Chapter 20: New Memory
Kassel Academy, central control room.
Well-conditioned soundproof walls divide the space between the control room and the control outside. Outside, the Kassel Academy is in the middle of February, and the chicks that have just broken out of their shells are as crisp as ever, and the mist of the fairy sea carries the unique fragrance of the sea of trees. In contrast, the control room separated by a wall is much worse. Although the complete central air-conditioning system makes the indoor temperature pleasant, and the blue projection earth in the center of the control room adds a sci-fi and mysterious atmosphere here, these can't offset the noise and dullness in the room.
Suddenly, someone pushed open the door of the control room, which had been closed, as if the mud seal of some old adult wine had been opened.
"Mentor, I've brought something." Li Su shook the file box in his hand and walked in through the open door.
"Hmm." Professor Schneider reached for the metal file box and glanced at the brand-new seal on it. I haven't seen him for a long time, I wanted to say a few words about him, but when I opened my mouth, I couldn't say a word, so I simply stopped being polite. "The file was received. Do you still have a task? ”
"Forget it." Li Su waved his hand. "I want to go back and get some sleep first. By the way, how many nominal holidays have I accrued? ”
"It's estimated that it's a long time, and you've done a lot of tasks before......" Professor Schneider said as he pulled up Li Su's file. Came out, 4...year? Schneider was also stunned when he saw this number, and after refreshing the page to confirm that it was correct, he nodded. That's right, it's 4 years. ”
That's an unheard of length of time. Most commissioners don't have such a thing as a scheduled vacation, and their leave is arranged by Norma, as long as you enter the time you want to take off in advance, such as your birthday, your important person's birthday, your wedding anniversary, etc. Norma then plays to her strengths in working with data to create a schedule that satisfies the vast majority of people. Of course, if you are really dissatisfied with this schedule, you can also apply for a change of work location, and if you choose this school, the school will also provide you with a subsidy for changing your place of residence.
Itinerant commissioners, on the other hand, are tasked not only with ordinary assignments, but also with a quality review of the commissioner. If there is an analogy, an ordinary commissioner is a government official who is responsible for day-to-day operations, while an itinerant commissioner is more like the KGB.
Fortunately, the students of the Kassel Academy are all good young people who regard dragon slaying as their own responsibility and stick to the bottom line, and the itinerant commissioner will not be as bloody as the KGB, but the field of responsibility is roughly the same. And even the free such as the Circuit Commissioner has a limit on the rated leave, and the vacation is extended once for a mission, and Norma forcibly provides the mission after the time is cleared. For a variety of reasons, itinerant commissioners maintain a certain amount of rated leave, on the one hand, to cope with all kinds of unexpected situations, and on the other hand, it is also a proof of hard work, which is a special honor. But this is the first time Schneider has seen it in such a long time.
"Then let me use it for a year and a half first, and go first." Li Su waved his hand and walked out of the central control room.
"Mission handover?" Kotono, who was waiting at the door, saw him walk out of the central control room and leaned over.
"Hmm." Li Su nodded. "I'm ready to take a vacation this time, together?"
"Of course, it's been a long time since we've been apart." Kotono shrugged her shoulders and took his hand. "Where to go?"
"I haven't figured out where to go." Li Su thought for a while, "Anyway......"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly lost consciousness.
----------------------------
As his consciousness gradually revived, Li Su only felt that he was fixed in an extremely uncomfortable movement: his hands were cut behind his back, and he seemed to be sitting on something.
He tried to extend his realm as usual, but the space that had always seemed like his own extension did not respond to his call, and he lost his temporary power and became an ordinary person again.
For some reason, he felt a sense of relief, knowing what it meant to lose this power, but the feeling of being unburdened still made him feel extremely relaxed. He suddenly remembered a question he had seen: if he knew that he couldn't score 100 points, would the person who worked hard and scored 90 points be happier, or the person who scored 60 points casually was happier?
Looks like you already have the answer...... Li Su smiled, meaning unclear. I don't know if he's glad that he's finally woken up, or if he's mocking himself for giving up.
Although he was tied somewhere, his eyes didn't seem to be blindfolded. Li Su opened his eyes and began to observe the situation around him.
As he imagined, he was tied to a chair. It is clear that he was still a god-level existence in the realm before, but now a hemp rope can make him unable to resist, which is really interesting.
It's a simple room, like a hotel room. The room had a bed with no quilts and a table full of paper, and a dresser that had apparently not been cleaned much. Outside the window should be the advertisement of this hotel, the old-fashioned light box outside is a circle of LED light strips, a red light and a blue light is simply light pollution, full of urban-rural junction style. However, it seems that there is only English and no Chinese on the billboard, is it abroad? Let me see...... Translated, it seems... New Yorker? What the hell is this name, I'll go.
The dresser seems to be facing you, so let's see how it is now...... Li Su felt that he had not only lost his strength, but also became a little short-sighted, and he couldn't see anything a little farther away. He squinted, and it took him a moment for his ciliary muscles to adjust before he recognized himself in the mirror...... Wrong! That's not yourself! It's obvious a white man in the mirror!
What the hell?!
Before Li Su could sort out his thoughts, the door of the room was opened, and the rope that bound him when he walked into the room was loosened by himself, this ability he was very familiar with, and he had similar ones before.
"Eat it, your last supper is your favorite pljeskavica, it won't taste good when it's cold." The people who entered the door seemed to be very concerned about him, if they ignored the fact that he had stuffed a pill into the meat bun-like thing.
Li Su rubbed his swollen wrist and looked up at this guy. But the strange thing is that he found that he couldn't remember the other person's appearance at all, and it was clear that the other party was in front of his eyes, but he could neither describe nor remember the person's appearance.
He didn't say anything, but reached out and took the food that the hell knew it was and ate it, which tasted unexpectedly good, and was quickly finished. The man was very patient, quietly watching him finish eating, and then pointed to the big bed in the room: "Go to sleep, good night." ”
Li Su understood that he had no choice, so he obediently went to bed and covered the quilt. After a few minutes, he could feel his consciousness thinning little by little until it was gone.
