'Commander! ’

'The transport unit is ready, what other instructions do you have?' ’

The voice announcement of the helmsman 'Joker' on the bridge came from the communication, which made Shepard, who was casually talking with his group of friends and comrades in the crew lounge, sigh and stand up:

"Let them go now, go and come back quickly!"

"Normandy 2 will continue to be in orbit, we don't have much time to fly down, that's it, the call is over!"

Shepard didn't say much to the Joker, and gave his latest instructions in a few words.

'Understood!! ’

“……”

Watching little Anne and Miranda and Ashley on the side playing cards, and seeing how many embarrassing guys lose so badly against a child...... Shepard smiled heartily, and then didn't bother them, just turned around and walked softly to the huge armor-plated window in the lounge, looking out at the beautiful planet.

"It's a beautiful planet, and I'm glad it wasn't destroyed by the Reapers, isn't it, Garas?"

Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, looking at this planet with its atmosphere, forests and sea for a long time, Shepard sighed and said softly.

Standing beside her was her old comrade-in-arms, Garas, who had been standing here looking out the window at the huge, beautiful planet for a long time.

"Yes, Commander."

"When the war is over, maybe I'll choose to settle here for a while......"

Now their home is in ruins, and although the reapers there have all been driven away or wiped out by the Zerg, what remains is indeed a planet full of desolation......

In fact, most of the entire galaxy is in such a miserable scene right now, even the Earth! That kind of planetary trauma after the war can't be repaired in three or five years! So, it's really rare to get this planet right now...... If he, Garrus, had any future, after the war was over, after they had eliminated the Reapers, and succeeded in giving the galaxy a new peace, he would surely come to this memorable place to start his new life well.

"The end of the war?"

"Huh! Yes! Victory will be ours, Gelas! ”

Let's hope all the best......

Shepard smiled bitterly, she wanted to end the war sooner than anyone else, but whether it was those reapers who were extremely powerful and had reaped countless reincarnations; Or the Cerberus Phantom Man with malicious intentions and vain attempts to dominate the galaxy, they probably won't let her do it easily!

Therefore, if they want the war to end sooner, they must also keep fighting, fighting, and working hard to fight and destroy any enemy who does not intend to give them peace! Only then will they finally get what they want, the peace they have always dreamed of......

Only through struggle can we see hope, and only with blood can we forge peace!

I don't know why, Shepard always had a hunch: if they want to end the war, I'm afraid it won't be too easy...... Therefore, she is now prepared for the worst, ready to die on the way to the struggle! It's just that she has never dared to show that kind of negative emotion.

After all, she also needs to lead her like-minded friends to show the determination and attitude to those who have chosen to fight alongside her Shepard for their own pursuits and beliefs!

"Shepard, you seem to have something on your mind?"

At this time, Liara, who was sitting in front of a small coffee table and looking at some information, also walked over and stood beside Shepard, accompanying the other party to look at the beautiful planet outside the window.

She could feel that her commander, comrade-in-arms, partner and closest person, should be in a little bad mood at this time?

The place outside the window, she remembers......

Because, they fought on this planet, it seems that three years ago? But the specific time, Liara can no longer remember, because, for the Asari people, who often live for thousands of years, time is a very vague concept...... Anyway, to this day, she herself is still in her teenage years!

So, she hasn't paid much attention to time, just squandering her almost endless intangible wealth to study or work hard to save the galaxy? As for what will happen in the future, or what to do in the future, it is still a little too far away for her.

"No, nothing!"

"You may not believe Liara, but I actually just have some feelings......"

Shaking his head, Shepard continued to look quietly out the window, not saying much.

It's just that her eyes are a little deep and distant now, and her eyes are not focused on the planet outside the window of the spaceship, and she doesn't know where she has flown to.

……

Here, it's the Exsados Star Cluster!

And in the main star system, which has a mass effect repeater and can connect the entire galaxy, in the second orbit of the star system, where they are located, is one of the important colonies of the current star union.

It's the star of Eden!

This is a perfect home planet for life, with almost all the living conditions similar to Earth! From space, from the windows of Normandy 2, it still has gray-green continents and blue oceans, and the entire planet is covered with a large area of vegetation, which basically does not require any modification to directly allow humans to colonize it.

Of course, the necessary immunizations and medical conditions still need to be prepared!

However, after so many years of colonization and reclamation, under the environment of the great universe, the human immune system has long adapted to this beautiful planet...... In the same way, this Eden Lord Star has long been accustomed to the messy viruses or bacteria brought by humans, so it has not caused too much impact or damage to the planet's ecological environment.

