Li Yang walked to the double door, and the brass-colored metal plate on it shone in the warm light.He wiped the sweat from his hands on his pants, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A husky female voice came from the door.

Li Yang opened the door and walked in, maybe because it was underground, the lights inside were very dim, and the dark orange lights made all the decorations look a bit old-fashioned.The whole room is huge, with a soft wool carpet on the floor, a lotus-shaped chandelier on the top, and black bookcases full of books.

Ms. Yang was sitting behind a large mahogany desk, reading documents.On her desk stood a lamp with a stained-glass shade.

Can you see this clearly?Li Yang muttered in his heart.At the same time, he was a little surprised, because Ms. Yang was not at all the kind of logistics aunt he imagined, on the contrary, she was a beautiful woman.

Ms. Yang wears a dark, ankle-length, ruffled dress that is cinched at the waist with a wide belt.His long black curly hair was coiled loosely behind his head.She wears a white pearl necklace and earrings, black hair and red lips, and a lazy temperament.

Seeing Li Yang coming in, Ms. Yang leaned casually on the high-backed chair behind her and asked, "Newcomer?" Her voice was very hoarse, like the rustling sound of an old record player.

"Uh... yes. Li Weiwei told me before that you would explain the situation here in detail." Li Yang swallowed secretly, talking in front of such a beautiful opposite sex always made him a little uncomfortable Freedom and stress.

Li Yang's heart was beating like a drum, and his palms that had just dried up curled up again, sweating profusely.He is now facing an opportunity to completely change his life. Even though he has been mentally prepared for it, he is still very uneasy when it comes close.

Ms. Yang handed him a stack of documents, and Li Yang noticed that she had just flipped through them.

It was a non-disclosure agreement, perhaps in order to take care of him, it was written in both Chinese and English.Finally, a copy was attached, in a language he could not understand.

Li Yang noticed that there were clauses such as "not to disclose the location of the base to the outside world without permission", "you need to clean your memory if you quit halfway", "you must obey the instructor's order during the training, or you will bear the consequences".

Overlord Treaty, he muttered to himself, but since this is the only institution that provides mysterious training services.He didn't seem to have a choice either.

On the next page, there is an insurance policy, which states that if he encounters misfortune, the foundation will be able to fly his body back to his hometown for burial for free.

How considerate.Li Yang's heart was twitching, this piece of paper seemed to let him see himself covered with a white cloth, and it also fully displayed the cruelty of the mysterious world in front of him.

dong dong.

Ms. Yang knocked on the table impatiently.

"Do you want to sign? If you don't, you can leave now." Her tone was impatient.

Li Yang asked her, "What language is that behind?"

"Latin. It's the same as the previous two. For contracts, the older the language, the more powerful it is." Ms. Yang replied.

Li Yang took a deep breath and signed the contract.

"The following is what you need to know. Please listen carefully. I don't want to repeat it a second time. This is the training of executive personnel under the Foundation. We select people from all over the world who are willing to join us. The world is stared at madly, and the Foundation It will become a barrier in the middle. This training will last for three months, teaching you how to deal with the mystery. This is a foundation base, and you cannot leave here within three months.

In the base, the bell tower in the east, the third underground floor and the lower floors are restricted areas and cannot be approached.Otherwise, do so at your own risk.

Your high priest is the one to meet you, and his codename is 'Night Watch'.He will be responsible for teaching the basic knowledge, the content is in the manual.After completing the training, you will become field personnel.This is a very dangerous job, and I don't know how long you will survive.You have one last chance to think about it before I close the file. "

Li Yang didn't look at Ms. Yang, but just took a deep breath. "I've thought about it."

"Fine. Do you have any questions?"

"Yes. I'm curious. Why is the decoration here so weird? It seems that this place is not in the same era as the outside world." Li Yang noticed that the whole building has an air of being out of touch with the outside world. Those rough metal parts exposed to the outside, The huge brass-colored pipes that also exist in this room, as well as Ms. Yang's clothes, all seem to have come out many years ago.

"It's very sharp, you feel right. There is indeed a disconnect here, because it stopped 150 years ago. I can't comment on the rest." Ms. Yang smiled at Li Yang, her temperament was lazy and charming, like a Only yawning cat.

Li Yang thought, what does this mean?Time stops, does it mean that there has been no change since 150 years ago?What happened 150 years ago?The mystery cannot be deduced with common sense. How many years ago did Ms. Yang and his chief officer come from? Why are they the only Foundation personnel he has seen so far?

