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

Chapter 281 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills
Death Watch, a Medal of Honor in addition to the standard livery, with a winged sword logo floating brightly on a dark green background on one shoulder plate, a Primaris Space Marine, one of the members of the kill team on the Shadow Hammer.

At that moment, Sahar, who was hiding in the deeper shadows, had put his hand on the handle of the bolt gun at his waist in the most unobtrusive way possible. Moreover, he bet that the other party must have done similar things from an angle that he could not see. There was no real similar sound around him, but in his auditory hallucination, the opponent's plasma pistol had begun to accumulate energy for firing.

The Astartes reacted quickly, and Sahar knew this firsthand; their new, larger cousins ​​ten thousand years later reacted even faster, and Sahar had been forced to do it personally for some time before. Get this clear. Theoretically, it only takes another 0.2 seconds for him to hit the opponent in the head with the gun in his hand from a distance of thirty meters, but theoretically, the opponent is faster——

——In actual operation, he does not have this 0.2 seconds.

"'Why am I here'?" Fujimaru Ritsuka - who sounded exactly like Judge Wilchak who was completely ridiculous and impatient about what was happening now - reacted quickly to the dismay of the other two people present. The person's hand on the gun hesitated a little, "I thought this was a problem that could be understood at a glance, or was it that the 'too many' so-called 'useless decorations' on my body were too attractive to you?" Attention, you didn’t see this huge piece of garbage behind me that was difficult to recycle and sorted, but surprisingly reappeared on my boat?”

Sahar suddenly felt that it would be a very tempting option to get rid of the hesitation that had just occurred and draw a gun and shoot the gibbering girl in the back. But he tried his best to resist the urge and did nothing. In comparison, the other party was obviously more confused because of the smooth and logical response made by "Vilchak" in front of him. Sahar could smell it in the dark, but he was not naive enough to think that the alarm could be dismissed.

His hand was still on the handle of the gun, and presumably the other person was too.

"I don't mean to offend, respected Lord Inquisitor. If my wording makes you unhappy, I apologize for it." The death guard from the Dark Angel said this, his tone was polite, but he did not lower his guard, "I was just temporarily I didn’t realize it—shouldn’t you be negotiating with the representatives sent by the Imperial Saint on the bridge?”

This is a sign of submission, but it is also a further temptation. Sahar thought that perhaps he should take advantage of the opponent's wavering in the test and take action immediately to physically eliminate this hidden danger for the entire plan, but to his surprise, in the next moment, the power in his body A locked the joints without his intention and automatically turned on the silent mode.

Immediately afterwards, a signal automatically connected to his communicator, and Savita's voice came from inside: "The eldest lady cannot speak to you in the current situation. She urgently needs to know the identity of the person in front of her. Whose name is it?”

The scene in front of him did not allow Sahar to think too much. He replied obediently: "Colan Cadmus. We may be 'colleagues' in name, but unfortunately, the friendship between us only ends at That’s it.”

If Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to get more specific information from him, Sahar was helpless. Although he was also stationed on this ship for a period of time as a fake member of the Death Watch Killing Team, he was still an enemy who was always on guard. He might be able to secretly study the secret passages on this black ship within the scope of his allowed activities, but it would be difficult to produce any significant results on this issue, let alone those who know him more often as regulators. colleagues.

While he was answering Sevita, Wilchak, played by Ritsuka Fujimaru, was also answering the only uncertain factor present: "It should be like this, and it should look like this now. Across the screen With the wireless communication signal, the children of Hastings cannot tell the difference between the real person and the holographic image, and Eliud and Rosalin will handle all the affairs on the bridge for me.”

Sahar knew both names. These are the two interrogators whom Judge Wilchak relies on most, and she will always take at least one of them with her no matter what she does. If Fujimaru Ritsuka's so-called transformation technique can indeed enable her to read Wilchak's current superficial thoughts, then she must have been arguing over remote communications with these two trustworthy assistants while Wilchak, It is natural to read these two names.