At this moment, Shepard's Normandy 2 is quietly floating in the planetary synchronous orbit of the main star of Eden, overlooking this home star with a lot of vegetation...... Here, they didn't see too many Star Alliance fleets, and the remnants of the Sixth Fleet, which were originally stationed here and half-crippled by the Reapers, except for a few gunboats and one or two frigates to maintain basic planetary security, there was no other fleet here, and the security of the planet was reduced to the lowest point.

Because, they have all been dispatched to the Arcturus space station, and they are preparing to fight the large-scale invasion of those reapers!

It is precisely because of this that they felt that the time was tight and the atmosphere of the entire Star Federation was not very good, so they did not choose to let Normandy 2 land directly on the main star of Eden, but only sent a whole team of UT-47 drop-down shuttle landing craft to land on the excavation base on the ground, intending to directly transport back the new weapons and equipment they needed and those Proxian instruments and data backups.

Because the guys from Cerberus who originally came here to make trouble and dig up the ruins of Prosian have already been served by the fleets of the Star Federation and the Federation of Heroes! Under the strong deterrence of the fleet, except for a small number of diehards who were killed, the rest of them wisely chose to surrender and were captured one by one by the soldiers of the Star Alliance.

However, Shepard didn't want to care about the Cerberus guys right now, she was just staring at the green and blue planet with some distraction.

“……”

"Eden Primary, this is where it all began......"

Finally, Shepard, who slowly came back to his senses, sighed with some nostalgia.

Fortunately, when the Reapers came here, they had not had time to defeat the Sixth Fleet and land and harvest the main star of Eden, and they were annihilated by the heroic Federation human battlefleet that arrived in time, otherwise, the main star of Eden they saw now would definitely not be what it is now, but would have become a dilapidated ruin scene like Earth, Palevin or Secia......

Seeing the current situation, seeing this well-preserved and beautiful homeland star, I can't help but make Shepard and others feel that all their efforts and efforts over the years are still worth it after all!

"It was here, on the Lord of Eden, that I obtained the beacon of the Prothean and made us aware of the existence of the Reapers...... You may not believe it, but I didn't believe in the Reaper at first. ”

"And now that I think about it, more than three years have passed......"

Now, as fate would have it, as fate would have it, as the combined grand fleet of the Hero Federation, the Star Federation, and the Divine Citadel Council races was preparing to be forced into a grand battle against the Reapers......

Perhaps, the beginning of everything is from here, and then, the end of everything will also be here?

Of course, it could also be......

They finally succeeded in crushing the evil Reaper's reaper-reaper plans, successfully saving the entire galaxy and allowing all the current advanced civilizations to continue to thrive?

But what the final outcome will be, she doesn't know yet, and she doesn't want to know!

Shepard only knows: as long as she is alive, she will do her best to do her best! Those reapers, if they want to make her Shepard succumb, it is impossible! She will fight, fight until the day she falls!

"Yes, I still remember that Protheus beacon on Eden Lord!"

Liara, who was also standing beside Shepard and was looking at the planet below, also nodded lightly with some emotion.

Back then, it was because of the beacons and ruins of the Protheus that Liara was able to get acquainted with Shepard, and it also triggered a series of subsequent events and continues to this day.

"That's right......"

"This is where the renegade Shroud Ghost Saren and Geth launched their first attack!"

"I think in the beginning, in order to write a report, I desperately searched for all the evidence that could accuse Salen of rebellion...... At that time, while I was sitting in my office, I heard that he had attacked a colony...... After that, I couldn't sit still anymore and went straight to the path of fighting Salen, against the Reaper......"

"As you know, it wasn't easy!"

"Whether it's the Citadel Council or our Turui councilors, they obviously don't believe me, just because that Saren is the strongest ghost in the Citadel, and I'm just a C-SEC employee!"

Garras sighed a little touchingly, and said with some hatred as he looked out the window at the yellow-green planet.

The reaper's conspiracy, so to speak, began with that renegade Salen!

Although, in the end, it turned out that his report of Gueras was incomparably correct! However, those people, whether it was the council or the guys within the turre, they didn't like him very well, and some even felt that he forced Saren to cause the other party to go down such a path?

That kind of groundless speculation has always made him resentful but unable to laugh or cry......

Therefore, after the battle of the Citadel, Shepard not only won a valuable position for humanity as a member of the Citadel Council, but also became a ghost of the Citadel, but he Gerras himself was continuously squeezed out by those damn guys, and finally had to run to the Omega space station to fight crime, and stayed for two years.

However, everything in the dark has long been destined, and he Garras is destined to be ordinary in this life.

