Warhammer Inquisitor

  Chapter 24 Frontiers of Empire: The Shadow Comes

"So what did you find out?" Silver Snake asked, the beauty with silver-gray eyes crossed her legs, her slender thighs were exposed to the faint orange-red light, and the bright blue evening dress was like a bright blue dress. The Milky Way shone like stars, and pieces of shimmering gradient blue turned her figure into a dreamlike form.

Silver Snake is sitting on the bench at the bar. I have to say that Silver Snake is very suitable for wearing this dress. When she wears the dress, you will have no doubt that she is the daughter of a governor, or the duke of an imperial feudal world. daughter.

  The delicate gray-green hair still hangs down on the shoulders, and the small braids hang around the cheeks. Opposite this beauty, Vito behind the bar stands on the table, looking at her with interest with his chin resting on his shoulders.

  Silver Snake sighed lightly, shaking the wine glass, "Have you seen enough? Can you answer the question?"

"No, but of course, I can." Vito said with a smile, and took off the long black trench coat on his body. He hung the trench coat on a hanger on the side, and he wore a shirt under the trench coat, which was very impressive. Surprisingly, since there is no body armor, considering Vito's usual combat style, it seems that there is a little confidence without the body armor.

  Vito returned to the bar, leaned on the counter and twisted his neck. Silver Snake slightly raised his eyebrows and saw the two holsters under Vito's armpit, which were two laser guns.

   "How many guns do you have? Three for each person?" "Honey, you can never have too many weapons. You never know why you might need a second gun."

  Vito poured a glass of wine for Silver Snake, "Your marksmanship is not bad either. The shotgun kills every head. Considering your background, it is very rare."

   "My origin? This is the next nest. People learn to shoot before they learn to walk." "My dear, we are friends by fate. You don't have to lie to me."

  Silver Snake stopped drinking, she looked at Vito with those eyes, those blurred eyes only stared at Vito for a moment, and then continued to drink.

   "Then where do you think I was born?" Silver Snake asked in a melodious voice, while Vito shrugged, picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass, "Go to the nest."

   "Why?" "You always wear a filter mask. That thing is used to filter poisonous gas. I have seen many filter styles when I fought side by side with the Krieger Legion, so I can recognize it at a glance."

   "You only take off your mask in bars because the air here is purified and filtered. Believe me, I've smelled all kinds of gas, and you won't take it off after you go out."

"The reason is also very simple. People born in the upper nest breathe clean air from an early age. Even the lungs of the people in the middle nest grow up from inhaling turbid air and some toxic gases. They can also breathe directly after coming down. At most, they can't breathe. It’s about comfort, not outright suffocation and difficulty breathing.”

Vito said, looking at the half-face filter mask, "You didn't grow up here, but you came down after growing up in the upper nest for a while, and your lungs can't adapt to it even after so many years. The air here."

   While talking, Vito smiled again, and turned sideways to look at the thigh, "Besides, I have never seen a woman with such a good figure in the next nest."

  Silver Snake pushed Vito's head back, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Vito also smiled and hugged his arms, and the two laser guns under his arm shook accordingly.

   "Honey, I'm also an outsider, not even a Victorian, you can tell me your identity, maybe I can help you?" "Help me? I doubt it, dear Vito." "Then try."

  Vito turned over the bar and leaned against Silver Snake. He nodded slightly to indicate that he was ready to listen to the story.

  Silver Snake sighed slightly, shook the wine glass and remained silent for a while, but finally spoke.

"My name is actually Olivia, Olivia Caen Johnson." "Noble surname? Well. If I remember correctly, my dear, the name of the current governor of the galaxy is Reuven Caen Zhuang Mori."

"That's right, he's my uncle. I liked him a lot before he used a coup to kill my parents and was about to kill me." Silver Snake, or Olivia said, crying and laughing, turning his head to look Looking at Vito, "You don't look surprised, dear Vito."

   "Honey, I've seen too many similar things. You see, the empire is huge, and there are always some people who feel that they can do it without notifying the empire."

  Vito said with a smile, turning his head to look at Olivia, "I believe some of my colleagues will react more, but I won't. By the way, the name sounds good." "Thank you."

