Pushing open the door, Captain Xing was standing outside the door, and Yu Xiaoxiao was standing behind him with her hands behind her back, leaning out to look into the house.

Captain Xing tilted his head to the side, "Let's go, call that kid from Lu Li, let's go out to eat!"

Lao Xing took the three of us to a Chinese restaurant, as soon as the four of us entered the room, they found an empty table and sat down, Lao Xing ordered food, and I looked around at the layout of the restaurant, which felt no different from those restaurants in our hometown, a bar, a few tables, nothing else, very simple, but it gave me a sense of familiarity.

After a while, the dish was served, and I looked down to see that there was shredded fish-flavored pork, hairy blood, shredded potatoes with green peppers, and a cucumber. I almost laughed out loud when I looked at these dishes. If it weren't for a few foreigners sitting in the store, I would have thought I was back in my hometown in Dongshan.

I was happily eating with a bowl of rice, when I suddenly noticed that there were five guests at the table I was facing at some point, led by a man in his forties, with four young men in their twenties, two men and two women, all of whom also had Oriental faces.

What caught my attention was the uncle in the lead, he had been looking at Lao Xing's back intentionally or unintentionally from entering the room to sitting down, with some doubts in his eyes, as if he knew Lao Xing, but because he didn't see his face, he didn't dare to confirm it.

I watched Lao Xing swallow a large piece of luncheon meat, leaned forward, and whispered to him, "Captain Xing, there is a big brother about the same age as you behind you who has been watching you, could it be an acquaintance?"

Lao Xing was holding chopsticks to look for meat in the basin, and when he heard this, he turned his head to look behind him, and I saw that his body was obviously paused.

The eldest brother on the opposite side saw Lao Xing's face, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up suddenly, startling the four people at his table.

"Xing Yuanshan, Lao Tzu has finally found you again!"

Lao Xing put the chopsticks on the table with a snap, and stood up with a hula, shouting at the top of his voice, "You are a dead surname, don't you speak quietly! Why are you shouting so loudly!

As soon as I heard this, I almost squirted out the rice in my mouth, I was born with a loud voice, and I thought that others were talking loudly, this Lao Xing is really no one.

The guests at the surrounding tables all looked at the two big men with amazed eyes, not knowing what they were going to do.

The man surnamed Gao on the opposite side pulled open the table and walked over to us, Lao Xing also greeted us, and just when we all thought they were going to fight, these two people actually reached out at the same time to shake it, bumped it on the shoulder, and then laughed.

I held my forehead a little helplessly, and Yu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on my left hand, stuck out her tongue, pretending to be very disgusted, and complained, "Do the older generations have to go through such a set of procedures when they meet?"

I shook my head speechlessly, but Lu Li still had a sarcastic smile on his face and continued to eat the rice in the bowl.

"Come, let me introduce to you, this is my old comrade-in-arms Gao Fei, who fought the S-level mission with me and our President Zhang back then, and he is a ruthless person!"

A few of us put down our chopsticks and stood up to say hello to the big brother Goofy, who laughed and called the four newcomers he brought with him to get to know us.

"This Lao Gao is now mainly active in the Bashu region, and belongs to the veteran guardian group Qingzhu Group, and is a very powerful guardian. ”

Gao Fei raised his hand and interrupted Captain Xing's words, "Don't hold me, if you hadn't saved me back then, how would I have survived until now." It's been so many years, and you don't give me a chance to repay you, and you've been avoiding me, what, do you want me to just owe you this favor?"

Lao Xing laughed, "Are you still worried about that? I was just a handy thing at the time, it's not a big deal!"

Listening to these two old guys chattering and talking, a few of us newcomers had to laugh and listen together, and we couldn't eat. The three of us here are fine, after all, we just ate some, and the four on the other side are about to die, after all, we just came in and had time to eat. One of the two girls was so hungry that she was rickety, and the other girl was holding her, also shaky.

A man couldn't stand it anymore, and reached out and pulled Gao Fei's clothes, "Teacher Gao, we're starving to death, let's eat first, and then we'll talk about it after eating." ”

Gao Fei was slightly stunned, then laughed, and glanced at Captain Xing with some embarrassment, "Okay, let's eat first, and then talk later!"

After eating, Captain Xing arranged for us to go back to the hotel first, and he and Lao Gao were going to get together. The three of us went back to the hotel together, Yu Xiaoxiao went back to rest, and Lu Li and I also went back to our rooms.

There was nothing to say all night, early the next morning, we came to the door of the inn as agreed before, Lao Xing and Zhao Yifeng were already waiting there, Lao Xing stared at a pair of dark circles, it seems that I had a good time last night. . .

A group of seven of us drove towards the west of the city, and on the way, Lao Xing briefly explained to us today's itinerary.

