Walk alone in the abyss

"Welcome to Hui Saka's morning show. Today, most of Yaha's planet is sunny. Thanks to the planetary ring's precise control of the climate, rain clouds are formed where rain is needed..."

Catherine looked at the military communicator in her hand, and on that small screen, a robot that looked like a fake was chatting freely.

"Captain, this is just a false identity, what's so interesting about it."

The jokes of the team members came from the side.

Catherine glared at the person who spoke, the eyes behind the golden mask were quite sharp.

Bligh said softly next to him: "Even though the appearance is different, he is still the same person in essence. It is really surprising that he would apply to join the super reformer."

The team members who rarely got together to rest spoke one after another:

"Didn't the director say that he used this bionic machine to join us? Actually, it's just a formality."

"I still don't quite understand what the white ghost wants. Does he want to become a great nobleman of the empire? Or does he want to get rid of the previous predicament, get the recognition of the empire, and award him a medal?"

"Yeah, the white ghost was already standing at the top of the reformer, and he took the initiative to take off his mask. I didn't expect this."

Bligh squinted and smiled: "So, this is why you are not as smart as the white ghost."

"Are you all free?"

Catherine frowned and said, "Conclude the meeting, get ready for dinner, and after dinner, each go back to patrol the area under his responsibility."

"Yes! Captain!"

"Bligh, you and I go to patrol first and let them rest."

"Thank you Captain!"

Bligh squinted and smiled, and followed Catherine with his hands behind his back. He and Catherine boarded the same armored hover vehicle and rose above the city.

Patrols are usually dull and boring. Bligh will use his mental power to sense a certain range, and he will hold an e-book to pass the time.

Catherine turned on several projection screens and carefully observed the city that had just been eroded by war, and could see many refugees in the gaps between the ruins.

"Bligh, do you think the empire will directly destroy the Suli Federation this time, or establish a puppet regime?"

"It depends on the needs of the empire," Bryce said slowly. "If it is to kill chickens to scare monkeys and promote force, it should be directly destroyed, and the people here will be relocated to the planets under development on the border of the empire for enslavement education. If you fancy this place resources, that is to establish a puppet regime.”

"Are you loyal to the white ghost now?" Catherine asked suddenly.

Bligh smiled and shook his head: "I'm only loyal to myself."

"I was asked this question above," Catherine said. "When Hui Saka first came to Planet Yaha, the two of us had contact with him. That is to say, we had contact with the white ghost early in the morning."

"Captain, when you originally reported to the higher authorities, you concealed the details of your being under my control for three days."

Blair said calmly:

"Don't worry, captain, I didn't do anything to you, I just let you sleep with anesthesia, the anti-mind control chip in your head is really giving me a headache.

"The higher-ups also asked me about it, and I answered it completely truthfully. I didn't know Hui Saka was the white ghost at the time, so I didn't have any defenses against him. I just regarded him as a perfect work of art and prepared to kill him. collect them.

"That's all."

"The death of Dismemberer No. 3..."

"Captain," Bligh turned to look at Catherine, "Since the higher authorities have blurred this matter, we don't need to continue to struggle. Everyone loves the white ghost now, so ignoring the previous details and accepting the white ghost is the right thing to do."

Catherine leaned back in the leather chair and said calmly, "I'm just afraid that the white ghost will join forces with you to create an irreparable disaster."

"Disaster? The white ghost doesn't want to be an enemy of the empire, he is also a part of the empire," Bligh laughed. "Besides, the organization is more worried about your relationship with the white ghost than me."

"Me?" Catherine pointed to the tip of her nose hidden behind the mask, "What do I have to do with the white ghost?"

"A dating relationship."

Catherine raised her hand to her forehead, feeling a little powerless to complain.

At best, she was ambiguous, she always puts her work before her personal feelings, and her job is to become a sharp knife in the hands of the empire, she...

Ding Ding!

A reminder sounded from the personal communicator, and Catherine completed the reading action in an instant.

