Chapter 183 Weird Interview
Sunday morning, Regent Hotel.
This is the most luxurious hotel in the city, a global chain, five-star.
Su Beixun saw the dignified and friendly receptionist through the transparent glass, as well as the luxurious sofa chairs in the lobby and the free snacks on the table, and then he pushed the door and walked in.
After thinking about it all night, he decided to attend the interview in Kassel - he was very interested in this university that was very secretive and seemed unusual online.
"Welcome." The girl in uniform bent slightly with just the right smile on her face.
Su Beixun nodded, refused her company, and took the elevator to the executive floor.
The elevator door slowly opened.
Outside the conference room, there were exactly 17 chairs. A dozen people had already arrived and were sitting there, talking quietly.
Su Beixun took a quick look and found that most of them were students from other classes in Shilan Middle School. They all had good grades and had met each other many times at commendation meetings.
"...Su Beixun."
Just as he was filling out the form placed on the chair, another boy three seats away let out a soft cry and subconsciously clenched his palms.
His black hair was combed back and fixed with hairspray. He was wearing a light yellow suit, which made him look solemn and lively at the same time.
"Are you going to wear this kind of clothes to the interview?" Zhao Menghua looked at Su Beixun's crimson casual jacket and the shiny decorations hanging on it, and after trying to hold back, he finally spoke up.
He was very unhappy with Su Beixun.
Of course, this was not because they had any hatred, they were just high school students, and even if there was a conflict, it would not have risen to that level. Not to mention that it was hard to even talk about a conflict between the two of them.
However, for a favored child who is the center of attention, he always has to pay more attention to the "enemy" who made him taste the bitterness of defeat.
Since childhood, Zhao Menghua has firmly believed that he is a successful winner.
He was gifted and came from a wealthy family. In his most immature junior high school years, he once wrote on the cover of his diary - "There are always people who are born to reach the top" - to describe his ambitions.
Unfortunately, when he was full of confidence and ready to soar into the sky in high school, his wings were cruelly broken, he was kicked off the clouds, and then he was pointed at by the nose and told that he was just a dreaming toad.
Perhaps after entering the society, he would no longer take the other party seriously because of his own background, connections, and financial resources. But now, Zhao Menghua was unwilling to accept this.
Su Beixun ignored him, put the form away and picked up his phone to play. Zhao Menghua snorted coldly and sat up straighter, trying to leave a good impression on the examiner.
The elevator door opened and closed, and the seats gradually filled up. The last person to come in was a boy with limp hair, low brows, and a languid look.
"Lu Mingfei?" Zhao Menghua made a surprised sound again, feeling very surprised that the last student in the class would appear here.
"I... I'm here for an interview, too." Lu Mingfei swallowed, feeling a little embarrassed, and quickly sat on the last chair.
Su Beixun took a quick glance and then looked away - just an insignificant passerby.
Perhaps everyone had arrived, the door of the conference room opened, and a tall and thin man walked out and asked in fluent Chinese: "Is Liu Miaomiao here?"
A girl stood up immediately, her voice trembling slightly: "Here!"
As the door closed, the people outside turned their heads to look at each other, unable to hide their nervousness. They exchanged the intelligence they had collected through various channels, praised the strength of Kassel Academy, and each said that they were not sure.
But when Zhao Menghua said this, his eyes always unconsciously glanced towards Su Beixun who was still playing with his cell phone.
"So calm! Such a top student is so confident." Lu Mingfei noticed Zhao Menghua's little action and looked at the well-deserved number one in Shilan Middle School, and couldn't help but feel envious.
If he did the same action, he would just be laughed at as a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, right?
At this time, the door was pushed open.
The girl who just went in didn’t last more than ten minutes. With red eyes, she picked up her schoolbag, turned around and walked out.
"Zhao Menghua." The man called the second name.
Zhao Menghua took a deep breath and gave Su Beixun a provocative look, but within three minutes he came out with a blank look.
Su Xiaoqiang, Chen Wenwen...
Everyone went in one by one and came out one by one.
then……
"Su Beixun." The man called out the name and this time he looked at him a few more times.
Su Beixun put his phone back into his pocket and followed him in.
"Come on." Lu Mingfei whispered behind him, but no one heard him.
"My name is Ye Sheng." The man introduced himself as he led the way.
The entire conference room was empty. There were more than a dozen chairs at the large round table, but only a girl with a sweet smile was sitting inside.
"Hello, my name is Shude Aki, and I'm the examiner this time." The girl stood up and bowed in Japanese style.
