Chapter 614 The Mystery of Said
Soshiyang’s mind was in confusion at this time.
He was already certain that Brother Seid must have lied to him, or that his memory had been modified, so he didn't know that there was an established undead army on the Sanctuary Planet?
All kinds of thoughts were wandering in Soshiyang's heart, but he didn't know where to start.
Finally, he suddenly thought of a question.
"If you have been able to use gray marrow on a large scale, why are there such huge casualties?"
Soshiyang is well aware of the power of gray marrow, even if only a hundred people have been transplanted with gray marrow. Warrior, he is also confident that he can reach the tens of thousands of demon army.
Gray Marrow has an overwhelming advantage over subspace power.
Randall smiled bitterly and replied:
“Because we can’t say it’s used on a large scale. There have never been more than a hundred soldiers who can match the gray marrow, and the gray marrow we transplanted is deteriorated. Not only does it have a limited effect, but its use time is also limited. After repeated use, it will cause death due to metalization of the organs.”
"Metalization of organs——"
Soshiyang's eyes widened, and he suddenly imagined in his mind the scene of all the organs in his body turning into metal. It must be extremely painful and hopeless - this outcome made him shudder. .
“How many people do you have now?”
“Six hundred and thirty-two people.”
From the original three thousand people, it has now become less than seven hundred. Man, Soshiyan can imagine what the White Templar has gone through over the years.
But then, he frowned again.
“That’s not right, shouldn’t the gray marrow metallize the bones first?”
“Yes, this is the problem with deteriorated gray marrow. It will lead to the metalization of internal organs first. and the process is very fast."
"Why is this happening?"
"Because we have lost the initial gray marrow liquid."
Randall took a deep look at Soshyan.
“You should be very clear about the importance of the initial gray marrow fluid. Only the gray marrow obtained from the initial transplanter can be perfectly transplanted to other people. The gray marrow that has been transplanted once will not be transplanted again if it is transplanted again. If someone else transplants it, there will be deterioration.”
Soshiyan blinked, Brother Said had told him about this.
Unlike gene seeds, gray marrow can grow geometrically. In order to ensure the quality of transplanted gray marrow and avoid serious defects, all gray marrow can only come from his body, which is equivalent to saying that he is the only gray marrow. Source of marrow.
"What happened to your original gray marrow transplant?"
Randall turned his gaze to the gate of the webway and said in a serious tone:
“He is inside.”
“Inside?”
“On the other side of the gate , it is not directly the Webway. For the sake of safety, when the Master was ordered to build this Webway, he also built a huge area at the exit of the Webway. The structure of this area was conceived from the alien Necron. It is essentially a maze. A lot of anti-psionic methods are used in it, just to prevent the demon army from rushing out of the webway directly and causing harm to the world when there is an accident.”
“So that’s it——”
"The Horus Heresy broke out and the Webway was turbulent. Although some demons emerged, the ancestors were able to cope with it after being blocked by the labyrinth. However, six thousand years ago, a new situation seemed to have occurred in the labyrinth. The number of demons that emerged There was a sudden surge, and the chapter immediately suffered huge losses, and was almost unable to sustain it. In order to know that something was wrong in the maze, the then chapter leader, who was also the first generation chapter leader, entered the webway alone, but."
Randall shook his head.
“He never came out again.”
“It turned out to be like this”
Soshyan immediately understood that the white saint who disappeared on the side of the webway at that time The first generation of the Chapter Commander, he was also the "initial gray marrow transplanter" of this undead army's legacy. In fact, he was the "Acting Legion Commander" with the same qualifications as Soshyan.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt something strange.
If the other party is still there, will this meeting be awkward?
After a moment of silence, Soshyan asked:
"What is his name?"
"It is recorded in the Chapter Archives that people call him. Brother Said.”
For a moment, a thunder flashed through Soshiyang's mind!
“What——”
At this moment, he was beyond surprised.
Looking at Soshyan's expression as if he had seen a ghost, Randall seemed to have some realization and asked softly: "Have you ever heard of this name?"
"Well -"
Soshiyang took two deep breaths, and after calming down, he considered whether to reveal the truth to the other party.
At present, it seems that the other party is worthy of trust, but after all, the two met by chance, even though they may be blood brothers, the most important thing is that, unlike people like Kayon, he has no means to restrict the other party.
"If it's inconvenient"
"Brother Said is currently here with us. Well, it should be said that he established the Astral Knights by himself."
After hearing this, Randall was stunned for a while, and then lowered his head, as if thinking.
Soshiyang also looked at him silently.
Five minutes later, Randall raised his head again, his face as normal, except for a little more gloom between his brows.
"I can't imagine it, but I believe what you said. Brother Said, or someone who calls himself Brother Said, is here with you. The gray marrow in your body can prove this."
"But now Brother Said has become a fearless man."
"It turned out to be like this-"
Randall moved his eyes to the gate of the webway again.
"It seems that the truth is still hidden behind this door."
"What truth?"
"Brother Said, what exactly happened or happened to him back then? What.”
Randall suddenly turned his head and stared at Soshyan blankly.
"Soshyan, do you want to know the truth? Will you take a risk for this truth?"
After hearing this question, Soshyan was surprised at himself .
He didn't hesitate, and suddenly everything felt right, as if this question had been waiting for him his whole life.
“Of course, I have to find out the truth.”
"That's easy to handle."
Randall smiled slightly and looked back towards the direction where the golden door stood and trembled.
"The truth is inside. Apart from you, I don't think many people in the entire empire can go in alive and come out alive——"
"You mean"
"What is your choice?"
Randall smiled, but the smile was quite bitter. Then the White Templar Chapter Leader said calmly:
“When we first know who we are, we all have our own fears. , Soshiyang. "
Soshiyang looked at the face that was somewhat similar to his own. For the first time, he saw vulnerability and sadness.
"Then will you go with me?"
"No, I will only slow you down if I go in."
Hearing what the other party said, Soshyan took a deep breath.
"I have always believed that nothing is unchangeable, hope is still there, hope has always been there."
After that, Soshyan stepped forward and strode towards the throbbing door. , both feet clicked as they stepped on the stone steps.
Randall just watched him leave without saying a word.
At this moment, at least for him, Soshyan's figure slowly overlapped with the back of another person - a person who was exhausted by eternal responsibilities and stumbled into the darkness.
Maybe from today on, he could forget the shattering screams of the horrific war raging deep underground.
As Soshyan said, hope is still there.
