Chapter 49 Fake Butcher’s Nails?
Flying vehicles fly in the air.
Qin Xia was lying on the passenger seat, with her head leaning on the seat, closing her eyes and recalling the battle she had just fought, and looking for shortcomings in the battle.
Beside him, a Tarker guard named Brown with the Butcher's Nails drove the vehicle calmly and in an orderly manner, as if he could be integrated with the vehicle.
For a moment, Qin Xia wondered why Brown was still so calm after being hit by the Butcher's Nails, but he was also puzzled for a moment.
There are many people who can remain calm even after wearing the Butcher's Nails. For example, a World Eater warrior named Thorax. This bastard can not only think calmly after wearing the Butcher's Nails, but even knows how to run when he can't defeat him. road instead of seeking death.
Although the Butcher's Nail played by Thorax is a low-end version developed by Apothecary Garland of the World Eaters Legion, it is also outrageous.
Maybe the Brown next to me has similar butcher nails, a low-profile version, or simply a fake.
Brown also occasionally observed Qin Xia.
What Qin Xia was carrying was not noticed by Brown. Brown couldn't understand why he was so strong but could sit on a seat designed for ordinary people's bodies like ordinary people, without any inappropriateness at all. Didn't even notice the feeling.
It's not all about the invisibility cloak.
Qin Xia had not received systematic psychic learning and training before and after being shunned by the Gray Knights from White Scar and transformed into a Gray Knight. However, the think tank of White Scar still taught It hurt him a lot.
For example, how to use spiritual energy to make the life of a Space Marine who is very different from ordinary people less abrupt and inconvenient... Use spiritual energy to change the body's adaptability to the environment, such as walking straight into a street Door with a height of two meters.
This is not particularly difficult, especially for a psychic like Qin Xia.
Both of them were silent for a long time, and finally Brown spoke first: "By the way, I thought you would be particularly resistant to cooperating with the head of the Talco family."
Hearing this, Qin Xia was silent and pretended to be very sincere: "My gladiator brothers and sisters can no longer endure the damn rules of fasting days. They also need medicine, and there is someone I care about who needs it." Repair the short limb, so... I will suppress my resistance."
What is hidden under Qin Xia's sincere appearance is not false friendship, such as not caring about the gladiators. .
What he hides is that he is actually looking forward to the opportunity to leave the arena, because he can use this opportunity to do so many things.
"Oh." Brown nodded slightly.
I don’t know if this answer made him feel something was wrong, or if he felt that the atmosphere was too embarrassing, so he touched the "iron hair" hanging down on the back of his head, those cables coming from the butcher's nail in his head.
"Won't this thing make you crazy?" Qin Xia finally couldn't help but ask this question.
“You mean the Butcher’s Nail?” Brown said, “No, it won’t work on me, but it will if it hits someone else. The person implanted with it will become a complete A murderer, because this thing will make the implanted person feel like he is in hell if he does not kill."
Qin Xia suddenly turned his head and stared at Brown: "You..."
Qin Xia recalled. Come up with something.
The Butcher's Nail is not for human use. There is a speculation that this thing is some kind of neural structure implant of the stone man, used to control the stone man.
The so-called stone man is the same as the iron man, which is actually an intelligent machine. The stone man means a synthetic human, not a person made of stone.
"Are you a stone man?" Qin Xia asked tentatively. Brown was confused by the question. He was stunned for a few seconds, and then asked: "You don't know that I am a stone man? I thought you were an alien psyker, so you could tell that I was a stone man, and then I didn't intend to lie." You, you don’t know the result! If I had known it, I would have pretended to be crazy.”
“…”
Qin Xia was stunned for a few seconds.
The Stone Men once served humanity, when humanity was still at its peak.
Before mankind fell into the abyss, what interrupted the prosperity of mankind was the Iron Man rebellion.
The stone men stood on the side of humans during the Iron Man rebellion, but they were also cleared or disappeared after the rebellion was suppressed.
After that, a large-scale subspace storm caused subspace navigation to become completely chaotic and terrifying. Humanity fell into the abyss because it was unable to communicate.
Qin Xia never dreamed that he could find a stone man.
"Can you scan my genes?" Qin Xia suddenly thought, "If I guess correctly, you will find that I am different from other people..."
Qin Xia remembers that she traveled to Forty Thousand When he was young, he still had a physical body, but his soul was contained in a body that seemed to have rejuvenated his youth.
"Of course you can tell, that's why I'm sure you're not a Nucerian." Brown nodded.
"Then...are there any technological treasures waiting for me to unlock?" Qin Xia asked eagerly, "Or, is there an iron man or a stone man like you who can do it because of me? Are you an ancient human and can you help me?"
Brown raised his eyebrows on the left side of his face and scratched the synthetic skull wrapped in the Butcher's Nail: "There shouldn't be any treasures, unless your direct ancestors used genes. Suo left you a legacy. As for helping you, of course we can if we are friends, otherwise... why?”
"I am different from other humans. You can see it in my genes. Today's humans have undergone a lot of genetic modifications, and I have also been modified, but I still carry the genetic samples of original humans." Qin Xia said.
"It is indeed different." Brown was still confused. "If it were 20K now, I would find a way to take you to a scientific research institute in a nearby human colony and help you get a very good labor contract. You make gene copies for them, or go to a university to assist an archeology professor in research..."
"But you have also seen what the human race is like now. Where can I find such a civilization? The place asks you to use them as research samples or to assist archaeological professionals in their research?”
“Now is the era of chaos. Ancient things are either squandered or buried. You have to wait until the peaceful civilization in the future to excavate them? The value of your ancient genes.”
Brown looked at Qin Xia while driving the flying vehicle.
Qin Xia was silent. It is indeed a classic conjecture to think that ancient humans would be offered up as treasures by the Emperor or the Iron Man.
Before asking, Qin Xia did not believe that ancient humans were extremely valuable, but the stone man was nearby and had to ask - as long as he could find a way out of the current predicament, even if the hope was slim, he would Willing to try and certify.
“I still can’t believe I actually met a stone man.” After silence, Qin Xia spoke again. "This is so unexpected... shouldn't you have been extinct a long time ago?"
"Functional extinction, yes." Brown nodded, "But no matter how extinct it is, there will always be a few fish that slip through the net. The Nucerians are so civilized that they didn’t regard me as a potential threat and kill me after the Iron Man rebellion.”
