Start with a core cabin

Chapter 1833: Everywhere (Spring is indeed the season for sleeping)

When walking out of the elevator, Duanmu Huai found that the situation was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

Originally, in Duanmu Huai's imagination, the lower nest area should be in chaos at this moment, with the mob and the guards shooting at each other with guns, making for a mess.

But the fact is not so. When Duanmu Huai walked out of the elevator, he found that the noisy fighting sounds had disappeared. It was not because the fighting was over, but because the thick rock wall blocked the sounds. The reason was also very simple, just look at the scene in front of you and it will be very clear.

This is a mine.

Duanmu Huai stood on the platform and looked down. He saw a very ordinary mine in front of him. The mechanical servants were operating tools and digging caves. It seemed that this was no different from what the Mechanicus usually did. However, doing this under the hive was somewhat surprising. Duanmu Huai turned his head and took a look at the elevator buried in the stone wall behind him.

"It looks like we've gone pretty deep."

"Yes, sir. According to instrument detection, we are now about 3,800 meters underground."

"Where in the hive is this?"

"There is no record. There is no record of this area in the official map."

The servoskull controlled by Lumiel searched the records and gave an answer.

“This is an undeveloped area.”

"Haha, I think this place is well developed."

Duanmu Huai sneered. The mine in front of him was obviously not newly developed. It was obviously developed for a while. He didn't know what these oil guys were doing down there. But at least no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a good thing. Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai's mind turned, and then the surging shadow emerged from the shadow like boiling water, turning into a power armor wrapped around Duanmu Huai's body. Then he waved the chainsaw sword and strode towards the stairs.

"Let's go and see what these oil guys are doing."

The mechanical servants working around pretended not to notice the presence of Duanmu Huai and his group. Well, in fact, considering the single-threaded processing mode of these guys, they may not have any response procedures in this regard. It seems that Menmu Satori had killed a lot before, and now he seems to be more or less satisfied, and he doesn't care much about these mechanical servants. The group just walked down the platform and walked into the tunnel.

Everything was normal at first. The dark yellow lights on both sides of the tunnel illuminated the dark depths of the underground. However, as he walked, Duanmu Huai discovered that even the lights could not illuminate the darkness. It was not a heavy shadow. The broken bedrock gradually disappeared, and was replaced by dark, straight stone walls. They gradually replaced the broken rocks and soil and became the only scenery here.

"Mr. Duanmu..."

"Ah, I know."

In fact, after seeing this, Duanmu Huai almost guessed why those oil guys did such a thing.

Sure enough, when he reached the end of the cave, the bright, ghostly green glow replaced the yellow light and became the only scenery here.

Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and stared at the scene in front of him. The dark, black stone-covered tomb was in a mess. From the tools and equipment placed here, it can be seen that this place has been the research room of the oil men for some time. Duanmu Huai raised his head and continued to look inside. Then he saw a rather surprising scene. At the end of the tomb, a group of oil men were standing there, and opposite them was a group of space necron soldiers. Not only that, in front of this group of space necron soldiers, there was also a space necron. At this moment, it seemed to have noticed Duanmu Huai's existence, looked over here, and then looked at the oil men in front of it.

"It looks like we have a new guest."

Hearing the words of the Necromancer, the mechanics turned their heads and looked at Duanmu Huai. Although most of their faces were covered with metal, Duanmu Huai could still feel the surprise and astonishment in the eyes of these mechanics.

"Yo, hello you guys."

Duanmu Huai raised his hand and waved at them.

"I really didn't expect to find such an unexpected discovery in the basement of the shrine. As a tech-priest, I'm quite surprised that you are so close to the aliens. But it's not that surprising, after all..."

Duanmu Huai sneered.

"All Gear Boys are like this, heretics."

"I was surprised to see you here, Inquisitor."

One of the oil guys spoke up.

"Based on our assessment of your actions, we believe there is a 96.5 percent chance that you will die in the shrine."

"Well, that's very well said. Are these your only last words?"

