Let Me Shoulder This Blame!

Chapter 70: cold victim

Views:

After clicking repeatedly three times, and the special effects of [Hold my wok] were unmoved, Su Shi resolutely dragged the system into the blacklist.

He was standing in a main control room, and the image was projected on the judgment stand. There were dense figures in front of him, and it was obvious that the scale was more than a complete legion.

On the topmost screen, the video of what happened at that time is still playing.

The battle was fierce. In order to ensure the safe evacuation of the entire army, the young general forcibly erupted with S-level spiritual power and successfully escorted the army out of the battlefield, but he himself was captured by the Zerg.

The Zerg queen possessed advanced intelligence, and instead of killing this obviously valuable captive immediately, she started negotiations with humans, and even frequently offered high conditions that were difficult for humans to meet.

While the human legion was engaged in fierce disputes and games, a condensed spiritual force suddenly came out from the rear and hit the general's chest hard.

Hit by the attack from our side, the general raised his head in astonishment, a little unbelievable pain flashed in his eyes, before he could make a sound, his body had already fallen down slowly.

The powerful mental power not only pierced through the general's chest, but also shattered the carapace of the Zerg holding him. The human legion immediately dispatched, taking advantage of the panic of the Zerg due to unexpected changes, successfully recaptured the kidnapped general in one fell swoop.

The silent and cold lieutenant slowly put down the launcher, met the law enforcement officer who was rushing over, and calmly handed over his hands.

He even gave him a chance to defend himself.

The evidence is conclusive and the facts are clear. This time the opening situation is much more optimistic than before. Even without the assistance of special effects, relying on my own efforts, I can probably hold the pot.

Su Shi took a deep breath, quickly adapted to the original owner's rigid and stubborn indifferent personality, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Being captured is the greatest shame for a soldier. The commander becomes a bargaining chip, which is an unbearable failure. In the situation at that time, continuing the stalemate will only give the Zerg a rest. As a lieutenant, I don't think I What's wrong with handling it?"

Elvis is the belief of the legion, his words quickly caused a fierce backlash, and many people's eyes showed obvious astonishment and anger.

There was an uproar under the trial stage, but the figure on the stage remained motionless, with a sharp figure and cold eyes, waiting for the final judgment unmoved.

This time it opened the interstellar world. The original owner's name was Dennis Melville, and his father, Dana Melville, was the last general of the Legion. Dennis has received unimaginably rigorous training since he was a child. He was brought to the battlefield at the age of thirteen.

In the eyes of many, he might even have taken over his father's legion by now if Elvis hadn't turned out.

Elvis Warner is the protagonist of this world. He was born in the Werner family that has long since declined, but he has been identified as a double-S mental strength and physical fitness since he was born. Not only became the hope of the whole family, but also quickly attracted the attention of the empire after entering the military academy.

Even Dennis, who has been promoted by countless resources since childhood, only has S-level mental strength and A-level physical fitness. Elvis is the only double S rank in the empire. He was immediately trained by the empire as soon as he entered the military academy. With his own hard work and talent, he successfully broke through the barrier of mental power at the age of twenty-three.

After Elder Mel resigned due to his age, he did not leave the position to his son, but handed it over to Elvis, who was obviously more promising and talented.

Both the general and the lieutenant general are incredibly young, and both have impressive talents. People originally had unlimited expectations for this legion, but they did not expect such an unbelievable change to happen.

"We all know that General Werner resolutely chose to resist the insect swarm alone when his line of defense was almost overwhelmed by the swarm of insects, so he was captured because of exhaustion of mental power. Such capture is not only not a shame for soldiers, but because His act of putting everyone behind him is all the more grand and noble."

I didn't expect Dennis to be so stubborn, and even openly slandered Elvis in front of the whole army. If this attitude really spreads in the army, the impact will obviously be extremely bad.

The military spokesperson had to emphasize the facts at that time again, and his tone became more and more severe.

"Dennis Melville, as the deputy general, not only did you not play your due role in the retreat, but you made an extremely wrong choice after the commander was in distress and the command was extended. General Werner is still in the rescue, you It is still uncertain whether his rash attack will have any irreparable consequences for him."

The situation at that time was too chaotic, and it was inevitable that some people were not fully aware of the facts. After hearing what the military said, the soldiers who were a little shaken finally became completely angry.

