The shabby shuttle eventually landed on a small cargo ship above the planet.
This is a small ship converted from a cargo ship to an armed cargo ship. It can be seen that the conversion was very hasty, and the family crest of Ms. Tis's family was hastily painted on the side of the ship.
Almost as soon as he boarded the ship, Blake realized that something was wrong with Hades.
But Hades didn't show anything, just chatted casually with Ogryn. Ogryn told Hades that his name was Smart Head.
After finishing the chat with Ogryn, Hades turned sideways and looked at Tis, who seemed absent-minded. Out of concern for the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy, Tis did not allow others to contact Hades and his group.
Through the dim glass, Hades could see the curious or frightened looks of the people - but most of them looked old and young.
"Ma'am, do you have anything to explain?"
Hades asked. He didn't look at Tis. His eyes seemed to penetrate the wall and look at a cabin somewhere.
Tis took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry, Hades." She tried her best to calm herself down. "Please forgive me for my misbehavior just now."
"I just..." Tiss forced a nervous smile, "Please allow me to think of the Inquisition and the State Church first - you may understand the fear of these institutions of a minor noble."
"I need to prioritize contact with the trouble you might bring... from those agencies, and..."
"Are you really..." Tis laughed at himself, as if to throw away a broken jar. "My brother often taught me about science."
"In fact, my people and I were driven out by the planetary governor Mauro. Prior to this, he and an inquisitor had just robbed my ship."
Tis blinked and looked towards the cabin where Hades was looking.
"Because my brother is the only noble in Aswan who believes in Hades."
"So Mauro forced all the people from his ship who were suffering from the plague of immortality to be thrown onto my ship."
Tis took another deep breath, finished saying everything, and looked at Pluto with relief.
"I suppose that is what you wish me to explain?"
Hades was silent. Plague of Undeath
What he could feel was that there were more than a hundred souls burning abnormally. The fires of those souls seemed to be about to go out, but they were reluctant to fade away in the subspace.
"Father," Black added in time, "The Undead - a disease that appeared in the real world after Lord Mortarion led his army to attack the Warp. People can no longer truly die. The Death Guard believes that this may be evidence that the God of Death is gradually losing his power over Death."
What does this have to do with the Pluto Cult
As if he knew what Hades was wondering, Blake spoke up.
"The way to save these undead is to use the Soulless to summon your gift and put them to sleep. Conventional methods of destroying corpses cannot kill them."
Hades nodded, still staring at the abnormal subspace area in deep thought.
"You should probably have explained this to me before, Tis."
Tis's face turned pale. "My Lord, I'm sorry - I was too nervous just now, and... you came at a very strange time."
"My... my brother was infected with the Plague of Undeadness a while ago."
She had a quarrel with her dying brother Shor, and she cursed her loved one for taking in the undead that Mauro had thrown to them, causing Shor himself to be infected with the plague!
She looked at her brother's cloudy eyes and cursed, if the Hades he believed in really existed - then why didn't He come to save His believers, but instead let him fall into the plague
After that, Tis sealed the cabin where the undead were imprisoned, including her brother. She was heartless and allowed the ghosts imprisoned in the human world to wail in pain.
She had to cut off the source of transmission as much as possible.
Every day and every night, the howling of the undead but rotting people came from the pipes, almost driving her crazy.
She thought more than once of simply setting those people on fire.
Her brother had explained to her more than once that even if she cremated the patients, they would still be "undead". Their souls would be trapped in the corpses that were burned into powder, and they would lose the only possibility of "cure".
She must successfully lead her ship out of this star region, find a Pluto Temple where at least three Soulless Ones exist, and then let these people rest in peace - including her brother.
This was almost impossible for this simply armed cargo ship.
Therefore, Tis chose to follow Mauro's ships, even though it meant that Mauro would most likely come to rob them again.
But Mauro's Inquisitor has a way to avoid the swarm, which is the safest way.
It was also because of the purpose of preventing Mauro from coming again to rob supplies that after receiving Barry's signal, Tess was ecstatic - firstly because Tianshi was not dead, and secondly because she now needed to strengthen the armament on the ship as much as possible.
The righteous Lions also hate Mauro, the Lord of the Main Hive.
Tis immediately decided to deviate temporarily to pick up Tianshi and then catch up with Mauro's ship.
But... she never expected to see Pluto, the son of Pluto... anything related to the Cult of Pluto behind Barry.
The first moment Tis saw them, the first thing he thought of was whether they were evil creatures disguised as Pluto.
No... How could the existence of her brother who prayed every day and night appear in front of her so easily? She thought of the prayers coming from the pipe beside her bed day and night, and those tiny words eroded her, making her collapse and finally numb.
In the end, Tis's biggest motivation for wanting to sail out of this star region was no longer to stay alive, but to want those people to die.
It is also the fear of the unknown. The plague of undeath will only appear after a person "dies". Tis can't imagine how devastated she will be if one day she finds that her heart has stopped beating but she is not dead yet.
Maybe she had been infected a long time ago.
Is that Hades? Is that Hades? Or is there a conspiracy, or perhaps a test from the Inquisition - some extreme Inquisitors would burn all the undead.
Deece didn't believe them, but she did believe Barry, and after a cursory questioning, Deece confirmed that Barry was of sound mind, loyal to the God-Emperor, and just a little tired.
Tis ruled out the possibility of evil and the Inquisition.
But is he Pluto
Tis was not a believer, but her brother had often told her about the deeds of Hades - if he was really Hades, why did he need the help of a small, noble ship
If he really was the one who could destroy stars single-handedly, why would he need the help of a simple ship
If he was not, and was just an impostor, Tiss would immediately detonate the bomb on the shuttle, she could not allow a dangerous element to return to her ship.
But Tiss finally compromised.
Just because Hades showed that dark tide.
The moment she saw the dark water, Tis made her own decision.
No matter whether he was Hades or some kind of living saint, she would believe what he said, as long as he could save the undead.
Her thoughts touched her brother, and Tis shuddered again.
She almost covered her face and cried - Tis asked herself, did she dare to open the door that she had closed tightly and sealed for a month
How will she face those... living corpses
