“Ah~ Mr. Horatio, welcome to my laboratory, but you’d better not touch anything to avoid irreversible consequences~.”

As soon as he entered the door, he heard a vivid and sweet female voice, but Father Lati, who was still busy at the workbench, neither turned his head nor stopped his work.

Horatio was used to her perfunctory courtesy in the so-called ladylike style. After seeing the bureaucrats revising the public relations strategy, he even thought that Father Lati’s simple contrast was a bit cute.

Because of some transactions, Horatio had her access control identification information.

The mentors were traveling in the void again, so during this period of time, except Horatio, no one in the Abyss Port could automatically enter through the access control identification.

"Good day, Father Lati. Remember last time I gave you a bottle of experimental sample, which contained a small object like mercury. Is it still with you?"

"I handed it to my mentor, but unfortunately, he went out with the great sage Cambrius."

The woman smiled, and the mechanized parts on her face did not damage her delicate features, and even added a bit of the unique cold beauty of metal: "But I got it back in some way."

"Have you studied anything?" Horatio stepped forward and went straight to the point.

"Have you found anything?" Father Lati omitted the greetings and responded to Horatio's question with a question.

"Yes, I did find something. This thing is related to the incident on the Retribution-class "Sacred Will". I think you should have known what happened yesterday."

"Hmm~" The woman smiled.

The overhaul of the fleet flagship requires the cooperation of almost all the Mechanicians on the planet.

The fate of the Sacred Will was discussed by everyone from high officials to civilians in Abyss Port. She probably knew about it a long time ago.

"I found this in the skull of the mutinous sailor. It is also a mercury-like amorphous liquid. I want to know if it is the same thing as the sample I gave you before."

Father Lati stepped forward and clamped the sealed container handed by Horatio with his prosthetic limbs behind him.

She opened the container, took out the glass slide inside, and put it under the huge nano-scale analysis microscope. After a moment of machine humming, Father Lati moved from a static state. Obviously, the observation data directly transmitted to her by the equipment has been analyzed by her.

"Your guess is right. They are indeed the same substance."

"What is it?"

"I think it is a... nanoworm."

"Organism? Or a construct?"

"Both."

Father Lati looked at the data image projected on the electronic prosthetic eye.

These nanoworms formed twisted, irregular, and awkward corners and figures under the microscope:

"But if you want me to analyze the structure of this thing and understand its secrets, I'm afraid I can't do it in a short time with my ability. The technical threshold for studying it is very high, and it is nano-micro-graded. Maybe Mars has this technology, but Abyss Port can't do it."

"Really? Unfortunately, I don't have time to wait for you to figure out the essence of this thing. But can you tell me what it is used for?"

Horatio's eyes fell on the sample on the table and a death row prisoner who was tied to a restraint chair by Lati and had his eyelids and upper and lower lips cut off.

In the Empire, the Mechanicus took care of most of the follow-up treatment of death row prisoners with better physical conditions.

For the Imperial authorities, throwing death row prisoners to the Mechanicus is a far more cruel method than the death penalty.

The two eyeballs of this death row prisoner were bright red, full of bloodshot of fear and pain, and white foam flowed from the corners of his lips. He looked unconscious.

Lati used a mechanical drill to drill open the criminal's skull and inserted an optical microscope into the hole.

In this way, the goddess priest only needs to walk behind the seat, put the electronic eye on the perspective mirror, and through double micro-zooming, she can see the situation in the human brain.

And it is impossible to do it with the naked eye alone.

"You can guess first."

"Brainwashing? Parasitism? Manipulation? What else can it be?"

"The fourth dimension."

"What?" When Horatio heard Lati say the word "fourth dimension", he frowned half confused and half puzzled.

"I think it is the influence of the 'fourth dimension'."

The goddess priest removed her mechanical eye from the perspective mirror and looked at the young man and said.

The 'fourth dimension' is too unfamiliar to a hammer guy like Horatio who has traveled through time.

"Can you explain it briefly?"

"When this kind of nanoworm receives a certain command signal, it can form various distorted and irregular shapes in the human brain that are completely inconsistent with the laws of the physical world."

The goddess priest grabbed Horatio's hand and led him to the external display screen of the nano microscope.

On the screen, Horatio saw that these nanoworms were constantly changing, and they constantly formed various distorted and difficult-to-see shapes with each other.

