StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 123 Redemption
Sarah Kerrigan struggled to sit up on her elbows, her tattered Ghost agent mimetic environment combat suit had been replaced by a baggy, rough-textured one-piece dress buried deep in the The few tubes connected to the instrument in the fiery red hair make it very uncomfortable.

She had thought that she would be strapped to the electric chair, but it seemed that the actual situation was not so bad.

The staff in the operating room took a few minutes to fix the light, and soon the operating room, which can only accommodate two beds and some medical instruments, was as bright as ever.Kerrigan's sharper hearing than ordinary people told her that there were many ventilation ducts connected to fans in the wall, which meant that it was probably underground.

Kerrigan looked at an old man with gray hair and a white coat standing beside the bed, and then looked at Augustus who put his hands behind his back.Kerrigan could make out his voice, and it was the man who had awakened her worst memories with just one sentence, a demonic whisper.

But Kerrigan's initial impression of Augustus wasn't all that bad. He looked quite young, with bushy gray eyebrows, deep-set eye sockets, and a hawk-curved nose, and a resolute expression.

"You saved me, and what can I do for you?" Kerrigan looked at Augustus.

Although Kerrigan could sense that there were only two unknown and powerful psykers in the operating room, she telepathically sensed some of Augustus's thoughts on the surface of consciousness: friendliness, peace, curiosity.

Psykers who are too powerful can read other people's minds uncontrollably. Training in this area and psychic suppressors can effectively restrain them, but Kerrigan, who has just removed the suppressor at the moment, obviously cannot control his overpowering psychic powers and telepathic abilities.

"I need to know what you're good at."

Augustus wears a dark gray woolen officer's uniform, a Revolutionary Army uniform with closed, Western-style straight trousers, and a sheepskin belt studded with black brass studs.His cool gray eyes were attractive, piercing like a hawk.

".Kill." Kerrigan hesitated, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed in pain. "No, I don't want to kill."

No one taught her anything other than disguise and assassination. Ghost agents are engaged in the cruelest and darkest work in the Tyrann Federation. They are the best assassins and the most efficient killing machines.

"I won't let you kill people." Augustus tilted his head slightly to the left, as if he was listening to someone next to him.

"It's quite the opposite," he said to Kerrigan calmly, seemingly devoid of any negative emotions of fear or apprehension.

"I want you to save others, liberate the oppressed and their traumatized souls, and maintain justice and order."

"." Kerrigan wondered.

"But you are rebels."

"Your memory is gradually recovering, but there are still many perceptions that are wrong." After a few seconds of silence, Augustus said to Kerrigan again.

"In the past, you were serving a dark government. In order to maintain their brutal, absurd and ridiculous rule, you were forced to do evil for those who sat high in the parliamentary seat," he said.

"The people in power in Tarsonis ruled the people of the Tyrann Federation with high pressure. The founding family - the pioneers and the leaders' descendants' enterprises used the colony as a place of raw material production and product dumping, and paid heavy taxes to make hard work The lives of those living in the country are unsustainable. The Tyranid Federation won the war with the Kel-Morian Confederation at the expense of the future of the fringe colonies, and now the war-torn sufferers are required to pay for the cost of the war. Tarsonis government His crimes are too numerous to write down."

"And what the revolutionary army has to do is to overthrow this corrupt government and the Tarsonis creation family behind them, defeat their army, smash the Tyrannian Federation and rebuild it."

"Now, there is an opportunity to change this fate in front of you." Augustus moved closer to Kerrigan who was listening carefully.

"You only need to stand by our side and fight side by side with us, and you will understand the darkness hidden under the glorious appearance of the Tarsonis federal government, and understand that we and Korha IV are walking on an extremely bright road."

"I think you're right." Kerrigan glanced at Augustus with her pale green eyes hidden under a few locks of fiery red hair. Many people, this is an indisputable fact, I still remember the memories of those people clearly."

As more memories gradually come to life, Kerrigan grows sadder and more hopeless, and she bears the guilt of her conscience.Those self-condemnations and confessions were imposed by Kerrigan herself, and a true villain obviously wouldn't care about them.

Kerrigan has become extremely confused. When she lived as a federal ghost agent in the past, her only goal was to become the assigned task. The psionic suppressor can turn the most rebellious psyker into the most tame sheep and An obedient servant.

Now Kerrigan has gained the freedom she never expected after becoming a ghost agent, but she feels at a loss and fear about her future life, and she doesn't know what to do next.

After all, she has nothing and is cast aside by others.

"I knew it would be great if you could feel the redemption of your soul in the process." Augustus said, "If you've ever killed a thousand innocent people, save a thousand." 1000 others. We will never atone for our past selves, but at least those 1000 million people were saved because of you."

"But aren't you afraid of me, sir?" Kerrigan gave Augustus a timid smile that looked forced from every angle.

After removing the psionic suppressor, Kerrigan's calm and strong female image has faded. Now she is no longer a cold and ruthless federal ghost agent, but just a 16-year-old girl.

Kerrigan dreaded getting an affirmative answer from Augustus.

"The only thing we need to fear is fear itself." Augustus began with a famous quote and went on to say:
"No matter what other people think of you, they regard you as a monster, an alien, or an outcast by fate. But in my eyes, you are a part of human beings. You should not be superior to your psychic talents, nor should you People should be hated for being different."

"You are Sarah Kerrigan and will always be Sarah Kerrigan."

"Follow me and stand with me."

Now Sarah Kerrigan is like catching a ray of light in the boundless darkness, and the light seems to come from the heavens.

She has a new goal.
