days ago.
…
Mutt looked at the panicked girl in the circle of light, he bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes fell on the hand that the princess extended to him, and his body seemed to take a step towards the princess uncontrollably.
But after all, there is only one step.
After that step, he stopped and took another step back.
"Do not."
The boy shook his head, he still clenched his lower lip, but he firmly took another step back.
"Are you going to watch her die, John."
Salome looked at Mute and spoke again. She raised her hand as a gesture, and several black muzzles slowly protruded from the wall of the room in the circle of light, aiming at the pale girl.
Her hand was raised in the air, and she moved slightly, as if she was about to swing it down—
The blue light in the boy's pupils suddenly became brighter, and an invisible air flow erupted from his body, and the almost substantial mental power swept away in all directions like a stormy wave, destroying the room like ruins in an instant , Even the surrounding walls and pillars have countless cracks like spider webs.
The moment his mental power exploded in all directions, the lines of the light curtain in front of Salome twisted, struggled and shook a few times, and disappeared instantly.
Jia's powerful mental storm caused all the signal light waves within a few miles to distort and break apart at this moment.
The huge invisible air current blew across the side of the princess, tearing a crack in the ground under the princess's feet, but after all, it still didn't hurt the princess herself, only blowing her long golden hair back wildly.
The young man stared at Salome, his shining blue pupils diffused the ripples on the water surface, which seemed to be a little chaotic, but his eyes looking at the princess were brighter than anything else.
"It's you who wants to harm her, not me. I will be sad, but I won't blame myself for that crime."
He said his eyes were clear.
"The battlefield is ruthless. As long as you walk on it, anyone may die one day. No matter who you are, you must have this awareness when you wear a military uniform."
"I want to protect her, but if I save her today, thousands of people will die tomorrow. Yes, I know..."
Speaking of this, Mute suddenly paused, he lowered his eyes, closed them, clenched the hand on his side tightly, then let go, and opened his eyes again to look at Salome.
"... Forget it, why bother to find any high-sounding excuses, it's just a nice way of saying it."
The boy smiled wryly.
"I'm selfish, that's all."
He said, "No matter how many people die in front of me at the same time, there is only one person I want to protect."
He looked at Salome and shook his head.
"You're right, if you and the major general can only live together, I will have the major general live. Similarly, not only you, no matter who, no matter how many people there are, no one can compare with him."
The young man took a deep breath, and his feet on the ground floated slightly again, and the invisible air current lifted his forehead hair from the corner of his eyes.
His pupils flashed the blue brilliance, looking at Salome with a cold look in his eyes.
"Salome."
He said it was the first time he called the princess by her name.
"If you kill Maya, I can only avenge her."
"Revenge? Can you kill me?"
The princess smiled.
"Do not."
The boy's blue pupils stared at the princess.
"I don't need to kill you, I just need to attack your spirit and make you unconscious or confused for a few days until the major general comes here."
Salome's pupils constricted forcefully at Mut's words.
She is not afraid of death, what makes her more unbearable than death is to fail without knowing it.
She stared at Mute, her face no longer had the relaxed smile of the previous moment. A second ago, she thought she was invincible, but now it was the place where she was pinched.
The princess's thick eyelashes drooped down, and she half-covered her eyes. She looked around for a week, and her eyes swept across the ruined room. She snorted softly with her nose, showing a look of disdain on her face.
Then, she raised her eyes to Mutt again.
"That's it, I admit defeat."
She said that the expression of displeasure on her face disappeared without a trace, and she seemed to be a little relaxed.
"you win."
As she said this, she suddenly turned around again, "But you still can't go."
"..."
"If you don't want to watch your significant other get collared and the reins pulled in some guy's hands, you have to stay."
"What's the meaning?"
"Hmph, your mental attack just now just cut off the monitoring signal... There are more than a dozen of them in this room. Forget it, the signal may be restored soon. Let me make a long story short."
The queen's eyes turned cold.
"The controller behind the laboratory on that planet is my father. In order to prevent the experimental subjects from getting out of control, he put a control device in the body of each experimental subject that can manipulate their life and death. You should know this One point, after all, besides Troll, you have seen another experimental subject die."
... Tran.
The young man paused for a moment, suppressed the trembling in his heart, pondered for a while, and then answered.
"Tran said that the major general is the final winner, so only he has no control device in his body and can leave the planet at will."
"Oh, that's just a nice way of saying it. For an extremely selfish guy, how can he allow the things he created to escape his control?"
"..."
"The signal will be restored soon. If you want to leave, no one can stop you."
The princess looked around at the ruined room and said in an understatement.
Mute closed his eyes for just a second, and when he opened them again, he had already given the answer.
He said, "Okay."
