Start a Core Pod Chapter 1314

Chapter 1314: In-depth exploration (it's really annoying that the water was cut off due to heavy rain)

Duanmu Huai raised his head, stood up, and curiously looked at the group of warriors in front of him.

Judging from the power armor on their bodies, these soldiers were obviously Astartes. Duanmu Huai could even recognize them from their iconic decorations. They should be a battle group belonging to the Space Wolves. But that's not important, what's important is what's behind - Duanmu Huai glanced at the wolf pups in front of him, and then cast his gaze behind them, where stood two people wearing almost the same armor as Duan Muhuai.

One male and one female.

Except that the patterns on their armor may not be as rich and exquisite as Duanmuhuai's, other aspects are similar.

Well, two Inquisitors, so interesting.

"Yo, hello."

Duanmu Huai raised his hand and said hello to everyone, while the latter stared at him warily while clenching the weapon in his hand. Standing at the back, the relatively older judge asked.

"Who are you?"

"I am the Grand Inquisitor Duan Muhuai."

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders, he didn't lie, this was his identity.

"I didn't know that the Inquisition sent someone else to investigate this space hulk."

"If only I were here to investigate."

Duanmu Huai curled his lips helplessly.

"It's a pity that I'm not. I'm trapped here. Before you arrived, I just walked around here and killed some things that dared to stand in front of me. It's that simple."

"So, you're a prisoner?"

At this time, another young female judge asked.

"Let's put it this way, it's impossible for me to jump out of this broken ship and swim to somewhere else, right?"

Duanmu Huai spread his hands and looked at everyone.

"Okay, everyone, what are you doing here? Although I can't say that I am a landlord, but if you need any help, I can help you, as long as you are willing to take me out of this hellish place. become."

The two judges looked at each other, and the older one spoke again.

"We're here looking for something."

"Well, I won't ask you what you are looking for. I don't know any more about this broken ship than you do."

Duanmuhuai guessed that they might be competing with the dark elves for something, but he was too lazy to meddle in such nosy matters.

"But if you need me to help you get rid of those troublesome bastards, I'll be happy to oblige."

He just hopes to leave here and kill a few more **** along the way.

Perhaps it was Duanmu Huai's neat move in killing the Dark Eldar that gained their trust. After discussing for a moment, the two inquisitors allowed his companion to go with him. Of course, they didn't tell them their mission, and Duanmu Huai didn't need to ask. He is also an inquisitor, so he understands that unlike those who dig through garbage, inquisitors usually go to a space hulk not for some treasure, but to recapture something, destroy something, or track something.

Just bringing a group of wolf cubs together shows that this mission is really important.

Duanmu Huai walked beside him, looking at the Space Wolves curiously. They were very young, and he could tell at a glance that they were the Space Wolves' recruits. But because of this, Duanmuhuai is somewhat curious about their mission and responsibilities, because according to Duanmuhuai's experience, the inquisitors have their own guards and attendants, and unless the situation is serious, they rarely seek the assistance of the Space Marines.

Maybe it has something to do with that Death Watch soldier?

Duanmuhuai glanced at the black figure in the wolf pack again. This was not surprising. Space Marine Chapters would send their own warriors to the Death Watch for further training. It would not be surprising for a graduated Astartes to go on missions with the Inquisition. Strange, if this Astartes comes from the Space Wolves and recruits a group of wolf cubs to help...well, it doesn't seem strange?

In addition to them, the inquisitors naturally brought their own escorts. Duanmuhuai only knew that the two inquisitors were named Stern and Kara, and that the leading space warrior was named Lana, but it was enough to know these, anyway. ...As for the mission of the Tribunal, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't look at what you shouldn't see, and don't think about what you shouldn't think.

So Duanmuhuai turned on the headphones silently.

Let's listen to some songs.

At the same time, beside Duanmu Huai, the two judges were also communicating silently in their personal communication channels.

"What do you think?"

Stern took a look at Duanmu Huai's tall figure walking not far away and asked. His subordinate Carla was silent for a moment, and then spoke.

