He came from the bell tonight

Chapter 18 Fei Lian

Several gray lop-eared rabbits are arranged in a cube on the holographic screen, surrounded by vigorous forest leopards, unicorns, and several different interstellar creatures.

The three malayan crocodiles collided and squeezed each other, and then disappeared.

——This is a classic elimination game that has been popular since the age of empires.

Su Ling sat upright by the window of the new library in District N, carefully observing these blocks.

Not long after, a line of "GAME OVER" popped up in the center of the screen, and another line of "Congratulations, your current ranking is No. 9 in Feilianxing Empire Academy District, which is 150 three places higher than last time".

Suling ordered the restart skillfully.

"...a boring game." Sitting opposite him, Xiao Huaiyan glanced out of the corner of his eye, and made a convincing conclusion.

Since they sat here, Su Ling has been playing for five hours in a row, enjoying it so much that they rarely even blink.

The holographic screen in front of him fell into darkness, and the investigation showed that the surveillance at home in Syracuse was damaged.

… I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been too tired from training recently, so I always fall asleep on the sofa unconsciously, and my face still hurts when I wake up.This morning, there is even a bruise on the lower jaw.

Xiao Huaiyan gave Milk Tea a repair order remotely.

"It's amazing——" Xizi held a heavy book, took a look at Su Ling, and let out an exaggerated exclamation.

Su Ling was not surprised, and heard a chuckle of disdain from the opposite side.

Xi Zidu immediately sighed: "You have only played for a few days and you are No. 9, which is higher than the ranking of the boss."

The other side was silent for a while, and reminded: "Xi Zidu, the firearms class is for you to learn the structure and practice the reaction, not to test the rules."

Xizi hugged the "Union Firearms Regulations" tightly, quite aggrieved: "But I really don't know how to do it. I was beaten in the actual combat class, why didn't I choose the law at the beginning-oh God, no, I have to work hard, Don’t let your family look down upon you!”

He clenched his fists and nodded dramatically.

Ou Chuchu laughed at the next table: "Austin, I won't watch this year's Cyber ​​Acting 101 without you."

Xizi twisted his shoulders, and amidst the disgusted eyes, he suddenly "hissed" and pointed at the corner of Suling's screen, where a pink envelope pattern was jumping and flashing.

The moment it was touched, the envelope exploded like fireworks, blocking Su Ling's sight.A huge holographic peacock stepped on one foot in front of it, shaking its posture, and its gorgeous tail feathers suddenly opened, very luxurious.

Ou Chuchu covered her mouth: "Confession letter?"

This is the most common "love letter" system nowadays, and it can be customized according to different needs. As long as you know the other party's name and fuzzy coordinates, you can send it, and it can also perform anonymous processing on the entire network according to your needs.

Su Ling frowned slightly.

The timing of the elimination game also accounts for the proportion of the score, and this game will soon exceed the score of the previous round.

Fortunately, he immediately saw the cancel button hidden among countless pop-up windows.

Both Ou Chuchu and Xizi, who were caught up in gossip, wanted to continue having fun, but Xiao Huaiyan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I know!" Xizi suddenly realized, "Boss doesn't like others to send love letters to Suling, or a male peacock with its tail open—"

Xiao Huaiyan tried his best to be calm, and impatiently pressed his fingers on the holographic keyboard: "It's nothing."

He closed his terminal and could see Suling's screen.Rubik's cube-like cubes are becoming more and more complex, making people dizzy.

The pink envelope below stopped only for a moment, and still danced annoyingly.

It doesn't necessarily have to be some boring suitor in the academy, or it may be a guy like Guo Qi who took the opportunity to spy on information. ...It would be too cunning to start with Suling.

Besides, Suling has almost nothing but his face.Boring personality, doesn't understand anything, as if he doesn't belong to this world all the time.

To most people, he is an anomaly.

Flattery, flattery, hypocrisy, nothing more than that.

Ou Chuchu was still chattering: "...the boss doesn't like a lot of things, Su Ling must be clearer than us, isn't it, Su Ling—"

Su Ling was only thinking about the cube on the screen.The next moment, the finger on the opposite side quickly touched the "Close" button under the pink envelope pattern one step ahead of him.However, the priority of eliminating the game is higher, and the interface recognition error directly pauses the game.