"The place we are going to in a while is the rookie training ground on this island, where you first have to learn the rules and regulations of the Guardian Alliance, and then I will lead you to a rookie combat exercise, which will take about three days. Once you've reached the drill level, you'll be officially promoted to D-Class Guardians. ”

The car stopped under the westernmost wall of the city, and I noticed that the whole city seemed to be surrounded by a tall wall more than 20 meters high in the west and north, while the east and south were directly subsided, enclosing a whole beach village.

We got out of the car and came to a checkpoint under the fence, and after showing the ID we got yesterday, we walked in and after passing through an aisle, an elevator appeared at the end.

After taking the elevator up for a while, the elevator door opened, and the scene that appeared in front of us suddenly opened up, it turned out to be a lush meadow, with forests and rolling mountains in the distance, and a snow-capped mountain and a volcano in the distance, like two ancient enemies, a confrontation is eternal.

Captain Xing was the first to step out of the elevator, turned around and said to us with open arms, "Students, welcome to the rookie training ground!"

We walked out of the elevator, I looked back, and found that there was also a grassland behind me, and the elevator just now had disappeared, and even the city we came to was gone.

Just as I was wondering, a small hand suddenly reached out of the air and pushed me, pushing me backwards and almost falling. Immediately afterwards, Yu Xiaoxiao walked out of the air, complaining about this, "Wu Zheng, don't you hurry forward, look back!"

Somewhat speechless, I gestured in the direction she had come, motioning for her to look back. As soon as Yu Xiaoxiao turned around, she was also stunned for a moment, "Wow~~~ What's going on?" As she spoke, she reached out and touched it in front of her, and then she heard a voice in the air say, "Hey! What are you doing!" Then Lu Li's iceberg face, which had not changed for thousands of years, poked out of the air.

Yu Xiaoxiao screamed "ah~" and jumped to the side, seeing that she almost fell, I quickly helped her.

Lao Xing waited for a long time with his arms open, and found that no one paid attention to him, so he had to put down his hand and said helplessly, "Hey, can you guys respect me as the captain, is it so difficult for me to create a magnificent atmosphere?"

I looked back in the direction I came, and after waiting for a while, I didn't find the people from the Shiyi Group coming out, so I couldn't help but be a little curious, "Captain Xing, why didn't Brother Zhao and the people from the Shiyi Group come out?"

Lao Xing touched his head and explained to me: "This is not a space in the ordinary sense, strictly speaking, this island itself is a special phenomenon. When it is first discovered, people will find that the two people who are on the island at the same time can't see each other. After investigating and experimenting, the Guardians eventually discovered a way to control this phenomenon. Then he pulled out his ID card, "This thing is the key, and the chip in it will be injected with a string of codes when we enter the door, and people with the same serial number can see each other." ”

Lao Xing waved his hand, motioned for us to talk as we walked, and led us towards the forest in the distance.

"You have all seen the logo on the back of this identification card, this is the logo of the Guardian Alliance, three overlapping hands representing people of different colors, everyone is united to maintain peace and stability in the human world.

As a general requirement, I need to tell you some basic knowledge, first of all, what we often call peculiar phenomena - in the development of human history, at any stage, there are many mysterious phenomena that cannot be explained. In the early days, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, volcanic earthquakes, droughts and tsunamis were all known as ghosts and spirits, and religion became popular, and people rushed to convert for salvation. And human society has come to this day, science and technology are prosperous, but there are still many mysterious things that cannot be explained. Some of these things are friendly, some are indifferent to human beings, and more are extremely harmful to human beings. All of these things that cannot be explained at the moment are collectively called "peculiar phenomena". Xiaoxiao and Lu Li should not have been in contact yet, although Wu Zheng has been in contact with some, but basically they still belong to the category that is not very harmful, so these things must not be taken lightly, especially when encountering a special phenomenon that has never been contacted, it is even more cautious and not rash to attack. Because some peculiar phenomena are not aggressive under normal circumstances, but once you provoke it, the consequences are likely to be unimaginable, I believe that Wu Zheng has a deep understanding of this. ”

I nodded approvingly. When I think about that day, I feel a smell lingering in me.

"Then there are the Guardians, and in the process of coming into contact with anomalous phenomena, some of which are believed to be beneficial to humans. According to observations and research, some people have gradually discovered that some special phenomena can be used by humans - in the hands of humans, they can be turned into powerful weapons to defend against those special phenomena that threaten humans. And the human beings who use these "beneficial" peculiar phenomena are called "guardians", that is, us. ”

The three of us couldn't help but be a little stunned when we heard this, and Yu Xiaoxiao preemptively asked, "Then you mean that the imaging bracelet and even the surreal engine we use are actually special phenomena?"

Captain Xing replied as he continued to walk forward with us, "That's right, when the surreal engine was first discovered, it was regarded as some kind of self-aware electronic creature, and it was very aggressive, and it wasn't until more than ten years ago that we stumbled upon its function, and this is why our imaging team was born." ”
