Chapter Ninety-Three: Speculation
Starship Abrody.
In the screening room, the image disappeared as the last frame flashed.
Russell Hill's eyes flashed to Dandy Bag's last look, and then sighed, "He's a hero. ”
"A hero indeed." Renault replied, "After that, I followed Mr. Bager's instructions and put on the gun and pendant. I've always thought of it as a souvenir and never thought of ......."
"It turns out that the pendant was left to you by Bag." Nora sneered, "Damn, you should have told us earlier." ”
Renault took the chip out: "You see, Bagh won't let me say it." If it hadn't happened, I wouldn't have let you know. ”
"How?" Russell Hill asked, "Did this pendant get you in trouble?" ”
Renault shrugged: "They thought it was Antonia who gave it to me." ”
Russell Hill suddenly realized.
After returning to the academy with Bag's gift, Renault did not say anything about the pendant because he had been following Bag's teachings. The fact that everything that had happened in the footage also made him realize that some things were indeed problematic and not suitable for exposure.
For this reason, after accidentally discovering the pendant around Renault's neck, Nora was jealous, thinking that it was a token of love given to him by Antonia, and even Claire did not give him a good face for a while, and Nora tried to take the pendant away and destroy it, but fortunately Renault hid it in time.
Of course, Nora herself will not admit to being jealous, according to her, she is defending Claire's rights.
A not-so-wonderful misunderstanding that was finally solved until today, so much so that at this moment Nora's face turned red along with Claire's.
"Well, I'm not interested in the affairs between you men and women." Hill waved his hand and said, "I'm more concerned about this pendant." Obviously, the heart of the matter is here, and if I'm not mistaken, it's the pendant that caused it all. The question now is, how exactly did it happen, why did it happen, and who actually played a role? Pendant? Or is it a holy relic? ”
Renault and Claire looked at each other and said, "You're an expert in this area, and I'd love to hear from you." ”
"Before I can draw conclusions, I still need you to answer me a few questions. Captain Renault, I wonder if you've come into contact with any other Mind Masters other than the one in the video? ”
Renault shook his head: "After joining the army, I joined the mecha team, and I have fought some ground wars, but most of the people I faced were fanatics, warriors like war knights, and even more advanced fighters were not something I could fight against." To be honest, I don't want to face it either, I know how powerful the Protoss is, I'm not a tough guy mecha group, I can't do what they do. ”
Claire added, "Although we haven't fought against those high-level warriors of the Protoss, we have at least seen it. ”
Nora: "A regiment of lancers from the Red Star, five hundred warriors, thirty mechs, were wiped out in an encounter, and the one who killed them was a psychic master, who used a psychic storm to get them all done. ”
Hill exclaimed, "There's not that in the video. Well, what I want to say is, do you know then, is it the forehead of every spiritual master...... All of this stuff? ”
He asked, pointing to the diamond-shaped crystal on the pendant.
Claire replied, "From some of the pictures taken before, there is a sparkle on the forehead of the Master of Mind. Before, we didn't know what this shining point was, but now it seems that it is most likely crystal. ”
"That's for everybody." Ciel nodded.
He held up the crystal, his eyes narrowing slightly, "If that's the case, then maybe it can explain Captain Jerram's mutiny." ”
Renault was stunned: "You mean ......"
"Yes." Hill laughed, "I think I was wrong in my previous guess. It wasn't the energy in the relics that made Captain Jerram rebel, it was the crystal. ”
"Master of the Mind!" Claire and Nora screamed together.
At that moment, everyone came to their senses.
Russell Hill has said, "That's right. If every psychic master had such a crystal on their forehead, then there was a high probability that this crystal was the source of their psychic power. Think about it! The master of the mind is best at manipulating the mind and controlling others. Then it is very likely that this crystal also contains this kind of energy. When this energy is stimulated by some kind of stimulus, it bursts out with a bang......"
Russell Hill made a bang.
Renault understood, his eyes were dizzy, and he blurted out: "God, I really hurt them." ”
Once convinced of his innocence, even at the most critical moments, he never stopped believing in this faith, but he was finally devastated by Russell Hill's revelation of the truth.
In any case, Renault could not accept the fact that he had caused the defection of Captain Jeram and others.
Russell Hill looked at Renault with sympathy: "Yes, you hurt them, if it weren't for you, they wouldn't have betrayed." ”
Claire grabbed Renault's hand: "Renault, cheer up." You can't be blamed for this, you didn't know it was going to happen, you didn't mean to hurt them. ”
But that doesn't change that. It was I who took Bag's advice and brought the crystal with me, I thought it would bring good luck, but I didn't expect ......" Renault shook his head.