[Hui (ghost stand-in): I heard from Director Ruiwa that you will come back when I participate in the assessment? 】

[Catherine (Captain): I didn't get any news. 】

[Hui (ghost stand-in): Make an appointment then? I did everything possible to reveal my identity, just to have a fair date with you, Lady Catherine. 】

[Catherine (Captain): Only ghosts believe in ghosts' ghost words. 】

[Hui (ghost stand-in): I swear by my charisma, if you don't refuse, you agree to the date invitation. Bring me some military oil, my joints need to be lubricated, I'll get you a present, how about a dance? 】

[Catherine (Captain): Let your body jump. 】

[Hui (ghost stand-in): No problem, I can still afford a video. 】

"Bah," Catherine threw the communicator aside, but quickly took it back and entered a line of text.

[Catherine (Captain): I'm working and chatting during breaks. 】

[Hui (ghost stand-in): Start work, record a few more videos in one go, and fish for a few more days. 】

Catherine sneered, her eyes were always bright.

Bly next to him raised his hand to his forehead.

If he remembered correctly, this should be the sixth chat between the captain and the master... within the last hour.

...

"Boss, the overhauler organization sent an assessment item. It seems that they don't intend to release water."

"Huh? Show me."

In Dongfeng, Yang Ming, who was lying on the sofa chatting with Catherine, turned over and sat up, and several projection screens popped up in front of him.

When he put on the helmet and sent his consciousness to Hui Saka, it was equivalent to clocking in for work. When Hui Saka returned to his residence, Yang Ming took off the helmet, and it was considered clocking out of get off work.

Yang Ming watched the assessment process carefully for a while, and his smile was a little stiff.

He sneered: "Well, this is a tactful refusal for me to join the super-reformers? Then I'll go to the Skyfury Fortress and forget about my military achievements, and I just went to Gris."

"Uh, boss," Lu whispered, "There is a line of remarks below. The results of this assessment are judged by the jury. That is to say, they are all subjective factors and there is a lot of room for flexibility."

"Then why are they making it so complicated?"

"Is there a possibility," said Li with a smile, "the Elder's House wants to save face, and wants to create a posture that the white ghost is desperately trying to join the super-reformers, and they will accept the white ghost no matter how hard it is?"

"Made, are they trying to play monkey?"

Yang Ming rubbed the center of his brows, and began to think about coping strategies.

The assessment is divided into three parts:

Basic ability test, actual combat ability test, multi-member cooperation in complex environment.

If Yang Ming participated in this assessment with a mechanical body, live ammunition would be used throughout the test process.

"They still want you, the boss, to show up with your real body."

"That's too risky for me," Yang Ming said, "If I just press that, then my previous efforts will be in vain. We should get to know each other first, and we have trust in each other, and the guarantees that should be given are complete. Now, I will take the initiative to show up."

Li has a headache: "Then we can only strengthen Hui Saka's combat capability now, but it will take a certain amount of time to transform Hui Saka. From now until the assessment day, we can barely complete part of the transformation."

"Priority is to improve mobility," Yang Ming said, "The firepower can be improved by means of plug-ins, and mobility is the core."

"Okay boss, I'll arrange it now."

"Is there any problem with the channel?"

"No problem," Li raised his fist to the side of his face and popped out his thumb, "We are now the largest arms smuggler on Yaha Planet, Hui Saka, a bionic robot, is itself an extra-large contraband!"

Yang Ming: ...

In the online world, the mechanical thinking body really does whatever it wants.

To improve the combat power of 'Hui Saka', it is necessary to upgrade both the hardware and the software.

Because the combat machine is controlled by the way of the consciousness body, Yang Ming's personal operation skills are also very critical.

If you want to be proficient, you need to spend time training.

There is still more than a week before the assessment, and Yang Ming also started his own devil special training, improving the synchronization rate of thinking, adapting to the movement characteristics of the mechanical body, and proficiently operating various weapons that have been assembled...

If there is no training venue, then go through the back door through Catherine, and forcefully rub against the venue of the super reformer training center.

If there is no mature transformation data, go through the back door through the law, and go to the new federal CIA and the empire's arms group to 'moisten' some confidential information.

Finally, the assessment of the white ghost came as scheduled.

More than a hundred super-reformers during the rest period set off from the administrative stars of the Emperor Star Circle and came to Yaha Star for on-site observation;

Catherine and Bligh were also temporarily transferred back to the overhauler base of Star Yaha and became the two chief examiners in charge of scoring.

The assessment time is set at ten o'clock in the morning. After the two-hour assessment is over, the normal lunch in the training center will not be delayed.

