Warhammer Inquisitor

Chapter 390 The Road to Expedition: The Promised Land

The dark green mist lingers in every corner of the world, turbid and thick, just like the ocean world of the empire, the entire planet is an endless vast sea, but here it is composed of fog.

The shadows of towering lonely mountains stand behind the turbid fog, like silent giants standing on the ground. They are scattered across the planet, raising their heads and looking up at what is obscured by the thick atmosphere. Starry night sky.

Endless forests and barren fields exist at the foot of the mountains. The dense canopy of trees is intertwined with the barren dark green desert. In this sunless world, the mountains and the earth have turned into a sick picture. , this whole world seems to be terminally ill, it is full of disease, and it is already on the verge of dying.

In the eyes of the empire, such a world is a proper world of death. A place where only lunatics would venture to eat people without spitting bones. There are not many such worlds of death in the galaxy, poisonous fog, active volcanoes, Or a place of death forever shrouded in deadly radiation and the workings of the celestial bodies.

This kind of world is not uncommon in the empire. Most of them are uninhabited no-man’s land, or there are only one or two lonely observation posts, guarded by as few as a dozen or as many as hundreds of astral armies. They are far away from civilization. on the edge of the dark starry border, watching alone.

But this kind of world is very common in the empire, but it is not normal in the network, because there are no naturally formed celestial bodies in the network, all the planets here are man-made, and those who have disappeared in the ancient years The powerful ancient sanctuary created in the past is often filled with a large number of life existences.

Later generations of Eldar and anthropologists believe that those planets are the reservations created by the ancient saints one by one, as the seeds of life that will be hated and destroyed by the Necrons and their masters, the Star Gods, in the tragic battle of heaven. Save it and keep it in the network that the star gods and the undead cannot reach. When the war is extinguished and the universe is at peace, the ancient sage will re-spread the seeds of life saved here back into the galaxy.

Therefore, most of the planets in these nets are garden worlds full of vitality. The ancient sages carefully cultivated them and created their own unique shelters for each civilization. But obviously, this planet is completely the opposite of this.

This is a pure place of death, which has nothing to do with the word life. Even if there is, then the vitality here has died, leaving only a terminally ill body and a sick corpse.

During the Great Fall, the power of the four gods poured into these worlds through the cracks in the webs torn open by Slaanesh, and they transformed and corrupted these former life sanctuaries according to their own wishes, turning them into the evil gods themselves. The projection of the will, no matter how beautiful these worlds used to be, it is only a distant story. Now, what remains here are only lamentations and sorrows, just like their former owners, who inherited the ancient sage's mantle and walked towards The same as the dead Eldar.

It's hard to believe that anyone would return to this dead planet today, under the dying Pleiades without a sun, but there are always exceptions, and here too.

A pulsating light flickered in the turbid atmosphere. The flash came out from the depths of the fog, just like a fish swimming from the deep sea to the surface. After all, the light quickly filled the thick fog in the sky. , drilled out of it after the light was instantly enhanced.

It was a black shuttle, a slender, obsidian-like smooth spacecraft. The biggest difference between it and the common shuttle is that its propulsion method is not by flame, but by the two sides of the fuselage. On the inner side of the wing, a flashing sphere is suspended in the circular ring that is opened.

The sphere spun rapidly on the inside of the wing, releasing a dazzling white light that shone in the air like a shard cast by the dying sun outside the dying planet.

The shuttle flies down quickly from the clouds and fog, it swiftly detours in front of a towering bare mountain, and slides down to the side while sliding out. The entire fuselage is stable and flat. The fog on both sides was lifted, and it flew towards the forest at the foot of the mountain.

In this strange world composed of strange plants, the tentacle-like plant is attached to the tree that looks like a cuticle structure, and it bends and moves its slender body, as if trying to grab something in the mist. of.

Suddenly the calm tentacles began to twitch, and it tilted to one side with a gust of wind, and the surrounding smoke also began to turbulently, and they spread out quickly to make room for the slender black spaceship that fell from the sky. out an empty space.

The flat shuttle, which was as smooth as a black diamond as a whole, whistled from the air and landed to the ground. The anti-gravity spheres suspended in the center of the ring on both sides created a strong recoil under it to slow it down. It landed slowly, and fell to the ground like a drop of water that melted into the sea in the diffuse smoke.

The landing gear of the shuttle was placed on the ground full of strange plants. With the crisp echo of the landing gear, the non-reflective single-sided spherical cockpit glass slowly lifted, and the dark cockpit beneath it In the middle, a figure stood up from it, and then jumped out of the cockpit.

