Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 195 03.0194: ‘The entry point to the darkness’

While Horatio was deep in thought.

Judge Ravenor also reminded:

"But you still have a certain degree of initiative in this matter. The ceremony will be held in multiple churches. You can choose which places to pass and which church to arrive at.

At the same time, you must also consider that even if the Ministry of Interior has done its best in the papering work, the paper cannot cover the fire. This fleet accident will still cause an uproar in the Abyss Port. "

The Inquisitor looked Horatio in the eyes and said:

"The Navy needs the support of all parties, including the public. The ceremony is a good opportunity to boost and appease the public's emotions, and demonstrate in front of big figures from all parties that it can still perform its duties."

"Yes, those bugs in the dark thought they had won, thought they could reign supreme in our anchorage."

Horatio rubbed the sword at his waist and said coldly:

"But this time they kicked the steel plate. Doing so will only result in more ferocious attacks and revenge from our Gothic fleet."

The judge looked at Horatio's blue eyes burning with anger, and was satisfied to see the strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

"I will do my best to help, Mr. Cochrane." The judge said solemnly:

“The Gothic Fleet possesses the most elite special operations force on the entire planet, and its relevant departments have rich intelligence resources.

Coupled with the achievements left by Lieutenant General Hood, these are far more helpful to the investigation than my nearly unlimited power as an inquisitor, which only exists in legal principles.

Therefore, I chose you, who can make full use of the above advantages, as the leading role in this investigation. "

The man sat up, put his hands on the table, and approached Horatio: "Show your strength and prove to everyone that as a descendant of the legend, you are still capable of continuing to write the glory of the legend and let those insects in the darkness When I hear your name, I will be so scared that I can’t sleep at night, hiding in a dark, dirty and smelly corner, shivering.”

"I will. This time, I will uproot them and make them pay an unbearable price."

He remembered every word he said to Farida.

He will avenge her and bring her out of the haze again.

"You need the help of some experts. One of my students was recently promoted by me to serve as the Throne Agent. She has rich experience in investigation and research. She will definitely be of great benefit to your investigation after becoming your assistant."

The Inquisitor's system is a secret to ordinary people in the empire, and basically no one can figure out the structure of this mysterious 'Agent of the God-Emperor' organization.

But Horatio, as a time traveler, knew what the inquisitor was talking about.

Among the many confidants of the Inquisitor, the Inquisitor will often promote apprentices who show extraordinary resourcefulness and unique abilities to serve as Throne Actors after examination. They are all trusted and experienced assistants of the Inquisitor.

Generally speaking, the student who is also the judge's favorite will have the opportunity to be recommended as a real judge.

"Is that the one outside the door before?" Horatio asked.

"No, but I think you have seen it." The judge snapped his fingers, and the door to the side hall slowly opened automatically.

What appeared through the automatic door was a beautiful figure that still had some childishness left.

The well-cut custom-made dress not only shows the fluffy youthful cuteness, but also outlines the girl's slender figure like a branch that has not yet fully grown.

The light blue high-grade fabric tightly wrapped the pair of fruits on the twigs. Looking forward, I could vaguely see the future grace of this beautiful woman.

Horatio looked at the visitor, slightly surprised.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Cocolon." There was a hint of cunning in the elegant and decent salute, and a clear and melodious voice like a skylark came to him.

The person who came was none other than Brigadier General Peru’s daughter—Miss Thei Peru.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that you would actually be... the judge's throne representative?"

Horatio is still immersed in this severe sense of identity contrast.

He suddenly understood Thei's preference for making specimens of alien creatures.

She was simply born to be a Holy Body against foreigners.

"I am studying 'Galaxy Ecology' at Gothic University. My tutor is His Excellency Judge Clarence Ravenor. He has provided me with many research samples. Good afternoon, tutor." Tei said generously and gracefully. Greetings to the Inquisitor.

Horatio now hears the term 'galactic ecology', and combined with her status as the representative of the Throne of the Foreign Order, it is somewhat of a joke from hell.

"Although you are also very good, after all, you are already a prospective second lieutenant of the Imperial Navy.

Miss Thei Peru has a strong interest in researching aliens in the galaxy, after she successfully becomes an inquisitor.

She is one of the people I mentioned before who might take my place as a representative of the Tribunal to secretly protect you.

You can be mentally prepared in advance. Miss Thei may be responsible for thwarting those conspiracies and protecting your safety in the future. "

"Junior, please give me some advice." The girl said with a smile.

