Byron's Blade

For two days in a row, Lan Ni did not contact Mu Li again, and Mu Li never went to find Lan Ni again.Mu Li's part-time work-study life has officially begun. Every day, he either works in the first brigade of the military and police, or attends classes in the training class of the Military Academy.

Everything is in a state of new beginnings, and there are no major problems, but there are too many small differences that need to be adapted slowly.For example, the executives who are hardly seen, such as the impersonal team, Mu Li feels indifference everywhere here.Everyone here seems to be on the same strings, not in partnership but in competition.So there is always a slight hostility between these people and each other.

The assault squadron led by Mu Li is usually on standby in the base for training. Most of Mu Li's job is to lead the training of the soldiers under her. She has a good reputation. During the two days of training, people have been coming to her to challenge her. Anyone who came was not rejected, and they called back one by one.In the past two days, she was in a bad mood, and she didn't release the water anymore. She beat everyone who came to challenge her severely. Although she wouldn't be hospitalized, it would take at least two or three weeks of pain to recover.In this way, her reputation as the God of War has been added with the prestige of ruthless hands and feet.

So far, the training class has only held one class, which was taught by Dean Yang Sheng himself, and did not say anything about very professional military knowledge. During one class, Dean Yang Sheng just chatted with them about the current affairs of the Federation.

The day of November 11 finally came. This was the first time that Mu Li had undergone a national medical examination in this world.Of course, medical examinations are also required in the army, but the staff sent by the camp assessment office to each unit organizes the soldiers to undergo physical examinations, and the soldiers do not need to go to the camp assessment office.

The most important purpose of the physical examination is to accurately measure each citizen's camp and camp deviation value, and the rest of the physical indicators are only auxiliary references.On this day, most of the production and business units in the federation are forced to have a holiday. Units that cannot have a holiday, such as public transportation, hospital emergency departments, etc., can arrange shifts in batches to postpone the medical examination.But you must also complete the physical examination of this month within two days of the 11th and 12th.

Mu Li rushed to finish the physical examination early in the morning, and then sneaked away.Her camp has always been Lawful and Neutral, the deviation value: Lawful 22, Neutral 5, it has not changed, and there is no suspense.Even with pupil detection, it's still the same.It's just that the green light emitted by the instrument like a supermarket code scanning gun swept across the pupils, making people feel dizzy and uncomfortable. Mu Li hated this feeling very much, as if his brain was being peeped into, and he felt uncomfortable all over. .

Hurrying to the house allocated to him by the military and police, Mary and Dora were ready to wait in the living room.

Mu Li didn't have too much nonsense: "Let's go, the guarantee letter has come down, and I will take you to the medical examination."

"Ali, who is the guarantee for us?" Mary asked.

Mu Li pursed his lips, and replied: "This time it was Major Friesman who gave you the guarantee, but I'm afraid it won't be the case next time. She placed her own people in the camp assessment office in Styles, but It is enough to do such a thing once, it is impossible to do it every time.”

"Then what should we do next time? Did Major Friesman say anything?" Dora asked.

"She..." Mu Li opened his mouth, finally gave a bitter smile, and said instead: "Let me figure out a way."

Mary felt that Mu Li's mood was a bit wrong, and asked cautiously:

"Ali, did you quarrel with Major Friesman?"

"No." Mu Li smiled at her, "It's not like a child, why fight. It's too late for me to thank her."

Mary nodded and said, "I really should thank Major Friesman. If it weren't for her, Dora and I might not be here."

"Yes, Sister Ali, we may not be able to thank Major Friesman in person, so please thank her for us. My mother and I can't give anything. We will cook a meal when the time comes. Please give it to her." She," said Dora.

"Well, okay, leave it to me." Mu Li said with a foul breath.

Mu Li took the mother and daughter out of the residential area and got on the rail transit to Styles.In the car, the three of them were sitting side by side. Mary quietly grabbed Mu Li and whispered in her ear:

"Ari, let's not talk about those oblique words. Dora and I know that it is because of you that Major Friesman helped us so much. She will help you like this because you want to save us. I think she is I really like you."

