Before he could speak, Kazami continued, "I was forced to train when I was young. They trained me as a killing weapon. I started killing people when I was ten years old. At that time, I didn't even have a clear understanding of death."
"Later, I joined the Marine Corps. Now everything seems so absurd and ridiculous. I even doubt the reality of my world. Why would the US military let a child go to the battlefield? Even if they had great power, they couldn't do that."
"The world I live in is a modern society, with media, public opinion, and even every scene on the battlefield will be photographed by reporters as first-hand news... You won't understand it now, Ms. Kasumigaoka."
Kazami Yuji spoke calmly, as if he was telling a story, and continued: "No matter whose blood it is, it's always hot, about 37-39 degrees, no matter how beautiful that person is. Just like you, and Miss Yukinoshita, your blood has a unique fishy smell, but the concentration is different. Some of those smells are within my tolerance range, while others make me want to vomit."
"You don't understand how it feels to be the civilians who warmly entertained us yesterday, but today they are shooting at us with AKs. You don't understand how it feels to pull the trigger on a seven or eight-year-old soldier. That's why you can say such childish consolation without any psychological pressure. All of this is too unreal for you."
Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at Kazami blankly, and finally she opened her red lips and whispered two words, "Sorry."
Kazami shook his head slightly, "I'm not blaming you, I'm just stating my opinion, because it wasn't you who made the choice, it was Miss Yukinoshita and the captain."
"I know your intention is good, and you want to relieve Miss Yukinoshita's psychological pressure, but if the choice is yours, how would you choose?"
"The choice is mine..." Kasumigaoka Utaha's tone faltered, and a hint of panic gradually emerged in her eyes...
Seeing her serious assumption, Kazami Yuji suddenly pulled out a pistol and threw it at her. In the face of her puzzled expression, he suddenly pointed at Nobuyuki Sugo who was standing beside him and said, "Kill him."
"Kill, kill him?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes slowly widened and she stared at Kazami in disbelief.
Since coming to this world, everything she has seen has overturned her three views, so much so that when she saw the cruel and violent side of Yukinoshita, she even had the illusion that she was having a nightmare.
For a moment, Kasumigaoka even felt a strong fear of Yukinoshita.
It wasn't that she crushed Arias Yusuke's knee without batting an eyelid at the beginning of the mission, nor was it that she heard that one of the thugs who blocked them in the park died in the hospital.
Instead, when Yukinoshita shot Dr. Aiden, he shot bullets into the heads of 'Zawakoshi' and 'Saionji Sekai' without hesitation before her.
These two times were the first time she witnessed murder with her own eyes. Her legs went weak and Kasumigaoka even subconsciously wanted to scream, but she held it back.
For some reason, seeing someone being killed in front of me was more terrifying than being chased by insects, and the executioner was a friend I was familiar with.
Then, through self-hypnosis, this fear gradually subsided. Kasumigaoka Utaha thought she had gotten used to it and forced herself to get used to it.
But feeling the heavy weight of the gun in my palm, feeling the cold temperature, looking at Nobuyuki Sugo's almost crazy look...
She raised the pistol tremblingly and pointed the muzzle at him...but the dark muzzle's trembling changed from slight to large-scale shaking...
In the end, a slender white hand pressed down the black pistol, and Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was sweating profusely, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not the right time yet. This was also the first time that Hui faced an alien. Even at that time, she couldn't kill without scruples."
Yukino gave a faint smile, took the pistol back and threw it to Kazami.
She turned to Kasumigaoka, took her hand and said seriously: "Choosing to help the Zerg will destroy my psychological defenses. Choosing to help the humans, Kitahara-kun might be killed by the Zerg God. I know what you mean. You want me to give up my right to choose."
"So you are no longer hesitating?" Kasumigaoka Utaha breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Kazami, "I am not putting pressure on you. You misunderstood, Kazami-kun."
"I am emotional." Kazami nodded and put the gun back into the ring, then looked at Yukino, "What should we do next?"
"Even if the Zerg attack with all their might, they may not be able to break through the Earth's defenses. We should be able to negotiate with Kitahara-kun. He won't stand on the Zerg's side."
Yukino focused her gaze on the projection again and continued, “I just spoke to the marshal, and I don’t think they can destroy this planet at all costs;
The biggest difference between humans and Zerg is their view of their own kind. They lost 20 people in the previous battle. That mistake was enough to make most of the top leaders criticized. If they dare to do this again, even the commander-in-chief will be brought to a military court."
