I used to hear my classmates mention some social news during class, talking about some middle-aged people who have failed in life, persuading minors to join illegal organizations, first giving some sweetness and grasping the handle, and then defrauding the "membership fee" step by step. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The beginning of info is much the same, do you crave wealth, do you crave women, do you crave power, do you crave status. While most people crave these things throughout their lives, minors are particularly easy to deceive. Now, I feel that sitting across from this suspicious middle-aged man seems to be playing the role of the seduced person, but I don't particularly crave those things, and naturally I can't find a reason to join the inexplicable organization. I instinctively wanted to avoid the new term "detection group" he mentioned, but the man on the other side introduced it unconsciously.

"As for the detection team, in the words of official propaganda, it is an organization to save the earth. Originally, the Puma people had a hard requirement for the immigrants in the sub-gaps, that is, everyone should return to the earth every three days to find 'clues' to restore the earth, such as why these aliens suddenly appeared on the earth, what behavioral characteristics they have, how they should be expelled, what kind of impact has been on the earth's ecology, etc. We called this behavior 'Guicha', and then because of this incident, there was no gain, and no one supervised it, and over time, everyone gradually stopped playing. ”

"Humans here are really scattered."

"Not really. The detection team is an organization run by a group of people who still insist on 'returning to the inspection'. ”

"Ideological consciousness is so high?" It's not that I'm judging people by their looks, but the person in front of me is a little more real if he says he's a pimp.

"By the way, I'm one of the founders of the detection team." Ji 87 pointed proudly at himself with his thumb.

If I had a second thinking that the image of this organization was glorious, now that feeling has completely disintegrated.

"After all, there are many beauties in the gap, but there are more girls on the earth waiting for me to save. I can't give up an entire ocean for a lake. ”

"Oh." I continued to fiddle with the plate of roast with my head down, trying to cut it into equal portions.

In fact, the return has little impact on daily life, because an extra hour on Earth is only equivalent to 10 minutes in the inter-subgap. But finding a 'clue' is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and we can't do anything when we go back to Earth without knowing anything about what is happening on Earth. However, the Poma people provided very complete equipment, so the risk of the work of the exploration team was very low, and the expedition was like a hunting or outing for us, and anyone could participate. ”

"If you say that, isn't it an entertainment project?"

"For the members of the random group, it's entertainment. Oh, I forgot to mention, now the entire detection group is divided into a fixed group and a random group, and the fixed group will have a fixed frequency of action, and the members will not be absent casually. The random group is used to satisfy those who simply come to pass the time for fun. There are also outliers, for example, the fifth team was originally a member of the random group, but later because there were too many sorties and the frequency of attendance was relatively fixed, they were divided into a relatively stable 'random team'. By the way, your mom is also a member of Team 5. ”

"You said Ning 08?" It was surprising that she would join such an organization, but it made sense.

"Eh, don't you just call her mom? Oh, but it might be a little strange to call mom to such a young girl, and I would find it strange even if I watched it as a bystander. ”

"Hmm...... Well. I vaguely agreed.

"Do you know who your dad is?"

"I don't know yet."

"You don't know?"

"Because I got divorced very early."

"Ah, that's a pity, everyone is curious about what kind of person your father will be."

"Me too...... Do you have any clues about her preference for the opposite sex? ”

"It's a shame that so far I've never seen her show any interest in a man in the gap, although she does discuss someone's appearance with girls, but the overall impression is lacking in enthusiasm."

"Because there's no type she likes here?"

