The unfamiliar ceiling is made of solid wood, and it doesn't feel like being in a ward.
The strange thing is that through the light of the guidance lamp, I can see that the raised palms are one size smaller than the ones in her memory. Ling remembers that she should have taken over the task as the executor in Ereboni.
The sub-empire investigates the hidden elf cave, and the memories that can be recalled are interrupted here.
No, something's wrong
Something's wrong
Although I have a general impression, I can't remember the details at all. In a word, it just feels hazy and thin.
In addition, Ling also found that the way she thought about problems was very different from the way she looked at the world before. It was as if she was a different person from the inside out.
To put it bluntly, it was a feeling of irritability that had never appeared before, spreading in my heart.
What, it turned out that those few years of just watching things were all a dream?
So the depression in my heart now is just the anger when I wake up?
No, wait...
"You're awake."
A young man with pale blond hair, Reinhardt. Next to him is another familiar figure, Joshua?
"Um, um, I'm awake."
Ling found that she was not speaking fluently. Is it because she slept for too long? Or was it caused by the influence of dreams.
Noisy news started to pop up one after another, and they all wanted to get into their minds. Thanks to the d∴g Order, all the subjects were subjected to experiments collectively known as "power development" without exception. In her case,
It is also particularly prominent among the superpowers discovered by the d∴g Order. Although she has concealed this well in the past, she is not afraid to use her ability. It is also called generalized intelligence orientation, and one of the special abilities of this power is
One application method is to read minds. It is not the same as judging whether the other person is lying, but a more thorough peek. According to the knowledge of the time traveler, it is probably the same as the demonized Yoya in the final chapter of "Zero No. 2"
Associate Professor Simjunta is a bit similar, but in terms of ability, he is far inferior to that one.
"What time is it now, how many days have I been sleeping, and... who are you?"
The first half of the sentence is true confusion, and the second half is not asking questions knowingly, but to confirm some information about oneself and the surrounding environment.
"You can finally speak. My name is Reinhardt and his name is Joshua."
When the pale-blond young man answered her questions, she also activated her powers to confirm these. Ling's ability is not as omnipotent as the demon-turned-Yoacim. He can directly peek into the information deep in people's memories. At best, it can only
She can read superficial thoughts, but only when the other party is not alert. She can read Reinhardt's thoughts but not Joshua's. This is also easy to understand. Reinhardt treats her like
There is no defense, but there is a barrier created by White-faced Galug Wiseman outside Joshua's consciousness. It is not only a shackle but also a protection. The superb technology that barely glues his broken heart together is far from Ling's.
The level that half a bucket of water can penetrate.
In January 1197 of the Qiyao Calendar, Reinhardt and Joshua destroyed the d∴g Order's special stronghold Paradise in the Kalvard Republic and rescued Ling. This is the information known to the time traveler. Can and
If the reality in front of me corresponds to the above number, it also means that those past life memories that I still vaguely remember in my mind are not imaginary.
I carefully sorted out the information fed back in my mind. At that time, calculated according to their birth dates, Reinhardt was 21 years and 8 months old, Joshua was 11 years and 1 month old, and Ling was 5 years and 10 months old.
And after that...
"Do you remember where your home is? We can send you to your family."
Home is such a strange word.
I learned from Reinhardt that more than a month had passed since Ling was rescued by them, and it was now the end of February in the 1197th year of the Qiyao Calendar. Thanks to the d∴g Order, she has strong self-healing ability.
Somewhat unusually, it only took two days for the internal injuries of the organs and the external injuries of the flesh to be healed with water-based guidance magic. However, the mental trauma was not as easy to heal as the physical injuries. Although she opened her eyes
, but for this month, he was like a walking zombie without saying a word. But his sudden return to consciousness today was actually somewhat beyond their expectations.
"Levi, this won't work. I remember reading from the intelligence that most of the children of the d∴g sect were sold by their parents. Even if they return to their original homes, they will not be happy." The speaker was
After Joshua Astley destroyed the paradise, they also accepted all the information there on behalf of the association. Of course, this also included the origins of the experimental subjects.
