Chapter 36 Humanoid Weapon 6
While waiting for the adjutant to come, the system said that it had unlocked a hidden memory of the original owner by lighting up a special illustrated book.
The original owner finally recovered some of his memory, and Yan Bei of course chose to watch it immediately without hesitation.
Cold, cold light, hot body, cold instruments, cut skin, boiling blood...
The cold medicine was injected, and every boiling cell was clamoring with pain.
He seemed to have been experiencing this for as long as he could remember, day after day, day after day.
The soft skin gradually becomes as hard as steel.
"He is the only subject who has survived all the mutations so far."
The repetitive pain gradually becomes numb.
"He is the most perfect experiment I have ever created."
The thinking mind gradually becomes blank.
"No, that's not right. Why is he like a piece of wood? Why doesn't he obey my instructions?"
The soul gradually becomes transparent.
"No, I must have used the wrong medicine. Give me that one now."
"No, sir. My life force is slipping away quickly."
"Stop talking nonsense and save me quickly!"
"No... the weakening has stopped, no. The energy value in his body is constantly rising, he is, he is destroying himself!!"
“Stop him!”
“I can’t do it…”
“Stop him!!”
"Stop yelling, sir! Just run now!"
"No!!! Don't take me away! Don't take me away!! Stop him! Stop him! No..."
"No--……"
The noisy sounds gradually faded away, the cold white light gradually became hot, and everything in the laboratory disappeared in the hot white light.
When he opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by a completely unfamiliar environment. All kinds of colors that he had never seen before appeared in front of Yan Bei.
A sound came from behind...
"Who are you?"
…
The recollection ends here, because it was an almost immersive experience at the time, so when he came out of the memory, he was still affected by the despair of the original owner.
But at this moment there is no time to think about the information contained in it. Yan Bei has to suppress his emotions for the time being and deal with the current matters.
-
Lance took Yanbei back to the barracks.
Without giving him time to adjust to his role as adjutant, Yan Bei immediately planned to select his troops and set out to quell the rebel rebellion.
But he couldn't move at this time, so he dictated each order while lying on the bed, and then Lance, his adjutant, passed it on.
The entire camp moved because of his order. On the morning of the tenth day, an army ready to go was waiting for Yan Bei on the parade ground.
But before the departure, the deputy commander fell ill due to a sudden virus. In a hurry, he had to apply to his superiors to let his deputy Garcia temporarily take over the duties of deputy commander to avoid affecting the march of the entire team because of his own fate.
His superiors approved his application quickly without even alarming Yan Bei. After all, no one wanted to disturb the emperor's favorite with such an unimportant matter at this juncture.
Yan Bei noticed Garcia's familiar face during the military parade, but he didn't take it seriously because the protagonist Sha Jiagang had found a reason to have his superiors transfer him to the south not long ago, so he was not in the army that was about to set out.
This seemed like a good idea. He always felt that the boy was the number one destabilizing factor and would affect his future plans, so he put out some bait in advance to lure him out.
-
It was almost night when Yan Bei rushed to the Imperial Army camp in the southwest battlefield. He refused the invitation to dinner from the former commander of the camp and came to the platform alone in the early morning. Coincidentally, Clive, the commander-in-chief of the enemy army, happened to be observing here.
When he saw Yan Bei in front of the camera, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon he realized that Yan Bei was also observing him, and he was only relying on his naked eyes.
There was no unnecessary probing. With just one glance, Clive was able to confirm that the man in the camera with silver hair, a frosty face and a beauty as beautiful as a mannequin was the enemy's new leader who had never shown his face before. After looking at Yan Bei twice more, Clive did something that surprised all the guards around him.
He smiled, then raised his right arm in a friendly gesture of greeting.
"Teacher, what are you doing?" The people around him looked at him in surprise, and froze in the middle of their nervous defensive movements, not knowing what he meant.
"What a clean look..." Clive did not respond to the question raised by the people around him, but stared at Yan Bei in the camera and muttered to himself. He saw that the latter ignored his actions, but turned around and left the platform with an expressionless face.
Clive stood up from the mirror and said with regret: "I have only seen such pure eyes in children... Who is that guy..."
