How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 154 Can’t you save some face for Crow Crow?
Hastings believes that if this little girl can really tamper with other people's consciousness without knowing it, then the first victim who appears in front of him is likely to be the director of the Ultramarines think tank, Varro De Gris.

——This is a typical inference derived from the results.Putting aside the operational issues, if this were not the case, according to Mr. Inquisitor's own logic, it would be difficult for him to explain why Diglis handed over his files to such a person so easily...

Hastings squinted his eyes and stared at the little girl in front of him who was completely huddled in the wheelchair for a while, and finally chose a word carefully: heresy that is very confusing in appearance.

He decided to stick to his "heretical" view: to doubt everything worthy of doubt, to uncover all their whitewashing, and to get the final truth. This is the job of an inquisitor.This attitude of always doubting something around him (as well as other unavoidable annoying things as an inquisitor) has indeed caused some damage to his interpersonal relationships, but he himself believes that if he wants to act for the empire, On the road of loyalty, things like this are always necessary.

Hastings's face still ached from the wounds he received when Shame was captured, and there was nothing he could do about it.Indeed, as Fujimaru Ritsuka guessed, he has some specialties in the prophecy system, minored in some telekinesis systems, and knew some taboo knowledge related to subspace and demons due to professional needs, but he himself has never He thought about trying it himself - but all the above magical powers had no effect on a lump that sometimes made his vision blurry and difficult to focus on.

After choosing to agree to Fujimaru Ritsuka's invitation, all the constraints on him, including the black stone shackles, were quickly (reluctantly) lifted by the space warrior wearing the winged helmet.The weapons Hastings had previously carried were not returned to him, but he was not surprised that he had to remain unarmed.Shortly afterwards, he received some swelling healing spray from the Night Lord, who was clearly not in a good mood.

Fujimaru Ritsuka who made such a request may have wanted to take this as a friendly signal, but the Night Lord who performed this task obviously didn't think so.The Astartes found a way to get the irritating spray into Hastings's eyes with great precision, apparently hoping to make the latter make a fool of himself and enjoy it.Hastings did not give the other party this chance. The mist of the medicine stung his eyeballs, but he did not say a word and insisted on glaring at him with his other intact eye.

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't notice the specific process.At the time of the incident, she was talking to Lan Malok on the other side about something else.But when she turned around, she immediately understood the tense atmosphere, and complained to Savita: "Don't always be ready to bully newcomers, otherwise you deserve to be hated."

"That's not the case. I think everyone likes me." Under Hastings's angry gaze, the calm Savita walked away with the jar as if nothing happened.

"That's because they know that you will always choose to collude with them in the end." Fujimaru Ritsuka fiddled with the direction of the wheelchair with some difficulty. "Isn't that right, Jeanne Alter? A while ago, you kept stealing food from the refrigerator in the middle of the night. Are you two the ones who made the coffee mousse cake?”

Savita himself had no reaction, but the backpack on his power armor suddenly made a loud operating noise.The former was originally very confident that this matter could be smoothed out, but the friendly forces fell behind at the critical moment.After this, he had no choice but to pretend that it had nothing to do with him and began to look to the sky with a guilty conscience.

Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have no intention of pursuing this matter further. He just shrugged and said to Hastings: "Look, they are actually no different from ordinary people."

"...What?" The judge obviously did not follow Fujimaru Ritsuka's train of thought.

The little girl in the wheelchair took the trouble to explain while turning her car: "Even the captain of the Midnight Lords will like to eat snacks, and will feel that it is embarrassing to say that 'I like to eat snacks', and will try to Just find a solution in your own way between the two things mentioned above, even though this solution is not worth advocating. Even if they are traitors, their way of thinking is often no different from that of normal humans."

"The traitors deserve to die." Hastings said without thinking. "I don't need to understand what they are thinking. The loyal ones just need to know this."

"Well, do you think so too? I understand." Fujimaru Ritsuka stopped and turned to Savita again thoughtfully, "The situation is not optimistic, Savita Lyon. If the current empire If everyone here thinks this way, I’m afraid you really have to go on the Atonement Expedition on the battlefield until you die.”

"What does it matter? I think my current salary is good." The person involved seemed very indifferent, "What's more, there is no 'retirement life' in the Astartes." "That's not what I meant, First Company Commander . What I mean is that you almost have to think about the options for your original body and the other 5000-odd brothers. My small ship will definitely not be able to accommodate all of you, and the High Lords Council will explode."

"Let me remind you, we are originally a rebel legion." Saiweita narrated very calmly, and it was impossible to hear any tendency from his tone on this matter. "When facing a group of crooked criminals, You should curb some of your excess compassion.”

"Although he is a traitor Astartes, but speaking of the facts, I agree with what he said." I didn't know the previous situation, and selectively ignored a phrase that probably shouldn't appear in this sentence (your family After the original body), Hastings began to move his limbs and commented purely based on the literal meaning, "If he were a real inquisitor, he would never allow so many 'unstable factors' to appear in the empire."

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought about this sentence with a slightly uneasy expression, and seemed to hesitate, but she finally sighed and did not make any positive answer.

"Let's discuss this issue in a place where we can sit down and talk safely." She just said, "Since you have decided to board the ship, we should also conduct certain information exchanges. These comparisons... um... Let's talk about it slowly, little by little, preferably with some hot tea to soothe the mood..."

Arjuna, who couldn't stand it any longer, finally emerged from his spiritual state and continued to help the Master push the wheelchair, which was difficult for him to turn in one direction. By the way, he sidestepped the two gangsters in the room and kept them in place, not at all. The Astartes who know how to take care of people take a look at each other.This sight startled Hastings again, but he had seen a similar scene at the Psionics Council a few hours ago, so he didn't have any reaction.

After leaving the interrogation room, Ranmarok looked like he didn't want to spend another second with Savita.Obviously, even the Fire Wing Grand Instructor's patience was exhausted in this ups and downs of the "interrogation process."He briefly stated that he would call others to discuss the proposal given by Fujimaru Ritsuka, and then quickly turned around and disappeared into the corridor.The remaining people, except for Hastings, all looked like they were accustomed to this kind of development, and walked towards the transfer room indifferently.

Due to some needs for information exchange and material delivery, the Lion's Mane's transmission room has temporarily set up a transmission point directly to the ground of Parmenio, located in the open space in the atrium of Tyros Cathedral.Although the physical sensation of subspace teleportation is not very good, it is still a great comfort to Fujimaru Ritsuka that he does not need to fly Thunder Eagle Airlines.In just a few words, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Arjuna, Hastings, and Savita, who had been alert to the Inquisitor's movements, successfully returned to the Storm Frontier.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Asclepius did not come back and was obviously still in the temporary medical organization set up locally.This made Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had escaped a lecture, let out a long sigh of relief.

Afterwards, she immediately said that she could also do her part as a landlord here, and in the process, she would also introduce to him the student Kaelia who would be entrusted to him in the future.But Arjuna protested clearly, and the entire process was reduced to introducing Kaelia to Inquisitor Hastings and finding a room where he could stay.

——At this time, she still didn't realize how much explanation she needed to make immediately after seeing Kaelia (and some things around her).

Fujimaru Ritsuka may be destined to be overworked today.
