"I am a soldier, and soldiers must obey orders unless they don't want to do it." Xie Yuan explained to Shepard behind him without looking back, "And I also want to get a pension."
"Haha, you are really..." Shepard couldn't help but almost laughed out loud. If the video he posted was true, humanity might be destroyed in a short time. He could still pay attention to his pension. !
Sure enough, people cannot be compared with each other, so Kaiden and Ashley would not have such old-fashioned ideas.
"Don't worry! Today, people with different ideas do not need to destroy each other's bodies to achieve consensus. As for people with inconsistent interests..." Shepard looked at Xie Yuan and raised his eyes and teased, "If you are really right, It’s not good for you, are you a person who will sit back and wait for death?”
"of course not."
"I think so too. Then why did Anderson risk the Normandy being crashed and invite you on board?"
Shepard then sent a document to Xie Yuan via wireless transmission, "This should lower your alertness."
Xie Yuan immediately opened it, and it turned out to be his official transfer order archive. One side of this archived document was @Star Alliance Navy Personnel Department and at the same time, it was also copied to the officer of the Personnel Department of the Pan-Asian Consular Department. The officer also gave a read reply and attached a dedicated electronic signature.
But this only means that Pan Asia does not object to this personnel appointment, but it cannot guarantee whether he can be rescued immediately if something happens to him... Forget it, if you continue to argue, you will completely offend others.

So Xie Yuan, who pretended to be relieved, immediately "breathed a sigh of relief" and said to Shepard, "Then I'll feel a lot more at ease."
"No, he doesn't feel at ease at all. He just doesn't want to offend anyone, so he pretends to feel at ease."
The premonition passed through his mind for a moment, but Shepard immediately became a talkative person: "It seems that you have taught yourself swordsmanship, but commandos often use guns. How is your marksmanship?" ?”
"It's not bad. In the entire 200 Squadron, my marksmanship is second only to Ashley." Xie Yuan still has some say in marksmanship, and he is also interested in correcting Shepard's perception of himself. "I gradually started practicing swordsmanship because I recently acquired this good sword. In fact, double swordsmanship is my major."
"Oh?! Second only to Ashley? Her actual shooting ability is not low. I will have to find her to verify it."
Shepard looked at Xie Yuan in disbelief, and by the way proposed a challenge to a round when he had time: "Let's do it! When we get to the guard area of the Citadel, do you want to go to the gun studio to try it out when you have time?"
"No problem!" Xie Yuan agreed. "Although I tend to use swords, my shooting skills have not fallen behind. I'm welcome to test them at any time."
"Then it's settled!" Shepard pointed at Xie Yuan, then looked at the knife in his hand, showing surprise, "What a strange material. It's not like the recently developed monocrystalline silicon on the market. Molecular swords seem to be different from our traditional metal swords...the style is also quite different."
"Good taste! Lieutenant Colonel, this is indeed an extraordinary sword." Xie Yuan also pulled out the sword very generously and laid it sideways for Shepard to watch, "because this is a sword made by alien craftsmen. , it uses a lot of minerals produced on other planets and is made through special forging."
Although Shepard didn't understand swords, she still picked it up carefully and admired it. One thing she admitted was that it was indeed a good sword, with a cold light and cold light.
Although it looks ordinary on the outside, Shepard, as a person who has been struggling in the sea of blood, clearly felt the coldness of the entire sword. She handed the sword back to Xie Yuan and commented, "This The sword seems to have drunk a lot of enemy blood."
Although Shepard felt fond of it as soon as she got it in her hands, she was mainly a soldier who fought with a gun and did not use the sword as frequently as Xie Yuan.
So she quickly suppressed her feelings and gave it back to Xie Yuan, but she still wanted to hear more about the origin of the sword.
"This is the sword that belongs to an alien assassin. She came to trouble me, and then I killed her. I got her sword."
After putting the sword back into the storage box, Xie Yuan's direct answer made Shepard frown a little. How could he express it so quickly and easily?
It’s too concise and to the point.
"That's it?" Shepard didn't understand. "You didn't report it to your superiors? Then you launched an investigation into the killer's background and tracked down the mastermind?"
"It's not necessary," Xie Yuan answered calmly, "I stayed in Yidian for a long time, and things were very complicated, so I felt very depressed.
Having some killers is also the best psychological adjustment for me. Otherwise, always working monotonously is not good for my psychological development.