Kasumigaoka Utaha asked in confusion: "So what do you think?"
"I think we have been misled. There is no choice at all. The choice is the option given to us by the Insect God. No matter how incredible the mission seems, the observer will not set up misunderstood missions. The core of the mission is to kill the Insect God. As long as it dies, the battle will be over."
Feng Jian turned his head to look at Aso Takuto who was already lying on the ground writing and drawing, and continued to ask: "So, what should we do?"
"If we do nothing, the commander-in-chief will contact us. After all, we have said everything we need to say except the red line secret. I don't think she will give up on Kitahara-kun. In their eyes, victory is inevitable. Studying our abilities will be more attractive to the future development of human civilization."
Xue No sighed slowly, "The brain worm did a good thing after all. Blocking the news gives us the initiative. At least we can choose what to say and what not to say..."
Before the girl could finish her words, a frame suddenly popped up in the projection in front of her, and the newly appointed Grand Marshal Tehet o Meru appeared on the screen.
She is exactly the same as in the movie, a black woman, about 50 years old, and a radical.
Yukino nodded slightly to the projection, "Hello, Marshal."
"No, I'm not okay, very not okay." Tehetmeru had a cold expression and asked in a cold voice, "I want to know why that monster would 'summon' him. You still haven't been able to give me an explanation. They seemed to be talking very harmoniously?"
"It's not a 'summoning', but a threat. It wants to know our secrets." Yukino answered honestly.
"Ahaha~ What a coincidence, I wondered that too, Acting Captain."
The marshal smiled with an expression that clearly showed he was suppressing his anger. "I have ordered an investigation into you. You have a complete service record and a file of your growth on Earth."
"But the military academy you graduated from, the instructors who trained you, and even your classmates, anyone who had 'close contact' with you, all have very vague memories of you. They can fully describe any details of their time with you, but they feel that it only exists in their memories, like an experience in a dream."
Xue No was about to speak, but shook her head and said, "Child, I know which of your words are true and which are lies. Putting aside your actions, I can even see your sincerity from your expression."
"The stubborn old men at the institute just told me that you can't be from Earth. Humans can never control all kinds of energy with the power of their bodies. But there is no evidence that you carry any power related to 'technological tools'."
"And can I now assume that you told the secret to the Zerg, but chose to hide it from me?"
Facing the Marshal's questioning gaze, Xue Noi remained silent for dozens of seconds before she said apologetically, "What we should be most concerned about now is how to rescue the hundreds of thousands of soldiers on this planet and the threat to the Earth."
Seeing the girl deliberately changing the subject, the marshal gave a meaningful look, "So how do you think we should rescue them? That monster has great power. It is the planet itself. As long as it wants, our starship and other equipment will be paralyzed. You know why it creates a magnetic field."
"Any lie needs to be covered up with countless lies." Yukino said with some struggle, "Our goal... is to win."
"Ah yes—the object is to win. I have never doubted that."
In the projection, the Marshal's eyes seemed somewhat profound. "You have thwarted the conspiracy of the brainworms and uncovered the traitors of mankind. Like us, you have always stood on the side of justice. I can exclude all sensitive factors and trust you unconditionally. But I think you don't know... why my predecessor resigned."
Yukino's eyes slowly widened, and an ominous premonition grew in her heart.
"We've suffered several disastrous defeats, and that idiot's cowardice cost us three hundred thousand coalition soldiers, and this mistake is enough to make me follow in his footsteps, or even worse. He will just resign, but I will be court-martialed and probably executed. I think you know what I mean."
"Grand Marshal..."
"Don't look at me like that."
Tehetemeru shook his head slowly. "I am not afraid of death. After all, it is because of me that so many people were 'kidnapped'. Kidnapped, haha... What a funny reason. For the future of mankind, I am like a funny clown, performing an exaggerated show on the stage of the universe."
Xue No's eyes gradually became anxious, "I still can't decipher that text... I don't know which planet the Zerg god is attached to... If I can..."
"No, it's not your fault, it's my fault."
The Marshal's sharp eyes became silent. She seemed to have aged several years. She said softly, "Blair is just an exception. Today is the first time we meet, but I always choose to believe in you, and it is still the same until now, because you are also human beings."
