Chapter III: Testing Centers

Yang Ming's city has no name, only the code name L.

Every morning at 0:00 a.m., the testing center in the center of the city will emit a deep sound like a bell, and then the whole city will rain down red and green lights.

Where the light sweeps, it will be marked as soon as a new awakened person appears—which is why Yang Ming had to go to the testing center the next day.

At this moment, the new bell rang again, and Yang Ming stood in front of the bedroom window, looking up at the towering clouds in the distance, like the central building of the mountain. The scanning light starts to creep in from there.

He looked sad and muttered in a low voice, "Do you really want to take a ball to the testing center?" ”

His mind was full of the unbridled ridicule of his sister Yang Chenchen and Zhong Peng.

As the scanning light sliced through the wall, a triangular red and green image was imprinted on his arm, the Mark of the Newly Awakened. Also a timer.

At this time, he suddenly noticed a slight movement of the bastard, and then, a picture appeared in his mind:

There is only one person in the picture, wearing clown makeup. He smiled, the corners of his mouth reaching the root of his ears, his eyes fierce and endlessly crazy, staring straight ahead.

The picture flashes and disappears. A fear rose in Yang Ming's heart, and he looked around, only to feel that there was a pair of eyes staring at him.

But no.

The memory of the guardian god's ability was temporarily changed to induction by my mother, could it be that there is such a guardian saint by her side?

Frightened, he lay down in bed, his eyes open until three o'clock in the morning.

When I woke up the next day, the sun was shining outside.

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door, and her mother Chen Yue shouted outside: "Get up Xiao Ming, if you don't go to the testing center, it will be timeout!" ”

Yang Ming glanced at the red and green triangle on his arm, which displayed a string of numbers - 1:30.

Yang Ming suddenly became excited, turned over, rushed out of the door and hurriedly began to wash.

Ten minutes later, Yang Ming boarded the tram to the testing center.

There were few people in the car, so he found a place to sit down, and then an electronic board was displayed in front of him, on which a news story was playing.

"There was a homicide in the Third Ring Road neighborhood last night, where a family of three was killed. The murderer's name is Zhang Wei, and the patron saint is a clown, who is still at large. If you find out your whereabouts, you must call the Authority in time! ”

Below the news, there are photos of the murderer and his patron saint.

Yang Ming felt a little familiar, but he didn't bother to think about it.

He tilted his head and looked out of the tram. The building quickly retreated, and the voices of the other people in the carriage were heard:

"Have you heard, yesterday there were two guardian spirits in the Fourth Ring Street who fought, and even the manager Wei Chi Wushuang was alarmed."

"Huh? Why didn't the news air? ”

"I heard that the two Patronus Spirits fought on their own, and the Authority blocked the news for fear of causing panic."

"What a joke. How can the Patronus fight on its own, it must be with the participation of the Awakened. ”

Hearing this, Yang Ming remembered in a trance that there was indeed a battle in front of his house yesterday, but he was quickly suppressed by his idol Wei Chi Wushuang.

Listening to their discussion, Yang Ming didn't care.

The only thing I'm worried about now is my ball.

Damn, why is the name bastard!

As I pondered, the tram stopped, and a towering triangular building appeared in front of me.

It's the testing center.

The only building in L City.

It is 730 meters high, with one hundred and twenty-eight base pillars at the base, which is also the entrance. From the bottom to the top, 200 meters above the ground occupies the largest space, and when you look up, it looks like a giant castle in the sky.

Yang Ming came to an entrance, which was unguarded and only had one machine.

When he entered the door, the red and green triangle on Yang Ming's body gradually disappeared, and the machine in front of him showed his information, and then the space around him distorted, and after a while, he found himself in a small white house.

A robot stood in front of him, separated by a table made of black gold. There is a metal chair next to him.

"Hello, Yang Ming, I'm No. α-402, welcome to the Awakened Testing Center." The robot said, "Please sit in a chair." ”

Yang Ming did so, and as he sat on the chair, a helmet protruded from the back of the chair and covered his head.

The helmet will detect if he is telling the truth.

"Wait." Yang Ming said suddenly.

The robot was about to start the detection system when it stopped.

"Do you have anything to say?" The robot asked.

