Huo Deming, the teenager who witnessed the take-off of the Norbelinde Military Academy when he was a student, is now also presiding over the affairs of the school. At that time, he was studying investigation and intelligence, and during his internship, he was fortunate to be in the eyes of Zhao Hongyi because of the investigation of a virus infection case, and was "adjusted" by President Zhao for a month, and that month was in Huo Deming's words: a painful process, a huge gain.

Huo Deming sat at his desk, took out the letter again, and read it several times, while also staring at the quaint clock carved from quartz on the right side of the desk. The knock sounded again, this was the third knock, each time only three knocks, one second, every 10 minutes, no more, no less, not fast, not slow, the time was unbelievably accurate.

Ignoring the person who knocked on the door, as a former high-achieving student of the Norbelinde Military Academy who graduated from reconnaissance and intelligence, how to confirm the authenticity of a thing, Huo Deming admitted that he had learned a little from the old principal, and there should not be many people who wanted to deceive him.

When the seventeenth stroke was struck, Huo Deming received three electronic reports at the same time, a letter material inspection report, an ink carbonization report, and a report on the authenticity of the seal of the Northern Army Department.

After reading all the identification data, Huo Deming took a long breath, this letter is true!

And more importantly, the title of "son-in-law" mentioned in the letter. Others don't know Zhao Hongyi's true identity, but Huo Deming understands it very well in his heart, the word son-in-law, that is...... A recognition of an extremely prominent status, what does the old headmaster mean?

When he knocked on the twenty-first time, Huo Deming stood up and opened the office door.

The door opened slowly, the beautiful sun had already risen to the top, and the shabby military uniform showed a bit of military style under the scorching sun, Huo Deming looked at the young man in front of him, the first feeling was one word, steady, and then stared at it carefully, only to feel a chill in his bones for no reason, so there was a second word in his impression, cold.

Huo Deming couldn't see a trace of irritability in the young man's expression, no, it should be said that he couldn't see a trace of expression. Even though the young man stood outside the door for nearly three hours, Huo Deming wanted to find a trace from the young man's expression, but in the face of the young man in front of him, the young man who was favored by the old principal suddenly felt that he had lost a little confidence, and for some reason, Huo Deming looked at the young man in front of him in a trance several times, as if he was facing an extremely dangerous, cunning, and fierce animal.

This is a very difficult person to mess with,

Such people tend to be very well-behaved.

……

"Sit" Huo Deming returned to his position, motioned to the young man to sit on the sofa opposite with one hand and said, "Drink tea"

The young man sat on the sofa in a regular manner, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip and put it back again, without making any sound. He glanced at the shadow next to the bookshelf in his office on the left, and then returned to his usual sitting position.

Huo Deming smiled, and asked casually like a kind elder:

"I've read the letter of recommendation, and I have some doubts about your introduction, so I asked you to ask, the Independent Regiment of the Northern Army, where you served before"

"Yes."

"Have you read before?"

"Nope."

"Do you know about Norbelinde Military Academy?"

"I don't know."

"Then why come here to study?"

"Military directive."

"The resume says you fought in the Battle of Black Crane Ling and the Battle of Cape Toom?"

"Yes."

"I don't know about the Battle of Black Heling, but the five battalions of the 3rd Brigade of the 72nd Regiment who participated in the Battle of Cape Tum were completely wiped out, why are you still alive?"

"I'm sorry, that's beyond my purview."

"Oh? What about the Battle of Black Crane Ling? ”

"I'm sorry, but this question is also beyond my authority to answer."

"It's okay, I'll just ask."

……

Lin Qianhua's extremely concise answer did not disgust Huo Deming, for Huo Deming, the content of the answer is not important, the important thing is the way of answering. No matter from the tone, words, expressions and reactions, it is indeed the style of the old principal, this legendary headmaster who looks a little bitter and a little evil, but he is notoriously iron-blooded and arrogant, and whether it is a student or a soldier he has cultivated, there is a sense of arrogance. And the arrogant young man in front of him, at least for now, didn't let Huo Deming see the flaws.

"Okay, although there is a recommendation from the military department, but the school rules set by the old principal of the Norbelinde Military Academy cannot be broken, and there is also a place for a cleaner in the prime engine laboratory, you can go there for the time being, and you can pass the internal assessment of the military academy next year before you can become an official school cadet, of course, during your free time, you can go to the school public class to listen to lectures. Is there a problem? ”

"Nope."

"Well, you prepare well, if there is anything unclear, you can ask Instructor Cao, it is the kid who received you."

"Okay" Lin Qianhua got up, gave a standard military salute to Huo Deming, and when he turned to leave, he added:

"Thank you."

……

No matter how far the times develop, the rich and the poor and the classes can never be eliminated, which is both the need of order and the necessity of human nature; The city of Catenil, where the Norbelinde Military Academy is located, is an important administrative center city of the Federation, and it is also the star capital of the planet Carter, which is one of the typical 36 star capital cities of the Federation with clear classes and a huge gap between the rich and the poor.

The Saigon area of Catnier City is dominated by immigrants and immigrants, and the security and environment are not satisfactory. Most of the buildings are 100 years old, and the facilities are old and badly damaged. Basic supplies are also chronically underrestocked, making it a typical impoverished area in the city of Catennial. The construction of the Moringe Wall marks a high level of surveillance by the City of Catennial over the district. If you want to enter and leave the area, you need to go through a strict audit.