Amidst the regretful sounds of the crowd, Su Ling stared at the culprit suspiciously, as if conveying some kind of silent dissatisfaction.

Not only did Xiao Huaiyan not intend to apologize, but he lifted his chin leisurely.

"Then tell me, what do I not like?"

Su Ling was puzzled, but for the last group of animals that were about to be eliminated, he thought for a moment with his intuition.

"You don't like things that are out of your control."

His voice was calm, candid, without any concealment.

But Xiao Huaiyan laughed lowly: "Really."

He stood up with his fingers propped on the table, and leaned over to Su Ling's ear, meaning unclear: "Then you'd better be more obedient."

At this time, the cheers were deafening, and the advertisement was opened on the big screen facing the floor-to-ceiling windows.The scene is just the ruins of a deserted city, and the camera moves rapidly through it. Countless mimics are higher than the wall, looking for fragile prey.

"Today is the holographic simulation game?!" Ou Chuchu heard someone screaming excitedly not far away, "No wonder Lian Xiao ran away after class. Let's go, let's join in the excitement!"

The holographic simulation competition is the most attractive event of Imperial College every year, and almost all the students in the school will participate - of course, because of the confidentiality level of the military academy, the outside media cannot broadcast live, and only speculation will be left.Still, sponsors keep coming.

When Su Ling walked into the competition venue, there was a burst of exclamation from the audience.The first contestant flew out of the ring suspended in mid-air and fell on the inflatable cushion.

In the preliminary stage, the holographic mimics in full mode will be placed in the drawn map scene, and the contestants need to kill all the mimics within the specified time.In order to make the experience of the simulation competition more realistic, the contestants need to wear near-nano-level close-fitting clothing. If they are attacked by the scene, they will be directly transmitted to the human body.

In other words, although the damage received has the highest threshold, it is also an extremely frequent thing.

Students of this age are just fledgling, all gearing up and can't wait.

Lian Xiao waved his hand from a distance at the registration office: "Come on, one-click registration with student card! Don't suffer, don't be fooled!"

Ou Chuchu helped the frame on the bridge of his nose, saw the bruise on his face clearly, and hesitated a little: "You haven't been eliminated, have you?"

"I, I'll just play casually, who knows that the mimic is insidious and cunning!" Lian Xiao shouted angrily, "You must help me avenge."

Xi Zidu and Ou Chuchu looked at each other.

Xiao Huaiyan stood beside Su Ling, the corners of his mouth froze, feeling a little bad.

Sure enough, Lian Xiao's next sentence was: "I've signed up all of you, and you'll be able to sign up when you get the lottery later, and give them a little color in the senior year. We freshmen are not easy to bully."

His voice was drowned out in the sudden upsurge, a roar that almost burst through the dome.

Su Ling followed the prestige and saw the big screen showing the candidates for the second round.

Fourth grade, Sarah.

Third grade, Zheng Kanzhi.

First grade, Xiao Huaiyan.

The three people randomly selected by the system will enter into a fierce battle, and the one with the highest kill score in the scene will advance to the next stage, while the other two will be eliminated directly.

Su Ling felt that Xiao Huaiyan was enduring in the dark, and when he turned to leave, a ray of light hovered above his head and fell on him.

The host Frank's surprised voice came: "Look, Xiao Huaiyan is already waiting, it can be seen that I really can't wait—"

During Su Ling's observation, Xiao Huaiyan's indifferent expression slowly disappeared, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, showing his usual casual look.

The slender young man took a long leg and walked up the lifting platform neatly. What awaited him was an infinitely magnified lens and continuous voices.

Su Ling sat down in the middle of the auditorium, and heard the people around him gasp.

"...is it really Su Ling?" The man and his companion whispered, seeing Su Ling nod his head slightly, the whole person was shocked.

On the suspended platform, the ironed black shirt showed the slender figure of the young man, as pine as bamboo, indifferent and dignified.The youthful outline that has not completely faded away is still beginning to show sharpness, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that should have been glanced away lightly, lazy and unfeeling, opened up a full sense of distance.

Su Ling heard someone screaming, and immediately met Xiao Huaiyan's light gaze.

This is the second round of the holographic simulation competition, and no one has advanced so far.

