Kerrigan looked at the roaring face in front of her and thought calmly.
If I do it a few more times, I will probably form the misconception that "when people lose consciousness, they enter a strange space."
Although it’s still unclear whether I can be considered a human being now.
Previously, three seconds after discovering "darkness", Kerrigan had already judged that she had been swallowed by some huge creature. This was also very reasonable on the planet Zerus, which was full of liquid terrazine.
When she charged upward with the intention of punching through the thing's teeth, she failed to achieve her goal.
Although he penetrated the thick rock formations all the way, he felt as if he was getting further and further away from the surface.
Then the conclusion is obvious. What swallowed him was a rock structure, a monster many times larger than the conventional creature.
If you stayed in place, you might be able to judge the monster's "digestion" method and formulate corresponding countermeasures, but now you have clearly penetrated deep into the monster's body. There are only rocks around, knowing that they are actually part of the body of some kind of creature.
Under such circumstances, Kerrigan could not stop and could only continue to rush towards the "upper" judged by gravity.
Finally, after breaking through a stone wall that was stronger than ordinary rocks, she suddenly appeared in her consciousness space, and in front of her was this stone face that looked like a snake and a turtle, constantly roaring the same sentence.
After losing consciousness in the dangerous zone, Kerrigan immediately confirmed her condition, and then discovered that even in a presumably comatose state, she could still perceive the little bits of light from the representatives of the insect swarm she controlled, and she was the furthest away from the insect swarm.
The brightest light point should be your own body.
Judging from the distance, it has probably penetrated deep into the earth's mantle.
This state can explain the reason why the swarm of insects in Tarsonis was very flexible and cunning, but the "overlord" hardly moved - because it often forgot that it was also part of the swarm when controlling the swarm.
After repeated confirmations, Kerrigan discovered that "he" should not be injured or in any danger, but was just affected by someone with stronger psychic abilities than himself...most likely the person with the big face in front of him.
This is troublesome, ordinary psychic creatures are difficult to deal with, not to mention this guy who is probably crazy and extremely huge.
The body is too huge and difficult to completely destroy, but the consciousness...how to destroy a consciousness that has gone crazy?
Kerrigan began to miss Emil who could run around in her consciousness space at will.
However, could it be that the little Jedi girl is also afraid of this monster?
"[Damn 'ghost'!]" The big face in front of him repeated his previous roar.
No... I probably think this guy is too noisy.
Moreover, the strange thing is, why does this alien monster have such a big objection to the "ghost" under the Federation?
When Kerrigan began to consider using her mind to kill the big face in front of her, two "options" appeared in front of her.
[Spend seven days to compete with ‘Zurwen’ in will. (Success rate 70%)]
[Spend three days to understand the origin of the ‘Queen of Blades’. (Success rate 30%)]
Huh? Kerrigan looked at these two strange, street sign-like things.
It seemed that although the little girl was not happy to see this big face, she still offered her help.
As for the two options themselves…
The former is naturally to break through the mental blockade of this guy named "Zulwin". Although it takes a long time, it is likely to succeed because it is a madman.
The latter is to enhance the "Queen of Blades" itself by understanding the origin. Even with its current psychic strength, the success rate is only a meager 30%.
However, there is no mention here at all of what will happen after understanding the origin. It seems to be a tacit understanding that she can easily break through the blockade of "Zurwen", which is enough to prove how strong her original power is.
To be on the safe side, you should choose to have a confrontation of wills with Zulwen here. It is certainly not difficult to bully a madman.
But... Kerrigan took one look at that huge ugly face and wanted to stare at it for seven days in a row?
She decisively clicked on the "understand origin" option.
——???——
Wow - Wow -
When Kerrigan regained consciousness again, what he saw was a beach full of white sand and a blue sea that was constantly surging into the beach.
this……
Kerrigan could clearly feel the blowing sea breeze, the moisture and salty smell in the sea breeze, and the rough touch of the beach beneath her feet.
