Including Yin Ren and Zhong Chengshuo, there were a total of six people present for the physical examination.
The evil spirit leaked out in the vision examination room, and the expressions of two of them changed - they were ordinary-looking. The man is wearing a blue vest and is tall and thin. The woman is wearing a red bonnet and her hair is a little curly.
The blue vest and the red soft hat seemed to know each other, and they exchanged slightly nervous glances.
The two of them were covered with common gadgets in small markets, such as jade plaques and pendants with eye-catching colors, and bead strings made of suspicious wood. They were tangled up in a pile, clattering as the two moved.
Yin Ren took a peek with interest. Those things had a hint of magic and were probably the lowest level spiritual weapons.
New practitioners like to wear these. Thousands of years have passed, but this tradition has not changed much. These kinds of spiritual objects are of different quality and easy to get. Wearing a bunch of them with jingling sounds is quite lively, which is good for building courage.
It's a pity that these two people obviously didn't have the courage. They looked solemn, whispered for a while, and then retreated.
Yin Ren turned his head and realized something was wrong.
Just because he was distracted, he was ranked first in the inspection queue - Zhong Cheng said that when he saw that he was not moving, he consciously stood behind him. Several others were happy to have someone take the lead, and the team instantly formed.
Yin Ren: "..."
Led by Yin Ren, the short team lined up neatly. The six people remained motionless, as if they were performing some strange ceremony. No one came in to check for a long time, and the person at the door greeted in a muffled voice: "You can come in, one at a time."
The "wall" filled with evil energy became transparent, and only then did Yin Ren know the actual area of the room -
There were no windows in this room, the lights were dim, and a strong evil aura surged from the right side. Yin Ren did not immediately identify the source of the evil spirit. He looked straight at the corner without changing his expression.
Yin Ren was sure that the evil spirit had been sealed without any flaws, and then he forced himself to open the door. As soon as he stepped inside, the heavy wooden door closed behind him with a loud bang.
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist, right? Yin Ren slowly looked at Zhong Cheng and said, the latter's face was full of innocence.
Next to the meat hive in the corner, a man and a woman sat facing the wall.
In addition to the notebook and pen, there was also a dark, flattened spoon-like object in front of the two of them. If Yin Ren had a richer reserve of modern knowledge, he would have known that it was called an "eye-covering plate."
The thing vaguely had a human shape, but it was two or three times larger than an ordinary person. The soft flesh all over its body was stacked on top of each other, its limbs and head were swallowed up by layers of fat, leaving only some bulges, and its skin was covered with deep red cracks.
It doesn't look good to stare at others all the time. Yin Ren politely withdrew his gaze and looked at the whole room instead.
After passing through the narrow entrance, the space immediately becomes wider.
"Use it to cover one eye, and then point out the direction 'they' are pointing to." The female staff member handed over the eye shield.
There were tiny cracks all over the wall, and a piece of paper was stuck on the most conspicuous place. The white paper was a little yellowed, and there were some notes written on it, such as "Please take off your glasses, contact lenses, and all spiritual weapons on your body." The iron lockers are filled with keys, and the keys have orange number plates hanging on them, like some kind of bright fungus.
There is a big white wall when you enter the door.
They were wearing standard staff uniforms and had ID badges hanging around their necks. The cold light shone on their faces, and their skin color looked like a corpse.
They didn't seem to care about Yin Ren's abnormal behavior of "staring at the corner" and only intended to guide him step by step.
Fortunately the staff are very considerate.
Everything smells of age.
As soon as she finished speaking, a white light suddenly lit up on Yin Ren's right side.
The room was divided into two parts, leaving only half of the space where he stood. The right half of the space is separated by a glass wall and hidden in shadow. It is covered with black paint and divided into twelve equal parts with white lines. The Chinese characters counting from one to twelve are painted on the wall.
This thing is like a swollen honeycomb, with countless pale red mucus coming out of it, covering the corners of the wall like honey. As the huge body rose and fell, the mucus gave off a light fishy smell like egg white.
There was a big group of things crowded in the corner, which didn't match the cold and clean space.
