Chapter 118 Facing the Truth

Snake was stunned by the bottle Fang Senyan tossed to him, but he took it with great enthusiasm and drank several mouthfuls of the strong liquor.

Perhaps because he drank too fiercely, the amber liquid could be clearly seen sliding from the corner of his mouth and dripping onto the artificial muscle fiber suit below his neck. After a while, he said in a deep voice:

"Admiral, are you here because of the anomaly in the temple?"

"The temple's... anomaly?" Fang Senyan was stunned for a moment and said, "No, no, that's not it."

Fang Senyan stated his purpose straightforwardly:

"Snake, as far as I know, the various magical abilities of you GOHST members, although inseparable from the amplification of mental power, are ultimately completed with the help of various high-tech equipment. For example, superhuman strength comes from the amplification of artificial muscle fiber suits, invisibility is due to special fabrics, and locking missiles also utilize powerful mental power amplification devices. Am I wrong?"

Snake nodded. He was obviously not very used to the stimulation of strong liquor, because he usually quenched his thirst with plain water, so he coughed a few times and said:

"Yes, we mainly focus on spiritual cultivation."

Fang Senyan said seriously:

"Then have you ever thought about one thing, that is, to make humans become stronger from the outset?"

Snake asked suspiciously:

"Didn't the Empire make relevant attempts long ago, but they all ended in failure? Stimulants seem to be the only successful thing this research team developed and promoted. It is said that flame warriors are also their products. Then this research team was forcibly disbanded because it violated human ethics and morality."

Fang Senyan looked at Snake and said with sarcasm:

"Do you really believe that the excuse of mere ethics and morality can stop the experimenters' ambition?"

Snake was immediately stunned. He couldn't help but ask in a hoarse voice:

"Then, then what do you mean?"

Fang Senyan smiled and said:

"The experiment has been continuing, but it has been transferred underground, and it has developed to a very high degree - my existence is proof!"

Snake's eyes were originally full of shock and doubt, but after hearing Fang Senyan's last sentence, he immediately froze. He laboriously picked up a cigarette, but his hands trembled so much that he couldn't light it after several attempts. The light formed a dark silhouette on his face, making him seem silent and decadent.

Fang Senyan continued seriously:

"Among the people who underwent biological enhancement and conditioning with me, there were a total of one hundred and thirty-seven. In the end, only seven were able to survive. Among these seven people, three have become disabled, mentally retarded, or mentally disturbed. Only four are normal."

"Among these four people, I am considered the weakest. We learned from secret channels... that the Protoss Dark Templar's inheritance has been opened, and one of us, after evaluation, has been recognized as having the strength to accept this inheritance. So, he set off a month ago. Then, he lost all contact."

At this time, Snake looked at Fang Senyan with the eyes of a child seeing a UFO or an alien. After a long time, he breathed out and said with a wry smile:

"General, if I hadn't seen your powerful strength with my own eyes today, seen you unscathed under the bombardment of photon cannons, and seen you actually capture a zealot with your bare hands! Otherwise, I would definitely scoff at your statement."

"But even so, I still find it unbelievable!! The inheritance of the Dark Templar... that is a terrifying trial that can only be completed in the Dark Shrine. It is hard to imagine that a human can survive in such a trial!"

Fang Senyan's heart moved and he said:

"You should know something, right?"

Snake nodded and sighed:

"Admiral, do you know why this planet is called the Lost Temple?"

Fang Senyan said solemnly:

"I don't know."

Snake hesitated for a moment, then suddenly transmitted a message to Fang Senyan with his mental power:

"What I am about to say next is top secret content of the intelligence department, which is not allowed to be leaked. However, a legendary figure like you is impossible to leak secrets, so I will reveal it to you - the seemingly united Protoss experienced a split a long, long time ago. That period was called the bloody Kath mediation period!"

"In that split and civil war, the two major political parties, which originally had obvious theoretical differences, experienced bloody conflicts and frictions! In that conflict, many powerful technologies were buried deep in history. However, now the Protoss have been forced into a very embarrassing situation, so they have lifted the taboos of the past! According to our accurate intelligence, the Protoss Supreme Council has obtained many of the previous annihilated technologies. The new confirmed arms include the Dragon Knight's advanced arms: Immortals, and a new air battleship: Phoenix!"

"Your information is correct. The reason why this place is called the Lost Temple is because there really is an ancient Protoss temple here! Moreover, the people in this temple are the elders who survived in the bloody split that year. Therefore, their inheritance ceremony is different from the current Protoss. The Dark Templars trained are more powerful. More importantly, they are guarding a secret, a huge secret!"

"This is also the reason why my son and I have come to this planet four or five times... the purpose! Even those damned superiors no longer believe us!"

"On this planet, the Dark Templar's temple is just a cover. It was originally an extremely secret existence, so people who smell something and come to investigate carefully will be confused by this cover, thinking that this is the real secret. Therefore, the manufacturing base that has lost power for thousands of years can sleep for thousands of years, until now."

"That base is the production base of powerful and mysterious arms sealed in history. Legend has it that it can cross any mountains and rivers. Legend has it that it was once, like the Mothership, a symbol of the Protoss' highest technology! Legend has it that even thousands of zealots will vanish in front of it!!!!"

"What!!" Fang Senyan gasped. Yes, there was no doubt that the Protoss' powerful Mothership was a symbol of the entire race, the glory of the entire race! The powerful oppressive force that slowly emerged from the dark starry sky was incomparable to other arms.

However, in Snake's mouth, the Protoss actually had an arm whose lethality and deterrent power could be compared with it! This was like the American imperialists, in addition to nuclear weapons, secretly hiding some X-weapon that could be compared with nuclear weapons!

Snake also noticed Fang Senyan's gaffe, and then looked at him word by word:

"The name of that weapon is Colossus!! (a unit that appears in StarCraft 2). I came here to wait for the Dark Templar's temple to relax, enter the ancient factory that produces the Colossus, and then completely destroy its processing technology! My son died seven years ago because of this, so I know everything about this place, and I will never give up my mission!"

Fang Senyan looked at Snake and said slowly:

"My friend said that the risk of trying to accept the Dark Templar's inheritance is also very high. It is better to die directly. The most feared thing is that he will become a monster like the Queen of Blades. Therefore, my mission is to find my friend and take him home, or... kill him. So, I think we can cooperate once."

Snake nodded with satisfaction, closed his eyes, and seemed very tired, falling into a deep sleep.

But Fang Senyan still didn't want to sleep.

He leaned against the wall for a while to recuperate, then stood up, opened the door of the supply station and walked out, then twisted the door tightly.

Even though it was in an underground mountain belly, the biting cold air still made him shiver!

Fang Senyan spread out his palm, and saw a grain-sized blue crystal shining in his palm. This thing was obtained after the Dragon Knight was killed, and it directly appeared in his personal space. Fang Senyan was very curious about what this thing was for, and after carefully inquiring, he got the explanation:

Ordinary Protoss Essence: Because the power of Noah Space No. C still has a small amount of residue on your body, the souls of the Protoss units you killed will be forcibly intercepted. The stronger the soul, the higher the probability of the appearance of this essence, and the stronger the purity.

The quality of this essence is: 1.4 units.

This item can only be used on friendly forces’ storyline characters: each unit of Protoss essence will improve the target creature's strength, and the amount of improvement is equal to one level of attack, one level of defense, and a 33% increase in life value. When the target creature is judged as an elite creature, the effect will be rapidly reduced.

This item cannot be taken out of this world.

*

Staring at the Protoss essence for a while, Fang Senyan put it back into his pocket.

He has not yet decided how to use this thing, because there are too many targets that can be supplied, and he has to carefully weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

"It's really strange." Fang Senyan suddenly thought of something again, and said to himself:

"When Snake told that hidden secret, I thought I would receive a related task, but the task prompt has been without any prompt, why is this?"

Fang Senyan's fingers kept tapping on the rock, and his thoughts kept jumping:

"Does Space think this task is too simple, and I can get it easily? So it disdains to release this task to me to avoid me from farming points? Shouldn't be? Or is this task too difficult, and I have no chance to complete the task? Okay, this is very possible."

"However, there seems to be a third possibility, and I think this third possibility may be the truth behind the scenes!"
