In the white conference room, high-ranking officials of the Foundation appeared one after another, and soon over a hundred people were present.
Although in Geng Xing Shu's group there were only about twenty Foundation members, his was just one of several groups. Similar tests were being conducted simultaneously on other floors of the Mirror Maze.
After more than twenty minutes, people stopped appearing. Geng Xing Shu looked around and noticed that most of the people who appeared were those who had attended the meeting and taken the mirrors.
Recalling how Li Wei's body had later turned into a mirror-like substance, he had figured out what had happened.
Once most of the people had arrived, Wen Wen, wearing a black robe with red runes on his face, calmly appeared before everyone.
Wen Wen stated directly, "You have all been working for the Foundation for some time and should know that the Foundation serves another organization. I am a member of that organization."
"To strengthen the connection between the organization and the Foundation, I discussed with President Feng and we jointly organized this test. The content of the test should be a bit hazy in your memories, which will prevent you from suffering any psychological trauma."
"The method of passing the test is simple: you only need to demonstrate the qualities expected of Foundation members during the process. However, some individuals have truly disappointed me."
Wen Wen snapped his fingers, and Andre and over a dozen other people vanished from the venue.
"During the test, these individuals, in order to satisfy their perverse desires, wantonly took innocent lives and trampled on their dignity. Their crimes are too numerous to list. The Foundation cannot employ such people."
"Even if they are released back into society, they will be a menace. Therefore, the Foundation will handle them accordingly."
Wen Wen did not intend to kill them. After all, this was just a simulation. However, these individuals would be dismissed and their backgrounds thoroughly investigated.
Those with serious issues would become jailers. The Foundation would send slightly less problematic ones to the police station, while those with the mildest issues would be lectured and sent home.
The disappearance of those few individuals made everyone present feel apprehensive. After all, they were all Foundation employees who had vanished after an inexplicable assessment, which naturally caused suspicion among them.
"The following gentlemen performed poorly in the test, exhibiting minor flaws such as cowardice, laziness, and indecisiveness…"
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses took off his glasses and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was extremely nervous now.
Wen Wen smiled slightly, "Don't worry. Although you have these various shortcomings, you did not abandon your bottom line in the end. The Foundation will not dismiss you, but will assign you different jobs…"
With another snap of his fingers, over forty people, including the man with the gold-rimmed glasses, disappeared into thin air.
How they would be assigned would be the responsibility of Zhao Hong Min.
As high-ranking officials of the Foundation, these individuals possessed a certain degree of capability. Therefore, Wen Wen did not intend to abandon them directly, but rather to assign them to tasks that did not involve direct contact with containment sites.
"For the following employees, I greatly admire your abilities, but your stress tolerance is insufficient. Under extreme circumstances, you lost control of your emotions and exhibited self-abandoning behavior."
"You will be transferred to President Feng's care and will undergo regular specialized training. I hope you can pass the training soon and contribute to the Foundation."
With another snap of his fingers, Luan Xing and the security captain, among others, disappeared.
Wen Wen did not intend to give up on these individuals, but using them directly might pose a potential threat. Therefore, Wen Wen planned to provide them with psychological training.
The so-called psychological training involved repeatedly simulating extreme situations within the Mirror Maze. Only when they could consistently pass these simulations would they be entrusted with important tasks.
If they failed to pass, they would be assigned to less critical departments in the future.
After seeing off the last group, Wen Wen removed the mask from his face, sat directly at a front table, and smiled sincerely at the remaining individuals.
Among these individuals were Li Wei and Geng Xing Shu.
"There are forty-three people remaining here, which is a few more than I expected. You are the true successful candidates of this test. Congratulations."
"You will be the pillars of the Foundation in the future, becoming the core force protecting humanity from monster incursions."
"The following information you hear is to be kept confidential and absolutely must not be revealed to outsiders. Our organization's name is—"
"The Disaster Containment Facility!"
…
After leaving the conference venue, Wen Wen stretched his slightly numb limbs.
The individuals who had passed the final assessment had signed contracts and become peripheral personnel of the Containment Facility. Wen Wen could confidently have them handle matters related to the Containment Facility.
Furthermore, after today's matters were concluded, Wen Wen would inform Yin Hu that the Foundation belonged to the Black Cross organization, and Feng Rui Xing would become the new representative of the Containment Facility to negotiate with the Hunter Association.
If the negotiations were successful, the Foundation would become an organization that could legally deal with monsters.
Wen Wen would then transfer some obedient monsters and some containment personnel not affiliated with the Hunter Association to Feng Rui Xing, allowing the Foundation's influence to expand significantly.
Afterward, Wen Wen summoned Jideluo and raised questions about the story mode, demanding timely rectification.
Wen Wen had personally experienced the complete story mode process this time and had gained many insights.
The most significant issue was the imbalance of power, both between monsters and humans, and among humans themselves.
The initial release of "food" should have been creatures like small wild boars, not brown bears right from the start. For the test involving ordinary people, the Sand Dune Great Earthworm as the final boss would have been sufficient; there was no need for monsters of the Curly-haired Orangutan level.
Additionally, the weapons provided to humans should also be strengthened. They should not only have handguns but also some high-powered weapons. Otherwise, Andre alone could suppress everyone else.
After briefing Jideluo, Wen Wen went to a separate room. Inside this room were three people, two men and one woman. All of them had entered the Mirror Space in their true forms; they were all spies sent by the Hunter Association.
Wen Wen planned to use a combination of coercion and enticement to make them members of the Foundation or the Containment Facility. At the very least, they should be made to sign a contract not to disclose information about the Containment Facility.
Wen Wen was already adept at threats. Before even employing half of his methods, the three of them capitulated.
However, members of the Hunter Association also had their beliefs. Only Xiao Hua among them became a containment personnel, as he recognized the philosophy of the Containment Facility.
The other two only agreed not to disclose information about the Containment Facility to the Hunter Association.
After dealing with all matters, Wen Wen, feeling refreshed, left the Containment Facility. He pushed open the restroom door, intending to find Feng Rui Xing and then go to some interesting places for amusement.
However, as he opened the door, he saw an exceptionally beautiful woman.
On her hair, she wore an exquisite hairpin shaped like a golden crescent moon.
She was the Moon Goddess!
