Happiness Is a Rare Word
"Cough cough cough cough cough!!!" Lin En coughed hard several times, and his spiritual energy turned into a big slap, which slapped Mothership's big mouth shut.
"--!" Mothership let out an inaudible wail.
Lin En sent it the command "If you move again, I'll kill you."
"..." Mothership lay back decadently.
Just like a large district.
The sound of falling down shook the mountains.
Valens The sole of his foot slipped. He tried to stand upright and looked up.
The largest ship, Mothership, is two hundred meters away.
Even though it is motionless now, its carapace is sticking to the ground, like a big purple stone mountain.
But it is not a stone, it is a living Tyranids, a natural disaster of Milky Way.
The huge Tyranids Mothership behaved like a dog under the hands of Master Lin En.
Lin En turned around and greeted him, "Sir Inquisitor, you can take a closer look."
Valens was still hesitating, but Lin En had already walked casually, walking to the side of the largest Mothership, stood still, raised his hand and patted its carapace.
It's like slapping a horse on the butt.
Bang bang bang, show off the good horse's ass.
Mothership's tentacles moved.
Valens's footsteps stopped.
Lin En patted it again with a "pop!"
The tentacle was thicker than his waist. It stretched out from the side of the carapace, slowly swayed in the air, and then retracted.
Mothership lay flat on the ground motionless.
Lin En turned to look at Valens: "Okay, Mr. Inquisitor, you can come over now."
This giant thing is really scary.
Valens cheered himself up and saw Master Lin En standing next to Tyranids Mothership safe and sound, so he slowly walked over.
The full picture of Mothership unfolded in front of him.
It is gray-purple, with lines and cracks on the surface. It is very tall and lies motionless like a hill.
Valens looked at it for a while, then raised his hand and lightly touched the carapace.
Hard and cold, like a stone on a winter night.
But when his fingers touched the carapace, he could clearly feel that there was something underneath the carapace, something pulsating, lifelike, and alive.
It's real Tyranids Mothership... It's not an illusion.
Valens touched the carapace under his hand, feeling dazed.
Mom, I'm on my way... it turns out that Tyranids Mothership feels like this...
Lin En said, "Do you want to go up and have a look?"
Valens turned to look at him.
Lin En pointed at the top of Mothership's carapace.
Valens was infected by Lin En's calmness. Inexplicably, he went from being nervous at the beginning to being able to step on Tyranids and Mothership's head together with Lin En.
He walked to the top of the carapace and stood next to Lin En.
Desolate Planet spread out underfoot. Twelve Mothership-class Bio-ships lay on the surface of the planet, and Escort Frigate surrounded Mothership.
Farther away are Bolomite and Echo Star, and even farther away is Maelstrom, with purple cracks across Milky Way.
Lin En also said that he could take Valens into Tyranids Mothership to have a look.
Not many people in Imperium have had this kind of experience, it is very rare.
But Valens looked at Tyranids Mothership's huge mouth and sharp teeth, and quickly shook his hand and said no, no, no, he understood.
"You really don't want to read it? It's quite interesting inside."
"No need! It's really not necessary!"
*******
After seeing the obedient Tyranids Mothership... oh no, it was Imperium and the loyal Purple Carapace Chapter.
Valens Inquisitor stayed at Bolomite for a few more days.
He originally planned to leave after reading Purple Carapace Chapter. After the report was written and the news was sent back, his mission was considered completed.
But he stood on the top of Mothership's carapace and looked at Desolate Planet for a while, and then looked at Bolomite for a while. Then he came down, returned to the Governor's Palace, put down his luggage, and told Lin En that he wanted to stay a few more days.
OK.
We Bolomite are now rich, and we welcome the leaders to live and eat for free at any time... Oh no, come and give us guidance.
Then Valens Inquisitor stayed at Bolomite.
In the past few days, he went to Industrial Zone, the market, the city, the square, Fortress, Echo Star...
There are happy people and happy children everywhere.
He stayed at Bolomite and Echo Star for several days and saw everything about Bolomite and Echo Star.
Every day he saw the same thing, a constant and unchanging peace.
Every place is clean, tidy and orderly. People have food, clothing, work, housing, and hope.
Valens Inquisitor was very satisfied with everything he saw and heard in Bolomite and thought it was a pure paradise.
The happiness of the people and their love for those in power are both heartfelt and admirable.
... Happiness, this is such a rare word in 40k.
Sometimes Valens looks at Bolomite and Echo Star, and often forgets that this is Maelstrom, and really feels a little confused.