After expressing his feelings about this enemy whom he met for the first time, Clive looked at the others present and said, "Come back with me. When we get back, have a good rest and be fully energized for tomorrow."
-
The next day, before daybreak, the Imperial Army's artillery bombarded the rebel camp.
Clive didn't even have time to wash up. He hurriedly put on a coat and hid in the defense bunker under the escort of the bodyguards. Before he even began to deploy and command the counterattack, he heard the officer's panicked report in the liaison, "The enemy's artillery shells are coming in force, but, but they all missed..."
"None of them?" Clive asked in confusion.
"Yes, they have been shelling for half an hour, but we have not lost anything so far except the soil."
Another half hour later, the Imperial Army finally stopped the useless bombardment and started fighting with real weapons.
Clive also changed into combat uniform and went to the battlefield.
Then, how should I put it? This battle was something he had never experienced in his entire decades of life.
The enemy was too weak, like a group of freshmen who had not even graduated from military school. They had a bunch of cutting-edge equipment and weapons but were so flustered that they didn't even know how to use them.
The rebels won the battle almost effortlessly and captured a large number of prisoners and brand new equipment.
Clive did not stay too long at the celebration banquet and returned to his room early. He was not as happy as those young soldiers. His heart was full of doubts and speculations about the strange battle in the daytime. Recalling the silver-haired figure he saw yesterday, Clive wondered with worry, what on earth was he going to do?
What are you doing?
The system also had the same question. It asked, "Should we just let the rebels win? The emperor is not going to play along and doesn't want the whitewashing value?"
Yan Bei sat down at his seat, folded his hands under his chin, stared straight at the open space in front of him, with an unfathomable smile on his face.
[I changed my mind. Doesn't the Emperor's control device have any power over us?]
【What about the character setting? What about the whitewashing value? 】
【Whitewashing value… isn’t it halfway achieved? No matter where it comes from, as long as half is achieved, it’s considered a pass. As for the character setting? How can this be considered a character setting failure? The original work did not mention that the villain Yan Bei was actually a product of a laboratory, and naturally did not reveal that he had actually been brainwashed and controlled by the emperor.】
Yan Bei paused for a moment, and then continued, "So as long as we reveal these settings to the protagonist, it will be recognized by the world consciousness as a public setting. Then, as a scapegoat who is deeply controlled and brainwashed? He escaped from the controlled state because of a little accident. Then, after learning the truth, why can't he turn around and choose to retaliate against the emperor of the empire and his "father" out of anger? 】
[That seems to be true.] The system was convinced by him, [But if that's the case, the victory of the rebels is too easy. A novel with such a hasty ending will definitely be criticized as a bad ending.]
Yan Bei waved his hands nonchalantly, [But my mission is just to help the small world avoid destruction. As for the interest level of the novel, that is a question for the author to consider, and it is none of my business——]
He was talking to the system when there was a knock on the door. Before he could say anything, the person who knocked on the door hurried in.
Yan Bei looked over and saw the former commander of the camp walking in with several notices in his hand.
The other officers who came with him were standing at the door. The original commander frowned when he saw him, "General Yan! The order you just issued is not right. It is obvious that the genius is because of this--"
He had only said half of his words when he suddenly raised his head because he felt something was thorny in his back - he saw Yan Bei, who was sitting at the top, looking at him expressionlessly with his hands folded. The light shining from above cast a dark shadow on his eyebrows, the bottom of his nose and all the downward-turned face. The face that was so beautiful and charming in the daytime, now revealed a sinister aura and Shura-like murderous intent.
The commander was frightened by his look and stepped back repeatedly, but he had not taken a few steps before he bumped into something and fell backwards. As he fell, he looked at the shadows in the four corners of the room. He didn't know when black figures appeared one after another, and behind him, the officers who came with him disappeared silently.
In front of him, the ghost-like man had stood up from his seat and walked around the table towards him.
Isn't he a trusted minister of the emperor? What does he want to do?
The commander closed his eyes. At this moment, his heart was filled with fear that he had never experienced before in his life. A shadow named Yan Bei hung over his head.
"Commander, everything has been handled." Lance walked in and reported to Yan Bei.
Yan Bei nodded without saying anything.
