In the distance, the roar of the garbage truck continues.
An unattended waste area, a large graveyard of piled metal.
Hades stood there, watching the time tick by on the display screen in his helmet.
"I suggest you get straight to the point."
"Otherwise, the distress signal I edited in advance will be sent out."
A ray of light flashed in the electronic eyes of the mechanical sage opposite.
This was a mistake. This Death Guard was far more cautious than he usually let on.
But Hades discovered in advance the gold that he had carefully buried in the Technical Sergeant Base, so the credibility of the data collected before was greatly reduced.
"What distress signal?"
The Sage needs more information.
"Don't play dumb."
Hades spoke, stating calmly,
"You should be thinking about why I am interested in the cooperation you mentioned, instead of trying to take me away."
"I was aware of your trap before I set out, but I came here because I was curious about why you were staring at me."
"Give me your reasons, otherwise even if you kill me now, you will be exposed."
The Scarlet Sage remained unmoved.
"Why do you think you can threaten me, a Techmarine of a newly minted Legion?"
Hades slowly pulled out the letter from Mortarion from his power armor glove. Although the letter did not contain much substance, the seal of the Terra Palace, the personal emblem of the Primarch, and the emblem of Malcador were still of some use.
"Because there's someone behind me."
After the wise man on the other side saw the seal on the letter clearly, Hades calmly put the letter back.
This trick is called "the fox borrows the tiger's power to bully others", which ensures that the wise man will not suddenly knock him away with a club and put him in a sack.
At least in the previous encounter, the crude version of the electricity-absorbing staff held by the opponent's robot servant was not the most orthodox form. It was more like a cobbled-together inferior version. Not only were key inscriptions missing, but even some of the basic circuit circuits were not connected.
This means that this Scarlet Sage has not reached the level to come into contact with the Electric Monk.
There are two possibilities. The first is that the sage on the opposite side came to capture Hades as a personal act and did not involve the organization.
The second possibility is that the other party is an organization, but it did not give this action a high level.
No matter which one it is, as long as Terra or a Primarch investigates carefully, the opponent will have to suffer. If it is the first one, there is a high probability that this sage will be killed directly.
In the second scenario, the sage in front of him will also be kicked out by the organization as a scapegoat.
Want to eat him Hades
It also depends on how big your internet connection is. It won’t work if your appetite is too small, right
Judging from the way the other party arrested him, it was obvious that they did not want to escalate the scale of the incident.
Moreover, based on the previous analysis of the message sent by Jinfa, Hades can roughly determine where the sage's lair is -
Even though that information was encrypted and relayed multiple times.
"So, give me a reason not to report you."
Compared to Hades, the Mechanical Sage Kirkland who was facing him felt that his only wetware tissue was beating wildly.
After the other party saw through the trap he had set, instead of avoiding him, he chose to come to him.
The other party's purpose is at least not just to protect himself, he has other intentions.
It seems that the plan to use the other side as experimental material was a miscalculation.
If it is cooperation, Kirkland's thought engine is humming. Under the premise of ensuring the life stability of the experimental materials, some experiments cannot be completed.
The only variable in the Sage's calculations was the Death Guard's connection to Terra and the Legion.
He had no information on Hades.
But the Sage's current priority is to stabilize the opponent's Death Guard and prevent himself from being exposed.
But such a precious sample, Kirkland's computing circuit was boiling, he didn't want to miss Hades!
This observation about Hades fits with what he knows about the "cursed".
The opponent's anti-psychic field was the most peculiar one he had encountered so far.
The intensity can even form a vacuum in the subspace, but at the same time the degree of control is extremely high. According to previous observations, Hades can control his anti-psychic field to below the surface of the body so as not to affect his daily life.
Unlike any intouchable samples he had studied before, he couldn't let go of this precious sample.
And he agreed.
The factions among the sages were also complicated. As a sage who devoted himself to the study of anti-psychic power, in order to gain more information and technology, he had to use his technology and future potential to exchange for his status.
Kirkland spoke up.
"I discovered you by chance. Your anti-psychic field is much stronger and different than other untouchables."
"How is it by chance?"
Telling the truth would not affect the subsequent conversation, so the sage decided to tell the truth.
"I captured a psychic vacuum from the subspace. After calibration and calculation, the location displayed is the Barbarus star field."
Hades blinked. The psychic vacuum refers to the black area that Hades was unable to take back before
Even small things like this can be discovered.
However, what Hades didn't know was that the Sage captured the vacuum formed when his Black Domain exploded, but Hades' memory had been altered and he didn't remember this incident.
Hades thought to himself,
The sage opposite is obviously quite capable, so why is he not mentioned in the original novel
The wise man spread his hands, as if to say that he had said all that he could say.
"Then I noticed Your Excellency,"
Anti-psychic powers were either a marginal research topic or a direct research topic of the Emperor before the Heresy.
And what appeared before him was a wild anti-psychic sage.
He is proficient in anti-psychic power, but he was not noticed by the Empire. He took improper actions to capture Hades. Combined with what Malcador and the female sage said before.
The sage in front of Hades was obviously anti-Imperial and did not want to be noticed by the Empire.
But the Empire needed his skills.
Hades stared at the "Lan Ze" sage in front of him, and suddenly a crazy guess came to his mind.
Could it be that the wise man in front of him had joined the anti-imperialist faction, and was killed by the very forces he had joined during the great rebellion
After all, some of the sages before were merely anti-Emperor and intended to restore the seat of Mars, but after they defected to Horus. For Chaos, these sages who studied anti-psychic energy would definitely be the first to be strangled.
Let him try it out.
"If it's about anti-psychic power, you can just contact the Empire directly. I think the scientific research department of an organization similar to the Sisters of Silence would welcome you to join."
A wise man will not associate with a liar.
Moreover, if the sage enters the empire's system, he himself will be inspected.
Kirkland's current flowed through the drive. He couldn't do this. He couldn't side with a tyrant who had deceived the God of All Machines.
“.”
He still remembers that day.
It rained on Mars that day.
Thick clouds covered the endless mountains, dazzling lightning spread through the clouds, and muffled thunder rolled, depressing and low.
Everyone came out, the sages, the servants of God, and the crusaders.
They gathered on the city streets, they gathered on the harbor platforms, they crowded to gaze at the wonder before them.
Some robot servants even broke their established procedures and left their posts tremblingly.
Then, the rain fell.
That's rain!
Natural rain falling!
Unlike other liquids discharged from industry, these transparent liquids are mostly composed of H2O with negligible impurities.
They smashed down, soaking the scarlet robe.
Some people knelt down tremblingly, even though their lower limbs had been modified so that they were no longer suitable for kneeling. The hymns rang out, stimulating everyone's information collection system.
But most people just stared in a daze. The God in the sanctuary actually walked down from the temple and came to the world.
The natural eyes that had not yet been transformed began to shed tears.
“Praise Ohm Messiah!!!”
The shouting continued.
And he, he was stunned.
Kirkland watched all this in confusion. The portable psychic detector he had just made was alarming wildly in his arms.
He was like holding a nuclear bomb that was about to explode.
He slowly turned back to look at his companion whose logic was clouded by joy.
The psychic alarm reached its peak, and the values on it were still trembling. They wanted to soar, but they had reached the upper limit set by Kirkland.
Liar. Liar!
This is a forced rainfall of psychic energy!
This is all a scam by the psychic!
Kirkland stood in the torrential rain, which beat relentlessly upon him.
His whole world lied to him.
From then on, he focused on the field of psychic power and began to study anti-psychic power.
He was going to expose the liar's lies.