Lin Qianhua lost his childhood memories, as if he had grown into his twenties overnight, and then was abandoned in Saigonhua District, where he was adopted by an old man surnamed Qin who repaired aerial glider ships.

Coming back from the Norbelinde Military Academy, Lin Qianhua has always felt that this is not real, the reality of the situation and the previous dreamlike experience, like a roller coaster ride from hell to heaven, as a teenager in the slums, to be able to study and live at the Norbelinde Military Academy, it makes people's blood boil to think about it. At this moment, Lin Qianhua's heart was beating fast, partly from excitement and joy, but partly from a trace of inexplicable fear hidden deep in his heart.

It's just a well-planned hoax!

Lin Qianhua didn't even know how he got out of the school, from the moment he entered the school gate, it was not his consciousness that controlled the body, but the disgusting "corrosive monster" in his body was manipulating the body, he just answered a few questions and said a few words according to the requirements of the "corrosive monster......

But miracles did happen...... He was really hired by the Norbelinde Military Academy, albeit only as a cleaner.

After passing the review of the Molin Golee Wall checkpoint, Lin Qianhua, who walked home, opened the door of his room at ten o'clock in the evening, and at this time, his adoptive father, Old Man Qin, should have climbed on a certain slut with heavy makeup to vent his sexual desire. On the west side of the room, by the window, there is an iron desk made of waste machine tools, a complicated gear set is inlaid in the upper right of the desktop, and a pot of ferns similar to "predatory grass" is placed on it very incongruously, this pot of plants shaped like upside-down gourds has accompanied Lin Qianhua for five years, and the old man Qin told him: When the old man Qin scooped him up in the waste pond of the Velimader Wharf, he was no different from a skeleton, even if he was unconscious, he was holding on to this strange plant.

Five years ago, this pot of ferns resembling "predatory grasses" had four leaf-curling balls that looked like upside-down gourds, and in five years, a new leaf-curling ball similar to them had grown. And now this potted plant has only the last newly grown leaf bulb left.

This is the last leaf ball to curl up, and the excitement in Lin Qianhua's heart disappeared when he thought of it. Because of anxiety, the legs and feet instinctively twitched, and the inexplicable fear hidden in the heart became more and more intense, and less than four hours were about to be completed today, and the three things that the disgusting corrosive monster promised, free access to the forbidden area; Admission to the Norbelinde Military Academy; This pot of ferns will grow a young leaf today. Now it seems that the first two things have been achieved, but the third thing is what Lin Qianhua wants to happen the most, because it is related to his life.

Lin Qianhua has had a series of strange symptoms in his body since he was adopted by Old Man Qin, especially the periodic malignant disorderly growth of tumors that made him feel painful, and about every year or so, there would be an outbreak of illness, which is also strange to say, Old Man Qin found many people to help him check, but there was still no result, and the irritable and bloodthirsty Old Man Qin sent them to see the King of Hades in a fit of anger. And this pot of unsightly ferns can inhibit the deterioration of Lin Qianhua's lesions, and Lin Qianhua will take a leaf curl ball every time the symptoms occur, it can be said that this strange plant is the key to Lin Qianhua's life, and now there is only one left. At its normal growth rate, it would take about 4 years for it to grow again, and if it was true today, as the corrosive monster said, it would undoubtedly live another year.

But the more this happened, the more Lin Qianhua felt the horror of the unknown parasite in his body.

Lin Qianhua looked at the room on the west side of the repair yard that was still lit, and a slender figure hit the glass window, Lin Qianhua hoped that he could live a little longer.

As for the encounter with this corrosive monster, it has to start from two months ago......

Go back to more than two months ago...... June 2, rain

During the rainy season, the city of Catniel has almost no interruption of light rain, and it is also the best time to fish. Poor people who make a living from fishing take advantage of the rainy season, which is less than two months old, to go out to sea. Lin Qianhua clearly remembered that the rain was particularly heavy, and many sea fish swam to the surface of the water, and Lin Qianhua, who often fished at the Velimadel Pier, pulled out a half-inch square piece of wood from the mouth of a two-foot-long spinetail fish, and the wood chip was covered with black viscous pollutants, through which he could barely see a human figure carved on the wood chip. At that time, Lin Qianhua didn't care, it was very common for floating objects like this to be sucked into the bodies of marine animals, although the federal government was vigorously promoting the protection of the marine animal environment, but in this damn place, who would pay attention to those things, for Lin Qianhua, it was all people who were full of food and nothing to do did not care about the situation of their own kind, but worried about the quality of life of creatures under the human food chain, it was simply unreasonable.

The removed wood chips emitted a faint fragrance, this fragrance dispelled Lin Qianhua's idea of discarding it, this smell Lin Qianhua had never smelled, but inhaling a trace of inexplicable excitement from the pituitary gland behind the lungs made Lin Qianhua vaguely have a certain familiar feeling, this feeling seemed familiar, but it couldn't grasp the source of its memory, it was more of an instinctive memory of the body's senses.

Anything that can make him feel familiar makes Lin Qianhua feel precious, just like the strange fern pot on the table, Lin Qianhua made a simple square pendant out of black iron, inlaid the wood chips in the pendant, and carried it with him, he also tried to clean the surface of the wood chips, but to no avail.

However, at the moment when Lin Qianhua hung the pendant around his neck, the pollutants that could not be cleaned off the surface of the wood chips automatically began to slowly gather together, condensed into a drop of dark green viscous liquid substance from the surface of the wood carving, and quietly penetrated into the skin on Lin Qianhua's chest......
