Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 30 Ghost Agent
Norris headed towards the foundry under the strict guard of a group of soldiers.

Gao Yi and two Rangers walked in front. Norris was apprehensive. He didn't know what Gao Yi's so-called choice was...

He looked at the soldiers around him, whose guns never left his body.

And the way he looked at him was like looking at a monster.

As he got closer to the foundry, he saw many of those high-ranking priests, as well as mechanical servants whose brains had been removed and had no consciousness of their own.

"You're not going to transform me into a servitor, are you?"

Looking at those terrifying mechanical servants, Norris couldn't help but tremble.

"Pavian, suspend the production of a barracks. I'm useful!"

"I'll do it right away!"

"Everyone else, get out!"

As everyone around them left the foundry, only Gao Yi and Norris were left in the room.

Looking at the huge mechanical creation in front of him, Norris further confirmed his previous guess. Even the three barracks on the side were spitting out CMC combat uniforms?

"You...you want to transform me into a servitor?"

"Mechanical Servant? Why would I turn you into something like that?"

"Then what exactly are you going to do to me..."

“What you have to do is walk into this building!”

"Walk...walk in?"

Norris looked at another barracks nearby. It was even spewing out CMC combat uniforms. Was this really a place people could enter? Could this Rogue Trader also be a heretic?

"Come on, Norris, accept the unknown? Or accept death?"

Listening to Gao Yi's words, Norris knew that he had no choice. If he refused, he would probably be killed. He could only choose to take a gamble.

"God Emperor, please bless me." But what's the point of asking for help at the last minute when he doesn't believe in God Emperor in the first place?

The gate of the barracks was pitch black, like a black hole.

Norris swallowed his saliva, then he roared and walked into the gate of the barracks, and the barracks swallowed Norris in an instant.

[Detected a psychic talent chosen, psychic level P8, no abnormal energy from other high-level life forms detected, meeting the requirements.]

Will Ghost Agents be produced?

"Other high-level life forms?" Gao Yi didn't fully understand this sentence yet, and he chose to produce with doubts.

This time the whole process took unexpectedly long. One hour, two hours, three hours, a total of 24 hours of waiting. During the process, Weil asked several times if there was any problem and wanted to come in to take a look, but was rejected by Gao Yi.

But when the last second of 24 hours passed.

Norris, looking completely refreshed, strode out of the barracks.

This time, what came out was not a set of equipment, but a living person.

Gao Yi seemed to have guessed something. Why was a psychic needed? Why was there no abnormal energy from other high-level energy life forms? Those psychics who believed in the Four Gods and were given power by the Four Gods could not be converted. If that was the case, then wouldn't those who believed in the Divine Emperor be unable to be converted either?!

Although it was very uncomfortable and blocked Gao Yi's idea of ​​catching those corrupted psychics, it didn't seem very difficult. After all, the human population base was there, and there were quite a few illegal psychics. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough for the Divine Emperor to burn for two days. He could always find them if he wanted to.

"Norris?" "Captain Gao Yi?!"

Norris at this moment can be said to be completely different from his previous self. Several thin nerve tubes are connected to the back of his head. This is a special psychic inhibitor that allows Norris to control and use his psychic power more freely, and at the same time makes him obey Gao Yi's orders.

The worn-out clothes had now turned into a set of close-fitting combat uniforms made of a special nano-polymer material that could react with psychic energy.

This material can increase the user's strength and endurance, and can also provide protection against high temperatures, severe cold, viruses, and nuclear radiation. The most important thing is that it can make ghosts invisible through psychic catalysis.

However, the more Gao Yi looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong. It seemed like there were a lot more things on this combat uniform.

"Norris, do you know how to use this combat suit?"

“I know it seems like there’s a lot more knowledge in my head.”

"Show me!"

As Norris activated his psychic combat suit, it began to take effect, and Norris disappeared in front of Gao Yi the next second.

"Completely invisible? I can't see anything at all!" Gao Yi tried to use psychic power to detect, but even with his psychic perception, he could only barely sense it. Norris's own psychic power was actually offsetting Gao Yi's psychic detection.

Norris appeared again, and this time the reactor-like thing on his chest began to work. With a flash, Norris appeared 20 meters away.

"Hunter Blink?! I get it! This Ghost has all the optional equipment from the campaign integrated into one combat uniform?! That's a good deal!"

"But Captain, this teleport has a 5-second cooldown!"

A jet pack similar to the Reaper's is also on the back.

In addition to this combat uniform, Norris also held a C-20A combat shotgun in his hand.

Gao Yi asked Norris to introduce it, and it was exactly as Gao Yi thought. In addition to conventional armor-piercing bullets, there were also EMP bullets that could destroy energy and psychic shields, and locking bullets that could be used to cause mechanical failures.

What excited Gao Yi the most was the psychic light blade on Norris's waist. It was the same monomolecular blade as the one in the Warhammer world, but the difference was that it could be strengthened by psychic energy, making it sharper.

"It was really worth the 24-hour wait!"

This made Gao Yi want to see what would happen when the ghost faced the assassins of the Assassin's Court.

If I could find a few more psychics, wouldn't I have my own assassin's court?
"Captain, is this power given to me by you?" Norris felt better than ever at this moment. He thought he was dead, but when he walked in, he felt that he was completely reborn. A lot of knowledge and thoughts of loyalty to Gao Yi flooded into his brain.

He knew that he was no longer the monster that others called him, he was Gao Yi's ghost agent.

"Yes, how do you feel, Norris?"

"It's better than ever! You gave me a new life." Norris knelt on the ground sincerely.

Although Gao Yi did not look for him specifically, it was Gao Yi who pulled Norris out of the refugee camp in the port of call, brought him to the warship, treated his injuries and fed him.

And when his psychic powers awakened and he was treated as a monster by everyone, it was Gao Yi who taught him how to control this power.

They are like his reborn parents.

"Although you have power, you will also bear many heavy responsibilities."

"My Captain, I cannot speak, but your enemies are my enemies. I will be a sword in your hand! I will give my life for you!"

"I accept your allegiance, Norris. From now on, you will be a ghost. I will have Will arrange a separate cabin for you. From now on, your existence will only be known to a limited number of people! I guess there will be a time when you are needed soon."
