Andrew put his eyes close to the high-precision camera. In a very short time that humans could not realize, the processor of the access control system read the filaments, pits, wrinkles and other features on his iris. After comparing with the database, the special alloy

The security door opened.

"How's it going? Andrew." The middle-aged man sitting in the office made a "please" gesture to him:

"With the impregnable security measures, I can guarantee you that not even a fly can get in."

"Are you very proud?" Andrew shook his head, took out a cigarette from his immediate boss's office, and lit it:

"Secure online appointment, ID card recognition, fingerprint detection, facial recognition, iris screening, genetic material examination once a week... they are all obsolete things." Andrew blew out a smoke ring the size of a fist:

"If it were me, I could complete all the levels in three days and cut your throat silently...when you are triumphant."

The middle-aged man sitting in the boss's chair did not speak, but stared at Andrew silently.

Andrew held a cigarette between his fingers and continued:

"I was once the best soldier on the planet. Even now, I can kill an entire team of Jarheads in the jungle, and I can still hack into and paralyze the command system of the FSIA Seattle branch... However, I can't think of any way to let a military convoy

The method of losing contact, hypnotizing all the soldiers, and kidnapping people... So, Michael, is it [them]?"

"Andrew, you already have the answer."

"So, we met the [Temple]."

"Supernatural forces that cannot be explained by science, actions that obviously have profound logic, and rarely involve anyone other than the parties involved... There is no doubt that it was the temple that took Patty away, and because of this, no one will

Be punished."

"What about Patty Brown?"

"There's nothing we can do about it, Andrew, things have changed."

The two men in the office suddenly fell silent.

As Michael said, the world has changed.

The essence of the "trial" in the temple is to give the trialists temporary superpowers, assign them tasks, and put them in dangerous environments to test their talents and character.

At this juncture when borers are invading the earth in large numbers, the task of exterminating evil-minded creatures has become mainstream.

The trialists wear rings, control fire, hurricanes, animals and more mysterious powers, and fight against strange parasites.

Since you are fighting in modern society, there will always be a day when you are noticed.

Satellites orbiting the earth, ubiquitous camera equipment, and lucky people... It is almost impossible to complete the assessment of all testers without anyone noticing.

What's more, the [instructors] have an ambiguous attitude towards human governments. They neither hide it too much nor are they eager to seek cooperation.

When the testers look at their instructors with cute eyes and ask questions like "Can we talk about this?", the alchemy doll will always answer ambiguously, "You can figure it out yourself, you know."

You can tell most of it.”

As a result, the [Temple] slowly emerged from the boundless and thick fog.

As a government organization in North America that specializes in supernatural matters, FSIA naturally knows the information about the [Temple].

——The only extraordinary organization known on earth.

——Pass the assessment called "Trial" and select outstanding seeds from around the world.

——All members wear rings.

The most important information the FSIA knows is these three pieces.

According to preliminary testing, the most powerful countries on earth all have similar understandings of the temple.

To put it bluntly, these three pieces of information are just like the synopsis of an online author. They are very important, but of little use.

The organizational structure, program, power levels, who are the current leaders...these are what FSIA is most concerned about.

Of course, no matter how much effort the FSIA invested, they made no progress in understanding the temple.

——The tester himself doesn’t know, and the alchemy doll can’t even tell.

As a result, both Andrew and Michael felt a deep sense of powerlessness in the office. Even though they knew that it was most likely the Temple that took away Patty Brown, they could not take any effective measures.

Andrew pressed the cigarette butt hard and frowned:

"Since it's been confirmed that they did it, why are you looking for me?"

"Andrew, you are a well-deserved military king, but you lack the overall situation." Michael smiled:

"Now, we don't need to worry about Patty Brown anymore, but she is an important rope. Following her, we may be able to establish an opportunity for communication with the temple."

"You want me to go?" Andrew shook his head:

"I am good at special operations and small-scale battle command. I can look for mysterious organizations...Sorry, Michael, I am an amateur, not Sherlock Holmes."

"I knew you would say that! So, I assigned a team to you."

Andrew shrugged:

"Since you have made arrangements, I accept it."

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, don't worry." Michael rubbed his hands and pointed to the coffee on the table:

"Stop smoking all the time and try this rare item I asked a friend to get."

"...Michael, do you have anything else to say?"

"Haha... you guy..." Michael laughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed in a rare way:

"There is a very special guy in your team. I'm worried that you will have a conflict with him."

"Don't question my quality. I can endure it in order to complete the task... huh? The guy you are talking about can't be Elroy, right?"

"..."

"Don't look at me like that, Michael."

"Don't blame me, man, you are the most suitable candidate..."

The veins on Andrew's neck twitched visibly. He took a deep breath and stood up suddenly:

"In other words, I am going to the prison on the seventh floor underground to get him out?"

"Yes, here you go, here is the secret key... hmm? What are you doing with the gun?"

"Destroy him first, then escape!"

"Calm down, calm down, Andrew, if you really resist, you can change the task. It doesn't matter. The worst thing is that you can't establish contact with the temple. The preparations for FSIA fell short. I was spanked to the end, and then I became a homeless man and froze to death next to the trash can.

...It doesn’t matter, for the sake of friends, freezing to death is nothing like that?”

"Ha, that's ridiculous, Michael, do you really think you've got me..."

…

"Ha, that's ridiculous Michael, he's really going to kill me..."

Ten minutes later, Andrew muttered as he stood in front of the prison's steel fence and entered the secret key.

The cell opened and the environment inside was revealed to Andrew.

This is a cubic metal cage with a side length of only 1.5 meters. The surroundings are smooth and there are no gaps except for millimeter-level ventilation holes.

A tall young man, over 1.9 meters tall, huddled in this small space.

His head was turned away from Andrew, but the moment the cage was opened, the young man's voice came out:

"Long time no see, Andrew, your footsteps are still so kind... It seems that the knife I stabbed in your thigh has healed. Really, I would have known I would have stabbed you with a three-edged sword, haha..."

Andrew's face twitched fiercely, and it took him a long time before he replied in a muffled voice:

"Long time no see, Mad Dog...Elroy."
