Arknights, the new kid Kevin no longer has to save the world

This is the standard meal for the official operators of the Tower of Babel. Although the food on the tray is not very rich, at least it will not be a problem to fill the stomach.

"Go over there."

Kevin's eyes as clear as the sky quickly locked onto a direction, or in other words, a "person".

Of course Avdoga would have no objection and followed Kevin towards there.

Pulling down his hood, the doctor ate quickly, planning to finish the meal quickly and then go back to work.

If Theresia and Kelsey hadn't banned the doctor from eating convenience foods these days, she wouldn't have had time to come here.

Suddenly, the doctor paused and raised his head. Two trays were placed opposite her.

Chapter 32 I wish to join the Tower of Babel

The doctor raised his head and glanced at these two... um... "uninvited guests"?

She remembered that she had met these two people when she reported to Theresia this morning, especially the look in this man's eyes, which left a deep impression on the doctor.

"Is there anyone in this position?"

Facing Afdojia's question, the doctor gently shook his head. Not many operators dared to sit and eat with her, and even fewer could strike up a conversation.

The two sat down, and Afdoja handled the food on the plate gracefully and without losing speed.

Kevin obviously didn't focus on eating. He looked at the doctor in front of him steadily, thinking about how to speak.

The doctor has short to medium white hair, light gray eyes full of plainness, and a neutral face that is still beautiful.

"you

, is 'human'? "

Kevin spoke slowly, and the word "human" seemed to stir up a ripple in the doctor's eyes, which was no longer so plain.

But this was more like a reflex reaction, and she was slightly startled.

"Humanity?"

"Yes, humans, me too, or are there still many people like you in this land?"

Kevin was a little confused, and he began to think about whether it was because he had not traveled enough.

"No, I haven't met one. If you mean someone who doesn't have the racial characteristics of other operators like me, oh no... there is one."

For the first time, the doctor said such a lot of words in a casual conversation. If other operators heard it, they would be shocked and exclaimed a miracle.

"Who?"

"you."

Kevin was rarely silent, but through the doctor's eyes, it was clear that she obviously did not mean to joke.

"There's something wrong with your eyes. Do you know my past?"

The doctor has no memory before the sarcophagus was opened. Her memory only stops after Kelsey dug it out.

Maybe the doctor can learn about his past from this strange man in front of him?

"No, we have never known each other before, until today."

The doctor's condition is very strange. Is it because he has lost his memory?

But no matter what, now, a living, pure human being is placed in front of the [Newborn]. There is no doubt that this is a temptation that he cannot refuse.

"I'm done eating."

The doctor pulled his hood back up, nodded to the two of them, and left.

Kevin was lost in thought. As the doctor said, it is possible that the remaining "human beings" in this world are already very few. As for whether there is a deeper secret after this?

This has nothing to do with Kevin, and he is not interested at all. The only thing he is interested in now is the "person" Doctor.

Perhaps, he needs more opportunities to get to know each other, rather than through a chance encounter in the cafeteria...

And it's not like he didn't think of a way.

"...Huh~, Mr. Kevin, please allow me to ask again, do you really want to join the Tower of Babel?"

Theresa originally wanted to go to Kevin to apologize for the offense to Dr. Warfarin, but unexpectedly the other party came to the door and made such a sudden request.

"Well, I guess there's nothing vague about my statement."

Kevin has always been the type to just do what comes to his mind, but this move was not without careful consideration.

"What's more, you should have a relatively free cooperative contract."

"Well, yes, of course the Tower of Babel has this kind of contract, but...please don't get me wrong. There is no doubt about your strength as you can fight side by side with Mr. Bozokasti. But before every operator joins the job, It needs to go through some testing, don’t you think?”

Theresia maintained a gentle smile as always, and even expressed the relatively unflattering term "testing strength" in more tactful language.

Regardless of whether he refuses or not, it really doesn’t make anyone feel bad at all.

"As it should be."

Kevin nodded, showing "value" is often a prerequisite for transactions, and he completely understood it.

......

"Why did you suddenly call us here? There haven't been any large-scale recruitment of new operators recently."

Antuo was a little strange.

"What's the use of asking me? I don't know either."

Touch couldn't help but rolled his eyes, even though Anto couldn't see it through the eyepiece.

Just now, Kelsey suddenly called them over, activated the test room and vacated a training room in advance, and she didn't know what she was going crazy about.

What?You say this is an order from Her Highness Theresia?Then Her Majesty Theresia must have some special considerations.

"Is there someone new joining?"