Su Beixun nodded in return, pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down. The wooden chair made a rustling sound as it rubbed against the thick carpet, and the pause was even louder.
Ye Sheng sat next to Jiude Aki and opened his notebook: "Then let's get started."
Su Beixun smiled. He clasped his hands together and placed them on the table. As if because he was nervous, he kept switching their positions up and down, which made the two people opposite him look at him twice.
then.
"Do you believe in aliens?" Shude Aki asked softly.
Su Beixun's eye twitched.
He guessed that it might be different, but he didn't expect the interview at this school to be so unusual. The appearance of this question in this situation was like waking up one day and seeing a pop-up window of a program error in the sky, full of black humor and absurdity.
But...it's really interesting!
He grinned excitedly: "I believe it."
Ye Sheng started to write down the answer, but Jiude Aki just asked calmly: "Why do you believe it?"
"Because that will make the world more interesting," said Su Beixun.
Ye Sheng paused while writing: "Interesting?"
"Yes." Su Beixun nodded without further explanation.
Jiude Aki and Ye Sheng looked at each other and were about to ask the second question.
but.
Su Beixun suddenly stretched out his hand to interrupt: "Please wait a moment."
He leaned back in his chair and said, "I think, since this is an interview, it should be a mutual choice between the two of us... So, can I ask a question?"
He tapped the table with his index finger, and the decorations on his body, which looked like fragments of mirrors, turned the sunlight into seven colors. For some reason, Ye Sheng nodded: "Of course."
Su Beixun narrowed his eyes and spoke in a softer voice: "I want to ask...what does Kassel College do?"
The air was quiet for a moment.
"Slay the dragon!" Ye Sheng looked dazed, but his voice was firm.
dragon?
Su Beixun paused in surprise. He was about to ask again, but a powerful momentum suddenly descended! It was like blocking a needle and pushing a piston, pressing the air in the conference room into liquid!
Four golden eyes were ignited by the raging fire, and the dazzling light filled the world. The moment they opened, it seemed that even the day would dim like night!
The wind stopped and the clouds stagnated. A bird standing on the window fell straight down with its body stiff.
This is a crushing of the life level!
It is the high species looking down upon the low species!
Just like a mouse facing a cat, a rabbit facing a wolf!
However, Su Beixun's first reaction was that the brightness was too high, and it hurt his eyes. "Is this... the dragon you were talking about?" His eyes were burning, and his mouth was cracked, but in his heart, there was an unprecedented surge of anger!
The emperor sitting in heaven was pointed at by the eunuch and cursed at, and he violently wanted to exterminate the provocateur along with all his nine clans!
A brighter golden light flowed at the bottom of the scarlet pupils, a light purer than the sun. However, just before it was about to break through the cage, the golden pupils of Jiude Aki and Ye Sheng slowly extinguished.
So it also disappeared again.
"Is this your spiritual power?" Ye Sheng's expression was solemn. He felt a headache as he remembered that he had blurted out the school's secret without realizing it.
"Word spirit? No, this is just a simple hypnosis technique." Su Beixun shook his head: "But in all this time, this is the first time I've seen someone get rid of it so quickly."
Hypnosis techniques?
Ye Sheng frowned, not believing it at all. Although his bloodline did not reach the A-level, it was also the elite among the B-level. Even the psychological counselors in the academy could not hypnotize him and Jiude Aki in such a short time.
The atmosphere fell into silence.
After a moment, Su Beixun stood up and said, "I am very interested in the dragon and the Word Spirit you mentioned, but there are people waiting outside, so now is probably not the right time."
"If possible, I hope we can find some time to talk alone. I believe you can find my address."
He nodded politely and turned to leave.
No one saw that the pair of calm red eyes were surging with waves, just like a peerless swordsman who had retired from the world and finally found a reason to take action, and the sharpness showed through from under the rust.
Ye Sheng was a little at a loss for a moment. Logically, since Su Beixun knew about the existence of the dragon race, he should take necessary measures. But Ye Sheng assumed that the other party was also a mixed-blood, so he was in a dilemma.
"Forget it, let's wait for the professor to come and let him decide." He sighed lightly, put his mind at ease, pushed open the door, and called out the most important name: "Lu Mingfei."

After leaving the Regent Hotel, Su Beixun took off his stuffy coat and walked on the road in a daze.
The sun was scorching the ground, and white smoke seemed to be rising from the concrete slabs.
He stepped on his own shadow, not knowing what his current mood was...
joy?
Confused?
Shock?
Still confused?
