Shen Jingheng was slightly taken aback: "...you already know."
"Yeah, I can feel it." Chu Yu said softly, "Those 100,000 innocent lives, their resentment has forged your spiritual manifestation... Song Junyue gave you the power of 'god' for a short time, That's why Mercliff and Seal are powerless in front of you, am I right?"
Shen Jingheng was silent and nodded.
"You really dare to admit it." Chu Yu's smile seemed a little broken, "You are a devil, do you know that?"
"I know." Shen Jingheng replied in the dark, "but this is my choice, and I will not regret it... When the war is over, I will take the initiative to go to the military court to await trial."
"..." Chu Yu finally broke down, "Why are you so confident in even doing evil? How can you be responsible? Can your life change for all of them? They clearly believe that you can bring them civilization and happiness, but you But to deceive them by taking advantage of their belief and adoration of you... Don't you have any mercy?"
"No." Shen Jingheng replied bluntly, "This is the price we need to pay for our victory. If it wasn't them who sacrificed, then we Protoss people would be the ones who sacrificed. If you can only choose one of the two evils, I will Chose to harm people of a race other than mine; I thank them for their contribution to our peace, and I grieve for the loss of life, and I'm sorry."
Chu Yu had nothing to say. No one could condemn Shen Jingheng's actions from the supreme moral point of view. In fact, he was mentally prepared when he set off.
Just like Song Junyue said to him before departure, he should be able to distinguish his own position.
But I don’t know what’s wrong, maybe it’s because he stayed on the battlefield for too long, maybe it’s because Lu Jun was shocked by the scene of Zerg dismemberment, or maybe he saw too many familiar cerebrates... Or maybe it’s because he saw Sealed.
He was indeed at a loss, and the sealed words did not have no effect on him.
…so much so that he begins to wonder if his existence really makes sense.
Even if he told Feng Feng that the meaning of existence is given by himself, but what has he really done
Nian Lijun didn't work, but it took everyone's infinite energy; Fang Shiyan and Gu Shaoqing believed in his arrangement without hesitation, but lost their lives; Didn't really do anything.
It also caused everyone to accompany him to die.
Is he really worth it
"Don't blame yourself." Shen Jingheng seemed to sense what he was thinking, "The essence of the world is cruelty, survival and competition... Miracles can only be created with hope, you have brought hope to everyone, and that is already a lot It’s something no one can do.”
"If you want to chase the light, someone has to bear the darkness... I don't want your hands to be covered with blood. You are my god, and you should be admired by all people... Cough." Shen Jingheng couldn't hold back, coughed up blood violently, "In this life, I can finally achieve the righteousness in your heart, I am very happy."
Shen Jingheng staggered and couldn't stand still. He knelt on the ground and propped himself up with his hands on the ground. His body was shaking, and the blood from his heart flowed down in streams, "I really love you, Chu Yu, It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, at least you can live in a peaceful world in the future.”
"Are you punishing me?" Chu Yu finally emerged from the darkness, with two blood-red tears streaming down his face, "In the last life, I ignored your obstruction and insisted on sending me to die. In this life, do you want me to watch you die?"
Shen Jingheng's heart twitched, and he looked deeply at Chu Yu who was walking towards him. This obviously completely different standard words came from a person.
One is blaming him, the other needs him.
… as if one person had been split into two
Song Junyue understood immediately, and hurriedly said to Shen Jingheng: "I understand, it's Feng Feng! Feng Feng must have imposed mental control on him before he died... Now his mental body is fighting for control, that's why this happened. A big storm of mental power."
Shen Jingheng was slightly taken aback: "...mind control?"
Song Junyue nodded with certainty, and then snapped his fingers: "Yes, every cerebrate has this skill, people with weak mental power will be directly controlled by him, and people with strong mental power will be controlled by him for a long time. Brainwashed by thought, it often fights with one's original consciousness... It's really scary, but I can still make correct and calm choices when I'm struggling."
"It means that he has two spirit bodies in his body now?"
"No, it's one, it's just that the sealed spiritual indoctrination is attacking his judgment," Song Junyue said, "It seems that he has been fighting alone for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have exploded at this time."
"Now what… ?"
Song Junyue glanced at Shen Jingheng, and said to Chu Yu, "Do you want to see him die?"
Chu Yu stared at Song Junyue with scarlet eyes: "How could I want him to die!"
