The Turning Gears Chapter Seventy-Four: The Madman and the Madman
"Little wolf cub, you eat slowly, be careful of choking. Ifrit sat at a long table filled with freshly prepared hot dishes, while the Knower sat in his seat devouring it. The Pilgrim's base is replenished with fresh ingredients and other supplies every month, and a secret teleportation circle is connected to a private warehouse hundreds of miles away, which is ostensibly for a mountaineering company's sponsored climbers, but most of the supplies will be teleported to this secret base through the teleportation spell in the warehouse, in order to ensure the secrecy and safety of the base, this circle can only be opened for 2 hours a month, and can be unilaterally and permanently closed from the pilgrim's base.
Operators stationed at the base are provided with fruit and a variety of meats throughout the year, as well as a limited number of beverages. The Knower doesn't have any permissions, and theoretically he doesn't have any food quotas in the base cafeteria. But IfritΓ© does, and each of the Eight Stars has an adequate share of food, regardless of whether they stay at ABP this month or not.
The Knowing One was so ugly that he squeezed a whole piece of hamburger and stuffed it into his mouth, like a refugee fleeing from outside the border into a pilgrim base.
But the other agents in the cafeteria looked silently at the dangerous man with bloodshot eyes, and looked at the True Knower with awe in their eyes.
"And no one is going to rob you, wolf cub, you're going to spoil your stomach like this. Ifrit's petite body crawled all over the table, her head tilted, her mask hanging over her chest.
"In prison, you can only eat a certain amount of food, and the taste of the paste is really flattering. The Knower picked up his fork and stirred up the pasta on a side plate, topped with red hot sauce.
"Who made you want to bet with the old man, I don't dare to make the old man angry every day like you, although the old man has no expression, but the old man is so terrible when he gets angry. Ifrit recalled, her tone like that of a granddaughter complaining about her grandfather's strange temper.
"Hmph, it's not much worse. By the way, help me get a new terminal, I don't know where it was thrown in a year. The True Knower commanded, and he ate a mouth full of hot sauce, and now he didn't know if the bloodshot in his eyes was not sleeping well, or if it was spicy.
"Wolf cub, you can really call people, I don't want to go, the warehouse is far away and difficult to turn, my height is not as high as those boxes, I won't go. Ifrit shook her head.
"Then give me yours, and then you can go and get another one. The Knower spread his hands over Ifrit.
Ifrit took out a small personal terminal from the pocket of her little skirt and handed it to the Knower, and the little Lori said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, hey, wolf cub, I haven't seen you for more than a year, come and play with me." β
The Knower took the watch, rolled the pasta with a fork with his right hand and put it in his mouth, and with the other he clicked on the screen of the terminal.
"Identity authentication successful, clearance level: unknown, welcome to the pilgrim terminal, Mr. Yu Mingkai. The task system is being connected for you, please wait. β
After the last bite of noodles, the Knower or the Celestial Ware wiped his mouth with a tissue, pushed the empty plate away from the dining table, and immediately an operator came over to collect the empty plate. The man patted his stomach with satisfaction, his eyes changed, and he began to look intently at the task report on the terminal.
"Na Na Na Na, little wolf cub ~ After the matter here is solved, come and see me, I have also encountered some difficulties here. Ifrit said coquettishly, and at the same time, the little Lori said to the operator of the closing house, asking the operator to bring a new terminal.
"I'll help you see what happened over there, the main thing now is that I have to look at the task at hand first. He slid his hand on the terminal, and the detailed mission report was already listed in front of him, and below the mission report was a thick list of names, all of which were pilgrim operators who had applied to participate in the mission and had gone to the designated location to standby.
"How's it, how is it?Do you need my help~ How about bringing me to this game?" said Ifrett excitedly, each mission was a new war game start for her, which made the girl excited.
"No, the old thing said that this time he was going to act in secret, but he didn't even send me an Obsidian operator, but asked me to choose from these attached S-class personnel, which proves that the pilgrims of this event can't come forward," Luo Mingkai looked at the terminal with a nonchalant expression, his bloodshot eyes staring at each name, and when he felt interested, he reached out and clicked, and the details of this operator would pop up for him to read.
"That's for sure, wolf cub, you're not a machine changer, now you're just one of the exceptional supernumerary personnel, and the low-level personnel don't know you except for the high-level personnel, you still want to compete with that stingy ghost of Obsidian for the command of your subordinates?" said Ifritt as such.
"Exceptional personnel, exceptional personnel, aren't they just indefinite in rank? My authority is far worse than those EX-level perverts. The old thing is just worried that I will subvert his rule, right?" he sneered as he looked at the terminal.
"This won't do, wolf cub, if you really do anything to harm the old man, I will definitely burn you to ashes. Ifrit said earnestly with a small face.
