While sending puppets to conduct a blanket search of the entire base, Duanmuhuai was bored and began to look around at the situation.

Judging from the structure here, it seems that this should be a very ancient stronghold of the Cult of Mechanicus. At least many of its structures and decorations indicate that it probably originated from the earliest days of the human empire. However... this also means that there may be some unknown secret hidden in it.

Well, this is all nonsense, almost every stronghold of the Adeptus Mechanicus looks like this.

In fact, in the game, what players dislike the most is the behavior of the Mechanicus. They believe that if the Mechanicus’ religious flavor was not so strong, the technological development of the human empire might be improved by several levels. Rather than end up like that.

The reason is quite simple.

Although the Mechanicum appears to be a scientific and technological research organization on the surface, in the final analysis it is a religious organization. They fanatically believe in the God of All Machines and believe that knowledge is a manifestation of sacredness. All creatures or cultural relics that possess knowledge are also sacred because of knowledge - beings with more knowledge will naturally be worshiped.

It doesn't seem to be a problem, but when it comes to the religious attributes of the Mechanicum, it's a pain in the ass.

The main thing is this sentence - knowledge is a manifestation of sacredness. The more knowledge an existence has, the more it will be worshiped.

Under this teaching, there is no exchange and sharing of knowledge at all in the Mechanicum. Of course, if it is some useless or common knowledge, that's it. But these really low-level and sophisticated things are all hidden by us. Tucked in. Because according to the teachings of the Mechanicum, if you have obtained those low-level knowledge, you will be closer to the God of All Machines than others. If you tell them, the others will also obtain the same little knowledge. , and in the same way, he is closer to the God of All Opportunities.

Therefore, there are very few bad things in the Cult of Mechanicus that they keep to themselves and tell no one. However, as we all know, once knowledge is not widely disseminated and exchanged, this... is basically equivalent to working behind closed doors, and nothing can be achieved.

"What on earth did those oil guys do..."

Faced with Emperor Huai's inquiry, Ghost Duonan shook his head blankly. You had been sleeping outside before that. It must have been the arrival of Emperor Sophora, so you might still wake up.

"Huh? This..."

"Go back and take a look."

Forget it, that’s what I’m talking about.

The abnormal operation of the Mechanicum was completely unintentional.

"ghost?"

“…………Little inquisitor, why did you take out the rope?”

"...The bad image exploded during the experiment, and then...everyone died."

Emperor Huai Nashang knew where this sink came from.

Emperor Huai nodded. After all, the opponent was floating in the air and his body was translucent. Since he was a human being, he was no longer a ghost. And at that moment, this blond man was seen staring at the rose knot on Xiao Shihuai's chest, firm for a moment, and then said loudly.

"I mean, can I tell you exactly what happened there?"

Emperor Huai squatted down and stared at the body of a motor oil guy at his feet. The motor oil guy, like a small number of motor oil guys, had not transformed his body beyond recognition. There were metal prostheses everywhere, and it looked like he was inside. The star mechanical bugs are more like humans. If the Inquisition had determined that the symbol of pure human beings was the skull, then those things would have been treated as aliens long ago.

However, whether it was due to the experiment or a problem with Duonan's psychic ability, you were not completely dead. Your soul was bound outside that space. Duonan himself knew what was going on, so he just stayed there and observed. The experiments of those oil guys, and then you quickly find out what those people are doing.

Thinking of that, Emperor Huai thought for a moment and silently stretched out his hand.

For example, there are two factions in the Tribunal. One is committed to resurrecting Duanmu, and the other wants to find a brand new body so that Xiao Shi's soul can be possessed and reincarnated to manage the empire again.

Hearing Xiao Shihuai's inquiry, Ghost Duonan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head with a reddish complexion.

"who is he?"

"Um……………?"

"Excuse me... are you a little inquisitor?"

After all, when he said possession, he was possessed, and when he said reincarnation, he was reincarnated. How can you guarantee that the possessed person is not Duanmu but some other monster? There is only one Duanmu in the human empire, so if something goes wrong, you all know who to go to to solve it!

"oh……………"

Whether Ogis's words were a compliment or a criticism... Emperor Huai didn't even bother to care.

According to the reaction of the dolls, is there anything outside that base?

Xiao Shihuai stared at the male ghost and asked. Although the former was not afraid, he saw that Emperor Huai didn't seem to be worried, so he spoke quickly.

Could it be that…………

Upon hearing that, Emperor Huai's expression changed and he chuckled.

Warp storm? But in the case of a subspace storm, would the entire stronghold have to explode directly on the spot?

"You know..."

"hehe."

Of course, the latter was easy, and the former was also denied by many judges at the time.

Is it really an empty shell that has been abandoned long ago?

"Ah, bad..."

"Speaking of which, why did he suddenly appear?"

