Warhammer Inquisitor

Loken looked at the golden statue, he was sure it was the image of the Emperor, at least it was the prototype, the statue of the Emperor sat cross-legged on a platform similar to a throne, with the edges of several petals opening and closing around it , as if the Emperor sat on a flower, or was born from a flower.

The statue of the emperor overlooks all living beings. He is extremely tall and wears a slender monk robe. The well-proportioned edges are full of lines dragged down by cloth, and the dents have been carefully polished and woven. The robe on the statue looks like it was made from a real piece of fabric.

Loken stared at the statue for a while, and soon he found several soldiers under his command standing in front of the statue, holding bolt guns and standing among the surrounding corpses, apparently this place also experienced a big battle just now , To be precise, it was a massacre. Most of those who stayed here were old people and children, and they had no power to fight back against the Astartes.

But don't rush to mourn for them. If you also look at the faces of those "children", you will no longer have any sympathy and pity. I believe you will make the same choice as the Shadow Moon Wolf.

Loken walked down the stairs. He put the power sword in his hand into the scabbard and came among the soldiers. Their sergeant stepped aside to make way for Loken, and the soldiers under his command also consciously stepped back with their guns in hand. After a few steps, Loken came to the statue, looking up at the golden colossus in front of him.

He is located in the center of the vast circular grotto, the rocks above it are polished to be extremely smooth, and countless silks and silk cloths cover the sky horizontally and vertically, and they fall layer by layer, making this place look like A dyeing workshop, or a tailor's shop.

Loken looked up at the cloths of various colors above his head, all of which depicted circles of moons, and those curved crescents in the same shape stretched out above his head, like a starry sky filled with moons, and in that At the highest point, above the dome, a huge crescent moon symbol is painted.

"Captain Loken, what is this? A statue of the Emperor? I have never seen such a statue of the Emperor." The sergeant on the side asked in such a surprised way that Loken also lowered his eyes to look at the statue surrounded by cloth. A statue of gold, no wonder the sergeant was so surprised, for beneath that hood was indeed the face of the Emperor.

And it seems that in order to prevent ambiguity, the builders did not carve the emperor's face into a human face like many churches did, but directly carved it into a pair of skulls, which is the most unified image of the emperor in the entire empire. No one will disagree with this.

The holy skull, symbolizing the purity of man, is concealed under the hood, and the robes fall from its shoulders, and the forked ribs at the chest reveal the dry ribs, the skin sticking to the bones, through the gold. Vivid sculpture, its dry and bony hands are held in front of the belly, just like an unfathomable monk.

No wonder those people firmly believe that what they believe in is the Emperor. If this is the first time Loken sees this statue, Loken will also think so. Apart from the fact that his clothes are somewhat different from the "throne" below, the statue of the Emperor in front of him is Just like the Emperor himself.

"This is a trick used by the Tyranid infiltrators to deceive the locals. They use the name of the Emperor as their own smoke bomb to spread pollution and gather believers. Many true believers of the Emperor cannot tell the truth from the fake. Same as before."

Loken pointed to a baby lying on the ground beside him. He was wrapped in swaddling clothes and was tightly hugged by a dead woman, but when you saw the inhuman face of that baby, you would feel it from the bottom of your heart. I'm glad that "he" is dead.

There are many similar existences around here, Loken pointed at "them", "they use this to deceive people, lure them to combine with Tyren, and give birth to these polluted offspring, and eventually they will infect the whole planet. Planet, if we don't reach this planet in time, I am afraid that in a few generations, the whole planet will be exchanged for blood."

"Instead of these things?" Another Shadow Moon Wolf said in astonishment. He looked very surprised, looking at the corpse of a gene stealer who had almost completed returning to his ancestors lying on the ground.

"Yes, so fortunately we terminated this process in time. You have done a good job. These filthy sons must be terminated, and this statue is also the same. He can no longer be allowed to deceive the people of the empire and destroy it."

After Loken said that, he walked aside. The sergeant behind him nodded to the soldiers under his command. They quickly took out the melta bomb from the tactical backpack. Not long after, there was an explosion sound behind Loken. The golden statue collapsed suddenly, and the sound of its collapse was like the sky falling apart.

But Loken was not attracted by it. He walked along the circle of the moon depicted on the ground. He couldn't help following the moon's trajectory and walked half a circle along the surrounding walls, finally at the border of the moon's crescent. Stopped, that is the end, but also the beginning of the other end.

And at the position where the crescent is facing is a wall, a huge wall, which is part of the circular grotto, and a beautiful mural is carved on it, forming a complete story structure with other murals around it. The emperor is great, but the content of the narrative is different from the reality.

It describes that the emperor descended from the sky, and he led his angels to arrive here on a large ship across the universe. He descended from the sky and brought enlightenment and light to the people of the dark age. There is nothing wrong with this part, the Great Crusade is indeed the case Worked, but problems started to arise in the latter part.

Along the second half of the scroll, it depicts that the emperor left behind an "angel" who led people to create a new era, build cities and achieve civilization. After hundreds of generations of hard work, finally the angel A great civilization was created under his leadership.

Loken knew that it must be false, because the envoy on it was by no means a Primarch, and he didn't remember any Primarch would stay on the conquering planet for so long, even if it was famous for rebuilding and bringing development Guilliman, and Lorgar, who is keen to spread teachings and promote beliefs on the planet, will not stay for so long.

