I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 152 The Green Man is Watching You

Smith twisted and crawled on the ground like a mudskipper in the mud, with painful whimpers coming out of his throat.

The blue-purple light on his lower back gradually became stronger, illuminating the clothes on his back.

A spherical object emerged from under Smith's clothes and floated to a height of two meters above the ground.

Smith got up from the ground, panting heavily, his whole body soaked with sweat.

There was a crackling sound of static in his head, and an unfamiliar voice came from inside his head.

"Destroy the spores that are floating in the air."

Smith stretched out his arms and leaned on the edge of the sink, his facial expression becoming particularly ferocious:

"Don't even think about it! I have been enslaved by you for so long, now it's my turn to take revenge on you! You damn bastard, you are finished! I will hand over your damn spores to the Imperial Law Enforcement Department! You die..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the static became high-pitched.

"Zizzizi!"

The intracranial implant emitted a strong electric current, and Smith's body suddenly straightened.

The strange voice spoke again:
"Resistance will only bring you pain. Since you are unwilling to obey my orders, I will do it myself."

Smith lost control of his body.

Under the control of the intracranial implant, he picked up the laser pistol, aimed at the parasitic spores in mid-air and pulled the trigger.

Three red lasers fell on the spores, which were ignited by the high temperature of the lasers and turned into a blazing fireball.

The flames lasted only a short while before the spores turned into smoke and fell to the ground.

Under Smith's horrified gaze, he grasped the laser pistol in his right hand and pointed the muzzle at his head.

A strange voice cut through the air, followed by a crazy sweep of lasers.

"You are of no value anymore. Go and die in peace. I will find a way to transport the machine away."

“Buzz buzz buzz buzz——”

Dense red lasers burst out, Smith's head quickly melted, and everything inside and outside was burned to ashes by the high temperature.

With a thud, the headless corpse fell to the ground.

Li Nuo witnessed Smith's one-man show in the corner.

About a minute ago, he left the bathroom after sending the satellite communication. He met the angry Smith on the road and followed him to see what was going on.

Who would have thought that he could actually see such a good show.

After Smith injected himself with a potion, the Bone Drinker spores in his body emerged from his spine.

By this time Smith had regained his self-awareness and was no longer under the control of the Bone Drinker.

But in his head, there is an implant from a mysterious man.

This implant integrates a sound array module, allowing the mysterious person to communicate with Smith through the air.

The implant also has neural interference capabilities that can force Smith to perform specific movements.

The mysterious man behind the scenes forced Smith to destroy the parasitic spores, and then used a laser to end Smith's life and destroyed Smith's intracranial implants.

Following this process, even if the Imperial Law Enforcement Department arrived at the scene immediately, they could only find very limited clues.

Not far away on the ground, the syringe that Smith had used to inject himself with the medicine lay quietly there.

The medicine in the syringe is volatile, and the small amount of residue at the bottom is turning into aerosol.

Li Nuo tried to put the remaining medicine into the fungus warehouse.

Storage successful!

This shows that the main ingredient of the medicine is closely related to fungi.

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and prepared to check the condition of the potion after the simulation was over.

Suddenly, a strong smell of decay entered my nose.

Looking down, he saw a highly corrosive liquid flowing out of the artificial blood vessels of the corpse.

The dark green juice corroded the corpse into pieces, and a foul stench filled the bathroom.

In just twenty or thirty seconds, Smith's body and the clothes on his body turned into filthy slime.

The stench seeped into the outside of the bathroom through the crack in the door. It would probably not be long before someone came to investigate.

Li Nuo opened the ventilation duct of the bathroom and went in.

Not long after he left, the bathroom door was knocked open by someone outside, and several fully armed arbitrators rushed into the room.

"Report, Squad Two found a pool of rotten matter in the public bathroom."

The arbitrator opened the door of the cubicle and saw the body lying on the toilet:

"Report, the informant has been found and confirmed dead. The murder weapon is believed to be a laser pistol. The informant's data board has been destroyed. We need a data technician to help repair the data on the data board."

A response came from the Arbitrator's helmet:
"Take the datapad and return to the dock. The Moff's Space Guard is here."

"receive."

The Arbitrator put the grenade launcher on his back, put the data slab in a vacuum bag, and returned to the dock of the space station.

Several cruisers belonging to the Space Guard were parked outside the space station.

