Chapter 431: Cloudy

I'll admit, the Queen of Blades, or the cunning human agent Kerrigan, she's a genius, and the kind of genius who dares to joke with her own soul

After discovering that some kind of force even stranger than the Xiling Empire was subverting the entire Kproru Star Sector, she decisively split her mind and "placed" part of her mind into a "completely safe database", guess what that database is?

The whole Zerg

Queen of Blades has a plan to make the whole Zerg undergo a very strange evolution, she made each Zerg unit grow a neuroma in the body, this neuroma is very small, the function is even simple enough to produce innate reflexes, it seems to be useless for the combat race, but it is connected with the core nerve group of each Zerg, that nerve group is the racial characteristics of the Zerg, they use this thing to complete their own mental network, so that the entire race is in a state of mental control, In short, it's a biological radio network, and it's more powerful and incredibly fast: infinite speed.

I know that this is difficult to understand, the substantial transmission in the universe cannot exceed the speed of light, but the psychic connection of the Zerg is real-time, the Zerg master who is a light year away can control his army without time difference, and two Zerg brains hundreds of millions of kilometers apart can make a phone porridge without delay, and the phenomenon embodied during this period is like a quantum effect that makes human scientists feel incredible (although in the eyes of the Xiling people, this kind of delay-free communication is like a local telephone, of course, for the Zerg to evolve this communication organ, The Shooting scientists were also a little surprised).

Under the connection of this neural network, those specially evolved neuromas form a whole.

"That's my brain," said the Queen of Blades in a proud upward tone, "my spirit has been copied throughout the race, and all the Zerg have formed a huge brain that will think for me after I have completely lost myself, and a new master will never emerge, which is immortality in another sense - of course, at first this plan was only to fight against the one that has begun to erode my spirit." Revelation', but I didn't expect it to come in handy now, I can feel that my mind is imprisoned in this space, and then outside, another Queen of Blades must have been ghostly reborn and completely freed from the fate of slavery, this huge 'brain' is divided into tens of billions of individual thoughts, each of them does not possess any unique characteristics, and the 'Revelation' - does not have any effect on this joint thinking"

It's crazy, really.

"Okay, but the fact is that the Zerg are out of your control now, aren't they? The other one is Kerrigan, all she has is the memories and thought patterns that you had at the moment when you copied your own spirit, she can't listen to you, and now the ruler of the Zerg is no longer you. ”

Lilina said lightly, stimulating the spirit of the Queen of Blades in her own unique way, which was one of the rare personal interests of this nasty pseudo-Lori.

"No, it's still me," the Queen of Blades retorted indifferently, "that spiritual copy has a fatal psychological flaw, she has no concept of self, and only acts according to the code of conduct I have given her - this state of affairs will certainly not last forever, and one day my shadow will be aware of her own existence, but as long as I reappear before that moment comes, none of this will happen, according to the program I have set up, that shadow will merge unconditionally with my spirit, and the rule of the Zerg will still be in my hands." ”

"You're trying to regain your freedom this way." Lilina debunked the other party's plan on the spot.

The Queen of Blades did not deny it at all, nor was she surprised, before facing us, she chose to position the mysterious Hiling Apostle in an infinitely overestimated way, which is the reason why she can always remain calm: "That's right, this is mutually beneficial, maybe the strength of the Zerg can't fight against the Hiling Empire, but at least it can hurt you, if the Zerg can return to my control, this damage can be completely avoided - at least until you deal with the source of the 'revelation', we don't need to go to war." ”

She simply admitted the premise of the absolute opposition between the Zerg and the Apostle of Xiling, and then threw out an inconspicuous but palatable bait, this way of negotiation is really ...... It's very creative, because it happens between the hunter and the prey, and now the prey party is bargaining with the hunter, and what's even more amazing is that the prey has really found its own bargaining capital

I felt like I had fallen into a terrible loop, and Kerrigan had quite skilfully used his small but valuable advantage to do everything possible to expand what he could, even if it was just to survive for a few more days, and it was hard for us to refuse the other man's offer when we knew all this: first, it was really insignificant to us, and second, our plan had no intention of killing Kerrigan in the first place.

Forget it, let's wait until Tavir reverses Kerrigan, it's a big deal to be troublesome, and then we'll evaporate all the runaway Zerg, although that means we'll have to spend several times more effort than the original plan - but in fact, the war with the three interstellar tribes is already a lot more than the budget.

"Let's not discuss this yet," I scratched my hair, not knowing for a moment how to start a conversation with this former federal agent whose thinking was already very different from that of humans, so I decisively pushed a certain bearded uncle to the table, "What, you still know this uncle, right?" ”

"James? Renault, it's been a long time. ”

Completely devoid of the emotional fluctuations I expected, Kerrigan said as if he had met a passerby on the road who could barely remember his name, "I heard that you have sworn allegiance to the ruler of the Hiling Empire, it seems to be true, this time you really made the right choice, and now you will soon become the most powerful human ruler in the entire star sector - albeit a puppet." ”

Did it say in the original book that the Queen of Blades is still a brain toner?

