Chapter 9 Chapter nine

Because the matter of holding a public presentation of the three-dimensional mobile device at the imperial competition has been officially finalized, Qiu Keluo and others have also devoted themselves to training more seriously than before.This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which may make the three-dimensional mobile device training a regular course, and it must not be missed easily anyway. However, there is no major breakthrough in the technique of using three-dimensional maneuvering devices.As far as the status quo is concerned, dealing with giants is like a dream, at best it can only be used when escaping for life.

But because it took a lot of time to practice repeatedly, the technique did improve.Although it is difficult to reach the level of being able to deal with giants before graduation, they have developed a skill enough to show the true strength of the three-dimensional mobile device in the imperial competition. In fact, there is no need to rush to graduate.Half-baked skills are useless at all, and even if you rush to the battlefield, you will only die in vain, and it will not be too late to graduate after you have mastered the skills.Although repeating a grade is undoubtedly a rare situation since the establishment of the school, it is not a shameful thing, but a perfectly correct choice.In fact, even the instructor Helfey thought so.As long as the performance of the three-dimensional mobile device can be publicized in the imperial competition, I believe that it will be allowed to open the special training course for the second year as a special case.

Qiu Keluo and others finished their formal training course during the day, and after they were equipped with the three-dimensional mobile device, they immediately set off for the forest next to the playground where they would report every day.The only thing that is quite different from usual is that other trainees came to the scene to observe. "I can't concentrate..." Rosa could not help complaining. "There are more people every day. We are really welcome." Cardi smiled wryly, and turned to look at the trainers standing in the distance.Qiu Keluo also shifted his gaze to observe as if he was drawn, and there were about 30 trainers watching, and they were watching every move of Qiu Keluo and others with great interest.Probably because of the wishful thinking of stealing technology and keeping it for himself whenever the opportunity arises.

Cardina and the others seemed to be very concerned about the onlookers, showing a look of fidgeting, while Qiu Keluo was completely unaffected because he was used to being noticed by others.Since the other party does not emit negative emotions of hostility or hatred, it is as harmless as the surrounding vegetation.No matter how much you worry about it, it's just your own effort. Jukeluo pulled out the operating device stored in the holster, and looked at the forest spreading in front of him in a blink of an eye.This forest is full of cedar, red pine, cypress and other trees that are more than 20 meters long, and it is a place where the three-dimensional mobile device can fully display its functions.If the giants were to be dealt with, they would probably have to be introduced to a similar place.There are fairly lush forests all around the oasis, although the available space outside the walls is limited.

(it is good!) With all his energy, Chu Keluo fixed his eyes on a 30-meter-tall cypress tree standing in front of him.Then he locked the ten-meter-high position as the target, and then pulled the handle of the operating device to launch the hook and anchor.Despite the slight deviation from the target, the hook anchor was still driven straight into the expected position. (That's about it.) Although the accuracy is somewhat problematic due to the loss of the right eye, it is a common occurrence.Anyway, you only need to make fine adjustments while using it, and there is no need to disassemble the three-dimensional mobile device for adjustment.

Jukero returned the handle of the operating device to its original position and jumped up.The iron wire was quickly rolled, and flew to the sky with the body effortlessly.Cardinal, Rosa, and the rest of the team also nailed hook anchors into suitable trees and started moving.As expected of a technique acquired after repeated training and bruises all over his body, this series of movements appeared extremely smooth. The trainees who came to observe exclaimed "Oh!"It was probably because of the full potential hidden in the three-dimensional mobile device that they reacted like this.

Qiu Keluo and others moved forward slowly through the gaps in the trees at a speed similar to jogging. "It's just that they are really snobby." The change in attitude of the trainers seemed to make Kadina feel a little overwhelmed. "If they fail to show results in the competition, they may turn their faces and deny people again." Rosa expressed this calm and realistic feeling. "But thanks to them, the news of the three-dimensional mobile device should have already spread. We must try our best to show them." She added this sentence, and then began to increase the speed of movement.

