Chapter 452 Rebirth From the Ashes: A Long Night

I have to say that the bed in this bedroom is really big, spacious and comfortable. The high-hanging Roman bed curtains are hung everywhere, and the comfortable felt quilt is so warm and comfortable. It is indeed a good thing that only the Governor's Mansion can have.

The huge floor-to-ceiling window on the side is tilted on the whole wall. The brilliant starlight is projected from outside, shining on the swaying gauze beside the desk. The mosaic puzzle wall and the white marble floor also reflect the light. The water surface in the bathtub, which is still emitting hot steam, also reflects a little luster.

Under the shining of the stars, messy clothes are scattered on the ground beside the pool. Those clothes have witnessed the process from slow order to messy dragging. They fall on the ground in a mess and extend to the bed.

The plush blanket is also covered with wrinkles. It looks like it has been squeezed in a mess, and it is all messed up with the sheets and pillows. There is a glass of unfinished wine at the head of the bed, and a hand reaches over to pick it up.

Vito, leaning on the soft pillow at the head of the bed, fell deeply into it. He let the comfort wrap him up. At this moment, he held a wine glass in one hand and hugged the bare shoulders of the beauty lying beside him with the other hand. She lay on the messy sheets like a kitten, with only a thin blanket covering her legs.

Vito glanced at her. It was late at night. Everyone had fallen asleep and no one would disturb them. Vito could enjoy the comfort of this moment, hugging the beauty, drinking wine and looking at the stars, enjoying the tranquility of the night.

But not yet. Vito took the communicator from the bedside table at hand. He pressed the thing and the holographic image was projected in front of him. As the waiting circle rolled for a moment, a figure appeared on it.

"Angwa, did I disturb your sleep?"

"The sun hasn't set in Terra's time zone. Is there anything I can help you with? Grand Master."

The current Terra representative of the Inquisition, Chief Inquisitor Angwa, who continued to manage the Inquisition in Vito's absence, appeared on the image. His body was made up of dark green light spots, and a faint green light was projected on Vito's face.

"Help me contact Inquisitor Eisenhorn. I need to see him."

"Eisenhorn?" Angwa asked in surprise. He frowned slightly in confusion, but he sensed something with his intuition as the leader of the Inquisition for many years.

"Sir, can you tell me why? Is this related to the King in Yellow?"

"Don't ask too many questions, Angwa. Too much curiosity will do you no good."

Vito's words were intermittent but like a cold blade, they were passed into Angwa's ears word by word, as if an invisible knife was across his heart. The words were short but extremely majestic. Angwa and Vito looked at each other in silence for a while, and then nodded in obedience.

"Very good, sir. Eisenhorn is on a mission in the Vlasov Fortress World. You can find him there." "What kind of mission?" "The Chaos Cultists are rebellious. The Governor of the Fortress World requested the support of the Inquisition. Eisenhorn happened to be nearby and rushed there."

"I will inform him that you will go there and let him be prepared." "Very good, then, so be it. I wish you a good dream, Anguwa." "You too, Grand Master."

The communicator stopped abruptly, and the green light was instantly absorbed into it, but just when the light disappeared, the beauty next to Vito moved. She sat up and leaned on the pillow next to Vito. Her silver hair slid up from the side of Vito's arm, bringing that unique electric shock and numbness.

"Did I wake you up?" Vito said as he put the communicator on the bedside, but Lilith beside him used her white fingers to comb her messy silver hair. The hair was as messy as the sheets under her body, like a chicken coop, and was soaked with sweat.

"No, I didn't sleep." Lilith sat next to Vito, and the faint starlight hit her body, illuminating her slightly purple skin.

In fact, Lilith didn't need to sleep. She was a demon, essentially a ball of energy. She didn't need to sleep, eat or even breathe like a living creature. She usually ate and drank, just for show, but every night she didn't sleep when she lay next to Vito, so she heard the conversation just now.

"We just finished going to bed, and you started to hook up with others behind my back? It's really your style."

"Don't be petty, you know why, Eisenhorn has been tracking that guy for many years, and he has some important clues that can save us from starting from scratch."

Vito said, and put his arm around Lilith's shoulders. He pulled her to his side, and the latter leaned on him without resistance, and her palm climbed onto Vito's chest. The small succubus tail under her swayed on the bed sheet, and Vito's fingers also stroked the small horns on her head.

