Chapter 443 Restraint and Purity
“Ming…Ming…”
Hera?
Yang Ming kept turning around in his hazy dream, but he could not catch sight of that familiar figure.
A distorted ball of colorful light suddenly appeared in front of him. Yang Ming frowned and stared, and suddenly saw a figure in the light.
Hera's figure.
She was wearing a light white short skirt, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands, smiling at herself tenderly without any burden or pressure.
'Welcome back.'
Suddenly, Hera's figure became twisted and folded, and the colorful light ball kept shaking, condensing into another picture.
A 'woman' with a charming appearance, a human-like body outline, and covered with black scales, stretched out a tentacle from under her ribs, trapped Hera's neck, and stretched forward in the direction of Yang Ming. Hera was sleeping quietly.
This picture is just like... fishing.
The great queen?
The colorful ball of light twisted again, and Hera's figure in a short skirt appeared again.
Yang Ming stared ahead with an expressionless face.
This is not a dream, but a transmission of information. The "woman" covered in scales should be a higher-level form of insects, but for some reason, she is very similar to humans.
Does the queen want to use this method to lure him into the higher-dimensional world for another fight?
Yang Ming's emotions were constantly changing, becoming a little angry and a little impulsive.
Reason told him that he had to get out of his current situation as quickly as possible, as he might have fallen into the other party's trap.
But Hera's figure kept appearing, and he couldn't calm down at all.
"boss?"
Lu's voice suddenly sounded, and Yang Ming opened his eyes suddenly.
The ceiling of the bridge, which was filled with soft light, came into view, and next to it was a realistic projection of Ritsu, with her pretty face that looked a little nervous.
Feeling a little dizzy, Yang Ming closed his eyes for more than ten seconds before the dizziness gradually disappeared.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Lu asked with concern:
"I detected abnormal fluctuations in your brain waves, and a tidal phenomenon in the biological energy in your body... Did you have a nightmare?"
Yang Ming shook his head, thinking back on what he had just seen and heard, and whispered, "It shouldn't be a dream."
He briefly described what had happened.
Lu was listening quietly beside him, and soon frowned and looked thoughtful.
"Is she asking for help?" Yang Ming asked.
"Combined with what you said, this doesn't seem like a call for help, but more like entrapment."
Lu explained worriedly:
“We know too little about the higher-dimensional world, so it’s hard to be sure whether the higher-dimensional bugs have already made plans against the ancient god warriors.
"If the bugs in the higher-dimensional world attack you because they feel threatened, then... Boss, we should hurry up and push forward our plan. Only by being at the same level as them can we resist the pressure they bring."
Yang Ming responded, then he let out a long breath and laughed again:
"The good news is that her mind is not dead, the bad news is that she can't dominate the queen.
“I always feel a little sorry for her… She helped me so much, created such a great opportunity for me, and finally merged with the Zerg Queen’s mind for the experimental project given to me by the Faya people.
"well."
Lu smiled and said, "To put it another way, after you solve the problem in your hometown, you will most likely try to enter the higher-dimensional world. Miss Hera still exists, and she is waiting for you in the higher-dimensional world. Isn't this a way for human emotions to sublimate?"
Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Good job, Xiaolu, your skills in comforting people are getting better and better."
“I’m just stating a fact.”
Lu Wen said:
"As your symbiote, I must give you some corresponding tips. With the deadline of '753 in the Imperial New Calendar' (the launch of the Planet stand-alone version of "Abyss") approaching, and the continuous accumulation of energy in your body, you are not far away from attempting individual dimensional upgrades.
“Among your many lovers, Miss Windsor and Mimily have no chance of completing individual dimensional ascension.
"Captain Catherine's possibility of upgrading is infinitely close to zero, but there is still a very slim hope. If I were to give her any advice, it would be to let her not try to upgrade, but live out her colorful life in this dimension.
"The only one who can accompany you is actually your former powerful enemy and now your sister Po Suo, who is full of maternal... nature. I suggest that you place your human emotions on Po Suo, so as to improve the stability of your thinking after entering the higher-dimensional world."
Yang Ming: …
"You wanted to say mother, didn't you?"
