Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 45 Adjutant Chen

Mani Chen was born into a wild and crazy world.

Chen's deepest impression of this world is the endless yellow sand and the magnificent palace.

She didn't know who her parents were, and ever since she could remember she had been kept in a cage with all kinds of exotic animals.

Her owner, a trainer, called her Chen.

She didn't know the meaning of the word, or why she was called this name. She only knew that when someone called her Chen, she should express her submission respectfully.

A furry artificial tail was implanted in Chen's coccyx. The tail is 60cm long, black in color, and has a satin-like luster. The nerves are connected to Chen's own nerves, and can swing or do other strange movements based on her thoughts.

Her skull was drilled open and a pair of canine ears were implanted on top of her head.

This pair of ears provides her with better hearing, and at the same time, it can also release an electric shock punishment device. If she shows resistance or dissatisfies the master, or even if the master is simply bored, the punishment device will be turned on, and the electric current will cause her to twitch and spasm again and again, and the master will laugh on the side.

Chen was not allowed to use human language, and if she uttered a sound even remotely resembling speech, she would be subjected to horrific torture.

Chen was in pain and fear. Her only living place was an iron cage that was not even big enough for her to stand up. The other beasts around her who were also suffering from torture hated her because she looked like a human.

The whispers in his ears were Chen's only comfort.

The whisper would tell her stories gently. Although Chen often couldn't hear its voice clearly and didn't understand what it said, Chen still learned many concepts that she had never known before.

Like the stars, the sky, the ocean, freedom...

And at night when she fell asleep, white frost would quietly climb into her cage.

Chen started performing on stage after he was five years old.

Walking through a ring of fire, stepping on a rubber ball, and making water freeze out of thin air are the performances Chen performs most often.

Occasionally, there are some guests with special tastes, and Chen needs to do some more dangerous or worse performances.

Each of these performances caused Chen great pain.

Being able to go on stage did not make Chen's situation much better. Although she finally had enough food to maintain her strength, she also received more punishments.

Chen always moves with his master.

Chen knew it from eavesdropping and hearing the gentle voice narrate.

My master is an animal trainer and I work in a circus, so I often have to move around with my master.

And I am a dog, no, no, I seem to be a person.

No, no, am I really a human being?
Chen couldn't tell.

Sometimes she felt like she was a dog with a human soul living inside of it, and sometimes in her dreams she felt like she had become a human who was a dog.

Seven years old.

The master took Chen to a magnificent palace.

At that time, Chen didn’t know the word "magnificent", she just felt that this place was very big and beautiful.

There are also many nice smells.

There was a human who was twice as big as the others who came to watch her performance.

He had small collars on all ten of his fingers. Chen later learned that these things were called rings.

Chen performed his best performance in front of him, turning a tied-up living person into an ice sculpture.

The extra-large human was very satisfied and directly turned the ice sculpture into shaved ice.

The fat lips were stained red with blood.

Chen was terrified of this oversized human.

She felt that this human was more terrifying than her own master.

Then this human became Chen's new master.

I also have a new name, an interesting psychic pet.

Nine years old
Chen had no idea how he had managed to survive the past two years.

The new master is indeed more terrible than the old one.

His punishments were always unique, cruel and bizarre.

For example, he would randomly select one of Chen's limbs, carefully prepare it like cooking Peking duck, and then order Chen to use his psychic energy to heal himself.

For example, sometimes the bruised and battered Chen would be soaked in wine, which was jokingly called "bone drunkenness".

In short, the same torture method would never occur more than six times, and Chen would inevitably suffer cruel abuse at least once every six days.

Chen didn't know what to do. She wanted to be free, but she was not even allowed to commit suicide.

Once the ears on his head detected that Chen was trying to end his life, strong electric shocks directly connected to his brain would cause Chen to fall into artificial epilepsy again and again.

If it weren't for the gentle voice that always whispered in his ears (human ears), Chen would not have been able to retain his self.

And now the whisper is becoming clearer and clearer. Chen can feel that the voice loves him and wants to hug him, but how can he meet it?

Chen didn't know, but she was thirsty.

This was her only light until her sun came.

Ten years old
Chen was brought to a man wearing a red captain's uniform (Chen didn't know what a captain's uniform was at this time).

