Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 341: The Man in the Bottle
Creatures called Soul-Eating Wasps have taken possession of everything in Coadico, constantly moving as they suck the life out of the psyker, twisting their bodies in a way that looks both twisted and horrifying.

When the Soul-Eating Bee's body twists, it sometimes pauses and sometimes speeds up, just like a "stuck tape".

The actions of this creature alone are completely inconsistent with the real world. Any psychic who sees it, even if they don't know what this thing is called, can realize that it is a warp creature.

"Warp creatures hunt psykers like this."

"They will be attracted into reality, and then hunt down psykers with persistence and behavior that is simply unimaginable to us real creatures, until their predatory desires are completely satisfied."

Qin Xia stood with his hands behind his back, watching the soul-eating bee devour Codiko completely.

"One Soul Devouring Bee will soon attract a swarm of Soul Devouring Bees, and then the entire galaxy will be plagued by bees."

"The soul-eating bees on Prospero almost wiped out the Prospero people. If you can go to Prospero in the future, you will see that people live in cities. Outside the cities are isolated jungles and ancient city ruins. That's because the Prospero people were forced to live in a large city in order to isolate themselves from the soul-eating bees."

After saying that, Qin Xia flicked his fingers to erase the Soul-Eating Bee and Caudico from the real universe, then turned and walked towards Caudico's bedroom.

Koz followed him: "I didn't expect we could kill Kodiko so easily."

"It is indeed easy, but that's because we know all his abilities, and he didn't use ancient technology, and we also know where he is, so it's so easy." Qin Xia said calmly, "If I came here by myself, I probably wouldn't know where Codico would wake up even if I were given another ten years."

Curze nodded in agreement. He thought, perhaps this was the embodiment of what Fulgrim said about Qin Xia formulating strategies based on the characteristics of the enemy. Qin Xia knew a lot and was indeed good at formulating different strategies based on the characteristics of the enemy.

Just like when dealing with orcs, we used the method of building a "super big WAAAGH star" to attract the orcs to gather on a planet.

If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have this idea, and the battle in the Onus sector would definitely be extremely difficult.

"The main credit goes to you." Qin Xia said to Coze, "The ability to predict is a powerful ability, and you are the best among those who possess it. Even the emperor cannot compare to you in terms of predictive ability. As I said, if you don't come this time, I won't be able to find Codico even if I give you ten years."

Koz turned around and looked at Qin Xia as he walked: "You never seem to be stingy with compliments."

"Because I never praise, I just tell the truth." Qin Xia said with a smile.

Koz had a complicated look in his eyes and wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded silently.

The Primarch thought of Qin Xia's words "Even the Emperor cannot beat you in prophecy" and took it as an exaggerated compliment.

In Konrad Curze's eyes, his creator is omnipotent and omniscient. There is nothing the Emperor cannot do, except what he does not want to do.

The two men walked over the body of the Imperial Guard Caudricol while talking, passed through the gate that was constantly stuck with the body of the Imperial Guard Caudricol, and first entered a place similar to a collection room.

There are many display cabinets here, most of which contain Codico's personal belongings.

Qin Xia saw a photo of Codico's childhood in one of the display cases.

It's actually something similar to a photograph.

On it, Kodiko's mother picked up her child from the same stroller as the clone, kissed Kodiko's deformed and huge head, and then looked at the "camera" with a smile on her face.

An ancient device permanently "prints" and preserves that moment, and during this photo-like period of time, the bodies of Kodiko and his mother unconsciously repeat the happiest moments of their lives.

There is also a miniature house placed next to the photo.

In the miniature courtyard where the miniature house is located, under a tree, Codicona's mother, who has remained in her original state thanks to technology but died for some reason, sits on a chair, permanently remaining in the state at the moment of her death.

"This house is not a model." Coz leaned over to observe the display case.

The Primarch's transcendent senses allowed Curze to notice the ageing of the material that made up the courtyard and the house, the breeze that moved constantly, and the leaves that aged with the changing seasons but remained permanently aged.

So Coates believed that this was the real thing, not a small model made by hand by Kodiko for nostalgia.

"That photo... is a never-ending cycle of time, and the two people in it are cloned bodies." Coates pointed at the photo and said, "Apparently the ancients had an advanced technology to replace filming equipment."

"Look at this." Qin Xia walked towards another display case.

Koz also walked over.

When the two were looking at the bottles with several little people in them in the display case, the little people inside also noticed the visitor.

Those Caudicos whose only body outline was the same as Caudico first looked at Qin Xia and Koz with hatred, then noticed that these two people were not Caudicos. They were suddenly dazed for a while, and then looked at them with eyes as if asking for help. At the same time, they immediately rushed to the edge of the bottle and asked for help in the most common language of the human race - kneeling.

"Is this a living person?" Koz immediately squatted down to observe the people in the bottle. He could even see the blood flowing under the surface of their skin and their beating hearts.

Coze couldn't hear what the little people in the bottles were saying, but he could guess that Codico had used some means to make their appearance similar to Codico, and then used a method of miniaturizing real things to make them smaller, and then locked them in one of his containers.

