In the distance, the roar of garbage trucks is still there.
A waste area where no one is watching, a large cemetery where metals are stacked.
Hades stood there, time was passing minute by second on the display screen in the helmet,
"I suggest you get straight to the point."
"Otherwise, the distress signal I edited in advance will be sent out."
A gleam of light flashed across the electronic eyes of the mechanical sage opposite.
Misstep, this Death Guard was far more cautious than he usually showed.
But Hades saw through the gold he had painstakingly buried in the Technical Sergeant base in advance, so the credibility of the data collected previously was greatly reduced.
"What distress signal?"
Sage needs more information.
"Don't act stupid."
Hades spoke and stated calmly,
"What you should be thinking about now is why I am interested in the cooperation you mentioned, instead of trying to take me away."
"I was already aware of your trap before I set off, 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 formed Legion?"
Hades unhurriedly pulled out the letter from Mortarion from the power armor glove. Although the letter did not contain much substance, it contained the seal of the Royal Palace of Terra, the personal crest of the original body, and the horse. Cardo's coat of arms is still somewhat useful.
"Because there's someone behind me."
When the sage opposite saw the seal on the letter clearly, Hades calmly put the letter back.
This move is called a fox pretending to be a tiger's power, ensuring that the sage will not suddenly knock him away with a sap and put him in a sack.
At least in the previous battles, the crude version of the electricity-draining staff held by the opposing servitor was not the most orthodox form, but more like a poor version cobbled together. Not only was the key inscription missing, but even some of the basic circuit circuits were not followed. Pass.
In other words, this scarlet sage has not reached the level of contact with the electric monk.
There are two possibilities. The first is that the sage from the opposite side came to capture Hades as a personal act and did not involve the organization.
The second possibility is that the opponent is an organization, but the operation is not assigned a high level.
No matter which one it is, as long as Terra or a primal investigates it carefully, the opponent will have to suffer a little. If it is the first one, then the sage will most likely be killed directly.
As for the second type, the sage in front of him will also be kicked out by the organization and used as a scapegoat.
Want to eat him Hades?
It also depends on whether your network is big or not. Is it okay if your appetite is too small?
According to the way the other party arrested him, it was obvious that they did not want to expand the scale of the incident.
Moreover, based on the previous analysis of the message sent by Jin, Hades has been able to roughly determine where the sage's lair is——
Even if that information is encrypted and relayed multiple times.
"So, give me a reason not to report you."
Compared to Hades, the mechanical sage Kirkland opposite him felt that his only wet 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.
At least the other party's purpose is not just to protect himself, he has other intentions.
It seems that the plan to directly use the opposite side as experimental material was miscalculated.
If there is cooperation, Kirkland's thinking engine is humming. Under the premise of ensuring the life stability of the experimental materials, some experiments cannot be completed.
In the Sage's calculations, the only variable was the Death Guard's connection to Terra and the Legion.
He had no information about Hades.
But the Sage's top priority now is to stabilize the Death Guard on the opposite side and prevent himself from being exposed.
But for such a cherished sample, Kirkland's computing circuit was boiling. He didn't want to miss Hades!
Hades's observations were consistent with what he knew about the "cursed."
The opponent's counter-psionic field was the strangest one he had encountered so far.
The strength can even form a vacuum in the subspace, but at the same time it has a high degree of control. According to previous observations, Hades can control his anti-psionic field to just below the body surface so as not to affect daily life.
Unlike any inaccessible sample previously studied, he could not let go of this cherished sample.
And he agreed.
The factions among the sages are also complicated. As a sage who is dedicated to the study of counter-psychic energy, in order to obtain more information and technology, he has to use his technology and future potential to exchange for his status.
Kirkland spoke;
"I am Lanze, a foreign sage who studies anti-psionic energy. I have been collecting untouchables and various alien anti-psionic technologies."
"By chance, I discovered you. Your anti-psionic field is far stronger and different than that of other untouchables."
"What kind of accidental method?"
Telling the truth would not affect the rest of the conversation, so the wise man decided to tell the truth.
"I captured a psychic vacuum from the subspace. After calibration and calculation, the location shown is the Barbarus star field."
Hades blinked. The psychic vacuum refers to the black realm that Hades could not take back before?
Small things like this can be discovered.
However, what Hades didn't know was that what the sage captured was the vacuum formed when his black domain broke out, but Hades's memory was changed and he did not remember this incident.
Hades thought to himself,
The sage opposite obviously has a lot of tricks, so why is there no trace of him in the original work?
The sage spread his hands as if to say that he had said everything he could.
"Then I noticed your Excellency,"
Counter-psionic powers had been on the fringes of research before the Heresy, or were research directly under the Emperor's control.
And what appeared in front of him was a wild anti-psionic sage.
He was proficient in counter-psionic power, but was not noticed by the empire. He took illegal actions to catch Hades, combined with what Malcador and the female sage said before.
The sage in front of Hades was obviously an anti-imperialist, and he did not want to be noticed by the empire.
But the Empire needed his skills.
Hades stared at the sage "Lanze" in front of him, and suddenly had a crazy guess in his mind.
Could it be that the sage in front of him defected to the anti-Emperor faction, and was killed by the forces he defected to during the Great Rebellion?
After all, some of the previous sages were only anti-Emperor, intending to restore the seat of Mars, but after taking refuge in Horus, for Chaos, such sages who study counter-psionic energy will definitely be the first to be strangled.
Let him test it out,
"If it's anti-psychic, you can contact the empire directly. I think the scientific research department of an organization like the Sisters of Silence will welcome you to join."
A wise man will not associate with a liar.
Moreover, if one enters the empire's system, the sage himself will be subject to inspection.
Kirkland's current flowed through the drive. He couldn't do this. He couldn't associate with a tyrant who had deceived the God of All Machines.
"."
He still remembers that day.
That day, it rained on Mars.
Thick clouds covered the endless mountains, dazzling lightning spread in the clouds, and thunder rolled, suppressed and low.
Everyone came out, sages, servants of gods, skitarii.
They gathered on the city roads, they gathered on the harbor platforms, they crowded and stared at the miracle before them.
Some servitors even broke their established procedures and left their posts tremblingly.
Then, the rain fell.
That's rain!
Natural rain!
Not other liquids discharged from industry, most of these transparent liquids are composed of H2O, mixed with negligible impurities.
They smashed down and soaked the scarlet robe.
Some people knelt down tremblingly, even though their lower limbs had been modified to the point where they were no longer suitable for kneeling. The carols rang out, stimulating everyone's information collection system.
But most people just stared blankly. The God in the sanctuary really walked down the hall and came to the world.
The natural human eyes, which have not yet been modified, begin to shed tears.
“Praise be to Om Messiah!!!”
The shouts continued.
And he, he was stunned.
Kirkland watched all this incomprehensibly, the portable psychic detector he had just made blaring wildly in his arms.
He seemed to be holding a nuclear bomb about to explode.
He slowly turned back and looked at his companion whose logic system was blinded by joy,
The psychic alarm reached its highest peak, and the values above were still trembling. They wanted to soar, but they had already reached the upper limit set by Kirkland.
Liar! Liar!
This is a psychically forced rain!
It's all a psyker's hoax!
Kirkland stood in the rain, which was beating down on him mercilessly.
His whole world had lied to him.
Since then, he, who focuses on the field of psychic energy, began to study counter-psychic energy.
He was going to pull out the liar's lies.
