Chapter 4 Percy
Chapter 4 Percy
[Host, how is it?I'm great! 】The system happily played Ode to Joy after a few sizzling electronic sounds.
Shi Zhou casually threw the shards of glass that he had accidentally stuck into the trash can, a little perfunctorily: "Well, it's amazing."
The system doesn't care if his words are true or not, as long as he's happy, it's over.
Just a positive look can reap the simple happiness of a tool man!
[Why did the host leave?Your injuries have not fully recovered, and your brother is very good to you...] I was too excited before, but now the system finally has time to think about the way out.
Shi Zhou stared at his wound which was healed quickly, put his hands in his pockets: "Shi Qing makes me feel uncomfortable."
Obviously smiling brightly on the surface, but there is always a cold and sticky feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake.
Moreover, the guards at the gate have changed.He can't be blamed for being overwhelmed, although Shi Qing told him that the guards were justified to be transferred from their posts, but he always felt uncomfortable.
【ah?I don't think so?I think he is kind to you even though he is chasing fame and fortune, but he is very kind to you. I remember this image of him in the book. 】The system was surprised by Shi Zhou's perception, and there was the sound of flipping through books in a hurry in his mind.
Shi Zhou rubbed his temples with a headache.
Shi Qing in the book is an out-and-out brother-controller. Even though Shi Zhou did many unreasonable things for the prince and the villain and was cast aside by everyone, he still never left Shi Zhou. Almost broke with the prince.
"From the moment I entered the laboratory, I have long been separated from the direction of the whole book. Why are you still clinging to the original plot? Does the original plot include the plot of my resurrection from the dead?"
The strange thing is that after such a sentence, the system was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: [I'm sorry. 】
"What's wrong?" Shi Zhou was surprised.
[I didn't help you realize your wish. Before you wore it, I promised you that I could give you back a healthy body.But now the mission was obviously successful, but it was in vain. 】
The system clearly remembered the scene of Zhou Zhou when he chose to bind. In the empty and blindingly white ward, his face was pale and bloodless, and the back of his hand was covered with bruises from injections from hanging bottles, which seemed to dissipate when the wind blows. The voice was not flustered, with a weak and gentle smile on his face, exuding a faint but still clean grassy smell: "It sounds interesting."
It's so beautiful that people want to shed their blood for it.
Even now, Shi Zhou's face is still not exhausted, but in fact, every moment when he inadvertently uses his mental power, his body data will drop rapidly due to the pain.
The system took a while to adjust its mood: [Where are you going next? 】
Shi Zhou brushed off a fallen leaf on the front of his clothes: "Go to the army."
【good. 】The system obediently responded, and after a while it jumped in disbelief, 【What! ! ! 】
*******
The system murmured in its consciousness all the way to think twice before acting, wishing that it could immediately become desperate and hold back Shi Zhou's forward footsteps, crying and shouting in exchange for a little loosening of him.
He let the system disrupt the data of the personnel office, and randomly found a refugee's identity information in the database to borrow.
Under the strict population control of the empire, the most unhappy people should be the wandering refugees.They often take risks and wander around the border to smuggle and wander in the gray fringe area in exchange for property to make a living. Registering their identities will do them harm but no benefit.So he used this method with the lowest injury rate to make a living for himself.
He no longer has the need to continue the plot, he might as well live his life according to his own ideas.
The system is about to cry: [Host, Zhou Zhou!Why don't you think about it, change a way of life, we can go to face the sea, spring flowers bloom, what are you doing in the army, aren't you in a new cage again?And with your current mental strength, you can only be cannon fodder at the bottom of the army if you join the army. 】
Long-term sedation without day and night, suffocation and despair without knowing whether they will wake up after falling asleep, once this kind of person gets a healthy and fresh body, they often have two behaviors.One kind of people is ecstatic and cautiously maintaining their lives, while the other kind of people can only stimulate their senses with blood and extremes, making them feel the presence of life.
Shi Zhou is neither of the two, he just wants to live a good life and see the scenery of the sun and the moon in the universe.
Shi Zhou joked in a relaxed tone: "I'm not afraid of death, what are you afraid of? When I die, won't you be able to leave me and find your next target?"
The system was crying and screaming: [Damn ghost!Am I so heartless! 】
There are two ways to recruit Imperial troops.On the one hand, the top military academies in the empire regularly import excellent talents to the army every year. Their life trajectory is step-by-step, and as long as they don't make big mistakes, they can be promoted unimpeded all the way.
On the other hand, the military will issue conscription orders to civilians every year. After a unified selection, they will mainly become grass-roots units, and the life trajectory of these people is also step-by-step. The best nourishment.
