Sarah Kerrigan put the pistol on her waist. The powerful power given to her by the environmental mimicry combat suit and psychic powers made her flip the dagger and cut his neck the moment she grabbed Angus Mengsk.
The dagger easily penetrated Angus Mengsk's neck, cleanly severing the trachea and arteries, and the movement was smooth without any stagnation.
It was like cutting through a piece of unblocked rubber or cowhide. When Kerrigan grabbed Angus's hair and lifted his head up, the blood spurting out from the carotid artery splashed on the ceiling like water jets.
and on the wall.
A revered freedom fighter and pioneer of revolution, his ideals may have been ludicrous, but he remains a hero worthy of Kerrigan's memory—until the next time scientists at the Ghost Academy erase her memory.
It all seemed too simple. He walked past hundreds of security personnel, sneaked into the Korhal Genesis Family Sky Tower protected by sophisticated security systems, and cut off the head of the rebel leader with ease.
Since Kerrigan started performing assassination missions, she has never failed. Ghost agents carry out assassinations in ways that are far beyond the boundaries of ordinary people's knowledge and imagination. They are just like ghosts walking in the world and messengers of death who harvest lives.
Unless the person being assassinated knows the assassination methods of the Ghost agents and understands how this largest organization of psychic assassins in history operates.
But this is impossible - this is top secret. Even the Federal Council knows nothing about it, they only know that ghost agents exist.
And that's enough. The rulers of Tarsonis don't care how the weapons operate. They only need to destroy the enemies of the Council. This is the meaning of the existence of psykers.
Angus Mengsk's cold gray eyes were tightly closed, and his face with a hawkish nose and three-dimensional facial features was like a statue. After the senior officials of the Federation Council received the frozen head, they would definitely look at them carefully.
of trophies.
Kerrigan didn't know if the nobles on Tarsonis Tower and the superiors in the Federation Council still had humanity. This was a fact known to all Tyranids. The Federation had two huge criminal groups-the Lu
Teams and the federal government.
The former is a collection of the most ruthless criminals. Nearly 50% of the soldiers are ex-offenders with numerous criminal records. The crimes of the federal government are far greater than those of the military. All laws that safeguard justice are against corrupt officials.
and well-packaged career politicians.
If someone can be tried with powers that override the federal government, then a new set of sentencing standards must be used to judge these people's crimes.
And Kerrigan knew that the only ones in this world who could exercise this right were the gods, but if they were real, then the gods must follow an inverted standard of good and evil. The gods let those who deserved punishment go unpunished, and innocent people died in vain.
While Angus' still-beating but slowing-down heart was pumping blood through the broken artery, Kerrigan inserted the blood-stained dagger back into the leather dagger holster, and then threw away the bloody head.
Enter the backpack on the back of Ghost 24718.
The headless body was discarded casually, and the ghosts walked out of the bedroom and prepared to leave. Mr. Charles, the butler of the Mengsk family, was standing at the door. He may have been aware of the owner's death. His grief made him very sensitive to this because of his telepathy.
Kerrigan felt the same emotion.
Kerrigan offered some sympathy to the poor man, and the psionic suppressor began to take effect again, erasing any extra emotion from her with the sting.
But something's wrong - psionic suppressors don't work that way.
Her special psychic intuition suddenly flooded into her mind, as if ten thousand needles were piercing her brain, and some unknown danger was approaching her.
At this moment, Kerrigan's calves tightened, and her spreading telekinesis began to spread in this layer, but only a dozen security personnel and servants who knew nothing about it were found.
But something is wrong. Her powerful psychic intuition is never wrong. Since the danger does not come from people, then...
"This is a trap!"
The moment Kerrigan spoke, the Yumo Yang psychic shielding device on the floor, which was originally on standby, was activated. The entire sixtieth floor was placed under a shielding force field that suddenly unfolded, and her psychic powers began to decline.
As if being drained by an invisible force field.
