Space itself is a powerful force.

Alan felt this deeply as he got out of the transport airship and stood in this open harbor square. Heavily armed soldiers maintained order around the square, and behind their human walls were the onlookers of the inhabitants of Babylon. The nobles who lived on the floating island watched with eager eyes the children who stepped out of the escort ship, and cheered at them.

A total of 22 pilot ships docked at Liberty Harbor, the largest port on Babylon that today is open to the participants of the Death Ring. Alan saw twenty or so boys and girls about his age disembarking from their respective airships, and like Ellen, most of them were often shocked by the scene in front of them, and stayed there for a while.

But one or two young men waved their hands at the nobles of Babylon with smiles on their faces, and some even gave kisses, so the cheers became louder.

At this moment, a large shadow appeared on the ground of the square, and Alan looked up to see that it was an airship. Beneath the streamlined hull is a rectangular metal pod. On each side of the pod there is a large screen with a welcome screen from the Plaza de la Goddess.

"It's a live broadcast of the organizing committee of the Death Ring, so don't bother with them. It's really not creative to do the same thing every time. Tonisf nudged Alan and said, "Let's go, baby." Time waits for no one. ”

At the exit of the plaza, there are all land-based flying cars. They are also Rubik's Cube energy-powered tools that use an anti-gravity engine drive system. Somewhat resembling a giant dragonfly, it has a streamlined main body with a steady support bar behind it, and the baffle and control blades are located behind the support bar to form a rudder-like member that can be used to change direction.

Each Landside Flying Car has only two seats and is available for ushers and participants to travel to designated training sites for the final training session of the month. Tonisf took Alan into one of the flying cars marked with the number "13", and Alan was about to sit down, but asked the second lieutenant to stand: "You have to stand so they can see you." Listen baby, although the game doesn't start until a month later. But in fact, the competition between you and the other children has already begun. Trust me, you've got to behave well. The more people like you, the more advantageous you will be. ”

The flying cars started one by one, and the steady ailerons stretched out from both sides of the locomotive, and the power crew at the bottom began to move. Under the influence of the anti-gravity engine, the locomotive floated smoothly, stopped after 20 centimeters above the ground, and then turned around and drove out of the port exit in an orderly manner.

The convoy followed the route designated by the organizers, and above the convoy, the steam airship followed the whole process. Two hosts, a man and a woman, appeared on the big screen, and they introduced the inhabitants of Babylon to the boys from various districts in a witty and humorous tone. Along the way, the teenagers on the land cart were greeted by the nobles of the floating island.

They cheered and shouted, pointing and judging the teenagers who passed by.

Even though Tonisf wanted Alan to smile, he couldn't laugh. After the initial shock, he noticed that the inhabitants of Babylon were all elated, and in their eyes, Alan did not see any friendliness. These people look at themselves more like they are looking at a rare animal. Perhaps for these nobles, they and others are like jugglers on stage, and they are spectators ready to enjoy a grand performance.

That's right, audience! They stand here to welcome the surface boys of the floating island, just to see the tools of the show in advance. As for the life and death of the tools, they will not care. The death of a cat or dog can make them feel distressed for a while. As for the untouchables on the surface, they can't even compare to the pets they serve.

Looking at Alan's expressionless face, Tonisf sighed.

At this time, in the airship in the sky, the host said: "Lu Sen of District 12 is such a grumpy child, I hope he will have a better performance in the future." Okay, let's take a look at the players in District 13. Well, his name is Allen...... Oh, my God. What a special kid this is. ”

As soon as the picture turned on the big screen, Allen's picture appeared. In the picture, Alan is standing in a land truck. There was not a smile on his face, his lips pursed, and there was even a hint of anger in his eyes. However, the proper clothing, handsome features, and the independent silver hair color made the inhabitants of Babylon cry out in amazement.

