Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor - #675 - Chapter 657 Doomsday Storm: Humans always lie

The mechanical red light is flashing on the dim mechanical surface. Its red light is like the beam of a lighthouse, constantly sweeping over the huge, dirty and sticky mechanical surface. It is a garbage crusher, which is missing here. People working underground are working day and night, disposing of garbage for the citizens above.

The gate rumbled and squeezed inward, throwing the broken remains from the rapidly rotating blade. With the roaring sound, all the surrounding sounds seemed to be suppressed, so that no one could notice that the station People on high platforms.

He looked down at the trash crusher below, its mangled remains being tossed into the fire pit below, where it sank and disappeared in the industrial-strength molten material erupting from within the grid.

“This is really a good place to dispose of things, isn’t it?”, “As you said, Master.” Eva appeared from behind the door wearing a tight leather jacket. She patted away the little bits of debris on her body and they slipped off. Go down, and the grid at your feet falls from both sides of the folded nerve poison blade.

The fire pit was waiting for these things below. Vito looked at her and smiled, and went up to take off the garbage bag on her head. “Next time, I have to take the normal passage. It is a sin to take such a lovely lady with me through the sewer.” .”, “As long as it’s fast enough, Master, we don’t have much time.”

Yes, not much. Although there are many differences between the Assassin’s Parlor and the Inquisition, such as one hiding in the darkness and the other walking under the light, they both inherited the same characteristics of their founders, being decisive in their actions. Extremely fast, coupled with an extremely cruel sentence.

The latter also serves for the sake of speed. The judges believe that if they can be asked out through torture, then there is no need to waste time dragging them to the interrogation room. Just come on the spot. The same is true for them on any issue. , Therefore, those agricultural planets should not survive Macragge tomorrow when the sun sets. The same goes for other things. After dawn, the Hera Conference will be held.

“I’m in a bit of a hurry, so let’s talk next time. Follow me.” Vito said and turned around and walked along the platform. His hands were pressed on the handrails of the iron fence, and he spoke silently with the roar of machinery. go ahead.

The truly silent Eva followed him without saying a word, just like a maid following her master. They crossed the platform and walked to the end not far away. Eva looked at the garbage crusher below and spat out under her mask. Constant breathing, at least, she thought it was.

“Just ask whatever you want. Your breathing is messed up. I know you have something on your mind.” Vito said in front of him without looking back. Eva turned her head back after thinking for a moment. She knew how to talk to her master. Keep your eyes on each other, even if he isn’t looking at you at all.

“Sir, you asked me to send assassins to the palace before, not to spy on the activities of the Imperial Guard, right? But…”, “To spy on the emperor, yes.” Vito said, and the fire pit below erupted at the same time. The blazing fire, the sound of hot fuel igniting in the air, almost drowned out his words, but Eva could hear them clearly.

The female assassin wore a mask and couldn’t see her face underneath, but the firelight shone on her mask, causing the shadow to cover half of her face. “Sir, I thought you and him…”

“Brothers? Yes, Eva, we are brothers, at least I think we are.” Vito stopped at the end, he turned and opened the door of the workshop, and when he turned around, his whole face flashed Under the firelight, only the eyebrows and eyes were hidden in the darkness, “But brothers don’t always agree on everything. They can quarrel, fight, and even worse.”

Vito walked in, and the long shadow drawn by the door in the flames briefly blocked his body. Eva followed in, watching Vito at the top of the stairs as he walked down step by step. into the darkness.

Eva followed and walked down the narrow underground pipe stairs. There was no light here, only the deepest darkness shrouded her. The sound of fire wind and garbage crusher gradually disappeared behind. She walked along As I walked up the stairs, a bright light came from ahead.

The light was not actually bright, but in an absolutely dark environment, it still seemed to shine brightly. Eva walked down and looked at Vito, who was standing in front of the next staircase. He turned to look at Eva, He raised his head to indicate that she could continue to ask if she wanted to.

“My lord, there is something I don’t understand. Why do you want to investigate the emperor’s behavior? Do you…” Eva asked in a low voice, but she was sure that Vito could hear clearly. This is an absolutely silent place, any sound, will be expanded exponentially.

Vito did not answer her, but snorted and walked down the steps. Eva followed him and walked with him through the second step. Below was a narrow road, and beside it was the flowing sewer sewage. of water canals.

Vito rolled over and landed in the water. After landing in the water, he raised his hand to signal Eva. The latter turned over without thinking. Although she was a woman, she was not a high-class woman, not even a low-class or ordinary woman.

So Vito didn’t help him. After he saw Eva jump down, he stepped on the sewage and walked down the channel. Eva followed behind. The sound of water echoed in their ears, just like what he said before. Yes, any sound here will be played very loudly, so when Vito suddenly spoke, the words were immediately heard.

“Do you remember what I told you? Human beings are always lying. When they open their mouths, they lie. If they don’t speak, they are thinking lies in their hearts, and even deceive themselves.”

