The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 487 Xie Yuan is surprised that Anderson is worried that Shepard is shocked

Anderson really doesn't know my background?Or are you trying to make trouble with my background?
Theoretically speaking, Colonel Anderson is a very pure soldier based on his resume, and has basically never interfered in politics... But would a person with no means climb up to the leadership of the special forces?
But for this matter, Xie Yuan really has nothing to do except report it to the Pan Asia Consulate.

It can only be said that unless Xie Yuan doesn't want to stay in the army now, otherwise in this system, he must submit to the management of the hierarchy.

Although the Star Alliance Navy has the title of the Star Alliance on its head, it is actually a force that is loyal to the United Earth Government. The Planetary Security Marine Corps that Xie Yuan belongs to is just one of them, and its status is far lower. In the Starfleet Navy.

What's more, Xie Yuan is only a second lieutenant now - the personnel transfer of the Star United Navy follows the American system, and the promotion of junior officers from second lieutenant to lieutenant adopts a "decentralized selection system", which is approved by the commander of the officer's unit.

And the supreme commander on Eden Prime has been crushed to death by Saren's dreadnought, and Xie Yuan himself is theoretically the supreme commander.

Then the dispatch must be arranged according to the administrative relationship of the main star of Eden, and the dispatch can only be arranged by the Star Alliance Navy.So Normandy, the only ship that came for reinforcements, became the only superior at this stage who had the right to mobilize Xie Yuan's work.

So there is nothing wrong with Anderson's dispatch, just like he transferred Ashley to the Normandy, it is reasonable.

But Xie Yuan was very numb, he didn't know whether it was good or bad to do so, what if there was a "White Tiger Festival Hall" incident?
But military orders cannot be tampered with, alas!
Xie Yuan could only pack everything up. Fortunately, with the help of Ada in the past six months, Xie Yuan transferred all the confidential and research materials in the basement to Ada, so there is only one workshop and one inorganic water tank left here. training room.

Looking at the belongings that took several years to accumulate, Xie Yuan took a nostalgic glance, then packed up all personal belongings and moved them to the storage box of the Normandy.

This place is about to be occupied by Corporal Jenkins. His work file has been transferred to the regional security force, and he has been promoted three ranks to become a second lieutenant.

I don't know if Jenkins is willing to work on Eden Prime, after all, it's really boring and exhausting.But it is estimated that judging from the sluggish look at the time of the handover, the impact of the Commando World War I will not fade away so quickly.

Xie Yuan could only let go of all distracting thoughts, and settled on the Normandy to perform his service mission.

……

The spaceship quickly took off and moved towards the direction of the mass repeater. Seeing the smaller and smaller Eden Prime, Xie Yuan was filled with emotion.

From 2181 to this year, I have been in this place for more than three years, and today I can finally go to the outside world legally.

But at this stage, he still has to behave well here. He is now particularly afraid of things like the White Tiger Festival Hall, so he has always been with the big army in action, never alone, and never with secrets. Cabins, such as the driver's cab, ICC area, and even the engine room, Xie Yuan didn't want to have any traces of his footsteps.

However, Xie Yuan didn't want to provoke anyone, but someone still wanted to take the initiative to find him.

It was Shepard.

……

After 15 hours of passing out at the beacon site, Shepard, who was lying on a medical bed and restored to normal clothes, finally opened his eyes.

Kayden, who was always by her side, was taking care of her, and then Dr. Jacobworth gave her a rehabilitation check.

Cayden and Jakovos also added that they explained what happened to Shepard. Although she was a little sorry to hear that Jenkins was forced to temporarily settle on Eden Prime, she also understood.

Then Colonel Anderson also came in, and he asked for a private conversation with Shepard, because Nerus was still unconscious on the next bed, and their conversation had to be transferred to the confidential room.

"To tell you the truth, Shepard, the situation is not optimistic."

Anderson changed his dignified and calm demeanor in the secret room, and became very depressed, "Nirus is in a deep coma, the beacon is gone, and the geth have started to invade again. The council definitely needs an explanation."

Shepard believed that he acted frankly, and that his actions were correct, and the task was roughly completed. The council should be able to accept this explanation.

Anderson also supports Shepard and her action report, but this incident is still trivial compared with what he has to say next.

"Saren is a ghost, and a living legendary agent." Anderson is concerned about Saren's presence and role in the raid, "but if he cooperates with the geth, it means he has betrayed the castle."

So Anderson is very afraid of Saren now: "The specter of rebellion is a big trouble, Saren is a dangerous element, he hates humans very much."

Shepard felt that regardless of his personal hatred of humans, he must have come to Eden Prime for the Beacon.

Anderson also supports this, so he hopes to get some information from Shepard: What exactly does Saren want from this beacon?
But this time Shepard answered unconfidently: "Just before I passed out, I saw some kind of vision."

