Chapter 302

~9 min read 1,746 words

Zhou Yun took out an arm-length mirror from the four-dimensional pocket.

The back of the mirror was orange all-metal, installed with a series of buttons.

"Ta-da! Tracking Image Mirror!"

Zhou Yun held up this mirror to show Sanguinius and Guilliman in the room.

【Item Name: Tracking Image Mirror】

【Origin: 22nd Century Earth - Future Department Store】

【Production Time: 261. M3】

【Function: An item that looks like a mirror. After pressing the button for someone or something, you can continuously reflect the scenes and sounds experienced by that person or object on the mirror. It also has additional functions such as replay, resizing, sound, and adjusting playback speed.】

A simple-function item, the price is not expensive, but it is extremely practical.

As long as it is selected by this mirror, everything experienced thereafter will be recorded, and it can even be viewed from different directions and angles.

And this peeping is almost impossible to be stopped unless the peeped person directly destroys the Tracking Image Mirror.

Long before resurrecting Guilliman, Zhou Yun had used this item on Sylandri Veilwalker.

Even without the Mind-Lock Scarab, her whereabouts still couldn't escape Zhou Yun's eyes.

Zhou Yun dialed the button on the back of the mirror, and Sylandri Veilwalker's figure appeared on the mirror.

Sylandri Veilwalker in the mirror looked at the Black Library with an embarrassed face, looked up at Cegorach floating in mid-air, and showed an embarrassed silly smile.

"Hehehe, that... Boss Cegorach."

"Everything I said was to deceive the 'Death God of Humanity'. Although you have always read but not replied, I have always believed that the great Laughing God will not abandon His children."

"Of course, even if you abandoned me, it doesn't matter. The kindness of the Laughing God cannot be repaid. You are the only sun in my heart!"

"Shut up." Cegorach pinched His chin and floated from one side of the Black Library to the other, waving His hand to interrupt Sylandri Veilwalker's words: "I am thinking!"

"Is this the last relatively complete and sober god of the Aeldari, the Laughing God Cegorach?"

Guilliman asked, wrapped in a blanket, sitting beside Zhou Yun.

The mirror reflected Cegorach's figure. He looked like a funny and abstract clown.

The pale, powdered face was covered with funny wrinkles and makeup, the mouth was split very long, revealing a series of sharp teeth, and the hooked nose penetrated the forehead, combined with the sharp chin, like a strange crescent moon.

He wore a funny clown suit like a robe, but the lower body seemed to be composed of flowing colored ink, seemingly virtual and real.

Although separated by a mirror, Guilliman could feel that this so-called Laughing God was indeed unique. Just looking at it gave birth to a feeling of wanting to laugh out of thin air.

"This is the racial god of the Aeldari," Guilliman muttered to himself.

He once didn't believe in the existence of gods and ghosts, thinking that the world was purely material, but everything experienced in the Horus Heresy reshaped his cognition.

Although Guilliman was still unwilling to believe in so-called faith, there were indeed some ghost-like existences in the galaxy. Daemons, gods, and even Living Saints all existed.

This also made him discover a problem in his rational mind...

"Where did the racial god of humanity go?" Guilliman asked with doubt.

The Aeldari have a pantheon, and the Orks have Gork and Mork. It makes no sense that there is no god belonging exclusively to the human race, right?

After all, in human history, there are also many mythological stories... It is not impossible that there is truth in them.

Zhou Yun and Sanguinius looked at each other, and then looked at Guilliman with a strange face, as if asking Guilliman with their eyes if he knew what he was talking about.

"What's wrong?" Guilliman asked with a frown.

Zhou Yun opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after holding it for a while, only one sentence came out: "This blanket is really beautiful."

Guilliman was wrapped in a blanket to drive away the cold, and the ice on his face was slowly melting.

Zhou Yun remembered that he had seen this blanket in the reliquary; it was one of the things Guilliman hoped Zhou Yun would not sell.

"Oh, this is a relic of Ms. Yvraine, she used to knit it for me." Guilliman said with a little nostalgia in his tone.

"..." Sanguinius's expression twisted slightly: "This is what my brothers often say: Robert Guilliman's unconscious sense of superiority."

Guilliman was slightly confused.

"Let's hurry up and find the location of the Black Library." Zhou Yun interrupted the conversation between the two with a twitching expression and turned his gaze back to the mirror.

He adjusted the mirror and began to play the scene above in reverse until the scene of Sylandri Veilwalker's escape appeared on the mirror.

"What's going on with these extra pieces of meat? Are you sure there's no problem?"

Sylandri Veilwalker in the mirror looked at the Haemonculus in horror and said.