No, he offended everyone he could in the Omega space station, but none of them died! Now, he continues to embark on the path of saving the galaxy and becoming a great hero, so that those who are hostile to him and those who ostracize him continue to envy, envy and hate!

He's the archangel Gerasgai, he's so powerful!

“……”

Shepard didn't continue to speak, but stood silently with his companions, reminiscing about the eventful years......

Back then, if she hadn't found the Reaper's beacon here, then she, a little female officer who originally belonged to the Star Federation, would not have had so many things later, and it would not have caused her to sacrifice her life and struggle to smash the Reaper's plan, and she would have died for it......

Therefore, she firmly believes that whether it is those gatherers or those who have reaped countless reincarnations, as long as she is alive, she is destined to be unable to stop her path!

She knew that those guys, they were afraid of her Shepard, and even ambushed and assassinated her!

However, she did not give in and will never give in!

"Huh? What are you looking at here? Not...... Looks like a good planet ......."

∑(´△｀)？！

At this time, a little guy probed his head and came over.

"Is there something delicious or fun on this Eden Lord?!"

(*´▽`*)࿋.

Whether it's the Reapers, or the Protheus, or the Cerberus villains, none of those guys are Anne's concern!

All she wanted to know was whether there was anything fun or delicious on this green-looking planet. Otherwise, why would Big Sister Shepard and the others look so fascinated?

“……”

Well, now, their originally good atmosphere was completely destroyed by a little guy.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid not?"

Looking at the little head of anticipation, after shaking his head, Shepard explained a little helplessly:

"Eden Lord was attacked by Saren and the geth back then, and Cerberus has been active here all these years, and he has directly attacked this place before...... So, Annie, if you want to play, this Eden Lord is not a good choice here. ”

Although this Eden main star still looks very intact, and from space, both the vegetation and the terrain are well preserved, but ...... After being attacked by Salon, Geth, Star Pirates, Cerberus, and the Reapers, who appeared not long ago, the people in the various colonial towns are said to have lost a lot of people, and the little conditions have fled to a safer Earth, and as for the rest, there is no need to expect them to build this planet well under a series of turmoil.

Even, Shepard also felt that Eden Primary, before the elimination of Reaper and Cerberus, was not an ideal colonial star, even if its environment was excellent, but its unstable external security environment had seriously restricted its development.

"There's no fun, that's boring!"

(ㅎ︵ㅎ)

Hearing that there was nothing she cared about, little Anne simply turned her head and ran, and continued to get elsewhere, continuing to play with Miranda and Ashley.

It's just a broken planet, there is neither good food nor fun, so why are they talking so energetically? It's so bad to make her happy in vain!

"Shepard!"

"What do you think Cerberus came to Eden Lord here to dig up the ruins of the Protheus at such a critical time?"

Liara didn't bother with the naughty little human girl, and continued to talk to Shepard.

Rather than remembering the irreparable things of the past, what she Liara wants to know now is: what do Cerberus want to do with a series of big moves, including risking to come to Eden Lord under the noses of the Star Federation and the Hero Federation Fleet to dig up and expel the people who attacked those colonies?

If the other party does such a dangerous thing, it is definitely not untargeted!

Isn't it...... The Prothean ruins here are related to the 'Optimus Furnace' project?

If that's the case, then maybe they finally succeeded in thwarting each other's plot this time and bought them a lot of time? In short, regardless of why Cerberus chose to invade the main planet of Eden at this time, one thing is certain: the Prothean ruins and what the other side excavated must be very important!

Otherwise, they Cerberus would not have taken such a big risk and tried to steal under the noses of the Star Federation and the Hero Federation fleet!

"I don't know ...... either"

"But, I'm sure we'll find out soon!"

After speaking, Shepard directly used the universal tool in his hand to contact the clown who commanded the transportation mission on the bridge:

"Joker, what's going on, has our convoy returned?"

Because this time it was not a combat mission, but only loading and replenishment, since they had been talking here for so long in this lounge, it had been nearly half an hour, and if they calculated carefully, their Normandy No. 2 convoy should be about to return.

Shepard herself had already calculated that with the preparation of the Star Alliance forces on the ground, this time the task of replenishing and transporting goods to and from the main star of Eden would never exceed forty minutes!

'Report sir! ’

'The cargo has been loaded and is currently returning to the sea, and it will be back .......in about ten minutes'

'But, Sir Shepard! You may not believe it, but I just found something amazing in the shipping list! It seems to be ...... A relic of a Protheus? ’

Shepard didn't have to wait long before the clown in the communication channel gave what their commander wanted to know almost instantly.