When she said this, Horatio remembered that the girl in front of him was only 15 years old. Judging from the school age, she was really his senior sister.

Although he is older, he only officially became a midshipman at Goth University Officer Preparatory School yesterday.

"No problem, I think with the help of Miss Peru, a lot of troubles can be solved, but where do you plan to start from?" Horatio looked into the man's eyes and asked.

"I want to cut in from the underground world."

The man said: "Whether it is the state religion, the upper nest nobles, or any other imperial department, these people will always choose to stick together for warmth when facing external investigations.

No matter whether the facts are right or wrong, driven by the narrow bureaucratic selfish instinct, they always give priority to unity. This is especially true for the state religion."

Thinking of this, he frowned unhappily:

"Of course, I can use the power of the Inquisitor to break this protection arbitrarily.

But this also means that after being offended, if there is no conclusive evidence, the state religion system on the entire planet will stand on the opposite side of us with tens of billions of ordinary believers in the next period of time.

This will cause meaningless turmoil and bloodshed within the entire Gothic star zone, and even subvert the rule of the empire here, just like Flax, which is not worth the loss."

"Lieutenant General Hood has listed a list with clues to the suspects." Horatio said.

"This is a good starting point. Let's start with those guys who are not so high in status.

Based on my experience, there are more or less various forms of connections between these guys who play tricks. We have to peel off these skins layer by layer, pull out their bones, and finally go straight to the heart."

Horatio, who was a marine police law enforcement officer in his previous life, knew what the judge meant.

After all, Vice Admiral Hood's list is just a suspect list, and there is no definite evidence of conviction.

In other words, if Vice Admiral Hood had clear evidence of conviction, he would not hand over these documents to Commodore Peru to check them, but would directly bring the military police to arrest people.

In this case, starting with a high-ranking figure is not only easy to alert the enemy.

If it is finally verified that there is no problem with the person, their backlash will only push the Gothic Fleet, which is already in trouble, into a worse situation.

The upper echelons of the fleet are trying to get closer to the bigwigs in other departments in order to buy time for investigation and resolve the public opinion storm.

If the Navy Intelligence Department investigated these big shots in a big way right from the start, I'm afraid that before they could find out anything, this behavior would be regarded as a blatant discrediting of the fleet generals, making all their public relations work go down the drain.

Not only would it offend a lot of people for no reason, it would also cause panic in the Upper Nest, adding fuel to the current bad situation, leaving the fleet completely isolated and in a dangerous situation.

At that time, when the Inquisitors got into trouble with the fleet, no one would come forward to protect the safety of the fleet.

"According to the information on the list, it is indeed better for us to start with the key points of the underground world." Horatio said.

"My intelligence shows that these people regard the chaotic Vegas Middle and Lower Nest areas as the main core of their operations and missionary locations.

That should be their main base. After all, in the Upper Nest, the eyes of the Ministry of Justice are still sharp, and no one dares to do those crooked ways openly."

"Speaking of the Ministry of Justice." Horatio's eyes turned and he thought of a key person.

"There is an arbitration law enforcement officer who had a feud with the cult here eight years ago."

Horatio's words aroused the interest of Inquisitor Ravenno.

"Eight years ago, he followed his mentor and teammates to the lower nest to investigate clues of terrorist attacks, but was betrayed by the guide and ambushed, and the team was almost wiped out. Then, a large-scale crash occurred in the shuttle returning to the surface of the planet from the Abyss Port Starport."

The Inquisitor grasped the key point at a glance: "So, what did this arbitrator and his mentor find? Why did the cultists break their usual hiding and ambush the Ministry of Justice team?"

"Yes, under normal circumstances, exposing some unimportant strongholds and human eyes should be enough for the Ministry of Justice team to divert the tiger away from the mountain. But that time, they were ambushed at the level of team annihilation.

Obviously, the cultists did not want them to send back the investigation results they found, so they took the risk and chose..."

The two people looked at each other knowingly.

"Silence." The Inquisitor said.

"Before I entered Zhongsi College, I was deliberately attacked by a renegade security inspector, which shows that the Abyss Port Law Department is not a peaceful place."

"Interesting. Where is the arbitrator?"

"Unfortunately, he was injured in the battle of the Heavenly Maiden Church, broke seven bones, and is still lying in the intensive care unit."

"Let's peel off a few layers of the heretic's skin first, and then go to visit him after his condition improves.

Lest we alert the snake and be discovered by some spies hiding in the dark, so that they can take the initiative to attack the arbitrator who is sleeping."
