Corax's words silenced Chiye Mengxiang. She put the raven back on her head and led the ghost champions away, but in the end she still said as she walked:
"Some things have to be done, don't they?"
"...I don't know where Curz got lucky to meet such good boys as you," Corax said with a sigh, he glanced at the darkness behind him, where there was a tall shadow swaying, "Forget it, Now let's talk in detail about the upcoming itinerary."
"Of course, Uncle Corax, but we need to go back to New Nostromo first, the Legion needs to receive new recruits."
"..."
Ten minutes later, Sevita returned to his room just as he put down the chainsaw spear, when he heard a strange noise from the inner room, like some kind of squirrel gnawing on nuts, which made Sevita utter a sound. Sighing, raising his voice slightly, he said:
"For the Emperor's sake or someone else's sake, would you please stop snuggling up in my room and eating my biscuits?"
"You have terrible taste in food, Sy."
"I don't think a man who enjoys hanging corpses in his room is entitled to judge me on the matter, my lord."
"I've quit doing that kind of thing a long time ago, Sai," said Midnight Haunter, who ate the last biscuit of Sevita, and he casually rubbed his hands on the latter's mattress, watching Prince Crows' eyes slightly Twitching, "They will return to New Nostromo for a rest, and you and the other Night Lords can also go there to relax."
"...Can I understand that you are showing off to me?"
"of course can."
Midnight Haunted leaned against the wall, crossed his legs, and looked at Sevita with a smug smile. The latter rolled his eyes and was about to take out the biscuits he had hidden and eat them.
Chapter 182 Under midnight, death is still alive (33)
With the defeat of the giant Hive Mothership, the entire Hive Fleet surrounding the Baal Galaxy fell into chaos, most of them evacuated, but a small part of the Hive Fleet directly turned into ignorant beasts. Genetic instinct began to plunder biomass in various galaxies, waiting for the reconnection of the hive will... But it is Dante, the leader of the Blood Angels Chapter, who should be troubled by these problems. Outside here, the fleets of other joint headquarters have already set off to return for repairs.
Nightfall is naturally no exception, and due to the psionic scream of the giant hive mothership, the crew members on the battleship suffered heavy losses. Although the entire battleship has undergone automation and nano-transformation, there are still many The ordinary crew members remained, and it was therefore necessary to arrange mental treatment and decommissioning for those who were seriously injured, and then to replenish new personnel.
After a flash of light, Nightfall and several other Night Lords ships returned to their home world, Nostromo.
"..."
Talos silently looked towards the beautiful planet below. She was surrounded by pure white clouds, and below the clouds was filled with azure sapphire-like oceans, and the land was covered by large expanses of greenery. , the cities built by humans are scattered among them.There is only one large space station in the orbit of the planet, and there are not many weapons on it, which is weaker than those hedgehogs in the empire universe.
If you look at it by the standards of the empire, this planet can definitely be regarded as a garden world.
"It's a beautiful place, isn't it?" Sevtar's voice came from behind Talos. He looked at Talos who turned around, handed over a data terminal, and said:
"The 'travel brochures' that our good sisters want to give us are mainly the laws of New Nostromo and some points of attention on local customs. Of course, they will also send people to accompany us."
"They're not my sisters," Talos said blankly. His mood is complicated now, with a bit of resentment. "To be honest, Sevita, I'm very jealous now."
"You think too much about the past, Talos," Sevtar shrugged, he patted Talos on the shoulder, and said:
"I won't go to the surface with you this time, I'm going to visit the Human Revolutionary Union in another universe."
"How can you move around at will?"
Sevita didn't speak, but just held up a document with a blue diamond-shaped logo printed on it... After Sevtar left with a smug smile, the dark-faced Talos spat in the direction he left saliva.
Ten minutes later, Talos and a think tank of the New Midnight Lords set foot on the land of New Nostromo. The city they are now in is the capital of the entire planet, located in the far east, and its name is also from Tokyo was changed to "Night City"... Midnight Haunter expressed clear opposition and disgust to this name, but he was finally defeated by the eyes of the midnight children.
"here……"
Talos stared blankly at the city in front of him. The beautifully designed high-rise buildings and roads complement each other. Under the rows of exquisitely crafted street lamps, there are bustling crowds. Judging by the clothes on these smiling faces, these people Very rich, and there is no trace of malnutrition on his face.And on this planet, every city and every person is like this.
Relying on the high productivity brought by technology, the people of New Nostromo can use their long lifespans to pursue their favorite careers.The whole society admires scientists, technocrats and extraterrestrial pioneers most. The new Nostromo government is vigorously encouraging people to migrate and explore in outer space, and the best of them will go to other places through the Joint Headquarters. The universe, together with the elites from different civilizations, formed an exploration team and headed for the deeper void.
Talos was not too surprised by the changes in Neo Nostromo. He had seen many well-developed planets during the Great Expedition, but what really surprised him was that this is based on Conrad The city shaped by Curze's ideas, and when these people in the city saw the Midnight Lord, they didn't feel fear, let alone fanaticism!
