Warhammer: The Worst Start There Is (40k)

Chapter 319: A diary that records the truth (please subscribe)

Views:

Use the chips of rescuing Elsa and the Grim Reaper to exchange for the knowledge of the Black Library.

It is definitely an extremely good deal.

Even though this deal is likely to sacrifice many people.

Politics is so dirty and filthy.

To sacrifice some for the whole.

Guilliman had a deeper understanding of the dirty hands of politicians.

This is original sin.

This world is fair.

Nothing comes without a price.

For humanity as a whole, obtaining the knowledge of the Black Library is the most important thing.

Converting all that knowledge into productivity and combat effectiveness would be of great benefit to the empire.

The benefits brought far outweigh the imperial soldiers sacrificed to make the deal.

Attacking the territories of Slaanesh and Nurgle can also help you gain some experience.

To prepare for the Empire's complete destruction of the Chaos God, and more importantly, to enhance Guilliman's power.

There are two kinds of power.

One is to use genetic modification or leverage the power of the subspace, which belongs to the individual.

The so-called magic, cultivation, super powers, etc. all belong to this category.

The other kind of power is the power gained by utilizing social rules to restrain the group.

The former is freer and can do whatever he wants, but a person's power is ultimately limited.

Even if you can leverage more power, you are still only one person.

As for the latter, the power they can exert is far greater than that of the former, and they can also bear more responsibilities and are bound by rules.

We have to consider the overall interests and not do whatever we want.

Guilliman's power belongs to the latter. Whether it is inheriting the power of the Emperor or the power of ruling, it is closely related to the human race.

The more powerful the race and the larger its population, the more power it can control.

There is no limit to this improvement.

As population increases, power increases.

There is no need for self-cultivation and training.

In addition to the strength brought by the faith of the human race, civilization also provides another kind of power.

Simply put, it is power.

Many people feel that power is not as important as magic or individual strength.

It's simply because they don't have a clear understanding of power.

Within the imperial bureaucracy, an official who holds military power can completely destroy a planet simply by signing a war document.

This is also a kind of power.

Sometimes, it can even make those beings with individual power feel suffocated.

Strengthening the entire empire would do more good than harm to Guilliman.

He can become more powerful.

It allows him to do many incredible and unimaginable things like a god.

Guilliman wanted humanity to gain more knowledge.

In addition to the knowledge provided by the system, the knowledge of other civilizations must also be absorbed.

The system is powerful and helped Guilliman out of trouble in the early stages.

Even so, Guilliman could not fully trust the existence of the system.

He also can't put all his chips in one basket.

To put it bluntly, an honest man guarding a boat alone would either be driven off the boat or thrown into the river and drowned.

A scumbag who has his feet on a hundred boats can often find the best boat to reach the other side.

Putting your future in the hands of others is undoubtedly the stupidest thing to do.

The initiative should always be in your own hands.

Guilliman checked the fourth-stage database, and found that the knowledge contained in it was already very advanced, involving concepts such as cosmic rules, mathematical laws, etc.

If the empire has mastered all the knowledge, it can even forcibly distort the mathematical rules of a region and cut off the development path of a civilization.

You can also redefine the spatial dimensions like stacking blocks and shape it into what you want.

The empire will undoubtedly be reborn, and it will become easier to conquer other universes.

After absorbing the fourth-stage database, those so-called miracles will become insignificant projects for the empire.

Those gods in the eyes of mortals are like ants in front of the empire and will be easily crushed to death.

After reading it once and getting a general understanding of it, Guilliman closed the database.

It will take some time to fully digest the knowledge of the third stage.

The best approach would be to wait until the Empire's personal terminal system is fully promoted and then slowly release this knowledge.

Guilliman already has a detailed plan for the future of the Empire.

Administrative management and economic aspects must rely on the spiritual network formed by every human being, that is, the subspace firewall against the gods.

This spiritual network will usher in a super information age, allowing humans to communicate conveniently, upload and download information, and build an information world of spiritual interconnection.

The lighthouse system will also continue to be optimized, striving to be miniaturized and even implantable.

That way, even if the local lighthouse system is destroyed, it can still be connected.

As for the military, Guilliman planned to use the characteristics of the Heart of the Empire to build an intranet dedicated to the military for communication in military warfare.

The most important point is to ensure that the soldiers of the expedition can return to the firewall network built by humans after their death, to avoid falling into the hands of evil gods or other hostile beings.

Last time, Calgar’s soul was almost taken away.

That incident was a wake-up call to Guilliman.

Calgar is still in the galaxy, and he can still rescue and expel the enemy.

