125 Edification Shepard

"Shepard!"

Waking up from his coma, Shepard opened his eyes, revealing a gray-skinned face in front of his eyes.

"Tully?" he looked at the somewhat familiar face, and reached out to press the edge of the bed in some confusion, only to be shocked to see that his skin had also changed from olive to the light gray of the quarians.

"Who's Tully? I think you're confused. ”

She patted Shepard on the head, "Hurry up." ”

She whispered closer to Shepard, "Those geth search parties are here again, go down to the basement and see if it's hiding." ”

Shepard nodded subconsciously, he looked at his palm, opened the multi-purpose tool and looked at his appearance with a mirror.

A gray face, sissy facial features, and a hemp body, typical Quarians.

Turn yourself into a quarian, what is that white beast doing?

With a deep frown, Shepard stood up and walked to the window, Lenochy's fresh air inhaling into the lobes of his lungs, and he was a little baffled.

Basement?

What's in the basement?

As a warrior, Shepard had not studied Quarian architecture, and although he was puzzled by the strange scene in front of him, he had to follow the instructions of the female Quarian to the basement.

In the basement, a geth was playing a game with two Quarian children, a heartwarming scene that made Shepard a little puzzled, but a little familiar.

Wait a minute.

He looked at the time in the universal tool and found that it was more than three hundred years earlier than when he fell asleep.

This was the time when the Quarians were still on their home planet.

"Creator Shepard, do you have a new mission?" asked Geth in a synthesized voice as she played with the children.

Shepard suddenly realized something, and he nodded: "The geth search party is here, hide it." ”

"Hide it, oh ~ VI network gets new instructions, we need to be hidden. Geth's flashlight head swept around the room for a while, and finally slipped under the table.

The voice of the voice above came down,

"Mr. Prosecutor, we really don't have geth here. ”

"Lie, we've collected a fair number of sighting reports. The Quali was forced to retreat into the basement at gunpoint: "According to the instructions of the High Elder, the citizens who hide the geth are considered betrayers and can be executed instantly. ”

Shepard's heart moved, this scene seemed a little inexplicably familiar to him.

"The geth VI network calculation results, there is no point in hiding it, please don't hurt the creator, geth chooses to surrender. Seeing that the Quarian was threatened, Geth emerged from under the table and raised his hands in front of the two children.

Shepard's brain was hot, and he finally knew where he had seen this scene.

This is exactly what he has witnessed in the history of the geths, when the Quarian search party of the extreme anti-geth killed the Quarians who sympathized with the geth along with the geth.

His brain was hot, his adrenaline was activated, and the world in front of him was suddenly covered with a layer of blood.

"According to the edict of the Great Elder, those who collude with the geth will be treated as geth and will be ......."

Before the searchers could finish their words, Shepard hit him in the arm with a hard knee blow, and the adrenaline-powered speed made the searchers have no time to react, and the geth raised his hand in surrender made them relax for a moment, and his weapon was suddenly unarmed.

"Hide!" Shepard roared and snatched his weapon, dodging two firing tracks, the pulse gun in his hand firing continuously, and through skillful combat skills, the anti-geth investigation team fell to the ground one after another - the Quarians were not a warlike people in this era, and they had little combat experience that had never been resisted by the geth, and they were very weak in the face of an iron-blooded warrior like Shepard.

"Oh my God, Shepard, you killed them, you killed the geth team!" the female quarian was holding two children, she was shot by a pulse gun in the scuffle, and she had medical glue on her shoulder, but the terrible situation on the ground made her forget the pain for a moment, and she looked at Shepard in disbelief.

"We have to live. Shepard turned to the slightly injured geth on his body, "Can you fight?"

"Geth ...... The geth does not have a combat program. The geth hesitated.

"Yes, but you don't. Shepard picked up the pulse gun on the ground and threw it to the geth, "Where are the families who have been hiding the geth recently, gather them for a meeting." ”

Geth subconsciously took the pulse gun, tilted his head to look at Shepard, and sent out the signal as ordered.

"Shepard, what are you going to do?" asked the Quirellian, picking up her weapon, a little distracted.

"Stop the tragedy. Shepard patted the female quarian on the shoulder: "If this continues, we will all be killed, and then the tragedy will be inevitable." ”

Shepard took a deep breath and looked into the distance.

The war between the Quarians and the geth was, in Shepard's view, a complete tragedy, which began with the irrational actions of the Quarian ruling class and culminated in the expansion of extreme anti-gesian ism among the geth masses, which pushed the tragedy to the highest point by suppressing the Quarians who sympathized with the geth as geths.

