Chapter 24: Horror
After that, figures such as sociologists and writers appeared in Alfie's mouth, and they all expressed their views on this similar view, which was then partially denied and extended again by those who followed, and finally fell on science.
"After the study of modern science, it is true that everyone has the qualifications to stimulate extraordinary powers, but the conditions and difficulty of stimulation are different, and in this regard, Smit's guess is correct."
Wren suddenly had a new question: "Then why do I have no qualifications in the test from childhood to adulthood, and there are many like me?" โ
"Because the real role of those machines is not to test whether a person is qualified, but to test how easy it is for him to stimulate his qualifications, and to estimate what he can achieve in the future, and then come up with a value, the process is more complicated, you can understand it as 'achievement รท difficulty', the higher the number, the more potential the person proves. If it is too difficult to motivate and the future achievements are low, then there is no need to motivate. The sociologist mentioned earlier said that in contemporary society, there are many jobs that can prove one's ability, and if it is not suitable, there is no need to force oneself to become a transcendent. โ
Speaking of which, Alfie looked at the crystal ball on the table. "But those machines, in the final analysis, still analyze some data from the person being tested, which is accurate but not detailed enough, and it is completely incomparable to the crystal ball you see now."
At this time, Wren couldn't help but ask: "So what is this crystal ball?" โ
Alfie picked up the crystal ball from the table and looked at it carefully: "This crystal ball was picked up by the headmaster on the road decades ago. โ
โ.......โ
When Alfie turned his head, he noticed that Wren was looking at him with a blank expression.
"Why do you have such an expression? You know, divination has always been quite popular, even now, many people feel that fate is unpredictable, the key depends on their own choices in the era, there are also many people believe in these ethereal things, Principal Grayson's mother is. Once, Principal Grayson heard from his mother that she had spent a thousand dollars to find a very powerful witch to divinate him, and the witch said that his future achievements were limitless, but when she was successful in her career, a man would appear and ruin his reputation. โ
Wren hears this black line, are you sure this is a soothsayer, not a fortune teller?
Then Principal Grayson went to the witch, and he had gone to the witch to get back the thousand dollars his mother had given him, but he found out that the witch had a very peculiar crystal ball, and he bought it for 100 dollars. After his research, he believed that the crystal ball should be a treasure from tens of thousands of years ago, and belonged to a powerful witch who had the power to spy on fate. โ
So powerful?
Wren immediately became interested in this crystal ball, which was randomly placed in the testing room, and turned out to be a treasure that could peek into fate.
Even Anya, who had been silently beside her, couldn't help but look over.
"How could such a powerful thing be placed here casually? Aren't you afraid of stealing? Wren leaned over to the crystal ball and looked at it carefully.
Alfie laughed: "This is Reisburg, what thief dares to come here to steal something?" โ
"Oh, too, there's a ghost in the school."
Wren remembered the ghost old man he had seen sweeping the floor before, there should be a lot of ghosts like that in the school, plus powerful teachers and professors, it is true that only thieves who don't have long brains will come here to steal things.
But Alfie said, "What ghost? โ
Wren looked away from the crystal ball and straightened up: "It's a ghost, didn't the school get some ghosts to work in the school?" โ
Alfie was full of question marks: "Rennes-san, you are really joking." Now it is already difficult to find a job, so many unemployed people still can't find a job, and if the school gives up the job to the ghost, it will be scolded to death by the labor association. Besides, what can ghosts do? They don't have any special abilities other than creating fear and causing people to hallucinate, right? โ
Alfie's words immediately made Wren's hair stand on end. The school didn't hire ghosts, so what did you see last time?!!
He swallowed and asked carefully, "Is there not a single ghost in that school?" Like sweeping? โ
"No, if we put a few ghosts in the school, wouldn't that scare our own students? Hey, you young people, don't read the books written by laymen or anything, Wren-san, have you ever seen a ghost in school? Don't believe it if you haven't seen it......"
"But I've seen ......"
Alfie looked closely at Wren's face and confirmed that although the young man in front of him was a little nervous and flustered, it didn't look like he was lying.
"Are you sure? Where did you see that? When? โ
Although he didn't want to tell anyone about being brought to the security team at that time, Wren still didn't dare to hide something as terrifying as ghosts.
"It was after I came back from a visit to the museum a few days ago that I was ...... A little thing, he was taken to the security team, and he didn't return until the early morning of the next day, about four or five o'clock. โ
Alfie's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "You were taken to the vigilantes?" Why? Forget it, it's definitely not a big deal to send it out overnight, you just pay attention to it in the future, don't talk about this, you continue. โ
Wren nodded, but he was thinking in his heart that what he did was indeed a small thing, but in Brika City it was a big deal, but Alfie misunderstood, so he didn't have to explain a lot of things.
Anya also glanced at Wren with some surprise, she remembered asking the docent at the time, she said that Wren had gone back early, but she didn't expect him to be taken to the security team after that, I don't know what the reason was.
Wren continued, "Then I was at school and ran into a ghost old man who was sweeping the floor. โ
"Are you sure he's a ghost? Could it be a mistake? โ
Wren shook his head: "No way, his eyes are ghostly in his hat, and his knees are still transparent." Now that I think about it, he also wore a strange outfit, who swept the floor would wear a noble corset jacket. โ
At this point, Alfie realizes that Wren may have actually seen the ghost. He took a sip, he wasn't afraid of ghosts, there was a group of people in the school who could subdue them. But the question is, why is there a ghost in the school but no one notices? What if he threatens the average student?
"Did that ghost tell you anything?"
Wren thought carefully for a moment and replied, "He said he had been in this school for hundreds of years, and said that if he was a bad person, the school would be ...... The teacher had already found out about him......"
Alfie touched his stubble, this ghost seems to have a high level of intelligence, and he is logical, and he knows how to relax the vigilance of others, maybe it is not an evil spirit, but it is not possible to let such a ghost in school after all.
"Mr. Wren, this matter is very serious, you ...... Hey, you'd better finish the test first, and come with me to meet Mr. Indel, and we're going to report to the school. โ