He was right, even if he went back, he would not be able to return to happiness. Ling's situation was a little different from other picky girls. The person who sold her to the paradise was not her biological parents, nor her adoptive father and mother, but just
They were just human traffickers who abducted her. As for her biological parents... In fact, Ling no longer remembers. Although the information from the time traveler told her that her biological parents are Mr. and Mrs. Hayvas from Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, and her adoptive father and mother are
The residents of the Republic border who died in the fire, but that kind of thing has no real feeling at all. Rather, it would be better to say that Reinhardt and Joshua, who had good intentions towards her, could become her family.
"Letting the association take over is not a good way out. If possible, I still hope that this child can live a normal life."
"No, I do."
She rejected Reinhardt's offer to return to her ordinary days.
"Can I tell you something?"
Reinhardt found that Ling's thoughts were clear and she didn't look like someone who had just woken up, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Children with extraordinary talents are not uncommon in the association, and Joshua next to him is an example.
The Body-Eating Snake, as Ling knows, is the name of the organization the two of them belong to. Executor No. 2 Sword Emperor, Executor No. 13 Black Fang. They carried out the commission in the Republic and rescued them from the Paradise Stronghold.
Ling Ling did it easily.
Associations are not welfare institutions.
But it's not like there isn't room for children, even though it's not a good place.
Speaking of candidate executors, there was actually no such part three years ago. An apostle is an apostle, and an executor is an executor. Someone will be invited to become an executor, either by the invitation of the leader or the apostle of the snake, but three years ago, seven
In the year 1194 of the Yaoli calendar, the situation changed somewhat. In the process of expanding its manpower, the association annexed the Moonlight Trojan Group, a long-established assassination organization, and not only acquired the fourth pillar of the Serpent Apostle, the Thousand Ring Breakers and the Executor no.
3 Golden Butterfly also accepted the killer training institution under the Moonlight Trojan Group. The children in the training institution are nominally candidates for execution, but in fact the courses they study are still the killer training of the Moonlight Trojan Group. Special explanation
What's surprising is that Joshua's assassination techniques not only absorbed the inheritance of the Moonlight Trojans, but also included the essence of the assassination techniques from the Holy Province of Qiyao Church. According to Ling's guess, that should be the information Uncle Wiseman showed him.
.
The Body-Eating Snake is an organization that operates across the entire continent, but currently, the focus of its work is the recruitment of manpower and the three major plans included in Orpheus's final plan (Gospel Plan, Phantom Flame Plan, and Eternal Reincarnation Plan)
preparation work.
The association base located on the northwest shore of Lake Valyria in the Kingdom of Libel is a newly built ultra-modern testing ground built with the strength of the Thirteenth Workshop. As for the location, it was not chosen randomly. Although no one told her, but from "The Sky"
Judging from the plot of "Trajectory SC", the sky above Lake Valyria is the future sky city Laputa. Oh no, it is the place where the floating city Liber's Ark appears.
Closer to home, at the same time that Ling woke up, Levi and the others had almost completed their mission in the Republic and were preparing to return to the association's stronghold, including their intention to resettle Ling.
The southwestern part of the Republic of Kalvard borders the eastern part of the Kingdom of Liber. The return journey of the enforcers was quite fast, and it only took two days to arrive. Of course, Ling, who had not yet started training, was not the kind of enforcer who could travel 8,000 cels a day.
With her strong legs, she was almost held by Levi the whole time. It felt like an old father taking his daughter on an outing...
Ling's own biological mother "Sophia Hayvas" was pregnant with her when she was eighteen years old. According to the holy book of Qiyao Church, there is a general rule on the continent of Samlia that a person must be twenty years old to be considered an adult. According to Crossbell
According to the laws of the autonomous prefecture, Sophia was still a minor even when she gave birth to Ling.
It is said that children in rural areas get married earlier. Hamel can be considered a small rural area in a powerful empire. After all, in "Kiseges of Cold Steel 4", the empire could recruit 1.2 million troops at will, and Hamel
The entire village has less than a hundred people in total, and the size of Hamel is not even one hundred thousandth compared to the Erebonian Empire with a population of tens of millions... If Joshua's biological sister Karena
Stray is not dead, maybe Levi's child is already four or five years old?
Ah, this is really a boring delusion.
To be precise, this is not the first time she has come to the association base. It is not just the game knowledge in the memory of the time traveler, but also the precognitive dream that has been lingering in her mind before.
