People's Federation will live forever

This beautiful girl stood quietly beside her. At this time, she took off her hood and finally revealed her true face. Between her beautiful features, there was a faintly visible stitching gap between her ears and her snow-white neck.The girl finally spoke, but her voice was more mature than expected.

"It's not accurate to say that. In the era of the old earth government, the Unification Church was a secret group composed of politicians and scientists, although we covered the entire cabinet at that time."

The rebellion 200 years ago has changed a lot. "Because most of the Allied Defense Forces rebelled, after the UEG seized power, most of the middle-level members of the former government chose to surrender, and the last fleet loyal to the Federation disappeared. As the highest institution of the Federation , Most of the cabinet members died in the orbital bombing of Geneva, and the rest escaped and organized the present Guiyi Church."

In the past, the Unification Church was a secret society, but now, it has taken root deeply in this society.This information is by no means accessible to ordinary people, and it can even be said that no one except the top leaders of the Guiyi Sect knows about this secret matter, so when Ms. Teresa said this, Isaac suddenly felt at a loss.

"Is there any difference?" Isaac was puzzled, and then became fierce, "You are still a cult that worships the seal of the gods. I have seen how you deceive the public. The key is that you spread necromorphs, and you kill people. Killed a lot of people!"

"If you mean the Ishimura, it wasn't us who spread the word, it was the crew that brought the Necromorphs from the colony on board, actually. The Church was supposed to take action on this, but the UEG troops came faster than us. "Girl... no, let's call her Teresa. Her tone and expression at this time have nothing to do with a girl. Even her height seems to have grown a bit taller without knowing it. "Once upon a time Govt started, church has enough understanding about necromorphs but UEG is different. If you mean everything that happened in titan city, I can only tell you that imitations made by UEG fools with poor technology and no control , the leak occurred during the chaotic period when the People's Federation troops arrived."

"What?" Isaac was shocked, "You actually have the face to say that all this has nothing to do with you, but you are obviously lunatics who worship the seal of God!"

"Boy, have you ever wondered why the God Seal has existed for hundreds of years, why have you never heard of a large-scale necromorph outbreak?"

Bishop Teresa looked down at Isaac and said contemptuously:

"It is because of our efforts. We are the oracles of the sect. We are responsible for studying the power of the seal of God, and we act in the dark to control its harm. We have been protecting this seal for hundreds of years. world!"

PS: Ah, it’s not good to have too many perspectives from God, you have to look at it from the perspective of the person involved, my friends.

Chapter [171] Langton is a good man

After a long silence, Isaac grinned and laughed——

Then he roared ferociously:

"Do you think I will believe your nonsense? Now I know why you often organize human sacrifices. Thank you for telling me just now, how many innocent people have you used for experiments in the past few hundred years? Let you know so much about necromorphs of!"

As soon as the nun under the white robe moved, a hand stopped in front of the lady—it prevented Teresa from moving forward, and it also stopped the nun's words that were about to blurt out.

"Ms. Teresa, it seems that your organization doesn't have a good impression of Mr. Clark. If that's the case, leave it to me."

Langston smiled, looking extremely patient.Teresa looked at the man with a tense face, and after a while, the nun's expression calmed down, and she said coldly: "You are wasting your time, Leader Langdon, even if there is no one like him Immunity, we can also start the expedition, there is no shortage of such people among us oracles! Let me lead the team, when we get the results."

"I still need the help of you Oracles to keep an eye on Matthew Bunker. You can't easily disperse your power right now, my dear Teresa. Besides, I don't like to force." Langton winked at the nun Eyes, "Just do me a favor, go see the underground array workers, and clean up if necessary."

Teresa nodded "reluctantly", and then left the room, and as the door closed, Langton finally took out his pack of cigarettes from his clothes.One for myself and one for Isaac.

At this time, his eyes caught sight of the sign on the wall that smoking is strictly prohibited in the ward: "These are all nonsense. There is nothing more rejuvenating than a cigarette when you are nervous."

