Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 257 Memory Review
Qin Xia didn't find anything wrong.

After doing it again, Qin Xia looked at the doctors in front of him.

"So this is why I was abandoned by my biological parents when I was a child, haha, what am I thinking?"

Qin Xia smiled bitterly.

The doctors were silent.

The bitter smile on Qin Xia's face disappeared, and his expression became serious and cold.

"Is it possible to cure it?" Qin Xia asked.

The young and old doctors looked at each other and responded to Qin Xia's answer with silence again.

When a doctor starts talking about how terrible a disease is, that's fine, but if a doctor remains silent, that's really the end of him.

Qin Xia raised his hand and pointed to the exit of the room: "You can go back now. Whatever my secretary promised you, it can be fulfilled normally."

"Although it cannot be cured, active treatment can at least prolong your life." A young doctor said, "Besides, your company has been researching things that can directly replace the human body. As long as you live one more year, you can increase your chances of waiting for the birth of an artificial heart."

"As for matching heart transplants... we discussed this in a meeting before we came here. Considering your age, lifestyle, and the many hidden diseases that may arise from congenital heart problems... this plan is not very suitable. It has high risks and low hopes."

"You probably can't stand the hassle of having a heart transplant every few years. Plus, you're in the rising stage of your career, and you may not be able to suppress the probability of complications by changing your lifestyle after a heart transplant... In summary, I think a heart transplant based on matching is not a good idea."

Qin Xia didn't say anything, and in the eyes of others he seemed to be just thinking about something.

"Also, I think you have some psychological problems."

Another doctor spoke up.

"It's too big. Psychologically, it's a case of excessive need for living space. No matter what you've been through, it's not normal and it could be a step in the wrong direction."

“So it’s not just the congenital heart problem you’re treating, it’s the psychological issue as well.”

"..."

Qin Xia let these words go in one ear and out the other.

He had been experiencing constant ringing in his ears since a while ago.

After the doctors had finished saying what they needed to say and almost all of them had left, Qin Xia slowly recovered.

When he looked up, there was a doctor standing in front of him.

The doctor looked like an Asian, with a coffee-colored complexion and black hair.

"Who are you?" Qin Xia asked, "This is my memory."

"I am a person just like you." The doctor said, "You only need to remember one thing. It was you who took the initiative to ask me to appear. So stop talking nonsense and continue to recall the truth."

Qin Xia turned his head and looked away.

A moment later, the sleepy employee outside the door came in on a balance bike and said to Qin Xia, "The person you are looking for has been found. He is downstairs."

Qin Xia was stunned for a moment, then quickly put on his clothes, stood up, and rushed out happily.

……

In the living room.

Qin Xia sat on the sofa and the doctor stood behind him.

Opposite them were two other people, who looked like a couple.

The couple had solemn expressions, their heads lowered, and sat on the sofa in silence, not saying a word.

Qin Xia was looking at them, recalling the appearance of the two of them in his memory when he was very young - his memory has always been amazing, he can recall everything as if he were watching from a third person's perspective, no matter how big or small, not a single detail is missing...

Then Qin Xia recalled that after being abandoned by his parents, he wandered on the street and was discovered by a young couple.

The young couple took him back to their rental house, cooked for him, and gave him a bath. Then after a few days... when they couldn't find Qin Xia's home, they sent him to an orphanage in the county town.

Compared to the two young people in my memory, the two people in front of me...

The man had a full beard, was very thin, had calluses on his hands, and looked very handsome.

The woman has gained some weight, but her appearance still shows how beautiful she was when she was young.

Neither of them said a word.

Qin Xia talked incessantly.

"I still remember the meal we had at your house."

"Even the chef who cooks for me now can't make it taste that good, I'm telling the truth."

"..."

When Qin Xia was talking about these past events, the couple would look up and smile from time to time.

A smile of flattery and compliance.

Qin Xia realized something, and after saying one more thing, he swallowed the next words back into his stomach, smiled, and then said: "I'll leave you a phone number...if you have any difficulties..."