Aude, Kaji, Ouli...
When I saw the children who were about the same age as myself, I naturally thought of the names of these "classmates". Although in the precognitive dream, they all died in Patil Matil's docking experiment...
…
"New girl? So cute."
Looking back at the speaker, Ling recalled for a moment that it was Camper who was as big as a brat.
"Kaji, she is looking at me!" There is no malice, just pure curiosity. There is not much in them that still belongs to the child.
The stage of primary education that belongs to association...how should I put it, is not that interesting.
The course schedule of the training center is fully arranged, which is similar to the military management of military academy students. There is basically no time for free activities. The training load is also very heavy, probably so tired that you will lose consciousness as soon as you touch the bed. But
Overall, life here is much more comfortable than when I was a pick-up girl in the paradise.
The cultural courses can be summed up as Chinese and Mathematics. The entire continent of West Semlia has the same language, so there are no foreign language courses. Although there are differences in dialects and accents, even people from the southernmost Kingdom of Liberia can
There will also be no language barrier in the northernmost Principality of Remifilia.
Other than that, the rest is "physical education class", although Ling doesn't know if it's appropriate to call it that. From the posture of holding a dagger to the makeup skills, to be precise, it should be killer training. It has been passed down by the Moonlight Trojans since ancient times.
Traditional skills, after the Body-Eating Snake absorbed the Moonlight Trojan Group, these became the required courses for the executor candidates.
Swords, spears, clubs, axes...weapons other than daggers are also within the scope of teaching, although they are not that in-depth. The people who teach these classes are current executors. For example, the swordsmanship instructors at the training center are
Levi. The reason why there are these courses is because the base’s most powerful person, Uncle Wiseman, gave the executioners a commission, and they are remunerated.
Ling has not yet met the third pillar of the Snake Apostle, the white-faced Galug Wiseman, who is the highest person in charge of the Body-Eating Snake in the Kingdom of Liber. Although his qualifications are actually not older than Levi... Huai
Sman only joined the association with Joshua in 1195, and Levi was one of the only three executors of the association in 1193. By the way, the other two executors were Joker and Jie Yan. Levi was
In addition to the leader, the fifth person to join the association. The first four people are the executor no.0 Joker, the executor no.1 Jie Yan, the seventh pillar of the snake apostle, the Saint of Steel, and the first pillar of the snake apostle.
The five Serpent Apostles from the second to the sixth pillar are actually Levi's juniors in terms of their association experience...
After Wiseman left the Seven Yao Church and joined the Body-Eating Snake as a broken monk two years ago, he would still come to see his patients from time to time as Joshua's attending doctor. Ling guessed that it was probably Uncle Wiseman.
The purpose of maintaining false stigmata and implanting new hints on Joshua.
The relationship between Ling and her classmates can neither be said to be good nor bad. The children who are here basically have a reason to be here.
The continent of Samria as a whole is not peaceful. It is most common for the students in the training center to have their families destroyed, and there are also many people who want to become stronger, want revenge, and want this or that.
All in all, they are generally precocious. Although they are partners, they are also competitors who are candidates for executors. However, there does not seem to be a limit on the number of executors? As long as the strength reaches the standard, you can become a full-fledged executor, just like the executor in 1196 of the Qiyao Calendar.
Executor No.9 who was promoted from candidate to full-time died in the same way as Executor No.13 Black Fang who was promoted from candidate to full-time in 1197 of the Qiyao Calendar.
Death Line and Black Fang are undoubtedly the role models that the executor candidates in the training center look up to.
However, she felt that there was no need to follow the steps in the precognitive dream all over again. For some reason, she rarely appeared in the precognitive dream, and it could even be said that she almost never used the powers she obtained in the d∴g Order in life.
able.
If you think about it carefully, it should be a difference in mood?
The "Ling" in the dream, who has no sorrow, no joy, no desires and no desires, indeed has no need to use that "power".
However, the "she" who lives in the present is different from the "her in the dream". The "she" in the dream has never had the feeling of wanting to do a little bit for her "family". She watched helplessly.
Is Xiuya being tricked by Wiseman's bad uncle? Watching Levi die like in the plot? Sorry, she can't be so indifferent. Even if her efforts can't save anything in the end, she still wants to do something.
