Cannon fodder dressed as a disabled marshal

royal palace.Banquet hall.

When Shen Qiran first stepped onto the bandstand, he had already attracted the attention of many people. After he played the music, more and more people turned their attention to this place, and they were all surprised.

"Madam Marshal actually played spiritual music?"

"What song is this? It sounds so good."

"As expected of Mr. R, the spiritual music he plays is no worse than his non-spiritual music, they are all so beautiful."

At the main table on the second floor, Esther had already seen Shen Qiran's appearance on the stage.Shen Qiran usually improvises a few pieces of music at banquets, which has become his habit, so Esther didn't pay attention to it, until he found out that the other party was actually playing spiritual music, he frowned slightly.

"It turns out that Marshal's wife is not only good at non-spiritual music." Her Royal Highness was also attracted by Shen Qiran's music, and looked downstairs in surprise, "I've never heard this song before, is it also his original creation?"

"I haven't heard it either." Isaiah was also very curious, "This is the first time I've heard him play spiritual music."

The effect of the spiritual power music is closely related to the player's spiritual power level. Shen Qiran is now at S level, and the effect of this music is very mysterious. The two complement each other. Soon there is no voice in the banquet hall, and everyone can't help but Being led into a wonderful and dreamy world by the music, I almost forgot where I was.Even Esther, who wasn't interested in spiritual music, was swayed and couldn't help being intoxicated by it.

Among all the people, only the eldest prince Aix is ​​not addicted. After his spiritual consciousness is damaged, it is difficult to resonate with the spiritual music. No matter how strong the spiritual power in the music is, it will have little effect on him.He stared at the people on the bandstand, and suddenly frowned slightly.

It doesn't seem quite right.

He saw that Shen Qiran's face was slowly turning pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, as if he was enduring pain, but the people around him were fascinated by the music, and no one noticed his abnormal state.

Suddenly someone exclaimed, centering on the bandstand, a violent storm suddenly set off, blowing away all the people around. The center of the storm was Shen Qiran who was still frowning and playing the music.

"It's mental power runaway!" The eldest prince Aix stood up suddenly, his pupils trembled, no one knew the danger at this time better than him, because this was something he had really experienced before, and he would never Forget, "He's raising the level of mental power!"

But he remembered that Shen Qiran's spiritual power level was A level, and it could produce a storm that would affect the people around him, at least it should be something that can only be done after S level. Why did this happen when he was still promoted?

Could it be...he was already at S rank, and the promotion at this time is from S rank to SS rank? ?

Everyone who was intoxicated by the music woke up one after another. Her Royal Highness, who had personally experienced the disaster of the eldest prince, naturally knew how dangerous the situation was, and immediately ordered: "Go and call the healer!"

As soon as the words fell, someone suddenly let out a scream, and the source of the sound was——

"His Royal Highness Esther?!"

"Esther?! What's wrong with you??"

"Quick, call the medical officer!"

Upstairs and downstairs in the banquet hall were in chaos, Esther pressed his forehead, and the great pain caused him to roll off the chair directly. Someone wanted to help him, but he pushed him away.Amidst the continuous sound of the music, Esther stumbled to the fence with red eyes, and stared at the people on the bandstand downstairs.

At this time, Shen Qiran was not having a good time either. The reason why he could continue playing the piece of music was entirely dependent on the special control of this piece of music.Sensing the cold gaze full of hatred from above, Shen Qiran raised his head. He looked at the people upstairs and smiled slightly.

For this moment, he has prepared for a long time.

Kenzer told him that the best choice for ethnicity is to surrender and accept; Esther also told him: Allegiance to me is your only choice.

So he did.

But what he didn't tell them was that he was not a normal ethnic group.

Shen Qiran cryptically asked Kenze a few times, and found that for some reason, he and Kenze were of different races, and the parasitic black eggs in his spiritual consciousness sea didn't seem to have taken root. Although it existed, it didn't have any vitality. It's just a medium to maintain the connection between him and the second emperor.

Without "that voice", although Shen Qiran still had to obey the group consciousness, he would not have a pair of eyes to monitor or even control his various behaviors in real time.It is true that he can't resist the second emperor Esther, but as long as his thoughts are free, he can think of many other things.

For example, when Esther absorbs the power of her spiritual sea of ​​consciousness through the black silk spread from the parasitic black eggs, Shen Qiran is thinking: It is said that "the effect of force is mutual", since Esther can use the black silk to grab her own nutrients and Power, under certain extreme circumstances, can he absorb the opponent's power in reverse?If there is a drastic change in his spiritual consciousness, will the second emperor also be affected by the existence of the "black silk channel"?

