StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 120 This is a trap!
Sarah Kerrigan held a pistol at her waist, and the environmental mimetic combat suit and psionic power gave her such a powerful force that she flipped the dagger and slit Angus Mengsk's neck the moment she grabbed him.The dagger easily pierced Angus Mengsk's neck, cutting the trachea and arteries neatly, and the movement was smooth without the slightest stagnation.

As if cutting through a piece of unrestricted rubber or cowhide, when Kerrigan grabbed Angus's head by the hair and lifted his head, the blood gushing from the carotid artery sprayed on the ceiling like a water column and on the walls.

A revered freedom fighter and revolutionary herald, his ideals may be ludicrous, but Kerrigan will be remembered as a hero—until the next time the scientists at the Academy of Ghosts wipe her memory away.

All of this seemed too simple. After hundreds of security personnel walked past, they sneaked into the sky tower of the Keha Creation Family, which was protected by a sophisticated security system, and easily cut off the head of the rebel leader.

Since Kerrigan began her assassination mission, she had never failed.Ghost agents carry out assassinations in ways far beyond the limits of ordinary people's cognition and imagination. They are like ghosts walking in the world and messengers of death who harvest life.

Unless the assassinated knows the way of the ghost agent assassination, understand how the largest psionic assassin organization in history works.

But it's impossible - it's top secret.Even the Federal Parliament doesn't know anything about it, they just know that Ghost exists.

And that's enough, the people in power in Tarsonis don't care how the weapons work, they just need to destroy the enemies of the council, this is the meaning of the existence of psykers.

Angus Mengsk's cold gray eyes were shut tightly, and his face, with its hawk-like nose and three-dimensional features, was like a statue.After the senior officials of the Federal Parliament received the frozen head, they would definitely look at their spoils carefully.

Kerrigan wondered if the nobles atop the towers of Tarsonis and those high in the Confederation were still human.This is a fact known to all Tyranids. The Federation has two huge criminal groups - the Marine Corps and the Federation Government.

The former is a collection of the most insane criminals. Nearly 50.00% of the soldiers are reformed criminals with a lot of criminal records. The crime of the federal government is far better than that of the army. Career politicians are ineffective.

If someone can be tried with the right to override the federal government, then a new set of sentencing standards must be used to judge the crimes of these people.

And Kerrigan knows that the only ones in this world who can exercise this right are the gods, but if they are real, then the gods must be pursuing an upside-down standard of good and evil.The gods let the punished go unpunished and the innocent die in vain.

As Angus' still beating but slowing heart pumped blood through the severed artery, Kerrigan inserted the blood-stained dagger back into the leather sheath and dropped the bloody head Go into the backpack behind Specter 24718.

The headless corpses were discarded carelessly, and the ghosts came out of the bedroom to leave.Mr. Shire, the butler of the Mengsk family, was standing at the door. He might have known about his master's death, and his grief made Kerrigan, who was very sensitive to it due to his telepathic ability, feel the same emotion.

Kerrigan offered some sympathy for the poor creature, and the psionic suppressor kicked in again, wiping out any extra emotion from her with the sting.

But that's not right - psionic suppressors don't work that way.

Her special psionic intuition suddenly flooded into her mind, as if ten thousand needles were piercing her brain fiercely, and some unknown danger was attacking her.

At this moment, Kerrigan's calf tensed, and his diffused telekinetic force began to spread in this layer but only found a dozen security guards and servants who knew nothing about it.

But this is not right, her powerful psychic intuition can never go wrong, since the danger does not come from people, then...
"It's a trap!"

The moment Kerrigan spoke, the Umoyan psychic shielding device that was on standby on the floor was activated.The entire No.60 floor was placed under a shielding force field that suddenly expanded, and her spiritual energy began to decline, as if being drained by an invisible force field.

These psychic shielding devices are by no means Korha's technology. They come from the Umoyan Shadowguard Military Academy. They are expensive, hidden under the hardwood floor, and the activation mechanism is connected to some kind of feedback device.In order to achieve the powerful effect of suppressing psychic energy, the installers frantically set up at least twenty psychic shielding devices.

