tkworld Chapter 37 Waste
Chapter 37 Waste
"The palace banquet has good wine, and I came here specially for you." Shi Zhou sat down with his legs bent, and put one hand on his knee.Pushing open the cork of the wine bottle with one hand, the rich and mellow wine spread in the air.
Fenghuang looked like a crow drinking water again, unconsciously "tweeted" twice, and buried his whole head in the wine bottle.
The system jumped for joy after seeing Phoenix, whom it hadn't seen for a long time, and couldn't hold back the sound.Maybe because they are both species between science and metaphysics, they can communicate very smoothly. In the past, when Zhou was in the palace, there were often two small mouths chattering non-stop at the same time.
[Little Fat Chirp!It's been a few days since I saw you gain weight again! 】
"It's obviously been a long time." Fenghuang quickly pointed out two errors in the system's discourse angrily, "Where did I get fat, I lost weight!"
"I'm going to lose weight because of depression. The group of mecha masters in the palace study parts on my main body every day. I think they are noisy. I can't find anyone to drive me. I just want to improve my performance. Why are they doing this!" Mentioning these phoenixes, they became resentful and full of resentment.
For decades, I haven't had a good event in decades, I haven't ended a battle heartily, I have become a sculpture, and I have lost my freedom.
"The last time I held a particle cannon was ten years ago when Si Lin entered the cabin to manipulate me in order to prove his mental strength. The result! I told him hopefully that he was my favorite male guest, and he But he rejected me, telling me that he already has the chosen mecha!" Fenghuang became more and more agitated, "His hit machine is not me!"
These words of tigers and wolves really make those who hear them sad and those who hear them cry.
When he happened to mention the honest man he had just deceived, Shi Zhou felt uncomfortable for a while, but he couldn't hide his curiosity: "Si Lin ten years ago...?"
When he came to this world, Si Lin was already well-known, and the book never mentioned the reason why Si Lin was at the top of the empire's power at such a young age.
"Ah, you haven't come to the imperial capital yet." Fenghuang was a very good confidant, although he was puzzled that a person as ignorant of world affairs as Shi Zhou would ask a lot, but he explained it in detail.
At that time, the empire was far less peaceful and stable than it is now. The strong invasion of the Zerg made the entire empire under the dark clouds of panic. Green, who was the marshal at the time, is now the headmaster of the first army, and recommended a young man to the royal family against all opinions. People, single-handedly helped him up and down to the position of marshal.
That is Si Lin.
The spiritual power of the double S has a faint trend of breakthrough, and it can control the god-level mecha of the 3S.
Such an amazingly talented person seemed to suddenly appear in the empire overnight, and before that, he was able to remain silent for many years.No one knew his origin, Principal Green was vague, and the royal family did not interfere.
The nerves of the people have been weakened to the point that a young man in his early twenties can't raise any objections after taking over the burden. The empire is declining, and they already have the will to die.
Until the first ray of morning light illuminated the vast land of the empire, on top of the crimson ruins, Si Lin won the empire's first tragic victory.
The spread of blood and fire finally stopped in the small town on the border of the empire, and countless people cried and fell to the ground to celebrate their own lives and mourn the deaths of others.
Since then, the situation has been overwhelming, and Si Lin has won many battles and victories with inexhaustible bravery, defeating the Zerg tribe and fleeing after hearing his name, leaving behind the reputation of "Glory of the Empire" ever since.
More than ten years have passed, and Si Lin has reached the level of 3S mental power, quietly watching the prosperity and decline of the empire, and sitting on the seat of supreme authority.
Ten years of traces and ten years of heart.
But everyone felt that Si Lin didn't seem to have changed much.
"The way he proved his ability to the royal family back then was to drive Phoenix." Phoenix gritted his teeth.
The joy of someone answering after years of silence was ruthlessly extinguished by Si Lin, and Fenghuang decided that Si Lin was an out-and-out scumbag who failed a fragile bird heart, and even brought a mecha that hated his boss Lin—— snow wolf.
"The wound on your body was scratched by the snow wolf, right?" Shi Zhou was not surprised when he saw it. The clear and clear wolf paw prints often appeared on Phoenix for a while, and at the same time, there were often birds on Snow Wolf's body. Little pecks.When two "souls" meet, they start tearing apart, like Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, Percy and Lance, cat and mouse.
"I tore out a lot of its hair, let's see if he dares to mess with me in the future." Fenghuang proudly showed off his achievements.
Shi Zhou silently glanced at a short tuft of the phoenix's tail feathers.
