Chapter 586 Soul Poison
When Talos said ‘that person’, Soshyan was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately realized who the other person was referring to.
Indeed, in terms of understanding of the Dark Eldar, he is probably the only one who knows it.
Soshiyang frowned and thought for a while, and then said to the nuns:
"Let's take a rest for a day or two, and I will go find a way to detoxify Sister Anna. ”
"Thank you very much."
After asking the staff to arrange accommodation for the nuns, Soshyan immediately returned to Kayan's cell.
“The Bloodling?”
After listening to Soshiyang’s narration, Khayon frowned.
“That shouldn’t be the case. They rarely act alone. That’s weird.”
“What exactly are the Haemonculi?”
“Well, their origins are actually very complicated——”
The Haemonculi are also called the Lords of Pain, they are terrifying and crazy flesh and blood. Plasticists, they have lived in the abyss of Commorragh for over ten thousand years.
They are masters of torture, the greatest connoisseurs of fear among the Dark Eldar. To while away centuries of boredom, they will use the prisoners in their dungeons to compose loving symphonies of pain, even for the Dark Eldar. The compatriots of the clan will also be afraid of them, because the Haemonculi's technology not only reshapes flesh and blood, but even the soul cannot escape.
The Haemonculi are often organized into "associations". This association is an integral part of the deformed society of Commorragh, because the Dark Eldar must rely on them for their necessary regeneration procedures and torture. Even so, they Still the embodiment of terror and paranoia, even in the eyes of his own kind.
Everyone knows that anyone who dares to anger the Lord of Pain will be transformed into a new style of horrific painting.
The Haemonculi are particularly good at carving and modifying the flesh, and love to use flesh as a new "canvas". If the client wants to decorate the shoulders with spiked feathers, have plastic surgery to look like an alien scaly reptile, or turn the eyes into chrome Green dimensional spiders are not difficult for the Haemonculi to obtain.
How a Dark Eldar became a Haemonculi is unknown. They are all Eldar from ancient times. Even among the immortal Eldar, their withered and terrifying bodies represent the years. The passage of time, even bathing in the pain and suffering of others, cannot make them rejuvenate.
Those of the oldest Haemonculi, or members of the Ancient Haemonculi, may even include members who founded the first Orgy Sect, born in the era before the fall of the Eldar - although this theory has never been It is not confirmed, but all Haemonculi have altered their physical forms so that they are completely different from other members of their kind.
Physically, different individual Haemons will choose different decorations due to their own preferences and crazy thoughts, but there is no difference between thinness and distortion. There is not a trace of fat on their pale bodies, and their waists are in the middle. There's no guts either, which adds to the stylish and gruesome image.
Some haemonculi hide their hearts, lungs, and other internal organs in a mass of muscle growing out of their shoulders, a cheek pouch filled with stimulants and other alchemical concoctions that often sprouts a second pair of arms.
Others will replace their own blood with hot spiritual fluid, or even inject acid into their modified blood vessels.
Their spines are stretched outward and grow down to the lower part of the back, and the tail vertebrae form a bony tail that can be supported on the ground and capable of strangling prey.
A bone bracket will protrude from the back of the Haemon and be fixed to the head. A weird syringe hangs on the bracket, which can easily inject medicine into the prey's body.
Due to their near-immortal life, the Haemonculi are not as restless and fanatical as other young Dark Eldar. They rely on the support of anti-gravity crystals and move with a sickly grace, while some It will slide on the ground with its bony tail like a poisonous snake. After all, the sick villain knows that a perfect death requires enough time.
The Haemonculi are also very different from their other compatriots in their concept of wealth. They particularly value rare alchemical raw materials, such as the heart of the discerning Inquisitor or the extract of the vain and conceited Planetary Governor. The former is rich in the strong taste of perseverance, while the latter is The bloated thrill that comes from vanity.
Thousands of years of time have not completely affected them. Many Haemonculi have become extremely paranoid, such as only eating the left hand of the victim or drinking only the tears of children in cups.
“The one who attacked the nuns should be a Haemonculus belonging to the Association of Changers. They are famous for never wearing the same anatomical equipment. They are best at playing with poisons and are the leading poisoners in Comoros. Supplier.”
