Chapter 39: Invisible Space
After reaching a consensus with the underworld forces led by Frank, Muse put aside the two people who pretended to shake hands and make peace, and left the entertainment city with a red face, ending this embarrassing morning.
Ivan chased after her very uneasily, and seeing that the direction of her flying machine was the Pure Shield, he finally let go of his heart, and attributed the other party's behavior to being ashamed to face himself.
At this time, he was also a little afraid, he was only going to spoof it, but he almost got into a big accident, and it was quite dangerous to think about it carefully.
But fortunately, there are no dangers...... I hope she doesn't pester herself after what happened today.
Thinking of this, he was about to leave, but Frank walked through the corridor alone and unexpectedly stopped him: "You should be a student of the Pure Shield, right?
"Do you know Minister Karenzi?"
Evan couldn't help but be stunned, and asked rhetorically, "So, you are a graduate of the Pure Shield?"
"Far away, far away, far away!"
Frank hurriedly waved his hand to deny, then raised his sunglasses and explained:
"I don't have the talent of a mechanic, and the talent of mental power is average, I am in my thirties, and my level is only a little stronger than yours, so it's a bit embarrassing to say it. The only thing I'm good at is mixed martial arts, and now I'm eating on this thing. ”
"Your mixed martial arts skills are very good, you're just a little bit close to the high level, right?" Seeing that he and Kalenz knew each other well, Evan immediately became interested in talking.
"Although it can be said that there is a qualitative difference between this middle section and the high section. ”
Frank was a little proud and a little lost, and sighed regretfully:
"But even if you can train to a high level, what can you do, your status is not as good as that of a junior mechanic...... It's not easy to find a job, in addition to teaching students to be bodyguards, you can also do some indiscriminate things to make money. ”
“......”
Seeing his long sigh, Evan casually wrote a blank check: "If you can break through the high level, I will ask you to go to Hyperion Star to be the chief instructor and make you a nobleman." ”
"Hahaha, it's kind of interesting, I haven't tasted what it's like to be a nobleman yet!"
Frank's eyes lit up, showing a little expectation, but he didn't take it too seriously, and immediately changed the topic: "It's a bit of a stretch, I want to ask about Kalenz, how is he doing now, has mixed martial arts broken through the high level?"
"I don't know the specifics, but it should be soon, because he's going to compete in a mixed martial arts tournament in a while. Ivan felt that there was no point in hiding such a thing, so he told the truth.
"That's really fast!"
The man in sunglasses felt empathy, and he couldn't help but raise his tone, squinted his eyes, and his expression seemed to fall into a memory:
"The two of us met in a fight, when I was playing black boxing in the underground boxing world, and he happened to come looking for excitement, and we became friends when we got acquainted with each other. I was a little stronger then, and now he's stronger...... The training equipment of the MMA club is truly enviable. ”
"Do you need me to take you to say hello to him?" asked Ivan tentatively.
In this era of casual information contact, greeting others is no longer a polite etiquette, but with some intention to bridge the rift. Frank claims to be on good terms with Kalenz, but judging by his speech and demeanor, it is clear that the two have not been in touch for a long time, or have simply broken up. At this time, Frank took the initiative to mention Karenz, most likely because he regretted it, and Evan also pretended to mention it.
"Well, that's for you. ”
Frank tacitly bowed his head slightly, his eyes moved without a trace, then he lifted his watch, clicked on a page, and handed it to Evan:
"This is the latest virtual battle platform "Death Arena", which has a high degree of simulation and can be said to be 100% restored to the real battle. I also got an internal test by chance, and after trying it for a while, I feel very good, I recommend you try it. ”
"It's just what I need. Evan's eyes lit up.
"Add a friend, I'll send you the link, and it's easy to keep in touch in the future." ”
"Hmm. ”
......
MMA Club, Minister's Office.
"What? Did you see Frank?"
Karenz lowered his head with a complicated expression, buried his face in the palm of his hand, rubbed it vigorously and tilted his face, and warned solemnly:
"I've broken off my friendship with him a long time ago, and I don't have any affection now, so don't talk about that guy in front of me in the future. Also, you'd better stay away from him, people in this gray area are the best at setting themselves on fire, and it's easy to implicate others. ”
"I'm just here to pass on a message to you. ”
Evan saw his attitude, immediately indicated the force field, and then sent Frank the link to himself: "By the way, he also recommended this to me, what do you think?"
"Battle games?"
