Invasion [4]
Lin Yuan often saw some fighting scenes in TV dramas.
Those fights were fantastic and full of twists and turns.
The warring parties came and went, and they needed to stop to express some inner feelings for each other at the beginning and halfway through the battle.
But on the real battlefield, Lin Yuan found that everything happened very quickly.
Almost as soon as Ni Ji's words fell to the ground, there was a tingling sensation on her arm as the skin was cut by the blade.
Lin Yuan covered her hands.
It hurt. It really hurt.
Although there was no injury at all, the skin was cut and the blood was so obvious.
The pain felt by the tentacles was transmitted to her intact.
She now knew that Ni Ji's words were not threats.
If the Sentinel cut off a tentacle with a knife, she would also truly experience the pain of being cut off by the blade.
The tentacles wrapped around the killer whale relaxed slightly due to the pain.
The big, slippery fish accurately caught the gap, struggled free from its restraints, and swam out. As soon as he was free, he rushed straight towards Lin Yuan at an incredible speed.
The strong fish tail was raised high, and it slammed towards Lin Yuan with a huge wave.
Even in the sea, the overwhelming power that swirls the water makes people feel horrified.
If the caudal fin was slammed with such strength, half of her head will be lost on the spot.
Lin Yuan didn't know what would happen to her body if she died here, in Ni Ji's spiritual sea.
No one taught her this.
But she seemed to belong to such a spiritual world, and she soon became familiar with everything in the extremely dangerous battle.
In the fine sea water surging around her, there were strands of consciousness hidden by the Sentinel.
Abnormally fine, just like dust scattered in the vast sea.
But Lin Yuan keenly captured it. She caught those motes and peeked into the warrior's mind.
So she could predict his attacks in advance, and narrowly avoided those overwhelming attacks.
A huge force brushed past her face, although she barely escaped, her body was swept away by the powerful vortex that followed.
Lin Yuan rolled in the sea in embarrassment.
The sky was spinning, and it was impossible to tell which way was up and down, and there were memory bubbles formed by flying fragments everywhere.
In every bubble, there were countless strange faces.
Lin Yuan turned around and looked around during the tumbling.
In the dark sea water, there was a pair of lavender eyes, shining like two clusters of icy flames burning in the deep sea.
It was the eyes of the killer whale, and he followed her.
That pair of purple flames followed Lin Yuan closely, almost leaving a purple afterimage. Ni Ji's behemoth-like spiritual body was rapidly approaching.
Lin Yuan was surprised.
This man was obviously tortured and bruised all over his body. He was injured and tired, and his spirit was weak.
How could he still possess such a strong spiritual body and launch such a powerful attack?
It was not that Lin Yuan had never seen a Sentinel.
In the White Tower, there were a large number of Sentinels in military uniforms, with pulse guns on their waists, walking back and forth every day in high spirits.
These strong tall people, when seeing a Guide turned like a peacock eager to open its tail.
But their spirit bodies were very docile, and their spiritual realm was so small that the end could be seen at a glance.
Not like this fish.
This was a soldier who had been tempered in the abyss and swamp, and was a strong man who fought monsters in the polluted area every day.
It was a warrior who walks out of the bloody scene with many holes.
Fighting so decisively and fiercely, no matter what, it was almost a fight of life-and-death.
If it was in the real world, Lin Yuan would not want to be the enemy of the sentinel,
but here, in the spiritual world, Lin Yuan felt that she would not lose.
In the spiritual realm, the body was the spiritual body condensed by the will. Here, she would never be the weak one.
She even felt that as the battle progressed, she became stronger and stronger.
Dodging becomes more flexible, vision becomes sharper, and she gradually learned to control everything.
It seemed that something was gradually waking up, and the tentacles were all restless.
Those little things who had been restrained by Lin Yuan in the past became even bigger now. They surged excitedly in a certain unknown hidden space, constantly turning into entities and breaking out of the ground.
With the aid of the current, Lin Yuan retreated rapidly, and saw that the black and white giant whale was finally re-entangled by the tentacles.
