Chapter 247 04.0246: "Bait"

"Theosophamy?"

"A psionic science concerned with the interaction of the Warp and reality.

Based on ritual and control, not pure force.

It can seal a kind of mysterious energy within an object, a force that can be used to interfere with or close cracks in the barriers between planes rather than open them.

Even if the user is not a psychic, the rift can be closed, so among the tribes that learn to use this skill, a rare and important position is often born - 'Exorcist'. "

Thei looked at the girl and the Luban Lock in her hand:
“There is no doubt that her ancestral bloodline comes from a family of ‘exorcists’.

And this lock is the 'key' to seal the small subspace rift.

Her mother might have had an accident during a seal, and a certain process went wrong, which backfired and caused her to become insane and fall to her death."

Hearing this, the girl was dumbfounded. There was worry, disbelief, and a hint of empty relief in her eyes, so that the black library fell into a terrible silence.

After hearing this explanation, she finally understood why her father never mentioned her mother.

"So how can I use this power? I don't have any of the 'exorcist' skills you mentioned."

"Just continue working on your password first. I will borrow a few books from the Inquisitor later. I think Your Excellency the Inquisitor won't mind, right?" The girl smiled and looked at the Inquisitor, her eyes full of cleverness and cunning.

The Inquisitor sighed. He chose Thei Perroux as the throne agent not only because Brigadier General Edward Perroux had made many contributions to the Inquisition and even received personal commendation from the Lord Inquisitor, but also because Brigadier General Perroux's daughter Thei Perroux was intelligent, mature beyond her years, and had an almost photographic memory.

In addition, she is an Iota-level psychic who is on the edge of psychic review and does not need to enter the ranks of regulated psychics.

This level of psychic power is just at the point where one can actively and consciously manipulate psychic power, but the damage and impact are not significant, and no control is required.

Therefore, she can, to a certain extent, use some psychic tricks as she pleases and get the information she wants quietly.

Thanks to these talents, he was chosen by the Lord Inquisitors of the Anti-foreign Order as the 'Throne Agent'.

"As you wish, Miss Throne Agent."

The girl's little thoughts were so obvious that even ordinary people could see through them at a glance, but when looking into her sparkling eyes, almost no one would have the heart to refuse her and make her look about to cry, even though they knew she was just pretending.

The Inquisitor obviously had no way to deal with the request of his number one disciple. After all, becoming the throne agent meant that this person had full authority to act as the Inquisitor, just like an acting lieutenant in the Imperial Navy.

"Thank you! Teacher, you are the best. Next time Xiaoyao and I go shopping, I will definitely bring you some black truffle cake~" Then she turned to the girl.

"Look, it's done. If you have time, you can learn from it. Maybe you'll need it someday."

Thei happily held Yin Shuyao's hand and hugged her intimately. Her hair and clothes were dancing with fragrance. Anyone who came would think that they were a pair of sisters with a very good relationship.

At least that's what it seems like.

"Thank you, Miss Thei. I also hope to learn more about my mother and my family of exorcists by studying this art."

"Let's talk about the password." Lina interrupted: "Maybe this little thing is really a great help to our encryption, but how much time do we have?"

"Perhaps we can consider doing a bait experiment first," the judge said, "because I must activate the bait plan before the Sabbath (Sunday) deadline next week."

"So, Miss Peru, please start working. We are going to be busy." As a 'Hoodie', Lina said to Thei in a businesslike tone and expressionless face, but it sounded like a tit-for-tat. [Uh... Is it really okay to let the three of them work together?] Horatio vaguely sensed the smell of gunpowder between the girls.

He glanced at Louise beside him. She had a normal look as if she hadn't noticed anything, and didn't seem to understand what was going on between the girls.

"By the way, Horatio. Why don't we take some time these next few days to visit the orphans we rescued at the Church of the Goddess of Heaven."

Horatio's divergent thoughts were interrupted. After he reacted, he smiled and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"Have you heard about the recent series of disappearances of child stars in the Hive? I'm a little worried."

Abyss Port is a hive planet and also an important shipbuilding base.

Whenever the seasons change and the temperature starts to rise, exhaust gases from shipyards and factories will raise a white smog in the metropolis.

A drizzle mixed with pollutants was blown down by the wind. A young lady from Shangchao, wearing a warm and thick fur coat and with beautiful makeup on her face, was walking elegantly on the street in high heels, holding a small and exquisite umbrella.

With the haze and spring rains, the outdoor environment periodically deteriorates, and there are not many people on the brick and stone walkways at this time.

But as a 'governess' (a euphemism for mistress handed down from ancient Terra France) in a wealthy family, she had her own professional requirements and needed to be on call at all times.

Perhaps the employer thought it would be more meaningful to work in front of the French window while watching the drizzle. So she was heading to the employer's home not far from here despite the bad weather.

Suddenly, she saw a strange man wearing a top hat standing in front of her with his back to her.

The woman stopped instantly and looked at the mysterious man in the purple raincoat in front of her with vigilance.

Suddenly, the mysterious man turned around, revealing a scary and weird white smiling mask on his face, and walked quickly towards the woman.

The woman suddenly felt something was wrong, so she dropped her umbrella and turned to run. As soon as she let out a scream, someone rushed out from the side alley, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief that was coated with a pungent smell, and dragged her slender body, which was gradually becoming loose, into the alley.

Only one umbrella was left on the ground, and it drifted aimlessly across the street with the wind blowing through the alley. After an unknown amount of time, the muddy umbrella passed by a beam of car lights.

Arbitrator Javert jumped out of the car from the passenger seat, followed by eight arbitrators from the Ministry of Justice armed with shotguns.

The arbitrator picked up the umbrella from the ground and looked at it with a frown.

"Search the area! In teams of two."

The arbitrators sprang into action, but the shadows had already sunk into deeper darkness.

As cases of missing persons became more and more frequent, a strange legend of the foggy city gradually spread both above and below the ground in Abyss Harbor.

After 6 hours of expedited repair work with the help of many experts.

"Thank you for your help. I have been thinking about the uniqueness of these five points for a long time but have not figured it out yet, so I have not dared to use this password, fearing that it may cause errors."

"You're welcome, it's just a small problem." Lina straightened her back and waist, which had been sore from sitting with her head bent for hours, and stretched with difficulty, then took out a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe the sweat from her forehead. She didn't look as relaxed as she said.

"I will immediately have the Admiralty send three consecutive encrypted communications to your Thinker array. The signal will be a Level 2 strong signal, which will appear both urgent and natural, and will not easily reveal that we are using any tricks. I think you can have Inquisitor Adlatia prepare for detection."

"Just do as you say, Mr. Cochrane." The Inquisitor looked at the Thinker Array and swiftly sent a low-frequency signal to the female Inquisitor, with whom he had formed a brief ally this time but might kill each other the next time. The signal was hidden in the stronger signal sent to multiple places at the same time, like a small boat quietly floating by in the busy signal canal.

　Theosophamy comes from page 2007 of the GW official background book "The Inquisition" published in 69. It is a psychic science mastered by a minority of human races. The user does not need to be a psychic, which avoids the risk of being quickly corrupted, so as to close the rift for sealing.
