"Shut up, it's my own private matter! Sister Xue raised her head and said a warning. It was the first time in many years that she had been lectured in person, and combined with the many other bad things in the past two days, the stimulation had the stimulating effect of concentrating the anger in her chest.

Shen Chao single-handedly pulled Sister Xue into his camp, so he knew Sister Xue's personal experience very well. Seeing Sister Xue's reaction like this, he knew that she was already unstable. But Shen Chao did not choose to avoid it, but chased after him and continued to preach, because this issue was related to the future of the expedition.

In almost every way, Sister Xue is a perfect warrior and a very good leader. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have her weaknesses. After being "spoiled" about her final ending in the game plot, Sister Xue has been keeping a knot in her heart and carefully covering it up.

In the plot, she, like countless others, is affected by the Reaper's indoctrination techniques, hallucinating and even becoming a Reaper slave. The outcome of the final war against the Reapers, too, is uncertain, and it seems that all efforts have been in vain.

Although these things still didn't happen to her, they still brought Yan zhòng's psychological blow, on the surface, she was not affected, but in fact, deep down she had a potential unconfident tendency towards her mental state.

This lack of self-confidence culminates when she realizes that she has been affected by Mara's Force Charm skill, on the one hand, she has to admit that her mind has been invaded and influenced by the other party, and on the other hand, her new self-esteem does not allow her to admit this fact to the outside world.

She carefully concealed her weaknesses, even going so far as to lie and conceal what really happened to hide the fact that she was under the influence of the Force and out of control. Such an attitude is dangerous in itself, especially given her status as a core member.

Every day, the expedition team faced unprecedented situations, and the reason why they were able to maintain a situation with low casualties was because they always insisted on seeking truth from facts. Never speculate and never let your guard down in front of any opponent.

As the top leader of the expedition, Shen Chao can accept the decline in the training level of the team members and the poor performance in battle, after all, no one can always be in the best condition. But he couldn't accept that his teammates were lying about a mission, for whatever reason. Core members like Sister Xue are no exception.

"It's not your private business. You are hiding the truth! Now you have to be honest about what really happened, otherwise it won't be long before the rest of the team will follow your example and make excuses for their failures......" Shen Chao pursued, also showing that he was not pressuring her.

"What do you want me to say, you must have guessed what happened. Sister Xue replied angrily, but her tone was not as impatient as she was just now.

"I want to hear you say it yourself, if you don't take the initiative to admit the existence of the problem, it will be meaningless for others to know the truth or not. ”

Under Shen Chao's questioning, Sister Xue finally compromised. She gave a detailed account of what happened before and after she lost control, and asked Shen Chao to help him keep it secret. According to her, she needs some time to sort out her love life. Especially with Liala's.

After all, the other party is already the expedition's most important contact on the Mass Effect plane, and this is not only her personal matter, but also may affect the future logistics supply chain. Naturally, Shen Chao agreed to help her keep it secret.

Of course, Shen Chao not only represents his personal commitment to secrecy, but also represents the assurance made by the entire expedition team. Soon, everyone in the expedition was told not to reveal the supernumerary guest brought back from the mission, namely Mara.

As for whether Sister Xue can solve the problem of stepping on two boats as she wishes, this is not the focus of Shen Chao's attention. Almost one-twentieth of the more than 1,000 members of the expedition had a discordant love life. As long as it doesn't affect their task schedule, Shen Chao won't interfere with the emotional lives of the team members.

After solving this problem. Shen Chao listened to Sister Xue's opinion on Vader, as the only two people in the expedition team who were willing to choose Vida as the spokesperson of the Star Wars plane, their opinions were also different at this time.

After experiencing Vida's arrogance up close, Sister Xue no longer recommended an alliance with Vida, although she had not completely denied the feasibility of an alliance with Vida, but she was no longer keen on this proposal.

After such a disappointing debriefing. Shen Chao decided to talk to Vinda himself to see if it was necessary for him to learn from his senior sister's adopted son to change his mind. At this time, Vader was undergoing a medical examination in the company of Luke.

Since his mechanical limbs have formed a symbiotic relationship with his own body, any treatment plan must take into account the problem of electronic interference. You can't just put him in the medical cabin for treatment like an ordinary person.

Shen Chao did not go in directly to interfere with the medical process, instead, he stayed in the monitoring room in the medical area for a while. Watch how Vinda chooses her own medical options. The doctors submitted two medical protocols to Vinda as planned.

It is worth noting that even in the medical area, Vader is always guarded by several heavily armed expedition members, which is both a fancy to him and a sign that the expedition team does not trust him. And this distrust goes both ways.