"You do bring good luck." Russell Hill replied.
Renault and the others were stunned at the same time.
Hill smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to deny yourself, even without you, they will die, but not from the betrayal caused by the crystal, but from the energy impact caused by the holy relics." ”
Renault was surprised: "You mean ......"
"That's right! This is why the crew of the Abrodius was able to receive the effects of the relic's energy unharmed. Ciel's voice suddenly became louder: "We all know that the holy relics were first found on the territory of the Protoss. Unlike us, the Protoss knew how to use the relics from the very beginning. This is also the reason why they are the Protoss, their strength, their strength comes from this. So they worship holy things and revere them holy. This is also the origin of the holy relics, am I not wrong? ”
The abundant information obtained from the research has already revealed the secret of the origin of the sacred relics. The first discovery of sacred relics by human beings was through the Protoss, and it is for this reason that they tried to use the relics like the Protoss to make themselves gods.
Unfortunately, human scientists have never been able to do this.
But at least the humans know that the Protoss can use holy relics.
"You're saying it's the crystal that keeps us from dying under the relic's energy?" Nora asked.
"That's right! Captain Jeram retrieved the reliquary chest and found it broken. In order to avoid the leakage of the relic's energy and not be discovered by others, he decided to change the box. But clearly, this is the wrong thing to do. Since the relics had been attacked before, the energy was already in a state of instability. As a result, as Captain Jeram tried to remove the relic, the energy of the relic exploded. ”
Speaking of this, Hill gasped: "This is a very large explosion, just one time consumes all the energy, so that not a single person in the entire Abrody escapes its radiation area. Under normal circumstances, all of you should be dead...... Maybe one or two of them are alive, with a 5% chance of surviving. But Renault's presence changed all that, and at the same time as the holy relic energy exploded, the mind crystal from the Mind Master on his body also exploded. Maybe it's for the purpose of protection, or maybe it's something else, but in short, it's a combination of the lethal elements of the holy thing. It's not surprising, is it? The Protoss is the only race that can use holy relics normally, so it's not surprising that the Mind Master's Mind Crystal can synthesize this lethal energy. Of course, as a side effect, although everyone survived, everyone in the conference room rebelled. ”
Claire asked, "Then why didn't the other crew of the Abrody rebel?" ”
Hill replied, "Very questionable, I personally think that the other crew members did not rebel because the radiation power of the Mind Crystal is far less extensive than that of the Holy Relic, and its radiation area is limited, only affecting the conference room area. But the overflowing energy of the holy relic was still filtered by the Mind Crystal, so everyone outside was fine. ”
"The Mind Master's area of control is not limited to this." Renault retorted.
"But it's not a psychic master either, it's just a crystal." Hill replied.
"But not everyone in the room has rebelled."
"Just as the spiritual master can't control all people, there are always some people who will resist. And because of this, they will fight. ”
"And what about Renault? Why did he lose his memory? Nora asked.
Hill said: "That's simpler, because he's the heart of the outbreak!" Being in the middle of the maelstrom, he was lucky not to die. I even suspect that Crystal is deliberately protecting him, and in this case, it is perfectly normal to have a little amnesia side effect. ”
"Protection?" Nora asked incredulously, "Do you think the crystal will protect its master?" ”
"Why not?" Hill asked rhetorically, "Don't forget that the crystal was originally taken from the body of a certain Protoss master. No one knows what the secrets of the Protoss and the relics are, and it would be foolish to stick to what we once knew in such a situation. Let your imagination run wild and you'll find that the answer is sometimes as simple as it is right in front of you. What's more, Renault was also hit by a shot before taking the box back! ”
He looked at Renault and said, "Remember the shot you hit when you got back to the ship?" It's the shot you said made you feel pain all over your body but couldn't find the injury! Perhaps change has already begun since then. The relics are stimulated and begin to spread energy, and the crystals begin to instinctively protect you. Then came Jeram's moving relic...... It's all relevant. By the way, it's because you're at the core that your power is the strongest...... I heard that you are the only first-level ghost warrior in the superpower level system established by Miss Jia, congratulations! But you don't think you can do that just by popping seeds, do you? ”
Renault, Claire and the others were stunned.
After thinking about it, Renault said: "I admit that your analysis is very reasonable, but the problem is that all this you said is speculation, it is reasoning, and there is no evidence in itself!" ”
Hill spreads his hands: "Want proof?" Simple, just do it again. ”