The Grand Marshal glanced in the direction he seemed to be looking at Nobuyuki Sugo who was muttering something in a daze in the corner, and Yukino's gaze was also attracted there.
But when she was about to speak again, something unexpected happened when Yukino's eyes met with Sugo Nobuyuki's.
He was already in a half-crazy state, but suddenly he became excited, as if he had seen some horrible demon. His body kept backing away, and his loud cries attracted the attention of everyone on the bridge.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t look at me!!! Devil, bitch… Don’t, don’t kill me… I’m sorry, I just want to live, I want to live… Aaaaah!!!”
With snot and tears streaming down his face, Nobuyuki Sugo suddenly banged his head against the ground, making a 'bang bang' sound, and shouted hysterically: "Go home, I want to go home... Why me, why, mission, yes, mission, I can go home if I complete the mission, I can leave this world if I complete the mission..."
“Bang, bang, bang!!!”
Three consecutive gunshots made the bridge silent. The staff who turned around immediately adjusted their work attitude. They seemed calm, but everyone's heart was filled with fear.
But Yukino, with flames coming out of the muzzle of her gun, seemed to be in a daze. Her lips trembled slightly, and she turned her head almost mechanically to look at the projection again.
"If my guess is correct, you will leave after completing a certain mission?" The marshal said with a bitter tone, self-deprecatingly: "The most crucial information actually came from the mouth of a madman who poses no threat at all."
Chapter 65: Unsolvable Problems
Among the rocky mountains on the planet MP-2, Kitahara Sora was still standing on the thorns of the Insect God.
At this moment, the originally naked Jenny was covered with a layer of bone shell. If there were no bone wings behind her, Beiyuan Kong would even have the illusion that Queen Kerrigan appeared in front of him in the "Heart of the Swarm" expansion pack.
At this moment, Kitahara Sora suddenly felt that the strong sense of oppression disappeared when he faced the huge monster behind her...
"you……"
"sublimation."
Jenny's blue pupils changed for a while, and on that expressionless face, Beiyuan Kong actually read a look called "gratitude".
"Why is this happening...?"
Bei Yuankong subconsciously held his breath. In less than half an hour, Bei Yuankong actually felt that the Insect God had become even more powerful... Through these few words of information, it was as if it had an epiphany, as if it had understood some rules?
"Any intelligent life deserves respect, and so do you, human."
Any intelligent life deserves respect...right?
"Is that why you put clothes on her? Is that why you put away your 'momentum'?"
Kitahara Sora suppressed his inner throbbing and said calmly, "Okay, now it's your turn. Apart from telling me that the 'Observer' must be a product of a certain civilization, you didn't reveal anything else."
The Insect God incarnation seemed to be in a daze, staring at Bei Yuankong motionlessly, and it was not until thirty seconds later that he slowly spoke, "Every second in the universe, a star dies, every second a civilization is destroyed, and every civilization, every species has a unique DNA sequence, which will disappear forever if lost..."
"What do you mean?" Beiyuan Kong was a little confused, "You didn't answer my question."
Facing Bei Yuankong's repeated question, 'Jenny' still gave an irrelevant answer. It waved its hand, and the translucent light curtain in the sky suddenly changed, becoming dark and deep, with the brilliant galaxy reflected in it, vast, ethereal, and magnificent.
“Any civilization is allowed to perish, but the civilization that should least exist can survive forever.”
Hearing this riddle-like question and answer, Beiyuan Kong fell into confusion. After a while, he opened his mouth in shock, "You are afraid! What... have you realized! The civilization that should not exist... refers to humans?!"
Jenny slowly raised her head and looked at the boundless sky. "Fear... fear?"
The incarnation looked down at Bei Yuankong and nodded honestly in response: "I am a living being. The instinct of living things is fear. Fear allows individuals to survive..."
At this moment, Bei Yuankong's eyes suddenly changed. What he saw was no longer the barren and messy rocky mountains, nor the ferocious and terrifying insect gods, but fertile soil and tender shoots that broke through the soil in the sunshine...
As time passed and the sun and moon alternated, this unknown bud grew rapidly as if the fast-forward button had been pressed. Then the vision darkened and a big mouth appeared in front of the face.
"You invaded my mind!"
In the vibrant forest, Kitahara Sora shouted to the sky, but received no response. Only the sound like the voice of God lingered in his ears.
