Chapter 171: It

"By Sheath-Winged Sanguinius, this tribal brother, do you mind if I share a table with you?"

"As a brother who also flows with the blood of Sheath-Winged Sanguinius, you certainly won't refuse me, right?"

Zhou Yun looked at Mephiston in front of him, the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile, and he asked in an extremely sincere tone.

His voice carried an irresistible sincerity, and Mephiston's body hesitated slightly.

Mephiston seemed to be worried that refusing Zhou Yun might cause him to be exposed too early.

Genestealers almost all treat each other as tribal brothers and rarely refuse such a small request as sharing a table.

He nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "... Okay."

This confirmed Zhou Yun's guess.

If it were purely to deal with the Genestealers,

Mephiston came to find the Lictor who infiltrated Baal; he did not want to expose his identity too early.

According to Zhou Yun's memory, a Lictor secretly infiltrated Baal by attaching itself to the outer wall of the Flesh Tearer Chapter's cabin.

In the future, that Lictor would dig into the Angel's Fortress through the pipes buried in the desert, cooperating with Raveners and Genestealers.

Not only did it destroy the void shield array of the Angel's Fortress, but it also destroyed the Sarcophagus Hall where the Blood Angels cultivated new recruits. Zhou Yun would like to call that Lictor the Chosen of the Great Devourer.

He withdrew his thoughts, sat opposite Mephiston, and said in a tone so sincere it was moving:

"Praise Sheath-Winged Sanguinius, you are indeed a brother who flows with the blood of Sheath-Winged Sanguinius just like me, so kind, willing to let me, this poor, starving tribal brother who just lost his brother, share a table with you."

Zhou Yun's voice was creepy; the emotion in his tone was so thick that it gave people goosebumps,

as if Mephiston had done something worth Zhou Yun's gratitude for a lifetime.

Mephiston was clearly stunned; even he couldn't assert that the gratitude in Zhou Yun's voice was fake.

"Let us praise Sheath-Winged Sanguinius together! Devoutly praise the blood of Sheath-Winged Sanguinius flowing in our bodies!" Zhou Yun said sincerely.

Mephiston's expression twisted slightly; he lowered his voice and said: "Praise Sheath-Winged Sanguinius..."

"... Praise the blood of Sheath-Winged Sanguinius flowing in our bodies." When he said the latter sentence, he was almost gritting his teeth.

He said it! He really said it!

Zhou Yun couldn't help but hook a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Watching Mephiston pray to Sheath-Winged Sanguinius with a gloomy face, he had a sense of satisfaction like Slaanesh tempting a pure girl to fall.

The winged figure in the white light couldn't help but shake his head, as if complaining about Zhou Yun teasing his descendants.

However, Mephiston quickly adjusted his mindset.

As an infiltrator, he must have expected this moment.

Sheath-Winged Sanguinius is a fake faith, with no correspondence in the Warp, unlike the four Chaos Gods, the remaining Eldar gods, Gork and Mork, and the emerging Saint Doraemon on Baal.

Praying to Sheath-Winged Sanguinius will not produce any adverse effects.

For the sake of the Blood Angels, the Emperor, and humanity, Mephiston could even use those ancient blasphemous evil arts.

Just praying to a fake faith, he could fully accept it.

"Give me a portion of spiced wine with human blood, roasted servant, and headless civilian."

"The raw materials must be under twenty years old, preferably blood-kin produced locally on Baal."

Zhou Yun, sitting opposite Mephiston, turned his head and said to the restaurant owner behind him.

The owner, covered in chitinous shells and handling meals with four arms at the same time, couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"This tribal brother really loves to joke; we are not ghouls blown stupid by radiation!"

"Descendants of Sheath-Winged Sanguinius cannot commit such blasphemous acts of cannibalism!"

"I will make you a portion of salt-baked fire scorpion and a portion of blood-grass root soaked in water."

Zhou Yun made a gesture to the owner, indicating no problem.

Mephiston, sitting opposite him, had already clenched his fists, and the anger in his eyes flashed by.

Zhou Yun's sarcasm was too sharp and precise, hitting Mephiston's pain point directly...

But Mephiston quickly calmed down.

Indeed precise and sharp, too precise and sharp.

If the other party didn't know Mephiston's identity, it would be impossible to hit Mephiston so coincidentally...

Did the Genestealer opposite not be affected by the cognitive distortion he released?

This made Mephiston stunned; he was confident enough in his psychic powers, and even if the Genestealer Patriarch didn't pay special attention, it would be difficult to see through.

And the man in front of him seemed to be deliberately looking for Mephiston... Mephiston couldn't figure out how he was exposed.

He almost wanted to use his own psychic powers to probe the will of the man in front of him—

Danger!!!