People occasionally look at the Midnight Children with curiosity and kindness, but they don't pay too much attention to them, just like everyone else. It's like feeling like a concert star... The Midnight Children have completely integrated into this world and become an inseparable member of all living beings.
"Where do you want to go? If you want to eat something, you have to go quickly. I know there is a good restaurant nearby, with tables and chairs suitable for the Astartes, but there are many people there. queue."
The accompanying think tank asked, she was not wearing a helmet, let alone armor, and she was wearing a set of home clothes that were much larger than ordinary women, that is, jeans and a large plain shirt, shirt "I love Papa" is also written in Nostromo language on the top, and only a Seiko power sword is hung on the waist.
Likewise, Talos is shrouded in clothing tailored to his size, which makes him look a little comical.
"You... are you just walking on the street like this?" Talos said in a daze. His words made the think tank chuckle, but he didn't explain much.Afterwards, Talos exhaled slowly, and continued: "You make your decision, I'm free."
"Really? Then don't regret it!" The think tank named Minerva couldn't hide his joy, "Then let's go eat first, and then watch the new movie, Let's go shopping again... I said earlier that I would bring new accessories to the other sisters in the team."
"...Aren't you an Astartes?"
"I am!" Minerva raised her chest proudly, "I am an official think tank, and I am very powerful!"
"..."
Talos finally couldn't maintain his expression anymore. He stared at Minerva's face, suppressed his anger, and said word by word:
"What do you think an Astartes is?! An Astartes is—"
"A tool of battle? A murderous maniac? A high-ranking ruler?"
Minerva shrugged, Talos' face was reflected in her eyes:
"The Astartes are the warriors who guard human civilization, and the Night Lords among them are the sharp blades that exercise the power of punishment and spread fear, but what else?"
"Grandfather created the Primarch and derived the Astartes from it, but did he also define the Astartes absolutely in addition to assigning duties? You are qualified to say this in front of the Blood Angels Words? Or, do you think the fate of the Night Lords can only be an executioner hiding in the dark, and this fate can never be changed?"
"My rebellious brother, you look like a child in the second grade, while immersed in your own dream of a hero, while enjoying the painful fantasy that no one will understand you... The old Nostromo people are like you Does it exist in general?"
"Here, in the joint headquarters, you have to learn to enjoy life outside of combat, brother, this is not the Imperial universe."
"..."
Talos didn't speak, but his teeth were clenched and his face became grim.
Seeing this, Minerva smiled triumphantly, and then she took Talos's arm and pulled him deeper into the city.
"The time you're allowed to go out is not long, I have to take this opportunity to enjoy this rare 'holiday'."
Chapter 183 Under Midnight, Even Dead, Still Alive (End)
Talos had reason to suspect that the Midnight Son named Minerva was torturing himself with some unknown torture method. He glanced at the two bags at his feet, which were full of strange objects, including models. There are trinkets and stickers, many of which depict a one-eyed, red-skinned pony.
"...Tsk."
Talos glanced at these bags with distaste, and moved his body to the side. He is now sitting in a corner of a garden, while Minerva is running to line up, apparently planning to buy something——
This group of people is so relieved to let a criminal with bloody hands walk on the street in an open manner?
As long as Talos wanted to, he could completely twist the neck of the little girl who had been staring at him in front of him, not even a second!
"……What are you looking at?"
Talos looked at the little girl in front of him with a dark face. The latter was holding an ice cream and licking it. The red eyes were exactly the same as those of the Midnight Children, which made Talos feel disgusted and disgusted. said:
"Go away, be careful that I peel your skin!"
"Are you a big guy from Union Headquarters?"
What the hell is the big guy? !
Talos cursed in his heart, but he didn't like to get angry with a little girl, so he just turned his head away and ignored her.But the little girl didn't feel scared, and sat directly beside Talos, saying:
"I'm going to be the Night Lord when I grow up, and go to Union headquarters."
"..."
"Big guy, what's your name?"
"... Talos."
Talos responded lightly, and then he raised his eyebrows and asked:
"You can speak High Gothic?"
"Everyone who wants to be a recruit of the Night Lords needs to learn it, and I just know a little... I can also speak Nostromo! I am the child of the night of the dolphin factor, and I am super smart!"
The little girl smiled haughtily, but the smile on her lovely face could only be amused.For the next few minutes, Talos and she remained silent, until the surrounding streetlights began to brighten, and the soft light sprinkled on the surrounding bushes and railings, coating them with a warm halo.
Gradually, Talos was immersed in this peaceful atmosphere. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and even eased the anger that had never been extinguished in his heart, but just as he was enjoying everything in front of him, the little girl next to him said:
"What's your name? Astartes of which Chapter?"
"...It has nothing to do with you."
"You are so indifferent and stinky, you can't be the Astartes of the Dark Angels, right? I remember it was said in the news that there was a Dark Angel from the Glory Knights visiting New Nostromo, but He didn't stay long and went away."
