Two days later, the Afterlife Club.
This is the center of Omega, the palace of Elia T. Locke, and the largest gold-selling den in Omega.
And Xie Yuan had to order a 300-point glass of additive-free purified water in this expensive seat, while staring intently at the Asari dancer dancing wantonly on the central dance floor.
But if you look at Xie Yuan up close, you will find that his eyes are out of focus and he did not notice the hot scene in the ballroom at all.
Because at this time, while his ears were enduring a lot of roaring noise, he also had to listen attentively to the conversation between Liana and a Drel named Faeron ten meters away.
The Drel are a rare species - they are a subsidiary race of the Hanar - and the Hanar look like floating jellyfish with extended tentacles. They saved some Drel mothers who were on the verge of collapse. Refugees from the Star.
But it is a pity that this man named Feren has a very sensitive sense of counter-reconnaissance. After successfully connecting with Liana, he stopped revealing any useful information and only agreed to find another secluded place to talk.
This made Xie Yuan very suspicious. Did this guy named Faeron actually want to trick Liana, who was new to society, into seeing goldfish by revealing information about Shepard?
Fortunately, Liana was inexperienced in dealing with it. When she entered Omega, even though she was on alert, Xie Yuan still secretly launched a transmitter with a positioning function.
However, Xie Yuan no longer had to follow Liana and the Drell man named Feren to monitor what he already knew.
He chose to stand up directly, then climbed upstairs and walked to the door of the private room. When a Batarian bodyguard pointed a gun at him and claimed that "this is Elia's exclusive room, only those who are invited can enter." A photo.
This is a close-up frontal photo of Elia T. Locke, taken by Xie Yuan with a cornea camera the last time he met her.
This is the private photo of Queen Omega. If her personal bodyguard dares to remain indifferent even if her boss's private photo leaks out, then he can go to the fuel processing plant to make fuel raw materials tomorrow.
Seeing this photo, the Batarian bodyguard did not dare to mess around. He could only put away his gun and asked: "What's the matter with you?"
"I met the Queen last time, and this is not my face." Xie Yuan pointed to his face wrapped in a bionic mask, "And now a big business has something to do with me, and I need to find her for confirmation."
The Batarian's four eyes narrowed, and then he suddenly realized: "It turns out to be you, please wait a moment, I will report to the queen right away."
The bodyguard immediately knocked on the door and went in to report. Xie Yuan didn't wait long before the Batarian bodyguard came out and reported to Xie Yuan: "Sir, please come in. The hostess is waiting for you."
Xie Yuan nodded in thanks: "Thank you for helping with the communication." Then he stretched out his hand and popped out a thin biological personal combat chip as a thank you gift.
This is the specialty product of Xie Yuan's X company here, a personal enhancement device obtained from the UFO world. After Xie Yuan's improved research in the Mass Effect universe, it has better biocompatibility and has received great popularity since its launch.
These include speed (movement), adaptation (increased vitality), concentration (will resistance), agility (dodge ability) and perception (hit ability). There are three qualities: basic, advanced, and ultimate. What Xie Yuan just sent out was the advanced agility chip.
The bodyguard's eyes widened, but he accepted it without any scruples. He also had this thing on him, and it was the ultimate version. However, even if it is used for trading, it has great value. If you don't take it, you won't get it for free.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Look who's here."
As soon as they met, I heard Elia's exaggerated exclamation, "I thought you would never learn to come and say hello to me!"
Elia T. Locke was still wearing a tight-fitting suit that she didn't know was modified from the Asari commando uniform, and she was wearing a white chest-high vest. She looked sexy and capable.
But whoever indulges in the pomegranate skirt of this evil flower will not end well!
"You mentioned it once, so of course I have to comply with your wishes." Xie Yuan said flattering words without any objection, "You are the Queen of Omega, and your words are the law."
"Haha! You have such a sweet mouth, but I know better that if it weren't for another reason, you wouldn't be able to show up to me."
Elijah, who turned around faster than flipping through a book, changed from a look of delighted exclaimer to a business-like boss, "So let's get straight to the point! What do you want from me? At the same time, what can you give me?" Me what?"
"Okay, I don't ask for much - the place where the Qingyang mercenaries currently store Shepard's body." Xie Yuan made the request directly without hesitation.
"This request...oh...are you so confident?" A cunning look flashed through Elia's beautiful eyes, revealing a look of compassion, "And you are too cruel, you know your former comrade Li Yanako is also painstakingly searching for her...if she finds out that she found her after all her painstaking efforts, but it turns out to be a lie...hahahaha,"
Elia showed a rather cruel expression: "Do you think she will go insane with anger?"