Four ships from the Imperial Law Enforcement Department arrived, just filling up the space station's dock, so the Space Guard's cruisers couldn't get in.

Personnel shuttles travel between the space station and the ship, delivering the Space Guard's commander and guards.

The Inquisitor of Imperial Law Enforcement is negotiating with the Moff's Space Guard Commander.

"We are going to seize all equipment and inventory here. After inspection by the Mechanic Priest, we will deal with the seizure as appropriate."

The Judge wore a black carapace armor, his hands were behind his back, and he had a black mask on his head, leaving only his broad, thick chin exposed.

He was accompanied by two law enforcers.

The helmet of the Law Examiner is golden yellow, and the decoration on the top is an eagle with its wings spread out.

Generally speaking, the combination of the Judge and the Law Supervisor represents the authority of the Imperial Law Enforcement Department, and they can be said to have the final say.

But there are always exceptions.

The commander of the Space Guard is Maggie Needlevin.

While dealing with a plague in a radioactive waste zone on a star, Maggie was infested by a Bone Drinker and became a minion of Black Scythe.

Black Scythe 1 is an Arceus with the ability to transform.

He transformed himself into Maggie, approached the Star Governor Ned Levin XV, and successfully transformed him into his slave in the latter's starport.

At this time, Maggie Nedlevin was not directly controlled by Black Scythe 1, but his every move was carried out under the orders of Black Scythe 1.

Maggie put his hands on his belt and waved his right hand in front of him, making a gesture of asking for permission:

"You are the guards of the empire, the protectors of the empire's world. We will not stop your actions. But I need to remind you that the scientific research being conducted here involves the agricultural world of Elfanan, where a large area of germ disasters has occurred. For every day the research is delayed, Elfanan's material tax this year will be reduced by about 1%..."

Maggie brought up the issue of material tax to negotiate with the judge, attempting to use the Ministry of the Interior's taxation mission to counter the Ministry of Justice's law enforcement actions.

If Nedlevin XV was just an ordinary hive governor, Maggie would have been defeated by now.

But Nidlevin Fifteen-Five is the governor of a star region and has some weight in the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It is fine for law enforcement to seize equipment and inventory, but unreasonable seizures will result in unpaid material taxes in the agricultural world.

Riots caused by food shortages have always been a headache for the empire.

The Imperial Law Enforcement Department is one of the entities responsible for dealing with riots.

In other words, unreasonable detention is tantamount to asking for trouble for the Imperial Law Enforcement Department.

The judges and law enforcers on the scene discussed the matter on the internal communication channel and came up with a compromise plan.

"You can take away the research equipment and inventory related to the agricultural world, but the rest must be left behind. This space station will also be sealed off. No staff in the space station can leave until the inspection is completed."

Maggie bowed:

"As you wish, Judge. I will provide you with a list of equipment and inventory that we need to transport to another space station as soon as possible. There are some extremely important equipment that I need to escort personally."

McGee sent the list over on the datapad.

The judge received it and clicked to check it out, then waved his hand and said:

"There is a device in your inventory that has been blocked by us. You cannot take it with you."

Maggie was stunned for a moment, and had a bad feeling in his heart:
"Which device was blocked by you?"

The judge pointed to Assembly Workshop No. 2 not far away:
"I can't tell you the name of the device, but it's there. Apart from that device, you can take the rest of the equipment on the list."

"But that equipment involves the germ disaster in the agricultural world..."

Maggie subconsciously brought up the material tax as an objection, but the judge didn't buy it.

"Do you want me to repeat myself? You may take all the other equipment on the list except that one."

The judge took a step forward, held the handle of the gun at his waist, and looked closely at the Space Guard commander in front of him:

"That device is suspected to be a product of alien technology. Why are you so persistent in wanting to take it away? Are you involved in the trade and transportation of alien technology products?"

Maggie fell into a brief silence and glanced sideways at the four law enforcement warships docked in the dock.

His heart sank as he realized that it was impossible to seize the breeding machine by force.

The Law Enforcement Department's fleet is composed of battlecruisers and battleships. Both their firepower and shield thickness far exceed those of the Space Guard's second-hand battleships, and they are only slightly inferior in speed.

To seize breeding machines from right under the noses of law enforcement is tantamount to seeking one's own death.

"Don't be ridiculous, sir. In that case, I'll leave that device to you. Let's move the other devices on the list."

Maggie put on a smile, trying to please him. The judge turned sideways and made way. "Go ahead. My people will keep an eye on you."