The couple then came out of their mental state and looked at the paper that Qin Xia had torn off.

"We are indeed..." The man started to speak.

The woman immediately slapped her husband's thigh and glared at him.

The man shut his mouth, knowing that now was not the time to talk.

Qin Xia finished writing the phone call and handed the paper to the two of them.

The woman quickly took it, folded it and put it in her purse.

……

Everything changes again.

night.

Qin Xia was lying on the rooftop of the welfare home. The doctor was standing on the edge of the roof, looking down at everything below.

The two had just walked out of the dormitory. Because there were too many people in the dormitory and some people were snoring, and it was summer and the heat was unbearable, Qin Xia, who was most afraid of heat, couldn't stay there any longer and had to go to the roof.

But it's not for jumping off here, but for enjoying the coolness and getting a little peace.

"Do you hate them?"

In the evening breeze, the doctor suddenly asked.

"Who do you hate?" Qin Xia asked.

"Everything," the doctor replied. "The people who abandoned you twice, the place where you spent a tormented childhood, your life."

After hearing these words, Qin Xia was in a trance for a long time, looking confused.

Then answer the doctor: "Why should I hate?"

The doctor was silent.

"I've never seen what my biological parents look like, and I don't know what kind of people they are. It makes sense that I hate them."

"Why should I hate the two people who sent me here?"

"They were both very young. They were walking down the street and saw a dirty little kid running around. Then they took the kid home out of kindness. Are they going to raise this kid for the rest of his life?"

"They weren't even married."

Qin Xia continued.

His tone, voice, and all the information contained in his words are different from the him in this memory stage. This is judging from a later perspective.

"I will remember them for the rest of my life for the few days they took care of me. Because at least I knew what it felt like to be cared for, even though the experience was very brief..."

“As for this welfare home.”

"It's the millennium of the 21st century. We've just entered the millennium. You don't know what's going on here, do you?"

"Everything this welfare house provides gives me a headache, but this is all it can offer. Most people here even come here to work voluntarily. They also want to provide better, but they just don't have the money. What can they do?"

"So I can't possibly hate them."

"This memory really tormented me and greatly affected many things in my future..."

Qin Xia said this and lowered his head, thinking.

He continued while thinking.

"But the people and events in this memory have shaped my personality and character."

"For example, there is an aunt here who has had a profound influence on me. She is a tenacious northern woman. From her I learned optimism, cheerfulness, and perseverance. And her corn bran accent."

“Without these people and events, if I was just wandering the streets, I don’t know what kind of person I would have been shaped into.”

After listening to what Qin Xia said, the doctor nodded.

Everything began to dissipate.

Qin Xia was surrounded by golden light. He lowered his head and saw his transformed strong body and the gorgeous yet practical armor.

The doctor also became the emperor.

At this moment, some things emerged in Qin Xia's mind - he communicated with the emperor in his sleep, and then let the emperor experience his memories, so as to completely confirm the identity of the immortal he created.

In order to make these memories more real, Qin Xia asked the emperor to temporarily close his subjective consciousness.

So in that memory, Qin Xia did not realize that the doctor was the emperor.

"I have never seen a psyker as unique as you," said the Emperor. "When a psyker like me wishes to exercise influence over you, it must be done with your own will."

"It's indeed unique." Qin Xia told the truth.

He even made a "limited effort" to observe the Emperor, which meant only taking out a few memories.

Qin Xia's memory of coming to this universe was sealed so that the emperor would not know that he was a time traveler. After all, he wanted the emperor to think that he was immortal.

The identity of an immortal has huge benefits in doing things.

"The 21st century." The Emperor recalled this time in his memory that seemed a little strange. "At that time, I was staying in the desert with a female Eternal friend. We were protecting a relic together... The Europeans had set their sights on that relic."

"By the way, are there any immortals like me who have congenital diseases?" Qin Xia was not very interested in the past events on Earth, because he knew that in this era, everything on Earth has changed to be no different from an alien planet.

Even the name has been changed.