Isaac held the cigarette with a dazed expression on his face.Langton on the opposite side lit himself on fire, and then took the initiative to hand over the fire—if one ignores the fact that he is the leader of the Republican Army, it feels pretty good, and does not put any other pressure on Isaac.

"I think you have heard a lot of rumors outside about what kind of person I am."

While puffing out the smoke, Langdon cut to the chase.

"I haven't heard too much. I have been imprisoned in Titan City for the past two years." Isaac didn't understand the meaning of Langton's question, and he was a little uneasy as he squeezed a lit cigarette, "But someone said that the Republic The army chief is a madman..."

"The guards around me don't want me to know, but I can more or less guess what kind of words it will be." Langton's expression remained unchanged, "But my guards are too worried, I don't care about these slanders. I don’t care. And they are right, after all, if it wasn’t for a lunatic who treats worldly ideas like waste paper and refuses to be restrained, how could he completely smash the old world? Calling me a lunatic is well deserved.”

After such a self-deprecating period, Langton raised his legs and looked at the other party: "Mr. Clark, I feel close to you, because you and I have some experiences that others cannot understand."

Some unspeakable experiences, after all, others would not believe it, but there are some differences, because Isaac, your experience is understandable after all, after all, you met me.

"I have to say, I understand you, you may not believe it, but it is true - I understand the resentment, pain and anger in your heart." Langton closed his eyes and took a deep breath, " You said, there are so many people in this world, why did the disaster fall on me? What did we do wrong, to be teased by others, to endure so much terror, why can’t we even hold our own lives in our own hands superior?"

He stood up, approached Isaac and put a hand on his shoulder: "Why did you have to suffer this, this disaster was not caused by you, but take away the one you love, and let yourself be dragged into this abyss? Isaac, don't you wonder about it all, hate it in your heart, and want an answer?"

"I want!" The engineer stood up, "I want the murderers of all these to pay the price! UEG, Guiyijiao, Shenyin! I want them to take responsibility for all this, I..."

"So, how do you do it? What are you going to do to get justice for your girlfriend?"

Langton's eyes fixed on Isaac, who was taken aback for a moment, and then didn't know what to say.

"UEG has a powerful army, and Unification Church has billions of believers, what do you have, Isaac, what do you use to seek revenge from them?"

Single-handedly with a gun to seek revenge on them?or...

"I want to reveal the truth about the seal of God to the public, there must be justice in this world..."

Isaac murmured, while Langton on the side had already laughed out loud, coughing from the smoke while laughing.He ridiculed Isaac so unabashedly, making the latter pale, and his heart became more sad, but also ignited anger: "I thought the Republican Army was different from UEG, but you are in the same rank as the Guiyi Sect! I..."

"Isaac, you can continue to rage, fight against the world and fail completely, or calm down and take a look at another path."

Before Isaac could speak, Langton raised a finger: "What I'm going to say next, you can just treat me as a lunatic leader talking nonsense, anyway, I already have such a reputation, I don't mind adding more .”

This is a, not a long story.

"I have also spent decades of ignorance like you, and then I also stepped into the trap of fate."

"I did a lot of soul-searching about my first death, and then I decided I wasn't strong enough. I tried to be a fighter, I learned to survive a fight, I tried my best to stay alive - and then I died gone."

Death, the final result of how many people can't comprehend it, I have comprehended it, not only that, but I am also very familiar with it.And it was this bloody pain and death that really taught him the truth of the world.

"You don't need to believe that I am a person who lives and dies, and I just use my own experience to tell you that this world is unfair, Isaac, and there is no one who distinguishes between good and evil for the final judgment." God! You will not be rewarded in heaven if you are a good person all your life, and you will not be punished by hell if you are a bad person all your life. Only by being alive can you be liquidated. The meaning of survival is survival itself—Isaac, you My girlfriend is dead when she dies, and you can't appease her soul by taking revenge for her, because if she has a soul, she will go to another world, just like me, she can't see it."

"You can only soothe the pain in your own heart and make up for her guilt. But the reality is that she and all the dead no longer exist in this world, and no matter what you do, you can only return to the world." You yourself, but Isaac, what have you got?"

