"Wan Xingli from the New Territories, please report to the assessment registration office under the guidance of your introducer." A notice came from the room. I subconsciously looked around, but I didn't find where the sound came from.
.
"Let's go, what are you still looking at?" Qiu Yue urged.
"I was looking where the sound came from, and I didn't see any speakers or anything like that," I replied.
Qiu Yue smiled and said: "You don't understand the world of Yuanjie, and you will understand it slowly. I am too lazy to explain everything to you. Let's go report first, and don't delay the business."
"Okay, let's go check in first." I said, "Hey, but how are we going to get out?" Because only then did I realize that this room had no door at all, and there were only two other people in the room, Qiu Yue and me.
There is nothing else except the airframe maintenance bay and the closet.
"Well, let's go from here." Qiu Yue pursed her lips toward the closet.
"Isn't this a wardrobe? Can it also be used as a door?" It seems that I am OUT again.
"Of course, otherwise where would we get out?" Qiu Yue asked.
"Oh my god, tell me if this is still the Earth! Or maybe we are already on an alien planet!" I felt like a newborn child, unable to understand anything.
"Of course it's the Earth. It's just in the metaverse of the Earth. You must have read too many science fiction novels. Besides, we people from the New Territory are not qualified to contact alien brokers. You are overthinking it, little comrade.
." Qiu Yue said smoothly.
"What? What did you say? There really are alien brokers!" I shouted, staring at Qiu Yue with my eyes open.
There was a hint of panic on Qiu Yue's face, and she quickly waved her hands and said, "I'm just telling you nonsense. I'm joking with you. Don't take it seriously. I just want to relieve your nervousness, (*^__^*)" But how can I
It felt like Qiu Yue was hiding something because her smile was too forced.
"Haha, it's really funny. You have such a sense of humor. So how do we get out of the closet?" I pointed to the closet and said, since she didn't want to talk about it, there was no need for me to ask any more questions. We'll talk about this later.
Just look at your eyes.
Qiu Yue walked into the closet first, stood sideways, and then motioned for me to go in. I followed her example and stood sideways. Due to the limited space in the closet, we stood face to face, and Qiu Yue's nose was almost
It was close to my chest. This was the first time I looked at her so close. The appearance of Qiu Yue in front of me was no different from that in the New Territories, but after all, her body and mine were no longer our original New Territory bodies.
Especially my temporary body, which even looks like an uncle's. This feeling is really not good. It's like attending a masquerade, hiding the real self behind the mask, waiting for the performance in front of everyone.
show.
"Go to the assessment registration office." Qiu Yue said softly.
"I know, so you don't have to repeat it." I said, but then I knew I had said the wrong thing again, because just as Qiu Yue finished speaking, the closet door closed automatically and a red light came on inside.
, and then you can clearly feel the wardrobe moving horizontally, followed by vertical rise, translation, fall, stop, and then the door opens.
I followed Qiu Yue out of the closet or the elevator, because I really couldn't define what this thing was. Outside was a short corridor with several doors on both sides. At the end of the corridor was a security checkpoint similar to
Standing on both sides of the door mechanism were two men who were obviously guards. They were dressed in black clothes, black trousers, and white soft hats with a brim, and they looked at us with expressionless faces as we walked by.
Qiu Yue said to me softly: "I will go through that door first, and then you come with me. This is a frequently checked door." She actually explained it to me briefly. I nodded, then stopped and let her go first.
Pass the frequency inspection gate.
Qiu Yue walked towards the frequency inspection door. A light green light emitted between the door frames and flashed regularly several times. After Qiu Yue passed through, she waved her hand to me and motioned for me to pass. So I stepped forward.
This door had a faint blue light emitting from between the doorframes, and the light flashed chaotically a few times. I looked back, wondering if there was something wrong, but the two guards were still looking ahead expressionlessly.
Only one of them said a few words coldly: "Turn left and report to the registration office."
This arrogant expression is very similar to the receptionist of some Fortune 500 companies when I was applying for a job. They had a condescending attitude and always looked at people through their nostrils.
Qiu Yue pulled me and walked to the left, straight to the assessment registration office. This was a hall with people coming and going. It was very lively. There were all kinds of people, and there were also some people in uniforms who should be working.
Staff. When I was looking around, Qiu Yue in front of me was talking to someone about something.
When I saw it, it turned out to be a pretty boy (this is my unified name for the so-called handsome guys. I always thought that these are a group of guys who live by their looks). Is this girl a nymphomaniac? I muttered in my heart.
"Oh, don't be sad. You've tried your best. There's nothing you can do about it. When you get back, take care of the rest. Otherwise, you can come with us and you can help me with some ideas." Qiu.
Yue said to the pretty boy in a comforting tone.