Silly bird, you are going to be bald too, do you know that?
But considering its psychological feelings, Shi Zhou lightly used other reasons to advise: "Although fighting can promote the progress of both sides, it must also be peaceful and friendly. People fight outside every day, you give it a little bit, and sometimes don't fight if you can. "
Fenghuang was not convinced: "I can also go outside to fight, I..."
Unwilling, it gradually weakened its tone: "Zhou Zhou, can you help me?"
Shi Zhoufei blinked quickly, a little stunned: "How can I help?"
"Look, you can still see the 'soul' now, maybe you can drive a 3S mech if you climb up slowly!"
Although the phoenix is currently owned by the royal family on the surface, in fact, Emperor Solomon left an edict when he died, and those who can do it. As long as the phoenix chooses that person, and that person happens to fit the mech, then the phoenix can be owned by whoever.It's just that this person hasn't appeared for many years, and the royal family has tried their best to maintain and repair it, creating an illusion that the ownership of the mecha belongs to the royal family.
"I don't like those members of the royal family, even if Lance didn't have a first bird, I wouldn't choose him." Phoenix muttered proudly.
Lance's first sparrow is the mecha that truly belongs to the royal family and has been inherited from generation to generation by the best children of the royal family.
Before Shi Zhou came, he had never had such an idea, and he came to meet Fenghuang only out of reluctance to give up.He always thought that it was a blessing in misfortune that he could survive and even be able to machine armor, not to mention the things on the cloud.
He looked hesitant, pursing his lips, not knowing how to react.
On the one hand, he is afraid of trouble. After the relationship with Fenghuang is exposed to everyone, he may never have a peaceful day.But on the other hand, Fang Qiu's high-spirited longing, which is a young man by nature, pops up here and there sporadically.
His heart was pounding like a ball bouncing higher and higher, Shi Zhou finally shook his head hesitantly, and used a euphemistic way of saying: "That can't be now, I can only drive B-level mechs, wait until I can control the school I'll come to you when I'm in the S-class mecha, okay?"
Fenghuang nodded happily: "Then we have agreed that you can't bind them first!"
When a soldier has the ability to drive an S-class mecha, the military will create a mecha exclusively for him, and implant a chip to strengthen the connection between the mecha and the driver.Even if the soldiers don't know the existence of the "soul", but by virtue of mutual induction, people can feel the consciousness of the mecha, and the mecha swears allegiance to its master.
The system watched the whole situation silently, as if it was a little sad to know the reason why Shi Zhou didn't agree.
Afraid of trouble?Of course there is this reason.
But based on his understanding of Shi Zhou, it is not in his character to look forward and backward. The reason why he is so vague is probably because of his lifespan.
Once the connection is established and the soldier dies, it will also deal a profound blow to the intelligent mech, both physically and mentally.
Thinking of the place of death, it sighed heavily.
Fenghuang didn't understand, so: "Little system, why are you sighing?"
The system adds to the loneliness that is not known to people or birds, and sighs deeper.
Shi Zhou was amused, and rubbed Fenghuang's head: "It often does this, so don't take it too seriously."
Fenghuang nodded in a daze, remembered something, put his head against Shi Zhou's palm and rubbed it attached: "Do you want to establish a connection?"
Connection means that the mecha that produces the "soul" consciously chooses the master, and gradually fits and resonates through spiritual consciousness without relying on chips.
To be honest, after Shi Zhou came to this world, he found many things similar to martial arts novels. way to achieve.
Stopping the sound of the system, he changed to a more comfortable sitting position with his legs crossed.
Tentatively pulling out the spiritual power to explore, the spiritual realm of the Phoenix is as vast as ever, like the magnificence on the ancient murals jumping in front of the eyes, the chaotic void, strange and gorgeous, the river is surging, the clouds are turning in the sky, and the roar of the dragon is faint.
Looking down, it shows the appearance of the interstellar era, the ruins on the doomsday, the abandoned wreckage, blood dripping into rivers, and dark flowing matter.
How could this be?
Shi Zhou was surprised that Phoenix's spiritual world was so polarized. He looked away and found the door at the end where the two skies connected.
The moment before he touched the doorknob, thunderbolts fell from the air, and Zhou Zhou was shocked, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and he retreated mentally to protect himself.
"How are you Zhou Zhou?" The system and Fenghuang suddenly turned pale with shock.
Shi Zhou stood up rubbing his temples, waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, and laughed out loud.
"Did you get struck by lightning?" The system was about to cry.