But there will always be one or two golden phoenixes flying out of the humble house, so every year the military academy will come to the grassroots to find potential school-age personnel and persuade them to accept a complete military education system.Most people will not refuse, after all, their lives will undergo earth-shaking changes after entering the military academy.
I found a resting hotel for the time being, and registered before the deadline for conscription, went through the admission process smoothly and arrived at the concentrated place for mental strength test registration.
"D-class?"
Right on the line.
The tester didn't even raise his head, he had already sentenced Shi Zhou to death in his heart.He can't be blamed for being arbitrary. Most of the people who step into the conscription line every year can't survive. They just want to exchange their lives for enough subsidies to support their families for several years.
"Turn the left hand side to the right to lead the uniform. After half an hour, the basic information of the company and dormitory will be announced. The day after tomorrow will be formally trained." The robot next to the tester mechanically repeated the notice.
Shi Zhou left quietly, instead of finding a secluded corner, he squeezed into the crowd.
Although there were many people at the scene, the order was maintained well.The leading officer stood in the corner and stared at him all the time, when suddenly a figure appeared beside him, with a handsome face exposed under the brim of his hat.
"Master Ives." The officer was shocked.
Elvis stopped his excessive movement frequency: "How is the situation?"
The officer lowered his voice: "So far, there have been three A-level mental powers and one S-level mental power. I will hand over the list to the adults after the test is completed later."
"Yeah." Ives nodded and glanced around. Most people's faces were green and immature, and they didn't know where their future would go.
A large part of the people who choose to join the army come from poor families, and they come here for the army's regular and generous subsidies, board and lodging every month, thus forming the huge grassroots army of the empire.Desperadoes who are in a difficult situation are cunning and powerful, and this kind of people have no background to rely on, and they are the most usable by others. Give them a pole and they will have an attempt to climb to the clouds.
As for whether they can climb it, it depends on their own abilities.
Elvis seemed to see a familiar face, and he subconsciously moved his footsteps slightly, trying to see if it was his flashing illusion.
A few people in the corner faced his scrutinizing and probing eyes with trepidation, guessing that his identity should be unusual.
"My lord, is there anything I need help with?" One of them boldly wanted to show his face.
Ives was disappointed in his heart, and he really admitted his mistake.
That person is dead, how could he appear here, the gentle and handsome boy in his memory will be forgotten in the past sooner or later.
"It's okay." Avis signaled the officer to continue the process, turned around calmly and left, and got into the long-awaited car.
The driving vehicle finally stopped in front of a white marble palace. After greeting several officials of the same level in the hall, Ives walked through the solemn vaulted corridor familiarly, knocked on the door cautiously and pushed it open.
"Lord Percy." Elvis bowed his head and said hello.
The person in front of the table was blonde and blue-eyed, with a straight nose, sharp thin lips, deep brows and eyes, and a well-defined outline. His bronze complexion added unruly and evil spirits to him.
A newly submitted bill was spread out in front of him, and he looked up and smiled calmly with Ives: "The royalist group can't wait to weaken our power."
Ives bowed respectfully: "My lord, we will keep an eye on the primary election of the army and cultivate our confidantes. According to the news from the informant, Lance secretly met with that old fox Green last night. You know, Green is the number one in the empire. The principal of a military academy."
The check and balance of power in the empire is a tripartite confrontation. The royal family represents the nobles. In recent years, due to the strong demands of the common people, the proportion of common people in the House of Representatives has gradually increased. The two are competing for power in legislation and politics.The composition of the imperial military power is even more mixed, but there are faint signs that the marshal is headed.In recent years, both the royal family and the House of Representatives have secretly infiltrated and developed the power of the army.
Percy's emerald green eyes flashed a trace of sarcasm, and immediately hid it completely: "I want to see what trick Lance is planning to play?"
As if suddenly remembering something, Percy tapped the complicated pattern on the table with one hand, and asked inadvertently:
"Is it the news from Shi Zhou?"
Elvis paused for a moment, the expression on his face seemed to be unbearable, his lips whispered: "...My lord, Shi Zhou is dead."
Ives has a good impression of Shi Zhou, such a young man with only Percy in his eyes, who looks at Percy with affectionate eyes, innocent and tough, but ends up dying without a place to bury him.The irony is that his loved one may be the last to learn of his death.
Percy was stunned, and the pen in his hand drew an extra stroke on the paper: "Really?"
Almost in an instant, he recovered the indifference that could not be seen, and the sadness that Elvis imagined did not appear, as if he was listening to the life and death of a stranger.
He waved his hand and looked down at the documents on the table again: "Understood, you go down."
Elvis blinked a few times, then exited and closed the door in a submissive posture.
For some reason, his heart was filled with unworthy sadness, and finally he sighed very lightly and slowly.