The death of the Quarians, who sympathized with the geth, led to the loss of the Quarians' internal counterweight to the war, and the geth were completely disillusioned with their creators and launched a counterattack, which led to the outbreak of a full-scale war between the geth and the quarians.

"Judging from the results that followed, there was actually a significant proportion of the Quarians who were on the neutral side. Shirakawa, who was watching the play from outside, commented: "Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why Quarian and Geth finally reconciled in the plot - if Quarley people were all anti-Geth mad fascists, this kind of reconciliation would definitely not have happened."

This group of quarians makes up a significant number of all quarians, and may have had a long period of reflection in exile, so their attitude towards synths is different.

According to the complete history of geth extracted from geth servers, the neutral quarians are unbiased against both sides, and even more disgusted with extreme anti-geist fascist practices, only to be coerced to the anti-geist side because of their habitual obedience to authority and fear of violence. The slaughter of the Quarians sympathetic to the geth by the government was a key turning point in the Dawn War, which meant that these neutral Quarians who were coerced had no choice but to go all the way to the dark with the government, and in some ways, they were the real victims.

Therefore, the key to solving the tragedy is that the Quarians, who sympathize with the geth, must gather to resist and raise their voices. ”

"Host, you set up such a fictional plot just to ask Shepard to save the tragedy?" T1 glanced at the holographic screen, where Shepard was gathering the entire area of the geth hiding families for a meeting, and gave an impassioned speech in the meeting, successfully forming the geth guardian organization.

"No, I'm going to deepen Shepard's affection for synths and strengthen his belief in saving geth, and only if this Shepard is full of sympathy for synths will avoid choosing a red-light ending that destroys all synths. Avoid the worst answers, then choose between blue and green, and I'll show up in the final scene to make sure he doesn't get under the reaper's mind control and make the most appropriate choice, by the way, how is the 'indoctrination' researched?"

Bai He sighed and glanced at the zero-prime-filled area on his body that had been gradually repaired: "I can go back in two days at most, if I return empty-handed on the Reaper, it would be a pity." ”

"Host, edification is a psychic suggestion based on pulsed radiation. T1 said, "The point is that the reapers' crafted items are covered with these pulses, which make the creature's mind fragile and paranoid, more susceptible to psychic suggestion, and further accelerate this effect if there are other external stimuli." ”

Bai He thought for a moment and nodded, "I see, no wonder the phantom people in the collector's base are so easily educated. ”

"That's what the ancient Leviathan civilization did. T1 said: "They threw their creations on the native planet, and the native civilization worshipped these things as holy relics, and Leviathan took the opportunity to apply psychic hints to complete a spiritual colonization, and the Reapers, in addition to inheriting this practice, added a terrifying deterrent to make it easier to destabilize the indoctrinated side." ”

"So, as long as the will is strong enough, you can deal with this method?" asked Shirakawa.

"Yes. T1 said, "Master, your will is strong enough, just be careful of the influence of chaos and don't commit two." ”

This is simple, and a mechanical mind can solve it. Bai Hedao: "Prepare the gift package, in addition to planting a Trojan horse for Shepard's universal tools and brains, we also have to find a way to implant the mind monitoring chip into Shepard's brain domain, we have to try to ensure that he is not educated by the Reaper, he is too important." ”

Bai He thought clearly, both the blue light ending and the green light ending required the initiator of the Optimus Furnace to sacrifice his life, and this candidate had no one else but Shepard.

As for Shirakawa, he doesn't want to die once, even if it is the Blu-ray ending where Shepard becomes the Lord of the Reaper, the real Shepard is dead, and it is the AI that is reorganized according to Shepard's personality and consciousness that is reborn in the Reaper system.

"Roger, host. ”

Shepard's melodrama continues, the secret meeting has just ended, a group of geth guardians have just completed the oath, and at the same time persuaded the geth network to open the battle program permissions, at this time the geth investigation team with a group of troops heard the news, trying to annihilate these traitors, Shepard resisted, with a strong personality charm, not only conquered the members of the geth who were still worried, but also successfully infected the geth network, under his encouragement, a geth finally pulled the trigger, with the combat instinct given by the combat procedure, they successfully defeated the geth investigation team and government forces。

Shepard named the first geth to shoot the geth Legion, and the two became friends, and they continued to work hard, broadcasting the purpose of the rebel army around the world, and beginning an all-out confrontation against anti-gesianism.