一夜之間，整個軍營中所有聽命于皇帝的軍官都被宴北的親兵控制了起來，那些空閑下來的官職則被他前些日子裏從軍營中精挑細選的普通士兵給代替了。
這裏從此後不再是皇帝的帝國軍，而是他宴北的帝國軍。
之後一周，宴北繼續裝模作樣地陪克萊夫打了幾回過家家，孜孜不倦地往那邊送俘虜送裝備，守衛的邊界線也一退再退，幾乎都快要退到皇宮了，但是這邊的戰報卻一條也沒有往皇宮送過去。
就在宴北思索是故技重施把另外三線也搞下來，還是先帶着起義軍打上皇宮擒賊先擒王的時候，皇帝那邊主動聯系他了。
黑霧裏的老頭子比起上次看到了更老了。
再次從黑霧中退出來後，宴北遺憾地發現系統依舊沒法破解他這種奇怪的召喚方式。
而在另一邊，提早察覺到危險，靈敏躲過了宴北“軍官全殲”計劃的加西亞終于重新聯系上了皇宮那邊。
“……是的，這就是整個西南線如今的真實狀況。”加西亞捏着聯絡器，一絲不茍地将所有的情報如實上報。
電話那一頭的人許久都沒有沒有回複，就在加西亞疑心是否已經因為意外導致信號中斷的時候，一道蒼老到讓他驚訝的聲音傳來，“加西亞是嗎？我記住你了，你回去繼續幫我盯着他。”
“收到，尊敬的陛下。”加西亞放下聯絡器，然後飛快地又将其拆分成毫不相幹的一堆零件。
在拆除的過程中，他腦子裏不斷回想起剛才聽到的那道聲音，蒼老、虛弱、像是一位纏綿病榻勉強靠着營養針續命的老人，這樣的聲音，怎麽會是那位傳說中的那位将軍呢？又怎麽會是一位能夠統治帝國一百多年的皇帝呢？
他是在不久前獲得直接這直接幫皇宮做事的榮幸，當時因為狄特那幾個蠢貨幹出來的事，他也遭受牽連被迫停職接受觀察。
加西亞是帝都一個落魄到不能再落魄的小貴族和器材商人的兒子，在被迫呆在家裏的日子裏，加西亞開始嘗試經營家中的産業，幾個低調又普通的小作坊裏，常年生産着同一類型從不在市面上流通的實驗器材，而這些器材每一個月都由同一夥神秘的客戶來收走。
這到底是給誰提供的呢，在一次親眼見證交易現場，出于好奇，加西亞悄悄跟随了上去，但是最後他被人發現，差點交代在那兒。
“是%……*家裏的孩子……”在下手之前，有人阻攔下了殺手的動作。
他僥幸活命，也因為這次意外得知了一貫沉默又無用的父親竟然是一直在替皇帝做事的親信，因此在得知皇帝意圖找一個人替他監視新統領的時候，加西亞毫不猶豫地接了下來。
他也因此重新回到了軍營之中，在将一切都恢複原樣以後，加西亞走出了房間。
外面有帝國軍的同僚和他打招呼，“格雷斯，這麽晚了你還要到哪裏去？”
“房間裏有點悶，我出來透透氣。”加西亞轉過頭來，親熱和那個熟人打招呼。
哦對了，他忘了說，這種可以變換容貌甚至躲過基因監測的道具，還是他在酒吧裏和人交易情報換來的呢。

“博士！博士！”憤怒又虛弱的聲音在房間裏響起。
“陛下，發生什麽了陛下。”
“我的劍！我的劍竟然背刺了我！到底是——到底是什麽時候！他脫離了控制？你竟然一點也沒有發現嗎？”
“陛下！這也是沒有辦法的事情。不過我還有別的辦法來替你解決這個麻煩。”一團比周圍還要濃重的黑影悄然從博士腳下浮現。
“什麽辦法？”
“只需要……将他徹底控制住，抹除他全部的思想，還能順便将你的敵人解決。”
“你？你居然？”因為憤怒，皇帝連一句話都說不完整，“你既然有這種辦法？為什麽不早點說？”
“算了，就照你說的這樣辦……下去吧。”似乎是因為麻煩解決，皇帝的情緒平複了下來，後知後覺地厭惡起自己剛才失控的醜态。
博士像來時一樣悄然退下了。
終于來了，他等這一天已經很久了。

一道緊急的軍令從皇宮中發出，一路送到了西南線的宴北手裏。
“和談？”宴北看着手中的東西，輕哼了一聲。“這麽快就知道了情況，這老皇帝消息還蠻靈通的嘛。”
蘭斯靜靜地立在他身旁，沒吭聲。
這是一間讨論作戰的房間，除了他們外還有七八個年輕的軍官。人雖然都在，但是關于戰場的東西卻沒有多少，畢竟他們和起義軍交戰只需要用到一個戰術就行了，那就是，撤退！撤退！撤退。
