25. Dead line (5)
"That's where Arachnid started?"
Roland turned his glass, his gaze carefully staggered from the spider.
"A brutal special force dedicated to assassination and purge......"
"It's a very brief question, like asking 'what is a human being?' What angle should I answer that question? Philosophy, biology, occultism, private opinion, or common sense? Or do you want me to explain it in every way?"
"This ...... Was the establishment of the arachnid directly ordered by that guy, or was it the army and Stacy who first initiated it?"
β...... You are really gentle, suppressing the anxiety in your heart, for fear of stinging others...... Put the questions you want to ask the most later. In terms of the source, it started with the military. β
More than a decade ago, the defense forces were still very weak, and the entire national defense strategy was more defensive than offensive, that is, relying on the railway and road network to conduct defensive operations on the inner line. The Siegfried Line, the expulsion of chariots, and so on were all formed during that period.
Against that background, one day the General Armament Department and the General Staff Department submitted an application: In the event that the future war situation fell into the worst-case scenario of a war of attrition, could it be possible to develop "completely new weapons" in order to open up the situation? Two additional requirements were added, namely, secrecy that even one's own people had to conceal as much as possible, and that the weapons developed must meet the needs of a war of attrition, that is, they must be cheap and have a high consumption ratio.
Both conditions are more or less problematic. It was natural to be as secretive as possible in the development of weapons, but in the atmosphere at the time, it could be said that it was a morbid demand. As for the issue of cost, it is because the premise of "war of attrition" is demanded, and when facing an "opponent who wins by quantity," we have to consider our own national strength to bear it. In addition, although it is said to be "as cheap as possible", it is also compared to the previous or active weapons. For example, is it possible to create a weapon that can achieve the same result in less money than the cost and resources of a heavy or medium vehicle?
Taking this concept as a starting point, organic biological weapons were officially included in the military's vision, and their development direction can be divided into three categories: body strengthening, weapon specialization, and application specialization. The end result is the Chimera, a special soldier with telepathic abilities, an ancient species of ma, and an arachnid.
"Arachnid is a physical enhancementβ"
"Count it all. It is said that it is directional, but in fact, it is not very clear between them. In particular, after the intervention of the highest level, the whole direction of research has changed, and since then, all research projects have begun to be linked to 'a certain topic', consciously or unconsciously, and from this point on, the seemingly independent research projects have become sub-projects or offshoots of a larger research project. This feature stands out especially on the arachnid. β
As a project under the nominal direct jurisdiction of Stasie, in fact, the entire Arachnid project is under the supervision of the highest level, personnel transfer, use of funds, equipment and space...... Everything is for a "certain purpose", so to explore and analyze the brain, which is a difficult object to deal with, it is necessary to ask several brains for comparison and reference.
In other words, all of this is nothing more than human experiments in the name of a state, and the supply of "weapons" for the military and intelligence services is just incidental.
This is also where the name of the project Arachnid comes from, not insects or arachnids, but the use of spider webs as a metaphor for the mycelial network in the brain responsible for thinking. β
The spider took a sip of brandy and continued to speak in a calm tone.
"Because of this, the so-called training house is not a serious barracks, but more like a hodgepodge of all kinds of bad things. β
Harsh living conditions, brutal human experiments, high-elimination training, and suicide under pressure - the "worm cage" that gathers all the bad things is an out-and-out purgatory on earth, and every day corpses disappear into the incinerator under the training center, leaving only the brain in a petri dish and a number.
In accordance with the orders of the higher-ups, the children in the "worm cage" suddenly disappeared one day after burying themselves in the harsh training that could cost their lives, and before they had time to cry, they were pulled by the hair by the instructor and dragged to the training ground to start training again. Learn how to use weapons, learn how to destroy the human body, and then apply the techniques you learn to children in the same situation, sometimes even breaking a friend's neck with your own hands or slashing a knife into someone's heart.
You can't rely on anyone, only you can protect yourself. Even if you lose your life, no one will remember you, only be forgotten.
This is a matter of course. Who wants to reach out to children whose biological parents can't bear to give up? Who will remember these children who don't know each other?
"Either you become a valuable tool or you are disposed of as worthless garbage, that's all there is to the 'worm cage'. In that environment, the human heart will gradually die, and eventually metamorphose into the 'worm' that Stasi needs. In order to survive, the girl gave up her human identity and survived as a killer, a spider, in this cruel and ugly world. β
β...... Are you crying?"
The young man next to him asked gently, and the spider shook his head and pressed his wine glass to his forehead.
"It's a luxury to be able to cry, and that luxury is too far away for me to be out of reach. Also, let me finish the story. β
β...... Please continue. β
"After becoming a killer, the girl also grew into a girl, and the experience in the 'worm cage' made her understand one thing. Valuable people in this world are allowed to live, and worthless people are either thrown away as garbage, or become lost dogs, and eventually die in roadside ditches. In order to live, in order to be on the worthy side. The girl threw herself into her work. β
Men, women, the elderly, children, pregnant women - no hesitation, no mercy, as long as it is the target, all killed.
It's like a spider that devours its prey, just to survive, eating the life of its prey little by little.
