Chapter 24: Illusion Fight
*
In just a dozen days, Su Xi found that her ideas had undergone some earth-shaking changes. She especially missed Fitzgerald, the powerful but restrained and arrogant alpha, how rare.
As for these annoying raids and harassment, they occasionally reminded her of the now distant memories of Earth.
Before the time travel, she took another long vacation. She carried a big backpack like an ascetic and followed a self-driving team to travel across Lop Nur to India. In that country, which she originally thought was a pilgrimage country and the birthplace of the great Buddha, there were endless cases of rape against women. All women were regarded as indecent and sluts who accepted being forced if they were not exposed. If she had not been aware of her defense, exercised daily, and had some fighting and self-defense skills, she would have suffered a great loss.
What are the differences between this cruel discrimination and objectification of the disadvantaged gender before and after the time travel?
What is the true definition of a strong person?
Rational, restrained, strong but not willful bullying... or is it the determination that emanates from having a goal in mind?
The two-dimensional light screen projected in the air quickly rolled and demonstrated the recent transaction data of 'Arale'. Su Xi tried to find information that she could use. Because 'Arale' would not be her home in this era, she diligently collected and investigated all the intelligence, thinking about how to gain more chips.
At this time, the main ship Arale, which was moored at the outpost space station, had just completed its routine cruise and was completing the docking with the space station. A slight tremor came, and the water cup that Su Xi placed on the table had slight ripples.
Su Xi took a look, picked up the cup and poured it into her mouth. A few water droplets popped out and collided with each other in a state of light gravity to form a string. It was really interesting! Su Xi looked at it a few more times and quickly took the cup to catch it.
"Xiguang, didn't Arale's microgravity system undergo a retest? Why is there still such a mess during the connection?"
"Sister," the three-headed red-haired boy in the lower right corner of the main light screen was snoring while hugging a pillow. He was awakened by Su Xi's question and explained, "This giant mining ship is too old. It is made up of four or five generations of gadgets. Due to hardware limitations, the sensitivity cannot be increased any further~"
"Yeah, that's right!" Such an obvious fact, Su Xi didn't really want to ask, but just wanted to chat with it. This is the difference between humans and AI. The red-haired boy gave a serious and in-depth explanation a few times before, and the system has solved a few small bugs a few times. It is precisely because it has a deep frequency synchronization with Su Xi's brain through the U medium, the thinking circuit, IQ level and understanding ability of this carbon-based creature have been analyzed and backed up in its system, so Xiguang doesn't understand why Su Xi asked such a low-IQ question? !
But now it knows how to deal with it! Su Xi manually cleaned up several bugs for Xiguang, and collected related bugs into a program. She smiled and named it "Xiguang's Humanity Learning Manual". Then, similar to the situation just now, she created several folders specifically for making conversation. One is "Talk about 50 cents", one is "Talk about Grandpa Mao", and another is "Talk about three steel balls"...
Because there have never been keywords like "50 cents", "steel bulldog" and "Grandpa Mao" in the data system of "Xi Guang", it has created a new vocabulary of fuzzy semantics, called "Su Xi does not understand why", haha!
After joking, Su Xi entered a state of concentration again. She was now using the first mate's lounge on the main ship "Arale". The space was more than 50 square meters. It did not have the intelligent automated space division like the Sun Tun, but the basic washing space and sleeping area were still there. The rest of the space was occupied by Su Xi for placing a medical chair and a large personal terminal, so there was no more space.
At this time, the slight tremor completely stopped. The main ship had already docked with the outpost space station. The base's artificial moon hung high outside the window. In the distance was a huge planetary ring glowing with rusty red. Bright artificial light shone into the small circular porthole. The beam of light obliquely cut through the air and projected a mottled circle of light on the floor.
Su Xi was standing right in the middle of this circle of light, half in the light and half in the shadow.
She paused in front of a pop-up message.
For a long time, without moving.
