Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 163 The Corpse in the Meteorite
Luo Xi originally wanted to continue strolling around the planet's dock with the group of battleship drivers he had selected.

But Guilliman's communication had already reached the space transfer station, and he urgently needed Roche to go back.

"Goodbye for now, Captain Gantula. The Primarch wants to see me about something important. We can have a drink together next time when we meet face to face." Luo Xi said regretfully.

"This brief separation is for a future reunion." Guntula said goodbye in a Chogoris-style sentence.

The next second, Roche's projection appeared directly inside the Primarch's palace.

"What happened? Why are you looking for me so urgently?"

The injuries caused by the previous assassination were not that serious for the Primarch, and after some treatment, Guilliman once again threw himself into his endless work.

The Lord of Five Hundred Worlds, the most honorable man in the entire Eastern Galaxy, did not even have a second to think about enjoyment.

He must never stop, must be absolutely rational, and must consider the overall situation.

Guilliman put down the quill in his hand, his face solemn.

"Do you remember the meteor that fell over Macragge before I met with the Alpha Legion assassins? I asked the hero Valentus Doro to handle that matter, and now I have detailed information."

Luo Xi didn't think too much about it. This was something that happened not long ago. However, the subsequent assassination of Guilliman was a major event, which made people involuntarily downplay this trivial matter.

"Of course I remember. You were furious that Macragge's defenses were easily breached by a meteorite that entered the atmosphere. You even discovered it with your naked eyes."

"Is there something wrong with that meteorite? Is it worth all the trouble?"

Although Roboute hadn't said anything yet, Luo Xi could sense something strange in the tense atmosphere.

There must be something wrong with that meteorite.

Otherwise, Guilliman would definitely not have come to him specifically for this matter. He would never be so bored.

Guilliman took a deep breath. The hero Doro had been standing beside him for a long time.

"Let Dorlo speak. He is the person in charge of the first scene."

This hero of the Five Hundred Worlds bowed slightly, and then described in a serious and solemn manner what happened on the scene.

"I rushed to the target area the moment the meteorite fell. Before arriving, I had arranged for the nearest guard force to block the area to prevent anyone or anything from entering or leaving."

"In the deep pit created by the smash, I saw a burning human statue through my scanning goggles."

"And I checked Macragge's orbital defense logs and confirmed that no personnel were missing or any unusual circumstances occurred. That person did not break through the cordon - he appeared suddenly."

There was a hint of doubt in Dollo's tone. This was unbelievable.

A human inexplicably came outside Macragge's atmosphere and fell to the surface of the planet.

After experiencing the repeated plots by the Word Bearers, it is hard to admit that this was just an accident.

Accidents may really exist, but those accidents that look like accidents are definitely not accidents.

"I saw that the statue-like object had been completely burned into some kind of charred flesh and blood. I don't know what kind of existence can keep its body intact in the intense friction of Macragge's atmosphere. Even a Space Marine wearing an old Mark 4 Extreme Power Armor would only be burned by the atmosphere and only remnants would be left."

"And the charcoal figure was not wearing power armor. It was completely naked when it fell."

"That is definitely not a living creature. The scanning device built into my power armor has confirmed that its skeleton and internal structure have been completely shattered. First, it was burned by the high temperature of the atmosphere, and then it crashed to the ground, smashing all its structures."

Even if it didn't burn to ash, the shockwave created by its impact on the ground would be enough to reduce flesh, bones, and other organic matter to ash. Everything exuded a strange aura, and out of caution, Dorlo Yingjie called for the support of the think tank director.

The think tank director did not find much after several investigations. The body, which had been burned beyond recognition, showed no suspicious signs of witchcraft except that it seemed to have traveled through the subspace.

"Sir, I have placed the body in a secret base outside Macragge. It is guarded by a company of Ultramarines veterans, and the pharmacist is ready to take samples for testing."

Faced with something of unknown origin, it was naturally impossible for Dorlo to take it back to where the Father of Genes was.

"And I have ordered the Untouchables Tactical Team to send some personnel to station deep inside the base to guard the body together."

Dorlo's work style is extremely meticulous and he takes into account potential crises in all aspects.

"Then what do you want to ask me to do? The body has been completely burned to charcoal." Luo Xi was a little puzzled.

Could it be possible that the corpse that had turned into charcoal could suddenly be resurrected on the spot?

There are not so many immortals. Just a piece of black charcoal falling from the sky will become one.

"In fact, I have a bad feeling." Guilliman spoke. He looked a little at a loss. For some reason, he felt a little panic when he heard that the thing that fell from Macragge's atmosphere had turned into charcoal.

It was as if his subconscious was telling him that the unknown thing had some connection with him.

"I want you to confirm what that thing is, please."

"Regarding the Adeptus Mechanicus, I don't want them to know about this. Besides, their efficiency is too slow."

Guilliman's unusual posture aroused Roche's curiosity. He wanted to know what made Roboute so uneasy.

Since waking up, he has become more and more concerned about irrational summons such as premonitions, intuition, and dreams. Although these do not sound scientific, most of the time they do work.

Luo Xi is not a pedantic person. If it works, then use it without being shy about it.

"Okay, I'll go there." Luo Xi agreed.

However, before going to the secret fortress base, he took some sophisticated equipment from the research institute left in Macragge, because he was just a projection now and many things could not be used at will.

Doro immediately arranged for people to secretly go to the base outside the city of Macragge.

"Lord Luo Xi, we have not been able to identify the identity or origin of the body. We have taken it back to the medical hall of the fortress for safekeeping."

As he walked, Dolro said, "In addition, we are collecting all clues in the area of ​​the impact point and all witnesses have been temporarily controlled."

"You did a good job. It's better to be safe than sorry." Having a subordinate like Dole is really a worry-free thing for a leader.

"I wonder if there's a chance to get a few more talents from Roboute. Anyway, he has a big family and a lot of talent, so he has a lot of talent."

Roche thought to himself, while Guilliman, who was far away in the inner court office of Macragge City, couldn't help but sneeze.

"It seems that it is right to let Luo Xi go. Why? I feel uneasy."

The quill in Guilliman's hand paused, and the smudged ink left a spot on a piece of parchment waiting to be approved.

The Primarch's heart was in a state of confusion.
