The shining Shoko Toyokawa

"Damn it, if it was Xiao Deng or Su Shi, they would definitely be able to communicate with 'him'."

Aiyin gritted her teeth and caught up with the suspicious woman, "Who are you?"

The woman didn't answer Aine right away. Instead, she fiddled with something against the wall at a corner. "Before you answer that question, could you tell me how you were able to detect the hidden guards? Their disguises should have been perfect."

'Damn sheep!'

The pink-haired girl complained in her heart, Dolly and Dolly are both Dolly, and Dolly is the world's first cloned sheep. Plus, this woman's hair is messy and fluffy, almost as fluffy as a sheep's, so the nickname is quite appropriate.

"Your question is just like asking why people breathe."

The relationship between Aiyin and her was not good enough to talk about a bunch of psychological feelings. In fact, even Xiaodeng couldn't understand that kind of perception ability that transcended space was like an instinct.

"Just like humans... can breathe..."

Aine just said it casually, but Dolly stopped what she was doing and took out her notebook to write it down. "What else? What else?!"

"Answer my question first!"

"Oh, okay," Dolly said, as if she had just realized something, as if she had just remembered what question Aine had asked her.

But she did not give a detailed self-introduction. Instead, she quickened her hand movements and tapped on the wall rapidly, as if she was playing the piano.

Aine suddenly had a bold guess, 'Is she entering a password? If she is entering a password, this password is too long!'

Finally, after she knocked on the wall hundreds of times, accompanied by a slight tremor, the wall that had been tightly fitted began to cave inward, and a few seconds later an elevator rose up.

This situation reminded Aine of the huge stage hidden in the basement of the school in "Girls' Opera".

But this place is definitely not a place for competing for brilliance or performing operas, but a more realistic and cold place, which is still incredible to Aine.

The only difference is that once you step into this elevator, there's no going back...

"Have you seen Captain Amelica?" Without waiting for Aine to answer, Dolly continued, "I can tell you that not all the plots are fictional, at least not when it comes to super soldiers.

There are rumors that after the war, America specifically studied many double ace pilots. Most of them have extraordinary spatial perception abilities. In some experiments, they can even confirm how many people are in a room through the wall.

However, a year after they returned to normal life, not only did their spatial perception ability deteriorate significantly, but their ability to see through things also disappeared.

You know what that means?"

Chapter 153: The Blonde Girl in the Basement

"It means there's a difference in the experimental conditions, just like quantum mechanics... well, you know what I mean."

Aine said something random, although in a sense, it was true.

"Yes, that's it! You're worthy of being a new human. You figured it out so easily. This is a problem that top scientists only take a long time to figure out!"

Dolly entered the elevator excitedly. "I'm even more looking forward to your meeting with Alice."

'Alice? The child who called me?'

"Are you coming? Oh, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement later."

"Don't make it sound like I just need to change into slippers when visiting your house!"

Now, Aiyin can be said to have no worries about the debts she has. There is also the confidentiality agreement she signed after leaving the Y organization, and this inexplicable place...

She took a deep breath and stepped into the elevator.

When the elevator closed and began to descend, she felt a little relieved. Even if the worst could happen, she... well, she was still a little scared, afraid that everyone would feel sad for her.

"Anyway, it's what I was talking about earlier, the veteran's clairvoyance suddenly disappearing on the battlefield."

Dolly's topic was very jumpy. "It was not until many years later, probably after the Vietnam War, that it was verified by an ace.

They are still separated by a wall of the same thickness, made of the same material, and with about the same number of people.

At that time, the Red Empire was overwhelming America, and I don’t know who got the intelligence that the Red Empire was creating ape warriors…”

"What does this have to do with that 'perspective'?" Aine interrupted her. She was really afraid that the other party would 'accidentally' reveal some secrets to her, and then she might not be able to return to Area 11.

"Listen to me, young people nowadays really have no patience."

Dolly, who is only about 30 years old, speaks with the tone of an elderly person lamenting the decline of morality. "At that time, America cut military spending, but on this kind of 'ahead of its time' project, it did not hesitate to invest.

On the one hand, they sent agents to gather intelligence on the so-called ape warriors, and on the other hand, they restarted the research on this "super soldier". Finally, the scientists with funding were able to explore the speculation of the year.

The prerequisites are similar to the perspective experiment, but with many more variables.

One of them is to refer to quantum physics, the classical 'observer', the experimenters found a large number of volunteers and divided them into four groups

The volunteers in group A knew nothing, while the volunteers in group B knew that there was a person on the other side of the wall, but they did not know whether the person was a man or a woman, or how old he was.

Group D knew that there was an outstanding naval lieutenant on the other side of the wall, along with his name, family situation, and childhood experiences. Group C received less information than Group D. What do you think the result of the experiment would be?

Which group's number did this Navy Lieutenant Commander pilot predict most accurately?"

"Except for Group A, the others are the same," Aine blurted out without thinking.

Whether people know her or not, as long as they know she is somewhere, Aine will feel that she is being watched.

Of course, if it is not under the other party's 'visual' observation, the distance must be close enough, about the range of a classroom,

"As expected of a new..."

“New humans or something,” Aine interrupted the other person, “I’m not mature enough to use that kind of words to describe it.”

"I'm neither as desperate as Xiao Deng nor as persistent as Su Shi, so it's only natural that I can do this."

The elevator descended for about 30 seconds before stopping and slowly opening. Aine estimated that it had descended the height of a residential building.