"It's pretty compelling now." Cardina laughed and followed behind Rosa. Although the uneasiness and dissatisfaction are palpable, they all seem to be proud of the three-dimensional mobile devices that are getting more and more attention.It's just that the evaluation of the three-dimensional mobile device doesn't matter at all to Jukeluo. (I just want to kill the "ogre" giant.) Now it's just that in the process of achieving the goal, the three-dimensional mobile device has become the focus of everyone's attention. The reason why it is necessary to leave a remarkable result in the imperial competition is also because it is a necessary condition for defeating the giant.It wasn't because of the influence of Helfer's enthusiasm, nor was it because of worrying about the future of mankind, it was purely out of the selfish reason of "wanting to cut off this bad relationship with the giant".However, no matter what Qiu Keluo's motives are, as long as the same result can be obtained, no one will jump out to express their opinions.After all, he has also put in corresponding efforts.

Just as he was adjusting the landing point of the hook and anchor, and pushing forward through the gaps in the trees, the hook and anchor shot out from the launcher in his right hand deviated greatly from the target and fell into the air. "what!?" Juke Luo couldn't help opening his eyes wide. It may be that the machine has malfunctioned, and the hook anchor that lost its target draws a parabola in the air and falls to the ground. "Tsk!" Qiu Keluo clicked his tongue and hurriedly tried to retract the wire, but unexpectedly, the right operating device, which was supposed to be connected to each other, did not respond.Although he manipulated the handle again and again, the result was still the same.

(not good...) The iron wire, which is both a means of movement and a life-saving rope, has lost its original function, and the current situation is no different from jumping from the top of a tree. (What to do? What should I do!?) Now, Qiu Keluo is flying forward relying on the strength he gained when he rolled the wire on the left side.The normal way is to catch the target with the hook anchor on the right side, and then maintain the balance of the body with the guidance of the iron wire on the right side—— Qiu Keluo quickly scanned the surrounding environment, but couldn't find a branch that was more suitable for taking refuge.