The empire's future battlefields will inevitably be in alien universes and extragalactic galaxies, hundreds or even tens of millions of light years away from the empire.

At this scale, a lot of technology is almost useless.

If a crisis like the one that happened to Calgar broke out again, Guilliman would become confused and doubtful as to whether he would be able to rescue in time.

Strengthening this type of construction should also be included in the empire's next century-long strategic plan.

Some necessary and harmless genetic adjustments and nano-engineering to enhance survival should also be included in the national security system.

Human fragility is evident.

Illness and accidents always make many people lose the ability to continue working. Even if they receive some treatment, the sequelae continue to torture them and greatly reduce their work efficiency.

It is also very important to allow humans to have a certain degree of self-healing ability, so that they can automatically repair hidden diseases in the body and enable them to resist most of the discovered sources of epidemics.

Incorporate database knowledge from Phase 4.

Build a military intranet and optimize the lighthouse system.

Try to use genetic optimization to upgrade the flesh and blood of all human beings to a certain extent, implant nano-repair systems in newborns to enhance their survival ability.

Encourage childbirth, increase the population of the empire, and colonize other galaxies.

Let the alien universe exploration team intensify its exploration efforts and look for multi-level forces that can declare a full-scale war.

Prepare to launch an all-out campaign against the Eye of Terror.

Establish a controllable subspace intelligence organization.

Strengthen the development of personal terminal systems to enhance the ability of ordinary people to obtain information.

Completely unify the galaxy so that there is only one unified civilization in the galaxy.

Those aliens who can be absorbed as allies will temporarily serve as vassals of the empire.

Those who were not qualified were destroyed.

Guilliman listed all the relevant matters.

As the ruler of mankind, there are many things that he does not need to do personally.

As long as he puts forward an idea, a large number of officials will come up with proposals.

It’s just that some things need to be concealed and need to be supplemented and covered up by other plans.

To this end, one must also spend some time to ensure that his subordinates do not guess his true purpose.

... ... ... ... ...

Red Leaf Mental Hospital.

Darkness always shrouds this eerie place.

Darkness has become the norm in this world.

In the invisible darkness, countless strange creatures are wriggling.

Like the foggy world, this is also a world invaded by weirdness and darkness.

The sun emits a black light and sometimes shows a strange smile.

The two moons emitted a bloody light, and sometimes revealed hideous crying faces.

Ominousness and weirdness have become the norm in this world.

The reincarnation game sends players here, and I’m afraid it’s not just a trial, but more like some kind of sacrifice.

The failed players will be sacrificed to the Red Leaf Mental Hospital.

Sitting on the roof of Hospital Building 3, an oil lamp has been lit.

If you look closer, you can see that the wick of the oil lamp is made of dried human skin, and the lamp oil is sticky blood with a pungent smell.

The light of the oil lamp was very steady and was particularly conspicuous in the dark Red Leaf Psychiatric Hospital.

Qiu Chen, wearing a hospital gown, sat in a chair, holding a cup of steaming black tea in his hand, crossing his legs, and sipping the tea leisurely.

Under his chair, a howling evil spirit emitting a pungent smell of blood was pinned down.

The strange curse patterns spread in all directions with the evil spirit as the center, but were suppressed within a very small area.

The ground was covered in ominous bloodstains, and there were hideous scratch marks on the floor, with only the remaining flesh and blood tissue visible.

The two evil ghost children were extremely scarlet and made strange noises.

But it is difficult to break free from Qiu Chen's control.

“Why can’t I get rid of this thing?”

A terrified voice rang out.

Despair, terror.

With a bang, one floor of Building 4 next to Building 3 exploded directly.

A woman rushed out wearing a transparent hood.

His face was distorted with fear.

Countless scarlet lines spread out behind him, exuding a smell of decay and ruin, rushing towards the escaping player.

"It's really wonderful, a mental hospital is like this."

Qiu Chen took a sip of black tea and immediately felt warm.

The evil spirit under the chair kept trying to use the curse lines to erode Qiu Chen, but was blocked by an invisible force.

The player used his keen senses to detect something unusual.

When he looked up, he found another player sitting on the roof of Building 3.

The other person was sipping tea, and when their eyes met, he raised his teacup and greeted him.

This scene made the female player's eyes shrink, because Hongye Mental Hospital is a B-level copy.

The ghosts among them are extremely strange and have the ability to kill B-level players instantly.

Why can the other party be so calm and composed? !

A sharp pain brought her back to reality.

Countless strange patterns came together to form a spear emitting scarlet light, which pierced her shoulder.

The gushing blood gathered together and intertwined to form a ghost with a rotten body and half of its head smashed.