But compared to Kerrigan's bland and even sarcastic, Uncle Reno's expression was full of excitement, the muscles on his face trembled violently due to violent mood swings, looking at his ex-girlfriend who had become a "monster" in front of him, and finally could only say a name: "Kerrigan ......"

"Cut, uncle, you're soaking."

Lilina on the side looked anxious for him, and simply shouted loudly behind her without any worries, and then flew up and kicked Uncle Renault to the ground and stumbled - it's a pity, I almost had a hug with Sister K, I said, uncle, can't you pretend to slip under your feet?

"Bubbles?" Kerrigan didn't care about Renault's embarrassment, but showed curiosity about the words spoken by the little girl in front of him, who seemed to be not low.

I quickly explained: "Well, that was our plan at the beginning, let Renault soak you, get married soon, and then our mission of maintaining peace in the universe will be completed...... Do you prefer a classical wedding or a modern one? I really have an imperial ** official running a wedding company, which hasn't opened for two months, but the quality of service is absolutely ...... Uh, what's that look on your face? ”

Kerrigan looked at me stunned, and then his expression distorted: "Are you insulting me again in this way?" ”

Again? Oh, the first time she said it might be......

Thinking of this, I turned my head slightly to look at Pandora, who was expressionless on the front and acted as a ceramic doll, it seemed that this guy used three thousand sledgehammers to smash the Queen of Blades and carry it back, noticing my gaze, Pandora not only was not a little embarrassed, but raised her head slightly and nodded at me gently.

"This girl is sometimes a little out of character......" I shrugged in tears.

Staring at us in a daze for a long time, Kerrigan sighed as if he had suddenly resigned himself to his fate: "I didn't expect you to ...... Your image is really beyond my expectations......"

"And what do you think I should be?" I looked at her amusedly, "In a hall covered with a cosmic star map, standing around me with a bunch of generals and stars on my shoulders, I stood there with a stick and gestured, and then the whole star map instantly began to change color around me?" ”

Kerrigan stared at me as if he were looking at a prehistoric creature, and nodded with a twisted expression.

"Alright, don't talk about these things," I finally got rid of the pointless topic, "now let's talk about the point—tell me everything you know, first of all, about the matter of revelation, I can see that you are affected differently from other races, it is an infinite number of times more intensified mind control, but it is carried out in the conscious state of the controlled, and to be honest, we also have a master of mind control here. ”

As I spoke, I tilted my head slightly and nodded to Sandora, who bared her teeth at me, a cute expression that made Kerrigan's jaw drop in surprise: the blonde girl had been speaking to herself with a queenly and supreme expression and tone of voice just a few seconds ago......

It's reminiscent of symptoms like schizophrenia—if the people of Shiling have the disease.

"To be honest, this kind of control is more of a suggestion than a control, and it's fundamentally different from my abilities, I explained to you...... Yes, forget it. ”

Hey, what do you mean by your sudden resignation-like expression, girl

Leaving the space cage, we began to plan the next move, and now the priority is to find the source of the so-called "revelation", according to the information of Kerrigan, that thing did not disappear at all, but in a more powerful but more subtle way hidden in the aborigines of the Kprustar Zone, it is generally subtle and soft, the effect is to make the mind of the easily controlled people produce a common tendency in the direction of the mind, and in extreme cases it will become quite tough, Directly use the method of mind control to deal with some strong people, such as the Queen of Blades - this should be the helpless move of the man behind the scenes, because as long as the conventional "revelation" can't affect Kerrigan, it is equivalent to not affecting any bug, and "it" The only option is to forcibly control the supreme commander of the Zerg, this control is obviously carried out in the conscious state of the controlled, just like the Queen of Blades, she is very clear about facing those huge planetary warships that can make a planet be "deleted" in a few minutes, How much of a Zerg army her own army could help, but she couldn't resist her thoughts.

However, although the Queen of Blades did not explain, Sandora guessed that this control is actually a strengthened version of the "trend force", but this trend is more forceful, which makes people feel that their spirit is controlled, and under its influence, the Queen of Blades still has some freedom of thought, as long as she can abide by a rule: against the Xiling Empire, she can do anything if she follows this direction, such as choosing to let herself be captured alive by us when fighting the Empire, and then get out of control.

To be honest, I was really relieved that this possibility was a big sigh of relief, of course, it was nothing for the ability of mind control to appear in my own girlfriend, but it would be too bad if the enemy was also a master of mind control.