She raised her hand and saw a pair of slender arms with wheat-colored skin. Looking down, she saw a simple white cloth dress, the same wheat-colored slender legs and a pair of feet and sandals on the beach.
At this time, she belatedly discovered that she had a body again, although it did not seem to belong to her, but to an unknown little girl, and her physical fitness was only that of an ordinary girl-even though it did not seem to belong to her, but to an unknown girl.
Kerrigan herself, at her age, would not be so delicate.
If this is the past of the "Queen of Blades", then she has really worked hard.
"I always feel that... there are more and more mysteries surrounding the little Princess Korhal." Kerrigan whispered to herself, and then heard the girl's vocal cords say what she wanted to say, but she was probably not used to something.
Because of some words, there are some out of tune.
Latin-speaking, about sixteen years old, about one and a half meters tall, his race is still uncertain... Kerrigan analyzed each one one by one.
Ha...what are you doing analyzing this? The Queen of Blades has been born a long time ago, and this is just her memory at best.
No...wait a minute, if it's just witnessing memories, why is there a 70% failure probability?
Kerrigan just frowned when a row of text about the same size as the previous options appeared in the upper left corner of her field of vision.
[Return to Mr. Imiya’s research institute, 09:59.]
At the same time, a diamond-shaped sign also appeared simultaneously, and there was a mark below it: [645 meters]
This familiar task prompt mark made Kerrigan subconsciously touch her forehead, but she didn't touch the familiar goggles there, only her short hair fluttering in the sea breeze.
Walking 600 meters in ten minutes is a fairly simple task.
But if you can understand the origin by following these tips, how can there be a 70% failure rate?
Kerrigan shook her arms to cheer up and stepped towards the place marked by the diamond.
————
[Return to Mr. Imiya’s research institute, 00:32.]
"I was wrong, it really can..."
Kerrigan looked at the white wooden house on the other side of the cliff, not knowing whether to laugh or curse.
This is an island with a rather peculiar topography. It is crescent-shaped as a whole. The village is located inside the "moon bend", and your destination is one of the "moon tips".
When Kerrigan walked straight from the starting point to the position located on the retina, he arrived at another "moon tip". The distance between the two points was about ten meters. If it was Kerrigan himself, he would switch to "power mode"
She jumped over directly, but now she turned into a weak little girl and could only stare at the other side.
[Return to Mr. Imiya’s research institute, 00:00.]
【Loss of synchronization.】
The surrounding scene turned into pieces of black mist that dissipated and gathered again, revealing a scene that was no different from before.
Sea, beach, girl, countdown.
Although it takes half a circle longer, there is still plenty of time!
Kerrigan turned around and walked away.
[Return to Mr. Imiya’s research institute, 03:19.]
"Huh...huh...this girl's physical strength is too weak."
Kerrigan was already out of breath when she reached the target location around the Crescent Mouth.
"Next, what-"
Swish.
Returning to the institute and the constantly beating countdown were hidden with a check mark, and a new line of text appeared in its original position.
【Place plant samples outside the house.0/5】
Before Kerrigan could question how to get into the house, she lost control of her body.
"Ah, luckily I caught up. Mr. Imiah hates people who are not punctual." The girl said in a lively tone that was very different from Kerrigan. She found the key under the doormat, opened the door and walked out.
Got in.
The interior of the wooden house is a greenhouse-like structure. A kind of green herbaceous plant with long leaves is stored in large and small vessels. These plants are planted in a room with a glass ceiling outside.
Metal petri dish.
The pale white light emitted by these petri dishes corresponds to the positions on some flower stands outside the house.
At this point, Kerrigan regained control of her body.
"What on earth is this..." Since there was no time limit for this "mission", Kerrigan did not move the plant samples immediately, but looked at the labels of the plants one by one.
Sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, glucose solution, no light, soilless cultivation, continuous high temperature.
Kerrigan's eyes were opened to various harsh conditions. The botanist probably had a grudge against these plants, right?
However, Kerrigan looked around at the samples that, except for a few completely dead, were all growing lushly, couldn't help but shudder: How tenacious are their vitality? If they had self-awareness, how much would they hate this researcher?
