Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 44: Unspeakable Ritual

Uh--

The villain's fist softened.

The dagger pierced his trachea accurately!

He covered his neck and took a deep breath, which made a hissing sound like an old bellows.

Soon, the villain fell down.

The female worker saw the man standing behind the villain.

He was wearing worn work clothes and looked energetic.

"Are you okay? Can you stand up?"

The man spoke in a gentle voice and held out his hand to her.

The female worker took his hand and stood up.

The pain made her unable to stand steadily, and she almost leaned into the other person's arms.

"Thank you!"

She wiped her tears.

"My name is Marley. Luckily I discovered it in time, otherwise it would be dangerous."

"Mr. Marley, I don't know how to thank you... By the way, my name is Alila..."

The worker, Alila, was almost incoherent.

"Beautiful Lady Alila, this is what I am supposed to do"

This was the first time Alila was addressed as such.

She never had a sense of existence.

Her coworkers always called her by the wrong name.

The factory supervisor always called her: "Hey! You! Waste!"

Since her parents died of exhaustion in the factory, she hasn't been cared about for a long time.
Maybe when she dies one day, no one will notice that someone is missing.

And today, Alila felt cared for again.

She looked at Marley and thought he was so gentlemanly and gentle.

Especially those blue eyes, which make people feel trustful.

"Where is your home? Can I take you back?"

"I really don't know how to thank you! I'm in Area C43, Room 502..."

Marley frowned:
“C43, it’s still a long way from here, and you can’t delay your injury for too long.

I live nearby, I'll help you get bandaged there..."

Alila subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she looked at Marley's eyes, she nodded involuntarily.

"Okay, thank you!"

It would be better to go to him to get it bandaged.

If you don’t deal with it quickly, the wound will become more serious and affect tomorrow’s work, which will be troublesome!

She must not lose that job or she would starve to death!
"Just hold on, we'll be there soon."

Marai helped Alila leave the place and walked towards his residence.

Behind the two men, the villain was struggling, holding his neck, and uttering words so subtle that they could not be heard.

"Help...someone save me!"

Unfortunately, no one could hear his cry for help.

The suffocation became more severe and he knew he was dying.

He was filled with fear and regret:

God Emperor, Governor General, please someone come and save me!

He looked at the backs of Marley and Alila, his body softened and he lost his breath.

he died.

Alila followed Marley along the winding and complicated corridor and finally arrived at the door of a dormitory.

For some reason, she smelled a fishy odor and felt vaguely uneasy.

"stinky!"

Marley covered his nose and cursed:

"Those filthy fellows never wipe themselves, they stink like corpses!"

He looked at Alila apologetically: "Just bear with it for a while, I'll bandage you up and send you back immediately!"

"Yes!" Alila agreed and followed Marley into the house.

As soon as she entered the room, a strange fragrance hit her face, and then the door behind her locked with a click.

The room ahead was completely dark and I couldn't see anything.

For some reason, she felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart, and her hair stood on end!

In the darkness, Marley's voice appeared in time and comforted:
"Don't be afraid. My co-workers have gone to work the night shift. Now there are only two of us here..."

Alila felt relieved again.

Marley saved her, and she believed that this gentle man would never hurt her again.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll get the lamp."

Marley let go of her hand and stepped into the darkness.

The community had long been without electricity, and was lit only by dim light from fluorescent light strips in the building's passageways.

So there is no possibility of electricity and electric lights in the house.

Things like lights are only available in the royal court area and the residential areas for administrative officials.

As for lamps, they are also very luxurious items.

Just when Alila was wondering why Marley had expensive lamps.

He had fetched the lamp.

The shadow of Marley walked not far from Alila and reminded her kindly:
"Close your eyes first, then open them slowly, so that the light won't hurt your eyes."

Hearing this, Alila quickly closed her eyes.

"Mr. Marley, I, I closed my eyes!"

Marley gently turned the switch of the lamp, and with a crisp "click" sound, warm yellow light instantly emanated, illuminating the entire room.

"You can open your eyes now!" There was a hint of uncontrollable excitement in Marley's voice.

Alila slowly opened her eyes.

Under the yellow light, she saw Marley standing in the middle of the room, staring at her.

And that horrible, indescribable ritual behind him!

The whole house was almost soaked in blood!
Nailed to the wall were the skinned bodies of several women, their flesh and blood mangled, placed in various twisted postures.

Some of the women were still alive, wriggling like maggots, but their vocal cords were cut and they could only utter silent wails.

Extending outward from Marley is an inverted pentagram array drawn in blood, and the confusing symbols on it are frightening.

In key locations throughout the city, there were also piles of baby corpses, women's heads, and internal organs.

This place has become hell!
Alila's fear reached its extreme. She wanted to call for help but couldn't make a sound. She could only cover her mouth helplessly.

She didn't even have the strength to turn around and run away.

"What beautiful works! You can appreciate their beauty, can't you?"

Marai opened his arms and showed Alila his most perfect work.

The magic circle also emits a faint blue light, which flickers and rises and falls regularly like breathing.

He walked over, gently held her hand, and walked towards the magic circle:
"This is my gift to the omniscient and omnipotent Lord of All Eyes. He will definitely like it!"

"Mr. Ma... Mr. Malai, please... let me go..."

Alila was so frightened that she could hardly utter a complete sentence.

She met Alai's blue eyes, her face full of pleading and helplessness.

At this moment she was like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Marley raised his hand and stroked Alila's face, tucking her hair behind her ears: "You can't leave, you are the best gift I give to the Lord of Ten Thousand Eyes!"

As he stroked her, Alila felt her body stiffen, unable to move.

She looked at the twisting and squirming women on the wall, as if she saw her own fate.

Fear overwhelmed her and tears flowed like a flood.

"no, do not want!"

"My poor little lamb, don't be afraid, sit down and rest..."

Marley gently wiped Alila's tears with a silk scarf, his eyes full of concern and comfort.

He pulled her to sit on the broken bed against the wall.

“You are different from those women, how can I bear to kill you?

On the contrary, I will grant you the most sublime power from the Lord of the Many Eyes!"

Marley turned around and walked quickly to the other corner of the room, carefully taking out an object covered with black cloth from a wooden box.

He suddenly tore open the black cloth, and the azure light instantly overflowed, so charming!