"To be honest, for a person trapped on a space hulk, he seems to be acting...too relaxed."

It's not surprising that there are people on space hulks. In fact, some of the space hulks with a long history even gave birth to equally “historical” ethnic groups, such as beastmen. These things have also appeared in the Novice Village, and the reason why they appear here is the same as on the Novice Planet - the subspace distorts the bodies of those mortals and allows them to give birth to twisted, chaotic freaks.

When these beastmen grow up, they, like their compatriots in Novice Village, will begin to spontaneously believe in evil gods.

Incidentally, since Space Hulks spend most of their time floating in the Warp, they are more closely associated with the Chaos Gods than their distant cousins in the novice village.

And in subspace, time itself has no meaning. Maybe thousands of years have passed outside, but in subspace it may only be a month or two.

It's not like they haven't been to space hulks before, and it's not like they haven't seen mortals driven crazy by the subspace. But this Grand Inquisitor was different. He seemed very relaxed and at ease, and his steps were smooth. He didn't look like he was trapped on such a dangerous space hulk, but more like he was walking in a garden world.

and………

"He's powerful."

Kara's voice was mixed with a bit of fear. She was a psyker with powerful prophecy ability. Because of this, when she first saw Duanmu Huai, she felt a terrifying pressure. That's not because of his appearance - the Inquisitor has seen all kinds of aliens and mutants. Although Duanmu Huai's appearance is fierce, it is considered normal in this world.

In other words, considering that he is a judge, this fierceness suits him very well.

But as a psyker, Kara felt something even more terrifying inside.

"I don't know how to describe it at all. I haven't even scratched the surface of him, but I already have a hunch that if I continue to test his inner being rashly, then I'm afraid the consequences will be difficult to predict. And..."

Kara swallowed.

"Beside him, I felt as if my psychic powers were being suppressed."

"You mean like the Untouchables?"

"No."

Kara whispered in reply.

"It's not the feeling of being swallowed, but something more... It's like being enveloped and suppressed by a huge mountain. I feel that my spiritual energy cannot be used at all. They begin to become restless, humble, as if they are surrendered. Slave, I want to activate my psychic powers, but they don't obey my commands at all."

Hearing Kara's answer, Stern was silent for a moment.

"I don't feel that way, but didn't you notice?"

"What?"

"Our equipment." Stern glanced around.

"Our instruments have been hit and miss since we boarded the space hulk."

"Isn't this normal?"

Kara doesn't think there's anything strange about this. The space hulk can be said to be an extension of subspace, where any rules of the physical universe may be disturbed or even invalidated. It can be said that it is common for things like astrology or communications to be interrupted or interrupted. This is why manpower is often needed to explore the space hulk - otherwise, just get on the servitor, why would there be such trouble?

"But now, it's working fine and there are no issues."

Stern looked at the auspicious device in his hand, which was as stable as if it had just left the factory.

"Since the Grand Inquisitor joined us, our communication devices, auspicious astrology, and all other devices have never had any problems."

"………This shows what?"

"I don't know either."

Faced with Kara's question, Stern shook his head, but he quickly turned his head and looked at Duanmu Huai who was bored next to him with interest.

"But this deserves further investigation."

Afterwards, everyone did not encounter any danger again, but they did not relax their vigilance. The Dark Eldar were just like cockroaches. The presence of one of them meant that there might be a group around them. However, the mission of these people is obviously not to expel these Dark Eldar. They just move forward, move forward, guard the surroundings, and then move forward.

I don't know how long they walked, it could be only a few dozen minutes, or it could be a few hours, but everyone came to a place that looked like a rest room. There are fountains, sofas, and a crystal dome through which you can see the starry sky outside. But it is a pity that the beautiful alien sculptures here tell everyone that this is the territory of the Eldar.

At least it used to be.

Everyone chose to rest here for a while. The Space Wolves and the Inquisitors sat on the ground and began to take military ration pills with purified water. Duanmu Huai naturally would not wrong himself so much. He took out the hamburger and chicken legs directly from the inventory, then "poof" opened the happy water and started to feast.