Since he started to stall, his body's stability and balance were affected, and he felt a strange feeling of floating on his face. (I'm about to fall...) Just realized this, Qiu Keluo's body suddenly fell towards the ground. He is about ten meters from the surface.Although it can be confirmed that the ground is covered with a layer of lush green velvet, this velvet blanket probably won't be able to gently embrace Qiu Keluo's body.The splashed blood will only turn the flowers into crimson flowers. "Jukelo!" Cardina and Rosa shouted at the same time. "hateful!!" Qiu Keluo cursed, and then tightly grasped the left operating device. (How could I die in such a place!) If he was really killed by the props used to defeat the giants, Qiu Keluo would definitely feel that he would die with regret. And it's not completely useless.Although the operating device on the right side has lost its function, fortunately the left side is still intact.It's just that it can't move three-dimensionally, but moving up and down is still not a problem.In other words, just treat it as an "installation". The problem is that the sense of direction is abnormal due to the fall.It may be that the third semicircular canal is out of order, and Jukeluo can't figure out which side is up and which side is down. If it goes on like this, it will be hard to escape the doom of falling back to the surface, but Qiu Keluo's eyes naturally locked on the nearby trees. (right here!) Qiu Keluo quickly pulled the handle of the operating device.The hook and anchor flew out from the launcher, and pierced the target with a force like a sharp arrow. That is not a miracle achieved by the keen five senses. Only through repeated training can one comprehend this kind of intuitive reaction similar to conditioned reflex.It is the result of learning how to use the body through martial arts, using training machines to cultivate a sense of balance, and the result of getting familiar with the mechanical structure through "Device", and finally deduced this answer.Not purely by chance. The three-dimensional motorized device exerted an emergency braking effect at a distance of only one meter from the ground, putting a strong burden on Jukeluo's whole body.Although the straps moderately disperse the impact force, it does not mean that the burden on the body disappears.Qiu Keluo's consciousness blurred rapidly. Although it was hard to resolve the crisis of hitting the ground heavily, the whole accident did not come to an end.Because the hook anchor also bears a strong burden, and finally it can no longer support the weight of Qiu Keluo, and it falls off the tree trunk. This time, Qiu Keluo really fell back to the ground, and his consciousness was suddenly interrupted.
Cardinal stared blankly at the fallen figure of Jokero. Because Qiu Keluo, who is more talented than others, and participates in the practice more seriously than others, it is absolutely impossible for him to fall accidently. But in fact something happened to him. Fortunately, Qiu Keluo escaped the crisis of falling to the ground by relying on his extraordinary reflexes, but he was not unscathed.I saw him lying face up on the ground without any movement at all. (Could it be possible...) The worst scenario flashed through Cardinal's mind, but he shook his head to dismiss the thought. "Cardina!" Rosa called out to Cardina, and then took the first step to rappel to Qiu Keluo's position, and other teammates followed suit. (Am I too eager to jump to conclusions...) After Cadina sighed deeply, he immediately stretched the wire and rushed back to the ground.After landing on the ground, he retracted the hook and anchor, and quickly rushed to the side of Qiu Keluo who was lying flat on the ground. "He just passed out and didn't appear to be injured." According to Rosa's judgment, Qiukeluo seems to be fine.No obvious trauma was seen, and breathing was not disturbed.There should be a few more bruises on his body, but it looks like he should be able to regain consciousness soon. "Having said that, he really has a stupefyingly strong physique." In fact, Cardinal was really dumbfounded just now. "Perhaps I shouldn't have said that, but I feel a little relieved." "How to say?" "I want to say that he is also a human being." "Oh, you mean this." Based on the rumor that Crowe is the son of a giant, and that he has a strong body that can prove the truth of the rumor, it is no wonder that Rosa has thoughts of doubt. "As you can see with your own eyes, Jukero is just an ordinary human being. He is just a little too strong." Cardinal shrugged slightly. "But I didn't expect him to stumble and fall to the ground... What happened?" "I just hopped not far behind him—" After a moment of thoughtful silence on Rosa's face, she slowly spoke: "At that time, the hook and anchor flew straight in a strange direction, maybe it was because of a mechanical failure." If the failure of the three-dimensional mobile device is the main cause of the accident, even if it is as strong as Jukeluo, it will be difficult to escape the fate of falling. (But is that really the case?) The developers of the three-dimensional mobile device are Senofon and Anheil, and they will never let any slight flaw go.But since the hook and anchor flew in an unexpected direction, there must be some reason hidden in it. Cardina carefully inspected the operating device and launcher on the right side where the problem occurred. (Do you see any damage on the outside...) Although the internal conditions must be disassembled to judge, even if a layman like Cardina confirms it manually, there is no way to find out what went wrong.However, since the left hook anchor can function normally, it can be concluded that the main engine of the three-dimensional mobile device is normal. (The fuel gas in the gas cylinder is still quite sufficient.) Cardina roughly checked the machine worn on Jokelo, but still couldn't find anything worth mentioning. (It seems that sooner or later it is necessary to learn the skills of mechanical maintenance.) If every