Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer
Chapter 19: The Cult Is Approaching
Chapter 19: The Cult Is Approaching
In this world, there are many things that can only be experienced by witnessing them with your own eyes.
Just like Alvin now, he never thought that he was so great, nor did he have any lofty or noble ideals.
As for relying on the identity of a "time traveler" to save the dire situation of the human empire, such "heroic" feats and thoughts have never been considered at all.
Who is he?
A scavenger from the lower nest!
How can a lowly trash like dust save the empire?
Even the Thirteenth Primarch, Robert Guilliman, couldn't do it. What qualifications does a low-nest scavenger like him have to change the shitty "Empire"?
From the beginning to the end, Alvin's idea was very simple, that is to live well, with dignity, and like a human being!
However, the scene before him had a huge impact on his heart!
Hundreds of heads dripping with blood died with their eyes open. In their pale and grey eyes, there remained a desire for life and the pain of being tortured before death. Many of them were not yet underage children.
"But, what can I do?"
Alvin bit his lips tightly, not even realizing that he was bleeding, and subconsciously clenched his fists.
The pain from his nails piercing his skin woke him from his trance. He stared blankly at the hill of skulls, a hint of bitterness on his face.
"I'm sorry, I can't avenge you."
He forced himself not to look at those empty eyes, lowered his head, and seemed to be talking to himself: "The only thing I can do for you is to let the law enforcers of the middle and upper nests know about this."
The scale of the 'Khorne Cult' entrenched in the Lower Nest is unknown, and it has psykers, which is definitely not a problem he can solve.
He was very weak, far too weak to fight against a cult, let alone the cult's 'psychics'.
Therefore, the only way Alvin could think of to deal with the "Khorne Cult" was to let the city law enforcers, planetary defense forces, top nobles, and governors know about it.
Before the situation becomes uncontrollable, we must forcefully wipe out the Khorne cult!
Too urgent
Alvin bit his lips tightly. The time left for him was getting less and less.
Judging from the "sacrifice" ceremony held by the Khorne cult this time, it is conservatively estimated that the scale is likely to be very large, and there is even a high probability that a connection with the "subspace" is being established.
Once the sacrificial ceremony is completed and the Blood God 'Khorne' bestows his blessing, it will no longer be a problem that the planetary defense forces can solve.
Of course, among the Four Chaos Gods, although Khorne is known for his brutality and bellicosity, he does not like to kill the weak.
Acts like slaughtering scavengers and sacrificing their skulls will most likely not attract the attention of Khorne, but of course the possibility cannot be completely ruled out.
This sacrifice failed, but who can guarantee that the next sacrifice will fail?
"We must leak the information as soon as possible." Alvin clenched his fists, his heart filled with anxiety and urgency brought by time.
He cast his eyes upwards, where there were steel pipes everywhere. His expression gradually became firm. "It is impossible for the lower nest to stop the cult. Moreover, the people of the Hammer Gang may have been brainwashed. We must find a way to infiltrate the middle nest. Only in this way can we stop the spread of the cult!"
After taking a deep look at the hill of skulls, Alvin looked away with difficulty and whispered, "I'm sorry, I can't help you, and I dare not help you."
He could have buried the skulls in the ground, but he didn't dare.
The reason is that the risk is too great!
If the cult members returned and discovered that the sacrificial skull was missing, they would quickly realize that their plan had been completely exposed.
Never underestimate the cult's ability to track down people, especially when there are psychics involved. Even if Alvin is careful and hides his tracks, his identity may still be exposed.
By then, what awaits him is the cult's all-out pursuit and killing, and there is no possibility of survival.
As if he was running away in a panic, Alvin could always feel those people's eyes on his back. Hot and scorching!
Alvin walked in silence all the way, carefully hiding his whereabouts. He returned to the 'doghouse', took out a few gold bars, hid them in his arms, quietly changed his clothes, and went directly to the black market.
He wore a simple mask and a loose, tattered robe to conceal his appearance and avoid unnecessary trouble.
The sudden large-scale sacrifices by the Khorne cult completely disrupted Alvin's plans.
Originally, he planned to use conventional means to bribe the law enforcement officers of Zhongzu City, purchase a Zhongzu resident certificate, and then enter Zhongzu openly.
But now, this idea is shattered! Even if you try your best to get a Zhongshen resident certificate, you will have to wait at least half a month.
Moreover, considering the low administrative efficiency of the empire, it is possible that it will be delayed for a year or two.
But the cult doesn't give Alvin that much time, so he has to find another way and use "illegal" means.
Just like in the previous life, many Run people smuggled across the US-Mexico border, there are also such people in the black market of Xiachao who can help you 'smuggle' into Zhongchao.
For the former, buying a resident certificate is a safe bet. Although it may take a long time, there will never be any problems.
But the latter... It is well known how the Americans treat the Run people. Law enforcement officers will only use more cruel means to deal with these low-level scum who have "sneaked" into the Chinese nest.
But Alvin knew very well that what he lacked most now was time, so he could only take the risk of "smuggling" to Zhongshen!
Arriving at the alley at the corner of the black market, he knocked on a metal door and deliberately lowered his voice, saying hoarsely: "I need a way out."
After a while, the iron gate opened a crack, and a bald head poked out and looked him up and down: "What road?"
This is some kind of "secret code". Alvin replied with ease: "Happy Road."
Since they could communicate in jargon, the bald man opened the iron door and made way for him to enter: "Second floor, you should know the rules, right?"
"know."
Alvin handed over the old laser gun in his arms.
Then, the bald man searched him carefully, and after confirming that he had no weapons, he raised his chin slightly and motioned for him to go upstairs from the side.
Walking up to the second floor on the creaking, worn-out wooden boards that were almost covered with patina, Alvin saw at a glance a man with his legs resting on the table, wearing a metal prosthetic limb and smoking a cigarette.
It's him?
Alvin was slightly surprised and recognized the man at a glance. He was the guy who bought his gas mask.
After all, that unique metal prosthesis is rare in the lower nest.
The man held a cigarette between his metal prosthetic arms and blew out a smoke ring in a chic manner: "I remember you, the guy who sold me the gas mask last time."
Alvin's pupils suddenly shrank under the mask, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
He was clearly disguised last time, and he was the same this time. How did the other party find out?
Could it be... Considering a certain possibility, he immediately became alert, and his surging spiritual energy was ready to go like a taut bowstring!
Once the opponent makes any unusual movement, he can crush him into meat paste in the first place!
"Heh, don't be so nervous, kid."
The man seemed to be aware of Alvin's nervousness. He grinned and raised his hand to lift up his long hair that was as loose as instant noodles.
The other half of the face was covered by long hair, and in the left eye socket was a metallic electronic prosthetic eye emitting a scarlet light.
"Did you see it? The metal eye." He pointed at the scarlet eye and stared at Alvin with interest. He said slowly, "Since you are young, I will tell you one more thing. Don't think that you can fool everyone by changing clothes and wearing a mask. Even without this eye, I can still find you."
Realizing that the other party seemed to have no ill intentions, Alvin gradually let down his guard, but his spiritual energy was still maintained around him: "Thank you, I will remember it."
This incident reminded him greatly that he must never underestimate these scums in the lower nest!
"I need to sneak across to Zhongzhen, can you do it?"
Alvin took a deep breath, stopped pretending, and got straight to the point.
"Do you know who I am?"
The man crossed his legs, raised the corner of his mouth, and pointed at his face: "I, Jackal Tucker, can let you in as long as you can pay the price."
I feel that this book title is not very popular, I want to change the title, does anyone have any suggestions? Please ask for help~
