Tom's figure kept appearing and disappearing in the room, like a smooth film that flickered and flickered, like a slideshow.

The weapons in his hands are constantly changing, and even no longer limited to weapons, all kinds of wonderful creations appear around him, pitch-black battle axes, steel armor, wings that shine with white light, and even ...... Another Tom.

This time, even the color of these conjured things is exactly the same as the "real thing", and it is impossible to distinguish the real thing from the fake with the naked eye.

Perhaps, that was the case in the first place? Just like Tom now.

Charlie's eyes widened, and he was completely speechless in shock, Tom's ability now is exactly the same as the ability of the previous ghost soldiers, no, it even exceeds the limit of what the previous ghost soldiers can do, if this is not some kind of magic trick, blinding, I'm afraid it is really as he said, this is the ability of the real ghost soldier!

But this is no longer an ability that relies on tactical helmets, special stealth combat suits, and fog orb weapons, but is entirely Tom's own.

This is terrifying, because such a Tom is no longer a human in high-tech equipment, but an anomaly with magical abilities.

This is no longer the ability of modern science to explain, but another system, another mystery, and perhaps another "science".

"You're ...... now. Is it a human or a ghost? ”

Charlie hesitated for a while, but still asked this sentence.

She is a more curious doer than an old brick who sticks to the rules, she pursues science, but also the truth, whether that truth can be explained by the current science or not.

Tom didn't know that Charlie had so many thoughts in his heart, and he replied without hesitation: "If you want to judge whether my heart beats or not, I am indeed not a living person, but if I want to say whether I am a ghost or not, I am not very sure myself." ”

Tom didn't hide that he himself really didn't understand his current "posture".

He doesn't know much about his current "self", and the reason why he can do it now is indispensable to the help of others, that is, the help of his good friend who has disappeared, but it is obviously impossible to say that that friend knows so much.

Charlie didn't speak, waiting for Tom to explain further, she could see that even if Tom didn't know about the current body, he must still know something, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get to this point without knowing anything.

"Actually, my good friend and I were chosen by the Ghost Soldier Project together."

After thinking about it, Tom decided to tell Charlie the truth.

In addition to the reason for secrecy, the main reason for concealing it before was that he didn't fully trust Charlie, and now Charlie not only saved his life, but also fulfilled the common wish of him and his friends.

In this case, Tom felt the need to tell Charlie all this, which could be regarded as the end of it.

"We enlisted in the army together, trained together, went to the battlefield together, experienced life and death together, we are comrades-in-arms who can block each other's guns, and we are brothers who can die for each other."

"I thought we would be discharged from the army together, maybe we would go back to Texas together to be a farmer, or maybe one person would die on the battlefield, and the rest would live well with the hope of another person, but I didn't expect God to play a joke on us......"

"The Ghost Soldier Project, as long as the best soldiers, and that friend of mine and I are the best soldiers."

"So of course, we were all 'lucky' to be chosen."

“…… And then there's the new world that crashes headlong into it. ”

Tom took a deep breath and looked at Charlie earnestly.

"We saw something completely beyond our imagination there, like something from a comic book came to life."

"Superpowers, aliens, futuristic technology, magic, everything that was originally just delusional suddenly appeared in front of us."

"The world has never been the same as we imagined, and there is an unimaginable weirdness and mystery hidden under the calm and ordinary."

"Can you imagine the horror of a little girl who looks no more than twelve years old and shatters an entire building with a wave of her hand?"

"We were shocked, and we were also confused, all the elite soldiers who were selected for the ghost soldier program were as powerless as babies in the face of those extraordinary powers."

"We don't even know why we want to join the army and why we want to train, because just from the video, we deeply understand that soldiers are meaningless in the face of those forces."

Tom recalled, and there was still complexity in his quiet tone.

“…… But it was also at that time that we were told about our 'mission' – the mission of the ghost soldiers. ”

"Protect our world as a ghost."

"They tell us that the world is not ready, and that once the truth is revealed, it will cause unimaginable panic, governments will disintegrate, order will collapse, and our world will become a delicacy on the table of aliens."

"So we have to take on the task of defending the world in that uncharted territory before the world is ready, without fear of sacrifice, even if it is not honored."

"Oh, so noble, yet so moving, we all believe it."

"Now that I think about it, we don't seem to be so loyal and patriotic, I'm afraid we fell for some trick at that time."

Tom shook his head, as if he couldn't remember the past.

"By the time we started wondering about all this, it was too late."

"We've seen too many weird things, we know too many secrets."

"We all know that the government won't let people like us go."

"But the main thing is that at that time we were already arming ourselves with some of the alien technologies that the so-called government cracked: stealth armor, liquid weapons, and so on."

"Familiar, that's the ghost agent's standard suit."

"It's not that no one doubted the true effect of those things before my friends and me, it's just that they weren't lucky......"

"But in the end, they are also our "pioneers", and it is because of their continuous experimentation that we can really determine the true use of these equipment."

"We've never really doubted the purpose of the Ghost Soldier Project, though."

"Until the 'disappearance' of my good friend."

"Just after an operation, my friend went missing...... It took me a lot of time to find his body, a body intact but with a head missing. ”

"Oh, there's that bead missing."

"I think you should understand that it wasn't a war death, and judging from my current condition, he must have been turned into a bead by someone."

"So I left because I didn't want to be a bead in someone's hand."

"That's all I know."

Charlie was silent for a moment, but shook his head.

"No, that's not all ......"

She looked Tom in the eye and asked, "You haven't told me about that homeless man yet." ”

"You, why are you interested in that homeless man?"
