Part 2 The Road to Sainthood Chapter 39 Crystals
Hill was irritable.
The case reached a dead end, and he could not find any clues other than that Captain Jeram's rebellion was related to the relics. But the problem is that this discovery was realized by Renaud and others before him. It is precisely because he is aware of this problem that he has to crack the key to all this. And there is this huge contradiction in the problem itself, which is why it affects only one part of the population, but not the other.
So what's the problem? What did the relics do to Jeram? How do you make the relics work?
None of this Hill knows.
He was just an investigator, not a scientist.
But in order to figure all this, Hill had to ask Claire for all the information on Edward's Hospital and the Tianhe Fourth Research Institute, and read them one by one. These materials are piled up and full of professional terms, and it takes Hill a lot of effort just to understand them.
But Hill had no choice, he could only grit his teeth and read hard.
Time slipped by.
Before you know it, more than thirty Earth days have passed since Hill's investigation, and there is still no breakthrough in Hill's investigation.
This annoyed him, and although he had checked every piece of information and questioned everyone on the ship, Abrody had left few meaningful clues because of the battle and the overhaul that had taken place afterwards.
Sometimes Hill can't help but wonder, will this case end here? Is it impossible for you to uncover that deep secret?
It is the perseverance and non-giving spirit of an investigator that supports him to continue to persevere.
On this day, Hill came to Renault again: "I think I think I still need something from you." ”
Renault replied: "I have told you everything I know." ”
"That's not enough." Hill shook his head and said, "Details! The key is in the details, there must be any details that we have ignored or omitted, I need you to think more carefully. ”
Renault thought seriously for a long time, but finally could only shake his head: "I really can't think of anything." ”
"There's no rush, we can take our time. You know that details can sometimes be just a casual flash of inspiration, an inadvertent little discovery. ”
Renault spread his hands helplessly: "Well, if you like, you can always follow me." If there is any problem with me, if I think of anything, I will tell you. ”
"Thank you so much."
So from this day on, Hill became a regular visitor to Renault.
He came to see Renault every day, chatted with him, talked to him, figured out his habits, learned about his bits and pieces since he joined the army, and wrote them down one by one.
Most of the time he always has a serious look, but occasionally he will talk to Renault and have a few words. As the time of acquaintance prolonged, the friendship between them gradually grew, and it was no longer as-for-tat as it was at the beginning.
Today in the sports cabin, Renault is playing tennis.
The way he plays tennis is a bit odd, not with his hands to catch a racket, but with his own telekinesis.
He has to use his telekinesis to control the racket to hit the ball out, and then use his telekinesis to control the opposite racket to hit the ball back, and play against himself, which requires high accuracy and timing of the use of telekinesis.
There are several chips attached to him, faithfully recording the data on his body, not far away Sarah is standing by a machine, watching the changes in the hologram, and farther away is Russell Hill, sitting in front of a table drinking tea, holding a stack of files and looking through it, and next to Claire is also sitting, looking at Renault seriously.
After playing for a while, Renault finally stopped.
He stepped down from the court and sat down next to Claire.
"How does it feel?" Claire handed him a drink.
Renault took a sip and drank: "Feeling? ”
He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then replied, "One who observes my behavior and wants to find out my peeing habits, and the other who looks inside me wants to number every cell in my body." How do you say I feel? ”
"It doesn't sound too bad." Claire laughs.
Sweat soaked Renault's clothes, and Renault took off his shirt, revealing strong muscles and a pendant around his neck. It was a crystal pendant, and under the silver chain fell a diamond-shaped crystal, which looked crystal clear, but unfortunately there was an elongated crack on the mirror, which caused the whole crystal to lose its value.
"It's a pity." Looking at the crystal pendant, Hill said.
Renault looked down, grabbed the pendant and said, "You mean this?" ”
Hill nodded: "Why not change one?" ”
"This is a memorial left to me by an old man."
