"how are things?"
In the specially designed cafe of Arcturus Space Station, Xie Yuan took a sip of coffee - well, it was so fake. He frowned and swallowed, then looked at Caiden, who was still immersed in grief, and asked.
"It's still the same. I'm currently on vacation and I'm seeing a psychiatrist." Hearing Xie Yuan's question, Kaiden forced a smile on his lips and replied calmly, "Fortunately, the psychiatrist told me that I am already in the fourth period. Yes, the progress is very fast.”
It's pretty fast! Xie Yuan complained in his mind that he had already heard that Shepard had pronounced him dead for more than three weeks. Including the one-week search and rescue period, it was almost a month.
However, Kaiden's words may just be to comfort Xie Yuan. He has a deep crush on Shepard in his heart. This kind of sadness can only be hidden, but it cannot be eliminated all at once.
"That's good. Get to work as soon as possible. You are an excellent officer and there are many things waiting for you to do."
However, complaints are complaints, and Xie Yuan still gently encouraged Kaiden to get rid of his sadness as soon as possible and devote himself to a new job.
"I will." Kaiden let out a long breath and looked at Xie Yuan, "What about you? I heard that your dragon has never been seen, and almost no one can determine your whereabouts. What are you busy with?"
"I have been busy with the tasks of the Ghost Headquarters, helping to investigate illegal events in certain galaxies, and pursuing some wanted criminals who are on the blacklist of the Citadel Council... There are quite a few, and I am very busy."
Although Xie Yuan's main consciousness is no longer in Mass Effect, he has slightly split some of his soul fragments and attached them to his homemade bionic man - acting as a stand-in to complete the tasks issued by the Citadel.
Otherwise, if he disappeared every day, he would have attracted attention.
"That's great. If only she could be as cautious as you."
Kaiden was relieved that Xie Yuan could act so cautiously and successfully avoid such a tragedy as being killed by the Collectors - although this inevitably made him think of Shepard, and his face became gloomy again.
"I will avenge this for her - this matter is not over yet." Xie Yuan reassured Kaiden.
"How to repay?" Kaiden felt that Xie Yuan was a little fanciful, "You don't even have a ship."
"..." Xie Yuan was simply convinced, why did everything involve him not having a boat - he already had a boat, he was just refitting it!
However, he also knew that Caiden also cared too much - he was also his friend, and he really didn't want to see someone he knew encounter something unexpected again.
"Don't worry, I already know who the enemy is? Now I just want to find their traces." Xie Yuan comforted, "I found it. I have plenty of ways to contact the fleet to deal with them."
"What are they?" Kaiden suddenly grabbed Xie Yuan's hand and asked sharply.
"You don't know?" Xie Yuan looked at Kaiden in surprise, "She didn't tell you?"
Caiden, who realized that he had lost his composure, immediately let go of his hand, sat back and apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't receive much information about the enemy who attacked her - I heard it was called "Collector", but he was very lonely, and others There’s less information. How much do you know about them?”
"Not too many - but some are too confidential," Xie Yuan showed an embarrassed look, "I can't tell you without authorization, please forgive me."
"Of course!" Kaiden suppressed his excitement and nodded calmly, then looked at Xie Yuan with burning eyes, "Don't make it easy for them, you know? They must pay the price!"
"Of course!" Xie Yuan agreed, "This is also what I expect."
In addition, Xie Yuan also learned a lot about the crew of the Normandy from Kaiden's explanation.
Presley, the navigator and temporary first mate, was killed in the attack.
The driver, Lieutenant Jack Morrow, was pulled into a military court because he was too aggressive in his statement and caused Lieutenant Colonel Shepard to lose contact. However, he was eventually found not guilty, but he finally resigned and went to drive a cargo ship.
The krogan Lex has been out of contact for a while, but it was recently heard that he has returned to Tutshenka, but his intentions are unknown.
Touareg man Galax Vakarian returns to C-Sec Police Station in Citadel to resume his duties as an officer.
The asari Dr. Liana returned to Thessia, but the specific actions are unknown because she has not contacted Caiden - she is still jealous of Caiden's crush on her Shepadha.
After the quarian Kelly returned to normal, she went to her hometown, the quarian survival fleet - she had received a sufficient amount of wandering gifts, and she could have gone back.
The whereabouts of old colleague Ashley Williams are also uncertain, because she was secretly recruited by Colonel Anderson, who should now be called Congressman Anderson, and is unknown. In fact, if Caiden himself had not wanted to see a psychiatrist, he would have been Anderson was drafted away.
But he has decided to respond to the call after the diagnosis is normal.
After bidding farewell to Kaiden, Xie Yuan continued to take the passenger station spaceship, changed a few faces and ID cards several times, and secretly returned to Omega a week later.
Omega is bad in every way, but one thing is good - there is a lot of information and it is messy, and you can get access to breaking news that is difficult to obtain immediately through other formal channels.
The premise is that you can distinguish the authenticity of this piece of information - and coincidentally, Xie Yuan, who has ghost authority, and Ada, an intermediate agent of the Shadow Broker, have the ability to distinguish the authenticity of the information.
Ada went on a mission, so Xie Yuan sometimes helped to take care of her secret intelligence terminal.
So Xie Yuan discovered an incredible news - the Qingyang mercenaries had obtained the body of an important figure, which would be received by Tazik in the near future.
The Shadow Broker asked for this information to be hidden - hidden means that all relevant people who know the information should be secretly executed.
small book booth
AI Julian has assigned this task to the Shadow Broker Action Team - it has been successfully completed.
But now that this information has been learned by Xie Yuan, Xie Yuan naturally has to make some inferences about the current situation to obtain the truth behind this information.
Tazik is an extremely strong salarian who has definitely undergone bio-enhancement. He's the Shadow Broker's own killer - he's only activated when the Broker really wants something or takes someone's life. And without exception, Tazik will get the results he wants from the Shadow Brokers.
In other words, this corpse is so important that the Shadow Brokers are determined to obtain it, and there is only one important person who died recently - Jenny Shepard, who died just a month ago.
The Shadow Brokers want to get hold of Jenny Shepard's body? !
Necrophilia? Cloning a person to live as an outlet for sexual pleasure?
Realizing that the Shadow Broker would definitely have bad plans for Shepard's body, Xie Yuan felt disgusted - death is like a lamp going out, and Xie Yuan would never allow anyone to abuse Shepard's body.
But the question is, how to obtain specific information about this obviously black transaction?
He doesn't have any spies in the Qingyang mercenary group - Curze and Angron are just Qingyang's recruits now, and they have already left Omega and gone to Qingyang's training planet.
But soon, Xie Yuan's frown relaxed.
Although the Shadow Broker hid the information, this kind of hiding could only deal with the little guys, not the big tigers, and there were not only tigers on Omega... there was also an iceberg on it.
Elia T. Locke, owner of Afterlife Bar, the Omega Queen cannot be completely blocked from information.
Otherwise, she can die.
The discovery of another incident also confirmed his suspicion.
The terminal displayed a new message: Dr. Liana T. Suni took a passenger ship from Thessia to the Omega Center for an unknown purpose.
"Hey, Smurfette ran to the Valley of the Wicked?!"
Seeing this message, Xie Yuan burst into laughter.
"Things are getting more and more interesting."
