【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第十四章:阴影 Shadows(19)
Standing, I stared down at them for a few more moments before turning to the doors that had been forced open. From the look of it, the Sisters hadn’t had the opportunity to properly barricade the chapel so it hadn’t been blown open, the double-doors had just been forced in by Orkish muscle.
Striding over to the doors, past the Ork corpses which I studiously avoided the remains of, I put my shoulder to each of the heavy doors and closed them, lowered the large, heavy crossbar that might have preserved the Sisters long enough for me to reach them had they been able to set it, then turned to look over the Shrine.
“Why here?” I mused quietly. “Seeking the protection of your corpse Emperor? Much good it did you.”
I moved past all of the dead to the statue in the center of the shrine and looked it up and down.
It was a woman, much like the sisters, with its eyes cast down to look over the chapel itself, but it was wearing an older mark of armor than the others and gripping the shaft of a long spear with its tip thrust downward into what looked like a half-decent artistic representation of a chaos spawn.
