Upon hearing this, the expressions of the few men froze once again.
It was the same thing! Again! Every time those who had finished the test left the lab, they were all smiles, looking as if nothing had happened. And whenever those who hadn't yet been tested asked about it, their answers were uncannily consistent—everyone insisted in unison that it was fine inside, that it was easy! Had they not heard the various screams emanating from the room from time to time, they might have actually believed it.
Seeing the bewildered expressions on their faces, those who had completed the test couldn't help but chuckle to themselves. It wasn't that they lacked camaraderie or were deliberately tricking their comrades into the lab to participate in data collection. But after all, which one of them hadn't walked into that lab with a smile, only to undergo all sorts of "painful" procedures? Once they came out, they simply had to brag a bit to their comrades! Besides, if any one of them were to get scared and desert their post, missing out on the "electric shock package," the others would truly be saddened. Of course, most importantly, they didn't want their comrades to carry the stigma of a deserter. Yes, that was exactly it.