The training center of the super-reformers is located in the restricted military zone of Star Yaha, surrounded by three military academies, six military-related research institutes, and the last line of defense of Star Yaha - the command center of the planetary near-earth defense system. The station of the standing guard legion of Yaha star.

The super-reformer organization has a total of twelve large bases in the emperor star circle, and the bases on Yaha planet can rank among the top three.

At 9:15 in the morning, two military suspension vehicles led the way, followed by an extended luxury suspension vehicle, and arrived at the No. 2 main training ground of the training center.

Two alloy gates with a height of more than ten meters were slowly opened, and the open space of the main training ground of more than 60,000 square meters was revealed in front of Yang Ming.

The hover car drove into the gate, attracting attention from everywhere.

There were hundreds of spectators present, super reformers, ordinary reformers who came after hearing the news, staff of the training center, and some middle-aged and elderly officers in military uniforms.

The suspension car traveled 200 meters and stopped in front of a floating stand.

In the stands, a jury composed of twelve elite overhaulers stood up at the same time, and Catherine and Bligh were among them.

Click.

The rear door opened slowly, the jury held their breaths, and the audience in the nearby stands were engrossed.

A sneaker sticks out of the car door, followed by crisp dress trousers.

He seemed to have just stepped out of a TV show, his dark gray dress was wrinkle-free, his tall and straight figure interpreted the sense of masculine strength, and there was a calm smile on his face.

The rumored white ghost officially appeared in the form of "Hui Saka"!

This picture was perfectly recorded by the camera ball suspended in mid-air, and it was simultaneously transmitted to the eyes of some dignitaries and senior generals.

—— Both the military and the Elder's House are very concerned about this assessment.

"Captain Hunton."

Director Ruiwa's voice sounded, two projection balls floated over, and the light intertwined to reveal the serious face of this middle-aged woman with some endocrine disorders.

"Are you sure to accept this assessment with a mechanical body?"

Yang Ming put his hands behind his back and spread his legs slightly apart, using the imperial standard military posture.

"Yes! Thank you for your understanding!"

"Very good," Director Ruiwa said, "If you fail this assessment, you will lose the opportunity to join the super-reformers. Of course, if your body comes, you will have a chance to make up the exam. We all know how good your body is. powerful."

Yang Ming said: "Compared to the Empire's Armada, this so-called strength is completely worthless!"

"Then why don't you just show up?"

"I still can't forgive Professor Kigrove's temporary and irresponsible transformation experiments on the officers serving on the scientific research ship! I can't let it go, the empire I love throws me away for the sake of those unimportant non-core scientific researchers. In Cole Harbor Prison, to face the strangulation of the new federal intelligence agency!"

Yang Ming's gaze became much sharper:

"I am willing to dedicate all my strength to pursue the glory of Emperor Star!

"But I don't want to! To be caught by those overjoyed scientific research teams and become a sample for their funding applications!

"I will use my actions to prove my loyalty and love for the empire, and use my accumulated achievements in exchange for a protection order signed by the Imperial Council of Elders!

"When all the conditions are ripe, I will also dedicate the ancient technology I have mastered to the empire!"

Director Rewa nodded: "I wish your assessment goes well, Hui Saka."

"Thank you Director!"

Yang Ming waved his hands and gave a military salute, and the atmosphere at the scene became solemn and depressing.

Bligh walked forward slowly, and said softly: "The first item of assessment is basic ability. You need to complete all...performance tests on this list."

Yang Ming nodded, and the stands in front moved to the left and right, revealing the test field behind.

The modular venue began to adjust quickly. Yang Ming took off his dress jacket, a faint halo of light appeared on the soles of his feet and palms, and his figure floated in mid-air, floating forward.

Before entering the examination room, Yang Ming turned his head and glanced at Catherine.

Her golden mask was cut in half again, but today's mask was made into a mask, revealing her bright eyes with light makeup.

Yang Ming blinked slightly.

Catherine calmly drew a few ticks on the scoring board and gave him the evaluation of passing the test in advance.

"Captain, you're too obvious," Bligh murmured, "There are 16 tests to come, tick one after passing one. Don't worry, the people next to me are all acquaintances of mine, and they will see what I give you. Give as many points as you want, and we must keep the white ghost, even in name."

Catherine nodded slightly.

She hates all formalism and falsification.

However, today is an exception.