Shi Zhou looked at his palms and smiled sullenly: "No, I just never thought that being struck by lightning would feel like this."
Crisp and numb, I feel like I can spit out a mouthful of white smoke.
It's over, the child is really stupid.
The system couldn't help scolding Fenghuang: [What the hell are you doing?Did Leigong and Dianmu go in? 】
Fenghuang was so guilty that he stammered: "I... I... This is an accident!"
But a flash of light quickly rescued it, and it was surprised: "Zhou Zhou, what is in your hand?"
"What?" Shi Zhou asked back, upon hearing this, he raised both hands to look.
Clean and fair without any marks.
Fenghuang couldn't believe that he was wrong, and hurriedly defended: "I clearly saw a little light flashing on your wrist just now, it's on your left hand."
Shi Zhou touched it soothingly, recalling what he had done before?
perhaps……
Excessive stimulation of mental power?
Shi Zhou concentrated his barely recovered mental strength, and as expected, starlight suddenly shone indistinctly in the darkness, connecting the dots into a line to form a symbol of a hexagram.
The system is tense, and anything related to this pattern can stimulate it: [What is this?Something left over from the experiment?What's wrong with you? 】
Shi Zhou shook his head: "No."
[Have you heard of the Hexagram Project? 】The system is in a hurry to go to the doctor, hoping that Fenghuang, who has lived for a thousand years, can know some inside stories.
Shaking his head like a phoenix.
The mecha is placed there, and its scope of action is only a few places. It is very rare for it to keep up with the trend of network development. How could it be possible for a mecha to hear about this plan.
It has never seen Shi Zhou being tortured, but it knows that it should be painful and disintegrating, just like the pain it suffered when it was lost in the Star Wars.
It is more concerned about the follow-up of Shi Zhou, whether there will be sequelae: "Are there any serious consequences?"
Just as the system was about to speak, Shi Zhou preemptively said: "It's okay, everything is stable now, and I'm making progress slowly, don't worry. I made a promise with you that one day I can be by your side, okay? "
Fenghuang's eyes were bright and he nodded his head desperately.
"Okay, don't be playful, I will go back to the palace with you."
Shi Zhou got up and patted off the grass clippings on his pants, and turned his head to tell Fenghuang.
The "soul" can only have the most suitable cultivation in the main body of the mecha. Even if the "soul" of Phoenix is strong, it can't withstand leaving for a long time.
"Oh." The Phoenix was listless, extremely reluctant, the depths of the palace were empty and boring, it would be better to come here to listen to the wind, the wilderness is open, and it would open up its depressed mood a lot.
But thinking of Zhou's company, it cheered up again.Now that Shi Zhou has come to the imperial capital, it is not easy for him to find him. It is much easier than when Shi Zhou disappeared.
From Mo Senlin to the palace, a jar of wine was poured clean. Shi Zhou's body smelled strongly of alcohol, but his eyes were clear.The sound of bickering between the system and Fenghuang continued, but outsiders couldn't see anything, they just thought it was a frustrated teenager who indulged at night.
The same scenery, different state of mind, seems to have such a lively company, which makes the scenery along the road much more colorful.
There is no clear boundary between the outermost edge of the palace complex and the marketplace, and Shi Zhou can only be sent here, and there are strict guards a little further on.
"Go back." He urged Fenghuang and said goodbye with a smile.
Phoenix reluctantly turned his head three times a step, whimpered and chirped twice, spread his wings and disappeared.
The moment he walked out of Phoenix's sight range, Shi Zhou's shoulders suddenly collapsed.He immediately cut off the connection with the system, found the dilapidated room in the palace, densely covered with cobwebs, and piled up with dust, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground.
A choked sound came out of his throat, he couldn't move his whole body, a suffocated blue color appeared on his face, and the pressure from nowhere squeezed his heart.
When the lightning struck down just now, it was too late for him to withdraw, and he was injured.
Under the moonlight, there was a slight sound of footsteps, elegant and restrained, echoing in the empty room.
Anda slowly walked up to Shi Zhou.
During the palace banquet, his sense of presence was not high. Others kept a distance from him intentionally or unintentionally. They didn't expect that he would still be there after the banquet, as if they knew they were waiting for him here.
Shi Zhou and Anda hadn't been in contact for a long time. In the compulsory course of the first army, Shi Zhou behaved not much different from other students, as if the one on stage was just a teacher he was not interested in, not an enemy he hated.