In addition, according to the analysis of the expert Sandora, although the latter control method is obviously more effective, it does not seem to be easy to achieve, because it is currently confirmed that only Kairigan is affected by it, and she still has the opportunity to leave a way out for herself before being completely controlled, as for Protos, the "Protoss" is almost unaffected, which shows that Protos's powerful psychic power is quite effective in the process of fighting against the "Revelation", otherwise it is not only Tadalim's group of drug-addicted madmen who are fighting with us now, It's the whole race of Protos.

However, despite this conclusion, Zeratul hastily took us farewell, and after learning of the new variant of the threat of the "Revelation", he was very worried about his compatriots who remained in Shakulas, according to him, even the strongest warriors have a weakness in the soul, and the evil force will never miss an opportunity, he must inform his people of this news in advance and personally lead them to find out the truth, through the medium of Zeratul, The Protos survivors gathered in Shakulas and its surrounding planets have offered to help us find the source of the Revelation and assist us in our battles if necessary.

"Then it's time to change the actions of the starship formation," Sandora said to me lightly as she stared at the dark space of the Admiral of the Empire on a platform near outer space on the side wall of the Admiral, "The Empire's extreme deterrence may no longer be effective, and no matter what we do, neither humanity nor Tadalim will be able to wake up from the madness, but at least there is a good thing, the Zerg are no longer a threat - at least not for the time being." ”

I agree with Sandora that even if our starship sails directly to the human home planet, it is impossible for those humans who have been completely eroded by the "Revelation" to raise their hands and surrender, and the threat measures of the planetary fleet that were thought to work soon are now proving to be a waste, which really makes people feel like a punch on the cotton.

"Perhaps we should consider eliminating the vitality of Tadalim, the Protos lunatics are more dangerous than the fragile humans, who, according to the information provided by Kerrigan, are fanatics who are fiercely hostile to the Empire with little unscathed Revelation."

"Ah Jun, when will you be decisive?"

With a slightly surprised tone, Sandora turned to me and asked, her big blue eyes shimmering mischievously, and against the dark background of the universe, it was as if the brilliance of the stars had converged in those beautiful eyes—Sandora's eyes had always been the most intoxicating part of me, and that deep glow as the sea always calmed the most irritable minds.

"I think we've fallen into a trap from the beginning," I sighed, expressing my conjecture, "the bug appeared by such a coincidence - although it seemed like there were countless explanations for its appearance at the time, but now I really doubt how coincidental it must have been, that the Sniper Cannon could accurately teleport a carbon-based creature hundreds of light-years away when it collapsed, and that it wouldn't die in the hundred-light-year space jump, and then we went on a major expedition to the Kphoru Sector, If we look at it from the perspective of a bystander, this is almost our inevitable reaction after discovering a dangerous creature like the Zerg, followed by the first unpleasant contact with Mengsk and Tadalim, whose appearance is also full of coincidences, and even further, when the Forbidden World was saving the Earth, what chance do you think it would take for a fragment of a star ring that randomly jumps in the vast universe to take away an asteroid belt wrapped in the wreckage of human warplanes from the Kpru Star Sector? We're stuck in a quagmire here as if we're being led by the nose, and ......"

"And those star ring fragments were still transformed by the Abyssal Force—a transformation with intelligent traits," Sandora took my words, and then suddenly leaned over slightly, "I have long suspected it, and I can feel it, you understand it no later than I do...... Although usually you always look like you're eating and waiting to die. ”

Me: "...... It's a serious discussion."

"Okay, be serious" Sandora immediately laughed mischievously, then clasped her hands together, turned her head to look at the endless starry sky with a far-sighted look, "Then Ah Jun, do you know that the Dao of Lu is what countless civilizations were born in the Endless World Realm, but in the end, only the Xiling clan can develop to such a peak, and even step into the realm of gods?" ”

"For what?" Although I don't know why Dora suddenly changed the subject, I still asked very cooperatively.

"Because of our logical way...... Our mindset is predestined to fail to understand what 'failure' means, just as a computer receives an impossible command and does not realize that it will crash itself, but confidently falls into an endless loop, perhaps the analogy is not appropriate, but we are like this - we don't understand what 'failure' is, we only have one The concept of 'delayed success', for us, any situation, even death, only means that the final victory is postponed, which is why the development process of the Apostle of Xiling does not seem to have encountered the barriers of conventional civilization at all, because we don't know that there is something called a bottleneck in the development process of the original civilization......"

"The experience of a bunch of brainless tendons how to struggle to become gods." I shrugged my shoulders and summed it up in a high way, and then I was bitten hard by Sandora's pounce.

But to be honest, after listening to Sandora's confession to the entire Xiling race, I suddenly realized that I really should learn from these brainless tendons......
