Modinsuo Luo Si, the first time he saw this person, he felt that this person was extraordinary.
Salarians all have standard football-shaped "alien" big eyes, a small head, a narrow and short chin and cheeks... The whole head is somewhat like an inverted gourd, bigger at the top and smaller at the bottom. There are small fleshy horns on each side of the body - you can best distinguish them with the skin color and the extra scales in the irregular areas, otherwise it will be easy to fall into the embarrassment of face blindness.
But this one is different. He impresses people at first glance.
One of the horns on this person's head is missing, and there are many small scars on his face, especially between his eyes. But the most striking thing is that this Salarian has many subtle wrinkles on his face.
This is a talented geneticist and former member of the Salarian Special Service Group (STG), the number one person on the Salarian government's RED (Retired extraordinary Dangerous) list who needs to be vigilant.
The Salarian Secret Service is synonymous with the ghost organization of the Salarian government. In fact, the predecessor of the Secret Service, the Divine Wing, was the idea of the Citadel Council to establish ghost agents.
There is a tradition in the intelligence community: once you serve as an intelligence officer, you will be unable to leave it for the rest of your life. Only death can escape you.
Basically no one can avoid this tradition. Even if you can retire normally, you must have a confidentiality period of more than 50 years... Asari may be better, humans and Salarians basically mean that you must serve until you join. die.
Few people can retire. Xie Yuan is a special case, but Professor Modin is a strange person. Not only did he retire, but he also settled down in Omega, and even lived a particularly long life - at least compared to Serra, whose average life span is 35-50 years old. Among wise people, he is already over fifty years old and will be sixty soon.
A proper centenarian!
Such a person is not only a genuine high-level intellectual, but also an operational agent with a high intelligence level. In addition, he is retired in an area not traditionally controlled by the Salarian government... He definitely has the strength to easily save his life, and he is not responsible for the government. Information that dares to mess around.
Theoretically, Xie Yuan is absolutely unwilling to provoke such an old agent and great scientist, so even if Xie Yuan knows that there is such a person, he knows that he lives in a slum and opened a clinic. I definitely don’t want to provoke him, or even basically don’t want to deal with him.
This guy's clinic is also one of the few shops that does not need to pay taxes to the Qingyang mercenary group that controls the slums - since all the members of the last tax collection team sent to disturb him died in front of his shop. , and immediately stopped.
But now Xie Yuan can't help but visit him.
Because a very strange plague broke out in the slums of Omega - this is a mild sexually transmitted disease that will affect all races except humans and Woyun. It will also cause fever and cause multiple organ failure and death. /poison.
Not surprisingly, this is a specially designed biochemical/virus. But the question on the table is who dropped the virus/virus and how? Are there any solutions?
Soon, due to the outbreak of the plague, things turned out to be just as Xie Yuan had been worried about - public opinion quickly blamed the culprit for releasing the virus on human beings, which suddenly triggered the entire Omega conflict. The great hatred of mankind.
As for why you don’t doubt the Woyun people?
It's a pity that we can't, because as a shorter-lived race than the Zelarians, with an average lifespan of no more than twenty years, their learning ability is not strong at all, and they will not even take the initiative to learn.
Even a large number of Voyun fled their planet not voluntarily - it was said that they were brought out by the krogan.
These super short-lived species focus the entire technological tree of biological evolution on adaptability: although they look like humans in appearance, they have undifferentiated cell layer tissue, just like the flower insect worms on Earth. Except for the fact that the cranial volume and brain size will not change, almost the whole body of the Wocha can evolve in any environment that is not immediate death.
But other than that, you want them to study such a sophisticated virus?
If you believe this guess, you might as well believe that Omega will one day make the environment safer and residents become happy!
But Xie Yuan was really suspicious of the Woyun people—for no other reason than that the collector had dealt with the Woyun people before, and the latter had been the collector's executor for a period of time.
As a result, one of the humans kidnapped by the collector on a large scale did not get sick, and the other Woyun people who were actually slaves for the collector did not get sick either. To say that there was nothing strange between them, Xie Yuan did not believe it at all.
However, before wiping out the so-called Woyun people group in the slums, Xie Yuan still planned to say hello to Professor Modin - in terms of experience in dealing with such biochemical attacks, he was still not as experienced as this old Salarian agent, so it would be best if he I need to ask the elders for help.
At this time, the slums have been sealed off by the Qingyang Mercenary Group - they have sealed the residents of the entire four districts within the area to prevent all possible infected people from escaping from the epidemic area.
At the same time, a mandatory curfew was issued. If anyone was seen running around on the street, they would be shot to death indiscriminately.
Although this behavior is correct in a sense, it can also suppress the outbreak of the plague to the greatest extent. But the original intention was not very kind - they had determined that this was a biological attack, and could not identify the suspect. Everyone was suspected of poisoning.
So they thought that as long as all the people were killed, the entire neighborhood could be disinfected, and the plague would disappear.
This is not possible!
Because if such a cruel method is followed, the public opinion in the future will be completely distorted - Omega, who has not been able to obtain the truth, will only suspect that the biggest suspect in this incident is a human being, and even subconsciously doubt human beings.
