第1章 涅槃

Nirvana

What? Fourteen-hour days, for the Emperor?

What? The bodies will be recycled as food, for the Emperor?

The boy continued to read the pamphlet distributed by the Hive Priest.

Dedication is necessary, sacrifice is redemption!

Humanity must make sacrifices to achieve the great ideal of conquering the galaxy. Only by conquering the entire galaxy can humanity survive from the multitude of enemies.

The Emperor is the father of twenty angels, and also your father. He will lead you on a glorious expedition to the entire galaxy! !

“Thank you for your advice!” The boy’s pupils trembled.

However, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity and cautiously asked the inhuman, ghostly thing in front of him, "Emperor? Is that the light in the sky?"

The priest's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his body suddenly stood at attention. He grabbed the boy's shoulder with one modified hand stained with motor oil, and with the other hand, he held the scepter and pointed at the string of small, almost invisible words in the lower right corner of the booklet in front of the boy - Please note, the Inquisition is offering a reward to anyone who can see "light" from the sky. If there are such people around you, whether they are your parents, children or neighbors, please report them. The Emperor of God will thank you for your loyalty!

The boy's heart skipped a beat.

"Wait, why are you arresting me? I don't know anything! What? I can also go to Terra and contribute my strength? Ignite myself and become a Star Torch? What is a Star Torch? I don't want to die, you can't do this! I am innocent!"

什么？每天工作十四小时，为了帝皇？
什么？尸体会被做成食物循环利用，为了帝皇？
少年继续阅读着巢都神甫发放的宣传小册。
奉献是必要的，牺牲是救赎！
人类必须用牺牲完成征服银河的伟大理想，只有征服了全银河，人类才能从群敌环伺中生存下来。
帝皇是二十个天使的父亲，也是你的父亲，他将会带领你向整个银河发起荣耀远征！！
卧槽，“谢教”！少年的瞳孔震了一下。
不过他依然抑制不住心里的好奇，小心翼翼地向面前不人不鬼的东西问道：“帝皇？是天空的那束光吗？”
神甫的眼神突然锐利了起来，身形突然立正，他用一只沾满机油的改造手抓住了少年的肩膀，而另一只手则是拿着权杖点了点少年面前小册右下角那一串小到几乎看不清的小字——请注意，审判庭正大肆悬赏能从天空中看见“光”的人，如果你身边有这样的人，无论他是你的父母儿女还是邻居，请举报他们，神皇会感谢你的忠诚！
少年心脏咯噔了一下。
“等等，你们抓我干什么？我什么都不知道啊！什么，我也能去泰拉贡献我的力量？点燃自己，成为星炬？什么是星炬？我不想死，你们不能这样做！我冤枉啊！”
