Okuda Keiji...this name has not appeared in Xie Yuan's memory for more than ten years.
The two of them also came from a colony on the border of the Attica Star Belt. They were neighbors, they had played together since childhood, and they had fought together against incoming pirates.
However, unlike Xie Yuan who joined the army and struggled in the poor mountains and rivers, Okuda Keiji was a brilliant computer student and went to Star Alliance early to become a Star Alliance government employee with a bright future.
However, after becoming a garrison officer on Eden Prime, Xie Yuan asked his family to move to a safer inner colony. At that time, Okuda's family had already moved out in advance - they did not meet again, and he did not expect to hear this name again today.
"Ms. Xia, I didn't expect you to be an acquaintance of Keiji. It's great to see you - how is Keiji?" Xie Yuan seemed very happy to see the little news from someone he hadn't seen for many years, and his tone became warmer.
But strangely, Xia's expression seemed hesitant to speak... She hadn't said anything yet, but Xie Yuan's heart sank. It seems that this young boy has left him...
"Where is the current address of the Normandy?" Xie Yuan was not prepared to hear what Xia said. He died at this age and must have died unexpectedly. Now that he knows, he must avenge him. "If it is convenient, can you reveal it? Really? I'll come over."
"Oh! Uh... let me ask Shepard." Kasumi Eto probably didn't expect Xie Yuan to be so forthcoming. After being stunned for a while, she immediately suspended the communication.
Xie Yuan also came to Ada who was working in the VIP box of the bar at this time - she had to change places after staying here for one day. Without him, after having a high-end anti-hacking network terminal on her body, in order to prevent possible physical attacks Being followed, she had to hang around like a girl in a bar.
"Help me pay attention to all the information about a person." After meeting Ada, Xie Yuan directly gave his nickname, "My nickname is Okuda Keiji. I heard he was a senior hacker and passed away recently - I think Know who killed him."
"This guy is not a simple guy."
It only took Ada a second to dig out Okuda's general information: "Okuda Keiji, alias Ruuma Abraham, a former employee of the Star Alliance Intelligence Agency, is now a professional liar and thief, specializing in obtaining and selling confidential information.
Due to a trial in 2175, the prosecutor could not use his memory as evidence due to the Star Alliance's court system prohibiting self-incrimination (based on the Fifth Amendment of the old United States Constitution). After the trial, Ruuma quickly disappeared without a trace, and only a gray intelligence agent like Okuda Keiji remained in the world. "
"What was he being prosecuted for?" Xie Yuan frowned upon hearing this.
"The felony of information theft... I'm sorry, but it seems that your boy crossed the red line very early - either he was a needle deliberately released by the Star Alliance Intelligence Agency, or he made one wrong step and another wrong step. Blended into the black criminal world."
"Alas." Seeing his old childhood friend in this state, Xie Yuan also sighed. "Help me find his family. Such a big thing happened, and I need to visit him."
After a pause, he continued to ask: "Who killed him?"
"Donovan Hawke, an arms dealer and smuggler, secretly sent people to attack and kill Okuda Keiji and robbed the latter's gray box."
"Gray box?! There are still people using that thing?" Xie Yuan frowned a little when he heard this thing.
The Gray Box is an auxiliary memory implant developed forty years ago. Its scientific name is the Memory Neurorecall Stimulator. It is a device implanted in the brain to assist and organize memories.
Originally developed to relieve Alzheimer's disease, it works by helping the amygdala to induce stimulation of the cognitive part of the memory consolidation area. Each memory is assigned a shape or emotion from the other memories, thus grouping the concepts together so they can be recalled more easily.
However, because the implantation process of the "grey box" requires the brain to irreversibly hand over some of its work to the machine, software defects or attempts to remove the "grey box" for repair may cause disabling damage to the brain. For this reason, "grey boxes" quickly became used only by people with an urgent need for pictorial memory, e.g.
Researchers and spies.
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan suddenly realized: "By the way, his name is also Liumo Abraham. It was precisely because he refused to incriminate himself that this series of implants were declared illegal by the Star Alliance."