His blunt answer made Salome startled, and she took a look at Mutt.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you?"
Mute's decisiveness made her feel curious instead.
The boy shook his head.
"It's okay if you cheat me once."
he said, looking calm.
He was too weak back then, so he couldn't take away the person who said he would follow him. And now, since he has enough power, he must not just watch the major general end up in the same fate as Tran.
If Salome lied to him, then it would be fine if she lied to him once, as long as the major general was safe.
"I have to remind you in advance that in order to hide that person, I must perform amnestics on you." The princess raised her hand and pointed her finger at the sky, "Otherwise that person will not dispel his suspicion of you. I checked the records, In the past, in order to control Jia, there were also experiments to erase the memory of Jia, although there were successful examples, but very few, most of them suffocated to death because they could not bear the pain."
"Oh." The boy snorted, and said, "It's okay, it won't succeed with me."
He didn't think he couldn't stand it, and as long as he sensed the slightest possibility of memory erasure, he would immediately explode with strength to destroy that device.
Salome:"… … "
Missing point, what I want to warn you about is not the fact that there are successful examples.
Although she wanted to say that, she still sighed after all, and didn't intend to say more about this matter.
Salome didn't say any more, but Mutt asked.
"That's your father, right? Why did you betray him?"
"I am a politician and I will only choose the option that is beneficial to me. So, I will make a decision based on your performance."
The queen replied so calmly.
"If you choose to submit for that girl, then Troll will definitely lose, and I will obey the emperor's order to control Troll for him. Then I don't know what will happen to me—if you refuse, I will help you, although I will have nothing from now on, but I can be sure, at least in your hands, my life will be safe."
...
…………………
The conversation between the two only lasted for a few minutes. From then on, both Salome and Mutt's every move was under the emperor's control, and they could only exchange their thoughts by occasionally meeting each other's eyes.
Then, as Salome said, Mutt had to undergo amnestic surgery.
He gritted his teeth and survived the so-called amnesiac. He never wanted to experience that painful and terrifying feeling again. If I have to say it, I am afraid that only the pain of being mentally invaded by the group of so-called researchers last time can be compared.
The result was that he was unconscious for two days after making it through.
When he opened his eyes again, he 'lost' all of himself, and obeyed the first princess he saw.
…
For a person who likes to talk and complain, it is really tormenting to pretend to be a fool.
The young man who could only stand in a daze from morning to night and didn't even dare to change his expression at will could only groan in his heart with a dumb face, and, not only that, Princess Salome took advantage of this opportunity Unceremoniously instigated him and tossed him, but because he was pretending to be stupid, he could only bear his temper and be called around by the princess as a servant.
...
The so-called Princess Salome forced her father to abdicate, but that was just a scene arranged by the emperor.
Afterwards, Admiral Troll came to Emperor Star.
The princess gave up the favorable terrain of the Emperor Star and went out of the Emperor Star system to meet the attack, not because she failed to control the [Scepter of Heaven] or because she wanted not to endanger the people of the Emperor Star because it was deliberately spread to the outside world. The reason, but because it was also the emperor's secret instruction.
The emperor wanted to give Troll a trial, but he definitely didn't want to hurt both sides and cause great damage to the forces of both sides. He still counted on Troll to revive the royal prestige. After all, in his view, Salome is just an abandoned child, a stepping stone for Admiral Troll to step on to the top.
…
……………
In the gorgeous back hall, the candlelight was shaking.
The broken arm lay quietly on the black-red carpet, and the blood flowing from the break stained the thick and long fluff of the carpet red. In front of it was a pair of feet wearing jet-black boots, the boots were spattered with a little blood. The owner of these feet took a step forward, bent down to pick up the arm, and didn't care that the blood flowing from it stained his fingers red.
Salome took this arm and turned it over for a look, then sneered.
"The control device is installed directly in the blood vessels and nerves. As long as the brain waves move, it can be activated. No wonder no matter how I search, I can't find out where you hide it...Father."
When saying the last two words, the princess holding the broken arm raised her head and looked upwards.
The emperor sitting on the throne was clutching the broken arm, his face was a little paler than before, and his fingers were completely stained red by the blood that flowed out.
He looked down at the few people below with dark eyes.
"Salome."
He spoke in a hoarse voice, like sand rubbing against a stone floor. There was no expression on his face, but even in this brightly lit back hall, his eye sockets were shrouded in shadows.
The emperor stared at the princess and said, "You have done a stupid thing."
"Stupid thing? No, father, I think I made the right choice."
Salome shook her head, and glanced at the two people beside her.
"After my judgment, I came to the conclusion that these two people are more trustworthy than your promise."
"..."
