24: You're my man
The Leviathans who created the Reapers, have an innate ability that allows them to think deeply into the minds of other "lower-level species" in order to analyze and even control "lower-level species"
It is precisely because of this innate ability that they regard themselves as the highest race in the universe and as "gods"
After all, those "low-level races" can't even hide their thoughts in front of them, and it is a matter of course that they regard themselves as gods because they have swelled too much over time.
No one knows what the mechanics will be like when this ability is used by the Leviathan.
Is it the mysterious side, or the technology side, or the hybrid side, or even the unspeakable side...... Personally, Mishan thinks it's likely to be indescribable.
…… Well, being pushed backwards by the artificial intelligence created by yourself, if you are really indescribable, it will be too embarrassing.
The Reapers, who later made the Leviathan the first to be harvested, used technology to "reprogram" the Leviathan to replicate their Creator's abilities by altering their physical or mental states using electromagnetic fields, infrasound or ultrasonic noise, and other subconscious methods.
This ability is called "edification" by the inhabitants of this world
However, compared to the Leviathan, those "low-level species" can always treat them as gods.
The reaper's copied edification ability is a bit inferior to the copycat.
Species that are affected by the "indoctrination" of the Reapers will experience a decline in high-level mental functioning, and eventually reduce the victim to a chirping animal.
However, it is precisely so inferior that the "education" ability copied by the Reaper with scientific and technological means can be said to be simple and crude, but also effective.
If willpower is strong enough to resist the Leviathan's influence, then the Reaper's indoctrination ...... Almost no one is immune to this kind of behavior that is directly based on physical changes and psychological changes.
But...... Look at the wording, "almost" is used here
"Almost", but there is never a shortage of "miracles" in any world
The human male standing in front of Mishan and pointing a gun at Mishan is this "miracle"
Perhaps in the eyes of Commander Shepard, who was standing in the opposite corner, the leader of Cerberus who had saved her life and had been fighting against her, the Phantom Man, had been completely civilized by the Reaper.
But in Mishan's eyes, this can only be regarded as pathetic, not that he is incurable.
So Mishan stopped Commander Shepard from trying to slash the Phantom Man, and instead spoke:
"Join me, and I'll give you and your Cerberus a bigger stage."
"Pavilion...... Your Excellency, he is hopeless. Shepard struggled for a long time and didn't know what to call Mishan, and finally chose the title of Your Excellency.
This title made Greenhill and Baiji who were standing beside Rice Shan star, and Greenhill took a step forward and said:
"Get on your knees, there's no place for you to talk here."
Unable to resist the pressure brought by Greenhill, Shepard bent his knees, but pressed his hands on the ground at the critical moment, and did not really kneel down.
I didn't expect such a "weak" Shepard to resist his pressure, and Greenhill's eyes showed a look of approval.
"No...... Late...... There is still a chance...... No, there's no chance, you don't know at all...... Know...... I don't know what I'm facing. ”
The conflict between one's own will and near-complete indoctrination makes the phantom man's speech, even if his body has been completely electronic, intermittently reversed.
Maybe he wanted to say something, but he couldn't, but what the Reaper's indoctrination wanted him to say, he himself denied.
Now the leader of Cerberus, the human supremacy organization nicknamed the Phantom Man, is in a cycle of self-denial, self-denial, self-denial, and self-denial.
If there is no Mishan to stir up, according to the original plot in the game.
The Phantom Man would have died at Shepard's hands...... Or under Shepard's super mouth cannon, raise a gun to kill yourself.
In fact, it was precisely because Mishan knew that the phantom man could still have the courage to raise a gun to commit suicide after being indoctrinated to such an extent, so he deliberately chose this time to appear on the stage and save the phantom man from Shepard's muzzle/mouth cannon.
After all, at the beginning of its establishment, the People's Revolutionary Federation borrowed a lot of Cerberus's program of action...... If you force it to be round, there is still a little incense.
It was only because of the existence of "indoctrination" that this organization eventually became an accomplice of the Reapers.
It's a very sad thing that can't be changed when playing the game, and Misson can only watch in desperation as the Phantom Man meets his end in the most dishonorable and at the same time the most glorious way.
Now that there is a chance to change the fate of the other party, of course Mishan will not do this.
By the way, because of the activity of the ground forces, and the Reaper fleet was completely suppressed by the human revolutionary fleet.
The current Shepard Commander is at full health compared to the scaly wounds he had when he ascended the Citadel in the game.
Of course, this full-blooded state can't change the reality that she has no ability to resist when facing Mi Shan.
Misr didn't come to this "Citadel" through the Reaper's teleporter, like Shepard, and was actually one of the highest-quality repeaters the Reaper had built.
It was only after the fleet had wiped out all the surrounding Reaper fleets that he brought Greenhill and Baiji and the Emperor's Janissary to the Citadel.
During the conversation, more than a dozen Emperor Janissaries in bright red armor stood in a circle with spears on what appeared to be the Citadel's control center.
The rest of the Holy Spirit Legionnaires escorted the engineers of the Human Revolution Federation into the rest of the "Divine Citadel", and if nothing else, the device that could connect all the activated and non-activated mass repeaters in the galaxy would soon become an asset of the Human Revolution Alliance.
"Of course I know what I'm facing, and I'll let them know what they're up against."
Mishan said to the Phantom Man, who not only spoke upside down, but also began to twist his limbs.
"Face ...... What the? The Phantom Man asked, seemingly with a smile on his face.
"To the face of humanity with the highest glory." Mishan didn't mind taking a moment to answer the Phantom Man's questions.
"......" Hearing Mishan's words, the phantom man was stunned for a moment, then showed a hideous smile again, and then stopped struggling as if he had lost all his strength.
He just raised the weapon in his hand with a trembling arm and aimed it at his jaw, and then pulled the trigger.
"Click......" It seemed that his mind was already confused, and he forgot the bullets in this gun, and when Mishan teleported in with Greenhill and Baiji just now, he used them all to attack Mishan.
Mishan shifted his gaze from the Phantom Man to Commander Shepard, who was lying on all fours, and then stepped over the Phantom Man with the other two game characters who were guards.
As Misr stepped past the Phantom Man, a golden light from nowhere shrouded the Phantom Man's body.
In the warm and holy golden light, the phantom man's body, which had been completely electronized due to the reaper's education, gradually disappeared, and in the middle of the disappearance, the phantom man finally felt the slight warmth again show a smile that could be regarded as a smile.
…… I don't know if he will be able to laugh when he gets on the operating table after a while, and is watched by a group of synthetics with "operational" tools.
Mishan, who walked to Commander Shepard with Becky and Greenhill, said, "Stand up. ”
Commander Shepard didn't know what expression and mentality he should use to face Mishan, and to describe the mental activity of Commander Shepard now, it was very stiff, embarrassed, speechless and painful...... Oh, she's the female version of Shepard, no egg.
Mi Shan, who was also entangled for a while, stretched out his hand to Commander Shepard, who was lying on the ground and looked up at him, and said, "Let's go, let's return that reaper to the factory together." ”
Shepard, who hesitated for about a few seconds, raised his hand, held Mishan's palm tightly, and said, "Okay, Your Excellency." ”
Feeling Shepard's calloused rough palms, Mishan nodded and said, "According to the agreement, you are now my person." ”
"......" Shepard's expression as he stood up froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered, and then let go of his hand and saluted Mi Shan, saying:
"Yes, sir."