"You have spent too much mental energy and consumed your own life. I don't know how to comment on you other than being stupid." Anda squinted at Shi Zhou, as if looking at a commodity or a container, "It seems that you didn't It's perfect, in the future you will be more violent and irritable, and become another you, completely different from now."
"The experiment failed." Anda whispered, with regret, "I thought I could surpass the previous generation, but I didn't expect it."
What does previous generation mean?
Before he had time to think about it, there was only the sound of Shi Zhou's gradually becoming short of breath in the air. He wished he could bang his head against something and use other pains to divert his attention, but found it was futile.
No kind of discomfort can compare to the sense of collapse and suffocation that can't take away the mind in front of him. It's hard to tell whether it's the pain that stimulates his mental power that makes him collapse or the inexplicable greed right now is more disgusting.He felt that the meridians in his whole body seemed to be exhausted, clamoring frantically for something to be replenished, like walking in the desert with deadly thirst, draining his flesh and blood, and expanding his body like crazy vines about to explode.
Anda explained the current reason for him: "The same situation happened in the same batch of test subjects as yours. They were eager to be filled, and they were on the verge of collapse but didn't know what they wanted. Of course, they were not as lucky as you, and they all died. gone."
"You know, pain, hallucinations, senses, hallucinations, these are the best weapons to drive a crazy person, and can make a sane person go crazy overnight, let alone you, Shi Zhou."
A test subject living forever in the shadow of pain.
The six-pointed star logo on the wrist continued to flash, Shi Zhou suddenly raised his head, grabbed Anda's ankle with one hand, followed by his upper elbow with the other hand, and instantly Anda fell to the ground like a rag doll.
Anda's mental strength is much higher than that of Shi Zhou, but with Shi Zhou's current physical fitness and long-term training in the base army, once he seizes the opportunity, Anda has no room to fight back.Because unlike Shi Zhou, Adachi has a fragile body that cannot match the top mental strength. This is a secret hidden by Anda and the people around him. Others don't know it, but Shi Zhou who has read the original content will not understand it.
It seemed that the long-standing flood was out of control after opening the floodgates. Shi Zhou found that he could not stop, and the muscle conditioned reflex acted before the brain.
His punches are dense and solid, without giving anyone the reaction or time to fight back. The muffled sound of hitting flesh and bones and the sound of cracking bones can't arouse his pleasure. Know exactly what you are doing.
If Shi Zhou has the heart, he will find that his situation is exactly the same as that of the Griffin.But his brain has long been unable to think, instead it is full of violence and blood, and he has no chance to be a human being.
Anda's evasive face and continuous new injuries stimulated his nerves infinitely, and the bones collided with each other, making a loud wail.
kill him!kill him!kill him!
Countless white-clothed and desperate test subjects in the laboratory screamed sharply in his mind, and the hideous ghosts crawling out of hell squeezed in front of his sight, as if trying to break through the shackles of his body and control him.
The slender neck was right in front of him, as long as he exerted more strength, the hatred and obsession in this person's heart could be wiped out after his death.
All the waking ups and collapses from the dream at midnight, all the flashes of fear and pain in the sky during training, all came from the instigator.If you kill him, you will be free, kill him!
why don't you kill himDo it!
Those test subjects asked questions with blood and tears, and waved the ghost image to step forward to tear him apart.
Do it!Do it!Do it!
Shi Zhou's eyes sharpened, the knuckles of his manipulating fingers retracted, and the sound of clanging broke through the air.
He moved his fingers away from Anda's neck, and slowly clenched it into a fist and loosened it by his side. The blood flowed back from his body, and his eyes were still scarlet but clear.
The ugly test subject was dragged back to hell overnight.
Almost, he went crazy.
He didn't believe that Anda didn't have any means to save his life and let him kill him. On the contrary, if he really broke the string, the hatred mind would firmly control him, making him a killing machine that lost his mind.
Anda sucked in the missing fresh air like a gossamer, his horribly bruised face due to lack of oxygen gradually faded, and clear and horrifying fingerprints remained on the white neck.
"Trash." He sighed with regret, and stared at Shi Zhou with the eyes of looking at trash.
Shi Zhou squatted in front of him with one knee, his eyes were a quiet and gloomy gray-blue, without threats, let alone excessive resentment.
"Anda, you're crazy, but I'm not."
What makes people human is that they know reason, know restraint, know how to overcome base desires.
He slowly took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, threw it aside and then gently straightened the other's collar to cover the scar on his neck:
"You are sick."
"I will send you to the mental hospital with my own hands."