"Relic?"

"What kind of relic, is it part of the Prosthete device found on Mars?!"

Hearing the Joker's words, Shepard and Liara first glanced at each other in some surprise, and then subconsciously thought: That thing, that relic must be related to the Prothean device found on Mars, the 'Optimus Furnace' project!

Otherwise, Cerberus would not have ventured to dig up the ruins and drive the people of the colony away from attacking, so that he was discovered by the fleets of the Federation of Stars and the Federation. So, that thing must be very important and valuable!

'Sorry sir! ’

'I don't know anything, I'm just a spaceship!' But the list says there are...... What seems to be a Prothean dormancy pod or something? In a few minutes at most, they made it back, so why don't you go and see for yourself? ’

The clown in the communication spread his hands innocently at his commander, this kind of thing, no one should ask him about a ship's helmsman, right? He's good at flying his own spaceship, he admits, but if it's anything else, there's nothing he can do.

"Okay, I get ......"

In desperation, Shepard could only nod awkwardly.

Before they came here, the two high-ranking officials of the Star Federation and the Federation didn't tell them what it was, nor did they mention what Cerberus had found, but just asked them to stop by to get supplies and check on Cerberus's findings...... It is very likely that their high-ranking officials of the Star Federation and the Federation Headquarters, who are now busy with the decisive battle, don't pay attention to such small things at all, right?

But whatever it was, now that it was in Shepard's hands, it wouldn't be too easy for the Cerberus guys to take it out of her hands again!

"The dormant chamber of the Protheus?"

"If that's the case, I don't think it's going to be worthwhile...... Shepard, as you should know, the Protheus have been around for 50,000 years since we are now...... I can't imagine what kind of equipment can sustain a life for so long? ”

"50,000 years, that's too long......"

Judging from the current technology of the various races in the Divine Castle, even if they claim to be the most technologically advanced Asari, the creation of dormancy chambers and the like can barely last for about a thousand years at most, if it is longer, either the equipment will not be able to hold on and collapse, or the dormant life will be irreversibly seriously damaged due to long-term dormancy, or even die because of it!

Presumably, 50,000 years was enough time to kill the unlucky Protheus who stayed in the hibernation pod.

So, after hearing this, Liara herself was not very interested in the relics of Prosian, but in the dormant pod and the like, she was more concerned about the ruins, whether there were any valuable documents and materials that had been successfully deciphered?

If it's the kind of explanation about the 'Supernator Furnace', or the literature in detail, that's great! After all, since the Prothean people had buried countless beacons and warnings for the next reincarnation civilization before they were destroyed! Then, it should be possible to find a few more plans or explanations about the Celestial Furnace.

Anyway, those things were a little more reliable than expecting a living Protse.

'Hah! ’

'Lady Liara, you're wrong this time! ’

'What I just saw in the report: the relics of the Protheus, apart from some unrecognizable information waiting for our Commander Shepard to interpret it himself, the hibernation pod we brought back is the only one with a life reaction! ’

Therefore, the soldiers of the Star Alliance did not dare to open it easily, and they have been properly protecting it all the time! ’

At this time, the clown, who was still in a state of rest and communication with the crew, directly refuted the words of Liara of Asari.

“！！”

"Excellent! Liara, it looks like we're going to have to go to the shuttle landing module on the fifth level right now! ”

"It's fun!"

"A living Protéce, that's much more valuable than some complicated information!!"

Hearing that there was such a good thing, and that there was a living fossil Prosian who might have survived for 50,000 years, Shepard's spirit couldn't help but be shocked, and he quickly grabbed the arm of Liara, who was also full of incredulity, and prepared to rush to the cabin on the fifth floor below as soon as possible.

"EDI!"

"Get Dr. Mordin and Dr. Kalyn Jakoworth to the dropship and get ready for the relevant medical treatment!!"

While hurrying out, Shepard did not forget to give her urgent orders to the ubiquitous artificial intelligence EDI. If that Proxian is really alive, then she must ask what she wants to know!

If the other party still has to die in the end, then she must wait until she finishes asking!!

'Yes, Captain Shepard!' ’

An electronic synthesizer sounded, and EDI immediately responded to Captain Shepard's order.

"King Fried!! Haha, I won!! ”

୧(๑•̀⌄•́๑)૭

At this moment, Shepard and Liara, who were hurrying out, were startled by the sound of a child whirring, and had to stop and glare angrily at a certain little ghost who had frightened them.