UEG has an army, the Unified Church has believers, what do you have?

"I..."

"You are just an ordinary person, just like me in the past."

Langston took Isaac's hand, then let it go.During this process, Isaac has always been very passive. Maybe Isaac is such a person. He doesn't take the initiative. He always listens to other people's words and is pushed away.

But this time, every word the other party said fell into his mind-"You and I used to fight with these hands, but you got deeper and deeper like falling into a swamp, and our fate is the same. Ai Sac, if this goes on, not only will you not be able to take revenge, but you will only put yourself in it unless you find a new way."

"new road?"

"Correct."

Langton turned around: "Matthew Bunker, who defected to UEG, used my organization, and the Unification Church wanted to use me to turn around. How could I not know? But objectively speaking, I got Matthew Bunker fleet, and above the church as a secular person—I used to be like you, but I was able to hold your two enemies in my hands, why do you say?"

"..."

"Because I am no longer a single soldier, I am now the leader of a group, and I have power - this is the most powerful force in the world!"

Langton clenched his fists and looked at Isaac firmly: "I can avenge you now, as long as I give an order, the planner of the Stone Village incident can be hanged on the gallows, but if only What can you do by yourself? I can easily do what you would never do with your whole life. Do you understand, Isaac, if you want justice to be done, you have to be in a high position, otherwise it will all be nothing. !"

Power is the only guarantee of justice!

"NO! THIS... THIS IS NOT CORRECT!"

Isaac wanted to argue a few words, but Langton didn't stop him, but after a while, Isaac couldn't say anything.

What can he say, can he defeat UEG and Guiyijiao by himself?He knows that the god seal is not a good thing, but besides that, how much does he know about the god seal?

"You and Guiyijiao..."

"I didn't believe what they said, and they knew that I didn't believe it. Everyone used each other to show their cards as late as possible in this season. By the way, their senior management didn't believe what they preached. Everyone was out Out of utilitarianism, I just want to use the power of the seal of God."

Remember Dr. Hideo Ishimura, the developer of the Impact Point wormhole engine, who mastered the gravity equation?His scientific discoveries that spanned the ages actually came from the infusion of the memory of the God Seal, which is full of secrets.This is an extremely advanced alien creation, and it is likely to be a good medicine to end the ills of human civilization - just imagine a world with infinite energy, what a wonderful world it can create if it is shared with everyone unconditionally!

Isaac and Langton argued fiercely several times, but the leader of the Republican Army was far more eloquent than imagined. Unlike the impression in the legend, Langton calmly answered Isaac's questions one by one. explain.

"We believe that there are many undiscovered technologies in the God Seal, but I also know how dangerous this thing is. If you get close to it for even a few seconds, brainwashing and mutation will occur, so I asked to formulate strict operating regulations."

Fear comes from the unknown, and the more you know, the more confident you will be.The operation mechanism of the God Seal is complex and simple. When it is too rigid like a machine, keep a safe distance, use remote mechanical operation, and use electromagnetic shielding walls to completely avoid the risks.

For this, I even have to thank Isaac, "UEG has built god seals in most of the colonies relying on the information extracted from you in the past two years, and the hills on the outskirts of Hyperion are the same... Don't worry, I How is it possible to make the mistake of Titan City? Now there are nuclear warheads attached to it."

Langton lightly brought up this topic: "Isaac, if we want to create a new world, we must rely on the development of technology so that most people can live a happy life, but if our resources are still so scarce, then only Will go back to the old way - so, Isaac, I need you to help me, help me unlock the secret of the seal, and..."

Langton suddenly lowered his body and lowered his voice so that only Isaac could hear: "I need you to help me monitor them if you don't trust the Unified Church. I'm already trying to reform the Unified Church, but They have some tricks, and some of them are doing me wrong. I want to get rid of them, can you come and help me?"

To help, or not to help?

Isaac felt that his mind was in a mess, and he just muttered, "How can I help?"