Olivia said with a moving smile, "You see, I used to grow up in the Governor's Mansion, just like you think, servants, big houses and a decent life, my family has ruled Victoria for many, many generations, although it is not the same as I have nothing to do, anyway, when I grow up, I will just be married off and make a political alliance or something."

   "That alliance must be worthy of your beauty. Do you consider forming an alliance with the high lord of Terra?" "I will take you as a compliment."

"But you see, there is always a clichéd plot in every family like this. Your father's brothers are dissatisfied, so your father inherits the big position, secretly gathers forces, assassinates your father, then kills your whole family, and then you are forced to Fleeing, from the governor's daughter to an exile and bar owner, and going out on dates from time to time to kill people and the like."

Silver Snake waved his fingers and said, quite calmly, "That's why I came here, before my **** uncle killed me too, although I don't know what he will do to me, but it must not be a good thing, so I escaped Alright, come here."

"Wise choice, don't care about it, I don't think your uncle knows where you are, or if you are alive." "Yes, he doesn't know, no one would think that the female owner and bartender of this bar is that O Livia, after all, from the last nest, there are quite a few people who fled because of similar things."

  Vito raised his glass slightly, "So you not only survived in this ghostly place, but also became the hostess and information dealer here? Oh, I guess that story must be very exciting."

   "Indeed, I can write a book, but I can't write it." Olivia said, holding her head and looking at Vito, "So what do you think? After hearing this clichéd story."

  Vito shrugged slightly, folded his arms, "Well, how did your uncle do the coup? He united with the political allies of Shangchao?"

This time it was Silver Snake's turn to shrug her shoulders, and she took a sip of her wine casually, "Some of it, I don't know the rest." "Never thought about revenge?" "Honey, I'm just alone Little girl, I didn’t even know how to survive outside the Governor’s Mansion when I came down, do you think I can count on revenge?”

  Vito laughed jokingly, "It's all right now, you have someone you can rely on."

   "You?" Olivia asked playfully, with a mocking smile on her face, "Who are you who can kill the governor?" "Can the judge do it?"

  The air condensed, and the smile on Olivia's face also disappeared. She sat up and looked at Vito with some shock in her eyes, while the latter smiled wryly, "What's wrong, didn't I guess?"

   "No, I know you are an outsider, but I thought you were just an agent sent by the legal department of the star area, but I didn't expect it." "Yes, judge, I am not joking."

  Vito stood up straight with a smile, and saluted politely, "Allow me to introduce myself again, Order of Religion against Foreigners of the Empire, or as people often say, Vito Constantine, judge of the Tribunal of Aliens."

  Olivia looked at Vito and was silent for a moment, then took a sip of wine, and then turned her head after a while, "How are you, did you come alone?"

"There's an engine oil guy in there, by the way, his name is Omega, from Mars." "Are there any more?" "Well, a battlecruiser, and the crew is adding a captain." "I can see that there are still Yes." "Ah, yes, there are four more Deathwatch Space Marines, four weird ones, is that enough?"

  Olivia sighed, picked up the wine glass and poured herself a glass of wine, then drank it straight and boldly, and then slammed the glass on the table heavily.

  She took a deep breath, "I can see that you are not lying, but you are sure" "Very sure, honey, I swear by my professional quality as a judge, there is definitely something wrong with your uncle."

Vito shook his finger and talked eloquently, "Shangchao is obviously conniving at the problems caused by piety, he probably has something to do with piety, so yes, if there is a problem with piety, I will take him along to solve it .”

"You can remove it, if so." The mechanical voice said, Vito and Olivia looked over together, Omega was coming from the inner room, he stopped in front of the two, and the mechanical eye scanned Olivia again elegant.

"Your injury is recovering smoothly, Miss Silver Snake." "Thank you, Sage Omega." "Very well, Vito, you should learn to call me the same, full name, not octopus." "Well , If you ask what is wrong, I can let it go."

  Omega looked at Olivia, but Vito nodded affirmatively, "Miss Silver Snake, or Olivia, is our ally now, I trust her, tell me."

   "Very well, I combined Mosley's memory and the extracted gene template. After calculation, he has 56.32 genes that match the Tyranids. According to the database deduction, I can basically confirm that he is a Tyranid."

   "Gene Stealer."

