Volume 1: The Tide of Dusk: The Far Eastern Fortress (2)

"I've never heard of this place. ”

An Yiran looked at this building in a daze, he had never heard of such a magnificent building here for many years, and it was not even marked on the map, if his memory was not wrong, this should have been a high-end villa area built by Legao.

"When it was planned, it was indeed a villa area, but it was bought by the Eastern Subdivision a long time ago and transformed into the Eastern Liaison and Scientific Research Center. ”

Lin Xiaojia explained to him that Ftype had already driven to the unattended gate, and a red light swept through the body, and the gate slowly rose into the air, opening up to them.

"I forgot to mention that the Lego Group is also part of the Eastern Division. Lin Xiaojia explained casually to An Yiran, who was looking at the Legao Construction sign with a puzzled expression.

"The bourgeoisie is incredible!"

His mouth was amazed, and he let out a heartfelt admiration at the huge ship-shaped building in front of him.

In front of the building is a planned open-air parking lot, scattered with a few commercial vehicles, and a heavy-duty semi-trailer that looks airtight, and there is an obvious inverted triangle logo on the carriage, like a figure composed of three iron hooks connected to the end and end, and even the exterior wall of the ground floor of this building has an inverted triangle logo.

"The sign of the Prophet, on the surface, will be used by businesses or facilities affiliated with the Prophet. ”

Closing the car door, she walked in front of her to lead the way, while An Yiran followed behind her, looking up from time to time to look around.

Sunlight casts on the shimmering metallic exterior walls, and the entire building looks like a super-high-rise fortress from the outside, and the airtight shape brings a sense of heaviness.

Layers of sycamore trees envelop this tall building, like an island isolated from the rest of the world.

Now that he has officially joined the Order, this is the first time he has come up close and personal with the true face of the Order.

For the prophet, his understanding is limited to the mouths of Lin Xiaojia, Lao Zhang, Kvax, and Li Ruolin, and the sudden influx of mystery makes him not know whether to be excited or nervous.

Lin Xiaojia entered a string of numbers on the access control device, and another beam of red light quickly swept around Lin Xiaojia, and the opposite glass door shrank to both sides, opening the internal passage.

What appeared in front of me was a hall nearly twenty meters high, and in the center of the hall stood a huge floating globe.

If you look closely, the globe seems to be projected by the device at the bottom, and the projected image is constantly changing, with flashing red and green dots of light switching back and forth in different positions.

"That's the An system, another brain that belongs to the Prophet. ”

Lin Xiaojia looked at the large projection in front of him and introduced it to An Yiran.

Although I don't know exactly how An works, this system similar to artificial intelligence is indeed the absolute center of the organization, and all actions will not be able to be executed smoothly without it.

"The An system is implanted in the consciousness of the head of the organization, and all our actions are related to it. The system is able to recognize each person's voiceprint instructions and is our action brain. ”

There are no more imaginary high-tech furnishings in the hall except for projection, and several staff members in white coats are checking something next to the projection instrument, seeing Lin Xiaojia's approaching figure, he raised his hand slightly, Lin Xiaojia also slowly nodded in return to a few people, and walked towards the depths of the hall with An Yiran.

"Everyone has a terminal that condenses the An subsystem, and the one that belongs to you should have been made. ”

Seeing that An Yiran was quite interested in this projection, Lin Xiaojia's words raised his interest a lot.

"Soon you'll know the benefits. ”

"Will it turn me into a Kamen Rider kind that you can wear on your waist?"

"What is Kamen Rider?"

"Super handsome, touch the belt and it shines, and then put on a suit of armor to fight the weirdos. ”

"Young poor mouth, I am serious, you have to respect An, it also represents the will of our supreme commander. ”

"The supreme commander, meaning the boss, is he very powerful?"

“。。。。。 The two of them were already standing in the rising elevator, and Lin Xiaojia was a little confused by this question.

"It's amazing. ”

As a result, she only held back these words, An Yiran shrugged his shoulders, he just couldn't keep his mouth shut, but he didn't really want Lin Xiaojia to answer anything.

Of course, he didn't know anything about the leader, but he also felt that the person who could form such a large multinational organization was certainly not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The number of the elevator stopped on the 32nd floor, and the bright incandescent lights illuminated the entire floor, Lin Xiaojia led him to stop in front of one of the doors, and the auto-sensing door slowly opened in front of them.

An An artificial turf field appeared in front of An Yiran's eyes, and the overhead sign showed the training room 32A with electronic numbers, the room was about ten meters high, and a layer of mesh surrounded the center of the field, leaving only a narrow entrance in front of the door. Outside the entrance, a room is surrounded by transparent walls, sofas and tables, and even a few medium-sized drink vending machines.

The rest area is nothing compared to the whole venue, and the other side of it extends to the opposite side for more than fifty meters, and it is impossible to see that this room is so spacious from the outside.

What looks like a golf training ground is out of step with the building's metal style.

"I'm here, tell you about your training goals for today. ”

Lin Xiaojia walked to the wall at the entrance, entered a string of numbers, and the door of the rest area opened.

"Let's cut to the chase, aren't we going to think about it?"

"There is no time for us to waste. She said lightly.

"It's a simulated training ground, but it's not about fighting, it's usually used for recreational ball games. ”

Lin Xiaojia introduced unhurriedly, pressed the start button of the wallside device, and after setting the program, the gate on the other side of the venue outside the rest area slowly opened, and three gun-shaped devices stretched out from the inside of the wall and aimed at the center of the venue.

"Shall you go in?"

She reached out and pushed An Yiran, who was still grinding and chirping in place, and pushed him through the open door into the venue, and the moment she entered, the transparent material door of the lounge behind her closed with a bang.

