After the woman in charge of grooming left, the room returned to a quiet state.

“……”

In silence, Nan Mingyuan seemed to have something to say, but seeing that Gu Yuehu was still stunned, he immediately stopped talking.

“……？”

Lin Sheng was a little puzzled.

“…… Okay, Brother Sheng, I've told you what to do next, I have to go through other formalities for you first. ”

After a short silence, some innocent chubby finally realized that the atmosphere between the man and woman in front of him seemed to be a little delicate, so he quickly found a reason to run away.

After he walked out of the room quickly......

"Your feedback loop and weapon module have been sent to Xiaopang for upgrades before, so let's say goodbye to your poor brick, the data has also been uploaded, and let your artificial intelligence help you simulate it in the dream, you should know it."

"Actually, I still like that brick."

"Hmmm......"

“……？”

“……”

"Don't you have anything else to say?"

"Hmm...... Do you have a ...... at this moment? What do you feel like about it? ”

Nan Mingyuan stood behind him, looking at the man in front of him and seeming to change back to the more familiar appearance of himself.

"A little bit."

Lin Sheng reached out and pinched his smooth chin.

"Even if it's a person like you, you still care about your appearance." A joking voice came from behind him.

"No, I'm just distressed, I've been growing those hair and beards for a long time, and I've studied how to trim them to make them look more fierce."

Lin Sheng looked at the man in the mirror who was already a little strange to him, and sighed slightly.

"I think it's good, I only felt sloppy when I looked like that before, and I thought it had to be done before I carried out the event."

Nan Mingyuan didn't seem to be satisfied with just standing behind the man and looking at the other party's reflection in the mirror.

She walked straight in front of Lin Sheng, and then said, "It's like a ritual to build self-confidence, to face them in the best condition." ”

"I've been in good shape, and besides, judging by the resentment you had when you came out of the house, it's just your personal bad taste."

"What's the matter, isn't the most important thing for a boy to be clean and fresh?"

Nan Ming looked Lin Sheng up and down, his eyes were no longer as disgusted as before, "Isn't it good to be a little fresh meat?" A lot of people can't ask for it. ”

"At my age, I'm already past the 'boy' stage."

"And...... My looks are not practical at a critical time. ”

Cutting his hair short and shaving off the messy stubble, Lin Sheng, who had a new look, stood up and walked to the full-length mirror on the side.

In the mirror, there is still a young face with some immature and delicate spirit, but the temperament is no longer as pure as a teenager.

Among them, there seems to be something that has been precipitated from the years.

"Do you know the story of Gao Changgong?"

"Of course, because of his feminine appearance, he chose to wear a fierce helmet after realizing that he could not intimidate the enemy when he went into battle, this is the story that most people know."

"In the middle of the incident...... Not every time you can successfully gain the trust of the other party, in the face of life and death, most people will choose to live alone, so in many cases, the role of deterrence is greater than affinity, in this regard, the practicality of this appearance is not even as good as before. ”

After Lin Sheng finished speaking, he stretched out his right index finger and gently pressed it on the virtual button located in the center of the full-length mirror.

[Scanning-]

The familiar electronic female voice rang out in the room.

This is a full-length mirror and a device that scans and records information.

[The facial and iris features have been verified, and the corresponding information has been detected as Lin Sheng, the dreamer who plans to return to work. 】

[Personnel number is OMEGA-027, and the simplified version of the process will be carried out now, please dictate to confirm whether to reactivate the profile.] 】

"Confirm."

The man's lips in front of the mirror lifted slightly.

[The voiceprint feature verification is passed, and the personnel file is activated.] 】

[Please remove the ration equipment and complete the missing reinstatement test items at the appropriate time.] 】

[The simple process is over, welcome back to the shrike bird, Lin Sheng. 】

On the black wall on the other side, the surface suddenly lit up with a matrix-shaped dark blue light net, and then a part of the wall about 60 long and 30 wide, with a total area of nearly 1.8 square meters, slowly moved out of the spliced cabinet at a relatively moderate speed, and then separated up and down, becoming one large and one small.

Lin Sheng lifted the upper part first and put it on the table next to it, like a suitcase-like thing.

He then opened the other larger box, revealing a dark black bodysuit made of synthetic rubber foam covered in a mesh of carbon fiber.

"It's only been a long time, the airborne uniform has been iterated again, and the designer's taste and fetish have changed from GANTZ to EVA."

