Despite his mental preparation, Marshall sighed after hearing this answer.

From Claire and the others, in fact, Marshall already knows most of the situation, but what he doesn't understand is the process of killing Meghan, and it is precisely because of this that Marshall has a glimmer of hope.

It's a pity that this hope was shattered by Renault in the end.

Fortunately, because of psychological preparation, the old man was not too desperate.

He said, "Tell me about it." ”

Renault hesitated for a moment before saying, "Will you believe what I say?" I mean, what happened was so unbelievable that even I, looking back on it, felt like I was in a dream, wondering if it was real, how it happened. ”

"What could be more unbelievable than a girl who has been saved by you and then killed you in turn? You know, Alifeld is now using this to prove that his son is not strong or raped. ”

Renault nodded.

Then he recounted what had happened.

Actually, there's nothing to say, the part of Claire that they really forget, that is, the part where they are powerful.

After hearing about Claire and Nora's strange situation, the old man didn't say anything like "impossible" and "I don't believe it", and he was surprisingly silent. If all the police want to hear is Renault's personal admission to killing Meghan, then Marshall is interested in the whole affair and especially the "change" of his two granddaughters. So he just listened quietly until Renault finished telling what had happened.

"I know it sounds so bizarre and too hard to understand, and I don't know why it's happening." Renault looked at Marshall sincerely: "But believe me, what I said is true." ”

Marshall replied, "I didn't say I didn't believe you. ”

"What?" Renault was stunned.

Honestly, if Marshall had said he didn't believe it or that you were dazzled, mentally ill, etc., Renault would have felt more normal and natural. After all, this kind of thing is too anti-human.

But Maher didn't, on the contrary, he behaved very calmly, even giving Renault a feeling of "I knew it would be like this".

Renault's pupils began to dilate.

He looked at Marshall and said in disbelief, "You...... You know something, right, Dean Marshall? ”

Marshall sighed again, and he nodded, "Yes, I do know something. ”

"Which ones?"

"Megan...... And Claire...... I'm not sure I know...... Uh, I mean...... I do know something, but I'm not sure how they relate to each other, and I can't explain it all scientifically, but I can only give a logical possibility. The old man had some difficult words.

"Science has long been unable to explain everything...... Especially after the appearance of the Protoss. Renault muttered.

"Indeed, they are the source of all unscience." Marshall said: "It is also the source of all irrationality......

Marshall's voice was long and meaningful.

Renault heard the strange melody.

He looked at Maher in amazement: "You mean...... What does it all have to do with the Protoss? ”

"Do you know why the Protoss is called the Protoss?"

"Because they possess incredible superpowers, they were originally regarded as gods."

"So in the legend that the gods have a special ability, do you know what it is?"

"What?"

"Advent!" Marshall said.

——————

In 6989, humanity discovered the Protoss during an interstellar exploration of the Divine Envoy Group of Galaxies.

Since then, humans have come into contact with this race and discovered that they possess amazingly powerful abilities.

This discovery completely upended people's understanding of the universe and science, and the once-dead theology re-emerged, this time no longer spiritualistic but materialistic. As a result, the Protoss jumped onto the altar and became the object of admiration for the believers.

They believe that the Protoss is the god they have been looking for for a long time, and that the Divine Messenger Group is the heavens.

However, this blind worship only existed for a short time. Although the contact with the Protoss deepened and the understanding deepened, people gradually discovered that the Protoss was not as powerful as they thought. They only have some power that humans cannot understand for the time being, and they will also grow old, they will die, they will fear, and they will even surrender and betray!

The process of contact between human beings and the gods is actually the process of the collapse of human beings' belief in gods.

And one of the reasons for this misunderstanding is that the Protoss has the technology to descend.

As in the legend, the gods descended to mortals and walked the world as saints.

Of course, legends are just legends, and the reality in the sea of stars is that some powerful beings in the Protoss can project their consciousness onto someone and temporarily control his or her body, a way to use psychic technology, nothing remarkable. Psychic Masters, Dark Lighthouses, Wings of Light, and other Protoss all possess this means.

So when Marshall said the word Advent, Renault finally understood: "Protoss? You say that the consciousness of the gods has descended on Megan? ”

Claire said she heard Meghan praying, which was one of the prerequisites for the arrival. Meghan opened her entire heart in exchange for the power of the gods. One of the Protoss received her consciousness and descended. Of course, he doesn't intend to avenge Meghan. He doesn't care...... He just wants to kill everyone. That's the hatred of the Protoss against the Terrans! The only purpose of the Coming is to kill us all. ”

Renault gasped: "But I heard that you can't ignore the distance." Technology is not magic, and the power of the mind may be wonderful, but it must also follow the laws of the universe. ”

"That's true." Marshall said, "The Divine Envoy is too far away from the Central Star for theoretically any possibility for the Protoss to descend, unless the Master has reached some kind of conceivable transcendent realm, becoming a legendary god, or ......"

Marshall's voice went low.

"Or what?" Renault asked.

Obviously, the answer cannot be the former.

If the Protoss is really strong enough to that extent, then the war between humans and gods can already be over.

"Or maybe there's a bridge."

"Bridges?" Renault was puzzled.

Marshall replied: "Bridges connect the two shores, connecting two non-adjacent locations. The oracle and the central star are also two non-adjacent spaces, they seem to be far away, but from a cosmic perspective, they may only be separated by a river. Of course, the river may be an impassable moat for ants, but if there is a bridge, it is different. ”

"You're saying that something helped or led the Protoss? Played the role of a bridge? Renault somewhat understood.

Marshall nodded.

"What could that be?"

"The only thing that can channel the power of the mind is the power of the heart."

"You mean to say that there is some Protoss lurking in the Central Star?"

Marshall smiled: "Of course this is impossible, the Protoss does not have the ability to change others, and it is impossible for them to lurk in." ”

As the war progressed, humanity became more and more aware of the power of the Protoss, and had a rough idea of what kind of abilities they possessed. In fact, the abilities of the Protoss are not numerous, the types of their abilities are quite limited, and almost every class has its own fixed abilities. It's just that this fixed ability can exert a strong effect. And in all cognitions, the Protoss does not have the ability to change.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Protoss to have spies of their own race among the human race, they just continue to develop some "human traitors" to serve themselves.

Since Marshall denied the possibility of the Protoss, it could only be the Terrans.

"But human beings do not have the power of the mind."

"In fact...... Yes. Marshall replied.

Renault was stunned: "Who?" ”

"Didn't you just see it?"

A shadow flashed in front of Renault's eyes, and he blurted out, "Claire! ”
