Warhammer: My buddy has too many secrets!

Severine was furious at the time, feeling that this guy had insulted her and her mentor.

She intended to execute the demonic host on the spot, but what awaited her was her mentor's own troops descending from the sky and taking over the entire situation. As a student, she was completely unaware of what happened next.

No matter how she asked, all that awaited her was her mentor's aged face, which was beginning to lose its respectability; Severin ultimately received no answers.

All the young judge knew was that her mentor had stayed on that planet for about three days before rushing off to another place almost frantically.

Severin then received news that her mentor had personally issued an extermination order against a planet, without any hesitation or doubt, annihilating billions of people on that planet under a single whirlwind torpedo.

Thus, no matter how unbelievable it seemed, Severine understood that what her teacher was hiding from her was definitely related to the devil.

The fact that his most respected teacher was involved with the Chaos Demon was almost destroying Severin's worldview, causing him to lose sleep and appetite recently.

It wasn't until recently that Severine gradually came to accept that her teacher might be the kind of heretic she hated most.

From that day on, Severine was always fully armed when facing her teacher. From that day on, she began to be tormented by nightmares. Among countless pale blue feathers, she saw her teacher making a deal with the devil, killing countless citizens of the empire.

This caused her to wake up from nightmares countless times, each time drenched in cold sweat. She was fully aware of the power and influence of her teacher, and from then on, even when she slept, she would place a hot melt gun under her pillow.

If there were even the slightest evidence that her teacher was an enemy of the Empire, she would absolutely not hesitate to use a plasma torch to blast a hole in his back.

Her mind was filled with endless doubts. Even though her teacher continued to teach her with all his heart, Severine would always carefully consider and doubt everything he did.

And this time, the mission to investigate the Lamenters' Warband was no exception.

"If the investigation is successful, the warband will be restored to its legal status and returned to the Imperial order. However, if even a trace of chaos or betrayal is found, I will personally order the purification of the entire warship, turning you all to ashes."

"Severin said calmly."

She arrived at the Wailers' Battle Group after learning about the relevant information.

When she learned that the other party was the source of the curse Jianjun had committed that was not recorded in much detail, alarm bells were already ringing in her heart.

During that army formation, the Mechanicus altered some aspects of the Geneseed, causing almost half of the chapters to go berserk and mutate, with some even directly siding with the Chaos faction! However, the Weeping Ones, in this army formation, appeared to show almost no signs of mutation!

In this state of madness, where only the weeping remain sober, the very act of madness is itself a restless element!

Moreover, Severin discovered something unusual: the records showed that the Weeping Legion had suffered heavy casualties in a difficult defensive battle.

After being swept into the subspace, they should have had almost no chance of survival, but now they are back, and what is surprising is that these mourners are in surprisingly good condition.

For some reason, she instinctively sensed that this Lamenters' Legion had probably gone through something. But now, facing this group of Imperial angels before her, she straightened her back slightly, stepped forward, and raised her hand in a clear and solemn voice:

"Initiate review."

The inquisitors immediately dispersed, and the inquisitors began to stand before the lined-up Space Marines, scanning each warrior's body and soul one by one using various methods to check for warp contamination, traces of chaotic whispers, or soul distortions.

But every one of those who wept stood tall, allowing various psychic powers or instruments to probe them, their eyes clear and unwavering.

Even before their return, despite being suspected, they never abandoned their faith, and in the warp, they resisted the temptations of chaos time and time again.

After their return, everything finally improved. Thanks to Elder Lancelot's generosity, they were even fortunate enough to witness a feather imbued with the power of Saint Geres! Under Saint Geres's illumination, the Weeping Ones were no longer the same as before; they had been reborn!

Meanwhile, the Mechanicus bio-sage, accompanied by Karen, headed to the newly built Gene Sanctuary deep within the ship's hull.

Because of the sacred object, the Weepers downgraded the safety priority of the Gene Seed by one level, reserving the safest place for Saint Gilles' feather.

The sages of the Mechanicus discovered this thing, but didn't say much, because inside the new Sanctuary, stasis pods were neatly arranged, containing the genetic seeds passed down through generations of the chapter.

Each one is labeled with the origin of the gene seed, and some even include the sacrifice.

These genetic seeds are suspended in transparent nutrient solution tanks, dormant at low temperatures. Each genetic seed represents a potential future Space Marine, a potential warrior who will serve the Emperor for a thousand years.

For Space Marines, the Geneseed is not merely a continuation of the Chapter; many Geneseeds can even be considered the final legacy of their deceased brothers.

One of the pharmacists' main duties is to extract the genetic seed from the fallen brothers.

This is something of practical value and profound significance.

Under the Inquisitor's orders, the accompanying Mechanicus members began to directly access the warship's Thinker system and sent people to the archives to begin reviewing the situation.

After two hours of reviewing the records, the court's recorder used electronic eyes to input the contents of each page of the data panel into a permanent archive, while the biological sage from the Martian Mechanicus began to test the purity of this batch of genetic seeds using instruments.

The biological sage activated special detection equipment, rapidly analyzed the data, and made a very quick judgment: the gene sequence was complete and pure, without any chaotic distortions or bloodline contamination, and fully met the genetic standards of the Holy Blood Angel Clan.

Malakin, on the other hand, was taken to the bridge interrogation room to face a private interrogation by Severina.

He made no secrets, recounting the events of encountering the warp storm, the chapter warriors' desperate fight, and their return. Apart from omitting Lancelot's presence, he only mentioned that they received guidance from Sangeles in the warp and obtained a batch of equipment and supplies.

The navigation logs, combat footage, and casualty records were all presented in their entirety. Each record clearly proves that even though this warband was lost in the warp for a century, it never betrayed, never succumbed to chaos, and never failed the blood of Saint Jereth.

A full twelve hours.

The inspection covered everything from the ship's surface to the power core, the gene sanctuary, and the warriors' psionic powers and souls.

The courtroom's testing equipment detected no trace of chaotic corruption, the psionic screening found no subspace contamination, the genetic samples were 100% pure, and all the files corroborated the chapter's loyalty.

Severin stood on the bridge, looking at the complete review report on the holographic projection. Everything was perfectly normal, even to the point of being formulaic...

But the more this is the case...

Severine felt increasingly uneasy.

The blessing of Saint Geres?

Where in the world is there such a good thing?

"Sage, have you noticed anything unusual about this ship?"

That's how doubt works; as long as a seed exists, it can take root and sprout. The nightmare continued to haunt her, and the persistent Severin asked the accompanying Mechanicus bio-sage if they had noticed anything unusual.

The other man merely glanced at the young inquisitor apprentice with his murky biological eyes; he knew, of course, that her mentor was the infamous inquisitor.

He hadn't wanted to cause trouble, but since the young judge had asked, a stream of data flashed in the mechanical sage's prosthetic eye:

"The location of the Gene Sanctuary of the Lamenters has been changed."

"You mean this chapter has hidden something, something even more secure than their gene seed?"

The young judge said in a deep voice that she hated hiding things because of her teacher, a point that the mourners had apparently not mentioned in their report.

This clearly gave her a reason to make trouble.