Su Shi lowered his gaze, and a light flashed in his eyes.

Without a system, it really went smoothly. With a few words of effort, the first task has been successfully completed.

In the case of extended command, even if the lieutenant makes a wrong decision, he can use the wartime protection regulations to exonerate him. In the eyes of others, Dennis is undoubtedly out of jealousy and hatred for Elvis, so he took the opportunity of the other party being captured and shot, trying to replace the other party.

In fact, Dennis had no such thoughts in his mind at all.

He shot because he saw that the Zerg Queen had polluted Elvis' energy core. This kind of pollution is contagious, and humans haven't yet developed effective treatment methods. Once discovered, in order to avoid large-scale spread, they can only kill and destroy the polluted people completely.

Dennis was raised as a professional soldier since he was a child, and he treated everyone rigidly and coldly. In fact, he never deliberately targeted Elvis alone. Even in his opinion, Elvis is also the belief and core of the legion. If the belief of the legion is wiped out by his own people because of the Zerg pollution, it will be a fatal blow to the entire legion.

His mental power characteristic is called "scalpel", and it is the only special characteristic that can strip the energy core without causing harm to the human body. Dennis deliberately kept his hand during the attack, and completely stripped Elvis' energy core in time to prevent the opponent's body from being continuously polluted, but he also lost the energy core in the worm nest.

The energy core is the source of spiritual power. Su Shi's task this time is to [maintain the faith condensed in Elvis, find the lost energy core, purify it, and awaken Elvis.]

The means of purification can only be operated by Dennis. His mental power can not only be used as a scalpel, but also like dialysis, which can completely strip the venom from the polluted energy core and introduce it into his body.

Such purification can only be applied once, and it must bear the price of being polluted.

Dennis' feelings are actually very indifferent. For him, in order to win, anyone can be sacrificed, including himself.

He would make such a choice only because Elvis has a higher position than him, better talent than him, and the value of survival is greater than him.

According to the original plot, Elvis will be awakened after everything is over and quickly return to his peak state. Dennis chose to leave alone after being polluted, and drove the mech into the bug swarm.

The two of them didn't even have time to meet each other again, and no one would know what the rigid and stubborn deputy general who was as cold as a piece of ice did.

The court fell silent for a while, probably discussing his sentence.

Su Shi lowered his gaze, his expression was indifferent, but his figure was still tall and straight.

The factions in the military are not monolithic because they compete with each other. Elvis was seriously injured and unconscious.

He had just turned on the special effect of [100% Backfired] for himself, and within the first three hours, no matter what he said, it would definitely backfire, causing the plot to develop in the opposite direction.

When he saw the video, he guessed the military's intentions. Neither the panic of the retreat nor the emptiness of the backup was projected in the image, and the military obviously intended to blur the reason behind Elvis's mental breakdown.

But in this way, ordinary soldiers are not fully aware of the situation, and it is inevitable that there will be negative rumors such as "recklessness", "playing a personal hero", and "being captured and dragging down the entire army".

He blatantly slandered Elvis, accusing him of being a "disgrace to the military", and he was waiting for the military's rebuttal.

Such a rebuttal will not only completely crucify his charges, but also let everyone know about Elvis's heroic sacrifice. At least in a short period of time, the soldiers' faith will never be shaken by any gossip.

"According to the "Wartime Protection Regulations", your crime can be converted into military merit, but even so, the mistakes you made are still unforgivable."

Dennis made too much trouble this time. At that time, the army was arguing over the price of exchanging Elvis. All the high-level eyes were focused on the battlefield. He actually almost killed people completely in full view. Sufficient punishment must be given.

Faced with this young man who looked like a war machine, the military's patience had already been exhausted, and he was no longer given a chance to speak, and the final word was finalized.

"The merits and demerits balance out, the court decided to deprive you of all the meritorious service for five years, and give you [mental shackles] for one month. Before General Werner wakes up, you will still be in charge of the command of the legion, and all your duties will remain as usual for the time being. I hope you can remember the previous lessons and don't make such a reckless choice again."

Hearing such a verdict, the soldiers who were originally furious also fell silent, and some even had a faint chill behind their backs.

The figure on the stage remained motionless, and a cold voice sounded: "I obey the order."

