Dragon Raja: Oh no! Lu Mingfei has been diagnosed with depression!
Chapter 20 Materialism? Idealism? No, it's solipsism.
The conference room was empty. Only one girl with a sweet smile sat at the large conference table that could seat dozens of people at the same time. She was wearing the same uniform as Ye Sheng, except it was a skirt suit with a World Tree emblem embroidered in gold thread on the front of her short sleeves.
"My name is Shudeya, and I'm one of the interviewers for this interview."
The girl stood up and bowed in a typical Japanese manner.
"I guess I don't need to introduce myself?"
Lu Mingfei nodded and naturally sat down opposite Jiu Deya.
Ye Sheng swallowed back the "Please sit down" that was on the tip of his tongue. He exchanged a glance with Jiu Deya and sat down next to her.
"We've already looked at your application form, so there's no need for you to introduce yourself again."
Shudeya said softly, "Let's get started. The first question is, do you believe in aliens?"
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. Yesterday, Lao Tang gave him a crash course on the questions that university interviewers might ask, from the more common "Why do you want to apply to our school?" to the more bizarre "Do you add sugar to your coffee?"
Old Tang complained that foreigners' brains are more neurotic, so they ask all sorts of strange questions. They firmly believe that the more abstract the questions are, the clearer they can see into a person's heart.
But those bizarre questions seem perfectly normal when faced with "Do you believe in aliens?" After all, asking you if you add sugar to your coffee at least tells you whether your eating habits are compatible with the school cafeteria.
No wonder the interviewees who just came in all looked bewildered when they came out. They weren't questioning the meaning of life; they were just wondering if aliens really exist!
"I don't believe it."
Lu Mingfei answered.
"Don't you believe me?"
A look of astonishment crossed Jiu Deya's face. She exchanged a glance with Ye Sheng and asked, "Why don't you believe me?"
Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow, placed his hands on the conference table, and looked into the eyes of Jiu Deya:
"So you believe that aliens really exist?"
"Damn it! Are you the examiner or are we the examiners?" Jiu Deya and Ye Sheng were both getting nervous. It was like hailing a taxi on the street, getting in and the driver asking where you wanted to go, but you asked the driver back where you wanted to go, and the driver had no idea where you wanted to go.
"Lu Mingfei, we are interviewing you."
"Itsuki Yaki whispered a reminder."
"If you cannot answer my question, I choose to abstain."
After Lu Mingfei finished speaking, he shut his mouth and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a rhythmic "tap tap" sound. He looked more like an examiner with the power of life and death, while Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya were just interviewees who were about to be eliminated by him.
"Our answer isn't actually that important to you. You may not know much about Kassel College, but we have some of the best professors in the world. Our president is a renowned educator, and the college also collaborates with the military and government. The college will help every student realize their potential."
Ye Sheng patiently guided Lu Mingfei, trying to make him understand just how precious the opportunity was in front of him, so that he could adopt the right attitude for the interview.
Lu Mingfei remained silent, looking down at his fingers as he tapped the table more and more rapidly. The only sound in the quiet conference room was the ticking, like the hands of a clock turning, which inexplicably made people feel uneasy.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya were genuinely panicked because they weren't sure if Lu Mingfei would actually give up the interview because of this. If it were any other interviewee, they would have stood up, smiled, and said goodbye by now.
But sitting in front of them was Lu Mingfei. Before leaving, Professor Guderian grabbed Ye Sheng by the collar and forced him to swear that he would make sure Lu Mingfei passed the interview, saying that he was the principal's S-level candidate and a lost gem of Kassel.
They dared not imagine what would happen if Professor Guderian returned and heard that Lu Mingfei had given up the interview because of them. Would he throw them into the sea in a fit of anger and make them swim back to the academy on their own?
"We believe in the existence of extraterrestrials."
Ye Sheng said quietly.
Lu Mingfei finally stopped knocking and looked up at them:
"You can ask the next question now."
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya both breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Lu Mingfei didn't press them for their reasons for believing him.
"Second question: Do you believe in superpowers?"
Shutoku Aki looked down at the notebook in front of him.
"I don't believe it."
Lu Mingfei gave the same answer.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya began to feel a sense of dread. They thought to themselves, "No matter what questions we ask you, you'll just answer 'I don't believe you,' right? You're not here for an interview at all; you're here to cause trouble!"
"Why don't you believe it?"
But the process still had to be completed, so Shudeya forced a smile as she looked at Lu Mingfei.
But amidst their horrified gazes, Lu Mingfei placed his finger on the table again.
"We believe that superpowers exist."
Ye Sheng quickly pressed down on Lu Mingfei's hand, stopping him from continuing to knock.
Today's interview was extremely bizarre. First, a young girl talked to them about UFOs for 15 minutes. Then another girl came in and cursed them as crazy as soon as she heard the first question. Now, Lu Mingfei, who is rebelling against the Heavenly Gang, has come to cause trouble.
They all had some doubts about just how good the feng shui of Shilan Middle School must be to be able to produce three such outstanding students at the same time. It was said that the president of the Lionheart Society in the school was also a graduate of this school. In this light, this small middle school was indeed a place of outstanding people and auspicious energy.
After a moment of silence, Shudeya asked her third question:
"One last question: Do you think the foundation of human existence is idealistic, spiritual and spiritual, or materialistic, based on matter and the body?"
After asking the question, she took a deep breath, sat up straight, and looked at Lu Mingfei. There was no standard answer to this question. Whether Lu Mingfei chose idealism or materialism, they could find reasons to fill out the admission notice.
Lu Mingfei shook his head.
"What...does shaking your head mean?"
Ye Sheng glanced hesitantly at Jiu Deya, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
"Materialism? Idealism? I don't think so."
Lu Mingfei said slowly, "I feel more like it's 'self-centeredness'."
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya were both stunned, then felt as if a bomb had exploded in their heads. The loud bang and mushroom cloud shattered their world into pieces, and what fell to the ground and turned into dust was their cognition.
"May I ask why you say that?"
Ye Sheng could no longer laugh. He stared intently at Lu Mingfei's hand, ready to press it down at any moment.