"I think it's because the mental cleanliness is too serious. In the inter-Asian space, money is meaningless, where wealth is no longer the standard for measuring personal success, and the remaining factors that determine whether a man gets a woman or not are nothing more than appearance, figure, and character. And the selected human beings in the sub-gap, although they have different personalities, but their figures, appearances, and brains are all superior to ordinary people, plus over time, in this environment without traditional moral constraints, men and women are easy to get involved, plus everyone lives very empty, and they don't have to be responsible for each other, almost everyone has multiple partners. Many of them have stable lovers when they are on Earth, but they are not excluded from finding a few more temporary dispatch loneliness in the sub-gap. And Ning 08, a little girl who has never been in love, is prone to have high expectations for love, will dislike this kind of fast-food love is too casual, and has a lot of caution when interacting with people, I have never seen her eat alone with any man. Oh yes, one more point, but ......" he suddenly made a gesture of wanting to say something.

"How?"

"Although she said that she likes men, I always feel that she is more interested in women, she is very masculine in her own hobbies, and she looks at women in the same way as men. I don't know how many people have sighed, although her appearance is very confusing, but when she touches it, it looks like a man reincarnated into a woman's body, I may not be happy when I say this, but I think you should seriously consider the possibility that your parents are married. ”

"Probably not." I denied it, but I couldn't help but think of Sister Ceci's face in my mind.

"Hey, I'm just providing an idea, don't take it too seriously. By the way, if you find it difficult to adapt to the environment, you can find a few girlfriends like me to pass the time, at present, I have made eighty-three girlfriends in the Asian gap, I am a person, very single-minded, only one girlfriend at a time, each of them has been seriously along. He bared a row of teeth at me again.

"I don't have that interest."

There's no such thing as idleness.

"Don't say it so absolutely, at your age, it should be the time when the demand in this area is relatively strong! Maybe you're late.,Or just arrived in this strange place and haven't gotten used to it.,Anyway, if you have any troubles in this area, please feel free to come to me.,If you're on Earth,,I might publish a book about pickling girls.,Unfortunately,There's really no use here.。 ”

"Then you should continue to tell me about the detection team." As much as I don't want to hear it, since my mother is there, and ostensibly the only way for me to return to Earth to investigate, I'm afraid it's inevitable to join.

"Oh, okay, okay, let's go on, go on."

I saw him deliberately raise his hands, slowly push his hair back from the sides, sniff deeply, and then begin to clear his throat as if he were going to make a false statement, and when I thought he was going to start making some lofty statements, he pulled out a white pamphlet from the pocket of his coat.

"Let's take a look at this first."

Instead of choosing to transfer electronic documents via chip, he gave me a physical booklet, much to my surprise. The booklet looks very thick, and on the cover is written a few words with a brush "Introductory Manual for Subcretal Detection Group".

"You wrote this?"

"No, no, no, it was written by Fa 01."

"Law 01?"

While this question was popping up in my head, a picture of a woman appeared in the upper left of my field of vision. She was a short-haired woman with a stern and a touch of femininity, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and wore a pair of pointed glasses.

She was the vice-captain of the fifth squad, and the contents of the booklet were written by the members of the fifth squad, but the handwriting was done by her, because writing with a pen was her hobby. If you want to join the detection team, read this booklet first, there is not much content, I will wait for you. ”

I opened the booklet, and although it had many pages, it had very few words:

"Detection Team 05 Beginner's Manual

1. The preamble is written at the front

2. Responsibilities for joining the team

3. Team division

4. Instructions for the use of sleeping pods and weapons

5. Safety Instructions and Rules

Sixth, the team's experience"

The next first page is the "Leader List", which reads "Founder and General Team Leader LL9, Deputy Team Leader Xiao 339, Deputy Team Leader Ji 87." ”

turned out to be an official.

"The detection group is an unofficial organization directly under the first squad, with three initial members, and then expanded with the personnel, and now has 70 fixed members, divided into 5 fixed squads, and a number of random squads composed of random members, although the scale of the organization has expanded, but the name of "probe group" is still used.

Joining a search team and conducting homing activities has nothing to do with saving the planet and becoming a hero, and most of the time the content of the search team is quite boring, so be sure to be prepared.

