——AD.2157.4.18——

While Connor didn't have much information to gain from the document, which he didn't know if it was a diary or an essay, some key information was clear.

These ruins were used by a civilization to observe the various creatures on the Halo.

Observers were not allowed to come into contact with animals.

These animals may "evolve suddenly", and in addition to their own form, there is also a level of population civilization.

Once these creatures become sapient, a device will activate, destroying all living beings within 2.4 light-years.

"[Strange, they have gone to great lengths to build a 'zoo' of this magnitude here, and yet they want to wipe out all species just because one creature has intelligence? The reason? "Bass is very puzzling.

"No, what's even stranger is that if you destroy it once as long as you have evolved intelligence, then why are there so many creatures on the aura at this time? Do I have to refill it every time I destroy it? Connor couldn't figure it out either.

"[I think it's 'Godfromthemachine,' Commander. EDI replied.

"Huh?" Illogical alien forces in drama'? It has nothing to do with what is going on here, right? Connor remembered the meaning of the word almost immediately.

"[No, Commander, here it means some kind of speculation about the history of the Earth after the discovery of the ruins of Mars,] Itty paused: "[It refers to 'after a specific disaster causes the extinction of all life on the planet, a certain being is responsible for restoring the planet's ecology to a specific point in time', and it is generally guessed that this act is completed by a pre-programmed machine, and this act is equivalent to the creation of the world, so it is called 'mechanical séance'." 】”

"But it's not the same thing here at all, is there something wrong with that machine, first 'mechanical annihilation' and then 'mechanical séance', and the cycle repeats? What's the point? Connor thought as she looked at the slate that no longer showed the text.

"Wang~[If you think about it in combination with the reason for those aliens to launch a surprise attack on us, I have a bad guess......]" Bass's tail wagged.

“…… If the criterion for these aura-clearing creatures is 'there are creatures on the surface that have evolved intelligence', then in the eyes of the judgment process, are we, the 'extraterrestrial visitors', considered 'evolving intelligence'? Connor answered.

"Wow~[Given the existence of the observatory, the sporadic intelligent creatures should not be enough to activate the clearance procedure, but after our mass landing, ......]" Buzz hesitated and couldn't be sure.

"[The probability of its activation is 87.3%]" EDI poured cold water directly: "[Those aliens did not communicate with each other at all when they chased us, just to avoid one of the judgments of intelligence: whether they have words or not. 】”

"Great, we're dealing with the aliens now, and we'll have to find a way to find the main control room of this aura and close the expected removal procedure," Connor shrugged, "Three seconds of silence for the 'Master Chief' hairline." ”

"Whew! [But the question now is, where is the main body of that thing?] How do I turn it off? 】”

"I'll only have to find a few more Observer Ruins, hopefully it's still too late."

Da-da-da-da!

Connor and Buzz had just stepped out of the observation facility when they were greeted by a string of bullets that sent Connor's Mass Effect shield flickering, and she quickly rolled behind a large rock in front of the door.

"[Commander, there are five enemies in total, and they are not carrying heavy weapons]." EDI reported immediately.

Da Da Da - Snort -

The Mass Effect firearm's web of fire rattled the other side of the large rock.

Damn, careless, Connor was covertly observing the enemy's movements, since these "ruins" had existed for a long time, of course those aliens also knew their specific locations, so they must have been monitored, but I was afraid that these aliens were already rushing to this side at the same time as they entered.

"Wang! [We are surrounded~]" Bass's voice was full of emotions of eating melons and watching a play.

"[No, they're surrounded,]" Connor retorted, calculating how often the gun on the other side overheated, and suddenly jumped out from behind the rock, causing the aliens who were shooting to be slightly stunned.

Obviously, these aliens have normal tactical literacy, a target suppressed by the alternate fire net, should not charge head-on anyway, is it not fast enough?

But even if they were stunned, it was only for a moment, and they continued to fire without hesitation with the guns in their hands.

Po po, bang!

Under the dense firepower, Connor's mass effect shield shattered like an eggshell in less than two seconds.

However, before these aliens could smile, they directly grew their mouths.

Buzz –

Naturally, Mass Effect shields, which take 5 to 7 seconds to recharge, regenerate as soon as they shatter, blocking their final strafing without any pressure.

Of course, it was the last round, and Connor had already calculated the overheating time of this alien firearm from the gap between their alternate firepower, and her sudden rush out directly made the aliens who were supposed to cease fire and wait for the cooldown to help their companions break her shield, but the guns in their hands were completely overheated and unusable, and the full force of the other people who had cooled down still failed to break the newborn's shield, and they also fell into an overheating state.

As for the newborn shield, of course, it is not Connor who carries two Mass Effect shield generators, they will interfere with each other, the reason is that Connor as a android comes with a Mass Effect Core, and it is no problem to temporarily switch the energy supply, after all, she can move for 30 seconds without losing the energy core, and these 30 seconds are enough to overheat all these stupid alien guns.

"Hey! Look at my [Ability Collision]! Connor let out a low cry, and the ground under his feet exploded, and then the whole person turned into an afterimage and swooped in, hitting the nearest alien in the head with a punch, sending it flying with a whirl.

[Ability Collision] is an ability of the "Constitution Mutation" system, but it is naturally impossible for Connor to be an android, this is just the normal operation of the full power output of the Mass Effect core.

"[Energy Lightsaber]!" Connor once again claimed the Light Blade activated by the Universal Tool as his ability, a traditional ability to pretend to be a normal person in the N Training Base.

In the next second, she cut off all the guns in the hands of the remaining aliens with the residual strength driven by the "Strange Collision".

After eliminating the biggest threat, the next step was normal melee combat, and with the thin little bodies of aliens, Connor could even give them a hand.

"Staring at the lights!" A certain alien who was suspected of being the leader of the squad suddenly shouted in a very non-standard universal language of the Star Alliance: "Women Xu has to sigh!" ”

Phew——!

The blade of light on the back of Connor's hand rested steadily a centimeter in front of the tip of the alien's nose.

"If you try to speak, I will listen to it."