They wrapped around his wrist, fish tail and jet-black body, and tore apart in different directions.
Then they cheered and made concerted efforts to turn this sea monster over and pull it into the depths of the sea.
The half-human, half-whale Sentinel struggled desperately in the water, crushing the soft aquatic plants and crushing countless beautiful corals.
The tentacles entangled one by one. In the end, he was pressed on the reef with coarse gravel on the seabed.
Lin Yuan was suspended in the sea, looking at the whale that was pressed to the bottom of the sea by the tentacles.
His strong body struggled once or twice at first, but gave up soon after. He let the tentacles cover them one by one.
The tentacles seem to have acquired a rare big treasure, wandering around wantonly, and got into the Sentinel's messy black hair several times to lick it.
The fish, the Sentinel, did not resist.
He closed his purple eyes that were burning relentlessly, and when he opened them again, the glare faded and returned to ordinary black. He was entangled in tentacles, putting on an appearance of resigning himself to fate after doing his best.
It seems that Lin Yuan won the battle.
Lin Yuan always felt that something was not quite right. There were several moments when she was sure that the Sentinel had a chance to chop off a tentacle or two.
She even gritted her teeth in advance, preparing for the coming severe pain.
But nothing happened, the extremely sharp blade seemed to have stopped at that moment.
It contained emotions that Lin Yuan had no time to interpret carefully.
This beautiful and mysterious underwater world was messed up by the battle just now. The beautiful corals were crushed, the soft seaweeds were crushed, and the sea clams of various shapes were completely turned out.
This was the world made up of the Sentinel's spirit. Those broken and unstable things turned into memory bubbles one after another.
Numerous memory bubbles rise from the bottom of the sea, spread out in all directions, floating and floating.
Let Lin Yuan, the intruder, read it.
This was only the outermost part of the spiritual realm. If she went to the depths, there were reefs with thousands of turns, and the underground palace hidden in the dark could be explored.
They hid infinite mysterious treasures and had lost their only protector.
Had to keep the door open to intruders.
Lin Yuan could enter it, explore, read, manipulate, and even destroy it at will. But she knew she didn't need to go deeper into it. The answers she was looking for were close at hand.
Lin Yuan floated among the scattered air bubbles.
She saw countless pictures stored in his memory.
Ferocious monsters, blood-stained soldiers, countless dead bodies...
She turned her eyes to the bound killer whale.
The man was also looking up at her from the entangled tentacles.
Through the intertwined layers of tentacles, the gray-black eyes stared fixedly at her.
Like waiting for an ending.
It turned out that all this was just his deliberate design. Lin Yuan suddenly understood everything.
This was Ni Ji's plan, and it was also his bet.
Lin Yuan was part of his plan.
He bet on his own life.
This man was too hard on himself, Lin Yuan thought.
In order to get out of the predicament, he put all his life on the table.
Everything that Lin Yuan saw in front of her eyes was what he was willing to hand over and show to others.
As for Lin Yuan, even if she knew that everything was this person's plan, after seeing everything, she still had to make a choice.
Large and small bubbles rose before Lin Yuan's eyes.
Lin Yuan saw the countless faces of this Sentinel.
There were smiles and there were sorrows. There was blood-stained anger, and there was also murderous fierceness.
Unlike now, being pressed in the deepest seabed.
With a lifeless ashes on his face, he looked resigned to fate.
***
On the military grounds, more and more idle Sentinels gathered from all sides.
The crowd gathered together to watch the Guide went forward and stood in front of the imprisoned criminal.
She stretched out her slender and fair hand, which was as soft as onions, and pressed it on the criminal's bloody forehead.
Not long after, the Sentinel, who had been tortured for several days and never groaned under any torture, suddenly began to struggle violently.
The body hung on the torture rack swayed violently, the rough iron pillar began to sway, and the hanging iron chains collided with each other, making a loud noise.
Like a mad beast.
But that Guide, that young and beautiful girl, still stood firmly in the face of such a fierce beast.