Being blamed for releasing biochemical viruses is not a good thing for the development of mankind. More importantly, Xie Yuan really did not see the benefits of human beings acting as the main messenger to release this plague.
So Xie Yuan must rush to the slums to visit Professor Mordin and try to get the truth from him - even if he hasn't yet, Xie Yuan must help him get the truth.
…
Although in this slum, every major and major traffic artery has been blocked by Qingyang people, it is easy for Xie Yuan to find a gap through which he can enter.
Directly penetrate the wall with his soul body, and then come out from the other end, Xie Yuan is already in the slum.
Then he took out the relocated puppet in the space, then re-possessed it, and then put on a suit of Star Alliance Marine Sergeant Armor, except that the official Star Alliance logo was removed.
After putting on a black robe, he went straight to the clinic from the main entrance to visit.
There was basically no one on the road, but Xie Yuan still listened to everything going on around him with his ears.
When he saw aliens coming to persecute ordinary human families, Xie Yuan immediately stepped in to stop them. If he couldn't stop them with words, he just spoke with his fists. He also suggested waiting to contact Professor Modin before picking them up.
Sometimes if he encounters human gangsters who want to take advantage of the crisis to cause trouble, Xie Yuan will also stop such actions that corrupt human morals - but these gangsters can only see a two-meter-tall tall man with a huge shotgun. Can compromise and retreat.
On the way, Xie Yuan also found a Batarian who was suffering from a cough but was probably homeless. He was hiding on the inside of the street at an intersection. His life signal showed that he was very weak.
"Uh... that..." Xie Yuan walked over, squatted down a few steps in front of the Batarian, and tried to ask: "Can you still hold on?"
"Earthling?!" The Batarian opened his eyes slightly and saw Xie Yuan. But when he saw Xie Yuan, no matter how weak he was, he still cursed him angrily and intermittently: "...You are the ones who did it. A good deed! Spread the virus, and then plunder the property of the dead! Despicable earthlings...ah, cough, cough, cough...!"
Looking at the Batarian who was about to fall into shock due to a violent cough, Xie Yuan directly opened the multi-purpose tool and ejected the specially prepared medical needle for aliens to the Batarian.
"Hey! Stay awake," Xie Yuan encouraged him while rescuing him. "This may not cure your disease, but it can make you feel better."
"Oh... you..." The Batarian finally stood up with some strength and looked at Xie Yuan in disbelief, "You saved me. Why?"
"There are good and bad Batarians, and the same goes for humans, but I assure you this time it was definitely not us humans who did it."
Xie Yuan told the Batarian: "And I am here to find a cure and prove it at the same time."
"What you said... sounds sincere." The Batarian's face still couldn't hide the pain, but after all, he had received a life-saving grace, and his tone finally softened, "Maybe I'm hot-headed, but like you said - —What do I have to lose? What do you want to know?"
Xie Yuan has already guessed a lot of things, so there is no need to ask. He is only interested in one thing: "Have there been any abnormalities in the Woyuan people recently? What are they doing now?"
"What's wrong with the Woyun people? They're just fighting and killing every day."
The Batarian seemed unconcerned: "Although I am grateful for your help, I am sorry to say that it is really difficult for you to find evidence that it was the Woyun people who did it. Now all the evidence points to you.
As for their current trends? I can only say that Qingyang is protecting their territory now, but as the epidemic spreads, it is probably only a matter of time before they are defeated by the Woyu people. "
After getting the information that was almost confirmed in his heart, Xie Yuan also said goodbye to the Batarians, but he promised that once he saw Professor Modin, he would send someone to take him into his clinic.
Xie Yuan encountered many struggles along the way, but he had no time to deal with them. He opened his tactical cloak and crossed the battlefield, going around here and there before arriving at the clinic.
Xie Yuan is taking the right path. After all, he knows very well that walking in back alleys or trails will inevitably encounter some kind of judgment trap - it is one thing for this person to love saving lives, but he can cold-bloodedly stun him with poisonous gas and then shoot him. and hanging the body out is another matter.
He has something to ask for, and there is nothing that cannot be kept secret, so it is best to approach him openly.
After walking through an aisle lined with advanced security robots, Xie Yuan arrived at the clinic.
Everyone was overloaded with work, and Xie Yuan saw at a glance the master who could solve a large number of emergency medical problems with just a few words - Professor Modin... as long as he could bear the speed of his machine gun.
Then, it was a set of tricks that revealed each other's true identities as soon as they met - but mainly Xie Yuan suffered a lot, but Xie Yuan didn't feel any discomfort at all.
There is no shame in losing at the hands of a veteran agent. What you learn is what you earn.
After all, my experience as an agent has been intermittent for less than thirty years, while he has been in the industry since he was twelve years old and has been a regular agent for more than forty years.
However, after learning that Professor Modin was also interested in finding the mastermind and solving the epidemic at the same time, Xie Yuan thought about it and revealed the truth he knew...
"It was the Collector who did it?!" Modin's already big eyes widened even more at this time.