He really wanted to express his complex inner emotions using a fan chart, because this would allow him to more intuitively see what he really desired.
But there is one thing he is sure of!
Just like Truman roaring at the rainstorm on the sea, sailing through the waves, and punching the fate in the strong wind.
Su Beixun's heart was also saying, I must go in! I must go and see what this world really looks like!
"Long..." He murmured and took out his cell phone from his pocket.
"it's useless."
On the busy street, a soft voice reached my ears accurately.
The child followed him step by step, like a tail that could not be shaken off, raised his head and whispered: "The truth is like the lush forest on the other side of the cliff. Before you really step into it, no matter how you look, you can only find the most superficial cover."
He said meaningfully: "That may be part of the truth, but it is only the most insignificant part."
Su Beixun paused.
He stopped and stood in the crowd for a long time. Then he turned around, no longer pretending to be invisible to outsiders like he had done in the past four years.
"What are you?" he asked. After learning about the dark side of the world, it felt for the first time that this child was not just suffering from a mental illness.
Clouds blocked the sun, a breeze blew through the darkness, and shadows fell on two similar faces.
"Why do you say that?" The child tilted his head and showed a mischievous smile: "I am just a personality you imagined, brother, don't you remember?"
The scattered hair is fluttering in the wind.
"……Yeah."
Su Beixun was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Then, can you tell me...your name?"
The child was stunned.
His smile faded little by little, he pursed his lips, opened his mouth and closed it again.
Finally, the child whispered, "Su Ziyi."
He stood with his hands behind his back and his eyes curved, as if he had eaten a candy rewarded by an adult, and his whole body exuded a happy smell.
"Brother, you can call me Su Ziyi."

At the Regent Hotel, after all the interviews were over, a man pushed the door open in a hurry.
He was an old man, looking dusty, wearing thick glasses on his nose, with messy gray hair, a tattered suit, and pants that seemed too big.
"How was the interview?" he asked urgently before he could even put down his suitcase.
"Professor Guderian." Ye Sheng smiled bitterly: "There was a small problem with the interview."
"What?!" The old man was shocked, his eyes widened and he said in horror: "Did Lu Mingfei not come for the interview?"
"Uh, no, that's not the case." Ye Sheng turned to Lu Mingfei's record page and handed it to him.
"Oh, I was scared to death." Professor Guderian wiped the sweat off his face.
He took the paper and looked at the answer on it with joy: "Great! Great! Look how good this child's answer is! He believes in the existence of aliens because looking at the stars makes him feel lonely! Full marks! Absolute full marks!"
The professor held the paper to his face, wishing he could leave a hundred or eighty lip prints to express his happiness.
"...Professor, I understand that the academy will give convenience to students with bloodline advantages...but aren't you being too blatant?" Ye Sheng's mouth twitched and he grabbed his hair.
"No! You don't understand!" Guderian didn't want to take his eyes off the paper at all: "After decades, we finally found an S-level candidate! If you fail the interview, then you can just wait to go dig potatoes with me in Siberia!"
He paused and said, "It sounds pretty good. We can even invite Manstein to join us."
Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki looked at each other and suddenly remembered that he had leaked the academy's secrets. If the punishment was to dig potatoes... No! Absolutely not!
He grabbed Professor Guderian's wrist and said, "Professor! The S-level matter is indeed very important, but there is another question in this interview that requires your guidance."
Together with Shude Aki, he briefly recounted the story of how he was hypnotized.
"Oh my God! Oh my God! Is what you said true?" Professor Guderian pressed his hand to his chest.
His eyes lit up, and he seemed to be flying with joy: "You and Aki Shude are both B-level, right? The fact that he can hypnotize you in such a short time means that he is very likely to be A-level! What's his name?"
"...Su Beixun." Ye Sheng took out another piece of paper.
“Believe in aliens… because… it’s interesting?” Professor Guderian took a look and was excited again: “Although there is a gap between this answer and Lu Mingfei’s, it is undoubtedly also excellent! Full marks! Also full marks!”
Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki looked at each other again and lowered their heads weakly.
"Okay! You will be responsible for the kid named Su Beixun. You must make him join our Kassel College!" Professor Guderian made the decision.
"What about you?"
"Of course I'm going to find Lu Mingfei!" The old man straightened his ugly clothes. "I couldn't sleep all night on the plane. I just wanted to see this S-level treasure as soon as possible."
"You will scare the students' parents by doing this." Ye Sheng reminded carefully, but when he saw Professor Guderian's high-spirited chin, he had to give up.
