They still go to the soldiers' canteen to eat. Years of immersion in military life have made Kalki develop a self-disciplined and measured life. The pure vegetarian diet is still so frugal and healthy.
"Oh! There is urgent news. Sorry, I have to look at it immediately." Xuanji received a trill, which was a priority message she set for the Rangers.
She immediately touched the stereoscopic projection screen and opened the message. On the ion screen was a dark-skinned, South Asian-looking young man wearing a Ranger uniform who politely greeted all the Rangers. This scene was quite interesting in Kalki's eyes.
For fun, he also put down his knife and fork and watched carefully.
"We need a salary increase of at least 20%, and every interstellar mission that lasts more than six months must have two months of vacation, instead of the current one month. In addition, we require that the old Peregrine Falcon T66 missiles be phased out as soon as possible and replaced with the latest monster missiles.
Snake M18 super-light missile. We rangers are not cannon fodder and need to be taken seriously! If you have suggestions, please contact me as soon as possible. Our conference room is in G1794D34. The next meeting will be at 3:30 on Friday..."
"Great! Finally someone took the lead in the fight!" Xuanji looked very happy, "Ah... we mercenaries actually have a harder time, we are simply cannon fodder among cannon fodder. This time, the main reason is that the equipment update speed is too slow, and the Ministry of War loves it too much.
Money, regardless of the lives of frontline soldiers, is what caused the big fuss this time."
"It's really interesting." Kalki thought thoughtfully, "Gaia's young people are very energetic...Unlike Plato's system, our caste system brings super stability, and it also makes our young people's thinking more narrow and solid.
Especially young military nobles live extremely closed lives."
"Hey, it's not too big of a deal for you to just watch the fun!" Xuanji glared at him. Everyone has different opinions and understandings of the same thing. She was thinking of all the unpleasantness while serving in the Rangers, "Plato Knight"
The logistics support of the regiment is so good. You really took advantage of it and behaved well! You don’t know how poor our logistics is. We are often overwhelmed on the front line and encounter various problems, such as the maintenance of fighter planes, various weapons and equipment, and the commander’s reprimands.
And blind command, even rest and meals..."
"Everyone and every system has their own problems." Kalki sighed and continued to eat avocado salad. "Actually, I want to thank the Gaia War Department for its inefficient, super-light-speed monster snake M18 attack angle.
It's completely random, which makes it impossible for the fighter plane's bullet avoidance program to automatically calculate. If the Ranger tactics are appropriate and combined with intensive launches, the knights will feel nervous. I know that there are young knights and retinues who have fighter planes crashing into each other while avoiding.
Accident."
"Then I have to give it a try with the Monster M18 next time!" She blinked her black eyes in an odd way.
He gently tapped her forehead with his hand.
"lokadhātu!" Kalki stood in front of the "door" specially trained for pilots of transforming fighter planes, raising his head and carefully looking at the "secrets" in the Gaia War Department.
The appearance of the "door" is metallic black, while the Plato is an enamel white door.
He touched it with his hand and said, "I like its texture."
"We call it X-box," Xuanji also expressed appreciation, "You also know that Gaians like simple and easy-to-understand words. Gaians can't even pronounce Plato."
"I've been training for many years." She told him with a smile.
"Soon, Gaia will have its own Knights." Kalki's blue eyes flashed nervously, foreboding that Gaia's army would soon have its own Sky Knights.
Then in the future, he may really meet Xuanji on the battlefield.
As a copycat version of lokadhātu, X-box is almost indistinguishable from the latter. It also has a dedicated artificial intelligence robot operating at the main console outside to prevent trainees from accidents.
"This is the position of Putrasil!" Kalki looked at similar scenes and thought of the training director of the Knights standing there. He now understood: Plato's army likes to use more labor to ensure that every Plato is
Everyone has jobs, but the Gaia army prefers to use artificial intelligence and is willing to let young people receive unemployment benefits.
They put on their combat uniforms and took a shiny red dot and stuck it on the ear. These were exactly the same as in Plato and could be used for external communication. Then Kalki opened the door.
"Are you ready? We are about to enter the battlefield." He looked at her, holding the door handle, opening the door to enter the "world" with a full sense of ritual. Human society is now dominated by automatic doors. Only Plato's
This ancient atmosphere is preserved in "Bukhara".
"No problem!" She confidently made an OK gesture.
In this way, they entered the "world", a battlefield for training warriors.
Two people stood in a bright, closed space, with a soft light shining all around. It was so quiet that there was no sound, like a three-dimensional space beyond time and space.
Soon, everything darkened, and the ceilings at the four corners of the room collapsed and extended into the distance like countless tiny digital pieces of hexagonal honeycombs. A special mirror effect seemed to reflect the images of the two people thousands of times.
