As long as you die, you are invincible, but in 40K

With this thought in mind, he gradually fell into sleep.

However, unlike usual, this time his sleep was not as peaceful as before, but he fell into...

"Wake up, wake up!"

This is, uh, where is it?

Zhang Ge clenched his fist.

He was still wearing the shirt and shorts he wore before going to bed, but the scene in front of him was obviously no longer a bedroom.

What was in front of him was... should this thing be called a desk?

He looked in silence at the small metal table in front of him, which had very obvious imperial characteristics.

On the already small table, various decorations squeeze the available space, and the huge golden double-headed eagle in the center seems to be mocking the existence of the word "efficiency".

As for the books placed on the table and around it, they are even heavier than the other, with wooden edges, gold edges, and human leather edges. Not only do they not match each other, they also create a strong sense of incongruity with the scene.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Ge finally realized what had happened.

He is in a dream.

However, for some reason, he was not in a daze like someone in a dream, but was extremely clear-headed and energetic.

As for the scene around him, if I'm not mistaken, the dream weaver wanted to read his memory to weave a scene, but failed to do so and lacked the materials, so he could only fill it in with what he knew?

Zhang Ge analyzed the current situation and knocked on the desk in front of him.

Well, the feelings and other aspects are quite real. Even in his current state, if you don't feel it carefully, you can't detect the slight difference between it and reality.

Just as he was curiously exploring, a sweet voice came from the side.

"Zhang Ge, get out of class is over. Do you want to go back together?"

The voice is nice, but it doesn't seem to correspond to anyone in real life... Who is it?

Could it be a big purple and black guy?

Zhang Ge turned his head towards the source of the sound.

Damn it, why is it you?

All I saw were parasites clinging to each other, bulging under the school uniform, and weaving a hollow smile on the "head".

ps: Add more x2

Chapter 326: Reality is more absurd than dreams

However, after getting used to it, except for the surprise on my face when I turned my head to see it at the beginning, the feeling of disgust was alleviated a lot.

Since he was temporarily confused about the situation, Zhang Ge just responded politely:

"Alien, can you please go away by yourself? I want to be alone for a while."

What a joke, Zhang Ge would just go all out if he was mad at someone in real life, so would he have to endure it in his dream?

It's true that this thing is quite infatuated in chasing me, but the scene of it blowing out a bunch of human brains is still vivid in my mind. I'd better let it be its processing core.

"You, what did you say? You gave me a gift last night, why today?"

A gift? Was she referring to the transformation?

Hmm...when I think about it carefully, it seems to be true.

Strictly speaking, the other party is originally formless - its original "body" is composed of countless parasites clinging to each other - so clearing out those parasites is likely not killing it, but just killing an insignificant number of creatures controlled by its psychic network.

In other words, it was not that Zhang Ge got it for free, but that he sacrificed a little bit of insects and got the technology from the empire for free. Then he still did what he had been doing, but he just had to accept some instructions from the empire.

Even with regard to the latter, if it had truly intended to cooperate from the beginning, it might not have noticed the difference. Since cooperating, hasn't it already been following the Empire's instructions? It's just been expressed more tactfully.

Thinking about it this way, considering the other party's love-brained level, it seems that it makes sense to understand it as Zhang Ge's cunning gift?

"No, just assume I said something wrong. So? Is this a dream you created?"

As Zhang Ge spoke, he glanced around and found that the overall layout here was indeed in accordance with the specifications of a classroom, with only some slight differences in details.

Wait a moment.

As his brain reacted, he suddenly discovered another unusual place:

There are no windows, or rather, no holes that would allow a view outside the wall.

Is it to reduce the difficulty of rendering?

While thinking about this, the other party's response to the previous sentence also reached my ears:

"What kind of dream is this, Zhang Ge? Are you feeling unwell? Why do you keep saying these things?"

"Then let's try it."

As he spoke, he clasped his hands to his waist.

Well, Ascalon is still there as expected.

So far, Zhang Ge has never felt any resistance from "cutting" when using this thing to chop things. I wonder if this setting will also apply in dreams?

Thinking of this, he stood up, drew out his long sword with a cold glow in the empty classroom where only two people were, and walked step by step towards the wall not far away.

"Why does it have to be like this? Can't we just live here?"

Behind him, the questioning of the 'insect nest' came... For some reason, it didn't intend to take action directly, but just tried to express its anxiety with a series of rapid friction sounds.

However, Zhang Ge had no intention of stopping. He just walked past the obstacles of other tables and chairs and answered casually:

"If I just wanted to live a good life, I would have been able to do it a long time ago. I don't expect you to understand my current thoughts, but if you can live to see the day when my thoughts come true, you will probably thank me."

After a long sentence, the wall was already within reach.

Zhang Ge swung his sword, cutting a clean line across the wall, and a neat triangle appeared on it.

And with a kick, a small piece of wall framed by the lines was kicked out.

A gap appeared.

Through the gap, the outside scene also appeared in front of Zhang Ge.

