Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 286

  Chapter 286 Rise of the Primarch: What will you meet on the lower deck?

Flashing warning red lights flicker in the dark space, where those cold decks, unknown huge buildings, and piles of material boxes are illuminated by flashing red lights, accompanied by lights Continuously scratching across their surfaces, the harsh sound of steel rubbing came from behind the gate.

With the roar of gears and lifting cables, a dull and steady landing sound, and hydraulic gas ejected from the gap under the gate, the steel gate slowly opened to both sides under the warning red light, white as hell. The icy light shot out from between the gaps in the door, and with the door fully opened, it completely shone in the space outside the door.

The warning light was red against the cold white light, and a man stepped out of the incandescent light, wearing a black jacket, wearing a bolt gun and a phoenix long sword on his waist, and the silver patches on his boots clicked with his footsteps Noisy, still holding a bottle of champagne? .

Vito stepped out of the elevator. He stood in the cold white light and looked at everything around him. The dark space was still turbid and if it was covered with a layer of grease, it was completely difficult to see the things in it. They are in a trance within the limits of what the human eye can observe, like shadows one by one.

The elevator door behind Vito began to close again, and as the iron door closed, the pale white light gradually became thinner. Vito looked very calmly at the ominous darkness surrounding him, and as the heavy closed door creaked, Slowly closing, Vito's lips caught the straw in the glass.

  Vito took a few sips of the wine in his glass, and the door behind him was completely closed. As the explosion-proof door of the elevator was completely closed, all the light disappeared until it disappeared completely.

  Vito When the last ray of light went out, Vito walked around with a champagne glass in his hand, and his boots inlaid with silver plates clattered on the hard ground of the lower deck.

Vito looked around at the dark spaces around him. Everything here was shrouded in a layer of turbid darkness. Only the corridor lighting that appeared after walking a certain distance could illuminate a little area, and the rest of the space was completely shrouded in darkness. among.

  Vito's footsteps echoed among the surrounding containers, those long-forgotten boxes were silent in the deepest darkness, decades? Or hundreds of years? Vito didn't know, after all, when he took over the ship, it had already left Starport and served in the Imperial Navy for many years.

There is an unwritten consensus in the Imperial Navy, the older the warship, the longer it has been in service, the more popular and trustworthy it is, because it means the ship is more reliable and powerful, its soul and all parts have experienced The test of time.

The captains like this kind of ship, and the sailors like to be on this kind of lucky ship. They believe that the emperor himself blesses this kind of ship, and its luck will also be blessed by the dark galaxy and dangerous warp storms. Others on this boat.

But many people also forget one thing at the same time, the more ancient this kind of warship that has gone through many years, the more dark and unremembered corners will be, those places are like the dark alleys of every city, In it, there are hidden things that are feared by people, and it is the same here.

  Vito stopped in his tracks, his eyes squinted slightly, looking at a certain shadow on the ground in the dark corridor ahead, that thing looked quite big, and it was lying in the middle of the road.

  Vito subconsciously pressed the handle of the phoenix sword on his waist. He looked at the thing carefully, and found that it was lying on the road completely motionless. Vito raised his eyebrows slightly, and then walked up slowly.

He gradually approached the thing from the hazy darkness. Vito walked up to the thing that fell on the ground. He snapped his fingers lightly with his right hand. In an instant, a golden lightning flashed between Vito's fingers. The arcs collided with each other and merged together, eventually forming a small lightning sphere.

   Following the formation of the lightning ball, the golden lightning quickly illuminated the thing on the ground, and Vito's eyes looked at the deformed creature on the ground.

   It looks like a hybrid of some kind of praying mantis insect and wild wolf. Its head, which is also completely disproportionate to its body size, collapses on the ground, and a tongue full of saliva hangs between the cracked teeth.

  The spine seems to have a few more vertebrae than normal dogs, but its body structure is obviously unable to support the disproportionate body, making the spine twisted and rickety.

But what attracts the most attention is not its unreasonable body structure, but the forelimb part, it is not a claw, but a pair of hands, a pair of human palms protruding from the black mane, which looks like someone wearing Similar to the one in the rough doll suit.

But Vito knew that there was no one inside, and if there was anyone, it would have been smashed into a pulp. Vito looked at the blooming flesh that was completely stitched together with the fur. The abdominal cavity of this thing was torn apart by something. After directly piercing its thick fur, it exploded on its abdomen, blasting its intestines, internal organs, and breastbone into a pile of mixed mud.