As he was eating, Duanmu Huai noticed that the atmosphere around him seemed to have changed slightly. He raised his head and looked around, only to see the Space Wolves and Inquisitors looking at him with strange eyes, as if he had done something. It's like something treasonous.

"Uh... do you want to eat too? I have more here."

Everyone said nothing, just looked at each other, and then looked away.

Well, at least no one is competing with me.

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders and enjoyed the food in front of him again.

Chicken legs, burgers, fries, happy water.

Duanmuhuai finished his meal comfortably, and then leaned on the chair next to him to rest. At this moment, a figure appeared in front of Duanmuhuai. He raised his eyebrows and saw the female judge named Kara. Appeared in front of him.

"Is something wrong?"

"Who are you?"

"I told you, Grand Inquisitor Duan Muhuai."

Duanmuhuai shrugged and answered this boring question again.

"I've never heard of it. Can I ask specifically about the organization you're affiliated with?"

"If you are going to ask this, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, miss."

Duanmuhuai burped and sighed.

"I don't belong to the Order of the Holy Hammer, the Order of Fighting Foreigners, and I don't belong to the Order of Rebellion. Of course, I'm not a Sister of Silence either. Strictly speaking, I do all these jobs. My daily life is mainly about fighting. I fight demons and aliens, but I don't mind taking action against those heretics who dare to threaten humanity and are stupid enough to kneel down to the **** in subspace. In short, I protect humanity and eliminate all existences that threaten humanity. …You see, that's it.”

Duanmuhuai spread his hands and stared at Kara in front of him.

"I have no interest in the boring cliques and factions within the Inquisition, whether they are radical or conservative, what does this have to do with me. The world is so big and there are so many threats that need to be eliminated. Instead of discussing those meaningless With regard to the neurological theory, I might as well smash a few aliens or demons to death with a hammer. So, if you want to ask me, I have already answered that I am a Grand Inquisitor affiliated with the Tribunal. It's that simple.”

Duanmuhuai stared at Kara, whose eyes did not waver at all.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Duanmuhuai yawned.

"Any question?"

This time, Kara didn't speak immediately. She just stared at Duanmuhuai, and then moved her gaze to the pile of chicken bones in front of him.

"Your food reserves look substantial."

"If you want it, I have plenty more here."

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, wiped it from his arms, and then took out a family bucket. Of course he saw Kara's pupils dilated slightly - this was normal, after all, Duanmu Huai's arms didn't look like they could fit a whole family bucket.

"This is not an illusion, nor is it an illusion. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to eat it..."

Duanmu Huai silently put away the family bucket. He understood what these inquisitors were warning about. Illusion was a trick often played by subspace creatures. For example, when you think you are in a luxurious and beautiful room, maybe you are lying on the ground on a carpet of flesh and blood. Or when you think you are eating delicious food, but it is actually a collection of blood and internal organs...

Of course, Duan Muhuai still likes to eat blood tofu and roasted kidneys. The Chaos Evil God's food is disgusting simply because they don't know how to cook.

This time, Kara did not answer. She stared at Duanmuhuai, remained silent for a moment, and nodded slightly.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand, and the latter also retreated.

After a short rest, everyone continued to advance towards the interior of the space hulk. As they went deeper, the surrounding light became darker and darker. In the end, even the searchlight could hardly illuminate the interior of the dark corridor, as if the darkness here had swallowed up all the light.

The Space Wolves have also become more vigilant, while Duanmu Huai is still walking around with his war hammer on his shoulder. He certainly sensed something teetering on the edge.

But not the Dark Eldar.

This is not strange, as a space hulk, everything is normal. In fact, the Dark Eldar are outsiders just like them, but now, they are afraid that they have alarmed the indigenous people here.

A black shadow quickly passed through the tunnel next to it. Duanmu Huai glanced at it, then looked back, and at the same time clenched the war hammer in his hand.

It's time for exercise after meals.
