The next journey was a torment, for Heinrich and for Gavin. So when the airship stopped, they sighed in unison.
”Your Majesty, we have reached the gate of the Palace of New Versailles ... Hmm ?! What is going on with you ?!”
Heinrich's nose was swollen and his face was swollen, and the dry blood in the two tubes under the nasal cavity seemed quite ridiculous. The security officer watched him come down with a stunned look, as if someone owed him five million: ”It's okay, I fell.”
Guardian: ”...”
You must have hit the front with a ”pop!”
Heinrich stared in many strange eyes, and opened the rear hatch, and stretched out his hand to carry Gavin out.
Gavin is actually uncomfortable. Heinrich's coat has a strong pheromone atmosphere. Comrade Biaron's sheets are stronger and more direct. He smoked with panic and shortness of body along the way. He just hated why he couldn't. Hit a wall and fainted.
Gavin is a person who is calmer and calmer on the surface and more turbulent. Compared with the emperor's pure resistance to the impulse, his psychological activity is much more complicated: Why is Lao Tzu affected by pheromone, am I really? No, no. Even though I am already, am I ”the kind” that obeys lp's nature and is gentle and docile? !!
He was wrapped in Heinrich's coat, and at the same time was held by Heinrich in his arms, his eyes seemed to be owed 50 million.
”Listen,” said the emperor, striding towards the palace steps, in a voice that only the two of them could say, ”I don't want to mark anyone, I think you probably don't want to be marked either. It's easy, as long as you obey You wo n’t be harmed in any way. In the future, you can find which lp you want. It has nothing to do with me. ”
”You only want mecha Phoenix,” Gavin affirmed.
”Very clever, but I only need the cockpit of the Mech Phoenix.” Heinrich frowned and asked, ”Have I heard your voice?”
”You heard it wrong.”
”...”
The New Versailles Palace is built of all-white moonstone, as if exuding a soft light. The interior of the palace is well-organized, with few furnishings. A wide area of pale silver ground on the doorway is clean enough to reflect people.
The emperor passed through the lobby, and at the end was a row of circular glass domes. Through the glass cover, you can see that the negative floor is a laboratory that contains a lot of biochemical instruments. The elevator behind the door takes them straight into the ground. A few researchers in white coats are waiting on both sides.
Gavin noticed the emperor's intentions instantly.
He wanted to study Phoenix's spiritual link and find a way to take out the cockpit without disassembling the mech.
”We will give you a certain amount of brainstem stimulation through imitation spirit plugs, which may be a little painful.” Heinrich leaned over and placed Gavin on the alloy bed, saying ”but if you are not struggling, A few seconds passed. ”
Gavin stared at him: ”I have a question.”
”Say.”
”Why do you want the cockpit?”
The emperor was silent for a while, and slowly said, ”For the future of the country.”
Gavin noticed that he was talking about the state, not the empire, and the two words had very different meanings in the common language of the empire. But he didn't have much time to ask, because Heinrich closed the glass cover and made a squeak.
Gavin was sealed on an alloy pusher, and a robot arm protruded from the outside, pushing him into a huge operating chamber like a coffin.
”The spiritual connection between the driver and the mech is actually achieved through bio-electromagnetism. In the ancient Earth era thousands of years ago, people could not explain the wonder of this electromagnetic, so it was called the soul.”
Countless electrodes extend from the operating compartment and connect to the rectangular computer square array and connect to the floating screen. The researcher turned on the screen and motioned the emperor to look at the complex lines of various colors:
”It is almost like this to” draw ”the soul through a specific spectral language. After the operation starts, we can see the deep-memory picture in the target's mind, and the degree of clarity depends on his mental threshold.
”What we have to do now is to scan his” soul ”and make a copy, then strengthen the radiation, let the crest exceed the spiritual threshold of Marshal Silia. Then we can forcibly connect with Phoenix, order it to turn on and send Cockpit. ”
”Is it harmful to the human body?” Heinrich frowned.
”We will try our best to avoid-young and healthy are rare, and no one wants to hurt him.”
The emperor was solemn: ”Please do it.”
The researcher nodded suddenly.
Of course they would do it, even if the emperor didn't say it. The nature of lp has a desire for protection. Even if the emperor lives for hundreds of years and is still a member of the dead group, they have to let this survive.
After a long preparation of the test, everything was finally ready. The researchers injected the stimulant into the needle tube, and a few inches of alloy needles slowly protruded from the operating cabin, aiming at the top of Gavin's head.
Gavin's whole body hoop was tightly fixed, and he couldn't even turn his head slightly. He could only watch the needle peep down.
Then his skull was cold.
It felt indescribable, and after the pain of the drama Liè was numb-the existence of the needle was so clear that he felt that the entire skull gap was slowly opened.
The brain tissue was gradually pierced, and Gavin trembled, and began to struggle frantically!
”Don't move!” Roared from the communicator: ”It's going to be off!”
The metal hoop was tightened suddenly, and the huge force fixed Gavin deadly to the point where his muscles could not be tightened. Those few seconds were endlessly long, Gavin was pale in front of his eyes, and his consciousness was hazy.
His soul seemed to float, looking down and looking down, staring coldly at himself.
Is this me He wondered.
”What am I? ”I” come from nǎ?
In the long river of time and consciousness, why did such an ”I” happen?
Gavin closed his eyes and wondered how long it took before he opened them slowly. The sight before him had changed. He seemed to be standing in a corridor where the front and back could not be seen. The cold through-wind was blowing from the dark, licking his neck like a snake letter, and his nose was full of salty and humid water vapor.
He realized it was some dusty memory.
... but this is n?
Gavin tentatively moved forward, but only encountered a chaotic black mist. He had just wanted to go forward, but suddenly his hand was grabbed.
”--Congratulations you deceived the old guys who had vegetarian meals in the corpses, but I can see through you.” A pale man approached him, his whole body of black armor almost blending with darkness: ”I know your trick.”
Gavin somehow thought he was familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was anyway.
”You are a two-sided liar, and you have your place in both light and darkness. But from now on all myths will be broken, because my eyes will stare at you, and I will always monitor your every move- ”
The man smiled awkwardly, but then Gavin interrupted him:
”It doesn't matter, Yunes. To me you're just a rat in the sewer.”
He turned and walked in the other direction of the promenade, followed by the roar of the man behind him: ”Wait until the day you are defeated by me, Silia!”
Celia didn't look back or even look.
”--dream.”
The scene changed suddenly, and the dark promenade went quickly, and I didn't know when it was full of sunlight.
Gavin opened his eyes and found himself in a very different hallway: the sun was streaming down from the glass windows, everything was shrouded in a warm halo, brilliant and unclear.
Outside the window was a flat playground in the afternoon. Several soldiers were sweating to do physical training. The sun was shining on their bronze-colored muscles, and even sweat was shining.
