Hammer 40k: Far East Storm
Chapter 356: Unable to Betray (1/2)
Li burned the letter in his hand, and then asked someone to call back the postman who delivered the letter.
In fact, the postman had not left. He had been wandering in the hall under Li's office, waiting for Li's summons.
When the postman walked into Li's office for the second time, Li carefully observed the person who delivered the letter for the first time. This was a young man who looked ordinary and had nothing special. Just like countless pedestrians who passed by you on the street, he had an extremely ordinary face, wearing a dark-colored postman's uniform and a peaked cap. Anyone who saw him would get a clear impression that he was just an ordinary postman.
Yes, anyone, even Li. It was only after he read Edward Jenner's letter that he realized in astonishment that this person was not ordinary at all, because he was definitely Edward Jenner's confidant and a loyal subordinate of the master of the Tribunal who had been doing shameful things. How could such a person be just an ordinary postman?
If disguise skills could be rated, then the postman in front of Li was definitely a master of disguise. In an instant, Li's perception of the postman in front of him changed from indifference to extreme vigilance.
Li carefully looked at the postman in front of him, but still could not see anything extraordinary. The other party just stood in front of Li honestly, just like an ordinary person waiting for questions from his superiors, but the more this happened, the more it showed that the other party was extraordinary, "Who are you?" Li asked.
"A messenger." After the postman answered this, he looked at Li's face and added: "A reliable messenger."
"I know this, you are a messenger, I just want to know more about you, let's start with the simplest part, what's your name?"
"Your Excellency thinks I am unusual, so you want to know me better?"
"Yes, I rarely meet people like you. There are not many people in this universe who can make me look wrong." Li said frankly: "I'm sorry, I underestimated you before."
"It's not your fault, it's my ability," the postman replied: "I am good at making people think I am ordinary, of course, I can also become more dazzling, although I think your question It's meaningless, especially after you have the most basic understanding of me, you will find that the answer you get has completely lost its value, but you are the leader of a regiment after all, I will show respect to you, so I will tell you honestly that my name is Jess. Qinna, and then, this is another look I often use. "While saying this, Jess. Qinna reached out and took off his cap, brushed his hair with his hand, and the inconspicuous gray hair color turned into a brilliant golden color. At the same time, the long hair poured out of the hat and fell straight to the shoulders. Then he rubbed his face hard again, and then took off a layer of leather mask from his face, revealing the bright face under the mask, and even his eyes became radiant in an instant.
In an instant, the inconspicuous, ordinary, dusty ordinary postman turned into a dazzling beauty with brilliant and beautiful golden hair in front of Li. Even though she was wearing the same clothes, it still couldn't cover up the beautiful brilliance she exuded at this time.
Just like a big star in a TV show, she only used one action to transform into another person. Now, Jess. Qinna standing in front of Li has a special temperament, which is often called star temperament. As long as she stands here, she can easily become the focus of everyone's attention.
The visual change in front of him really surprised Li a little. He had never seen such a method. In an instant, the person in front of him changed from him to her, from an ordinary postman to a bright star with a charming temperament. He, or she, just changed his face, changed his hairstyle, and changed his hair color, and then the whole person became completely different.
Li had never seen such a method, but that didn't mean he had never heard of it. There was a terrifying place in the empire that was good at producing such people. "Are you from the Assassin's Court?"
"To be precise, I'm a Calix assassin." The beautiful woman bowed slightly and performed a standard and impeccable imperial aristocratic etiquette. "Of course, I'm now working for Master Edward Jenner."
"I see." Li nodded, indicating that he understood.
A Calix assassin, no wonder she said that everything she said was meaningless, including her name.
If you want to use a word to describe the Calix assassins who have completed the imperial training and walked out of the Assassin's Court, it is "lie".
It is no exaggeration to say that each of these Kalisi assassins is an actor of the movie emperor level. At the same time, everything about them can be disguised, including face, appearance, clothing, behavior habits, and voice. They are like chameleons, able to change into various colors at will, and use special drugs and makeup techniques to change their appearance and appearance. In fact, if we talk about acting, these Kalisi assassins are far better than those movie emperors. After all, if an actor makes a mistake, he can cut and start over, but these Kalisi assassins rarely get a chance to start over. They are often sent to perform some extreme assassination missions, such as disguising themselves as enemy soldiers to assassinate the enemy commander. This kind of extreme mission, once failed, means death, and there is absolutely no chance to start over.