Soshiyang sighed, it didn’t feel good to ask for help, and he asked a traitor for help.
But he really had no better way. The pharmacists, including Valere, had all examined Velez's body, and everyone came to the same conclusion.
The poison in this nun has never been seen before. It not only attacks the blood and nerves at the same time, but also automatically generates some kind of drug resistance. No matter what relievers they inject, it has no effect. Even their bones in Velez Toxins were detected in Lidu - this also means that the exchange transfusion therapy will not work.
There is no doubt that the only hope of saving Velez lies in Khayon, who knows the dark elves best. "Then do you know how to detoxify?"
Kayon raised his head, with a half-smile expression on his face.
"If I said, I can solve it, but you have to let me go, what would you choose?"
Soshyan clenched his fists.
"Then I promise you."
Although he said this, Soshyan made a decision in his heart. If Kayan really asked for it, then even if he let him go, He will also send others to kill him secretly.
Kayon seemed to see through his thoughts, laughed, and said:
"Even if you really let me go, you will let Talos follow you and kill me, right? I am a useless person now, Can’t go anywhere.”
"What about your answer?"
Kayon thought for a moment, and then said:
"Have you ever tried being a psyker?"
"I doubt it too. The poison may be some kind of curse, so I asked the most powerful astropath on the planet to observe it, but the result was not ideal. Anna's soul seemed to be covered by something."
Kayon nodded.
"That's it. Finitas once told me that the most dangerous poison for changers is the so-called 'soul poison'. This poison not only attacks the body, but also attacks the soul. It is almost a blow to non-psionic people. She must be killed, but since she is still alive, it means that something is protecting her soul. It may be some kind of holy object, or it may be that her family has some special bloodline, or she herself has good psyker potential. ."
"What should I do?"
"I don't have a good solution. After all, this is the Xue Lingren's unique poison. If there is anyone who can solve it, I can only think of two. One is the mad doctor of the Third Legion, Fabius Bayer the Skinner. He once studied with the Haemonculus and may have mastered the method of detoxification, but this guy is more famous than Nurgle's Garden. Stinky, few people even think highly of him in the Eye of Fear. As for the second one, he is the Supreme Prophet of Uthvi in the Ark World. He is considered one of the strongest among the Eldar. It is said that his lifespan is the longest among all the Eldar. Long, its birth even precedes the death of the Eldar. There may be a way to cure the poison caused by his fallen kindred spirits, but I can’t think of anything else.”
Soshiyan was stunned, Fabiu. He had never heard of Si, let alone the tone of Khayon who sounded like he was a very bad traitor.
Usvita in the Arkworld knew about it, and had a conflict with him because of Talos.
If you think about it carefully, neither of these two paths seems to work.
"Let's do this. I personally suggest that you use a stasis field to preserve her body first. As for her soul, let the astropath check it from time to time. There should be no problem in a short period of time, and then we can Think of other ways."
Kayan's suggestion was very practical, and Soshyan nodded in agreement.
“That’s all it can do.”
Two days later, he met the nuns again at the airport.
"Sister Anna's condition is very bad. The only way at the moment is to put her into a life-sustaining stasis field and then find a way to detoxify her."
Sisters, look at me, I'll look at you, Then it was Yanis who came forward and said:
"Then please leave it to Chapter Commander Soshyan. We do not have this kind of equipment on our ship. When we return to the great monastery, we will send someone to pick up Vilay. Sister Ci. "
Soshiyang nodded. There are many types of stasis fields. The most common one is the standard stasis field that saves equipment, but if you want to save life, it needs to be complicated. There are many technologies, so the life-type stasis field is very rare and expensive. Even among the Astartes Chapter, basically only the fearless can enjoy this treatment.
But what Soshyan did not expect was that in the following months, the Ebony Grail Order suffered a major setback in a battle with the Necron. All the senior members of the Order, including the Grand Sister, were killed. Only less than 20% of the combat strength of the entire order remained, and the matter of bringing back Velez was delayed.
And this delay is a very long time——
