Chapter 269 A rare and serious bird-catching discussion and...
"Well...so, why do you want me to talk about my thoughts?"
Lami Zane looked at Pettu in front of him Rabo.
"Because your opinion is as important as guiding our next actions, how about this reason?" The dog looked sideways at his body.
"Although, I do like to hear it." His body announced.
"The Destiny Steel is a big ship. Since Magna failed to detect any obvious problems before, and my monitoring of the infirmary did not report abnormal data, it is obvious that either someone has tampered with it, or our target has something special about it. "
Perturabo raised the tip of his claws and tapped his input device, and a three-dimensional holographic picture of the ship they were on appeared. Of course, some locations were hidden.
"But nothing was lost in the armory, and Sarakin did not have any weapons or equipment when he was sleeping in the training chamber, so... what kind of conspiracy is someone on our ship carrying out?" Lamizane He seemed to remember something and turned his eyes to a certain old man.
"Don't look at me, it's not me. Besides, it's not Alpha." The old man in civilian robes looked back at him indifferently. Deep in his eyes, there was a symbolic eye-shaped psychic energy. The magic lines are as active as the flames at the bottom of the abyss, showing the invisible confrontation and high-speed operation of some invisible things.
Someone withdrew his gaze angrily, and stretched out a hand to the table naturally. The attendant suddenly appeared at the table, filling the chapter leader's cup with hot Reca coffee latte, and then continued like this Like a breeze, he returned to where he was and stood there.
"Okay. Then it's neither of the two." He picked up the cup, took a sip of the familiar taste of Reka coffee, and narrowed his ice-blue eyes with satisfaction, Lamizane began to slowly organize his thoughts.
"Well...we have summarized, organized and analyzed the previous data to compress his possible hiding areas and activity routes to within 15% of the area on the ship." He looked at this exquisite The sparkling three-dimensional holographic projection moves the line of sight from one precise structure to another.
"He doesn't have power armor." He said suddenly.
“What?”
“He doesn’t have power armor, unlike the other people who were caught!” Lamizane said hurriedly, “Aimee was the first one to be caught. Nut retained most of his abilities and equipment, and the Thousand Sons' ideas and methods of hiding themselves may be different from those of the 19th Legion, so they are of little reference... and the second Vannas who was captured is also One...a Raven Guard, he had the help of his own power armor at the time," he followed the train of thought, "the power armor of the Space Marines is very important to them, not only for protection, communication, and movement, it also provides Give them shooting assistance, analyze items, and the ability to continue fighting for long periods of time without eating or drinking, so..."
He hurriedly clicked on the statistical report list in the officers' mess, "The statistics here began to be different from those at Vannas' time."
"Although Vannas did not touch the normal food at that time, Afterwards, we could find clues that he had indeed eaten the food in the canteen. However, Sarokin, who was not wearing armor this time and clearly needed food to maintain his activities, did not have the same data, so we set up the officer's canteen. The trap in the armory didn't catch anything, and the trap in the armory, which allowed us to capture Vanus, didn't have any movement."
He thought quickly, "So with that. Unlike Vannas, who had already surrendered himself as a member of Chaos at that time, Sharokin was not the kind of person who would actively rebel. He must also be very wary of the influence of Chaos, so he must be very concerned about it and would not eat food from unknown sources. ? And he is known to be a calm, tenacious, extremely patient and cautious warrior..."
"If I were him, I would definitely care about a few things. One is how to get it. Equipment, second, how to get out of here, third, if the first two are not possible, then how to get food and clean water, and finally, the nutrients required by the Astartes are very special, if the amount of food for mortals Rarely can a Space Marine survive for too long."
The ice-blue eyes sparkled with amusement.
"And we happened to have strengthened security measures several times due to various reasons. The options he has left are indeed not as many as before."
"Here." His fingertips landed on a certain part of the holographic image. At this point, the area was zoomed in, "I have a feeling that we can catch Nikon Sharokin here. - What color sack do you think he likes?"
—— ——————
The Crow Guard squatted in the narrow, damp pipe where he usually ate, and suddenly shivered for no reason.
He immediately became alert. In this demonic world transformed into a void ship, all causes and effects are closely related. He would not have such an inexplicable feeling of being devoured by greed. There must be someone. The powerful being noticed him.
Pure black shadows flowed around him full of life, even wanting to melt into his long hair that spread all over the floor. Sarakin gently but firmly refused. The Raven Guard's complexion was now so white and transparent that it was almost visible. When blue blood vessels appeared under his skin, his body temperature became very low, his heartbeat slowed down, and his hair was as black as ink, dimmer than the deepest night. Time to leave, he thought. While other places may not be safe, it would be even less wise to stay here.
Puffing the last bits of nutrient-rich soil and fat grass roots into his mouth, the Raven Guard let his mind wander and relaxed his muscles, like some kind of surreal world. Like a picture that only exists in imagination, the tall, thin, pale warrior "sinked" into the shadows under the leaves beside him like a dolphin entering the water.

【We are a step late. 】
Perturabo wandered around here for a while and told Lamizane with certainty, [He just left. 】
【Are you sure? 】
【I'm sure, but your idea is right. If you think about it again, where might he go? 】
Standing in the lush farm on the lower deck of the Destiny Steel, at the junction of the corn field and the colorful radish field, they stared at the traces of someone who had eaten here for a long time and then hurriedly smoothed the ground. This person It was done so carefully that if they hadn't arrived in time, the only traces would probably have been blurred after the first irrigation spray of the day, and presumably would have been eliminated with more care on a normal day.
[Although there are speculations, a space warrior just depends on eating carrots, nutrient soil and ditch irrigation water... although this is indeed an improved nutrient-rich variety. For a moment, I didn’t know whether to admire him or not. Do I look this terrible? You definitely won't, you look so cute... But it seems normal for crows to be afraid of dogs...]
[What are you mumbling? 】
【Nothing, I think the next place we should go to is...】

With the transmission, the crackle The sound of jumping electric sparks sounded, and the smell of oxidized metal gradually dissipated in the air here together with the figure of the uninvited guest. A corn tree in the corn field nearby shook its branches and leaves.
Then it shook again.
Like the weirdest magic, a figure with long black hair "walked out" from the shadow of the narrower leaves of the strong but slender corn stalk.
He stood there for a moment again to make sure that no one else was here.
It seems that they were indeed discovered here, but they left in a hurry, maybe they were chasing him. He should collect some food resources for the next meal as soon as possible and hide to see the situation...
The moment the Raven Guard's slender pale legs crossed the narrow ditch in the field.
A voice sounded happily.
"Caught you."
Nikona Sharokin didn't even waste time to make any response. He jumped high and instantly burst out all his remaining agility and strength towards the triumphant man. The demon delivered the fastest blow of his life.
“(Gu Terra swears) Wait, what about a Sarakin as big as me?!!”
