"Bang!*2" A strong arm suddenly got stuck on the wall, shrouding Xie Yuan in the limited space.
"I want the truth!" Shepard directly pinned Xie Yuan to the bulkhead and stared at Xie Yuan.
…
It was already the third hour after completing the Novilia mission. After sending away the insect queen, Shepard came to a main control room, where a dying guy, Yaslov Tartaravs, was paralyzed. Gee is a supervisor.
The Russian supervisor struggled to describe a series of actions after discovering Queen Rachni's eggs, which basically supplemented Shepard's intelligence collection.
He prayed to Shepard to activate the neutron purification system immediately to deal with the raging insect swarm, otherwise it would be too late.
Shepard did not mess around, but first arranged for the evacuation of all people, and then came to the supervisor to ask for the destruction code to destroy the program.
But at this moment, the tentacles of a thunder-resistant soldier insect pierced the supervisor's chest at lightning speed. At the critical moment, it was Xie Yuan who pulled away and stabbed the out-of-control thunder to death with a sword. Knei soldiers.
Supervisors have to live because they have to accept procedural penalties—want to die if they do something wrong? no way!
After Shepard finally confirmed that it was safe, he pressed the neutron purification operation, and part of the insect swarm rushed into the main control room without exception.
But these numbers of soldiers and insects are already at the end of their strength, and there is nothing that can be done to them.
After completing the mission in this way, the ground team returned to the Central Research Station from the bus. It happened that the snowstorm was suspended, and then took the space shuttle back to Hanshan Port.
However, Xie Yuan had been carrying a huge cabinet on his back, and Shepard was acting as a guarantee. No one was allowed to inspect it, so Benicia was actually taken aboard the Normandy along with the Shepard ground team. .
…
However, not surprisingly, Benicia's appearance immediately sparked a fierce reaction from Ashley, who insisted on executing the matriarch at a work meeting.
Just like what Xie Yuan said before when he had a decisive battle with Benicia.
But Xie Yuan, who was about to fight Benicia to death at that time, has now become a conservative, and he firmly supports bringing Benicia to justice: "Ash, people cannot be resurrected after death, and now we must think about the living.
Benicia's brain has been manipulated by unknown circumstances to become so ruthless, and we'd better figure out why this is happening.
Moreover, handing over Benicia to the Asari government was also a favor we gave to the Citadel Council. "
"What kind of favor? I think you just--" Ashley was about to say something nonsense, but found that Xie Yuan stopped her with his eyes. Ashley could tell that Xie Yuan was already unhappy, so she stopped abruptly. .
Shepard still stepped forward to quell the argument. Xie Yuan's intention was very clear. Benicia, who was less harmful and seemed to be forced to collude with Saren and was manipulated physically and mentally, was returned to the Asari government in exchange for dealing with Saren. right of free disposal.
Although the three major members of the parliament have allowed Shepard to deal with Saren. However, Saren's cronies are all over the upper, middle and lower levels of the parliament. If Bao Qiu really can execute him, it is not impossible that someone will suddenly interfere with it.
Returning Benicia to the Asari government obviously not only takes care of the face of the Citadel Council, but also preserves the foundation of the Asari government - if nothing else, the status of a matriarch in the Asari government is almost the same. It is the treatment of a human head of state.
If it is not necessary, we should try our best to save it.
The favor obtained can also allow the Asari council members in the Citadel Council to withdraw from dealing with Saren, and the Salarian council members who naturally stay out of the matter - the Turian council members, even if they really have something to hide, it will be of no use.
What was confirmed after the meeting was to continue collecting intelligence and to understand Saren's destination after obtaining the coordinates of the "Miao" repeater.
Then it was time for Shepard to report to the Council.
Xie Yuan didn't know what feedback the council gave Shepard, but Xie Yuan watched with an aunt's smile as Kaiden and Liana entered the confidential room together.
In fact, Ashley, Rex, or Gallas, who have not yet completely gone down, seem to be standing outside the door of the confidential room watching the show - who is the captain's last bedmate, and who will have a "what a pity" look on his face. It’s not you, stay with me until the end." He walked out of the confidential room with an expression on his face.
They didn't have to wait too long for the answer. The first guy to come out with a dejected look was Caiden.
Shepard actually wants to try something new, try an Asari girl? !
Hahaha! Xie Yuan grabbed his old comrade Kaiden and patted his shoulder. He said nothing but said everything.
"Come on, let's have a drink!" Xie Yuan strode downstairs with Kaiden in his arms.
This time, Kaiden didn’t resist the proposal too much.
…
After drinking for two hours, Kaiden was sent to the bed in the mobile dormitory to sober up after being drunk. The other staff also understood and helped take care of him.
After all, everyone knows that Captain Kaiden is lovelorn...hahahaha!