Song Junyue said speechlessly: "Then stop arguing, please work hard, suppress the other you, let Shen Jingheng go back for treatment first, and then discuss right and wrong when you are cured... Really speechless, Shen Jingheng blocked you for you The most deadly sword, you still don't know how to call him inhumane, I think you are confused."
A word awakened the dreamer, and Chu Yu froze in place.
The blood red slowly faded from the eyes, and the amber eyes once again became dazed.
"What's wrong with me?"
The storm of mental power tended to dissipate gradually, Song Junyue finally exhaled and snapped his fingers.
"The hypnosis is over."
Chu Yu's whole body suddenly softened and fell heavily to the ground.
Song Junyue carried two people on his shoulders, one left and one right, and helplessly carried them back to the base for treatment.
... I think I must have owed you both in my previous life, so I will work for you two for free in this life.
[three days later]
Chu Yu slowly woke up from his sleep.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a white space. The sheets were white, the walls were white, and the clothes on him were also white.
"You're awake." Song Junyue sat on the swivel chair and faced him, holding two tubes of reagents in his hand.
Chu Yu was still a little unconscious, shook his head, and looked around again: "Where am I now...?"
"Military medical base." Song Junyue pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, stepped forward to check Chu Yu's pupils, "Very good, he is recovering well, is there any discomfort in his body?"
Chu Yu moved his body slightly, then shook his head: "Where's Shen Jingheng?"
Song Junyue looked into his eyes and said slowly, "In the court martial."
Chu Yu was slightly taken aback: "Why? Why should he be judged?"
"The court-martial prosecuted him in the name of "crimes against life", accusing him of using 100,000 extraterrestrial life on the battlefield to win the war. In addition, he was prosecuted for "crimes against humanity" because he killed the commander Everyone in the room." Song Junyue explained, "The matter is very complicated. Obviously, the king is afraid of his victory in eliminating the Zerg this time, and he is very afraid that he will use this ability to provoke the king's rights."
"How could he be unfavorable to the king?" Chu Yu was simply unimaginable, "I can understand that I am afraid that the master will be overwhelmed, but Wang Xiemo killed the donkey too fast, right? The war has just ended!"
He sat up directly from the bed: "When will the court start? I'm going to help him."
Song Junyue quickly pulled him back: "Calm down first, there are still many disputes about his trial, and you don't need to be too anxious. There are special lawyers to help him with this matter, but the key to the problem lies with Wang."
"What happened to the king?"
"Shen Jingheng is too popular." Song Junyue pointed it out, "Wang feels uncomfortable."
Chu Yu clenched his fists, and his face was gloomy: "He would rather bear the pain of plundering so many lives, and bring the victory of this war to the Protoss. How could the king only care about his immediate interests?"
Song Junyue smiled: "When the external conflict is resolved, the internal conflict will break out... This is an eternal law."
"What if we live in seclusion?" Chu Yu asked.
"There may be nothing in the short term, but the king will not keep you alive for so long. He can only let you go back to your hometown on the surface, and then find someone to assassinate you. This will not only earn the king's reputation, but also let him The threat from the government has disappeared... Besides, if you step down, you will have no right to contend with the king."
Chu Yu frowned, half understanding: "What do you mean...?"
Song Junyue pushed his glasses: "Reverse."
Saying this word hit the hearts of the two of them heavily.
"Pei Yechen is already in place. As soon as the results of the military trial come out, if Shen Jingheng is found guilty, we will act immediately. With the strength in our hands, the king and the group of civil servants can only submit obediently."
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"Three days."
"You planned it in three days?"
"It's better to say..." Song Junyue looked into Chu Yu's eyes, "The moment Shen Jingheng threatened me in the command room, he had already thought about all the follow-ups. The only accident that happened was that you were sealed and controlled your mental power. Almost killed him."
"I still don't understand why you chose to surrender."
"Just treat me as an atonement." Song Junyue smiled slightly, "I have a mission since I was a child, and I grew up under the training of the Protoss. I have a mother and a younger sister. My father died at the hands of the Zerg. Here, my mother took her younger sister to join the army, determined to avenge their father, but they were too weak... and they all died on the insect planet."
"I couldn't tell my position at that time. Is what our race is doing really right? Why must it be the opposite?... I tried to communicate with them, but got a negative answer. Later I Only then did I realize that the insect star was about to perish."
