Shepard, Miranda, Garas, Jacob, Caydon and other important Normandy 2 crew members gathered in this not too big laboratory, they formed a large circle, in addition to not affecting Dr. Mordin's actions, dozens of people directly stood full, almost all of them came, ready to witness this historic moment!

And those who need to stick to their posts and can't come are also staring at the holograms of the laboratory in different places on the spaceship, always keeping an eye on what is going to happen here.

Of course, little Annie, who likes to join in the fun, must have also come!

It's just that she didn't huddle with those guys, she had a good relationship with Dr. Mordin, and she was also loved by the crooked star, so she just sat down on the doctor's rotating chair with a big smile, holding her little bear and watching that Uncle Mordin fix all those troublesome things.

In fact, as long as they come to her and beg her, Queen Anne, she can solve such a matter of interrogating the captives with a wave of her hand, so she doesn't need to bother!

"It should be almost, Commander Shepard, I'll report something to you first......"

"Last night, I compared the DNA structure of these collectors with all the currently known races in the galaxy, and I found that they are indeed the Protheans who have left all kinds of relics, beacons, and wisdom enlightenment for all the races in the galaxy!"

"About that, I'm pretty sure!"

Speaking of this, Mordin glanced at the surrounding crew members and marines, thought for a moment, and continued:

"So, if they're really wiped out by the Reaper......"

"I'm sorry about that! Commander, I'm pessimistic about whether we can crush the Reaper's plot or stop them from invading the galaxy......"

He had been thinking about this for a long time since he got the result last night.

In the opinion of Dr. Mordin, a serarian man, since the Prosens who were as powerful as the previous era, they were all defeated by the Reapers and transformed into thug-like collectors, then what hope did they have for the various races of the Galactic Citadel that had developed by inheriting the blessings of the ruins of the Prosians? You must know that the galaxy territory that the Divine Citadel has explored now is only three percent of the total, and it is definitely far from reaching the heyday of the Prothean people, if the Prothean people really caused the extinction of the race and the collapse of civilization because of the harvest of the reaper, then this thing is really terrifying.

Of course, although it can be confirmed that the collector is a Proxian now, but whether the collector and the harvester have anything to do with each other or not, then the most crucial first-hand evidence must be obtained soon.

Because, their Shepard commander and the others captured one of the leaders of the collectors, and the information obtained from the other party's brain must be very valuable and credible!

"I can already be sure that these collectors are the reapers' men, and I firmly believe in the existence of the reapers, and even know their horrors better than all of you!"

"But, no matter what, I'm not going to compromise because they're strong, I'm going to keep fighting hard, just like we've always done!"

"So, Dr. Mordin, please get started!"

Shepard has long said that the Reaper exists, but no one else believes in her, and those who are willing to believe in her are not capable of changing anything...... That's why she wastes a lot of time looking for so-called 'evidence', watching the threat of the Reaper looming and helpless......

However, now it was different, she would soon have access to the most direct evidence, and if she couldn't convince some of the guys, then she really couldn't do anything......

They really did their best and did everything to the extreme! Her heroic title is earned by the hard work and sweat of countless classmates, and their efforts are by no means as simple as advertised by the outside world!

Over the years, many of her fellow fighters have fallen in the way against Salen, the geth, and the Overlord...... Even in the Horizon colony, they sacrificed several Marines...... Fortunately, they got a great victory by luck in this mission!

Not only did they shoot down enemy ships, but they also captured many of the 'alive' Collector captives, and they really couldn't have done any better than they were now.

"I'm kind of impatient now!"

Standing directly in front of the device that the Doctor was fiddling with, Shepard raised his hand and motioned for Dr. Mordine to start now.

"Okay!"

"I'm now starting to stimulate and activate some of the brains and nerves of this collector leader, keeping it in a low-frequency state like a dream...... Then project his consciousness into this holographic device, which affects its judgment and thinking, and then you can have a normal conversation with him, basically...... Whatever you ask, it will answer? ”

"But you have to be quick!"

"I'm not sure how long this will last...... As you know, the strength of this collector is too strong, whether it is physical strength, mental power, or other abilities, etc., it is a very high value, completely beyond our imagination! ”

"I think you'd better not take more than ten minutes?"

Dr. Mordin, a native of Serrarui, carefully admonished Shepard in the lab as he operated the instruments he had tinkered with for the night.

Even after a busy night, he didn't feel sleepy, because ...... They are extremely metabolically active amphibious warm-blooded creatures, and their extremely high metabolism makes their life expectancy only about forty years old, and at the same time, their race often only needs to sleep for an hour a day to ensure abundant physical strength and vigorous energy!

In this way, it seems that their Serari clan has been awake for a little bit longer than humans?

Therefore, the earthlings laugh at the short life of the Serari people, in fact, it is very undesirable, and the waking time of the Serari people is not shorter than the earthlings who have to rest for at least eight hours a day! So, despite a long busy night last night, Dr. Mordin quickly recovered from an hour's rest in the morning and was energetic enough to devote himself to today's important experiment.