"The first lesson is the precise control of your abilities, the use of all abilities is a consumption of yourself, and each time you have to learn to capture each target with the most appropriate consumption. ”

Lin Xiaojia's voice came from overhead.

"I said, I can't stop the bullet right now!"

An Yiran looked at the muzzle-like equipment sticking out of the opposite wall, and made a sad face at Lin Xiaojia in the lounge.

"Don't be stupid, it's just a couple of baseball machines, and I said this is a training ground for ball games. Lin Xiaojia took out a can of Coke from the vending machine next to him.

"But this difficulty is just right for you, stop talking, get ready to start!"

He didn't want to say anything more, there was a low sound from the baseball machine on the opposite side, and someone on the opposite side was detected, and the automatic baseball machines also began to work, and after a rolling sound, a baseball shot out of the baseball machine in the middle and flew towards An Yiran at great speed.

"Shoot to the maximum, don't think about dodging, think about using your ability to deal with it. ”

Lin Xiaojia's voice came from the loudspeaker again, and before the words fell, the flying baseball was already approaching An Yiran.

"Devour!"

He stretched out his right hand, the fluctuations slowly converging in his palm, his attention focused on the area around the baseball in front of him, his mind constantly thinking about the instructions generated by the rift.

But it was too late, and the rift in the space had not yet had time to form, and the rapidly flying ball smashed heavily on his right leg, causing him to jump high in pain.

"Concentrate, speed up the reaction!" Lin Xiaojia said to the microphone again, this method is still Lao Zhang's idea, Lao Zhang has a lot of opinions on the exercise of mental ability, and after the discussion, they made the use of baseball machines to achieve the best exercise purpose.

It's too difficult for him to be a sparring partner himself, but this painless way suits him.

If An Yiran knew Lin Xiaojia's thoughts at this time, he would probably be angry.

He gasped and stroked his swollen calves from being smashed by a baseball, thinking to himself that if he missed a few more times, he might be stoned to death.

At this time, the second ball had been spit out of the mouth of the baseball machine, and then it was only half a second, and then the third, and then the fourth.

If you can't pass this level today, let alone fight with the skeleton, I'll explain it here first!

His heart was crossed, he no longer thought nonsense, and all his mental power was concentrated on the oncoming baseball.

"Devour!"

After adjusting his breathing, he stretched out his right hand, and the subtle energy body invisibly spread out, tearing open the opening of the abnormal space wherever he gestured.

A crack about a person high then emerged, and the first baseball fell into the range of the crack after crossing an aerial trajectory, disappearing out of thin air, and at the same time as all this was completed, the second baseball arrived, and smashed on An Yiran, who had no time to release the second crack.

Then the third and fourth baseballs whistled past, An Yiran raised his hand in pain, and before the crack was halfway formed, the two baseballs also smashed heavily on his forearm.

"The way you unleashed it was too wasteful, the target was such a small baseball, there was no need to create such a large rift, it was just a cost. ”

Lin Xiaojia pressed the pause button on the screen next to the transparent wall, and the humming of the baseball machine stopped for a while.

"But I've never tried to control the size!" An Yiran exhaled into his reddened forearm, which almost broke his arm in a few blows.

Since he awakened his ability, he never realized that there was such a thing as the ability to control, and the generation of rifts was always at his will, and the size of the rifts generated was basically random to fate.

Although he still didn't seem to understand Lin Xiaojia's words, a new idea gradually emerged in his mind.

"Isn't it just a trial now? She cut off the microphone again and pressed the start button.

Not giving An Yiran too much time to react, allowing him to stimulate his inner potential in extreme situations is also one of the strategies they discussed, so in addition to the necessary reminders, she needs to remain silent in most situations.

The machine started to work again, and An Yiran, who heard the sound of the machine running, ignored the injuries on his hands and focused his attention on the firing ports of the three baseball machines. There were three more bangs, and three more baseballs erupted from the muzzle of the gun.

An Yiran raised his hand in front of him, and the shape of a baseball appeared in his mind. It is about 7.5 cm in diameter and is spherical.

If the diameter is 7.5 cm, it will take about 10 cm.

His mind kept repeating the description of the baseball's shape, and the waves poured out of his hand, and the space in front of him began to distort again, and a crack much smaller than the previous one appeared, blocking the baseball's trajectory.

It was the first time he had succeeded in creating such a small area of the rift, the smallest of which was about fifty centimeters in the past, but this time it was only fifteen centimeters.

The spawn time has also been greatly improved compared to before, and sure enough, the trick to his ability operation is to observe it to the extreme!

The first success gave him enough time to focus on the second baseball, and with his left hand raised, another small fissure formed in the opposite orbit with the precise calculations in his head, and the two flying baseballs were swallowed up.

However, when the third ball arrived, he didn't have enough time to react, but he still managed to lower his body as far back as he could, and when the baseball was about to fly over his head, he opened a third crack less than five centimeters from the tip of his nose, engulfing the flying orb.

Seeing his overstretched appearance, Lin Xiaojia couldn't help but want to laugh a little, as an instructor, it was better for him to be serious.

Although it was still slow and clumsy, Lin Xiaojia was satisfied with this attempt, and she raised her hand to turn on the microphone again.

"Okay, then I'm going to keep the baseball machine out of the ball, there's no buffer time, focus. ”

She pressed the automatic button on the screen, and the baseball machine began to work at a constant speed, and every few seconds or so, it would spit out a baseball with different ballistics on time, and the three baseball machines were like three professional sparring partners, tirelessly shooting baseballs at An Yiran.

The buzzing machine was like a giant beast eager to try, and An Yiran couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Old Zhang Cheng doesn't lie to me... ”