The female player was very decisive. She cut off her shoulder and her entire hand directly, used the force from the air, turned around and rushed to the roof of Building 3.

Those strange patterns seemed to have life and changed along the player's flight trajectory.

"Save me." The female player shouted, "I can pay any price."

Qiu Chen looked at the other person.

The ridiculously large hospital gown brought out the female player's impressive figure as she moved at high speed.

Her face looks very small, like a cute loli.

The majestic mountains are just around the corner.

It was obvious that there was nothing inside the hospital gown.

Otherwise it would be impossible to have this perception.

The exposed shoulders are round and smooth, and the skin is as delicate as a baby's.

Excessive blood loss made her already fair face even paler, and her messy hair made people feel pity for her.

The severed arm was wriggling with flesh.

Apparently, the woman had some special item on her body that allowed her to restore her arm.

"It's top-notch, really top-notch." Qiu Chen gave the highest evaluation based on his many years of experience.

"Save me." The female player shouted again, "I can agree to anything you ask for."

In the minds of players, in order to survive, there is no moral bottom line that cannot be broken, and nothing that cannot be traded.

Body, game points, props, dignity, loyalty, everything has a price.

As long as the price is right, they will sell it without hesitation, just to survive.

Being alive is everything, being able to enjoy a superior life and great power.

When you die, there is nothing.

"Then do you know the holy, bright, omniscient and almighty savior?" Qiu Chen took a sip of black tea and asked slowly, "Are you willing to follow her, spread her teachings to the ignorant people of the world, follow her instructions and contribute to a greater cause, even if it means sacrificing your life."

The female player was stunned when she heard this.

Looking at Qiu Chen in his hospital gown, there was a very strange sense of absurdity.

It is incredible that a player still believes in religion.

Gods are just beings with great powers.

The reincarnation game has infinite possibilities, and those advanced players even have the means to become gods.

"I can give you props and game points." The female player said: "I don't believe in any gods."

Weird patterns continued to attack the female player's protective shield.

The glowing protective shield has begun to corrode.

Countless curse patterns appeared on it.

"I don't lack such things." Qiu Chen said, "I only spread the Lord's teachings. She is the savior of the world and the light of hope. Chanting her name and accepting her mark will bring you her protection."

The female player looked at Qiu Chen and thought he was a lunatic.

Promoting bullshit doctrines in the reincarnation game.

She looked behind her, at the source of countless strange lines.

When she was in Building 4, she stole a key item and attracted this evil spirit.

The two fought for a long time, and when she realized she couldn't win, she fled.

But judging from the evil ghost's appearance, it was obvious that he had no intention of letting him go.

The evil ghost's limbs were twisted at inhuman angles, and it crawled quickly along the wall like a reptile, with its head upward and its back backward.

Very fast.

In just a few breaths, it had climbed to the same height as himself.

A scarlet, strange curse emanated from it, like a flood, interweaving together to form a terrifying big net, trying to catch the female player.

The female player looked at the evil ghost for a few seconds, then looked at Qiu Chen.

It seems that there is no way to persuade the other party.

Unless you become a believer of that damn savior and accept the mark, the other party will never save you.

God knows what that savior is.

Maybe it was a trap set by some high-level players, using faith to perform some strange and forbidden techniques.

When there is no danger, use small favors to bribe people's hearts.

When the crisis comes, just offer sacrifice.

Looking at the evil spirit being controlled under the chair by the other party, the female player hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took out a blood-stained love lock item.

This is an A-level rule-based item that she had painstakingly borrowed from her faction. It can bind the lives of two players together and share the damage.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to be that so-called believer. But our cooperation can be carried out in another way."

The Concentric Lock released two rune chains, connecting Qiu Chen and itself.

"Help me through this crisis, and I can pay you a satisfactory reward." The female player said, "Otherwise, the Heart Lock will transfer the damage I suffer to you."

"I don't like forced buying and selling." Qiu Chen looked at the female player and said calmly, "You are very beautiful, which is the only reason I recruited you. Now your actions have made me completely disappointed in you."

Target: Reincarnation game player, B-level, name: Elena. Possessing props: Dustless Shield (B-level), Strange Heart Lock (A-level), Puppet (B-level), Dark Hymn (B-level), Jumping Pocket Watch (C-level)... ... ..

Target camp detection: chaotic neutral, serious violent tendencies, no dedication to others, not recommended for recruitment.

... ...

The reason why Qiu Chen recruited the other party was simply because of his good looks.

The Salvation Society also needs one or two decent-looking facades.

Appearance is also a scarce resource.

Unfortunately, the other party did not appreciate it.

