Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 191 Part of the truth

"Don't even think about getting away with it!" The nun leaned in close, her nose almost touching Howard's. She stared into Howard's eyes and asked word by word, "Who are you?! How did you end up here?! What's your purpose here?! What caused the death of these orcs?! Is there anyone else with you?! Tell me everything clearly!"

Dealing with the Riddler is like dealing with the devil. Just don't get fooled by him.

No matter what rhetoric the other party uses or how they try to beat around the bush, you must keep a clear head, remember your original questions and demands, don't be led by the other party, and never give up until you achieve your goal.

"I believe you have already noticed that before the official empire troops fought against the orcs, a fierce battle had already broken out here, and the one fighting those orcs here was me." Howard continued to answer. He did not forget that he had previously planned to tell the nun part of the truth to see how she would react afterwards, and the nonsense he said about his identity and background was obviously not among the "partial truth".

"you?!"

Gloria thought she was used to seeing stupid things, but the absurd words coming out of this mortal still made her want to laugh. Just this mortal? Just this mortal who she could easily defeat with one hand? Fighting these orcs who were giving this planet's imperial army a headache?

"We." Howard continued to add.

"The ones fighting those orcs were me and a gray... Astartes. The Astartes' name was Kaldor Drago. The shell you found earlier came from the hand cannon on Drago's armor. If you trace the source of the firing based on the shell's model, you should eventually find a Terminator power armor of an unknown model. If you trace this name, you might only end up with a top-secret file that you are absolutely not qualified to access." Howard said, "Of course, it's more likely that you will find nothing, and then one ordinary night, you will disappear from the world because of your attempt to trace the source of this shell."

"Are you threatening me?" the nun asked.

"I'm only fulfilling my duty of persuasion. I'll only tell you this once. If you insist on investigating later, I won't stop you," Howard said. "But before you're executed, you can reveal my name. Of course, this won't save your life, but it will at least allow me to reconnect with the mysterious organization hidden deep within the empire."

"Then why are you alone now?! Where is the Astartes?! And why did these orcs die here?"

"Sister Gloria, you've been impatiently asking me several questions since a while ago. I've answered everything I could and shown my sincerity. Now, is it your turn to show your sincerity?"

"I'm being sincere enough by not tearing your head off directly," Gloria replied.

However, despite saying this, Gloria still got up from Howard. Howard's lungs and abdominal cavity, which had been under pressure, finally relaxed, but he still felt pain when he inhaled, so he didn't dare to breathe heavily.

Gloria let go of this mortal because she did not feel any threat from him. This might be because the person under her was just a pure mortal. If that was the case, then letting him go would not be a big deal.

But there is also a possibility, that is, this person is very strong, so strong that it is beyond her perception, but if this is the case, it makes no difference whether she suppresses him or not.

Gloria let go of Howard and stood up straight. She cast a scrutinizing and suspicious look at him from top to bottom and said, "Mortal, now, continue to answer my questions."

"I think you broke my ribs just now. It hurts so much now. I can't stand up." Howard bared his teeth and reached out his hand to the nun, "I want you to pull me up."

This was a very clumsy lie. Not to mention that based on the self-healing ability Howard had just demonstrated, it was hard to say how long a minor injury like a bone fracture could last in his body, not to mention that his expression didn't change at all when Gloria cut off two of his fingers.

But Gloria still pulled Howard up. How could she not see this? But for the sake of more information, what was the big deal about pulling this mortal's hand?

Children can be taught.

Howard said in his heart.

Originally, based on the nun's previous series of violent and crazy reactions, Howard almost screened her out, but after realizing that he seemed to really know some inside information, the nun was willing to change her attitude towards him in exchange for more information.

Including the lie he told about the lame excuse he used to get the nun to help him stand up.

He knew he was lying, and he knew the nun knew he was lying, and even the nun knew Howard knew he knew Howard was lying.

This is the same scam method used in Howard's original world. Many scammers come up with stupid rhetoric. In fact, scammers are not stupid. They are using this method to screen targets. If you feel that the other party is insulting your IQ after hearing the scammer's words, it means that you have been listed as a difficult target by the scammer, and you have been screened out from then on.

So originally in Howard's world, those scammers were only targeting someone with whom they were destined to be.

This time, Howard also used a cheap trick, but it was not for screening, but for testing.

He was testing the nun's willingness to compromise for the sake of his intelligence.

Howard was very satisfied with the nun's performance, so he decided to reveal more truth.

"My name is Howard. Drago is my partner and my protector." Howard said, "Because of my special physique that suppresses psychic energy, I was hunted by demons in the warp. The demons dragged me into the warp, and later I was rescued by Drago. Since then, Drago has been protecting me. We finally escaped back to the real universe, but were surrounded by orcs. What's worse is that before we can break free, the demons invaded the real universe."

"Drago was fighting the orcs and demons at the same time, but the rare good news was that the orcs also fought the demons that were chasing me. In the end, the demon leader had no choice but to have a decisive battle with Drago. The spells and psychic powers between the two of them were so fierce that the sky was dark. Then, they released the most powerful spell at the same time, and then a burst of strong light knocked me unconscious. When I woke up again, both the Astartes and the demons were gone, and the orcs everywhere were all dead." Howard continued to make up stories.

"How do you prove it?" Gloria asked.

In fact, when Gloria asked this question, she didn't expect Howard to be able to give a proof, but she didn't expect that after hearing her question, Howard actually answered "Yes!"

Then, Howard began to guide Gloria through the area, and finally stopped at the edge of a circular sand area with a radius of nearly 100 meters that was not occupied by orc spores.

"This is the proof!" Howard said to Gloria, pointing ahead.

And where Howard pointed, lay the remains of a Nurgle fly.