"Phantom?" Anderson began to pace up and down. Although he felt strange, he still asked patiently, "What phantom?"

Suppressing the shame of being ridiculed, Shepard crossed his chest and thought for a while before confessing honestly: "I saw a mechanical creature, probably a geth, slaughtering creatures, slaughtering them."

As a result, Anderson seemed very serious: "We must report this matter to Parliament."

Shepard stared at Anderson with wide eyes, speechless, she thought Anderson was joking: "Oh, how should I tell them? I had a nightmare?"

But Anderson's expression was very serious, and he thought it was necessary: ​​"We don't know what information is in the beacon, the lost Prothean technology? Or the blueprint of some kind of weapon of mass destruction? No matter what it is, Saren will got him.

But I know Saren, I know him as a person, his politics, he thinks humans are a nuisance to the galaxy, and this attack is tantamount to a declaration of war! "

Anderson vented his worries as he paced: "Now he has the secret of the beacon and commands an army of geth. He won't stop until he wipes humanity from the galaxy!"

After receiving Anderson's concerns, Shepard stated that she would definitely bring Saren to justice.

But Anderson tells her it's not going to be easy - because as the number one ghost in the council, he can go anywhere without any hindrance.

So the only way is to rely on the help of the parliament. Anderson has contacted the human ambassador and asked to contact the Citadel to organize a hearing.

And Shepard's task is to organize materials to prove Saron's mutiny.

But just as Shepard was about to find the clown to drive Normandy to the port, Anderson stopped Shepard.

"After you and the clown have given the mission, go down to the cargo hold to appease Second Lieutenant Xie Yuan who was brought up with Sergeant Williams. I heard that he has been very nervous since boarding the ship."

"Oh?" Shepard showed an amused expression, "So this is his first time in Normandy, so he's so nervous? You should let him slow down for a while."

"Xie Yuan is a veteran who has served on the destroyer for five or six years. He cannot be nervous. I think he is afraid that I will do something to him that is not good for him."

Anderson explained helplessly.

"Then you will?" Shepard quickly understood what happened, and then asked Anderson half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Times have changed, our main contradiction should be to be consistent with the outside world, and strive to let human beings gain a more important position, instead of engaging in internal strife... Although this is not something that can be changed overnight, I definitely don't want to be involved in two interests The secret confrontation of the group, even though I should belong to the Star Alliance."

Anderson looked at Shepard with righteous words: "Because even if human beings are really in a catastrophe, I also hope that everyone will tide over the difficulties together instead of sacrificing one side to protect ourselves.

Fanya is also willing to think so. "

Anderson meant something, and Shepard suddenly sensed that the tone of his old boss was not right, so he asked tentatively, "Is there anything I need to know?"

"Do you know why I didn't laugh when you said that this mechanical creature slaughtered life?"

Anderson didn't hide from Shepard: "Because I, and some people who don't care about party disputes at the top of the Star Alliance military, have seen a similar animation."

"Animation?" Shepard raised his eyebrows, "What animation is this?"

"It's a 3D animation, but we don't focus on the plot when we watch the animation," Anderson tinkered with several functions in the confidential room, and soon a scene began to play on the big screen.

Shepard looked at the title of the movie above - "The Last Resistance of Prothean", and looked at Anderson strangely.

But Anderson didn't answer her, but continued to watch the screen, so Shepard could only bury the desire to complain and continue watching...

Then her eyes suddenly widened.

Because at this moment, a large number of giant dreadnoughts of the same color as Saren's, but of different sizes, and the smaller ground support ships are being surrounded by a group of four-eyed people with green skin and red armor holding a particle emitter. hinder progress.

Although the result was that it was crushed like a mantis arm blocking a car and failed, and then these dark gray giant ships spewed out giant red laser beams with claws and claws, and caused huge explosions everywhere.

And in Shepard's eyes, the image that entered into her consciousness when it was transmitted seemed to be getting clearer and clearer... She was about to understand what happened!
"Shepard!!" A sudden powerful cry made Shepard wake up from the scene, and she couldn't help but looked at her mentor Anderson who had just woken her up and complained: "I can almost see what happened It's over."

"Then your brain is completely overloaded! Look at your nose." Anderson immediately handed over a handkerchief, then looked at the frozen image on the screen and muttered, "Sure enough, this 3D animation is not groundless, it seems Burrus did learn something."

"What? Oh, my God!" Only then did Shepard realize that blood began to trickle out from under his nose. Fortunately, the flow was not much. Shepard immediately covered his nose with a handkerchief and raised his head to stop the bleeding.

Anderson, who loves his subordinates, immediately stopped Shepard's behavior after seeing the symptoms of nosebleeds. He doesn't want Ai to have any risks.

"How did you get this anime? Where did it come from?" Shepard asked, sniffing.

Anderson thought about the language for a while and then said: "This was secretly passed by someone from Fanya half a year ago with the instruction of their senior management, so that some of us can look at it and evaluate it.