"Hey! You two guys are sneaking around, what are you trying to do?! ”

(=￣ω￣=)

Little Annie, who was playing cards with Miranda and Ashley, cheered, first quickly picked up two wooden clips from her side and clamped them to Miranda and Ashley's noses respectively, and then curiously asked Shepard and Shepard, who walked to their side.

The other party looked in a hurry, could it be that there was something more fun?

"Our convoy is about to return, and it is said that there is a Prosthean who may have survived from 50,000 years ago?"

"Well, do you three guys want to go and see it together?"

Seeing that Miranda and Ashley had a bunch of wooden clips on their faces, noses, ears, mouths, etc., and they looked like they had nothing to love, Shepard was shocked and amused, and asked the other party as if they were relieved.

Now it's not just her and Liara who are going, but also Garrus, Kayden, and the others!

After all, the existence of a living Proxian 50,000 years ago was very rare! Although they had roughly figured out the appearance and physical characteristics of the Prothean from those monsters when they were fighting with those collector soldiers before, those were just monsters transformed by the Reaper, where could they be compared to the living ones?

Therefore, since there is a lot of excitement to watch now, she took the opportunity to give these two partners who were being bullied by a certain little guy a step down, and saved them from having to leave and not being able to pull down that face.

"Of course I want to go!"

"Definitely going to go!!"

Without saying that, Miranda and Ashley jumped up from the couch as if relieved, and quickly pulled down the wooden clips on their faces, and looked at their Commander Shepard with a grateful gaze with red marks one by one.

In fact, they didn't want to continue playing for a long time, because the losses were so miserable that there was almost no place on their faces!

But...... Are they afraid that some nasty little guy will say that they are in arrears, that they will run away if they lose?

So, it would be great to be able to end that card game called 'Fighting Landlords' now! Otherwise, if they continue to be caught in the face by the kind of wooden clip that I don't know where the little ghost found it, their faces will really have nowhere to rest!

"Then I'm going too!!"

Go!go!go！ ٩(^ω^)و

With so many people going and as interesting as it sounds, Anne herself won't miss it! Besides, the old monster who has lived for 50,000 years or something, she herself is really a little interested!

"Let's go together!"

"I just hope that this time we don't disappoint us too much!"

After speaking, Shepard waved his hand, led a group of people of all sizes, and walked directly to the elevator of Normandy No. 2.

Hopefully, don't let them down too much......

She couldn't help but feel a little gloomy when she remembered what they had seen two days ago when they had rushed to the location of the Citadel space station and the familiar orbit of the Giant Serpent Nebula.

Because, in the original place of the Citadel space station, there were only a few cruisers of the Citadel fleet and countless rescue pods left......

There, they managed to meet Councillor Asari, who had survived, and learned everything from the other's mouth:

It turned out that it was Cerberus who took advantage of the fact that the Citadel fleet and the overlord warships that attacked the Citadel and survived the battle were both defeated, so he brazenly let their internal Governor Udina and the leader of the Krogan rebel army, Grant, cooperate with Cerberus's fleet to launch a mutiny and a surprise attack with the Cerberus!

Subsequently, they succeeded in encircling and expelling the Citadel Council in one fell swoop, and completely occupied the entire Citadel space station.

At that time, with the exception of Asari's councillors who were able to escape in time, both Serari and Turi were killed in the rebellion...... Subsequently, under the cover of Cerberus's fleet, the other party successfully drove the Citadel space station away and jumped to an unknown place.

So, when Shepard and the others arrived there, only a few broken warships were left in the orbit of the original Citadel Space Station to rescue the Citadel military and political staff and relevant citizens who escaped in time on the rescue pod.

In short, things are really going in the worst direction as Shepard and the others imagined! The Cerberus organization, while the fleets of the Star Federation and the Federation were focused on preparing against the main force of the Reapers, fished in the rear in troubled waters and got everything they wanted!

Alas......

When she thinks of the abominable creatures of Cerberus, who not only managed to get the Citadel and jump away, but also hijacked the entire space station's population of nearly 20 million, Shepard feels like her head is going to be bigger!

She had no idea what they had to do to stop each other's plots. Especially now that she is only one Normandy II, what can she do to confront Cerberus, who has guns and a fleet?

You know, the strength of the terrorist organization in Cerberus is at least as strong as half of the fleet of the Star Alliance, if they choose to fight hard, it must be their stealth infiltration frigate that will die!

However, I will only know until later, and now she can deal with the matter in front of her first, and first see what kind of thing the Proxian that Cerberus has worked so hard to dig up is, and whether it is valuable?

"Hey!"

"Little Annie, tell me quickly, did you cheat secretly just now, otherwise, how could you always win the two of us?!"