Mu Li smiled wryly: "Sister Mary, why did you even come to be her lobbyist. Do you know her character? Do you know how she behaves in the world? She and I are different people, and we can't get along."

"Why did you come to a conclusion so early? Ari, I am older than you, and I have some emotional experience. My sister advises you not to be obsessed with unnecessary attachments. You can bend and stretch in a lifetime, otherwise you will miss a lot."

Mu Li shook his head: "No, you don't understand, some of her shortcomings are something I cannot tolerate."

Mary stopped talking, and patted the back of Mu Li's hand.

The night before yesterday, Rui Qiao brought two cans of beer to meet Mu Li for a drink, and was going to tease Mu Li and Lan Ni by the way.In the end, Rui Qiao was surprised when she learned from Mu Li that she and Lan Ni were unhappy, and then persuaded her for a long time.Saying that Lan Ni really likes her, she thinks that Mu Li should try to accept Lan Ni, instead of always rejecting others thousands of miles away.

Mu Li doesn't understand, why does it seem like the whole world wants her to be with Lan Ni?What's so good about Lanny?Yes, she is smart, beautiful, rich, and of high status. It can even be said that she is now the princess of the Federation, because her father is now the supreme leader of the Federation.

However, could Mu Li bear such a master?She has a clear mind and will not be carried away by appearances.The conversation the day before yesterday had fully exposed Lan Ni's true nature.Cunning, wise, ruthless, unscrupulous, and even taking her own life into account when necessary, isn't that the rock climbing incident?Now, she has no hesitation in using Bailey as bait.

And what Mu Li can't stand the most is the suspiciousness in her character.Among Muli's principles of life, trust is the most important one.She is different from Lanny, she is a typical soldier, surrounded by trusted partners, she can't tolerate herself doubting those partners who live and die together.So when Lanny warned her to be careful of those around her, she couldn't hold back her anger.

And these are all questions after putting aside the unknown plots and calculations between her and Lanny.If you add those worries that make people break out in cold sweat at any time, is there still half a chance for her and Lanny?Anyway, Mu Li himself didn't think it was possible at all.

Mu Li knew that he should stay away from Lan Ni, but these days, due to various reasons, he has to rely on Lan Ni's strength.She hated herself very much, because she knew that she was not so noble in fact, and wasn't she using Lan Ni to achieve her own goals?She knew Lanny liked her, and she took advantage of that.She had thought about what would happen if she broke with Lanny completely with her current strength and status.It is impossible for her to find a strong guarantor to guarantee for Mary and Dora. It is very likely that the tenth of next month will be the death date of the three of them.For the sake of Mary and Dora, she is still fighting with Lanni, this is the status quo!

Hypocrisy and hypocrisy... Thinking of this, Mu Li felt very bitter.Getting along with people is not as simple as either I am very harmonious with you, or I am at odds with you. That's why there are hypocrisy and arrogance, and she is in great pain now.She believes that the most precious qualities in getting along with others are trust and sincerity, but when she faces Lan Ni, there is no trust or sincerity at all.

She wanted to, but she couldn't.

Mary said that one can bend and stretch in one lifetime, but Mu Li feels that one has to bow one's head in one lifetime.Her uprightness and stubbornness can't bring her any benefits, but she doesn't want to discard it, even if she is called a hypocrite or a fool, she still doesn't want to discard it.She tried to hide these things, but when she really touched Ni Lin, she would still show them without hesitation.

Under the walls of Ares, she swore to herself: If I don't die, I will have no fear in the future.If she is really a loner, she is afraid of being a fart, and she will die at worst, so she should come here for a trip.But now, she has to worry, because now she is not alone, the one who messed up is not a hero, but a reckless man, she is not stupid, she still has an IQ.

So she is very contradictory now, she doesn't know how to face Lanny.She believed that she couldn't take it calmly, and every time she saw Lan Ni, the reaction of her heart beating faster was not fake.She knew that she was conquered by the charm of this woman, she had something that she didn't have at all, full of charm.

Do you like her?Maybe, but it didn't matter because there was no way they could be together.She likes and fears at the same time, she can't bear such feelings.If there were no such messes between them, perhaps Mu Li was the one who took the initiative in the relationship between the two of them.