Kerrigan didn't know what had weakened her, and she and another Ghost, 24718, were running down the corridor at such a speed that even the fastest runner in human history couldn't match Ghost at this moment With the help of the explosive speed of the combat uniform, it was too late.

At the same time as the psychic shielding device was activated, people in the central city of Stilling City heard a deafening roar. People who were sleeping were awakened, and the light from the explosion seemed to light up the night sky in an instant.

Bright flames gushed out of the windows on the 60th floor, shattering the windows of dozens of floors below, and after a few breaths, the top two floors collapsed as the supporting structure was blown off in an instant.

The huge Mengsk English letters on the roof fell uncontrollably to the ground, and the wall stripped by the shock wave fell like scraps of paper.

At this time, the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army who were still on duty in the shop or on the humanoid street could see the extremely bright light released from the top floor of the Mengsk Sky Tower.

Augustus woke up from a table in a conference room of a command center. He quickly changed into the dark gray military uniform of the Revolutionary Army, and with the assistance of two guards, he changed into a power suit composed of buckles and adhesive armor. armor, and then gave orders to the bewildered soldiers through the communication system of the command center.

After a brief silence, the barracks of the Mengsk Sky Tower erupted, and hundreds of soldiers from the 1st Division of the Revolutionary Army rushed to the barracks.Several revolutionary army companies in power armor rushed towards the Mengsk Sky Tower as quickly as possible. Their armor was dark red, and there was a white whip ring logo on their shoulder armor.

Neither the soldiers nor their officers knew what had happened. They were just suddenly told to arrest several federal assassins with powerful psychic abilities.

When advancing on the road, another troop of only a hundred people joined the ranks of these revolutionary soldiers. Their armor was the same as other soldiers, except that the logo of the Mengsk family's golden wolf head was added to the breastplate. It means that this force is still directly under Augustus himself and the actual Guards.

Only some officers knew the designation of this unit—Stilling's surprise raiders. They were a professionally trained anti-psychic force, and their establishment began when the Korhal Revolutionary Army was formally established.

Steeling strikers have anti-stealth goggles on their armor, and each squad is equipped with a 20mm boatswain's heavy sniper that fires anti-ghost weapons like EMP rounds.

Military planes rose from the requisitioned Stilling skyport, and searchlight beams crossed across the city.

Augustus turned around the conference table a few times, more marines poured into the conference hall of the command center, and an invisible Umoyan shadow guard put his hand on his shoulder.

Then, with a holographic projection turned on, real-time images were sent back from a transport ship hovering atop the Mengsk Sky Tower.The servants in the Sky Tower were fleeing in panic, some were knocked to the ground by the revolutionary soldiers who rushed into the tower, and there was even a stampede in the narrow area.

"Find them." Augustus said in the communication channel: "Keep a distance from each other and be vigilant. Your enemies are psykers, and their attacks can directly affect the spirit."

More images were sent back from several troops entering the Sky Tower. One troop climbed up step by step through the spiral staircase, followed by security personnel leading hunting dogs domesticated by Steele wolf, circling In the sky, civilian modified armed spacecraft searched for signs of life under the rubble.

Augustus stared at the holographic projection screen divided into multiple plates, keeping an eye on every possible unit that might encounter the Ghost agent.

Augustus started to make arrangements two months ago. After long-term thinking, he believed that passive defense is not good. Strict security measures can stop ordinary assassins, but ghost agents are a group of hard-to-reach people. Common sense superpowers.

The advantage of Augustus is that he knows that the ghost agent will definitely come to assassinate Angus Angus. In this case, he might as well set up a death trap-using his father Angus as the bait.

Augustus has always been used to taking the initiative to complete the transition between the roles of the offensive and defensive sides. This is his style of action.

Of course, that Angus is just a criminal with plastic surgery and memory transplants, using false memories to deceive Ghost Agent.