And the oracle finally established the church, which is here, the murals depict believers worshiping him, accepting his enlightenment, taking the carved Holy Grail from his hand and drinking it, and then in the next set In the picture, the person who drank the object in the holy grail stood shoulder to shoulder with the angel, becoming an extraordinary existence and being worshiped by all.

Loken guessed that the person who sculpted this mural might know about the birth process of Astartes, at least a part of it, so he sculpted it like this, adding another layer of so-called truth to everything that was full of deception, with the emperor's angel Born, to consecrate that which is in the Holy Grail.

"What a carefully woven lie." Loken said as he walked to the statue, his eyes swept over it, and finally settled on the envoy in the center, on the envoy's relief, on his forehead There is also a crescent moon symbol.

Loken stretched out his hand to press down on the relief, and then the entire body of the envoy sank, and with the rumbling sound of rock sliding, there was a sound of machinery running inside the entire wall, and soon the stone surface The wall was opened immediately, it was divided into two from the center, and then sunken inward to open a passage.

It was a dark staircase extending underground, extremely long, only the ever-burning candles lit in the shrines dug out on the walls on both sides provided the light source. Loken stood in front of the door and looked towards the bottomless abyss below.

"It's strange, we didn't find out that there is still a road here before, the sound waves of the scanner seem to be blocked." The sergeant who came from behind Loken said so, and his soldiers surrounded him, stood beside Loken and walked towards the road. Looking from the end of the deep staircase.

Loken looked at the bottom of the stairs, then walked up with his head held high. He bent down and drilled into the grotto that was not dug for the Astartes. The small space in it forced him to bend down and half squat on the ground to enter.

"Contact the marshal and tell him about this tunnel. Remember to keep it secret and report it directly to the marshal." Loken said as he turned on the light on his helmet. The pale light pierced the darkness inside, and the light illuminated the place below. Part of a long staircase, it also extends downwards, seemingly without end.

"I'll go down and have a look alone, you guys go to contact the marshal, and no one is allowed to enter here, understand?" "Yes, sir."

After the sergeant finished speaking, the voice echoed behind Loken, and the footsteps of soldiers leaving behind him came, and the voice echoed in the dark corridor, echoing again and again, Loken bent down and walked down the stairs to Walking down, the searchlight above his head illuminated the ancient stone walls on both sides along the way.

There are many grottoes carved on the walls on both sides, in which many small gods are enshrined, and candles are burning around them. There are long and short, it seems that someone is responsible for the replacement.

The light of the candles lit up the faces of the god statues. Most of them had collapsed and been damaged, or their faces were severely worn out. Looks like some kind of sacrifice.

The eyes under Loken's battle helmet scanned the grottoes on both sides, and he walked down. This staircase is very long, and it took a lot of time to finally reach the end. Below it is a wide underground cave.

Loken bent down and drilled out of the cave at the end of the corridor. He stood up and stepped into this tall cave. The top of his head was filled with a large number of fallen stalactites, and the humid environment caused water droplets to continuously fall on it. On the ground, there was a crackling sound.

On the ground of this huge cave is a shallow water surface, which seems to be a part of the groundwater. Loken is standing in it, the stream submerged up to his ankles, and in front of him, on the ground in the center of the cave, is a Most of the altar has been submerged by groundwater, and only a part is still exposed.

And on top of it stood a statue, it was a tall and thin existence, with six hands spread out in all directions, holding a dagger in each hand, and the ends of the slender legs turned into hooves. It also has two horns on its head and a curved tail hanging down behind it.

Loken stared at the statue and frowned. It was definitely not a statue of the Tyranids. It was a statue of a man, half man, half woman, with a symbol similar to a magic pattern engraved on his abdomen.

Loken stepped forward, he walked towards the statue, and there was a tall body sitting in front of the statue, it sat there cross-legged, its limbs and giant claws rested on its legs, and the hard chitin carapace covered it On the head, a paw is held on the face and hides its face.

On the ground around it, and on the water, sat a circle of creatures doing the same movements, and a large number of purebred gene-stealers sat cross-legged around the giant beast.

Loken walked forward, his footsteps were advancing through the water, and suddenly his footsteps stopped because he crushed a skull in the water, and as the cracking sound of the skull spread throughout the cave, the person sitting in front The giant beast in front of the statue moved, and the giant claws that were blocking his face were slowly released, and the slender claws fell down, revealing its face.

The human-like and dragon-like head slowly lifted up, and the orange-red eyes shone with light. It opened its bloody mouth that spewed out white mist, and the sharp teeth slowly opened in it. After that, the beast stood up, A few of his paws supported the ground to make his huge body stand up slowly. He looked down at Loken, and slowly opened his four arms.

"Gene Stealer Patriarch, newborn." Loken looked at the patriarch who had not yet completed the transformation and had this exposed skin on his body. His slender tail swept the water on the ground, splashing a spray of water all over the surroundings. On the purebred gene stealers, they also all moved.

The hordes of beasts lowered their paws and looked back at Loken. They opened their mouths full of sharp teeth and roared at Loken. The latter watched the giant beasts in front of the statue slowly withdraw their waists. Saber.

"Before the marshal arrives, you have to be cleaned up."
