Chapter 1696 The Scorpion and the Silent One
In the dim cabin, a tall figure was walking slowly. As he walked, the black armor with flame patterns made a slight rubbing sound, and at the same time, the two sides There will also be frivolous singing coming from under the helmet embedded with blood-colored bat wings.
This metal passage is spacious enough to accommodate two Leman Russes passing side by side. The walls are polished chrome surfaces and fluorescent strips. Every curved wall is smooth and flawless. The floor is a bright silver floor. , the walls are covered with mirror-bright metal, the corridors and doorways are circular, and there are blank readout screens everywhere. All these screens and the luminous strips on the ceiling continue to emit a uniform light, which is consistent with the Imperial ships. There are great differences, but they have strong characteristics of human civilization.
Although there are no road signs around, the person walking is obviously very familiar with it. He walks leisurely through one fork after another. Passing through the unmanned cabins, he can see that all the machines are well maintained. , bright and clean, some pure white tall robots will occasionally appear in the cabin, performing certain maintenance actions that have been repeated countless times.
Soon, the man arrived at the bridge of the ship. It was even more different from the imperial ship. It was completely a shining sphere hundreds of meters in diameter, with several circular hovering platforms inside. , brightly lit, various operation buttons appear in the air in ghostly light projected by hidden holographic projectors, scanner readings are displayed on large flat screens hanging everywhere, and are automatically tracked according to commands.
The man wearing a war horse helmet is already here. He is looking at the slowly rotating star map without saying a word. Massive information is constantly passing by around him. Occasionally, there will even be highlighted names of people, such as Soshi Yang. ·Alexei.
"Huh? Why are you here? Where is the Scorpion?"
Hearing the other party's voice, the man wearing the war horse helmet did not look back, but said calmly:
“He went to see the prisoner again.”
“It’s been several days, right? Still he hasn’t been pried out yet?”
"He said it should be almost done today."
"I'll go take a look."
"Wait a minute."
At this time, the war horse helmet turned around.
“There are some things I want to discuss with you.”
The Bat Helmet then spread his legs slightly, crossed his arms with his chest, stood there in a very lazy posture, and nodded.
“Okay, you say it.”
“I feel that without our intervention this time, Soshyan’s chances of winning are slim.”
“You have already said this. Several times.”
“Now there are new changes.”
As he spoke, the war horse helmet stretched out his hand, and then a floating panel appeared in front of him. He fiddled with it twice, and some information appeared directly between the two of them, and the text was correct no matter which direction it was viewed from.
“Look.”
“Well, I guessed it right, the high lords are causing trouble again.”
Bat Helmet glanced at it and shook his head. shook his head.
“But now that the wise man is not here, we can’t interfere in this matter.”
"So I'm thinking about whether to help Soshiyang directly? But the wise man strictly prohibited our private activities before departure."
"Isn't the raven already wandering there now? Wait for him to come back We know the specific situation, and orders are orders, but we have to be more flexible. Let’s leave it like this for now. I’ll go check out Scorpion’s place.”
After that, Bat Helmet turned and walked towards another passage. , in the middle he also passed a square surrounded by towering gray-black metal stacks. These metal stacks were as tall as the buildings. The surface of each building had faint light ripples, and the wide circular dark light stone field on the ground It is filled with slender lights that form complex geometric shapes with swirling patterns that are constantly breaking down and reforming.
"Hello! Mr. Bat!"
Suddenly, a girl with short white hair and a silver gelcoat, about seventeen or eighteen years old, jumped out of the void. I saw many blue celebrity bars, many thin lines faintly forming a circuit on the face, and the pupils deep in the eyes were an ever-changing mosaic.
Facing the girl who suddenly appeared in mid-air, Bathelm did not turn his head. He just raised his right hand and waved, lazily responding:
"Hello, Lucy."
< br>"Do you need my help?"
"If you can, send me to the Scorpion, I'm too lazy to go that far."
"Okay~"
< br>
Along with the girl's cheerful voice, Bat Helmet felt his whole body tremble suddenly, and then he appeared in a dark room.
When he walked towards the door of the room and opened it, he immediately saw a figure standing by the wall not far away. Then he turned around and looked at the room where he appeared - it was actually a bathroom. . "I knew she wouldn't help unless she was playing tricks."
Smiling, the Bat Helmet walked towards the figure, who was leaning against a heavy blast door.
“Is it done?”
The Bat Helmet only asked, and the other person immediately raised his head, and at the same time, the lights in the corridor lit up.
The opponent wore armor of the same color as him, but the helmet was shaped into a dormant black scorpion, the shoulder armor was a scorpion pincer, and the scorpion tail was coiled around a power backpack.
"Today, I think."
A dull voice came from under Scorpion's helmet, then he straightened up, opened the door and walked in
"Okay, I want I’ll help you.”
As soon as Bathelm opened his mouth, the door slammed shut.
——————————
The Space Marine who had been stripped of his armor was hung on a chain. Only his shoulder armor remained in place, because it had Becoming an inseparable part of his body, the demonic faces on both sides of the shoulder armor were wrapped in a yellow bandage with spells, unable to make any sound.
At this time, he was falling into a drowsy dream——
“Surrender!”
The earth was burning and the sky was burning. Wearing a white priest's robe over his armor, he walked among the dead. Two shaking corpses followed him, roaring from his throat. They were all dead Imperial soldiers.
"Or die!"
He saw the battle ahead, the ignorant Imperials struggling under the onslaught of warriors in black armor.
Soon, he will destroy this religious world that worships the false emperor in the name of the Black Legion.
“This is the fury of revenge.”
These were the last words spoken by the corpse on his right. A pair of shiny black feathers were inserted into the corpse's back. The corpse's lips squirmed, but no sound came out.
Afterwards, sensing the danger, he immediately cast a spell, and a ball of white mist was spit out from the mouth that could no longer make a sound. The white mist gathered into a deep shadow, and then gathered into shape.
This is an evil beast, his life-saving talisman at critical moments.
Then, the body on his left also collapsed on the ground, with feathers on its back as well. The ominous black color made his hair stand on end.
He tried to summon his warriors, but found no response.
Even the sound of fighting disappeared -
Only
Only crows circled the battlefield, perching on the blackened roofs and ruins, landing on the corpses of the dead and rocks, and they cried Yelled, the cry tinged with mockery.
He's coming...he's coming...
Realizing the danger, he turns and starts running, summoning the fleet in orbit to call for help from anyone who can.
But there was no sound, just dead silence.
There were crows
They were hovering over his head, crowing constantly
He came...
At the end of the road, he While struggling to summon the power of subspace, he screamed a spell to wake up the dead, but it was already too late.
"Kill them! Kill them all!"
Furthered with rage by all this, he went crazy on the battlefield as if possessed, waving his arms at the black birds.
Suddenly, the Silent Man stopped and froze there, because he was just trying to strangle a crow.
