Chapter 186 Storm of Destruction: The Book of Vito
"Have you found anything new? Omega." Bell walked in the long corridor of the Infinite Frontier. The porthole that could have looked out over the starry sky was completely covered by the armored window. The pale lighting in the corridor reflected cold light on its shelves.
The wriggling snake-like mechanical arms beside Bell also reflected the same luster. The countless mechanical arms under Omega's red robe swayed slowly. His half-mechanical face was also bloodless under the illumination of the incandescent lamp. The steel bulkhead around the face that had already completed the complete mechanization transformation was as cold and ruthless as it was.
"You and I conducted the last round of experiments together, Bell. According to the final calculation results, we have not made any new progress." Omega said in a cold mechanical electronic voice, and the voice was as soul-stirring as Vito had commented many times.
"I know, but I think you may have conducted other experiments after I left for patrol." Bell said as he walked. He was still fully armed, wearing a full set of weapons and equipment on his power armor, grenades and tactical knives hanging on his belt, and a precise grenade gun on his back that could be pulled out and fired at any time.
Although he was inside the ship, Bell still stubbornly remained fully armed. One reason was that the Codex stipulated that when sailing in the warp, the Astartes must be ready at all times and carry weapons with them to deal with possible warp troubles, such as demon invasions.
The second reason was similar. They were now in the Eye of Terror, and Bell wanted to carry his weapons with him at all times. God knows when he will need them.
"I did try, but there is still no new progress in the research results of the Nemesis Blade. Maybe we should change our research ideas." Omega said, his mechanical eye rotated counterclockwise, and data information passed through the surface of his artificial eye. He was calculating all the time like all the Mechanicus believers.
Even now that Omega was conducting experiments, Bell knew that he was too anxious. He stopped and looked sideways at Omega, who was much shorter than him.
"Sorry, Omega, I'm too anxious, but please do the research in the way you think is right. If you can study the Nemesis Blade even a little bit, it will be of great significance to me and my regiment."
"Of course, Bell, I will continue my research, and I will inform you immediately if there is any new progress." "Thank you, old friend."
Omega's mechanical eyes saw Bell stop calculating, "I will return to the laboratory, where there is still a lot of work waiting for me, what about you, pharmacist."
Bell patted the grenade gun on his back, "I will go to the lower deck for another patrol. The chaos beasts there have not been cleared up. I don't like those creatures wandering around the ship."
"See you next time, Omega, good luck." Bell nodded and said, Omega also nodded mechanically, "Although good luck does not conform to any calculation logic, I also wish you good luck, Bell."
Omega walked into the corner of the corridor, and Bell watched Omega leave and stepped towards the elevator.
The whole corridor was silent, without a single person. After all, it was lunch time, and most sailors were eating and chatting in the cafeteria. They also had work in the afternoon and would not return to the rest area.
Bell walked alone along the empty corridor, his heavy footsteps rumbling on the ground. Bell was very happy that the roof here was effectively raised, so that he did not have to bend down like on other warships.
Bell raised his arm and looked at the terminal plane on his arm. The green fluorescent light shone on his face. His eyes scanned the data information on it. It was all real-time dynamic data about the Infinite Frontier. Every progress of the ship's affairs, preparations and accidents would be displayed on it.
Like every qualified Extreme Warrior, Bell faithfully followed the requirements of the Holy Scripture and kept abreast of the latest situation in real time at any time and place, so as to make the most rational and efficient on-the-spot judgment at any time.
Some people say that they follow the Holy Code too much, to the point of blindness and fanaticism, but Bell thinks that is nonsense. The Holy Code is the most complete and reliable tactical and strategic guide compiled by Lord Guilliman. Anyone who does not follow the Holy Code is stupid.
Just as Bell updated the information he had according to the requirements of the Holy Code, he heard footsteps. Logically, there should be no one here now.
Bell raised his head to look at the source of the sound. A dark shadow suddenly flashed from the corner at the end of the corridor. Bell frowned and lowered his arm to walk in which direction.
