The eighteenth round is about to begin

8 August 2008.

On this day, the whole country is eagerly watching the quadrennial sports event, and the enthusiasm that the people have accumulated for seven years is finally gradually released on this day. It was also on this day that Zhang Miao's mood was like a feather slowly falling into a thousand zhang ice cellar, and gradually began to tremble slightly. But Zhang Miao knew that this was not because anything touching and touching happened.

This tremor came from the fear in his heart!

At this time, Zhang Miao, under the leadership of Tomota, had already come to the fourth underground floor used for killer and agent training.

In an extremely dark and dim corridor, Tomota walked in front with a high-power flashlight in his hand, and Zhang Miao followed behind. Along the way, through the light of the flashlight, Zhang Miao found that on both sides of this road, every three meters, there will be a rusty iron door embedded in the wall.

Zhang Miao forgot how many iron gates he had counted, his only feeling was that he had already walked a long way, and inexplicably, Zhang Miao suddenly remembered the first Chinese character written on the wall that he saw in the nameless town a few days ago: "Those who fight monsters should be careful not to become monsters; When you stare into the abyss from afar, the abyss is staring at you. ”

He even had the illusion that this path was the only way to the abyss.

Finally, after Zhang Miao felt her calf muscles tense up a little, Tomota stopped in front of an iron door. By the light of the flashlight in Tomota's hand, Zhang Miao saw that there were several numbers engraved on the door: 7026.

This is Zhang Miao's number in the Assassination Alliance.

Tomota, who stopped, took out a key from his pocket, opened the iron door, and let Zhang Miao in. Then he stood at the door and said to Zhang Miao: "Number 7026, in the next three months from today, you will spend time in Bunker No. 38, and most of your activity space can only be on the fourth underground floor." ”

"In about ten minutes, someone will come and bring you some necessities. After half an hour, an instructor will come to talk to you. Now, please rest and prepare. ”

After Tomota finished speaking, he closed the iron door for Zhang Miao and left, without saying anything else the whole time.

At this time, Zhang Miao looked at the environment of room 7026.

A wooden bed without a mattress quilt, a slightly worn iron desk with a thick layer of dust on the top of the bed, and a small bathroom next to the desk. Moreover, opposite the iron door that Zhang Miao came in just now, there was also an iron door with a small window embedded in the wall. Overhead, there was an incandescent lamp hanging from the ceiling, also covered with a thin layer of ash. According to Zhang Miao's estimate, I am afraid that no one has lived in this room for at least seven or eight years.

Taking advantage of this free time, Zhang Miao decided to take out the Jiao picture box that was still in the backpack and study it.

He first took a deep breath and blew towards the tabletop, and the room quickly stirred up dust visible to the naked eye, Zhang Miao only felt that his eyes were gray, and even his breathing became uncomfortable. casually slapped it in front of him, which is better than nothing.

After putting the Jiao Picture Box and the mini transceiver in the backpack on the table, and then casually putting the backpack on the wooden bed, Zhang Miao sat on the edge of the bed, put the Jiao Picture Box in front of him, and looked at the box in a daze.

He didn't realize until now, he didn't know how to open this box at all!

No matter how Zhang Miao looked at it, there was no opening device on it that was similar to the lock he had usually seen, which made him very confused. It wasn't until ten minutes later that someone brought bed sheets, quilts, toiletries and two sets of clothes, and Zhang Miao didn't understand how to open the Jiao picture box.

Seeing that the daily necessities were all delivered, Zhang Miao simply put the Jiao picture box on the side of the table, and made the bed first, he was going to lie down for a while to recuperate. When Zhang Miao made the bed, he immediately turned around and wanted to get the toiletries on the table, but he didn't expect his elbow to hit the Jiaotu box and smashed it to the ground.

Who would have thought that after this Jiao picture box fell on the ground, the Jiao head lock was directly shaken open! Immediately afterwards, Zhang Miao heard a sound of breaking wind like a bow and arrow leaving the string, and then there was a crisp sound of iron hitting the wall.

When he reacted and looked down at the place where the Jiao Picture Box had fallen, he only saw the box that had been smashed open. More than 30 centimeters away from the mouth of the box, there is one that should have fallen out of the box, like the grip of a knife or sword.

"What the hell?" Zhang Miao picked up the handle and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look.

I saw that this grip, the whole is cylindrical and black, only slightly protruding about five millimeters from the grip in the knife position, and the grip is also painted with some kind of golden yellow paint/powder or other things to draw / make the coiling dragon pattern, it looks like a miniature version of the dragon pillar in the palace, but this grip is different from the dragon pillar in one point, that is, the material of the grip should be iron.