"Hmph, I don't need you to say that I know, in terms of pure force, I'm not outstanding, and now I still have a faint pain on my back that pervert. Luo Mingkai reached out and touched his back, and said with a gloomy face.
"Who told you to say anything One of the ways to defeat the old man is to kill the old man before he makes the layout and arrangement, you rushed out so recklessly, I didn't have time to tell you, Brother Fenglong was also there. Ifrit seemed to remember something happy. "But after that time, you dispelled the idea of attacking the old man, and sure enough, you will still learn to behave. β
Luo Mingkai's face became a little embarrassed, this matter seemed to be black history, and he said secretly: "Hmph, the old thing is worthy of being the first wise man in the world, and he actually knew this before I decided to attack him, and called the pervert of Fenglong in advance." β
"Does it still hurt?" Ifrit asked with concern as she looked at Ru Mingkai's face a little badly.
"He seems to have left some kind of very complicated seal on me, and I can't use any strength in my body now, I'm just an ordinary person, and at some point, my back hurts terribly. He said, his crazy eyes narrowing slightly, "Sooner or later, I'm going to make that pervert pay." β
Seeing the appearance of Yu Mingkai, Ifrit stretched out her hand and rubbed it vigorously on Luo Mingkai's face: "Okay, while I want to be smarter than the old man, I also want to be able to fight better than the big brother of the dragon, wolf cub, you are not a superman, do what you can do, if you choose the highest difficulty at the beginning of the game, it will be easy to doubt life." β
Luo Mingkai looked at the immature and innocent face in front of her, and the scar that crossed her face was really shocking.
"Did you find that person?" asked Ru Mingkai, reaching out and touching the scar on Ifrit's face, and every time he saw it, he wondered what kind of person had done such an inhumanizing act.
"No, I haven't been able to find him since then, not even the pilgrims' eyeliner to find any trace of him. Ifrit allowed Ru Hell's hand to caress his face, and if it had been someone else, it would have been cut off and hung on the wall.
"Not surprisingly, pilgrims are not omnipotent, as long as they want to hide, it is very easy to open the eyes and ears of pilgrims. "I promise you, if I find that person, I will avenge you." β
Ifrit said happily: "Haha, the wolf cub is really the best for me, and the person is also very interesting, completely different from other serious adults, is this kind of behavior considered to be a substitute for fighting?"
Luo Mingkai looked at the innocent little girl in front of him, and he smiled: "That's definitely it, but we are good friends, and friends should stand up for their friends." β
Ifrett obediently crawled from the table to the hand of the young man, and placed his head under his, while the young girl touched the head.
"Eh, by the way, wolf cub, seeing that you came out this time, your spirit seems to be much better, what have you achieved in the room again?" Ifrit looked at the spirit of Yu Mingkai, this wolf cub always likes to tinker with things by himself.
"Well, it's this. With a flip of his wrist, he didn't know where he had taken out a strange ring, and he didn't know where he had been hiding the watch just now. 591 net
"I figured out how this thing starts, but it's a bit weird to run. Now it's a bit strange when I'm using it. Seeing that Ifrit wanted to reach out and touch the ring, he quickly closed his palms and separated the ring from Ifrit.
"Wolf cub, slam the door! I won't even show it, such a powerful toy. Ifrit pursed her lips and tilted her head to try to see what the ring looked like through the palm of her hand.
"No, little madman, this thing can't be touched by anyone other than me. It's for the sake of your life. With his other hand, he touched Ifrit's head, and when his hand holding the ring opened again, it was gone.
While the two were talking in the cafeteria, Galahad was in his office, and a huge screen was lit up in front of him, and the screen was showing the scene in the cafeteria, and he could see every movement of Luo Mingkai clearly. When the ring appeared, he was connected to a secret communication channel.
"The Knower has parsed what you have left behind. Galahad said that he didn't have any communication equipment with him, but that the floor and walls of this office were hidden with all kinds of machinery, and even without amplification, he could still send his voice to the other end of the communication signal.
"It's only been a year, don't talk about that lone wolf, if you were the same age as him, he would really be your rival. But you'd better remind him that even if he cracks that thing, it's just a trial work, and it will take a lot of load on his body, and you don't want him to die so quickly. Fenglong said on the other end of the communication channel.
"Hmm. Instead of denying the Dragon's claims, Galahad asked, "How's your weapon repair?" β
"How can the spirit knife be so easy to repair, you should be a mass product on your assembly line? 20 in an afternoon? I only reshape the shape of the Vermilion Bird, and then I have to reshape the Spirit of the Vermilion Bird, which is a very time-consuming thing. Fenglong said scoldingly.
"You can also choose not to fix it. You just don't want to show up during this time. Why?" asked Galahad, the masked man puzzled.