Woo-woo-woo
Suddenly, a long whistle sounded from inside the base, breaking the frozen atmosphere inside. It was the command whistle for fighter planes to take off and land. It was the pirates' internal code.
Following the rhythm of the flute, she counted on her fingers and kept the beat. It was the whistle for a sneak attack, and then a gathering for a counterattack.
The searchlight outside the window swept across again and again.
A slightly cramped space with flickering light.
The internal alarm was also ringing, but at this moment Su Xi was attracted by a message that popped up in front of her.
Four two-dimensional light screens floated in the air and surrounded her. The faint light reflected the girl's delicate profile.
A mission letter signed by "Fitzgerald" appeared on the screen. It was deciphered by 'Xiguang' and came from Leila Assay's personal terminal. And all the communication attachments related to this content, several videos and audios.
Should I watch it? Or not? Su Xi hesitated, which was unusual.
Woo-la-woo-la-woo-la
The alarm sounded even shorter and sharper at this time! The intercom light in the lounge also flickered.
*
It is approximately 2,300 light-years away from the Arale galaxy.
On the edge of the Alpha Galaxy, there is a strategically located area bordering the Zerg Territory and the Siren Galaxy.
This is the first fortress of the human empire.
It is the most chaotic lawless area and also the most important strategic line of defense for mankind against the Zerg.
Beep—beep—beep—
The Eagle Squadron, which had just completed a special mission, had just landed on the landing gear and had not yet completed the connection when they heard a long low-frequency alarm from the base.
"Battle stations! All hands battle station..."
The members of the Eagle Squad all received a military alert notification from their headsets. Chris Zuowei, the head of the Seventh Army's dark department, jumped down hastily without waiting for the mecha to completely stop. The silver chain in his hand flashed with a cold light, and the other end of the silver chain was firmly welded to a 35 cm long and wide square box.
The person who came forward was Sir Kurt Loburn, a genetic scientist from the Imperial Defense Special Research Institute. He looked anxious and asked repeatedly, "Did you get the mother liquid?"
"I got it." Chris got on the suspended speed car and asked solemnly, "What's the situation with the commander?"
Kurt Loburn quickly followed and sat in the co-pilot seat: "Your Highness, no, the commander has persisted for ten days and nine nights. His current life value is still at the baseline, but his brain wave value has exceeded the maximum value thirteen times..."
"Fuck!" Chris couldn't help but curse! It seems that the worms hatched by Alyssa's method can't completely remove the racial memory!
After bringing it back to the First Fortress, the docking device broke down several times during the replacement of the previous generation of Zerg Core! Now it is all thanks to His Highness Fitzgerald connecting the Zerg Core Spirit Body through the U medium, and relying on a high degree of mental synchronization to fight against the genetic instincts of the Zerg, that the entire defense has been stabilized!
But what about His Highness himself? Thinking back to the scene before he left, the third live core exchange failed! The cloned larvae of the Zerg Queen went berserk, causing direct mental damage to six top mental trainers. Two of them died of brain explosions on the spot, and there are still three who are not out of the threat of brain death!
As the one with the highest mental power level at the scene, Fitzgerald could only violently invade the insect core's mental body when he could not kill and soothing and pacifying were ineffective, thus starting a war in the brain.
Brute force solution! No one has ever succeeded before!
No one has ever survived...
Chris was extremely anxious. He jumped off the speeding car, holding the safe handcuffed to his left hand, and rushed to the deepest underground of the fortifications!
quick!
The core module of the defense. The huge biochemical simulated insect cocoon has exploded into pieces! The entire core module has entered an emergency sealing state. All staff evacuate!
Except for one man who was alone.
At this moment, his eyes were slightly closed, with shadows cast under his deep eye sockets, and a few strands of scattered hair made his usually handsome and indifferent face appear somewhat strong and unruly.