Action Flow:

The activities of the detection group are mainly composed of three parts: preparation meeting, return inspection, and summary meeting. The content of the preparatory meeting is mainly the meeting where the team leader assigns the place and task to be inspected. The summary meeting will only be held when meaningful clues are found and worthy of summary and discussion, and it is not mandatory.

Duty:

Captain: The captain of the detection team is mainly responsible for formulating the inspection plan, which is generally elected within the team with a relatively fixed composition, and the team with large internal mobility does not have a captain.

Deputy team leader: Responsible for notifying and coordinating the number of people participating in the inspection activities, summarizing the investigation data uploaded by the team members afterwards, and deciding whether to hold a summary meeting according to the size of the results after sorting out the data.

Team Members: Participate in the Expedition Project, investigating the ecology of alien organisms in the area, environmental damage, human survival possibility, human survival traces, renewability of environmental damage, building integrity, etc.

Note: All members of the group can decide whether or not to participate in this investigation before entering the sleeping pod.

Expedition plan: Expedition plan is to formulate the area, strategy, and goal when going to the earth for inspection. The team leader is required to transmit to each team member at the preparatory meeting a map clearly marking the area of activity and the coordinates of the destination of the first login, and inform each team member of the situation. The situation of the area includes the alien creatures that occupy the area, the alien creatures that are mobile, the danger level of these alien creatures, the ecology, habits, the goals of this operation, etc., and finally the division of labor of the team members who are designated to participate in this investigation. If each team member has the intention of making an inspection plan independently, he can directly search for "making an inspection plan" in the chip brain, download the customized template and tutorial, and this manual will not be repeated.

The specific details of the inspection plan must be discussed at the preparatory meeting, and those who disagree can raise it directly, and the final vote will determine the result.

Investigation duration: at the discretion of the team leader (subject to the rules of earth timing), it is necessary to inform in advance at the preparatory meeting, if the search time needs to be increased during the return process, the team members can choose to participate in the extended search or not, if the search is temporarily suspended due to an emergency, the team members can also apply to continue the search task alone, and all the consequences will be borne by themselves.

Task execution mode: the whole team enters the sleeping pod, enters the destination coordinates according to the system prompts, and it can be directly teleported to the corresponding position on the earth, and each team member then acts according to the division of labor, 20 minutes before the end of the action time, the captain will send a gathering signal, and finally assemble and be transmitted back to subspace by the system. The specific operation of the sleeping pod will be explained in detail when the sleeping pod is activated, and will not be repeated in this manual.

Target:

Look for any living animal or plant samples that are still active on Earth.

Find and study extraterrestrial species that are not present in the Poma Population database on Earth.

Find out why and why a large number of alien creatures suddenly descended on Earth.

Find a way to get rid of the cocoon.

Bring back any research samples that may be valuable.

Note: The above objectives are in no particular order

Weapons: In order to ensure your personal safety, a set of protective equipment covering the whole body will be placed in advance at the coordinate point after being transmitted to the earth, which is equipped with weapons, storage bags and some tools and instruments that can help with detection, the specific tool configuration and location are shown on the following page:"

The latter page is a black-and-white cartoon with messy lines but barely able to see the structure. The suit appears to be a tights with pockets all over the body, with four pockets on the chest, a large pocket on the back, twelve pockets on the arms, and seven or eight pockets on the front and back of the pants, a belt at the waist, and several places to place weapons. None of these places indicate what kind of weapon is placed, only "weapon one", "weapon two", and so on.

At the end of the picture is a line of small print:

"The actual protective clothing is a transparent film covering the entire human body, so the style of the protective clothing can be designed by yourself, please submit the clothing style to the team leader before the action."

I flipped back a page and finally came across the weapon.

"Since the mission of the detection team is to detect, we do not advocate or encourage random attacks on extraterrestrial creatures unless they are clearly hostile and pose a threat to the normal conduct of reconnaissance operations. The suit has a stealth function, so you can't use weapons and tools while you're stealth, so please use this function to avoid being discovered by alien creatures.

