Chapter 526 Spying


Chapter 526 Spying

The Memorial Garden is located on the east side of the Avenue of Heroes. Sorge watched the hive city law enforcement team in bright colors walking past and walking along the extremely wide road towards the gate, which was the middle-level hive city. A giant portico built into the high walls can be clearly seen from miles away.

The environment of the garden is very elegant. The oval pool surrounded by the inscription wall is filled with white water lilies, and the flower beds next to it are filled with clumps of rushes and vine-like flowers.

Here, you can't see any trace of war, as if the dark galaxy is countless light years away.

But Sorge has seen countless such small worlds that thought they were independent from the world, and were eventually ravaged and destroyed by ruthless violence.

The Milky Way is just a bloody colosseum. Anyone who wants to be safe will pay the most tragic price.

However, people here respect the dead very much.

They engraved those names on the stone bricks of the avenue, in this garden, and on the black marble walls of the Memorial Hall.

The remains of the deceased are placed in this garden, and the pre-built tombs are located under the pool and flower beds.

Sorge could imagine a scene. After countless years of war, no more names could be engraved on the stone bricks of the avenue, the tombs were filled, and the walls of the memorial hall were all covered.

How will they commemorate the dead then?

Then he blinked and dismissed the weird idea.

The funeral transport ship landed smoothly on the stone apron in the garden. The eight spaceships were parked side by side, with their wings folded above them like butterfly wings. The coffins they transported could not be transported until later. Remove.

As a funeral attendant, he has been here long enough, about thirty minutes, which is enough time to arouse suspicion.

It's time to break away and find a new identity.

Sorge picked up his package, put it on his shoulder, and walked quietly along the lawn.

The dark funeral uniform was solemn and neat. At the same time, because there was nothing on this simple clothing except the golden emblem of the funeral guard, he seemed to have a high status out of thin air.

In a city where people are wearing uniforms everywhere, he can assume any identity without being exposed, unless someone knows the uniforms of all agencies.

Yet all eyes are on something bigger.

Sorge stepped onto the path to the north of the garden as if he were in no one's land, passed through giant arches with sharp edges, and walked along the road lined with flags on both sides under the shade of the majestic yew trees.

The garden designers planned this place to be an elegant, quiet and sad place.

The gray canopy is enough to turn the rays of the midday sun into twilight, and the floor tiles, memorial walls and tomb arches are all made of lapis lazuli.

The oval pond is covered with water plants, and the still water is as dark as a curtain.

Under the smooth mirror-like water surface, ghost-like fish swim back and forth. The plants floating on the water are gray, just like handkerchiefs soaked in tears, smooth as a mirror——
< br>A breeze swept through the trees around him, and Sorge tensed his body.

Ripples spread across the surface of the pond.

Suddenly, Sorge's eyelids began to twitch.

His mouth was dry and he felt pain pulsing in his skull.

"Please, not now."

He whispered softly but firmly, knowing his master was trying to summon him.

The man was trying to establish psychic communication, predictably using a nearby pond as a projection surface.

There is no doubt that He has been keeping track of his whereabouts and confirmed that he has not deviated from the mission direction.

Sorge swallowed hard, and the breeze roared again, disturbing the gray leaves.

At this time, the heavy objects in his backpack began to tremble slightly, as if he was aware of the subspace disturbance around him.

【Please, Master】

This time he spoke with his heart.

[This place is very dangerous, let me find a safe place, otherwise I may be exposed. There are psykers watching from the high tower in the middle of the hive city]

Suddenly, the breeze Brush slowly.

The pain disappeared.

He turned around and continued walking, but there was still a stinging pain on his skin.

The distant sounds became so dull that Sorge felt like he was underwater.

He couldn't help but glance at the pond beside him and found that the water surface had become still, like a black mirror - a divination mirror. The fish in the pond were suspended in the water, and their fins stopped in the process of swinging.

A shadow fell on the casting surface, but it was not his shadow.

He was horrified to see the dark golden eye-shaped pattern, the cat-shaped creature that kept walking around, and the giant-like figure.

The figure quickly occupied the entire pond.

[Really not possible, Master]

He turned around, tore his eyes away from the shadow, and strode forward along the stone paved road, with a buzzing in the back of his head. .

In the end, the psychic tentacles disappeared.

He quickly left the garden and came to the extremely quiet street.

The communication that failed to unfold gave him a splitting headache and his hands were shaking.

But he must be cautious now. He inspected the security system of Soames Nest and knew that the master of the nest had activated the psychic surveillance power.

Furthermore, there is also a large number of astropaths stationed in this world. The defense system must have integrated psychic technology. If unobstructed communication is established in the garden, it is likely to be detected. .

Being detected by a psyker would make his job much more difficult, and could cost him his life.

Sorge is tired of running for his life.

Trembling all over, he discovered a rather magnificent tavern on an empty street corner, with light inside.

This luxuriously decorated place is for House officials and politicians, and the entire area adjacent to the Memorial Garden is quite elegant and wealthy.

So he walked in.

The gorgeous hall is filled with gilded decorations and candlesticks, and the frescoed ceiling overlooks rows of tables, chairs and boxes along the walls.

The place was very empty now, with only a few idle waiters and some servitors. He was spotted immediately.

Sorge sat down in the nearest box and immediately fell into the relatively private environment.

These high-backed chairs are upholstered in leather, and the entire box is surrounded by pieces of stained glass to isolate it from the outside world.

Behind the box, the wall above the seats was made up of a large piece of crystal glass, allowing Sorge to observe the people entering and leaving the tavern without attracting attention.

His hands were still shaking.

The waiter in an apron brought him a pitcher of water and an open cup, as well as a large glass of cognac that he ordered when he entered.

"Do you want to have a meal, sir?"

The waiter asked softly.

Food is a good idea, adequate carbohydrates and protein can help eliminate the headaches caused by psychic communication.

"Bread, salted butter, and a fried Glock steak."

Glocks are large, fast and aggressive reptiles that originated in the Solomon System .

When the system was annexed to the Empire, it was discovered that the animal possessed many useful properties, such as the ability to survive in almost any environment and feed on even the most indigestible foods.

Grox meat itself is also very delicious and nutritious, and due to their value as livestock they were introduced to other planets throughout the galaxy, so Grox are currently the most common livestock throughout the Empire.

“We also have some fresh apple peaches.”

Apple peaches are a very expensive fruit that can only be grown in parts of the agricultural world. This thing has a big disadvantage—— If their storage temperature cannot be accurately controlled below 18.5 degrees, they will rot within a few minutes.

But its sweetness and juiciness are also famous in the galaxy. Generally, only the middle and upper levels of the hive have the opportunity to eat it.

"Okay, let's have one, with some root vegetables."

The waiter nodded, then turned and walked into the kitchen.

More updates tomorrow! !
