The Lock of Life is a secret technique that was banned by the royal family and parliament after the Omnic Crisis.
This secret technique is responsible for saving mankind from the crisis of extinction, and it is also the executioner who has taken away countless lives.
Before going to the front line, human warriors will tie life chains with dozens of civilians to give their side an advantage on the battlefield.
People bound by the chains of life will live and die together, and the damage will be converted into life span penalties, which will be evenly distributed to everyone.
At that time, the human habitat was rapidly aging due to the deaths of frontline soldiers. Mummy corpses that died of dehydration could be seen everywhere. Those who were still alive were forced to work as scavengers, draining the reservoirs, closing the river valves, and turning them into rivers. The temporary crematorium used carts and wooden boats to dump the corpses of each family into the sea of fire. Everything as far as the eye could see was filled with fishy rain, and the legendary hell scrolls were nothing more than that.
Of course, there is no such thing as "humanity" among the Zerg. They have developed the Lock of Life technology very well. It not only simplifies the binding process, but also can forcibly bind the Lock of Life without the consent of both parties. The stall was changed into a stand-in.
"I thought we had a pretty good chat." Ning Yun folded his arms in embarrassment and sighed, "You are making it very difficult for me."
"...In my clan, completing the mission is more important than anything else."
Heijiao had three unlucky students from Baidi Academy who were accidentally left alone tied around his body. In order to show the effectiveness of the life chain, he also grabbed the three unconscious students in front of him and stood between Ning Yun and him.
Also, five minutes and 43 seconds.
"Well, so what are you going to do? Use these three lives to force me to let you go?"
"I just need time."
If this person has the ability to restore the talisman array after the insect oil soaks into the center of the talisman array, he must also have the ability to destroy the insect nest when the breath of consciousness first takes effect, preventing all this from the beginning.
So, Pointe Noire just needs time.
Just five minutes is enough.
"Time..." Ning Yun thought of the talisman array contaminated by black oil, "I quite hate that thing."
"Don't you think the time is ridiculous?"
Ning Yun took a step forward and easily broke the barrier set up by Black Horn's sacrificial arm.
He was in a bad mood now. The aftertaste of comfort and comfort was disappearing, and the memories and personality accumulated deep in his heart began to slowly rise, as if the anchor at the bottom of the lake was reaching out to him with chains, trying to drag him back to where he was.
"What is the meaning of time?"
Black Point felt that the state of the man in front of him suddenly deteriorated in an instant. Black mist visible to the naked eye rose from around him. The instinctive uneasiness made him grab the three hostages and take a few steps back.
"Is it ridicule? Contempt? Or sympathy?"
"But it can only turn your past self back into a fool."
"Why is it?"
"To remind who, nothing can be undone?"
"For who to find whom?"
"For a big funeral?"
"I am bored."
"I want to rest."
"I hate my name."
"I hate that face, my face, that's why I give it to..."
Facing the man who suddenly went crazy, Black Horn cautiously placed his sharp claws on the neck of a hostage.
"I just need time." Black Point stared at the young-looking man, "When the time comes, I will unlock the lock of life."
"......ah."
Ning Yun suddenly came back to his senses, and the black mist quickly gathered into his body. He looked at the three unconscious students as if nothing had happened, "Speaking of which, you think I should save their lives, right?" Bar?"
"What?"
Black Point thought he heard wrongly.
"Look, the girl on the far left."
Ning Yun pointed at the girl with the whip, "That headband is made of blue flowers unique to the Anshi Star Region. She should be from some remote planet. Her family is poor. She worked hard to get into Baidi College and wants to change." own destiny."
"She is wearing a fourth-level school uniform, which means she has no powers. Well...where did you catch her?"
Black Corner connected to the swarm network and checked the time.
Three minutes and 43 seconds left.
"It's nearby, next to the white building."
"Then she should really want a superpower of her own. That white building is the branch of the Medical Association in Baidi Academy. There are superpower development surgeries specially prepared for people without superpowers. However, it is expensive and not suitable for civilians. What you can afford.”
"Perhaps after sunset every day, she would take advantage of the silence of the night to walk a few kilometers alone to visit the Medical Association for a while. While imagining the powers she might obtain, she would laugh at herself and recognize the reality. Fourth Students at the upper level have a hard time, and in order to enhance their resumes, they have to work several times harder than those with special abilities."
"She probably has a mother who loves her, and she should also have a strict father. She must have a beautiful family. That hairband that doesn't suit her well is a very expensive luxury item among the civilian class. It should be something important to her. A personal gift to her.”
Heijiao listened to the daily life of an ordinary student and learned everything that this temporarily captured scapegoat might have.
Two minutes and twenty-eight seconds left.
