Chapter 72: Mists and clouds

~7 min read 1,284 words

He is kind-hearted and can't bear to see others suffer.

So, after emptying everything in Tot's brain, Alvin ended his pain.

After using psychic energy to wipe away the blood stains left in the room, he threw Tot's body into the backyard to fertilize the land, which should be considered waste utilization.

Next, Alvin reset the 'electrostatic veil' and disguised himself as 'Tot'.

From this moment on, he was Tot. Even if the person who knew Tot best appeared here now, it would be impossible to distinguish the difference between the two.

In order to disguise as flawlessly as possible, Alvin spent enough effort, from which hand Tot used to wipe his butt to which leg he used to walk, all of which were asked clearly.

The figures of the two were not much different, plus a full understanding, it should not be exposed in a short time.

Flipping through the documents in the room, as well as the materials just sent.

Alvin looked at it roughly for a few times and suddenly found the clues. But those who wanted to be sent to 'Iron Stone Town' mostly had amazing similarities.

The Iron Hammer Gang attracted Underhive people to join the gang by distributing supplies for free, and would divide them into two categories according to three standards: age, physical fitness, and whether they were disabled.

Young and strong people with good physical fitness, aged between twelve and forty, and without disabilities, would be included in the gang after screening and given the status of 'member'. A typical example is Emerich.

And those who were eliminated were either too old or too young, and most of them were disabled. After gathering 100 integers, they were uniformly escorted to 'Iron Stone Town' outside the Hive City by small leaders in each area.

As for what those people were responsible for doing after being sent to 'Iron Stone Town', it was unknown.

Just in the area responsible for Tot, six times had already been escorted. In other words... six hundred people were sent to Iron Stone Town and had disappeared since then!

"Sacrifice..." Alvin's emotions were a bit out of control. He kneaded the whole paper into a ball, his forehead burst with a few blue veins, and he tried his best to suppress the inexplicable anger: "The role of those people is sacrifice!"

In just one area, nearly a thousand people were sent to Iron Stone Town.

Small leaders responsible for such areas, in the range controlled by the Iron Hammer Gang in the Underhive, at least had hundreds.

Conservatively estimated, the number of missing people in the Underhive was at least tens of thousands. So many people were sent to Iron Stone Town, and no one could return, which was enough to explain the problem.

Except for being sent to sacrifice, there was absolutely no other possibility!

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, Alvin narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered: "Being able to send so many people out of the Hive City without the obstruction of enforcers... should be related to 'Rashid'."

It seemed to be a question, but in his heart, he had already guessed.

Ask, besides that Rashid Hadley, who is currently considered the successor of the Hadley family, who else can control the enforcers of the Hive City and let them turn a blind eye?

"Good news, now at least there is a direction for investigation."

Throwing away the crumpled paper ball, Alvin pinched his aching eyebrows, and a bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth: "The bad news is... conservatively, tens of thousands have already been sacrificed."

With such a huge number of sacrifices, God knows to what extent the cult has developed?

Now, he can only hope for... the Emperor's mercy.

Otherwise, if the difficulty is adjusted upwards, he dare not imagine how beautiful that picture will be.

I don't know what virtue or ability the planet Loser has. A small planet, it's just missing Eldar and Orks to light up the race atlas!

"Oh, almost forgot, there is also the T'au." Alvin mocked and complained.

Reorganizing the scattered materials, the next step is to wait.

"If only there could be more intelligence about Iron Stone Town..."

Alvin couldn't help but feel a little regretful, sighed lightly, and sat down to pour himself a glass of wine.

Whether it was in Tot's mouth or the materials in the room, there was no description of what kind of place 'Iron Stone Town' was.

Currently, the only information he pried from Tot's mouth was that Iron Stone Town was an important mine for the Loser Hive City fifty years ago, but later there was an unprecedented massacre!

The Planetary Defense Force, under the order of Galken, the Planetary Governor, slaughtered all the residents of the Iron Stone Town mine!

Since then, the Iron Stone Town mine was abandoned until it was reduced to a stronghold of the Iron Hammer Gang again.

"Galken, the Planetary Governor, slaughtered the Iron Stone Town mine to hide what?"

"Necrons? No, impossible."

"If it were Necrons, Loser would have been captured long ago."

"Besides Necrons, what else could it be?"

Following the train of thought of this matter, Alvin's pupils shrank, as if an inexplicable chill struck: "What kind of... huge vortex am I involved in?!"

He suddenly realized that starting from the cult, to the changes in the Loser Hive City, this series of events seemed far less simple than it looked!

The secret hidden in 'Iron Stone Town', perhaps... is more complex than imagined!

Thinking about it is terrifying!

Just as Alvin's mind was turbulent, a voice suddenly entered his ears.

"Don't move!"

Immediately after, Alvin felt a hard object pressing against his lower back. Judging from the touch, it was probably a firearm.

"Friend, calm down!"

Alvin said in a deep voice and raised his hands, indicating that he had no threat.

Being able to infiltrate the room without a sound was enough to prove one point: the other party was definitely not an ordinary person.

"I ask, you answer, understand?"

At this time, the person who used the gun to hold Alvin behind him said coldly: "If you dare to have any concealment, in the name of the Emperor, I guarantee that you will taste... the Empire's most cruel punishment. Now tell me your name and identity!"

The wind and water turned around, belonging to... retribution?

Alvin was speechless for half a second, but he smelled a familiar incense.

Wait, this smell... He was stunned for half a second, until the person behind him exerted force again, pressing the muzzle against his spine: "Answer my question!"

Alvin's face suddenly became a bit complicated, because this extremely unique incense was similar to the incense used by the Ecclesiarchy priest.

Coincidentally, he had smelled it on someone in the Mid-Hive not long ago!

"That... is it Inquisitor Winnie Winslet?"

Alvin tried his best to appear harmless, and then asked in a tentative tone.

Click!

It was the sound of a bolter being loaded!

He was too familiar with this sound. A bolter was loaded without saying a word. Are all Inquisitors so decisive?

Infiltrating the investigation, but ended up being shot by his own people. Alvin didn't want to experience this kind of stupid death, so he hurriedly opened his mouth: "Wait, Inquisitor, don't shoot, I am Alvin Valerius, I am one of our own!"

"What?"

The person behind him stopped, seemingly shocked by this news.

"Didn't we meet in the Mid-Hive this morning?" Alvin spoke as fast as a string of firecrackers, afraid that if he spoke slowly, his head would be blown up by this master! ===== CHAPTER 73 =====
