Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

The Tearing Worm finished its scouting, silently returned along the original path, and shrank back into Lin En's sleeve.

"Confirmed, not one of our own." Lena's consciousness carried a trace of icy killing intent.

"Should we take care of her now?"

Lin En lightly shook his head and responded with his consciousness: "No rush, let me probe her a bit more."

By this point, both of them merely thought this "soldier" was Sorin's spy.

Until the moment Lin En reached out and placed his hand on Sorin's shoulder.

At the time he was only casually probing, wanting to see what reaction this spy would have.

But just as his fingers touched her shoulder armor, he perceived an extremely faint yet abnormally sharp killing intent.

With Lin En's current strength, even if Cassius himself arrived, without equipment he might not be able to close in and take him down.

But this "soldier," the killing intent emanating from her, made him feel threatened.

Only then did he confirm that this woman hidden in the escort team was no ordinary spy.

But Sorin Vimlot herself.

Thinking of this, Lin En's mouth corner curved, and he activated the System Interface for the first time in a long while.

A pink light curtain unfolded at the edge of his vision, the text and icons on it clearly visible.

And that long-vacant 【Side Quest Binding Slot】 was now flashing a faint red light, indicating the next target could be bound.

Beneath the shadow of the standard helmet, Lin En revealed a smile tinged with a hint of evil.

"Since you've delivered yourself to my door, don't blame me for being impolite."

His consciousness sank into the system, and soon locked onto Inquisitor Sorin.

【Detected nearby bindable High Value Target】

【Target Identity】: Inquisitor of the Inquisition Calixis Sector Branch, Sorin Vimlot

【Current Relationship Status】 Stalker/Stalked

【Initial Favorability】 -6

【System Evaluation】 This target bears initial hostility toward the Host.

【Binding Difficulty】: Low.

【Mental Backlash Risk】: Low.

Lin En raised his hand, unfolding the target's detailed panel, a pale pink radiance flowing in the depths of his eyes:

【Inquisitor of the Inquisition Calixis Sector Branch, Sorin Vimlot (Female)】

【Tags】 #Textbook Tsundere#, #Unfinished Teacher-Student Assignment#, #Poisonous Rose#

【Initial Favorability】: -6 (Views you as a high-risk suspicious target that must be thoroughly investigated, but deep inside vaguely hopes you are innocent)

【Strategy Tip】: She wears heretic equipment, wields heretic weapons, yet places the Tribunal's badge over her heart.

She possesses heretic psykers power enough to be hunted by the Tribunal, yet uses this power to hunt other heretics, trying to prove she is still "orthodox."

What she cannot forgive most may not be heretics, but herself in the mirror.

Danger Rating: ★★★

Lin En read the two tags "Textbook Tsundere" and "Unfinished Teacher-Student Assignment" several times over, falling into a brief silence.

Was it as he thought?

Through the System Link, Lena perceived the emotional fluctuations in his mind:

"What are you thinking?"

Lin En smiled with a hint of playfulness.

"Thinking, this person is more interesting than we imagined."

Lena could not understand the definition of "interesting" at this moment.

In her Bug Race cognitive system, humans were divided into only three categories.

Biomass, infectable targets, and the one and only Lin En.

This human female hiding among the soldiers had decent strength, medium-quality biomass.

By Bug Race rules, either eat her or infect her; there was no such thing as "interesting."

Lin En guessed her thoughts and explained with a smile through his consciousness:

"Someone like her, if you wanted to kill her, she would rather die than submit."

The smile on Lin En's mouth corner grew richer.

"But if you step on her weakness that she fears most being known..."

"She herself would help you cover up the secret tightly."

Lena fell silent for a moment and did not ask further.

She did not understand human complex psychology, nor those so-called "weaknesses" and "obsessions," but she trusted Lin En's judgment.

From the time they met in the Sewers of Necromunda, every decision Lin En made had allowed the Bug Swarm to survive and grow; following him would never be wrong.

Lin En took one last look at the System Panel and closed the Virtual Interface.

The pale pink radiance vanished from the depths of his eyes, returning to calm.

The Chimera Armored Vehicle gradually came to a stop, the jolting of the body completely disappeared, the roof lamps extinguished, and the vehicle compartment plunged into darkness.

Immediately, a light "clang" came from the vehicle door, and a bone-chilling cold wind swept into the compartment.

"Everyone out! Dismissed!" the welcoming lieutenant's voice rang out from outside the vehicle.

The soldiers stood up one after another, rubbing their numb legs, shouldering their weapons, and filed out of the compartment.

Sorin adjusted her breathing, suppressed all emotions in her heart, stood up with the crowd, placed her hand on the handrail inside the compartment, and prepared to get off.

As long as she left here, she could immediately depart for the Main Hive and initiate the review of Lin En.

But just as her foot was about to step out of the vehicle door, with a "bang," the door was suddenly slammed shut.

Outside the vehicle door, the leading lieutenant glanced at the tightly closed door, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

But he did not step forward to ask, merely waved his hand, signaling the remaining soldiers to disperse.

The Governor's thoughts were never something these small figures could speculate on.

The soldiers quickly dispersed, leaving only this Chimera with its door tightly closed in the garage.

The moment the door closed, Sorin's first reaction was to act.

Her right hand fiercely reached for the Bomb Gun at her waist, and spirit energy instantly condensed in her palm.

Black spirit energy radiance jumped in her palm, preparing to tear through the disguise and strike with full force.

But the next second, her body "stuck" in place, as if bound by invisible chains.

Her limbs stiffened, unable to even bend her fingers, and the condensed spirit energy instantly collapsed, like a receding tide, leaving no trace behind.

"Keli Feng, what exactly did you do?!"

Sorin's voice came from inside the helmet, carrying suppressed anger and panic.

She struggled desperately, but could only feel a powerful force firmly pinning her body in place, even her thoughts beginning to slow.

Lin En slowly stood up, walked in front of Sorin, raised his hand, and removed the PDF Standard Helmet from his head.

Revealing that handsome and indifferent face, his purple eyes flashing with a strange radiance in the dim environment.

The Miniature Shredder Worm at his sleeve also emerged at this moment, crawling along his arm to his shoulder.

Six compound eyes stared fixedly at Sorin, its body no longer hidden, exuding the terrifying pressure belonging to a top-tier predator of the Tyranids, enveloping the entire compartment.

That pressure carried a cold predator's aura, as if declaring its own sovereignty, telling the human before her.

She was the master of this place!

Sorin's body fiercely trembled, the ruby eyes beneath her helmet widening, full of shock:

"Tyranids?!"

She finally understood, understood all of Lin En's abnormalities, and that aura that made her uneasy.

This Governor of Brevis, the Divine Chosen of the Emperor, was actually colluding with the Tyranids!

This was the most terrifying Xenos known to the Human Empire, a terrifying race targeting the devouring of the entire galaxy!

A chill rose in her heart, but before she could make any further reaction.

Suddenly, several purple chains flew out from Lin En's purple eyes, like living things wrapping around her body.

From neck to limbs, layer upon layer wrapped around, tightening more and more.

The Spirit Energy Chains carried strong Spiritual Suppression, and Sorin felt as if her brain had been emptied.

Consciousness fell into chaos, unable to even raise the thought of resistance, only able to let that power completely control her.
