Entering the room on the left side of the two-story building, Liu Qingran said, "Sister Zhang, I'll bring someone to do the grading test." "I saw that the innermost part of this room was a row of locked iron cabinets, which looked like filing cabinets. Then there are the two desks on the left and right against the wall, with the aisle in the middle, and two women using them. Further outside, there was a chest-high platform that completely cut off the office area, and now Liu Qingran and I were standing outside the partition.

"Yo! It's Xiao Liu, this young man is the person you introduced in? It should be Sister Zhang who answered, she walked over with a bag in her hand as she spoke.

"Hello Sister Zhang, my name is Fenglin." Introducing himself.

"Come, his information." Sister Zhang said and handed the information to Liu Qingran, and then said to me: "Hello! Let's go to the test with your brother Liu. ”

Then I went out of the reference room and through the door on the left. When you open the door, you will find a courtyard that is behind the two-story building, surrounded by no walls, and where the stairs to the second floor are located.

Instead of going upstairs, we came to another door on one side, Liu Qingran knocked on the door, and then the door opened, and we walked in. "It's a new comrade, isn't it?" The people inside were the first to ask.

"Team Xiang, he is the wind forest I once talked about." Liu Qingran said to me again: "Fenglin, he is the captain of our team, Xiang Xuehua." ”

"Hello Captain Xiang!"

"Hmmm! The young man is very good, why don't you do the placement test first. As he spoke, he handed over something, a metal ring, and a dial with a pointer in the middle.

I took it over and looked at it, and Captain Xiang pulled out a page from the file bag and said, "This is a grip dynamometer, now hold it firmly in any way you want." Then I took it in my right hand and shook it vigorously, only to see that the pointer was still pointing to more than fifty points at first, and then it dropped a little more as the time went by, and after a full minute he said, "All right, grip Ding." "As he spoke, he wrote a 'Ding' in a column on the paper.

Then he reached out and flipped a switch, and said, "Fenglin, you are now running from the door to the opposite side as fast as you can, and then running back." I looked at him, ran out at a rapid pace, turned around and ran back when I was almost at the end, and just as I was running back, I caught a glimpse of a beautiful woman standing on the second floor, she was looking at me.

When I returned to the door, I saw him nodding his head and saying, "Thirty-five, speed level B." He wrote on the paper as usual, and then asked me, "Have you practiced any martial arts?" ”

I scratched my head and said, "I've practiced Tai Chi." ”

He wrote it down as usual, and then asked, "What sect did you learn from?" ”

I hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not, he looked up at me, and then said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you say it or not, these are all things that the people above want to see, why are they talking about actual ability, or I'll make one up for you." ”

"It's okay, I'm a teacher of Zhongtian Ziwei Palace." I think it's a unit of the state, and it doesn't matter much.

Captain Xiang didn't say anything, he recorded it as usual, and then filled in the next column while thinking, and occasionally asked me. After about ten minutes, I completed the placement test and I was rated C.

The nine parts are graded into four grades: A, B, C, and D. The rating is not a representative of a person's combat power, but only a comprehensive rating. Everyone has their own strengths, but the higher the progression is always better. Like Liu Qingran is Grade B, and Xiang Zehua is Grade A.

After doing the grading, the captain handed my information back to the archives, and then led me and Liu Qingran to the courtyard in front of him and said as he walked: "Fenglin, now that you are a member of the Ninth Department, you can get the relevant documents and equipment tomorrow, you will follow Qingran at the beginning to see how they do things." ”

"Captain Xiang, where do I live?" I asked curiously.

"The requirements of the nine ministries are not strict, you can rent a house by yourself or live here." Captain Xiang walked to a bungalow as he spoke, and Liu Qingran and I followed.

I saw that this was a cafeteria, and there would be no one in it. There was only one young man in a military uniform, who was carrying large boxes to the table, when he heard us come in and say, "Comrades, dinner is coming!" ”

The three of us walked over and each received a meal served on an integrated plate. Not long after I started eating, Political Commissar Liu, Sister Zhang and her colleagues, and several people I didn't know also came to the cafeteria.

