The Star Knight

"It seems that Rector's influence on you." Corolin said in a deep voice, "It's deeper and more thorough than I imagined."

Opal murmured: "I only followed him for a few short years."

"Well." Cologne said: "Then you should carry out this mission for the honor and disgrace of Lie Xing and the lives of your comrades in arms. I admire heroes, and there are very few heroes in this universe. Now I put Your statement is your final rejection of the Meteor King."

Opal nodded, and Cologne said: "I respect your wishes, Opal, so I will punish you for your crime."

Opal said, "Kill me? Tell me, how do you want me to die?"

Corolin raised her eyebrows and said, "I promised Rector not to kill you."

With a drunken blush on Opal's face, he said indifferently: "Then lock me up for a lifetime?"

Corollin said: "I've thought about it, but I can only think of one best solution. Do you want to hear how I plan to execute you?"

Opal: "Say."

Corolin rested his elbows on the armrest of the throne, crossed his legs, and the black gold anklets on his ankles reflected the starlight.

"I will build the strongest cage for you." Cologne said, "Separate out with the memory armor of Tao, like a box. Inject into the sea of ​​time, soak you in this box, it will be repaired forever Your body will not let you grow old and die...and then send you to Iszur, no, to Iszur."

Opal listened quietly.

"Sent to the star." Cologne looked into Opal's eyes and said, "That is the first star I ignited with my own hands. You will sink in the tide of hydrogen and helium fusion and stay in that cage middle……"

Opal said: "But stars die eventually."

"Yeah." Cologne nodded and said: "Imprison you for 200 billion years, until the end of Iszul's life, collapse, and become a black hole, compressing you into the black hole, there is no time and no space in the black hole... "

Opal said, "There is no time."

"So you can't be said to be dead." Corollin said: "The moment you reach the critical point, time will stand still at the last moment. You are not in the past, and you will not leave the present and go to the future. Eternal existence. Your brain waves can't move, your soul can't escape, it exists forever, but it doesn't exist..."

The long period of 200 billion years is almost unimaginable for Opal.

They just looked at each other quietly, and Opal said, "Okay, farewell, Your Majesty."

He released the power of faith, which was very weak but extremely firm. It touched Corolin's thinking field lightly, but was ruthlessly blocked by him.

Corolin said indifferently: "You betrayed me, Opal, do you know how I feel at this moment?"

Opal: "I don't know, but I know this is the moment when you betrayed our teacher, his current mood."

Cologne let out a long breath, raised his right hand, caressed him, and said, "You haven't woken up yet? You must confess to me."

Opal said: "No, no, each of us insists on what we think is right."

Corolin retracted his five fingers, and Opal immediately felt a majestic force, and a pressure weighing more than a thousand catties was exerted on him, forcing him to kneel on one knee.

Opal said: "You can suppress me with your beliefs, but you can't make me say it. Even if you hypnotize me in a dream, that's not what I really want to say."

Corolin's pupils contracted slightly, Opal laughed and said without fear: "Yes, the me now is the real me."

Corolin withdrew the power of faith, squinted his eyes, and Opal murmured: "Without the power of faith, I can also know what is thinking in your heart. Do you want to see my real spiritual world?"

Opal releases all its beliefs and builds a spiritual realm.

Corolin was stunned. In front of them, the impact of belief was raging fire and lava on the one hand, and the vast, dark night and countless twinkling stars on the other.

Under the rotating starry sky stood Opal's ten-year-old body, and the starlight reflected his immature face.

"Teacher." Opal said, "Do you want to hear about my real past?"

"Speak," said Coroline, "finish it before dawn."

Opal said: "I was born on a mineral planet, that place is called B-11, you know who my father is."

Opal began to talk about his past, the starry sky flickered, he started from the first day Rector arrived in B-11, Corolin remained silent, Opal let go of his spiritual realm, until he briefly stopped , Said: "Do you know, there was once a copy of you, and his name was Raymond."

"He was born without a name, just saw a label and gave himself a name."

"He has no past and doesn't believe he has a future."

"He just followed the inherent memory in your genes, was subconsciously driven to Lie Xing, and walked your old path unconsciously..."

"He wants to perform genetic surgery on me so that I can live longer, be with him, and live my whole life..."

Opal said: "But he died at your hands in the end. Like our other comrades-in-arms, you don't even know their names, and you only used one light shot to turn them into ashes and floating dust..."

Cologne murmured: "So that's it, Opal. Everything has finally been explained. At first I just thought you were sent by Legerson, a spy selected from Lie Xing. After all, you behaved too badly for me. Common sense, I have spent a lot of thought on you, just want to get rid of his influence on your memory... Later I learned that you were an undercover agent sent by Rector, and I didn't expect that there was such a relationship. Replicant? I think This is just a joke made by Legerson to you, Opal."

"I've never created any clones of myself. How crazy do you think a person must be to take the initiative to copy himself?"

Opal was taken aback for a moment.

Corolin smiled and said: "So you were once again deceived by Legerson. He deceived everyone by creating a false memory for you. And my poor little apprentice, there are no replicants at all, and there are no replicants. There is no B-11 star, there is no Raymond you said...it's just a false memory he wove in your mind, he carefully prepared an unforgettable love for you, and wrote the most useful ending for it. Then , he pushed you in front of me."

"You didn't make him?!" Opal loudly said, "This is impossible! Raymond is real!! He is not a fabricated memory!"

Corolin smiled helplessly: "Forget it, Opal, you think you have experienced an unforgettable life, but in fact they are all a touching and tearful script written by Legerson."

