Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 246 04.0245: ‘Theosophamy’

Yin Shuyao, who was sitting in the co-pilot of the special car, saw such a magnificent building for the first time.

"Except for going to school and shopping with Miss Peru, I probably haven't been here before."

The girl in a skirt squeezed her legs together, her little hands clenched into fists and pressed on her thighs. Her clear eyes nervously looked at the scenery of the upper nest and the tall and extraordinary Admiralty Fortress that was getting closer and closer.

Horatio greeted her in advance and told her that if she went in, she would not be able to come out for a while.

But after knowing that she could serve the God-Emperor and His Holy Navy, she tactfully made up a cover to her father, saying that Pringle Women's College was going to hold a study trip.

In order to allow her to follow with peace of mind, Horatio allowed her to take all the unfinished accounts with her so that she could continue her part-time job in the naval fortress, saving the trustworthy girl from being embarrassed by not being able to complete the work on time.

The float vehicle landed on the landing platform. The girl's civilian attire in a plain printed dress looked very simple and conspicuous in front of the soldiers in straight uniforms with medals and ribbons and gold tassel epaulettes.

She followed Horatio cautiously, watching him salute one after the other as he passed.

After stepping into the magnificent Admiralty Building, she was completely amazed by the various decorations collected from the sea of ​​​​stars, each of which was five meters wide.

But Horatio's steps were long and fast. She was just distracted and wanted to look at him for a few seconds, and fell quite a distance.

The girl had no choice but to hold her skirt and trot along with small steps to keep up, so as not to get lost in this dense place where her status was not allowed to enter.

"Good morning, everyone. I have brought a new person here. Let me introduce you. This is Miss Yin, Miss Peru's female companion, and one of the secret agents serving us in Zhongxiachao."

Seeing what Horatio said, Louise's usual stern expression towards outsiders became a little softer, and she smiled and said: "Welcome, Miss Yin. If you need anything, you can tell me directly."

"Thank...thank you!" The girl bowed to Louise very cautiously.

"Hey, Xiaoyao, I'm still thinking about you today. I haven't gone out to play with you for so long. I feel so bored. I really want to eat the chestnut cream cake from the KK-1 shopping mall in Vegas."

Thei walked out with a smile on her face, complaining about her boring life in a naive manner, chatting about the mall counters and various gourmet women's clothing they had visited before. The familiar people and topics made the girl gradually relax from her restrained state.

Soon, another girl who was dressed luxuriously, with a single gold-rimmed spectacle on her right eye, a gold-rimmed rose hair cover on her hair, and an expressionless face also walked out of the room.

"Gui'an, Miss Yin. Please give me the password you created." Lina said coldly, without much greeting, and went straight to the topic.

"Ah...ah, okay!" When the girl heard this, she finally put down her little heart, and instantly became anxious again. She hurriedly rummaged through her backpack, and the few pictures she had at the beginning evolved into a thick and small book. The code book and Luban lock were handed over to her.

"Miss, who is this...?" Yin Shuyao asked Teyi cautiously.

"She is Miss Hood's escort and a colleague of our cryptography team." Teyi introduced her briefly with a smile, without saying much.

"I am the chief officer of the Gothic Fleet Security Committee, the daughter of Lord Colonel Elphinstone. I am mainly responsible for the encryption and collection of intelligence here." Lina glanced at Thei expressionlessly and completed her introduction. .

The brigadier general's daughter seemed to have some bad taste in teasing Miss Hood, and she extended this taste to her female companions.

"Okay everyone, let's stop talking. Your task now is to improve this password, perfect enough to at least be used as a pilot within our department."

"No problem, leave it to me."

"It's 'us'." Tei corrected with a smile.

Lina's lips and teeth moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she sighed helplessly and gave up.

"Let me introduce it first, what is this?" Lina played with the wooden cube in her hand and looked at the reserved girl and asked.

"This is a small toy passed down from my family. You see, first turn it like this, and then twist it like this. It can correspond to the vertical and horizontal directions on the Sudoku table. And according to the agreed comparison table, you can accurately check the represented numbers. , to form a password.”

"It's pretty good. What are the characters on it?"

"According to the order of different sentences, these characters represent the numbers that are read in different directions on the Sudoku table, and can be interpreted from eight directions.