"Whoever masters the secret of the God Seal will be the final winner. I hope to use the technology of the God Seal to create a better world, but if the Guiyi Sect gets ahead of me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control them after so much effort." There will be more waves." Langton pulled the chair over and sat down in front of Isaac, "It's not difficult, General Matthew Bunker found a document from the historical records of the Land Guard Navy as his The troops challenged the People’s Federation’s compensation without authorization.”

It seems that there is an unknown fierce struggle within the "United" Republican Army.

"There are still too many unknowns about the technology of the God Seal, we must have enough understanding of it. As early as 200 years ago, the Old Earth Federation began to try to find the birthplace of the God Seal, and they sent a fleet to wear it passed through the Oort Nebula, and finally never appeared again—there must be something there."

Langton lit a cigarette again, crossed his legs and said, "Matthew found out the voyage records 200 years ago, pointing to a galaxy called Tafrantis, located in the dense and impenetrable Orr Behind the special nebula. In the past we did not have a ship capable of crossing such a long distance, but now we have the Ishimura, and more importantly, we have you—since there may be the source of the seal of the gods, then there is a ship like you If people who are not affected by the seal of God join, I think there will be greater confidence.”

Isaac blinked, and suddenly, he saw Nicole—the glowing Nicole standing behind Langton and looking at him with a smile on his face.

And said softly:

[He's a good guy, trustworthy, isn't he, Isaac? 】

PS: The character of Isaac Clarke is also set as an ordinary person in the original work, especially in the first and second generations.He has no opinion and is pushed around by people. A series of psychological struggles at the end of the second generation made him improve a lot, but it is still limited. He can get rid of Ellie in anger, and then he can't plug in the light bulbs of John and Ellie. The words are still being squeezed out, I believe that I am not less angry with all players, including cloud players.

People call him the strongest engineer, but he is not a character like Marcus who faces the tragedy and bears the burden. On the contrary, Isaac is a character immersed in tragedy.At this point, from the point of view of character creation, Dead Space is unqualified.

The good news is that this book's Marcus didn't face the tragedy of his fellow man, brother, father, wife and child.

Where is Isaac?

Vote to decide! (pun intended)

Chapter [172] Negotiations failed, preparations...

Mother Teresa put on her hood and walked slowly along the narrow corridor.

The underground space is not wide, and due to the design for safety, there is no plan to stuff too many people here.The narrow road can only accommodate three people walking side by side. If there are guards on both sides of the road on the way to the elevator, then one person can just walk through it.

In short, no matter what happens in this underground, the only road has been restricted to this one road, and only one rifle is needed to block all paths.This kind of design is still the best strategy against spies, and any entry and exit cannot be concealed from the eyes of the security personnel, and it is also crucial for the current work of the Unified Church and the Republican Army here.

The nun's emblematic face is hidden under a veil that also obscures the expression.Teresa had no complaints about her being taken out of Isaac's ward by Langton to "inspect" the basement.At present, the Guiyi religion in the first quadrant is completely subordinate to the leadership of the Republican Army, but in fact this is inevitable-for their teachings that focus on life and death, the focus is on death rather than life, so Guiyi A religion is doomed to be a parasite of society rather than a manager of society.

Therefore, after UEG, the Republican Army is the only option when the People's Federation is no longer possible.Don't say that Langton gave her an order as a subordinate, it is an even more excessive request, which is meaningful to the church and he should implement it - Teresa would warn herself like this, but sometimes she also thinks that if she puts aside the orders of the church, How would you think of Langdon?

The nun walked towards the elevator silently, and the guards erected on both sides of the road were like logs, and they didn't even turn their heads when she came.If it is not clear, I am afraid that these people under the RIG armor will have to be regarded as sculptures, but the nun is not interested in these ordinary guards.Langton placed his personal guards on the upper floor of the building, while the oracle troops of the church were still on the tarmac. Obviously, the leader of the Republican Army did not trust the church enough, so he had to find an opportunity to make Langdon and the church imprisoned. firmly tied together...

Suddenly, Teresa stopped.