One of the two medical protocols was a comprehensive treatment and cosmetic plan, which focused on reconstructing Vader's lost limbs and aging body based on the expedition's medical cabin and regenerative potions.

Since metabolism takes time, this approach is time-consuming, and it is expected to take a long time to complete the entire project. Even if only the first stage of body reconstruction is completed, it will take nearly half a month.

The second option is relatively simple, only using medical nanomachine qì and stem cell repair technology to repair Vida's damaged lungs, and it only takes 3 hours to completely repair, and the whole process does not require anesthesia and will not have any side effects.

Although Luke's own father chose the former, Vader didn't seem to have cultivated mutual trust with the expedition, and he was even less willing to spend so much time. When faced with such an important matter as his own physical health, he had little confidence in outsiders, so he chose the latter option.

Seeing this choice, Shen Chao smiled, and then he left the monitoring room. Wait for the end of treatment. Vader's choice was exactly as he expected, and even the words he used before and after his choice were almost different from what he had made up in his mind.

This shows that Vader is not some brainless killer, and that he is probably just used to using violence to cover up his weaknesses. And for this kind of person, Shen Chao has accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with them, of course, he still needs to verify his guess. So he decided to meet Vader earlier.

He emptied the medical area ahead of time and waited here for Vader to finish his treatment. Three hours later, Vinda, who had undergone a special lung repair, walked out of the medical cabin on his own. He took off his helmet when he entered the medical module, and he used the oxygen mask that came with the medical module to breathe normally.

But now, when he walked out of the medical cabin, he no longer felt that he had difficulty breathing, the atrophy of his lungs that had plagued him for many years had completely disappeared, and he even felt that the artificial air in the cabin was slightly sweet!

Upon exiting the chamber, he felt like he had been given a new lease of life, though his limbs were still mechanical. The flesh is still mutilated. But he no longer felt the half-dead feeling he had before.

He couldn't wait to get out of the cabin where the medical pod was located, wanting to share his feelings with his son and see his own flesh and blood with his own eyes. But Luke was no longer here, and after walking out, he only saw Shen Chao sitting at the table outside, with a line of soldiers standing behind him.

"What about my son?" Vader asked in a low voice, and it was clear that he had restrained his emotions.

"I sent him somewhere else. Don't worry, he's safe. I just don't want him to influence our negotiations. Shen Chao replied and waved his hand. Motioned for Vader to sit down across from him.

With no other choice, Vader chose to sit down obediently. And he was ready to listen to Shen Chao's conditions, but he definitely couldn't imagine what kind of words Shen Chao would use to test his endurance, this was not a negotiation, just a psychological test prepared by Shen Chao temporarily.

"Do you want to live, Lord Vader?" Shen Chao's first question was offensive. Combined with the group of motionless team members behind him who were preparing to be executed, his words were even more eerie. Vader immediately frowned when he heard this, because he clearly felt the murderous aura in Shen Chao's words, but he didn't seem to be frightened at all.

"You won't kill me, though the Force isn't with me at this time. But I'm not blind yet, and I'm not a fool. If you're like those rebels who just want to kill me, you don't need to help me heal my lungs. Now, if you're really sincere, talk about something useful. You'll be useful enough to get me, tell me about it, and I'll do my best to cooperate with you. Vader replied confidently, but he did make a few compromises in his statement.

"Okay, let's talk something useful. My personal "war council" has just met, and most of them don't think you're a solid partner. And Shepard, who brought you back, didn't find any evidence to refute this claim. ”

"So, what reason do I have to keep you?" You have betrayed your own master, your own order, and killed countless people. It doesn't seem like your worth is dangerous. I can tell Luke that you just had complications in your treatment and unfortunately passed away. As for your daughter, Leah, I wish you were dead. You're just a murderer in her eyes......"

Shen Chao casually said nonsense, the Time and Space Council has not had a meeting for a while, although everyone's mainstream opinion is indeed not to cooperate with Vinda, but no one has to kill Vida, Shen Chao's only purpose is to artificially create survival pressure, so that Vida can reveal his true nature under the threat of his death. (To be continued......)

PS: First of all, I would like to thank you for the monthly pass of "bleue, moonlight and shadow, Death's guide to the underworld, breathe freely, the dawn of the five colors, James Five Wukong, Black Mountain, Iron Feather, kaguomei, and Shiranui Dance" and the "Words of the Precepts" for the rewards.

Originally, I went home late tonight and wasn't going to update, but I saw so many book friends who supported it, so I barely coded this chapter and sent it. Since the plot progressed beyond my earliest expectations, and the next book is already being planned, the later plot will be compressed and adjusted, and strive to end the book in the short term and open a new book. Details will be released at a later date