The red hair was like fire and the aura was icy. Bang—the insect core in the confrontation exploded again! The remaining spiritual energy scattered and escaped in this core cabin that specializes in capturing spiritual power! The simulated biochemical insect cocoon that was shattered to pieces became even more shattered! Like a small blizzard! The snow-white biochemical simulation material was originally extremely tough and could withstand the force of tearing the mecha shell!
The mental force field that was originally invisible to the naked eye was causing the entire core module to tremble slightly because the confrontation was about to exceed the maximum energy load of this special space.
Buzz—buzz—buzz—
The air was distorted, and the human figure was almost blurred. On the monitoring screen in the core control room, the red insect core spirit body turned into several giant python-like spirit tentacles, madly whipping and strangling the silver-blue spirit shield! This was a spiritual confrontation between humans and non-humans!
Joey Albert frowned in front of the monitor! He could see that Fitzgerald still had some strength left, but the most difficult part was that he could only tame it! He couldn't strangle it! He couldn't even inflict a single mental attack! In the past ten days, he had invaded the insect core spirit body several times through the U-quality link, but he couldn't hurt it, so he had to retreat!
Finally, the red-haired alpha in the core module had reached his limit of patience. He raised his eyes slightly, turned his head and glanced in the direction of the monitor. His silver-blue pupils were already completely filled with silver pupil patterns, revealing an inorganic indifference and weirdness. He stretched out his long arms, and the lines of his naked arms were exquisite and smooth. The owner of the arms impatiently pulled off the flaming blue U medium that was wrapped around his naked upper body. As soon as the weird flaming blue semi-energy body left his clearly defined body, it lost its vitality and collapsed to the ground, turning into gray-blue smoke. The spiritual body link medium that had been refined for a long time was consumed in an instant.
Boom! He stretched out his long legs, stepped out of the vertical military psycholink cabin, and took over the body-covering clothing handed over by the special mechanical arm.
I only heard him say,
"Albert, adopt Plan C!"
As soon as the words fell, the insect core spirit body seemed to sense something! It launched the most violent attack! The red energy was almost visible to the naked eye!
Fitzgeralds put on his shirt slowly and neatly, and slowly put his slender hands up one by one. Facing the attack of the insect core spirit body, he did not dodge or evade, but deliberately opened a few gaps in his mental barrier!
On the display screen, the silver-blue mental shield opened up a crack that lured the enemy in, and scarlet mental power surged in madly, quickly filling the entire silver-blue area!
Yes! This is Fitzgerald's usual style. Since I can't strangle him inside the worm core, I'll just put the battlefield in my own mind!
The staff in front of the core cabin surveillance camera were so nervous that they held their breath!
Boom—the core module exploded! The base's alarm went off like crazy!
The backup defense force field that had been prepared in Plan C was almost operational at the same time! The security line was drawn!
And then—the movement in the new barrier died down, and everything suddenly became quiet again.
The strange and silent silence!
The battlefield takes place in the private mind, invisible to the naked eye and undetectable to any surveillance equipment.
Drop—drop—drop—
Strange sound of water dripping.
Bleak and boundless darkness. The original desolation of the universe.
He knew he was in someone else's dream. No, it was a labyrinth of thoughts deliberately created by a bug.
The illusions of coming and going did not bother him. They were nothing but killing, loneliness, misunderstanding, betrayal... all the ugly aspects of the world, all kinds of unbearable lightness, and heaviness that could not be put down.
Until he stood in the lonely universe for who knows how many thousands or tens of thousands of years.
This is playing with the confinement of time. If it were anyone else, they would have been driven crazy by the loss of time consciousness and the illusion of ten thousand years in an instant.
But he won't, he is a cultivator who returned from the Tomb of the Universe, and a qualified successor to Gerard's bloodline.
He waited quietly for the next vision he was about to experience.
Until one day,
From the unknown end of the universe, a small escape capsule suddenly floated over...
Fitzgerald pursed his lips.