"I will explain to her afterwards - and you only know that Qingyang is planning to sell the body to the Shadow Broker."
As soon as Xie Yuan heard Alya's sarcasm, he knew that she understood his methods and the entire transaction information, but Xie Yuan believed that she only had a one-sided understanding, "But you still don't understand one thing, the Shadow Broker is just a reseller." , you don’t know there’s an end customer.”
"So..." After hearing this, Elia showed a serious expression, "Who is the end customer?"
"The collector is the final buyer of this transaction." Xie Yuan revealed the truth that he had inferred.
"How could it be them?!" Elia showed anger and confusion. Obviously, the lack of intelligence made her particularly passive. "Didn't he just attack the Normandy? Why do you need the body of a commander?"
But Xie Yuan remained silent about this, and said: "The only thing I can tell you is that this is the second round of the battle between the Reapers and us. And the trump card sent by the Reapers this time is this collector race. While we lost Shepard in one turn, she also happened to become a necessary component of a huge conspiracy.
Please remember that you Asari, Salarians, Touaregs, and us humans plus their respective subordinate races and interstellar races are all targets of harvest, and no race can be spared."
"The excuse of righteousness won't move me, Xie, I can't help you for free - you can see that I am not a person who cares about the ethnic group very much."
Elijah's shocked expression only flashed across her face, and she soon returned to her businessman's philistine nature, "You have to pay more, otherwise I will not be able to help you except not participate in this matter."
"Two options!"
Xie Yuan stretched out two fingers: "First, a contract, a name, regardless of good, evil or power, you give the order, and I will take the life of this name."
"Then I'll do it at least ten times!"
"I only allow it once! But no matter who this person is - but you have to pay the fare, I -"
"Yes, yes, yes, you don't have a ship! This option doesn't make much sense to me," Elia shook her head. "What about the second option?"
"Have you ever seen a living collector?" Xie Yuan knew that the first one would not be accepted by Elia, so he emphatically proposed the second one, "This trade with the Shadow Broker, there will definitely be someone in the mission. A collector is present, and I plan to capture her and send her to any authoritative research institute or authoritative biologist for study—because there is a huge secret about the collector."
"What secret?" Elia raised a nice eyebrow.
"Their origins are related to a destroyed reincarnation." Xie Yuan said confidently.
"A large Prothean relic?" Elia automatically changed the definition, and then looked at Xie Yuan, "What if you can't catch it?"
"Crack!" Xie Yuan suddenly pulled out an exquisite... melee weapon from his back as if "coming out of nothing", and then took out a strange-looking pistol with his other hand.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
These were the Eldar Howling Banshee's power sword and star pistol that were captured at that time.
"The technological creations of an ancient civilization, power swords and star-marked pistols, can be transformed into very terrifying individual weapons by the military-industrial complex that sells them to you. The licensing fee alone will earn you a lot of money.
The value of these two collaterals is not low, right? ! "
It was the first time for Elia to see this kind of weapon. She immediately pulled it out and tested it. She picked up a power sword, activated the power field under Xie Yuan's explanation, and then used her superpower to make a cup hang in the air. , swung his sword at the cup in mid-air——
"Brush!" Even the glass cup was exquisitely cut into two halves. Elia turned off the force field and used her powers to take the two halves of the quilt back into her hands. A closer look showed that the cut surface was extremely smooth.
She didn't try the gun on the spot. After all, hearing gunshots here would disturb the distinguished guests. However, she still gave the star pistol to her bodyguard for him to test.
Ten minutes later, the bodyguard secretly revealed the result to Elia's ears. Xie Yuan could hear that the Batarians were shocked by the destructive power of the Star Pistol.
"That's all?" After waving his men away, Alya seemed to feel that something was not enough, and leaned on the sofa and asked.
But what she really thinks in her heart can't be seen on her face now.
"There's also a set of armor and a helmet - but as I was told, this is just a deposit and collateral."
Xie Yuan leaned on the sofa with his arms folded and said, "It's just because I'm worried that I can't do it, so I gave you more confidence - you haven't seen me take action, so you have doubts about me. I don't blame you, so this time Let me show you."
"In terms of collateral, it's still not enough." Elia shook her head.
Xie Yuan's eyes began to narrow.
"In addition to the armor and helmet, and after the matter is completed, I will also do this business with you. In my name, the Asari Military Industrial Group will also give me a face, and the licensing fee will not be unfair to you." Leah came up with another plan.
