Let Me Shoulder This Blame!

Chapter 125: brave cowards

Views:

It is obvious that the general debriefing report does not require the Marshal to attend in person. Everyone looked more and more surprised, but Alex didn't pay much attention to it. He just supported his brother's wheelchair and slowly pushed him into the holographic room.

The door was slowly closed, and the people outside were still unwilling. Although frightened by the young officer's terrifying mental power, they still tried their best to take a look at the situation inside, trying to find some suspicious clues.

Alex was much more resolute than the old general, causing those people to see the clear and highlighted logo of the marshal on the communication bar, and then slammed the door mercilessly.

Pushing Craig's wheelchair to a stop in front of the communication platform, Alex picked up the helmet and put it in his hand, then squatted down suddenly, looked up at his younger brother slightly: "Craig, you have to remember —No matter when or what happens, we will always stand behind you. Do you know?"

Su Shi was slightly startled, met his gaze, pursed the corners of his lips and nodded slightly.

Alex patted his arm before he finally got up and walked out. The moment he closed the door, a sharp chill had penetrated from his whole body.

Although shy by nature, Craig was not originally such a cowardly character. They always thought that this younger brother was not used to life in the army, and they always wanted to free him as soon as possible, but they ignored these guys who took pleasure in mocking and beating others.

Although the interior of the holographic room is soundproof, the outside sound can still be vaguely heard at the door. He could hear those words clearly. If it weren't for the bottomless sarcasm and ridicule of these people, Craig might not have closed himself off like that, and even went to do such a dangerous thing alone without saying a word to anyone in advance.

For Craig, all that is in the past, for him not yet.

Su Shi held the helmet in his hand, looked at it, and tried to put it on. After a moment of darkness, he entered a brand new virtual conference room.

For the military, an officer who can survive the siege of the Zerg is obviously of extremely high value. Even if the general has taken care of all the difficult things for him, the military must at least talk to him before he is willing to let him retire like this.

Su Shi had been prepared for a long time, and suppressed his mental strength to the peak of S-level. Even though the data of his body was analyzed and uploaded, he soon saw a series of floating values appearing next to his avatar.

"Craig, don't be nervous. Your father has already told us about you, and today I'm just talking to you."

The marshal's expression was very kind, and he warmly asked him to relax and sit down. His eyes scanned the data beside him, but there was still a faint regret flashing in his eyes.

Although the mental strength of the S-level peak is not rare, it is already very precious, let alone such a young person. If it weren't for the fact that the young man's body was not damaged so badly and the hope of recovery was almost slim, the military might not be willing to let him go like this.

According to the original file records, Craig's mental power was only barely above A-level, and it was greatly improved under the stimulation of dying. Although the Zerg was successfully delayed, it also caused the body to be unable to withstand the excessive mental power , causing irreversible damage.

Although it is regrettable, it is not without concern.

The marshal pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze back to the young man in front of him.

It is said that the youngest son of the Vincent family is introverted and cowardly, but the young man in front of him can't see it at all. Although the appearance is indeed soft, the light in those eyes is calm and stable, even if they meet him, they are still calm, maybe it is true that they have grown a lot suddenly between life and death.

Seeing his change, the marshal became more and more unable to suppress the thought, and after a little deliberation, he said slowly: "Craig, have you ever concluded anything about the instant burst of mental power?"

Meeting the marshal's expectant gaze, Su Shi thought for a while, but still shook his head.

It was no surprise that the military was interested in this matter. Although his mental power explosion caused serious damage to his body, in the final analysis, it was still due to his lack of physical fitness. Under a lot of high-intensity training in the army, physical fitness is precisely the easiest to improve, but the improvement of mental strength is always very limited. If he could grasp his experience of forcibly erupting mental power at that time, maybe this generally accepted law would be shaken.

But his mental power was brought after entering this world, and although there are some ways to stimulate mental power, they may not be applicable to humans in this world.

Seeing him shaking his head, the Marshal didn't seem too disappointed. Instead, he leaned forward a little, and continued to ask: "In your opinion, does the improvement of mental power have anything to do with the music you are good at?"

Su Shi couldn't help being slightly surprised, and finally understood the purpose of the other party's coming to see him.

Raising his head to meet the marshal's ardent gaze, Su Shi pondered for a moment before speaking slowly: "I can't guarantee it, but music can indeed have an impact on the spirit and emotions. Such an impact may not be measurable by data, but it can play a role." The effect that the machine can't achieve."

"We have done a lot of investigations. Although we haven't found a clear connection between music and spiritual power, it cannot be denied that there is a preference in art, especially people who are good at music are indeed stronger than ordinary people's mental power. It’s also better in certain characteristics.”

Hearing his answer, the marshal nodded slightly, showing some relief, and finally stated his real purpose frankly.

