The first mission was successfully completed. It turned out that what Bing wanted to tell us was the pressure of killing innocent people. And the subsequent adjustments. Perhaps, as Bing said, there are things to do and things not to do. If we can keep our original intentions, I think we are qualified to continue to stand by his side. If we can't bear it, perhaps the final result is to become a murderous puppet in Bing's hands.

——Angel of Annihilation Ling
After a night's rest, I gathered the children and left the hotel at noon the next day. When we left, the bodies of the family had not been found yet. Maybe it would take some time for them to find them. But by then we had already left the town.

After coming out of the room, I observed the status of Taichi and Mary. I put them in a room alone yesterday to see how they would handle the state control after the mission. However, judging from their current appearance, they probably didn't do anything radical last night. They just washed up and went to bed. In fact, this is exactly what I want to see. Unlike Ling, Taichi and Mary are already 13 or 14 years old this year. They are older than Ling and I. In other words, they have entered the so-called puberty. Putting them together, on the one hand, they already know each other well, and on the other hand, it also forms a network of mutual comfort for them. But they did better than I thought. Maybe it has something to do with my training. At least from now on, the two children have no radical or rebellious behavior. This is a good thing. But Ling didn't think as much as I thought. As soon as we got on the return bus, she started asking the two people all kinds of questions. However, facing Ling's questions, although they blushed a little, they still answered them.

"Taiyi, Mary. Your situation is different from mine and Ling's. You are already fourteen or fifteen years old. It is normal to have a rebellious mentality after entering puberty, to have lustful feelings for the opposite sex, and to have physiological phenomena. This will also be a problem I will definitely encounter when I train you. So if you find that you have any abnormal situation, remember to tell me, and I will find a way to deal with it. Especially you, Mary, girls' first menstruation comes between the ages of twelve and sixteen, and I believe your menstruation should be coming soon. If it comes, you must tell me, and I will adjust your training." I said to the children sitting in the back seat while driving.

"Yes, Brother Bing." Mary's cheeks flushed.

"This is not something that is difficult to explain, but something that must be faced. I have said that I want you to trust me without reservation. Although it involves privacy, when it comes to matters such as life safety, we must make the most complete plan. So if it is a specific time, I will also ask about some private topics, and you must be mentally prepared at that time."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

By the way, Bing, you always talk about trust. What exactly should we do to gain your trust?
"Oh? That's a good question." I glanced at Ling, then turned my eyes back to the road. "After we go back, we will start the relevant training. The mole step will become a nine-square grid, that is, it will no longer be unilateral horizontally, but will become eight directions. After that, we will start training in resistance to blows, resistance to electricity, and patience, etc. These trainings will greatly wear down your will, especially during your rebellious period, which will have a great impact. This is a very severe test for you. Of course, that is the day after tomorrow. We still have one day to complete our mission. Do you want to go somewhere to play?"

"I, I! I want to go to Tokyo!" Ling was the first to raise her hand. Taiyi and Mary did not object, so at their insistence, I drove to Tokyo.

Happy times are always short, and a day of fun is also fleeting. When I took the children to eat a delicious meal in Tokyo, the sunset also lost its last ray of light on the other side of the horizon. At night, I drove back to the base with the children. This mission is officially over. After returning to the base, I settled the mission in the cafe. When I left with the children, I met Vermouth. When she saw that I had completed the mission with the children, the children still looked relaxed, she couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, but left without a word. I don't know what she was thinking.

I returned to my bedroom, said hello to Shizuka, told her to divide the things I brought back into two groups, one for her and the other for Shiho, and then I took a quick shower and went to bed. Unlike the children who rode in the car, I was the one driving the whole way, and to be honest, it took some energy out of me, plus I sleep much less than the children, so it was really necessary to catch up on some sleep.

When I woke up again the next day, the children had gathered in my room. It seemed that they were not affected too much by the task, which was a good thing. So, after having breakfast with the children, we started a new training.