"She may be very humorous and have several best friends who are willing to accompany her to go crazy. She may quarrel over trivial matters and eventually get back together under the temptation of a few cups of milk tea."
"White Emperor College is the best university in the universe. After she graduates, she will have a good life."
"She'll be happy."
"She will work for a company for a few years. After her job is stable, she will get married, have children, have a family, and have people to care about other than her parents."
"When she is on vacation, she will buy some boat tickets and travel to some beautiful place."
"When she gets sick, she will go to a certain hospital and recover smoothly under the care of her family."
"When it rains, she will hold up a big umbrella and drive to school to pick up her child, who may not worry her much."
"One day, she'll get a communication."
"She would hurriedly put down everything in her hands, go to the hometown she had not returned to for a long time, and face the departure of her loved ones blankly in the company of her husband and children. Then she would collapse, cry, and think, and finally somewhere On an ordinary afternoon, when I look at my child who is about to leave home."
"Relieve."
"Relieved?"
Black Point couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
One minute left.
"There is no reason." Ning Yun seemed to have noticed something, and looked to the north, where the song of the Youyun Whale was echoing, "Human beings are a weak race. They cannot face the nature of life, and can only use unreasonable excuses. ‘Reincarnation’ explains everything.”
"That would be such a pity." Heijiao looked at Ning Yun, who was like an elder in front of him. "They are obviously the most greedy race in the star field. They own almost everything in the star field to which they belong."
It is the Zerg's duty to kill humans, but they are indeed chasing humans.
Human beings are the most distinctive existence in all life. Their extremely selfish nature is so dazzling in the face of life whose essence is reproduction, so that the Zerg cannot bear it when it is destroyed, so they can only swing the butcher knife as soon as possible to finish the matter as soon as possible.
The Black Horn clan has an outstanding position in the Jade Tribe. They are set as a fighting race. They have indestructible black armor and sharp claws that ignore everything. The pile of lives taken by them can extinguish a sun. All lives that come into contact with them are destroyed. Think of them as butchers and executioners. Their presence anywhere indicates an inhumane massacre.
The Black Horn clan with such military exploits naturally has a certain degree of privileges.
On Planet No. 17, north of the Black Horn Palace, there is a back garden of eternal spring.
Before going into a war where they know they will die, the warriors of the Black Horn tribe will personally plant a seed that belongs only to them in that garden after the application is approved.
Most of the warriors who went to act as butchers had no names.
The flower blooming under the spring sun is their name.
Under the care of the Blackhorn King, those flowers never wither.
Fifty-three seconds left.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Black Horn held the Lock of Life, noticed something, and asked the man who was walking slowly.
"say what?"
"Those words, that story, that girl's story."
"I...didn't talk to you."
There was a chilling numbness in Ning Yun's eyes, "I'm talking to myself."
"The first person I ever killed was the girl I fell in love with for the first time."
"As I stared at her, watching the life drain from her eyes, I swore that from now on I would never run away from my sin."
"So before I take anyone's life, I will anticipate everything about her."
The chains composed of black ether instantly wrapped around Black Horn's body, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was of no avail.
Also, forty-seven seconds.
"Envision her life."
The man ignored the three students whose lives were forcibly bound by the Lock of Life and walked up to Heijiao.
Forty seconds.
"Picture her future."
He said this and took out his cane from the pendant.
Thirty-three seconds.
"Anticipating her death."
Under his gentle caress, a sharp blade flashing with sharp light appeared at the bottom of the cane. Black Horn could sense that it had the ability to take away his own life.
Twenty-nine seconds.
"Expect what she has to lose."
The man first made a cut on his hand with a sharp blade. After the blood flowed out, he was stunned for a long time.
Nine seconds.
"Anticipate what I'm going to take away."
He sighed and smiled helplessly.
three.
"Sad, right?"
In fact, he was quite afraid of pain. Heijiao felt the knife cut into pieces of his new carapace like a blade cutting paper, piercing into his spiritual core, and he complained in his heart.
two.
This was probably the first time he complained. The Jade Department, which included everything in calculations, was really boring. The life born there was boring in its bones.
Expressing emotions clearly like this is quite new for Noire.
Unfortunately, this is also the last time.
one.
"If you can, let her be happy for a while first."
Black Horn sensed the energy fluctuation caused by the penetration of insect oil into the talisman array, and slowly lost his life.
He can actually survive. The mission has been completed. He can leave the White Emperor Star at any time. As long as he uses the Life Lock to let the three hostages bear the damage for him, and then uses the last chance to escape, he can escape. Go to any nearby star field and escape smoothly.
But what's the point?
Black Horn, who cut off the shackles of life at the last second, silently closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"A new morning glory has bloomed in the garden."
very nice.