She only noticed the extra meat in intense pain, but Zhou Yun and others noticed that the Haemonculus was missing a limb and two scissors after the surgery.

Subsequently, Sylandri Veilwalker was carried by the Harlequins and sent to the Illyrium region on Macragge, entering the Webway through the Webway gate within it.

"There is a Webway gate on Macragge?" Guilliman frowned.

"It's Illyrium again." Sanguinius sighed: "I should have listened to the Lion back then."

Conrad Curze was the one who caused trouble in this area back then.

Hearing this, Guilliman turned his head sharply.

"The Lion's suggestion was to orbital bombard the entire Illyrium! This is Macragge, my home planet and hometown!"

"Why didn't he go to bombard his Caliban?"

There was dead silence in the air. Sanguinius and Zhou Yun stared at Guilliman silently.

"... Did he really blow it up himself?" Guilliman quickly realized what the silence of the two meant, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Guilliman and Sanguinius tacitly stopped discussing this topic.

The two followed Zhou Yun to watch the route of Sylandri Veilwalker and the Harlequins in the Webway.

The two Primarchs, relying on their extraordinary skills, quickly outlined the route to the Black Library in the Webway near Macragge.

Cegorach paced in the air of the Black Library.

He was struggling, thinking.

Doraemon, or Zhou Yun, has some kind of ability that allows the souls of the Aeldari not to fall to Slaanesh after death, but to be reborn in another time and space.

And that time and space is called the "22nd Century", a future world without a Warp, which seems to exist only in the human fantasy of not having walked out of Terra.

Cegorach didn't know where that world came from or why it existed, but its effect was unquestionable.

This is another opportunity, an opportunity to save the Aeldari...

And unlike Ynnead, Cegorach has always been vigilant about his brother who has not fully awakened yet.

He is the Death God after all, the Death God who should have been born in the death of all Aeldari, but now he has initially awakened.

Ynnead is so cold, gloomy, and dull that Cegorach really can't like him.

On the contrary, this human god Doraemon is very much to Cegorach's taste...

It's just that in the depths of Cegorach's heart, besides the wish to save the Aeldari, there is another craving.

Revenge.

After the fall of the Aeldari, the Clown God laughed as always, but only the Harlequins and He Himself knew the pain and struggle in His heart.

But He is just a clown, the god of laughter, the god of art, the god of deception and trickery.

Even Asuryan couldn't defeat the god of hunger, even Khaine the Bloody-Handed was broken. What can He, a clown who can only flee in panic, do?

Slaanesh is not an idiot like the Outsider.

So Cegorach began to weave tricks and conspiracies year after year, day after day. He wanted to do something big, an ultimate joke, an act of revenge against Slaanesh...

And Ynnead stands on His side on this point. Ynnead and Slaanesh's positions are naturally opposite.

And Zhou Yun is different. Slaanesh seems to have a good impression of Zhou Yun and tried to win him over.

Zhou Yun refused Slaanesh's win-over, but clearly the relationship between the two didn't turn sour. Slaanesh seems to hope to suppress Ynnead by supporting Zhou Yun.

And Cegorach also knows that Ynnead seems to think Zhou Yun is a competitor for His position.

In the resurrection of Guilliman, he launched the traditional Aeldari backstab.

Clearly, Cegorach has to choose between Zhou Yun and Ynnead...

"This kind of crap should be left to Morai-Heg to measure the future. This is the job of her old crone god!"

"It shouldn't be left to me, a clown, to do it... Damn it!"

"Oh, damn, I forgot you're all really dead."

Cegorach waved His fists in hatred.

"I thought the Laughing God was always laughing, I didn't expect Him to get angry too?" A voice suddenly sounded, asking the Laughing God.

"If you remember that your whole family is basically dead, the one who survived is both stupid and has multiple personalities, one is kept by a stinky fat man, one is stuck halfway and not fully born, the children are all sex addicts and lunatics, and you have to bear the debts owed by the whole family alone, you will get angry too!"

Cegorach said without thinking, and He let out a series of squeaky sounds.

Then He quickly realized something was wrong. This voice was clearly not His Harlequin. He hurriedly lowered His head to look over.

I saw that beside the trembling Sylandri Veilwalker, a red-and-pink wooden door appeared.

Zhou Yun and Sanguinius walked out of the wooden door.

"Salute to you, Laughing God Cegorach, the fourth greatest liar in the galaxy, the current Lord of the Aeldari Pantheon, the main god, and the King of the Pantheon."

Zhou Yun bowed slightly to Cegorach, with a bright smile on the corner of his mouth:

"Although there is only one god left in the pantheon, and he is a main god without subordinates, and there is only one page left in the pantheon."

"But your greatness and glory need not be said, just like the Aeldari Empire, it will last forever."