Vito looked at the location of the beast's hole, his head turned suddenly because of a strange noise, his head slightly glanced into the darkness behind him, something was approaching in the darkness all around .

  The sound of pattering footsteps walking on the cold deck sounded like a human being. Vito listened to the approaching footsteps, the human-like panting, and words.

   "Sir, are you alone?" the male voice said, Vito turned his head slightly to look in the direction of the voice, his peripheral vision scanned the darkness where the voice came from.

"It's dangerous around here, sir. There are wild beasts roaming around. We will protect you from it." The voice got closer and closer, and the pattering footsteps became more and more human-like. Personally, but Vito knows one thing, Cole didn't send anyone down here to patrol, and secondly, the people on this boat don't call themselves Mr.

"Yes, thank you for reminding me, now I know where those beasts are." Vito said, lifting his palm slightly, the finger slipped sideways from the **** of the bolter, and the index finger gently on the trigger.

   "Beast? Now, I don't understand what you're talking about, we're the only ones around here."

"Yes, because you are what they are." Vito said and pulled out the bolt gun suddenly. He raised the bolt gun with a gesture like a cowboy in the west. He pulled the trigger, and with the sound of the crisp trigger impact, bright flames shot out from the muzzle in an instant.

A whirling bomb pierced through the darkness, and hit something in the darkness with a single shot. As the flames of the bomb exploded, the explosion illuminated the "man", the hunchback who spoke human words. Upright wolf.

The bomb instantly lit up everything around it, illuminating the monsters following that beast. Those beasts had neither sharp claws nor terrifying fangs, but each of them held a weapon, A piece of human weapon made of scrap steel, the moment after a brief flash of light illuminated them, those humanoid beasts rushed up from the darkness.

Vito stood beside the fallen corpse of the beast, and he hurled the ball of lightning overhead. The flash of the orb illuminated the ground around Vito, and soon the bolter fire made the light brighter.

Roaring bombs roared into the darkness, and the beasts charging forward with scrap metal sharp weapons were shot in the head one by one. Their terrifying cries mixed with wild wolves and human roars echoed in the darkness. Human-like feet rushed towards Vito on the steel ground.

Vito quickly turned the muzzle of his gun to shoot at those beasts. He stood under the light of the lightning ball and raised his long arms. His footsteps followed the rotation of his arms and kept shooting. Thor's face also illuminated the anthropomorphic monsters around him.

  They all seem to have different degrees of human form, and the beasts that are closest to human form are almost as good as human beings, except for a little hair covered in the skin on their bodies, and their slender arms.

But no matter how human they are, they can't fool Vito. The only response they can get is a bomb, and the human face of the beast is instantly pierced and exploded, and the shattered skull sprays brains on the surrounding ground. .

Vito walked backwards, his arms facing the entire side and rear in a fan shape and fired continuously. The heavy recoil of the bolter was transmitted through the right arm to the champagne held in Vito's left hand, and the calm drink was on the surface of the bolter Ripples continued to appear under the roar.

Vito's eyes calmly aimed at the muzzle sight of the gun, and the sight with the flashing green indicator light kept aiming at a humanoid beast. As Vito's fingers were pulled, the bolter would melt them into pieces with the Emperor's wrath. For the smoking rotten meat that fell to the ground.

The flashing firelight illuminated Vito's face, his eyes were fixed on the front, but behind him, a wild beast suddenly rushed out from the darkness, the monster sprawled up on all fours, roaring and The scrap iron blade in his hand aimed at the back of Vito's head and stabbed it down.

But Vito in front of it suddenly turned around quickly, as if he had known that the beast would charge, Vito let go of the bolt gun in his hand, and at the moment the gun body fell, he grasped the phoenix sword Then he pulled it out in an instant and then slashed out with a sword. The blade that shone with fiery light instantly cut off the entire body of the beast from shoulder to waist.

  The beast's separated body crashed to the ground, and he screamed in a human voice. The sound was so perfect, but it won't bring any mercy to it.

After Vito turned the hilt of the sword in his hand with a backhand, he stabbed down and pierced its head. The skull was pierced and shattered almost instantly, and the part of the creature that might be the brain was also instantly crushed under the hot blade. Burnt.

  Vito drew out the phoenix sword, and at the same time that steam was billowing from the creature's skull, Vito swung the phoenix sword with one arm and slashed and killed more beasts rushing from the surrounding darkness.

