Abyss Train

Chapter 770 Mission ①: New Medic

Foreword:

When war comes, the first to fall is truth.

—Hiram Johnson

"Sergeant First Class Maguire! Get your stuff!"

A loud roar was heard in the barracks, and the deputy chief of staff specially met with Sergeant Maguire. As a support force for the Fast Blade Vanguard Regiment in special times, Mr. Maguire was spared some of his imprisonment.

He should have been convicted of manslaughter, or at least given an emergency avoidance order for the murder in the Saladin area and placed under surveillance for six months.

But the actual situation is more urgent and more dangerous than imagined - this medical staff who has just awakened his soul power, as the Elf Chosen of Beloberg, is familiar with the secrets of knight combat skills and has excellent instant combat power. Once he is deployed to the army, he can immediately play a role.

In fact, this is what Staff Officer Luca thought. Before Maguire was investigated, the veteran had already written a letter of recommendation, which led to the search and rescue team composed of Jun Ge and Lao Ma.

By the way, even if this team cannot find the two brothers, there will be other search and rescue teams to take over their tasks. More than 400 soldiers have been deployed in the search and rescue operation around the Ai Zong Mausoleum. This saturation rescue is aimed at the Quick Knife Scout Team - finding Billy Horn and Foyanini is bound to happen.

For Maguire, there are many items placed on the conference table in the tent, which is his complete set of equipment.

Carrying gear, lights, survival knives, noise-cancelling headsets, night vision goggles and thermal imaging.

Portable individual laser rangefinder, shock wave detection paper, friend-or-foe identification marks, as well as a variety of grouped Velcro storage bags and small carrying items.

The medical care section has a large backpack with a mini freezer and a stock of panaceas, a surgical tool kit, ammunition and firearms, and a grenade launcher that fires 40mm ammunition.

The main weapon is the QBZ-191 tactical assault rifle, which is equipped with a complete set of supplies such as gun sights and laser flashlights. The gun grip is wrapped with a layer of rubber stickers according to the shape of Sergeant Maguire's hand.

The secondary weapon is a Python .357 revolver, which is also what Mr. Maguire used to defend himself and hunt. The staff officer knows the favorite items of every soldier of the Quick Knife. This is his survival skill and his specialty.

The staff officer scolded: "They are your second life! Your wife! Your lover! Your vital mission!"

Maguire and Mr. Staff saluted in response.

"New recruits! Take them to see your squad leader! You have completed the search and rescue mission, this is just the appetizer." The staff officer pointed to the open space in the barracks: "Senior Sergeant Maguire! You are now a member of the Anonymous Quick Blade Assault Team - go and accept the test! Complete your training mission!"

Lao Ma packed up his things and carried his heavy luggage to the shooting range in the camp. He saw the gunsmith and his students from afar.

"Psychologist!" Maguire shouted with laughter.

The gunsmith didn't turn around, but waved behind him, indicating that he heard it.

The legendary hero is currently unavailable and is focusing on mentoring students.

Billy Horn was sweating profusely, trying to act fancy in front of the teacher. He called out [Echoism] again and again, and Quetzalcoatl responded to the call, performed some strange behaviors, and then immediately returned to Billy's body.

"I don't understand." The gunsmith was still the strict, old-fashioned, and unpleasant teacher. "What do you want to do?"

He pointed at the rubber tires in the shooting range. They were all scraps from military vehicles. These things were piled together to become various targets.

[Echoism] Just now it was as if I farted into the air, threw a few punches, and disappeared just like that.

Billy looked frustrated and didn't know what to say.

The gunsmith, wearing a pair of leather gloves, held Billy Horn's chin and rubbed the student's cheek.

"You're going to skip the third subject in front of me? And then embarrass me to death? Billy! Use your imagination!"

Billy muttered, "No, teacher."

"What's that?" the gunsmith waved his hand. "What did you do? What did you do to these targets?"

From the Night Demon's face, one can see impatience, as well as burning hope and expectation.

——To be honest, Jiang Xueming was very satisfied with Billy Horn's performance.

This kid overcame his inner demons, defeated the Blood Eagle, and killed Judas.

Among all the gunsmith's students, this guy is the most capable and has the best future.

As for the flaw detection magnetic powder of [Echoism], the gunsmith believes that this is a very powerful superpower - not only can it be used as a tracer for the Death Gate, the powerful gravitational force it brings can also perform many incredible miracles.

It’s just that Billy Horn’s brain seems to be stuck. He lacks this kind of childlike innocence and it seems difficult for him to break conventional cognition.

"I just wanted to use [Echoism] to suck a tire over here." Billy stammered as he explained, "Teacher, it seems a bit heavy. My soul power is not that strong - or I am not angry enough. I am a redstone man. If I don't have pyroxene, I shouldn't be able to pull these things."

"I've seen your combat record against the Blood Eagle." The gunsmith nodded in approval, then frowned and glared: "Well done! You did very well! But have you ever thought about - Billy Horn!"