“！！”

"That's right, I remember it now! You little ghost, you haven't even lost a single bite just now, this is really suspicious! ”

"There must be something wrong with that!!"

Miranda and Ashley, who were following Shepard and the others, reacted at this time, and then stared at a little imp with a hippie smile in an unkind tone and interrogated.

Now, the faces of the two of them are still red, white, and blue, and those who don't know think that they are infected with some strange skin disease...... The soreness and pain of being caught in the face, nose, ears and lips by the wooden clips all the time, in retrospect, is really terrible!

Although the most elite fighters and agents like them are not the kind of women who rely on their faces to eat, they are also more cherished of their faces, and they will definitely not get along with their own faces for no reason.

"Where?!"

!!! ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ

"You wash those cards yourself every time, can you blame me? I haven't touched them all the time, and you're dealing the cards!! ”

Σσ(・Д・； I, I, I didn't do anything!!

Yes, little Anne can rightly say that she is not cheating at all!

Because, the loser is responsible for the shuffle, and it is these two unlucky big sisters Miranda and Big Ashley who are losing cards from beginning to end! She, the landlord who is the winner, only unveils one of them casually when she is ready to deal the cards to decide who to deal the cards first, where is she likely to cheat?

“……”

"So, it seems to be the same?"

"Maybe, it's really our bad luck today?!"

"It's possible ......"

Miranda and Ashley looked at each other quizzically, and then they thought about it, and that was exactly what it was...... The shuffle is always losing in the shuffle, and they can't fight Annie, a small 'landlord', they can't even be lazy, and even, they are responsible for even dealing cards.

And among them, this little guy just has the opportunity to touch the cards when he turns over a card, and the whole process is under the noses of their two fast-eyed elite warriors, and it is absolutely impossible to have a chance to cheat!

Perhaps, they really blamed this little guy?

"That's it! It's obviously your own bad luck, and you want to blame me?! ”

๑乛◡乛๑

Without evidence, I want to put the blame on her Queen Anne's head, where is there such a cheap thing? If you really have the ability, take out the evidence of her cheating!

Anyway, no matter what, she won't admit it, there is no such thing at all.

"Okay......"

"Don't be complacent, little one! That's just that we don't know too much about the rules of 'fighting landlords', let's see, you look good at night! ”

"Humph! Remember to call me at night, my mother won't believe it, and she can't clean up this little ghost! ”

"I must use those wooden clips to make her face bloom, it's useless to beg for mercy!!"

"Little Annie, remember, don't leave at night, the decisive battle will be until dawn~!!"

Anyway, Normandy 2 still has a few days to reach its destination, and after today's replenishment, it will be enough for them to have a good frolic for a few more days!

"Let's go back and study the rules carefully, we will definitely win!"

"Of course!"

"When the time comes, the two of us have to cooperate better, and we farmers can't let each other pull each other's backs......

"No problem! I'm not going to top your cards anymore! ”

"Humph!"

Miranda and Ashley muttered something as they stared fiercely at a smug little girl. Although the two of them may not be as good as this little ghost in marksmanship or something, they also admit it, after all, that kind of shooting talent or something, sometimes it is really hard to make up for it.

However, a deck of cards, a small game with a total of fifty-four cards, the two of them who were born and raised on the earth, can't they still play an alien imp? .

This kind of thing, that's absolutely impossible!

So, they decided that after dinner in the evening, they must find a place to work together, and humiliate some nasty imp fiercely! Then there are certain necessary ciphers that must be arranged in advance, and when the time comes, you will be sure to have some little ghost have those torturous wooden clips between his face, ears and nose!

(Stupid earthlings...... ）

(●￣(ｴ)￣●)

(Of course, Tibbs knows why his wretched little master keeps winning, and that's because ...... Her guy, every time, let it Uncle Tibbs Bear secretly calculate first, calculate to see who gets the cards first and let her get the best deck! After all, figuring out who gets the best out of a fifty-four-card game isn't easy for Tiebs! And the little master of it only needs to decide what kind of card to turn over and let her get the best deck. ）

“……”

(。 •ω•)σ)´㉨`)

"Tibbs, shut up!!"

After hearing some very bad thoughts about her own bear, Anne, who was originally proud and happy, changed her face in vain, and directly reached out and grabbed the face of a certain bear, and began to twist it vigorously.

“？？”

"Little Annie, I found ...... How do you always like to bully this teddy bear that bullies you? ”

As soon as Miranda and Ashley, who had probably discussed the countermeasures, looked down, they found that a certain imp was gritting his teeth and twisting the plush toy in each other's hands, and they couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Nothing!"