Without the help of this lock, each number in each row of four numbers would have eight possibilities, so a four-number array would have at least 32 ways to interpret it.

But if this lock is added, if someone wants to continue to decipher, the secret code that comes with the Sudoku table can eventually increase the possible interpretations of each number to the fifth power of eight, or 32,768, which will make The difficulty for thieves to decipher has increased sharply. "

"What do you think, Miss Peru?"

Everyone looked at Tei. She frowned and remained silent. Her eyes were fixed on the exquisite red lacquered Luban lock, especially the mysterious characters outlined with cinnabar and gold sand.

"What did your ancestors do?" Thei looked at the girl thoughtfully.

"Ah...well, I don't know about this either. I only know that my parents came to the place where my home is now when I was very young and opened a restaurant. My father never told me what happened to my mother, but I I heard from others that my mother went crazy and jumped from the building to death. "

"Going crazy and jumping off a building to death?" These words surprised everyone in the office.

Horatio immediately wondered if this might have something to do with the Tricks and Mysteries.

After all, He loves to do things that make people go crazy thinking about them.

But is a chef's wife really capable of being cunning?

Horatio rubbed his temples. Perhaps because of the recent investigation, he was a little over-sensitive and looked at everything like a conspiracy.

Teyi frowned and looked repeatedly at the wooden cube in Lina's hand. After hesitating for a long time, he said slowly: "This Luban Lock contains the power of psychic energy."

"Are you sure?!"

"I have seen some records of this in the black library on the black ship of the mentor. Mr. Cochrane, please contact the mentor Ravenno. If you want to know the mystery, we need to borrow his black library."

——

Ravenor's Inquisition Black Ship.

"Uh... Okay, you guys are absolutely not allowed to walk around randomly. Just stay here. Things here are very dangerous for unfamiliar people, okay?" the judge warned, covering his forehead with a headache, in front of him. Standing were Horatio and his party.

"Of course, Your Excellency the Inquisitor." Horatio shrugged, guessing that Ravenor was panicking at this time. After all, the collection of books here belongs to Gideon Ravenor, who was twice beaten as a heretic. It was collected and preserved by the author. If he wandered around, he might find something that he had never seen before, but it was enough to make him lose his head.

The female interrogator held the shuriken gun and looked at the smiling Miss Peru helplessly, and sighed: "Miss Acting Throne, although you have a good heart this time, if you become an inquisitor, this will be the case. If you take people on board the black ship at will, you may easily get into trouble in the future.”

"Oh, don't worry, Wintress. So where is that book?" Thei walked into the dark library with no lights, wandering like a light ghost.

Ravenor held the Luban Lock in his hand and looked at it with a strange expression.

"Is it true that Miss Peru said that this object contains psychic powers?" Horatio asked.

"It's true, I can feel it. But!"

Ravenor's tone became more serious at the end: "The design of this thing is very weird. It is not a purely spiritual creation, and it is very different from those of the Eldar."

"Is it harmful? This girl said that her mother went crazy and fell from a building and died. Could it be related to it?" Horatio's scalp became numb when he heard these strange things.

Ridicule the imperial bureaucracy, understand the imperial bureaucracy, become the imperial bureaucracy, and transcend the imperial bureaucracy.

Now he finally understood why the empire was always cut across the board.

There are so many weird, mysterious, and unknown-risk things in this universe that trying to control them is just wishful thinking. For the current empire, the only feasible way to deal with them is one-size-fits-all.

"I think it should be this book." After a while, Tei pointed out an old leather-bound book from the bookshelf that was covered with thick dust and full of mottled traces of time in every corner.

"Mr. Horatio, can you lend me a hand?" she asked playfully, making a show of effort before asking, obviously not intending to take it herself in the first place.

The copper-covered spine of this large tome is nearly 30 centimeters high, with a visual estimate of over a thousand pages. It is extremely heavy to the naked eye.

But for Horatio, who had undergone genetic enhancement and maintained high-intensity training, this was nothing.

When this heavy tome was spread out on the ground, it stirred up a circle of dust.

Opening the pages of the book made of unknown material, the girl relied on her memory to turn to a certain page.

"Well, I think that's it."

"Theosophamy?"