There seem to be quite a few people in this quiet courtyard! After dinner, Liu Qingran said: "Fenglin, I have to go back to the city at night, and I don't live here." You just follow Team Xiang, he will arrange your accommodation, and I will come back tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay, Brother Liu." After saying goodbye to him, he took his luggage and Captain Xiang to the two-story building. Walking to the door of a room, he took out the key and opened the door as he spoke.

"Fenglin, there are not many people in the living department, except for me and Bai Xuemei, the other field staff live outside. So there are a lot of empty rooms, so let's just one room per person now. "We walked in, this room is not beautifully decorated, but it has all the usual facilities and has a separate bathroom.

"Who is Bai Xuemei?" I think of the woman I saw earlier.

"Oh! She's also one of the team, but she's withdrawn and rarely talks to people. ”

"How many people are on our team?" Putting down his luggage, he sat on the bed and asked.

"Including you, there are six of them. You have met the old man Qi in Yuezhou, as well as Bai Xuemei, Zhongming Daochang, and Liu Qingran and me. ”

"What are the nine parts?"

"The nine parts are based on the innate eight trigrams, which are Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Zhong, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui. Of these nine parts, the team belongs to the Kun Department. However, although the nine departments have their own jurisdictions, they often assist each other, and you will know more details when you stay for a long time. ”

"Captain Xiang, are you the best in our team?" I asked curiously.

"Haha, although I am the captain, the most powerful person is not me, but Old Man Qi."

After chatting with Captain Xiang for a while, he left. I also know a lot about the nine departments, and Captain Xiang said that it doesn't matter what you do when you're idle, but once there is a case, you must obey the arrangement of your superiors in time, that is, his arrangement.

After breakfast the next morning, I drove with Captain Xiang and Liu Qingran to get the equipment. Along the way, I curiously asked them what equipment they would send, but they said that I would know when they got there.

This time I went not to a remote and uninhabited place, but a military camp. I saw a tall door appear in front of me, with a huge national emblem hanging on the door eyebrow, and the name of the army written on the sign next to it.

It was my first time in the barracks, and I was a little excited. As soon as you enter the door, there is a square, and on the three stout flagpoles in the middle of the square, the military flag, the national flag, and the party flag flutter in the wind. Further inside is a six-storey building with a national emblem on top.

Skirting the square from the left and looking in, the sound of soldiers training and shouting can be heard. I also began to see some military vehicles, including the common liberation vans and jeeps, all of which were painted in camouflage. Further inside there were even several tanks, anti-aircraft guns, etc.

The barracks were so large that we drove inward, turned a few corners, and after a short stretch of uninhabited road, we came to a place where the sentries were standing. The sentries stood guard on a four- or five-meter-high wall, which was also painted in camouflage, and there were watchtowers at the four corners of the walls, each with sentries on it. From the outside, you can't see any other buildings inside except for the watchtower.

The military security here is obviously stricter than outside, so we parked our car in the parking space on the side and followed Captain Xiang towards the sentry post. When he got closer, the captain handed over the document in his hand, and the soldier on the opposite side first saluted, and then took the document and looked at it.

While waiting, three soldiers, each with a device in their hands, came to check on us, scanned and probed us, and found nothing unusual before leaving. They didn't speak, they just listened to their requests. I was a little nervous in my heart, but Captain Xiang and Liu Qingran didn't care.

After checking the documents and us, there was a sentry in front of us to lead the way, and entered through the small gate next to the large iron gate. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw that the courtyard was surrounded by connected bungalows, and all of them were iron gates.

The sentry opened one of the iron doors and motioned for us to enter. When I walked into the bungalow, I found that it was not an office or warehouse, but a simple elevator. We came to the elevator, Captain Xiang pressed the green start button, and then the elevator slowly ran downward.

When the elevator stopped, he came to a room, where there was also a soldier, and the captain handed him the papers he had taken on it, and he looked at it carefully. Then I found that there was nothing in this room except this soldier, a small iron table, and a door.

The only way to get out was to take the elevator we came down from, and I don't know what was behind that door. As I looked around, he put away the papers and said, "Follow me." ”

We followed him to the door, and when we came to the door, I was surprised to find that the door was actually a code door, I saw him quickly enter a string of passwords on the keyboard, and after a few seconds I heard the sound of gears turning, and then the door opened.

