On the night of returning from the Arcturus space station, the Cadet Political and Educational Office officially released the official list of ghost candidates for this issue, and Lin Youde was impressively listed.

Attached to the official list is a note: "In the event that a candidate dies before graduation, the eligibility will be inherited by the student in the support group with the highest grade in the grade." ”

Lin Youde hurriedly asked Lin Xiangzhi: "What's going on with this explanation?" ”

Lin Xiangzhi was sitting on Lin Youde's bed and holding Noah to eat potato chips, and when he heard Lin Youde's question, he hurriedly replied: "Of course, this is to point out the situation of hiccups in the field, once someone dies, isn't it normal for the people behind to be replaced." ”

"But I think there are obviously fewer ghost agents in the third and fourth grades than in the second grade, isn't the number of candidates different every year?"

"It's the same, there are few people who say that even those who can be substituted are dead, do you still have to ask about such a simple thing. It's not like anyone with the highest score can be an agent, and the explanation of the Political and Educational Affairs Department deliberately omitted this point in order to let the members of the support team strive to be the first. ”

"Oh, that's it, but even the substitutions are dead, what a high death rate is!"

"You've only been enrolled for a month and you've only been on a trip to the Ghost Gate, what do you say?" Lin Xiangzhi asked rhetorically.

Lin Youde was right.

At this time, Noah asked, "Why do you all like to touch my ears on the top of my head?"

Because it's cute.

Noah blinked, and after a second she seemed to give up on pursuing the question, instead reaching into Hayashi's snack bag.

"No more!" She turned to Lin Xiangori and said.

"Okay, I'll open a new one. Anyway, your robot's artificial intelligence is really good, how about helping me make one? ”

Lin Youde secretly wiped his sweat in his heart, fortunately, now artificial intelligence is doing simulation everywhere, and Noah seems to be only in the category of "doing really well", otherwise it will be a big trouble.

It's not going to be a big problem, and I'm only going to act after seeing the situation.

Lin Youde glanced at her suspiciously.

At the same time that Lin Xiangori opened the new potato chip package, Lin Youde asked, "Sister Xiangori, can't you first reveal what the Prometheus Fire is for?" ”

"No, I'm a principled person."

"Is there principle but no discipline?"

"It's too much, I've taken critical damage!"

Lin Youde sighed.

"Okay, Sister Kaori, the chief instructor's communications business is here, and tomorrow's schedule has been obtained, you should go back, I can't wait to roll the sheets and sleep right now."

"Eh, do you want to roll the sheets with me?"

"Listen carefully!"

Hayashi Kaori grinned, and finally lifted Noah up and put him on the bed, then stuffed the remaining potato chips to Noah, and stood up on his own.

"That's it, I've had enough fun today, so I'll rest early." After that, Lin Xiangzhi really left Lin Youde's room, which simply surprised Lin Youde.

However, Lin Youde immediately stood up and flew to the bed.

There was a lingering fragrance of shower gel on the sheets, and Lin Youde, a retro party who had used soap for thousands of years, would never have such a fragrance.

You're happy right now.

What nonsense is the truth!

This is the 30th time you've replied to me in a similar situation, does that mean anything special?

No, I slept. Lin Youde immediately turned off the lights in the room with his bracelet.

**

The next day, the alternate Ghost Agents who passed the test assembled in the auditorium. There were only eight of them and Instructor Li in the huge auditorium, and the strong contrast highlighted the spaciousness of the auditorium.

Lin Youde stood in the middle of the team, De Niro on the right, and Enleko on the left, and De Niro was still complaining: "I'm so close to you, shame." ”

He deliberately whispered, just to let Lin Youde hear it.

Lin Youde glanced at him and replied, "Who told you not to work hard." ”

"People with lower scores than me are not qualified to speak of me."

"I only have first-level spiritual energy, and I have your spiritual energy for a long time before ranking first."

Instructor Li coughed and glared at the two of them, which shut up De Niro, who was about to continue to talk back, and Lin Youde was also silent with interest.

"Congratulations on successfully passing the qualification test, you have already stepped into the threshold of the ghost agent field with half a foot, but there are still four years of courses in the future, it's not for me to scare you, you may be hung up in the future courses and field internships at any time, and it's too late to quit now."

Instructor Li said, starting from the head of the platoon, looking at everyone one by one.

Of course, no one will quit at this time, whether it is Lin Kaori who is in first place or Anna at the end of the crane, they all put their hands behind their backs and pose in a standard straddle posture, holding their heads high.