It's not just her words that can be faked by her. Now, the face of Fujimaru Ritsuka that looks nothing like her own, the impatience but the suppressed unhappy emotion due to having to do it, is also similar to that of Wilchak. I am exactly the same: "As for this loser who should have died but didn't... I admit that I 'came here in person without notifying anyone' was a not-so-good decision made in desperation. . But I am lucky that your arrival somewhat makes up for it, Brother Cadmus. If you are not performing other more important tasks, I hope you can accompany me next time."

"Of course, my lord. It is my duty." There was no emotion in Death Watch's tone, and he did not take his hand away from the weapon, but he adjusted his position and posture in the corridor and began to Clearly shown to others.

There is no doubt that this is a threat that has been put on the table. And it is obviously self-evident that this is to threaten someone present.

Sahar's power armor lock was released at this moment, also without his own will. It was impossible for him not to notice that his power armor mecha soul didn't listen to him anymore, but he didn't spend too much energy to pay attention to it - because he didn't expect Fujimaru Ritsuka to suddenly invite Cadmus to accompany him. , now he really has to think about Mita to restrain himself desperately in order to control the desire to draw a gun and shoot.

"I advise you not to act rashly, I'm watching you." Savita's gloating voice came out from the communicator, and was completely trapped in his armor that turned on the silent mode, "If you want to do something bad, I’m afraid the power armor you’re wearing is about to rebel.”

"When I get back, I will 'talk' to you about this issue." Sahar gritted his teeth in his armor.

They all know that the "talk" between the Night Lords rarely ends without bloodshed.

"Then I'll be waiting, provided you can come back in good health." Sevita sounded quite happy about his misfortune, and his relaxed attitude in the face of threats was also one of his arrogances, "I sincerely hope, If you haven't changed your mind by then - by the way, I should record you saying that so you can hear for yourself later how stupid you sounded when you said it."

Sahar calmly tried to turn off the channel in the communicator, but it didn't work. No matter how many times he tried, his efforts were only reflected on the eyepiece: the servo system persisted in projecting the words "insufficient authority" to him again and again, and nothing else. No change. His power armor must have been overpowered by some means during the hours he was unconscious. He didn't know that such technology existed, so it surprised him, but considering his status as a prisoner, it should be reasonable. In the few dozen seconds he was fighting with his communicator and Sevata on the other side of the radio wave, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was pretending to be powerful, had already relied on a little information leaked from Wilchak's surface thinking to finalize a sound-sounding plan with Cadmus. The course of action seems to be like this: Go to the middle deck, go to Vault No. 44 to take out some things that must be used in the next trip, and then head to the special prison where Mita Ashen is imprisoned— —Considering the existence of the unstable factor Sahar, it is best for them to avoid being seen as much as possible during the process. The fewer people who know about this matter, the better:

This man should be dead, at least that's what Wilchak assured Chaldea. In theory, this matter should end here, but the Emperor's Dream, which is currently not open to the public, is still hanging quietly in Baal's orbit as an iconic pilgrimage attraction. For an organization that has the energy to launch the legendary Emperor's ship, no one can bet on how powerful its members are. If the other party finds out that he is "lying", it will definitely be another bad debt.

Wilchak is indeed a powerful Lord Inquisitor and has been operating in several nearby star sectors for more than two hundred years, but this does not mean that she can easily fight against other organizations in the empire. A soldier automatically wins with one death. Avoiding conflict is a rational choice in this situation, but…

The moment he confirmed that the silent mode, which was not under his control, was still on, Sahar hurriedly spoke: "Vilchak wouldn't think so. That old witch is completely arrogant and crazy when she's not pretending. Proud woman——"

"You have thought very carefully on this issue." Cadmus commented without any praise or criticism in his tone. He behaved like any Dark Angel should, and it was difficult for others to understand his mood and thinking with just a few words.

