Infinite Stream Metaverse

Chapter 281 Key Information
Sintila hive world.

Sintila is the capital of the Calixis star region in the hazy star field. It is not only a prosperous empire hub, but also the most populous planet in the star region. It enjoys the reputation of "Shining Spark", and is also a famous regiment of the Imperial Guard— —Sintila Fusiliers homeworld.

Sibelius' main nest, upper nest area.

Two huge Ogryns walked side by side on the street. They were [-] meters tall, wearing the belt and shoulder straps of the Imperial Guard, and the inexplicable body odor emanating from their bodies made the pedestrians around them respectful and far away from them.

One of the Ogryns looked around vigilantly and asked in a low voice:

"Why do you insist on coming to Sintila?"

"Because this is the capital of the star region, where information and intelligence meet, if I hide in the garden world far away from the route like you, I will not get any news, understand?"

The other Ogryn said.

"As you said, this is the capital of the star region, and the triangular palace of the trial court is here! That is the headquarters of the trial court for the entire star region. You are really brave."

The Ogryns tried to keep their excited voices down.

As the capital of the star region, Sintila is not only the Tribunal, but also central government agencies such as the Government Affairs Council, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Star Language Court, and the Ministry of Justice all have offices here.

His companion said nonchalantly:
"I am a space soldier of the No.11 Company of the White Scars Chapter, and I am also a non-commissioned officer. Even if my identity is exposed, what can they do with me?"

"Uh……"

The Ogryn was at a loss for words.

"Hey, listen to me, Tristan."

His companion continued:

"Your voice is not well learned. The real Ogryns speak Low Gothic, which should be similar to the dialect accent of the Orcs, and the gurgling is ambiguous. In addition, your sneaky looking eyes are also It does not conform to the traditional impression that the Ogryns give to others."

The Ogryns said angrily:

"How do I know how Greenskins speak Low Gothic!"

Another Ogryn said:
"Then keep your mouth shut, okay?"

……

The two walked through the complex street network of the hive city, turned left and right in pipes, overpasses and tunnels, and finally came to a secret stronghold, which seemed to be the back door of a certain hotel.

The Ogryn got a signal from the guard behind the door, opened the iron gate, and led his companions in. The guard stretched out his head and looked around. The street children squatting at both ends of the dark alleyway gave him a confirmation gesture—there was no follower.

After entering the hotel, the Ogryn took off the camouflage and mask on his head, and the young face with the black hydra tattooed on the side was exactly No. 56.

The other Ogryn also raised his hand to tear off the camouflage on his face, revealing a bald head covered in black prayers and a serious face full of bitterness and hatred.

Surrounded by seven or eight mortals with different identities and different costumes, men, women, young and old, all shouted respectfully:

"Owner."

No. 56 waved his hand and said:
"intelligence?"

"Master, it is like this."

One of the elders stood up and said:

"We recently inquired about a piece of news: a fleet of Rogue Traders passed through the industrial world of Hovia and was attacked by the Emperor's Children. Only some of them escaped by chance. According to them, the leader of those Emperor's Children claimed to be the leader of the "severing soul" people'."

"The one who cuts off the soul..."

No. 56 muttered to himself, lost in thought.

After thinking for a moment to no avail, he turned to look at the old man:
"Who do you think it should be?"

The old man said slowly:
"According to the few words I heard from other intelligence during the rebellion, I deduce that the person should be—'Eidolon the Soul Cutter."

No. 56's eyes lit up:
"The second-in-command of the Emperor's Children Legion, the consul of the Legion, the former 'Golden Hammer' Edolon?"

The old man nodded:
"I think so, my lord."

No. 56 narrowed his eyes and touched his chin:

"Tsk tsk, this is interesting, I guess he must want this information."

……

Gray Rock Fortress, one of Sintila's famous landmarks, this slender purple-black stone tower is the highest point of the Hive Sibelius, and is also the headquarters of Sintila's astropathic choir, where the astronomical choir consists of Composed of six astropaths.

The astropaths spend their lives in this airy bell tower, long hours of intensive mental exercises and the study of vast symbolic codes, with no one but the astropaths and a few attendants who serve and assist them.

Two Space Marines in power armor are climbing the seemingly endless spiral staircase.

"Do we have to do this?"

The Word Bearers asked as they climbed:
"Can't we go the normal way?"

"That's too late."

The Alpha Warrior in White Scars armor said:

"Where are they hunting right now? When we return to Schwerin Lair and send an astronomical message, maybe the Emperor's Children will run away. That's Eidolon, the man the White Scars most want to kill. "

Finally climbed to the top, a cobalt blue jelly-like substance gushed out of No. 56's body, covering the surface of the power armor automatically, changing the painting from red and white to gray without any markings, and then kicked the stone tower away door.