"Donovan Hawke...whose black glove is this man?"
After learning about his current situation as a child, Xie Yuan made no further comments. Everyone has his or her own ambitions, and it was not that he couldn't respect them. But the enemy who attacked and killed him must pay with his life, no matter what his background is.
"This person doesn't have any obvious background - the people who have close contact with him are just the commanders of patrol fleets in some places. However, he has connections with some big shots in the World God Galaxy - recently he also gave a close friend A grand banquet was held, and all the underground industry bosses and upstarts in the entire World God Galaxy were invited."
"Underground industry exchange meeting...ah, I really want to kill them all in one pot," Xie Yuan couldn't help but let out a bloodthirsty smile when he heard the news.
It's been a long time since I've done something fun and exciting. Today, by killing these underground brokers, I can feel good about doing something good for the people.
"I don't recommend you do this at first - it's okay to kill some ruffians. I don't think you're worried about notoriety anyway."
Ada objected: "But this requires you to ensure that the gray box does not fall into the hands of others before you can do this."
"What's so great about a high-level liar's memory implant?" Xie Yuan was very unimpressed by this.
"The gray box is indeed nothing special, but what it contains about the Star Alliance's secret robbery of the Batarians is a bit big - it involves a team of reapers." Ada looked at Xie Yuan casually, "Not to mention To say this was only 20 years ago—the impact on the present cannot be underestimated.”
"How could the council not know anything about it in the past twenty years?" Xie Yuan felt a little ridiculous about this. "It's been twenty years, what did the ghost agents do for food? The previous generation of shadow agents actually knew about it and didn't report it to the council? "
"That's because the human government twenty years ago was nothing in the Citadel Council circle. This kind of information will neither trigger an all-out war between humans and the Batarians, nor will it cause greater disputes."
Ada explained to Xie Yuan: "Although this matter was big at that time, because the status of human beings was too low and they had just entered the industry, the impact was almost minimal - the previous generation of Shadow Brokers was a very patient hunter. He should think that since this incident can destroy a civilization, it is better to wait until the civilization reaches a sufficient height, and then depending on the situation, whether to use it as blackmail or to break out and trigger a new catastrophe. So he should have done it at that time Take action and make this almost unknown.”
Speaking of this, Ada looked a little impressed: "And now that humans have become one of the parliamentary races, and the fruits are ripe, it is time to prepare to harvest."
"So this information turned out to be the lead that the Shadow Broker had released earlier?!" Xie Yuan's eyes flashed fiercely at this, "He actually damaged my old life for this - this person is really despicable!"
"Come on, no matter how detailed his plan was, it was all killed by your unreasonable Tianwai Feixian." Ada rolled her eyes at Xie Yuanfei in disgust, "The top priority now is to get the gray box quickly, and then Find out how much Donovan Hawke knows about this—and get rid of him, whether he knows it or not, before anyone else can react."
"Then...where is the Normandy now?" "They are about to enter the Citadel Space Station."
"Okay! Contact me with Curze and ask him to assemble his team to launch a surgical operation against Donovan Hawke."
"Kasumi Eto seems to be a thief." Ada looked at Xie Yuan with interest, "Her plan of action is nothing more than a shocking robbery operation - are you going to get involved?"
"It doesn't have to be exactly the same..." Xie Yuan curled his lips and thought for a while, "Give me an identity that allows me to go to the banquet. How long will it take to get it?"
"In an hour, you will be Salvador Reis, the leader of a small independent mercenary group in the northeastern part of the World God Galaxy." Ada spread her hands indifferently, "Then, the invitation letter and the entire
The information of a mercenary group will be handed over to you in an hour and a half. This is a genuine identity. "
"How could it not be discovered?"
"Because in an hour, Salvador Reis will be secretly eradicated by a shadow team. Someone has placed an order for me - but I can let this dying person be used as waste, as long as you let this "person" "Just die in that party." "
"Can you do it?" Ada tilted her head and teased.
"It's a piece of cake!" Xie Yuan responded easily, "They will never appear in the world again."
