……

Night.

Vic returned to the ship on the transport plane as he had done every time he had done on an expedition, and Chuck just glanced at him as he had done before going on something else.

Vic sifted and recorded what he saw and heard in the hive world so that the Inquisitors could learn about the Tyrone system.

Normally, they would also screen for things that were bad for the Tyrone system, including the traces left by some of the heretics that had been eliminated before, but this time Vic was so determined to screen for things that he even glorified the situation in the hive.

After recording the record, Vic got up and left his room, heading to Chuck as usual.

The interior of the ship is very large, like a small city, and there are even people who live on the ship for generations, and they don't know what life is like on the ground.

Vic made his way through the ships, gradually coming to a dark, deep corridor.

The hallway was trembling, and a noise came from the other side.

This struck Vic as he stood still, waiting.

That is until a "giant" emerges from the shadows, clad in his trademark red robe, with a curved metal belly and a metal axe in his hand.

"Great Sage." Vic immediately saluted the giant, "When did you come?" ”

It was none other than the great sage of the Mechanics, Belisarius Kaul.

And behind Kaul there was another person, an old man, whose body was completely blocked by Kaul, and because he wanted to ask Vic about something, he came out from behind Kaul.

Vic didn't know the man next to Kaul, but he could guess that it was Horst of the Inquisition.

Kaul walked up to Vic and looked down at the diminutive subordinate, a cold mechanical voice coming from his sounder, "I was already on your way to Tyrone. ”

Vic was surprised by Kaul's arrival, he had thought that the Great Sage would not come to the Tyrone system in person, and he had not seen the Ark of Mechanic until he saw Kaul.

"I asked you to explore this galaxy, what information did you get?" Kaul asked.

Vic's electronic eyes flickered a few times, and Kaul immediately presented Kaul with a backup of the information he had recorded.

The stream of information is transmitted to Kaul, who continues to look at Vic, but is actually looking at the records.

Vic's record contains today's content, but it does not include the passage where he obtained the STC and traveled with Governor Tyrone, because if he thought that the Om Messiah had someone else exposed, it would be absolutely unbearable.

"How many STCs have you found in the Hive World?" Kaul asked after reading the transcript.

"Not a single one." Vic replied calmly.

Kaul was not angry after receiving such a weak answer, he stared at Vic for a while, and then nodded: "It seems that there are no STCs in this galaxy, and all they use are heretical technologies. ”

Hearing this, Vic did not rush to refute, he stood silent.

Kaul didn't say this to Vic, he turned his head to look at Horst, who was still silent: "What do you think?" ”

"Whether the people in this galaxy are heretics or not will have to wait for me to investigate." Horst said.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Vic felt a little bad, it would be easy if the Great Sage came alone, but Horst came so quickly, and the first stop was not to investigate the plague, obviously for the matter of the Tyrone system.

"While you're investigating, can I go to the Hive Capital World to meet this governor?" Kaul asked.

"Why are you asking me?" Horst asked rhetorically.

"Then I'd better go myself." Kaul glanced at Horst, then continued on his way, "If that governor is indeed a heretic, he will let the fortress and fleet smash my ship first, and you will have proof." ”

Horst silently watched Kaul leave, then looked at Vic, "Come and explain the situation to me, priest." ”

"Yes." Vic nodded.

……

A moment later.

Horst sat in Chuck's room, checking records about the galaxy.

Chuck and Rena, along with another inquisitor, have been transferred to deal with the plague, which is a direct order from Horst and no one can disobey it.

But Vic is a Mechon, so he won't be transferred, and although he was worried about being tortured by the Inquisition, Horst not only didn't torture him, but instead let him sit next to him.

"A man who led the populace to defeat the former Governor and integrated the entire galaxy......"

"Still a dutiful soldier."

Horst checked the records about Qin Mo, and he spoke without any expression or emotion, which made it impossible for Vic to tell whether he was approving or belittling Qin Mo.

Horst didn't approve or belittle, he just remembered something a long, long time ago.

In his childhood, there was a tyrant on his home planet, this tyrant was very cruel, all women and men had to get his consent when they married, his desire for control permeated every corner of the planet, and all those who rebelled against him could only become a piece of flesh torn apart by the steel hound.

Then a man named Eland Brandt joined the Resistance, and with his strength and psionic talents, he finally took out the tyrant, and Brandt became a member of the Inquisition.

Because the memory was so long, the next second after the memory flashed through Horst's brain, he remembered that he was the one who killed the tyrant.

Horst recounted his memories to Vic, and then waited for Vic's evaluation.

Kwick simply said, "You have something in common with Governor Tyrone. ”

"Nope." Horst shook his head, "How could I have the same thing as an unscrupulous person who uses a lot of technology from unknown sources?" It is not right for the people of the Tyrone system to shield and follow their Governor even though they know that he is an uncertified psyker. ”

"But...... But...... If you showed a gift of psionic talent in your youth and were taken away or executed by the Black Ship, can you still lead the Resistance to overthrow the tyrant? Vic asked in surprise.

"I'm thinking about it now, and I think I should have been certified before returning to my home planet to overthrow the tyrant." Horst replied.

Vic was stunned by this.

Horst smiled and shook his head: "You don't have to worry, I'm either a governor or a heretic in one bite of this galaxy...... To be honest, I think he's pretty good, and if the governor of my hometown was 10 percent good of him, I'd be an honest commoner. ”

Vic breathed a sigh of relief.

Horst sensed this in his eyes and body movements, and immediately asked, "You seem to be intent on shielding the Governor?" ”

"No, never." Vic shook his head.

"It doesn't matter if you have." Horst rolled up the parchment with the record and put it in his pocket, "The entire human race will face a catastrophe, and we need the power of the Tyrone system. ”

Vic was surprised: "What? Please wait a minute, I ......"

"You know the Governor, don't you?" Horst patted Vic on the shoulder, and continued, "Tomorrow you will go to the world of the Hive with me as my entourage, and I will have something important to talk to the governor. ”
