This is an escape route that only supernatural beings can use.

Commander Cerberus obviously knew this too, but she didn't care.She supported the kinetic energy shields for her companions, and at the same time, she held the gun with one hand to output the opponent's kinetic energy shields.The kinetic energy shield of the Asari is obviously weaker than that of Commander Cerberus, and the firepower of the pickaxe is far stronger than that of the pistol, which puts the Asari under great pressure. She groped and retreated, cautiously One step, one step...

then.

The glass on the back suddenly shattered, and a bullet struck from behind, opening a big hole in the glass, passing the Azali's arm and hitting the floor.

"Crack"

The first sniper pulled the trigger, exposing the internal heat sink to the air, and the hot air was blown away by the strong wind a thousand meters above the ground before it formed.The second sniper pulled the trigger as soon as he saw the glass shatter.Half a second later, the bullet hit the cheek of the Ashali who turned around.She took a step back, raised her hand tremblingly to touch her face, and then the kinetic energy barrier disappeared, and the pistol slipped from her unconscious fingers.

Asari's knees softened and she knelt on the ground, and she slapped her face down on the floor as if being embraced by 45.There was no big hole in her face due to the impact of the bullet, there was only a small, pinhole-like injury left there - that was the mark left by the tranquilizer bomb.

That's the heart of the raid.The Ashali race is quite troublesome. Their natural powerful abilities allow them to become powerful fighters with a little training. It is even more difficult to use tranquilizer bombs to penetrate her kinetic energy barrier.Therefore, the first thing to do is to kill all her bodyguards, let her stand alone, force her into the predetermined sniper position, and then force her to place the kinetic energy barrier in front to protect herself through uninterrupted shooting.

Then two snipers, one broke the window and the other sniped with a narcotic bomb, so that a complete 'observer' could be obtained.

"The target fell to the ground! Clean up the scene immediately and delete the surveillance video!" Commander Cerberus stepped forward, handcuffed the 'observer' hands and feet, and then bent her feet behind and handcuffed them behind her back. Put your hands together, connect the interface between the two handcuffs - this is really ugly, and this kind of picture often appears in various pictures that cannot be given to Asari who are about 10 years old or humans who are not yet full. Small book, but it's really hard to catch a battle-trained asari without this "Clip two will be here in [-] minutes, we can't risk fighting a bunch of asari!"

It would be a different matter if it was in another place, but this is Ilim, and the police officers are [-]% supernatural beings.Combatting Azali soldiers at close range without a vehicle is a very dangerous thing, even Cerberus' elite special forces cannot take this risk.Now that the target has been obtained, the only thing to do is to retreat quickly without leaving a trace.

To be precise, it means leaving no trace of yourself.

"Draw the eclipse mercenary logo on the wall, shoot a few 'harpoons' in the hallway, and pick a few consoles with the 'blood bag' punisher submachine gun - those krogan and wocha Love it. Evacuate the rooftop in 5 minutes."

"learn!"

Watching his subordinates busy with the rest, the commander took off his helmet - she had a straight face and shoulder-length black hair slightly curly, she looked like the kind of woman who would join the cheerleading team in high school.Her face was still stained with sweat from the fierce battle, showing the expression after finishing a complicated job:

"Contact Integration, they have intelligence over here. Tell them we've got the man behind the previous ambassador attack."

A special forces member said, with a complaining tone in his words:

"Now all our dark lines here are exposed, and the Shadow Broker will never let it go..."

This operation used the entire intelligence system of Ilium. In order to avoid the retaliation and secrecy of the Shadow Brokers, these people must withdraw immediately—that is to say, in the next few years, Cerberus’ intelligence on Ilium control may approach zero.

The commander was unmoved, she said:

"The Phantom Man thinks it's worth it."

"...but will CONCORD really listen to us? We don't have a good reputation."

This is what worries her most now.

Cerberus is regarded as a terrorist organization in the Starfield of the Citadel. Although there are many supporters within the Star Alliance, they are generally hostile.It is obvious that the Ministry of Consolidation has been influenced by the Citadel. If they really regard Cerberus as a terrorist, then it will be difficult to negotiate with them.The commander glanced at the Ashali who was tied to the ground in a strange posture, showing a subtle expression.

