Chapter 33: Encounter
Yan Hua took the teacher card that Chen Shui handed over to him and came directly to the center of the training room, looking curiously at the huge instrument in front of him that stood on the ground like a pillar and reached the ceiling.
Yan Hua looked at the instrument in front of him from top to bottom, and the first thing he observed was the sealed glass column in the upper part of the instrument, which resembled a culture chamber.
The light blue combat simulation potion in the cultivation chamber had been depleted, leaving only a section of twisted roots that had been slightly wrinkled and swollen from long-term immersion in water hanging weakly in the air, and rows of slender and dense roots hung motionless along the main body of the roots, until they fell to the bottom before they were listlessly piled together.
The wrinkled bark and the long whiskers make this root feel like a wrinkled old man with a wrinkled face and a beard dragging to the ground, without a little life.
Somehow, Yan Hua looked at the memory mangrove root in front of him, and suddenly felt a little pitiful.
"It's just a tree root, and it's not an alien beast, where can there be so many emotional expressions?" Yan Hua shook his head and said to himself, "It seems that what the teacher said is really right, I should indeed go out for a walk, although high-intensity training can quickly strengthen my strength, but the pressure on the spirit is also extraordinarily great." ”
Yan Hua expelled the previous feeling from his mind, thinking that it must be because he had used too many battle simulation potions in the past half a month, so he had such an illusion. I decided to wait a while to see the Cambrian high-tech and then go out for a casual walk.
Yan Hua didn't think about it anymore, and then looked at the roots of the mangrove tree, and sure enough, he didn't have the strange feeling he had before.
The line of sight gradually follows the part where the glass pillar meets the metal to the worktop, and the dense buttons cover the entire countertop.
Fortunately, the labels above these buttons are all in Chinese, although some annotations have to be abbreviated because of the limited space on the countertop, but Yan Hua can probably figure out the meaning with his experience and insight in the laboratory for many years.
On the top right side of the console is a thin slit of about five centimeters, Yan Hua took a look and knew that this must be the place where the card is inserted.
Inserting the teacher card that Chen Shui left for himself in his hand into the socket, the buttons on the console really lit up, and it was obviously already activated.
Yan Hua looked at the activated instrument, and couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart, but thinking that he was not familiar with the principle of this instrument, he didn't watch when Chen Shui used the instrument to release the combat simulation potion before, and he really lacked the corresponding operation experience, so he had to give up.
can see but not touch, Yan Hua's feeling is quite uncomfortable.
In order to suppress the restlessness in his heart, Yan Hua had to force himself to take his eyes off the button on the operating table, and reached out to pinch the back half of the exposed teacher's card, wanting to take out Chen Shui's teacher's card.
Yan Hua twitched his hand casually, and his feet, which had already begun to be raised towards the training room, were fixed in mid-air.
"Didn't pull it out?" Yan Hua looked at the teacher's card inserted in the socket and felt a little surprised.
Yan Hua didn't believe it and increased his strength a little, but the teacher card was like growing on the operating table, and no matter how hard Yan Hua tried, he couldn't pull it outward.
Yan Hua didn't dare to try again, for fear that forcibly pulling out the teacher's card would cause the loss of documents and instruments, but he had a new idea: "Maybe it's what button you have to press to release the teacher's card." ”
Thinking that the card reader of this instrument might need to be manually operated to spit out the teacher's card, Yan Hua began to carefully search around the socket, hoping to find the relevant buttons.
This search really allowed Yan Hua to find a few buttons that might be useful, but Yan Hua couldn't help but feel difficult when he looked at the two buttons in front of him marked with the words "Release" and "Release", and he didn't know which one was the option to return the card.
"According to what the teacher said before, if this release button is used to spray the potion, then it will directly release a combat simulation potion, which is equivalent to the strength of the sixth grade." Yan Hua thought of what Chen Shui had said before, and originally didn't want to take the risk, but after looking up and seeing the empty cultivation warehouse behind him, he changed his mind again.
Yan Hua decided to use the elimination method to solve the problem in front of him: "There should be two possibilities for release, one is to release the combat simulation potion, and the other should be to release the locked teacher card and release it." But now that the potions in the cultivation chamber have been completely depleted, even if my conjecture is wrong, there should be no risk. ”
"If I press this button first, not only is there no risk, but it also helps me eliminate an option." Yan Hua put his hand on the button marked "release", and after thinking about it, he pressed it.
A sprayer probe probed from the top of the training ground, as if it was going to spray some liquid, but until ten seconds passed, there was still no movement, and it had to return to a dark grid in the ceiling.
"It seems that this button is indeed used to release the potion, and it seems that this should be the correct button to unlock it." Yan Hua turned his gaze to another button marked "Cancel", pressed it without hesitation, and then directly clamped the teacher card in the upper right corner and was about to pull it out.
But to Yan Hua's surprise, Chen Shui's teacher card still did not move at all, but there was a smooth friction sound above Yan Hua's head.
Yan Hua followed the prestige and found that the glass pillar that was originally used to hold the aerial roots of the memory mangrove tree had somehow slipped down, completely exposing the entire bent and knotted root to the air.
"That lifting doesn't mean unlocking, it's unlocking." Yan Hua looked at the changes in front of him and knew that he had made a mistake, "It turned out that it was just an empty joy." ”
Yan Hua didn't care about his mistakes, the cultivation warehouse was opened, and it just rose again. It's just that Yan Hua has one more button to look for at this time, so it becomes a little difficult to find it.
