Snake was taken aback by the bottle Sheyan threw at him, but he still accepted it and took a few gulps of the liquor.
Probably because he drank too much, the amber liquid could be clearly seen dripping from the corner of his mouth onto the artificial muscle fiber suit below his neck. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
After a while, he asked in a low voice, "Brigadier General, are you here because of the strange movements in the temple?"
"The … strange movements in the temple?" Sheyan was stunned for a moment. "No, that's not it."
Sheyan straightforwardly revealed his purpose for coming here.
"Snake, as far as I know, the various magical abilities of GOHST can't be separated from the enhancement of mental strength. However, in the end, they still rely on various high-tech equipment. For example, the superhuman strength comes from the enhancement of the artificial muscle fiber suit, the invisibility ability comes from the special fabric, and the lock-on bullet also uses a powerful mental strength enhancement device. Am I right?"
Snake nodded. Obviously, he was not used to the stimulation of strong alcohol. He usually quenched his thirst with water, so he coughed a few times and said,
"That's right. We mainly focus on the cultivation of the mind."
Sheyan asked seriously.
"Then, have you ever thought about one thing, which is to make humans stronger physically?"
Snake was puzzled.
"Didn't the Empire make related attempts a long time ago, but all of them ended in failure? Stimulants seem to be the only successful thing developed by this research team. It's said that the fire-breathing warriors were also their products, but the research team was forcibly disbanded because they violated human ethics. "
Sheyan looked at Snake and said sarcastically.
"Do you really believe that a mere excuse of ethics can stop the ambitions of the experimenters?"
Snake was stunned. He could not help but ask in a hoarse voice.
"Then, what do you mean?"
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"The experiments have always been going on. They've just been underground, and they've already developed to a very high level. My existence is the proof!"
Snake's eyes were filled with shock and doubt at first, but when he heard Sheyan's last sentence, he immediately froze. He picked up a cigarette with difficulty, but after lighting it a few times with trembling hands, he did not light it up. The light cast a dark silhouette on his cheeks, making him look silent and dispirited.
Sheyan then earnestly continued.
"There were a total of 137 people who went through the biological enhancement test with me. In the end, only seven of them survived. Among these seven people, three of them were crippled, mentally retarded, or mentally deranged. Only four of them were normal."
"Among the four of us, I'm the weakest. We found out through a secret channel that … the inheritance of the Dark Templar of the Protoss race has been activated. After one of us went through an evaluation, he was recognized as having the strength to accept the inheritance. That's why he set off a month ago. After that, we lost all contact with him."
Snake looked at Sheyan like a child looking at a UFO or an alien. After a long time, he finally exhaled and smiled bitterly.
"Sir General, if I hadn't seen your strength with my own eyes today, if I hadn't seen with my own eyes how you survived the bombardment of photon shells, and if I hadn't seen with my own eyes how you hunted down a Zealot with your bare hands, I would've never believed you! Otherwise, I would've scoffed at your words. "
"But even so, I still find it hard to believe! The inheritance of the Dark High Templar … That's a terrifying trial that can only be completed in the Dark Sanctum. It's hard to imagine that a human can survive such a trial! "
Sheyan's heart skipped a beat.
"You should know something about it, right?"
Snake nodded and sighed.
"Sir, do you know why this planet is called the 'Lost Temple'?"
Sheyan answered solemnly.
"I don't know."
Snake hesitated for a moment. Then, he suddenly transmitted a message to Sheyan using his mental power.
"What I'm about to tell you is top-secret information of the intelligence department. Normally, it's not allowed to be leaked, but a legendary figure like you can't possibly leak it. So, I'll reveal it to you. A long, long time ago, the seemingly united Protoss race was once divided. That period of time is known as the Bloody Kalath Mediation Period!"
