Section 3: Trial
The time deviation of the black hole allows itself to travel to the postmodern Earth, a strange, cruel, harsh and wild Earth.
The desire to go home is getting stronger and stronger, but the chances are getting slimmer and slimmer.
Leaning against the cold walls, the heavy shackles, and the shackles of the spirit, I couldn't breathe.
In despair, I thought of my naughty son, my beautiful wife, my kind mother, and my dead father, and my heart was filled with infinite sorrow.
Father, the deep imprint of every boy.
Most boys grow up with their fathers as role models.
When I was young, I even felt that my father was a hero, sheltering me from growing up, and I aspired to be like my father, and this thought continued until the rebellious period.
A rebellious boy will have a dispute with his father, and an independent thinking boy will try to break through the life trajectory set for him by his father and constantly rebel against his father's will.
He often does things that his father thinks are deviant, so that the conflict escalates.
After the rebellious period, when the boy becomes a man, has his own family, has his own business, and the man becomes a father.
At this time, as his appearance became more and more similar to his father, his interests and hobbies gradually got closer.
What is even more rare is that the man realized the duties of his father back then, and only then did he show a sense of closeness to his father.
Mark slumped in a cold corner, aching as he remembered his father to soothe his depression and despair.
His father was a professional soldier, and his long military life meant that he was rarely at home.
Given his profession, he is calm and has a sense of justice.
He is kind to others, but he is extremely strict with himself.
Mark, who has been naughty since he was a child, has been blamed by his father a lot, especially when it comes to dealing with people.
Although his father and grandfather were both soldiers, and their low level of education made them simple and rude, he still hoped that his children would be well-rounded.
The rebellious self did not restrain himself until the death of his father.
inherited the bloodline of his father, and in order to find out the strange cause of his father's death, he was admitted to the military academy and joined the army, following his father's old path.
Thinking of this, Mark began to read the chip given by Captain Wilson.
In view of the rush of time, I have never had time to read, and now that I have been reduced to a prisoner, I have a lot of time, and I feel that fate is so tricky.
My father's experience came to life like a movie.
After searching for a long time, I have not found any memories of my father before his death, and it seems that someone deliberately deleted them.
However, Mark learned a lot from his father's knowledge and experience, especially military tactics, strategy, fighting skills, and the knowledge of science and technology.
A large amount of information fills the brain, so that in order not to become mentally abnormal due to the huge amount of information, Mark no longer reads memories.
When you close your eyes, your mood calms down.
Slowly organize your father's experiences and transform them into experiences that you can provide for yourself.
The silent prison was cold and dim, and in the dull breath, only the one-eyed old lizard was gasping for breath, and its voice leaked like an old bellows.
I don't know how long it took for the cell door to be opened.
A group of vicious jailers took Mark into custody again.
When fate can't resist, you have to go along with it.
As before, Mark's head was covered by a black cloth bag, and he had to follow the chains pulled by the guards to determine his direction.
After stumbling away for a long time, the noisy sound rang in my ears.
From the whispers and shouts from the side, it was speculated that there must have been many onlookers talking about themselves along the way, and I didn't know if these were human or humanoid.
The guards were slackened before Mark could stop.
The sound of the heavy door opening is very special and easy to tell.
The tall and wide staircase made Mark stumble and almost fall, but fortunately the carpet was heavy and extremely soft.
The place was so luxuriously decorated that there was carpeting, Mark thought to himself.
After walking like this for nearly a quarter of an hour, he was pushed the back.
The force was so great that Mark almost fell and fell to his knees.
After stumbling and shaking his body, he struggled to balance his body and stand firmly.
"Whew! ~”
The hood was snapped off, and the glare was blinding.
Fresh air fills his lungs, and Mark is shocked.
After getting used to the surroundings, you will see a large hall.
On either side of the hall stood a line of soldiers.
All the soldiers were neatly armed, their expressions were the same, solemn and solemn.
The swords and halberds are lined up, and they are gloomy and glowing with cold light.
At the end, there are two rows of stone benches.
On the stone bench sat some old lizards dressed in fancy costumes.
Judging by their appearance, they should belong to a member of parliament or an elder.
A huge throne sits in the center of the staircase, overlooking the entire hall.
The throne is exquisitely carved and has a gilt surface inlaid with luxurious jewels, complemented by precious metal embellishments.
From a distance, the two sides are embossed and decorated.
