The second half of the second volume The death of the adjuster Chapter 8 Gathering, chess games, instruments

[Whew... Call... Call... 】

Because of the mask with a built-in respiratory system, brain doctor Mallorin. The sound of Marilyn Milson's heavy breathing, even filtered through, reached the ears of others working in the dead Titan underground research facility hundreds of meters underground, becoming the only sound in the dead room except for the slight sound of machinery running.

"Steady... Steady," Mallorin blinked, waiting for the momentary coldness on his forehead from the sweat-wiping brush to subside before focusing once again on the magnified image of the probe he was manipulating, his hand with the synaptic probe vibrating to a degree that was barely visible to the naked eye, allowing the probe to slowly move closer to the target, "Damn... ”

"Doctor, your organism is fluctuating and your neuronal firing is increasing." At the next moment when Mallorin stopped, one of the assistants who was monitoring everyone's status also made a sound.

"Dosing." Mallorin said without looking back.

The compound nerve drug slowly flowed into Mallorin's blood vessels, began to regulate blood oxygen, and dilatated the passage of chloride ions into cells, so that Mallorin's hand became extremely stable again, he took a breath, raised his head slightly and said to the group of medical teams around him who had been put together temporarily:

"It's the last point, come on, everyone."

"It's a fucking nightmare... In the surface building hundreds of meters above the heads of Mallorin and the others, in the crowd watching the operation, a general of the Federation supported his right hand with his left hand, and his right hand was clenched into a fist and his mouth was gagged and he let out a dull curse.

Leaving the complaining Federation general a few places, Titans' temporary general, Qi Teng, squinted his eyes slightly when he heard this curse and leaned down again:

"Has anything changed?"

"Nothing, General," the Titan soldier in charge of the surveillance equipment shook his head and replied to Qi Tengyi while looking at the data, "Except for a small number of people who have not lost consciousness, everyone else is in... Belch... Fainting state... ”

Just when Qi Teng held his breath and was about to spit it out helplessly, the voice of the Federation General who had complained just now came to his ears again:

"Why do you want to get to the point of finding a doctor from a local hospital to perform the operation, the people of Augusta and Murayu, the specialized personnel of the army?"

"Because every Augusta's, Murayu's, and the Federation's specialists have all become like this without exception!" Qi Tengyi took two steps forward and grabbed the collar of the federal general's clothes, and his other hand slapped on the screen showing the scene of the underground facilities while snarling at the general.

"Hug... I'm sorry, sir, but I'm just... ”

"Keep your mouth shut," Qi Teng shook off the major generals who had been suppressed by his rank one by one, and walked back to his position under the gaze of the other two federal generals present, "How is the monitoring of the induction wave?" ”

"It's still the same," said another researcher at the New Humanity Research Institute, who was in charge of monitoring the induction waves, as he pointed to the humanoid icon on the screen that seemed to be wrapped in a cocoon made up of countless invisible lines that could only be displayed in the form of signals, "The induction signal that exceeds the highest level 14 induction wave available in the Federation wraps the surgical body in the form of a ball about 800 meters, which is harmless to electronic devices, but it should have reached the point where it can scorch the brain, and it is a miracle that those people are okay down there, We can only rely on the results to infer --- induces that the wave is made of ... Something like a protective layer is conscious. ”

"General," just a few minutes after the researcher's debriefing, the Federation soldier in charge of communications in the surveillance room gently turned his head to Qi Tengyi and said, "The Silver Pine base two kilometers away reports --- [Wanderer's Homecoming, ETA 7 minutes]. ”

"It's finally here." Qi Teng showed a relieved but also very tangled expression on his face, sighed and strode towards the door.

Not long after Qi Tengyi left the monitoring room, Dr. Mallorin, who was busy in the underground operating room, finally let go of his hand gently, and then suddenly stumbled back a few steps as if he had lost all his strength, and after he gasped for a few breaths, he suddenly took off his mask:

"It's over... How is it? ”

"The healing procedure is carried out normally, and there should be no problem...

"Is there any sign of the sick person waking up?"

“。。。。。。 It's the same as just now.,It's as if you're not in a coma at all... ”

"This guy, exactly..." Propelled by curiosity, one of the driving forces of human progress and one of the sins, Marorin and Milson slowly walked back to place Arlando step by step. Next to Bakina's surgical medical cabin, he stared at the human body covered with a strange and even disgusting layer of skin under the transparent hatch, and his hand touched the hatch little by little.

"Doctor..." The temporary assistant next to him made a confused sound.

"Doctor, no!" In the monitoring room above, the federal monitoring personnel shouted out in a gaffe.

Mallorin's hand had fallen to the hatch.

The next moment, Maroline. Milson's vision was swallowed up by light.

