When Ariel woke up again, she had been tied up in Ignis's private laboratory. Although the chief think tank's laboratory did not have the bottles and jars that a normal laboratory should have, a picture of a kidnapping person

The test bench still exists.

Horus and Raynor stood far away from the bed looking at Ariel, while the biological sages of the Adeptus Mechanicus and Ignis stood by the test bench and played with the instruments.

"How are you feeling, Dr. Ariel?" Ignis saw Ariel regaining consciousness, and began to test Ariel's level of consciousness.

Ariel, who had just woken up, was confused. Her memory was still at the time when she had mutated. But when she looked at herself, she found that the mutation had never happened, but now she was wearing something as bad as a ghost agent.

A device designed to adapt to the environment and in the style of a combat uniform. Purple light paths flowed through the device from time to time, making Ariel feel very uncomfortable.

"I, what's wrong with me? Am I not infected by a virus?"

"You are very lucky, Ariel Hansen," the biological sage explained while scanning her with an instrument:

"The swarm virus vaccine you developed was a failure. It was unable to combat viral infection and could only preserve part of your sanity during your mutation process, which only made you more miserable."

"But it is still useful to retain some of your sanity." Ignis took over. "It is these sanities that allow me to pull you back from the will of the swarm after using psychic energy to suppress the mutation."

Hearing Ignis's words, Ariel became excited instantly, "Then if this is the case, my people..."

Under Ariel's expectant gaze, Ignis shook his head, "Unfortunately, the vaccine can retain your meaning only because you have potential psychic talents. Ordinary people simply cannot do it when they are completely infected by the virus."

Their consciousness completely dissipated in an instant. And even if they could, with just a few dozen think tanks, they wouldn't be able to apply suppression spells to hundreds of thousands of people."

"It's all over, Doctor. We have saved 230,000 lives. This is the limit of what we can do." Renault said, standing aside.

"It's less than half."

"At least there is hope." Renault advised.

After confirming that Ariel was still the rational Ariel who thought about her people, Ignis untied the alloy hoop that originally bound Ariel.

"So when can I go back to work?"

Ignis thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid there will be a moment when the insect swarm consciousness dissipates or abandons you."

Facing Ariel's confused gaze, Ignis explained: "The swarm virus is not a simple biological virus. Any creature infected with the virus will be controlled by the swarm consciousness at the spiritual level. This is why the vaccine will fail.

The reason is that if you want to solve the virus in your body, you must be freed from the control of the swarm mind."

Ignis paused and then said: "But unfortunately, I can't do anything in front of hundreds of billions of insect swarms to form the insect swarm consciousness. Maybe my genetic father, Lord Magnus, can, but the reality is that I can only suppress you.

There are more mutations, and I can’t do more.”

Having said this, Ignis was a little frustrated. After all, he was not the most powerful think tank in the Thousand Sons Legion like Ahriman, but he soon cheered up. He still had unlimited possibilities. One day he would surpass Ahriman and lift the scarlet letter.

curse.

After conducting a deeper examination of Ariel, Ignis discovered that her originally weak body had been deeply strengthened by the virus. This quiet female postdoctoral fellow now had a physical strength strong enough to compete with some Space Marines who had not yet fully transformed.

Compared to new recruits.

Moreover, after being infected by the virus, Dr. Ariel's psychic potential has been developed, and his current psychic abilities have reached the first-tier level among ghost agents.

Watching the psychic Ariel being tested on the training field, Renault had a sudden idea that maybe Tosh could help train Ariel.

Regarding Renault's idea, Ariel agreed to the training proposal without hesitation. After experiencing two swarm crises in a row, she now deeply understands that only with strong power can she protect everything she cares about.

And Tosh was also willing to help Ariel train. Anyway, after Reno led the Rangers to raid New Folsom and rescued all of his ghost brothers, Tosh was very happy to work for Reno.

"You must be careful when using your psychic powers, Ariel, and you should not use drugs like Diazine." Ignis, who happened to pass by the training ground and saw Ariel and Tosh training, gave a stern warning.

.

"Excessive use of psychic energy will cause suppressed mutations to start again, and the use of terazine will stimulate the generation of mutations."

Despite some dissatisfaction, Ignis's warning is still very reasonable. Ariel has not completely escaped the control of the insect swarm consciousness. Excessive use of psychic powers will only attract the attention of the insect swarm consciousness, that is, the Queen of Blades. And terrazine

Even worse, it is not a good thing to have a more empty relationship.

"If it's just about training psychic abilities, then you can come to the Think Tank to find me." Ignis said. Anyway, there are only a dozen Thousand Sons in the expeditionary force, and he doesn't dare to recruit new soldiers randomly, so Ignis'

There was very little work, and he did not recommend teaching an additional apprentice.

"That's what you said." Ariel chose to be Ignis's student without hesitation. Of course, her first goal was to learn the magic that suppresses physical mutation.

Just when Avril first started to study under Ignis, the expeditionary force also arrived in the Sigma sector as planned. As soon as they arrived at the predetermined location, the flagship's auspicious device detected the Xel'Naga abandoned ship.

"Hurry, hurry up and get closer." Sage Clexis was very excited. "In the name of the God of All Machines, I will definitely get that ship."

Oil guys have always been very active in digging graves. Of course, there are also people who are very reluctant, such as Tal'darin who is guarding the abandoned Xel'Naga ship.

These Tal'darim will wrap the entire abandoned Xel'Naga ship in disintegrating ground and build a base on it to defend their so-called god's creation.

After many holy places were desecrated, Tal'darin determined that there were two forces collecting Xel'Naga artifacts. One was the rangers headed by the evil gangster Raynor, and the other was a group of Cybermen in red robes.

The appearance of the expeditionary fleet immediately angered the Tal'darin executive guarding the place. Thank you for reading the Xel'Naga's holy ship. It is no longer an ordinary blasphemer and must be attacked hard.