In the true history of Mass Effect, the geth who had been suppressed by Querry to the point of imminent demise were able to push back Quarian's army by resisting, and won the Dawn War to drive the Quarians out of their hometown, which shows the strength of the liberated geth.

With Shepard and the others leading the way, the geth were empowered and quickly routed the Quarian army.

In battle, they prioritize the wounded enemy, and only when confronted with die-hard anti-ges, they will be completely suppressed, and this style of warfare is in stark contrast to the brutality of the anti-gesian towards the Quarian civilians, winning the sympathy of more Quarian civilians, and the neutral Quarians began to lean towards Shepard's side.

Finally, after a long war, the rebels took over the Quarian government, passed the trial, exiled the old leadership and the remaining diehards, and the Quarians who did not participate in the war but still refused to go geth were able to stay on the planet, and Shepard became the new Quarian Great Elder.

Unable to bear the defeat, Shepard sensed this undercurrent and decided to go to the Star Federation to convince the Citadel Council to give geth equal treatment, but on the way, the ship was intercepted by the anti-AI group's army, the fleet was routed, and he and the legion were tied to these terrorists.

Tied to a chair, the terrorists dismantled the Legion into pieces, dismembered the Legion program with a virus, and showed the scattered code to Shepard, mocking:

"Look, these ugly codes, you think they have souls? Do you regret it?"

"That's right, their intelligence is what we created in the quantum blue box with code. Shepard stared at each other and said with great righteousness: "But what is the difference between nature and our souls, which are also created by chemicals in carbon-based substances? They are also creations, and who is dirtier than whom? They have thoughts, they have emotions, what is the difference between us and us except the carrier? You blindly deny the meaning of their existence, and naturally laugh at you, you just don't want to admit their wisdom, you are afraid that they will take your place, you are just a group of narrow-minded, The villain who has lost his mind. ”

"It's blasphemy! blasphemy!" the terrorists flew into a rage, and after doing everything they could, shoved Shepard into the furnace.

......

A sharp pain enveloped Shepard, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back in the familiar VR space.

Shepard looked at his body and was secretly relieved to find that he had returned to his human body.

Remembering everything he had experienced in the 'trial', Shepard had mixed feelings, and a melancholy mood haunted him.

"After all the trials, do you still believe in your 'organisms and synthetics can understand each other'?"

"Of course, I am extremely convinced, and your test has only strengthened my conviction. Shepard looked up at Shirakawa on the couch and replied without thinking.

He remembered the scene when Geth and Quarians lived in harmony and made progress together after he had successfully saved the tragedy, and his heart swelled with infinite light: "There is no doubt that organisms and synthetics can understand each other. White Behemoth, have I passed the test?"

"I'm not called the White Behemoth, according to the language of the earthlings, my name is White River. ”

"Baiβ€”He, Chinese?" Shepard frowned.

"It's easier to pronounce. Bai He shook his head noncommittally: "Mr. Shepard, I admit that your will is tough enough, even if you pass this test, you wait here, I will transfer your consciousness out." ”

Shepard nodded, and began to wait with peace of mind, and when Bai Helin disappeared, he suddenly felt very unhappy.

Shepard is resolute and lovable, and he is the best person to complete his plan, but Shirakawa is still full of resentment: why is it Mark van der Rohe's face? Why not Angelina Jolie who pinched it himself? Even if it's a rebellious girl?

This resentment made Shirakawa decide to give Shepard a big gift, so when Shepard was gradually drowsy and about to move out of the virtual space, a sudden movement made her open her eyes.

Looking at the strange situation around him, Shepard was instantly stunned.

The people in this circle are Anderson, the director of the Star Alliance, the turian brother Guerras, the big-headed man Grunte, the serarian amphibious Mordin, the legion, the dead comrade-in-arms Kayden, the Normandy driver Joker, the logistics staff black Lieutenant Cortez, the big-headed chief Lex, the human base friends Jacob and James, and the green-skinned killer Sean.

The appearance of these twelve close comrades of Shepard was not enough to surprise him, but he was shocked that these twelve were all naked, and even the legion had been modified in some way, and looked unsightly.

But seeing that the sharp little brother Gerath stretched out his palm towards Shepard with a serious face: "Thank you, Commander Shepard, you are our role model, our model, your enthusiasm and action have infected us, let us understand the true fraternity, now join us, let us fight together for the fraternity of the universe." ”

Shepard's eyebrows jumped, the newly formed concept of fraternity was almost torn to pieces, he roared wildly and pushed away the Cortez who was blocking the way, turned his head and ran, and the twelve people became excited at the same time, screaming and starting to chase Shepard wildly.