As for the mastermind behind the scenes... As long as they find out that the killers they send each time die in mysterious circumstances, they will naturally put me on the killer blacklist later, so I can be clean again. "
"This is wrong of you." Shepard subconsciously criticized Xie Yuan.
"What's wrong?" Xie Yuan asked, "From 2181 to now, I am still alive. This is the biggest right thing, and the "masterminds" will no longer harass me, and everyone will have a bright future.
Of course, the unlucky ones are the killers. They said they were dead, right? There are no bodies. Are you still alive? But there was no news again.
But who told them to do this? "
"Well, it's hard for me to comment on your behavior,"
Shepard understood the key point immediately after thinking about it. If it is true that the living person cannot be seen and the dead body cannot be seen, then even if he says so, he cannot be sure whether these things have happened, so it is not easy to arrange an investigation team to conduct a secret investigation. .
And judging from Xie Yuan's calm attitude, even if there is a killer, he probably won't be disposing of the body nearby, so everything becomes the previous question: "Has he done these things?"
The secret hidden in him is just like this sword, mysterious and unexpected.
But now that we are on her ship, we can no longer do this, so Shepard secretly "reminded" Xie Yuan: "Next time we fight, I hope you will cooperate more with the team's cooperative actions, okay?"
"Yes, sir!" Xie Yuan responded directly with a set of military salutes.
Shepard nodded, and at the same time she looked at Xie Yuan and asked, "Second Lieutenant Xie, have you seen what the Citadel looks like?"
I had never seen this before. Xie Yuan shook his head honestly.
"Then follow me to the porthole of the cab!" Shepard said, taking Xie Yuan's hand and pulling him to the spacecraft elevator without any explanation.
"Hey..." Xie Yuan didn't have time to say anything, and his hand was held tightly. The strength of this female man's hand was really amazing. Xie Yuan, who couldn't break free for a while, could only follow obediently.
Then he followed Shepard all the way up to the ICC area, okay! I saw everything that should be seen and what shouldn't be seen.
Shepard let go of Xie Yuan's hand after reaching the top floor. After all, there were many employees in the ICC area, and inappropriate behavior could easily cause misunderstandings.
But behind the scenes of keeping calm, Xie Yuan was rubbing his wrists crazily... This woman is so petty, she used so much force!
However, now that he has reached the ICC area, Xie Yuan no longer worries about gains and losses, but has returned to his truest expression at the moment: peaceful, flamboyant but restrained.
Shepard was really relieved now, because at this moment Xie Yuan truly showed that copper pea-like existence that caused extreme headaches and helplessness to the three most powerful forces in mankind.
Everyone who was busy on the ICC couldn't help but take a second look at the impressive second lieutenant crew member who was following Shepard. They still didn't know when such a strong man would come on board.
Ashley, who had been near the side of the ship for a long time, was stunned. Why did the second lieutenant, who was an ordinary and humble man a few minutes ago, suddenly become so powerful?
This aura doesn't even compare to Shepard's!
Caiden on the side was not surprised. This was the best assaulter of the Fifth Fleet four years ago. Even if he was just a non-commissioned officer at the time, he could not tolerate the irritable existence of a rookie officer.
Now is called returning to nature... It seems that Shepard has temporarily persuaded Xie Yuan, and the Lieutenant Colonel's methods are still the same as before!
"Kayden!"
"Yuan!"
The two held each other's hands alternately. Xie Yuan still looked at his old comrade with nostalgia: "We can serve together again. I hope your skills have not deteriorated."
"It's a pity that I'm not the strongest superpower on this ship now." Unexpectedly, Kaiden exposed his shortcomings first. After letting go, he stood on Shepard's side, "I'm just playing with you." He still has the ability to walk for three minutes in a simulated confrontation."
"As a pure superpower, Kaiden couldn't even last three minutes under Xie Yuan?" Shepard was surprised, but his face remained normal.
Xie Yuan looked at Shepard, "Are you also a person with powers?"
"Yeah, I'm a Vanguard," Shepard admitted.
Vanguards are extremely powerful combatants, able to combine the powers of psychics and soldiers into one. They have access to many weapons, armor, and creature powers. Suitable for the task of quickly attacking the enemy.
But Pioneer has a special skill, which Xie Yuanting is interested in.
But now is not the time to discuss combat professions and cooperation, because they have already arrived at the Citadel.
The most dazzling political and cultural center in the entire galaxy!
