Chapter 226: Set sail again

that night.

Thanks to the fact that No. 56's interrogation method is psychic reading, even if the other party lies, as long as his thoughts are guided by No. 56's questions and he has psychological activities about the real answer, he will be detected by his psychic reading.

Unless the subject of the interrogation has mastered some means of self-suggestion and self-hypnosis, this kind of psychic mind reading is very difficult to guard against.

As it turned out, the nobles and servants who were interrogated had no idea that they had exposed their identities as cultists. No. 56 pretended that no results had been obtained from the interrogation and deliberately released the cultists among the three nobles. He also let the symbiote Guile secretly live in the body of one of them, preparing to play the long game to catch the big fish.

The dinner was hosted by the Sommerfeld family, and almost no one from the Kronin family was invited. As a result, when the conflict broke out, the Sommerfeld family suffered the most deaths. This cannot be said to be a completely bad thing, at least those who were dissatisfied with Gladys becoming the planetary governor were purged at the same time.

Regardless of whether he died accidentally at the dinner party or after being interrogated by No. 56, the Sommerfeld family is now clean and united.

As a typical noble woman of the Hive City, and a member of a marginal branch, Gladys Sommerfeld was undoubtedly cold-hearted. The death of her relatives did not cause her much emotional fluctuation, as long as her immediate family members were not dead.

The next morning.

Koshveto led the planetary garrison composed of the Spartan gang deep into the bottom nest area and secretly brought more than a dozen mutants including the mutant girl to the top area to receive Camille's treatment.

Some of the mutant traits in these mutants are malignant mutations that will cause pain and disease, while others are benign mutations that are gradually adapting to the harsh environment of the Bottom Nest. For example, the girl's seven eyes are probably to adapt to the dark and lightless environment of the Bottom Nest.

But if possible, no one would want to live a precarious life in the bottom nest. Under the temptation of treatment surgery, the mutants revealed all the information they knew about the "Warning Society" to Fu Qinghai and others: suspected bases of the cult, suspected members of the cult...

The Alphas and Spartans have already begun discussing a plan of action.

…

Fu Qinghai stood on the top of a building in the Shangchao area, looking at the black honeycomb-shaped building in the distance, which was suspended in the air and surrounded by countless steel tracks and metal supports, and he was thinking silently in his heart.

About why cults always arise in the Schwerin nest.

Fu Qinghai actually had a vague guess -

Large library.

Think back to the past.

How did the Zeddu family become followers of Tzeentch?

How did the Astropaths of the Hive World become corrupted?

It's all related to this relic building.

This ancient building has existed since the Dark Age of Technology.

After suppressing the rebellion and exterminating the Zedu family, Fu Qinghai ordered the Great Library to be sealed. Now, there are exactly four spellcasters in the team, a Marvel magician, a DND magician, an astropath and a navigator. Can we take this opportunity to find out what's going on?

Fu Qinghai asked Chen Xinlu for her opinion.

As a result, the answer given by the Iceberg Queen was beyond Fu Qinghai's expectations.

Her face showed a look of fear and regret. She smiled bitterly and shook her head and said:

"Even if He is the God of Magic, I don't want to have anything to do with Him anymore."

It seems that he is really frightened by the series of tricks controlled by fate.

The key point is that Tzeentch, the famous god of fun in the Warp, even betrays his own people when he plays.

But Fu Qinghai is really a bad guy.

Knowing that Chen Xinlu had suffered from Tzeentch PTSD, he suddenly seemed to remember something, slapped his head and said:

"Oh, speaking of which, I also found traces of your troubles in the bottom nest. You gathered in the bottom nest to take drugs, smoke Lahuo leaves, inhale dead spirits, play with reflection pieces... Tsk tsk, you know, I also saw a card written to you by a girl, it said: Mona, and sister Lucy..."

"Stop talking!"

Chen Xinlu interrupted.

She looked at Fu Qinghai coldly:

"Do you have to keep rubbing salt into other people's wounds?"

Fu Qinghai shrugged nonchalantly:

"Wounds? So you like to put yourself in the position of a victim so much. I thought you were still obsessed with this 'sincere emotion from the bottom nest'."

"you..."

Chen Xinlu was so angry that she clenched her fists. After a second of silence, her eyes suddenly softened. She pouted her lips in grievance, looked up at Fu Qinghai, and whispered:

"No, you, I've already... I've already helped you like this, I'll do whatever you ask me to do... but you still won't forgive me? Are you going to hold on to me?"

Then, Chen Xinlu defended herself again:

"Besides, we took the necromancy drug in order to better communicate and understand the subspace, and try to get rid of the infection of the rules to complete the spell. I am not an addict! I am not addicted to drugs!"

Hey...

Fu Qinghai was a little confused.

I wondered how this woman could be a masochist? She gave in after I mocked her. What does it have to do with me whether you have a drug addiction or not? She even explained it to me.

But what Chen Xinlu said was not wrong. The two clubs had been cooperating for such a long time. It was not to write off the old things completely, but it was not good to bring up the past. Seeing her bow her head and give in, Fu Qinghai turned his head and looked into the distance without saying anything more.

Fu Qinghai described himself as a man who was sharp-tongued and vindictive. He had nothing to do with the term "warm man". Before entering the reincarnation world, he had broken up with several girlfriends because of his foul mouth.

It is true that Chen Xinlu is beautiful, a queen with glasses and an icy beauty. She is cold and aloof with a bookish air, but he doesn't want to flirt with her. He only cares about his own pleasure and doesn't care what others think.

