Chapter 143 The End of the Hero
Chapter 143 The End of the Hero
[Even if you die, you have to die in a place where you can't find the seal of the light descendant. 】
The engine of the clam-shaped escape capsule has limited power, and Admiral Scott can only use the Stargate Gamma map that he just found from Yandao with the Emblem of Lightborn to fly within a short distance from the earth.Although he turned off the automatic positioning of the escape pod, he knew that sooner or later he would not be able to escape the search of the director's department.The general landed in a relatively hidden valley and dense forest on the surface of Stargate Gamma, opened the hatch, and climbed out.
The simple medical box placed under the captain's seat has limited space, and only contains a tube of medical gel, a dose of antibiotics and some disinfection consumables.Admiral Scott finished reading, cursed weakly, and squeezed a large piece of medical gel on his chest indiscriminately, which is better than nothing.
Relying on the tiny amount of anesthetic injected by Shenwei just now, he fought against the severe pain in his lungs, and walked deep into the dense forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Blood kept oozing from the front of his chest. He had difficulty breathing, hemoptysis from time to time, and his consciousness was about to blur.But he knew that he should try his best to stay away from the landing point of the escape pod, so as not to let the blood stains stay on the surface, so he hurriedly found a hidden corner to hide.
Even if you die, you have to die in a place where you can't find the seal of the light descendant.
After walking several hundred meters, the admiral was almost exhausted. He clung to the tree trunk next to him and coughed up blood uncontrollably.
He tried his best to send the coordinates to the major and the prince, and found a half-covered slope to sit down.He covered his chest with one hand, feeling the loss of life force.
Come on, let's hold on for a while.He trembled all over, gritted his teeth and said to himself.
A moment later, Shi Hui and Prince Ban arrived with You Ying folding the space.
"Admiral!" Prince Ban was the first to spot Admiral Scott, who was covered in blood, and rushed over quickly, holding his shoulder anxiously. "How did this happen? Did the Shenwei attack you?"
The general shook his head: "...it's your father."
Shi Hui supported the admiral for a moment.
"General, I'll take you to Zixun Hospital." Prince Ban leaned over and said.
"Don't go." Admiral Scott shook his head, "Marshal, you won't... let me survive."
Shi Hui's heart skipped a beat: He felt that his father and the admiral loved each other deeply, why did you die and I live like this.
"You guys, just, stay here... Listen to me carefully. Madara, Shi Hui... Good boy, come here, get closer." Admiral Scott felt that his time was approaching, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, Anxiously calling.
Seeing the general's injury, Shi Hui looked solemn.He realized that even with all the medical equipment he carried with him, there was no guarantee that Admiral Scott would be rescued.
The admiral also has no desire to seek help from the outside world.He summoned two close juniors here, just to confess his last words in person.
The corner of his pale mouth moved slightly, and he pointed to the synthesized voice output device assigned to one side of his shoulder, signaling Shi Hui to help him adjust it.His lungs were hit by R5's pulse gun, and he had difficulty breathing, and it was already difficult for him to speak complete sentences.
With a heavy heart, Shi Hui knelt beside Aiden Scott and helped him adjust the voice output, silently holding his hand.
"Shi Hui, for the next conversation, you only keep it firmly in your mind, don't tell anyone, do you remember?" the admiral asked him through a synthesized voice.
Shi Hui nodded vigorously.
Admiral Scott took his hand out of Shi Hui's hand, and he slowly took off a simple tail ring from his hand, and handed it to Shi Hui.
Shi Hui knew that this ring had been with the admiral for many years, and the seal was engraved with the initials of Aiden Scott, which the admiral had always worn with him and valued it very much.
"Members of the royal family wear black boxes, do you remember?" The admiral's synthesized voice explained softly, "My tail ring is modeled after the royal family's signet ring, and it also contains a small anti-magnetic Rubik's cube."
Prince Ban nodded as well—he also had a signet ring with olive branches and eyes printed on it, and there was a hollow miniature antimagnetic Rubik's Cube inside, which could store some key data.
"In this ring of mine, there is a memory fragment of Marshal Lightborn Tuxie. You put it away." Admiral Scott said here, his heart was ups and downs, and he coughed up another mouthful of blood. "The key to the black box is the biological Lock. Shi Emblem, you only need to insert a strand of your own hair into the small hole on the back of the ring to open the ring."
Shi Hui couldn't help frowning.
"I guess you want to ask why my ring is set with your biological lock, right?" The admiral laughed, "I didn't give it to you before, just because I was afraid that you would know the secret."
"—Now I can tell you everything." The admiral caressed the ring, feeling infinitely sentimental.
"General, tell me." Shi Hui pursed his lips tightly.
"Shi Hui, you are not the son of the marshal." The general finally revealed the great secret that had been lurking in his heart for a long time, "You thought the marshal was your father, but in fact he wasn't. You are his clone."
Guangzu Shihui was shocked, unbelievable.Prince Ban looked at Shi Hui in horror, but was also speechless.
