26 The third stage of the trial
Time always flows inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, the training has come to an end, and Hirata will have the final test, after which they can go back to their respective homes. So what is this final test?
"It's as simple as doing a specific thing in a specific place." Wu Keyang said.
In an ordinary-looking room, Uncle Wu Ke gave Hirata a bag for each of them, and said to them, "This is your task, although it is simple, but it can be used." You will then pass through a door and enter another world, just like you did when you first arrived, but this time everyone's mission is different, and it's not just about surviving. After speaking, he smiled slightly, giving people an unclear aura.
The wall at the back of the room suddenly opened, revealing a door behind itβa door, really the same as the door in front of your house.
Uncle Wu Ke pointed to the door: "Okay, then press the size, Pingtian, you come first." β
βwhatοΌβ Hirata was not calm when he heard it, "Can you be more professional!" I'm not short! Besides, there are people who are lower than me according to the size, okay! Ye Ke's altitude is obviously two centimeters lower than mine! β
"Cut." Before Uncle Wu Ke could speak, Ye Ke first hugged his arms and squinted at Hirata and said with disdain, "Third-level cripple." β
Hirata: "...... (vomiting blood) puff! The invisible blade, the deadliest ......"
was so ruthlessly exposed by Ye Ke, Hirata was completely discouraged, and the whole person seemed to be thrown into [beep-] [beep-] to play for 3 days, depending on the situation, it will not be able to slow down for a while.
"Okay, you two don't make trouble, and you have to have a different time and place." Uncle Wu Ke saw that these two goods began to sell on a daily basis, "Ye Ke, you come first, let's solve it as soon as possible." β
"Okay." Ye Ke said yes and walked forward, passing by the dead Hirata by the way, opened the door and walked in, and then ...... Nothing happened.
"Ahem." Facing Ye Ke's confused expression, Uncle Wu Ke coughed twice in embarrassment, and pointed inside the door, "I forgot to say, it's not this door, the one inside, the one that shines, remember you now!" β
Hey, uncle, your terrier is very old, and the side shows your age, do you know?
Ye Ke closed the door and walked forward, and the moment she closed the door, the world was turned upside down.
She was now walking in a corridor made entirely of transparent materials, and outside the corridor was an endless galaxy, just like the cosmic starlight map that she and Hirata had seen when they were brought back by Uncle Wu Ke, but this time there was no suffocation or pain.
The stars shine brightly, illuminating the road in front of them. The unknown transparent material makes the feet feel empty, as if walking in the void space, under the feet is the light belt or the river of light, at the end of the river of light there is a door, a door that glows with a slight starlight.
Ye Ke walked slowly, admiring this rare beauty while walking, the pain she felt when she came back last time made her not care about taking a good look, and now she finally had a chance to take a closer look.
"It's beautiful, is this the universe?"
The only light in the darkness is the white flashes that dot the black curtain, and the white flashes are far and near, like looking at the starry sky on a moonless night. Where exactly are these starlights? They seem far away and close at the same time. Although they are called starlight, they are not really stars, Ye Ke has no way of judging what these things are, the flash seems to be the only thing they are doing, there is no other visible, main behavior, just flash. The river of light, known as the river of light, is made up of a collection of many such still stars, spread from under their feet to the distance, which is also the only conceptual factor with a clear purpose or cause, and the only evidence that Ye Ke can confirm that he is not in a dream.
After walking for a long time, or Ye Ke felt that after walking for a long time, she finally arrived at the Starlight Gate. It's not because it's slow, but the door in front of her seems to exist in a different time and space, at first Ye Ke kept walking, but the distance between her and the gate didn't change at all, but then it suddenly appeared in front of her, just like a mirage suddenly became real. Ye Ke didn't understand the principle of this qiΔ, but she finally got there.
Ye Ke took a deep breath and held the door with his hand that was exactly the same as the one outside except for the starlight shining from the inside, his eyes wandering over the door. She already had some kind of conjecture in her mind about this mission, although it would not really help her next behavior, but she still had a feeling of excitement, which is difficult to describe, this is a subtle and complex psychological feeling.
"So, let me get started."
With a slight twist of the palm and a slight push, the door opened.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Everyone in the room left one by one, leaving only Hirata still playing in the room. When the last person walked through the door, Uncle Wu Ke walked up to the gray flat field and said to him, "Okay, everyone is gone, what can I say about it." β
After listening to Uncle Wu Ke's words, Hirata came back to his senses from his gray state, stood up from his chair, looked at Uncle Wu Ke, raised his eyebrows, and said, "You saw through it." β
Uncle Wu Ke shrugged slightly: "I've seen more people than you've seen." β
Hirata: "...... Your analogy is problematic, but I'm not going to pursue it today. He paused and continued, "I have a very tangled question for you, but I don't want anyone to know. β
"Oh, what's the problem?" Uncle Wu Ke came to be interested.
