Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 518 Rejection of Proposal

The appearance of this mysterious girl instantly made everyone in the room nervous.

They were talking here, and of course there were people on guard outside. These people were all reliable people arranged by Constance himself. They were definitely not useless people who could only flatter. Constance even determined the secret codes for dealing with various situations. For example, if an ordinary staff member arrived, a whistle would be blown; if law enforcement officers arrived, the toilet in the room on the upper floor would flush; if Howard came, someone next door would smash cups, and so on.

However, at this moment, the strange girl appeared in front of the door without triggering any alarm.

The door was suddenly opened by the man with a mustache, and the girl seemed a little surprised because she was raising her hand as if to knock on the door.

After seeing the girl, the man with a mustache turned around to look at the people in the room, then turned his face away, lowered his head, and hurried away.

He has decided not to get involved in what happens next, so whatever happens next has nothing to do with him. If the girl is a law enforcement officer who discovered their plan and came to stop it, she will not let him leave. If he successfully leaves, it will prove that the girl is not a law enforcement officer, and then he will be fine.

The girl watched the mustache man leave, then walked into Constance's room, not forgetting to close the door.

"Who are you?! What are you doing here?!" asked one of the people attending the meeting. He was highly alert and reached into his clothes, where he obviously hid a weapon.

Hai Wei'an walked calmly in front of everyone, stood properly and said, "I am here because of a promise I made to someone."

Constance immediately guessed who Hai Wei'an was talking about: "Howard?"

"Yes," Hai Wei'an replied, "Because of his request, I am here to tell you everything. So before everything begins, let me answer this gentleman's first question: who am I?"

After saying that, green information streams began to appear on the girl's body and the surface of the furry falcon. Both of their bodies seemed to be burning in flames. When the flames went out, the emperor of the dynasty and his pet appeared in front of everyone in their original posture.

"Alien!"

The others screamed, but Constance saw more.

"It's you!" Constance recognized Horus, who had turned off his disguise, on Hevian's shoulder. "It was your pet that appeared and those mechanical monsters left."

"That's right," Hai Wei'an replied. "But those weren't mechanical monsters, but my subjects. The attack was carried out by some restless members of my people. If I've hurt you, please accept my apology. I can guarantee that this won't happen again."

Hai Wei's politeness and gentle tone made the others relax a little. They no longer looked ready to fight at any time like they did after Hai Wei's true identity was revealed.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am the Emperor of the Mechanical Immortal Dynasty, Lorosa. I know you may not understand me right now, but you can think of me as the king of a powerful kingdom." Haiweiyan said, "My name is Haiweiyan. Out of courtesy, you should add the title "Your Majesty" after my name."

Everyone agreed, so Hai Wei'an continued her explanation. She took out a small floating ball, which floated above the table with the map and projected the image of a planet.

"You are my property. This planet is Second Terra, the place I have prepared for you to live," Hevian said. "Second Terra's resources are superior to most of the Empire's garden worlds, and with our protection, you don't have to worry about foreign invasions or devastating natural disasters. According to our calculations, living on Second Terra will extend your life expectancy by at least 40 percent."

But Hai Wei'an's explanation did not impress anyone. After listening to it, Constance just asked coldly:

"What's the price?"

"The price is that once your offspring reach a certain number, we will screen them. If the individuals we want are not born, we will cleanse the entire planet. All life will be annihilated, and their souls will be shattered. However, we will do our best to ensure that the harvesting process does not cause any additional pain."

There was an uproar in the room. Although the souls of most ordinary people in the Empire would be obliterated by the waves of the Warp after death, and their ending would be no different from being reduced to ashes, the state religion still preached that the souls of loyal people would return to the Golden Throne after death and enjoy eternal peace and glory. Therefore, soul annihilation was still a very scary ending for those who did not know the truth.

"What do you want? What do you want to filter out?" Constance demanded, and after a few seconds, she added, "Your Majesty Hevian?"

"You don't need to know this," Hai Wei'an said. Then she cleared her throat and said dignifiedly, "I am only keeping my promise and telling you what you must know. I am also giving you two choices."

"Accept it, or die," Constance said.

"Why do you have such a horrible idea?" Hai Wei'an's eyes widened slightly, as if she had heard something incredible.

"Why? Isn't it?"

"The choice I offer you is to accept or reject it." Hai Wei'an shook her head and said, "I have no intention of hurting you."

"What would happen if I chose to refuse?" Constance asked.

"I will erase your memory and remove you from the list. You will no longer remember talking to me," Hevian replied. "Next, you will be handed over to the Helvene Family. They won't harm you without reason. Your most likely outcome will be a brief training session and becoming an ordinary crew member of the Helvene Family fleet, or a worker in a surface factory."

Then Hevian looked at the others and said, "You are all like this."

“What if we accept it?” someone asked.

"For ordinary people, we will also clear their memories, then implant a self-consistent memory, and then send them to live on Second Terra. But for you, it's different." Hevian's mechanical pupils scanned every human in the room:

"I've reviewed your information. You are all outstanding individuals, possessing leadership abilities and a rebellious spirit. I will preserve your memories and support you, so that you will become one of the few humans on Second Terra who know the truth. We will help you gain dominance in the new order. In return, you will need to help us maintain the stability of Second Terra, as not all events are suitable for us to personally intervene in."

Constance: "I refuse."