In the same way, the images of Yiwan Xuanji and Kalki disappeared in a flash during the flip... The two of them seemed to be standing suspended in the dark and boundless universe.
When the sense of space changes, it means that the consciousness has been successfully connected. This is a game with unlimited choices. The consciousness exerciser can communicate with the intelligent system by himself and increase the special difficulty by himself, much like a person exercising his combat power in a dream. p>
"What are we playing? A battle for the fortress?" she asked him, "I am very confident in my marksmanship."
"Your marksmanship?" He smiled, "I've already learned about it, let's do something else."
"Hmph." She pouted, "I've made a lot of progress since then."

"Fighting against *** is not friendly to you and will end too quickly. Let's choose physical games and play ground traps!"
"Ah...Okay..." Xuanji answered very reluctantly. She hated this kind of game of trying to escape with the world falling apart. The psychological pressure was too strong, but she was afraid that Kalki would think she was a coward, so she could only bite the bullet.
Agree.
As she agreed, the entire background suddenly turned into gray and red. There was a dark spot on the ground, which slowly expanded outward into a large circle. They felt a strong gravitational force emanating from it, pulling the
They suck it in.
"It's starting!" He reminded her loudly.
A pit appeared under their feet that began to collapse from the inside out, and the two of them fell straight into it.
They just went straight to hell.
"Xuanji! Jump quickly! Jump!" Kalki ordered her loudly.
In this game, the way to counteract the acceleration of gravity is to jump on various stones that hit each other on both sides. However, these stones will shatter as soon as they are touched. This only provides a balance of gravity acceleration, rather than directly killing the trainer.
If the jump cannot be offset quickly, the acceleration of gravity will bring the feeling of falling straight to the center of the earth, which will give the trainee the best speed response training.
Xuanji gritted her teeth and tried her best to avoid countless rocks, sudden flames, and a stream of magma spraying towards her.
"Ah!! -" She finally screamed and ran away, my God! This game is so scary!
Sometimes she fell so fast that her vision became blurry and she couldn't even see Kalki's figure. The pressure caused by the acceleration of gravity was so great that she felt dizzy. Although they had excellent protection, their bodies still had to be
To fight at extreme speeds close to the speed of light, you must become accustomed to enduring extreme pressure.
Kalki is so light when falling and dodging. He can run and jump on various obstacles as he pleases, and is extremely comfortable in controlling the speed of his fall.
"Accelerate now!" He roared, no longer controlling the speed, but falling headfirst, as fast as light, like the legendary stars falling to the ground, as if he was the master of the underworld.
"Help...help!"
Xuanji was out of control. She was hurriedly jumping and dodging. The stones on the soles of her feet were shattered, and there were still gravels on her head like rain. Her vision was still blurry. This game made her feel so bad that she didn't even know it.
I had already screamed for help.
"You have to be brave! Control your consciousness!" Kalki encouraged her loudly, but she couldn't hear it at all. People live in their own world.
"Ah!——"
Xuanji screamed in horror, and a monster with soft legs suddenly jumped out of the hot magma. She jumped desperately to avoid the monster's whip-like tentacles, but her body directly hit the big rocks rolling down towards her like raindrops.
On the top, the person was shot away, and his back hit the black basalt wall with burning magma flowing down the side.
For a moment, her vision went dark.
"End!" was his voice.
Xuanji slowly regained consciousness and saw the suspended ground like the deep space of the universe.
"Xuanji, are you okay?"
She was kneeling on the ground, supporting her weak body with both hands.
All the illusions disappeared, returning to a boundless darkness like the universe, and then the countless hexagonal mirror digital films reflecting their figures reorganized from the distance, covering the sky like snow waves, and they returned to a world again.
In a white glowing closed room.
"Okay..." Her face was pale, her whole body was covered in sweat, and she wanted to vomit. It turned out that this was the feeling of being hit to death.
"Don't force yourself, even a grown man can't resist this feeling." Kalki was talking about the feeling of being "killed" in lokadhātu.
"I'm fine...everything is fine." She was still so stubborn, refusing anyone's overtures and care when she was weak.
He tried to help her up from the ground slowly and gracefully. "There should be a rest room here and there will be medical observation."
"I said no! This isn't the first time. It happens all the time in practice..." As soon as she finished speaking in a hurry, she felt like the world was spinning.
"Xuanji!" He instinctively hugged her with his arms, who almost collapsed to one side.
This is such an awkward embrace. Both want to break away, but they also want to get closer. Emotion and reason are like seesaws. They stand on this fragile balance point, reluctant to each other in this empty white space.
Hug.
"I don't like this game! It makes me feel disgusted." She said this very softly, but it sounded very gentle, and there was no trace of complaint.