Vito said, walking in front without looking back. There was only the sound of dripping water around him, as calm observers, and Eva, and he continued, “This is what a friend of mine told me. My female friend, she is right, I have known it for a long time, but in our industry, people are either silent or lying. Sometimes, they even lie to themselves. “

“Have you believed in him?”, “Yes, I have believed it, really believed it, we all have believed it.”, “What now?” Eva asked, Vito stopped, he raised his head and looked He touched the top of the sewer pipe, where drops of water were dripping, causing ripples on the surface of the water.

“I still want to believe him. I have believed in him all my life. I am already old. Old people don’t like to doubt what they believe in their whole life.” Vito said, stepped on the curb and jumped up the steps to the side, standing on the wall. I started to fumble, “When Horus came to me, he told me that he was deceiving everyone. I felt that he was lying. He said that he wanted to abandon everyone and become a god for his own selfish gain. I didn’t believe it. He had no selfish motives. ”

As he spoke, he seemed to have found the thing, and then he broke it off violently, and the wall on the side slowly slid back, “Many people have told me that he is not what he looks like, but I don’t believe it. ”

Eva followed, jumped behind the open door, and followed Vito through the narrow, dark gap. He passed in front and entered a vast open space. Eva followed. , looking around the wide underground space, countless pillars stand here, supporting the sky and the earth.

They gradually disappeared into the darkness all around, extending towards distant and invisible places, until they disappeared at the limit of the field of vision of the assassin’s mask night vision device. How big is this place? Eva looked around. She was not a psychic, but she felt that there seemed to be something abnormal in the space here.

The darkness and the ground grow almost endlessly, reaching the end of the earth. Or should I ask, is there really an end here? But Vito started walking toward the darkness.

“I believed in him. Really, I have believed in not many things in my life. He was one of the few. He could even remove one of them. Even when I finally found out, he borrowed those things that he promised me he would not use. “

“Why? Sir.” Eva asked softly, and Vito smiled, “Because he promised me one thing, only one thing. As long as he still does it, I can still lie to myself in my heart. I believe he is doing the right thing.”

Eva fell silent. She followed Vito through the stone pillars. The man walked in front, his figure blurred in the darkness. After a moment, Eva asked in a low voice, “What is it? Sir.”

“Protect all mankind.”, “Didn’t he fulfill this promise? Without him, without him and his light, mankind would have disappeared into the endless night.”, “Child, sometimes, I I really wish I could be like you, knowing nothing and being really happy sometimes.”

As Vito said, the edge of his body was gradually enveloped by a circle of light. Eva’s eyes squinted slightly under the mask. Then after Vito stopped, she walked out from him and saw the station in front of her. The thing in the center of the stone pillar is a train, an ancient and obsolete rail train.

It does not belong to the current time and space. The number painted on its body does not belong to the current numbering method. The posters and newspapers stuck on its glass all represent a distant time and space.

Vito looked at the newspapers and the posters of strippers and laughed, “We are indeed from the same era, but he has poor taste. It’s a pity that we met so late, so late, otherwise I would have to Take him to the red light district of the City of Thousand Stars.”

He opened the door of the carriage. The rusty door seemed to have heard the call and woke up from a long sleep. It slowly opened with a creaking sound. Vito bent down and got in, turning on the switch at hand. The lamp came on with a dull hiss.

This is an ancient room that has the functions of laboratory, living and residence, etc. The entire small carriage is filled with workbenches on both sides, with jars placed on them or mounted on the walls. The top was covered with dust. Vito reached out and wiped away the dust, revealing the logo of the Cosmic Eagle underneath.

“Very good, it seems he didn’t run out of energy at that time.” Vito said and knocked on the air pressure gauge on the tube. Eva followed in and looked around everything here, “What is this place? Or should I ask, Who is the owner here?”

“A friend, a very old friend.” Vito said and opened the air valve, then pointed in the direction of Eva, “Turn on the switch. I hope that when he quenched the poison on the spearhead, he left Some.”

Eva turned on the switch, and sure enough, liquid began to emerge from the pipes. Bubbles rolled between them and flowed in a certain direction along the surrounding pipes. Vito raised his hands, and all the switches around him swung. After going down, all the valves were opened, and the whole sleeping train suddenly woke up.

“Sir, what exactly are these things?”, “Things from the secret sect, me and his kind, but they have long since disappeared, and only me and him are left, as well as the knowledge and secrets they possess.” Vito As he spoke, he pulled out the Phoenix Sword from his waist, and his mechanical arm held the hilt of the sword. “When he cleared them away, he told me that what they told was all lies, and the knowledge they had, they were all Scum in cahoots with Chaos.”

“But I saw him. He sacrificed himself to save Walken, gave up his eternal life, and fell into the abyss. So, people… really lie all the time.”

Vito cut his arm, and the blood dripped into the liquid. A reaction began and ended, and the venom called God Killing was born.