The host then said, "I'm sure you've seen it too, our dear Alan. God, if it weren't for the fact that the information on hand did indicate that he was from District 13, I wouldn't have believed that this teenager was from the surface. I prefer to believe that he is a young master from some upper-class nobleman, looking at his temperament and noble hair color. Can you believe it? He actually came from the surface? ”

As soon as the words fell, the nobles on both sides of the highway shouted.

"How is it possible, are you mistaken? How could such a beautiful teenager come from such a place full of garbage on the surface! ”

"Oh my God, this can't be some young master who accidentally fell to the surface, right?"

"The Organizing Committee should thoroughly investigate that it is impossible for the untouchables on the surface to have such a noble temperament!"

In the midst of these loud chatters, there were even young women screaming, "I love you, Alan." ”

On the land car, Allen's face became even more ugly. The boy whispered, "They're so noisy. ”

Tonisfu laughed, "The more noisy they are, the better it will be for you, baby." ”

On the floating airship, the host said: "Everyone, our little Allen has a special story. You know, the number on his body was supposed to belong to a little fat man named Bes. But the father of this little fat man asked Alan to replace his own son and handed over our little Ellen. Now, of course, the father and son have been duly punished. But after Ensign Ron found out about this, he once gave Alan a chance. He could have chosen to quit, but our young master chose to stay. What courage that is! ”

On the airship screen, a video of the execution of the Hearn father and son was inserted, and finally the host said, "Let's look forward to Allen's next appearance." ”

A pocket watch slipped onto the smooth floor.

Somewhere on the island, a live broadcast of the welcome scene was projected on the wall of a room, showing Alan's still childish face. Someone freezes the picture, and then looks at the boy in the picture with fascination. It was only after a few moments that he sat down weakly on a gray couch.

He reached for the pocket watch on the floor, which contained a photograph. The photo shows a girl, who is only about twelve or thirteen years old. The delicate little face has a stubborn face, and the demeanor and appearance are very similar to Alan in the picture.

"Ten years old? Or eleven? No matter what age you are, it's very kissing in terms of time. And this face, oh my God...... Lanny, is he your child? ”

The man tapped a silver bell on the table, and a moment later, a man who looked like a butler walked in. The man pointed to the screen and said, "I want this child's genetic comparison!" ”

"Compare it with whom." The butler asked cautiously.

"Me!"

The housekeeper lowered his head: "Master, the committee will not let outsiders come into contact with these children." ”

"No matter what method you use, I'm going to get it for me! Otherwise, you'll me off! The man snarled, his tone irrefutable.

"I see." The butler nodded and stepped back.

The man seemed to have lost all his strength, and he sat back. Holding his head in his hands, he said bitterly, "How can this be, in case he is really Lanny's child." I'm stupid how I'm going to get him out of that hell. I knew you would be so stubborn, I shouldn't have stopped you back then. At least then you'll still be with me, Lanny, my child......"

He looked at the picture on the wall in pain, looked at Alan, and he groaned, "God, please don't do this to me. I have already lost a loved one, please don't let me lose a second one. If he is. ”

Alan didn't know that there was a person who was falling into painful memories for his appearance at this moment, he only knew that when the automatic door of the training base building was closed, his ears suddenly became much quieter. The base building is divided into 23 floors and has been used for the training of Death Ring fighters for a month before the competition. During the month, each of them will be guided by a mentor individually, so that they can improve their skills and have a better chance of surviving the competition.

Each floor corresponds to a district, and the top floor is used for the office of the organizing committee of the competition, and is also used to inspect the players of each district from time to time.

Watching Tonisf stride like a model in front of him, Alan suddenly felt that this shemale lieutenant was not as annoying as before. At least, he didn't look at himself like a tool for entertainment like the inhabitants of Babylon. Tonisf took little Allen to the 13th floor, and as soon as the elevator door opened, he could smell the rich smell of wine wafting through the hallway.