"I know that your brother is doing research in this area. Your example has given us great encouragement. When your body recovers, if you can help us prove that music does have an impact on mental strength, the government will seriously consider it. About re-opening the conservatory—would you like to help us?"

No wonder Alex said that his brother's research was about to succeed. It turned out that the key progress came from him.

Su Shi raised the corner of his lips dumbly, raised his eyes calmly, with a clear smile in his eyes: "Thank you, Marshal, I am very honored."

In this world, Craig must not be just a single case. The sudden war disrupted all people's steps, everything became absolutely for the war, survival became the first, people were forced to temporarily abandon many things, but sooner or later they will slowly pick them up again.

Music may not save the world, but it can certainly save something else.

After finishing the call with the marshal and completing the debriefing, his status in the military department was completely cancelled. Su Shi took off his helmet and let out a sigh of relief, then steered the wheelchair out of the holographic room.

Paul and the others were still waiting outside.

Alex stood aside with his arms folded. Although he didn't give them any good looks, at least he didn't make things difficult. When he saw his brother going out, he quickly walked up to him.

"Second brother, I'm fine, can I have a few words with them?"

Meeting Alex's worried gaze, Su Shi smiled at him, and spoke softly in an inquiring manner.

It was the first time he had been out of the treatment cabin for so long, his body had already issued a clear protest, dizziness followed, cold sweat covered his forehead, and his clothes were already icy cold.

Alex leaned over slightly in the wheelchair, looked at his brother in front of him for a while, and then raised his hand to gently hug him: "Hurry up, your body needs to rest."

Su Shi nodded, raised his gaze, and looked at those familiar faces, his brows stretched gently: "Thank you for what happened just now."

Among the team members, only Paul had the rank of second lieutenant. Not only would he not get any favors from those young officers, he might even be punished. The team members took a big risk in standing up for him.

There was deep shame in Paul's eyes, he shook his head and said in a low voice: "We couldn't help much. Captain, you—"

He hesitated and stopped talking, his eyes fell on Craig.

They insisted on staying, but in fact they just wanted to ask each other how they were doing and how their bodies were recovering. But seeing the thin young man in front of him who couldn't even get up and could only rely on a wheelchair to travel, he couldn't say what he wanted to say anyway.

"Captain, we just want to see you, how are you doing, are you feeling better?"

Hank didn't have his awareness, scratched his hair and squeezed over, asking with concern.

Looking at the hesitant expressions of the team members, Su Shi showed a slight smile in his eyes, and nodded slightly: "Thank you, I'm much better now."

There was still cold sweat on his forehead, and his face was so pale that it made people worry. These words were not very convincing. However, the smile in those eyes was calm and steady, no one could doubt it when they met such Ning Che's gaze.

After experiencing life and death, the young man in front of him seemed to have finally released the shackles he had been carrying all along, and he would no longer feel wronged by some misunderstandings, and those things seemed to have long been no longer on his mind

They have always wanted to apologize for their previous misunderstandings, and finally found the opportunity, but the people who were misunderstood have long since ignored it.

Paul stood in a daze for a while, then took a step forward, met his gaze and said in a low voice, "Captain, we have always wanted to apologize to you for what happened before—"

He didn't know what to say, and he paused for a moment in silence before speaking again, when a piercing and sharp insect sound suddenly sounded outside the window.

"Be careful!"

Insect singing is a special ability only possessed by insect emperors. It is mostly used to control the Zerg race. It is the first time it has appeared in a human-inhabited area. Alex spoke sharply, and his mental power instantly spread out, ignoring himself, and protecting his brother completely.

Almost at the same moment, mental power far stronger than him spread like a tide, not only protecting him, but even directly opening an invisible barrier, stably resisting the sudden attack.

Alex looked slightly stunned, but his heart sank immediately, and he grabbed Craig's wrist: "Stop it, I'm dying!"

He only knew that his younger brother was injured because of the outburst of mental power, but he didn't know that Craig's mental power was already so strong. But his body hadn't recovered in the first place, if he continued to explode regardless of his body, even his life might be in danger.

Meeting his gaze, Craig slightly pursed the corners of his lips, and held his hand behind his back, with a vaguely familiar softness and shyness on his delicate face: "Second brother, I can protect you too."

His chest tightened suddenly, and Alex gritted his teeth and looked at him, wanting to reprimand his brother who refused to obey him, but he couldn't say anything. She just silently raised her hand to wrap his arms around his shoulders, telling him to lean on him, and integrate his spiritual power into that barrier.

With the support of his body and his mental strength to protect all the people around him, Su Shi put his hands in his pockets and looked out the window thoughtfully.

The queen mother of the Zerg race must have sensed the threat, so she suddenly let out the sound of insects, looking for the natural enemy hidden in the human settlement. The Little Worm Emperor undoubtedly heard this voice, and tried to rush out several times, but was stopped by him.

This time the insects came without warning, and on the surface it didn't seem to cause any substantial damage, as if it was just a warning. But the worm emperor has grown up after all, even without this accident, the time he can stay in the human area is probably very limited.