Sahar wasn't sure if Fujimaru Ritsuka heard his reminder. So far, the only voice coming from the communicator belongs to Sevatar. But obviously, even if Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't hear it, she was aware of the suspicion still stubbornly hidden beneath Cadmus's calm words.

Wilczak raised her eyebrows and showed the same affectation of surprise that she would have shown in social situations. "My God, I thought you would be pleased with this. I finally listened to Brother Publius's advice to me over and over again, didn't I? I know that you Dark Angels have a special liking for exploring various mysteries, but by the Emperor, Brother Cadmus, don't you have a more appropriate place to release this nature of yours?"

Obviously, during the negotiations, Judge Wilchak's thinking was more divergent than most people imagined, or perhaps Fujimaru Ritsuka was really good at searching for useful information for herself in the resonance of the séance. All in all, the girl was gradually learning more than Sahar initially expected.

When she said this, her tone was aggressive and condemning. This makes her sound very "Vilchak" but not very "Fujimaru Ritsuka". If Sahar hadn't witnessed with his own eyes the occurrence of "Fujimaru Ritsuka transformed into Wilchak after putting on a weird exoskeleton armor" and was sure that he had not lost his sight in the following period, Even he had to doubt that the judge in front of him was genuine.

Cadmus clearly confirmed something with this, and no longer questioned the decision of "Vilchak" in front of him that was not in line with his character. He bowed his head to show his submission. The three people in the shadow of the black ship finally began to move according to their planned route. .

Of course, Sahar was not in a good mood to be caught in the middle of the formation again, with the dark angels watching behind him. In addition, the silent mode on his power armor has not been released. Fortunately, he had nothing to say to anyone other than Mita on this ship, so Cadmus probably didn't realize there was something wrong with his silence.

"I don't think it's a good idea to let this prisoner go to visit." Their journey was not very silent. At least Cadmus was still trying to figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing through insinuations. "I don't mean to criticize your decision, Lord Judgment." Officer, I just want to consider your safety and have to seek advice on how to deal with some situations that will inevitably happen after that."

This gave Sahar some bad premonitions, but he couldn't ask without saying anything. And Wilchak, played by Ritsuka Fujimaru, just smiled at the front of the team: "There is no need for any 'disposal suggestions' here - after he reappeared, he once again begged me to be with his miserable traveling companion on the road of betrayal. Let’s meet. Considering that he did bring back some information about that little girl’s film, I think I can let him go on a clear journey.”

This is a clear statement that doesn’t require any emotional intelligence to understand. Even though he knew that the person speaking was not the real Judge Wilchak, Sahar still stopped in shock. In the next second, the sensor built into the power armor faithfully transmitted the touch of the gun muzzle against his back to his brain through the neural interface.

"I can understand that you think this is fun, my lord. To be honest, I think so too." Cadmus' calm voice revealed a helplessness that he had known for a long time, "But I still hope that you will not do it right now." It would not be wise for your safety to randomly irritate this prisoner."

The final authority over the power armor is not in his hands, and Sahar still cannot make a sound to the outside world. The plasma pistol against his back also prevented him from acting rashly. He could only use his last bit of reason to restrain his desire to take physical violent measures, and shouted excitedly and angrily from within his armor: "What is this?" mean?!"

"Keep your voice down, I'm not deaf. Who are you asking me?" Saiweita's calm voice seemed particularly annoying at this moment. "Just a reminder, if you really want to see the person you want to see again, it's best to Please cooperate and play out this scene to the end. Now, I’m going to remove your mute mode.”

Sahar took a deep breath, and the next moment after the corresponding reminder light at the edge of his vision went out, he almost shouted out with revenge:
"What happened to the witch?!"

Before anyone else could react, Sahar noticed but failed to notice that the volume on the communicator had been turned down significantly. After the mute mode was lifted, only Sahar could still hear the giggles transmitted by Savita through the radio waves:
"To be honest, when the word 'last leg' is so obvious, you should worry more about yourself."