"But. Under the laws and rules of Alfheim, no matter how many tasks a human-born killer completes, no matter how good his performance is, he can only climb to the rank of major at most. The only way to break through that glass ceiling is to take extraordinary measures. At this time, the girl received an important task to protect people, and the task was aimed at a well-known human boy in Alfheim, so the girl saw an opportunity. β
Since ancient times, the fastest and easiest way for a woman to enhance her own value is to sell her body. Further, it is the use of offspring.
Mothers are more expensive than children. This simple truth is applicable in any time and place, not to mention that according to the spider's various means, the top level seems to be quite concerned about the young man's offspring, and for this reason, he is trying to find a way to marry a woman of the right age for him.
If you can get acquainted with him;
If you can get his seed;
If you can get pregnant;
"Superficial and selfish, stupid and depraved. But for the girl, all this is a very natural thing. As a member of the organization, the value of oneself and others is of course judged by the value of the organization. So she began to ask for what she wanted. β
For the first time, there were mood swings in the normally calm voice, and the ripples of self-deprecation slowly dispersed in the tent.
"It's ridiculous. Obviously destroyed by the consortium and by Alfheim to this point, her so-called means of improving her self-worth is actually to contribute to Alfheim and satisfy that bastard dictator. If she could glance at it for a moment, she would see that there were gaps everywhere to escape, but she only looked at the closed iron fence in front of herβonly thinking about how to get the key to open it. β
Some people may say that it is not her fault at all, but just the environment. Oppressed by that extreme environment, people can only choose to distort their values to adapt to the world, otherwise they have no chance of survival.
However, as the spider himself said, everyone is responsible for his own actions. No matter what the general environment is, it is he who makes the choice after all, and the only one who is responsible for it and bears the consequences can only be himself.
Therefore, the girl does not regret this, and there is no point in regretting what has happened. What's more, the past that worked hard for that country and that organization has no nostalgic value, and in the face of the hope that she herself confirmed, that past is just a ball of shit. β
Cocking his neck and drinking the rest of the wine, the empty glass slammed down on the table.
"At no time will I regret leaving Stasi, and I will not regret dying. Anyway, I'm going to die in the end, and I'm willing to go through this life in a place of my own choosing, in the way I like!"
The girl's face was flushed, and there was a wanton, beastly smile on her face.
Looking at that free and wild smile, Roland's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
"Cheers to your choice, to your life!"
The two glasses collided together, and as Roland put the empty glasses back on the table, the spider reached out and hugged him tightly.
Caught off guard, the teenager froze.
The spider hugged Roland lovingly, and lowered her head and whispered in Roland's ear:
"It doesn't matter if you treat me as someone else's substitute. β
β...... Why do you say this all of a sudden?"
"Her Royal Highness, the Dragon Princess, the Muscle Lady, the Genius Lori - anyone can do it, even if only Minerva is not by your side. Let me be your pillar and the one who supports your back. Don't bury everything in your heart like you are now, tell me everything, and let me share your pain and pain. Orβ"
β......β
When the spider held Roland's head in his chest, Roland held his hand tightly to prevent himself from reaching out to hug the spider unconsciously.
Although it was Roland himself who took the initiative to ask the spider to betray Alfheim with the promise of "any condition is fine", it was Roland himself who promised to meet the spider's request to "get the seed" and had a good impression of the spider. However, Roland's affection for spiders does not in itself contain lust between men and women. On the one hand, it is due to the character of the spider, and on the other hand, and most importantly, Roland has Minerva by his side.
To say that there are so many girls around Roland, and he has not had the slightest lust for everyone outside of Minerva, it is absolutely deceitful. It's just that the ethics and values ingrained in his mind don't allow him to make a move on girls other than Minerva, and if he doesn't reject them, he will betray Minerva.
That being said, Roland couldn't push the spider away at the moment.
If she did so, she would undoubtedly hurt this girl, who was already devastated physically and mentally.
Although the spider has always spoken all kinds of irritating words, it has always kept a distance from Roland, and rarely directly participated in the competition for Roland. The reason for this posture of being a bystander is probably largely due to the low self-esteem and emotional control learned during training.
It is precisely because of this that when the rules and regulations that constrained her original personality no longer exist, the irrepressible passion burst out together, which prompted her to do this kind of thing.
That must be...... Very pure, very fragile feelings.
From the depths of the chest clinging to his cheeks, Roland clearly felt the girl's heart beating violently, and the soft touch from the cheeks continued to tease the boy's male instinct.
β...... If you do that, you're going to have a hard time. β
"I can't ask for it. β
"In the end, I'm probably going to hurt you. β
Even if the spider said that she was ready to come to her senses, Roland was not sure that she could treat everyone equally.
In the end, I probably will still hurt this girl.
Butβ
"Rather than tossing and turning and regretting for the rest of the day and night that nothing was left behind. β
The spider's cheeks were streaked with tears, and he said resolutely:
"I'd rather you give me a scar. It allows me to face tomorrow and say, 'Despite this, the world is still beautiful.'" β
β......β
The surging emotions can no longer be suppressed.
The boy almost subconsciously hugged the girl's body tightly into his arms.