Below the corresponding count, there is an evil object standing on each side.
The larger the number on the head of the evil creature, the stronger the evil spirit. They all have arm-like structures that point steadily in different directions.
The evil thing on the far left should be an ordinary ghost, with only a faint silvery white outline. It squatted against the wall, so weak that it seemed like it would disappear in the next second. The evil thing on the far right looks like an irregular lump of flesh, bound by rusty iron chains, and its evil energy is about the same as ten resentment baskets.
In the gap between the chains, it stretched out something like a segmented tentacle, pointing upward.
This is indeed a vision test, but what is tested is probably not the strength of the naked eye, but the strength of the "yin and yang eyes".
"Are you ready?" the male staff member said hoarsely.
Yin Ren nodded and picked up the blindfold.
"Starting from the 12th, you just point out the direction you see... Okay, let's start. 12th."
The sarcoma-shaped evil thing moved, and its originally curved tentacles straightened out, pointing directly at the ceiling.
This guy is in pretty good spirits. If it has a waist, it must be very upright. Yin Ren glanced at it suspiciously, trying to find the Shi'an employee card.
Seeing that Yin Ren was just looking at it, No. 12 shook his tentacles vigorously and slowly pointed upward again. Even though it had no face, Yin Ren felt a touch of kindness out of thin air—its posture was like teaching an ignorant child.
Yin Ren stretched out his hand speechlessly and pointed upward.
The sarcoma made a grunting sound of satisfaction, and the tentacles wrapped around the shape of a human hand, showing him a "thumbs up".
I don't know what you mean, but it doesn't have to be that way. Yin Ren smiled awkwardly and gestured back to it.
When asked about No. 5 backwards, Yin Ren deliberately looked like he was struggling.
Seeing this, the female staff member knocked on the table and gestured toward the glass, and the evil creatures all pointed in different directions. This scene was repeated four or five times. The two of them were sure that he was not a fluke, so they continued. During the whole process, the evil creatures were very cooperative and even seemed to enjoy it.
Is Shi'an's treatment really so good? Yin Ren couldn't help but feel a little moved.
The left eye and the right eye were tested in turn. His bowl of water was flat, and he "barely" answered No. 4.
"good."
The female staff member smiled briefly and raised a few particularly stiff wrinkles at the corners of her mouth. She wrote furiously for a while, and then stamped a stamp on the physical examination form. The seal lines are dark, and the pattern is very similar to the one on Fangyuanyuan's work certificate.
"Take the physical examination form and turn right when you go out. The order of the next examination items is not limited. Try to complete it before five o'clock." The female staff member nodded at him, "You can go, call the next one in."
After Yin Ren went out, he met with Zhong Cheng.
Seeing that Yin Ren was safe and sound, the others relaxed to varying degrees. Only Mr. Zhong stared at a certain point in the void, looking thoughtful.
Yin Ren specially patted Zhong Cheng on the shoulder: "Brother Zhong, it's your turn."
Zhong Cheng said that he seemed to have fallen asleep while standing, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He blinked confusedly and muttered "Thank you."
Yin Ren smiled at the remaining people. He held the physical examination report tightly and sat down on the black chair neatly. Someone was definitely spying on them now, and he had to maintain human virtue at all times - in such a strange and gloomy place, humans can stick together and never walk alone.
You can also eavesdrop on the situation.
Unfortunately, reality did not go that smoothly. The door panel is definitely blessed by some kind of magic, and the other side is as quiet as under the water. The wooden door quickly closed, drowning out the sound of Zhong Cheng's footsteps and the evil spirit.
As a result, Mr. Zhong walked out with a serious face within two minutes of entering.
He held the physical examination form in his hand, with two eye-catching "0"s written in the visual acuity column. The pen was written with great force, enough to show the surprise of the staff. At the top of the physical examination form, there is a very dazzling red stamp, which is exactly the same as the one on the "Professor Li" work permit.
It seems that this kid's blindness is very stable, which is reassuring.
"Let's go together?" Yin Ren asked deliberately.