“When you’re fighting these monsters with your pickaxe, perhaps the convenience that [Echoism] brings you is not actually for close combat—if you have a gun, this superpower can allow your bullets to find the enemy’s fatal weakness.”

Billy didn't quite understand: "Huh?"

"Using blood enchantment is the most basic and simplest way to communicate with spirits." The gunsmith said as he took the gun and aimed, "Call on your soul power."

"[Echoism]!" Billy Horn shouted.

The feathered serpent incarnation emerged from the man's back. In an instant, the gunsmith grabbed Billy the Kid's hand and asked him to cock the hammer himself.

Then the Quetzalcoatl blew a piece of crystal clear powder towards the target. The powder turned into spiritual fire and attached to the fragile doors of the four rubber tires, reflecting various dot patterns.

Gunsmith: "Watch it!"

Billy perked up, only to feel a burning pain in his palm.

Beloberg cut open his palm, and blood flowed down the magazine's feed plate.

Teacher Su Ling, who was watching with great interest while holding a rice flower bucket, was surprised and asked, "You are so fast in wiping the blood lipids? Are you cheating?"

The moment the slide was reset, Billy the Kid's body was guided by the teacher, who held the gun and fired continuously. A string of bullets hit four different targets, raising clouds of dust.

The phantom incarnation of [Echoism] appeared in the dust, and the bullet shot into the fragile death gate of the rubber tire. This powerful soul power immediately launched a coordinated attack, which came and went quickly, and it was a one-shot attack, as fast as wind and thunder.

In just over 1,800 milliseconds, these four bullets acted as strike guides, indicating the target for [Echoism]. The bullets hit the tire, revealing a layer of dry, cracked and brittle skin. The iron elbows and steel fists of the feathered serpent incarnation immediately followed up to expand the victory.

"Your superpowers are very efficient in killing, much stronger than Fragrant Dreams." The gunsmith grasped the key point and asked Billy Horn to quickly develop his psychic skills: "No carbon-based creature can survive this level of attack damage - your soul power can naturally find the weaknesses of objects. What you need to make up for is not the output of soul power, but how to send it to the enemy in a creative way."

"Hmm," Billy Horn seemed to be thinking about something. He covered his injured palm and looked at the scar for a long time. He thought to himself that if he kept bleeding during battle, the cost of this enchantment seemed a bit high. He had to stab himself every time before the fight even started. It was really not environmentally friendly.

The gunsmith teacher has already started the work——

"——Billy Horn, I have another idea, please cooperate with me."

In just one minute, Fenfang Huanmeng came out to do the hard labor, hammering and forging a circle of basin teeth and iron sheets, and made a peculiar hourglass-shaped pipe valve device.

Billy didn't understand what the teacher was doing, so he could only follow the teacher and didn't dare to say anything.

"This is a small toy that imitates a rocket's flame jet fuel device. It has a throttle valve and a split nozzle."

"The rocket can generate such a huge thrust and send things into the sky, and it also relies on this fuel injection device based on fluid mechanics."

"Since you want to amplify gravity, why not try using it in other places?"

As he said this, the gunsmith added water to the storage tank of the "hourglass" -

——The spirit of [Echoism] penetrated the tank and infiltrated all the magnetic powder into the liquid. They then possessed a certain amount of "gravity" and, inspired by Billy, began to spin unnaturally in the tank.

"Billy, let the spirit stand further away and let it reach the limit of its range."

Walk out thirty-six meters, this is the range limit of [Echoism].

Billy tried to motivate his spirit to continue walking. His expression began to show signs of exhaustion, and cold sweat broke out. His soul was about to leave his body - the Death Gate Effect was taking effect. "It's already the limit!"

The gunsmith said, "Come, let these waters return to your spirit body. Since these liquids also have [weaknesses], they will also be affected by the spirit power."

Along with the brilliant spiritual fire, there was also a trickle of water from the hourglass nozzle of the pipe valve. They were like shower nozzles, and the power sprayed out from the pipe was not as strong as Billy imagined.

Billy asked, “That’s it?”

The gunsmith quickly turned the valve disc, and at the moment the valve was closed, the liquid instantly exceeded the speed of sound in this wide→narrow→wide channel structure, making a terrifying whistling sound and turning into a water wall with a diameter of about eight meters.

The noise was indeed quite loud, but Billy Horn couldn't understand it -

——He didn’t understand what the gunsmith teacher was trying to do. Wasn’t this just pouring a pot of water evenly out?

The hourglass-shaped device's liquid tank was empty, and the gunsmith shouted again: "Billy! Use the superpower of [Echoism]!"

"[Echoism]! Pull them towards me!" Billy yelled.

The next second he fainted on the spot, it was so fast!

It happened so fast that I didn't have time to explain the principle clearly.

It was probably because the gunsmith's jet device strengthened the search range of [Echoism]. The magnetic powder sprayed out with the water source touched too many things. When Billy activated his soul power again, he wanted to pull about 64 square meters of land and uproot an old locust tree.