"We'll talk about exploring the Great Library next time. Let's return to the battleship first."

Fu Qinghai left a word and turned to walk towards the shuttle. Chen Xinlu followed him silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

…

Three days later, the small fleet set sail again.

The fleet replenished a large amount of supplies in the Schwerin hive, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. The crew on the lower deck ate Grox steaks, and the wine cabinet in the captain's room was no longer only stocked with "Second Best". Everyone was very happy and their admiration for Qingshan Khan reached a new level.

He doesn't just fight.

Even the planetary governor obeys his orders.

At the same time, Fu Qinghai transferred part of the crew of the Sword-class frigate to the captured Tarasque-class transport ship to make up for the shortage of crew members, and also took the Sword-class frigate on board to form a new fleet of cruisers, frigates, scientific research ships and transport ships, and set out again.

The Sword-class frigate was the property of the Thorndike family and the spoils captured by Koshveto, so it was reasonable for Fu Qinghai to transfer it away.

Fu Qinghai's reason for transferring it was: this frigate was too old, and I wanted to take it back to Jupiter Shipyard for upgrading.

Number 56 was left in the Schwerin hive world, responsible for investigating and eradicating the cult organization and developing his own intelligence network.

This was a routine operation for the Alpha Warriors. As an Averricen, he had long been accustomed to leaving the Legion and fighting alone. Now that the Alpha Legion had become a loose war gang without a leader, he had even less reason to return to the Legion.

Satfaran is a special case. Fu Qinghai also talked with the Raven Guard in private. At that time, Fu Qinghai told him bluntly: The Raven Guard is still alive, and the Raven King himself is still alive, but he locked himself in the Raven Tower on the Redemption Star because of guilt. If you want to return to the 19th Legion, I can let you go.

Sartrefan only said one sentence:

"I am a Raven Guard of Terran descent."

Fu Qinghai understood.

The fact that Satfaran was not exiled to the Ghoul Star Cluster by Corax, and became a member of the renegade chapter Ash Claws, shows that he is a guerrilla fighter in line with the Raven King's philosophy, not an old Terran slave owner. However, he does not want to return to the Legion, perhaps because there is not much room for development and promotion for Terrans in the Legion - Satfaran did not say this, and Fu Qinghai just guessed it himself.

The Crow King did not exile his descendants entirely based on their origins. Some Crow Guard captains who were born on the Star of Redemption were also exiled by the Crow King for their disregard for the lives of mortal soldiers.

After understanding Sartrefan's idea, Fu Qinghai went to the bridge and found the astropath Xia Long Frospin.

Fu Qinghai instructed the little girl:

"Xia Long, send a message to the Star Language Court on Mars now and tell them: On our way back, we were surrounded by an orc fleet of the Blood Axe Clan. Our fleet is short of firepower, so we will temporarily take refuge in the Phaeton Forge World to protect the STC from being robbed by the orc pirates."

"Well..."

Xia Long widened his eyes.

She had been staying on the bridge, and she knew very well that the small fleet had not had any exchange of fire with any Ork fleet during this period, let alone being surrounded.

Oh no, if I must say, before heading to the Schwerin hive world, the fleet encountered a stolen ship modified by orcs. After seeing the small fleet, the other party fled, and Fu Qinghai did not order a pursuit.

But now, Fu Qinghai described something that clearly had not happened in great detail. Not only was there the "Blood Axe Clan", but even the details such as the other side had five violent ramming boats, three Onslaught-class assault ships, and three Savage-class gunboats were made up in a very realistic manner.

Qingshan Khan is an orc expert and he lies so professionally - this was Xia Long's first reaction.

Then Xia Long did not hesitate and sent the message to the Star Language Court on Mars as Qingshan Khan requested.

The psychic amplifying devices on the podium of the Star Language Choir all started to vibrate and hum. The little girl tilted her head back, and a dazzling white light bloomed in her eyes covered with white lace strips... Seeing Xia Long starting to perform star language communication according to his request, Fu Qinghai nodded with satisfaction.

He was very sure that Xia Long would go through the message as he requested.

Because when she was possessed by the demon of Slaanesh, it was Fu Qinghai who firmly adhered to the principle of not abandoning or giving up, and tried every means to expel the demon and save her life. He also helped her eliminate the mutation in her body. If it were another more conservative captain, or the Inquisition, encountering an astropath who was contaminated by the demon, they would have completely "purified" her long ago.

Xia Long is a good girl who knows how to be grateful. Even when Fu Qinghai asked her to lie to the Star Language Court on Mars, she still did it firmly.

As for why Fu Qinghai did not order the pursuit of the stolen orc ship, it was probably because the major event in the current plot line was the "Great Purge".

The Human Empire has countless enemies, but during the Great Purge, the only hostile camps recognized by the Samsara World are Chaos and Traitors. Fu Qinghai can beat the Eldar, the Orcs, and the Necrons, but there will be no assimilation point rewards.

We can beat the orcs at any time, but now we have to beat the traitors first.

Without waiting for Mars' reply, Fu Qinghai drove directly to the Phaeton Casting World to see what was going on there.

　Thanks to Nanfangbeisu, qq992333, I only know Bai Nupiao, Bililili Niang, and several book friends for their rewards.

　　To explain the recent unstable update: I am thinking about the plot of the next volume, and it is a bit difficult to do two things at the same time. I really don't know how those authors who open two books at the same time do it.
