Chapter 9: Awakening beyond the flames
"Team, captain?" VLS, who witnessed all this, couldn't believe his eyes, "You, you defeated RBS?" ”
BIA turned around and nodded slightly: "Well, I guess I won." ”
"How did you do that? You couldn't have hurt him with an arrow! "GWL isn't as calm as it usually is.
Obviously, this was beyond his comprehension.
"Well done! Captain! Finally let that guy suffer for a while! SQE excitedly trotted all the way back to the crowd.
But then, a strange voice came from the solid ice that sealed the RBS.
Only then did the four of them turn their attention back to RBS.
And under the translucent ice, RBS's heavy sword emitted a dazzling red light.
Immediately afterward, countless cracks were covered with ice, and in the blink of an eye, they were completely shattered.
RBS was steaming, holding a flaming heavy sword, and slowly turned to look at the four.
"It's good, it finally feels like I'm fighting." RBS said.
Subsequently, the epee in the hands of RBS seemed to burn even more vigorously.
The four of them began to look nervous.
They had witnessed the terrifying posture of the RBS when they used energy to attack, and they knew that they would not be able to block that attack.
"That's it. Codenamed RBS, stop the attack. Test Team 0-1 This concludes today's training. The bastard stopped it on the radio in time.
The moment the order was received, the flames on the heavy sword of the RBS slowly extinguished.
"Understood." RBS said, and then slowly walked through the relieved four people to his carrying compartment.
——
Half an hour later.
The four people who "escaped death" enjoyed this hard-won "vacation" in a dessert shop in the commercial area.
Li Moxin, who was the happiest, lifted the cold soda and drank it all: "Ah! It was so comfortable! ”
"How? Isn't it nice that I wasn't beaten so badly today? Zhao Zihan mocked as he scooped out a piece of blueberry pudding with a spoon and put it in his mouth.
"Please, my position is 'guard'. It is necessary to be beaten for your companions! Li Moxin put the cup back on the table and shot back.
And the moment the empty cup touched the table, there was a bubbling colorless soda.
"Oh? Is it? It seems that every time you are beaten, it is caused by yourself rushing forward, which time is it like what you said? Zhao Zihan ruthlessly debunked.
"You guy!" Li Moxin's dissatisfaction also arose with Zhao Zihan's ridicule.
Xu Linfeng, who was holding coffee, had helplessness written on his face: "Alas, these two guys are arguing again." ”
"Well, it's a good relationship." Shangguan Jing scooped up a piece of pudding and was about to deliver it to his mouth.
"Who's in a good relationship with him (her)!" The two people who were discussed shouted at Shangguan Jing together.
Shangguan Jing was so frightened that the pudding on the spoon also fell on her team uniform.
"Oh, oh no!" Shangguan Jing hurriedly put down the spoon and took out a handkerchief to wipe the pudding that had fallen on his chest.
When she cleaned up and looked up again, the expressions on the faces of the other three people looked at her a little strangely.
"What, what's wrong?" Shangguan Jing asked a little embarrassed.
"Speaking of which, it seems that the captain defeated RBS today, so we can end the training early, right?" Zhao Zihan said.
"Huh?" Shangguan Jing didn't know how to answer.
"Well, that's right. Because we have never beaten him before, it should be because of Shangguan that we can end the training this time. Xu Linfeng analyzed.
"Lin Feng!" Shangguan Jing was obviously very dissatisfied with Xu Linfeng's words.
"Captain! Tell us how you did it! Li Moxin excitedly propped up the table with his hands and stood up.
Shangguan Jing felt the embarrassment she had never felt before for a while, and then after a simple ideological struggle, she still decided to confess to everyone.
"Actually, it's not as mysterious as you think." Shangguan Jing explained, "Just believe that your own essence is Ark. ”
However, the three of them showed with silence and blank expressions that they did not understand.
So, Shangguan Jing patiently relayed what Bai Qi said to her yesterday to the three of them as completely as possible, which barely made them understand what it meant to "regard one's own body as Ark".
"So I was thinking, this should be a big reason why RBS is so strong." Shangguan Jing finally elaborated on his conclusion, "Although many of his behaviors are completely unreasonable from a human point of view, if you consider it from the perspective of a mechanical body, his behavior is perfectly normal. ”
"The Captain! Did you feel anything at that time? It's like, feeling like the energy in your body is bursting or something? Li Moxin asked excitedly.
