The Collection of The End

——AD.2156.5.20——

Normandy.

"Get to know each other, this is our lookout 'Apoc', our navigator 'Switch', our material manager 'Cypher', our repairman 'Tank' and our 'Dozer' , as well as ship's doctor 'Mouse', and stormtrooper 'Trinity'."

Morpheus introduced Anderson to the crew members who came to the infiltration area one by one, but Anderson couldn't remember it at the moment and could only roughly connect the names with their appearances. For example, the pager was a gloomy man with long hair, the switch was a woman with short white hair, and the password was a password. The bald man with a mustache, the tank and the bulldozer are a pair of Indian brothers with pigtails, the mouse is a teenager who seems to be underage, and as for Trinity...only her name is incompatible with her colleagues, oh, and There's Captain Morpheus.

“If I were just listening to the job titles, I would have thought this was a traditional ocean-going wooden-hulled sailing ship,” Anderson commented. “Where were those crew members I saw earlier?”

"Ah, the Age of Discovery is indeed similar," Morpheus nodded: "By analogy, they are 'ordinary sailors'."

"What about me?" When he asked this question, Anderson regretted it. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if Morpheus directly answered "Savior".

"Everyone has their own responsibilities, but this is not static. They may have positions that they are good at, but they can also take on other positions if necessary without major problems," Murphys said, looking at Anderson. : "Personally, I hope you can become a 'surveyor'."

The job of this position seems to be to plan the navigation route for the entire ship based on the environment, which is a bit too heavy a responsibility.

Before considering whether to shirk it, Anderson suddenly noticed a certain word: "You said... you hope I can?"

"Of course, although Morpheus believes that you are the 'Savior', if you cannot show enough ability and he forces everyone to listen to you just by relying on the legend of the 'Savior' and the authority of the captain, there will be great resistance," Cui Nettie put down a frame: "The first thing you need to do is study."

Although he wanted to say, "I have returned what I learned in school to the teacher a long time ago," Anderson realized in time that she could not be referring to knowledge in the traditional sense, but was probably some kind of "skill", so she obediently Lying into that frame.

After lying in, he discovered that the transparent "lid" that he originally thought was only visible from the outside. When looking from the inside out, the position of his head was a large "display screen" with a row of words flashing on it. .

【ConstructOnline】

Before Anderson could ask what it was,

The letters on this display screen instantly turned into several rays of seven-colored light and rushed towards you.

"This is……"

When Anderson regained consciousness, he found that he was in a strange white space. Although he felt down to earth, he saw pure white in all directions and could not distinguish the boundary between heaven and earth.

"This is the connection program (Construct). We simulate the virtual space built by the matrix. It is generally used for training and learning knowledge. The equipment you want to bring into the matrix is ​​also loaded here." Morpheus suddenly appeared not far from Anderson. Department, explain the Tao as a matter of course.

"So, what am I going to learn? Weapons handling and vehicle piloting?" Anderson asked.

"No, that kind of thing can be mastered through 'indoctrination'. What you need to learn now is fighting and parkour." Morpheus answered.

"What?" Anderson suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Are you wondering about 'indoctrination' or 'learning content'?" Morpheus pushed up the sunglasses on his face.

"Well, maybe a little bit of all of them," Anderson raised his hand and nodded his head: "And, are the contents of 'indoctrination' and 'learning' reversed?"

"This is a common misunderstanding, Neo, maybe you think that as long as you master your own skills, you can use them flexibly, but the skills for using foreign objects need to be tempered, but in fact, those skills for using foreign objects can also be 'instilled' , and because everyone has different perceptions of themselves, their performance based on their own abilities will vary widely and cannot be standardized. Maybe you will have a more realistic sense of it through actual practice." Morpheus raised his head slightly: "Tank?"

At this moment, some kind of "wave" surged through. After that, the completely pure white space was replaced by a martial arts gym full of oriental style, and the clothes on Morpheus and Anderson were also replaced by a set of pure black martial arts. Fighting uniform.

"Oh, kung fu?" Anderson tugged on his clothes: "But I don't seem to know how to do it at all."

"Name a fighting master you know, whether he is good at boxing, judo, karate or Sanda, and we will instill in you the fighting ability he possesses. Of course, it is only his ability as perceived by the public, not his My real skills." Morpheus put his hands behind his back, looking a bit like a martial arts teacher.

"That...Bruce Lee?" Anderson tried to put on a nondescript posture.

"Jet Kune Do? Very good." Morpheus lowered his body, placed his palms forward and back, and walked slowly towards Anderson.

"Wait, I haven't—"

【Wow——dah——! 】

With a powerful war cry, Anderson saw a capable man wearing a yellow jumpsuit with black edges, black hair, black eyes, and a resolute face. He was surrounded by a group of sunglasses and black suits, but he was advancing and retreating. He has a degree of control and powerful punches and kicks. He will knock down the attacking enemy with three punches and two kicks, and he will fight in and out of the enemy formation. No one can be his enemy in one attack.

Anderson was looking excited when he saw the man in the black suit suddenly turned back towards him after knocking away the last man in black suit. Anderson was shocked to find that the man's face had been replaced by his own at some point.

call--

The illusion receded in an instant, and Morpheus, who was walking towards this side, had just taken two steps.

"Is this 'indoctrination'?" Anderson shook his head, raised his fists and made a Jeet Kune Do start to Morpheus.

"Very good." Seeing that he had regained consciousness, Morpheus praised him, stepped forward, stretched out his left arm and pushed a palm towards Anderson's abdomen.

This is just an ordinary mid-section punch. In addition to stacking palms to defend, there are also ways to deal with it -

Before he had time to think about it, the palm was pushed in front of him. Anderson had to cross his hands to block the palm, and then took two steps back.

Morpheus's expression remained unchanged, he lowered his body with his palms closed, and swept his legs in an arc towards Anderson's unsteady feet.

The lower kick may cause you to fall to the ground if you are hit. Jumping to dodge is——

Anderson jumped up half a meter to avoid the sweeping kick.

——is the worst response.

Hello!

At this time, Morpheus had turned to the front again, and his right arm, which arrived with the power of rotation, and his left arm, which had been preparing for a moment, struck out simultaneously.

bump! Boom——!

Anderson was knocked directly into the air, and his back hit the wall of the martial arts hall hard: "Puff!"

Morpheus slowly retracted his move and returned to the initial posture of crossing his palms back and forth:

"So, it needs to be learned."
