soul bondage

Accompanied by the biting cold wind, stepping on the frozen ground, I walked alone on the street.It was almost twelve o'clock, and the road was already completely silent. I was only accompanied by the faint moonlight and a few wild cats looking for food. From a distance, I saw a car parked alone by the side of the road. When the people in the car saw me, they lowered the window and waved their hands to beckon me to come in.

"It seems that you did not disappoint me. Let's go on the road first. I will tell you about the relevant matters on the way, which will save you a lot of trouble." Raul said to me with a smile.

I put the backpack on my chest and took out a broken photo from it.Looking at the happy family of three in the photo, I have mixed feelings. Once upon a time, I was a child with my parents, but now, I have to leave the place where I have lived for 18 years and start a new life in a strange environment. life.

"Have you made up your mind? To tell you the truth, it is not easy to come back. No matter whether you can pass the scout test or not, you will never be able to return to Earth to live the life of an ordinary person." Raul asked.

"There is no place for me here anymore. Instead of sticking to the past, I might as well let go and start a new life." I put the photo back in the bag and sighed.

"Well said! By the way, your name and identity will enter the archives after you arrive at the Star Alliance, and for safety reasons, everyone will have a new identity. Kang language, that is the native language of the Yakang people who had the oldest civilization in the whole galaxy so far, but finally died out. If you want to start a new life, then I will give you a new name, Yu Zhe, the transliteration is It means Nirvana in Yakon." Raul smiled at me. "What do you think?" The car began to move forward.

"Thank you." I replied.Although I said that, I still felt a little nostalgic in my heart. After all, I lived for so long, and when I thought that I might never be able to return here, my heart felt like a stone was blocked, and it was so depressing.I looked out the window and looked at the Beijing city under the night. Even though it was almost one o'clock in the morning, the neon lights on the street gave people an illusion, as if the city would never get tired and would open its arms to welcome the late returners at any time. wanderer.

"It's almost here, drink this, it's a hypnotic, in order to keep it secret we won't let people like you know our contact point on Earth, don't worry, except it will let you sleep for dozens of hours , there won’t be any side effects.” Raul handed me a bottle of colorless liquid, I took a look at it, then pulled out the stopper and drank it with my head up, hoping that my two kidneys are still there when I wake up.Slowly, I felt that my head was getting heavier and my consciousness was getting more and more confused.I took one last look at the place where I was raised before falling into darkness.

Goodbye, Earth.Goodbye, Chu Mingyu.

……

In my sleep, I felt that my body touched something hard. I opened my eyes in a daze and gradually adapted to everything in front of me. Only half a meter away from me was a giant insect using a pair of compound eyes. staring at me.I yelled and sat up from the bed in shock, panting heavily.

The alien also seemed to be startled by me, first he ran back and observed me warily, after a while, after he felt that I was not in danger, he walked towards me slowly, a human and a human A bug as big as me came towards me. I believe that everyone would feel nervous, and I was no exception.

The guy also saw my nervousness, so he waved his hand to show that he was not malicious, then pointed to something like a wireless earphone on the table in the corner with his right hand with only four slender fingers, and then pointed to himself with his left ears, and an identical device is worn on his head.I walked slowly towards the table, but kept my eyes fixed on the alien in front of me.The moment I put on that thing, the mouthparts of the alien creature opened and closed, and made a creaking sound. At the same time, I heard the voice from the device.

"Hello, I'm sorry to scare you just now. I'm Stiletine from Norising. From today onwards, we seem to be partners." Stiletine stretched out his hand as he spoke.

I went up to hold his slender hand, although I thought he was scary at first, but after careful observation, you will find that although the creature in front of you looks scary, but its attitude is very friendly, at least it is better than some people wearing human skin creatures are much better.

"Hello, I'm from Earth, my name is Chu, oh no, call me Yu Zhe." I also stretched out my hand to hold the other's hard palm tightly, but for some reason I wanted to see how he used chopsticks.

"By the way, do you know where this is?" Stettin asked me curiously, the two compound eyes on his head looked around curiously.

After he said this, I noticed that the room I was in was completely different from the interior of the earth. The walls and floors here were dark gray, and although the room was filled with soft white light, there was no source of light. Looking around the room, I felt like I was in a cage.

I walked to the wall and tapped on the wall lightly, but there was no response.I was about to lower my hand when I suddenly realized that my hand was black, no, it was wrapped in some kind of black tights, this dress looked like reptile skin, covered with tiny black scales , while the chest, back, abdomen, crotch and various joints are covered by hard black armor. Although it looks very heavy, I don’t feel much when I wear it. It’s light like my second layer. Same skin, no wonder I didn't notice it just now.

"This is the basic nano combat uniform equipped for you." Shi Tieting looked at me and then at himself, "Our body structure is different, so your combat uniform is also different. It seems that the rumors are true." Stettin looked at his body and said.

"What rumor?" I was curious as to why this guy's two pairs of fluorescent wings weren't covered in a black protective suit.

