Chapter 23: The Imperial Frontier: The Gift of the Mechanicus

The Silver Snake Bar is empty tonight, which is not uncommon. This bar is rare in Xiachao and can be said to be complete and well-equipped. It can be said to be one of the best bars in Xiachao. If you add For security, you can remove one of them.

Logically speaking, this place is usually full of seats, but tonight, there is no one here. Every wine table is empty. The bar chairs are turned upside down on the table, and the wine glasses and wine are neatly placed on the shelves. , not a single light was lit, and everything was completely immersed in darkness.

But gradually, a vague voice appeared in the silence, and the voice gradually became clearer. Footsteps, a whole set of footsteps.

The sound of hard boots on the wooden floor passed through the surrounding deep darkness with the solid conductivity. As the sound of iron boots gradually approached, the lights turned on with the click of the switch.

"That's it?" Vito asked, and the woman in his arms nodded slightly, "That's it."

Vito put her down and helped her sit on a high chair. Silver Snake finally let go of his hand, put the breathing mask on the table and took a deep breath. After a moment of coughing, Regained some composure.

Vito climbed over the bar and took down a bottle of wine from the wine rack. "How about this?" "Heart of Blue? It's quite expensive." "That's good wine."

He skillfully removed the cork of the bottle and poured a glass for Silver Snake. The latter also smiled bitterly and took a sip of the wine. As the wine went down, he calmed down a lot. Vito smiled and poured himself a glass. .

He and Silver Snake clinked glasses, and then drank together. The beautiful female bartender looked at her wine glass, looking at the azure heart shining with stars, and the wine seemed to contain an entire nebula.

She rubbed her arm, and the pain made her curse in a low voice, but the reaction on her face only lasted a short moment, and it was not even an expression. After all, it was just a twitching of her eyelids.

But obviously, Vito could still see it. He shrugged slightly, "Although the Mandela potion takes effect quickly, it still takes a while."

Silver Snake smiled. She took off her tattered coat. Mosley's claws almost tore off the entire arm. She threw it to the high chair aside. Vito watched her fit perfectly. The shirt that fits the curves of my body, especially the breasts that are about to emerge at the neckline, is slightly raised.

Silver Snake looked at him and sighed helplessly, pointing to the door on the side of the wine rack, "Don't you still have interrogations to do? Do something serious while I change clothes?"

Vito smiled, shrugged slightly, then walked towards the inner room with the wine glass. When he passed the wine rack, he picked up a bottle of wine. Then he playfully turned around and pointed at Silver Snake with the wine bottle, "Personally speaking, , I would rather appreciate the perfect creation of human beings, and study how to sculpt the human body, or do art or something like that.”

"You are the first person I have ever seen who talks about lust so decently. Vito, get out of here before I consider blowing your head off, even if you dare to peek."

Vito smiled slightly and waved his hand slightly to push open the inner door. Silver Snake sighed helplessly, then showed a smile on his lips and shrugged slightly and walked towards the other door.

——

Vito walked to a chair with a wine bottle and glass, and looked at the unconscious man above him jokingly. Mosley's form had almost returned to human form. It was so interesting. It seemed that he was only awake, and It only takes on that form when the emotions are very intense.

Vito took a sip of wine, then turned to look at Omega not far away. He was using his god knows how many mechanical arms and movable cables to assemble a piece of equipment at a dizzying speed.

The Mechanicus took the thing out of a box and muttered something in his mouth, as if he was reciting the hymn of the Mechanicus. Sometimes Vito really felt strange about them. You see, the people of the Mechanicus always manipulated various people. They are engaged in advanced equipment, weapons, or doing research that is incomprehensible, and they also speak many incomprehensible technical words.

But like those guys from the state religion, they would pop out some religious words from time to time. Although this was not uncommon in the empire, every time these guys said these words with ecstasy electronic music, Vito There will be an extremely weird feeling.

"I'm a traitor!" a voice yelled. Vito smiled and turned to look at the man in front of him. "Hello, Mosley, you wake up so fast. Last time I stunned a heretic and he fell asleep. It took two days to wake up.”

"Heretic? You are the real heretic! Traitor! You are a traitor! Vito Constantine! Shameful traitor!" Mosley shouted, while Vito smiled and poured a glass of wine and handed it to It was given to Mosley, but obviously the latter was tied up with countless metal ropes and chains and couldn't hold the wine glass, and he didn't seem to want to drink it.