"Animals have a fear instinct and will flee when they encounter a predator. Insects also have a fear instinct, so they have evolved various defense organs and have survived because of fear."
The scene changed, and Beiyuan Kong saw an indescribable ancient creature lowering its head to gnaw on the emerald green food. Suddenly, as if it heard something, it raised its head alertly, and then began to run for its life.
But the next second, he was caught by a creature with sharp teeth, torn into pieces and swallowed.
"The fear instinct of any species is targeted, and the direction of their evolution is also targeted, for hunting, for survival... But only human fear encompasses everything, all species, all unknowns."
At this time, the picture changes again, similar to the Jurassic period, with the roar of beasts galloping on the vast plains, and a large group of herbivorous dinosaurs being chased by a group of small predators.
They nimbly leap onto prey that are several times, even ten or a hundred times larger than themselves and bite them indiscriminately until the prey falls down wailing.
As they were eating, they suddenly let out sharp cries and fled in all directions. A huge Tyrannosaurus creature walked slowly towards them with not very fast steps...
Then, a pinpoint-sized light appeared in the sky. In just a few seconds, the light became brighter and brighter, and expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye...
A comet with a bright light hit the earth.
Bei Yuankong subconsciously covered his face, but his vision went dark and he found himself in the universe, with the beautiful blue planet under his feet - the Earth.
Jenny suddenly appeared beside him, pointing at the Earth and saying in a neutral tone, "I am a living being. I have existed for hundreds of millions of years, calculated in Earth years. I spent hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions of years evolving wisdom. I learned to think. I have absorbed species and created species. I am civilization."
Beiyuan Kong slowly turned his head and looked at Jenny's profile. He seemed to understand something, but it seemed that he was still missing a crucial point.
"You humans have already overturned the hypothesis of ethnic origins, but you have no way of finding your own origins... Human civilization should not have appeared on Earth."
Jenny stared at Beiyuan Kong intently and said word by word: "I have swallowed countless species and absorbed the wisdom of countless creatures, but only humans make me rethink."
"I once swallowed up the remains of a complete creature under the glacier hundreds of millions of years ago. They once existed on this planet. They had limbs, and each individual had an independent mind. Their DNA matches yours by 98%, but they are not chimpanzees."
Kitahara Sora couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Is it... a human?"
Jenny did not answer, but continued to talk to herself: "They made me understand the meaning of ethnicity, so I began to 'create'. They made me understand 'society, class, culture, and civilization', so I engraved the seeds of 'civilization' in the DNA of my creation."
"But they don't seem to understand. After tens of millions of years, they are still like lower creatures. So I modified the DNA sequence of the creatures to create special individuals and gave them some of my wisdom, allowing them to have the ability to think and learn."
Beiyuan Kong understood clearly that this was the origin of the Zerg. The Zerg might not really be the Zerg. It was the 'Creator' in front of him who deliberately designed them to be like this, designed them to be most suitable for survival.
"I stole their knowledge, but I don't know how to be grateful, I don't know how to express my gratitude... They were prosperous, they were glorious, but they are extinct."
The avatar glanced at Beiyuan Kong and continued, "But after hundreds of millions of years, they returned to my sight again, developed rapidly while I was asleep, and launched an invasion."
Kitahara Sora murmured, "Sure enough...it's a human!"
It waved its arm, and Beiyuan Kong suddenly became alert, as if his soul and body returned at the same time. He stood on the insect god's hideous limbs again, and the whole world became unusually quiet.
After turning around, he was shocked to find that a strange scene was happening in the human reinforcement position in the distance. All people, including the infantry, walked out of the starships and armored vehicles as if they had lost their souls, and all raised their heads to look in the direction of the Insect God, even Rick and others on the other side did the same.
Its spiritual network has spread across the entire planet, and can even temporarily paralyze hundreds of thousands of independent spiritual individuals...
But at this moment, Kitahara Sora suddenly discovered that at the front of the queue, a dark shadow was twisting abnormally on the ground as if in great pain. It was Kobayashi Daigo, who had the highest mental power in the team!
Suddenly, Beiyuan Kong turned his head abruptly and stared at the Insect God with narrowed eyes, "Are you forcing me?"
"I'm not the one who coerced you, and I have no intention of eradicating your kind." Jenny frowned slightly. Kobayashi Daigo, who was struggling, was immediately startled and slowly climbed up like a puppet.
