Chapter 11: First Glimpse
"That's it...... Is it over? I stared blankly at the two wrecks that had fallen beside me, and made sure that the sense of crisis in my intuition had receded, and that I was now relieved, and I was on my knees, and the feeling of exhaustion and swelling came like a tidal wave, and it was the first time that I had always been awake in such a strong state of blur.
Sure enough, there are many limits to the use of this ability.
"Bang, bang, bang" three loud applause sounded behind me, and the sound source was a hundred meters away!
How come?!
I turned around in surprise and with a little difficulty, and saw a middle-aged man standing behind me, looking at me with a smile on his face, but even so, there was still no such existence in my perception, even if it was a black shadow, how terrifying!
"You...... You are? I asked as I calmed down the confusion as quickly as I could.
The middle-aged man walked up to me silently, and at this time I could barely confirm his appearance: wearing a leotard, with black broken hair, an angular face and bright eyes, he looked like a very masculine middle-aged man, "I have many identities, and there is only one you can understand at the moment - your lead." However, his expression has always been very serious, not the expressionless kind, but a natural "solemn appearance", compared with a "soulless and downcast" like me, he gives people the impression of more like a "hawkish soldier".
"Can you explain?"
"This planet is not so simple, I believe you have seen this, and I have asked you to go to our base here on the orders of the team leader."
"Yes, then...... When did you come over? "I had to wonder how long a person had been lurking around me and I hadn't noticed it at all.
"From the beginning, a minute ago, I was already nearby when those two robots attacked."
"Yes...... Is it? What a heavy answer.
"Now, I hope you can go with me first, and if there is anything else to ask, you will know when you are on the way or when you get to the base." Apparently despite his amiable attitude, he is by nature an arrogant man, unwilling to waste time on what he sees as meaningless, but absolutely obedient to orders and keeping his promises.
I stood up, although there was no fighting power at this time, but simple activities can still be done, I don't want to show my weak side in front of anyone, in this situation I can only insist on following him frankly, whether what he said is true or false, I can't refuse.
Sitting in the car, I asked the question I should have asked first: "What are the two of them, and who sent them?" β
"I don't know, this level of robot can only be comparable to a medium soldier, anyone can send it: the strength of other countries, domestic rebel groups, some non-affiliated groups, etc., the other party just uses this to test your ability and potential, so it is difficult to find out anything. However, I have to praise you for your potential, and you can kill two opponents on your par with you, even though you have no education or training, or even know a little about the basics. β
...... "I leaned back in my chair and didn't react, but I closed my eyes and digested the information I got while I closed my eyes: first, a country definitely does not refer to a certain country on earth; Second, the world is far more complex than I could have imagined; In the end, I will have a lot of troubles in the future.
"So, who are you?"
"A superpower has set up research and inspection institutions on the earth in order to ensure the stability and harmonious development of this embryonic social order on the earth."
"......" is completely incomprehensible in this aspect, "What is the purpose of your search for me?" β
"You were originally a member of our country, and now that you have undergone the rite of passage, you have awakened your abilities, and it is natural that you will return to the country and become a member of the citizens."
I endured this inexplicable conversation and finally took a deep breath, "Now there is a key question: the country you are talking about and the relevant back of this country. What does the scenery look like? β
When I asked this question, he closed his mouth instantly, and then replied mechanically: "You and I are not authorized, I can't decide whether I can share this kind of information with you, you can find the answer to the team leader." β
It's a normal car, at least I don't see anything out of the ordinary, but I don't believe in that anymore. Somehow, I remembered the mysterious man's rambling - "There is nothing in this world to be trusted", and the contract he was talking about......
ββββ
The car stopped, and I turned my head to look out the window at the city hall.
ββ¦β¦β
I opened the door and walked out and followed him through the gate of the town hall, then turned to the left-hand corridor and stopped at the door of the first office, he turned to me and said, "Remember, I'm going first, you can open the door and enter it after you close the door, and you can only enter this door one at a time." When you open the door for a while, hold the doorknob and turn it down fifteen degrees, push the door but can't push it open, wrap it with mental power, control it to turn down fifteen degrees again, and then let go, the door will open automatically, but the hand can't leave, otherwise you can only enter the room on the surface. Remember? β
I nodded in understanding, and he pushed the door in, he said it was cumbersome, but I couldn't see the slightest pause in his movements, which he had apparently passed many times.
I grabbed the handle, spun it down and pushed it forward, paused slightly, and my mental energy poured into it, and suddenly a dead thing that had nothing to do with me became like a part of my body, and then automatically took my hand down, and finally stopped. With a click, the door slowly opened, and when I stepped into it, the whole picture suddenly changed, and after the center of gravity dropped sharply, I was greeted by a silvery white emptiness, and there was no one in it.
"Well done," his voice came again, and then the wilderness scene in front of me slowly faded, and the middle-aged man looked at me right in front of my eyes, "Now you can sit down, there is still some distance for us to wait." "When the illusion was gone, I finally saw my environment clearlyβa small space surrounded by spherical walls, with two rows of benches against the wall.
I nodded and sat down, but he took out a square "glass book" out of somewhere and handed it to me, "This is the underground teleportation pod, and it will take about ten minutes to reach the headquarters, during which time you can learn more about everything you are going to face and open it." β
I opened the transparent fold and a large number of Chinese characters floated on its surface (this is the most familiar text I am currently with), and although I was a little surprised, I was mentally prepared after all, so I immediately calmed down and read it carefully.
This is a message that can be put out there enough to shock the world, nay, more accurately, to panic the world.
The full name of this body is the "Special Regulation and Research Group for the Earth", and the word "group" says a lot about it. This group is set up for human society, because for an extremely developed civilization, what strange life structure has not been seen? Nature is simply worthless in their eyes, and there are only two things that really make them pay attention: the history and culture of intelligent systems, and in the final analysis, civilization, which is one of their main purposes.
But the current problem is that there is not only one such agency, the entire earth is controlled by a special operations team sent by four major forces, in addition, the degree of chaos in the galaxy is one of the best in the known star fields, basically there are thugs in the shadows of every civilization, they are all opponents and even enemies of the organization, so the current situation has been surging.
The stingy information already says a lot, and I frown as I think about the agency's intention to tell me this information.
"Now you know the big picture, don't you?" Seeing me put down the information board, although he asked a question, his tone was very affirmative.
"What exactly is your purpose?"
He stared at me for a moment, then said, "You're one of us." β
ββ¦β¦ It can't be, and I won't agree with it. I flatly denied his words, I knew nothing about my past eight years old, and even if it was as he said, I had to maintain my own freedom of speech and action, and it was impossible for his words alone to determine my path.
Hearing my words, he frowned slightly, and then said: "This is not my decision, but the team leader's, and the specific result will be said when it comes to the place." β
As the words fell, a crisp prompt sounded in our ears, and it was only then that I realized that ten minutes had passed on this ride, which had no sense of movement.
And then the door opened.
