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

Chapter 38 Once in the ICU
After being knocked unconscious by the tranquilizer dart, Li Nuo saw darkness before his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, he vaguely heard some sounds.

Shouts, the sound of electricity, the sound of saws cutting, and a piercing noise like tinnitus.

As these sounds appear, the body will become extremely cold, and a very faint light will appear in the field of vision.

This experience was very unique, and it made Li Nuo vaguely feel that there was something both bright and cold hovering around him.

Whenever this thing got close to him, the chill and light would become stronger, but the beam of light could never completely break through the darkness before his eyes. It could only cast star-like brilliance, like looking up at the Milky Way on the sea surface from the bottom of the sea.

Cold things appear again and again, and disappear again and again.

Li Nuo suddenly realized that the darkness in front of him seemed to be the "black veil" he had seen before.

He used identification technology to check and found that it was true.

It is known that the black veil is some kind of subspace entity, so the cold and bright thing wandering outside the black veil should also be a subspace entity.

Li Nuo suddenly had an idea:
Damn, could that be the emperor?

Isn't the essence of his warp the cold and bright cold sun?

This thought made Li Nuo feel scared and confused.

Why would the Emperor observe himself?

Could it be that he was attracted by the matter of the ghost mushrooms and had been paying attention to the movements of the hive city - Epimet, and just happened to notice his situation?
Hiss——it seems that this is really possible.

Li Nuo was horrified, but he couldn't wake up.

Every time he felt something cold hovering around him, the sleepiness that followed would engulf his consciousness and make him fall into a deep sleep again.

This happened several or even dozens of times, and finally, Li Nuo woke up.

Soreness, swelling and numbness were running rampant in his body, causing him to feel both pain and itchiness, but the darkness before his eyes was still too thick to dispel.

Li Nuo widened his eyes, looking for light, and opened his mouth to roar.

But the strange thing was that even if he tried his best, he couldn't make the slightest sound.

Li Nuo couldn't help but ask himself:
Am I alive or dead?
Why was his brain active but he was still unable to sense his surroundings?
What happened to me?
Previously, I could hear all kinds of noises, but now it was as silent as being in a vacuum.

I don't know how much time passed like this, and the soreness and numbness in my body began to subside.

At the same time, Li Nuo felt the warm air blowing across his body and the fresh air entering his nostrils.

"Am I...still alive?"

Li Nuo uttered a few syllables in a low and hoarse voice.

His throat felt like it was rusty and it was difficult to pronounce the words, but he did it.

"Yes, you are still alive." A middle-aged male voice sounded in the front.

Li Nuo looked in the direction of the sound, and there was only darkness there.

"Take off his blindfold and turn on the spotlight."

As the middle-aged man finished speaking, Li Nuo's eyes suddenly lit up and a strong light pierced his eyes.

Under the strong light, the middle-aged man cast a black silhouette with his hands in his pockets on Li Nuo's retina.

Li Nuo wanted to turn his head to look around, but there seemed to be a collar around his neck that restricted his movements, forcing him to face the spotlight.

"who are you?"

The condition of the throat is recovering, the pronunciation becomes smoother, and only a slight numbness remains on the vocal cords.

"I'll answer your question later. Now listen to me."

The man pulled his right hand out of his pocket and pressed the device in his hand.

With a click, a holographic image was projected from the ceiling, revealing a bust of a person made up of green pixels.

"Who is this?"

Li Nuo stared at the bust and confirmed that he had never seen this old man with half of his head cut off.

"He is the leader of the Reconciliation Cult. His real name and birthdate are unknown. We only know that his nickname in the Reconciliation Cult is 'Father'."

The holographic image switched, and this time the half-length portrait presented was Li Nuo's acquaintance - Robnos.

The middle-aged man said:

"Eight months ago, Robnos was a doctor and creep walker of the Pharmacist Association. After completing a collection mission in the bottom nest, he returned to the middle nest with the 'roots' of ghost mushrooms.

"Seven months ago, he claimed that he had invented several formulas based on the psychic properties of ghost mushrooms, and made potions and tobacco that could awaken people's psychic powers." Six months ago, several Upper Nest families extended olive branches to Robnos. Robnos chose the Kram family, which had the most generous treatment, and became a senior executive of the Kram Pharmaceutical Factory. Since then, ghost potions and mutations caused by ghost potions have begun to appear in Upper Nest.

