Chapter XVIII: The Final Test

Hmmm, after what happened yesterday, I'm a little suspicious now. This girl is in such a hurry to leave, could it be that she is hiding something from me?

I looked at the door of the general manager's office with some suspicion, this door was glass, and there were blinds hanging inside, so I couldn't observe the situation inside. I put my face on the door and looked in, but I still couldn't see anything. After hesitating for a while, I coughed twice to embolden myself, and raised my hand to knock on the door.

"Brother Wu!"

~~~~~~~~~~

A voice like a bell sounded behind me, which frightened me for a moment, and when I looked back, I found that the person who called me was the eldest brother named Xing Yuanshan last night.

Brother Xing couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw that I looked like a bear who was about to pee my pants, and came over to pat me on the shoulder and asked, "What's the matter, little brother, what are you doing to be scared like this." ”

I said in my heart that with your voice, if I really did something wrong, I would die on the spot.

I smiled and explained, "It's okay, Brother Xing, I came to report today, I don't know if Mr. Zhang is inside." ”

"That's right. Xing Yuanshan nodded, stretched out his hand to push open the door of the general manager's office, and shouted inside, "Liangyu!

Mr. Zhang's voice came from inside, "I heard it, don't shout so loudly!"

I looked at it, there was a coffee table and a few sofas in the office, and there was a very ordinary desk by the window in the room.

I nodded to Xing Yuanshan, and he patted me on the shoulder again, turned around and walked away.

Mr. Zhang walked around the desk and walked to me, looked me up and down, and showed a little surprise in his eyes, "Wu Zheng, it's not easy, it's only been a short night, and your mental outlook has changed a lot! What happened last night shocked you a lot." ”

I smiled wryly and nodded, it was indeed quite shocking, I had never seen a man's arm bend into that shape before, nor had I seen a real paladin, let alone a charioteer or anything like that.

Mr. Zhang smiled when he saw this, and comforted me, "Don't feel any psychological pressure, there will be more such things in the future, you have to adapt slowly." ”

I nodded and didn't speak, Director Zhang, I didn't really want to talk about it, and I didn't bother anymore, turned around and opened a drawer inside the table and fiddled with it for a while. Just as I thought he was going to pull something out of the drawer, a wall on my left suddenly parted to reveal a small room inside.

"This isβ€”" I looked at Mr. Zhang with some confusion, only to see him close the drawer and lead the way into the secret door, and I didn't hesitate at the moment, and walked in behind him.

The secret door slowly closed behind us, and I realized that the so-called small room was actually an elevator.

No one pressed any buttons, and after four or five seconds, the elevator suddenly and slowly began to descend. At this time, Mr. Zhang opened his mouth and said to me,

"Wu Zheng, the first thing I want to explain to you is that what you will face next is your last test. This test is not difficult or dangerous, but it requires a little luck. If you pass the test, you will officially become a member of us, and if you don't pass, sorry, you will have to choose to join the recycling group, or have your memory erased. ”

I looked at Mr. Zhang with some surprise, but Mr. Zhang ignored me and continued.

"The place we are going to is the heart of the imaging team, and without it, the imaging team would not exist. So be sure to keep it a secret, and don't mention it to anyone who isn't affiliated with the imaging team, and I'm sure you can do it.

Underneath the elevator, there is a huge room with a supercomputer known as the Surreal Engine. And on a table near it, there are always three electronic watches. I'm sure you've guessed it, it's the imaging bracelet that everyone in our imaging team has.

The Imaging Bracelet can be taken by the right person - the right person is determined by the Surreal Engine, who will judge whether the person who comes to pick up the bracelet is a qualified person.

All you have to do in a moment is walk up to the table where the bracelet is placed, don't think about anything, pick up a bracelet based on your first feeling, and bring it out. If you find that you can't pick up the bracelet, it means that you haven't been selected by the engine, so quickly quit and we'll talk about the rest of the story.

Got it?"

I felt the seriousness in Mr. Zhang's words and nodded solemnly.

Standing in the elevator, I couldn't feel the speed of the elevator, but I knew that about five minutes had passed, and there was a faint feeling of being depressed, and it seemed that we had descended to a very deep position.

There was a feeling of overweight, the elevator began to slow down, and with a metallic thud, we finally stopped descending.

The elevator door slowly opened, Mr. Zhang pushed me behind me, I didn't stand firm, staggered into the room behind the door, and when I looked up, I was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of me.

In front of me is a room of about 60 square meters, about five meters high, the room is messily piled up with all kinds of colorful cables of different thicknesses, some are as thick as an ordinary earphone cable, and some are enough for one person to hug, they are densely intertwined and entangled, and there are no less than 10,000 cables at a glance.

And all the cables are coming out of an instrument in the middle of the house. The instrument is about five meters high and two meters wide, and is funnel-shaped with two thick ends and thin middles. The top end is inserted into the ceiling, and the low end is placed on the floor, and I don't know if it also penetrates the floor.