"Are you ready? I'm about to start! ”

After manipulating on the holographic workbench for a while, Mordin raised one of his fingers and turned to the front of the start button, and after a moment's hesitation, he turned back and asked again.

"Trust me, it won't be that long!"

It was nothing more than a few key issues, so Shepard impatiently urged the Serarian, who had become a little abrasive after entering old age, to start quickly.

“……”

Nodding, Dr. Mordin didn't say anything more, checked his device on the holographic display again, and after seeing that there was nothing unusual about the feedback signal, he took a deep breath and pressed a button that represented the beginning.

Honk! Honk!

A signal light began to flash and light up, and soon, in front of a device in front of Shepard, a holographic image of a monster identical to the leader of the Collectors held in a frozen medical pod was projected.

‘δζζσπ、θκλγ……’

As soon as the hologram of the leader of the Collector appeared, he turned his head to look around in confusion, and then asked Shepard who was standing at the front of it.

"EDI, translate my conversation with it in real time!"

With a slight frown, Shepard gave the order to the artificial intelligence EDI of Normandy II.

'Yes, Commander Shepard!' ’

‘δζζσπ、θκλγ……’

'Who are you?' ’

"It doesn't matter who we are, now, please tell me, who you really are, where are you from, and why are you arresting us humans?!"

Shepard took two steps forward, almost in front of the dazed Collector General, and asked as he asked the two pairs of bright white eyes staring at the other party's hologram.

'I am the general of the collectors......

'We're from the galactic core opposite the Omega Four repeater......

'Capture the human ...... It's to build a giant reaper in human form......

"Sure enough, it's the Reaper!"

"Now, tell me about your relationship with the Protheus, and your relationship with the Reaper!"

Sure enough, after hearing that the EDI real-time translation contained the information he wanted to hear, Shepard stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone in the laboratory to be quiet, and then took a deep breath again and asked loudly!

She believed that herself, the multi-purpose tools of the other crew members present, or the equipment of Normandy 2, were now recording everything that was happening! Moreover, it is the ironclad evidence that they are about to present to the clans of the Divine Castle!

'We ......'

'It's Prothean ......'

'We lost the battle against the Reapers, who transformed us and gave us a mission......

Wait...... Odd...... What's going on? ’

Less than two minutes after saying this, the Collector General's hologram began to fluctuate somewhat erratically, apparently sensing that something was wrong.

"Commander Shepard, my calculations are wrong!"

"Its brain, mind, and neurons suddenly become active, look at the data, it's amazing..... so, Commander, you'd better hurry, this guy is too strong, it's trying to get out of that dream I forced on it?"

Seeing that things had changed, Mordin hurriedly operated on his own instrument.

This situation is really a bit beyond his expectations, originally he thought that he could control the other party for at least ten minutes, and those ten minutes were just his conservative statements, but who would have thought that the other party would have a tendency to break free from his control in less than two minutes?

"What is the mission?!"

With a sharp look in his eyes, Shepard stared at the other party's eyes with sharp eyes, and asked again in a somewhat hurried tone.

'Early reconnaissance and assessment of the races of the galaxy.....

'Prepare for a 50,000-year harvest......

Thanks to Dr. Mordin's efforts, the hologram of the collector general was stabilized again.

"Commander, please hurry!!"

While working hard to operate this, Dr. Mordin, who has always given people the image of not being in a hurry, actually warned Shepard anxiously while quickly tapping the holographic buttons, and it was obvious that he seemed to be a little unable to control the other party.

"Where the hell is the Reaper? When do they harvest the galaxy, where do they come from, how many of them are there, and what are the reapers?! ”

Knowing the nature of the matter, Shepard didn't dare to delay any longer, and directly asked the most important questions! If they know that, they can know what they're going to do next, or let the races of the galaxy know how to guard against the Reapers!

'Dark Universe Beyond the Galaxy......'

'Hmm...... Who are you? ’

"Answer my question right away!!"

Shepard ignored the other party's question, and directly shouted fiercely again.

'Harvest...... The harvest has begun......'

'The Citadel station is uncontrollable...... Reapers, will α quality repeaters from Batarui ......'

'Reaper...... Endless ......'

'They are a race of higher mechanical life created by the Leviathan...... is the source of the nightmare of destruction that comes to the galaxy once every 50,000 years...... Their harvest lasted hundreds of millions of years......

'Hmm......? ’

'No! You primitive races, don't try to control me!! ’

At this point, the collector's hologram began to tremble violently, and the data on the holographic screen in front of Dr. Mordine also appeared with red alarm modules!

"It doesn't matter, we've got everything we want to know!"

After the most critical questions had been obtained, Shepard sneered and looked at the hideous collector monster, it was still too late for the other party to break free from control, she had already got everything she wanted to know!

