"Hello." Regarding the woman in front of her, although she was beautiful and full of the charm of a truly mature woman, Xiao Ran had no idea. He politely stretched out his hand and gently shook it and let go.
He also knew that the woman in front of him was by no means a simple character. It was at least several times more difficult to fool her than the guys on the Archangel, and he did not dare to relax at all. When Erica Simmonds pointed out his military position in the Earth Army, Xiao Ran took it for granted, but the surprise that flashed in his eyes was not hidden from Erica's eyes.
After retracting her hand, Erica hugged it to her chest again, looked at Xiao Ran and said, "Are you surprised that I know your identity?"
"No, I don't think there's anything surprising." Xiao Ran shook his head and said calmly: "Since I can be here, either the person who sent me here told you my identity, or you have already investigated me. , or maybe both, otherwise you wouldn’t be so relieved to appear in front of me without any precautions.”
Erica smiled, looked Xiao Ran up and down, and said meaningfully: "I didn't expect that there are people like you hidden in the Industrial College of Heliopolis."
"What does she mean by this?" Xiao Ran thought quickly in his mind, but said: "I am not the only one who is willing to be an ordinary person in Orb."
"Maybe." Erica nodded, turned around and walked to the cabinet next to the hospital bed. She opened the cabinet and took out a brand new set of Dawn Social work clothes and threw them on the bed, including a yellow top and a pair of black casual pants, and said, "You Your injury is no longer a problem, don’t you want to go out for a walk?”
Xiao Ran nodded, and Erica walked out of the room. While changing clothes, Xiao Ran also thought in his mind: "The identity assigned by the Prometheus system will definitely not be a problem in their eyes, but they are afraid that what he said from his mouth does not match the identity assigned by the system. It will arouse other people’s suspicions, and no matter what, you must not say anything about yourself from my mouth.”
"There should be a monitor in the room, otherwise Erica would coincidentally appear in the ward not long after I woke up. I have to be careful about the expression on my face, but how could I have come to Orb? Is it Luo? Or Archangel?”
Xiao Ran had no expression on his face, and calmly changed his clothes and walked out of the ward. He was wearing a pair of leather boots he found under the bed, and followed Erica out of the hospital building without saying a word. It wasn't until he walked out of the hospital and looked from the opposite direction to the ward window that Xiao Ran realized that he seemed to be in a huge factory area, and the hospital behind him seemed to be just a hospital inside a factory.
Before Xiao Ran could ask where she was specifically, Erica began to introduce: "This is the Shuguang Society factory on Yu Neng Qi Lu Island. I think you, as an Orb, should be familiar with it. For an ordinary civilian, this is It’s just that I’m not familiar with it.”
Xiao Ran turned around and looked around, but he also saw a lot of factories and staff coming and going. Hearing what Erica said, he replied: "Shuguang Club is not for idlers. If you take me to wander around like this, I'm afraid It’s not quite appropriate.”
"Although Shuguang Society is a military factory, you already know the biggest secrets. Do you still think there are any secrets that can be hidden here?" Erica walked forward without looking back until she came to a car. The car stopped in front of me: "Although it's a bit embarrassing for me to 'hang out' with you just after you woke up, I still hope you can go see the same thing with me."
Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders and took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat. He also turned to look at Erica who had not gotten in the car: "It's time to go."
"Haha." Erica smiled softly, got in the car, started it, and quickly started speeding through the vast factory: "You don't seem to be worried at all about where I am taking you."
"Someone sent me here and allowed you to treat me. I believe that the person who sent me here definitely believed in you and left me here alone." Xiao Ran leaned on the back of the chair and said a little tiredly: "So there will be no danger wherever you take me, so what do I have to worry about? It's just that I don't know who sent me to Orb, and why is it still in the Dawn Society?"
Erica glanced at Xiao Ran in surprise, nodded while driving and said: "You are very calm. If someone else wakes up from a coma and finds themselves in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people, can you do this?" Not many people are so calm. You are right. The person who sent you here really believed in us, so he handed you over to us for treatment, and he also brought something that we couldn't refuse. That's why The existence of that thing will allow you to stay in the Shuguang Society's hospital for treatment."
Xiao Ran glanced at Erica, and already knew in his heart who sent him to the Dawn Society, and said: "It's the person from the recycling house, Director Simmonds, how long have I been in coma?"
"Today is exactly the seventh day since you arrived at Orb." Erica said, looking at Xiao Ran curiously and strangely: "Your physical fitness is very good, and it would be impossible for others to recover from an injury like that." It happened so quickly, I started to wonder if you were an adjuster after all."
Xiao Ran smiled softly and asked: "Have you ever investigated me? I don't think you need to ask me again whether I am an adjuster."
Erica shook her head and said nothing. A few minutes later, the car drove into a huge factory. There was nothing special about the factory. There were some equipment and supplies that Xiao Ran didn't understand the function of. But looking at After Erica got off the car, she walked towards a corner and clicked the button a few times before Xiao Ran discovered that there was a hidden elevator there.
When he walked out of the elevator, he saw an even larger underground warehouse that made Xiao Ran look surprised. He looked up and forgot that on both sides of the huge underground warehouse that was at least several hundred meters long, there was a Taiwanese new MS standing neatly. It has an appearance similar to the Heretic Gundam. The red, black and white body is full of mechanical beauty under the search lights.
Looking forward, the first MS on the left was what really surprised Xiao Ran. It was an MS being repaired: "Dark Heretic? Why are they here?"
Erica came over, folded her hands and looked at the dark heretic and said calmly: "This should belong to Orb, so it's not surprising that it is here."
"You said you wanted me to see it, and the things brought over from the recycling house are the Black Heretic?" Xiao Ran frowned slightly, looked up at the Black Heretic, and then looked at the M1 Heretic mass production machine. Comparison of the two machines. Next, Xiao Ran also found that the armor of the mass-produced machine seemed to be much simpler, making the entire body look much lighter. To describe it in one word, it would be brittle.
"Yes, I was shocked when they brought this thing. I didn't expect that they actually had one on hand, and asked me to repair it. They also told me that the one lying in the life-support cabin was the pilot, and there was only one You can make the machine restart." Erica turned to look at Xiao Ran, put down her clasping hands, and looked at Xiao Ran seriously: "At that time, you were already dying, so I had to mobilize the best from Orb. Only a few doctors saved you. Now that you have woken up, I hope you can help me open the body's system and lift the lock."
Xiao Ran suddenly smiled, shook his head and said: "If the machine is really locked, it was definitely not my fault, so there is no point in you looking for me. And since the people from the recycling house will send me here, then I am sure that Luo will definitely I have already been paid in advance for your rescue, so I cannot and cannot agree to your request.”
Erica frowned and stared at Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran acted as if nothing had happened. He turned his head to the Black Heretic as if nothing had happened and said leisurely: "If the body is really locked, the only one who can unlock it is me... Although I don't I know why Luo did this, but he must have his intentions, and I won’t do it before seeing him.”
"Hey, I really can't help it." Erica suddenly sighed and spread her hands helplessly: "You are just like the professor said, you are really a difficult person. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that you just woke up. Let you unlock the body without knowing anything. It seems that everything I did before was in vain."
Erica stared at Xiao Ran: "But as a member of Orb, you haven't thought about doing anything for this country?"
Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, then frowned and became silent.