The effect of force is relative. His spirit was torn to pieces on the spot, and he himself was also partially affected. The skin on his torso and thighs was torn into several bloody scars, his pants were gone, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.

The gunsmith was quick-witted and quick-handed. He hugged Billy the Kid and started to feed him the elixir.

This kind of dangerous psychic experiment was nothing but commonplace to him. After his soul power awakened, he had been asking SD to do this and that, and to perform all kinds of stunts - if it were in ancient times, without a panacea or other things to repair mental damage, as a psychic wizard, he would have killed himself long ago.

This kind of thing is common in Shambhala. Otherwise, why would the cultivation of immortality always focus on wealth, Dharma, land, and companions? Without the support of a material foundation, it is easy to "go astray" if you play around with your spirit.

Old Ma felt a toothache watching from the side, especially the last loud sound of the spirit being shattered, which made his head ache.

"Do you need help? A psychiatrist?"

The gunsmith quickly handed the student over: "You're here at the right time! Come and take a look!"

"What a sin." Hasben Madison smacked his lips in amazement. He had a unique view on the tragedy that his junior fellow apprentice Billy Horn had encountered: "It seems that spirits with lower precision are the nightmares of the original body."

"Don't be idle either!" the gunsmith said, "Say hello to the new recruit, Mr. Maguire."

Hasben immediately adjusted his attitude, jumped over from the shooting range guardrail, and reached out to Maguire.

Old Ma was concentrating on the inspection and had no time to pay attention to the red-haired boy.

"——I'll tell you later."

Hasben immediately became impatient, and the veins on the back of his hands could almost be seen.

"teacher--"

Hasben turned to the gunsmith and asked.

"——Why is this guy a sergeant? If he was a recruit, he would be a private."

"Because he's a medical unit and has soul power," the gunsmith said frankly, "You're going to end up in a near-death situation on the front lines, with your body and mind badly injured, and you'll have to have Maguire and I to heal you."

"Tsk." Hasben was obviously unhappy. "I hope this guy won't piss his pants when he really faces the enemy."

Before Lao Ma could listen carefully to this, Jiang Xueming immediately changed the topic.

"Hasben, why didn't you stay in Lieyang Fort? I remember the boss assigned you a task to organize local armed forces and build a war group in the Lieyang Fort area."

"The schedule and tasks arranged for you by the Organization Department are very simple. If you follow the schedule table, you should be in Phoenix."

Hasben stretched and looked away——

"——Boring, I'm doing well in the bomb squad. If I can't come to the front line, you might as well kill me if you want me to go train."

"Hey!~" The gunsmith changed his mind and thought, doesn't this kid like the King of War?

The place called Sunhold was full of the victims of Valhalla's mishaps, people molded in the image of the War King.

If Hasben can resist this temptation, does that mean he will move on to the next stage? Can this kid also defeat his inner demons?

"That"

Speaking of this matter, Jiang Xueming didn't want to ask directly, so he changed the angle.

"Well, Haspen."

"You don't like your job?"

"I regretted it as soon as I got off the train!" Hasben said bluntly, rolling his eyes and sticking out his tongue.

Jiang Xueming asked curiously: "Why? The boss thought you would like this job."

"I do have a good impression of Gloria and I made all the preparations on the train. But when I saw these poor people in person, I hesitated." Hasben talked about these things and thought of the resettlement houses in the Lieyang Castle, and these women who had difficulty taking care of themselves in all aspects of their daily lives - their lives were almost ruined.

"My compassion led me to take the job, but it was only after some preparation that I could get back here."

"The time I spent fighting alongside the real Gloria is what I miss the most and what I long for the most."

"There is another key point."

At this point, Hasben clicked his tongue and raised his eyebrows, and his expression suddenly became lively.

"I can't forget her red hair, which is not found in knockoffs"

The gunsmith took off his gloves and slapped the boy in the face, sending him straight to his dreams.

"You can't even walk when you see red hair, right? You're such a loser and a disgrace!"

Mr. Maguire pinched Billy the Kid's philtrum and finally woke him up.

The gunsmith sighed and looked at Billy apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you on purpose. This accident was not my intention."

"Teacher" Billy covered his head, feeling as if there were worms in his brain. The death door effect almost tore his spiritual world apart, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Gunsmith: "Do you remember everything I taught you just now?"

Billy: “.”

Gunsmith: “.”

Billy: “.”

Gunsmith: "You are on the front line, ready to go to the battle position at any time. When the war comes, the first to fall is the truth - you need to master this violence, Billy Horn. I ask you again."

"Wait a minute!" Billy pondered and tried hard to recall, and finally came up with a twisted idea -

"——Teacher! Think about it! Think about it carefully! If the students don't return the teacher's knowledge! What will the teacher use to teach the next student?"

Maguire applauded. He was originally worried about Billy's mental state.

“—Discharge!”
