Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 525 06.0524: "A Woman Full of Memes"

"Red cable...blue cable...green cable...brown cable..."

Latti reached into the cut guide head and looked at the insulating foreskins of different colors, fiddling with them while talking to herself.

"Father Ratti."

Suddenly, a male voice called her from behind.

Her eyes suddenly opened, and the electric pistol on the prosthetic limb behind her automatically aimed at the intruder. Then she gracefully and calmly crawled out of the guide head and slowly turned her head.

"Oh, it's you, Captain." Seeing that it was Horatio coming in the void suit, Letty smiled slightly and put down the gun with his prosthetic limbs.

"You are so focused on your research that you never really let down your guard."

"Because we have to be on guard against our laboratory being invaded by bad guys at any time. Please forgive me, Captain."

The priestess smiled slightly, then turned around again, half of her body went into the guide head, leaving only her round buttocks wrapped in the two-color holy vestments of Voss exposed. As a male, it was hard not to be attracted by the extreme lines.

Horatio did not hide anything and stood behind her, watching openly.

He was very curious whether there was still natural flesh underneath the 'round and elastic' holy vestments.

Of course, he would definitely not use such boring and low-level interests to interfere with the delicate work involving everyone's lives at this critical moment.

"Can it be dismantled normally?" Horatio asked as he approached.

"There's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

"What's the bad news?"

"This creation does not have the 'machine soul' in our concept. Instead, it has something that crosses the red line that the Mechanicus has expressly prohibited. In other words, I cannot detect its veins with the source power circuit."

"That sounds like trouble. What's the good news?"

"The good news is... I don't need to explore the source circuit. I can find a way to dismantle it just by connecting the wires! Fufufu~"

"Oh, Ms. Ratti, that joke is not funny at this moment."

Horatio also got in, and the two were forced to stick close to each other in this small semi-enclosed space. Horatio could smell the strange fragrance of the nano-aromatherapy on her body through the respirator.

"Of course, I need your help in using this method, Captain." Latti's tone suddenly became serious again.

"Me? I didn't expect the Chief Tech Priest would need help from a layman like me?"

Lati snorted and laughed, with the corners of her mouth raised: "To be precise, I need the help of your iron hand."

The mention of Iron Hands made Horatio alert.

"How to say?"

"Please extend your dendrite and plug it into this slot. The system in this missile is very difficult to reverse engineer. Although I can crack it if I spend enough time, we don't have that time now."

"So, the corpses of the Kroot and the plasma burn marks all over the cabin were caused by you using the XV8 'Crisis' combat suit?"

Lati just kept a forced smile on her face but did not answer his question.

"Then, you also cleared the CCTV surveillance video on the Epic." Horley said in a serious tone as if he was reading a confession.

Letty still didn't answer, still wearing her signature smile.

"I'm considering whether I should hand you over to the Inquisitor, Ms. Letty," Horatio snorted.

"If you have such a plan, you wouldn't come with me and lean your body in here now." Lati did not stop the work in her hands, and smiled calmly.

"After all, without Latti-EB2A1 of Voss, there is still Latti-EB2A2 of Mars, and perhaps Latti-EB2A3 of Huangquan No. . There is no point in discussing life and death with you. We are now 'people in the same boat' in every sense." Horatio turned the joints of his iron hand.

"I'm glad you have such a keen insight, Captain."

"You have so many secrets that I don't know where to start asking. And even if I asked, you wouldn't tell me."

"You will know everything later, Captain. For now, you only need to know that you and I will complement each other and are indispensable to each other, and our mission is to make the 'Human Empire Great Again'.

Now, if you want, you can help me.”

After some consideration, Horatio finally decided to connect the Iron Hand.

After the mechanical synapse was connected, a very strange feeling came from the other side, which was indeed different from the machine soul. Soon, the alert red light slowly changed color and turned into a dark blue light.

"You know some secrets of this Iron Hand."

"of course."

"Before that, there was an Inquisitor who lived for hundreds of years who studied it but didn't make any progress. But you know it." Horatio was referring to Ravenno's grandfather, Old Ravenno, the most outstanding disciple of the legendary Inquisitor Eisenhorn.

"This skill is called 'Machine Soul Affinity'. As you can see, it can make some Machine Souls obey it.

If, as you said, the alien creature in front of us has no machine soul, but still obeys the "machine soul affinity."

Horatio looked at Letty: "What does this mean?"

Lati smiled, turned her head and looked into his blue eyes: "Two possibilities, Captain."

"The first possibility is that we still know too little about machine souls. Perhaps the technology of these aliens has differentiated into an alternative 'machine soul'."

"What about the second one?"

"lie."

Horatio frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning of Lettie's inexplicable emphasis on a word.

"What kind of lies?"

"Perhaps it is not 'machine soul affinity' at all, but some kind of lie that deceives the machine soul, deceives the abomination intelligence, and deceives you."

"..."

"Of course, this is just my wild guess, Captain. After all, you have not authorized me to thoroughly examine your Iron Hand; or to discover that error is even beyond my ability."

Lati shrugged and continued to work on her reverse engineering. After Horatio changed the hostile identification of the built-in artificial intelligence, Lati's progress was obviously much faster. She quickly disassembled the circuit board without damaging the guidance head too much and went deep into the fuse area.

“Your words sound like you’re trying to create panic in me so that I can hand this hand over to you for research as soon as possible.

Perhaps you are not only an excellent engineer and geneticist, but also a master of human psychology."

"Hahaha." Letty laughed heartily.

“Thank you for your compliment and recognition. Your vigilance is really good. I suggest you continue to maintain it and improve your ability to distinguish right from wrong.

Like I said, this is just a guess, and since it is a guess, I should be allowed to list all possible probabilities of this event.

Besides, you wouldn’t believe me if I said I didn’t touch your iron hand, because I made a small mark and change on the inside of your thumb.”

"Yeah, that's what made you stop again."

"To be honest, I encountered some technical difficulties."

"I never thought that Father Lati, who seemed to be omnipotent, would be stumped by technical problems."

"Of course, I am not omniscient and omnipotent. I know this very well. But this is enough to prove that the inner meaning of your Iron Hand is far more complicated than you can imagine. The older something is, the more we should be in awe and vigilance."

The dendrite forceps behind Ratti are ready to cut a blue line.

Horatio used the omen fragment to predict it in advance.

"No! Not this one. This one will activate the 'shoot-to-air self-destruct' program." Horatio pressed Latti's shoulder to stop her.

Letty glanced at Horatio's iron hand on her shoulder and smiled, "So which one is the right one?"

"I don't know either, but... I can tell that there's something wrong with you."

Lati smiled even more brightly: "Then let's try them one by one."

"But you'd better not try and fail more than 5 times." Horatio looked at the dark vision, and after activating the omen fragment, Iron Hand slowly increased one grid of 'corruption', and there were 5 spaces left.

"What if it's more than five times?" Letty looked him in the eyes and made an aggressive attempt.

"Death." Horatio shook his head slightly, his tone unyielding, "We were blown to death, or something worse than death."