This kind of psychic shielding device is definitely not Korhal's technology. They come from the Umoyan Shadow Guard Military Academy. They are valuable and hidden under the hardwood floor. The activation mechanism is connected to some kind of feedback device. In order to achieve the powerful suppression of psychic energy
As a result, the installer was so crazy that he installed at least twenty psychic shielding devices.
Kerrigan didn't know what weakened her strength. She and another ghost agent 24718 ran in the corridor at extremely fast speeds. At this moment, even the fastest athlete in human history could not match the ghost agent.
With the help of the explosive speed of the combat suit, it was already too late.
At the same time that the psychic shielding device was activated, everyone in the central area of Steelling City heard a deafening roar. People were awakened from their sleep, and the light produced by the explosion seemed to light up the night sky in an instant.
Bright flames poured out from the windows on the 60th floor, and the window glass of dozens of floors below were shattered. After a few breaths, the top two floors collapsed because the support structure was instantly blown off.
The huge Mengsk letters on the roof fell uncontrollably to the ground, and the walls peeled off by the shock wave fell like scraps of paper.
Revolutionary soldiers who were still on duty in shops or on the humanoid streets at this time could see the extremely bright light emitting from the top of the Mengsk Sky Tower.
...
Augustus woke up from the table in a command center conference room. He quickly changed into the dark gray military uniform of the Revolutionary Army, and with the assistance of two personal guards, he put on a power suit composed of buckles and adhesive armor.
Armor, and then issued orders to the bewildered soldiers through the communication system of the command center.
After a brief silence, the barracks in the Mengsk Sky Tower began to boil. Hundreds of soldiers from the 1st Division of the Revolutionary Army rushed to the barracks. Several companies of the Revolutionary Army wearing power armor rushed towards the Mengsk Sky Tower as quickly as possible.
Tower, their armor color is dark red, with a white whip-grip ring logo on the shoulder armor.
Neither these soldiers nor their officers knew what was happening. They were suddenly told to arrest several federal assassins with powerful psychic abilities.
As they advanced on the road, another unit of only a hundred people joined the ranks of these revolutionary soldiers. Their armor was the same as that of other soldiers, except that the golden wolf head logo of the Mengsk family was added to the breastplate.
This means that this army is still directly under Augustus himself and is actually the Guards.
Only some officers knew the name of this unit - Stirling's Raiders. They were a professionally trained anti-psionic force whose establishment was established when the Korhal Revolutionary Army was formally established.
The Stirling Strikers are equipped with anti-stealth goggles on their armor, and each squad is equipped with a 20mm Bosun Heavy Sniper, which can fire anti-ghost weapons such as EMP rounds.
Military planes rose from the commandeered Stillling Skyport, and the sky above the city was full of cross searchlight beams.
Augustus walked around the conference table several times, and more marines poured into the conference hall of the command center. An invisible Umo Yang shadow guard put his hand on his shoulder.
Then, as a holographic projection was turned on, a real-time image was transmitted back from a transport ship hovering at the top of the Mengsk Sky Tower. The servants in the Sky Tower were fleeing in panic, and some people were rushed into the tower.
The revolutionary soldiers in the crowd were knocked to the ground, and there was even a stampede in the narrow area.
"Find them." Augustus said in the communication channel: "Keep a distance from each other and provide vigilance. Your enemies are psykers, and their attacks can directly affect the spirit."
More images were transmitted back from several troops entering the Sky Tower. One troop climbed up step by step through the spiral staircase, followed by security personnel holding hounds tamed by Steele wolves, circling behind them.
Civilian-modified armed spacecraft in the sky search for signs of life under the rubble.
Augustus stared at the holographic projection screen divided into multiple panels, keeping an eye on every troop that might encounter the ghost agents.
Augustus started to make arrangements two months ago. After thinking for a long time, he believed that passive defense was disadvantageous. Strict security measures could stop ordinary assassins, but ghost agents were a group of people who were difficult to defeat.
A superpower who can make common sense.
The advantage of Augustus is that he knows that the ghost agent will definitely come to assassinate Angus. If this is the case, then he might as well set up a death trap - using his father Angus as the bait.