Duanmu Huai tightly gripped the chainsaw sword. Although he did not want this unexpected surprise, he didn't care. Why not attack when the enemy was already in his face?

"Maybe we can talk."

However, the oil man did not shut up, but continued to speak.

“Just as we came to terms with it, perhaps we can come to terms with each other.”

"I want to see what heresy you can come up with."

Duanmu Huai stopped, partly because those Necrons raised their Gauss weapons, and partly because he wanted to figure out what was going on. By the way, those Gauss weapons could easily penetrate the armor of Leman Russ tanks, but for Duanmu Huai, his body could resist them without any problem.

At the same time, Duanmu Huai carefully looked at the Necron tomb in front of him. As an inquisitor, Duanmu Huai was quite familiar with Necron tombs. This was obviously just a small tomb. From the coffins on both sides, it could be seen that this Necron had only about a hundred Necron soldiers at most. In other words, the guy who was so arrogant on the high platform should not be a big shot like the Necron Overlord, but just a small noble.

Well, this explains why it did not dismantle all the gear boys that trespassed into its territory without permission into parts after it woke up.

After all, the strength of the Necrons varies, and this one... is not that good.

Obviously, with this guy's strength, if he is discovered by the Hive, then he will have no way out. Of course, the Necrons can use teleportation to escape, but looking at the appearance of this place...

Duanmu Huai's gaze paused at the corner of the wall next to him, then retracted.

Oh, I see. Because of the landslide, this guy’s portal was buried and he can’t escape even if he wants to.

Pitiful.

“You should be able to understand.”

Just as Duanmu Huai was carefully looking at the situation in front of him, the engine oil man spoke excitedly.

"Look, this great being is so dazzling. Don't you think that their own perfect divinity is a revelation?"

"???"

Divinity?

Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, looking at the metal ribs standing behind them in surprise.

You are not a star god, where does your divinity come from? Is this oil guy mentally handicapped?

"What revelation?"

“The future of mankind!”

At this point, the oil man's voice became louder and louder.

"This is the perfect incarnation of life after all organic defects are eliminated. This is the final form of humanity guided by the teachings of the Omnissiah! Uploading human consciousness to an immortal and perfect body, achieving assimilation with the Omnissiah, can you imagine what that would be like?"

"I can imagine."

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders. After all, the dead silent cemetery in front of him was the most obvious answer.

"So why did you hand out weapons to the mob?"

“It’s just part of the plan.”

The oil man continued.

"Although we, the Iron Screw Body Order, unanimously agree to seek perfection, we also know that this behavior will be regarded as heresy by the world's decadence and conservatism. Therefore, in the event of an accident, we hope to create a high-intensity conflict, which has a high probability of diverting their attention... Especially you, Your Excellency the Inquisitor. And because the governor here is unqualified in ruling the lower population, according to calculations, as long as there are enough weapons and some clever incitement, there is a 97% chance of causing a riot, and there is a nearly 82.3% chance that the riot will succeed in the end. Of course, the Empire will send troops to quell the rebellion later, but by then we will have completed the great sanctification ceremony, and we will prove that our path is correct!"

Hmm, I see…

Duanmuhuai nodded silently.

"So you discovered this Necron tomb by accident..."

"All this is a revelation from the Omnissiah!"

The oil man raised his hands excitedly.

"We have received the gaze of the God of All Machines, who has guided us to awaken the sleeping messenger, and our thirst for knowledge has also touched the incarnation of the Omnissiah!"

The more you talk, the more heretical it becomes.

Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and clenched the chainsaw sword in his hand. However, he had almost guessed what was going on. It was obvious that there were tech priests in this order who were corrupted by the Treacherous Trickster, and then it did not choose to corrupt the entire order immediately, but deliberately guided them to dig and awaken this Necron Tomb...

This kind of roundabout behavior really seems like the style of treacherous believers.

So was this part of the plan? Wasting his time with this?

In that case, then don't waste your time.

"Okay, enough of that nonsense."

Duanmu Huai sighed.

"Go to hell."

Before he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai suddenly jumped up and rushed directly towards the Necron Lord like a fired cannonball!