She closed her eyes, and her white palms held the man's entire brows and eyes motionless, not allowing him to break free.
But after a while, Ni Ji collapsed as if he was defeated.
He lowered his head and softened his struggling body, allowing the chains to tighten and hang his arms.
"My God, is this a Guide? Can a Guide do this?"
"A Sentinel of this level was subdued by her?"
"Probably Ni Ji himself was about to have a nervous breakdown, how many days has he been hanged?"
"Oh my god, it's still unbelievable."
The crowd of onlookers talked in amazement.
The Guide on the high platform opened her eyes, looked around, and extended her other arm.
She pressed that hand on the brain tank system. It was the machine connected to the screen, equipped with the human brain, and playing the memories of the dead.
On the Guide's wrist was a watch-like thing.
As her palm came into contact with the brain cylinder system, the screen of the watch lit up. Several small virtual screens were projected, quickly scrolling rows of fluorescent fonts.
The sense of technology of this thing had surpassed the times too much, and it didn't fit in with the rammed earth walls and pig iron shelves around the grounds.
"What it is?"
"Stupid, I've never seen the world. It's a personal electronic terminal that can be connected to all electronic devices."
"A high-end gadget that can only be found in the ruins of the past."
"Wow, this girl is a super rich person."
"Nonsense. How many Guides can be poor? They are either matched to the royal family, or matched to the nobles."
When they were still talking amongst themselves, the large screen next to the torture frame, which had been playing videos in a loop, fell into a state full of snowflakes.After a while, several unstable images flashed back and forth on the screen, and a video was played again.
From the video screen, it seemed that it was still in the polluted area.
It's just that the perspective was completely different.
The distorted buildings in the polluted area, the dark trails covered with snails, and the giant spores towering in the air were all clear and bright.
It was as if someone had carefully observed it and kept it firmly in his mind.
A small group of soldiers rested up near the campfire. Most of them were Sentinels. They wear tight uniforms and carry weapons of various qualities.
Among them, there was a man wearing glasses who looked like a researcher, who was protected by everyone in the center.
Even though it only played for a short time, the veterans who watched the video nodded in their hearts. They began to admit that this was a team of well-trained, disciplined, very rare pioneers.
The corner where they rest was chosen very cleverly.
It was in a ruin with a high visibility, and there was a large open area in front of it. Any dangerous creatures would be seen from a distance.
Even so, they still set up obvious guards in the distance, and there were hidden guards lurking in the canopy nearby.
A female sentinel, who was in charge of being a hidden guard, stuck to the tree trunk without any motion, almost merging with the tree. If it weren't for the special effects brought by the main perspective of the screen, the audience would hardly be able to spot her.
Around the bonfire, the Sentinels were talking in low voices, drinking water and eating, and replenishing their strength.
The firelight reflected on their either young or vicissitudes of life.
Even in moments of relaxation, they were like this. These people were holding the food in one hand, and the other arm was habitually hanging by their side, pressing it in a position where they could take out their weapons at any time.
This was a team that had been tempered and could deal with any unexpected situation.
They must have a tacit understanding developed over the years, and a rigorous and cohesive captain.
"This, this is not the memory of the dead researcher. Whose memory is this?" Officer Wu at the window stood up, took a few steps forward in a daze, and murmured, "It can't be...?"
The Sentinels still didn't know what was going on, and they all looked up at the new video played on the screen in a daze.
The video played on the screen connected to the cylinder brain system. It was a memory picture left in the mind of someone who saw it with his own eyes.
The young Guide stood under the screen, controlling the criminal's head with one hand, and pressing the touch screen of the cylinder brain system with the other.
The viewers discovered that the dead researcher who they had seen in photo actually appeared in the video and mixed in with the crowd.
How could he appear in the sight of another person?
Whose memory was this?
On the screen, a tall Sentinel near the bonfire stood up and walked towards the screen.
He smiled, squatted down, and said to the screen,
"Captain Ni Ji."
