Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Li held his breath and opened his eyes wide without blinking. He firmly believed that he had not moved just now, but in an instant the world changed into three forms in front of his eyes. After a while, he sighed and said: " So cool, is this The Matrix?”

"Don't compare it with that fake and boring story. Everything you see has nothing to do with The Matrix. You are in my body, you are in my brain, you are in my body." The spiritual world is not a computer virtual world.”

"You, you also know about The Matrix?" Li said with a long breath: "I just listened to your introduction, and I thought you were not from Earth. I thought I had traveled to a different world. Oh, I’m so relieved about this, it turns out I’m still on Earth.”

"If my estimate is correct, we are indeed on the earth, but it is not the earth you imagined. If the definition of the word 'travel' between you and me is not so different, then I can say with certainty , you have indeed traveled through time. The world you are now in is not the world you were familiar with before, but another world."

"Then how do you know about The Matrix? Are Hollywood blockbusters already broadcast across the world?"

"How long do you think you have been in my body?" The middle-aged man said with a sneer: "For you, it may just be that your eyesight goes dark and you wake up after a nap. But in fact, you are in my body. It must have been sleeping in my body for thousands of years. On the 300th year since you entered my body, I looked through all your memories out of boredom. I know everything you know, even I also know those things that you have long forgotten.”

"You, can you look through my memory?" Li was shocked. Some things in people's interactions have already formed a certain pattern. For example, people must wear clothes when they face each other. If one day a person If a person walks naked on the street and greets you, it will definitely make you feel very troubled. The same is true in terms of memory. According to middle-aged people, Li has no secrets left in front of this person. This makes Li felt as if he were naked, which was extremely unaccustomed to him.

"With just one thought, I can know everything you have experienced. I know your origins, the peaceful world you live in, the prehistoric planet also called Earth, and your peaceful but precious life. Don’t put on this expression. Now our souls are in the same body. You have no secrets for me, and I have no secrets for you. Do you remember the first battle you saw?”

"Ah, you're talking about the 'battle of the outer wall.'" Li frowned after finishing speaking. He didn't know what the "battle of the outer wall" was, but as he was talking, the word came out naturally.

"Yes, the Battle of the Outer Wall, you know this word. This is a good sign. It seems that you have learned how to learn from my memory. The Battle of the Outer Wall was the last one I participated in. Battle. What you saw was not a movie special effect or a ridiculous dream, but something that really happened. In that battle, someone attacked Sanguinius with great force, and I chose to protect him.”

"I know, I saw, uh, even felt it," Lee recalled that feeling. The word "saw" was no longer enough to describe his feelings about that battle. The period before Xin arrived. The memory was so clear, it was as if Lee had transformed into Robert E. Lee and re-participated in that battle. He understood the Battle of the Outer Wall so clearly and clearly, "Uh, Sanguinius is your friend? Why in the end?" To protect him with your body or even your life?”

"There is no friendship between Sanguinius and I. He and I served the Empire in different positions. He and I had never spoken a word or met him before that war. We had only heard about him. That's just a glorious name." Robert Lee saw the young man's doubts, and the giant said calmly: "I protect him just because he is very powerful, no, he is even the most powerful warrior in the empire. , he can protect the emperor better than me."

"Is that all?"

"It's just that," Robert Lee looked at the astonished Li, shook his head and smiled, "Don't look like you can't believe it. You must know that what I faced in the end was a difficult battle. At that time, those who survived Maybe it takes more luck than the one who fell. Okay, don't interrupt now, listen to me. I was hit by a powerful energy. It should be a curse. This power does not exist in the real world. Among them, he is an evil force from subspace, a kind of magic, witchcraft, or something else. What is incomprehensible is that your soul actually follows this huge and evil force. Entered into my body.”

Lee recalled the last scene on the battlefield, when Robert stood in front of Sanguinius and the fatal beam hit his broad back.

"You mean, I followed that beam of light and entered your body?"

"Yes," Robert nodded and continued: "At first, I thought this was some trick of the enemy, or a new and more terrifying force. After all, you invaded me with the power of the evil enemy. In the body, I wanted to wait for you to wake up, and then have a fair battle with you, a battle of will and soul, to see who among us is the winner in the end." Robert shrugged and said. But you slept for too long. In the 300th year, I looked through your memories out of boredom and learned everything about you. Then I understood that you were not some kind of trick of the enemy, you were just Unlucky victims, ordinary people from another dimension.”

"I see," Li nodded, "So now that I'm awake, what are we going to do?"

"Your reaction is very sensitive, boy. Unfortunately, it's not what we want to do, but what I want to do with you. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I want to teach you and teach you everything I know. They are all taught to you, and you must work hard and study hard with all your strength.”

"I don't quite understand this."

"The last thing that hit me during the Battle of the Outer Wall was a curse that trapped my soul in my body. I was not dead, but I was not alive. My body became the curse of my soul. Cage. And everything my comrades have done to me has greatly prolonged this process, but no matter what, my soul will gradually weaken due to this curse, and you will be lucky or unlucky. You will not be affected by this curse, so when my soul dies, you will survive alone in my body. I don’t know what will happen to you after that. You will be imprisoned forever, or wake up. , no matter which point, it is not a lucky thing for you, and we must prepare for the latter. "

"I, I don't quite understand. My thoughts are a little confused. Things are too strange." Li stopped talking, thought for a moment, and then said: "Let me sum it up. What you mean is that you are going to die, and I will Will replace you, so you have to educate me in advance so that I can continue to serve your emperor instead of you? "

"Yes, that's it."

"Whether I will continue to work for your emperor instead of you in the future, or whether I will continue to be imprisoned, it will be an unfortunate thing for me?"

"Not an emperor in the ordinary sense as you understand it, but a divine emperor who belongs to mankind." Robert said seriously: "In your previous world, the emperor was just a person standing at the top of the ruling class. But in this world My world is different. The emperor not only rules the empire, but is also a savior, leader, and prophet. His power surpasses even all the gods in history. Without the emperor, mankind would not be able to win the great renaissance, and this world would still be alive. The reason why humans can still stand in the dangerous galaxy is because of the great God Emperor."

"Okay, our emperor," Li didn't know the emperor now. He had never felt the great will, nor had he heard the legendary stories like the Bible, so he could respond with a relaxed attitude and shrugged indifferently. , "So back to my question, it is my misfortune to continue to be imprisoned by your body, but why is it also misfortune to continue to work for our God Emperor?"

"This is not an easy job," Robert smiled, with both fatigue and pride in his smile. "If you go out in the future, you will know. As an Astarte monk, We are powerful, perfect, and have eternal life, but it also requires many sacrifices.”

Li was stunned, then shook his head and laughed, "Are you kidding? Why should I do these things at your mercy?"

"Because you are an outsider, you must understand that as long as I have a thought, you will disappear in terrible pain." After saying this, Robert just snapped his fingers, and Li fell convulsingly. On the ground, unimaginable pain hit Li in an instant, "I can make you experience unimaginable pain and torture," Robert said coldly: "So you'd better know how to obey and respect. Now, hurry up Stand up, you have wasted a thousand years, there is no more time for you to waste! First, you have to read all the books here."