Her gaze moved down to the corner of the wall—the walls of this facility are white, just like the incandescent lights above the head shining on the walls and then returning to the eyes of people, an unobstructed white world.

But it has some incongruities, which are invisible to ordinary people. Human eyes only have [-] million pixels, and they will not find anything in the shadowless light environment in this damn corridor without relying on equipment. .But Mother Teresa is different, her eyes are different from ordinary people.

At the corner of the wall, there is a "bug" of the same color as the wall crawling.It is a little smaller than a grain of rice, and it is completely transparent. Only when the light passes through its body, and people have to be very close can they see the soft six legs of the transparent bug, and the fibrous inner workings. structure.

Even if you are not an entomologist, you should know that this is not a common insect. Besides, Hyperion is not the earth. Even in the ecological circle of the earth, there are only species like cockroaches that have not become extinct, right?

Teresa kicked at the base of the wall and "crushed" the bug to death. At the same time, she looked at other locations. She saw one bug after another crawling in this corridor that could not be "invaded" , she saw these bugs crawling in through the gaps in the smallest ventilation duct grille, and saw these bugs staring at themselves with their compound eyes, as if seeing the same kind...

"Guards!"

Teresa turned her head, but found that she kicked the wall just now and didn't attract the attention of these guards. They were engrossed in staring at the opposite wall, turning a deaf ear to the abnormal movement and their own voices. They were like a sculpture. Could it be that they were dedicated To the point of robots?

Teresa took two steps back, her nose under the veil faintly smelled a burst of blood. This smell came from under the RIG armor, and ordinary people could not smell it.But she could smell it, so Teresa touched the guard next to him. The vital signs on the RIG armor were all normal, but when the nun touched him, the man fell down with a "boom"!

"There is an invasion..."

The nun wanted to sound the alarm, but the moment she opened her mouth, her trachea stopped making a sound——

Warm blood flowed down from the side of the throat, and the cold feeling from the back of the neck stretched out from the side of the throat.This is a completely transparent short blade. It pierced Mother Teresa's cervical spine and severed her trachea. The moment she shattered the nerves in the cervical spine and paralyzed her, one hand supported her and slowly lowered her to the ground.The man who made the knife seemed to be well versed in human anatomy. The clean cut bypassed the artery without causing a hemorrhage, and not a drop of blood flowed to the ground.Accompanied by water-colored ripples in the air, a man in a windbreaker put Teresa down, and then walked towards the room where Langton was.

Until the end, Teresa didn't see the man's face, her body couldn't move, and she couldn't make a sound.

On the other side, a few minutes later—

"It's not a hard decision to make, Mr. Isaac."

Langdon took Isaac's right hand and patted him on the shoulder.Mr. Engineer seemed to be a little distracted. In his eyes, Nicole was sitting on the chair next to Langton and smiling, very happy for his promise to Langton.

[Isaac, I miss you very much, I don't want to be unable to touch you like this. 】

Langston patted his right shoulder, and Nicole came over and rested her head on his left.She is still so beautiful, just like the day she left, in the era when she wore blue hair, sprayed magnolia fragrance, and wore the bracelet I gave her on her wrist-how nostalgic, but I lost it After all, it was all his own fault for killing her. He was the one who persuaded Nicole to work on the Stone Village.

【I don't blame you, Isaac. 】

Nicole had her arms around Isaac's left arm and he felt it, felt the warmth of his girlfriend.He can't move, and he doesn't want to move. If he moves, all this will disappear, and he doesn't want to do this!Isaac turned his head to meet Nicole's tender bright blue eyes.

【I will not leave you, we will meet again, right there, you will find me there. 】

"Tafrantis," Isaac murmured, "Either I'll find you, or we can end this."

Langdon looked at Isaac suspiciously, and then understood.It seems that Isaac's spirit is still a little problematic, but this level is much better than the brainwashed people I have seen, whose heads are full of gods, so Langton is more determined.

The current situation is very tense. Although the People's Federation has not completely controlled the solar system, UEG's destruction is only a matter of time. Once UEG falls, the People's Federation will be able to mop up the other quadrants.