The spaceship behind him emits a hazy light, shining on him, and the flickering white light illuminates Victor's face in the rings on both sides of the high-speed rotating anti-gravity sphere. He stands there. Under the light, I looked around at a quiet woodland around me.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly on the side of the hull of the shuttle. As the entire shuttle stopped quickly with his fingers, the rotating anti-gravity sphere began to fall silent, and the flickering light gradually dimmed. In the mist that spread up, it was gradually engulfed below.

Victor didn't care about the weird smoke. He got up and walked forward. There was neither hesitation nor ignorance in his eyes. He knew where he was going, and he came here for a purpose.

The silent woodland on both sides passed by Victor's side, and the thick smoke filled it, covering everything a few steps away, and everything there was completely covered by the smoke like a veil, only the other side could be seen. Zhou's swaying shadows are human-like and inhuman swaying shadows.

They swayed all around, as if there were indeed people hiding around, hiding behind the clouds and following you with their empty eyes staring at your back, making you feel involuntarily behind A chill on the back.

The ethereal and strange sounds come from far away, sometimes far away, sometimes as if they are close to your ears, you will feel as if something is following behind you, and there are disturbing bursts of footsteps from the woods. .

It was the sound of branches breaking, the sound of objects passing through the bushes, Victor looked at the source of the sound from the corner of his eye, and the dead leaves and branches were indeed smashed under his feet, and the sound echoed in the smoke, It seemed to come back, but Victor knew that the sound was not of his own making.

He saw shadows in the smoke, a moving shadow on the ground, and more than one, behind the trees around them, and behind the shadows there was a disturbing commotion.

It was the sound of claws and teeth, it was a low roar disguised as a distant ethereal echo, those creatures advancing with them, observing themselves, and looking for an opportunity to attack.

Victor walked calmly, as if they were utterly insignificant and meaningless, walking across the woodland, through the thick vines between the trees, through the ditches visible between the woodlands, over patches of cloth The strange rocky beach full of holes and rocks, he walked for a long time, it seems that time is meaningless here, in this dim world, as if everything is eternal.

This may be a good thing. It made it easy for Victor to find it. He walked out from the edge of the smoky forest, stepped through the smoke, and walked onto this rocky glade. He looked around. Against the tall boulders around them, they leaned against each other, as if to form a strange association position.

Victor listened to the commotion of Sasha behind him. Those things were still following him. They were walking on the edge of the boulder, getting closer and closer. The claws rubbed against the rocky ground of Stonehenge. Victor's back was getting closer and closer, and he could almost feel the cold breath.

With the sound of the claws rubbing, Victor's hand slowly raised, and a little bit pressed against the holster he was wearing on his waist. He turned his back to the approaching shadow, and his palm was ready.

The tearing gun was slowly pulled from the holster, and the sound of the slashing close behind him gradually got closer and closer, almost blending together. Victor frowned slightly, and put his finger on the trigger, ready to let that The light background sound turns into a manic singing.

But just as the music was about to start, a burst of thunder shattered the thin curtain of the movement, followed by a golden lightning bolt into the stage. Victor's face was illuminated by the golden light, and he lifted the He looked up at the countless lightning flashes that suddenly lit up above his head. The golden flashes penetrated the thick fog and shot towards the earth from under the sky.

One of the lightning strikes behind Victor, the bursting electric light instantly illuminated the surrounding forest, and also illuminated the faces of the beasts hiding behind the thick fog. They raised their heavy heads, Looking up at the lightning that illuminates the night sky with brow holes and eyeball eyes.

The sound of thunder sounded again, and the sound was like a warning, a warning sound of hunters beating steel in the forest. Those beasts turned and fled, and quickly jumped into the deepest part of the woodland in the continuous lightning behind them and escaped. The radiance of that light.

Victor turned his head and glanced at the fearful beast behind him with a peripheral vision. It arched its body and slowly backed away. Fear appeared in its grinning mouth. After a flash of lightning, it completely collapsed and turned and fluttered. fled to the end of the forest.

Lightning instantly illuminated Victor's side. He slowly turned his head to look at the huge stone monument standing in the center of the stone formation. He looked up and stood on it. Lightning kept falling behind him, and the outline of his body was illuminated by the sound of thunder. and faces.

"Should we meet somewhere else next time, say, a nightclub in Comoros?"