Kalenz clicked on the promotional page, watched a few game videos, and then couldn't help but nodded: "It looks like the simulation is quite high, it makes me want to play it too, it is estimated that it is a fighting game in the closed beta, you can try it, don't indulge in it." ”
"Then I'll try it!"
Evan said goodbye, and couldn't wait to leave Kalenz, walked into his gravity training room, and quickly clicked on the web page on the link:
"Noah, help me connect this game, and then check the model of the simulation cabin to see if the academy configuration can be used. ”
"Please wait a minute......"
Noah's sweet voice rang out, and then the watch screen lit up with a black and white progress bar, but after the progress bar was full, there was a long silence.
"What's going on?"
After waiting for five minutes with anticipation, Evan was still one short of the progress bar, and he didn't move, and he suddenly became a little impatient, :
"Noah, Noah, are you there?"
“......”
Noah, who originally seemed to be everywhere, fell into an eerie silence at this time, and the temperature of the watch became hotter and hotter, I don't know if it was the result of overload, or if something suddenly failed.
"It's weird!"
Evan suddenly became vigilant, and immediately stretched out his hand, tore off the watch chain with force, and threw the hot watch out.
Smack——!
As the silver watch smashed to the ground, the long-stagnant progress bar finally reached its last bar. A scarlet ray flashed across the screen, then suddenly expanded, covering the entire gravity training room, smearing the space with a shocking layer of blood.
At the same time, the blood and light in front of Ivan converged, condensing into a line of flowing federal blood characters:
"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? want to ...... Alive?"
"I don't want to!"
He felt inexplicably uneasy and decisively refused.
Who knew that refusal was useless, but the other blood word directly became "game loading", and then the scenery in the space was also changing rapidly, and the entire gravity training room was like a hazy surrounding rich blood mist, which was rapidly diluted in the melting of sunlight.
—————————————
Cold, shaky......
The moment he woke up, Evan jumped up from the ground, he looked around in a panic, the environment of the gravity training room in his mind and the environment in front of him were instantly confused, but after a few seconds, he had already woken up from the confusion.
"Yes, you're the best recruit in this batch. A cold voice came.
Ivan turned his head to look and saw a red-haired young man in body armor staring at him with a sneer, this young man was about twenty-four or five years old, with a lion's nose and a wide mouth, a stout physique, but his right hand was wrapped in several layers of bandages, faintly revealing a bit of blood.
The red-haired young man held a bottle of wine in his uninjured hand, bit the cap of the bottle, craned his neck and took a few puffs, then looked behind Ivan over his gaze. Only then did Ivan realize that there were five people sitting beside him, three men and two women, all wearing uniform camouflage uniforms, holding rifles in their arms, dressed as miscellaneous fish soldiers.
It's a moving car, and the car is moving very fast, and the cold and shaking are the touch that comes from this car.
"What the hell is this place?"
Ivan looked confused, and couldn't help but reach out and knock on his head - if it's a dream, hurry up and wake yourself up!
Everyone present, including the red-haired young man who had just spoken, was doing their own thing as if they hadn't heard, and no one answered his question.
Just as Ivan was about to raise the volume and ask for a second time, a neutral voice without any temperature appeared in his ears:
"Contestant No. 54413, welcome into the invisible space, this is the realm of Ms. Shylock, please remain in awe and calm. This game is part of the Ultimate Warrior program, which aims to select the best fighters. You'll fight as a candidate until you complete the trial or die. ”
"This is outrageous, I haven't started playing yet!" Ivan was a little emotionally broken.
He just wanted to play a realistic fighting game and practice his mixed martial arts skills, and suddenly doing it like this was more like a dream than crossing over.
"Death Arena is nothing more than a cover to select the best seeds of martial artists and send the right ones into the invisible space. This is Ms. Shylock's proving ground, and you'll earn constant rewards by completing quests. ”
After a slight pause, the voice began to explain:
"Death means that the trial is over, and you can't quit halfway, and after clearing the level, you will be eligible to make a wish. ”
"Who is Shylock??Can she just break the law!?Isn't she clear what the crime of detaining people for no reason is!?" Evan burst into rage.
"A lady is the one who makes the rules, and the rules are not valid for her. ”
After responding to his questioning, the voice began to give instructions:
"Mission one, protect the wounded Master Chief Roddy as he arrives in Flying Squirrel Town, and mission two, take the Order of Fire from recruit Horkmandy. Friendly reminder, during the mission, you will be chased by evil spirits, and there are additional rewards for killing evil spirits. ”
"Can you not play?"
He let out a groan of despair.
