The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 32 Automatic Equipment

Hao Ren was very doubtful whether Raven 12345 was a freak from the Imperial Space-Time Administration - anyway, he couldn't believe that a super civilization was made up of such a weirdo. It's a pity that he hasn't had the opportunity to contact other members of the Space-Time Administration or senior leaders from the Xiling Empire: Raven 12345 said that this small place is in dire straits, the administrative level is not enough, and no one has taken a look for many years. It's all possible...

But no matter what, Hao Ren no longer doubts the identity of Raven 12345 and the authenticity of that super civilization. Apart from anything else... just this big house in another space, and the high-end atmosphere and class in the big house. It is absolutely impossible for humans to create low-key, luxurious and meaningful facilities! For example, the place he is currently in, a room called the New Employee Induction and Intensive Center... looks like a science fiction movie.

Raven led Hao Ren around the bungalow for a long time, passing many strange rooms filled with crystals or strange equipment. The latter walked to the end with his mouth open like a country bumpkin. He almost doubted this big man. When the house finally came to an end, the raven led him into a hall that was incompatible with other places.

This hall is full of technological atmosphere, and the whole is in the shape of a regular hexagon. Every wall is glowing with a metallic silver-white luster, and there is a blue-white light stream pulsing slowly like blood on it. The hall is extremely high, and there are many shimmering crystals suspended on the roof, filling the entire room with a light blue glow. Along the wall of the hall, Hao Ren saw many strange and incomprehensible devices. They looked like some kind of consoles, but there were no buttons or joysticks at all. Each "control console" was suspended in the sky. There is a holographic image, and the only possible control component of the "control console" itself is a hexagonal crystal plate - completely different from the machines and equipment on earth.

"This is the strengthening center, a miniaturized one." Raven 12345 pointed to the equipment in the hall, with a rather proud face. "In the early days, the reviewers had to conduct unified strengthening and strengthening in the capital of the empire, that is, the Shadow City. Assessment: At that time, the Space-Time Administration was not large in scale, and there were not so many things in the macro world, so it was still busy, but now it is no longer possible, so the assessment, primary training, and reinforcement of new examiners were devolved to various nodes. Even the basic world. Our place is relatively remote, and the nearest void node has to be jumped several times to reach, so I simply applied for such a place in my own home. Speaking of which, I originally wanted to apply for magic equipment. These technologies I really can’t play with the device on the side...but I made a mistake when I wrote the report..."

Hao Ren listened dazedly. Raven 12345 had a problem with talking to herself. Once she spoke, she didn't care whether the audience could understand or not. Now Hao Ren was confused about all the common sense of the Space-Time Administration. This white-haired witch Balabal has a lot to say, who knows?

"That enhancement you are talking about...what the hell is it?" Hao Ren was not bombarded by the amount of information at last, and he still maintained the minimum vigilance: the atmosphere of this place was really unbearable for him. He kept thinking of those scientific research centers that study shredded slices all day long, and the Xiling Empire was still an "alien group" in his mind (after all, he had been atheist for more than 20 years, and the word "god" was far from his mind. No alien is easy to understand). Let's think about it: an earthling falls into an alien's biochemical laboratory and needs to be strengthened... If this drama is thrown into the hands of Hollywood directors, if it doesn't burst into blood on the screen, it will be regarded as a waste of the subject, right? !

Those guys in the novel who immediately rejoiced when they heard that aliens wanted to enhance their bodies were obviously not as foresighted as Hao Ren. Of course, if you insist that Hao Ren is a coward, then there is nothing you can do about it...

"It's just an ordinary physical adjustment. Don't worry, it won't make you accustomed to it, and it won't be harmful." Raven 12345 pushed Hao Ren towards the center of the hall. "Hundreds of new examiners receive reinforcements every day. , there has never been an accident, so don’t worry! The standard we adhere to has always been humane... Just stand here and don’t move! I will raise the adjustment chamber."

Hao Ren stood there tremblingly, and then he saw Raven reaching out and pressing a few times out of the air. The ground beneath his feet shook slightly, and then a piece of equipment full of technology slowly rose from the rectangular gap opened on the ground.