In order to verify this conjecture, when his spiritual power was promoted from A-level to S-level, Shen Qiran specifically begged Esther to assist him in the promotion. When the spiritual power transmitted by the other party guided him, Shen Qiran finally determined: the spiritual consciousness of both parties It is interoperable, relying on the "black silk channel", the other party can also transmit power back to itself.

Then, Shen Qiran studied a large number of cases where the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness was accidentally damaged during promotion. Among them, the incident of the First Prince was the most famous, with the most relevant details and research literature, so he focused on it for a while.At the same time, relying on his experience working in the mental power research center and the data framework of the research center, he recorded the changes in his mental power in detail, and roughly estimated the time when he will be promoted to the next level of mental power.

But these preparations alone are still far from enough. The most critical link is that Esther taught Xia Shuyun the knowledge of playing "Moon God" to him.

Esther is not good at opening other people's sea of ​​spiritual knowledge. Shen Qiran has long guessed that when he finds the next target, he will most likely use his own strength.As he expected, after gaining enough trust in himself, Esther easily handed over this "killer weapon".So Shen Qiran cautiously suppressed the critical point of his mental power breakthrough until today, finally in the last song, let go of the shackles of the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, allowing himself to be promoted suddenly.

The song "Moon God" requires two people to play at the same time to arouse spiritual resonance and then open up the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness. Therefore, Shen Qiran's solo performance will only make people in the banquet hall feel strongly attracted, but will not Affect their spiritual consciousness.

But Esther is different.

Because of the connection of the "Black Silk Channel", the spiritual seas of Esther and Shen Qiran are "communicated". Shen Qiran made a slight change to the original song of "Moon God", so that when he plays, he can naturally open the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness , which means that Esther's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness has also opened a channel.

Everything is ready, the last thing Shen Qiran has to do is to let himself "out of control" when his mental power is promoted, and cause a mental storm in the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness.

Yes, from the very beginning, he didn't want to be promoted successfully, he only wanted to fail in the promotion, and it would be best to destroy the entire sea of ​​spiritual consciousness like His Royal Highness did.

When the raging storm stirred up the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness and set off violent shocks, the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness that Esther had opened was inevitably affected.He could have closed the channel, but it was too late. The storm in Shen Qiran's spiritual consciousness sea was like a strong vortex, an unfathomable black hole, which greedily devoured all the energy of spiritual power, and the spiritual power on Esther's side was also strengthened. The suction force of the storm was involved in it, and it was continuously poured into Shen Qiran's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness.

——This is the ethnic group's "backlash" against the second emperor.

Absolute control also represents absolute bondage. The two have become grasshoppers tied to a thread. In the end, either the mental storm cut off the "black silk channel" and let Shen Qiran regain his freedom; Se was drained of his mental power and became a cripple, and Shen Qiran would also destroy his sea of ​​spiritual consciousness because he couldn't control his mental power and run away. No one should think about it.

The headache felt like it was about to split open, and even the body felt the pain of impending collapse. In a trance, Shen Qiran seemed to hear Shao Xing's voice again, which was said to him during the last call.

——If you have an inseparable concern in your heart, no matter how difficult it is to move forward, there will always be a way out, a glimmer of hope.

——With this obsession, you will never get lost.

I did it.Shen Qiran thought.

I did not repeat the mistakes of the original owner, I did not betray you and hurt you, I did not let the plot arrange and bow to the established fate.

I love you, I don't want to be your enemy, this is my obsession, and it is also my only way out.

Esther's painful howl came from the second floor again. He wanted to use the sub-emperor's coercion to order Shen Qiran to stop, but it didn't help at all. The mental storm would not be stopped by human will.The violence/chaos of mental power made Esther extremely painful, countless frantically wandering blood spots protruded from his blue eyes, his back began to squirm, until he suddenly tore his clothes, and opened a pair of sharp knife cicada wings.

The group consciousness makes the sub-kings always pay attention to hiding the secrets of the Zerg race in human society, but the sub-kings still retain a part of human will after all.

The strong survival instinct of human beings is not weaker than the suppression of the Zerg group consciousness.

At the same time that Esther opened his cicada wings, Kenze, who had been secretly vigilant, threw down the queen and Isaiah who were closest to Esther. Passed over, leaving a deep wind blade on the wall behind.

So far, there is only one way for Esther to save herself.

He must sever the connection with Shen Qiran's spiritual consciousness, that is to say, he must remove Shen Qiran from his ethnic group.

There is only one way for the second emperor to remove the ethnic group: let the ethnic group die.