"Twenty-five days ago, you killed two cultists near the Cram cigarette factory. During the confrontation with Robnos, you were knocked out by one of my men with a tranquilizer dart.

"Twenty days ago, the interrogation of Robnos was completed. We received the answer we expected.

"Eight months ago, Robnos was captured alive by 'Father' during an expedition to the Lower Nest. In order to survive, he chose to surrender to 'Father'. 'Father' provided him with the formula of ghost mushrooms and ghost potion, and Robnos became 'Father's' spy, inserting the fake father's body into the property of the Upper Nest nobles."

The middle-aged man paused and explained:
"The so-called pseudo-father refers to a kind of spiritually transformed creature of the Hehe Religion. They can reproduce themselves and give birth to pseudo-offspring..."

The middle-aged man explained the terms related to the Reconciliation Church.

Li Nuo knew this a long time ago.

His focus now was on the "twenty-five days ago" mentioned by the other party.

If I understand correctly, he has been in a coma for 25 days? !
Li Nuo tried to stay calm. While listening to the middle-aged man's words, he silently said "system interface" in his heart.

After a vague prompt sound, the system interface popped up.

Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the plug-in is still there.

The middle-aged man pressed the device in his hand, and the holographic image switched to a wealthy old man in gorgeous clothes.

The man was wearing layers of colorful knitted clothing, had a broad and plump figure, and was adorned with glittering gold saddlebags, rings and brooches. He had a friendly and kind demeanor.

Li Nuo recalled and recognized this person's origin:

"Lord Vorges?"

"Yes, this is our governor, Lord Fuges. I was ordered by the governor to come to the Lower Nest to closely monitor the Reconciliation Cult and secretly hunt down the cultists."

Li Nuo thought for a moment, frowned and asked:
"So, you are interrogating me? But I am not a cultist. Also, why did you put me into a coma for 25 days before interrogating me?"

"I had my reasons for leaving you in a coma for twenty-five days. I have answered your question, and now it is my turn to ask a question."

The man put his hands in his pockets again and said in a deep voice:
"Do you want to live a life of mediocrity in the Lower Nest, or pledge allegiance to a leader, forge the steps to the Upper Nest with sweat and blood, and even embrace the stars?"

Li Nuo was silent for a while, knowing that the other party was trying to persuade him to serve Lord Fugas.

But how could a small person like me get the attention of the governor?
Moreover, after experiencing Robson's instigation, Li Nuo developed resistance to such empty talk of "loyalty" and "sacrifice" and would no longer easily believe in promises and authority.

The middle-aged man turned his head slightly and said to someone in the darkness:
"Let him go."

"Bang, bang..."

The metal sleeves released their restraints, and the mechanical arms moved them away from Li Nuo.

Li Nuo felt his body relax; his neck and limbs were no longer restricted in movement.

He subconsciously looked down at his hands, his pupils shrinking slightly.

The palm of the hand became several sizes larger, and the head was further away from the ground.

Looking at his arms, chest, abdomen and thighs, his muscles are well-proportioned and full, just like a sports student who has accumulated more than ten years of experience.

If I was a bean sprout twenty-five days ago, then I am a tough steel cable now.

Strong, solid, energetic and masculine.

This earth-shaking change left Li Nuo stunned.

"I...I...what's wrong?"

The middle-aged man walked slowly towards Li Nuo. His outline and facial lines gradually became clear, and Li Nuo could see his face clearly.

"Dean? Amy's father?" Li Nuo recognized the man's identity. He was the dean of Xiachao College - Delton Maltz.

Delton has a resolute face as if it were chiseled by a knife. He wears a black trench coat with a large lapel, a light gray vertical striped shirt and a burgundy vest.

Even in middle age, with his windbreaker open and his hands in his trouser pockets, he is still as vigorous as ever.

His eyes were clear and bright, which was quite similar to Amy's, and could be seen as a symbol of inheritance between father and daughter.

Delton met Li Nuo's gaze and nodded lightly:
"Yes, you recognized me correctly. On paper, I am the dean of Xiachao College, but in reality, I am the chief agent of Lord Fugais.

"Ambitionists talk about ideals and rewards in vain, but great leaders make sure that favors are put into practice. The transformation that has taken place in you is the reward that Lord Fuges has given you in advance.

“As long as you remain loyal to Lord Fuges and assist me in searching for the cultists in the lower nest, this reward will not be taken back.

"...your unique psychic talent will also be protected and endorsed by Lord Fulgais."
