Volume Five, 12: The Infected

"Okay gentlemen, let's open the skylight and say something bright, I think everyone should know in their hearts that there is no confusion of banshees, this kind of thing is a complete lie, because we have checked all the Federation planet information before the outbreak of the Zerg, there is no such thing that can seduce any non-intelligent creatures, this is actually your fabrication, in order to cover up the special abilities that some people have"

In a slightly larger closed room, an old man led by a colonel led a group of middle and senior officers, sitting high on the back row of the staircase, in front of which were a few lonely chairs, placed in the middle of the house, not only looked very empty, but also had to tilt their heads to see their expressions, sitting on it was Kenan and the others who were being questioned.

"Sir, I don't know what you're talking about, of course the Banshee Confusion exists, otherwise how did that brute beast come about, and more than a hundred soldiers who are still alive can testify, I think the more likely reason may be that someone is deliberately blocking the news of the Banshee Confusion, maybe it's because of that magical function, maybe it's just because I don't want this kind of thing to appear on the battlefield." Kenan and the others skipped a beat in their hearts, and secretly said that they were in trouble, but the tone of their words did not change at all, and it was still the same as usual.

According to their original thoughts, they were forced to use the immortal prop of [Tang Seng's Meat Fragrance], and Chen Xi, who was facing the brute beast head-on, was naturally dead, and then, they would inadvertently have a little accident when dealing with the dangerous brute beast, and some righteous and awe-inspiring brave people would sacrifice their lives to drag the brute beast for the survival of others. Create opportunities for them.

The subsequent development can be said to be a great joy for all.

Only they managed to survive and lead a new group of people in the form of declining soldiers to start a rebellion against the stupid fleet higher-ups.

But obviously, the script didn't play out according to this, not only did Chen Xi surprisingly survive, but then did so many things that they alarmed the top of the fleet, so that the secret they wanted to keep was known to almost everyone on the Space Prison.

Can you seduce any non-sapient beings?

What are you kidding, if there really is such a thing, the Federation must be crazy to study its principles and ingredients, and then draw the mass manufacture of the gourd in the same way. Used on the battlefield with the Zerg.

It's no wonder that this group of fleet leaders wants to ask for clarification. I have never heard of something that has such a huge effect until now, and no one can bear it.

Even Kennan was suspicious of what investigation of Chen Xi. to confirm his merits. Obviously trying to find a breakthrough from them. It is necessary to figure out what the [Banshee's Confusion] is, where it is produced, and whether there is a large amount of inventory.

If you can get your hands on this kind of thing. It is estimated that the top brass of this fleet will not need to continue this operation to find allies, and they can turn around and return to the Federation. But the problem is that this is a situation that they want to try their best to avoid, which will not only affect the mission and make the plot collapse to the point where it cannot be developed, but also cause them to become the target of public criticism, and have no freedom.

However, they can't completely deny it, because even fools know the way, and to justify a thing whose result and process have already been known to most people will only show that they have a ghost in their hearts, and even if there is no problem, they will become problematic, and thus they will be imprisoned as suspicious elements by these people.

It's better to just admit it, hang up the hopes of these natives, and not treat them casually as cannon fodder.

"Tell me, then, where did you get this kind of thing? And why is it only used in this operation? ”

The problem continued, and the interrogators repeatedly asked what they felt was suspicious about the [Banshee's Confusion].

The process was asked for a long time, but fortunately, they had been well prepared before they came, and they did not worry about being seen by these people about the confession and the content to be stated, but felt that they really did not know why this huge thing had not been used by the Federation.

"It seems that even within the military, the Federation is hiding a lot from us"

Finally, after the old man at the head sighed and said such a sentence, the questioning came to an end for the time being, and the interrogators on the stairs left in twos and threes, and the lowest rank naturally had to wait until the last to leave.

"I don't know how much more this process is, but this time it's finally overcome" Kenan thought depressedly in his heart, this kind of trouble is to blame for Chen Xi's bastard, if it weren't for his eye-catching performance, this group of fleet leaders would not have paid attention to spending a lot of effort to figure out the authenticity of the so-called [Banshee's Confusion], not to get enough credit through this thing.

But just when they breathed a sigh of relief, a sudden change occurred.

As the last few people got up, a ring suddenly appeared on the ground and ceiling around them, and they were trapped in the opposite position.

In the process, with their strength, they were naturally able to leave before the closure, but considering that this might be a temptation, everyone did not act rashly, but secretly they all adjusted their vigilance to the highest in their hearts, and if danger appeared, they must burst out as soon as possible.

"Everyone else is gone, and I think we can talk openly." The old colonel, who was the leader, came over with the rest of the people and said.

"What do you want to do?" Looking at these people who walked in front of the multi-layered shield, Kennan was a little suspicious, and from the strange smiles they showed, he seemed to have a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

"We need to verify if you're lying." When the old man said this, the smile on his face became more and more incomprehensible.

"It's necessary to make it so cumbersome, haven't you used it before? The polygraph instruments have checked that we are not lying" Comoros did not notice the strange expressions of these people, thinking that it was the same as the previous treatment, and couldn't help but say impatiently, for evolutionists, the effect of this kind of thing is obviously too weak.