"How can you tarnish my innocence out of thin air, I said I can't leave, then I must not be able to leave, whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believe it myself. Fenglong said scoundrelly, this is obviously the so-called nonsense.
"Well, I've already sent my men, and your apprentice shouldn't be fine. Galahad didn't delve into this kind of issue either, he just said lightly.
"That's good, thank you for being paralyzed, no, these are trivial things. Fenglong laughed.
"Now that we need to focus our energies on the Holy See, and now that the arrangements are in place, when do you think those people will find out?" asked Galahad.
Fenglong's voice became cheerful: "They'll probably find out when they count Niforheim next month, right? Whatever the anomaly is, it will be discovered at that time. β
"Hmm. Galahad received an answer from the dragon, and he unilaterally cut off the communication, and after a moment of thought, he turned on a direct broadcast to the Celestial Changing Division.
And at this moment, in the canteen of the Pilgrim's headquarters, Yu Mingkai and Ifrit did not know all this, and the two good friends who were called madmen were making their final goodbyes.
"So, little wolf cub, take care of your body, don't be so desperate about everything, properly combine work and rest, I have asked someone to buy you a game console, play games when you work~" Ifrit climbed down from the table, her petite body struggling to straighten her flat chest, "I'll give you my treasured cassette as well." β
"Alas, is it another tank battle...... That game is almost older than your parents. Apparently familiar with Ifrit's temper, he gratefully said, "I see, I'll play this game well." β
As he spoke, he had already risen from his seat, and two Pilgrim Operators with serious expressions had already walked towards him, and judging from the unsmiling expressions of these two Operators, these two Operators were already on a mission.
"Alright, you two lead the way. Luo Mingkai naturally knew that these two people were here to pick him up, and he opened his bloodshot eyes, full of arrogance and banter.
The two operators nodded, and they led Yu Mingkai in front of them, walking towards the outside of the cafeteria.
Ifrit tilted her head to watch as she left, and she smiled, her mask snapped back into her face.
At the same time, in the meeting room of a company in London, England, a dozen or so people dressed in different clothes are gathering in the same hall, all looking intently at their mobile phones or tablet computers. At this time, the equipment in their hands made a ding-dong sound at the same time, and then the expressions of everyone in the conference room became very exciting.
Most of them sighed heavily as they glanced at the screen, while five cheered with joy. It's like a job fair, where the five people are offered and the rest are brushed off.
But the crowd of people, who were dressed and even disparity in status in reality, politely shook hands with each other and congratulated the five chosen ones, and the tide receded, leaving only these five people in the hall.
I don't know how long it took, and these five people didn't know how long they played on their phones, but these five people didn't have a look of impatience, on the contrary, they kept discussing something with each other. They sat in this conference room until the sky was dark, and during this time, except for going to the toilet, this group of people chose to stay in the conference room obediently.
"I don't know what kind of people the command staff is this time. One of the five girls, dressed in fashionable fashion, was the first to say that this was the first time they had discussed the mission.
"Young people are always breathless, but since they can command five S-level ability rated operators at once, this commander's level will definitely not be lower than S-level. An old man wearing a Niko coat and a cotton hat said.
Although the old man had gray hair, he was full of energy, his face was ruddy under the wrinkles, and his voice was full of energy.
"Could it be eight stars?" said the girl with a look of anticipation, she had made a lot of commissions among the pilgrims in the past few years, and her original B-level ability rating had been raised all the way to the S-level, but even so, she had never participated in this kind of commission issued directly by Galahad, and she had never had the opportunity to meet the legendary eight-star.
"This is not necessarily, we are S-level ratings, there are no more than 80 people in the entire pilgrim who have our ratings, but the eight stars have their own departments in their hands, and they generally do not intersect with those of us who are affiliated with us. The old man took off his hat and put it on the table, this long wait was still too torturous for an old man, his physical strength was no longer as good as that of a young man.
When the girl heard this, she also nodded, and she also took off the white headphones she was wearing in her ears, and the faint sound of rock music came from the headphones.
The door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked straight to the front of the conference room. The five of them turned their gazes to the figure at the same time, and then the old man's face changed slightly, but the girl looked at the young man who walked in with interest.
"I won't say any more nonsense, everyone is ready to go. He walked into the conference room and swept the five people in the conference room with his eyes, indeed the five people he had chosen, so he didn't say any more nonsense, he threw a file bag on the conference table. "I'll give you three minutes to read all the mission information, destroy all the materials after three minutes, and assemble at the door. β
Then he looked at the stunned expressions on the faces of the five people, he smiled coldly, and walked out of the conference room despite the reactions of the five people. As he closed the door to the conference room, he heard the sound of his hands scrambling to unseal the papers.