"I've heard that you're now digging into the memories of the Awoken again, is that true?" Yang Ming asked.

"Please rest assured that we are testing in full compliance with the latest Testing Regulations and will only ask relevant questions." The bot answers.

Yang Ming sighed and said no more.

He nodded to the robot and motioned for it to begin.

The robot pressed the button on the black gold table, and the table opened, and flying mechanical eyes came out of it.

They emitted a red light and shone on Yang Ming's body, from beginning to end, over and over again.

After that, the robot said:

"Show your abilities or Patronus."

An earthy yellow ball appeared in Yang Ming's hand.

"What dimension does it come from?" The robot asked.

"Earth."

"Name?"

"Bastard."

"Please don't swear." "I'm not human, but I shouldn't be insulted." ”

Yang Ming's face was distorted with anger, he bared his teeth, and said viciously: "I mean its name is Bastard!" ”

There is no warning for the helmet. The robot then understood, and it continued to ask:

"What are the abilities of the bastard?"

"Induction, the sphere will randomly show a Patronus who is about to appear around it."

"Can you show it?"

"I said it was random."

"Can it fit?"

"Not yet."

Answering this, Yang Ming saw that the mechanical eye receded, and the detection system made a sound:

"After the test is completed, there is no abnormality, and after testing and analysis, the awakening level D is determined."

The inspection system gives a grade determination, which means that the test is complete. But Yang Ming found that the helmet still hadn't been loosened.

I heard the robot say, "Given that you can't merge with your Patronus for the time being, I suspect you're withholding important information. I will search your memory, please cooperate. ”

As he spoke, countless small tentacles stretched out from the helmet and pierced into Yang Ming's scalp.

“GNM! It's against the law for you to do so! Yang Ming yelled.

"We have the right to search the memories of the suspects. It's not illegal. The robot replied.

As he spoke, the robot pressed the button on the black gold table again.

But at this moment, the whole house shook, and the house was plunged into darkness in an instant.

Then, rumbling sounds rang out one after another.

The helmet on Yang Ming's head was loose, and he took it off directly. But I heard the system in the room playing:

"The testing center has been attacked by an explosion, please stop the testing and leave the testing center immediately!"

Before the words fell, in the dark, a cold mechanical arm grabbed Yang Ming.

"Bang dang." The robot pulled Yang Ming out of the small house and appeared on the passage in the building.

The sound of the explosion is clearer.

Yang Ming saw that the foundation pillar of this entrance was collapsing rapidly. Waves of robots poured out, trying to stop the catastrophe from happening.

But a huge piece of metal falls, smashing a large piece of the robot into scrap metal.

Then the entire entrance shook, and a terrifying cracking sound came from overhead.

It's starting to collapse.

The robot suddenly picked Yang Ming up, startling him.

"Boom!"

The sound of horrific explosions, cracks, and falling objects is endless. A sharp, sharp shard of black gold flew out of nowhere and clicked into the robot's back.

Yang Ming was taken aback.

Fortunately, the robot is solid, and if it is replaced by itself, it must be cold.

Yang Ming looked at the iron sheet that picked up him, and couldn't help but feel complicated in his heart.

The iron sheet who tried to invade his privacy just now is desperately trying to protect himself.

At the end of the day, it's just a tool.

After a jolt in the robot's arms, Yang Ming saw the sky outside. But Tie Hanhan did not stop, but continued to run wildly for several hundred meters. Then let go of Yang Ming.

"I'm sorry to frighten you." The robot bowed to him, then turned and ran towards the entrance.

Yang Ming looked at the testing center, only to find that many entrances had been blown up, and billowing smoke was spewing outside.

"It's ...... What's going on?! Yang Ming was extremely shocked in his heart.

Terrorist attacks?

Yang Ming directly denied this idea.

The Detection Center is the supreme presence of the city, and its establishment and maintenance are done by thousands of awakened people and countless robots. There are also city managers inside, and the awakening level is above S!

Not to mention terrorist attacks, since the establishment of L City, there has not been a single accident!

But what's going on?

At this moment, he saw a human face on a huge electronic screen outside the testing center.

Yang Ming's scalp suddenly went numb, and his heart was shocked.

Isn't it the same guy who was sensed by the bastard last night!
