While Soshyan was waiting for the members of the Adeptus Mechanicus to awaken the machine soul of the battleship on Mars, a small ship marked as the Astral Knight suddenly arrived on Mars from Terra. Soshyan knew that ship without asking. Who, after all, the other party’s communication permission was approved by himself.
However, when it arrived, it brought something else.
"Rozim, what trouble have you caused me again?"
When the door to cabin 1 of the middle cargo deck of the Eternal Loyalty opened, Soshyan, who was wearing regular clothes, lowered his head. Cursing loudly, he walked in with a frown. At this time, Rozim was already waiting here. There were Loken, Isvin, Dogo and others beside him. As for his animal friends, Soshyan said that he would never Allow them to board the flagship.
As for short people, this is still acceptable.
Behind a few people, there was an oversized alloy container that looked as tall as two Soshyans and was very thick, giving the impression that it was specially used to transport dangerous goods.
"Leader, you are not a trouble! What a good thing!"
"The good things you say always make me numb for a long time."
Soshiyang He walked up to Rozim, stared at the container for a while, and then turned his head.
“Did you have fun this time?”
"Well, I'm pretty happy."
Soshiyang glanced at him and sneered.
"The money has been spent."
"It has been spent!"
Rozim nodded seriously.
"Can we live in peace then?"
Soshiyang's voice was a little helpless, but he could never restrain Rozim harshly, because this was one of the very few people he could speak without any scruples. , or even joking, he is the one who can completely let down his guard and say something from his heart. He is also the only one left in the battle group now. The people who entered the battle group with him may not be as capable as Talos, but for Soshyan, The importance of human beings is no less important than Talos.
"Of course. Uh, of course."
As he said that, Rozim suddenly sniffed.
"Eh? Brother, the smell of incense on your body is different from before. It feels the same as the smell in the Anglican Church, but it also smells like roses. Did you just come from the church?"
Soshyan pushed the other person a little annoyed, as if to tell him to stay away from him.
"What are you doing with such a sharp nose!? What's in this?"
Rozim touched his nose and muttered softly.
“Isn’t it normal for a cook to have a sharp nose?”
Then he glanced at Loken, and the technical priest immediately controlled the servo skull to lift into the air, and after docking with the device on the top of the container, the container The alloy plates in the four directions, front, rear, left and right, slowly lowered and folded, revealing the contents——
Soshyan's eyes immediately widened.
“You——”
It was a terrifying existence shackled by an invisible force field. A dark purple chitin carapace covered its body, which was as tall as two Space Marines. Its torso, its legs are as thick as tree trunks, its claws resemble those of savage reptiles, with huge forked and sharp toes, and there are two arms on each side of its torso, with frightening bone spurs and spines attached to the arms. It has a bone blade, and its six fingers have sharp claws like spear blades. It seems that you can still see the spiritual light surrounding the claw tips.
Up from the torso, there is a scarlet muscle-like neck with numerous exhaust holes, connected to a huge and evil head. This head is so huge that it is almost deformed, and the head cover is even stretched by the material inside. A spherical shape, with folds of aggregated brain tissue emerging from the surface. A row of sharp and neat spines extends from the back of the head to a long, sharply barbed tail, protecting the most vulnerable parts of the creature.
This thing is not unfamiliar to Soshyan at all, he has even killed one himself.
However, this does not change the fact that this is an extremely dangerous alien. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the most dangerous alien creature in the empire, because as long as this creature is given enough time, it can even make a planet fall.
"Genestealer Patriarch."
The corners of his eyes twitched, and then he turned to look at Rozim, his tone more severe than ever.
"Is it really because I indulged you too much that you dared to do this? Rozim!"
Rozim quickly explained:
"Captain, I didn't take the initiative to find it!"
"Then how did it come?"
"After watching the victory parade, a friend of mine happened to meet If there is something wrong, I will go and help——"
"A friend?" Soshyan interrupted the other party immediately.
"Do you have friends in Terra? When did you meet them?"
"Uh, that's right"
Looking at Rozim's hesitant look, Soshyan knew it was definitely not something. Good thing, that friend's identity must not be simple.
“Be honest with me!”
“She works for the Inquisition, a psyker.”
"Inquisition? Female?"
"Yeah."
"It can't be the follower of the inquisitor from the Maelstrom, right?"
"That's her." ”
Soshiyang shook his head helplessly.
"I understand, what happens next?"
"She has a friend who has been with the Alien Tribunal for many years. She is on an unknown mission and has disappeared somewhere underground on Terra. The Inquisitor's The entourage found her and hoped that she could help determine the location. She immediately used her psychic power to conduct a divination, and then determined that the inquisitor was still alive, but was being hunted by something, so she planned to save people in person. I was afraid that something would happen to her. Well, I just went with him."
"Where did you go?"
"The catacombs under the Eternal City, wow, that place is really deep. It’s extremely big. It’s said to be a cemetery, but it’s been dug out of shape a long time ago. It’s said that the deepest part is tens of thousands of meters long.”
“I’m not asking you what you think, I’m asking how you got this thing. ”
"Oh, I went down at that time, but the situation there was a bit chaotic at that time, especially the place called Hongyue District where we were going. At that time, there were two bottom gangs fighting, one called Blood Father Shining on Me, and the other called The Prince of Darkness will kill you. They are all worthless things, but their scale is quite large, and there are no law enforcers in that place. We can only inquire about the information and determine the possible location of the inquisitor."
< br>"Why would he go to a place like that? And with this name, are you sure he is not a cultist but a gang member?"
"Oh, the cult gang is actually not much different. As for the inquisitor, Sixi Na said, it seems because he investigated clues about Terra's underground genestealer sect."
Soshi Yang frowned.
Terra is the heart of the human empire. It belongs to cultists and gene stealers, which doesn’t sound right.
"There will be gene stealers in Terra?"
"I don't really believe it either."
As he said that, Rozim pointed at the patriarch.
“Until I met these things.”
“What about behind?”
"Back there, there was nothing happening after searching for several days. Scyna and the judge's entourage could only spend some money to buy from the information dealer. We had nothing to do. In the neighborhood where we happened to stay, There is a very famous health and wellness club.”
Soshiyang crossed his arms and looked at the other party with his head tilted.
“You went to visit a prostitute, right?”
“Ahem, this opinion was suggested by Loken.”
Hearing what Rozim said, not far away Loken shook his head quickly.
"Lao Luo, you can't talk nonsense! Who said, 'Hey, I follow a beautiful woman every day but can't touch or kiss me. I'm so angry that I'm going to explode soon. I need to vent my anger quickly' and then led everyone -"
"Shut up! It's obvious that your health care machine is broken and you are obsessed with lust!"
"Okay, okay, I'm not interested in hearing these dirty things from you."
"A man who is obviously full does not know that a man who is hungry is hungry."
Rozim muttered, and Soshyan suddenly stared.
"You talk a lot! Let me explain everything behind honestly!"