"Malcador has premature graying of hair," the Emperor said calmly. "Orperson and Erda have intermittent episodes of mental illness... They are both among the immortals I know of, and they are born with defects like you."

"So you are the most normal one, right?" Qin Xia thought to himself.

The emperor talked about some more things about the immortals, but Qin Xia didn't listen.

Qin Xia was thinking.

The Emperor of this era has not yet sat on the Golden Throne, but has become a severely schizophrenic sun in the Warp.

So the emperor has some humanity, but not much.

At this time, rationality always takes the high ground.

Perhaps the Emperor wanted to be a philosopher king, a wise monarch who would not make mistakes, but the stronger his psychic talents were, the weaker his talent for ruling was.

It is better to be serious when dealing with such an emperor. Don't be too close, but don't be too far away either.

"Where does the gene seed you use come from?" The emperor turned his head and stared at Qin Xia's body.

"I don't know." Qin Xia replied, "How I became a Space Marine, whose gene seed I used, I don't know anything. At that time, I lived in a daze, tortured by a heart disease, and relied on psychic energy to keep me alive."

Qin Xia did not tell the truth, but he felt that he might change the timeline of this universe, and it was not certain whether the Grey Knight would be born in the future.

Considering the fear expressed by the Eldar prophet before about the disaster that would be caused by people from the distant future traveling to the present... maybe the Emperor also knew about this, so it was even more difficult to explain why he came from the distant future and he himself didn't know why.

It would be better to just make up something without any clear idea.

"I seem to have been captured by someone and then experimented on."

Qin Xia continued.

"The one who captured me is a powerful psyker."

“Very powerful.”

"It's just that people are stupid and seem to be easy to fool."

"He tricked me into joining his business, and then I tricked him into thinking I had joined, and together we were going to do something impossible."

“We fought everywhere.”

Qin Xia said.

"Then this guy's management ability is ridiculously poor. He is also easy to fool and has no brains. So he was overthrown by the generals he trained himself, and I ran away."

After hearing what Qin Xia said, the Emperor began to think about who could possibly obtain the gene seeds.

Gene seeds are not monopolized by him.

The Space Marine program had many people involved from the beginning, including Lady Astartes - a biologist.

There was even a Space Marine with Erda, the first Space Marine.

Plus, the gene-seed exists within the Marines' bodies, where it can mature and be harvested, so if someone were to obtain the gene-seed on the battlefield, and because they have powerful psychic powers, they could preserve the gene-seed and completely possess it, and then implant it into another person... it wouldn't be surprising.

"The stupidity of a ruler is always the most fatal," said the Emperor. "If a ruler cannot make wise and decisive decisions, then everything he has built will only end in destruction."

"Indeed." Qin Xia nodded.

"Also, you seem to have a special grievance against me. Otherwise, how could Angron be trained by you to hate me?" the Emperor added.

"I didn't teach you by example." Qin Xia helplessly spread his hands. "The key point is that you came to Nukeria that day, shining with gold, and made everyone kneel down to you as soon as you came down, which made Angron think you were a slave owner."

The Emperor frowned: "It was not me who made those people kneel down to me. It was the psychic energy I released that indirectly affected them, beyond my subjective control."

"..." Qin Xia was too lazy to say anything else.

The emperor also fell silent.

The two were silent for a long time.

Qin Xia felt that the emperor still did not believe what he said. He would continue to observe the matter and then make a conclusion.

But this is normal, the emperor is too vigilant.

Qin Xia did not want to be friends with the emperor, or to be his superior or subordinate, nor did he want to have a too deep relationship with him. He just wanted the emperor to at least have some way to avoid future catastrophes, or to make decisive judgments at critical moments, just like the emperor thought he was a decisive person...

For example, when a future Primarch who has the potential to directly destroy humanity with psychic powers is truly hopeless, an order is given to eliminate him in advance.

"So be it." The Emperor walked off into the distance. "We shall speak again next time. We shall surely meet again, as shall Angron and his brothers."

Qin Xia glanced at the emperor's back, woke up on the carpet in the library, sat up straight and began to think.
