Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 531 06.0530: ‘Are there any more experts? '

"At that time, it was the head nun of the Holy Rose Sisters who led our medical nun team to the excavation site of the 'Holy Will'. I found the needle marks on the body of the unconscious Vice Admiral Hood."

Sister Arabella's tired eyes were filled with worry: "You know, if Vice Admiral Hood was poisoned long before the explosion, there would be no needle marks when we found him during the search and rescue.

I extracted a sample from his blood and confirmed that it was an unprecedented neurotoxin after research.

This toxin is very special and will cause a very strange brain tissue damage. He may not wake up again, but it will not reach the level of being declared dead."

"In other words...someone did something to avoid being discovered, so that he would not be killed and would never wake up."

"I think so. This is our current top-secret discovery, because we have not yet locked in on the suspicious person. If we don't make a move without being sure, we may never find a way to wake up Vice Admiral Alexander Hood."

"Well...I thought of a possibility." Horatio's eyes turned around.

Although there was no clear evidence, he recalled a small detail.

The first mission he carried out was the plague ship incident of the ‘Void Alert’.

It is difficult not to link the neurotoxin with the inexplicable actions of the Death Guard around the Abyss Port at that time.

Moreover, he also seized the nanoworm from the black oil man on the ‘Void Alert’, and the nanoworm was confirmed by Lati to be the initiator of ‘neural control’.

There must be a connection between the several.

Since the black oil man was involved in it before.

From the beginning to the end of the Abyss Port incident, the Mechanicus never showed up, and no relevant clues were found.

Although the initiator on the surface was removed, is there really no problem inside the complicated Mechanicus in Abyss Port?

But this involves the internal affairs of the Mechanicus.

This mysterious and closed organization is very wary of outsiders, and it is extremely difficult to gain insight.

Hmm... Black Mechanicus...

At that time, the excavation site of Vice Admiral Hood was mainly handled by the Mechanicus, and the first to detect vital signs were also the technical priests.

Then, the Holy Rose Sisters arrived.

If Vice Admiral Hood was to be injected with neurotoxin, only those who had contact with him before the Holy Rose Sisters arrived could do it.

And the technical priests had many prosthetic limbs and equipment, and it was normal for the biological sage to carry medical equipment such as syringes.

[No wonder Lati always maintained a sense of mystery and always did something secretly. Could it be that she knew that there were enemies hiding around her? ]

The reason why they were so urgent was obviously that Vice Admiral Alexander Hood, who served as the military intelligence commander, had discovered some extremely fatal information to them.

Horatio knew very well that after the Abyss Port incident, if this matter wanted to be resolved, either wait for these guys hiding in the dark to show their feet again, or find a way to wake up Vice Admiral Hood and force them to show up with the countdown for death.

These guys couldn't just keep Vice Admiral Hood silent forever. This was a step in the plan, not the goal.

Horatio judged that these enemies in the dark were also recovering now. They had just suffered a heavy blow in the Abyss Port Incident. They were beaten to death by three companies of the Space Marines' First Regiment, as well as himself and the Inquisitor. It was impossible for them to have the spare energy to start a rebellion so soon.

In other words, there was still relatively sufficient time to improve himself, to improve his authority and power, so that when they showed their flaws next time and wanted to threaten the fleet, he could strike them hard and completely crush these scum.

Well, the situation is becoming more and more interesting...

"Thank you, Sister Arabella. It seems that we will have a lot of things to do after returning to Abyss Harbor. These accounts must be settled one by one with the enemies of the Emperor. Otherwise, it will be like a thorn in the side for the Gothic Fleet. I don't know when the threat will come back again."

"As you wish, Captain, you are a certified saint of the Sisters. As long as you give an order, the Holy Rose Armed Sisters will go through fire and water for you to implement justice."

"I am so grateful. However, Sister Arabella, you look... very tired, as if I have been involved in the Far Star You haven't had a good rest since the expedition."

"It's a big responsibility, Captain."

She smiled bitterly on her pale face, which was in sharp contrast to the dark circles under her eyelids: "In the year after you set sail, I went to three war zones and saw many desperate scenes. The call of Diana Court Officer when she encountered nightmares would also arouse those unpleasant memories in my heart that made me tremble. "

"Still smoking?" Seeing that Sister Arabella was getting more and more depressed, Horatio said in a joking tone to cheer up, and then opened a pack of "Huabiao Cigarettes" placed on the cabinet by the Aurora Chamber of Commerce and took it in his hand.

"Take a Huazi, help yourself take a deep breath and clear your mood. We finally have time to have a good chat.

Before, I said I would take you to relax after the battle of Tiannu Church, but we were too busy and didn't fulfill our agreement until today, but fortunately we finally have some time to rest well. "He raised the corner of his mouth, raised his index finger and tapped the cigarette box, shook out a cigarette from it, and handed it to the nun.

"Thank you. Actually, I haven't touched a cigarette for two years. Or to be more precise, I smoke every day, but the cigarette I smoke is gunpowder."

Horatio picked up the flint lighter and lit it for the nun.

She took a deep puff, and most of the cigarette was burned. Then she didn't go into her lungs, but just took a deep breath and exhaled at a steady speed.

The stimulating substances inside finally relaxed her frown a little.

Horatio also knocked out a cigarette from the inside, held it in his mouth, and lit it.

Leaning against the exquisitely carved wooden guardrail of the circular balcony outside the Phoenix Building, watching the sunset almost falling into the lake, with only the afterglow, he took a deep breath in a trance, and then exhaled the smoke.

"Each of us has done our best, just hoping that the future will be better." His brows did not relax because of his breathing, but became more solemn: "But the dangers of the future are getting closer."

When he thought that there was only so much time left before Abaddon's 13th Black Crusade, the more he thought about it, the more he would fall into the suffocation brought by the huge pressure.

"Believe firmly, Captain."

The nun slowly stood up and walked to Horatio's side, with golden light shining in the palm of her silver armor.

It was the power of faith that filled and surged, and Horatio felt particularly peaceful in his heart.

[Live well in the present! Prepare for the future!] He thought.

"Maybe it's a little cold outside. It's really cold up there. Let's go inside." He let out a breath and smiled as he took Arabella into the house.

"Do you know what to eat in Aurora on a cold day?"