Coincidentally, Ace, Scout, and Sharp had just finished training for the day, and their training room was naturally requisitioned.

The three of them did not leave immediately, but stopped to see how this "new colleague" would perform.

"Well, I can only think of this possibility."

Ta-ta-

Following a burst of light footsteps, Theresia's figure appeared at the door. What was different from the past was that today, she was followed by a tall and handsome man with a plain look in his eyes like two pieces of ice.

"I'm sorry to take up everyone's time so late."

"No, no, no, your highness, don't say that. It's our honor to serve your highness~"

Antuo said while rubbing his hands, his flattering look making Touch roll his eyes even more.

"Your Highness, the testing room and training room have been vacated and can be tested at any time."

Touch said, gesturing towards the testing room behind which was designed to test the operator's abilities.

"Well, then, Mr. Kevin, you can go in. I wish you good results."

At this moment, Theresia felt as if she was the head teacher.

Kevin nodded and walked straight into the door without saying too much. It wasn't until the door closed that a film dressed in green came belatedly.

"Hey, Kelsey, are you here? You're late."

Antuo teased.

"In this land, lateness has a very broad meaning. In terms of the ultimate goal and current progress of this matter, my situation is not as you described."

Kelsey retorted with reason, which made Antuo feel a headache, but he still understood some of it:

"The test hasn't started yet, I'm not late."

Gee!

"Okay, Kelsey, haven't you seen that Antuo already has a headache? Let's take a look at Mr. Kevin's performance. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises."

Theresia chuckled and persuaded, drawing everyone's attention back to the glass window of the testing room in front of them.

------

Kevin looked around. It was a large laboratory-like place with various equipment and large rooms with partitions. At least from the looks of it, there was no doubt about the professionalism here.

Chapter 33 A little test

"Mr. Kevin, please enter training room No. [-]."

Touch's voice came from a speaker on the wall, and it was obvious that she would direct the test in this way.

Kevin quickly entered a sub-room numbered ①. He was already familiar with this kind of test, and he kept going back and forth in the same way.

"Next, your physical strength will be tested. Please hit the dynamometer in front of you with all your strength 20 times without using your Origin Stone skills."

Touch is very experienced and speaks very well. It is obviously not the first time he has conducted a test.

"Strike with full force?"

Kevin was slightly startled. Is this dynamometer made of soul steel?

"That's right, hit with all your strength."

She was a little confused, but she still answered Kevin's question.

"..."

Kevin did not take action immediately, but came to the side of the dynamometer and glanced at the maximum force limit marked on the nameplate.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Kevin, the dynamometer purchased by our Tower of Babel is the latest technology from Victoria. There is no need to worry about damage. It can withstand up to 5..."

Touch is not afraid of damaging the instrument. Since the purchase of this equipment, there has been no breakthrough in the limit.

But she hasn’t finished speaking yet——

call!Bang!

The air in the room suddenly tightened, and Kevin did not assume any power-charging posture. He punched the dynamometer in front of him, causing it to make a muffled sound similar to a mournful cry.

But even with such a casual posture, the trajectory of the punch was surrounded by something pale white that looked like an explosion cloud.

drop!The piercing beep sounded loudly, and the digital display screen of the dynamometer instantly reached a blood-red high value!

50t! ! !

Not one point more, not one point too little, it just stopped at the highest limit of this dynamometer. Even one more point may cause this machine to be scrapped directly.

"Is it enough?"

Kevin put his hand down from the dynamometer, and a deep fist mark was left on the target of the dynamometer, as if to illustrate how inhumanely it had been treated.

He had already controlled his power, and at least he thought he could help the Tower of Babel avoid these unnecessary losses.

As for Touch's "full strength", Kevin just thought she was joking and didn't take it to heart.

"Enough...enough."

Touch swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his pupils trembled slightly. Where did Her Royal Highness find a monster from? !

Fifty tons of punching power? !If you hit yourself, you'd probably be beaten into foam, right?Pureblood Wendigo, stop hiding and take off your human skin.

"hiss--"

The three elite operators who were watching couldn't help but gasp. This guy was simply not a human being.

They can accept that others are better than them, but is this too exaggerated?

Didn't you see that Dr. Kelsey, who was always calm next to you, had his eyebrows twitching?Theresia's eyes shone, and even more so

There was a trace of surprise hidden inside.

"Any other projects?"

Kevin asked calmly, crossing his arms.

"No...no more. Please move to the second training room."

Touch unconsciously used honorifics. In fact, the test of physical strength includes more aspects than just measuring strength, but this standard is only for ordinary people.
