40K: Where did the Emperor go?

Chapter 20 The Underground Black Market
Liu Bi returned to the tunnel to meet Commissar Kane, who asked anxiously, "How is it? Can you go out?"

Liu Bi shook his head: "No, they guard the door, we can't get out."

Liu Bi lied. He wanted to go to the No. [-] warehouse in the underground black market, but he didn't dare to go alone. He was afraid of any danger, so he wanted to take Commissar Kane to go with him.

Although he is an immortal, it is not impossible in Warhammer World to kill the immortal, and even if he does not kill him, he can just catch him and lock him up.

Political Commissar Kane has the great luck of the Emperor's blessing, and his individual combat power can compete with the Astartes. It is impossible to justify using him as a bodyguard.

Liu Bi: "We have to go back and see if there is any other way out. We have to hurry or they will come back and check and find that we are not in the cell."

Political Commissar Kane also worked with Asterta for a while, knowing the tracking ability of these super soldiers wearing power armor, they must run away before they find out that they have escaped.

Political Commissar Kane: "Follow me, there should be an abandoned hive dungeon below here, there must be another place to leave."

Born at the bottom of the hive capital, political commissar Feng Kane has a very high talent for finding paths in these channels, and led Liu Bi and Jurgen down the hive.

The two Asta Towers must have taken a fancy to the chaotic terrain here when they chose to nest in these crooked nest capitals, and reserved preparations for the final resistance if discovered by the local imperial army.

Walking through the pipeline, Liu Bi could see some strange graffiti marks on the walls of the pipeline from time to time.

Commissar Kane: "Be careful, we have entered the gathering place of the hive underground gang."

Liu Bi asked strangely: "Don't you say that this place should be an abandoned hive city?"

Political Commissar Kane: "Abandoned is officially abandoned. This kind of place is a natural shelter for those rotten people and criminals on the ground. There must be a place with an underground black market. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It is nothing new for these rotten people to establish gangs here."

Liu Bi decided to share what he had seen and heard at the door, and took out the card in his pocket: "I heard the transaction between the two Asta Towers and a mysterious person at the entrance."

So Liu Bi told everything that happened at the door. Of course, he didn't say that the card was stolen from Astartes, but that he picked it up on the table at the entrance.

Perhaps Kane was attracted by the coffin in the content, so Kane didn't realize how Liu Bi eavesdropped at close range without being discovered.

Commissar Kane: "That coffin is the reason why they appeared on this planet? What could it be?"

Liu Bi: "How about going and taking a look? They will find us sooner or later, and they will definitely hunt down us immediately. If we can get that thing, it might become a life-saving hole card."

Kane was attracted by the word "life-saving", and if he blindly escaped, he might be caught up and killed. With that thing, the opponent might throw a mouse.

Kane: "Then we have to find a leader here to inquire about the local situation and find the one in charge of the warehouse."

Kane asked Jurgen to take off his military uniform, and he took it off too. Wearing this outfit in the underground black market would be courting death and would be targeted.

Entering the black market in the underground hive is not so much a black market as it is a slum, full of "people" who lack hands, feet and five senses.

Kane got some ashes and oil stains on the two of them. It can't be too clean, it's better to be recognized as an outsider at the first time.

Jurgen didn't need it, he looked like he crawled out from under the hive.

Kane saw Liu Bi looking around, so he whispered to Liu Bi: "Don't look around, you will be noticed. This is a black market, so human organs and many shady transactions are very common here. Beggars and trafficked orphans who affect the city's appearance will also be thrown here."

Maybe I can change all this, Liu Bi couldn't help thinking like this, and then he felt his heart was heating up, if someone could see inside his body, they would find that Liu Bi's heart was glowing, and there was a golden streamer shining in his blood.

His eyes also changed involuntarily, he saw the scene of the future, that is, he and a black-haired boy stood on the height of the prosperous underground city and looked down at a completely different bustling scene below.

A bat symbol illuminating the dome brings such a sense of security to those below that even the most nefarious man on the planet looking up at that symbol will dissuade him from committing a crime.

Liu Bi thought: Who is that black-haired boy standing next to me?Why am I seeing this?What does this portend?That sign, is there a Batman in this world?

While Liu Bi was thinking wildly, Commissar Kane had already brought them to a bar.

It's a bit far-fetched to say that it's a bar, because it's open-air, and it's not considered open-air, because it's originally in a closed underground pipeline.

A long abandoned table in a bar, this table is rotten, there are holes here and there, and there is a creaking sound when things are placed on it.

Commissar Kane found a seat very skillfully and sat down, while Liu Bi and Jurgen stood behind him like two bodyguards.

Kane: "Have a drink."

A burly man blind in one eye asked, "I don't think you'd want to drink the 'second best' here, how about a mosaic? Ground man."

Kane smiled and said, "Is this recognized?"

"I'm Koska, the brothers below will save face and follow me to make a living."

Koska took out an unopened bottle of wine and poured a glass, then said to Liu Bi and Jurgen behind Kane, "Would you like a glass?"

Liu Bi glanced at the logo on the bottle: "From Kuiwen Winery?"

Koska poured two glasses and pushed them to Liu Bi and Jurgen: "Yo, you know how to do it?"

Liu Bi picked up the wine glass and looked at the bubbles inside: "No, the main reason is that I have smuggled a lot of this kind of wine for a while, and this is the first time I have drunk it."

Koska toasted: "The first toast is to the Golden Throne."

Political Commissar Kane also raised his glass: "To the Emperor."

Jurgen raised his glass: "To the Emperor."

Liu Bi raised his glass and said a different kind of respect from them: "I respect the fate of being able to drink together."

Facing Liu Bi's failure to respect the emperor first, Jurgen showed a dissatisfied expression, Kane took a sip of wine indifferently, and Koska showed a surprised look.