The content of the relief is too far to be recognized.
A tall, seemingly extremely strong young lizardman is embedded in the throne.
Giant lizardmen with a crown on their heads, supported by their elbows on their armrests.
The huge palm supported half of the face, and he squinted. He stared at Mark with brown eyes.
Surrounded by three human women.
A person on the left, holding a food plate, seems to be serving a large lizard with delicate food.
The one on the right is clinging to the side of the big lizard, and the feather fan in his hand is gently swinging, and the soft breeze is gently sent, lest the force will blow people away.
The man in the middle, lying on his side in the arms of the big lizard, seems to be trying to serve food.
In the distance, a lizardman dressed in fine clothes, with a slender body and slender limbs, stood.
This man is dressed in splendid clothes and full of jewels. Even if Mark has seen a wide range of things, it is dazzling and dazzling.
Unlike many lizardmen, its elongated eyes are constantly glancing at itself, and its bones are rolling straight away.
Seeing that the prisoner did not kneel, the jailer became angry and stepped forward.
Suddenly, he kicked him in the calf, trying to force him to comply.
Under its heavy combo, Mark was unguarded, staggered, and almost fell.
The pain was as intense as fire, piercing the back of the head.
Such atrocities made Mark angry.
Let the bullying and insist on not kneeling!
Realizing that the effect was not good, the jailer swung the iron rod and slammed it down on the back.
Unfortunately, the prisoner was on guard and turned sideways to avoid it.
After dodging the attack, the jailer was weightless, stumbling and falling.
The jailer missed the blow, his face was purple, and he gritted his teeth, wanting to kill the killer.
"Presumptuous!"
With a scolding, the jailer was deflated like a ball, and he retreated to the side.
"Bold slave! Don't kneel down when you see the king? ”
The slender lizardman retreated from the jailer, his small eyes narrowed, and he pulled his throat and said in a strange tone.
"Humph!" At the scolding of the slender lizardman, Mark scoffed at him.
With his head held high, he said aloud: "If you want to win the respect of others, you must first know how to respect others." ”
"The King? Slave? You treat men as slaves, and how can I recognize you as king? Mark snorted.
"You, you ......"
The slender lizardman was speechless for a moment, his eyes rolling, and he paused slightly.
After thinking about the logic of the other party's speech, he pointed to the arrogant prisoner in front of him and shouted: "Human beings are born weak and slaves, if they are not slaves and are not weak, why should they still be attached to us and willing to be enslaved by us?" ”
As it spoke, the lizard put its hand into the maid's arms and stroked it vigorously, its eyes still fixed on the "slave" below.
Such an unsightly and ugly act made Mark like a slug swallowing a slug, and he was extremely disgusted.
The lizard's reception of Mark in an insulting way for a human woman is an endless provocation to his slave status!
"Look at it, being humiliated by us, still enjoying it. Isn't this willing? Seeing this, the slender lizardman smiled and taunted Mark as a victor. Only the big lizard was unmoved.
Unable to stop this dirty and humiliating scene, Mark squinted at the big lizard and scolded: "If there are no human beings, how can you be so shameless? Strong enemies and foreign insults, civil strife continues, and at best they are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, not to mention the roots? Human beings are like siblings, but you openly insult your sisters in the court? In this way, what is the intention? ”
The words are sharp, and the sentences are into the wood, like a knife cutting at the hearts of everyone.
The elders present were aroused to talk about each other.
The big lizard's body shook, pushed the maid away, and stood suddenly, as if he was extremely angry with Mark's scolding.
Several of the guards appeared, blessed with axes, and spears reached the vital point.
With just a slight flick of the big lizard's fingers, the guards did not hesitate to pierce Mark's chest, and blood splattered in three steps!
Seeing this, the slender lizardman took the opportunity to beat the water dog: "Stinky slave, look for death!" ”
At its motion, more guards joined the ranks.
The sword pressed against the neck, and blood slowly oozed along the edge. The guards watched, waiting for final instructions.
Mark silently closed his eyes and sighed......
After a dead silence, the lizard sat back in a majestic seat, and waved the maid to retreat.
The three maids felt embarrassed by the scene, covered the key parts with their hands, and flew away in panic.
Perhaps his words had an effect, Mark thought to himself:
The Lizard King has a good IQ, and he wanted to humiliate me with this, but he never wanted to be self-defeating.