In the military, meritorious service is directly linked to treatment. Dennis was just twenty-five years old this year, and depriving him of five years of merit meant that he had to move out of his current residence, and he could no longer receive any special allowances, and only kept the most basic living allowances.

And the mental shackles are a punishment that makes everyone's face change. People who are subjected to mental shackles will feel unspeakably strong pressure. No matter what they do, they will be tens of times more exhausted and depressed out of thin air. Many people will be completely exhausted because they cannot bear the excessive pressure after wearing them for only three days. collapse.

After these two punishments, even the most persevering person will inevitably lose a layer of skin.

Dennis still seemed unaware of the severity of the punishment. After accepting the sentence, he turned off the projection, walked out of the main control room, and was taken to the execution room by the guards.

Although the mental shackles are terrifying, they were originally designed as a means of exercising mental strength, but there are too few people who can bear them, so they were later changed into a form of punishment.

After taking the necklace made into the shape of shackles and putting it on, Su Shi felt as if his whole body sank for no reason, and a new memory suddenly flooded into his mind.

Dennis is no stranger to the shackles.

Everyone thought that Dennis's talent was also at the top, just slightly inferior to Elvis, but in fact it was not. When Dennis was born, he had only an upper-middle-level talent, and his A-level mental strength and B-level physical fitness obviously couldn't satisfy the always strict old Mel.

In order to meet his father's expectations, Dennis has tried all the strengthening methods classified as taboos, and mental shackles are just one of them. From only one day, to two days, three days, and then to a week, Dennis's mental strength finally broke through S-level, and his physical fitness also strengthened to A-level.

He became the youngest genius in the military academy. He went to the battlefield with the army and returned victoriously with scars all over his body. Finally, he saw a faint smile of relief on his father's face.

But all these efforts were broken by that young man who easily wore mental shackles for half a month without knowing it.

Everyone's eyes fell on Elvis, even his father put all his energy into it, and even personally trained and promoted him all the way, and named Elvis to take over the position of general when he retired.

The original body's emotional world was pure and cold, and without the comforting eyes of his father, the only way he could think of was to grit his teeth step by step to keep up with Elvis' pace, and continue to improve his abilities with difficulty and slowly.

Memories don't emerge out of thin air, Su Shi thought, and sure enough, after flashing back, he received the hidden mission issued by the mechanical voice.

[Congratulations on starting the hidden mission: Say a word to your father as Dennis. Completing the task does not award experience points, but you can get a 'Piece of the Key' card.]

Su Shi's eyes narrowed, and he chose to accept without hesitation.

After leaving the upper world, this was the first time he encountered the task of rewarding cards. An integrated set of cards can be exchanged for real objects. The only place where he can use the key in the main world is the door that seals his original experience points, skill equipment and part of his memory.

"Lieutenant Dennis, are you okay?"

People who have just been mentally shackled will have a short trance, and the personnel in the execution room must also pay attention to the reaction of the victim at all times to avoid sudden collapse and loss of control.

After seeing him put on the necklace, he remained silent, and the staff in white clothes beside him couldn't help but be concerned, and asked carefully.

Su Shi came back to his senses, shook his head silently, and walked out the door.

With the experience of the last world, this level of mental shackles is not enough for him to take a second look, and his mind is still on the task he just received.

He originally thought that this sentence would have some specific content, but after waiting for a while, he finally realized that it was really just a matter of saying a word to Old Mel.

I don't know how stiff the relationship between the father and son is, so that even this kind of mission will be released. Su Shi sighed dumbly, and came out of the execution room, ignoring the gazes with different expressions along the way, and went straight back to his office.

When he reached the door of the office, his footsteps suddenly paused.

The white-haired old man was standing at his door, followed by guards armed with live ammunition, his resolute face with no expression could be seen.

Dennis' appearance and temperament were exactly the same as his, so it was obviously not difficult to guess the identity of this old man.

He was severely punished when he first came up. Without the trouble of the system, the protagonist might sleep until he completes the task and leaves. The hidden task that he just took over seems to have hope of completion.

The smooth journey along the way made Su Shi almost unbelievable, his eyes were slightly bright, and he walked towards him quickly.

The old man turned around following the sound, and looked at him with his hands behind his back. The eyes that fell on him were full of sternness and disappointment.