"Do you have any news?"

"No, the believers have received my message, but you know, this galaxy is huge."

Lilith leaned against him, her fingers playing with Vito's hair beside her ear, turning and chatting, "Do you really want to believe what Khayon said? Really? This is a trap."

"Of course it's a trap. It's obvious that Khayon is a believer of Tzeentch."

"But you still stepped into it."

He put his arm around her shoulders, his fingers gently stroking her smooth skin. Vito leaned on the pillow, and the starlight slanted in to illuminate the head of the Roman column bed.

"I know Khayon is lying to me, but the reason why Tzeentch's lies are deadly is not precisely because the lie itself is so clever, but because the lie itself is also part of the truth. Tzeentch weaves lies with the truth. This is the most brilliant thing. fraud."

Tzeentch believers will lie, but they will not always lie. The reason why they are clever is because their lies themselves are composed of several truths, and only the fatal lies are hidden in them. True and false, even the most outstanding It is also difficult for the inquisitor to tell the difference.

Lilith lay her head on his chest, and he touched her head with his other hand. The hand that was originally on the shoulder now fell on that perfect back, hugging her from the sunken part in the center. Her waist, the cold skin brought a unique touch.

Vito's eyes looked at the swaying gauze in front of the window, which cast a dreamy light under the starlight, as if this place itself was part of the dream, "Kayon's real conspiracy is not here, the part about the King in Yellow is Really, his real purpose, or rather Abaddon's, was to give me a reason to board that ship through this series of events."

"Let me board the Vengeful Spirit. In addition to Sanguinius, that brat Ezekiel will be waiting for me here, setting up a good situation and inviting you to the urn."

"He lost last time, and this time he is probably planning to regain face in front of the Four Gods, so this is not a conspiracy at all, but a conspiracy."

Kayon knew that Vito would guess it. He was not stupid, and he knew that he was not stupid either, so the trap was not disguised in any way from the beginning. It was like digging a hole directly in the ground, without spreading leaves or covering it. Go up to the dust and there it is.

"But you still plan to go up? Even if you know it's a trap." Lilith said softly. Her hand went to Vito's other shoulder. She lay on his chest, and Vito could smell Lilith's wet hair. , an aggressive light fragrance.

He chuckled lightly, picked up the wine glass with the hand that was stroking her hair and took a sip. The red wine made Vito's abdomen feel hot. He shook the glass and looked at the wine that looked like blood in it.

"Even if it is, I have to go up. I have no choice, right? The Eagle Child is up there. I have to go up to find him and then bring him back. The pit is on the road I must pass through. I can either jump over it or fall into it. Then fight your way out."

Lilith was silent for a moment, her head squirmed on Vito's chest, and the silver hair rubbed against his chest, "It looks like this will be a crazy journey, right?"

"I think so, it will be very exciting." Vito said, holding the wine glass and preparing to take a sip, but Lilith suddenly snatched the wine glass away. She raised the glass and shook the wine in it, "And you will Take me with you, right? How could I miss such an exciting thing?"

"Really? Are you afraid of irritating Khorne or even Tzeentch again? Counting Nurgle before, you have offended almost all the evil gods in the subspace."

Vito looked at Lilith who sat up. She suddenly sat on Vito's waist, holding the wine glass with a snake-like smile, "We are the ones who do whatever we want, right? As for those guys, ha, let Let them lick it."

Lilith drank the wine in one gulp as she spoke. The wine was licked from the corner of her mouth by the curved tongue, and she threw the glass away. It smashed on the marble floor beside the bed. The broken glass looked like shards under the starlight. Like a shattered star, it bloomed with twinkling light.

She sat under the stars with a charming smile and put one hand on her chest and the other on Vito's belly. "Since I haven't slept yet, let's have another round. It's still a long night~"

Vito smiled and put his arms around Lilith's waistline on both sides, leaning on the quilt and looking at her with a wry smile, "I have to lead the expedition tomorrow, so don't go too far, okay?"

Lilith smiled, and Vito saw the purple halo on her body. The succubus's tail lifted up from behind her, and its small horns spread out together with the wings under the starlight. She lowered herself and leaned towards Vito. Trust.

"Don't even think about it."

So, this is going to be a long night.