In addition to being angry, he can still restrain himself, which is also very human.
It's just that the lizard king didn't say a word from beginning to end, but his eyes never left his body, his face was cloudy, and his mind was difficult to figure out, so he might as well act with a camera.
After a long time, it finally spoke, and its voice was thick and soft, revealing the sturdiness of its body.
"Outsider, you don't belong to Kansas. For this reason, I will not bother with you about these trivial matters. But your life is in my hands, and with a wave of my hand, your head will fall to the ground, aren't you afraid? ”
Seeing that its attitude improved slightly, Mark naturally humbled three points.
The rhetoric about it was loosened, and then the practice of beating snakes with sticks was carried forward.
"Your Majesty. For me, who has experienced life and death, life or death is insignificant. Although you are bullying humans, you are also defending against foreign enemies, which is theoretically credited. ”
Mark paused for a moment, and then swept the crowd away, and found that there was an uproar.
The Lizard King changed his seat, straightened his body, sat upright in the throne, and listened.
"I have no right to question your authority, but my ways." Mark Lang.
Hearing this, the Lizard King's face turned slightly stunned, and he rubbed his jaw, as if to hide his embarrassment.
"Yes, we humans are dependent on you, and we have survived to this day. He has not shed blood and died on the frontal battlefield, but he has also provided you with supplies and ordnance. If you treat life as a mustard, you are actually weakening your own strength. ”
"Presumptuous! You shameless! ”
Mark's remarks immediately caused a commotion, and a group of elders immediately sprang up to refute the view.
What's more, he jumped out and pointed at Mark's nose and asked to his face: "Stinky slave!" Your Majesty has tolerated your presumptuous and ignorant nature, and do not think that Your Majesty's mercy has made you arrogant. ”
"It is an unchangeable fact that human beings have always been lowly and humble. Natural selection, survival of the fittest, the inferior breed of human beings will eventually be ruthlessly eliminated. ”
"With your meager strength, you can't resist the blows of the Mech Legion, so you can only huddle under our umbrella to survive. Without our bloody struggle, you wouldn't have died even the scum! ”
Mark closed his eyes and shook his head, not wanting to debate with them about which was better or worse, which was stronger and which was weaker, and which was right and which was wrong.
Trying to shift the focus to the argument of how to fight the mechanical legion, it will be more interesting and more appealing to the Lizard King.
So he cleared his throat, his eyes wandered, and then he said, "It is true that human beings do have many weaknesses. Selfishness, greed, laziness, deceit, cunning......"
"At the same time, there are many advantages to human beings. Selfless, hardworking, kind, upright......"
"These personalities are not absolute, but can be transformed into each other."
"Humans have created robots and developed them to the extreme, even superior to humans in some ways, just like you."
"It is undeniable that both the Mechanical Legion and you are powerful, and without the continuous support and research and development of human technology, you will all stagnate and no longer develop."
The voice is not loud, it is definitely high-pitched and powerful.
In order to hear more clearly, the Lizard King motioned for the lizardmen to be quiet.
Seeing this, Mark held his chest high and said: "There are two sides to everything, there is no absolute good, there is no absolute bad, and it will not be shown in a flawless way. Humans too, robots too, and so do you. ”
In other words, it's not worth throwing a damn lizardman.
"Everything has advantages and disadvantages. If we compare the advantages alone, we can't tell which is better than the other, and such disputes are endless and meaningless. Mark turned slightly to the Lizard King.
"Be good at discovering your own strengths and weaknesses, the strengths and weaknesses of others, and use your own strengths to defeat the shortcomings of others, so that you can overcome others. For example, defeat the Mechanical Legion. ”
At this point, Mark stopped looking around and bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty! The humans you rule now are not as smart as the scientists who made the robots and made you, but nothing is absolute. Only by uniting with each other can it be possible to completely defeat the mechanical legion. ”
The prisoner's ambiguous rhetoric was as unrealistic as the imagination of some of the lizard elders, and it was as unrealistic as if it were stuck in their throats.
Above the main hall, more lizard elders jumped and scolded: "Fallacy! Fallacious reasoning! Drag this thug out and put him to death! ”
The crowd was surging, and the rebukes were endless.
Some of the elders were so angry that they picked up the food on the table and threw it at it.
In order to calm the chaos, the Lizard King motioned for the guards to escort the people away.