After a few minutes, the piercing sound gradually faded away and disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had ever happened.

Su Shi withdrew his mental strength, looked up at Paul with a concerned expression, and smiled faintly at him.

In those gentle and clear eyes, besides calmness, there is no more emotion to be found. Even if you analyze it carefully, there is only a clear and clear relief.

Alex supported his younger brother's wheelchair and said in a low voice, "Okay, it's time to go home."

Su Shi didn't say anything more, and nodded obediently, before being pushed away by Alex.

Instinctively, Paul took a few steps forward, looking at the farther and farther figures, his heart finally felt empty.

Pushing the wheelchair away from everyone's sight, Alex's heart sank more and more. He put his hand on his brother's shoulder and wanted to ask, but was startled by the temperature under his palm: "Craig!"

"Second brother, I'm fine."

Su Shi opened his mouth in a low voice, but his body finally couldn't support himself and slid down into the wheelchair.

He originally wanted to talk to Paul a few more words, but the discomfort and recurring dizziness deprived him of the last remaining strength, and he could barely maintain his energy for a moment, so he had to close his eyes tightly, Fumbling and clutching the wrist on the side of the shoulder, the voice lowered: "Second brother, don't let them see..."

"Don't worry about it anymore, you just have to rest well, with the second brother here."

Alex patted his arm, spoke in a deep voice, and quickly pushed him onto his patrol boat.

Even though the turbulence was slight enough, it still made Su Shi's dizziness intensify. Cold sweat gathered and dripped, leaving dark marks on the clothes. The corners of his lips were weakly pursed, and his color had turned pale.

Not daring to delay, Alex returned to the cockpit, informed his father of the situation, and hurried back home.

Within ten minutes, the patrol boat had barely stopped at the door.

Alex stopped the patrol boat and turned back in a hurry, but suddenly stopped at the cockpit in surprise.

He didn't realize that there was a strange figure in the patrol boat at some point.

Craig was picked up from the wheelchair, his arms dropped silently to his side, his head was slightly tilted back, and he seemed to have lost consciousness. He was supported by that figure's arm to stabilize his head and neck, and was firmly protected in his arms.

The strong power fluctuations made him secretly startled. Alex took a step forward, his eyes fell on the antennae and wings of the strange figure, and he had vaguely guessed the identity of the other person, but it was still difficult to distinguish the enemy from the enemy.

The sound of insects can only be judged to be made by the insect emperor, but there is no way to distinguish whether it is the original mother emperor or the artificial insect emperor who is said to have been missing for more than half a month. Even if it was the former, he wasn't sure what the purpose of the man-made insect emperor's sudden visit and kidnapping of his younger brother was.

Already secretly preparing for the battle, Alex was about to make a move, but the Zonghuang had already turned towards him slightly, imitating Su Shi's calligraphy and speaking politely: "Second brother."

The footsteps suddenly stopped, Alex looked up in astonishment, but the Zonghuang had already picked up his unconscious human lover in his arms, and quickly got off the patrol boat.

The general had already been waiting at the door, and when he saw his figure, he greeted him anxiously: "How is Craig?"

"Dad, Craig will be fine."

The Emperor of Zombies replied calmly, and quickly entered the door with his human lover in his arms. Alex came up from behind, and when he heard this sentence, he couldn't help being even more astonished: "Dad, what's going on?"

"I still want to ask what's going on - you said you can take good care of your brother, and that's how you take care of him!"

Looking at the comatose youngest son, the general frowned even more tightly. Although he knew it was not the second son's fault, he still couldn't help scolding and quickly followed into the treatment room.

Carefully put Craig back into the treatment cabin, and the warm treatment lights shone down, but the comatose human youth didn't seem to get much relief. The lines of torment were still furrowed between the pale brows, his breathing weakened, and the monitoring data kept fluctuating up and down.

He held the hand that was still clutching his clothes in a coma, and gently squeezed it into his palm. The worm emperor did not avoid the eyes of the general and Alex, leaned over and kissed the light-colored thin lips slightly pursed, gently transporting pure power into the body of his human lover.

"dad!"

Seeing his movements getting more and more excessive, Alex yelled in disbelief, but was glared at by the general, and said in a low voice: "This is the Zerg's treatment method, he is just saving your brother's life, don't say."

Obviously there was a problem with calling him dad, Alex couldn't help but get angry, and was about to wake up his father who was too lax, but the Zerg King had already raised his hand and peeled off Craig's clothes.

The thin and pale chest and shoulders of the human youth flashed past, and were completely covered by the spread wings.

Alex stood up in shock, before he could speak, he watched his father stand up and pulled him out of the treatment room involuntarily: "We are waiting outside, he is going to massage Craig."

The author has something to say:

Second Brother: No, Dad? ? Wake up, Dad? ?