According to Zhang Miao's cognition, he didn't know what kind of steel would be black, so Zhang Miao looked at the handle in his hand for a while, put it on the table, and then bent down to pick up the Jiao Picture Box on the ground. At this time, Zhang Miao suddenly remembered the sharp sound of breaking the air and the sound of iron products hitting the wall when the Jiao Picture Box fell to the ground just now, and it was obvious that something was shooting out of the box.

Zhang Miao's hand that had just been placed on the Jiao Picture Box immediately retracted, and then compared to the angle of the opening of the Jiao Picture Box, and observed the angle range. If the thing that made the sound was launched from the box at a straight angle, it must have been smashed/nailed/embedded in the wall in the end.

Turning on the switch of the incandescent lamp, Zhang Miao searched for it by the light, and finally under the bed near the end of the bed, Zhang Miao found an iron object shaped like a straw. The bronze-colored object with an empty center was nailed to the wall.

Zhang Miao's mind instantly made up a picture, this hidden weapon shot directly into his face the moment the box was opened, and it must be a vital part, and then gurgling blood flowed out of the hole in the middle of the hidden weapon, if this hidden weapon was still contaminated with some deadly poison......

No matter what the situation is, Zhang Miao thinks that she definitely has no chance of surviving!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Miao felt deep awe of the designers and makers of this box, and he also secretly decided in his heart that he would never provoke those craftsmen in the future. If they want to harm people, they just need to make something and put some hidden weapons in it, and take people's lives, without going directly through their own hands.

As for the Jiaotu box that had been opened, Zhang Miao didn't dare to touch it again, and was ready to let someone come and help take it away. And now, Zhang Miao, who has nothing to do, can only lie in bed and wait for the upcoming conversation.

August 8, 4:37 p.m.

On the fourth basement floor of Bunker No. 38, on the other side of the corridor, behind the iron door with small windows in room 7026, there is also another corridor, which is now called "Corridor No. 2".

In this No. 2 corridor, there are not rooms on both sides like the No. 1 corridor, but only one side has rooms. At the end of the second corridor, there is a glass door, through which you can see two people sitting at a desk, as if chatting about something.

One of these people was the one who sent Zhang Miao to the Tomota on the fourth floor of the basement! Facing him was a man with white hair and beard but an extremely tough face, and looking at his body, he was wearing a set of standard camouflage uniforms that only the army would equip!

"Instructor Xing Lei, I have to say that every time I see that scar on your face, I feel a little scared." Tomotta had a gentlemanly smile on his face, and his tone seemed to be full of sarcasm because of the smile.

“……”

"Hey, Instructor Xing Lei, why are you so silent every time I communicate with you? You're embarrassing to me like that. Tomotta said he had a headache, and he could talk to whoever he talked to. But there are only two people, Tomotta will never be able to take advantage of words, one is the instructor in front of him, and the other is number 528, who has been put on the wanted list of the Alliance.

“…… I don't want to be like number 528. Xing Lei's tone was cold, and even the eyes that looked at Tomota revealed the indifference of looking at a dead person.

Tomotta rolled his eyes, of course he understood what Xing Lei meant, now the killer team, the secret agent team, the technical department of the whole alliance, and even including the internal handymen, all thought that No. 528 was wanted by the alliance after killing three handymen. And Tomota also saw from Xing Lei's tone and eyes that if he chatted like this seriously, he was afraid that he would be pressed to the ground and rubbed on the ground by the killers and agents in front of him as "the man closest to the devil", and then smeared his intestines and brains all over the ground.

Tomota coughed twice and said helplessly, "Well, it's routine for me to come here anyway. Today, I sent a young man who was specially recruited by the alliance, and the information is here, so you can see for yourself later. ”

Xing Lei nodded, signaling that he knew, and said without any emotion: "...... Let's go. ”

Tomota shrugged his shoulders, and the emotionless person in front of him, he really didn't have much interest in teasing, but when he was about to push open the glass door, Tomota suddenly turned his head and said: "This specially recruited young man was sent to Bunker No. 7 before No. 528 was wanted, and then transferred to Bunker No. 38." This is not available in the information. ”

After speaking, regardless of whether Xing Lei would respond, Tomotta pushed open the glass door and left, he had to go back to see if the American chef in the back kitchen was using inferior milk to make peanuts again.

This loser thing, peanuts that can be made by just sprinkling a few grains of salt, must have a conscience......

It is not necessarily that this American guy asked his conscience when he chopped his wife into pieces of meat and then made it into broth for customers to eat!

As for Xing Lei, when he heard Tomota's last words before leaving, he unconsciously touched the only scar on his face, looked at the two-inch color print with Zhang Miao's face on the information in front of him, and muttered a few words in his mouth.

If you get closer and listen carefully, you can clearly hear the words Xing Lei spit out: "Ready to start, little cub!" ”