這時，地下一個軍官轉了轉眼珠子後湊上去小心地問，“皇帝這是要和起義軍和談？那我們還要去直接投降起義軍嗎？”
“和談？那要怎麽談呢？是劃分領地從此互不幹擾，還是皇帝他……那我們到時候怎麽辦呢？起義軍真的不會因為我首都民的身份高區別對待嗎？”
聽着下面的話，宴北一時間陷入了沉思，皇帝意思其實是只要保留首都和首都身後北面的一小塊土地歸他所有。而其他的土地的則全都由起義軍所有，從此兩方簽訂和平條約，不互相幹涉內政，不主動挑起戰争。和平共處。
聽起來倒是挺正常的，也符合這位皇帝的現狀，但是宴北總覺得那老東西做下那麽多事，不可能心甘情願接受這種結果的。
他設計這件是打算幹什麽呢？其實直接拒絕和談打上皇宮才應該是正确的選擇，但是龐大的帝國軍并不僅僅只有他一個統領而已，其他東南北三線的軍隊也不是吃素的，如果要硬打，恐怕不是一天一月可以解決的，這中間還不知道會産生多少傷亡。
而且繼續打下去，難保他們不會拿出那種武器來，到那時候都不是還能不能完成任務的問題，他還能不能順利回到快穿局都是個問題。
何況在收到這條和談手令的時候，系統空間的任務進度條直接跳到了百分之九十。
這說不定真的就是最終通關的正确方式呢？

皇帝預備同起義軍投降和談的消息在從首都往外面傳了出去，傳到沙嘉耳朵裏的時候他正呆在房間裏預備同巴克聯絡。
和談？這自然是件好事。沙嘉這樣想，但是在接通那邊的信號後，從巴克的口中他得知帝國軍這邊要求起義軍的克萊夫老師親自前去兩軍交界的空中花園簽署和談協議，并且特別備注了幾點要求，比如要求他親自前往，絕對不允許由其他人代替前往。
起義軍那邊自然不同意這樣的要求。沙嘉也是這樣認為的，他對電話那一頭說，“就算是和談，也沒必要讓克萊夫老師親自前去，何況現在明顯是我們這邊優勢占盡，帝國軍輸掉不過是遲早的事情而已。”
“是的。”巴克附和到，“但是老師認為和談是一件好事，所以他并不打算草率地拒絕掉帝國軍的提議，在經過多次拉扯後，最終和帝國那邊敲定下了新的準則，由克萊夫老師帶領一隊防衛親兵，和帝國軍那邊一個人過來的統領宴北在空中花園簽署和談協議，全程都将以直播的形式報道出來，并且他們将代表信義的皇室印绶和新提議一塊送了過來。”
“就算是這樣……”沙嘉皺起眉毛，握着聯絡器的手忍不住捏緊了，一想到克萊夫老師很可能同意這樣的提議，他的心都在一瞬間提起來了，“也不能同意，帝國軍輸掉不過是遲早的事而已，但是他們就算是讓步也一定要要求克萊夫老師前去，那個狗皇帝一看就沒打好主意！”
“我也不同意！”中年男人憤怒地拍桌而起，瞪大的眼睛和因為憤怒而張開的鼻孔都一齊沖着背對衆人而站的克萊夫。“帝都裏那個狗東西有個屁的信用！”
“是的這一看就是在耍小詭計，你是我們這裏最重要的人，可不能以身涉險啊克萊夫。”坐他旁邊的另一個人也附和地勸說道。
“是啊是啊千金之軀坐不垂堂，克萊夫你不能在這件事上擅自做決定。”
房間裏的其他人沒有開口，但是一眼看過去臉上分明也寫着一模一樣的意思，拒絕掉帝國這個愚蠢的提議，只要克萊夫一聲令下，他們立刻就能一呼百應打上帝都，掀了那個老皇帝的巢。
在他們抗議的時候，克萊夫一直都面對着牆壁而站，默默聽着他們發言沒有開口。
良久，一道輕輕的嘆息在吵鬧的房間裏響起，其他人一下子全都閉上了嘴。
站在前面的樸素身影慢慢轉過身來，克萊夫的年紀并不算大，但是額頭卻因為長期的思考而皺出幾道深深的紋路。他一頭短發黑白摻半，面上的神色慈愛又溫和，眼睛裏是深深的讓人看不透的沉澱。
As soon as his eyes came over, the people sitting below couldn't help but sit up straight to listen to him.