For viewing purposes only.

"We have to find a way to get them out." Koz slammed the display case hard, but it didn't move.

"They are indeed miserable, but maybe they are also bad people, or mediocre people, those who you think are mediocre evil." Qin Xia said.

"But they are ancient people. Maybe they can do something for us." Curze pointed at the little people in the bottle and said, "Besides, you said before that I hate even the banality of evil. It's too extreme."

"Very correct, it seems that you can listen to what others say." Qin Xia nodded, and then walked towards the display case to check if there were any lines or anything. However, the display case existed completely independently, and Qin Xia could not detect it even with his psychic power, because the display case was a pure reality creation, without any subspace technology mixed in.

So Qin Xia went back to the display case, pointed at it, and shook his head.

The people inside collapsed to the ground in pain.

Then a blonde with obvious feminine features cried for a while, then patted other people on the shoulders, said something to other people, helped other people up... and used some methods to encourage other people to find solutions.

Qin Xia watched the blond man take the clothes taken off by his companion, then bite his finger and write some words on them.

It was written in High Gothic letters, but Qin Xia couldn't understand the words and grammar at all.

So Qin Xia pointed to his head, shook his head, then moved his fingers in the air and casually wrote a word in his native language using his psychic power.

This is not to let the other party know what you want to express with a word, but to let the other party know what information they can get from the word at present.

Koz stood nearby and watched in confusion.

Then the original body saw a little black-haired man suddenly take off his clothes, bite his finger and write some ideographic words on it.

Qin Xia didn't recognize those hieroglyphs very well, and he had never even seen some of the strokes that made up the characters, but he came up with a solution.

Koz saw Qin Xia suddenly stand up, then step back, squinting his eyes.

The hieroglyphs written by the little man became less clear in Qin Xia's eyes than before, which allowed him to focus more on observing the outlines.

In the end, I was able to barely figure out the origins of some of the characters, and then guess their meanings based on the sources.

"He said, let's find the switch of the micro reality device. That's what he meant." Qin Xia said to Koz.

"So where is the switch for the micro-reality device, Mr. Crossword Guessing Master?" Koz asked coldly.

Qin Xia shook his head at the little people in the bottle and spread out his hands.

The little people collapsed to the ground again.

The black-haired little man wrote a new sentence on the back of his clothes. He held the clothes in one hand and pressed the shape of an injection on his neck with the other hand. Then he walked awkwardly, as if imitating the process of being transformed into a creature like Caudico by Caudico.

"He asked... us... us to leave... and be careful of Kodiko. That's roughly what he meant. I really can't recognize the other words." Qin Xia translated.

"You still care about us at this time? You wasted the back of your clothes and some blood just to write such a sentence?" Koz said helplessly.

Qin Xia stood up from the display case and said, "I'll try to get them out when my ancient human knowledge expert comes back."

Koz thought that this was the only way, so he walked around the cabin.

Qin Xia looked at the other display cabinets, which were filled with some Codico statues, photos, and other useless things, so he turned and left the cabin.

Koz came out holding a strand of hair: "You said before that you wanted a genetic sample from Kodiko."

"The last hair on Caudico's head is in your hand." Qin Xia took the hair, took a look at it, and put it on his waist. "There must be other genetic samples in this ship that can be used to create Caudico clones, but it will be easier with the hair, so we don't have to look for them."

"Then I should go back first, right?" Curze glanced at the door of the cabin and took a deep breath. "I want to find Angron... Every time I make a prophecy, I feel uncomfortable and the mental pressure is even greater... I don't want to say this in front of Angron. You can tell him after I leave: Coming to Nuceria on the flagship of the 11th Legion is the best decision I have ever made."

Qin Xia looked at Koz.

Koz then added, "Don't tell him this before I leave."

After Koz finished speaking, Qin Xia said, "When you go to see him later, he will sense this thought from your heart, whether I tell him or not."

The Primarch hesitated to speak, thought about it, and realized that it was true.

Curze stopped asking and turned to go home when Qin Xia raised his hand to release the portal on Nu Star. He sighed, "If I had my brother's talent and could see into people's hearts, it would be easy for me to manage Nostramo and the Legion."

"Koz." Qin Xia called out to the Primarch.

Koz stopped as he stepped into the snow and looked back at Qin Xia.

Qin Xia lowered his eyes and raised them again. After brewing a sentence, he smiled and said, "Since you think Angron is your brother, why don't you ask him for help? Whether it's managing the legion or managing Nostramo's affairs, if you ask him for help, he will help you."

Curze was silent for a few seconds, then replied: "The Eighth Legion is the judge of the Empire, representing the final excommunication of traitors, and is a bayonet that must completely belong to the Empire. I don't think the Emperor will allow the Eighth Legion to get too close to the Twelfth Legion and the Thirteenth Legion... Both of you legions have established your own countries, and I think you may face pressure in the future."

Hearing this, Qin Xia smiled and nodded: "You actually have the talent to be a legion leader. If you are willing to manage your legion and your Nostramo, then you can manage them well."

“I didn’t know how to do it before.”

After saying that, Koz slowly turned around and walked into the snow.