She was presented to the man as an excellent commodity.

Then she heard the first words from her sun, the man to whom she had devoted her everlasting loyalty.
"Oh my god! You psychics dare to do this, you really have guts!"

Then the master had an argument with him.

"How much is this psychic?"

"One item worth 20,000 throne coins."

"Is your psyker made of neutron star material, or is your restraint device made of neutron star material?"

"Look, where can you find such obedient psychics nowadays? These are all psychics I use for myself. You think they are too expensive, but I also think they are too expensive." "Then will you, a psychic slave, be obedient?"

"How can I, a great slave owner, sell you a disobedient slave?"

"I ask you, is this psychic slave Bao obedient?"

"Are you trying to find trouble on purpose? I'm just asking you if you want it."

"If she promises to be obedient, I will definitely accept it. But if she doesn't, what should I do?"

"If she doesn't obey, I'll be your slave."

"Okay, then I'll give it a try, okay? If you obey me, I'll want you right away, and I'll also establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with you."

"Okay, then you give it a try."

Chen saw the owner hand the remote control that controlled him to the man.

Chen was scared. At that time, she didn't know what kind of person this man was, and she was afraid of being given more terrifying orders.

The man fiddled with the remote in his hand, using it to issue the first and last command to the slave.

"kill him!"

The man pointed at his master.

Chen didn't hesitate at all, and threw all the psychic energy, such as throat lock, ice, lightning, and fire, at the master.

After a round of overdraft-like fierce attack, the largest piece of the owner on the ground was no more than 3CM. Chen's attack brought a little bit of personal emotion.

The man's attendants were terrified and they rushed forward to surround the man.

But the man walked out from among them casually.

"It's okay, it's nothing to be afraid of."

The man approached Chen and gave what he thought was a gentle smile.

"Hey, little girl, look at me. I don't want to hurt you. Uh, you should understand what I'm saying."

Chen nodded.

"I'm a businessman. I don't like backward things like slavery, so are you willing to work for me as a worker? By the way, can you speak?"

Chen nodded again.

"I know what you've been through. It's disgusting and inefficient. I can guarantee that you won't be subjected to that kind of abuse if you follow me. We are a conscientious company that implements a 996 and 007 alternating work system, two days off every month, and three meals a day."

"Boss, can she understand what you are saying to her?"

The man's attendant couldn't stand it anymore and warned him, but the man ignored him and continued.

"Anyway, as long as you follow me, you will definitely be well fed, well clothed, and able to sleep in a bed. You can also swim freely in the sea of ​​stars."

"Stars...freedom..."

Chen repeated these two sentences subconsciously.

She wanted it, she wanted to go with this man.

No human had ever shown her such kindness.

Don't believe him!
The voice that had always been gentle suddenly screamed in her ear.

I am the only one who loves you!

You are mine!

No one likes you!

just me!
The sharp screams gave Chen a splitting headache, but years of torture had made her able to bear the pain.

"Yes, yes, stars, freedom..."

As he spoke, the man looked at the remote control in his hand and crushed it without hesitation.

"You are free, and you have the right to work with me freely."

"By the way, my name is Jack, what's your name?"

"List……"

Looking at the crushed remote control, Chen felt that a string in his heart had broken after so many years, and tears could not stop flowing.

It was strange, because crying would only result in harsher punishment before, and Chen was surprised that he actually shed tears despite the stimulation of the electric shock.

"Yeah, not bad. But it's too short as a name. How about this, Chen is your last name, and I'll give you a name."

The man touched his chin with short stubble, thought for a while and said
"By the way, let me call you Mani. This is the name of the moon in my hometown. From now on, you will be called Mani Chen."

As he spoke, Chen's sun, Chen's savior, Chen's eternal love held out his hand to her.

The gentle voice that had been whispering in Chen's ear completely turned into a chaotic and crazy roar.

But Chen ignored it and stretched out his little hand and held Jack's big hand together.

......................................................

Just like the revolving lantern of life, Chen recalled his childhood again in a very short period of time.

She gritted her teeth and stood up again.

The hat he had been wearing fell off, revealing the black dog ears underneath.

A black tail also emerged from her pants.

Chen erupted in an unprecedentedly powerful psychic reaction.

"My only and eternal master, I will definitely save you."
