At this mont, the entire venue was in chaos.
However, compared to the others, the students who had already experienced the Mystic World were noticeably calr.
Especially those who had completed their tasks; none of them appeared flustered.
In fact, a few of them even had a hint of a smile on their faces.
"Weren't you scared at all?" Ye Qingyao looked at the composed Jiang Che, feeling curious.
Jiang Che: "..."
Should I say I didn't even realize what was happening?
Would you believe ?
Seeing Jiang Che remain silent, Ye Qingyao chuckled softly, "Looks like you've figured it out too. It's probably the people from the Uncanny Bureau."
The Uncanny Investigation Bureau, abbreviated as the Uncanny Bureau.
It's a national departnt dedicated to investigating and handling uncanny events.
It's said that everyone in the Uncanny Bureau is a challenger who has completed multiple Uncanny Trials, and many of them are even contractors.
Just then.
A middle-aged man with a beard walked in from outside the main door.
He had two dals hanging on his chest, which were quite eye-catching.
"A bunch of cowards."
His voice, neither too loud nor too soft, made everyone snap back to reality.
Especially upon seeing the black uniform he wore, they instantly understood what had happened.
Yet, many still turned pale, too frightened to even stand.
The middle-aged man slowly walked up to the podium.
His voice was deep.
"From now on, I don't want to hear any sound other than mine."
The entire venue fell silent instantly.
Often, a person's powerful aura only requires a few words.
Of course, the appearance of those people in mourning clothes also played a significant role.
After a brief silence.
The man spoke again, "Let introduce myself first."
"I am Zhou Yong, a mber of the Uncanny Investigation Bureau's Team 3033."
"What you just saw was rely a ntal invasion perford by the ghostly spirit within , an illusion."
"Your performance... disappointed and even made laughable!"
"If..."
"If the younger generation is like you! Do you think our country has a future?"
Zhou Yong suddenly scolded, and the entire venue remained silent.
The terrifying aura made so people start to sweat.
Jiang Che frowned slightly, feeling a bit surprised.
According to past practices, when so universities ca to recruit, they would deliberately create so commotion to test the students' reactions.
This was to infer whether the students' achievents in the Mystic World were genuine and whether they t the recruitnt requirents.
After all, they couldn't see what exactly happened in the Mystic World.
They could only judge whether the challenge was completed and whether the person who went in was still alive through the entry device.
But it was indeed the first ti for people from the Uncanny Bureau to show up.
Just when Jiang Che couldn't figure it out.
Xiaoman's voice suddenly echoed in his mind, "Did he scare you? Should I kill him?"
Jiang Che: "Who? Who got scared? Stop talking nonsense! Be quiet!"
Xiaoman: "Don't you believe in my strength? According to your human classification, the ghostly spirit in this person is at most D-level, I can crush him with one hand."
Jiang Che: "Are you trying to get thrown in jail?"
Xiaoman: "Jail? It's not like I haven't been there before."
Xiaoman: "Coward!"
Jiang Che: "..."
After a long while.
Zhou Yong continued.
"On September 23, Uncanny Year 121, 3,214 residents of a neighborhood in the mountain city disappeared overnight, and their skins were hung on their balconies."
"On November 3, Uncanny Year 121, in a mountain village in Zhejiang Province, 23 farrs were turned into scarecrows and placed in the fields, while the original scarecrows vanished."
"On March 13, Uncanny Year 122, a famous amusent park in the magic city witnessed a clown dismbernt incident..."
Zhou Yong recounted nurous uncanny events, most of which were covered in textbooks.
"We can enter the Mystic World, and similarly, the things in the Mystic World can enter our world."
"Do we really have to wait until the end of the world for you to understand how important it is to undertake the Uncanny Trial?"
Zhou Yong said a lot.
The atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.
An hour later, he finally got to the point.
"The reason I'm here today is simple: to conduct another Uncanny Trial. Of course, this ti, no one will be forced to participate; it's entirely your choice."
"However, I will make a guarantee here."
"Those who can complete the main task of this challenge will be guaranteed admission to Tsinghua or Peking University. Those who perform exceptionally well can beco special recruits and even beco reserve mbers of the Uncanny Bureau!"
"In addition to that, there will be other rewards, which I won't elaborate on."
"Now, those willing to take on this challenge, stay. Those who aren't."
"The door is there."
After speaking, Zhou Yong closed his eyes.
The principal and others below the stage remained silent, aware of this situation.
But they had no right to interfere with anything the Uncanny Bureau did, and besides...
They couldn't understand why the Uncanny Bureau would hold an extra Uncanny Trial at their school.
The crowd began to stir, whispering.
"Crazy, I'm not participating."
"Exactly, those uncanny things have nothing to do with . After all, there are people from the Uncanny Bureau to handle it, why should I worry?"
"Indeed, encountering the uncanny at worst ans death, and besides, such things don't happen every day, or else the world would have ended already."
"Let's go, let's go, this graduation ceremony is disgusting."
Many students got up and left.
The number of people present dwindled.
From over a hundred at the beginning, only a dozen remained.
At this mont, Jiang Che's face turned red.
Because a strong force enveloped his entire body, rendering him immobile!
Jiang Che: "You actually dare to forcibly control my body?"
Xiaoman: "So what if I do?"
Jiang Che: "Let go! You must follow my orders!"
Xiaoman: "My head is in the Mystic World, you said you'd help find it, so this doesn't count as violating the contract."
Jiang Che: "Are you exploiting a loophole?"
"Hmph, I don't care."
"I didn't say I wouldn't look, just not now, I have other things to do!"
"Hmph, I don't care."
"Are you a broken record? Do you believe I'll go to jail and kill you?"
"When a contract spirit dies, the contractor can suffer anything from brain damage, incontinence, to paralysis, or even death, don't you know?"
Jiang Che had a look as if he had eaten sothing foul.
Is this for real?
This is what happens when you don't study well?
It's over, it's over, it's over, folks, Barbie Q'd.
Another ten minutes passed.
Still, no one left.
At this point, Zhou Yong's eyes finally showed a hint of approval.
He spoke, "Very well, you are all very brave. As a reward, each of you will now receive a bonus of 200,000."
"This money will be transferred to your guardians by the principal shortly."
Principal: "???"
Zhou Yong whispered, "Reimburse it later."
The principal breathed a sigh of relief, "Bro, you almost scared to death..."
"Now, let's begin the countdown."
"In three minutes, we'll enter the Mystic World."
"Oh, wait, it's one minute."
Zhou Yong took out a pre-set entry device and pressed the button on it.
The countdown began.
Jiang Che: "Damn it, stop controlling my body, let go!"
Xiaoman: "I won't!"
"Xiaoman, be good."
"Scram."
"I have a glowing 3090!"
"Not interested."
At this mont, Jiang Che noticed that Zhou Yong on the stage was staring at him.
Their eyes t, and the latter smiled and nodded.
"Jiang Che, right? I have high hopes for you, good luck!"
Jiang Che was speechless.
Good luck, my ass...
The countdown reached zero.
Twelve students vanished without a trace.