"During that split and civil war, the two major political parties, which already had obvious theoretical differences, had a bloody conflict and friction! In that conflict, many powerful technologies were lost in the depths of history. But now that the Protoss race has been forced into a very difficult situation, they lifted the taboo from back then! According to our accurate information, the Supreme Council of the Protoss race has obtained many of the lost technologies. We can confirm that the new military classes are the advanced Dragoons, the 'Immortal', and a new aerial warship, the 'Phoenix'! "
"Your information is correct. The reason this place is called the 'Lost Temple' is because there really is an ancient Protoss temple here! Moreover, the people in this temple are the elders who survived the bloody split. Therefore, their inheritance ceremony is different from that of the current Protoss race. The Dark Templars they train are also more powerful. More importantly, they are guarding a secret, a huge secret! This is also the reason why my son and I have come to this planet four or five times! Even those damn higher-ups no longer believe us! "
"The Dark Templar temple on this planet is actually just a cover. It's an extremely secret existence to begin with, so anyone who hears something and comes to investigate it carefully will be fooled by this cover and think that this is the real secret. That's why the manufacturing base that has lost its power for thousands of years can remain dormant for thousands of years until now."
"That base is the production base of a powerful mysterious military class that has been sealed away in history. Legend has it that it can cross any mountain range or river. Legend has it that it was once a symbol of the highest technology of the Protoss race, just like the Mothership! Legend has it that even thousands of Zealots would vanish in front of it! "
"What?!" Sheyan gasped. Yes, there was no doubt that the powerful Mothership of the Protoss race was the symbol of the entire race, the glory of the entire race! The powerful pressure that slowly emerged from the dim starry sky was something that no other military class could compare with.
But according to Snake, the Protoss actually had a military class that could be mentioned in the same breath as the Mothership in terms of lethality and deterrence! This was as perverted as the US imperialists hiding Weapon X that was comparable to nuclear weapons in addition to nuclear weapons!
Snake also noticed Sheyan's gaffe. He looked at Sheyan and said word by word,
"The name of that weapon is the Colossus! (A military class that appeared in StarCraft II). I came here to wait for the moment when the Dark Templar Temple's security was lax. Then, I would enter the ancient factory that produced the Colossus and completely destroy its manufacturing process! My son died seven years ago because of this. Therefore, I am very clear about the situation here, and I will not give up on my mission! "
Sheyan looked at Snake and said slowly, "You're right.
"My friend said that it's very risky for him to try to accept the inheritance of the Dark Templar. It's actually better for him to die. What he fears the most is that he will become a monster like the Queen of Blades. So, my mission is to find my friend and bring him home, or … kill him. So, I think we can work together this once."
Snake nodded in satisfaction. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, looking very tired.
But Sheyan still did not want to sleep.
He leaned against the wall to rest for a while, then stood up, opened the supply depot door, and went out. He then turned the door and closed it.
Even though he was in the belly of an underground mountain, the biting cold air still caused him to shiver!
Sheyan opened his palm and saw a blue crystal the size of a grain of rice shining in his palm. He obtained it after killing the Dragon Knight, and it had appeared in his personal storage. Sheyan was very curious about the use of this thing. After some careful inquiry, he found the description:
[Ordinary Protoss Soul Essence: Because a small amount of the power of Noah Realm C still remains in your body, the souls of the Protoss troops killed by you will be forcibly retained. The stronger the soul, the higher the chance of this Soul Essence appearing, and the higher the purity.]
[Mass of this Soul Essence: 1.4 units.]
[This item can only be used on friendly storyline characters. Each unit of Protoss Soul Essence will increase the strength of the target creature by one level of attack, one level of defence, and 33% of HP. When the target creature is judged to be an elite creature, the effect will rapidly decrease.]
[This item cannot be taken out of this world.]
***
After staring at the Protoss Soul Essence for a while, Sheyan put it back into his trouser pocket.
He had not yet decided how to use this thing, because there were too many targets he could use it on. He had to carefully weigh the pros and cons before deciding.
"How strange." Sheyan suddenly recalled something and muttered to himself.
"When Snake revealed the secret, I thought I would receive a quest related to it. But the quest notification didn't give me any. Why is that?"
Sheyan's fingers tapped on the rock incessantly. His thoughts were jumping incessantly.
"Does the Realm think this mission is too easy? That I can get it easily? Is that why it disdains to issue this mission to me so that I don't earn points? That shouldn't be the case, right? Or is it because the mission is so difficult that I have no chance of completing it? Okay, that's very likely. "
"However, there seems to be a third possibility, and I think that this third possibility might be the … truth behind the scenes!" If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