"Who is this? Qiu Yue." I walked up and asked.
"Oh, this is my friend, Di Xiaobo." Qiu Yue replied, and I felt a pang in my heart.
"Hello, I'm Wan Xingli, and I'm here to take the assessment with Qiu Yue." I stretched out my hand to the pretty boy.
"Ah, hello." The pretty boy just glanced at me without extending his hand. The boy's eye circles were a little red, and he seemed to have cried just now.
"Then you wait for us here for a while, I will take him to report first." Qiu Yue said softly. The pretty girl nodded.
I walked behind Qiu Yue and asked, "Where is this from? Is he from Yuanjie? Or is he just like us?"
"Like me, I brought someone here to take the assessment." Qiu Yue said as she walked, but she was obviously a little absent-minded about me. She probably still had that pretty boy in her heart.
"Then what's wrong with him? It looks like he just cried, and why is he alone? I don't see anyone he brought here." I continued to ask.
"Why, why, you are so annoying! Isn't this already obvious? The people he brought were annihilated when they crossed the frequency barrier. How do you think he feels now?" Qiu Yue was anxious.
"Oh." I replied. In fact, it was almost the same as my guess. I just wanted to verify it. However, thinking about this, I was really glad that I was not annihilated. Of course, I also felt sorry for the unfortunate person.
"But what should be done with that person's body in the New Territory? It's the person who unfortunately was annihilated."
"Vegetative state! Haven't you heard of it?" Qiu Yue replied angrily.
"That's right, it's so unfortunate." I was indeed a little sad, after all, a person who lived a good life was gone like this, and there was no chance of rebirth.
"Put your head over here." A cold voice came over. It turned out that we had already arrived at the registration desk at the front desk. A man dressed like a Teletubbies looked at me expressionlessly and said.
I stretched my head over, and he took something like a helmet and put it on my head. Then he lowered his head and was busy operating something. I leaned out and stretched out my head. This posture was really uncomfortable, although
This body was not my own, but the uncomfortable feeling coming from my body really affected my mind. So I shook my neck and straightened my waist.
"Did I tell you to move? Don't move around and keep the same position." Teletubbies ordered in a very stern tone.
"But you didn't ask me to stay still?" I argued, feeling angry.
"Oh, I'm not short-tempered. Is it possible that people from the New Territories have such a bad temper after their consciousness body has gone through the frequency barrier and the loss is small?" He said in a weird way.
"Conscious body?" I didn't understand for a moment and looked at Qiu Yue.
"This is the soul we are talking about." Qiu Yue said to me in a low voice.
Although Qiu Yue's voice was low, the teletubbies across from me still heard it. The corners of his mouth curled up and he rolled his eyes at me with disdain. This expression clearly said, you are such an ignorant guy.
Qiu Yue kicked me from below. I understood what she meant, so I swallowed back the words that were in my throat. Oh, forget it, I can bear it. Who told me that I was on someone else’s territory? What a human being
I had to bow my head under the low eaves.
"Wan Xingli, you have been assigned to number 12, please stretch your arm over." Teletubbies continued to order.
How does he know my name? He didn't even ask, I thought as I stretched out my arm. Teletubbies held something shaped like a pistol and tapped my arm with the square head on it.
At that time, I felt numbness in my arm, like an electric shock. So, I instinctively retracted my arm. I didn't care about this body that didn't belong to me, it was just the self-protection instinct in my consciousness.
"Bring your arm back, who asked you to move it?" Teletubbies got a little angry.
"I also have good intentions. If this body is damaged, it will be a loss to you." I decided to tease the Yuanjie person in front of me.
"You don't need to worry about it. We have a lot of bodies like this here. If they break, just throw them away as garbage. There's no loss." Teletubbies said to me with his two nostrils.
He took out a stick-shaped object that glowed light yellow and scanned the marked area on my arm.
"Take your arms away. Registration is complete. You can go to the rest area and wait for the assessment notification." Teletubbies said without raising his head.
"Thank you. Nice to meet you. Goodbye." I said angrily. This feeling was really unpleasant because I felt like I was being dragged to the Animal Quarantine Bureau and was given a blue stamp of quarantine.
pig.
Qiu Yue dragged me away from the registration office, complaining as she walked: "Why are you so arrogant? You have to answer every word they say, or you won't get the best results."
"Do they have any fruit here? If so, give me a set, without the intestines and more eggs. You are not a person who compromises!" I said unconvinced.
"Okay, okay, you are the only one who has the backbone. Let me tell you, here, you are a little bit shy. If something happens, I can't protect you." Qiu Yue stared at me bitterly and said.
I bowed my hands to Qiu Yue and said, "Yes." So, I followed Qiu Yue to find the pretty boy.
