under bondage

======================

Chu Xun rolled his eyes and changed the subject, "When will the ceremony end?"

"Come on, military academy ceremonies are always simple." The sparrow man paused for a moment, then continued: "But even if it's over, you won't be able to leave."

"why?"

"It will be a week-long placement test starting in the afternoon." Looking at the badge on Chu Xun full of sympathy, the sparrow man said: "The trainee teachers also have to participate."

"Take what? Proctor?"

"No." The other party explained: "The trainee teachers, like the students, have to take the placement test."

Chu Xun seemed to understand a little bit, and asked, "What were the rules in the past? Is there... any inside story, let me reveal it?"

The sparrow man raised his face and said proudly: "In the past, they were classified according to the ranking of the comprehensive results. Class X and Class Y are the most special. Class X has always been occupied by Alpha children with the best genes from various military and political families. Recognized as the strongest; Class Y only recruits Omega, but Omega, you know, there are always some emergencies, coupled with their own weak body, so the teaching direction is more inclined to military logistics." Speaking of this, the sparrow man suddenly understood He cleared his throat and lowered his voice, "Cough! I heard people say that the so-called Class Y is actually the bride-to-be class of Class X, this...you understand? However, there are more monks and less meat, and there are Alphas from other classes. They are eyeing tigers, so there will be some jokes every year."

"Oh..." Chu Xun stroked his chin and smiled, "You continue."

"Following that are Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class F, and Class E. The worst is Class Z. Class Z is recognized as a hot chicken, and most of them are Betas like me. "

Betas who can enter the Imperial Military Academy are rare, and they are considered outstanding in the entire galaxy, but... like two geniuses of different levels, when you go from B-level to A-level, you only find out that you are in A-level. You can only be regarded as an ordinary person, stop there.

It was the first time Chu Xun heard that someone could call himself a hot chicken, so he smiled sarcastically and said, "Then how did your hot chicken get in here?"

The other party blushed, and said: "Beta itself is inferior to Alpha in terms of physical fitness and potential, but everyone has the same head shape. I am a substitute teacher for a theoretical class recruited by the military academy. I have a professorship and the author of "Quantum Theory" , "Space Transformation", "The Extension of ΠEnergy" and many other books, my professionalism..."

Hearing this, Chu Xun interrupted his argument and asked, "So, why do you say that Beta is hot?" Chu Xun looked at the high dome of the auditorium, and said, "Beta is not worse than Alpha at all, but each has its own advantages. That's all the boss."

"I didn't say those words..." the sparrow man muttered, "But we can't bridge the physical gap."

At noon, Chu Xun did not receive any news from Natis, but was dragged to a small gathering organized by the trainee teachers themselves.

Chu Xun sat lazily in the booth, listening to other people's lively chats.He usually likes to join in the fun, but today he is not in the mood. He is a bit puzzled why he is wasting time sitting in the sky cafeteria of the Imperial Military Academy. Originally, his schedule today was to go to Wanyi Fuxing to participate in an interstellar business The meeting, the result——

The more Chu Xun thought about it, the more uncomfortable he decided to harass His Royal Highness Natis. He just turned on the communicator, and before he had time to do anything, he received an instant message. At the same time, the intelligent system in the sky cafeteria also rang The male notification voice of :

——All trainee teachers and first-year freshmen are requested to go to the "game room" within 10 minutes

——All trainee teachers and first-year freshmen are requested to go to the "game room" within 10 minutes

——All trainee teachers and first-year freshmen are requested to go to the "game room" within 10 minutes

[game room? ]

As soon as Chu Xun asked a question, a soft female voice sounded in his mind.

[Chu, good afternoon. "Game Room" is a virtual arena based on the star network system.It can mobilize the limit of the human body, and the body and brain data of the participants will be entered into the Imperial Army system at the same time. The test scope includes but not limited to mental strength, physical fitness, close combat, long-range shooting, mecha control, team command and comprehensive ability, etc. . ]

[So a placement test in the game room? ]

[It has always been the tradition of the Imperial Military Academy.So, Chu, are we going over now? ]

[Go, why don't you go, I want to see what this so-called "game room" is! ]

[The navigation system is fully activated, target: game room. ]

The appearance of the "Game Room" is a pure white egg-shaped building. Before entering, the instructor will distribute a fluid ring called "Star Emblem" to each tester. The size and shape of the ring can be adjusted according to the wearer's own condition. The "Star Emblem" can also detect the physical condition of the wearer, and immediately cut off the connection between the tester and the "game room" in case of abnormal conditions.

When Chu Xun arrived, people had already entered the testing room of the "game room" one after another.He was assigned to Group C, and there were a group of people when he entered, but after entering the test cabin, Chu Xun felt his eyes darken, and when he opened his eyes, the surrounding area was empty, only himself was left, and the environment he was in was also different. a great change.