Shangguan Jing thought about it carefully, but finally replied regretfully: "Actually, I didn't feel anything, because I didn't have any superfluous thoughts at that time, I just thought about how to defeat RBS, and I don't remember the rest at all." ”
"Well, in a sense, you should have been pretty close to RBS, right?" Xu Linfeng asked.
Shangguan Jing thought for a moment and said, "It should be, because there are almost no superfluous thoughts at all, just wanting to defeat the enemy in front of you."
But when you say that, I really feel like RBS. ”
"Liar." Zhao Zihan couldn't help but feel a little afraid, "That means if we want to become stronger, we have to become like that monster?" I don't want ......"
"Cut, coward." Li Moxin took the opportunity to mock: "Didn't the captain already win RBS once today?" Isn't that not exactly what it is? ”
"In fact, strictly speaking, Shangguan did not win RBS." Xu Linfeng analyzed.
"Hey, hey! Don't turn your elbows out at this time! Winning is winning, what's 'strict' and not 'strict'. Li Moxin said to Xu Linfeng a little irritably.
"Didn't you notice?" Xu Linfeng explained: "Shangguan used energy to attack in the end to freeze the RBS, but from the beginning to the time the RBS was frozen, did he use a little attack energy?" ”
The four fell silent.
Xu Linfeng continued: "Don't forget that RBS annihilated nearly a hundred Leviathans with a single blow, and he deliberately left us a sufficient number of Leviathans to complete the task at that time.
You can imagine that such a terrible blow was within his control, if he wanted to break the cauldron like Shangguan today, how terrible it would be! ”
"It's true that we can't be as fully committed as he was." Shangguan Jing suddenly said as if he had figured out something: "But we are human!" If we are all like him, then what is the meaning of being human? ”
Xu Linfeng, who was still a little worried just now, also showed a relieved smile at this time: "That's what I said." And after all, we're a team now, and we can help each other even if we can't be as strong as RBS. ”
"Sure enough, Brother Lin Feng is more mature than a guy who wants to be a hero every day." Zhao Zihan said deliberately sarcastically.
"The captain is indeed much gentler than a megalomaniac." Li Moxin fought back.
"Hey, don't you two take me with you?" Shangguan Jing said helplessly.
Suddenly, several "Didi" sounds came from Shangguan Jing's communicator.
Shangguan Jing took off the communicator from her waist and opened the text message.
A pale blue holographic projection screen also appeared in front of her.
"Ahh After reading the message, Shangguan Jing suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong, Captain?" Li Moxin asked anxiously.
Zhao Zihan and Xu Linfeng were also nervous.
"Mix, Mix Kun said, from today on, except for special circumstances, we no longer need to conduct special training, and we are also given the permission to use the No. 4 training room freely." Shangguan Jing said as much as possible to suppress the excitement in her heart.
After hearing the news, the three of them were stunned for a few seconds, but when they reacted, they all cheered: "Great! ”
At the same time, it also scared other customers of the dessert shop.
——
At the same time, Bai Qi, who had received the same text message, was silently leaning against a corner somewhere.
After reading the newsletter, he walked out of the shadows and came to a large acrylic window.
This is an observation deck that only a few people know about, and Bai Qi also discovered this place when he returned to his dormitory from Gnaku.
Because there are not many people here, this is also his favorite place to stay.
There is no human light here, but it is not dark.
Because outside this window, it is the earth that emits a charming blue light.
But such a view did not shake Bai Qi's cold heart in the slightest.
For him, this blue planet is just a battlefield for him to fight.
Just then, his all-nighter sounded again.
He picked up the communicator and opened the text message again.
"Bai Qi, I have already told my superiors that you like to eat ice cream cones, and your superiors have also approved that you can apply for food at any time, so enjoy it.
- Su Linxuan ( ́•ω•)ノ(._.')"
Then, Bai Qi clumsily typed in the reply message.
"Apply to eat it once."
SMS sent out.
Then he left.
——
One a.m. in the eighth eastern part of the Earth.
Shangguan Jing, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
Her mind is now full of thoughts about the day and RBS, and even in her dreams, and that scene is still being replayed.
Then, she sat up, changed into her team uniform, and prepared to go out for a walk.
But although I wanted to stop myself from thinking about those things by distracting myself, the more I didn't think about it now, the more I couldn't think about it.
In this way, she unconsciously walked to a huge acrylic window in her entanglement.
There is not a trace of artificial light here, only the blue light reflected from the beautiful earth illuminates the place.
Shangguan Jing looked at this fascinating planet and couldn't help but keep making a "wow" sound.
It was at this time that she secretly decided that she must come here often in the future to see this beautiful planet.