At the height of one person, there is an old-fashioned display that emits light that is the only light source in the entire room. Lines and lines of green code are scrolling across the screen, and it looks like some kind of mysterious operation is being performed, or more like someone is constantly typing meaningless gibberish into the computer.

In front of the monitor, there is a wooden desk that looks like that used by primary school students, and on the table, as Mr. Zhang said, there are three imaging bracelets with different shapes.

The three bracelets are all black, the one on the far left is the most earthy kind of electronic watch I ever saw when I was a child, a pure plastic shell, the kind with no decoration at all; the electronic watch in the middle is very small, the strap is slender, it looks like the kind that a girl wears, and I ignored it; when I looked at the last one, my eyes lit up, this electronic watch is so familiar to me, because it is the kind I wore when I was a child- The screen is huge, the whole strap is made of rubber, and I even remember the feeling of heaviness on my wrist and the excitement in my heart when I first wore that electronic watch.

I copied the watch and put it on my hand without even thinking about it.

"Don't!" I heard Mr. Zhang shouting behind me, I looked back with some confusion, and then suddenly remembered Mr. Zhang's instructions, what he said was "choose a bracelet to pick up, and then take it out", but he didn't let me wear it!

But by the time I realized that it was too late, and just as I was about to undo the bracelet, the strap on my hand suddenly tightened and wrapped its grip on my wrist as if it were alive. At the same time, the cables all over the room seemed to come to life, like a bunch of giant earthworms writhing around me, and a few small ones were already wrapped around my ankles.

I fucked a DJ, what the hell is going on? I was about to open my mouth to shout "Mr. Zhang save me!" but I saw that the door of the room had been tightly blocked by cables, and Mr. Zhang was also locked outside and disappeared.

I struggled to break free from the cables, but they became tighter and tighter like snakes, and then I felt something slender and pierce the back of my neck like a steel needle, and I didn't know anything as soon as my eyes went dark.

When I woke up, I found myself lying on the sofa in the general manager's office, surrounded by a large circle of people, everyone looked at me with a surprised look, seeing that I was awake, Wang Xiaoyu exclaimed excitedly, "Wake up, wake up!

Zhang Liangyu pushed aside the crowd and walked to me, leaned down and looked at me with concern, "How is Wu Zheng, do you feel anything abnormal in your body?"

I sat up with a dazed expression, stabilized my mind a little, felt the thirst in my mouth the most, and said, "Water, I want to drink water." ”

"Hurry up, get water!"

"I'll go, I'll go!"

A few diligent people scrambled to pour a glass of water and handed it to me, I took it and drank a large glass after a few sips, "Trouble again... Give me another drink. ”

After drinking three cups in one go, the feeling of thirst gradually subsided, I stared at Mr. Zhang in a daze, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Zhang, what happened?"

Mr. Zhang's eyes seemed to become a little dim all of a sudden, and he sighed a little disappointed and said, "It turns out that you don't know what happened." After you entered the room, you didn't listen to my instructions and put the bracelet on your hand. According to past observations, this behavior triggers some sort of attack from the Surreal Engine. You're tangled in a bunch of cables, and they're blocking you so you can't get in. But what I didn't expect was that in less than a minute, those cables let go of you and returned to their original positions. I rushed in and carried you out. I thought you'd know what was going on, but I was overly optimistic. ”

After listening to Mr. Zhang, I raised my hand and gently touched the back of my head, where the needle was pierced, and it was still a little swollen and painful. After a little muttering, I spoke, "I don't know the specifics, but I felt something prick the back of my head, and then my eyes went black, and I didn't know anything." ”

Mr. Zhang hurriedly walked to my side, stretched his neck to look at the back of my head, and said with some confusion, "It's indeed a little red and swollen, could it be that the engine has done something to your body?

I shook my head and stood up, stretched my body, and only heard the rattling of the bones, and I couldn't say how happy I was, "Except for a little pain in the back of my head, there is nothing abnormal in other places, the same as before." ”

Wang Xiaoyu on the side suddenly walked up to me, stretched out his hand and gestured with me, and said in surprise, "Wu Zheng, you have grown taller!"

I couldn't help but be a little surprised, and carefully compared the gap with Wang Xiaoyu, this girl was about the size of my nose before, but now she can only barely reach my mouth.

"It's all said twenty-three, one run, twenty-five, one drum. Am I drumming up today?" I said to the crowd with some jokingness.

Everyone smiled, and they all turned around and went back to their own business, Mr. Zhang seemed to be a little uninterested, waved his hand at me and said, "Let's get here first for today's business, it seems that you have also suffered a lot of fright, go back and rest for a few days first." Your situation is special, if you feel that there is something abnormal, don't forget to contact me. ”

I nodded to Mr. Zhang to indicate that I understood, said hello to Wang Xiaoyu and left the company.