In terms of weapons, the equipment is mainly based on the existing weapons on the earth, and the Puma people are peace-loving, so they cannot provide effective means of attack, but they provide customized weapon services, and you can submit the details of the required customized weapons to the captain before the operation. The default weapon configuration is 3 guns (the model can be selected at the preparation meeting, if there are no special requirements, it will be regarded as the default configuration), bullets, daggers, throwing knives, swords, smoke grenades, signal flares, and flash grenades. ”

"Team Members' Experience:

The team members' experiences are left by the active members of the 5th Squad, and each member who becomes a regular team member will leave their own experiences here, which can be updated or deleted according to their personal wishes. Those who are no longer part of the permanent team will be removed.

End 28 (Captain)

I think it's a great honor to be part of the detection team and I'm going to do my best to dedicate everything to the search and lead the whole team 5 to complete the search. Even if nothing comes of it, I firmly believe that one day, all this will prove to be in vain. I hope that now that you have read this handbook and are about to join the team, you will realize the significance of the existence of the exploration team to the entire human race and the entire earth. As small as humanity is in the universe, we will never give up the right to take back the Earth! This is our human persistence! “

It's really worthy of the captain's official speech, although the number of words is not much, but it gives me goosebumps all over my body.

Law 01 (Vice Captain)

I am the author of this handbook, and I have already said everything I have to say, so I will not repeat it. In my opinion, the internal organization of the detection team is too loose, and it still needs to be systematized and formalized in order to improve the efficiency of the detection activities, and I hope that you who read this handbook can also contribute to this. ”

“G17

I think it's a waste of time, but I don't have anything else to do to pass the time, and participating in the detection is one of the few opportunities to get away from the chattering crowds, and the earth has never been so quiet before. ”

Is it appropriate to put such remarks on it and not delete it...... Maybe the handbook was written haphazardly?

"Tin 16

It's a good place to let off steam, and by the way, my favorite among alien creatures, Bopochi. ”

"Cloud 09

I used to feel that my life had been completely changed all of a sudden, and I felt at a loss for a long time, but now I don't have any doubts, I feel that I have found a way forward and work hard, and this goal has never been so clear. If I hadn't joined the detection team, maybe I would have had a nervous breakdown soon, and it was here that saved me, so I have to repay it even more. I want to try to live, hope is still there, I will not give up the opportunity to reunite with everyone on the earth, and I will never forget my friends on the earth, I hope everyone can wait for me. ”

The font of Yun 09 is very beautiful, which is in stark contrast to the round and chubby font on the back page.

"Ning 08

It's still fun to play as a game.

Insider tip: There are no beautiful girl alien invaders on Earth, and there are no handsome aliens, and those who come with this will be disappointed! The archives have an abundance of anime, games, and idol dramas to choose from, and you'll spend far more meaningful time there than you would here. ”

It's the only one she would expect from a beautiful girl-type invader and a handsome alien.

This is followed by the last page.

“KC66

Half of my soul is still there. ”

Just a short line of words.

"How? Have you read it? How does it feel? It's the first time I've seen this stuff after I've written it. Ji 87 rubbed his hands expectantly on the other side.

"It's okay......" The inorganic instructions in front of it are like giving a person who can't fly an airplane a guide and then throwing him directly to the cockpit.

"That's the specific situation, these rules, regulations, background, etc., don't need to explain too much, just take you down once and you will understand, we will have a return meeting in an hour, and I will take you directly over later."

"In an hour?" It's a really tight schedule.

"But before we do that, we're going to talk about something more important, about why the two aliens are looking for me, about why I'm looking for you, about why the probe group exists."

"Oh." I'm actually skeptical about whether the brother in front of me can be serious with me.

