Qi Heng played...
Chapter 167
The nature of mental power is very strange, like a double-edged sword.
For example, when under control, it can be extremely resilient and can serve as a carrier of mental attacks, but when it is not under control, it is extremely fragile and sensitive.
Research data shows that the pain caused by lingchi mental torture far exceeds that caused by sexual torture.
No matter how strong and unyielding a person is, once his mental strength is exploited and he is punished, it is nothing to be surprised if he eventually suffers a mental breakdown or a collapse of his mental strength.
Qi Heng stood to one side, looking down at the two people who were curled up on the ground, trembling and screaming in pain due to the parasite.
He said in an ambiguous tone, "Professional soldiers are indeed different."
The one who was trembling all over was Kvis, and the one who couldn't bear the pain was Kylo. Obviously, the former could endure it better.
Yinpo shuddered when he heard that, and turned his eyes away reluctantly, not wanting to continue watching. At the same time, he was certain that Lu Ze in front of him must be a pervert.
Even so, Imper had no way to stop Kylo's wailing from reaching his ears.
Qi Heng pulled a chair over and sat down, looking at Kvis and the others.
"If you beg me for mercy, maybe it won't hurt so much." He spoke with a hint of laughter in his voice, and his tone was light and powerful.
Imper: ——! Doctor, what kind of pervert did you send here?
Qi Heng is not a pervert, nor does he like to listen to other people's screams.
He was just trying to appear focused.
The brain worm beside him was faithfully carrying out the orders he gave.
The brain worm manipulates the part of the mental power that is integrated into the mental power of Kvis and Kylo, and obtains the dominance and control over the brain, thinking and everything else of the parasitic person with a rough and tough attitude, while at the same time giving appropriate pain stimulation during the parasitic process.
——Mature brain worms are able to parasitize in a very gentle or even imperceptible way.
However, in order to intimidate Kvis and Kylo, Qi Heng deliberately made the parasitic process so torturous and painful, so that they could better cooperate with his actions later.
Unlike Kylo, who was completely lost in pain and unable to control himself, Kvis still retained a certain degree of rationality, but it was impossible for him to think calmly and carefully about the current situation.
Listening to the sound coming from above his head, Kvis used his willpower to force himself to sit up from the ground instead of lying in front of the man in an awkward posture.
Facing the man sitting on the chair, whose smoky gray eyes were identical to his own, Kvis squeezed out a word through his teeth: "Traitor."
As expected, it's a tough nut to crack.
As expected, not all the people in the Ikar civilization are spineless like Imper and others who will surrender after a little bit of manipulation.
But, this is more interesting, isn't it?
Qi Heng propped up his chin, nodded nonchalantly, and said, "A traitor?"
"Don't worry, Colonel Kvis, you'll be one of us soon."
He did not deny the beautiful misunderstanding that he was mistaken for an 'Ikar'. After all, he had deliberately made such a face to cause them to misunderstand.
Kylo had been tortured to the point that he no longer had the strength to wail.
If his body hadn't twitched reflexively when it felt the pain, he would have been no different from a corpse.
Kvis stared at him with eyes wide open, wanting to retort that he would never be a traitor, but his heart suddenly tightened and his body fell backward completely out of control.
Qi Heng noticed that a hint of blue-green flashed across Kvis's originally smoky gray eyes very quickly, and he understood.
This means that 'parasitism' has reached its final stage and there is no room for turning back.
The entire laboratory suddenly became quiet, so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard clearly.
Qi Heng stood up and walked in front of Kvis. The sound of his heels hitting the ground mixed with the gasps of Kvis and Kylo, hitting the heart of Imper, who was standing beside him with his head down and not daring to breathe.
"Do you need me to help you?" He said this, but he had no intention of taking action. He just bent down politely.
The brainworm flew behind him dutifully, like a guard.
"Let them get up." Qi Heng stood up and ordered.
The more painful the parasitic process is, the more it will consume the mental energy of the parasite. Kvis, who is under special care, is now like Kylo, a civilian staff member. He is powerless and cannot make his body obey by his own will.
However, Qi Heng's order was not originally given to them.
After acquiring a large amount of text and language information, the brain worm possesses wisdom and cognition roughly equivalent to that of an adult. Even without using mental power to communicate, it can understand the words of the master.
"Yes, King."
The next second, Kvis and Kylo stood up on their own, standing very straight.
In the hands of the brain worm, parasites are no different from puppets, and they don't even need puppet strings to control them.
"Why did my body move on its own? Could it be this..."
Kylo's eyes were full of fear. It was hard for him not to associate everything that had happened since he entered the laboratory with this strange and huge insect.
Especially now, the place where we are is still Tianyun Star, which imprisoned the defeated Tianjia civilization... And when we think of the Tianjia civilization, we naturally think of the Zerg who fought together with the Tianjia clan in the galaxy.
The Tianjia people were eventually dubbed the "Tianjia Zerg" by other civilizations. Not only because they evolved from insects, but more because they were cruel and cold-blooded insects who regarded killing as their sole purpose.
Qi Heng looked at Bijilo and the calm Kvis, and made clear what they were thinking.
"It's time to find out."
"Or, you're unwilling to admit it." Qi Heng glanced at the brain worm behind him and took a step to the side, completely exposing the existence of the brain worm.
"I don't have the power to restrict you from speaking, so why don't you say something?"
Kvis's throat moved, and his eyes moved between him and the brain worm as if he was confirming something for the last time.
Finally, Kvis's face turned pale and dejected.
"The Zerg... the original Zerg... why did they appear again?"
If Kylo could see it, it was certainly possible for Kvis to understand it, he just didn't want to believe it.
It is not surprising that creatures that have long been declared extinct reappear... The vastness of the galaxy has given birth to countless species. Even if they are declared extinct, there will always be some that have not been completely wiped out and will be discovered.
However, this definitely does not include the original Zerg that coexists with the Tianjia Zerg!
Although the demise of the Tianjia civilization happened tens of thousands of years ago, there are always legends about them in the interstellar space. Therefore, anyone who has a little knowledge of the history of the starry sky knows that the original Zerg has completely disappeared.
The first thing the Star Alliance did when it was formed was to resist the rule of the Tianjia civilization. The second thing was to mobilize all interstellar civilizations in the entire galaxy to conduct a carpet search, searching all the star regions where the original Zerg had last appeared.
The entire operation lasted for a thousand years.
Thousands of years later, after not being able to find a single original Zerg, it was finally confirmed that all the original Zerg were indeed dead.
If the original Zerg still existed, the original Star Alliance would definitely not have left the Tianjia Zerg behind - if they were to join forces again one day, it would be a real disaster.
——That is a scene that the entire galactic civilization does not want to see.
Seeing Kvis's expression of disbelief, Qi Heng didn't react in particular and didn't want to explain anything.
He had seen this kind of reaction many times before.
"I don't want to answer your question, but Imper might be interested in explaining it to you."
Imper, who was pretending to be invisible, was suddenly called out and raised his head in confusion.
Did I do something that was annoying?
Why should I be responsible for such a hateful thing?
And you want me to explain? The problem is, I don't even know what to explain. I speak as if I know why the original Zerg appeared again.
In her heart, Imper was filled with tears, but she did not dare to refuse in front of Lord Luze.
Just kidding, who knows if the other party will be unhappy and make things difficult for you.
"Yes, I can explain." Imper forced a smile and said under Kvis' murderous gaze: "Colonel Kvis, you can ask me if you have any questions in the future. I will tell you everything I know."
If you don’t know, then there’s nothing you can do.
