The Star Knight - 75. Chapter Seventy Five
Ledgerson didn’t know where he was going, but Reckett stood alone in the hall.
Reckett said: “Opal, I don’t want you to come to Cololin.”
“I love you, teacher.” Opal said: “I love you like my father. Although there is no father, I think that’s the feeling. You gave me a second life; I love you like love Comrades fighting with me, please respect my decision.”
Reckett stared at Opal for a long time.
“He has qualities that Cololin does not have.” Ledgerson said: “He will succeed.”
Reckett said: “Then you may be alone from now on, and we have no other way to help you.”
Opal nodded, and then asked, “What do I need to do? Just gain his trust?”
Ledgerson said: “We will arrange, sit down.”
The three sat on the floor, and Ledgerson said: “What you need to do is not only to gain his trust, but to understand his heart.”
“From a long time together, analyzing his words and deeds, exploring his past, and looking for the source of his beliefs.” Ledgerson said: “Phoenix, the army, these are trivial. As long as you know where his beliefs come from, We can defeat him completely.”
Reckett said: “His belief is too strong, or he is too persistent, we don’t even know what he is so persistent for, he firmly believes that what he is doing is right, driven by this belief, he has almost nothing. No, none of us can beat him.”
Opal said: “What if he is really right?”
Reckett said: “Then you yourself will be shaken first, and your beliefs will be completely suppressed by him.”
Ledgerson said: “He can’t be Cororin’s opponent.”
Opal said: “I’m just afraid that when I understand what he has done, I will also be shaken…”
Ledgerson said: “Then we will lose completely.”
Opal said: “Is there any way to strengthen my will, or to hypnotize me, so that I will never be affected by him.”
Ledgerson said: “Yes, I will open up a spiritual realm for you, and seal all your memories in it. He can’t use mind-reading to probe what you don’t want him to know.”
Opal breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Then I have a certain degree of certainty that I can succeed.”
What he was most afraid of was not that Cololin read his heart and discovered that he was an undercover agent, but he was afraid that he would unknowingly agree with Cololin’s approach and become the same person as him.
Reckett said: “You don’t need to do too much, you just need to remember his behavior when he gets along with you, what he says, what he asks you to do, you can selectively obey him, anyway, everything is yours. Do it with the intention.”
“We will exchange information with you in due course.” Ledgerson said: “Lie down, Opal.”
Opal lay on the cold floor, closed his eyes, and Ledgerson’s voice said in his ear: “Now I will revise your memory. From this moment on, your memory will have nothing but yourself. People can see, including Reckett. But I must read your past first.”
Opal said: “I have nothing to tell, come on.”
It was a very strange feeling, like falling asleep and awake, he seemed to know he was sleeping.
Ledgerson: [Do you need to erase your pain? 】
【no no! ] Opal immediately said: [Let me keep it. 】
Ledgerson: [Are you sure you want to keep it? But I think you will hate me in the future. Reckett still doesn’t know about your lover, do you need to tell him? 】
Opal: [Don’t tell him either, everything is over. 】
Ledgerson: [There is no past, the past is in the future, and this is just about to begin. 】
Opal: [What did you say? Can you make it clearer? 】
Ledgerson: [Aha, it’s okay to treat it as a secret between you and me, you will know it soon. 】
Opal: [What do you mean? Wait, Ledgerson! 】
Opal’s thoughts couldn’t keep up with Ledgerson’s speed. Suddenly, countless images were forcibly stuffed in. The crude mine city, the quarrels in the hall, were scolded by the vaguely-faced people, and left the unknown with the list angrily. Planet.
Kidnapping inside the pirate ship, a rebellion, massacre, bloody spacecraft, the corpses of the pirates lie in the control room. In front of me was the crowded passengers, the spacecraft landed on another planet…
The beautiful girl on the Sphinx got married and lifted his veil. He turned and left, walking alone on a desert planet in the wind and sand.