The Shadow Brokers chose to launch an attack on the Concord ambassador at the Citadel—for reasons that are unclear, but the Illusive Man saw this as an opportunity.The furious Consolidation Department would obviously want someone to find the real culprit for them, so take the agent of the Shadow Broker as a gift and send it to them with a ribbon, and they should choose to have a dialogue with Cerberus.

For this reason, even if Ilim's intelligence system is completely cut off, the most elite agents must take this opportunity at great risk.But if the other party still refuses to communicate after paying such a high price, it will be a big loss.

She sighed, turned around, and saw a person lifting the observer from the ground, holding a long stick in his hand, and stretching it through the fixing ring of the handcuffs, lifting the observer like luggage Carrying it on the back - it looks like the one in "Journey to the West".

"We will accept the observer, let's listen to what you have to say."

The commander was taken aback. She subconsciously pulled out her pistol and realized that she had seen this man before. Half a second later, she remembered it, and then she froze in place.

This is the Legion Commander of the Consolidation Department, the guy who almost hacked Saron to death on Star Eden, and dismantled the Reaper fleet at the 'Absurd' repeater.This person is not a serious person. Judging from the current information, the first thing she asked after she arrived at the Citadel was the nightclub. After [-] yuan, I went through the portal and made a lot of purchases at the souvenir shop of the God's Castle... There is no normal place from sexual fetishes to ways of thinking.

But what you do is very serious...if you don't look at the method.

And now, she suddenly appeared in this place, what does this mean?It means that just now, the head of the Oregana Legion must rely on some kind of advanced invisibility technology, and has been watching behind... That's right, no matter how fierce the gunshots are, just watch from behind, and you are not afraid of being shot by bullets because of invisibility. accidentally injured.

If you play like this, you will die sooner or later.

She came here for the observer too?What is the extent of their intelligence?Why did you choose this time?Just to catch observers?Or because of Cerberus?

For a while, the commander didn't know what to say, and a Cerberus soldier next to him was taken aback and raised his gun in a hurry, but before he could raise his arm halfway, he was shot by a Lu who suddenly appeared beside him. The soldiers pressed down.

"?!?!?!?"

"Put the gun down, calm down. We haven't figured it out yet. Let's catch an observer, why did we meet someone from Cerberus?" She led the observer to the direction of the elevator shaft, and saw a special soldier The team member just painted the logo of the Celestial Eclipse Mercenary Group, took the spray paint in the hands of the special forces team member and drew a god mark on the wall, and then threw the jar back to the dumbfounded special forces member's hand "and it sounds like Our intelligence system has been discovered? Good job, this is their first mistake."

"This is because... because..."

Oregana turned her head and looked at the 'cheerleader' commander with a tangled face, as if his tongue was stuck and he didn't know how to move:

"Tell us about it in detail. Let's start with self-introduction."

The commander calmed down, and she said:

"I'm Miranda Rosen, an agent of Cerberus. The Phantom Man wants to use this..." Miranda pointed to the blue-faced alien on Oregana's back and said, "As a gift, come Please give us a chance to discuss the future of the galaxy together."

Chapter 1211 Chapter 229: The phantom man and the phantom-like swaying fate

Seventy AU from Ilium, the Cerberus cruiser Elbrus.

In terms of appearance, this warship is a standard Star Alliance style, but judging from the energy response scanned by the Very Leopard, the power furnace output and heat dissipation system of this battleship are better than Star Alliance warships of the same level.This may be because Cerberus is good at using new technology, and also good at 'discovering' and integrating the technology of other races.

Some people may think, how can such an organization have better technology than the Star Alliance, but in fact... Cerberus is not an isolated organization, its influence is hidden and far-reaching, it can not only get the Star Alliance The latest technology has even promoted the development of the starships of the Star Alliance.