"Boss, you heard wrong! Ahaha, Molly called me, there's a small problem with Luo Feng, I'll go deal with it first! Please be safe, as long as you pay attention, you shouldn't be tempted by similar information again!"
call out!
Lu's projection disappeared in an instant.
The corners of Boss Yang's mouth twitched slightly, and he sat on the sofa in a daze.
Outside the wide porthole, the stars are rotating 'slowly'.
The Dongfeng, which was still alive and kicking after the great battle, was gradually approaching the designated airspace.
Instead of going directly to the CIA formation, it turned and headed towards a desolate planet outside the border of the empire.
Catherine was already waiting there alone.
Yang Ming soon saw her figure.
On the endless white plain, a small spaceship stopped in the corner of the picture. Catherine was wearing a slim-fitting space suit and a transparent helmet on her head that allowed her to breathe freely. Against the backdrop of the white sky, she looked so small and tall.
haven't seen you for a long time.
Yang Ming touched the figure on the projection screen with his fingers, and there was a little more eagerness in his eyes, but he hid this eagerness.
Catherine is very principled and may not necessarily admit that the two are lovers.
Now they are comrades-in-arms and partners, fellow travelers who understand and support each other, which is more rare than a lover relationship.
"Well, you must restrain yourself later."
Boss Yang murmured.
At the same time, on that planet.
Catherine bit her lip lightly and sighed slightly in her heart.
"Now, we are no longer lovers, we are comrades-in-arms. The friendship between comrades-in-arms is more important than any other feelings. Don't do anything extreme later, or he will look down on you."
"Well, our relationship needs to return to purity."
Catherine was equally determined.
…
Imperial Star, Palace Module.
The old emperor lay beside a warm pool of water, with several beautiful girls providing him with artificial breeze.
A young girl was holding a fancy projection device with some text messages flashing on it.
The old emperor sighed: "Hanton actually took the initiative to talk to me? Oh, my Knight Commander is indeed a very good son-in-law... Where is Daphne now?"
"Your Majesty, Her Highness Daphne is on a foreign visit."
"Oh," the old emperor shook his head, looked at the news again, and said with a smile, "My Knight Commander has not had a good time recently. So many people are watching him. Let Daphne pay less attention to other things and spend more time with Hanton."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"It would be perfect if my grandson could have the blood of the ancient god."
The maids didn't dare to respond at all.
When the emperor was older, he talked about his descendants, which were often related to the succession to the throne.
They don't want to be involved in such an extremely sinister political struggle.
…
Half a day later.
Unknown planet, in a small spaceship.
The two men and women, who still look young, hugged each other in the sleeping bags, feeling each other's heartbeat and breathing.
Next to the sleeping bags were their clothes and protective suits.
They had been in this position for more than half an hour.
Yang Ming bent down and kissed Catherine's hair, and decided to find a less embarrassing topic.
"How do you feel?"
"Very, very good," Catherine whispered, and then gently bit the muscle on Yang Ming's chest. "Don't discuss this topic. I'm here to have a meeting with my sponsor."
"Okay Captain."
Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled: "We can't help it. It's nothing. We are all adults. We have a lot of pressure in life and work... Actually, I want to ask, how are you feeling about your work recently? The work of overthrowing the empire."
"Overall it went smoothly," Catherine hugged Yang Ming's old waist and leaned in his arms.
Only at this moment could she let down her guard and relax completely.
Catherine whispered, "Only by understanding it in depth and changing one's position can one feel how many crimes the empire has committed. Human nature is greedy. The characteristic of a political system with hundreds of billions of people is extreme greed. Everyone wants a better life, and the collective composed of these individuals will become a disaster for other individuals."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Oh, are you starting to study philosophy?"
"I'm serious!"
Katherine looked up and glared at him.
Boss Yang immediately put away his playful smile.
He said seriously, "Okay, Captain, I've actually been thinking about this as well. However, the more you study philosophy, the more you become detached from the masses. We should be more simple, especially in terms of our feelings and stances."