"Isn't this a dream?"

Outside, countless magnificent whirlpools and countless rolling currents embraced each other, forming an extremely grand and gorgeous picture. However, while it was dazzling, the sight seemed to be able to vaguely capture the most terrifying abyss in the vortex.

This is the subspace.

So the reason why it feels so real to the senses is not because it simulates well, but because... No, it's not necessarily because of the transmission it performs.

It is impossible for a newly born Warp creature to bypass the countermeasures of the Spirit of Vengeance with its own strength.

So, who betrayed me?

Of course, it is not necessarily betrayal in the traditional sense. It is most likely because the goals of "that person" and "the Hive" are the same. They both hope to live in a comfortable environment, rather than walking on the edge of a knife as they do now.

Eh, that's not right.

Why was I overthinking so much? Wasn't this the scene I'd always dreamed of?

The next moment, a high-speed chant of exemption began:

"As an ordinary person, I don't have the confidence to survive independently in the warp, but I also don't want to succumb to the tricks woven by the aliens. Therefore, in order to avoid possible torture, I decided to end my life by suicide."

Having said that, Zhang Ge swung Ascalon's sword again without hesitation, but this time his target was his own neck.

"and many more!"

Same direction, two different voices.

Oh my god, come on, it has come to this point, and there are still some unexpected problems?

"We are willing to confess to you!"

"..."

There is a saying that goes: One's life can only threaten those who care about him. It's okay if it's another person whose identity is unknown, but how could an alien that Zhang Ge has only seen a few times in the "Insect Nest" come along and cause trouble?

If one of the two hadn't spoken, Zhang Ge would have had a reason to continue swinging his sword.

Forget it.

We've already reached the subspace, and it's not easy for an ordinary person like me to die? I'll just consider it as satisfying my curiosity for now.

So, after putting Ascalon back into the scabbard, Zhang Ge turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Well, one is a bug girl, and the other one... I don’t know her?

She was a girl who looked not very old. She was surrounded by several phantoms with similar faces. There was some embarrassment and urgency on her face. However, she was more relieved that she stopped Zhang Ge from rejoicing in time.

However, although she seemed to care about Zhang Ge very much, Zhang Ge could not remember any information related to her. Even though he searched his mind over and over again with doubts, he found nothing in the end.

"you..."

"I, I have no intention of imprisoning or betraying you. I...I just want to find an opportunity to ask you to rescue my brother."

"Your brother?"

What does your brother have to do with me?

"Yes, I don't know if you know him. His name is: Iskandar Khayon."

Chapter 327: Admiring the Emperor's Glowing Groove

Kayang.

This guy was quite well-known, so Zhang Ge naturally knew who he was... But saving him? He had been a member of the Thousand Sons Legion during the Great Crusade, and later joined the Black Legion, rising to a high-ranking position second only to Abaddon. His men had shed countless blood.

So, shouldn't Abaddon be the one to save him? What does it have to do with me, Zhang Ge?

"Why would I want to save a Chaos Wizard?"

Zhang Ge refused bluntly.

However, this refusal caused confusion on the other side:

"Huh? W-What Chaos Wizard?"

"A Chaos Wizard is...wait, do you know what Chaos is?"

She just shook her head blankly.

That's not right. Didn't they say that her memory didn't regress? Why is she behaving like this?

With his thoughts racing, Zhang Ge unraveled Kayang's story... and finally, he caught some clues about her sister.

She is really the sister of that Khayon, not the "machine spirit of the Spirit of Vengeance".

Why do you say that?

Because, in the beginning, after Khayon handed his sister over to the Mechanicus, the Cult did not actually completely revive Khayon's sister, but only kept her body alive. In fact, her personality had been completely replaced by secondary thinking components that relied on an external brain to operate - in other words, it was just an "advanced thinker" built with Khayon's sister as the cornerstone.

Wait a moment.

The moment Zhang Ge thought of the word "thinker", something seemed to suddenly click in his mind.

"...Even if it's just temporary construction, this efficiency is too high."

'...named it the Giant Psychic Meditator - Hive.'

At this moment.

Just like that time.

No wonder the Order of Peace prepared so quickly, it turned out there was already a precedent.

Shaking his head, Zhang Ge responded to Kayang's sister:

"Simply put, he betrayed humanity, a betrayal that lasted for ten thousand years. It's impossible for me to save him."

Sister Khayang probably regressed to the time before she was made into the "Thinker", so she showed this state similar to amnesia.

Its memory should at most end at the time before it was transformed.

"Betrayal? How could he possibly betray humanity... Please, even if that were the case, I want to see him one last time and confirm with him why he did that..."

Zhang Ge stared at the other party and did not respond to the plea immediately, but weighed the pros and cons.

If he really agreed to her, it would mean going to Terra, because Khayon had no idea what was wrong with him. He suddenly ran to the door of the Inquisition on Terra to surrender, and he still firmly believed that Abaddon would really attack Terra to rescue him.
