Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 247 04.0246: ‘Bait’

“Theosophamy?”

“A psychic science that studies the interaction between the warp and reality.

Based on ritual and control, rather than pure power.

It can seal a certain mysterious energy in an object, which can be used to interfere with or close the cracks in the barrier between planes, rather than open them.

Even if the user is not a psychic, the cracks can be closed, so among the ethnic groups that learn to use this skill, a rare and important position is often born - ‘Exorcist '. ”

Thei looked at the girl and the 'Luban Lock' in her hand:

"There is no doubt that her ancestral bloodline comes from a family of 'exorcists'.

And this lock is the 'key' to seal the small subspace rift.

Her mother may have had an accident during a seal, and a certain process went wrong, which backfired and caused her to become insane and fall to death. ”

Hearing this, the girl was dumbfounded. There was worry, disbelief, and a sense of relief in her eyes, so that the Black Library fell into a terrible silence.

Hearing this explanation, she finally understood why her father never mentioned her mother.

"Then how should I use this power? I don't know any of the 'exorcist' skills you mentioned. ”

"Just continue to work on your password, and then I will borrow a few books from the Inquisitor. I think Your Excellency the Inquisitor will not mind, right?" The girl smiled and looked at the Inquisitor, her eyes full of cleverness and cunning.

The Inquisitor sighed. He chose Tei Perru as the throne agent not only because Brigadier General Edward Perru had made many contributions to the Inquisition and even received personal commendation from the Lord Inquisitor, but also because Brigadier General Perru's daughter Tei Perru was naturally intelligent, mature at a young age, and had an almost photographic memory.

In addition, she was an 'iota'-level psychic who was stuck on the edge of psychic review and did not need to enter the ranks of psychic control.

This psychic level was just at the level where she could actively and consciously manipulate psychic power, but the damage and impact were not great, and no control was needed.

Therefore, she could, to a certain extent, use some psychic tricks as she pleased and quietly obtain the information she wanted.

Thanks to all these talents, she was chosen as the 'throne agent' by the Lord Inquisitors of the Anti-foreign Order.

"As you wish, Miss Throne Deputy."

The girl's little thoughts were so obvious that even ordinary people could see through them at a glance, but when looking at her sparkling eyes, almost no one would have the heart to refuse her, making her look about to cry, even if they knew that was also pretended.

The Inquisitor obviously had no way to deal with the request of his number one disciple. After all, becoming the throne deputy means that this person has the power to completely act as the Inquisitor, just like the acting lieutenant of the Imperial Navy.

"Thank you! Teacher, you are the best. Next time Xiaoyao and I go shopping, I will definitely bring you black truffle cake~" Then she turned to the girl.

"Look, it's done. If you have time, you can learn from it. Maybe you will use it one day?"

Thei happily held Yin Shuyao's hand and hugged her intimately. The fragrant hair and small clothes also jumped. Anyone who came would think that this was a pair of sisters with a very good relationship.

At least it looked like that.

"Thank you, Miss Thei. I also hope to learn more about my mother and the exorcist family by learning this skill."

"Let's talk about the code." Lina interrupted: "Maybe this little thing is really a great help to our encryption, but how much time do we have?"

"Maybe we can consider doing a bait experiment first." The Inquisitor said: "Because I must activate the lure plan before the deadline of the Sabbath (Sunday) next week."

"So, Miss Perru, please start working, we are going to be busy." As a 'Hood faction', Lina said to Thei in a businesslike tone and expressionless face, but it sounded like a tit-for-tat.

[Uh... Is it really okay to let the three of them work together?] Horatio vaguely sensed the gunpowder smell between the girls.

He glanced at Louise beside him. She had a military background since she was a child and looked normal. She seemed to have noticed nothing and seemed to have no idea what the 'intrigues and struggles' between the girls were all about.

"By the way, Horatio. Should we take some time these days to visit the orphans we rescued in the Church of the Goddess?"

Horatio's divergent thoughts were interrupted. After reacting, he smiled and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"Have you heard about the recent serial disappearance of child stars in the Hive? I'm a little worried."

——

As a Hive planet, Abyss Port is also an important shipbuilding base.

Whenever the seasons change and the temperature begins to warm up, the exhaust gas emitted from shipyards and factories will raise a white haze in the metropolis.

The light rain mixed with pollutants blew down with a gust of wind. A lady from the Upper Nest, wearing a warm and thick fur coat and beautiful makeup on her face, held a small and exquisite umbrella and walked elegantly on the street in high heels.

With the haze weather and spring rain, the outdoor environment periodically deteriorates, and there are not many people on the brick and stone walkway at this time.

But as a ‘governess’ (a euphemism for mistresses handed down from ancient Terra France) of a wealthy family, she has her own professional requirements and needs to be on call at any time.

Perhaps the employer thought it would be more artistic to stand in front of the French window and watch the rain while doing things. So she was heading to the employer’s house not far from here in the not-so-good weather.

Suddenly, she saw a strange man in a top hat standing in front of her with his back to her.

The woman stopped instantly and looked at the mysterious man in a purple raincoat with vigilance.

Suddenly, the mysterious man turned around, revealing a scary and weird white smiley mask on his face, and walked straight towards the woman.

The woman felt something was wrong, threw away her umbrella and turned around to run. As soon as she screamed, she was covered with a handkerchief with a pungent smell by a person rushing out of the side alley, and dragged into the alley with her slender body that was gradually loosening.

Only one umbrella was left on the ground, and it drifted slowly across the street with the wind blowing through the alley. After an unknown amount of time, the muddy umbrella passed by a bunch of car lights.

Arbitrator Javert jumped out of the car from the co-pilot seat, followed by eight arbitrators from the Ministry of Justice holding shotguns.

The arbitrator picked up the umbrella from the ground, looked at it, and frowned.

"Search the vicinity! Two people in a group."

The arbitrators took action immediately, but the shadows had already sunk into deeper darkness.

As the number of missing persons cases became more and more frequent, a strange legend of the foggy city gradually spread on the ground and underground of Abyss Port.

——

After 6 hours of urgent repairs by drawing on the wisdom of the crowd.

"Thank you for your help. I have been thinking about the uniqueness of these five points for a long time but I still can't figure it out, so I have never dared to use this password, fearing that it will cause errors."

"You're welcome, they are just small problems." Lina straightened her back and waist, which were sore from sitting for hours with her head bent, stretched her body with difficulty, and then took out a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe the sweat from her forehead. She didn't look as relaxed as she said.

"I will immediately ask the Admiralty to send three consecutive encrypted communications to your Cogitator array. The signal uses a second-level strong signal, which appears both anxious and natural, and it is not easy to see that we are using tricks. I think you can ask Inquisitor Adlatia to prepare for detection."

"Just do as you say, Mr. Cochrane." The Inquisitor looked at the Cogitator array and neatly sent a low-frequency signal to the female Inquisitor, who was a temporary ally this time but might kill each other next time. Hidden in the stronger signal sent to multiple places at the same time, it was like a small boat quietly drifting through the busy signal Grand Canal.

Theosophamy comes from page 69 of the background book "The Inquisition" published by GW in 2007. It is a psychic science mastered by a minority of human races. The user does not need to be a psychic, which avoids the risk of being quickly corrupted, so as to close the rift.
