Chapter 369: Three Years - Shadow Broker
As mentioned earlier, in the weeks leading up to the Battle of Citadel, the Normandy was being attacked by an unidentified warship (actually a cruiser from the Gatherer base) while tracking the Remnants of the Geth. Faced with the heavy damage as soon as they met, Shepard decisively ordered the ship to be abandoned. Therefore, except for the crew who died in the first strike, almost all the rest of the people entered the escape pod in time to eject, and thus escaped.
Only Sister Xue was stranded on the ship in order to save Joker, who stubbornly wanted to save the spaceship. Eventually, Joker is rescued, but she hangs ......
By the time he was resurrected by Cerberus, Shepard woke up two years later, and the world had become very different, especially the former crew.
In the face of Sister Xue, who came back from the dead, she said that she was very happy but then explicitly rejected Sister Xue's request to recruit. We all know that the person who is obstructive and prejudiced is both stubborn and prejudiced, and takes certain things very seriously - Lu Yuan was just messing around at school at the beginning, but when he made a lot of contributions to the Star Federation, even those who had been harmed by him forgave him, only the obstructive pear always had a bad impression of Lu Yuan;
Therefore, when Sister Xue and the notorious organization of Cerberus are mixed together, no matter whether Sister Xue wants to do something to save the world or not, the obstructive pear is destined not to get involved.
After returning to his home planet, Lex the Krogan inherited the position of the patriarch of the tribe and became the famous "King of Rai"! At this time, Cerberus was holding the "antidote" of the genetic potion in one hand and a weapon in the other. Rampage through Krogan's home planet and trying to turn all of Krogan into dog-stuffed thugs - Klox was born to do the right thing!
He was fighting with Cerberus to the point of bursting his brain, so he entertained Sister Xue warmly. but rejected the olive branch she stretched out. After all, now Sister Xue also seems to be a member of the dog.
Among the crew of a generation, the original Turui Gailas is the most likely to return to Sister Xue's command, just like the previous plot happened.
When he resigned, he lost C-sec! It's impossible to continue to go to the Castle as a policeman, and he can't afford to lose that person when he goes home to his father. So when the Normandy crashed, Gueras wandered around as a vagrant. Finally, sneak to the Omega space station and become the "archangel" who presides over justice in the dark!
In the original plot, he mixed up very well. Rise to fame in the world of darkness and eventually return to the new Normandy.
But the world has changed, and the dark king of the Omega space station has become the queen's adjutant Ding Mumu...... Possess the power of psionic powers, wanderers, and divine illumination. Ding Mumu's strength in the dark is unmatched! Not at all...... So after being played with like a cat and mouse by Ding Mumu for a year. Gueras was successfully tamed by Sister Mu Mu and became the "No. 1 thug" under Mu Mu, completely missing out on Normandy.
Finally, there is Liara, the Asari who used to be jealous of Annie for Sister Xue.
She opened a research company in the capital of the planet Irim - alas, as we all said, the world has changed......
You must know that the "Ilim Spring" incident has just passed - at that time, Zhao Min suddenly rose from Ilim in just two or three years and became the uncrowned king of Ilim's generation. Then she punches Asari. kicked Waller's three fats, and when he left, he turned the whole of Irim upside down! In the end, Shi Shiran packed tens of billions of star yuan in cash and the blueprints of the warships of the two clans and left. Leaving only a chic back for future generations to recall......
Since then, the business environment in Ilim has become suddenly harsh. Major companies have expanded their territory, and finally completely carved up and monopolized the entire Irim market, leaving no new people with the opportunity for Shenma to develop and grow. Hence the tragedy of Liara...... Her company is struggling to survive even though it has been established for more than a year......
At this time, Sister Xue just waved her hand, and she did not hesitate to drop the mess in her hand and pounce back into Sister Xue's elastic embrace.
Liara then proposes a pre-mission to become a teammate - to find the Shadow Broker's lair and rescue her ex-partner Feron (Gender: Male. This name is super bull X) - Sister Xue's side quest is in hand.
*****
Hagras, a planet covered in storms all day, the seas boiling during the day and turning into an icy hell at night.
Due to the irregular orbits and declination of the satellites, the entire atmosphere of the planet is in a state of strong convection for a long time...... That is, global hurricanes!
Gale winds of more than 220 kilometers per hour, heavy rains brought by strong convection, and dense electrical discharges caused by friction in the atmosphere have caused the natural environment of the entire planet to be extremely harsh. In addition, this planet is like thousands of ordinary rocky planets, with an iron core and a silicon-dominated crust...... In short, there is nothing special about it. There are more convenient ways in the universe to find these elements than to mine this planet.
This means that its development value is zero!
No one could have guessed that the headquarters of the Shadow Brokers, an intelligence organization spread across the galaxy, were hidden on this planet, an old cruiser that flew in the middle of a storm all day long.