"He didn't know what method he used to lure you to the Temple of the Stars, erase all your memories before that, and stuff you into a new life he created, so the moment you wake up, you believe Everything is true. Why is Rector so lukewarm to you? It's very simple, because he didn't know you at all before you obtained these memories, and you are not his apprentice, but chosen by Legerson. Another spy after Aurora Falcon. Everything is fake, you have been deceived."

"It's impossible...it won't be!" Opal felt dizzy for a moment, as if he had grasped some key point, he said, "No! I'm sure that Raymond once existed! Everyone who knows him remembers Him!! All..."

Suddenly Opal remembered something.

When he came to work as an undercover agent, Legason said that he would modify the memories of all people related to Opal so as not to reveal the truth, that is to say, about Raymond...

Corinne said: "Any other ideas? Opal."

Opal couldn't help trembling, Cologne said: "Before executing you, I am still your teacher, and you are still my most beloved disciple, Opal, if you have any problems, you may wish to ask the teacher for help, maybe I can solve it for you ?”

Opal said in a trembling voice: "Legison did modify all the memories, no one can prove it, but I don't believe... Raymond's existence is not fake. Raymond..."

Corollin said: "Impossible, he doesn't have such a great ability, and how does he know that anyone has seen Raymond? It is obvious that the guy Lejason never understands what love is, he only loves himself. He is simple, Cutting corners and drawing an emotional object for you in the memory world without sincerity. According to what you just said, that thing named Raymond is just an empty shell. I don’t know why he fell in love with you, let alone why you Falling in love with him is due to the fact that people who make up memories are being lazy, but I think you are too eager for love. You have been lonely since you were a child, and a little bit of affection for you can make you respond crazily. Ledger Sen weaves a love scene full of loopholes, and you really fall in love with this imaginary lover... Maybe I also played a lot of roles?"

"No, no." Opal murmured.

Corolin said coldly again: "Recter's influence on you is to make you preconceived, and you become as stubborn as him, so that you turn a blind eye to the care I show and the dedication I have given to you..."

Opal said: "Impossible, at least give me a proof so that I can believe it."

Corolin said casually: "Leggerson modified everyone's memory? I'm afraid not necessarily, I believe there are a few guys he can't move. Do you want evidence? Just give it to you."

"First of all." Cologne said: "Wrench has already succeeded the mercenary king. It is estimated that it will be difficult for Legerson to directly influence him."

"Yes!" Opal said, "Leggerson can't get near the wrench."

"Not necessarily." Cologne looked into Opal's eyes with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Even Azeroth was killed by me, and it is not impossible to enter the Meteor Building, except for the wrench , there is one more person..."

"Karens!" Opal said, "Karens, the morning star! He also met Raymond. Although it was just a chance meeting, he still heard me talk about Raymond."

Corolin narrowed her eyes and remained silent for a moment, with a slightly strange expression on her face, as if she had thought of something.

Then he whispered, "Is this trying to buy your time? Don't play smart in front of me, you know I can't get Cullens in front of me, and I can't read his mind, but I want to take some time I can verify this, but before that, I will send you to the stars first."

"No... at least I have to figure this out before I die." Opal said, "Teacher, don't do this."

Cologne said calmly, "Then I should lock you up first, so that you will never know the answer to this question. This is enough to punish you. Get ready to go, Opal, to meet your death and eternal life. "

Opal panted quickly, and thought of another thing: "Otherwise, the place we have been to, the ivory tower No. 2 test site, will leave traces, you can go and see."

When Opal said this, his heart was filled with sudden panic, what if there is really nothing on that planet? "

Corolin said: "I don't intend to run so far. Maybe Rector and Legerson are setting up a trap there, waiting for me to fall into the trap. Is this your serial plan?"

Opal: "..."

Corollin said coldly: "Beg for mercy, and confess to me. Otherwise, you will never get the answer, or in fact, you already know it very clearly in your heart."

Opal was silent for a while, and said, "Don't do this, teacher."

After a long silence, Cologne let out a long sigh.

Cologne said: "The fire of your belief has been completely extinguished, I pity you, because you once relied on me wholeheartedly, now I think there may be another person who is locked in my private prison, the Sunshine Twins One of them, Jimison, has he seen your imaginary lover? According to what you said, he should have seen it in the Southgate Galaxy, and I remember they killed my personal guard captain Black Eagle on the Star of Eternal Day."

"Jimison!" Opal said, "Yes! He's still there!"

Opal finally found his lifeline.

There was sympathy in Corolin's eyes. I don't know whether he was sympathizing with Opal or himself. He said: "According to your description, your commissions at that time overlapped. And Legerson didn't have this ability yet, so he ran to my office. site to change the prisoner's memory."

Opal said: "Ask him, he must remember Raymond, and Raymond has met them more than once... Yes! Ask him! Let him come over."

Cologne stood up and said, "Are you sure you want him to come? I guess Jimison probably wants to die with me. In order not to splatter the blood of your comrades on the spot, I think it's best for me to meet him, Opal." , do you want to come together?"

Opal looked at Corolin, and felt a surge of fear in his heart, which was unprecedented. The fear of his belief being shaken most strongly, seemed to question everything about him in an instant, his soul, his life, and his past. with his future.

"You're scared in your heart." Cologne smiled and said, "Then stay here, and the teacher will definitely give you a clear answer."

He left the Hanging Gardens and went to the prison, leaving Opal alone in the hall.