Augustus has always been accustomed to taking the initiative to complete the transition between offensive and defensive roles. This is his style of doing things.
Of course, that Angus was just a criminal who had undergone plastic surgery and a memory transplant, using false memories to deceive the ghost agents.
The explosives buried in the floor are connected to the pulse monitor of this "Angus". Once the heart beating frequency is inconsistent with the normal value, the psychic shielding device will be activated to weaken the power of the ghost agent, which is enough to destroy a building.
The explosive will detonate.
At the same time, this also means that in order to deal with the mind-reading ability of the ghost agents to make this trap more difficult to detect, the Mengsk family security team and servants on the 60th floor who are completely unaware of this will become victims, including those loyal to Mengsk.
Charles, the Skok family's butler for many years.
When Augustus made this decision, he was silent about his own ruthlessness. Augustus found that he had begun to sacrifice others to achieve a certain goal.
Augustus still feels confused now, but maybe one day, even if he has to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of people, he will not hesitate at all and will become accustomed to it.
The high-level security personnel and servants are the most loyal family guards of the Mengsk family. Most of them come from the Stillling slum and are beneficiaries of the Mengsk family's children's charity. They have been trained to serve the Mengsk family since they were young.
.These people are willing to die for the Mengsk family, but that does not mean that they can be sacrificed at will.
But Augustus has no choice. His enemy is Sarah Kerrigan, the most powerful ghost agent in history. As long as Kerrigan is alive, the lives of Augustus and his family will be threatened every moment.
He was constantly threatened, as if he had something stuck in his throat.
I hope it's all worth it, as long as -
Suddenly, a section of the holographic projection screen went dark. It was a small spacecraft that was about to land on the collapsed building. The lens of another spacecraft parallel to it showed that the missing spacecraft
It was spinning and falling, and the cockpit glass was blurred by splattered blood.
"What killed him? The spacecraft was hit..."
"Raise the altitude and get out of there!" As Augustus shouted, another spacecraft was hit, and the pilot's head was exploded by a 25mm bullet. At this time, he could already see the ruins.
red-haired ghost.
The fiery female ghost was holding a Gauss rifle tightly in her hands. Her helmet had fallen off, and her blue and white environmental mimic combat uniform was covered with blood. Even though her psychic powers were weakened and she was at the center of the explosion point,
Kerrigan's powerful psychic powers still protected her.
Although she looked much weaker.
Perhaps this is why Arcturus Mengsk abandoned Kerrigan in the end. He hated psykers because of the death of his family. And if Kerrigan stood up against him one day, he would undoubtedly sleep and eat.
Uneasy.
"Kill her," Augustus repeated.
"Kill her."
Augustus would not place his chips on capturing these three ghost agents alive. Kerrigan's psychic power is level ten, just because the Terran Federation's highest psychic level is only level ten. Augustus's response to the ghost agents
Kerrigan didn't know much about it at that time, but he had at least seen the power of the Queen of Blades.
As the last spaceship began to rise and zoom out, the soldiers sent by Augustus rushed to the 60th floor, which had become the top floor.
The Gauss rifle began to roar, but all the bullets suddenly stopped a few yards away from Kerrigan, as if they were shot into gel. Then these bullets were crushed by powerful telekinesis, and then the bullets that lost kinetic energy seemed to be
It fell to the ground like a crushed can.
"Don't get close to her, shoot from a distance." The revolutionary army commander commanding this unit gave the order on the channel.
"Her spiritual power is far beyond our imagination." The Umo Yang shadow guard next to Augustus said: "Maybe her spiritual power is above level ten?"
"Her psychic powers are about to be exhausted." He said: "A living tenth-level psyker for our use is far greater than a dead one. The Shadow Guard has the technology to remove the Federation's ghost agents, which can turn her into a
Return to a normal person—if you were a normal person before becoming a ghost agent."
"Or study her." Augustus said with a coldness that surprised the Shadow Guard.
"Corporal Faraday," Augustus said, "Put on my channel."