"I'm sorry... I'm not very considerate of others. I won't choose this game again in the future." Kalki looked down at Xuanji, who was leaning against his shoulder. Her hair was very dark. She could always touch the softer side of his heart.<
/p>
The process of how to deal with a trainer who pops up due to "death" in the game is very clear. He can ask the intelligent robot administrator in the field to take her to rest using a suspended medical chair.
"I can leave on my own now." She raised her head proudly, glanced at him, and walked toward the glowing door in a weird posture.
What fascinates him most about her is this cold arrogance, which can give him an unusual sense of intimacy, because almost all the knights around him have this trait - an instinctive confrontation and contempt for the mediocre world.<
/p>
They ended the training early and returned to her small high-rise apartment in the "Sanchuan" residential area.
In addition to the large floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on three sides of the study room filled with ancient books, Xuanji also has many old-fashioned CDs and records in the living room. This is very different from the modern entertainment method where Gaians can use wristbands to read books and watch TV shows anytime and anywhere.
.
Kalki looked at her preservation of museum-grade antique playback equipment, and felt more and more interesting about her heart. She has the perfect retro spirit of Plato, a kind of untimely stubbornness.

She wore two braids and simple home clothes, kneeling on the floor, flipping through a drawer of old-fashioned CDs with colorful covers. Under the sunshine after dinner, Kalki thought this scene was interesting and interesting.
Warmth, he wanted to just watch her quietly.
"Listen to Wagner! It helps with digestion." She raised the CD she was going to listen to him.
He smiled, she looked very cute even when she was talking nonsense.
Kalki walked up to her and watched her operate an antique playback device, which made him curious.
"So you have so much Wagner's music." He sighed after seeing her drawer collection, "No wonder... you are the real Valkyrie."
Xuanji smiled proudly, "Today we are not listening to "The Ring of the Nibelungs", let's listen to the songs from "Tristan and Isolde"."
So, they sat on the cushions on the floor and listened to music together. Under the sunset of Gaia, Kalki was immersed in beautiful music for the first time. The velvety and melodious violin sound spread throughout her little world.
A tearful account of the immoral love in medieval times imagined in the romantic era.
Xuanji played his favorite aria Liebestod to him. The gorgeous soprano voice was so euphemistic and sad that she talked about all the longing for love and death in immoral love. Both of them listened intoxicatedly, as if they had already
Be withdrawn from this world and enter a purely spiritual realm.
"Love and hate, truth and falsehood, night and morning, illusion and reality..."
After a long time, Kalki sighed, "People are constantly wandering in this world. Perhaps only death can unite illusion and reality."
"Unity?" Xuanji asked curiously.
"Yes, the union of the false self and the true self. Death is the only way."
His nature as a philosopher came out again, and he was so fantasy that she was at a loss as to what to do.
"Valkyrie, take me out of this world with your hands." He whispered to her in German, unconsciously leaning his head on her shoulder.
Xuanji blushed. Kalki had two sides. One side frightened her, and the other side made her feel cute. His gentle appearance looked like a big golden retriever cat.
Then, the velvety and beautiful singing voice of the male and female duet "So starben wir, ungetrennt" in Act 2, Scene 2 swayed like water.
So starben wir, ungetrennt. Then let's die together
Ewig einig, ohne End′We are of one heart and one mind and will never be separated
Ohn′ Erwachen, ohn′Erbangen Never wake up, never be afraid
Namenlos in Lieb′umfangen, ganz uns selbst gegeben...Embrace each other in silent love, completely surrendering to each other...
It was the first time she heard Kalki singing. He sang softly along with the original singer in German. It was very soft and deep. He was obviously immersed in the emotional world of a pair of lovers who could not fall in love. It turned out that his singing voice was so charming and infectious.
Man, her heart was filled with emotion when she heard it.
The sunset on Gaia is so beautiful and the colors are so intense. Under this brilliance, Xuanji feels like she is in heaven, hoping that time will stop at this moment, staying at the moment when Kalki sings in a low voice.
After the music paused, they were silent for a long time in silence. He suddenly looked up at him, his blue eyes looked like cats in the dusk light, the iris of the pupil was surrounded by a circle of light brown, exuding bright
The golden light of his face was as perfect as a statue, and she felt her heart beating suddenly. She was bewitched, almost like a fanatical believer in ancient times looking at the statue of the god he prayed to day and night.
Suddenly, her wristband received a message, which vibrated on her wrist, bringing her ecstasy back to the real world.
This news was marked as important news, so she could only check it quickly.
Then while watching, Xuanji pulled her hair like a child. The world of Gaia can always slap a Platonic person whose soul has soared back to the ground in time.
For a long time, she smiled awkwardly and said to Kalki:
"Can you do me a favor? We're going to have a big fight tonight!"