"I've noticed that my bear's skin has been too tight lately, and I need to loosen it?"

Σ(ﾟ∀ﾟﾉ)ﾉ

"Oops! I'm whispering to my little bear, please don't eavesdrop on adults like you!! ”

|•ˇ₃ˇ•。 )

Luckily, no one could hear a bad bear, otherwise her little secret might have been discovered!

“……”

"How does it look weird and weird......"

"Hasn't she always been like this?"

"Hah! That's what I said......"

Seeing that the little guy and his stuffed toy bear could have so much fun, Ashley and Miranda, who couldn't figure it out, could only shake their heads with tears and laughter, and followed Shepard and the others in front of them towards the elevator console.

Now, too, it's time to see a certain Prothean who is said to have lived for 50,000 years.

The Anadis system, home to Jack Harper, the Phantom Man, or the main headquarters of the human extremist terrorist organization Cerberus!

Originally, there was nothing here except for the giant red Mia giant red giant star Anadis, and even the planets in the original galaxy were swallowed up by the red giant!

After all, it is normal for an 'icy' dead star with a mass of about 20 times the mass of the Sun and more than 1,500 times the radius of the Sun to swallow up an entire galaxy, and under normal circumstances, not many people pay attention to such a dead galaxy.

Of course, the 'cold' star, that's actually relative!

Compared to those active stars in their prime, the Anadis star is indeed cooler, it emits very little light from the earth, and it cannot support the large amount of light and heat required by a living planet, and the planets in this galaxy have long been swallowed by itself.

Generally speaking, this should not be a place where there is any sign of life activity......

However, it was set up here by Jack Harper, the Phantom Man, who set up the main base of Cerberus!

Originally, in addition to the giant space station 'Kronos' of Cerberus, and the 'Goddess of Peace' fighter base platform responsible for defending the Kronos space station, these two man-made objects located in the outer safety zone of the red giant star!

According to the phantom man Jack Harper, if such an inconspicuous space station of Cerberus were hidden in the massive amount of rays and energy that the red giant's periodic solar storms erupted and emitted, it would certainly not be detected by anyone, and it would not be listed on the star map of any racial power, including the star map of the Star Federation and Cerberus himself!

And this place, the headquarters space station they organized, only a small number of high-level officials know its specific location!

However, today, in addition to the original space station, fighter platform and the newly built and unfinished 'Optimus Furnace', there is a huge cylindrical fusiform space station here!

It's - the Citadel station that moves and jumps here when it's closed!

The heart of the galaxy, the space station, has now been captured and moved here by Cerberus, ready for their last control of the Reaper's plan to dominate the galaxy.

They Cerberus now that Chen Gong has all the prerequisites for running the 'Optimus Furnace', and they are only one step away from enslaving the Reapers and dominating the galaxy!

"Humph!"

"This is where you Cerberus hides, within the radiance of a red giant? That's great! But now that I've found out, what, are you trying to kill me too?! ”

Grånt, the leader of the Krogan rebels, sat in his seat on the Council of the Citadel, looking at Jack Harper, the Phantom of Cerberus, Fellow of Humanity, Udina, and several of Cerberus' armed thugs.

Compared to the other party, now there is only one Krogan subordinate and Quali female staff on his side, and if it really fights, it will definitely be their side that suffers.

"You're kidding, of course not!"

Although Jack Harper had said this, he had barely finished his sentence when behind Krogan Grunt and his two men suddenly distorted light, revealing three Shadow Warriors of Cerberus, each with a sharp single blade across their necks.

Now, all it takes is one command from Jack Harper, the Phantom Man, and the three of them will fall directly to the ground!

"Phew!"

"I know you guys can't believe it! Why, Lord Phantom Man, do you Cerberus want to die together? Don't blame me for not reminding you, if that treasure of mine blew up, let alone the Divine Castle, I'm afraid that the round half-finished space station not far away from you will also be finished! ”

As for the sharp blade lying across his neck, Krogan leader Grant really doesn't care at all!

Because, he believed that the other party would not do anything to him, otherwise, they would have done it a long time ago, not like now, just baring their fangs to threaten him! It's just that the other party's wishful thinking is wrong, and he Grant is not the master who is afraid of being threatened! Moreover, he is the only one who threatens others, not others!

This Cerberus, if he has the chance, he will definitely kill the other party again! It's like the other party wants to kill him Grant!

"Haha!"

"Mr. Grant, you misunderstood, I just wanted to see your guts, we are friends and family, aren't we?"