Kerrigan had to think in this direction because she had seen too many plants in Tarsonis.
After sighing for a while, she finally remembered that she was here to complete a task, and then she began to move pots of flowers, or rather grass, out.
————
【Place plant samples outside the house.5/5】
Bang! Bang!
When this task was crossed off, Kerrigan stumbled involuntarily and fell to the ground.
Literally "involuntarily."
If she is still controlling her body, there are at least six ways to prevent herself from falling so embarrassingly, and three of them can be used by people without the strength to restrain themselves.
Thinking about it carefully, every time I moved out a pot of flowers, some pictures of unknown meaning would flash before my eyes. It seems that it was not an illusion, at least not the illusion of Kerrigan as the controller.
"Ah... uh..." The girl groaned in pain that didn't sound like pain, but more like dizziness.
She stood up holding her head, found a bottle of small pills in the cabinet with plants, and swallowed more than ten pills without drinking any water.
Even though Kerrigan couldn't control herself, she saw clearly what was written on it: "Plant Anti-Allergy Granules."
I have never heard of anyone being allergic to plants!
The symptoms don’t look like allergies at all!
This silly girl was tricked into becoming an assistant by some evil scientist!
Naturally, the girl couldn't hear her murmur, but she was obviously much better after swallowing the "allergy particles".
"Well... Mr. Imiya said that if you have allergic symptoms, you don't have to work today," the girl closed the door unsteadily, put the key back under the foot mat, and left the wooden house.
New tasks will appear immediately.
【Go home and rest.】
【Home, 2359 meters.】
"You idiot!" Kerrigan cursed after taking over the control of the girl.
However, she could do nothing but do this.
Not knowing the nature of the plant, not knowing how long she had been working, or what she had just eaten.
Now besides getting her home as soon as possible, Kerrigan couldn't think of anything else she could do to help her in this "experience plot".
No, even if it could be done, it would be meaningless because it happened in the "past" and the past cannot be changed.
"You idiot..." After controlling the girl for dozens of steps, Kerrigan cursed her again in a low voice.
There is no other reason. Even after taking "anti-allergy medicine", the girl still has strange hallucinations of various colors mixed in front of her eyes from time to time. Kerrigan is sure that she is walking in a straight line, but the footsteps behind her are crooked and awkward.
.
It is completely impossible to say that she has never noticed it, and that she continues to work in that strange place even so can only prove that the conditions at her home are very bad.
Further inference shows that when she stood at the beach before, she must have intended to use the blue sea and sky to dilute the strange color patches and illusions in front of her eyes - she succeeded. Kerrigan didn't notice anything unusual at first, and asked her to
He rushed back to the place where she fell ill so quickly.
From a rational perspective, this could not be Kerrigan's fault, but this "experience" was so realistic that she could not help but put herself into it.
In addition, perhaps it is intuition, or Kerrigan's analysis of the situation as a ghost, these judgments all point to the same result: this short journey is the final trajectory of this girl's life.
"Damn it..." Kerrigan ignored the chaos in front of her and continued to move forward relying on the diamond-shaped positioning coordinates.
【Home.247m.】
She should be approaching the village now. If someone can pick her up...
No, that's impossible, this is a fishing village, and boats out fishing can't return so quickly.
Kerrigan stood at the entrance of the village, listening to the silence in the small village ahead, and didn't know whether to be grateful or cursed.
The mission will be completed soon, but this girl is basically dead. If you want to save her, maybe you should go to the doctor in the village? But will there be such a luxury as a doctor here?
"Koo!" "Woof!" "Gah!"
While she was hesitating, two blocks of color, one brown and one yellow, flew past the girl's eyes, and then blood spattered out.
Kerrigan looked at the wild dogs holding a chicken by the neck in front of her, as well as the blood stains on their bodies, and felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, the line "Go home and rest" and the "coordinates" of home were crossed out by four or five horizontal lines.
What reappeared were two twisted words that looked like they were soaked in blood:
