StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 119 Beheading
16-year-old Sarah Louise Kerrigan bent down and walked into the half-closed cockpit door of a Wraith fighter jet. Her blue-and-white environment-mimetic combat suit that was close to her skin followed the movement of her bending over and bending her legs. The body is tighter.

So the beautiful curve between the slender waist and the upturned buttocks is bent into a beautiful arc, and the flat abdomen reveals the sexy waistcoat line. At this moment, Qi's beautiful figure can be seen at a glance.

Kerrigan sat in the height-adjustable driver's seat to adjust the equipment, skillfully called up the star map of the Koprulu sector, and tested the sensitivity of the sensors.The seat cushion on the driver's seat was so thin that she could almost feel the steel support underneath.

Outside the aviation glass, the dust storm covering the sky above the Victor V military base airport has dissipated, but the sky is still deep and dark.

There is no difference in most of the year on this unattended planet located in the fringe galaxy of the Tyrann Federation. Even the latest UNN bulletin has to be delayed by a week to arrive at this "land forgotten by God." ".

The soldiers stationed here are all marines who have undergone resocialization, and only they can endure this deep-rooted loneliness.For Kerrigan, who left her family at the age of eight and began training as a ghost agent at the age of 12, loneliness and pain are both strange emotions.

The psionic suppressor in the brain of each ghost agent can block most useless emotions. They are as ruthless as real ghosts or humanoid weapons, just as the instructors of the ghost academy expect.

Specter 24718 climbed up from the other hatch, handed Kerrigan a fully enclosed helmet and a C-10 shrapnel gun, then sat in the main driver's seat and pressed the control lever.His voice from behind the helmet seemed to come from another world, hoarse as if liquid nitrogen had been poured into his throat.

"Reset the coordinates, Adjutant. Korha Galaxy, Korha IV." Specter 24718 said: "Call the control tower, Wraith fighter AG-18 is leaving the port, over."

All ghost agents are referred to by numbers, simplified names or code names with specialties and personality traits, and the communication between them is always short and efficient.This is the ghost agent, they are killers, they don't need extra emotion and communication, they should be as cold as steel, and they will become hard and deadly after being forged and polished.

Kerrigan pulled the helm on, gathering her fiery red hair in a shoulder-length ponytail.The helmet was light and strong, and the HUD display was activated within one breath, and various values ​​appeared before Kerrigan's eyes.

When the Wraith fighter's engine started, a stack of mission briefings appeared on the HUD screen: Assassination targets: Angus Mengsk, Senator Keha, Catherine Mengsk, famous philanthropist, Arcturus Mengsk, former Marine Corps Colonel, Augustus Mengsk, former Marine Corps Second Lieutenant.
More than ten days after the Korhal rebellion broke out, all the main star worlds learned the shocking news.The federal parliament of Tarsonis even issued a solemn statement at the first time. They condemned Angus' anti-government, anti-democratic and anti-human atrocities. Any act of secession from the federal independence is treason, and they claimed that they would immediately take countermeasures Measures to keep Korha IV out of the control of terrorists.

Now it seems that their first reaction is to kill the leader of the terrorists. It seems that they can cover their ears and everything will be solved once and for all.

For Kerrigan, this is just an ordinary assassination mission, and she doesn't have to feel sentimental about the person she is about to assassinate, because after the mission is over, the Academy of Ghosts will quickly erase any information about the incident. Memories of action, like the past.

She doesn't remember how many people she's killed, and probably never will.At this time, Kerrigan's cold heart was suddenly touched. She was only 16 years old, just at the age of youth, but she didn't even remember the people she had killed.

The memory of my parents and my hometown is even more blank, but when I think of these words, I occasionally feel heart-wrenching sadness.

Sometimes, Kerrigan also wanted to change, but the psionic suppressor implanted in her brain made her indifferent and calm when facing enemies, and extremely docile when facing orders—even if she didn't agree with these cruelties in her heart. The assassination mission and its significance.This emotion was quickly wiped away by the psionic suppressor.

While looking through the information of these people, Kerrigan paused for a few seconds on the photo of Dorothy Mengsk, who was only 16 years old like her, but had a happy family.

"Catherine and Dorothy Mengsk have not been seen in public in Korha IV for nearly four months, and Angus' eldest son, Arcturus Mengsk, has also disappeared. Only Senator Angus Mengsk and his second son Augustus are still in Korha," Agent 24718 said.

"It doesn't matter, but only Angus Mengsk had to be killed," he said.

"24506 will take care of that Augustus."

There were three Tyrannian federal ghost agents who participated in this beheading operation, and their average PSI value was above level 8. At this moment, another ghost agent 24506 was sitting in the small cabin of the wraith fighter.This is enough to show how much the Ghost Academy attaches importance to Angus.

"Information shows that the Mengsk family has strengthened the defense measures of their leader's residence, and there are a large number of rebel armed forces stationed in Steeling, the capital city of Korha IV." Specter 24718 drove the wraith fighter out of the launch port.

"Even the tightest defenses have loopholes. We will find those loopholes, step into Angus' bedroom and take his head without anyone noticing." Kerrigan's voice under the helmet also seemed quite distorted. , she checked her C-10 shotgun as usual.

This powerful "rifle" is a masterpiece of fusion of stainless steel and light polymer. It uses 25mm anti-personnel "can" ammunition and a special locking bullet that can paralyze the mechanism for a short time.

"It's like a snake climbing up the canopy and devouring the birds in the nest."

The cockpit fell into silence again. Specter 24718 was driving the Wraith fighter intently. The plasma propulsion ejected hot and bright flames. After a few short and powerful jumps, it drove out of Victor V's gravity field. The track jumped into the hyperspace channel.

This modified and upgraded fighter was equipped with a warp engine, allowing it to travel quickly across the galaxy, and its advanced stealth system could avoid being spotted by the rebels entrenched there when it sailed into Korhal.

Mengsk Sky Tower, Stilling City, April 4 at 12am.

The gothic curves of the more than sixty-story Sky Tower are out of tune with other skyscrapers. Like other high-rise buildings, the Mengsk Sky Tower is still brightly lit even in the early morning and stays on all night.

The security personnel of the Mengsk family did their best to make this magnificent tower into an airtight, seamless fortress.In the various entrances and long corridors, laser sensors connected to the security network blocked all blind spots, and the vibration sensors under the marble walls and peach wood floors could detect even the movement of a mouse crawling.

Any financial tycoon in Tarsonis or powerful politicians and senior officials will think that such security measures are already perfect, and intruders will be detected the moment they step into the Mengsk Sky Tower, and they must have already There is no escape.

When Kerrigan, whose whole body was in an invisible state through the environmental mimic battle suit, walked into the corridor on the 42nd floor, and those who swept her body did not respond, she couldn't help but feel overconfident about the security personnel of the Mengsk family. And sorry.

It seems that the Mengsk family's security system is impeccable, and they even use a considerable amount of Umoyan technology to make up for it.

The latest Umoyan laser sensor can detect invisible people, and the previous ghost agent's battle suit can block infrared rays and lasers, even the largest bank security measures in Tarsonis are useless to ghost agents.

Kerrigan admitted that this might be the safest place in the entire Tyrannian Federation after the Federation Council and the Sky Tower of the Tagore family.

But their opponents are Ghosts, and these Ghosts can draw on more than their own powers.

It took a week for espionage experts working for the Tyrannian Federal Intelligence Service to decipher these laser sensors in the Mengsk Sky Tower. an ordinary servant.

The security personnel of the Mengsk family re-change the algorithm of the security system every day to guard against the intrusion of hackers, but they ignore the most basic laser sensor and forget that human beings are blinded and deceived by the eyes, not necessarily the brain that makes judgments .

Kerrigan and her companions walked quietly among the noble works of art and beautiful sculptures and paintings of the ancestors of the Mengsk family.They climbed up from the first floor through a spiral staircase instead of an elevator, and passed many security personnel in black uniforms.

As she walked down the hallway to the next level, Kerrigan walked past a bewildered maid.In that instant, more emotions flooded Kerrigan's mind, including tiredness, excitement, pride, and admiration.

Kerrigan is no stranger to this. The security guards and servants inside the entire Sky Tower are devoted admirers of Angus, and they feel that they are engaged in a great and honorable cause.

Liberation, freedom, saving others, sacrifice, dedication.
She was amazed at what she thought could be called a noble emotion that Kerrigan had never felt.In Kerrigan's past assassination targets, most of them were unbearable politicians or rebels from the federal government. People with noble personalities were never her assassination targets, because those people could not sit in high positions in the filthy Tarsonis. of.

Keha IV has completely escaped the control of the Tarsonis Federation government. Those members who were still loyal to the Federation were sent to the guillotine. The government was reorganized in a very short time, and Angus and his supporters controlled the entire Keha.

This prosperous planet, the bright pearl in the hands of the Federation, has actually been separated from this huge regime.

Kerrigan occasionally contemplates the implications of revolution, but even she sees Korhal's rebellion as nothing more than hitting a stone with a pebble.

When the maid in the long black dress walked past Kerrigan, she didn't realize that a pair of pale golden eyes were looking into her pupils, and the powerful telekinetic power instantly controlled her brave but still not strong mind .

Immediately afterwards, the maid stopped suddenly. She stared straight at Kerrigan with trance eyes, then turned mechanically and walked to a compartment on the 42nd floor. That was Charles Berry, the chief steward of the Mengsk family. unique room.

If you observe carefully, the people in the monitoring room will find that this is a bit weird, but in fact, the time from the maid's stop to turning around is only a second or two.

The maid pressed the doorbell softly, and then pressed it several times in a row as if in a panic.When the butler Ciel, who was sleeping in his clothes, came out to ask questions, his black pupils suddenly became dilated, and then he walked in front of Kerrigan like a walking dead.

In Kerrigan's telepathy, Ciel's will is constantly struggling. This 70-year-old man has a tenacious will that surprised her.But Kerrigan is an unprecedented 10th-level psyker, and the gap between his terrifying telekinetic power and ordinary people is like oceans and streams.

When Ciel led Kerrigan to Angus Mengsk's bedroom on the 60th floor, the maid went to the kitchen where she was going to prepare breakfast for the security personnel in a daze, not at all. Remember what you did before.

After tense and long tens of minutes, Kerrigan came to the No.10 floor.The top twenty floors must have the butler's retina and genetic recognition to pass, but Shire avoided all directions for the ghost agent.

Ghost 24718 thought maliciously in his heart what this loyal servant would think when he learned that his master died because of him, and he was determined to save the poor man's life so that he would feel eternal pain for the rest of his life .

Mentally twisted by torture in the lab, the Ghost was originally a good man, but the instructors put him through a variety of torture human tests that permanently changed him, making him cold-blooded and deeply aware of the pain of his enemies happy.

Kerrigan felt annoyed at the mean idea of ​​her companion, something she thought she would never do—

The butler Shire trembled with fear. He seemed to be controlled by a ghost. He knew what he was doing but was powerless to resist.

The door of the bedroom was gently opened, and the graceful ghost agent stepped on the crimson carpet in the bedroom with light, cat-like steps through the tiny gap between the door and the door frame, followed by his companion back.

Angus Mengsk was lying peacefully on the bed, sleeping peacefully under a velvet blanket, and his slightly snoring breathing indicated that the other party's sleep quality was not very good.

Kerrigan drew a sharp dagger from his hip, a loaded pistol in his other hand.She doesn't need to use the gun on her shoulder, the assassination training she has received tells herself that she only needs to put the dagger across her neck and then grab her collar and pull, that respectable head will be smashed by the extremely sharp titanium alloy dagger cut off.

She can be sure that this is Angus and not pretending to be his double, because Angus in his sleep is dreaming of his dream of the Tyrannian Democratic Republic.

The scene of accompanying family members in my memory is so warm. Six-year-old Augustus Mengsk is wearing one-piece jeans and stacking blocks with his sister, while jumping up and down on the black and white checkerboard floor at home Arcturus Mengsk is like a monkey without a head.