Stettin stared at me with those dark green compound eyes and said: "You humans must not know that a few years ago, the Star Federation sent countless observers to various star regions to conduct surveys, and collected the DNA data of various intelligent creatures and The living habits were recorded to prepare for the scouting project. So even if you are a race like you that has not yet joined the Star Alliance, the Star Alliance has a good understanding of your living habits and body structure."

"Don't scouts exist since the birth of the Star Alliance?"

"Of course not. The scouts were only formed in the last few hundred years, and the Star Alliance has been established for thousands of years. I don't know if it is true. It is said that it was originally established after the troops of the Yakang people. The purpose is to maintain The interests of various groups in the universe and the coordination of the division of colonies, the Federation has become more powerful and more prestigious in the various sectors over time."

"Wait, aren't the Yakon people extinct?" I remembered Raul's words.

"It seems that you are not ignorant, friends of the earth. Indeed, 1000 years ago, the Yakang people quickly disappeared from people's sight in just a few years, and no one has seen them since then. Yakang people, but I think a race with tens of thousands of years of civilization will not disappear for no reason, there must be some reason for it! Maybe they just hid. "

"So that's it. You really know a lot. By the way, why did you become a scout?" As soon as I finished asking my question, his eyes dimmed.

"My family members died in the racial civil war, but at that time a Starfleet medical officer adopted me, who is now my adoptive mother, and she told me a lot about the Starfleet, and I learned about the Starfleet Scout Program Then I made up my mind to become a scout, because my referrer told me that as long as I became a scout, my mother would not have to do such a dangerous job as a frontline medical worker. I hope to do something for her. What about you? Yu Zhe, why did you become a scout?" He kept rubbing his fingertips on the outside of his thigh while answering, maybe I shouldn't ask such a sensitive question.

I just organized my words to answer his question, but at this moment the wall behind us suddenly opened, and Stilettin and I turned around suddenly, only to see a huge and imposing creature glaring at us at the exit .

"You two lumps of stinky mud, get the fuck out of here." As he said that, he rushed forward and lifted the two of us from our respective beds and threw them out violently. We walked together in unison After flying a few meters away, it fell hard against the wall and then slid down.I thought it would be enough to reshape my tailbone, but it didn't hurt and the impact was much less.

"Need me to kick you again, stand up for me, earth bastard." The creature in front of me said and lifted his muscular right leg.

Stie Ting and I quickly got up from the ground, but because we were too nervous, we bumped into each other when we got up, and we were hit hard on the head twice after we stood up.

"Seriously, every time I see scum like you in here I think we're fucking wasting our time, don't look around you nori worm while I'm talking! I'm your instructor from today , Call me Instructor Kan from now on, do you understand, pussies?" Instructor Kan stared at us with a pair of black eyes, which made people feel shuddering.

"Yes, Instructor Kan." Stiletine and I said in unison in two completely different languages.

Kan looked at us helplessly, then took out two smart watch-like things from his pockets and gave them to us.

"This is a tactical timer, which records the time and weather in your area. No matter where you go, this thing can automatically display the time and survivability index in your area. If it is blue, it means you can Free movement, if it is green, you must wear simple protective clothing, and if it is yellow or red, unless you have a chemical protective clothing made of high-density fibers, you can roll as far as you want. During your training, I have adjusted it to Starfleet standard time 26 hours a day, I won't give you much time to adjust to the new routine, so give me the energy and don't give me a reason to tell you I am How reasonable!" Kan said, waving his four pillar-like arms in front of us.

"My time is precious, so don't bother me if there is nothing important. If there is anything you don't understand, just check this ICT directly. It is already connected to your voice translator. This device can be worn On the arm, if you have any questions, just search directly, and I have no obligation to answer your questions. If I don’t see you standing at attention at the door at 05:30 tomorrow morning, you can just get out of here.” After speaking, the fiery instructor threw Give us a palm-sized tablet brain, except for the black border, this ICT only has a triangular button and a transparent display screen in the middle, which looks no different from mobile phones on the earth.

"I'll keep an eye on you guys, don't play tricks on me." Kan punched me and Stettling again, turned and left.After the door was closed again, Stiletine and I looked at each other and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Why don't they use holograms for communication, so they have to let such a guy come in and give us a few shots?" Stiletine said, rubbing his forehead with his hands.

"Kan is a Kalon, one of the strongest races in the universe. I didn't expect our instructor to be a hot-tempered Kalon. It seems that it will be difficult in the future. But this combat uniform is really not bad. I was dumped in the I don’t feel anything on the ground, it seems that Star Alliance’s technology is really powerful!”

"It's really amazing. I didn't expect this little translator to be able to accurately translate even swear words. But you are right about one thing. I think our life will be very difficult in the future." I stared blankly at the wall Mian was a little apprehensive, wondering if I, who was mediocre, could survive and live up to Raul's expectations of me.

"What are you doing?" I turned around and just saw Stiles raised his ICT and looked at me.

"Let's simulate Star Wars, friends on Earth!" Shi Tieting shook ICT.

"are you kidding me?"
