Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 27
Half a day passed quickly. Due to Franco's "repression" along the way, although almost everyone along the way was uncomfortable because of Petronilla's special physique, there were no courageous passengers who came to find him. Carl is in trouble.

But when Carl took a nap, he was dumbfounded as soon as he got up.

(Why did my power of hope disappear instead?)
When Karl watched it before going to bed, 1578 only dropped 2 points, and Karl thought it was an error in the activation of skills.

But when Carl woke up, there were only 1528 points of power of hope left on the poor panel.

This made Karl very anxious, after all, it was 50 barrels of special treatment liquid for medical machine servants!

But just as Carl felt a heartache, as if laughing at him, the power of hope instantly decreased by 1 point.

Seeing this situation, although Karl was in a hurry, he could only calm down temporarily and think about what the problem was.

According to the way the Power of Hope was obtained before, Karl probably guessed that the Power of Hope can be compared to a high-level currency traded with the Emperor.

As long as Karl acts according to the Emperor's will, the power of hope will naturally increase.

Then this diminishing power of hope, Karl guessed that he had done something that the Emperor didn't want to see.

Thinking of this, he turned his attention to the direction of a group of survivors who were rescued.

(There are corrupt believers in this?)

But Karl quickly ruled out this possibility.

Even if there were indeed a few believers corrupted by chaos among this group of people, it was impossible to affect his grand plan.

Karl believed that the Emperor was not a fool, and would not deduct Karl's "salary" out of thin air for such a trivial matter.

So Karl turned his head and looked at Franco who was smoking.

(Could it be because of Franco?)
Indeed, if Franco was a believer in Chaos, perhaps this was the Emperor's reminder to himself.

But this brings up another question, why did the emperor go there long ago.

According to this logic, Karl's power of hope should have started to buckle when he first met Franco.

In other words, if the emperor really wanted to tell Karl that Franco is a chaotic believer, wouldn't it be fine to just leave a message with the emperor's gift?

There is no need to spend a lot of time here, pretending to be mysterious.

Similarly, with this logic, Karl ruled out the suspicion of Petronilla.

So going around, Carl finally cast his eyes on himself.

In fact, this is not surprising. After all, when people often encounter problems, they will first find out the problems of the people around them, and finally examine themselves.

(Did I do something wrong?)

(Wait, is the Emperor blaming me for bugs?)
Suddenly, Karl Mousse realized.

This time was different from before, Karl ran directly into Petronilla's psychic restricted area after using his skills.

Obviously for the warp forces of chaos, this is the best way to avoid corruption.

Therefore, Karl didn't think there was any problem with the bug at first.

But alas, though somehow, the Emperor does not seem to like this behavior.

Fortunately, the speed of this buckle was still within Karl's acceptable range, so he decided to wait until he got to the nest first and settled down before trying to leave Petronilla's psychic forbidden zone to see what happened.

Seems to be echoing Carl's thoughts.

Just as Carl was thinking about the reason why the power of hope was inexplicably deducted, the alarm clock beside Carl suddenly rang.

The alarm clock rang suddenly, reminding him that the train was about to arrive.

So Carl got up and went to Franco.

After telling Franco of his next plan, Karl took Petronilla to a "absolutely safe corner" in his calculations.

As for the other survivors, it would be the best of humanity for Franco to remind them.

All actions now must be based on Karl's safety, otherwise, once something happens to Karl, what awaits these survivors who are lucky enough to survive must be a future that is worse than death.

Accompanied by the sound of "sizzling" current, and amidst the roar of the rapidly changing electromagnetic engine, the whole train began to decelerate.

At this time, Karl, although he is sure that there will be no major problems here.

But just in case, Karl took Petronilla together to take a shock-proof posture.

After a while, with the vibration coming from ahead and an instantaneously increased recoil force, the car where Carl was in stopped firmly at the end of the track.

(Well, about the same as I estimated!)

But at this moment Karl was not in a hurry to jump out of the car and leave.

Because he is very clear about the role he needs to play at this time-an ordinary train robbery survivor.

Of course, Franco also understood what Carl meant. Hearing the gradually noisy voices outside the train, Franco turned around and jumped off the train first.

After a while, it seemed that Franco had reached some kind of agreement with the other party, and Franco, who turned around and jumped on the train, began to greet all the survivors to get off in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, Karl took Petronilla by the hand and mixed into the howling crowd.

Because they know that if they are injured in this situation, they can basically stand on their own.

The outbound process along the way was so simple that Karl couldn't believe it.

The group of law enforcement officers who rushed over simply asked everyone to register their names, and then gave a little francs as compensation according to the injuries at the scene.

Then all the survivors were chased out of the station by the law enforcement officers who came here like rats.

Of course, during this process, Karl did not see Franco.

Apparently, Franco was taken away for questioning.

But Karl is not worried about Franco, after all, he has perfectly perjured him.

The process of the shootout in the middle, as well as the fingerprints on Franco's hands, can all confirm another "heroic story" he told.

If under the circumstances of such "conclusive evidence", Franco can't label himself as a lone hero, Karl will have reasonable doubts about whether he is qualified to be his helper.

Putting aside Franco's affairs, Karl finally began to observe the environment outside the entire station for the first time.

Darkness, as always, enveloped the entire space, but it was different from the narrow pipe living area of ​​the Bottom Nest.

As the largest industrial area in the Hive City, the Lower Nest is also the area with the largest usable space in the entire Hive City.

But it was also this environment that gave Karl a sense of depression that he had never experienced in the Bottom Nest.

As a person in the 3K era, it is hard for Karl to imagine that this is the environment in which most people in the empire live their entire lives.

Giant columns all over the industrial area support a large number of towering foundry factories.

And in some giant casting factories, huge steel furnaces are continuously pouring industrial products.

Normally, these huge boilers and smelting and casting workshops will continuously produce various industrial items that the empire relies on to support its existence.

But at this time, Karl could not see how many factories were operating.

Obviously, the situation is deteriorating rapidly in the place where the astronomical torch can no longer shine.

And just as Karl lamented the coldness of the world, a sharp and ear-piercing alarm suddenly echoed throughout the industrial area.