For example, it was Cerberus who initially promoted and funded the construction of the Normandy by the Star Alliance and the Turian, and thus humans also came into contact with Turian technology and battleship design ideas.After the design was completed, the blueprint of the Normandy naturally fell into the hands of the Phantom Man. He was able to contact thousands of suppliers who provided parts, and he had his own dock in the distant Voyager star cluster, and even more than one. Russ was able to build a second Normandy, and had two types of dreadnoughts he researched on his own, a battlecruiser (700-meter class) between a dreadnought and a cruiser, at least two types of cruisers (600-meter class), three There are 200-meter-class frigates, kilometer-class 'Titan'-type aircraft carriers and support ships.

This kind of thing is honestly terrible... Civilian military intelligence organizations have more technology than the official, which means that they can do whatever they want, just like that amalgam, they can do whatever they want, and there is no righteous hero Mithril in this world .

Oregana walked through a corridor that was much more spacious than that of a Starlink battleship, and looked around curiously. According to Cerberus' habit, there should be a captain's room above the hull with a fish tank and a model stand—then It is definitely not designed for Shepard's interest, because if it is based on Shepard's interest, although there is a model frame inside, there must be no fish tank, so I can only guess that it is a standard part, and it is extended to speculate that Cerberus' ship More than half of the captains and reserve captains must be either jerks or like fishing.

"This way, please."

Miranda Rosen led Oregana into the communication room and stepped aside.

Oregana just sat down on the chair in front of her, and after making a posture that would appear on the Godfather Italy, she took out a stick from her pocket and lit it.She exhaled slightly, adjusted her mentality to a fighting state, and her green eyes lit up a little red.

The light in front of him dimmed, and a projection lit up in the center of the communication room, emitting a faint light in the dim room.He was a man of great poise and full of confidence.He sits in a chair like a godfather, with short silver-gray hair and a spotless Cerberus-style black suit, with a lighted cigar in his hand-it is worth mentioning that the eyes of this man It's blue, not the color of the pupils, but a faint blue light, as if a psyker is using psychic power.

This seemingly easy-going, sassy and charming billionaire is Cerberus' boss, 'The Phantom Man'.The original phantom man is a good man with a sense of responsibility. The change of his character stems from the failure of human beings in the first contact war. Any alien except the asari on the bed.

(Even though he is getting old, Phantom Man still has a good waist)

In the past few decades, the Phantom Man has single-handedly established the huge empire of Cerberus, and the aura he displayed in front of Oregana is worthy of his identity.

only……

The postures of the two sides seemed to be carved out of the same mold, the smoke in the hands and the glow of the eyes were the same... This coincidence made both sides who had made various preparations a little uncomfortable.

However, Oregana's face is strong enough to withstand the close-range direct fire of the creeper pistol, and she quickly adjusted:

"Phantom Man." She gently stretched out her left hand to signal, "Here we come, your gift is very nice, is there anything you want to talk to us about?"

The Phantom Man sat up straight and concentrated:

[I'm glad you like me, let's start talking about business. 】He put the burning cigar on the ashtray at hand and put it on the ashtray 【It’s a pity to say that the first person to realize the threat of the reaper was a person from another world... However, I am afraid that it is precisely because he is from a different world that he can Respond quickly. 】

Oregana heard the implication of his words:

"Is that why you called us here to talk?"

[No, I have evidence of the collusion between the Shadow Broker and the Collector, which can explain why the ambassador of the Ministry of Consolidation was assassinated—if that can be called an assassination.But we don't know the specific purpose of the collectors. They may have taken a fancy to the genetic information of people from other worlds... This may be the biggest challenge the reapers have faced since they started harvesting reincarnation. 】

"You know it very well." Oregana raised her eyebrows. "There are still many people who refuse to believe in the existence of reincarnation."

She felt that the phantom man was still going around in circles, and he hadn't found the point of what he said. He mentioned that he had evidence of collusion between the Shadow Broker and the Reaper forces, but he immediately pulled the topic away.This shows that what he mainly wants to talk about is not just about the Shadow Broker...even, the Shadow Broker is just to draw out his true intentions.