The dark-eyed emperor did not speak any more. In his opinion, the person who hates Troll the most in this world is probably him, the princess who has been deprived of all status and future. He never thought that Salome would turn against him. Troll's side.
There was not only one experimental planet. In the universe, he appointed his confidants to secretly establish several experimental planets. Each planet has the same experiment, and each planet has created countless descendants with royal genes. Just like raising Gu, all the experimental bodies on some planets failed, and some planets successfully gave birth to excellent experimental bodies that stood out from those batch products. Those outstanding experimental subjects were all given different names by him, and they were secretly guided into the army... Decades later, the only one who managed to survive the war and became the overlord of one side was Troll alone.
It is precisely because he has seen how this experimental subject grows step by step to the present state with his own eyes, so he knows the strength of this experimental subject better than anyone else.
Although he is the creator, he is definitely not the opponent of this experimental subject. The only way he can control this experimental subject is the control device implanted in the experimental subject—the control device cannot be touched by anyone, and no one can let anyone touch it. Taking it away must be controlled by him alone, so he directly implanted the controller into the flesh and blood of his right arm.
only-
Gal! And Salome who would rebel against him!
These two unexpected factors disrupted his layout.
One step is wrong, every step is wrong.
When the amputated arm left his body, when the flesh and blood arm lost its connection with his brain wave nerves, he had already lost all his bargaining chips.
The emperor on the throne slowly closed his eyes and did not speak again.
The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since he has already lost this game, extra words and actions will only make him look even more ugly.
He is still the emperor of this empire, and he still retains his dignity.
The conversation between the emperor and the princess never reached the ears of the boy here. After tearing the emperor's right arm, his attention never moved away from Troll.
He knelt in front of Troll, hugging Troll's neck tightly, his cheek pressed against the man's cold black hair. The black hair there was drenched with cold sweat, and a little damp stuck to his skin.
He held Troll like he was holding a child.
His eyes looked distressed.
That kind of distress made him start to whisper incoherently in Admiral Troll's ear at this moment, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid", which is almost like coaxing a child.
After saying a few words, he himself seemed to feel that this was a bit wrong. After thinking about it, he changed it to "It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore" and continued.
As everyone knows, as soon as he uttered the phrase 'it doesn't hurt anymore', the corner of the Wang Nu's mouth, who was originally in a bad mood and so expressionless, twitched violently. She looked back and saw Mute hugging Troll's neck and patting his back as if coaxing a child, the corners of her eyes twitched immediately, and she immediately turned her head away with a horrible expression.
Out of sight is pure.
The corners of the queen's mouth twitched as she really couldn't bear to watch or listen.
Admiral Troll, who was hugged by Mutt, didn't move for a while. He still maintained a half-kneeling posture on one knee, motionless, as if he had become a statue.
His neck was held by Mute, his head was held by Mute, and most of his face was buried on the young man's shoulder. A small part of the forehead hair, which was soaked in sweat and was a little wet, stuck to his snow-white skin, and most of it was scattered on the boy's shoulders.
Looking from the side, one can only see a little pale cheeks, and a snow-white side neck under the black hair. When I was in pain just now, the veins on the back of my neck popped up, which was extremely terrifying, and now there are still traces of light blue.
Letting Mutt say those words softly, Troll has not opened his mouth to speak, but quietly maintained a half-kneeling posture, letting Mutt put his head on his shoulders.
I don't know how long it took, but the young general finally moved.
His outstretched arms passed through the boy's armpits and stretched out to the boy's back. He raised his hands, and clasped the back shoulders on both sides of Mutt tightly with his fingers.
His face was slightly raised from Mute's right shoulder, and his messy black hair still covered most of his face, only his thin lips were pursed, and the tone was extremely cold.
He turned his head, and most of his cheeks were buried in the fluffy hair of the boy in his arms. His seemingly cold lips touched the soft hair of the boy, as if he wanted to absorb the warmth from the hair.
What is this man thinking right now
Although she wanted to see what was out of sight, Salome couldn't help but peek at the man's expression with an indescribable emotion. But most of the admiral's face was covered by shadows, and the remaining half was buried in Mute's hair. She couldn't see anything, let alone the expression on the man's face at the moment.
Salome, who gave up, silently turned her eyes away.
However, at the moment when her eyes were about to turn away completely, when the last glimmer of light remained from the corner of her eyes, the candlelight on the patterned column flickered abruptly, and the flickering candlelight made the admiral's face twitch. The shadow on it also shook.
It was only a second, not even a second, but the shaking of the shadow at that moment made Salome's eyes freeze.
Did you read it wrong
she thought in amazement.
The moment the candlelight swayed, the moment the shadow swayed.
The man's long and narrow phoenix eyes seemed to have a faint glint of water ripples at the corners of his eyes.