After the three people on the stage arrived, Xiao Huaiyan installed a tiny nano-device on his wrist.

"Okay, long time no see."

The person next to Xiao Huaiyan nodded and bowed to him, and raised his face. It was the senior who had been punched by Su Ling last time, Sara.At this time, he was submissive and impolite.

The nano-device automatically generated close-fitting clothing for the three of them.Xiao Huaiyan pressed the blue-black metal wristband and pulled on the gloves.

Immediately afterwards, the audience fell into darkness.

Three, two, one.

bang——

The ruins of the city under heavy rain appeared in midair, and the camera cut to Sara and Zheng Kanzhi.Although such a scene is too large for the arena of more than a hundred square meters, the contestants in it will be confused by the ever-changing holographic buildings, causing speed and visual errors.

The contestants may feel that they have passed a whole street, but to the audience, it is only more than ten meters.

For example, Sarah is hiding behind a crumbling wall at this time, and an adult mimic is slowly passing through the street.The giant tentacles can pass through walls with ease, even making a very slight sound when they hit the ground.

Everything fell into silence.

Until Sarah clenched the gun tightly, she pointed the muzzle at one eye of the mimic while retreating backwards.

Before the trigger was pulled, there were only a few "bang bang", and a burst of bullets came from diagonally behind, hit the hard body of the mimic worm, and rolled to the ground.

The mimetic worm was not damaged at all, but immediately entered the attack state, its tentacles hooked the obstacle, and rushed towards the direction of the two.

"Are you a fool?!" Sara turned her head and ran away, yelling at Zheng Kanzhi who was in a hurry, "I told you to find its only true eye, what's the use of using it elsewhere? Go back and repair it!!"

Even with the help of high-tech power, the speed of mimics is far from what humans can compare with their thin and small bodies.

After a few strokes, the two of them were caught up.They tried to avoid the attack with the help of obstacles, but they couldn't find the moment to fight back.

Zheng Kanzhi let out a scream, and when the tip of the tentacles passed over his calf, the pain he had imagined thousands of times was not as heart-piercing as this time.

Compared with him, Sarah is not much better.The only difference is that Sara competes in the holographic simulation every year, and he knows that this time he made a mistake.

In their scene, only this one mimic was seen.In other words, whoever wins first wins.He originally wanted to shoot him at close range, but he was mistaken by Zheng Kanzhi, an idiot.

The crazy mimics will enter a strengthened state, and they cannot be easily killed at all.

Unless... Sara glanced at Zheng Kanzhi who was running away in a panic, and decisively fired a shot in his direction.

Lian Xiao whistled: "Damn, he's too dark."

"You don't have to fight when you come out," Xizi laughed, and suddenly became curious, "Where is the boss, where is he?"

In the dim scene, Xiao Huaiyan's figure had disappeared for a long time.

Su Ling's eyes were calm, and he replied: "Nanyin Twelve, Qing is superior."

Ou Chuchu and Lian Xiao fell into a daze.

Xi Zidu helped him translate: "North east, 20 meters high."

People around followed the prestige.I saw a black sniper rifle set up in the rainstorm on a hidden rooftop.At the same time, its user pulled the trigger.

Zheng Kanzhi covered his eyes and fell into despair.However, the failure was delayed, and three gunshots suddenly came from not far away, attracting the ferocious mimic in front of him.He even gave up the prey in front of him and ran towards the gunshot.

Sara took the opportunity to hold down the gun, and fired a shot at the real eye on the back of the mimic——

However, a golden bullet was faster and accurately killed the mimic.

The big screen lights up.

"Xiao Huaiyan, 4/4 have been killed."

The whole audience suddenly erupted into an uproar.

The moment the virtual scene disappeared, Su Ling happened to meet Xiao Huaiyan's eyes.

Standing under the light, he was at a vigorous age, showing his sharpness.The smile on his lips was shallow and clear, but also extremely arrogant.It is the disdain that drives the onlookers wildly intoxicated.As if all of this was taken for granted and not worth mentioning.

At that moment, those dark eyes were filled with flowing light, shining brightly.

Su Ling would not realize that it was a simple show off.

But he knew that look was very familiar, a bit like that gaudy peacock.