So Oregana followed him around - this is much more difficult than playing Mass Effect, after all, this is not "My Brain ○ Options", there will be no options in front of my eyes... the disc-shaped options of Mass Effect No, let alone the blue "Magic Mantra" that will surely have a good result if you choose it.But I have an advantage. The phantom man wants to demand something from himself. There is no doubt about this, and I must grasp it well.

【We are different from that kind of people.The foundation of Cerberus is intelligence. We collect it, analyze it, and decide what to do next. ] He changed the subject [However, the emergence of the Integration Department has exceeded the scope of the previous framework...]

"Frame? Do you mean the Citadel?"

Displeasure appeared on the phantom man's face, but this emotion was not directed at himself. His negative emotions were not so much directed toward a specific goal, but rather aimed at the entire world:

【The universe looks warm, warm, full of spirit of exploration, full of knowledge and wealth.But...] He paused, and unconsciously took the cigarette in his hand 【Humans are not welcome, the dark age has come, and humans must face the challenge. 】

"You mean the Reaper? Or the Citadel?"

This is different from the phantom man in my impression.

In the original work, the phantom man strategizes, his thoughts are firm, and he is never confused.He knew what to do and what to guard against, and the trolley problem never troubled this man—because he was not afraid of any sacrifices in order to achieve his goals.

It is not necessary for him, and it is impossible for him to speak with such a heartfelt attitude to someone he met for the first time.And this person is still a person from another world, and the relationship between a person from another world and humans is farther than that of aliens-even if it looks similar, it is impossible for the phantom man not to think of this.

But he still went on:

[I mean—everything, not only the Citadel and the Reapers, but also the batarians, those pirates, any challenge that threatens the existence of human beings.In order to succeed, I will do any possible cruel things. I turned into a beast to defend human beings from powerful enemies. I have never regretted it.But I sometimes get scared, afraid that I'm doing useless work. 】

[I sacrificed many, many people... a lot, in order to increase the number of human beings with supernatural powers, I soaked several colonies in zero dust; in order to guide mankind on the right path, I assassinated the pope, the party leader, and even the president; I also threw children and bought slaves into laboratories. ] The man showed a sneer [If hell exists, then I will definitely go to hell after I die, but I never hesitate - because it is worth it.But I will still be afraid, and I will be afraid that everything I do will fail. 】

"..."

[Look, human beings are still a mess, listening to and believing in the dream that God's Citadel built for them.While thinking about whether he would be able to stand on the same level as the Turians if he paid something, and if he gave something more; if he just backed down and maintained goodwill, the aliens would regard humans as respectable allies—how stupid! 】He hammered the armrest hard 【But you are different, the Ministry of Consolidation showed me something different. 】

Oregana can understand his thoughts—this is a dangerous person, his way of thinking and acting style are incompatible with her, but she can still figure out the core of it.He is a human supremacist racist, but the reason for all this is the unfair treatment of the Star Federation and humans in this world, because the Star Federation is weak and wants to control everything.He knew that what he did was immoral and would be condemned by his conscience, but he forcibly crossed over with a firm attitude of an idealist, and maintained a rational cruelty to face all these for decades.

That's why some people commented that the Phantom Man combines the best and worst qualities in one person's body at the same time.

Meow, even half an hour later, it wouldn't be surprising that Tzeentch was found in his house. Well, this kind of guy is like corn, and it's super easy for Lan Goo to notice... (covering face)

Oregana swallowed a mouthful of saliva:

"Consolidation? We thought you hated aliens."

The phantom man shook his head lightly:

【What I hate is not aliens, but aliens who don't give human beings a proper status.The emails I posted after First Contact War were the purpose of my actions - to give humanity the place it deserves. 】He said 【We want to survive, survive decently, is this too much?The aliens in this current universe are either hindrances or drags, don't you think so?When Saren rebelled, shouldn't they be responsible?But what happened?They are not even willing to send troops to help protect the human colony that has joined the Citadel of God!If they take their word for it, it's not Concord's army that's protecting the colony now, but the Citadel's. 】

"I understand, you want the Ministry of Consolidation to change all of this?" Oregana showed a clear expression, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