"I see." Hill shrugged his shoulders and asked casually, "Bad when left to you?" ”
"No, this was damaged during the last battle with the gods, maybe it was caused by the overflowing energy." Renault had already taken a new piece of clothing and put it on, then carefully put the pendant back inside.
Sarah, who was doing an examination next to her, said without raising her head: "This is impossible, the energy has dispersion after overflowing, if it can penetrate and destroy your close parts, it means that your whole body has been exposed to energy radiation, it is impossible to only hurt a pendant without hurting you, and it is impossible to leave this kind of long strip-like crack, even if it is to crack, it should be that kind of divergent type, like a snowflake." ”
Renault shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Then it could be a fall." ”
Hill's heart moved, and he stretched out his hand: "Can you show me?" ”
Renault took the pendant out and handed it to Hill.
Hill held the crystal pendant and looked closely.
He asked Renault, "Can you tell me exactly when it was damaged?" ”
Renault spread his hands: "The battle is too fierce, I can't pay attention to this, and by the time I find out that it is broken, it will be three days after the battle is over." ”
Ciel's expression was serious as he looked at the crystal pendant.
"I've never seen a crystal of this style," he asked, "and it doesn't look like a normal crystal." Captain Renault, can you tell me about the origin of this thing? ”
Claire couldn't help but say, "Mr. Hill, I think you're already a little too sensitive, it's just a pendant." I don't think it has anything to do with Captain Jeram and the relics. ”
Hill shook his head and replied, "Any clue may have value until it proves useless." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Renault.
Surprisingly, Renault's expression behaved extremely strangely at that moment.
Looking at Renault's appearance, Hill realized something, and he said, "It's related to the relic, isn't it?" ”
Renaud swallowed his saliva and replied with some difficulty: "To be exact, it is not related to holy relics, but to the gods and spirits. ”
"The Gods?" Everybody's holding on.
"It was obtained from a god race, a spirit master of the god race," Renault said. ”
Master of the Mind, one of the most terrifying beings of the Divine Race.
If the Shadow Warrior is the strongest warrior who manipulates energy to attack, then the Mind Master is the king of mind control, and they may not be as ethereal and ghostly as the Shadow Warrior, but they are definitely more terrifying than the Shadow Warrior.
This peculiar energy life has a special ability, which is mind control, which can control a person's mind to serve itself. At the beginning of the war, there were a number of rebellions in the Union Army. Without exception, these rebels rebelled suddenly and without warning, and some of them were loyal soldiers.
Because the Federation Army did not know about the existence of the Mind Master at the beginning, it suffered a lot of losses, the information of military operations was leaked, and the war was attacked from behind, etc., and a series of rebellion incidents brought great damage to the Federation Army. It wasn't until the number of incidents increased, and the federal army gradually uncovered the mystery under the investigation, that they found a way to stop the infiltration of the mind master.
At this time, the Mind Master has also inflicted unprecedented damage on the Federation. Since then, Psychic Masters have occasionally appeared, but their threat has faded away. The Federation Army already knew that the Psychic Masters were unable to control beyond distance, and that the vast majority of their control was done on the ground battlefield. Due to the fact that the controlled soldiers will have certain abnormalities in physiological fluctuations. Therefore, by simply checking every soldier who has ever left the starship on their return, it will be possible to find out who is being controlled, thus minimizing the damage.
After that, the Mind Master's ability to control the Federation starship was greatly weakened.
Although the significance of the Mind Master's existence has been reduced to a minimum on the space battlefield, it is still the most formidable class of troops on the ground battlefield, and every soldier on the ground mission is therefore cautious for fear of encountering this nightmarish existence.
But now, Renault told them that the crystal had been obtained from a spiritual master of the Divine Clan, which could not but be shocking.
Claire stood up suddenly: "Master of the Mind, my God...... Captain Jeram. Renault, why didn't you say it earlier? ”
Renault shook his head: "I can't say. ”
"Why?" Claire was puzzled.
"Because that's what Dandy Bagg left me." Renault replied softly.
