It turns out that what was played in the video were the memories in Ni Ji's mind.
The guide forcibly invaded the criminal's mental picture.
Read his memory. And using himself as the medium, under the operation of the brain cylinder system, it was played live in front of everyone.
But, can the guide actually do such a thing
The audience is not quite sure.
Most of those here are low-level sentinels who were born civilians.
There were so few of them, and the guides kept in the White Tower seemed to them like things that only lived in newspapers and on television.
They used to think that those guides in gorgeous dresses were just flowers to decorate the prosperous empire.
It is a delicate and docile ornament that is carefully kept in an ivory tower.
At this moment, the guide in front of them stunned them.
They felt a chill on their foreheads.
Looking at the prisoner on the platform with his eyebrows and eyes pressed down and his face pale.
Look at that delicate, white little hand.
Thinking of what it would look like if this hand pressed down on them, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
"Can the guide do such a thing?" The officer standing at the window murmured in disbelief.
She began to feel very upset.
If I had known that Lin Yuan was so powerful that she could directly invade the sentinel's mental image and play back his memory, I should not have let her do this in public.
After all, some things, if they were broadcast, might not look good.
But think about it, as long as we can find the insect jade and complete the task assigned by the big man above, some imperfections in some details are not a big deal.
That is a whole piece of living insect jade.
It was not dead, nor was it just a small piece of debris. God knows how such a large treasure could be found in that polluted area.
Thinking of this, the officer became happy again and reached out to push Roy who was sitting next to him, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that your special research institute has such a powerful guide?"
Roy rolled his eyes in his signature way, as if mocking these people in the Military Control Office for being so ignorant and making a fuss out of nothing.
Who knew that Roy himself was biting his handkerchief in his heart.
The little girl is really very talented and I was mistaken about her. I really didn't see anything wrong with her.
On the screen, the burly sentry walked in front of the screen and sat down.
That is, he sat down next to Ni Ji.
Handed over a cup of steaming drink.
"Captain." The towering sentry smiled a little sheepishly, "After this mission, can I take some time off?"
Ni Ji turned his gaze to look at him.
"My girl is going to give birth next month." The big sentry smiled and rubbed his head. "This is our second child. It's too hard for her to be left alone at home."
He had a rather rough look to begin with, and had three scars running diagonally across half of his face, which made his smile look very distorted.
But he loves to laugh. When he laughs, he opens his mouth wide and shows a row of white teeth.
Ni Ji took a sip of the steaming drink and his eyes stayed on the smiling face for a while.
"Yes, the mission was completed successfully this time. There will be a bonus, which you can take home."
The voice coming from the screen was Ni Ji's.
The sound was very pleasant, like an icy spring flowing slowly through a mountain stream, with a calm and steady power.
If you only listened to the voice, you would never imagine that the person was a murderer who could shoot someone in the head.
It was time to change shifts, and the female sentry lurking in the tall tree slipped down from the tree like a shadow.
She has a high ponytail and a pair of strong long legs.
When he landed, he stepped on a basin-sized human-faced spider that had crawled out from the darkness and crushed it to pieces.
Another short-haired female sentry in the team came up to her happily and handed her a cup of hot food.
The two girls held hands and sat down by the campfire.
"Sister, the captain said there will be a lot of bonuses this time." The girl with short hair said happily, "I want to buy some candies for my brothers and sisters in the orphanage."
"No." My sister held the gun steadily with one hand and drank soup with the other hand without raising her head.
"Why? I really want to see those kids cheering and rushing over." The short-haired girl came up and rubbed her rough little face against her sister's shoulder, acting like a spoiled child. The soup in the cup jingled and shook.
"This winter will be very cold, Mama Ma said. The yard is short of coal and food." The long-haired girl put down the cup and counted on her fingers, "and buy some cotton. If there is any money left, I want to buy some medicine for frostbite. Mama Ma's fingers are swollen every winter."
The short-haired girl whimpered unwillingly and lowered her head, looking dejected.
Her sister turned her head to look at her, reached out her hand, and tucked a strand of her short hair behind her ear.
Finally, he gestured and said, "I can only buy a little."
The short-haired girl with rough skin and covered in dirt clapped happily like a real girl.
When the two girls noticed Ni Ji's gaze towards them, they stuck out their tongues.
Making a military gesture of apology, the elder sister looked at her younger sister with a reproachful look.
There was a little commotion among two or three young sentinels by the campfire.
One of them blushed, and his brother held his neck with his arms. "This boy said he wanted to propose to the girl when he returned." said the brother holding him.
"Is this true? You solved your personal problem so early?"
"Where is this girl from?"
Everyone around started laughing and asking questions.
"How could this kid know a good family? She's a girl from the red-light district, older than him." Someone said.