Thinking about this, before he knew it, the Stiles Regional Faction Evaluation Office had arrived. Mu Li collected his thoughts, sighed, and got out of the car with his mother and daughter.As soon as I left the rail transit station, I was shocked by a magnificent and majestic Gothic steeple building.Only one road away from the station, this building is the Stiles Regional Camp Evaluation Office.

This is really not a church, but an assessment center?

The large square in front of the assessment office was bustling with people coming and going.Mu Li and the mother and daughter walked in slowly along the flow of people, and saw a security check at the door from a long distance. Everyone who entered the assessment center had to pass through the security check first.

The steps of the security check are first to swipe everyone's bracelet ID to verify their identity, and then use metal detectors and X-ray security inspection machines to check whether there are weapons and flammable and explosive items.As a soldier, Mu Li legally carries weapons.Today, she kept everything simple, she just brought out the handle/gun, and when she went through the security check, she was still kept on her behalf.But Mary and Dora went relatively smoothly. When swiping the bracelet ID, Mu Li sweated for them, but no problems were detected.

The faction evaluation institute is a state agency, and it is not a system with the army.Therefore, although the militaristic atmosphere of the Federation is very strong, soldiers cannot be presumptuous in the assessment center, and must be strictly controlled.If anyone in the federation is the best at walking sideways, I am afraid that the soldiers are not as good as the staff in these evaluation centers.Becoming a national civil servant in the assessment institute is the ultimate goal of many people in the civil servant examination.There are also many soldiers who have changed jobs or retired from the army and want to enter the assessment institute. In addition, many nobles often bribe the officials in the assessment institute in order to avoid medical examinations. Therefore, the underground money transactions in the assessment institute are huge, which is an important issue for the federal government. disaster area.

After passing the security check, you officially entered the lobby on the first floor of the assessment institute.

As soon as he walked in, Mu Li gasped.She looked up in surprise, the scene in front of her shocked her extremely.

Nine marble statues as high as four floors are standing in the extremely spacious lobby, arranged in an arc.It's like nine gods looking down on the humble ants under their feet.The nine statues represent the highest gods of the nine factions: God of Lawful Good, God of Lawful Neutral, God of Lawful Evil, God of Neutral Good, God of Absolute Neutral, God of Neutral Evil, God of Chaos Good God, God of Chaos Neutral, God of Chaos Evil.

These statues are integrated with the full-height columns behind them, supporting the entire assessment institute.The base of the statue is three meters high, with a door opening on it.A large number of people pouring into the assessment office are being diverted into the gate at the feet of the nine statues.

"This..." Mu Li was speechless in amazement.The majesty of the theocracy pressed down like a mountain, causing Mu Li to hold his breath involuntarily.

Suddenly feeling the fabric around his waist being clenched, Mu Li came back to his senses, turned his head and saw that it was Dora holding her tightly, the little girl's face was pale, and she didn't dare to look up.

Mary's complexion was also very pale. Holding her daughter's shoulders, she said softly:

"We don't know how many times we have entered the assessment institute, but we still can't get used to it. Here...it's really scary..."

"Is the lobby of every assessment center like this? I've been in the army, so I don't know very well." Mu Li asked.

"Yes, the assessment institutes have a unified organizational system, and each assessment institute has such a statue of the Nine Gods. Because the assessment institute is both a state organ and a religious institution, the staff in the assessment institute are all priests. The assessment institute The highest organ of the Nine Pontifical Councils, 72 white-clothed archbishops are divided into 72 cathedrals in the Federation, which are the first-level assessment institutes. As far as I know, the assessment institute in Stiles is one of them. Here, apart from the monthly Except for the physical examination day on the [-]th, it is usually a church where religious affairs are held and believers worship.” Mary replied.

For the first time, Mu Li deeply felt a sense of anxiety. A country's political power and theocracy are inseparable, coupled with militarism, it is so dangerous that it makes people break out in a cold sweat.

She took a deep breath, collected herself, and said:

"Let's go, let's finish today's task first."