His arm was waving the Phoenix Sword, and the scorching hot sword was attached to his arm. With each swing, it deftly turned in a big circle, and the arc of death cut off pairs of arms and torso. The screams echoed in Vito's ears one after another, the screams of human beings.

He swung the Phoenix Sword with one arm, and his footsteps cooperated with the blade tacitly. That fighting skill seemed to be engraved in his instinct. Every swing and turn of his seemed to be an instinct, and this instinct It allows him to kill beasts one by one in the most precise way.

  That's right, with one arm, Vito is still holding champagne, so the water is steadily placed in the glass, no matter how fierce the battle is, not even a drop of wine is spilled from it.

   Vito held the wine glass and cut off the neck of a wild beast beside him with a backhand sword. The blade cut through its trachea, and a huge amount of blood gushed out from the gap in an instant.

At this time, a wild beast rushed from one side. Its speed was very fast. The beast rushed in at the moment when Vito cut off the head of one of his own kind. This cunning one planned to take advantage of Vito's sword Blade turned forward and thrust the scrap metal blade into Vito's neck.

   It obviously knew that it was the weakness of human beings. It was a cunning and cruel beast, but it made a mistake, a fatal mistake. The man standing in front of it was not an ordinary human being.

Vito's reaction nerve arcs reacted instantly at an astonishing speed. He slammed back to avoid the stabbing scrap iron blade. Vito looked at the gray-maned arm whizzing past in front of him, holding the Phoenix Sword. After turning his wrist along the trend, he slashed upwards, and the fiery blade cut off the entire right forearm of the beast in an instant.

   "Ah!! By the Emperor! Pain, pain!" it screamed and covered its blood-spitting severed arm, Vito stood up and looked at the beast with raised eyebrows in surprise.

"It's so interesting, since an alien is calling the emperor." Vito said, chopping off its head with a backhand sword, Vito held the phoenix sword and looked at the beasts emerging from the darkness in front of him, they roared and charged from the shadows. Come on, the scrap iron blade shone coldly under the ball lightning above Vito's head.

Vito smiled and looked at the beasts in front of him. He suddenly poured the wine in his hand on the top of his head. The champagne liquid rushed from the rim of the glass to the sky, and Vito also threw the glass to one side at the same time. As the glass was released from his hand, Vito took the Phoenix Sword from his right hand, and with his toes lightly flicked the ground, the bolter on the ground flew up.

  As soon as Vito grasped the flying bolter, he swung his hand and aimed the gun at the beast rushing forward. He looked at the roaring humanoid face of the beast and was about to pull the trigger.

But suddenly the beast's head exploded, blown away by a bomb, and Vito looked behind him in shock. He saw a yellow-armored space warrior walking out of the shadows, holding a bolt pistol in one arm. He opened fire on the beasts in front of Vito, and the rapid artillery fire crushed several beasts in an instant.

Next to the yellow-armored space warrior, a blue-armored Ultramarine stepped out. He held up the bolt gun in his hand, locked his eyes in line with the baseline of the gun body, and then pulled the trigger. The bolt gun instantly became like a sniper. Such superb artillery fire was fired at those beasts.

  The heads and bodies of the beasts were blown into smoking minced meat. The superb marksmanship of the Ultramarines was like a death scythe in the dark, but soon the real death scythe appeared.

A space marine in cyan battle armor rushed past the Ultramarines and the Imperial Fist in yellow armor. He rushed past Vito with a chainsaw sword in his hand. The tall giant rushed in front of a beast. The moment the beast's human-like eyes looked at the giant, the roaring chainsword slashed down.

The face of the beast was crushed by the chainsaw, and the whole body was cut in half by the blade of the sword. The space warrior didn't stop, he slashed the next blow almost instantly, and the roaring chainsaw instantly crushed the beast. The shoulder of the next beast was shredded, and the beast screamed and looked at his shattered shoulder, and then the entire collarbone was crushed and cut off.

Vito smiled, inserted the Phoenix Sword into the scabbard, and stretched out his palm, catching the falling wine glass just right, and all the flying wine fell into the glass perfectly, even a drop of excess liquid fell into the glass. Not spilled on the ground.

The blue-armored warrior raised his chainsaw sword. The scarlet eye glasses on his helmet stared at the beasts in front of him like a **** of death. The chainsaw whizzed down and killed another beast. Its body disintegrated under the heavy blow. For rotten meat.

The rest of the beasts completely collapsed. They screamed with human voices and turned to flee into the darkness. They scrambled and crawled away from the tall death god. The space warriors in the blue armor stood up with their chainswords and prepared to catch up. But Vito hit the knee with the bolt gun in his hand.