The setting sun shone through the window, illuminating half of Clive's face with warmth and golden brilliance, while the silver edges emitted a faint glow.
He looked at everyone present carefully one by one, and then slowly said, "The people of the Empire and our companions, we were all human beings before we became enemies."
"Mil." He looked at the middle-aged man who first slammed the table in protest and said, "You were the first companion who helped me to establish the resistance army. At that time, we were just a hidden underground organization. Now it has been twenty years since then. How many companions have we sacrificed along the way?"
"...Every time I see the list of sacrifices, I feel blood dripping here..."
Clive pointed to his chest and looked ahead while trying to hold back his sobs. "I don't want to see any more of my companions die..."
After he said this, almost everyone sitting in the room had tears in their eyes. At this moment, the door was suddenly opened from the outside. Buck held the contactor in one hand, and his eyes searched around and quickly locked on Clive.
"Teacher, Shaka wants to talk to you."
Clive took the phone and just put it to his ear, he heard Shaka's heavy breathing coming from the other end.
"Hoohoo - Teacher, even if you want to go, please take me with you, okay?"
When Shajia heard the new proposal, he knew that he would not be able to stop Clive this time. He did not care about anything else and immediately opened the door and ran out while holding the contactor.
Ignoring the people who tried to stop him on the road, Shaka ran all the way to the parking place. The sound of the engine starting and Clive's silent voice sounded at the same time.
"Shajia, you could have left me a long time ago."
"Teacher..." Shajia didn't understand what he meant.
"You are excellent and amazing. You are the best student I have ever taught. And you should know that when I am not around, you are the only one who can keep everyone together and avoid division."
"You are the one who can lead the empire forward."
After saying this, Clive ended the call without any regrets.
"No..." Shajia held the steering wheel with one hand and increased the speed to the fastest, wishing he could return to the rebel army right now.
But no matter how fast he drove, he couldn't cross half of the empire and get back overnight.
Tomorrow morning is the time the two parties have agreed to hold peace talks.
early morning.
The two armies were stationed opposite each other in the sky garden surrounding the peace talks, with a distance of only 100 meters between them. Originally, they should not be so close, but the two sides had become so familiar with each other after playing house for the past few days that they were not wary of each other. They all wanted to get closer to the garden, especially the rebels, who wanted to follow Clive in.
Although it was named as a garden, it was actually a very plain building. Yan Bei had asked the system to check the inside long ago to make sure that there were no surprises that the emperor had ambushed for him, so he walked in quite relaxed at this time.
But unexpected accidents are never something you can avoid just by being fully prepared.
In the room, Yan Bei sat alone on one side, while Clive sat on the opposite side with a team of twenty-four personal soldiers.
The two sides seemed to have a huge gap in strength, but the cold aura on Yan Bei was not at all overshadowed by the opponent's numerical advantage.
This was the first time that Ba Wei met Yan Beiben. When he saw his cold and inhuman eyes, he couldn't help but frowned heavily.
He turned and made eye contact with the person next to him.
You tell me, if this seemingly ordinary guy suddenly explodes and is determined to fight to the death, can the twenty-four of us really help Mr. Clive escape unscathed?
Receiving his strange look, the man opposite him showed a hint of doubt in his eyes? He also made a face to convey this doubt.
How is this possible? There's no way this guy is a human meat grinder. Besides, he didn't even bring a weapon with him. How could he do that?