  Vito's face with a permanent smile disappeared, and Vito's expression dropped, looking at Omega seriously, "Is there any more?"

"It's not good news. I read his memory. When he was in the space station, he received a Tyranid psychic signal from the void. The space station also observed it. The space station was preparing to send the signal back to the capital, warning and issuing an alarm. At that time, he led the gene stealers in the space station to launch a riot, killed the station master, and destroyed the signal transmission."

"The unsolved case about the corpse has also been confessed. At that time, there was a purebred gene stealer beside him. It was very hungry at the time, so after the surviving gene stealer brought it on the shuttle, he also took most of it with him. Corpses that have not been sucked into the universe, for his consumption."

  Vito turned around and walked a few steps in the bar, but he stopped before taking a few steps, and suddenly turned his head to look at Omega, "Are you sure he received the Tyrann signal from the void?"

   "I'm sure, Inquisitor." "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Olivia asked, and Vito looked at the beauty and was silent for a moment, "Do you know about the Battle of Macragge?" The space bugs fought."

"Honey, they are indeed bugs, but the number of bugs is so large that they can cover the stars, extinguish the sun, and devour all the matter on a planet, leaving only destruction and barrenness wherever they go. Can you imagine a cosmic locust swarm?"

Olivia was stunned, of course she understood what level it was based on her level of education, she looked at Vito with a little astonishment, and the latter sighed, "Yes, the Hive Fleet is here, this group of Tyranid genes Stealers have inhabited this planet for an unknown number of generations, and now, the signal they sent has been received."

   "Then we are now" Vito went up and held her shoulder, the latter looked up at Vito, while the judge turned his head to look at Omega.

   "Did you execute him?" "No, his brain was burned." "Very well, have you seen any useful news?"

Omega nodded slightly, and tilted his head slightly, "I haven't found the exact location of the patriarch, but I can pinpoint the location of the origin of the scarlet that affects spiritual existence." "Is it accurate?" "Data, lack of verification, but I Will be returning to Infinity Frontier as soon as possible for ground scanning with the Aurora instrument."

Vito nodded slightly, and pressed Aurelia's shoulder after a moment of silence, "Let the four of them get ready to attack, be thorough, and leave no one alive, any evidence, blow up there, I will speed up Proceed with the established plan."

  Omega nodded slightly, turned around and prepared to leave, "Inquisitor, should we send an alarm to the Star Zone Command, asking for help?"

  Vito smiled and rubbed his neck, "Rely on those bureaucrats? I doubt it."

  He turned around, looked at Omega's blinking mechanical eye with one hand behind his back, and he glanced at the idyllic look of the past, just like a real judge.

"Send a signal to all surrounding Imperial Fleets, Astral Militia, Astartes Chapters, and all armed forces, I, Vito Constantine, Inquisitor of the Emperor's Chosen Inquisition of the Order of Aliens, by holy In the name of the Emperor, all loyal people are requested to respond to the call and come to the Victoria galaxy to face the upcoming enemy of the Emperor."

   "May the Emperor guide us, over." Vito said, Omega nodded solemnly, at least looking very solemn, and there was a stream of data in his eyes.

   "You have something to say, don't you, Vito." "Of course."

  Vito smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, "Send a message to Star Command and tell them those morons. If they don't come to help, I will issue an extinction order to the entire Victoria galaxy and all surrounding galaxies."

  Olivia stared and stared at Vito dumbfounded. The latter shrugged jokingly, and even Omega let out a weird mechanical laugh.

   "It fits your personality, Vito, I will implement the expected goal as soon as possible, now, goodbye." Omega turned and left without stopping for a moment, like an efficient machine, maybe this word can be removed.

   "Let me reason," Olivia asked, "You want to help me regain the position of governor, and now you have to eliminate the alien traitors inside the planet, and face the coming doomsday disaster."

   Facing Olivia's expression, Vito touched his chin, showing an embarrassing expression, "It seems that the situation is a little complicated."

   "It's just a little complicated." She held her forehead speechlessly, "I just had a little hope of reliving everything, but now I know that the entire galaxy may be gone, which is true."

  Vito smiled slightly, raised two glasses of wine, and handed one of them to Olivia, "The daily life of the empire?"

   She took the wine and smiled helplessly, "Yes."