He looked down at Vito beside him. The latter smiled and raised his finger lightly and waved forward. The ball lightning rushed up instantly. The sphere roared and rushed to the top of the fleeing beasts, and then exploded instantly, creating countless waves. Lightning engulfed half of the corridor in an instant, and the howling lightning quickly flashed among the beasts, all of which were scorched from the inside to the outside under the bombardment of the lightning.

  Vito watched those beasts all crashing to the ground, colliding with each other like overturned bowling pins, and he took a sip of the champagne in his hand in satisfaction.

"It looks like you're having a lot of fun down here." Vito smiled and turned to look at the Imperial Fist commander who was walking behind him. The latter was walking with a chainsword in one hand and a bolt gun in the other. , Eisenstein slipped the bolter back into the holster, and took off his helmet.

   "Marshal." Eisenstein stopped in front of Vito as he spoke. He nodded to Vito rigorously as always, and Vito also nodded to him with a smile.

"It seems that although you didn't attend the banquet, you have found something to do." Vito shook the wine glass, and then savored the strong aroma of the wine. What better way to enjoy a glass of wine after a battle?

"You can use your psychic lightning to kill them all from the beginning, Marshal, why do you have to fight with these beasts?" Bell took off his helmet as he spoke, and he stood behind Eisenstein and shook his head. The short golden hair on the top of the head also swayed.

   "I just ate, I have to digest." Vito looked at Loken who also took off his helmet, and he nodded to the last Captain of the Shadow Moon Wolf, who also nodded to Vito.

  Vito tasted the aroma of the wine on his tongue, then put down his glass and turned to look at the corpse of the beast lying on the ground. The thing was steaming, and the rotten meat was like a waste product thrown away by Mario's kitchen.

   "Tell me, what are these ghost things?"

   "We believe they sneaked up the exhaust duct of the Rogue Trader's Mayflower while it was docked next to us for repairs."

   Eisenstein pointed at a pile of corpses on the side with his chainsaw sword, "Our preliminary speculation is that it is some kind of alien alien, something that the empire has never touched."

   "Well, indeed, aliens who can speak human language and imitate human appearance, these rogue traders who run around the universe can really surprise people, although most of the time they are the kind that people don't want."

Vito took a sip of the wine, and when the rogues travel around the universe, they will always bring some strange, alien aliens that humans have never touched, or some kind of virus, plague or something, God knows in their How much of this stuff is still hidden in the lower deck.

Their shipboard guards can't clean up the bottom deck either, so they can only close and disinfect it after each port call, and use nerve gas and other "pesticides" to clean the bottom deck once. As for normal times, they can only pray that the bottom deck is sealed tightly. up.

  So if you find a Rogue Trader space hulk in space, you better be honest and don't go up there with curiosity to pick up some treasures or something, or...good luck.

   "So what the **** are these things?"

Vito asked, he looked at Eisenstein, and the latter nodded to Bell. The Ultramarine Apothecary walked out from behind Eisenstein and came to Vito. After lightly pressing on his belt, he popped out. A small reagent jar, he handed the reagent to Vito, who took it and looked at the blood slice samples stored in it.

   "You got it from those beasts?"

"That's right, I tried to analyze the cerebral cortex samples I cut from them, but I only analyzed some human genes. The computing power of the equipment on my power armor is limited, so I can't do further analysis, but I'm sure Omega must have a way of figuring out what these monsters are."

  Vito looked at the reagent and nodded. He shrugged slightly and put it in his arms, "What about you? What are you going to do?"

   "Thoroughly eliminate the threat here, we can't bring these aliens back to Terra, and we must not let them defile the throne world!" Eisenstein clenched his fists and said sharply.

   "Unsurprisingly, then, I wish you a happy hunting." After Vito smiled and nodded slightly, he walked towards the direction of the elevator. He raised his wine glass and shook it at the edge of the darkness in the distance.

"If you are hungry, the banquet is still open, especially Loken, there is your favorite Owen Beast Steak." Vito said, disappearing into the shadows with a laugh, Loken looked at the Xiangfang pursed his lips with his tongue, then turned his head to look at Eisenstein behind him, who put on his helmet without saying a word, then turned around and walked into the darkness holding the chainsword.

   "Come on guys, we have work to do."

  Loken and Bell looked at each other and smiled wryly, then put on their respective helmets and stepped into the shadow.