Of course, this kind of mission does not seem so terrible on the surface. It is just a secret infiltration after disguise and then assassination. The elite in the army often do this. But the enemies of mankind are not only humans, but also Eldar, Orcs, Chaos creatures, and various aliens. The strength of these Calis assassins lies in that they can do all these. Even transforming into aliens is not difficult for them. And the strongest thing is that they complete their tasks alone most of the time.
Li once encountered an assassination from the Calis assassins. An assassin named Cassandra sneaked into Li's research institute and stole a nuclear bomb. Then she came to Li with the nuclear bomb and tried to threaten Li to join the ranks of revolutionaries.
Later, the assassin was easily subdued by Li's daughter Li Anjie. During the interrogation, it was learned that the other party was not a real assassin from the Assassin's Court, but a revolutionary organization found an ancient site of the Calis Assassin's Court. After obtaining the training method of the Calis assassins, they created a semi-finished product. Of course, this method has now been obtained by Li, and the semi-finished assassin training base has also been built.
But, after all, it was just a semi-finished product. Looking back, that Cassandra was completely different from the real Calis assassin who was active in the dark.
So Li gave up on continuing to have an in-depth conversation with the Calis assassin. It was wishful thinking to get information from such a person. She revealed her identity in front of Li, just to show Li a clear message that there was no need to continue the meaningless temptation and conversation, because every word of the Calis assassin could be the most real lie. Their actions, their expressions, their names, nothing could be believed.
"Then I will call you Jace Jenner. Is this your real name? Oh, sorry, I asked a stupid question, then please tell Master Edward Jenner that I do."
"I do," Jace Jenner repeated Li's words carefully and slowly. Seeing that Li had no objection, he said, "I have clearly received it. I will definitely convey your kindness to Master Edward Jenner."
"When can I meet Edward Jenner? Some things must be discussed with him beforehand."
"The master has the same idea as you. I believe it will be soon."
"Then goodbye, Jace Jenner, I wish you a safe journey."
"May the Emperor of God bless you forever."
After Jace Jenner put on a baseball cap and turned back into the ordinary postman and left Li's office, Li also finished his work at hand and returned to his quiet room. After taking a hot bath, he changed into a loose bathrobe, lit the incense burner with the effect of calming the mind in the quiet room, and then knelt on the wooden board and entered into a deep meditation.
After finishing the infrastructure construction work in the Golden Wilderness, Li needed to spend some time thinking about the next steps.
First, the most important thing, which is before everything, is to strengthen himself.
Because he is now in an extremely unsafe situation, it is simply full of dangers. If he lives leisurely like before, he will probably be killed by himself sooner or later.
Yes, not by others, but by himself.
In a profound way, in fact, it can't be blamed on others. In the final analysis, it is still too stupid and naive.
A problem that Li has been unwilling to face and unwilling to recall is that Elizabeth, this woman, has seriously betrayed Li, twice.
The first time was when Elizabeth submitted her demonization report to the trial court. Yes, she did not betray herself immediately. She also had a long ideological struggle. This report was delayed for a full five years. But it still cannot change the nature of her betrayal. She betrayed Li, and if nothing unexpected happens, Li will die miserably.
Elizabeth knew this very well, but she finally chose to report the truth, and she finally chose to be loyal to the Empire.
If it weren't for Edward Jenner and his gang of real lunatics who helped to cover it up, Li would probably have been fleeing for his life between the stars.
Li was actually very grateful to Edward Jenner and his gang from the bottom of his heart.
The second time was when he participated in the Eden Battle of the Eldar not long ago. When Li recalled it later, he vaguely felt that this was a conspiracy against him arranged by some existence in the chaos. This conspiracy was a little too deep, and Li was still a little unsure. Later, in a conversation with the Phoenix Lord, he was able to confirm this guess.
This time, Elizabeth betrayed herself again. Li didn't want to think about this process because he had no reason except that he was stupid.
In retrospect, the war between the Spirit Tribes in Eden has been going on for a long time, lasting for ten years. Elizabeth was definitely not found at the last moment. Elizabeth should have been with the Spirit Tribe very early on. The clansmen reached an agreement, but this was an extremely smart and terrifying woman. She didn't just come to him because Li was still wary of Elizabeth at that time. The last betrayal had just happened not long ago. Even if Li is a bit stupid sometimes, but he is not a real fool after all.
Elizabeth is an excellent hunter. She has long seen through Li's weaknesses, and then she took advantage of Li Anjie.