After a series of investigations and battles, Sister Xue finally took Sister Lan to locate the location of the shadow agent's lair. They boarded the cruiser, which was flying in the storm, in a landing vehicle......
Once in the ground battle, Sister Xue will always be the best, this is the will of the universe - so Sister Xue only took the blue girl Liara and a newly recruited veteran, relying on the cover that must be within ten steps, and the heavy weapon fire coverage that never appeared - finally pushed the mercenary hired by the shadow broker in the ground battle, and broke into the battleship.
……
The door to the battleship's central control room finally opened in front of them.
Shepard fearlessly took the lead in the lead, and by this time, neither the Shadow Broker nor Saren could stop the Valkyrie.
The empty hall was dimly lit, and they could only see it in the center of the hall. There is a console that surrounds a holographic screen. A figure sits in the darkness behind the console, elbows on the surface of the console, fingers crossed. Top on the chin. Although he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, the three of Shepard all had a feeling of being looked up and down......
And especially Sister Xue, her heart began to beat violently, because the figure that was just outlined by the darkness gave her a very familiar feeling!
"Long time no see...... Shepard," Shepard heard the Shadow Broker say. There was a clear hint of joy in his voice. "You'll always be like that...... Rash. ”
"Ann, Anne?!!!!"
The man behind the console stood up, exposing his face to the light. Pretty faces. With fiery red hair, who else could it be other than Anne, who had already "died" in Womel!
*****
The following is a conversation between Shepard, a former N7, Ghost Agent, Keeper of the Citadel, and Shepard, who has a database status of "Killed", and Annie, a former N7, Normandy Marine Captain and current "Shadow Broker", who also has a database status of "Killed".
"You're not dead?!"
"Of course I'm not dead...... Just like you stand here. ”
"Since you're not dead. Why don't you come back to me! You know how ...... I am. Do you miss you too much?! Shepard's voice. There was a hint of choking in anger. "You just can't bear to leave me like that?! Watching me fight alone in the Citadel?! Sister Xue remembered the powerlessness she felt when she faced Salen...... I couldn't help but feel sad and indignant. She thought more than once that if Anne was still there at that time, she would definitely be able to easily kill Saren with the tacit understanding of the two of them!
"You still have Liara anyway, don't you? Ah, Liara, I forgot to say hello to you. Hi, long time no see! Anne's words were really full of resentment, which made Sister Xue a little embarrassed. She was reunited after a long absence from Liara. So along the way...... Ahem...... She now feels like she's a scumbag no matter what she says. Instead, Leara greeted Anne as usual. Her relationship with Anne has always been cold, and passers-by are not full, and it is definitely not good.
"And you don't really think you can take out Saren and the Reaper on your own, do you?" Anne shook her head and said that while she also wanted Shepard to continue on the rampage, she didn't want Shepard to become arrogant. "Think about how Li Huamei's fleet and Quali's fleet appeared...... Consider why Salen's plan was about to succeed, and why did the Citadel suddenly have a blackout...... Although we didn't directly participate in the battle of the Divine Citadel, we did a lot of things in the same way! ”
"So it was all done by the shadow brokers!" The mystery of the Battle of the Citadel is revealed, and Shepard and Liara both show expressions of surprise and disbelief, and finally shocked. Anne nodded and simply admitted that they had misunderstood the blame for the shadow broker, not wanting to explain too much.
Moreover, their understanding is not wrong - when the Dawn enters the Silver Heart, Anne replaces the Yago and takes over the Shadow Brokers organization. Through the combination of this organization and the Asari environmental protection organization, the Dawn quickly laundered Lu Yuan and Mu Xing's funds, and then purchased the materials needed by the Dawn on a large scale. The Shadow Broker's channels were already very hidden, and after the Dawn entered the Silver Heart, she was a Mass Effect repeater herself. With Dawn itself as its own coordinates, the delivery of supplies does not need to go through the Omega Four repeater at all.
Therefore, the funds and logistics of the Dawn are completely outside the control of Cerberus and the various governments.
"Well, I'll admit you have a point." Sister Xue said reluctantly, but she immediately raised her eyebrows again. "I've heard that the shadow brokers bought and sold my corpse?! How can you explain this to me! ”
――――――
PS: It's hard to get the book to the tent.
In fact, it's all to blame for Lao Lei's update being too scummy...... Recently, some chapters will be incomprehensible and uninteresting, because in order to build a complete and detailed world, the whole plot is very open. At the end of the day, you need to explain it one by one. If you read this part in one go, it's fine, but for readers who are chasing books, it is likely that some of the previous details have long been forgotten...... So of course it looks a bit clueless.
But since Lao Lei wants to write a book with as rigorous structure as possible and no big mistakes, he has to fill in all the big and small pits......
Also, there is the question of whether there will be another world after the end of this world. At present, there is an outline, in order to clean up the Mona people, there is still a piece of puzzle missing, and the plan is a fairy world, the specific is undecided...... (To be continued......)