failure had to be handled by a craftsman, there would be panic in the event of an emergency.It can be seen that at least one should learn how to disassemble the machine to check whether the parts are faulty, and then assemble it back as it is. "Anyway, send him back to the barracks first. After all, he might just be sick." Although it is impossible to imagine Qiu Keluo being attacked by a serious illness, it is still necessary to have a military doctor examine him carefully for the sake of caution. Cardina removed the three-dimensional mobile device from Jokero's body, and at the same time untied the straps. Just when the detachment was roughly completed, a certain part of the strap suddenly burst with a "snap" sound. "It seems that this is the main cause of the problem..." Rosa turned to look at the broken strap. "It's probably because the strap is about to break, which caused the machine to fail to receive the body's movements. It's no wonder that the hook and anchor flew in the wrong direction." Thanks to this acceptable answer, Kadina finally heaved a sigh of relief.However, Rosa, who was looking at the straps, still had a serious expression on her face. "Is there anything that concerns you?" As soon as Cardinal asked, Rosa nodded and pointed to the broken surface of the strap.I saw an unnatural cut mark left on the broken surface of the strap. "If it's bursting, it should be fluffy. But it seems—" "Hmm. The mark looks like a cut made with a sharp knife." "Could someone have tampered with the straps?" "Although I don't want to admit that possibility..." However, as long as you look at the man-made incision, you can understand that someone must have tampered with it secretly.The reason why the straps were not completely cut was probably to cause problems in the use of the machine.To put it bluntly, it was like a ticking time bomb. (Could it be that this person is trying to kill Joker!?) Considering the purpose of the three-dimensional mobile device, it is only natural that such an idea would emerge. A strong chill immediately ran through Kadina's back. "But, who is it..." Although the question was blurted out involuntarily, the identity of the suspect did not require reasoning at all.As long as you think about who is the natural enemy of Qiu Keluo, the answer will naturally come to light. "It seems that you have figured out the real identity of the prisoner." Rosa, who pointed this out, seemed to agree with Cardina's answer. "Then what are you going to do?" "In short, let's discuss it with the instructor first. After all, this is not the first time he has committed crimes." "It's not the first time!? Why is this kind of person qualified to be a trainer..." Rosa displays a strong distrust. (Oh, I accidentally said slippery.) It's just that the foreword can no longer be withdrawn. "It's a long story." Facing Kadina who was ambiguous, Rosa suddenly had a rather surprised expression on her face. "Are you going to use the excuse of a mysterious organization to pass the test again?" "Just treat it like this first. After everything has been dealt with, I will explain the ins and outs to you." It's just that considering the seriousness of the content, it's really hard to imagine that the moment will come. Kadina and his teammates worked together to lift Qiu Keluo, and then began to turn back along the original road.
At the moment when he turned over, Qiu Keluo's body let out a mournful sound... It was a sharp pain like a severe muscle ache all over the body.Perhaps it was affected by the pain felt all over his body, and he couldn't even move his body as he wanted.Although I have not confirmed my physical condition with my own eyes, it is probably quite miserable.Just breathing caused a sharp pain in the chest. Qiu Keluo groaned, and then forcefully opened his eyelids that were as heavy as lead. "here it is……" What caught my eye was a familiar ceiling.You don't even need to think about where this is.Qiu Keluo is currently lying on the bed in the private dormitory in the barracks. "How do you feel physically?" The person who was peeping into Joker's face while asking questions was Kadina, and Helfey was also seen standing behind him. "My physical condition..." His mind was still a little blurry when he just woke up, but after a while, Qiu Keluo recalled that important event. "By the way. Because of the three-dimensional mobile device-" Since he is still alive, it means that he has resolved the fatal crisis of falling back to the ground at a critical moment.The reason why the body feels pain is probably the result of using all the muscles in the whole body in order to save life.Although it would have been very likely to cause the worst situation of muscle fiber injury or even rupture, he did not seem to have taken reckless actions that exceeded his physical limit at the time.And the pain is within tolerable range.It will take about two or three days to fully recover. But that's not the focus of attention.What is important is the series of processes from mechanical failure to forced landing back to the ground. In terms of time, it was probably only a few seconds.During this fleeting time, Qiu Keluo thought about various things, and then put them into practice.It feels like using all the techniques you've learned without reservation. (At that moment, I managed to control the three-dimensional mobile device.) As soon as he realized this, a sense of accomplishment gradually filled Qiu Keluo's heart. "Let's put it aside, about this accident..." Caddy began to explain with a serious look on his face. "Actually, there is something wrong with the straps you are using." "That's it..." Jukero clenched his fists tightly.It may be that the sense of happiness exerts an effect similar to that of analgesics, and the body does not feel pain. "I just want to tell you in secret, there are traces of hands and feet being used on the straps." "I succeeded..." "Oh, so you noticed it too. Look here." Cardina handed the strap to Qiu Keluo's eyes, and stretched out his hand to point out the