Under the blank and terrified eyes of a group of astropaths.

No. 56 raised the bolt pistol in his hand, pointed at the blind and fat old man in the middle, and said:
"According to my request, send a message in astronomical language, and I will not embarrass you."

The fat white old man trembled all over and cursed:
"Heretic, don't even think about it..."

"Don't talk nonsense with me, if you don't do it, I will give birth to the mistress of the planetary governor..."

No. 56 interrupted him impatiently. Before he finished speaking, the fat old man immediately raised his hands:
"I'll do it, sir."

No. 56 followed the old man to the high platform.

The Word Bearers pointed their guns at the surrounding Astropaths.

They are all blindfolded, but at this moment they all "looked" at No. 56 on the high platform, and their "eyes" seemed to say: You talk, but you keep talking, he and the planetary governor What happened to the mistress?
Under the stone tower of the Gray Rock Fortress, the hive policemen and imperial guards who are in charge of guarding the place have all been subdued. The strange thing is that the attackers did not hurt their lives, but just knocked them unconscious, gagged their mouths and tied them up. Together.

Afterwards, the astropaths in the stone tower faltered and hawed when they talked about this matter, which made the judges and legal officers in charge of investigating the matter very confused and confused.

……

Planet Uriah V.

The Thunderhawk gunboat slowly landed on the tundra ground, the supporting legs kicked up a large pile of snow, the steaming door seal made a mechanical sound of clicking, and steam spewed out, the gangway opened and fell, and the thud hit the engine that was melted by the whine of slush.

The howling wind blew past, the frost formed a crust on the visor, and the armored boots creaked on the snow, and the space warrior quickly scanned the surroundings with guns.

A dead world with an average temperature of more than minus 70 degrees.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Night Lords' gang had surrounded the place, Fu Qinghai would never have imagined that there would be an Assassin Temple of Callidus hidden on this planet with no resources and extremely harsh environment.

If the Midnight Lord hadn't captured a Callidus assassin by relying on Talos' prophecy ability, and the assassin revealed the location of the temple under the midnight lord's magical torture method, otherwise the Eighth Legion would not have been able to find this hidden place. place.

From interrogating the mortal slaves and traitor crew on the Desolation, Fu Qinghai learned two things:

1. Originally there was a Chaos warband here—the attack cruiser Blood League led by the enchanted warrior "Supreme". As a result, Talos, the opponent's soul hunter, predicted his arrival and ran away ahead of time.

2. Originally, the Night Lords was besieging the Assassin Temple on the ground, and then the battleship was urgently recalled. The action was hasty, resulting in some ground vehicles stranded on the surface.

Fu Qinghai came to receive these ground vehicles.

Fu Qinghai vaguely remembered that the cruiser of the Blood League relied on the prophecy ability of the soul hunter to turn danger into good luck in the messy meat grinder of the Eye of Terror many times. If he wanted to hunt them, he might have to think of some way to block the prophecy.

Everyone trudged along the valley. In such an environment, the space warriors wearing power armor could feel the slightest bit of cold. Ordinary people might not survive a quarter of an hour in the wild.

"Khan, there's a report from the tech servitor over the comm network that the fuel lines and fuel tanks on the Thunderhawk gunboat that landed are partially frozen."

said a Space Marine.

"I see."

Fu Qinghai did not stop, and continued to move forward.

Finally, they saw the black fortress hidden in the valley, and three Typhon heavy siege tanks parked outside the fortress.

"Using the chassis of the Land Raider, it is produced in the foundry world of Anvilus Nine. There are not many such good things."

Fu Qinghai said to himself, feeling quite satisfied.

He judged the models and specifications of several vehicles at a glance.

After some investigation, everyone found that all the left-behind servants in the siege tank had been frozen to death. These rigid guys might not know to draw promethium from the fuel tank to ignite the heating. Fu Qinghai ordered his men to receive these three vehicles and drive them Leave the valley and take the Thunderhawk back to the battleship.

Then he looked up at the fort not far away.

The multiple void shield arrays rising from the side of the valley can resist bombing and raids from orbit and the sky. Like many similar ground-based defense systems, the edges of the overlapping shield force fields will be more vulnerable to ground attacks.

The fortress itself was blurred by the erratic air, like a mist emitting heat. The void shield distorted the vision behind it, shrinking the battlements into uneven outlines. Fu Qinghai could only vaguely see a figure on the city wall. .

Although objectively saving this place, Fu Qinghai didn't intend to communicate with the Assassin Temple of Callidus, so he took a last look and turned to leave.

