Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 980 The gift of communication
"Like I said, psionics are extremely dangerous."

"As we speak, there may be a child born under the oppression of a warlord who has awakened unstable psychic talents. Then this child will go berserk because his parents were beaten by the warlord's lackeys, which will lead to terrible consequences... "

The Emperor was still talking, but he was not as excited as before. He sat back in his chair and gradually fell into silence.

Qin Mo didn't say anything either.

Until a few minutes later, the emperor suddenly said: "Do you think psychic powers are dangerous?"

Qin Mo was stunned by this question, and then nodded subconsciously: "This is undoubtedly very dangerous."

The emperor nodded and was silent for half a minute before speaking: "As long as we agree."

Qin Mo looked at the emperor in confusion.

The Emperor was aware of the dangers of psionic energy and the Warp, and he must have thought about it more than once. He may have even witnessed terrible psionic disasters more than once, and he had already made up his mind about psionic energy.

In this case, why were you so excited just now, as if you were aware of the dangers of psychic energy for the first time, and witnessed the occurrence of psychic disaster for the first time?
Qin Mo rarely felt this kind of doubt when getting along with the emperor. The emperor's words now really made him confused.

"Since psychic energy is so dangerous...ahem." The emperor suddenly spoke again, with a thoughtful look on his face, "I think we should think of ways to prevent psychic disasters from happening."

This is also natural.

Qin Mo temporarily suppressed his doubts about the emperor's words just now, and then worked with the emperor to find a solution.

"I am actually as aware of the dangers of the Warp as you are, as I told you when we were chatting in our cabin in the Himalayas."

"So I have long been thinking about how to guard against the threats posed by unstable psychic talents, and I have several plans. It's just that it is a bit difficult to deal with psychic related matters through material technology. My plan for the time being can only be Eliminate the psychic reaction after detecting it, but cannot prevent it in advance. "

"But after we became allies, I sometimes thought that maybe you could use your psychic powers and my physical technology to create something that can detect and directly eliminate unstable psykers."

Qin Mo talked about his thoughts.

The corners of the emperor's mouth rose imperceptibly, and then he nodded: "You and I have the same idea."

"We can do this easily when we are working on the Thunder Warrior improvement plan." Qin Mo nodded, and suddenly wondered in his heart whether the emperor's excited words just now were to achieve the current situation, that is, he and he were together Research anti-psychic stuff.

But Qin Mo immediately felt that something was wrong, because this kind of thing could be done naturally. The emperor should know that he did not need to get excited and talk about it just to propose an inevitable cooperation between allies. project.

"If the device for detecting psykers is completed, I will immediately conduct a test on Terra. We must find all psykers." As he said, the emperor glanced at Qin Mo, "If I If there are psykers among the candidates for the Custodes, I will not hesitate to eliminate them along with their souls."

"Of course, it's a bit dangerous for a psyker to become a candidate for the Forbidden Army." Qin Mo nodded again.

The Emperor was silent again, and after a moment he spoke suddenly as before: "There may be psykers among your people, if..."

"It may indeed exist." Qin Mo said without hesitation, "Of course..."

Halfway through, Qin Mo suddenly realized that the emperor was actually waiting for him here.

The emperor wanted to propose a plan to screen and deal with psykers, and then have this plan be strictly implemented in the Himalayas, the Dragon Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom. Of course, it would only screen the Himalayas and the noble children who surrendered to the warlords. If it's not enough, he also has to screen the civilians who belong to him, Qin Mo.

So this is actually a discussion about whether Qin Mo can accept the screening and processing of psychics among his own people.

Realizing this, Qin Mo quickly realized that this was not necessarily the emperor's own idea, and it might have been suggested to him by Malcador.

This time it is very likely that the Emperor was used as the messenger by Malcador. "No..." Qin Mo had a look of helplessness on his face, "If you want to screen for psychics, just say so directly. I don't protect psychics. Why are you pretending to be angry and excited and talking so much just to get around me?" Such a big circle proposes a matter? "

"..." The emperor remained silent.

When Qin Mo was about to speak, the emperor stood up and said, "Since you agree, it's settled."

"No." Qin Mo stood up and blocked the door, "You must tell me your psychological activities, otherwise I will not cooperate with you!"

"Why do you want to know my mental activities? You can read minds. You clearly know what I think." The emperor frowned.

"No, I have to say it." Qin Mo still refused to get out of the way, "If you encounter similar things in the future, as long as you think of today's confession, you, the Riddler, will realize that some things don't need to go around in circles and let others guess what you are thinking. What, then tell me what you have to say. I have been thinking about what you are going to say for a long time, and you must not let me think about it a second time!"

The Emperor fell silent.

The two were in a stalemate for about five minutes.

This was not the first time the Emperor had been in this situation, but if someone else had asked him to confess, he would have used his psychic powers to solve the problem rather than remain in a difficult situation.

Since he stopped revealing his true feelings to others, no one could make him speak out unwillingly, just because if he didn't want to, he wouldn't have to explain anything to anyone.

But... recalling what Malcador said, and considering the possible super-light speed of matter that may appear in this cooperation in the future...

The emperor roared in his heart: Malcador, what are you doing? Do the Terrawatts need you to blend in when debugging the production line? Why aren't you where you should be?

"I, I think that we are a cooperative relationship after all. Screening and dealing with your people is a serious matter. If this matter were raised directly, you probably, probably wouldn't agree so happily. Maybe."

"I discussed it with Macado, and we felt that with your personality, you might not agree to this happily, so he asked me to be more tactful and explain the pros and cons."

"..."

Seeing that the emperor suddenly fell silent again, Qin Mo stopped pressing forward and opened a way out of the secret room.

Before the emperor left, Qin Mo said: "I do value the people who follow me, and I do have a strong sense of morality, but I will not ignore everything just to pursue self-satisfaction on a moral level. If there is one thing that requires I make difficult decisions, and I make them rationally, so it’s not right for you and Makado to think that I won’t agree to this.”

The Emperor nodded.

"Next time if something similar happens, express your inner thoughts directly like I did, say everything simply and directly, and don't create unnecessary communication barriers, okay?" Qin Mo said.

The Emperor thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.

“It’s a gift to understand the importance of communication and to be able to overcome communication barriers.”

The door of the secret room was suddenly pushed open, and Malcador entered the secret room following the voice.

Then Malcador glanced at the two of them.

"I have already set up the production line for the Terravat people."

"Now don't embarrass the people I follow and serve. Let's go back to the Himalayas first."