After saying that, Jack Harper, the phantom man, waved his hand, and the three shadow warriors behind the other party instantly put away their knives and respectfully saluted each other before walking behind the team on Cerberus's side.

Just as the mortal Citadel Council is jealous of each other, so is he, Jack Harper, is also jealous of the Clogan Crumbs who don't know where to hide the nuclear bomb and threatens to blow up the Citadel at every turn!

"Family?"

"When did I, Grant, become one of your Cerberus? Just you Cerberus bastards? Hum! Save it! ”

"It's just that, compared to the Council that has always been strong, but has only recently been beaten a little badly by the Reapers, I prefer you Cerberus partners who are a little weaker!"

"I don't believe in the Council of the Citadel, and I don't trust you either! If I hadn't thought you guys were a little better to deal with, you bastards would have a chance to speak in front of my Uncle Grant? ”

Krogan Grunte didn't care about the other party's increasingly ugly face, and taunted the leader of Cerberus to his face.

Since the other party didn't give him face just now, then he Grant simply tore his face directly! When the time comes, let's see who kills who first!

“……”

The phantom man stopped Leng Kai, the subordinate next to him who wanted to step forward and give the other party a good look.

"Lord Grant!"

"Tell me, what do you really want to get your people out of the way so that they don't stop our work?"

Now the Phantom Man Jack Harper is annoyed, because the hundreds of thousands of militants on the other side occupy the Citadel space station, especially the vast majority of the Citadel Ring, seriously hindering their operations, so that his plan to dock the unfinished 'Optimus Furnace' to the Citadel space station first, so that when it is completed, his grand plan to carry out his grand plan has to be temporarily postponed, which makes him want to directly order the other party to be killed.

Therefore, now that it is not feasible to use force, he can only come soft, intending to meet some conditions of the other party in order to obtain the control of the Divine Castle first.

"Hey!"

"It's easy! I want a dreadnought, ten cruisers, and twenty large armed transports!! ”

The Citadel is a good place, but Grant still thinks that its target is a little too big, and it is easy to attract the attention of the Reaper or the Citadel Council race!

So, after careful consideration, he planned to get the warships and fleet he needed from Cerberus, and then pack up his own people and take them away, find a place where no one was around, and wait until everything was calm, and then make plans?

Anyway, whether it is other races or reapers, it is not something that he Grant provoked, and since he has provoked the Citadel Council and those council races now, it is better for him to get out of the house as soon as possible, get a fleet early, and then take countless wealth, resources and his own subordinates, find a remote place to live happily, but it is far better than staying on the Citadel and worrying!

Those councillors of the Divine Castle must have wanted to kill him Grant more than once! It's a pity that now he caught the opportunity and killed the other party first.

"Why don't you grab it?!"

Jack Harper's face became even more ugly!

The price offered by the other party is almost half of their Cerberus fleet! Obviously, the other party is pressing their Seberus's bottom line, which makes it difficult for him to choose for a while.

"Rob?"

"Where did you rob it, and asked you to come quickly?!"

The Krogan sneered unabashedly, completely oblivious to the growing smell of gunpowder on both sides.

“……”

"When do you want it?"

"Humph! The sooner the better!! ”

“……”

"Deal!!"

"Haha! Happy cooperation, you Cerberus are so generous! I thought you would only give half of it, but you idiot wouldn't even be able to bargain? ”

“……”

"Let's go!"

Jack Harper, the phantom man who couldn't bear it, took it directly and walked away with his men without looking back. It's just that he secretly decided in his heart: when he controls the Reaper, he will definitely make this Krogan miscellaneous look good!

At that time, he directly ordered the Reapers to wipe out all races in the entire galaxy except humans, especially those Krogan people, not a single one will be left!!

"Don't send it!"

"Remember to send our fleet early, I'll definitely take a professional team of engineers to check it carefully, you don't want to mess with anything we don't want to see......"

Seeing the other party walking out angrily, Grant still mocked desperately.

"Huh?"

"Who are you, dark-haired bastard? Are you not convinced? ”

"My Uncle Grant is here, what's the matter, you want to fight?!"

Seeing that a human with black armor and black hair and a black eyepiece dared to provoke him, Grant took out the C-14 electromagnetic 'spike' rifle behind his back without hesitation and slapped it viciously on the table.

"Leng Kai!!"

Outside the door, the voice of the Phantom Man came in.

“......”

In the end, the man named Leng Kai still didn't dare to make a move, and turned around hatefully and left the Krogan man's office.

"Ahh

"Dare to threaten me Grant? We'll see, sooner or later we'll have to kill you Cerberus dregs! ”