He also tried to use props to tie the two men together and force him to take action.

Holy, bright, omniscient and omnipotent Emperor of the Empire. As excellent front-line workers of the Empire, how can we accept the coercion of these ants who are unwilling to believe in the great Emperor and the Emperor of the Empire

"I'm sorry, but I will make it up to you." Elena said, and licked her tongue, the meaning of seduction was self-evident.

"No need for compensation. In the name of the Lord, you can make up for your mistake by just dying." When Qiu Chen said this, his figure became vague.

When he appeared again, one of his hands had already entered Elena's chest, and when he pulled it out, a heart was also taken out.

There was disbelief in Elena's beautiful eyes. She looked down at her chest. There was no wound, but her heart had disappeared.

The protective shield and many other defensive items had no reaction and her heart was taken away.

Ignoring defense, is this a space-related talent

Why

She is so beautiful and has such a great figure.

Isn't the man in front of me moved at all

You know, those so-called high-level players in the past would choose to help her just for a night of passion.

Why is this guy so cruel? !

"No matter how beautiful a woman is, her heart is so ugly, and the despair before death is so consistent." Qiu Chen threw the heart towards the spreading curse pattern and watched it being quickly devoured, with only a little blood falling to the ground.

Elena's eyes were filled with madness. "You will die too. Your life is tied to mine."

"This thing is useless." Qiu Chen took out the heart-shaped lock that was just in the woman's hand, and it exploded with a light squeeze.

It exploded.

The woman stared at the scene in amazement.

Mouth opened wide.

The next second, everything went dark before his eyes, and that fiery body became limp and powerless.

Even a B-level player cannot survive without a heart.

The reason why they can hold on for so long is that the player's physique is far superior to that of ordinary people, and there is also the auxiliary effect of props.

Halfway down, the corpse was rolled up by the intertwined curse patterns.

The evil ghost used his broken sword to see the head with a white brain turning towards Qiu Chen. He was startled when he saw that the other party was looking at him with interest.

He climbed back along the original path at a faster speed.

The game mechanism's rules of killing have been triggered with the death of the female player.

Staying any longer would be a death wish.

Facing this powerful player, it can only use its own strength.

Those intertwined curse patterns shrank back into the four buildings like frightened tentacles.

The broken walls also began to move and repaired themselves at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a while, there was no trace of the damaged area.

Even the rubble and bricks that fell to the ground disappeared without a trace.

Qiu Chen landed next to his chair.

The evil spirit that he had trapped just now had already escaped.

Qiu Chen didn't care about the evil ghost's escape. He took out two items he got from killing the female player and put them into his storage space.

There is also a pass-through item for the reincarnation game - the diary of the Crazy Dean (exclusive to the game copy and cannot be taken out of the copy).

Qiu Chen sat in his chair and flipped through his diary.

July 8, 2016.

I became an intern at Hongye Mental Hospital, which was a very happy thing. This mental hospital was the only one in the city, and the treatment was said to be much better than other hospitals. I had to try hard to find a way to stay here. My biggest threat was Zhao Dong, and I would not be worse than him.

July 15, 2016.

Shit, I heard the list of regular employees has already been decided.

Zhao Dong has a relative who has connections in Hongye and had already helped him negotiate the permanent employment agreement.

I am just going through the motions.

Damn, this is such blatant behind-the-scenes manipulation.

There is still fairness in this world!!

One day when I have power in my hands, I will kill all the backdoor dogs in the world.

August 10, 2016.

Hahaha, I didn't expect Zhao Dong to be such a scumbag. He actually abandoned a girl after having sex with her. He is simply a scum. Even if she asked for hundreds of thousands of yuan in betrothal gifts and also wanted a car and a house, he shouldn't have abandoned her. In order to advocate for justice, I anonymously instructed his girlfriend to go to the hospital to make trouble. Such a scumbag should not have a good ending. This unlucky guy was fired by the hospital, and my promotion was secured.

September 8, 2016.

There is something wrong with this hospital. People from the government come and go frequently. There is also a huge underground space that connects five buildings. There must be a big secret hidden there. I am excited just thinking about it. If I work harder, maybe I can participate in the government's secret experiments like in the novels, and maybe even gain super powers.

January 3, 2017.

Are these guys crazy?? Damn, this is not a mental hospital at all, this is a research institute, they are using those mental patients to study the bullshit alternate dimension.

As a righteous person with high moral bottom line, I will never go along with these guys.

I will collect evidence and prepare to expose this hospital.

It is our duty to uphold justice

March 9, 2017.

What the dean said makes a lot of sense. For the sake of human scientific research, what’s the problem with sacrificing these people

They simply cannot survive in human society.