"Khan."

At this moment, the soldier beside him pointed at Fu Qinghai's back.

Fu Qinghai turned around and looked.

A short and hunched figure passed through the vague void shield, leaving behind a row of footprints in the snow, walking slowly towards Fu Qinghai's direction.

Fu Qinghai stood still and waited.

It was an old woman in a fur coat.

She raised her brown face covered with wrinkles and spots, her pale and curly hair fluttered in the wind, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Thanks to the Adeptus Astartes for their rescue, may I know your troop number?"

Fu Qinghai nodded and reported his company:
"White Scars, Brotherhood of God Machine, Aoyama Khan."

The old woman returned the courtesy of the sky eagle and said:

"The daughter of Callidus owes you a favor, Aoyama Khan."

Fu Qinghai smiled, and the laughter seemed a little distorted through the filter of the loudspeaker and the whistling of the blizzard:

"If you can see me in my true colors, maybe I can feel this gratitude even more."

The old woman was taken aback when she heard the words, and then paused for a second. Then, her whole body and clothes began to twist and change, turning into a wriggling black substance, and her height grew bigger...

In the end, a tall and hot girl stood in front of Fu Qinghai. Her uneven body and face were all wrapped in a black tight-fitting leather jacket made of an inexplicable material, except for the long brown-red braid at the back of her head. .

The girl in black tilted her head, spread her hands, and her voice became magnetic:
"Are you satisfied with this, Qingshan Khan?"

Yo, it really has changed.

Although he didn't show his face, his figure is really good, which is exactly the same as the one in the official animation and the accompanying picture of the novel.

Facing the assassin's rhetorical question, Fu Qinghai laughed:
"Satisfied, there will be a period later, goodbye."

After speaking, he turned around and led his men to leave.

What I thought was:

It's beautiful, but it's best not to interact with the Callidus assassins in the future...don't interact with any assassins from the Assassin Temple.

……

On the way back.

The fleet, which has added two new members, is sailing to the Mandeville point on the outskirts of the Uriah galaxy, preparing to enter the subspace.

Xia Yu Frosping was wearing a long robe, walking quickly towards Fu Qinghai's captain's room.

When the astropath came to the door, the attendant Lin Yu was not there, and another unknown space soldier was in charge of duty. The other party glanced at Xia Yu, as if he had said something in the communication channel, and then the hatch opened automatically.

Xia Yu walked inside and found that the navigator Tracey Gray and the rogue trader Yolanda Atella were both there. The two women were wearing gorgeous aristocratic costumes, sitting on the sofa drinking tea and chatting, smiling sweetly The atmosphere is good.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yu felt a little inexplicably upset: Why are you two here?Obviously only I know Khan's little secret.

Fu Qinghai's captain's room is very large, including a private study, a meeting area, a rest area, etc. Fu Qinghai raised his head from the desk and asked:

"What's wrong, Xia Yu?"

Xia Yu walked to the table and said:
"Khan, we have urgent information."

After finishing speaking, he kept silent.

The second girl on the sofa was slightly taken aback, and Yolanda straightened her skirt and stood up, saying:

"My lord, then I will avoid it."

Fu Qinghai nodded slightly, and nodded to Tracy, signaling her not to leave. After the rogue trader walked out of the hatch quickly, Fu Qinghai asked:
"whats the matter?"

Xia Yu spoke quickly and reported:
"Khan, we have received a message in astronomical language from Sintila Hive Capital, the capital of the Calixis sector. It is very short, just one sentence—"

"Hovia, Aidolon."

"The person who sent the message claimed: Two to the third power multiplied by seven."

2x7?

Isn't it 56?

Fu Qinghai can get the result without mental calculation.

Ah, by the way, No. 56 said before that he was going to the Calixis sector... The answer to the riddle is a junior high school math problem, this guy is really boring.

Fu Qinghai looked at the navigator and asked:
"Hovia... is it a place name?"

Tracy stood up and said:

"There is a Hovia industrial world, located on the western edge of the Ultimate Starfield, Khan."

It is indeed a place name, so "Aidolon" is...

Fu Qinghai was taken aback.

Could it be that "Aidolon"?

No. 56 used Sintila's astropath to send messages to himself. Before he left, he also knew what the mission the Brotherhood had received from the Primarch was.

Fu Qinghai's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Then there is a high probability that it is the "Aidolon"!

"Modify the fleet's course and go to the industrial world of Huovia."

Fu Qinghai immediately gave Tracy instructions.

"Yes, Khan."

The Navigator leads the way.

Then Fu Qinghai opened the communication channel again:

"Jostar, Camille, Satterfaran, Lin Yu, gather in the combat conference room!"
