Chapter 150: When the Curtain Lifts
This time, when the No. 4 holographic projection training room opened, nearly half of the commanders gathered around the door, but Gong Piqing didn't see this scene, because he suffered a rather serious fatal injury at the end of the training - he fell from a height of several hundred meters, and he was still in the most basic human body.
It was this wave of heavy injuries that made him faint directly from the training, which also means that he died in training, because the fatal injury in training can be converted into a real dizziness, but even so, he also got the highest rating he has ever received: SSS!
Although the commanders all smiled and watched Gong Piqing being carried into the medical department, they still returned to the headquarters as soon as they were carried away, because until today, they finally saw the other side of Gong Piqing - the side that did not belong to his own "World Tree".
From the time when Gong Piqing incarnated into the world-destroying black dragon Nidhogg in training, there was an instant exclamation from the entire Mill Research Institute, this is the first time Gong Piqing has summoned things from mythology to reality, and these things he made are more and more outrageous every time, not to mention that this time he summoned Nidhogg who is actually the incarnation of himself!
If the Spear of Victory he summoned before has nothing to do with his own code name "World Tree", then the Nidhogg he incarnated this time can be said to be the mortal enemy of the World Tree in Norse mythology, when this black dragon that eats the roots of the World Tree all day long eats the World Tree and withers, it will bring the advent of "Ragnarok", and the world will usher in the end, but even if he can summon something from the myth, how can he incarnate himself as his mortal enemy? It's like an Ultraman, even if you can go back and forth between Ultraman and humans, you can turn into a monster?
It's just that when the commanders discussed all the way back to the headquarters, the silver-haired old man had changed into a smart black suit and sat at the end of the conference table, as if he was waiting for them on purpose.
He is the general person in charge of Gong Piqing's "gene enhancement project team", and he is also one of the super veterans who personally formulated the "World Tree" plan back then, but today, when Gong Piqing created another miracle, he sat in the headquarters and did not go out to watch the excitement, and everyone could see that he had something in his heart.
"Call everybody, I'm going to have a meeting with everybody." The silver-haired old man said calmly, sitting precariously like an elderly samurai, with a hint of powerful aura invisibly.
A few minutes later, the heads of the other three departments, along with the commanders of each department, all arrived, because the silver-haired old man's call was a big deal for them.
"Brother called us here today, but do you want to commend the World Tree for today's feats? It's really exciting, I don't think there has been such a miracle since the establishment of our Mill Institute, and we can make a blockbuster! One of the Ghost Commanders said as he looked at the old man at the end of the table.
But what is puzzling is that there is no smile on the old man's face, and the whole person is so quiet that it is frightening.
"I think my brother is going to talk to us...... The World Tree has released another skill outside of his skill tree. The head of the Hades group said quietly.
As soon as these words came out, the commanders all fell silent, in fact, not only them, but the entire research institute was wondering how Gong Piqing became Nidhogg, and the silver-haired old man summoned all the commanders today, just to answer the question in their hearts.
"Regarding our World Tree, I think it's time to tell you some secrets, but I want you to keep it a top secret, because it's a matter of our success or failure." The silver-haired old man spoke, word by word, and said slowly.
"If it's really about success or failure, can you not say it or don't say it, we have been preparing for this victory for more than ten years, and we deleted the word failure from the dictionary of the Mill Institute more than ten years ago." said the head of the Gaia group.
"But don't you want to know why he can use skills outside of his skill tree?" The silver-haired old man then asked.
"Actually, you already knew, didn't you? It's just that today he used this skill again in front of all of us, and you feel that you can't hide it, so you want to use this method to tell us, although you said that this matter is related to our success or failure, but in fact, we will all guess in our hearts, this is actually the reason why his mental illness has not been cured for a long time, right, you have always known about it, and even I think that the queen he shouted before is you, right, brother? The head of the Gaia group looked at the silver-haired old man and said.
The silver-haired old man smiled helplessly, "Look, I know that you still want to know, yes, I just looked like I couldn't hide it today, so I want to tell you, you also want to know, if I say that today's matter is related to our success or failure and just don't say it, I'm afraid you can hold back something in your hearts, right?" Now I'm going to tell you the facts, and some people say that for the sake of our victory, I should not say it? β
This time, the entire conference room fell silent, they all thought that they had seen through the silver-haired old man's thoughts, but they didn't expect that the silver-haired old man had gone one step more than them, and he had already seen through their thoughts in reverse.
