After the team disbanded and the newly joined soldiers headed to their respective residential areas under the leadership of the first company, Soshyan, who changed into regular uniforms, met with Tekshar alone in his personal observation room and detailed some more confidential matters, such as The status of the Gray Marrow implantation in the Chapter, as well as some things about the Primarch, such as he was indeed killed by his brothers, but it was only Russ and the commander of the Custodes Malcador, the other Primarchs had a good relationship with Xerxes, etc. .
On the one hand, he did this to correct some of Texhar's misconceptions, and on the other hand, he wanted to test whether he was a pawn planted by Li An.
Texhar was shocked and a little unbelievable at first, and then he fell into thinking.
Until he said this.
"Did Li lie to me?"
But soon, he fell into that trance state again.
"No, it won't happen. Mr. Li saved us."
Soshiyang had already made arrangements at this time. He stood up directly and pressed his hands on the opponent's shoulders. His gray marrow worked again, but in another form, a symbol appeared in front of him——
He intends to control Texhar as he controls the other Dark Guards.
Sure enough, Texhar's gray marrow reacted quickly, but it was not a normal reaction. Both of his eyes emitted a dark green light, and symbols similar to those of the Necron appeared on the metal half of his face. At the same time, he shook his shoulders violently, as if trying to shake off Soshyan's arm.
At that moment, Soshiyang felt a will to resist, but it did not come from the gray marrow. He could still gain the other person's vision. He could see his own face, but he could not control the other person's behavior.
There is no problem with Teksar’s gray marrow!
It's him who has the problem!
At this time, Soshyan used more force with his hands, and with his bare hands without wearing armor, he suppressed Texhar, who was wearing a Terminator and began to struggle violently, in place.
At the same time, a revolving door descended from above, and Veronica, wearing a light cyan dress and a light gait, walked out of it, with psychic power surrounding her - at this time, because Soshiyan converted the power of gray marrow. form, her power was not only not weakened by Texhar's gray marrow, but instead strengthened.
Veronica walked behind Texhar, floated until she was slightly taller than him, then stretched out her left arm and put her left index finger on the back of his head.
After a moment, she whispered:
"There is definitely something in his head, and it will take some time to force it out bit by bit without damaging his remaining nerves."
"Don't worry."
As the halo of psychic energy enveloped the entire observation room, Texhar's body shook more intensely, and the gray marrow on his face even began to flow, spreading towards the part below his neck. Seeing this, Soshyan pressed hard Hold the opponent's shoulders, and on the one hand, try to use your strength to limit the opponent's gray marrow's rampage.
About a minute later, Veronica suddenly hummed, raised her right hand and lightly slapped Texhar on the head like a mosquito.
In a ripple in the air, a small object flew out of the metalized side of Texar's head at an extremely fast speed, but was stopped in mid-air, and then Texar was like a deflated balloon. Likewise, if his terminator wasn't still functioning and supported by locked joints, he would probably fall to the ground softly.
"This is?"
After righting Texhar to make sure he wouldn't fall, Soshyan looked at the thing. Veronica had fixed it in place with psychic threads.
It looked like a metal insect, about the size of Soshyan's thumb, with a black shell and a green head-like part. Its shell had fine and complex patterns, and there were thin metal tentacles extending around it. , reminiscent of some kind of multi-legged creature.
"Is this... a Necron thing?"
Soshyan had a vague impression of this thing. He seemed to have seen it on the World Engine before, but it seemed different.
Veronica stared at it, nodded, and said seriously:
"It's a heart-locking beetle but this one is a little different, it's smaller and more complex."
"What is a heart-locking beetle?"
"This is the most vicious technology of the Necrontyr. It is a variant of the endless beetles in the gloomy tombs, or a more advanced existence. It is usually used by the high-ranking lords of the Necrontyr who are called kings or overlords. It They will sneak into the host body, allowing the host to become a spy or puppet of the Necrontyr without being aware of it. Moreover, they have an extremely remote range of control, and can even cause the victim's mind to be indirectly manipulated by a will from a distant star. Among them, heart-locking beetles generally have two modes of operation. One is very covert suggestion control, which is to implant a subconscious mind or suggestion into the host's brain. This method of control is very covert, and the host and the people around him can't control it. People will think that everything is normal, and the other is to directly take over the host's nervous system. However, this activation is also devastating to the host - the lock beetle activated at full power will cause the host to be burned after a few minutes. It’s charred on the outside and tender on the inside, but no matter which way it is, the lurking heart-locking beetle is very, very difficult to detect, whether it’s instruments or psychic powers, it’s not easy.”
Just as Veronica finished speaking, an arc of electricity suddenly burst out in the air, and then the heart-locking beetle suddenly curled up its limbs. Soshyan immediately swatted it away upon seeing this.
In the flash of lightning, the entire Heart Lock Beetle exploded into a ball of green light. Veronica immediately stretched out her hand and shook her palm. The energy that could destroy the entire observation room was suffocated by her in the subspace.
"It seems that the implanter also took out the last layer of insurance, and we were careless."
Veronica looked at the direction in which the Heart Lock Beetle was annihilated and shook her head.
"If it is fixed with a time lock early, we may be able to trace the manipulator behind the scenes."
Soshyan sneered.
"There is no need to pursue it. No one else can implant this thing in Texhar."
"That Li?"
"Hmph, it seems that this dear friend has really hidden a lot of things from me. According to you, this kind of heart-locking beetle can only be used by senior lords of the Necrons, which means that Li has a Necron 'friend' , this is really interesting.”
At this time, Soshyan noticed that Texhar's eyelids were twitching a little, so he nodded to Veronica, and the other party disappeared directly.
"I am the commander of the army."
Texhar shook his head, covered his forehead, and almost fell down after taking a step.
"Why does my head hurt?"
"There was something wrong with your gray marrow just now, and I've helped you solve it."
Looking at Soshyan, Texhar nodded in confusion.
"Ah, thank you legion commander. Ever since I was assassinated, my brain has often become a little confused due to the damage it has suffered."
At this time, Soshyan felt that Texhar was a bit pitiful. He had been manipulated without knowing it, and most of everything he believed in was a lie. This was so similar to him in the past——
The sense of recognition brought about by this empathy made Soshyan step forward, hold the other person's shoulders, and said seriously:
"No, brother, never again. As long as I'm here, nothing will ever be able to hurt you."