Light, simple light, complex light, Mallorin. Milson is bathed in light--- the light that makes all things grow, and the light that incinerates everything; It is the sunshine that makes people warm, and it is also the cold light that makes people feel cold; It is the divine light that makes people sing loudly, and it is also the light that hides the worst depravity; It is the incandescent sun of the living, and the black sun of the dead...

Maroline. Milson is lost in the infinite light.

"Doctor? Doctor!!! Everyone screamed as they saw the doctor collapse to the ground.

"Damn, why hasn't the general come back yet?!"

At this time, Qi Tengyi, who was chattered by everyone in a panic, was standing on a heavily guarded tarmac, trying to open his eyes in the wind pressure left by the landing, looking at the huge box that was being transported out of the dropped shuttle, the flat box was also more than ten meters high, and the pitch-black surface coated with the coating that made the detection method ineffective In addition to a strange hexagonal shape composed of circles and lines, there were also huge three letters written:

【A.S.A】

"ASA, early morning?" Thinking back to the language of his homeland that he had not used for a long time, Qi Teng muttered.

"So there are a lot of similarities in the language, isn't it true that Ain-Soph-Aur means something like early morning?" Standing at Qi Tengyi's side, Lund. Mina. Sahak took off the MS's helmet and shook his long hair slightly.

"That's a lot of money... Looking sideways at Orb's Shadow King, Qi Tengyi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of bitter saliva, "I used the smallest S in the entire Patriot system so early... ”

"It's a pity, but Arlando. If the normal operation of Bakina and the success of this mission are not guaranteed, then the meaning of PATRIOTS' existence will be minimized, and I want to know what is hidden behind my brother's [resurrection] this morning.

"I sincerely hope that everything will go well this time," Qi Tengyi said quite solemnly before getting into the car with Mina, "and I also hope to solve the problem of Orb and the Heavenly Pillar as soon as possible." ”

"As soon as possible, the Heavenly Pillar will complete his mission, but the people above must be pleased...

Two hours later, in the underground base of Titans, Arlando, who had just completed brain surgery, was gently grabbed out of the medical pod, and then gently placed into the cockpit of the steel giant's belly that had just arrived underground.

"Let's get started." Mina nodded to her men.

"The nanocrystals are well bonded to the hyperboloid panels, the power supply is started, the displacement gap between the nitrogen and carbon atoms is observed, the composite superlattice structure is not abnormal, the single-photon jet is formed, the qubits observations are rising, the system is operating normally, and the Ain-Soph-Aur core is running at 5% power."

The previously dim cockpit gradually emitted brighter and brighter light, and the fluid Samuel frame network covering the entire body pulsated at a strange frequency in sync with the blood vessel heartbeat in Arlando's body, at this time Mina looked sideways at Qi Tengyi and the others:

"Now all we have to do is wait...

At the same time, in a small café in the Plant satellite group, the girl Ruyueqiu was absentmindedly tapping the edge of the coffee cup with a small coffee spoon, and she kept tapping her eyes and looking into the distance without focus, until a friend next to her interrupted her after taking a sip of coffee:

"Autumn, what's wrong?"

"Hmm..." Ruyueqiu came back to her senses and muttered meaninglessly.

"Didn't get a good rest? Another strange dream? ”

"Hmmm... Hawkers... ”

"Tell me about it?"

"Actually, it's still the same as before," Ruyueqiu recalled the more and more frequent dreams that had plagued her recently, and smiled bitterly, "People, a lot of people, and the one that radiates light... Things, the light is getting brighter and brighter, and it is getting easier and easier for me to wake up... ”

"Do you want to see a psychiatrist?"

"It's just prescribing some medicine to me." Ru Yueqiu shook her head and said that it was useless to see a doctor.

"Hmm," Ruyueqiu's friend Megumi, who seemed to be about to say something after taking another sip of coffee, seemed to want to say something, but her brows quickly wrinkled in pain, "My stomach hurts, I'll go to the toilet, Xiaoqiu is waiting for me." ”

"Ah, I'm not going anywhere."

Not long after Ru Yueqiu answered her friend like this and watched her rush to the toilet, the waitress who had served her coffee before came to her again, accompanied by a small plate with two gummies and a soft word:

"Give this lady candy."

"Huh? Oh, thank you," Ruyueqiu said thank you, and found that the small plate seemed to have a string of numbers written out with the sugar of the gummy candy, "Excuse me, what is this?" ”

"Seeing such a lovely young lady, I'll leave a phone number for you," the waiter who was walking away smiled back, "Remember to put me in front of your speed dial, and it's better to stay behind the doctor and lawyer!" ”

Ru Yueqiu, who was wondering what was going on, heard the sad cry of a male employee in the coffee shop [the conditions are so good, it's actually a Bi, the resources leave some for a single person like us, the soul is faint], and her face suddenly turned red, she quickly wiped off the row of numbers with her hands before her friend came back, and then quickly ate the gummy.

The corners of the waitress in the distance lifted the corners of her mouth.