"I'm not a Dark Angel," Talos said, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "But I agree with your evaluation of the Dark Angel... Brat, you should stay away from me, I'm not a good person."
"No, Astartes are good people. They are strong and gentle, and they are the guardians of human civilization."
"You should put the idiot who taught you this sentence down the toilet... Astartes is a collective name for a group, there are millions of them, some of them are criminals, traitors and scum, those who cannot be called The guy who is an 'Astarte' needs to be crowned with a title of depravity or betrayal," Talos said lightly, and he felt that he was peeling his heart with a knife now, "If you really meet When you come to the Astartes of other legions, always be careful, they will always be hostile to you, despise your tactics, and laugh at your original body and home planet, even those so-called loyalists are no exception."
"Sounds like a lot of hard work."
"Don't think that you can turn back when you go this way... In the end, I was just deceived by his rhetoric, and I really thought I could become a hero." Talos lowered his head and looked at his hands, unable to restrain himself. His desire to confide led him to continue:
"This is ridiculous. Even now, I still have resentment. I know what I should do. I know that this is the last chance, but I don't always have the courage to take the last step."
"Is there no one with you? If a person feels scared, why don't you call someone who is with you?"
"We..." Talos hesitated a little, but he continued, "I don't know if I still have that qualification."
"Then it's up to you to decide, big guy, it's getting late, I have to go home quickly."
As the little girl said, she jumped off the flower bed and ran into the distance... Talos looked at the dancing figure of the girl and felt mixed emotions in his heart. If it was in Old Nostromo, a cute girl like her who came out alone would not be She can only become a toy of a certain gang or aristocrat, and even a more tragic fate awaits her.
But now, she can walk alone in the night city without any scruples.
"..."
Talos closed his eyes, and he remembered a long time ago, when he returned to Old Nostromo for the first time since becoming an Astartes—
The crowd lined the road to welcome the night lords back from the battlefield. Their eyes were full of fanaticism and fear, and among those looking at themselves, there was only one person, and only one person's eyes were different.
"Talos? Talos!"
"Charles, tell me where he is? You know it!"
"Talos? Look at me! It's you, I know it's you, please, Talos, look at me!"
The lawman's gunfire ended the desperate and painful cries of the old woman, the mother of ordinary people, and left a scar on Talos' heart forever. The moment of relief and remorse... Just like now, he felt pain for what he had done in the past, and hated Conrad Kotz's madness even more.
But now, the man known as the Midnight Haunter is no longer crazy, or he locked himself in the cage of his mind with ridiculous family affection, just like a trapped beast that no longer struggles.
Piece-winged angels and false emperors, your calculations are really good.
"...Tsk, Sevita, are you also a bound beast?"
Talos smiled wryly. He suddenly realized why Sevtar is "special", why he can go to any place he wants to go without any scruples. Thinking of this, Talos said to himself:
"Okay then... I want to see how you can tie me here now!"
While Talos was still thinking about life alone in the garden, the little girl had left the park along with the crowd, and turned into a slightly remote corner after walking a long distance. With her pace, her body also changed from ten to ten The next year's little girl is gradually turning into an Astarte who is more than two meters tall!
Freya, one of the chief think tanks of the Night Lords Legion, the leader of the scarlet choir, known as the "Midnight Singer", tossed her hair and exhaled lightly. She still felt a little uncomfortable with the rapid changes in her body through psionic energy.
"How about the psychological evaluation?"
Minerva was leaning against the wall at the end of the alley, holding two cups of milk tea in her hands. After handing Freya a cup, Minerva continued to ask:
"If there is no problem, I will let the sisters who work as snipers withdraw."
"There is no problem. His psychic power has been suppressed before and he has not received professional training. It is not difficult to pry into the mind of an amateur, especially at such a short distance." Freya sucked on the milk tea and said Biting the pearl inside, he mumbled:
"Generally speaking, he is an awkward child, just like our father, just wait for him to figure it out... What's the matter, this expression?"
"No... it's just that Elder Lianchang has a new order."
Minerva shook the warm data terminal that was pulled out from her chest and said:
"Commander Rorschach asked us to go to a place called Vigilus immediately after finishing the repairs... Most of the forces of the Joint Headquarters will go there."
"That doesn't sound like good news. It looks like Uncle Corax's journey home will have to wait a while longer."
Chapter 184 Talking Device Extra Story ([-])
(Holy Terra, the palace, grand music sounds)
Forbidden army kitten: "My lord of glory! Would you like to continue enjoying the last video recording? Just to ease your pain while sitting on the golden throne."
Emperor: "It pains me even more to see you naked Custodians dangling your ○○ in front of me every day."
Forbidden army kitty: "We are not naked every day! (The emperor and the two Primarchs both cast contemptuous glances) Well... well, at least we will wear armor when patrolling outside the palace... perhaps."
Donne: "Let the mechanical priest start playing, I am really interested in stories in another universe."