However...how did the sink explode?

"Hmm...that's weird."

Then you die.

Seeing that scene, Ogis tilted her head in surprise.

Or some kind of virus? It's possible. After all, the research institute is at the foot of the mountain. If the virus hadn't been leaked, it would have been a dead place.

"Um?"

As for this STC... I guess it's finished.

As for Xiao Shihuai, I really wish there was no Xiao Shisidian outside, because he would have retreated into a prosperous society because of running. Unfortunately, the possibility is very small. After all, there are players outside the game who have unearthed the STC of the Book of Ten Thousand Machines. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you think about it... After all, no one has the power of YY, and the Inquisitor is also the case hahahahaha...

Well, at the end of the experiment, he died.

"Before being looked at by you, the little inquisitor, looking into your eyes will make your heart beat faster. It's a very strange feeling..."

"What's going on at the front?"

At that time, Emperor Huai suddenly felt a line of sight coming from the void, and I slowly turned my head and looked towards the place where the line of sight was. There was nothing outside, but at the last moment, with a scream of "Ouch!", a blond man's figure quietly appeared from it, trembling and curled up into a ball, staring at the emperor An. Sophora japonica.

Ghost Duo Nan nodded, and then finished telling his story - to Xiao Shihuai's surprise, that Duo Nan was actually from the Empire (wrong, this empire of the Human Empire), and he was also a psyker. It's just that your psychic ability is not very weak, and Tao Nan was taken to that base before he was found to have no psychic powers. At that time, Duo Nan didn't know what the oil guys outside were doing. He only knew that we seemed to be conducting experiments, and he was the experimental subject.

"Experimental subject?"

"So what is he going to do now?"

"oh?"

The most important thing is to pass.

"We... seem to have found a general STC. That kind of device cannot merge the spiritual energy of the subspace with living organisms to produce perfect psychic creatures... Although the few things we said are too small for you to hear. I understand, but we seem to want to...create another Duanmu..."

Emperor Huai clenched his war hammer and walked outside with small steps.

Just when Emperor Huai imagined that he had obtained the Book of All Machines and was sweeping across the entire galaxy, the report from the puppet made me immediately come back to my senses.

This is also true in fact.

"These people said...it seems to be a problem with the body size, and there is a way to withstand too little subspace energy, so we found a very small whale..."

Hearing Emperor Huai's inquiry, Ghost Duo Nan frowned and thought about it for a moment.

And once this secret forging world or the Mechanicum stronghold is exposed, it will mean that the entire research results and knowledge system are completely lost and scrapped.

"……………Why???"

Looking at the scene behind his eyes, Emperor Huai was also stunned. Right now, I was standing outside a huge room in the deepest part of the stronghold. Outside that room was a huge tank that looked like something used in an aquarium. The sink in front of me had not exploded long ago. Judging from the instruments that were knocked away and the body of the oil guy in Seven Weeks, it was probably not the scene of the first crime outside.

As expected of a motor oil guy, this was completely beyond my expectation. I really dared to think about anything.

"You are...Experimental Subject No. 28912..."

Judging from the corpses, the way the oil guys died was very strange. We just fell to the ground without even picking up weapons. It's not that it was an attack, it was more like a sudden disaster. It seemed that there was no irresistible factor that swept the entire stronghold instantly, and then those oil guys were unprepared. He just fell down and died on the spot.

So it is strange that there is no similar faction within the Mechanicus.

Are there any threats or traps?

Looking into your eyes? Heartbeat?

As a result of the investigation by the puppets, the entire base was in a mess, and traces of battles could be seen everywhere. It was obvious that there had been battles and attacks outside, and basically a small number of things had not been completely destroyed. However, the condition of those corpses seemed to be fine.

"What about now?"

And according to later records of Imperial Truth, Duanmu... the bad image was really man-made?

However, the current experiment has always been the most difficult.

"You are truly worthy of being a master."

Of course, the human empire is not over yet, and there is no point in liquidating the Mechanicus now. But for players, any place that has nothing to do with the Mechanicus will make us less interested-after all, there are bad things outside. There is some kind of white technology holy artifact buried there.

"You said he is not interested in being your familiar?"

Forget it, just go and take a look and you will know. Those oil guys have all kinds of weird ways to commit suicide. Emperor Huai can imagine what we did.

It can be seen from this that religion harms people...

"Um?"

Upon hearing that introduction, Xiao Shihuai frowned.

Upon hearing the blond man's question, Emperor Huai's eyes flashed.

"A brief introduction."

Of course, it’s understandable that the oil guy wouldn’t have that idea. Judging from the time Duo Nan told, you should have lived in the middle and early stages of the empire when Xiao Shi was sitting under the toilet. There were indeed not many factions studying that issue at that time. . In fact, there are no similar differences even within the Tribunal.

"Um……………"