"I won't say more about the Nine-square training, let me tell you about other training." I stood in front of the children and whispered. "Resistance training is different from your previous foundation. It is a means to help you improve your body's defense. The so-called hard qigong comes from this. Through the adjustment of breath and the beating of the body, long-term practice will eventually achieve the effect of a body as hard as a rock. Of course, it is impossible to be as hard as a rock. At least after being hit hard by the enemy, you will not lose your combat effectiveness."

"Bing, are you going to teach us this hard Qigong?" Ling's eyes sparkled. "Yes, you are all children, so there won't be too many obstacles if you practice together. But remember, the fundamental principle of practicing this hard Qigong is to take care of yourself first and not to damage your body's essence. For example, if something happened to Taiyi and Mary the night before yesterday, they wouldn't have the chance to practice now."

At this point, Taichi and Mari's cheeks turned red.

"H..." Ling complained with her crescent eyes.

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding, don't mind." I waved my hand to break the awkwardness. "The so-called hard qigong is actually not that amazing. It is actually the adjustment of breath and the training of the body. Before, your physical fitness has been well trained, so you will get started very quickly. First of all, you need to understand the breathing method, which is the nourishing of qi at the beginning of practice. The methods include smooth breathing, smooth abdomen, reverse abdomen, eating air, swallowing air, exhaling air, holding breath and other methods. I will give you these specific operations and processes in written form. You can go to my room to get them at night. After that, it is qi refining. This is a practice that takes up to a year, so don't rush. When you are familiar with nourishing qi after a few months, I will naturally lead you to start qi refining. After that, it is slapping. To put it bluntly, it is to resist hitting. Regarding this item, I will start with your qi refining. In addition to the fixed training every day, I will attack you from time to time. I will attack you when you eat, drink water, sleep, and even take a bath. This kind of reactive training can help you better master the use of breath."

"But Bing... you've said so much, what exactly is this intangible thing called aura?" Ling scratched her head in confusion. "Isn't that something that only exists in novels?"

"What you are talking about is the release of internal energy, right? That kind of thing does not exist. But there is control over the internal energy. However, rather than mastering the energy, it is more about the development of the body's potential and the refinement of the strength of the cells. It's like..." As I said that, I walked to Ling's side and stretched out my hand to pinch her face.

"Uh..." Ling's cheek was lifted up and she whimpered to protest my dissatisfaction with me using her as an example.

"Look, when I pinched your cheek, your cheek was lifted up easily." I explained. "But what if it's like this?" Before Ling could react, I raised my hand and slapped her abdomen with the back of my hand. Ling subconsciously bent back slightly, and at the same time, her abdomen was tight, resisting my blow.

"What are you doing..." Ling rubbed her belly in dissatisfaction.

"Look, when I pinched your cheek just now, it felt like I was pinching a piece of marshmallow, but why did it feel like I was hitting a tire when I hit your abdomen?"

"Of course." Ling rolled her eyes. "If I didn't tighten my abdomen, your hit would have hurt me! And pinching my face won't... eh?"

"Have you thought of it?" Seeing Ling was thinking, I began to wake her up. "That's right, when I hit your abdomen, your abdominal muscles became tense, so you were able to withstand this blow that was several times heavier than pinching your face. But why do you have to tighten your abdominal muscles? The face also has muscles, but why are the two different? The reason is simple. When I hit your abdomen, the cells in your abdominal muscles instantly increased their activation intensity. Although it is a muscle effect, in the final analysis, muscles are still composed of cells, and where does cell activation come from? Naturally, it comes from absorbing oxygen. So this is why you feel tired and want to breathe deeply when you tighten your abdomen for a long time. The so-called Qi training is to adjust your breathing in a way similar to hypnosis so that the exhaled oxygen can reach the muscle part where it wants to gather as quickly as possible. And slapping is to play a guiding role."

"...I didn't understand." Ling shook her head.

"To put it simply, just listen to my orders, lie down, and prepare to be beaten!"