"With my abilities, I can do it myself in X——"
"It's impossible!" Arya interrupted, "If you make it, it won't be as popular as combat chips. You can only do small business. Only our Asari Military Industrial Group can make this set of individual weapons emit the maximum Value - Speaking of which, this set of individual weapons is very suitable for our Asari huntresses, where did you get it?"
"I got it by chance." Xie Yuan ended the topic with one sentence.
"...It's up to you. I've never seen this set of weapons in the universe. It's probably unique to you." Elia didn't care where it came from. "And you also know that I persuaded you so patiently this time. Because I really think it’s okay, please don’t consume my patience and kindness.”
Xie Yuan was silent for a while, but finally relaxed: "Give me the address, and when I change her stasis chamber, I will bring you the armor and helmet. By the way, what model is her stasis chamber?"
"Deal!" Alya showed a proud smile and clapped her hands, "All information will be sent to you in five minutes."
…
On the other side, after Liana followed Feren to a corner of the place... nothing unspeakable happened.
Faerun told Liana the true news of Shepard's death, and the bad news confirmed that Smurfette burst into tears.
But the grief was finally suppressed, and Liana ignored Faeron's warning that the journey to visit Shepard's body was extremely dangerous, and insisted on Faeron taking her to see the stasis chamber where Shepard's body was placed.
Unable to defeat Smurfette, Feren could only take her to the secret storage place. However, as expected, they were intercepted by a group of blue-armored mercenaries - they were the Qingyang mercenaries. .
After not even a moment of resistance, both of them were captured by the outnumbered Qingyang mercenaries, and the leader who interrogated them turned out to be a krogan!
"Ah, beautiful blue-skinned little sister, it's so hard for you to go through so much trouble to come to Omega to seek a dead man..." Captain Krogan sneered in a hoarse voice, "The Shadow Broker is very curious about this, she Want to know why?"
"My interests are my own business! It has nothing to do with you!" Liana struggled and yelled, "My business has nothing to do with the Shadow Agent!"
"It's a pity that for the Shadow Broker, everything has to do with me! Especially the hot commodity Shepard," the Krogan captain narrowed his eyes at Liana, "Tell me now, or- —”
"Then you go to hell and wait!" Suddenly a voice came from far and near, ethereal.
"Who?!" The Krogan raised his head and looked around.
"In front of you!"
The next moment, the light of the sword flashed, and the last thing the Krogan saw was that the people holding Liana around her were waving their broken arms in fear.
The surroundings are just continuous silver sword light!
Then the krogan's hole widened, and then he was really dead.
Liana didn't see anything just now, but she found that her face was suddenly covered with a strong magnetic strap. This thing immediately blindfolded her eyes, and there was even a valve mask on her mouth?
Then the next thing she realized was that her hands were suddenly free. She hurriedly wanted to take off her strap-ons, but was immediately stopped by a sentence: "Don't take it off! This scene is too bloody, and you can't watch it at your age."
Hearing the familiar words, Liana shouted in surprise: "Yuan?!"
Then, four hysterical screams suddenly sounded from behind: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
!
"
The scream was like a person suddenly experiencing great pain, but it suddenly stopped... She suddenly remembered that she had been grabbed by two people just now. Wasn't that just now - her forehead suddenly forced out Breaking into a thin cold sweat.
"Qiang!" There was a sound of sheathing the knife, and suddenly there was a "puff, plop, plop" sound of water spraying all around, the sound of soft tissue falling to the floor like "plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop" and the last hard object "bang bang". "The sound of the ground hitting the ground.
Liana's feet suddenly felt a large amount of water covering the soles of her shoes... She was suddenly so frightened that her legs trembled.
"vomit!
! "The sound of Felan's uncontrollable vomiting came from the side.
Then this vomiting triggered a chain reaction - Liana heard several uncontrollable vomiting sounds above her head, and listened to the sound of liquid dripping on the ground - Smurfette suddenly felt even more disgusting.
Then Xie Yuan shouted loudly from above: "Miranda! Come out to wash the floor!"
"Wash your hair!" A young woman screamed hysterically from above, "Wash yourself!"
"Just wash it! Feren from Drel!" Liana heard Xie Yuan call Ferun's name, "You are responsible for taking Liana out! Remember not to tell her what you saw. When you get to a place where you can't smell the smell, take off her mask - remember, she's missing a piece of skin and I'll let you taste what they just endured!"
"I'll take her away right away! I'll take her away right away!" Feilun immediately took her away from the place where she was ambushed.
