Chapter 2806 The Trap of the Unpretentious
The Zealots believe that the Emperor's ultimate purpose is to protect humanity in this fragile state by spreading his power among them, and therefore the Zealots do not care about extraordinary individuals; Attempting to find evidence of the Emperor's power spreading across the world through examples of group gifts or psionic powers. This process is considered vague and uncertain. Despite this, they strive to seek out the Emperor's work everywhere and are sometimes called Miracle Chasers. , most of the inquisitors of this faction are psykers.
“I think the Soshiyang Chapter Leader did not come here for no reason.”
Delia murmured to herself, then turned to look There were several Thunderhawks parked not far away, as well as the Space Marines holding bolters, as motionless as statues. Their dark eyepieces seemed to be able to project a formidable gaze.
“I heard that he used extremely clever and superb political methods during the Maelstrom Expedition, even forcing the high lords’ council soldiers such as the Minotaur Chapter to submit. We may have underestimated him.”
"Nothing can shake faith and loyalty! In the name of the throne, we supervise everything and take care of everything!"
Armand made an exciting voice, and then took steps, while his followers stayed In the front yard, there seemed to be a confrontation with the Astartes not far away.
The door of the mansion was open, and the three judges walked directly in. The foyer of the mansion was impressive. The walls on both sides were covered with glass cabinets containing strangely colored Jilan flowers. Among them Some of them are stretching out their buds towards the door.
But beneath the gorgeous exterior, there are more signs of struggle. Glass shards and spilled soil are scattered everywhere, and there are more ominous stains on the carpets and walls.
"Your Majesty, a death has occurred here."
Hannifer suddenly frowned, and a familiar stench came. It was a slightly sweet metallic stench mixed with injured flesh and dried blood. The inquisitors were all familiar with this smell, but he didn't look at it. To the body, there was only a reddish-brown trace along the winding staircase leading to the wall, where a secret door opened, apparently leading to the basement on the first floor.
Delia lowered her waist, raised her hood, revealing her long brown hair, and carefully looked at the blood-stained carpet, and then looked at the smashed cabinet.
“There are no bullet holes, these stains bear no trace of cold-blooded murder, just frenzied violence.”
“Those Astartes, they can tear mortals apart with their bare hands, I There are no followers here. These traces may belong to them. They thought they were being invaded, so they tried to resist."
"But, if this is the case, where did those corpses or their remains go? What happened? More importantly, why did they make such a mess?”
Suddenly, there was a series of rapid, scraping sounds under the floor, and the three Grand Inquisitors immediately stared gloomily at their feet.
And Delia felt even more deeply.
“There is an evil force”
Accompanied by several guards, the three Grand Inquisitors boldly entered the secret door opened on the wall of the main hall and went down the stairs. , fortunately the lighting here seems to be on.
When they came to the underground space, they passed through a passage. At the end of the passage was a hexagonal room. On both sides were eagle dog statues carved out of blue marble. A huge portrait overlooked the entire room. , there is a stern man in a robe, his aquiline features are familiar to all three of them, this is Alexei Koch.
The hexagonal room has six doors, one of which is open, leading to a dimly lit room.
When the three of them walked in, they were immediately shocked by the scene inside.
Surrounding the room are many black shelves, on which are placed more than a dozen weapons with weird shapes and obviously exuding evil auras. The think tanks of the Relic Chapter are assigning risks to these items one by one. A towering warrior Standing in the center of the room were a dozen Astartes. He had a handsome and strong face and was looking at the three of them with his arms crossed and a meaningful smile.
“First meeting, Armand, Hanifer, and Delia are three outstanding Grand Inquisitors. I am Soshyan Alexey, the Chapter Master of the Astral Knights Chapter. "
As he spoke, he turned and looked at Artkus beside him.
"This is Artecus Badan, the Chapter Master of the Relic Chapter." When things happened at this point, Hanifer, who was known for his agility among the three, had already realized that something was wrong, so he said:
“Captain Soshiyang, you are really rare. We have sent you countless letters, are you busy with everything so you have no time to respond?”
"I just arrived at the Scar of Victory from my home planet and took over soon after. I really have a lot of things to do, plus——"
"Soshiyan Chapter Commander."
Armand almost growled and interrupted Soshiyang's words. Such a rude move made Robin behind Soshiyang move the fingers of his hands hanging by his side slightly. Anyone familiar with him knew that this was before the attack. signal, and he only needed 0.2 seconds to complete a beautiful slash and remove the opponent's head from his neck.
But someone held down Robin's shoulders and finally made him give up this move. The inquisitor did not know that he had walked through the door of hell and was still chattering.
He raised his hand and pointed at Artkus.
"The Fire Claws are suspected of murdering Inquisitor Alexei Koch. We need to investigate and interrogate them to find out the truth of the matter, and to further punish this chapter for evading the Atonement Crusade. I hope you can cooperate.”
The veins on Artkus’s forehead were visible to the naked eye. If Soshyan hadn’t been there, he might have killed this mad dog with one shot.
Soshyan just smiled.
“How many people have you murdered in your life?”
“What!”
Armand was like an enraged lion, with only Some of the hairs stood up.
“I am loyal to the throne and the emperor, and I kill all sinners and traitors. What do you mean by that!”
"Oh, so killing sinners and traitors is not considered murder, right?"
"Of course! This is the obligation and responsibility given to us by the Emperor!"
Bang bang bang— —
Soshiyang suddenly applauded, which surprised Armand, and the other two people also frowned.
"Okay, that's the case, of course it is, the traitor does deserve to die."
Then he turned around and waved his hand.
"Then the three of you can see it, right? This is Alexe Koch's secret stronghold. I came here to investigate the case, and the three of them happen to be here, so let's handle it."
"Investigation? What case to investigate."
At this time, Hannifer and Delia had already reacted. They realized that they had fallen into each other's trap, and Delia immediately He opened his mouth and said:
"Please leave this place to us, and those followers——"
