In order for Abian to advance as soon as possible, it gave the key to the mirror space to Abian. Abian also had a sense of propriety and would return the key on the same day after using it every day.
At first, when Abian didn't return the key on the first day, Snake thought he was practicing so much that he forgot all about food and sleep and lost track of time, so he didn't pay much attention.
It wasn't until the third day that there was no sign of Abian that Snake realized that something was seriously wrong.
He has been waiting outside the space door for 3 hours. It's not that he doesn't want to go in, but the mirror space is a multi-dimensional space, just like a house with many rooms. Only the corresponding key can open the room.
And now Abian is the only person in control of that room. Without him opening the door, Snake can't enter at all.
The anxious Snake had no idea. Only the top commander of the fortress had the key to open any space.
It was inevitable that Snake still wanted to alarm the higher-ups, so he prepared for the worst, "If he doesn't come out today, he will have to find the major general."
After waiting another 2 hours, the time has reached noon.
Snake, who was walking back and forth, finally couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart. When he was about to find the key immediately, the space door began to flash the blue light for transmission.
———
After Abian regained consciousness, he immediately got up and checked his body, but apart from a slight increase in strength, there were no other changes.
But the system reminder before coma was clearly heard again.
"It's impossible. Why hasn't it changed at all?" With doubts, he quickly picked up the shirt thrown next to him.
His physical condition made him want to find Snake as soon as possible to understand the situation.
He turned his head and left the space.
As soon as he came out of the space, he immediately saw the anxious Snake. Before he could start to speak, he was scolded by Snake.
After understanding the reason, Abian was also very surprised. It was just an ordinary awakening, why did he end up in a coma for three days?
"Is there something wrong with your health?" Snake saw Abian who was silent and thought something was wrong.
Abian took advantage of the situation and told Snake about his physical condition.
"Lotus mark?" Snake looked at Abian strangely.
It's not that there are no cases where some special features appear on the body after awakening. Horns, tails, fangs, etc. have all appeared before, but Snake has never heard of something like the lotus mark.
"Maybe it has something to do with your ability." Snake thought for a while before giving the answer.
"But why is there no difference between awakening and before?" Abian also expressed the biggest question in his mind.
After hearing this, Snake nodded and said, "That's right."
Abian looked at him doubtfully, wondering if Snake had made a mistake.
Understanding Abian's doubts, Snake said slowly: "Awakening is actually more like a process of turning into a butterfly. You have to go through cocoon to become a butterfly, and you are still in the adaptation period."
"Adaptation period?" The brand-new term attracted Abian's attention.
"Billy and you are just awakened ones in the adaptation period. They have not yet fully opened up the limits of their bodies and awakened their skills. It can only be said that you have only half-stepped into the awakening sequence." Snake explained.
Abian, who understood the reason, was not discouraged and continued to ask Snake.
"How can I awaken my skills?"
Snake liked Abian's spirit of not being discouraged very much, and slowly explained: "Keep using your strengths until you reach the limit and he will come out. This may be a day or decades. You
Just hold on."
"Specialty?" Born as an ordinary creature, it has no special abilities except the memory and system of Xingyiquan.
Confused and wanting answers, he turned his attention to Snake.
"Don't look at me, I was too confused to awaken my skills." Abian, who didn't get the answer, had to give up.
After repeatedly confirming that there was nothing wrong with his health, and telling Aibian to meet with his superiors later, the two left separately.
In the bathroom, hot water washed over my tired body, and the previous scenes reappeared before my eyes.
"One step closer to revenge, mother."
After washing the dirt off his body, he put on a new training uniform and went to the appointed place to wait for Snake.
Within a moment, Snake's figure appeared in Aibian's field of vision.
The uniform has been clearly prepared, the smell of shampoo just coming out of the shower is still there on the body, and the leather shoes under the feet are also extremely polished.
Abian looked at him curiously.
It's understandable that he should wash himself, but why would Snake make such a fuss?
"Captain, who are we going to see later?" he asked curiously.
""Wait~wait~~wait a moment, please speak less." Before he could get a reply, he saw that Snake was trembling so much that he couldn't even speak clearly.
Snake walked in front silently, but his trembling figure was completely seen by Snake behind him. Seeing such an unbearable scene, he also became curious about what kind of existence the upper class he was about to meet was like.
The two left the fortress and walked towards the back of the fortress. Abian had never been to the back of the fortress and couldn't believe it when he saw the flowers blooming on both sides. After all, who would have thought that there would be a lush garden behind the fortress.
.
The two were walking on the garden path, and Abian, who was still looking around, bumped into Snake who stopped.
He turned around and glanced at Aibike angrily, then returned to his trembling state.
"Lieutenant Colonel, Sergeant Abbian has woken up." Snake finished the sentence while trembling with difficulty.
Only then did Abian see the person who frightened Snake.
A figure in the center of the garden is drinking tea and reading the newspaper in her hand, enjoying afternoon tea leisurely like an elegant lady. The figure with her back to her cannot be seen clearly what she looks like, but the rose-red hair falling from behind is on the shoulders.
You can tell she is a beautiful woman with her long hair and graceful figure.
The figure with his back turned down the tea cup, but did not turn around and said, "Well, how is your strength?"
"The actual strength is stronger than that of ordinary awakened ones." Snake was still in the same trembling state.
Abian became more and more curious as to why the woman in front of him was so afraid of Snake.
The woman behind the voice continued: "Then it all depends on you, Captain, I'm optimistic about you."
The gentle voice made Snake tremble even more: "Yes, Lieutenant Colonel, let's leave first."
After saying that, he felt like he had seen a ghost, and quickly fled the garden with Abian without waiting for the woman to reply.
The woman didn't mind and waved to them goodbye.
Snake, who left the garden and returned to the fortress, was breathing heavily as if he had been reborn.
"Still alive," said Snake, who was sweating profusely.