Nan Mingyuan saw that he picked up the clothes that were exclusive to the mission, so he pointed in the direction outside the door.

"Go out and turn left, and at the end of the walk is the locker room, hurry up and change into it, the distance between Fenshan City and here is definitely not close."

"No need, just here."

As he spoke, Lin Sheng took off his pajamas on the spot.

"Hey...... There's monitoring here. ”

Nan Mingyuan was taken aback when he heard this, and then immediately turned around and reminded the other party.

"You don't have to take it all off, you said it, there's no time."

"Hmm...... Is that the right size? ”

Listening to the sound of rustling behind him, Nan Mingyuan, who had his back to Lin Sheng, asked.

"Stomach here...... Slightly a little tight. ”

"Because I didn't go through the whole process, I used the body data from three years ago. So what is the reason, you yourself should be very clear, right? ”

Nan Mingyuan rarely found a topic that could gain the upper hand.

"You can't ask a person who is ready to be buried to work out every day, and you deliberately broke him out just to tell me this."

"When I intervene in most dreams, I use my own body data at the moment of entry, and I just want to ......"

Nan Mingyuan didn't finish his words, but suddenly changed the topic: "So...... Were you vaguely expecting something? ”

“…………”

Half a day.

Seeing that Lin Sheng did not respond, and the sound of changing clothes had stopped, Nan Mingyuan still turned around and turned around.

I saw Lin Sheng standing at the table, looking at the black box on the table and slightly distracted.

"You...... No problem. ”

I seem to be able to understand what kind of emotion it is.

It's like a home away from home.

It's like a prison.

After hearing Nan Mingyuan's voice, Lin Sheng came back to his senses.

"It's fine, just remembering some of the past."

The box was then opened, and an arm-like wearable device was removed from it, which was aimed at the reserved position of the right forearm of the uniform.

With a "click" when embedded, the current is turned on, and the device is perfectly combined with the black uniform through electromagnetic effects and physical buckles.

The screen on the device suddenly lights up.

[Pairing is successful, the owner of the device is detected to be OMEGA-027, the artificial intelligence PSI-027 is reactivated, it has been 1104 days and 12 hours since the most recent access, and the memory bank is intact and no anomalous.] 】

[Event command detected and tower connection is being executed.] 】

[CONNECTION WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, AND CURRENT TOWER OPERATOR ALPHA-027 PERSONNEL INFORMATION CONFLICTED WITH MEMORY DATA AND IS BEING UPDATED AND RECONFIGURED.] 】

[The new operator has been successfully configured, with the designation ALPHA-213, and is being matched with the Morpheus database of the Shrike's Dreamer Project.] 】

[The match is successful, and the mission target is confirmed as a recovery event.] 】

[The proposed estimation range of the intervention time is 18:00-20:00, and the file number of the original mother is 304-B-OMEGA-027-16-20420209, and the breaking information is being analyzed......]

"No need, with the death of three experienced people in a row with archival records, there must have been a change within the incident."

[It is understood that the analysis has been discontinued to prevent misleading, but the relevant information can still be consulted at any time.] 】

Lin Sheng listened to the electronic female voice that sounded from his right arm this time, and then his tone began to become more serious:

"Maintain monitoring of the entire territory of Fenshan City, extend the limit range to a radiation area of 50 kilometers outside the map boundary, and inform the relevant bands as soon as they are accurately located. In addition, the long-distance emergency plan was activated, and the sortie preparation was arranged as soon as possible. ”

[Understand that the band monitoring capability of Fenshan City's "Eye of God" has been increased to the maximum. 】

[Air traffic control is on, and task force member GAMMA-579 has now been granted sortie clearance, and the manned aircraft is the Nightwing 04 tiltrotor transport aircraft, which is in normal service status. 】

[There is no abnormality in the uniform self-inspection, and the meteor maneuver is allowed to be activated, please report to the warm-up area in time, and perform warm-up preparations for more than 30 minutes to avoid accidents during use.] 】

"It's too late, it's going to be at least an hour or so from here, tell the pilot, and leave right away in ten minutes."

[Understand that the emergency plan for special times is being implemented.] 】

Lin Sheng muttered softly while moving the muscles and bones of his whole body in the room:

"Long time no see, old friend."

Nan Ming, who was standing on the side, smiled slightly.

At this moment, the appearance of the person in front of me and the image in the memory gradually coincided.

The boy ......

It seems to be back again.
