Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 126 Suspicious Recording
……

morning.

"Master Chuck, you have a letter from Priest Vic of the Mechanic Order."

"I see."

Chuck, one of the three existing judges in the ship, took the letter from the servant, opened it and read it carefully.

This is a routine debriefing on what Vic has seen on the hive world.

Although none of this information is important, and the Tribunal can obtain information that cannot be concealed through a hundred methods, the existence of Vic has greatly accelerated the speed of information acquisition.

After recording all the information on the letter, Chuck walked to the porthole of the room to observe everything outside as usual.

In front of the ship are two space fortresses. The shape of these fortresses is not a bastion-like structure, but a very standard circle.

A large number of black spheres were flying back and forth around the building, and many machines that looked like some kind of sea creature were climbing up and down the fort shell.

Chuck didn't understand, why do people in this galaxy like spheres so much?
The fortress in front of me is like this, and the man-made buildings on the orbit of the hive world are also like this, it's just that they are bigger or smaller.

After thinking for a while, Chuck suddenly recalled a speculation that Vic once said to himself.

Perhaps the function of the fortress seen now is not just a fortress, but a small-scale celestial system. Maybe the two existing fortresses are satellites of a super-large planetary building in the future, just like a fort.

Chuck thought it was ridiculous, he just felt that the things in front of him had a unique sense of beauty, giving him a sense of solemnity and solemnity.

"Don't you think that's fascinating?" Chuck said suddenly to the servant.

"I'm just horrified," the servant replied. "I can't even imagine if those two fortresses were armed and opened fire on us..."

Chuck is a good person, so the servants dare to tell the truth in front of him, and Chuck also likes to hear the truth. What he hates most are lies, and what he likes most is machines.

"Don't be so hostile and prejudiced." Chuck turned his head to look at the servant, "Don't be like Reina, those conservative lunatics see everyone as a heretic, and she told me that you might be a heretic."

"Nothing can shake my loyalty to you." The servant knelt down and said.

"I know." Chuck simply said.

Both were silent.

Until the slave on the ship brought breakfast into the room, he walked to the porthole without raising his head, and handed the plate to Chuck.

Chuck picked up the bread and wine with the nutrient cream in it, and while eating, he observed the construction work of the fort outside the porthole.

When a machine being manipulated by humans failed to fix itself firmly on the surface of the fortress and floated off the surface of the fortress due to some bumps during work, Chuck would stop and watch nervously.

And when the machine floated back to the surface of the fort to continue working in various ways, Chuck would clenched his fist and applauded him.

After eating a happy breakfast, Chuck looked at the servant and asked, "Have you seen Reina since last night? I went to see her last night, and there seems to be no one in the room."

"I see." The servant replied respectfully, "I saw the judge on the tarmac."

"Don't judge your lord, she is a torturer just like me, not an official judge yet." Chuck said and walked out of the room.

When the servant wanted to ask Chuck where he wanted to go, he only heard Chuck say a word without looking back.

"I have to keep an eye on that bitch, lest she secretly make things worse."

……

After a while.

Chuck leaned against the doorframe of Reina's room, quietly listening to her explain why she thought everyone in the Talon galaxy was heretic.

These reasons are pretty much the same as those mentioned yesterday. There is not much detailed evidence, and it all depends on feelings and doubts about various technological creations of unknown origin in the Tyron galaxy.

Chuck and another judge are investigating suspicions about technological creations of unknown origin. They also think that these technological creations are weird, but they don't think that people who use such technological creations are heretics.

After listening, Chuck said to Lena: "Have you ever thought that maybe these things are made from STC templates?"

"Are you kidding?" Reina couldn't believe her ears, she stood up and yelled at Chuck and asked, "There are so many STC templates in a remote galaxy that is not even divided into star regions, do you think this is normal?!"

Chuck has gotten used to Lena's attitude. He looked at Lena indifferently, and his tone was light: "Then what do you think is the situation? A super powerful person appeared in a remote galaxy that is not even divided into star regions. He researched these technological creations? Are you kidding me?"

Lena was speechless, and wanted to talk about the possibility that these technologies were alien creations, but she also felt that this was unlikely, so she finally stopped arguing and pushed Chuck away before leaving the room.

Chuck watched Reina leave quietly.

He wondered what this guy was doing yesterday, but now it seems that she didn't do anything, just went out of her room.

Out of professional habits, Chuck even doubted whether Reina was still the same person, but through her performance, it can be concluded that this suspicion is superfluous and unnecessary.

After confirming that Reina did nothing last night, Chuck also walked out of the room.

But just after Chuck took a dozen steps, he suddenly thought of another thing. When Lena planned the kidnapping operation before, everyone didn't know about it. Maybe she deliberately concealed something?

Thinking of this, Chuck turned and went back to Reyna's room, and began to search everything here.

After searching for a long time, Chuck's eyes fell on a diamond-shaped metal box on the table, and he recognized that it was an item that Reina carried with her, which could be used to record things remotely.

Chuck immediately opened the box and checked the contents.

Inside was a note that was blank with nothing on it.

"Hmph, you better not do anything." Chuck snorted coldly and put down the box, but instead of leaving immediately, he took five steps back, then two steps to the left, and finally a small step back.

After walking a few steps like performing a ritual, Chuck squatted down and picked up the floor under his feet, and took out a tiny bug from inside.

Chuck plugged the bug into his ear to listen to the recording, then closed the floor, turned and left the room and closed the door.

"I behead you, heretic!"

"Witness my glory, my victory! Witness the death of your evil governor!"

Chuck frowned at the first two words in sleep, but just as he was about to take out the bug, he heard footsteps again.

It's the sound of power armor colliding with the metal floor.

Chuck frowned and realized that the matter was not simple, and his intuition told him that someone entered Reina's room last night, and it was a person wearing power armor.

The collision sound produced by this power armor is not loud, which is different from the noise made by ordinary power armor, which makes Chuck even more suspicious.

After listening to the recording, Chuck had already walked into his room.

"The pastor is waiting for you." The servant reported respectfully to Chuck who entered, and then walked out of the room and closed the door.

Chuck looked at the table, and sure enough, he saw Vic sitting there. The priest of the Mechanic Order turned his neck behind his back and was staring at him.

"Listen to this." Chuck sat down at the table, took out the bug and put it on the table.

Vic stared at the bug for a while. His implanted auditory enhancement device had transferred the contents of the bug and played it.

"It's a normal recording." Vic gave a cold response after listening.

"Normal? No!" Chuck lowered his voice, "Is it possible that someone teleported into Reina's room last night, and then picked her up and took her away? You have seen the capabilities of those teleportation devices, and those advanced power armors, don't you find it strange?"

Vic's only remaining flesh and blood eye stared at Chuck, and after a moment of silence, he said in a commanding tone: "Destroy it."

Chuck didn't agree or refuse, just sat silently.

"Destroy it." Vic repeated his order like a machine.

Chuck was silent for a few more minutes before picking up the bug in his hand and crushing it.

There was no expression on Vic's face, which was only a quarter of flesh and blood, and there was no wave in his eyes.

"This is a troublesome matter. I hope you made the right decision, because we will be in big trouble if things are exposed in the future." Chuck warned while spilling the powder on the table, "You'd better think it over...Father."

　There is a period of development between the second volume and the first volume, which is a year and a half. I skipped this year and a half, so the time of the second volume is one and a half years after the last chapter of the first volume