He killed a group of robbers, took a few children on the spaceship, sent them to a safe place, and came to a new planet…
Opal: [This is not my memory! 】
Ledgerson: [Of course I know, this is a memory for Cololin. 】
Opal heard Reckett and Ledgerson talking between half asleep and half awake.
“What makes you sure that Cololin will let him stay?” Reckett said.
Ledjeson said: “Cololin will definitely want him. He has no father, which is exactly the same as Cololin. His personality is also very similar to that when he was a child. He has the perseverance and rebellion of Cololin. However, unlike Coralin, he does not have the inferiority complex deep in Coralin’s soul.”
“He has been tempered by the fierce star, and Cololin is the one eliminated.” Ledgerson murmured: “In Opal’s subconscious, all people are equal, and there is no status or inferiority or inferiority. Level, some are just sincere and passionate.”
“The break between Cororin and Azeroth is precisely because of this…”
Opal gradually fell asleep and fell into a long sleep.
In his dream, he returned to the crimson rift valley of B-11. At that moment a few years ago, he tied a bracelet that he bought at a high price from merchants to Reckett’s strong wrist and said, “Thank you, teacher. , For you, you taught me many things.”
Reckett’s voice rang in his ears: “No, Opal, this is not enough, wake up, time is up, you must kill him, take out the sword, we have no choice.”
Opal opened his eyes and found himself lying on an unfamiliar bed-with the scorching sunlight outside the window, Reckett was standing in his bedroom, looking at the pictures on the bed seriously.
“Old… teacher?” Opal sat up, got out of bed, his head touched the low ceiling, and hurriedly groaned himself.
Reckett turned to look at him and said, “Opal, try to think about your past memories, whatever it is, don’t say it.”
Thinking about one thing? Opal was a little dazed, pondered for a while, recalling Raymond, he smiled at him in the hall of the mercenary union.
Ledgerson’s voice sounded around: “It’s done, he can think in the dream. This thinking process will not cause any changes to the environment in the dream world. This means that I have established a double heart for him.”
Opal understands almost immediately. People cannot think independently in dreams. Dreams are manifestations of thought activities. No matter what you think in your dreams, it will affect the surrounding environment in your dreams.
In other words, is he in a dream now?
Reckett said: “Come with me, Opal.”
He opened the door and Opal got up and went out with him. There was a noisy street in front of him, and the roads were flanked by granite houses.
This is a market, but Opal has never seen it before.
“Where is this place?” Opal asked.
“Sphynx.” Reckett said, “Kema Street, this is the identity set by Ledgerson for you, a lone ranger in a busy city. You have never been here.”
Opal said: “But if Cololin wants to track down my life experience one day, won’t it show flaws?”
Reckett said: “He will revise the memories of all people who are connected to you. You can think of your current situation as having lived two different lives-in your previous life, and in this life, everyone’s memories will be the same. Change because of you.”
“That is to say.” Opal said: “Even my mercenary partners will forget me.”
Reckett said: “Yes, can you accept this cruel reality?”
Opal looked at the street in front of him and said, “Yes.”
Ledgerson said, “Next to you, Recht.”
Reckett said: “Opal, try to release the power of your belief.”
Opal doesn’t even need to concentrate, but with a slight thought, the day above his head turns into night, and the stars cast a brilliant light.
Reckett said: “This is the world of your external memory. I will now completely seal up the power of your beliefs, suppress the fire of your beliefs, and hide it in your internal memory until Coralin returns. Ignite the beliefs in your external memory. These two beliefs can be manipulated and merged by yourself.”
Opal nodded, the sea roared and flooded them, and there was only the boundless sea in the spiritual world, and the sky was dim, disappearing one by one.
Opal opened his eyes for the second time and returned to the temple again.
This time he was lying on the icy floor with a splitting headache. Reckett guarded his side and said: “You have to learn to control your own two-layer spiritual world, when to think in the external memory world, and when to internal Thinking in the memory world.”