The young sentry, whose arm was tucked under him, blushed and mustered up the courage to explain, "She, she is a good girl."
"Will a good girl be attracted to us? You silly boy, have you been deceived by a woman?"
The atmosphere began to become lively.
Ni Ji stood up and walked over there.
"team leader."
"Captain Ni."
As the perspective moves forward, vivid faces of the sentinels appear on the screen.
They looked at me with either admiration or trust.
Only the researcher wearing glasses seemed out of place in the team.
He was wearing an expensive non-standard suit, holding a dark backpack tightly in his arms, and sitting alone by the fire, looking a little absent-minded.
Ni Ji's gaze lingered on him for a moment, then swept past.
Finally we arrived at the campfire.
"As soon as the sun rises, we will leave this contaminated area and end this mission. I have said many times that the closer it is to the final moment, the more vigilant we must be."
Ni Ji's voice was not loud, his words were concise and to the point, but his efficiency was very high. After hearing this, everyone immediately restrained their relaxed expressions and became alert again.
"I'm sorry, Captain."
"Sorry, Captain."
The sentries who had made the first noise bowed their heads and apologized.
Ni Ji's gaze fell on the young sentry whose blush had not yet faded. He was the youngest recruit in the team.
"Don't listen to their nonsense." Ni Ji pressed the man's shoulder with his hand. "For people like us who have to rely on our lives, if there is a girl who really wants to marry you, you should treat her well. Family background doesn't matter."
The young sentry's face flushed, but his eyes became bright.
Ni Ji's gaze passed him and went into the dark distance.
His eyesight is extremely strong and he can see very far and very detailed places.
He looked up and searched every corner of the darkness carefully, but found nothing unusual.
Only then did he retract his gaze and return it to the sentinels around him who were about to complete their mission and return to a safe place, and who were already beginning to look happy.
The orange-red light of the fire hit the faces of the soldiers who were talking in low voices.
The tone of the entire screen gradually became warmer.
Outside the screen, all the audience watching this scene can empathize and feel the gradually warming heart of the owner of the sight.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but have an idea in their hearts.
Would a captain like this really be willing to kill the people in his sight
Humans are sometimes easily affected by emotions.
When looking at the memory of the dead researcher.
Everyone puts themselves in the deceased's shoes.
I just felt that the killer holding the gun was hideous, cold-blooded and heartless. He was an absolutely unforgivable murderer.
At this time, watch the video from Ni Ji's perspective.
Even though they haven't gotten the full picture yet, many people can't help but murmur in their hearts.
This is obviously a very gentle captain. Would he really be willing to kill his brothers
No, there must be some injustice.
The video composed of memories is not coherent.
After large snowflakes appear on the screen, the next set of pictures is cut to.
Still in that ruin.
Ni Ji stood on a high place, stepping on the edge of the ruins, staring at the dark world in the distance.
In the darkness, there were some faint and strange noises, as if something was running towards here in groups.
It seemed that they were still very far away, but those things were moving very fast, approaching like a torrent.
Standing next to Ni Ji were the big man who was as tall as an iron tower and the female sentry with a high ponytail.
"How could this happen? Why did such a large number of mutants suddenly appear?" The girl with a high ponytail frowned.
"There's no time to think about it." It was Ni Ji who spoke, "Give me the inducer."
"team leader?"
"Captain! It's too dangerous."
The two soldiers beside him objected in unison.
"Stop talking nonsense and give it to me." Ni Ji stretched out his hand.
This man is an autocratic captain in times of crisis.
He got what he wanted.
He pulled out the short knife he carried with him and drew a rough route map on the ground with a few cuts.
"You guys take this route. We'll meet up at the exit."
After saying this, his eyes moved back and forth between the faces of the two people in front of him, hesitating slightly.
"Leader Tagore, my sister and I will cover the rear." The female warrior spoke first, with confidence in her voice, "My sister and I are the strongest combination in the team except for the captain."
Ni Ji no longer hesitated and waved his hand in agreement.
He turned around, opened the bottle of inducer, poured it all over his body, and ran towards the dark world with a knife in hand.
Facing the direction where the monsters are rolling in,
"Crazy, is he a lunatic?"
"Doesn't he want to live anymore? That's a whole bottle of inducer."
The audience watching in front of the screen were horrified. As sentinels, they all knew what the bottle of inducer was.
That thing is extremely dangerous to use in contaminated areas.
Even if you take out a tiny bit and apply it somewhere, it will attract nearby monsters that smell the scent.
Pouring the whole bottle on oneself like Ni Ji did would be a disaster.
He would be a moving target, madly and firmly attracting all monsters along the way.
Even a madman wouldn't dare to do such a thing.
But he did so, and the entire team had a chance to evacuate safely. He was the only one in extreme danger.
The video that played next was very messy and the camera rotated very quickly.
