realized that my sister and brother-in-law had both been selected for the Tongjin Bogu School.

My sister came over, took my hand and said gently: "You have chosen the Fearless Faction, I was selected into the Tongjin Bogu faction, and my parents belong to the self-denial faction, although we have chosen different factions according to our own wishes, and the opportunities to meet in the future will be pitiful, but we will always be a family, and we will always be good sisters." ”

It was only at this time that I realized that in this era, we can neither rely on the family nor advocate filial piety to our parents, but take faction as the first and fundamental thing. As soon as we reach adulthood, we have to abandon our families, abandon our parents, and be loyal to our respective factions. Even if you don't pass the test, you can still be with your parents, but in the mediocrity your ideals will be extinguished, and poverty and fatigue will stay with you for a lifetime.

I hugged my sister tightly and didn't want to let go for a moment, but there is no banquet in the world, and separation will come sooner or later.

Eventually, we stood in our respective factions in brand new uniforms and made our way to the rostrum in the hall.

The hall was thunderous with applause, but I didn't feel any sense of pride. I looked for Mom and Dad in the audience, and finally saw them in the team of self-denial, all of whom were dressed in generous blue uniforms and sitting in a simple blue* field. Mom wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes from time to time with a handkerchief, and although Dad was applauding excitedly, he had a bitter smile on his face.

"Although fortunately my sister and I passed the psychological test, we will be separated from our dear parents forever." I thought guiltily, and suddenly wondered if I should choose to be fearless.

As our team began to walk out of the hall, I looked back at my parents again, the pain of parting was spreading in my heart, and I really wanted to snuggle up to them, but the reality was that we were going farther and farther in the other direction······