This is a huge white room, no, perhaps it should be more accurate to say it is a laboratory.

White sealed walls, white floor, white test bench, white control panel, and a huge five-meter-high petri dish in the center of the room.

[Ella... where is this? ]

[Sorry...Sorry...Chu...I...Here...Here...Here...]

[beep——]

A sharp and ear-piercing sound wave swayed in his brain, and Chu Xun felt a sharp pain hit him. Holding his head, Chu Xun instantly fell to his knees.

"Huh! Huh! Huh!" The panting sound rang in his ears continuously, Chu Xun knew it was his own voice, after a while, Chu Xun raised his head.

The azure culture fluid in front of him calmly filled half of the petri dish, and a slender artificial umbilical cord like a blood vessel was connected to the top of the petri dish.

At this moment, except for Chu Xun's uninterrupted headache and the scene of disintegration in front of his eyes, all other images began to distort and deform.

Chu Xun was still kneeling on the ground, and the angle of looking up made the line of his neck particularly fragile and beautiful. The beautiful Adam's apple slipped gently, as if it would be broken if touched.

Chu Xun kept this posture for a long time, his expression was very numb, he didn't feel anything except the sore eyes, and then he blinked slightly.

"pat-"

Chu Xun looked at the drops of water that fell on the ground in astonishment, and touched his eye sockets for some unknown reason. There was a little damp there, and he... actually shed tears?

Chu Xun's mind was blank. In fact, he didn't have any sad or sad emotions, he just blinked his eyes.

The gaze returned to the petri dish again.

This time, Chu Xun felt that the culture fluid inside and the "vessel" seemed to shake slightly together, and then a small string of fine air bubbles floated from the bottom to the surface of the water, and he seemed to see one—an egg.

Yes, an egg.

After a while, the egg starts to take shape, and then it turns into a curled up fetus, and when his/her facial features gradually become clear, he/she turns from a fetus into a baby, which is a boy.

The boy opened his eyes, and under Chu Xun's gaze, he grew into a boy inch by inch, and the boy turned into a young man again. He opened his mouth to Chu Xun and smashed his fists on the glass wall of the petri dish, as if he wanted to say something. , but Chu Xun couldn't hear a sound, like a silent pantomime in the ancient earth period.

Chu Xun felt that the young man should be screaming, hoarse and exhausted.

Is he... asking for help from himself?

The young man's face was distorted like a shattered mirror at this time, and then Chu Xun heard a very small cracking sound, which seemed to sound like nothing for a long time .

I don't know how long it was before, suddenly - "Bang!" There was a loud noise.

The petri dish burst instantly, and with the gushing out of the culture fluid, countless fragments turned into thousands of fluorescent lights and rushed towards Chu Xun.

Chu Xun felt that he was knocked down to the ground by huge water waves; he felt that his whole body was covered with countless fragments of petri dishes, and the pain was unbearable; his whole body was cold, and the viscous blood seemed to be trickling out.

At this moment, time and space seemed to be falling apart, and Chu Xun felt that he was getting more and more drowsy, as if he was going to... sleep forever.

Chu Xun's whole body trembled, and he sat up from the medical cabin. The sound of "wheezing, wheezing" was particularly heavy in the confined space.

"you're awake?"

"Where is this?"

The woman in a white robe smiled at Chu Xun and replied, "This is the medical room of the military academy. You have already exited the 'game room'."

"I……"

"Don't worry, you just passed out, but—"

"but?"

"Your pheromone concentration is not right, you should be Beta, right? But..." The other party frowned, and said, "Your body...forget it, anyway, I suggest you do a detailed physical examination."

"No need, I feel great now." Chu Xun stepped out of the medical cabin, walked a few steps in place, looked at the other person's badge and asked, "Doctor Gina, do you know about the 'game room'?"

"Sorry, Teacher Lin Shan. This is not within the scope of my duties."

"No, no, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to inquire about anything. I just thought that what I saw in the 'game room' today was very strange."

Gina smiled when she heard this, and said, "It's not surprising that you saw anything in the 'game room'. Today's test involves mental power, and everyone's brain will appear different." Speaking of this, the woman paused Next, "Your mental strength test report has been uploaded to the military RC system library, grade: S-."

S-...

The composition of the brain domain is very complicated, and mental power is only one of them, but in military academies, most of the ability tests on the brain domain only detect the mental power, which is more intuitive and closer to the needs of combat.

After leaving the medical room, Chu Xun walked alone on the circular corridor [-] meters above the ground.

The scene he saw in the "game room" still made him feel dazed, and his head was throbbing. Chu Xun felt that the scene he saw was very familiar, but there was also an extremely strange feeling. His whole senses, has he seen that scene, or has he seen that person?

that person--

Chu Xun caressed his throbbing temples and shook his head. He seemed to not remember the appearance of that person...