"Everyone said that you inherited the marshal's mantle since you were a child, and you are almost exactly the same as he was when he was young. Your body shape, appearance, temperament, and preferences are all the same." The admiral lowered his eyelashes, "Have you ever thought But, why don't you have a little bit of your mother's shadow?"
Shi Hui was speechless: "So, you gave me this memory fragment for..."
"Memory empathy." The general nodded weakly. "If you don't believe me, you can load this memory fragment into your personal terminal. You and the marshal have the exact same DNA, and only you can perceive the marshal's inner thoughts when the memory is uploaded. This is something that even blood relatives cannot What you have done, this is the ironclad proof that you are a clone."
"The marshal has almost never disclosed his memory fragments to the public for many years, because he is afraid that you will come into contact with them through other channels and have empathy. The fragment you are holding is the only piece of memory that the marshal has been scattered outside for many years. .” The admiral paused with his head bowed, as if he didn’t intend to explain why he had the marshal’s memory fragments. "And his purpose of making the clone is to achieve the goal of immortality by implanting his lifelong memory into the young clone."
Shi Hui raised his eyebrows: This means...
"When the marshal was in middle age, he had the ambition to be Huo Dongxing forever. He planned to cultivate a young clone as his memory container. After a hundred years from his current body, he would transplant his memory to the young clone. Continue to live as Commander-in-Chief."
Shi Hui felt that his basic cognition over the years had been completely overturned, he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"His plan has several obvious shortcomings. First, the age from the growth of the cloned embryo to the fully matured brain of the clone, which can receive brain-computer implantation and memory transplantation, is too long, and it cannot be artificially accelerated. ; and in the process of independent growth, the clone will also produce its own brand-new memory and personality-this is you, although born out of the marshal gene, but also a brand-new you, Shi Hui."
When Prince Ban heard this, he couldn't help touching the major's arm, as if he was afraid that the person in front of him would disappear suddenly.
"Second—and this is probably what the marshal is most concerned about—although he has such ambitions, he is very afraid that this secret will be known, which will destroy his image of a glorious and upright leader. He wants to use his personality consciousness to continue living Go on, and think that such an identity is justified."
"So, he has a secret plan: declare the clone to be his son—this will first ensure that no one will suspect why you are so similar. Then encourage you to join the army and follow in his footsteps."
"You carry his genes, so of course you will walk smoothly on this road." Admiral Scott smiled palely, showing approval, "—but when everyone agrees that you can become the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, That's when he takes his place."
"And your personality as the light-born Shi Hui, it is impossible to coexist with him in the same body." Admiral Scott looked sad, couldn't help stretching out his bloody hand, and touched Shi Hui's face , staring seriously at the child who is guarding the grown-up child with his heart. "Although the Marshal has been your father for half of your life, it is hard to say that he has truly loved you. His ultimate goal is to completely disappear your personality, leaving only an empty shell to pave the way for him to power."
Shi Hui grabbed Admiral Scott's hand that was weakly pressed against his cheek, and there was an uncontrollable soreness in his nose.There was a blunt throbbing pain in his heart, he didn't know whether he was more sad for the general's loss of vitality, or he was disappointed and sad by his father's conspiracy.
Since he was a child, he knew that his father was a hero admired by thousands of people, and a commander in chief of the three armed forces who managed every day.His father was not his father alone—the young Shi Hui realized ignorantly from the portraits of marshals all over the empire—that his father was the leader of all Huo Dongxing and the hope of the entire empire.In the few parent-child moments he had with his father, his father was always in a hurry to deal with official business and attend meetings; after patting his head lightly, he turned and went to the next battlefield.Dad always has bigger things to attend to than him.
Come to think of it, he didn't even spend as much time with his father as he did with Admiral Scott.
The relationship between father and son is close, he thinks this is the normal state of father and son in the world; however, until now, he has tasted another chilling meaning - he finally realized that it is his father who has been avoiding establishing a deeper relationship with him. layers of emotional links.
Only in this way can this independent personality be erased from the young body without hesitation.
He was taught to inherit his father's mantle since he was a child, thinking about it now, it is actually very ironic.
"Admiral Li and I, as his confidantes, have gained insight into this secret. We know that the marshal is too ambitious and is not worth following."
"So Li Zhun and I joined forces to plan to create an accident and make him fall into a long-term coma like your mother did back then; after General Li and I got the military power, we will step by step support the real you—the Emblem of Light Generation—to board the The next generation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces."
"However, all of this has not yet begun, but it has brought a murderous disaster to General Li and me. The Shenwei AI is based on his personality, and it has murderous intentions on General Li and me long before the start of the exercise." Admiral Scott said in a deep synthesized voice, "And when the Shenwei made a move, the marshal sat firmly in the director's department, leaving the responsibility for the killing completely."
"—Your father, never let anyone who threatens his high position of power, even... me."
After Admiral Scott finished this sentence, his heart ached unbearably.He suppressed his emotions and prevented the younger generations from seeing his weak side.