As for Fanya... Fanya got this video a year ago, and the producer of the animation... is Xie Yuan. "

"This...Since we know...why..." Shepard was stunned. We, the upper echelon, already knew it, so why didn't we think of a way to do something?

"Well, because Fanya doesn't really want to believe this." Anderson showed a dumbfounding expression, "If there were no special circumstances, Fanya would not have given it to us so quickly."

"What?" Shepard didn't understand what Anderson meant.

"In the beginning, this was just a story that foreshadowed that after the organisms set foot on the interstellar civilization, they would be wiped out by the mechanical race in a certain period of time.

But Fanya's understanding is that we should try our best to pay attention to this situation when mechanical creatures start to rise, and we don't need to worry too much about other things, just be ourselves. "

Anderson explained to Shepard in detail: "Later, when Fanya received the news, Cerberus' reaction became more and more intense. It seemed that Fanya had no choice but to be serious when facing some kind of catastrophe. Looking forward to this video.

Then after careful study, I thought that this is a problem that all human beings need to face, so I quietly contacted us.

And we are obviously looking at this video as a fable, and what we are wary of is only Cerberus's strange actions.

As a result, thinking about today's incident, Cerberus knew a lot of things, and their plans were huge. "

"This... Cerberus also..." Shepard didn't expect that a small animation would be known by the three largest human forces at this stage.

Soon she thought of a question: "Since we know that Xie Yuan made this video, it's fine to bring him over and let him explain."

"The problem is, he won't go into detail about how he knew about it."

Anderson told Shepard something that made her unbelievable: "He once said to the Pan-Asian leader he is loyal to, that it is okay to ask him to do a suicide mission and die, and ask him to say that again. ,no way."

"Could it be... can't you be tough?" Shepard didn't think that how could two giant forces have nothing to do with one person?
"After all, this is not treating the enemy. Some methods cannot be used. Using them will only aggravate his rebellious psychology. The key is that Xie Yuan is not an ordinary person."

Anderson said to Shepard with a solemn expression: "On the Eden main star, dozens of spies from the Star Federation and Cerberus secretly sent disappeared. From the moment they stepped into the Eden main star, they Disconnected.

He also secretly sent a message to this side: If you have the guts, target him more, he will always come, if you dare to take action against his family, don't blame him for going crazy.

A few days later, all the spies from the Star Federation returned to Arcturus headquarters in a dazed manner, and asked how they disappeared, but they couldn't remember them all, so we stopped the operation quickly, and I guess Cerberus did the same I'm a little scared.

Therefore, apart from destroying the main star of Eden, conventional means have no effect on him at all. "

"Are you sure... you're not talking about a superman?" Shepard looked at him in disbelief. At this moment, she finally understood why Kaiden was afraid of Xie Yuan.

"I don't know if he's a superman, but he's not a simple guy anyway, that's my perception."

Anderson then revealed his real intention of taking him out of Eden Prime: "The psychological profile shows that he seems to have a soft spot for staying in the system, so I want to treat him as a soldier on duty and see what he hears." Not following orders."

"What if he doesn't listen?" Hearing that Xie Yuan was such a dangerous person, Shepard was suddenly a little worried... She would never admit that she was afraid, she was not!

"That's another story, but I really hope that if the catastrophe is really on the horizon, he will be a help rather than a hindrance."

Anderson confided his heart to his right-hand man: "This is also Pan-Asia's Ban Qian's hope. It would be a pity if this powerful assistant spends his whole life hiding on the main star of Eden to fish. I hope we can bring him along."

"You really caused me a lot of trouble! Anderson." Shepard looked at his mentor a little depressed.

But Anderson just smiled, and then left to work on his own affairs. After all, isn't it only natural to leave trivial matters to capable people, and to take care of more important projects by himself?
On the other hand, Shepard took a deep breath for a long time before suppressing the brainwashing of a lot of information just now, and after grasping the useful information, Shepard began to do what needed to be done.

……

And here Xie Yuan is maintaining the knife, that is, the Taidao seized from the Chosen Assassin. To take care of this special alien metal knife requires applying a special mineral oil.

Then wipe the blade with imitation buckskin to achieve the effect of daily maintenance of the blade.

In fact, this Tai knife does not need too meticulous maintenance, because the blade contains spiritual energy, it will continuously absorb nearby metal particles to surround the knife body to achieve the effect of self-maintenance.

I wiped the knife here just to make my behavior a little more casual, so as not to be too nervous and cause the people on the boat to be nervous.

As a result, footsteps suddenly came from behind. When I listened carefully, it was a woman with heavy and powerful steps, and then resumed wiping.

Because it was Shepard who came.

Although she appeared behind her and said the first sentence softly, she was stunned:
"If you are afraid that you will be murdered if you stay on the boat, why don't you ask Anderson to let you go back immediately?"