“I…” Opal said, “This sounds a bit difficult.”
Ledgerson said: “It’s not difficult, it’s easy. I have established a series of conditioned reflex mechanisms for him, and use the image of Cororin to achieve the opening conditions. As long as he is in front of Cororin, all content related to leaks will be automatically Produced in the world of internal memory, but Kolorin will not be bored and read his inner activities continuously. Moreover, he cannot read your memory unconditionally, only when you appear in his field of vision. , The power of belief can directly act on your consciousness. Once you are far enough away from him, he can only rely on his best dream means to know your heart.”
Reckett said: “So what about the dream?”
“Opal can think in dreams.” Ledgerson said: “You can also dream in dreams, so you can avoid Cololin’s dream peeping.”
Opal didn’t quite understand, but he understood a few sentences, and asked: “Will he find out that I have another thing about the world of thinking?”
“Probably not.” Reckett said, “He had no idea that Ledgerson had the ability to modify memory.”
Ledgerson hummed and said, “He thought I would only brainwash the audience, but in fact this is Reckett’s strength.”
Opal let out a long sigh, Reckett said: “You need to spend a few days to get used to all this. It will be chaotic at first, but everything will gradually get better. You will be the only one in the universe. One, no one can snoop into your true inner world.”
“Go to sleep,” Ledgerson said.
Opal walked a bit wobbly, and the vision in front of him was blurred and clearer. Everything he saw seemed to be recorded in a certain area deeper in his soul.
He stumbled back to the bedroom, slumped on the bed, fell asleep on his stomach.
In the hall of the temple, Ledgerson said: “Teacher, for a moment, I think I know the real you.”
Reckett did not speak.
Ledgerson whispered: “You are cruel, sir, he is willing to bear these pains because of his love for you.”
Reckett said: “I will not let him down.”
Ledgerson: “But I’m curious, how did you do it? Not only broke through my blockade, but also entered his primitive instinct, burying such a sentence in his subconscious. Can you influence a person’s instinct?”
Reckett said: “I do my best to plant this one sentence, hoping that this seed of faith will never be opened by him. Ledgerson, sometimes I wonder, after all, what we do What’s the point?”
“Will the Temple of the Stars still exist in 100 million years?” Reckett looked up at the ancient gods on the altar, and said solemnly: “At that time, what kind of pattern will the universe take? Lan is right, human beings will never get out of this cannibalistic circle.”
Ledgerson got up and left the temple. In the Sanctuary of Stars, in front of Nolan’s phoenix sculpture, only Reckett’s sigh was remembering.
On the day Opal walked out of the temple, Ledgerson prepared some luggage for him.
Opal put on fingerless gloves and turned to pick these things in turn.
Gemstone rings, black puppets with large palms, iron sugar boxes, glass marbles.
According to the memories Ledgerson had instilled in him, these were the gifts of gratitude given to him by the children he rescued.
“This memory is completely made up by you?” Opal asked.
Ledgerson said: “No, this is another victim. He is a ranger in the Sphinx Desert. He died under the hands of the Meteorite Legion.”
Through these memories, Opal seems to feel a loneliness-it is a kind of calm loneliness, not strong, but like the yellow sand and wind in the sky, and like the endless satin-like desert and the dazzling sky, they are always exist.
“Swords can’t be carried with you.” Reckett interrupted his thoughts and said, “You can take these two lightbulb guns to the grip of the rotating light.”
“I don’t know how to use…” Opal took the shotgun, holding one in each hand, and the two shotguns were whirling between his fingers, and then he was cleverly held by his fingers.
His eyes were filled with surprise.
Ledgerson said indifferently: “In the memories we have woven for you, there is also the use of such retro firearms. Cololin is already dull. He no longer guesses the enemy’s thoughts through behavior, but is used to reading directly. The other person’s heart. You won’t show it.”