Now, just let them play a little bit of their residual light.

I will be getting an office and house that are exclusively for me as a director tomorrow. I am so happy that I have been promoted to director after only one year.

Red leaves are my home, everyone loves it.

June 7, 2018.

Hehe, being a director has a comfortable life.

There is a new intern who asked me to help her get a permanent job. Hehe, I’m not afraid of you asking, I’m just afraid of you not asking, little sister.

June 17, 2018.

Damn, that stupid guy, it’s none of your business if I help that girl get a permanent job.

If you want justice, why don’t you go to your mother and ask for it? Damn it.

I climbed to this position to give you justice!

Something with an underdeveloped brain stem.

Cause so many things.

If I hadn't helped the dean solve so many problems over the years, I'm afraid I would be finished.

Being a dog has its perks.

There will always be someone to lend a hand at the critical moment.

The dean is my biological father.

March 6, 2019.

There was a lot of public outcry, and someone leaked some details of the experiment.

The damn dean said during the meeting that someone had to take responsibility, what does it mean that this bastard kept looking at me?

Does he want me to take the blame

I knew there was something wrong with this bastard.

I have to strike first.

April 12, 2019.

I anonymously sent some records of the dean's corruption and bribery to a reporter named Mo Xiaoxiao.

Old man, let’s see who is more ruthless.

April 16, 2019.

The dean is dead.

He was hit by a truck at an intersection and his body was shattered into pieces.

People outside said that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

hey-hey.

Money is really a good thing.

May 7, 2019.

The deal is done. It cost me so much money, but it's finally settled. From now on, I will be the dean of Hongye.

Rest in peace, old man.

I will manage Hongye well.

June 8, 2020.

Oh my god, there really is a soul.

Those mentally ill people have made great contributions to scientific research experiments.

The experiment was successful.

I'm going to be successful and famous, damn, rich.

September 7, 2020.

The project is confidential and cannot be disclosed to the public. It seems that the dream of success and fame has been shattered.

The government wants us to continue researching and see if we can weaponize the soul.

What a bunch of lunatics.

However, I also took this opportunity to get to know many bigwigs and establish a network of relationships.

Hehe, even if I don’t get famous, I will be as stable as a rock in the future.

December 9, 2020.

Something is happening, there is something following those souls, and they are approaching our world.

Several colleagues in charge of research died, as if they were torn apart from the inside.

The patients who participated in the study also showed abnormalities, crazy behaviors, and some strange behaviors.

We have to find a way to deal with those family members.

January 6, 2021.

More and more people died, and there were problems with the experiment, so it had to be stopped. However, the military was unwilling to stop, as they felt that the monsters following the dead were the weapons they wanted.

Someone noticed the abnormality of the red leaves.

There are reporters following me.

February 18, 2021.

, those bastards are now looking for a scapegoat. The New Era Daily has already pointed the finger at Hongye. They want to kill me and make me the scapegoat.

I knew it would be like this.

They are a bunch of heartless bastards.

Just wait and see, if I can't survive, we'll all die together.

March 29, 2021.

Open a case to investigate, you want to get me? Dream on, let's die together.

I'm going to open that gap tonight.

If I'm not having a good time, then no one should have a good time.

... ... ...

Qiu Chen kept watching until a time prompt popped up on his watch.

Shows that it's time for him to take medicine.

Qiu Chen then took back the notebook.

Now, he is still a patient and needs to take medicine three times a day.

These are the rules of the game.

If you violate the rules, you will be killed by evil spirits.

The rules of killing can't do anything to Qiu Chen.

The problem is that if you stand out too much, you'll likely be flagged by the game.

Before, he had suppressed evil spirits without triggering the other party's killing rules.

Many players can do this.

It's just a matter of time.

Otherwise, if the evil ghost comes out, there will be no solution. Then which player can pass the Red Leaf Psychiatric Hospital dungeon

The reincarnation game is about reaping the most profits, not digging up the roots.

The female player found herself in such an embarrassing situation because she took the diary and triggered the rule-killing.

Qiu Chen put away the chair and oil lamp and walked towards the staircase entrance on the roof.

His ward is on the top floor of Building 3.

Just walk down the stairs from the rooftop.

The corridor was in a mess, with scattered medical carts and blood-stained medical sheets everywhere.

The mottled walls exuded a faint stench.

When I walked into the exclusive ward, the scratches on the door were clearly visible.

It is hard to imagine what kind of insane state one must be in to leave such marks with claws.

Qiu Chen just opened the door and walked in.

A strange voice was heard.

"It's time to take medicine."