After Li Anjie was kidnapped, Elizabeth understood that this was an excellent opportunity.
Elizabeth first found Li because Li Anjie was kidnapped and she needed to rescue Li Anjie. Now recalling Elizabeth's tears, Li felt gritted in her heart. Elizabeth pretended to be very similar at the time, like... A mother who has truly lost her daughter and is helpless. But thinking about it now, is Li really the only one she can turn to for help? No, she is a judge, a hidden judge who is dead in the eyes of many people. She understands that this is her advantage. Precisely because she is a dead person in the eyes of everyone, she has been able to do intelligence work in these years. His career flourished, and he finally avoided the eyes and ears of the Tribunal and hooked up with the Spirit Tribe people.
Elizabeth can rescue Li Anjie by herself. She is a real strong man who can hunt demons alone. Moreover, she can also get help from the Tribunal. She should have that ability, but she has to do something between the Tribunal and her daughter. She made a compromise choice that maximized interests. She confessed Li Anjie's existence in front of Li at a very appropriate time. Facts have proved that Elizabeth was very successful. Li, like all men, was overwhelmed by a sudden The daughter who appeared in his life was completely unprepared. The sudden appearance of his daughter completely confused Li.
So Li Anjie rescued his daughter together with Elizabeth. At this time, Elizabeth's goal had been achieved. In this plan, no one suffered losses. Li Anjie was rescued safely, and she also made Li Anjie successful. He appeared in Li's life, and at the same time established two new connections with Li that could not be severed.
Comrades and relatives.
This is Li's weakness. Elizabeth was once a battle nun. She had the most fanatical days and saw the ugliest world. She later became an outstanding judge in the Tribunal. She used to be as cold as ice. That was because she had too much past, which gave her a pair of sharp eyes that could see through all human nature. This is one of the most important abilities of the judge in the Tribunal. The judge has insight into human nature and sees through people's emotions. Weaknesses, searching for those hidden evil and cunning demons among the crowd, this is the daily job of the judge. If you can't see through another person's character, then all of this is out of the question.
Elizabeth saw through that Li, an ancient man who had experienced a long war and now the leader of the regiment, still maintained an incredible innocence. He was still willing to trust his comrades and relatives.
Perhaps it was the rigorous training that made the men of the Alstat Chapter full of muscles?
Well, no matter what the reason is, in short, Captain Li will always easily trust his comrades and relatives. For these people, Li is as if he is in a state of shock, extremely lack of defense.
After rescuing her daughter with Li, Elizabeth became Li's relative and comrade-in-arms. Did she have any thoughts of betraying Li at that time? Li didn't know it, but the relationship had been established at that time, and as Li Anjie entered Li's life, the connection between Elizabeth and Li became even closer.
So when Elizabeth invited Li to go with her to explore the Spirit Tribe people, the reason was why Li readily agreed. This was not something Li planned, but as the mother of his child and as a comrade who had fought alongside him, Li could not refuse the request.
Then he was betrayed by Elizabeth again.
Thinking carefully about the two betrayals, it was just because I was stupid and weak.
You have to distinguish between the two, stupid, it's the reason why you are fooled. And being weak is the reason why he was betrayed.
Why did Elizabeth betray herself again and again? Because she is weak, comparing the two, Li's value is far less than what the Eldar people give. Elizabeth will naturally betray Li for the benefit of the empire. She is such a terrible judge who is loyal to the empire and good at calculations. .
But if Li is strong enough, then everything will be different. Elizabeth can betray the leader of a small war group without any scruples, but for those truly powerful war groups, she and her Inquisition must go Try to be flattering.
Perhaps for those people, trust and all that is nonsense, betrayal or not is just a matter of price, and putting oneself on the scale is still a little too light.
Li never thought about falling in the same pit for the third time. Regarding Elizabeth, he naturally wanted to kill her at first, but the other party hid completely, not appearing in front of Li at all, and blindly blaming others , and it was not Li's character. He started from himself, and finally found the root cause, which was that he was too weak, whether it was himself or his own battle group.
We need to make the chapter stronger, and ourselves stronger, so that the Knights Templar can exert greater influence in the Far East. To achieve this, there is only one way, that is, to constantly participate more in Far Eastern affairs, participate in more battles, use brutal battles to hone our warriors, and use the merits gained after the battles to exchange for better equipment, more powerful firepower, and more advanced organization in the chapter elders' council, so that the Knights Templar, and ourselves, become an existence that others dare not betray.