After all, he was still carrying the blame, so Su Shi was not surprised. He only planned to finish the task by saying a word to Old Mel, and he still walked towards him: "Father—"

Before he finished speaking, the old man had already looked away from him, walked around him, and told the guard in a low voice: "Allow the best medical resources to Elvis, and we must try our best to keep his remaining medical resources." Mental power, tell the medical team, I will find him a replacement energy core as soon as possible, there is no need to say anything about it.”

There is still difficulty.

Obviously, as long as he said hello, even a few words to teach himself counted, Su Shi was not reconciled, and turned to call him: "Father, please wait a moment."

Now it seems that Elvis' energy core has been stripped off by the old man. The old man had obviously retired, but he rushed over suddenly, probably planning to ask his teacher for a crime.

A task is a task, and even if the teacher asks for a crime, it can be regarded as saying something.

"General, Dennis he—"

The guard also heard his voice, and hesitated to remind him, but was interrupted by the old man's deep voice: "I'm ashamed of him, I don't want to see him again, and you don't want to mention it in the future."

The voice was neither soft nor heavy, and it just reached Su Shi's ears, and it finally made him fully aware of the hell-level difficulty factor of this task.

Watching the old man's back disappear at the end of the corridor, Su Shi finally gave up the idea of opportunism, sighed very lightly, opened the door and entered the office.

Since it is to take the blame, the misunderstanding between father and son is of course doomed.

This is a rare and clean enough world. The protagonist has been sleeping during this period, and will not know the truth of the matter, and people will not understand the inside story of the whole matter. Father's old Mel won't feel bad.

Now it seems that probably not.

The fingertips subconsciously caressed the shackle necklace worn around the neck, and it felt cold to the touch, as if it would never be infected by the temperature of the skin.

Su Shi walked into the office, took a handful of water and washed his face.

The documents on the desk were already piled up, and there were even a few stacks that couldn't fit, and were placed directly on the ground.

The reason why the military did not remove him from his post and command was not only because he was the son of an old general, but also because these jobs really had to be done by someone.

Dennis has been strictly required since he was a child, so naturally he will not have the concept of appetite. Su Shi rummaged through the cabinet, and besides the simple office supplies, he only found a box of bland nutrition pills.

Although this thing can meet the energy and nutrition needs of the human body, it has not been promoted in the market because it has no taste, and has become the standard configuration of the army.

After being deprived of meritorious service, his adjutant will no longer come to help clean up the house and handle chores, and he is still more inclined to choke on these nutritional pills than to go to an ordinary cafeteria with meal coupons.

Taking out one and swallowing it with water, Su Shi sat down in front of the desk and raised his hand to turn on the desk lamp.

The documents contained everything, including the promotion and treatment of ordinary soldiers, the allocation of funds in the army, the exercise order from Shangfeng, and the application for a new training base, all in a mess. It took a lot of time to clear the desktop out of a place where I could write, and when I was finally about to start replying, there was a light knock on the office door.

At this time, no one would come looking for him. Su Shi asked someone to enter the door, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Old Mel's guard, Wayne.

"Dennis, have you eaten yet?"

When Dennis was a little boy, it was Wayne who took care of him from time to time. Although seeing him make so many unforgivable mistakes, I still couldn't help but feel a little bit unbearable.

Su Shi didn't respond, Wayne sighed softly, and handed over the hidden lunch box: "Seriously, you can't blame the general for being angry, you did too much this time, you never thought that after Elvis woke up, What should I do?"

After the system is blacked out, the local panel can only display the time of the main world, which cannot be converted with the current world.

When Su Shi turned on the special effect of [Backfired], he deliberately memorized the time, glanced at the quartz clock on the corner of the table, calculated that three hours had already passed, and then lowered his eyes and said reassuringly, "He won't wake up."

"That's not necessarily true. The general has already deployed the best medical team to take care of you and rest. But you, who have been deprived of meritorious service, don't even have a caretaker. Apart from training in combat, how can you take care of yourself? "

Wayne became more and more helpless, and couldn't help but stepped forward to clean up the messy documents on the table for him, filled the water glass, reset the temperature of the thermostat, and took a look at the quartz clock: "Look, even the watch The battery is gone, and I don’t know how to change it…”

The author has something to say:

Su Shi: ... can't breathe (Ω_Ω)
