1329, Heart of the Swarm (twenty-nine)

 ――TR.82.11.28――

Tarsonis, sheltered area.

After the strange human-shaped object fell from the sky, the voices of the Federation soldiers who were relatively close to Arcturus were also heard.

"That's... a person?"

"Don't be stupid, it's impossible."

"Shut up and stay alert, if it shows hostility to us..."

"Just fire?"

"Retreat immediately! It is strictly forbidden to fire to anger the opponent!"

Obviously, judging from the reaction of the federal soldiers, their superiors were relatively clear about what was happening in the blockade area, and had no intention of attracting the hatred of the two groups of monsters who were fighting each other.

It's just that because they don't have any reliable psychics, they don't know that this is equivalent to slow death.

If the "powerful spiritual source" Emil refers to is the "person" in front of him, he may have discovered himself.

Even if Emile's "Force Power" is stronger, the sudden blank space in the "Psychic Radar" is problematic no matter how you think about it.

Arcturus used his half-baked knowledge of psychic powers to speculate.

At this time, the focus of the field, the "man" who fell from the sky, held up his hood and walked towards the bridge defense line. This action made the soldiers subconsciously start to retreat.

Wait...Hood? Arcturus began to take a closer look at the "person".

From the appearance, "he" is a thin young man, wearing a white sports top, brown canvas pants, and a black sweatshirt with a hood. The face exposed under the hood is slightly gloomy.

On the whole, he does not have any "inhuman" characteristics, but the action of killing the giant beast with one blow has proved that he is by no means an ordinary person.

"[It's pointless to kill you,]" the hooded man's voice was hoarse and dry, but roughly understandable: "[However, if you lure the 'Thunder Beast' to attack the 'Node' again, I don't mind giving it to you.

An impressive lesson for people.]”

"Of course, sir, as you wish." A federal non-commissioned officer behind the blockade replied quickly.

"[Humph...]" The strange man snorted noncommittally, and was about to turn around and leave when his footsteps suddenly paused, then he tilted his head slightly and cast his gaze straight at Arcturus.

"...He found us." Arcturus glanced at the box Siwang was carrying.

"No, it's possible." Emil wrinkled his little nose: "If he finds us, I will chop him down."

There seems to be some problem with this causal relationship, but as long as my sister is happy, that's fine.

Arcturus shook his head and pushed the wheelchair to avoid the hooded man's sight, but he did not follow him.

"[I feel——]" The hooded man muttered to himself and took a step forward, scaring the federal soldiers on the defense line into retreating.

Beng--Beng-Beng-Beng--

At this moment, a group of long-range bugs that spit out bone spurs that Arcturus had seen in Marsala suddenly emerged from the "mud" behind the hooded man.

The bone spurs spurted out at the hooded man.

Crack, crackle——

The hooded man didn't even turn his head, only to see a black shadow dancing around behind him, knocking down or flying away all the incoming bone spurs.

When those black figures stopped moving, Arcturus could clearly see that they were three dancing vines on one side, totaling six. Although he didn't know how they appeared, the situation behind the hooded man was probably

Not very beautiful.

"[Hmph, it seems these bugs haven't learned their lesson yet.]" The hooded man glanced at the direction he was looking at before, then did a high and far somersault and landed in the middle of the swarm of bugs that was attacking him.

A black shadow passed by, and the attacking insects fell to the ground before they had time to make any movement.

Due to the distance, Arcturus could not clearly see the appearance and expression of the hooded man at this time. He could vaguely tell that he paused, then jumped up high, alternately stepping on the abandoned buildings around him to use his strength, and headed towards the blockade.

Went in the direction of the district center.

"Which idiot just shot him?"

"not me!"

"With that monster's strength, how could he care about us little water guns?"

"Shut up, everyone. Now pull back the defense line. You, write the report on this contact!"

"No -"

Ignoring the chaos of federal soldiers over there, Arcturus and his party walked a certain distance in the direction where the hooded man was looking before, and soon discovered his target, the invisible Sarah Kerrigan, and directly

Pulled her into Emil's "Force Illusion".

"Ms. Kerrigan, if you want to act with us, you can bring it up. Obviously the Federation's stealth technology is not good enough." Arcturus was relieved after confirming that the person the hooded man had discovered was actually Kerrigan.

By the way, I despised the Federation's technology.

"I have arrived while you were leisurely shopping, and I have a general understanding of the Federation's plan." Kerrigan refused to answer the question: "Have you figured out how to solve this matter?"

"Hmm...knock down the heads of both monsters?" Arcturus glanced at Emil.

They were discussing countermeasures before, but they were interrupted because the hooded man fell from the sky.

"Okay~" Emil raised his hand in agreement.

"That is the ultimate goal, although it is also the simplest," Angela continued: "Before that, we must find evidence that these two monsters were created by federal research and find a way to make it public."

"The evidence must be in the 'biochemical factory' where the explosion occurred. The Federation has no chance to clean them up, but that should be the deepest part of this 'battlefield'. Do we have to fight all the way there?" Arcturus frowned slightly.

"The reserve of weapons should be enough, as long as the enemies don't include the mammoth and the guy in the hood." Siwang patted the box in his hand.

"You go deal with the bugs," Kerrigan said, "Leave the plants to me."

"You do know that person." Arcturus said in a positive tone: "And he also discovered you before."

"I think he is no longer the person I know. If it is really him, he wouldn't have reacted like this when he found out about me." Kerrigan shook her head, "But I still have to talk to him."

"Oh~" Siwang sighed with a very understanding tone.

"Although I don't think it's necessary, I still want to explain," Kerrigan looked at Emile who stared at her with wide eyes: "That was my instructor at the ghost training base. After I left the federal ghost sequence,

I thought he had died or became a 'Ghost', but now it seems that he probably became a test subject for 'Psychic Leap'."

"I think his posture that is almost integrated with the vines should not retain any memory," Arcturus said: "However, it might be helpful to call him by his original name. What is his name?"

"Rham," Kerrigan paused, "Alex Rham."
