For many people, the long night of 19th August was a sleepless night.
For others, once they woke up, they realized the world had changed. Supernatural powers, FBM, Phecda, the Supernatural Alliance …
If one opened the newspaper, the headlines would be filled with news about these things. If one opened an app or website, it would be even more overwhelming. The accompanying pictures were always of the 8 Phecda members and the focal point of the pictures was always Gu Jun.
The government did not just make these announcements, at the same time, they introduced many new policies and measures to deal with this new era. They could not allow the Qigong craze to return.
These new policies were a test of the government's wisdom and the various government departments, most of them were not Phecda's job.
Even though Phecda had made its debut, it gave people a sense of security and excitement but the department was still shrouded in mystery. On the newly launched official website, only a small amount of information was released.
There was also a 'Phecda Hotline', normal citizens could call this place if they encountered any strange incidents.
Actually, this kind of information collection had existed before but it was disguised. Some of the incidents were even featured on shows like Approaching Science.
Everything had a short period of popularity. Recently, the public was already feeling unsettled. Once this hotline was announced, the phone lines from all over the country were flooded with calls.
"Hello, is this the Phecda Hotline? I keep feeling like someone is watching me from behind … "
"Is it Phecda? I live on the 23rd floor but I keep hearing the sound of falling marbles coming from upstairs. "
According to research, no matter which floor they lived in, 80% of the people had heard this sound before. The scientific explanation was that it was caused by the cracking of cement due to thermal expansion.
Ninety-nine percent of these reports had no investigative value, but if there were any real clues, it would enter the investigation system and receive more attention.
Among the many new policies, the most eye-catching one was the one. The government would establish a 'Phecda University' to recruit new students from all over the country!
Phecda University was actually modified from the headquarters' training academy. The government planned to build more Phecda schools in the future. They would also introduce courses on supernatural powers into the education system to explore and nurture more talents.
Of course, this was also to pull those with qualifications and potential to his side, not leaving them to the outlaws.
There was no doubt that this was the wish of many young people. They wanted to enter that circle and see what supernatural power was.
That morning, Chen Jiahwa's blood was boiling because of Gu Jun's speech. Although he was still a little nervous, he made a decision.
He immediately announced to his parents, "I'm going to study medicine, and then I'm going to join Phecda!"
He didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly. Phecda University was established, and the first batch of students would be this year's high school entrance exam candidates. The exam would be held in 10 days. As for how the exam would be conducted, it was not announced. However, the teachers had received instructions from the Ministry of Education to let the examinees rest well and recuperate their spirits. This was very important.
The country was in need of manpower, but this alternative college entrance examination was voluntary. Those who did not participate or failed would continue to have their previous college entrance examination results.
Chen Jiahwa immediately signed up. His good friends Xiao Lin, Ren Yu... that Wang Zirui said that he was disgusted, but his body was very honest. He also signed up.
Almost half of the students in the class signed up. Some did not because their parents objected to the idea due to the danger, some did not want their future to change because they already had a bright future ahead of them, some wanted to leave the country and some were too timid. As for those who had failed the college entrance examination, had no family background, and couldn't go abroad, almost all of them signed up.
Looking at the recent popularity of Captain Gu's team, some of the parents also felt that Phecda was going to be a hot commodity.
In any case, those who had registered were very excited and looking forward to it. They imagined that they would obtain superpowers in the future and become superheroes again.
10 days passed in the blink of an eye. Many new things happened in this chaotic world but the black fog did not appear again.
The lockdown at London and New York was lifted. That was because the air was checked multiple times and there were no abnormalities.
The legionella pneumonia epidemic was brought under control. There were no new infected areas and the number of new cases in the infected areas was reduced to zero. Drug No. 1 was replicated and its effect was even more obvious. With the confirmation from various countries around the world, the origin of this drug was no longer a question.
The public speculated that it was because of this drug that GOA had such a smooth journey.
The Global Occult Alliance, or GOA for short.
On the 19th, England was the first to announce its participation, followed by Russia and Gaul … Once the big countries expressed their stance, the smaller countries also joined in.
However, it was not until the 26th that the United States joined the alliance. At the same time, they announced the establishment of another global organization, the World Mystery Organization, or WMO for short.
The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and other countries naturally joined in. Their countries also joined in.
There were many conflicts between human countries so it was impossible for them to work together.
The experts on television analyzed that GOA and WMO existed at the same time and cooperated with each other. There was a kind of competition between them.
Perhaps the two organizations would merge in the future but who would be the leader and what the structure would be, that was hard to say.
Amidst the chaos, the debate continued. It was about GOA versus WMO, Phecda versus FBM, whether Gu Jun's group was more capable or Bell's group from FBM was more capable. There was even a suggestion for both parties to set up a stage to settle this dispute before the world.
At the end of August, the national 'Phecda High School Entrance Examination' began.
Chen Jiahwa's team finally knew how the exam would be conducted. They each entered a quiet testing room and put on some physiological equipment. Then they stared at some pictures … There were other parts that appeared to test their mental power.
The teacher once told them, "The country needs to pick out those with extraordinary talent. No matter what their physical fitness or results are, they will be useful. You just need to rest well. Don't be nervous when the time comes, just perform normally. "
Chen Jiahwa was quite nervous throughout the process. He had no idea how well he would do. After all, this was not the first, second or third session.
However, the results came quickly. That evening, just as Chen Jiahwa reached home, the notice was sent.
The group chat exploded once more. Even the teacher did not expect that only 2 students from the whole school would be accepted, Chen Jiahwa and a girl from another class, Lu Xiaoyue. The total number of students in the whole city was less than 30. Based on this, Phecda University would only recruit about 30,000 new students.
Chen Jiahwa felt like he had won the top prize. Even the teachers and school leaders came to his home to praise him.
A large red banner was hung at the school, "Congratulations to our students Chen Jiahwa and Lu Xiaoyue for getting into Phecda University!"
However, Father Chen and Mother Chen did not know whether this was a good or bad thing. When the relatives asked about it, they could not provide any useful information.
Chen Jiahwa himself was under a lot of pressure. Thankfully, the recruitment was fast and the school term was fast. Phecda University opened on the 1st of September.
The new students from Eastern State had already boarded the special train. Like soldiers, they were escorted by the Phecda members to Phecda University at Da Hwa City. The place was filled with mystery. They really felt like they had been transported to Hogwarts or something like that.
In reality, it was quite similar. They only got their specialties after they joined the school while Chen Jiahwa continued his medical studies.
During the opening ceremony, the 20,000 plus new students gathered at the spacious square. It was so packed that not even a drop of water could trickle through. They listened to the speeches of many leaders.
Even though the teachers emphasized discipline, they had just joined the school, military training had not even started yet.
Therefore, when they saw the 'Phecda University's Visiting Professor' walking out in a dashing uniform, many people, especially the girls, could not help but let out excited whispers. The whispers in the crowd merged into a roar like a tidal wave.
The instructors immediately frowned.