"Good. Now, then, I will reveal to you a great secret, and knowing this secret, the shadow of the Secret Bureau will stay with you for the rest of your life. The secret is that supercivilizations exist. ”

Lin Youde's heart almost stopped, but he immediately realized that it was impossible to say that it was Noah, otherwise he would not have solemnly announced it on such an occasion, there were too many links in the middle.

Instructor Li continued: "The Galactic Council's propaganda strategy is very successful, they deliberately cultivate all kinds of rumors about the super-civilization, and finally succeeded in making everyone think that the super-civilization is just an urban legend, although everyone is very keen to discuss the topic of super-civilization, but when it comes to the question of the existence of the super-civilization, most people will subconsciously deny the existence of the super-civilization, which is the success of the propaganda strategy formulated by the eighth Jocka-man in the Galactic Council." But the truth is that supercivilizations exist. ”

Lin Youde used Noah to observe everyone's reactions, Lin Deguang and Lin Kaori were of course not surprised at all, De Niro seemed to have heard about it, so he was not surprised at all, and Enleko had an expression of "Oh Huo Huo is really like this", in short, just looking at the performance of the eight people in the auditorium, the strategy of the Qiuka people was simply a failure.

But Lin Youde couldn't help but think of his own performance when he first met Noah - well, the strategy of the Qiuka people may have succeeded, but the group of people around him is a special case.

Instructor Li continued: "Of course, the few people at the top of the pyramid of various races know about this to some extent, but the races after 99 are more skeptical because they do not control super-civilization relics or relics and other things that can conclusively prove the existence of super-civilization, and we humans are lucky enough to control a super-civilization relic, which is stored in this space station." This was also the main target of the enemy attack on this space station last month. ”

The Fire of Prometheus - Lin Youde silently recited this name in his heart.

"And the function of this relic is to produce nanomachinery that we call 'Tinder'. Tinder has special physical requirements for the boarder, but you are carefully selected to be suitable. You may feel uncomfortable for a short period of time after being injected with the fire, and your psionic energy will drop because your brain is not yet used to the tinder, but when you get through it all, you will gain the possibility of training to improve your psionic power. ”

I see, Lin Youde smacked his lips, no wonder that thing is called Prometheus Fire, its function can indeed have something to do with Heavenly Fire.

At this time, Enleko, who was beside Lin Youde, raised his hand and asked loudly: "Chief Instructor, could it be said that our human nanomachines are actually gifts from super-civilization?" ”

"No, the fire of Prometheus that we found 38 years after winning the arbitration war with the pigs, was the last straw that broke the determination of the pigs to fight back, but what we achieved until then was all our own. In fact, Prometheus Fire doesn't help us more than provide us with super soldiers and agents, and our research on it has so far yielded nothing. Therefore, we can continue to be proud of humanity's achievements and do not need to belittle ourselves just because we know that the Heavenly Fire exists. ”

After speaking, Instructor Li made a gesture - Lin Youde found that ghost agents seemed to like to make gestures to give orders, and they could command people through electronic communication without using gestures, which was probably a mistake learned from Instructor Li.

Several senior brothers and sisters of the graduating class escorted a small box in front of everyone, and inside were eight filled syringes.

Instructor Li picked up one of them and said to everyone: "The survival period of each tube of fire is one year, due to a certain principle that we have not yet analyzed, the fire will gradually lose its activity after one year, and will be excreted by the human body little by little through metabolism. Therefore, every year you have to inject a new fire. It is this trait that allows the loyalty of the ghost agents to be reliably guaranteed. ”

Lin Youde couldn't help smacking his lips, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that Pang Dongming, who was about to rebel, would come to rob the fire of Prometheus - Lin Youde didn't know that Pang Dongming was colluding with the pig clan.

"Alright," Instructor Li took a deep breath, "I've said enough to be said, now let's get to the substance." ”

After that, he handed the tube of tinder in his hand to Lin Xiangori, who was in first place.

Without saying a word, Lin Xiangzhi plunged the syringe into his chest.

Then she knelt on the ground, curled up at the waist, looking pained.

"This is a normal reaction," Instructor Li explained while the graduating class students went to take care of Lin Xiangori, "The nanomachinery in your body will resist the fire, in the first few decades of using the fire, many people will die at this level, but now the safety of this link is fully guaranteed, no one will die, but it will be as uncomfortable as dying." ”

, Lin Youde thought, it might as well be dead.

"What are you waiting for?" Instructor Li asked, "Do you want me to deliver things to you one by one?" ”
