Huo Deming, this young man who happened to witness the take-off of the Nobelinde Military Academy when he was a student, is now also in charge of the affairs of this school. At that time, he studied investigation and intelligence. During his internship, he was lucky enough to investigate a virus infection case.
After catching Zhao Hongyi's eyes, he was "trained" by Principal Zhao for a month, and that month was, in Huo Deming's words: a painful process, but a huge gain.
Huo Deming sat at his desk and took out the letter again, reading it several times. At the same time, he also stared at the ancient quartz clock on the right side of the desk. The knock on the door rang again, this was the third time.
Knock on the door, only three times each time, once every second, once every 10 minutes, no more, no less, neither fast nor slow, the timing is so precise that it is incredible.
Ignoring the person who knocked on the door, Huo Deming thought that he had learned a little bit from the old principal about how to confirm the authenticity of a thing, and wanted to deceive him.
There shouldn't be many people left.
When the seventeenth knock was struck, Huo Deming simultaneously received three electronic reports, a letter paper material test report, an ink carbonization report and a report on the authenticity of the seal of the Northern Army Headquarters.
After reading all the identification data, Huo Deming took a long breath. This letter is true!
What's more important is the title "son-in-law" mentioned in the letter. Others don't know Zhao Hongyi's true identity, but Huo Deming knows very well that the word son-in-law is... a very prominent status.
Approval, what does the old principal mean?
When the twenty-one knock was reached, Huo Deming stood up and opened the office door.
The door slowly opened, and the clear sunshine had already hit the head. The worn-out military uniforms looked more military-style under the scorching sun. Huo Deming looked at the young man in front of him, and the first thing he felt was one word, steady, and then stared at it carefully.
I just felt a chill in my bones for no reason, so the second word came to my mind, cold.
Huo Deming couldn't see a trace of irritation in the young man's expression. No, it should be said that he couldn't see a trace of expression. Even though the young man stood outside the door for nearly three hours, Huo Deming wanted to find any clues in the young man's expression, but in front of him, he couldn't see any trace of irritation.
Facing the young man in front of him, who was favored by the old principal, he suddenly felt that he had lost a little confidence. For some reason, Huo Deming looked a little dazed several times when he looked at the young man in front of him, as if he was facing an extremely dangerous, cunning, and fierce beast.
of - animals.
This is a very difficult person to mess with,
Such people often follow rules.
…
"Sit" Huo Deming returned to his seat, motioned with one hand for the young man to sit on the sofa opposite and said: "Drink tea"
The young man sat on the sofa politely, picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip and put it back without making any sound. Then he glanced at the shadow position next to the bookshelf in the office on the left, and then returned to his unchanged sitting posture.
With a smile on his face, Huo Deming asked casually like a kind elder making daily arrangements:
"I have read the letter of recommendation, and I have some doubts about your introduction, so I asked you to ask about the Independent Regiment of the Northern Army, where you served previously."
"Yes."
"Have you ever read a book before?"
"No."
"Then do you know the Nobelinde Military Academy?"
"Not sure."
"Then why do you come here to study?"
"Military Headquarters Order."
"The resume says that you participated in the Battle of Heiheling and the Battle of Cape Tumu?"
"Yes."
"I don't know about the Battle of Heiheling, but the five battalions of the 3rd Brigade of the 72nd Regiment that participated in the Battle of Tumu Point were completely wiped out. How are you still alive?"
"Sorry, this question is beyond my authority to answer."
"Oh? What about the Battle of Heiheling?"
"Sorry, this question is beyond my authority to answer."
"It doesn't matter, I'll just ask."
…
Lin Qianhua's extremely concise answer did not disgust Huo Deming. For Huo Deming, the content of the answer is not important, but the way of answering is important. Regardless of the tone, words, expressions and reactions, it is indeed the old principal's style of leading people.
This legendary principal who looks a bit mean and a little bit evil is actually famous for his iron-blooded pride. Whether the students or soldiers he trained, they all have a sense of arrogance. And the cold and arrogant young man in front of him
People, at least for now, didn't let Huo Deming see any flaws.
"Okay, although there is a recommendation from the military, the school rules set by the old principal of Nobelinde Military Academy cannot be broken. There is still a spot for a cleaner in the Prime Power Engine Laboratory. You can go there first. You can only pass the internal assessment of the military academy next year.
Becoming an official school student, of course, during your free time you can go to the school’s public classes and attend lectures. Any questions?”
"No."
"Well, you should prepare well. If you have any questions, you can ask Instructor Cao, the boy who received you."
"Okay." Lin Qianhua stood up and gave Huo Deming a standard military salute. When he turned to leave, he added:
"Thanks."
…
No matter how far the times have developed, wealth and poverty and class can never be eliminated. This is both the need of order and the dictates of human nature; the city of Cartnir where Nobelinde Military Academy is located is an important administrative center city of the Federation and the planet of Cart.
Star Capital City is one of the 36 star capital cities in the Federation with a typical class distinction and a huge gap between rich and poor.
The Saigonized District of Catnier City is dominated by foreign and immigrant populations, and the security and environment are not satisfactory. Most of the buildings are a hundred years old, and the facilities are old and severely damaged. Basic supplies are also chronically insufficient.
It is a typical poor area in the city. The establishment of the Moringale Wall marks that the Catnir Municipal Government has implemented a high degree of supervision over the area. Anyone who wants to enter or leave the area needs to go through strict review.