'Hahaha......'

'Stupid human! What you are doing now will only hasten your demise! ’

'My defeat has increased your threat level...... The harvest has officially begun...... They've already come......

After a quick laugh, the hologram of the Collector General suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, the holographic screen in front of Mordin was full of red alarm signals, and now, the other party was completely out of control.

"What's going on?!"

Seeing this change, Shepard quickly turned his head to look at Dr. Mordin.

However, without waiting for the other party to check the equipment or answer, the frozen dormancy chamber where the Collector General was holding it exploded, and then the Collector General, with only a few tentacle legs, broke free from the devices that bound it, jumped out of it, and hovered under the not-so-high ceiling of the cabin.

“aaagh！！”

At the same time as an angry roar sounded, the other party's four miserable white eyes suddenly lit up with a blue and white strong light!

"Kill it! No!! ”

"Uhh

"My Head !!"

"Fast ....."

However, before Shepard and the other Marines who were present took out their weapons, opened the safety and loaded them to shoot, they, including Shepard, crouched down with their heads in their hands!

Woo~! Woo~! Woo~!

At the same time, shrill sirens sounded throughout the Normandy II, and red siren lights flashed wildly, and EDI issued a danger alert to the rest of the ship without Shepard's order.

Obviously, the Collector General carried out a mental attack on everyone in this laboratory, even if it couldn't directly control Shepard and the others, but it should still be more than enough to emit high-frequency brain waves to torture or burn the brains of those creatures of the lower primitive race compared to their Proximity!

Bang!!

A gunshot rang out, flying low in the air, and the head of the Collector General, who was just a little distance from the ceiling, was instantly shot through a hole the size of a fist.....

Boom!

No one's brain can survive after the scoop has been opened, not even the Collector General! So, it had to collapse in the laboratory of Normandy 2.

"Hoo ......"

"Well done, Annie!"

After standing up with his headache in his head, Shepard didn't bother to ask why the little guy wasn't affected by the enemy's psychic attack, but took a hard look at the collector monster that had fallen on the metal deck and was dead and could no longer die, before he breathed a sigh of relief and praised the little girl.

They were saved by another little guy, and if they hadn't shot them in time, things would have gotten really bad.

"You're welcome!"

Throwing aside the weapons that had just been brought from someone else, Anne ignored the stupid people who were crouching or lying on the deck holding their heads and wailing, and ran directly to the fallen collector general, and kicked the other man in the head with her own foot, as if to make sure that the other party was dead or not.

Actually, this monster's mental attack is very powerful, if she weren't here, I'm afraid these unlucky guys would all be doomed!

'Commander Shepard! ’

'Just detected an unidentified strong biological wave emitted by the Collector General!' ’

Without waiting for Shepard and the others to breathe a sigh of relief, Normandy No. 2 Geo-AI EDI reported to Shepard at the same time when it turned off the alarm that had just sounded throughout the ship.

"Damn it!"

"Surely it's either for the Reaper or for the Gatherer! Quick, Joker, find the nearest repeater, and we're going back to the Citadel right now! ”

'Yes! Commander! ’

Following Shepard's order, the voice of the helmsman's clown could be heard from one of the lab's broadcast equipment. It's just that, judging from the tone of the other party, in the change just now, it must have scared them.

"No!"

"We're not going to Citadel, we're going to the Bahak system as fast as we can!!"

Without waiting for the clown to execute, Shepard, who seemed to have thought of something, changed his order again.

That's right, she's going to the place where the Batarui α mass repeater is located, and find a way to destroy that repeater and stop the Reaper's attack on the galaxy! Just now, when the Collector General tried to control her, she also saw many terrible things in the other party's mind, including those Reapers, of course!

"Good idea, Shepard!"

"However, I have to report to my commander now, and you can take care of the things here!"

At this time, Miranda, who had obviously discovered something terrible from the collector's brain just now, didn't care about her own state, so she staggered and covered her head and walked quickly towards the outside of the laboratory, she needed to report what she knew, as well as the information she had just obtained, to the leader of Cerberus, the Phantom Man!

"Cut! It's boring! ”

"Those reapers have been doing everything for hundreds of millions of years, they are really powerful......

"If it were me, I wouldn't have to wait 50,000 years, and I wouldn't be able to stand it for a day! But how long can they last spicy...... They don't want to eat and have fun on their own, but they just want to care about whether this galaxy will be ruled by mechanical life, there must be something wrong with their brains! ”

After mentioning the Collector General's head dangling on the deck again, Anne pursed her lips in disdain.

Sure enough, no matter what the world, there are always some strange guys, such as those reapers and their leaders, who must be funny, right? What's the point of harvesting higher organic races and doing that thankless job?

This galaxy is so big, there are more galaxies outside the galaxy, if the Reaper is so powerful, where can you go to play, why do you want to nest in this world, doing the same thing for hundreds of millions of years?