He approached the shadow, but the shadow suddenly walked into another corridor quickly. This action made Bell alert immediately. He immediately pulled out the bolt gun on the side of the tactical backpack and held it in his hand.
"Soldier, report your name, rank and serial number." Bell said as a warning, but the figure did not respond. He continued to walk quickly in the corridor, as if he was deliberately escaping.
"Stop, soldier! I order you to stop immediately!" Bell shouted and aimed at the crosshairs of the bolter, but the man suddenly turned into another corridor and dodged Bell's gun in time. The Ultramarines immediately realized that something was wrong and approached the corner corridor with the bolter alertly.
Bell suddenly accelerated when he approached the end of the corridor, and with an extremely precise tactical move, he strode into the corridor and raised his gun to aim at it, but there was no target in the sight of Bell's tactical helmet. The man disappeared.
There was also a door open in the corridor, which seemed to be the door to a rest cabin. Bell held a gun and slowly approached it. Only when he got closer did he realize that this was Vito's room. He always had private cabins on the ship. He is the only one who can enter and exit, and recently there is one more person, Judge Lilith.
Bell walked outside the door and looked at the opened biological lock. He cautiously held a gun and peered inside. After some thinking, Bell got into the dormitory with an apology to Vito.
Here, as Bell expected, Vito has always paid attention to the enjoyment of life during travel, whether it is his private shuttle Skyhawk or his bedroom.
Bell's tall body seemed very crowded here, and he was forced to bend down slightly so as not to be hit against the ceiling, but he still scanned the bedroom with a gun with respectable vigilance, except for Vito and Lilith on the bed. There was no one here except the bed and clothes, which were messy after exercise and had not yet been tidied up.
Strange, isn't that person here? Bell walked towards the innermost part of the room. He walked to the large mahogany-colored desk and looked towards the corner blocked by the gauze curtain. There was no one here either. It seemed that he had found the wrong place.
But just when Bell was about to leave, his eyes were attracted by the things on the table. Bell curiously looked down at the stacks of books, scrolls, etc. stacked on the desk, and there were more on the bookshelf on the side.
Bell looked at the book placed on the desk. His thick steel fingers turned over the book cover and looked at the golden title on it. "Beast War Chronicles Volume 1" Bell looked at the author column in the corner, where it was written With a name, a name that he is very familiar with.
By Vito Constantine.
Bell frowned and used the power palm of the armor to take down several other books and scrolls. He opened them and looked at the contents one by one, "The War of the Age of Apostasy Volume Three" and "Macharius Expedition - Lord of the Sun" The Truth of Death" "Age of Two Emperors - Nova Terra War"
Bell looked at this book in surprise. The content was so explosive that it would definitely be shot as a heretic by the Inquisition. The information recorded in it was very shocking, and many of the contents far exceeded Bell's understanding and greatest expectations. .
Not only that, there are other books here, older records and even books that are equally old, such as "Chronicle of the Terran Unification War", "Early War of the Great Crusade", "Roster of Twenty Legions - Exclusive to the Marshal", "Horus" The Complete History of the Great Rebellion—The Death of Hope" and so on.
These books are extremely old and have even been rebinded many times, but each book or some of them should be called notes, and their author has Vito's name clearly written on them.
Even the unsigned scrolls, casually recorded work minutes, record sheets and diaries are all in Vito's handwriting, and they are exactly the same and were written by the same person.
Bell looked at the content in amazement. Vito recorded a lot of things in detail. He wrote down everything from the Terra Unification War to the present in detail. Many of the contents were unheard of and could almost completely subvert the entire empire. Historical concept.
"How did he know these things? No, he was a witness to these things." Bell immediately came to this sensational conclusion, and almost immediately his communication channel rang, which was the sound of the boarding deck.
"Judge Vito boarded the ship. They are back. The ground crew and the Ecclesiarchy team came immediately to prepare for maintenance and prayers to purify the chaos pollution."
Bell closed the book called "The Second Empire" and got out of Vito's room with a gun. He walked towards the tarmac and decided to ask everything clearly.