McGee led the guards into the hall of the space station and towards the assembly workshop, followed by four arbitrators who were monitoring them.

In the blind spot of the Imperial Law Enforcement members, Maggie's eyes first went blank and he lost consciousness, then his pupils focused within 0.1 seconds and he regained consciousness with a hint of cloudiness in his eyes.

The one controlling this body at this time is not Maggie, but Black Scythe 1.

The breeding machine is about to fall into the hands of the law enforcement department. If Heijian 1 doesn't take action personally, how can he explain to his master?

The machine must not fall into the hands of Imperial Law Enforcement.

Especially the genetic template in the machine!
If this thing were to be obtained by the Mechanicus, the Lord's plan would likely fail, and he would become the biggest sinner.

Black Scythe 1 couldn't imagine what kind of punishment he would have to endure.

When passing by Assembly Workshop No. 2, he observed the defense forces inside and outside the workshop.

Hundreds of arbitrators and ten law enforcers surrounded the workshop.

Looking through the crack in the door, Heijian 1 vaguely saw the outer shell of the breeding machine being opened, and his heart sank again and again.

He spoke to his assistant in McGee's tone, asking him to be responsible for moving the equipment, while he walked towards the supervisor's office area.

The four arbitrators responsible for monitoring McGee looked at each other, and two of them followed McGee away, while the other two continued to monitor the team escorting the equipment.

Li Nuo followed far behind, knowing very well that the Space Guard commander named Maggie should have been parasitized by the Bone Drinker.

The other party is the eldest son of Nedlevin XV, the most trusted among the trusted, and the most trusted among the trusted.

An internal report provided by the Mechanicus stated that the heads of important departments such as the Sector Tax Affairs Department and the Munitions Affairs Department of Nedlevin XV had been infected.

As the commander of the Space Guard and the eldest son of Nedlevin XV, it was a foregone conclusion that Maggie would be parasitized.

Li Nuo watched Maggie leave the team and walk alone towards the supervisor's office area. After a moment's thought, he decided to follow Maggie.

Biometrics are required to enter the supervisor's office area.

Maggie doesn't have permission and can't go in.

He should have requested authorization from the office of the star governor, and then entered the supervisor's office area after obtaining the authorization serial number.

But, obviously, he couldn't wait any longer.

In front of Li Nuo and the two arbitrators, Maggie released the safety of the laser rifle, aimed at the access control panel and pulled the trigger.

“Buzz buzz buzz——”

The laser burned through the access lock, the space station's alarm system detected the attack, and a shrill alarm sounded in the corridor.

"Attention, the biometric access control system in the supervisor's office is under attack! Attention, the supervisor's office..."

The station's armed guards were mobilized to the dock, and only law enforcement could respond to the alarm.

Several arbitrators heard the broadcast and rushed over.

A total of six arbitrators surrounded McGee.

Maggie muttered something in the internal channel.

The shrill alarm was shut down by the armed guards of the space station in the dock, and the scene fell silent.

McGee faced the siege formed by the arbitrators without changing his expression. He pressed his hands downwards and said soothingly:
"Take it easy, guys. You don't want to waste time waiting for the authorization serial number from your superiors, right? Neither do I. So I chose to use the most direct method to open the door."

"You should have told us first." The arbitrator stepped forward and said.

Maggie shrugged and laughed:

"Please. This is the governor's private space station. As the second heir in the family, I shot and broke the door of my own house. Do I need to greet you? Are you kidding me?"

The argument was well-reasoned and irrefutable, and the arbitrators looked at each other in bewilderment.

Maggie turned and entered the supervisor's office area.

The two arbitrators who were monitoring McGee followed, and the other four arbitrators walked in another direction and continued their work.

McGee walked faster and faster, as if he wanted to shake off the two arbitrators behind him.

Li Nuo walked through the entrance and followed the arbitrator.

The group walked quickly on the marble floor, moving down the spiral staircase, and gradually going deeper into the dangerous area of the space station.

A warning sign is hung at the entrance, which reads "Radiation area, please wear anti-radiation clothing when entering and exiting, no open flames or strong magnets allowed."

Not far behind this sign, at the end of a long and narrow passage, stands a large iron gate with an observation window.

A faint blue light was scattered in the observation window.

Everyone who saw this beam of light got goose bumps, as if there was a lot of static electricity in the air.