"Forget jì tell you, Hughton, this old guy is still a drunkard." Tonisf stomped hard across the hallway floor with his cool heels, after typing the code in front of an electronic door. The automatic door opens with indentation on both sides, and inside is an open space.

The entrance was a dining area, and Alan saw a long dining table with neatly arranged chairs, a fridge and wine cooler, and even an open kitchen. Behind is the training area, which is spacious enough and equipped with various equipment. There was also a weapon rack in the corner of the south wall, filled with guns and swords.

At the end are several rooms, which are supposed to be used for the players and mentors to rest.

A man was lying on the dining table, with several empty wine bottles scattered at his feet. In his hand on the table, he still held the half-drunk bottle. Inside, amber whiskey was pouring down from the slanted mouth of the bottle, creating a tiny puddle on the floor.

"Oh, Mr. Hughton. Damn, Major General, you're getting yourself drunk again! Tonisf screamed and strode over shaking the man.

The man slept like a dead pig, and no matter how much he shook him, he never woke up. The second lieutenant was so angry that he stamped his foot like a woman, and suddenly saw the wine bottle in his hand, and immediately took it. Then he shook the mouth of the bottle back and forth against the man's nose, and suddenly, he moved. Almost the whole person jumped up and shouted: "Good wine, good wine!" Give me, give me! ”

"Mr. Hughton, you're awake at last." Tony gave him back the decanter.

Without saying a word, the man picked up the wine bottle and drank the wine from the bottle before burping, "It's you, Tonisf." Didn't you go on vacation? ”

"Mr. Hughton, I'm on my way to the surface to pick up people. Don't you forget, the new Death Ring will start in a month, right? ”

"When...... Of course. The man yawned, "Those guys on the committee asked me to be a mentor for a kid, and promised to give me a box of top-notch volcanic beauties after the competition." That's a fine wine from Adahuaxing, how could I miss it? ”

"Thank God, you haven't fooled yourself up yet. Then this is the player you want to coach. Hailing from District 13, his name is Alan. Tonisf beckoned to Allen.

Alan walked over.

Finally, I saw that this was an old man in his fifties. But Alan swore that he had never seen such a strong old man. Wrinkles have crawled on his face, and the bags under his eyes are even more blue from years of drinking. But his body was as strong as a bear, and even Ron was thinner than him. When he fully stood up, it was like a mountain, and Alan was completely submerged in his shadow!

Strangely enough, Tonisf has already said that this Huton is a major general. It stands to reason that his source power should be stronger than Ron's. But on his body, Alan couldn't even see the light of half of the source power. Beside him, the pale green fluorescent light on Tonisf's body told Sù Allen that his ability had not failed.

"Is that the kid? Looks okay, let me see what you've learned in Ron's kennel. Hutton reached out and pressed his large hand to Allen's forehead.

Alan subconsciously stepped away, but somehow, his forehead was still pressed by Hughton's hand. Hughton's palm began to burn, and it was then that Alan realized that this old man not only had the source power, but also the source power was very bright. It was almost like a small sun rising inside him, and Alan couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Well, four source force vortices have been tempered. Did it only take four months? Properties of Source Force...... It's too faint to feel it for a while. But the potential is ok, wait......"

Hughton's originally lethargic appearance suddenly swept away his lazy expression, and his eyes even became sharp.

Tonisf stood next to him, seemingly sweating for Alan. Seeing the sudden change in Hughton's face, the second lieutenant couldn't help but ask nervously, "What happened?" ”

Hughton let go of Alan, his eyes became a little strange, and then he looked at Tonisv and said, "Are you sure you didn't pick up the wrong person?" ”

"Of course not!"

"Then this kid doesn't need my guidance."

"Why?" The second lieutenant asked.

Hughton turned his head, looked at Allen with a blank face, and said, "His body was imprisoned by someone using source power, you should know. People with source force imprisonment can't even build a genetic circuit at all. Such a person, even if I guide him, it is useless. Participating in the competition is tantamount to suicide! ”