However, there was no waiting for the Comoros to finish speaking. The few of them were frightened, because instead of a lie detector device, five fat bugs were bouncing around, dark green, the size of a baby's fist, surrounded by translucent light brown filaments, and writhing as they were caught on the mechanical arm.

"What is this?" Kennan's premonition of bad luck grew stronger, and he finally understood what the strange smiles on the faces of these people meant, as if they were looking at the kind of malice of a lamb to the slaughter.

"Don't ask anything, swallow it alive" saw the hesitation on the faces of Kenan and the others. The old man tapped the shield lightly. The tone was smug and despicable, "Or after you were unconscious, I let them crawl into your mouths, and these shields in front of your eyes are the existence that can resist the impact of the brute beast for a short time. The inner layer is also infused with a warp force field generated by the warp engine. Just fill it with nerve anesthetic gas. Don't think you have a chance to escape. ”

As soon as the words fell, Kennan's thought of resisting suddenly stopped, but it was not because of the old man's words. Rather, it is a system prompt that rings and a teammate on the team who has the ability to teleport to say to him.

[Note: If you come into contact with the conspiracy of the Zerg - the cultivation of human rape, after successfully passing into a brain-controlled worm, you will get changes in conditions such as factions and mission objectives, and you will be informed of new mission clues at that time].

"Captain, the system prompts that since this place is connected to the warp engine, it will be extremely dangerous to teleport in space."

The cruel reality made them endure the nausea and depression in their hearts, open their mouths, and put these bugs in their mouths.

Before he got in, these green fat insects writhed their slippery bodies and went straight into his brain, Kennan felt as if his head had been broken, and then his brain opened, and a series of strange thoughts appeared in his consciousness, some of which he had clearly thought about, and some of which seemed to be completely unimpressed, all of which became active in his memory.

"Don't be nervous, this is the infected person using the mind to connect your brain, read the deep consciousness, and when you get used to it, it will be fine." The old colonel outside explained.

And after completing the process, all five of them heard a prompt.

[Note: You have completed the transformation of the brain control worm, and have established a secret connection with the brain worm and the master, and your consciousness will be partially affected by them, and the original morality and values and self-perception will have a certain deviation At the same time, thanks to the infected's auxiliary control ability over your body, your strength and agility attributes will increase by 2, 3, and 4 points respectively during this time, and the mental attributes will increase by 4 points due to the infected's mental ability].

[Warning: Since this part of the consciousness influence is permanent, after the mission, it is recommended that the evolutionary receive professional psychological counseling to correct the distorted three views and personal cognition In addition, if it is found that the evolutionary has a tendency to forcibly break free from the control of the Zerg, the infected will produce a deadly toxin while self-destructing, so please control your behavior carefully].

"Will this be discovered?" Kenan didn't care about what the system prompted and asked someone outside about the most important question at the moment. As an evolutionary, he easily adapts to this shift in identity.

"What do you think?" The old colonel had obviously been affected by this consciousness, and he was not ashamed but proudly explained, "You should know the truth when you see us standing here, and there is no need to worry about it, in fact, these infected people can disguise themselves as living tissues that are indistinguishable from brains, blocking out the detection methods known to humans, and no one will ever find your anomaly." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Kenan, who was slightly surprised, with a flat face. The colonel felt that the performance of these people was really enough to impress them, and they were able to regain their calm so quickly, knowing that for a period of time after the initial transformation, they were all going to die or live for a while, if it weren't for the invated's mental ability to be strong enough to take over the control of their bodies, many people would have committed suicide.

Of course, after the in-depth knowledge of the greatness of the master, they deeply regretted that they had not become the servant of the master earlier, and contributed their lives to the great idea of the Zerg to clean the universe.

"Why don't you ask?" After Kenan and the others felt the state of their bodies, they were surprised to see that the closed shield was opened, and they couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"No longer necessary, after the infected have successfully linked to your brain, all your memories have been fully received by the master and associated brain worms, who will determine whether what you know is a threat to us." The old colonel replied.

Hearing the colonel's old man say this, Kennan suddenly realized. It's just a moment of relief, and they don't need to think about what seems to be a lie, and it's all up to the evolutionary system to take over.

Seeing the disapproving expressions of the five people, the old colonel had a misunderstanding, and he preached for the newcomer with a fanatical face: "There is no doubt that this is the greatness of the master, although we are all lowly servants under its control, we have an independent will, a perfect family under the protection of God, and when we encounter other inferior bugs. You will be able to experience this wonderful feeling. It's like being able to feel every bit of their joy, sorrow, and sorrow. ”

"Well, I see, but we're more concerned about it now, what's next?" Kennan was a little uncomfortable with this fanatical state of mind. It's like it's messing around. He was a little worried about whether he and others would become this kind of brainwashed madness in the future. I feel panicked.