Just as Yan Hua buried his head and continued to look for the button to re-close the cultivation chamber and unlock the card, the root of the tree exposed to the air seemed to shake slightly, and then a small piece of thin whisker silently broke off from the root and landed on Yan Hua's hair.
"Hah! Got it! Yan Hua looked at the two buttons he had newly found marked "Unlock" and "Upgrade" and said in surprise, not noticing the strangeness above his head.
Yan Hua found the right one this time, as the two buttons were pressed, Chen Shui's teacher card automatically popped out of the card reading socket, and the originally fallen cultivation compartment slowly rose and returned to its original state.
Not daring to touch other buttons again, Yan Hua, who was also addicted, put away his teacher card and walked towards the training room with satisfaction, ready to go out for a walk. And the tiny roots that originally fell on Yan Hua's head slowly penetrated into the hair with the shaking, and were gradually completely covered by Yan Hua's hair.
"Whew!" Yan Hua used the teacher's card left by Chen Shui to leave the combat training room, which looked like the Colosseum, looking at the lush vegetation outside that was still green even in the cold winter, and felt that his spirit was really relaxed a lot.
What surprised Yan Hua even more was that because of the soothing mood, Yan Hua was originally able to reduce the meditation time to five minutes after a long battle, but the bottleneck that was stuck later seemed to have loosened a lot at this time.
"It seems that the combination of work and rest really makes sense." Yan Hua stretched, and then walked in one direction, wanting to take advantage of the rare opportunity to completely ease his tense emotions.
Yan Hua didn't go too far, but wandered along the tall outer wall of the combat training room, but he didn't want to meet an unexpected person around the corner.
The people who came were in a hurry, and they looked left and right all the way as if they were looking for something, so they didn't look at the road well, and almost bumped into Yan Hua.
"Is that you?" Yan Hua turned sideways in time to avoid the comer, looked at the face of the yin owl passing in front of him, and couldn't help but cry out.
"Huh?" The person who came obviously didn't expect to meet someone here, let alone that the other party still knew him, so he couldn't help frowning when he heard this. After seeing Yan Hua's appearance clearly, the expression on his face suddenly sank.
Yan Hua looked at Yin Yu, who was standing still, and saluted: "Teacher Yin is good!" ”
didn't expect Yan Hua to take the initiative to salute him, Yin Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he had just recognized Yan Hua, and said in a rather surprised tone, "It turned out to be classmate Yan Hua, what?" Isn't Chen Shui with you? ”
Yan Hua knew that there was a contradiction between Yin Shu and his teacher Chen Shui, and it stands to reason that as a disciple of Chen Shui, he should hide as far as he could when he saw Yin Shui.
However, combined with the title and attitude of Teacher Pei towards Yin Huo when he first entered the senior school district, as well as the relationship between his own teacher and Teacher Pei's brother and sister, after having a faint guess about Yin Huo's identity, Yan Hua couldn't turn a blind eye to Yin Huo.
Hearing Yin Shu's address to Chen Shui, Yan Hua's attitude was even more respectful, and he replied honestly: "The teacher has something to deal with, so let me out to move freely." ”
Yin Yu obviously didn't expect Yan Hua to really answer him, the expression on his face couldn't help but stiffen, and it took a while to recover his gloomy face, and he asked indifferently: "So what's the matter with Yan Hua's sudden call to me?" ”
"Well, the student looked at Teacher Yin as if he was looking for something, so he wanted to ask if there was anything I could help with." Of course, Yan Hua would not say the real reason, but Yin Shu's action just now gave him a ready-made reason.
"No, it's just that a lab was lost in the lab." Yin Yu did not hesitate to refuse Yan Hua's kindness, but this time his tone was much slower, "This is my business, and I don't need others to interfere." ”
Yin Huo's attitude towards Yan Hua eased slightly, but after Yan Hua heard Yin Huo say that he had lost the experimental object, he felt like a man's back, and couldn't help asking, "It's the Shadow Dragon again?" ”
"Hmm." Yin Yu didn't seem to want to talk to Yan Hua anymore, so he just snorted lightly and left, leaving only Yan Hua still standing in place.
There's a Shadow Dragon lurking near the combat training room!
Yan Hua's scalp was numb by the news brought by Yin Shu, and then he thought that he couldn't wander around outside anymore, but he didn't expect that Yin Shu, who had turned to another fork in the road, suddenly said without looking back: "Go back."
"Yes." There is no need for Yin to be reminded, Yan Hua will not stay outside anymore.
Although he was caught off guard by Yin Yu's sudden concern, the fear of the Shadow Dragon had firmly occupied Yan Hua's heart at this time, so Yan Hua couldn't care about being polite to Yin Yu, who had already run away, and turned around and prepared to return to the training room along the same road.
But at the moment when Yan Hua just turned around, he suddenly felt an unprecedented crisis!
Yan Hua stood in place and didn't dare to move, the hairs on his body stood up, his pupils were dilated to the limit, as if even the blood was frozen, and a drop of cold sweat slowly slid down his forehead, but Yan Hua didn't even dare to reach out to wipe it.
Yan Hua had already realized what was happening: "I had an encounter with the Shadow Dragon that escaped from the laboratory, and its target was itself!" ”
