MTLNOVEL Chapter 30: 142
Following the prediction of Franky, the Tzeentch wizard, Ian immediately sensed something unusual.
The other party found them more and more often, and he even knew the enemy's next plan, but the other party still made changes in time.
Divination was not an area he was good at. When a Tzeentch wizard was doing divination with all his strength, Ian was obviously at a disadvantage.
The long and continuous divination also made Ian feel extremely tired. If they continued like this, they would not be able to hold on for much longer.
"Sir! The servos detect approaching life signals! They're coming again!"
The ranger on sentry said tiredly that the C-14's ammunition had been used up long ago, and they could only pick up the enemy's weapons or continue fighting with chainswords.
The Night Guards were still full of energy, but the Rangers' physical strength had begun to fail.
Sure enough, more than a dozen blood hunters appeared in front of them, but the leader of the group was holding a rose knot that belonged exclusively to the Inquisition.
"Don't fire! I'm not one of those hunters. My real identity is from the Inquisition! There is a secret base of the Inquisition nearby! No one knows where it is! You can take refuge there!"
Damon and others all looked at Ian. He was the one who knew the Inquisition best.
Ian looked at the rose knot that belonged to the Inquisitor. This thing was not something that ordinary people could forge. After confirming the other party's identity, everyone was no longer so nervous, but they did not put down their guns.
"Didn't you hear what the Governor said? She even said we killed your people."
"What Glades said? She is a monster we created. How can we believe what she said?"
"The monster you created?"
"There's no time left. The people chasing you will be here soon. Come with me! Once we reach the base, the Grand Inquisitor will explain things to you!"
Damon did not sense any Chaos corruption or Warp energy from the other person.
"Let's just trust him for now! There's no better choice. With the presence of that psychic wizard, we will be surrounded in no time!"
Everyone reached a consensus and followed the judge through countless alleys, stopping in front of the palace of a great noble.
And a secret door opened.
Looking at the corridor leading to the underground, everyone followed it in.
And the moment the door closed, Glades and his wizards also lost any clues about the people.
"What's wrong? Franky?"
"I can't divine their location, Glades. There are people in your world helping them!"
"Help them. Who? Who is willing to help these outsiders?"
Glades didn't believe that the nobles here would be so kind. Glades knew their true colors better than anyone else, and the only one capable of doing this was the Inquisition.
"Inquisition! It must be those guys! These heretics who claim to be the truth of the Empire are the real cancer of the Empire!!!"
As the crowd walked into a huge underground space, the entire secret base was built under this noble palace. There were a large number of anti-psychic runes and prayers to the God-Emperor drawn around it. Ian found that his psychic powers were ineffective here.
As he went deeper, Ian discovered that the Malfi Inquisition branch he had visited before was just a cover.
The real base of the Inquisition is here. No wonder there are only some ordinary servants in the base, and there are only one or two official inquisitors.
A large number of servants are conducting various tests and experiments in this base.
In each petri dish, there were actually humans floating with countless tubes inserted into their bodies.
Various medicines and nutrient solutions are being injected into these humans' bodies.
Although human experiments are very common in Warhammer, human experiments that obviously need to be hidden are definitely not legal, and many of the cells in these petri dishes are obviously not normal humans. The characteristics of different species are transplanted into the same body.
Looking at everything around them, Damon and his companions remained nervous. After passing through one experimental area after another, they finally met the head of the Malfi Tribunal.
"This is our Grand Inquisitor, Lord Leon Hawkins! Grand Inquisitor, I have brought them here!"
The other party looked at Damon, a night guard, with undisguised desire and curiosity in his eyes.
He has been paying attention to all the actions of the Night Guards and Rangers in the Upper Nest over the past two days.
He also realized that mortals could not achieve this level. He could explain the Rangers' combat effectiveness by their combat uniforms. Their height and body shape were still at the level of mortals.
However, the Night Guards were clearly beyond the scope of normal humans. The combat power they displayed confirmed that their bodies had received some unknown genetic technology. Leon had seen many Astartes, but their combat power was not as good as the warriors in front of him.
"Inquisitor Leon, what is going on here? Are you conducting experiments on living people?!" Ian asked first. Thinking of what he had seen along the way, he remembered what Derek had reminded him.
"Living people? They are not living people. They are just clones and genetically modified test subjects."
"Clone?!"
Whether in Gao Yi's world or the Warhammer world, cloning technology is strictly prohibited. In the Warhammer world, this technology has always existed, but it is strictly controlled, and only certain worlds are allowed to use this technology.
Take the Krieg Death Korps for example. This is because Krieg's contribution to the Empire is so great that even the High Lords and the Inquisition cannot ban the Krieg's cloning technology and artificial womb technology in the name of heresy.
Otherwise, the Empire would lose an extremely loyal, at-will and powerful force.
But except for this special planet, anyone who uses this technology without authorization will be purged by the Mechanicus or even the Inquisition.
And now the Malfi Inquisition was actually using this heretical technology itself, and was displaying it directly in front of Damon and the others.
"Inquisitor Ian, can you allow me to collect some biological sample information from the warriors behind you?"
"Inquisitor Lyon, I advise you not to have such thoughts. Such heretical behavior of yours will not be tolerated."
"Heresy? Haven't we come across enough heresy? Others may not understand, but as an Inquisitor, don't you understand? Everything we do is for the Empire."
When Leon said these words, his tone was extremely sincere.
"So why on earth did you save us?"
"We have seen your power, so I would like to invite you to join us, Inquisitor Ian. Perhaps with your power we can suppress the accident that is happening in Malfi at this moment."
"Accident?! Wait. Could the accident you're talking about be the governor here? What monster was created that you mentioned before? Could it be her?"
Ian thought about the various experimental instruments along the way and suddenly thought of a terrible fact.
"Yes, that's her, Governor Glades of Malfi."
"You mean to say that you used these technologies to cultivate a human being, and then found a way to make her the governor of this planet?!"
Ian never expected that Malfi would be in such a state. Damon and Holt frowned. It was really amazing that these inquisitors could think of such a thing!
"Although she lost control, she did a good job, didn't she? She changed the chaotic situation in Malfi, suppressed those scheming nobles, and made Malfi exceed the tithe every time in a hundred years, and she did it without damaging the economy and social system. How many planetary governors can do that?"