This is a silver-white metal box over two meters long, roughly rectangular in shape, with one end larger and one smaller. It is exquisite and gorgeous. There is a lid on it, and a cross is made of crystals on the lid...

The top cover of the metal box slowly slid open, and Hao Ren became more and more confused as he looked at it: "...Why do I feel that this thing looks familiar?"

Raven 12345 suddenly stared: "How is that possible! This is the latest model of a universal adjustment and strengthening integrated warehouse. The packaging was just unpacked two days ago. Where did you see it?"

Hao Ren thought for a while, then slapped his forehead and shouted, "I remembered! This shape looks like a fucking coffin!"

Raven 12345 slapped Hao Ren on the shoulder: "Forgot the employee rules? You are not allowed to swear in front of the leader! If you have to say curse words, you have to wait until the leader has finished speaking!"

Hao Ren slanted his shoulders and pulled back hard: "Are you sure you want me to lie down in this box? I tell you that I am a principled person, and the shape of this thing is enough to penetrate people... Hey, don't push me! I will never go in! Don’t think it’s not a coffin just because you plated it with silver! There’s even a cross on it and you still..."

Raven 12345 picked up Hao Ren with one hand and threw him into the "coffin": "You guys are so pretentious! Come on in!"

Hao Ren couldn't resist this crazy white-haired witch. After a while, he found himself lying in the big box. At the same time, a transparent barrier extended from the four walls of the metal box, completely trapping him. in.

Hao Ren could only accept his fate, but after waiting for a long time, he did not find any further movement. He stretched his neck and looked to the side, and found Raven 12345 holding a data terminal and looking at it in concentration. He patted the metal box hard. Liangbi: "What happens next? What do you do next?"

Raven 12345 didn't even raise his head: "Don't yell, I'm looking for the manual... Everything on the technical side is so complicated, where is the switch on this thing?"

Hao Ren: "...I X! I want to resign! I break the contract! I quit! You are not reliable at all! I..."

"Oh, found it!" Raven 12345 slapped somewhere next to the "coffin", and Hao Ren's vigorous protest stopped abruptly. The last scene he saw was a dazzling white light that penetrated his retina.

Darkness, cold silence, boundless chaos, space seemed to have lost its meaning. Hao Ren felt that his soul separated from the body at that moment, floating in an ethereal and indescribable dimension. He tried hard to find even a little bit of familiar five senses. But nothing was found, no sound, no light, no temperature or touch. The human spirit was locked in a vial and drifted alone...

Well, it probably floated for about ten seconds, and then Hao Ren heard a "bang" sound next to his ears, and then he was pulled up by his arm, and his vision began to gradually recover.

The light and lines in the field of vision condensed into a figure, which was Raven 12345's beautiful face and signature silver hair. She patted Hao Ren on the shoulder with a happy look on her face: "Okay, done."

Hao Renteng jumped up suddenly and realized that he was still standing in the coffin-shaped metal box. He almost fell down because his feet were unsteady. He stabilized his body and jumped to the ground carefully: "Is this the end? I Why does it feel like it’s only been a little while?”

"Well, twelve seconds," Raven 12345 held up the data terminal in his hand, "It's the same as the instruction manual: press the switch, select fool mode, wait twelve seconds, after hearing a 'ding' sound, the red light will turn on, and the hatch cover It automatically pops up, and then brings the user out - but you jump off yourself."

“Is this thing a microwave?!”

Raven 12345 shrugged: "Anyway, the usage methods are similar. Isn't the process of all fool-proof devices the same."

Hao Ren was dumbfounded by the white-haired witch's calmness and face. In the end, he could only comfort himself: at least there was no accident and all the parts on his body seemed to be still there.

Then he clenched his fist, as if to check whether the alien's enhanced technology was reliable, and whether he had really taken the route of a master in the novel, who was dressed in white like snow and came and went like the wind. When he checked, he was surprised. Discoveries—more on that in the next chapter.