Opal said: “This is good news, it may be fatal to him.”
Reckett said: “Yes, he can only read the enemy’s thinking activities, but he can never read the opponent’s short-lived intuition.”
“I’m leaving now.” Opal said: “Is it the Iszul galaxy? How do I get in and become his subordinate? Direct allegiance to him? I’m afraid he will be suspicious of my sudden appearance. .”
Reckett handed Opal a small card and replied: “This is your new identity card. It has already been arranged. He will not doubt it, because this is the last card left in our hands. The magic star had entered into an old contract, and Coralin used this contract not long ago, and asked an elder in the magic star to find a suitable heir for him. But he did not know that this elder was our ally. Yike Lorraine’s understanding and cognition of the magic star, he will not suspect that the magic star is deceiving him…”
Opal: “Will he trace our life experience?”
Recht: “These are all wrapped in our body. After sending you away, Ledgerson and I will go to separate and modify your traces of existence. After all, after you leave the Chiyan Galaxy, the only place you have lived is the country of mercenaries. , Ledgerson is going to execute now, including revising the memory of people you know.”
“It is not difficult to erase the records related to you, unless Coralin deliberately thinks about every detail… but I don’t think he will waste time on this.”
Opal: “My ID card was created by Kadir of Hollens Mining for me.”
Reckett nodded and said: “I know them. That is also a very old family. Before Cololin betrayed the church, Kadir’s father had a brief relationship with him, and this was on my body.”
Opal nodded.
“I’ll give you a ride, Opal.”
Reckett led the Opal towards the masonry road surrounding the asteroid, and there was a rusty spaceship waiting for them in the middle of the masonry road.
“Today, the past history has disappeared. Not many people know you, so your name is still Opal.” Reckett said: “You don’t have a surname, you don’t know who your father is, your mother treats you After you were born, you died in a mining disaster on VO-703, the mineral jurisdiction of the Sphinx star. The Sphinx is your second hometown. You snatched the gun from the pirate ship and took it from an old pirate. Learn to use it there, and finally you kill the old pirate-these are in your memory.”
“Now a phantom star has found you.” Reckett took Opal to the spacecraft. There was a whirlpool of gas, and the central core was glowing. Opal remained silent for a moment, and then said: “Hello.”
The Phantasmal Man did not answer. Reckett said: “Its name among humans is Master Sang. All of Coralin’s cronies were killed in the invasion of the Fiery Star. He desperately needs his men. So he entrusted the wise man of the Phantom Star to search for him. The right candidate, you will be one of the apprentice candidates recommended by Master Sang to Kolorin.”
Sang: “Hello, human.”
Opal gave it a star knight salute.
The whirlwind made a rustling sound, and the pale green light flickered in the center of the whirlpool.
Ledgerson and Reckett salute it together.
“This is the third thing I promised the Church of the Stars.” Sang’s voice resounded in their minds: “It’s also the last thing.”
Reckett said politely: “Yes.”
Sang: “From the moment you send your disciple to New Phoenix, the grip of Xuanguang, my agreement with the Church of the Stars is cancelled as scheduled.”
Reckett said: “Thank you very much for your assistance. Everything is left to you.”
Sang: “Let’s go, kid.”
Opal and Reckett hugged tightly, his eyes flushed, and said: “Teacher, shall we meet again.”
Reckett said: “Yes, trust me, Opal, I will find a way to contact you at the right time.”
Opal was relieved, hanging a cloth bag on one shoulder, and stepped back onto the spaceship.
He couldn’t help but stretched out his hand again and held Reckett together until he had to stand up. The two fingers separated. Reckett stepped back and said, “Opal, I’m proud of you.”
Opal stared at him in a daze, the hatch slowly closed, and Reckett made a star knight to Opal, the spacecraft lifted off on the ground, the airflow swept the whole wheat field, and turned around and left the little prince planet of Muse.
