After looking at that body for a while, Soshyan recognized it as the possessed person he had found from Unbound Soul before.
It seems that Huron called him Goliath and took it seriously.
Soshyan blinked. Surrounding the throne were navigators, turrets and operation consoles.
But there are no heretic priests mumbling to themselves at the control table, no uniformed crew waiting for orders or adjusting settings, and no servitors inserting themselves into their seats, chattering or reporting slowly with mechanical voices.
Condition.
This is really a dream. Although there is no matching picture before, there is no better explanation.
"I am coming."
Soshyan said loudly.
[It seems that you have experienced many dreams]
【Sit down, Master】
He didn't laugh, even though it was really ridiculous to be told to sit in his own command seat, but Soshyan did it anyway just to see what would happen.
【I can almost touch you】
These words stung Soshyan's skin, and he looked up at Goliath, who was being tortured.
[You have not become the warrior you want to be]
[You are heading down the wrong path]
【There is something we must say between you and me】
【It must be now, it must be here】
【There will be no other chance】
The other party's intonation was very strange, like a discontinuous choir piece, but the tone was extremely obscure.
The Chapter Master of the Astral Knights sat motionless, forming a very patient image. He refused to let his anger and suspicion surface, and just looked away from the shattered body of the possessed man.
[You haven’t realized it yet]
Soshyan leaned on the throne just like he did on the real bridge.
"Even death can't shut you up?"
【Everyone around you is a scam】
Soshiyang frowned and found that the skull tied to the chain seemed to be staring at him with empty eye sockets. This illusion made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Really? So where did you get this wonderful knowledge?"
【Do you think this moment is meaningless?】
【Do you think I can't hear your faster heartbeat?】
Soshiyang gently stroked the hilt of the Shengyan Sword beside him, suppressing the thought of trying to explain, which made his head gradually ache.
"Go on."
He opened his mouth and maintained an unscrupulous attitude. Although he wanted to know something, he always guarded his thoughts.
This is most likely a trap in the warp, or a sorcery at worst.
It's also very possible that it's both, which would be bad.
[You don’t remember anything]
[You have always followed the path they set for you]
【An ancient chess game】
【But you should never enter】
[The chess player who manipulates you will not care about your life or death]
Soshiyang was unfazed and still caressed the hilt of the sword. The words the other party said were as obscure as its tone, but he had vaguely grasped the key.
"I think you're bluffing me, Husk."
[Why I lied]
【You know it yourself】
【Sol Tarvitz】
【Iago Severtarion】
【Taros Valkoli】
[It’s no accident that they appear next to you]
This may indeed be the case, but Soshyan had no intention of admitting it and remained silent.
【How much do you know about the past】
Soshyan shook his head, feeling that his mouth was suddenly dry and he wanted to swallow his spit.
"You don't want to pry into my secrets, devil. I know your essence and nature. It's a great mercy that I am willing to listen to your nonsense."
[Do you really think there are any secrets in front of me?]
"Who are you anyway?"
Soshyan frowned at this question.
[This question is meaningless to you]
[Who am I and how does it affect you?]
Soshyan swallowed again and began to think about the starting point of the topic.
Subspace has stolen all the definitions of the original realm, and even abandoned all physical disguises and the constancy of all things. He is not sure how this demon broke through the power of gray marrow and entered his dream. If the other party is really so powerful, then he will
We need to rethink the identity of this possessed person.
Or he must deal with the other person's existence in reality as soon as possible.
"What is the purpose of all the nonsense you said to me?"
【You have doubts】
【Since that person told you the future path】
[I had deep doubts every night]
Soshyan raised his head slightly and looked into the empty eye sockets of his skull.
"If you are really as omniscient and omnipotent as you say, then tell me what the essence of gray marrow is."
Rarely, that thing was silent.
It wasn't until Soshyan almost lost his patience that the other party replied in a low voice:
[It’s too early for you now]
【Too naive】
[If you really want to know the answer]
【remember】
【Find the Jackal】
Soshyan stared upwards at the broken bones that were nailed and the layers of symbols on them. These strange words quickly flashed across his retinal display, as if they were telling something.
"Jackal? What is that?"
But there was no response. He could feel that something had left, and there was just a dead thing in front of him.
While he was deep in thought, Soshyan's world once again fell into confusion.
The soft light filtered by the lampshade shone into his eyes. The first thing he saw, and the last thing he thought about, was the pure white ceiling of the medical cabin.
When he straightened up, he found himself lying on the medical bed, leaning forward, with various hoses connected to the end of the syringe inserted into his arm. The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Two pharmacists were looking at him, one of them
One is Valier.
"What's my situation now?"
Soshyan knew that he had fainted on the battlefield, and he also knew that the pharmacists must have carefully examined his body, so he asked his question straightforwardly.
The two pharmacists looked at each other, and Valier finally told them the results of their examination.
"Chapter Commander, we found that a thin metal mesh has appeared on your cerebral cortex."
Valere took out a scanned picture, then pointed to the shadow on it and said.
"They wrap around your brain like a fishing net. I don't know what the consequences will be, but in form, it's somewhat similar -"
As he said this, the pharmacist hesitated.
"Something like that, just tell me."
"Somewhat similar to the World Eaters' Butcher's Nails."
Hearing that word, Soshyan's eyelids jumped suddenly and his face darkened.
"are you sure."
"That's the case at the moment, but I still need to check further. The equipment on the ship is not enough to support this operation."
Soshyan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then decided to put the question aside.
"Where are we now? What is the war situation like?"
"We have now returned to the Nessen system. After you fainted, Malakin took over the command -"
Afterwards, Valer described in detail the situation after Soshyan fainted.