He didn't go in with us, but as soon as the group of three walked in, the door closed again. At this time, Captain Xiang said: "Fenglin, this is the equipment warehouse of the nine departments, I came here today, I picked weapons and equipment for you, go and take a look, just tell me what you like." ”

"I've never used a weapon before, how do you choose?" I asked, confused.

Liu Qingran said with a smile: "These things are all kinds of supernatural equipment, if you choose them, you really don't know how to choose them according to your own practice methods, or the functions you want, just one piece is fine, but you can only change the equipment once a year during your tenure." ”

Captain Xiang also said: "Fenglin, you are now more than fast and not strong enough. Try to choose a weapon that is more aggressive, so that it can be easier when you go on a mission. ”

I scratched my head and said, "Okay, I'll take a look." ”

The warehouse is not particularly large, about 200 square meters, and the roof is lined with fluorescent lamps that illuminate the entire room. In front of him is a row of cement poured tables, in the middle of the platform is a recessed groove, the bottom of the groove is padded with a white cloth, the equipment is placed on the white cloth, the notch is covered with thick glass, and a piece of paper is pasted on the glass, with a simple description written, and the equipment cannot be directly touched.

I looked carefully along the platform, and saw that the first one was a knife, which was said to be a Japanese saber, and the second was a knife, but it was a machete, and the handle was still tied with a blackened red cloth, which was also a knife used during the war.

There are five slots in the first row, all of which are knives, but one of the slots is empty and should have been used. I don't like to use knives, and then I came to the second row, which is a sword, and all kinds of long swords and short swords also have two empty slots.

Just watched them one by one, just like visiting a museum, Captain Xiang and Liu Qingran didn't urge me. Slowly walking back, things are getting stranger and stranger, from ancient chain mail to axes and forks, and even musical instruments, such as copper bells, erhu, guzheng, and flutes.

In the process of searching, I also counted, and there were ten rows of tables in the whole room, each row of five slots, that is to say, there were fifty in total. I've already taken a cursory look at more than two dozen of them, and I haven't found the equipment I want.

Just as I was walking to the sixth row, a bow appeared in the first slot that caught my attention. I saw that the name written on the paper was 'Dome Roaring Bow', and some technical parameters were written below.

Looking at this bow carefully, now it is in a relaxed state, the whole is a reverse semicircle, there are notches at both ends of the bow, it should be the place where the strings are hung, there is a layer of leather grip wrapped in the middle of the bow body, the bow body is pale yellow, and there is not too much pattern decoration, only the word dome is written on the bow arm.

There is a red thread underneath the bow, and at the ends of the thread are coils that have been tied. It seems that you can use it as long as you hang the bow, there are three arrows on the very edge, the arrow is black, it looks like it is metal, the arrow shaft is brown, I don't know what material it is, the tail of the arrow is not a feather, but one with the shaft.

If you don't look for it, you just want it. Write down its number thirty-one, and then walk towards Captain Xiang. When he saw me walking back, he asked, "Fenglin, have you found what you like?" ”

"I want the bow from number thirty-one."

"Okay, now that you've chosen, let's go out, and they'll help you get the bow out later."

Then he came to the iron gate and pressed the button, the door was opened again, Captain Xiang said what was selected, and then the three of them took the elevator back to the ground. Out of the courtyard, drive to another part of the barracks.

This time the jeep stopped in front of a building, and we walked inside and came to an office. The people inside saw us and said, "Wait a minute, everyone, I'll bring the things in a moment." ”

After ten minutes or so, a soldier holding a box shouted a report, and the person in the office said, "Please come in." Then he walked in and put the box on the coffee table in front of us.

"Equipment and supplies have been delivered, please check." The soldier said as he put down the box.

Captain Xiang opened it and looked at it, and said, "No problem." Then the soldier saluted before leaving.

I looked at the contents of the box, and in addition to the selected bow and arrow, there was also a manual, a mobile phone. Captain Xiang explained on the side: "This manual was written by the person who used this bow last time, and it can be regarded as teaching you how to use the bow, so you don't need to read it if you know it yourself." This mobile phone is issued by the ministry and is used for communication and communication, and there is no need to pay phone bills. ”