Then Xie Yuan, who was walking back to his workplace alone, was suddenly caught by Shepard, who had been lying in wait for a long time.
Then the scene in Bi Dong happened.
…
"Hey! Shepard, you rejected Kaiden, don't harass me!" Xie Yuan gently tried to push away the resisting hand, but found that he couldn't push it open with too much force, and he couldn't use brute force, so he had to give up and then He warned impatiently, "Also, you are too close like this. You should treat Liana this way, not me."
"You have hidden too much information, I need you to reveal it!"
Shepard refused to let go and would rather bear the notoriety than give up. "I've helped you enough. I'm not grateful at all. You have to give me an explanation."
"What are you doing for me?!" Xie Yuan looked confused. "It was Anderson who pulled me on board, not you. What do you want me to tell you? Why should I tell you?"
"In the two mission reports, I didn't involve you at all. I didn't reveal your abnormality to anyone."
Shepard finally let go of the restraints on his arms, pointed at Xie Yuan and said: "Don't forget, you want to whitewash two individual heavy weapons, which were once the military property of the Fifth Fleet."
"Nonsense!" Xie Yuan didn't dare to misidentify this person, "This is from Ilanus Risk Control Company..."
"I believe you are a big-headed ghost!" Shepard spat back. "Others don't know, but I don't know. How could the ammunition and jet configuration be used by mercenaries from the World God Galaxy? They are clearly from the Star Alliance. Commando military ammunition!
What you learned from the Akuz incident that year also included a Firestorm, right? They are all the property of the Star Alliance Navy, and they have been hidden by you until today! Do you know your guilt? ! "
"I..." Xie Yuan really didn't expect this detail. Shepard could see it at a glance. He took a deep breath and said, "What do you want? Take me to jail?"
"I really want to! You keep saying how bad Star Alliance treats you, but your hands are actually not clean either."
Shepard crossed his arms and demanded: "But I know that your matter is not that simple, and Star Alliance does owe you something.
But it is an indisputable fact that you illegally possess the property of the Star Alliance Marine Corps, but I can handle it flexibly. "
"What's the elastic method?" Xie Yuan hugged his chest indifferently. It's really embarrassing to be here today, but it's a good thing to talk.
"You bring Firestorm to this ship, and then I will approve them as heavy weapons accidentally obtained and use them here."
Shepard drew a circle with his finger, "When the time comes, this ship will nominally return to the 63rd Wing of the Fifth Fleet. If you hand it over to me, it means it will return to the Star Alliance. I will not report it."
Xie Yuan was unhappy when he heard this: "After all, you just want two heavy weapons from me."
"Then will you give it or not? If you don't, we'll do business on an official basis." Shepard fully carried out his gangster style and said, "It's up to you."
"Okay, okay! I'll give it!" Xie Yuan also gave a helpless smile, "Oh, the first level of the official is crushing people to death. You know, if I hadn't saved the situation, I wouldn't have taken it out to give you an excuse!"
Romance
"If it weren't for the fact that you saved the field with a grenade launcher, I wouldn't have wanted to protect you!" Shepard retorted with eyes wide open, "Do you think the Star Alliance Intelligence Department didn't investigate this? If I don't suppress it now, If you get a crucial promotion in the future, Star Alliance will give you a break to see if you feel sick?"
"Okay, okay, I accept this favor from you!" Xie Yuan also reluctantly agreed. You are not afraid of thieves stealing some things, but you are afraid that thieves will remember them.
If the Star Alliance Intelligence Department really knows about him... it's really hard to guard against it when it comes to being careful. Now that Shepard is suppressing it, this black material can be offset.
Then Shepard pushed further: "Then I can exchange this favor for your truth now. You must tell me the information you know, and you cannot refuse."
"You - you... okay," Xie Yuan also paused a few times, then pointed at Shepard for a moment before weakly putting down his finger, "I promise you, I can say what I can, but you can't say what I don't want to say. Force me to say it, or you will be kicked down."
"Okay!" Shepard agreed readily.
Then she made a decision that made Xie Yuanlei's heart burnt on the outside and tender on the inside: "I'll call everyone here right away to listen."
"What?!" Xie Yuan refused to agree upon hearing this, "This is not good news, why should we all share it?"
"This is a disaster involving the galaxy, and everyone on board is qualified to listen." Shepard insisted, "You must listen to me on this matter."
"But... isn't Kaiden drunk?" Xie Yuan pointed to the dormitory, "Why don't I just tell you, or maybe next time!"
"Actually, I'm fine!"
Then Xie Yuan heard a voice that he least wanted to hear at the moment. Kaiden appeared in the corner, and although his face was rosy, he was not drunk at all.
Didn’t this just take two hours of drinking?
Xie Yuan's face turned from white to red, from red to green...
"You're cheating on me!" Xie Yuanqi yelled.