A sense of danger that almost tore Mephiston's soul apart rose from his psychic premonition, instantly interrupting Mephiston's action.

Some sweat flowed down Mephiston's forehead.

He recalled everything that had just happened and quickly judged that the man in front of him was definitely not a Genestealer.

This man must be using a fake face! And the acting skills and playful mockery he just showed...

Damn, Tzeentch! Mephiston first suspected the Lord of Change.

Just because not long ago, a Greater Daemon of the Lord of Change had tried to provoke a civil strife among Sanguinius's descendants, fortunately, it was stopped by him and Rafen, a warrior of the 6th Company.

But Mephiston quickly realized something was wrong.

If it were a Greater Daemon of the Lord of Change, it would at least hide deeper.

His mockery just now, perhaps the Genestealers around couldn't realize it,

but Mephiston, as a Blood Angel, would definitely realize that this was satirizing himself and his blood brothers.

Who drinks blood and who eats people, can Mephiston not know?

The person opposite is reminding Mephiston of his identity?

Mephiston suddenly realized and faintly realized who the person in front of him was.

As a Librarian of the Blood Angels, he already knew that Saint Doraemon and Zhou Yun of Ashford were the same person.

And he knew that Zhou Yun had the unique ability to change his appearance, so he quickly realized the identity of the person in front of him.

This made Mephiston feel creepy; this candidate for three positions in the Warp was sitting in front of him so coincidentally.

How could he be here? Why did he come? Does he have any connection with the Genestealers?

And Mephiston's cover had no effect... Mephiston's eyes looking at Zhou Yun couldn't help but carry vigilance.

But judging from the experience of Ashford, this person should be hostile to the swarm.

Zhou Yun looked at the expressions on Mephiston's face that changed several times within a few seconds, from anger to calm, from suspicion to vigilance, and finally, there was even some awe in his eyes looking at Zhou Yun.

This made Zhou Yun feel speechless; didn't he just make a joke with him?

He often made such jokes with the winged figure in the white light, and you see he didn't get anxious now, did he?

You know, the winged figure in the white light might be the man who could become his father.

Forget it, at least he realized Zhou Yun's identity and was tentatively aware that Zhou Yun had no malice toward him.

Zhou Yun was really curious about how Mephiston found the Lictor's location.

According to the normal timeline, he shouldn't know.

"Where did the tribal brother come from, how did you come, and where are you going?" Zhou Yun pondered his words and said.

There were too many Genestealers around, and he couldn't ask directly. And what Zhou Yun was more worried about was... whether the gaze of the Blood God was watching them.

Saying too much information rashly might let the Blood God discover his true purpose.

"Ah?" Mephiston blinked in confusion, but the confusion only existed for a moment before he understood the meaning in Zhou Yun's words.

"I came from a desert that was once a grassland; a rider carried me here to see the Living Saint Sanguineli."

Sure enough, he came for the Lictor... Wait, grassland? Rider?

Zhou Yun, who captured the keywords, suddenly realized that it was Jaghatai Khan; it was the Khan who told Mephiston about the existence of the Lictor.

Khan! You didn't abandon your fellow countryman!

As for why the Khan came...

Zhou Yun guessed it was because when he opened the Anywhere Door, he brushed past the Khan in the Webway.

The Khan might have noticed the winged figure in the white light beside Zhou Yun at that time.

Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment.

If this was the case, the Khan might have told Mephiston about this matter.

That is to say, Mephiston might know that Sanguinius could be resurrected.

Zhou Yun and Mephiston's eyes collided fiercely.

This is a topic that absolutely cannot be discussed!

The Blood God has always been paying attention to Baal; if Zhou Yun or Mephiston directly spoke about this matter,

I'm afraid a Greater Daemon would smash into this Genestealer stronghold in the next moment.

However, Sanguinius's resurrection cannot be discussed... Guilliman's resurrection seems to be okay?

Zhou Yun pondered his words, grinned, and said:

"I think Roboute Guilliman has betrayed humanity and defected to the swarm."

"Ah?" Mephiston was stunned by Zhou Yun's inexplicable sentence.

"First, Roboute Guilliman is very good at building troops, and the swarm is also very good at building troops."

"Second, Guilliman is always on the way to reinforce Terra, and the main force of the Tyranid swarm is also always on the way."

"Then, we all know that the reason why the Tyranid swarm came to the galaxy is likely because Roboute Guilliman lit the Pharos beacon, which is very critical."

"Finally, the decisive evidence is that when the swarm is about to descend on Baal, Roboute Guilliman happens to be returning; isn't this too coincidental?"

"Because he knows that the soon-to-be-resurrected Sheath-Winged Sanguinius will be the biggest obstacle to his harming humanity!"

"It was Guilliman who instructed the swarm to invade Baal to clear obstacles for him!"

"Ah???" Mephiston was full of question marks.