The explosives buried in the floor are connected to the pulse monitor of this "Angus". Once the heartbeat frequency is inconsistent with the normal value, the psionic shielding device will be activated to weaken the power of the ghost agent, which is enough to destroy a building. The explosives will detonate.

At the same time, this also means that in order to deal with the ghost agent's mind-reading ability to make this trap more difficult to detect, the Mengsk family security team and servants who are completely unaware of this on the 60th floor will become sacrificed, including allegiance to Mengsk. Shire, the housekeeper of the Sk family for many years.

Due to time constraints and the immaturity of memory transplantation technology, Augustus can't find so many criminals to replace these people for the time being, and ensure that everyone's memory will have no holes.

When Augustus made this decision, he too was silent about his ruthlessness.At first it was just those resocialized soldiers, now it can be others.

Augustus found that he had begun to sacrifice others to achieve a certain goal.

The current Augustus still feels at a loss, but maybe one day, even if he has to sacrifice tens of thousands of people, he will not have the slightest hesitation and will take it for granted.

The high-level security personnel and servants are the most loyal family guards of the Mengsk family. Most of them come from the Stilling slum and are beneficiaries of the Mengsk family’s children’s charity. They have been trained to serve the Mengsk family since childhood .These people are willing to die for the Mengsk family, but that doesn't mean they can be sacrificed at will.

But Augustus has no choice. His enemy is Sarah Kerrigan, the most powerful Ghost agent in history.As long as Kerrigan is alive, the life of Augustus and his family will be threatened at all times, like a stick in his throat.

Hope it's all worth it if--

Suddenly, a panel on the holographic projection screen was completely dark. It was a small spaceship that was about to land on the collapsed building.And another shot of a parallel spacecraft shows that the lost spacecraft is spinning and falling, and the glass of the cockpit is blurred by spattering blood.

"What killed him? The ship was hit"

"Raise the altitude, get out of there!" Augustus shouted at the same time, another spacecraft was hit, and the pilot's head was detonated by a 25mm caliber bullet. At this time, he could already see a piece of ruins red-haired ghost.

The fiery female ghost was holding a Gauss rifle tightly in her hand, her helmet had fallen off, and her blue and white environmental mimetic combat uniform was covered with blood.Kerrigan's powerful psychic powers protected her even when she was weakened and at the center of the explosion point.

Although she looked much weaker already.

Perhaps this is why Arcturus Mengsk, who has a hatred for psykers over the deaths of his family, abandons Kerrigan in the end.And if one day Kerrigan stood up against him, he would undoubtedly have trouble sleeping and eating.

"Kill her," repeated Augustus.

"Kill her."

Augustus would not put his chips on capturing these three ghost agents alive. Kerrigan's psionic power is level ten, just because the highest level of psionic power in the Tyrann Federation is only ten.Augustus doesn't know much about Kerrigan in the Ghost era, but he has at least seen the power of the Queen of Blades.

As the last ship began to lift and stretch the focus of the camera, soldiers sent by Augustus rushed to the 60th floor, which had become the top floor.

The Gauss rifle started to roar, but all the bullets stopped suddenly a few yards away from Kerrigan, as if fired into a gel, and then the bullets were crushed by a powerful force of thought, and then the bullets that lost their kinetic energy seemed to be crushed by The flattened cans fell to the ground.

"Don't get close to her, shoot from a long distance." The commander of the Revolutionary Army commanding this unit issued an order in the channel.

"Her psychic power is far beyond our imagination." Umoyan shadow guard beside Augustus said, "Maybe her psychic power is above level ten?"

"She's about to run out of psionic power," he said. "A living tenth-level psyker for our use is far greater than a dead one. The Shadow Guard has the technology to remove the federal ghost agent, which can make her become Back to normal — if you were normal before you became Ghost."

"Or study her," said Augustus with a coolness that surprised the shadow guard.

"Corporal Faraday," Augustus said, "connect to my channel."

"I'm here to talk to that ghost agent."