"I have to say, you should be able to please the master and the brain worm before the transformation is completed. Just thinking about the task. The old colonel didn't know what Kenan and the others were thinking, and while envious, he explained to them in detail, "Rest assured, the purpose of this operation is very simple, it is to sabotage the operation of the Human Federation and prevent them from uniting with the group of bereaved dogs, what we did on Planet Tifa before was for this, weakening their strength, and then taking this opportunity to transform more of our companions." ”

"Our manpower is still relatively small, only half of the high-ranking officers are our people, and the middle-level officers are less than one-tenth, so in order to achieve the ultimate goal, it is the best way to completely control this strategic cruiser." The old colonel explained their current situation again.

Kenan's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "What about Chen Fala, has he been transformed by you?" ”

Without waiting for the old colonel to reply, he said sharply: "If not, we want to exclude this man, he is our enemy, and we do not like to be a companion with such a person." ”

"I have to say that you mentioned it in a timely manner, just after you, he should be inquired about, but whether it is transformed or not depends on the meaning of the master and the brain worm, this is not something we can decide." The old colonel nodded and shook his head.

Obviously, the power to determine their choice of action can only be given by their "gods."

……

Chen Xi noticed the environment here as soon as he came in.

A single chair is placed in the middle, with a high staircase in front of it, and one must look up to see the face above, apparently to create a sense of condescending scrutiny, and to give the person being questioned a sense of awe and pressure.

Of course, there is also a part of the possibility that it is to highlight the sense of superiority. Sometimes that's how confidence comes from. Sitting in a high position, looking at others with disdain, even his mouth became neat.

"Chen Falah, we have a few questions to answer about your process on Planet Tifa, and I hope you can guarantee that every sentence is true and credible, without any fabricated parts." The colonel, who was the leader, said to the manuscript according to the script, and they would list the things they wanted to understand in advance and make a good draft.

"No problem, you ask." Chen Xi said indifferently, he has always been very confident in how to make up a lie into the truth.

"Did you get the Banshee's Confusion that can attract the attention of the Zerg and let them temporarily escape the control of the brain worm?" As he spoke, the Colonel flipped to the confessions of the people in front of him, pointed to some of the sentences and asked, "At that time, why did you make this risky choice to be a bait?" According to the testimony of those who came before, Kennan and these people clearly had bad intentions."

For Chen Xi's choice at that time, the colonel was actually very unimpressed, a criminal who was still serving a prison sentence actually behaved so "tall", it was incredible, the most common way should not be to use [Banshee Confusion], then run back with the brute beast, and pull his teammates to die together.

This is also the main reason why he quickly believed in the Lord and became its most faithful servant after becoming a brain control worm man. Compared to the Zerg who can sacrifice themselves at any time for the same goal, the human mind is too dirty and low-level, and there is no discipline that a group race should have.

But obviously, the colonel had not seen Brother Chen's unique acting skills, and was destined to be surprised. Pretending to be a good person, he is the best.

"Yes, the things are provided by them, and the purpose is also to make sacrifices for me and the other three people to create a safe chance for them, but I feel that as a warrior on the battlefield, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and I made this decision when I understood that if I had a certain chance of surviving against the brute beasts, I made this decision, because if I were to change them, the success rate was very small." Chen Xi said sincerely, with an unusually correct attitude.

The colonel was a little unaccustomed to adjusting the posture of sitting, straightening his waist and making himself sit in a higher position, Chen Xi's answer made him feel very awkward: "The second question, why would he rush to another battlefield immediately after getting rid of the self-explosion of the lice?" At that time, you were not aware of the situation on the battlefield in the Crystal Building, and it was likely that it would be very dangerous. ”

Faced with the colonel's questioning, Chen Xi changed his lyrical expression this time: "I think the fairest thing in life is that everyone will die, but the difference is that everyone's life will affect many people, some are so heavy that they will remember them for a lifetime, and some will just forget after a day, what I hope is the former." ”

"Uh" Colonel subconsciously loosened the tie on his formal suit, and he felt a lot of pressure in his heart towards Chen Xi now: "Don't you have any regrets and hesitations?" For example, if you are worried that someone else will leave you alone after attracting the bugs, or that you are resentful of the people who are directing the operation this time, you will not be in danger if it were not for their fault. ”

"I agree with a sentence: the value of a person is not what others do for you, but what you have done So, when I do something, I never like to care about other people's opinions, no matter what they do, it is their choice, I just need to concentrate on my own things."

"And I know that there are many things and people in life that we always don't want to see, but often they will always appear in front of our eyes and become difficult to get rid of, and at this time, the most important thing we should do is not to resentment and curse, but to believe that it will always pass, just like the mistakes made, in fact, after thinking about it overnight, it doesn't feel so bad."

Chen Xi said, his deep gaze seemed to penetrate something intangible, and in the eyes of everyone on the stairs, this way of looking up felt like looking down on them from a very high position, making them feel ashamed Even if it was not the action they arranged, they did not object.

Especially with a middle- and high-ranking officer like the colonel, who has become a brain-controlled worm person, he unconsciously took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

This kind of invisible attack on the mind is really unbearable for them (to be continued......