"No problem, but they asked me to go this way. You too?" Zhong Cheng said that he was not bothered by the two zeros, and he pointed to the side of the red chair kindly.
"I have to go out and turn right. It's a pity, we are on different roads."
Zhong Cheng nodded in understanding: "You can wait a little longer, there will definitely be someone traveling the same way as you."
After saying that, he turned around decisively and walked straight into the corridor. Despite the unfamiliar and weird environment, Zhong Cheng said his posture was relaxed, and his figure was quickly swallowed up by the darkness at the end.
Yin Ren: "..."
He didn't understand whether he was being too cautious or whether humans today were too cautious. In view of Fangyuan Yuan's emphasis on "don't go in the wrong direction", Yin Ren waited obediently on the chair, with the ends of his long hair slightly bent by the seat of the chair.
Yin Ren quickly waited for his "companion".
The blue vest and the red bonnet really knew each other. As soon as the blue vest finished the test, he anxiously lingered at the door until the red soft hat met him with the report. The two men did not hide it deliberately, and their reports were stamped with black marks.
Yin Ren: "Do you want to wait together? This place is a bit eerie. It would be more practical if there are more people."
The blue vest smiled nervously: "Let's go. I just talked with the two behind them. They are from a science post and are not from the same group as us."
"Yeah, look at the red mark that came out before. If you say you want to leave, you can leave by yourself." Red Soft Hat exclaimed.
Since "the two at the back" haven't entered the door yet, the "red seal" she mentioned should refer to Zhong Cheng.
She still doesn't know about Zhong Cheng's glorious record. Most people should at least see No. 12 and become afraid of this place. For Mr. Zhong, the vision examination room may be just an ordinary room.
Yin Ren struck while the iron was hot: "Can I go with you?"
"Let's go together. If there are more people, it will be more lively." Blue Vest agreed happily.
Lord Ghost King pretended not to understand the definition of "many people". The two stood in a row and headed towards the other end of the corridor.
"I just heard you talking about 'Red Seal' and 'Science Post'. What do they mean?" The opportunity was not to be missed, so Yin Ren asked without understanding.
Red Soft Hat looked shocked: "You don't know?"
"I was involved in some incident two days ago. I was just assigned here. I have never heard of this before."
I don't know if the blue vest is to relieve tension, or because he is a good teacher at heart. Finding that Yin Ren knew nothing about it, he suddenly became excited: "Then you need to know more about it. The 'Red Seal' is the 'Science Post'. The Science Post only accepts genuine highly educated talents, who are said to have at least a master's degree."
Yin Ren can understand the word "talent". It seems that Zhong Cheng is indeed a scholar, he thought to himself.
"In contrast, Black Seal is a non-scientific position, and you must have some special abilities. There are only two types of people in our industry who can enter, one is a wild man like you who has adventures, and the other is an expert with family inheritance."
Yin Ren looked at the two men's attire again. He felt that the temperament of these two men was not that of a wild man, and their ability was not that of an expert. They were really elusive. But out of politeness, he didn't want to ask at all.
"You know these very well." Yin Ren continued to test.
"I've done some homework. Just to stamp us was to classify them. Next, we have to examine our abilities and determine our positions."
"In other words, if it is stamped, it will definitely pass?"
The blue vest suddenly deflated as if it was leaking air: "How can there be such a good thing? It's not good enough if you are not strong enough. Brother, don't you know Shi An's salary?"
Yin Ren is not worried about his strength. Even if he is in poor condition, he can definitely defeat all the practitioners nearby. What he is worried about is that it is difficult to control the degree of "normal" - after thousands of years, the standard of "normal" is somewhat elusive.
It's right to keep up with these two. The blue vest and the red soft hat are excellent reference people. This time he will definitely not be the first to check. From this moment on, they are a harmonious and friendly trio of underdogs.
The weak trio didn't go far before the second, third, and fourth doors appeared at the same time.
On one of the doors was written "Physique Examination Room," followed by a crude icon of a brain. Opposite it is the "Compression Testing Room", with a cracked heart painted on the door sign.
The last door was right next to the corner. It was completely dark, with nothing above the door number.