Just by looking at it, this indescribable illusion and distortion made him feel extremely uncomfortable and nauseous.

This power is even stronger than the effect of Farida's untouchable physique on ordinary people.

"I'm not sure what I'm saying is right, but I think these nanobugs distort the laws of physics through some mechanism I don't understand, forming a fourth-dimensional microspace in the human brain, allowing creatures in the real three-dimensional universe to feel Severe physical discomfort, hallucinations, and ultimately no distinction between friend and foe.”

Letty's explanation goes beyond Horatio's expectations.

At first he thought it was just a parasite taking parasitic control over people.

But I didn't expect that after analyzing it, Lati actually said something so complicated, unheard of, and unbelievable.

"If there is such a nanobug lurking in a person's brain, is there a way to eliminate this hidden danger without killing the person?" Horatio became worried.

If the people around him were corrupted simply because they were hostile to the God-Emperor and the Empire, then at least there would be some clues that could be found by observing their subjective emotions.

But if this kind of forcible distortion of the fourth dimensional space makes people physically uncomfortable, so that people are forcibly controlled, that would be difficult to handle.

No one can tell how many people are around them, or even whether they have been tricked.

"Ah! Mr. Horatio, for a gentleman, being too impatient is not a plus~ The time you left for me was too short, even if I..."

Father Ratty had just begun to speak.

The gentle native eyes suddenly widened, and the sharp eyes were full of displeasure and hostility.

She looked out the door.

"According to a formula, a certain pill made from the ashes of psykers can destroy this thing in the brain." A voice of thought sounded directly in the minds of the two.

Only his voice is heard but his person is not seen.

Tsk-the door was opened again.

A man walked in.

"Judge Ravenor...? How did you find him?"

He was followed by his attendant of the Tribunal. Every eye was covered with a prosthetic eye, and his head was filled with nerve plugs. His whole body was modified to the same extent as that of the Mechanic Priest. He dropped the nerve plugs extracted from the brain of the access control servitor and also Followed in.

"I happen to have something to ask you, but it seems that you have discovered something very interesting."

The inquisitor used clever words to make people think that he just relied on his extensive knowledge to solve a small problem of Horatio's.

The fourth-dimensional nanobug, it was it in the Book of the Dead incident that caused the accompanying Imperial Guard to suddenly attack Inquisitor Einhausen and his party without any sign.

As an important part of the Book of the Dead event, the leakage of information about it will lead to irreversible results.

Even Eisenhorn himself studied it in private at the risk of being hunted by the Assassin's Court.

The results of his research survive within his faction, eternally vigilant among his successors to prevent danger and misfortune from returning.

It is also the focus of Ravenor's investigation into Port Abyss.

"Our interests are aligned in this matter, Mr. Horatio." He held out his hand to Horatio.

Horatio looked at him and finally reached out to hold it.

"Due to confidentiality requirements, I can't tell you what it is, especially when there are outsiders." He looked at Father Ratty, saluted like a gentleman, and said hello apologetically.

This gives Father Ratty's native eye a vivid illustration of what it looks like to want to slice someone into a human body.

When he came to her secret laboratory, he said that he was an outsider and could not tell her the secret of this magical creation.

"You are truly uneducated, sir."

Father Ratty was so angry that he activated the emotional suppressor in his brain, and the metal prosthetic hand holding the Ax of Ohm Messiah creaked.

She kept a dignified smile and uttered an emotionless curse with the greatest degree of dissatisfaction and malice that a 'lady' could express.

"Please forgive me. After all, I am just an illegitimate child who was abandoned by his parents after a one-night stand and raised in a nest. I don't know what upbringing is." Clarence Ravenor seemed to not care about this kind of verbal attack and accepted it boldly. Say what Lati said.

"Because of this, I can live to this day and serve the God-Emperor loyally." He squinted his eyes, as if Lati's words were a compliment to him.

‘Squinting eyes are monsters. ' Silently complaining in his heart, Horatio felt a drop of cold sweat dripping from his temples during the invisible conflict between the two.

He looked at this mysterious man and took a deep breath.

"Are you sure? Inquisitor, a... medicine made from the ashes of psykers?"

Horatio tried to use the scientific methods and rational logic cultivated in his previous life to think about the feasibility of this matter.

After all, isn't the ashes of a psyker really just ordinary calcium?

But he soon gave up.

In this world, if pure science had been useful, the human empire would not have developed to where it is today.