"How......" Hirata's face looked thoughtful, "I want to make sure to you again - what we experienced at the beginning was true, right?" β
"I think I've said that a long time ago." Uncle Wu Ke pulled a chair and sat down, and Hirata sat down with him. He took two cigars out of his pocket, handed one to Hirata and lit one himself, took a deep breath, and a puff of smoke gushed out of his nostrils, supporting his bald head like a jewel in a fairyland.
Hirata also lit a cigarette, but he was not as intoxicated as Uncle Wu Ke, he just took a puff and didn't move, watching Uncle Wu Ke wait for him to solve his doubts.
"I said in the training, those are true, there is no falsehood, I think you have been in it for more than four months, you should understand better than me, but I am also clear about your concerns, but this is the truth, we are indeed a little more advanced than those people in the plane."
Uncle Wu Ke stopped and took another puff of cigarette to replenish the haze of his fairyland, looked at Hirata and continued, "This is a task, a way to test you. Well, you can say a lot about the purpose, but I guess that's not what you want to know, right? β
"yes, that's not what I want to know." Hirata nodded and took a puff on his cigarette, "If I'm not mistaken, this mission is the same as last time, right?" β
"It's different, this time it's a little more steady."
"That's what I want to ask." Hirata put down the cigarette in his hand, his eyes fixed on Uncle Wu Ke's eyes, like a torch, "Do we have the right to interfere in their lives?" We're a threat to them, right? Especially like this one, is there a reason for us to disturb other people's worlds? β
Faced with Hirata's questioning, Uncle Wu Ke did not give him an answer immediately. Hirata kept his eyes on him, and he staggered his gaze from Hirata and stood up with his back to Hirata and walked towards the gate. He stood silent in front of the door, not making any other moves, just smoking his cigar, puffing on and out, until he exhaled the last bit of smoke. He threw away the cigarette butt and turned around, facing Hirata with his tall build, and he couldn't tell what the expression on his face was. Conscientious? Cold? There is also a little subtle teasing.
"I guess your doubts are not just this time, but this time they are revealed. I know you have an answer in mind, the same answer I had in mind - I heard about you the other day - your question is not so much a question as a confirmation of your choice, to see how you and Lukka fit in, right? β
Hirata smiled, it was the kind of [okay, you're right] smile: "Ah, you picked me twice, and you saw it." β
Uncle Wu Ke shrugged again: "I said that I have seen more people than you have seen. β
Hirata: "...... Please don't use this analogy again, I've had breakfast today! β
"Hehe, I want you to take care of it." Uncle Wu Ke took out the cigar and put it in his mouth again, but this time he didn't light it, "I'll just say it." Do you know what your immediate boss says about you? β
"What?"
"It's a perfect fit for the atmosphere of Iron Mountain Hospital, and it's as compatible as the XP system."
"I can't pretend I didn't hear the second half of the sentence, I use W7."
"Don't talk about this uselessness." Uncle Wu Ke waved his hand, "I can't answer your question either, in short, you are very compatible with here." In the future, you can do whatever you want, don't worry, you can think about the rest, you should be from the company's care. You won't delve into the process of drawing conclusions, but I guess you already understand. β
"Yes, I see." Hirata got up and patted the cigarette ash on his pants with his hand and threw away the remaining half of the cigar, "To be honest, I still can't quite accept the taste...... Okay, I've finally known what this place is for so long, and it's a little painful to come to such a conclusion after tossing for so long. β
"If you know, go quickly, I'm still busy when you're idle." Uncle Wu Ke leaned against the door, his eyebrows were twisted together, and he said in a very unhappy tone, "Don't ask me this kind of question in the future, just ask your direct boss." I don't have any obligation to do it, and counseling you is not my main job. β
Hirata shrugged his shoulders without speaking, and then he walked to the gate and opened the door without hesitation and walked in, "bang" The door closed, and now there was no one here.
After a while, after making sure that this kid Hirata would not suddenly kill himself, the door of the room was opened from the outside, and Mr. Wu Tian, who was dressed in black, walked in from outside with a smile.
When he came in, he said to Wu Keyang: "How about it, it's a little interesting." β
Uncle Wu Ke nodded thoughtfully: "It's really interesting, I don't expect him to have a lot of ideas." β
"Yes, this kid is exactly like my disciple."
"You say Hirakawa Valley? It was exactly the same, and it was all the same. No, more annoying than her. β
"You're still young after all."
"That's a great thing to say."
After chatting for a while, Uncle Wu Ke decided to change the topic, and he asked Teacher Wu Tian: "I said, boss, is the intensity of the task you are preparing this time a little low?" β
Teacher Wu Tian smiled and said, "Not low, not low, enough." I don't want the kids to be stupid boys who only work on muscles, and that's not what this trial is about. β
"Oh, I know, that's fine." Uncle Wu Ke reached out and lit the unlit cigar, took a deep breath, and let out a long puff of smoke, "Next, it's up to these boys." Ah, I'm finally able to relax after today, it's really exciting. β
"Hey, you're thinking too much."
"What?!"