"Actually, the people you see here now, including me, are the second wave of inhabitants of the Asian, and we are collectively known as the new immigrants. Before us, when the Earth had just been attacked on such a large scale, the Puma people had selected a group of absolute elites to enter the sub-chasm to try to protect it. The so-called absolute elite is the simplest and crude division you can think of, the strongest physical fitness, the highest intelligence, and so on. However, the 'reality' of the sub-gap is actually completely 'overloaded' for many people, and the first batch of humans to be teleported to the sub-gap have committed suicide, some have a mental breakdown and finally die, and there are those who can't pass through the spirit star channel, in short, the survival rate is quite low. The Pommers then conducted a comprehensive study of the survivors and came up with a 'formula' that was then used to screen out us as a second wave of inhabitants to enter the sub-chasm. ”

"But according to what Xiao Ming Xiaohong said, shouldn't this be a place where there is no birth, old age, sickness and death at all? Why is the survival rate low? ”

"Generally speaking, there is no concept of birth, old age, sickness and death, and we people here generally refer to this phenomenon as 'time stagnation', of course, the essence of this phenomenon is not the same as the literal meaning. The Puma people have their own set of automatic human protection mechanisms, so that humans will not suffer any physical harm when living in the sub-gap, and the 'damage' here also includes the pathology of the body, so the so-called 'eternal life' can indeed be achieved in the sub-gap, but there are always exceptions to everything. There are two situations in the sub-chamber that do not activate the protection mechanism against humans, one is suicide, and the other is to become a 'soul star'. ”

"'Soul Star'?"

"I can't explain the state of 'Soul Star', oops, after all, I'm not a science student. Anyway, becoming a 'soul star' is a bit similar to a state of mental disorder, but it's a little different, so let me give you an example. ”

Ji 87 didn't make any special movements, but suddenly out of thin air in front of my eyes, there was a cluster of things floating in the air that resembled small foam balls. I tried to pinch it with my hands, and each one had a slight attachment. He grabbed a handful of small foam balls and kneaded them together to form a larger ball.

"Let's say it's a person." He handed me the "ball" with his left hand and motioned for me to take it, and at some point there was a large glass of transparent liquid in his right hand, like boiled water.

"And then what?" I asked.

"Spread out your hands and place this 'person' in the center of your palm."

I complied, and then he poured the cup and poured the water down on the 'man', and the stream of water completely washed away the little people that had been sticky so badly, and they turned into small foam balls again, floating back into mid-air.

"This, it's called the Soul Star," he grabbed a small foam ball at random, "the unit in the mouth of the Puma Star that makes up the structure of human consciousness. ”

"Looks a bit like a soul ......"

"It's okay to understand it this way, human beings, as long as consciousness still exists, the death of the physical body is not a problem, but once the consciousness dies, it is complete death."

"Under what circumstances will it become a 'soul star'?"

"As you saw just now, that little figure I glued more casually, not very strong, so a little impact, even a breath can make its form unstable, this is a situation. If the soul strength is relatively weak, it is easy to become a 'soul star'. However, whether or not to become a 'soul star' will be affected by many factors, and there are many forms of becoming a 'soul star', such as the type of 'scattered' that I showed just now, and the type of melting, etc., the principle here cannot be explained by us humans. It is precisely by analyzing these influencing factors in detail that the Puma people have come up with the second 'formula', which is to have new immigrants. As for this formula, the newcomers do not have the authority to know, only the people of the first squad know. ”

"What about the first squad?"

"The surviving of the first chosen elite, the old immigrants, are now the decision-making class in inter-Asian human society. General affairs are decided by them in communication with the Puma people, and they are the representatives of humanity. ”

"Leaders, meanwhile?"

"Almost. Team 1 has the absolute decision-making power of the inter-sub-Gap Humans, but for the sake of the stability of the newcomers, they will also recruit some newcomers into the first team, of course, they will not take on any important positions. Like me. ”

"You're a member of Team One?"

"Nominally, but those core messages are far away from me."

"You want to get them?"

"Yes." He replied without thinking.