The two arbitrators stopped in their tracks, but McGee in front of them continued to stride forward without the slightest hesitation.

The arbitrator shouted:
"Hey! Don't go forward! That's the engine room!"

Without even turning back, McGee raised his laser rifle and tilted the laser towards the engine room door.

This door has good defense. The door lock has withstood more than a dozen red lasers without being burned through.

A light blue halo lit up on Maggie's right glove, and the crackling sound of electricity quickly intensified.

This is a metal glove with a force field effect.

After electromagnetic charging, the force field surrounds the gloves, greatly increasing the destructive power of the punch.

McGee clenched his fist, punched forward with force, and hit the door panel.

"Bang!" The metal door shook and huge cracks appeared on its hinges.

The arbitrator raised his gun and shouted:

"Stop! Attacking the engine room is a felony! Stop it now!"

The arbitrator was so nervous that he didn't even dare to put his finger on the trigger for fear of the gun going off accidentally.

The reactor in the engine room was a powder keg.

Static electricity, strong magnetism, high temperature, and vibration, any one of these changes may cause the reactor to go out of control. In the worst case, the space station will explode and everyone will turn into cosmic dust.

The arbitrators knew how serious the consequences were, and no one dared to pull the trigger.

They were using heavy grenade launchers, and one shot could create hundreds of fragments. No one could guarantee that the fragments would not become the fuse that detonated the reactor.

"Haha, if you don't dare to shoot, then don't point the gun at me." Maggie looked back at the arbitrator, laughed disdainfully, and then clenched his fist and punched out again.

"Bang!"

The door is wide open!

Behind the iron door is a servitor responsible for maintaining the engine room.

These servitors were deployed by the Mechanicus.

They are implanted with specific logic circuits to maintain the Om Messiah's source power device.

The robot noticed the movement at the door and sounded the alarm through the sound array device:

"Warning! Unauthorized lifeforms have been detected on sacred ground! The grace of Om Messiah is inextinguishable, and mortal bodies are powerless to resist the power of the sacred spark! Intruders, leave here immediately!"

Maggie killed the robot servant swiftly, took off the throwing object from his waist, knocked it on his leg armor, and threw it at the iron door behind him.

The two arbitrators happened to be chasing nearby and ran into the projectile thrown by McGee.

This thing is an offensive melta grenade. After the safety is removed, it will not explode on the first collision, but will explode immediately on the second collision. It can then be catapulted against the wall to kill targets behind cover.

The leading arbitrator came face to face with the grenade.

"Bang! Boom boom——"

The blast erupted wildly, and the hot magma enveloped the two arbitrators. Screams came one after another, and soon turned into tragic whimpers before death.

A small part of the grenade fragments shot into the engine room and landed on the reactor shell in the center of the engine room, instantly exploding a large ball of electric sparks and creating an obvious electric light curve in the air.

Li Nuo was just outside the explosion range at this time.

Fortunately, he was not too close to the front, otherwise he would have been hit by the shrapnel and would have been out of stealth.

Maggie's figure flashed inside the engine room door, ran towards the reactor, and disappeared in an instant.

Li Nuo avoided the lifeless arbitrator and quickly approached the engine room.

The closer you get to the engine room, the more obvious the stinging pain on your skin becomes, as if countless silver needles are drilling into your body.

Stepping into the engine room, Li Nuo looked around, searching for Maggie's whereabouts.

This place covers a vast area of about two thousand square meters.

The plasma reactor is a disc with a diameter of about twenty meters, placed vertically on a stone pillar in the center of the engine room.

Its surface is covered with thick black pipes, and bright blue light seeps out from the gaps between the pipes.

Maggie's figure was swaying under the reactor, as if he was arranging something.

Li Nuo walked over and took a look. It was a string of timed grenades. The safety of the grenades had been removed and they were detonated by a timer.

McGee set the detonation time at two minutes from now.

As the timer began to count down, McGee stood up and ran towards the engine room door, shouting into the intercom:
"Send a shuttle to the emergency exit at the bottom of the station to pick me up! Quick!"

Maggie strode away, his footsteps disappearing outside the engine room door, completely unaware that his every move was exposed to the green man's gaze.

Li Nuo looked at the direction where Maggie left, then looked down at the electromagnetic grenade, which turned out to be underground.

While there is more than a minute left in the countdown, hurry and get help!

Mona definitely knows which wire to cut to end the countdown!