Lin Qianhua lost his childhood memories and seemed to grow up to his twenties overnight. Then he was abandoned in the Saigon District and was adopted by an old man named Qin who repaired aeroplanes and ships.
After returning from Nobelin Military Academy, Lin Qianhua always felt that this was unreal. The real situation and the previous dream-like experience were like riding a roller coaster from hell to heaven. As a teenager from a slum, he could be in Nobelin
Studying and living in the German Military Academy makes people excited just thinking about it. At this moment, Lin Qianhua's heartbeat was very fast. Part of it came from excitement and joy, but the other part was due to an inexplicable fear hidden deep in his heart.
This is actually just a well-planned scam!
Lin Qianhua didn't even know how he got out of the school. From the moment he entered the school gate, his body was not controlled by his consciousness, but by the disgusting "corrosive monster" in his body.
He just answered a few questions and said a few words according to the requirements of the "Corrosive Monster"...
But a miracle really happened... He was actually hired by the Nobelinde Military Academy, even though he was just a cleaner.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Lin Qianhua, who had passed the checkpoint review of the Moringale Wall and walked home, opened the door of his room. At this time, his adoptive father, Old Man Qin, should be crawling on the body of a heavily made-up slut to vent his sexual desire. On the west side of the room,
There is an iron desk made of used machine tools placed in the window. A complicated gear set is inlaid on the upper right side of the table. On it is a pot of fern similar to "predator grass". The pot is shaped like an upside-down gourd.
The plant had been with Lin Qianhua for five years, and Old Man Qin told him: When Old Man Qin fished him out of the sewage pond at Willimadel Pier, he was skin and bones and no different from a skeleton, even though he was unconscious.
They all clung to this strange plant.
Five years ago, this pot of fern that resembled a "predator grass" had four curled-leaf balls that resembled an upside-down gourd. Five years later, a new ball of curled leaves that resembled an upside-down gourd grew. But now this pot of plant has only
Remove the last newly grown leaf curler.
This is the last leaf-rolling ball. When Lin Qianhua thinks of this, the excitement in his heart disappears. Due to anxiety, his legs and feet instinctively twitch. The inexplicable fear hidden in his heart becomes more and more intense. There are less than four hours left for today.
It's about to end. The three things that the disgusting corrosion monster promised are to enter and exit the restricted area freely; to enter the Nobelinde Military Academy; this pot of fern will grow another young leaf of the curled leaf today. Now watch
Come on, the first two things were achieved, but the third thing was what Lin Qianhua wanted to happen the most, because it was related to his life.
Since Lin Qianhua was adopted by Old Man Qin, his body has been experiencing a series of strange symptoms, especially the periodic malignant and disorderly growth of tumor-like things that have made him miserable. The symptoms will break out about every year or so.
Strange to say, Old Man Qin called many people to check for him, but there were still no results. The violent and bloodthirsty Old Man Qin sent them to see the King of Hell in a fit of rage. But this pot of unattractive ferns was able to suppress Lin Qianhua's disease.
Every time the symptoms worsened, Lin Qianhua would take a piece of rolled leaf ball. It can be said that this strange plant is the key to Lin Qianhua's life. Now there is only one piece left. According to the normal growth rate, it will take about 4 years for it to grow.
If he grows another one today, he will undoubtedly live for another year if the Corrosion Monster says it will.
But the more this happened, the more Lin Qianhua felt the terror of the unknown parasite in his body.
Lin Qianhua looked at the lighted room on the west side of the repair yard. A slender figure hit the glass window. Lin Qianhua hoped that he could live longer.
As for the encounter with this corrosive monster, we have to start from two months ago...
Time goes back to more than two months ago... June 2nd, it rained
In the rainy season, continuous light rain almost never stops in Caternel City, and it is also the best time for fishing. Poor people who make a living by fishing will take advantage of this rainy season, which only lasts for less than two months, to go fishing. That day Lin Qianhua clearly understood
I remember that the rain was very heavy, and many marine fish swam to the surface. Lin Qianhua, who often fished at Willimadel Pier, dug out a half-inch square piece of wood from the mouth of a two-foot-long spinetail fish.
It was covered with black sticky pollutants. Through these disgusting pollutants, you could barely see a figure carved on the wood chips. Lin Qianhua didn't care at the time. Floating objects like this were sucked into the bodies of marine animals.
It's a very common thing. Although the federal government is vigorously promoting environmental protection of marine animals, who in this damn ghost place will pay attention to those things. For Lin Qianhua, they are just people who are full and have nothing to do and don't care about their own kind.
It is simply unreasonable to worry about the quality of life of creatures below the human food chain.
The removed wood chips gave off a faint fragrance, which dissuaded Lin Qianhua from throwing it away. Lin Qianhua had never smelled this smell before, but the inexplicable excitement from the pituitary gland after inhaling it gave Lin Qianhua a vaguely familiar feeling.
, this feeling seems familiar, but I can't grasp the source of its memory. Instead, it is more of an instinctive memory of the body's senses.
Lin Qianhua felt that anything that made him feel familiar was precious. Just like the strange fern on the table, Lin Qianhua made a simple square pendant with black iron and embedded the wood pieces in the pendant.
He also tried to clean the contaminants on the surface of the wood chips, but to no avail.
However, the moment Lin Qianhua hung the pendant around his neck, the contaminants that could not be cleaned off the surface of the wood chips automatically began to slowly gather together, condensing into a drop of dark green viscous liquid material that separated from the wood carving.
On the surface, it quietly penetrated into the skin of Lin Qianhua's chest...