It's all battle scenes that sway back and forth.
The screen was filled with strange and deformed creatures in the contaminated area.
A hairy sickle, a crawling mass of flesh, a huge blood-red eye...
They surged up one after another.
Broken limbs kept flying, and eardrum-piercing screams filled the sky and the earth.
The screen was covered with thick blood again and again.
The boundaries between the sky, the earth and the screen disappeared.
In everyone's eyes, the only thing left was the captain who was fighting hard.
This captain, with his flesh and blood, led all the monsters away alone.
A man fights alone among the swarm of monsters that cover the sky and the sun.
When he ran out of bullets, he pulled out his long knife, and the long knife cut off all that was left was his flesh and blood.
He is a well-deserved captain.
Don't die.
Hang in there, Captain.
Get out there, Captain!
This is the cry of the audience in front of the screen.
At this time, no one called him a murderer, and no one hoped that he would fall, even though everyone knew that he would be able to leave alive in the end.
A huge whale appeared beside him.
At first it was like a calf, then like a house, and soon it was as loud as a mountain, shaking the heavens and the earth.
The huge fish in black and white, with a pair of purple fiery eyes, hovered in the air, and its powerful tail fin slapped away the groups of monsters.
The roar of whales sounded like a song. In such a brutal battle, it seemed like a call from a distant home, breaking through the thick despair.
One man and one whale used their wounded bodies to open a gap in the monster's encirclement.
Breakout.
The screen went dark and then brightened again.
The terrible battle is over.
Ni Ji walked in the streets filled with flying spores, and reached out several times to wipe away the blood that was obscuring his vision.
He walked quickly, his breathing was clearly audible, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
At that moment, when I saw it there.
The breathing sound on the screen suddenly disappeared.
The world was terribly quiet.
It is gray there and no longer belongs to living things.
The elder sister hugged her younger sister tightly.
A huge, withered finger pierced through two young bodies at the same time.
No one knew who cut off the monster's giant fingers, leaving the lives of the two people frozen in this posture.
In the sky, countless floc-like spores slowly floated down, landing gently on the bodies of the dead like petals.
The girl with long hair let her braids loose, and her long hair fell down, gently covering the person she was protecting in her arms.
It looked like the two sisters fell asleep in each other's arms.
Ni Ji's gaze was fixed on the two bodies hugging each other, but his steps did not stop.
He passed them, he looked away. He ran!
The air around me was in turmoil, and the sky was filled with flying spores stirred by the turbulence, like the messy ashes covering the sky at a funeral.
The dark shadows of ruins and plants quickly receded from view.
Ni Ji ran wildly in the dark night.
The bodies of the soldiers gradually increased.
Mixed with the monster's remains.
how so
Everyone outside the screen asked this question in their hearts. Their captain had already risked his life to lure the monster away.
We were almost at the safe exit.
Why are there so many monsters chasing after us
Why did so many people die and so much blood flow
Some people lay on their backs in the drifting ash, their hollow eyes open, staring at the sky.
Some people were incomplete, and their appearance was unbearable for even the most seasoned warriors to look at.
But on the screen outside, in the video of memory displayed before everyone's eyes.
Ni Ji, who was running all the way, took a good look at every dead face.
The whole world's color disappeared from his eyes.
The earth was vast and gray.
Only the bodies of those who died tragically, with their strong and extremely vivid colors, remained in the sight.
Engraved in memory.
He stopped in front of a still-living sentry.
Even though there was no hope of saving this soldier.
He was the youngest sentinel in the team, almost a big boy. He was very shy and wanted to marry a girl from the red-light district.
"Captain... Captain." The young sentry saw him.
Ni Ji, who had been running all the way, stopped for him.
"Is there anything else you want to explain?" He stood there and spoke in an extremely calm tone.
It seemed as if he was still the calm, composed, strong captain who could solve any crisis.
"I, there is a letter under my pillow in the dormitory, put it, put it..."
"Give it to that girl for you?" Ni Ji asked.
"No, it's not." The older boy tried to raise his arms, but he no longer had any hands. "Burn the letter. Don't let her see it. Don't let her feel sad for me."
Ni Ji looked at him, and after a moment, he gritted his teeth and said one word: "Okay."
The boy started crying, "Give her all my... all the money I saved. Let her live a good life, a different way of living."
"good."
"Captain, Captain. I still want to be your soldier. I still want to be your soldier..."
He had no other words.
Ni Ji waited for a moment, but heard no other sound. He turned around and walked forward.
The red blood covered his vision again and again, and he no longer raised his arm to wipe it.
The whole world is a blood-red world.
The disordered breathing sound filled the screen and the ears of every audience member.
The square in front of the screen was completely silent. The dark masses of sentinels pursed their lips in an eerie silence.