broken part. "We believe someone has made an incision in this area with a knife. And the prisoner is probably—" "Don't worry about such trivial matters, just listen to me!" Qiu Keluo interrupted Kadina's speech with his hand, and spoke in an excited tone. "That kind of small thing...is it a very important thing?" "A revolution has happened!!" Facing Kadina, who had a dissatisfied expression on his face, Jukero yelled loudly. "what are you talking about?" "I think I've figured out how to control the three-dimensional mobile device." "real or fake!?" Qiu Keluo nodded, and then explained to Cardina and Helfer what he believed to be feasible grounds. "This should be the so-called put to death and live later..." "It's kind of like being attacked by surprise. Probably due to the unexpected situation of mechanical failure, the originally independent technologies were integrated and sublimated." An understandable expression appeared on Helfey's face. "The truth of the revolution has finally been revealed." "Sneak attack training isn't the only option available. It's certainly one of many." "But, I found a way." "Well, but it's an overly dangerous method..." Probably hoping to resign, I saw Cardi's expression on his face was extremely stiff.Because if there is a mistake in the correspondence, he will either fall to his death or be seriously injured leading to paralysis, so it is no wonder that he will react in this way. "However, if this trick allows you to easily use the three-dimensional mobile device, it would be a great deal." "No, no, we should stick to the principle of 'keep the green hills alive, don't worry about running out of firewood'?" Cardinal immediately objected. "Sneak attack training is indeed accompanied by danger. But if you can't overcome this difficulty, you will be eliminated sooner or later. I don't intend to force you to accept the challenge." "Since I have decided to stay with you to the end, of course I will try my best...just please don't expect too much from me." "Don't worry, Cardina, you can do it too. Of course the others are fine too." Although he couldn't explain clearly through words, Qiu Keluo was full of confidence. Helfer also agreed with Juke Luo's opinion. "Juke Luo has a way to control it. I believe that other people must be able to do it too. I always feel that you seem to have a tendency to underestimate yourself too much. You have also absorbed the same special training courses, although it doesn't matter if you show confidence." "I hope so..." Cardinal sighed. "Let's get back to the strapping thing, what are you going to do about it?" "What do you mean?" "Didn't you pay attention to what I just said!?" After putting his hand on his forehead and making a murmur, Cardina continued to speak: "It's just that someone has tampered with the set of bindings that are dedicated to you. I think it is necessary to ask him to come and interrogate." "So is there something wrong with the three-dimensional mobile device?" "Ok." Qiu Keluo immediately thought of who the person who did it was. But he was not at all interested in searching for the prisoner, nor did he want to single him out and criticize him. (That kind of little thing doesn't matter at all.) Just a waste of time. Now that he has become able to control the three-dimensional mobile device, he should thank this prisoner instead. "If he found out, he'd probably blush and be very annoyed." Cardina couldn't help but said with a wry smile.
"Why? Why did things turn into this situation..." Shabby muttered with a half-bewildered expression on his face. His gaze was fixed on the figure of the tutor who was leaping among the trees.To be more precise, it was the figure of Jokero flexibly driving the three-dimensional mobile device. The accident that happened in training a few days ago should have caused Qiu Keluo to be seriously injured... But at first glance, he seemed to be in good health, and he didn't feel that he had any sequelae.Not only that, his movements have even become more sensitive and precise than before, giving people the impression that he has completely mastered the knack of using the three-dimensional mobile device. And the other tutors are not too far behind.They showed precise movements like marching on the ground, and their forward figures seemed to be real soldiers, but the stage was moved from the ground to the air.Now I can't even see the monkey-like funny figure at all. (How could he be unharmed!) They all train at a height of nearly twenty meters.In the event of an accidental fall, he would be seriously injured, and there are actually rumors that Jukeluo has suffered a fatal injury that ended his career as a soldier. Shabby was originally the instigator of this accident.Naturally, he could fully anticipate what kind of disaster would befall Qiu Keluo. At the very least, there should be no way to move freely, and there is a possibility of dying—— Unexpectedly, Qiu Keluo was unexpectedly alive and well.As things stand now, even the source of that rumor seems very unreliable. (I must kill him. Must kill him...) Although the risk of doing it yourself is relatively high, but now the only way left is to witness Qiu Keluo's death with his own eyes.Unless he sent him to hell with his own hands, Qiu Keluo would probably be resurrected like a giant and stand in front of Shabby again and again. (It has to be done thoroughly.) It's just that if Qiu Keluo is really killed, it will inevitably attract suspicion.For Shabby, who aspires to become a military policeman, this is a very serious problem.He had to kill Qiu Keluo while at the same time trying to protect his image of incorruptibility.As selfish as it was, he could only do what he could to make it happen. Luckily there is an event coming up in two days that will give the chance to pull off the ruse.As long as you act cautiously and boldly, I believe that this time, you will be able to kill Qiu Keluo's life with your own hands. Xiabi glared at Qiu Keluo on the tree, and began to think about the relevant steps of the whole plan.