"Well," Catherine said, "To put it simply, I now feel that the Empire is a huge evil aggregation. Not only the Empire, but also the New Federation, the United States of Freedom, and so on, all political systems that have developed to a certain scale have themselves produced some internal and external exploitation and oppression. This seems to be a historical phenomenon."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "If you can figure this out by thinking on your own, then you can become a thinker in the future."
"Why?"
“This is one of the fundamental problems of human society.”
Yang Ming smiled and said:
“You are actually confusing the basic concepts of these issues.
"We are against the empire, and we are against the empire's system. It is the empire's exploitation from top to bottom. After an unfair incident, the empire's laws allow the nobles to gain more benefits and magnify this unfairness. It is also on this basis that the empire's hegemony and continuous exploitation of small political bodies arise.
“We hate the New Federation because of the negative impact of the New Federation’s electoral politics. Their political parties, for their own interests and for the interest groups they represent, often exploit, bully, fool the people, control speech, etc.
"In a sense, they are also a kind of imperial system. The reason why they seem more democratic and free is that their aristocracy uses the monetary system to maintain their privileges. It is easier to earn money to live a decent life than to become a hereditary noble in the empire.
“The two are naturally different.
"The direction you are thinking about now is actually the collective and the individual, which is what we often say, whether to go the way of a big country with small people or a small country with big people. This is just a difference in the degree of emphasis on the collective and the individual interests."
Catherine thought for a moment, "So, Hanton, have you ever thought about a question?"
"What's the problem?"
"When we overthrow the empire, what new system will we establish?"
Yang Ming was stunned.
He hummed a few times: "I really haven't thought about this problem... In fact, wanting to overthrow the empire is a very stressful thing. The fastest way is to create political turmoil, but as long as the imperial army is not damaged, this army will still become a tool of the new ruling class."
Catherine asked back: "What about directly inciting the army to revolt?"
"I have thought about this method and am trying it."
Yang Ming said:
"At this stage, the conditions are not yet ripe, and the imperial soldiers have been subjected to strong brainwashing education, taking loyalty as an honor.
“If you want to break the imperial army’s sense of honor, you have to find a way to create more unrest within the empire, trigger problems in all aspects of the empire, and make the military lose control of the army.
"The key point lies in the empire's defense system.
"The battle in this regard has actually already begun, and if we take one wrong step, we will lose everything."
"Can I share something with you?" Catherine asked softly.
"No, you just need to move towards your ideal now," Yang Ming stroked her smooth skin with his palm, feeling the tenderness radiating from her inside out, "We will perform another play later."
"acting?"
"Yeah, acting."
Yang Ming smiled and said:
“I went to Domingos Planet before and found some key global breakthrough points.
"Now, I will openly wipe out some of the Domingos' terrorist organizations, especially the organization that participated in planning the poison gas bombs and the so-called Chauvin Freedom. These two organizations have directly offended me, and I will not let them continue to exist.
“For other organizations, I would look at the lives of civilians they are carrying and give them a different future.
“For those who have committed more crimes, punish the main culprits and let the smaller ones go. For those who have committed less crimes, let them go and drive them into a desperate situation. Then you can take over and become their leader.
“This is where you need to act.
“Let’s have a head-on fight. I will defeat you, but you have to show your super fighting ability.
“This matter must cause a sensation. You must make these resistance organizations regard you as a spiritual leader. You must also prepare some speeches and make some inspiring remarks.
"My assistant will help you arrange everything."
Yang Ming was talking with great excitement, but Catherine frowned as she listened.
She asked in a low voice: "Isn't this a lie? How can I be your opponent now?"
"I just happen to be able to hype up my affectionate personality. I love you, Catherine." Yang Ming said affectionately.
"Pooh!"
Catherine hit him lightly, almost making Yang Ming unable to breathe.
"Okay, you can arrange it."
Yang Ming blinked: "Catherine, the next time we have a chance to meet like this, it will probably be a long time later..."
"We're not a couple right now," Catherine frowned slightly.
Just as Boss Yang was about to nod in disappointment, she suddenly raised her hands and wrapped them around Yang Ming's neck, took the initiative to come forward, and whispered in Yang Ming's ear:
"Today is an exception. I'm drunk."
Pure and restrained.