"What a pity, this is good wine." Vito said and drank it himself, "Since you betrayed us with that slut! You betrayed the Lord of Redeemer! You will go to hell! Go to hell!"

Vito looked at the religious believer in front of him with great fun, and even couldn't help laughing. This made Mosley stunned. He seemed not to understand where Vito's feeling of being amused came from.

"Oh, my friend, I have never believed in your redeemer. Where does the betrayal come from?" He smiled jokingly, looking at Mosley in front of him like a child, who fell silent. For a moment, his eyes suddenly widened.

He originally thought that Vito was just a villain who was greedy for power, but now it seems that he was wrong, completely wrong. He should have discovered this a long time ago, why did he discover it now! ?

"You are a member of the false emperor! Those heretical spies above!" He roared, the beast-like sound sounded again, the chains clicked on him, and he seemed to be trying to break free from the chains.

Vito smiled again and pointed at the thick chains, "Come on, I used these chains to chain a Khorne demon, and the bastard was still on fire, so you can forget it."

"And, do you need me to remind you? The object of your faith is also the emperor." "That is a false emperor! The real emperor has long been transcendent! He still flies into the highest heaven! He has become a real god!"

"You! The Lord of Terra you worship is just a corpse! A tool without divinity used by greedy people to deceive all living beings! Lord of Redemption! The true Emperor will punish you! He will soon It will come!”

Mosley shouted, Vito turned his head slightly and looked at the person in front of him suspiciously, Chaos Believer? Not sure, Vito had heard many Chaos followers shout similar things.

"Out of courtesy, Mosley, will you tell me the full truth? About your cult and what happened to you on the station?" "No! I would rather die! Than betray my Lord! The Emperor will save me My soul, take me to the highest heaven!”

"Tell me! Traitor, are you a spy sent by the infidels of the Ministry of Justice?" Mosley said with a glare, while Vito raised his eyebrows jokingly, "Ministry of Justice? You mean, the local system government has been betrayed by you?" Penetrated that deeply?”

Mosley was stunned and looked at the man in front of him in great astonishment, "You are not a Victorian!" "Correct answer."

Vito showed a sympathetic smile and looked at the guy in front of him, "Now, please allow me to introduce this friend of mine."

Vito gestured sideways to Omega. He had already assembled the device. There were countless cable sockets on the device, and the holographic display flashed on it. Everything revolved around an object, a constantly changing Green crystal.

That thing is constantly reorganizing and regenerating in the form of fragments. It is similar to liquid, but not liquid. But only one thing is certain, it is definitely not something made by humans.

Mosley looked at the thing in surprise. He obviously didn't understand it, but it was normal. Only if he understood it could there be ghosts.

Vito walked to the device with a smile and patted Omega on the shoulder. "This is Omega. As you can see, a great sage of the Mechanicus from Mars. To be precise, the great sage of biology and control. He I can cut you into pieces, and I can also read your memory, with the help of this beauty."

Vito showed off the strange device with great pride, "Memory reader! I "borrowed" this good thing from the Huangquan-8 Forging World, but it took a lot of effort."

"Vito, a member of the Mechanicum of Underworld-8, doesn't know that you took away the reader. For their memory data, the memory reader has been destroyed. A war started by the Alpha Rebellion Space Marines "

"You just took it away in the chaos. I don't think it can be called a loan." Omega said word by word, using that ecstatic electronic sound.

"Well, we helped a lot back then, right? Without our group of Alpha bastards, the Forge World's plasma reactor would have been blown away into the warp."

"Rounding it up means they agreed. Anyway, I didn't see the Skitarii holding plasma to collect, so that's it!" Vito shouted loudly, "This thing can read your memory and read the little secrets you don't want to tell. Take it out and we'll know everything soon."

He smiled and said, "There is just a small problem. It seems that the people in Huangquan-8 have not figured out how to use this alien crystal properly, so... your brain may be burned, but you must believe in the Lord of Redeemer! Omega ,please."

Vito said and stepped aside. Omega walked up on the mechanical iron feet. The cable in his hand burst out with arcs of electricity. Mosley's eyes widened when he looked at the thing, and he shouted in a hysterical voice.

Vito smiled, waved slightly and walked towards the door, "Omega, read something and let me know." "Understood."

Vito walked out of the door amid screams.