"Don't worry, everyone, I know that even if I don't say it today, you will discuss it in private, that would be too cruel to our World Tree, wouldn't it? He's just working so hard in our training, and when the final battle comes, he'll definitely be our best fighter, right? However, I won't reveal all his secrets today, let's stop here, I'll help you answer the doubts in your heart, and you don't wake up to find that the whole research institute is discussing what he is, okay? Ladies and gentlemen. After the silver-haired old man finished speaking, his gaze slowly swept over each member of the meeting, and there was no expectation in his eyes, but he was as calm as water.
"I promised that when the meeting was dismissed, I would send a notice to all the departments below me to shut up." The head of the Hades group said.
"Me too, keep it a secret for my brother." The head of the Ghost Team said.
Gradually, every commander made a statement, and after seeing that there was no exception, a smile finally appeared on the tense face of the silver-haired old man, "Then I will say straight to the point, there is indeed another person living in the body of the World Tree, but that person is still himself." β
As soon as these words came out, a trace of doubt appeared on the faces of most of the people at the conference table.
"What do you mean? Fine? β
"That's probably what it means." The silver-haired old man nodded, "The accident many years ago hit his brain hard, which can be understood as smashing him out of another personality, one of his two personalities retains his memories before he suffered from mental illness, that is, the memories of when he was with us, but his personality is hidden like a recessive gene, and it is almost impossible to actively trigger except for specific occasions; The other personality is his psychotic side, which is the World Tree that everyone sees now. β
"For this personality, his life began in Xiguan Renai Mental Hospital, which is why, after we first sent him to Xiguan Renai, the diagnosis and treatment records would say that he tried to call a male doctor mother, because that was indeed the beginning of his memory, and the personality that carried his previous memories had been hidden by him in the deepest and deepest place."
"But as time goes by, the two independent personalities in his body gradually become connected, and I had a conversation with the one with the recessive gene the other day, and he also explained it to me, which is why the World Tree in our eyes is like two people, very stupid and naΓ―ve when they are mentally ill, but sometimes they are terrifyingly cold, and this is the sovereignty of his two personalities switching to control the body."
"If that's the case, then a lot of the problems over the years will really be solved." The head of the Hades group said with understanding, "The hidden personality is very strong, strong enough to control the personality of the mentally ill, so that he has been in a state of psychosis, but why is this? Isn't he a psychopath? Don't you think a psychopath is too weak? Why didn't he let us heal him? β
"If I say, 'I don't know' the question you asked, would you believe it?" The silver-haired old man stared into the eyes of the head of the ghost group and said.
"Believe, we all believe what you say today, because you are all sitting here in a suit, no one will lie on this occasion, as you just said, every word here is related to our success or failure." A commander said.
The silver-haired old man nodded, "That's all I have to say, and that's actually all I know, but I'm going to make it very clear to you, I also know why he was able to use skills outside of his skill tree, such as Gungnir and the Spear of Victory a few days ago, and Nidhogg today, I know how he did this, but I promised him that I wouldn't tell anyone about it, so I chose to hide this, do you have any opinions?" β
"Gungnir? Odin's Eternal Spear? Did he use this thing? The head of the Gaia team asked in surprise.
The silver-haired old man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "I'm very sorry, everyone, I missed my mouth, but since I have already said it, then I will also confess, when the Hades King was controlled a few days ago, the World Tree used Odin's Eternal Spear to deal the final blow to it, and the big hole in the Hades King's chest was injured by the Eternal Spear." β
Silence fell once again in the Command.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any opinions on that incident just now? Today I am an independent party and you are an alliance, and you have the right to force me to tell all these secrets, but in fact I know only one of the secrets that I cannot tell. The silver-haired old man smiled bitterly.
The commanders looked at each other, their eyes exchanged intricacies, and finally, their eyes and opinions fell on the head of the Hades group, and the smile of the old man raised the corners of his mouth and looked up at the silver-haired old man......