He flapped the cicada wings on his back and swooped down from the second floor. Shen Qiran had to stop playing the music and rolled to avoid the opponent's fatal blow, but when he was about to stand up, he quickly fell to his knees again go down.

He was a little bit overwhelmed.

The promotion from S-level to SS-level is extremely dangerous, not to mention that he is still rushing all the way in the direction of death. The sea of ​​spiritual consciousness is crumbling in the violent storm of mental power. He is so painful that he hardly feels it. Himself, Esther with a murderous look on his face.

look.

He panicked, he was afraid, he was anxious.

What is the absolute control of the sub-emperor over the ethnic group, what is the supreme ethnic group consciousness of the Zerg, heh, it is nothing more than that... well.

When his chest was pierced, Shen Qiran spit out a big mouthful of blood. He gave his "Second Emperor" a final contemptuous smile, and then, like Xia Shuyun back then, his figure disappeared little by little, as if being erased by an eraser. No trace was left.

——The final result is either that the mental storm cuts off the "black silk channel" and allows oneself to regain freedom; or both sides suffer, no one can think about it.

But in fact, in Shen Qiran's presupposition, there is a third result.

That may be the worst outcome, but it is also the best and best outcome.

——In order to kill himself, Esther will expose his identity as the second emperor.

If everything follows the original plot and his fate of death is unavoidable, then he hopes that his death will be more valuable: as long as Esther is found to be in collusion with the Zerg, this huge dark net shrouded in the human world will be uncovered , exposing the truth that was already covered with dirt, and the rest... that person, who became the thorn in the side of the Zerg Queen, who was destined to fight the Zerg forever, naturally, would do it for himself.

***

On the distant desolate star, in the icy closed spiritual cabin, Shao Xing's dream that seemed to happen in real life continued.

The person standing at the door suddenly looked at the sky filled with gray fog. After a while, he retracted his gaze and repeated calmly again.

"Shao Xing, I'm leaving."

"Where are you going?" Shao Xing eagerly wanted to walk over. The two were clearly close at hand, but they seemed to be separated by thousands of rivers and mountains. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get to that person's side.

"Have you forgotten what day is today?" the man said, "Today is the day when our agreement expires. We are no longer husband and wife, but two people who have nothing to do with each other."

"No." Shao Xing shook his head, "You can't go, you said you wouldn't let go!"

The man was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, I broke my promise." He lifted the small suitcase at his feet, as if he was about to travel far, "My time is up, I really have to go."

"No! I don't allow you to go!" The road under his feet suddenly became clear, and Shao Xing finally crossed the invisible barrier and ran to hug him tightly.

"Qiran, don't go. Don't go!" He hugged the other party very tightly, for fear that if he was not careful, the other party would melt into the surrounding gray fog and completely disappear before his eyes.

"Are you blaming me? Blame me for being late? Blame me for making you wait so long? You can punish me however you want, but don't leave, don't leave me, okay?"

The person in his arms let him hug quietly, without much reaction.After a while, the man seemed to raise his head again, as if he was listening to something, and said softly.

"My time is up, let me go, Shao Xing." He said, "You said, you will not stop me, I can choose to go wherever I want, choose to do whatever I want."

"I regret it." Shao Xing stubbornly refused to let go, "I'm not that great, I can't let you go...you have to stay, I won't let you go!"

He heard the man sigh softly. The man seemed troubled, and it took him a long time to speak.

"I never really promised you anything."

"I never said I would stay forever."

"This is not my home, and the 'me' you know is not the real me."

"The story between you and me is over."

He pushed lightly, and Shao Xing involuntarily let go of his hand. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't touch the corner of the other party's clothes.The man raised his left hand, took off the silver wedding ring, and gently put it into Shao Xing's palm.

"Goodbye."

He showed Shao Xing a gentle smile for the last time, then picked up the small suitcase and walked towards the distance filled with gray mist.

"Qi Ran!!!"

……

The scene is confused, light and shadow change, time passes, space is subverted, and the chaotic spiritual world suddenly stagnates in the disordered rules, then shrinks sharply, and finally condenses, fades, disappears, and is absorbed by all.

In the boundless darkness, after ten months of training, the black-haired man lying in the closed cabin finally opened his eyes slowly.

The author has something to say: However, the story here is over, and I will write about Mr. Shao's situation later, and I will probably need to write two chapters... If you can't read the plot of the abuse attack, please avoid thunder, and after this episode is over, you will be sweet again!

Thanks to the two little angels, Bee Ka Bee Ka Ka Ka Sauce and Believers, for throwing thunder!Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