Li Yang secretly kept these doubts in his heart, and prepared to observe slowly later.

"Then the next question, since it's so dangerous here, why did you stay?"

Ms. Yang was obviously stunned for a moment. This was beyond Lu Yi's expectation. Lu Yi really didn't expect that this person could be so divergent.He inevitably thought of the strong buying and selling of the system and the hardships ahead.The tone was a little sad and indignant.

He could only answer perfunctorily: "Everyone here has their own reasons, and so do your companions. If there is a chance in the future, they may be willing to tell you."

In Li Yang's view, Ms. Yang's froze was obviously avoiding the topic.Maybe I asked an inappropriate question, he thought apologetically, if his guess is correct, Ms. Yang may have lived here for many, many years, then maybe she has something in the past that she doesn't want to mention to others.

The mysterious world doesn't seem to be peaceful at all, so this past must have been tragic.

Li Yang cleared his throat and changed the subject: "One last question, do you know a man named Xintinghou?"

"know."

Ms. Yang raised her eyebrows impatiently, "Are you finished? Then I'll take you for a test. By the way, I'll give you a final piece of advice. There are wall clocks everywhere, so time is very important."

Ms. Yang took Li Yang to the next floor, which was a stadium.They tested the basics of stamina, strength, reflexes, and balance.There are also some projects that Li Yang doesn't quite understand, such as playing a weird and twisted music and asking him to draw what he hears with a pen.

For another example, blindfolded, pick out the most valuable item; gaze into a crystal ball, and tell what color you can see in it.

Li Yang asked: "What are these tests for?"

"It's very complicated. You can understand it as a test of inspiration." Ms. Yang replied.

The system produces a detection inspiration test, which is absolutely accurate!

Li Yang could see that she was already very impatient, so he wisely didn't ask her what her inspiration was.In fact, he still has a lot of questions in his stomach, but now, when he still doesn't know anything about this place, asking too many questions is not a good choice.

"Okay. You can go back." Ms. Yang snapped the file book with records in her hand.

"A final reminder that time is of the essence," she said.

Li Yang returned along the same route, but Ms. Yang didn't mean to see him off.It seems that Li Weiwei is right, Ms. Yang's attitude before was already very good.Later, I became more and more impatient with each sentence.Before Li Yang could say goodbye and thank you, she disappeared at the door.

Li Yang passed by the huge clock, its exposed mechanical parts carried shocking force.The minute hand moves to the full hour.The huge metal pipes sounded in unison, while emitting milky white steam.The clock resonated as if shaking the whole building.

There is a peculiar beauty here.Li Yang admired in his heart.

He went up the elevator, and the elevator opened after a roar.He saw Li Weiwei and the former policeman Uncle Zhou were waiting for him.

"They should really make the elevator quieter, my ears are going deaf." Li Weiwei whispered.

Then a smile appeared on her face, "Looks like you chose to sign the contract?"

"Yes. Everyone here should be ready to sign the contract." Li Yang shrugged.

"Not necessarily. There was a person behind me. He walked in with a passion for mystery. As a result, after seeing it up close, he was carried out by the 'Night Watchman' crying bitterly, and tremblingly peed on the spot. For the rest of my life, I will never forget the expression on the night watchman's face. In the end, he was sent away after his memory was wiped out. If he stayed, you should be No. 14."

Uncle Zhou interrupted Li Weiwei with a smile, and said, "My name is Zhou Chongyi, and my number is 3. The three of us are the only Chinese here. How is your English? They usually communicate in English."

"It's okay." Li Yang replied, "I thought Ms. Yang should be the same?"

"We can't be sure. To be honest, I sometimes don't even feel like Ms. Yang is alone."

They walked outside together, the warm sunlight shone on Li Yang's body, the golden warmth dispelled some of the coldness brought to him in Ms. Yang's office in the basement.

Leaving the dim gray-blue building of the foundation, Li Yang felt that he had regained a little vitality and his limbs warmed up. He planned to ask what the phrase "pay attention to time" was about.

At this time, there was another sharp sound of air exploding in extreme speed action in the air.A black object passed quickly over their heads.

"That that... what is it?" Li Yang couldn't straighten his tongue, and he felt a panic, maybe the part of the document he signed to send the body back to China for free will take effect soon.

"Oh, my God. Calm down, that's harmless. But can't they really stop for a day?" Li Weiwei rolled her eyes towards the sky.