As expected, the 'laser corridor' under Raccoon City, which was similar to the sci-fi Resident Evil, did not appear. The underground space that appeared in Aine's vision was empty, like an unfinished underground garage.

In this underground space, there is a facility with lights on. It is as eye-catching as a room with lights on next to the street in the early morning.

It was a square 'iron box' slightly smaller than a classroom.

'I'm here!'

This time, the call in my mind finally became clear.

Aiyin seemed to be guided by something and walked towards the 'iron box'.

Given the size of this iron box, it certainly couldn't have come down from the elevator they took. Perhaps there was another freight elevator?

But at this moment, the pink-haired girl no longer had the time to analyze these things.

She walked towards the "iron box" or birdcage with light coming through several large glass panels.

A girl who was as graceful as a canary and knew nothing about the world outside the cage, was excitedly talking in front of the window because of Aine's arrival.

She looked, perhaps even younger than Aine, with blue eyes, golden hair, and a slightly baby-fat face, looking like a doll.

"Hey, are you calling me?"

Aine asked this, but the girl named 'Alice' continued to talk to herself. Although Aine couldn't hear what she said,

"This device is made of special materials. Unless a bomb is detonated inside, you can't hear it at all.

Moreover, the glass is one-way transparent, so you can only see inside from the outside."

"Then why did she..."

Aine had the answer in her mind when she asked halfway.

As for why that girl knew I was coming, there was only one answer.

She is a new human being.

"Once she calms down, she can communicate with you again using... brain waves," Dolly said, choosing her words carefully. "Now, go around the 'rabbit hole' and see how Alice reacts."

Aiyin didn't do as she was told. Instead, she turned around and looked at Dolly unkindly, "Why is this child locked up here?"

The atmosphere in the iron box is close to that of a space station. In the corner stands a space suit for going out of the cabin. There is no trace of life at all.

It was as if the girl in the iron box was really living in outer space.

"What's this kid?" Dolly gave the pink-haired girl a light slap. "She's your senior. She's much older than you, both in age and in her progress as an astronaut candidate.

She is now in the final stages of her closed-space adaptation training. You may be able to visit her in dormitory 207 in a few days."

"senior?"

Aiyin was a little bit incredulous, "No matter how you think about it, she's younger than me, right?"

"Sometimes you can't judge a person by appearance alone, young man."

Dolly pushed her glasses up. "She's someone who looks so young, but she's about to land on a colony. Besides, Alice is already 30 years old this year."

"30 years old?" Aine's eyes widened, and she belatedly said, "Is she the astronaut who's going to the colony next month?"

“…” Dolly was silent for a moment before speaking, “They said they were going to the colonies, but they’re probably going to heaven.

The spacecraft that Domino Company rushed to build was not a stable thing. There were only about 100 astronauts in service in America, and only half of them were physically fit enough to accept such a challenge.

Even if Domino could convince them, America wouldn't allow it; they're preparing the next batch of rockets that are available."

"You mean Alice isn't up to the task of this launch?"

"No," Dolly shook her head. "She performed very well, better than most new astronauts, but she's not an astronaut. She's just a mascot for the tax thieves, along with fringe researchers like me.

The big lab has better and more powerful newcomers and researchers. Maybe it's time for her to make use of her remaining energy?"

'Sorry, I'm so excited,'

Alice's voice echoed in Aine's head, "Are you also chosen by God? I can feel that your soul is stronger than everyone else's."

Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Alice, and I'm a student in Group A. Now, can you tell me your name?

Behind the one-way translucent glass, the blonde girl's eyes were as bright as a puppy that had seen a bone.

"My name is Chihaya Aine," the pink-haired girl tried to imagine this in her head, but received no response.

This is natural. It's like breathing. Those who can do it will do it naturally, and those who can't do it will not do it even if they force themselves.

"Is that so? You can't even talk to me... Then I'll come see you after my training is over."

It was obvious that Alice was a little disappointed, but she still smiled and waved goodbye to the person outside who she didn't know what kind of person he was: "Bye, and good night."

"Goodnight, Alice…senpai."

Even though she knew the other person couldn't hear her, Aine still said goodbye properly.

Three o'clock in the morning,

In the ascending elevator, the pink-haired girl asked Dolly, "Why did you ask me to come here?"

"I want to find someone to talk to Alice. She's actually quite scared of being alone."

"Why don't you refuse, Alice-senpai?"

"Because she also loves the star in the sky, because she... has long since lost her place to return to."

“I see.” Aine didn’t ask why, because even if she knew, it would be meaningless.

Although Alice looks very...'young', she is already an adult, and adults always have to take responsibility for their choices.

The elevator reached the ground, and after leaving the elevator, Aine no longer felt the feeling of being called.

"Hey, Miss Dolly, can you tell me about Alice-senpai?"

Aine, it seems like she's always doing meaningless things...

"She'll tell you about that kind of thing herself. Goodbye, Little White Mouse Number Two."

"Wait!"

Looking at the closing elevator door, the pink-haired girl stomped her feet in anger, "Who is guinea pig number two?!"

After walking out of the windowless building, Aine pinched the back of her hand, feeling a little pain, proving that what she had just experienced was not an illusion.

"Go back to bed,"

When Aine thought about tomorrow's training, she got a headache.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Miss Isabella. I am the person you are looking for. You can call me Ye Zang."

Xia Ya's meeting with the Liuqiu Restorationists was somewhat unexpected.

Before she could go to the other party to find trouble, the other party came to her, and in the busy crew,

Xia Ya had seen this so-called Ye Zang before. He was a 'stage assistant' who came with the new director team.
