……

Morning.

"Master Chuck, you have a letter from Rev. Vic of the Mechanic Order."

"I see."

Chuck, one of the three existing inquisitors on the ship, took the letter from the servant, opened it, and read it carefully.

This is a routine debriefing about what Vic has seen in the world of the nest.

Although none of this information is important, and the Inquisition can obtain this information through a hundred means that cannot be concealed, the presence of Vic has greatly accelerated the acquisition of information.

After jotting down all the information on the letter, Chuck walked over to the porthole of the room and observed everything outside as usual.

In front of the ship are two space fortresses, which are not bastion-like structures, but rather very standard round shapes.

A large number of black orbs flew back and forth around the building, and many machines that looked like some kind of sea creature climbed up and down the fortress shell.

Chuck doesn't understand why the people in this galaxy like spheres so much.

The fortress in front of you is like this, and the man-made buildings on the orbit of the nest capital world are like this, but the volume is larger or smaller.

After thinking for a moment, Chuck suddenly remembered a speculation that Vic had once said to himself.

It may be that the fortress seen now is not just a fortress, but a small-scale celestial system, and it may be that the two existing fortresses are the moons of some super-large planetary structure in the future, like a turret.

Chuck thought it was ridiculous, he just felt that these things in front of him had a unique beauty, giving him a sense of solemnity and solemnity.

"Don't you think it's fascinating?" Chuck said abruptly to the servant.

"I just feel horrible." The servant replied, "I can't imagine if those two fortifications were armed, and opened fire on us......"

Chuck is a nice guy, so the servants dare to tell the truth in front of him, and Chuck also likes to hear the truth, what he hates the most is lies, and his favorite is machinery.

"Don't be so hostile and prejudiced." Chuck turned his head to look at the minions, "Don't be like Rena, their conservative lunatics see everyone as a heretic, and she told me you might be a heretic." ”

"Nothing can shake my loyalty to you." The servant knelt down and said.

"I know." Chuck is just talking.

Both were silent.

Until the slaves on the ship brought breakfast into the room, walked to the porthole without raising their heads, and handed the tray to Chuck.

Chuck picked up the bread and wine with the paste in it, and as he ate it, he observed the fort construction work outside the porthole.

When a manned machine doesn't hold itself firmly to the surface of the fortress and floats off the surface of the fortress due to some bump while working, Chuck will stop nervously and watch.

And when the machine floats back to the surface of the fortress in various ways to continue working, Chuck will clench his fists and cheer him on.

After a happy breakfast, Chuck looked at the servant and asked, "Have you seen Rena since last night?" I went to look for her last night and there seemed to be no one in the room. ”

"See." The servant replied respectfully, "I saw the Inquisitor at the tarmac. ”

"Don't be an Inquisitor, she's just like me, she's not a formal Inquisitor." Chuck said as he walked out the door.

When the servant wanted to ask Chuck where he wanted to go, he heard Chuck say a word without looking back.

"I've got to keep an eye on that slut lest she secretly make a big deal out of it."

……

A moment later.

Chuck leaned against the doorframe of Rena's room, listening quietly as she explained why she thought everyone in the Tyrone system was heretical.

These reasons are not far from what was said yesterday, there is not much detailed evidence, it is all based on feelings and suspicion of various technological creations of unknown origin in the Tyrone system.

Suspicion of unsolicited technological creations is also the focus of Chuck and another inquisitor's investigation, who also think these technological creations are weird, but do not consider the people who use them to be hereticals.

After listening, Chuck said to Rena, "Have you ever thought that maybe these things were made by STC templates?" ”

"Are you kidding?" Rena couldn't believe her ears, and stood up and yelled at Chuck and asked, "Do you think it's normal that there are so many STC templates in a remote galaxy that doesn't even have a star zone?!" ”

Chuck was accustomed to Rena's attitude, he looked at Rena indifferently, and his tone was understated: "Then what do you think is the situation?" There is a super powerful person in a remote galaxy that is not even divided into star regions, and he has researched these technological creations? Are you kidding me? ”

Rena was speechless, and wanted to talk about some reason that these technologies might be alien creations, but she also felt that this was unlikely, and finally stopped arguing and pushed Chuck away and left the room.

Chuck watched quietly as Rena left.

He wondered what this guy was doing yesterday, but now it seems that she didn't do anything, she just got out of her room.

Out of professional habit, Chuck even wondered if Rena was still the same person, but from her performance, it could be concluded that this suspicion was purely superfluous and unnecessary.

After making sure Rena didn't do anything last night, Chuck walked out of the room as well.

But just after Chuck took a dozen steps, he suddenly thought of one more thing, Rena didn't know about the kidnapping when she planned the kidnapping before, maybe she deliberately hid something?

Thinking of this, Chuck turned back to Rena's room and began to search for everything in the place.

After rummaging through it for a long time, Chuck's eyes fell on a diamond-shaped metal box on the table, which he recognized as Rena's belongings that could be used to record things remotely.

Chuck immediately opened the box to check its contents.

There was a note in it that was blank and there was nothing.

"Hmph, you'd better do nothing." Chuck snorted and put down the box, but instead of leaving immediately, he took five steps back, then two more to the left, and finally one small step back.

After taking a few steps as if performing a ritual, Chuck crouched down to pick up the floor beneath his feet and pulled out a tiny bug from inside.

Chuck shoved the bugging into his ear to listen to the recording, then closed the floor, turned to leave the room and closed the door.

"I cut off your head, heretic!"

"Witness my glory, my victory! Witness the death of your wicked governor! ”

At first, it was just two dream words, and Chuck frowned as he listened, but just as he was about to take out the bug, he heard footsteps again.

It is the sound produced when the power armor collides with the metal floor.

Chuck frowned at the fact that it wasn't easy, and his instincts told him that someone had entered Rena's room last night, and that it was someone in power armor.

The collision sound produced by this power armor was not loud, and it was different from the noise made by ordinary power armor, which made Chuck even more suspicious.

By the time the recording was finished, Chuck had walked to his room.

"The priest is waiting for you." The servant respectfully reported to Chuck as he entered, then walked out of the room and closed the door.

Chuck looked to the table, and sure enough, he saw Vic sitting there, the priest of the Mechanic Order staring at him with his neck turned behind his back.

"Listen to this." Chuck sat down at the table and pulled out the bugging device and placed it on the table.

Vic stared at the bug for a moment, and the auditory augmentation device he had implanted had transferred the contents of the bug and played it.

"Pretty normal recording." Vic gave a cold response.

"Normal? No! Chuck lowered his voice, "Is it possible that someone teleported into Rena's room last night and carried her on his shoulders?" Don't you think it's strange that you've seen the capabilities of those teleporters, and those high-level power armors? ”

Vic's last fleshy eye stared at Chuck, and after a moment of silence, he said in a commanding tone, "Destroy it." ”

Chuck didn't say yes or refuse, just sat silently.

"Destroy it." Vic repeats his commands like a machine.

Chuck was silent for a few more minutes before picking up the bug, clutching it in his hand and smashing it.

Vic's face, which was only a quarter of flesh, had no expression on it, and there was no trace of a wave in his eyes.

"It's a nuisance, and I hope you're making the right decision, because we're in big trouble if things come to light in the future." Chuck spilled the powder on the table as he warned, "You'd better think it through...... Father. ”

There is a period of development between the second and first volumes, a year and a half, and I have skipped this year and a half, so the second volume is a year and a half after the last chapter of the first volume