"Is this to gain power in the Asian? You don't tell me that you are really so conscious that you want to leave this carefree life behind and return to Earth to be a mortal who will live, grow old, sickness and die? ”

"Actually, I have a three-year-old daughter......" he lowered his voice.

"Don't tell me that the next story of your wife will be that you die young, and you are dependent on your daughter alone, or that your wife is irresponsible and playful, so you take responsibility for raising your daughter, in short, you have to go back to Earth to save your daughter no matter what?"

"It's rude, you guy, you're about to get into the sensational part. But it's not interesting to be guessed. Well, I don't have a three-year-old daughter, and even if I did, I wouldn't recognize it, it's too much trouble for children. One of my favorite things about the Agatsa is that there are no dead children here, everyone, all of them, adults. ”

"So ......"

"There are indeed people in the exploration team who prefer a life full of troubles and want to return to Earth to be with their families, but most of them are in a state of conflict. Of course, they want to save their families, but they also don't want to give up their lives here, and if possible, they want the days to be extended indefinitely, forever in the first second of choice. This kind of self-deception is effective so that they can live with peace of mind because they have not given up on saving their families. But the question is, is this kind of life really real? Is it really possible for it to be extended indefinitely? A lot of people are avoiding this question. ”

"So the reason you created the probe team wasn't to save the planet?"

"The two are not contradictory. I think that whether it's our current situation, or the current state of the planet, the old immigrants have something to hide, and I don't want to sit still. To outsiders, the detective team is nothing more than a group of naïve people who have nothing to do and are naïve, but it is precisely this kind of place that the only way for new immigrants to get close to core secrets. While we are still blinded from the most important information and play the role of marionette, we are not completely without opportunities. Why can we live in such a form in the inter-sub-gap? Why is this catastrophe happening to the earth? Why did the Purma people happen to show up to help us? How much did the old immigrants hide? There are too many questions. I've been waiting for an opportunity, and you are that opportunity. His gaze was straight at me, not giving me any chance to shy away.

"So your quid pro quo is for the Van Xi to provide you with information?"

"No, the most important information should not be available even to the Van Xi Xingren, and the information encryption protection of the Puma Star is not only effective for humans, but also for the Fan Xi Xingren. So, just provide me with clues that will allow me to get information, and I will go to Earth to find out. Of course, I'll also help you find your dad. ”

"Have you ever thought that the Van Xi people can directly skip you and go to the first team to cooperate?"

Ji 87 smiled, grabbed a piece of roast meat from my plate with his hand and sent it to his mouth, "If there is substantial progress in the cooperation with the first team, the person sitting in front of you now will not be me." The first team treated you as an ordinary nuisance and sent me to this miscellaneous person, but I am by no means the type to sit idly by. ”

"So, if the Van Xi people have a way to restore the Earth to its original state directly, do you choose to restore the Earth, or continue to choose the cooperation method just now?"

"Hahaha, it's worthy of Ning 08's son, ruthless enough." Ji 87 looked very happy, "I can answer you, this question Qing Shaodu has confirmed with the Van Xi Xing people at the beginning, these two Fan Xi Xing people are not capable of doing this, and they have no right or reason to interfere with the problems that happened on the earth on this timeline." ”

"So, what if they have the ability?"

I know what his actual answer will be, but what I really want to hear is the answer he's willing to put on the surface.

"I will continue to choose to continue the way I just cooperated, because this is probably the only time I can get up close and personal with extraterrestrial technology." He held out his hands to me, "So, do you agree to this cooperation?" ”

"I don't have the right to refuse," I smiled wryly, I didn't expect to say the M6 mantra so quickly, "But, but this kind of thing, you are talking about it in such a public place, is it appropriate?" ”

I glanced around at the diners, and no one seemed to care about what we were talking about, but that didn't mean they weren't listening.

Ji 87 smiled, snapped his fingers, and in an instant, all the people around him disappeared.

"In the gap between the sub-chasms, do not believe what your eyes see."
