Chapter 517: Planet Philos ends, Shepard seeks the root cause
Xie Yuan just jumped back to the underground level, complained about Shepard, and then put most of his consciousness on a puppet placed in advance at the bottom.
He just took over the fallen Solian at the bottom and successfully launched the teleportation.
He didn't have time to check the results, but Xie Yuan had already found a way to prepare a replacement for Solian in advance, which continued to fall downwards with gravity.
Then he recovered the puppet, and then his consciousness returned to his body - this was also the reason why Xie Yuan was so sleepy before.
Then when I came back to my senses, I found that Shepard and Sianna had their heads above each other, and Liana and Tali were still watching intently... Forgive me for feeling out of place, is this something I can watch?!
Seeing Shepard and Siana "talking about each other" in front of him, Xie Yuan was so full of old jokes that he didn't know where to start!
After a while, Shepard and Siana separated and opened their eyes.
Siana shook her head, and then said to Shepard: "I have given you the key, just like I gave Saren.
The memory of the Prothean Ancestor is now a part of you."
Shepard had to wipe the sweat from his head with his shoulder.
Tali was a little curious: "What is that? Shepard, are you okay?"
Oh, what a big heart!
However, Shepard seems to be in a good state at the moment: "I saw some... things. But I still can't explain clearly."
Sianna waved her hand and explained what Shepard had gained: "You got a big gift package: all the experience and knowledge of an entire nation. Your mind needs some time to digest this information."
"Haha, you are really good at talking." Xie Yuan sneered in his heart as he turned his head to prevent his teammates in front of him from noticing his sarcastic expression.
To say too much, it is nothing more than some Protheans' personal insights and memories of the events - there may be some good things in it, but the things that can be digested are too rare.
He had had contact with the real Prothean Jarvik. But even so, Xie Yuan did not obtain all the Protheans' scientific and technological culture and shipbuilding knowledge from the resonance between the two, and the precise information of such a powerful weapon of a great power.
.
Sianna is just selling melons here, selling her own melons and boasting about herself - which is the purpose of decoding the Prothean's cry before death.
But this matter has nothing to do with him, Shepard is the most important decision-maker.
Liana immediately made suggestions for taking care of her lover: "We should send you to the ship so that you can be under supervision."
Seeing Shepard's pale face, Siana could only apologize: "I'm sorry if it's hard for you, but there is no other way. You need the key. In time, it will help you understand what you got from the beacon.
omen."
In view of Siana's personal help and the fact that she stayed in the colony to help the residents of the Pearl of the Orient colony for the atonement plan, Shepard also agreed with her opinion and allowed her to stay there.
And after Shepard eliminated Thorian, Zheng also received good news - a new round of supplies had begun to be loaded onto the ship and was on its way with the fleet.
It seems that in order to achieve great wealth in the future, Zheng Ye did not hesitate to spend a lot of money at full capacity - but it was worth it.
Gavin Hossler also got his data as he wished, but Shepard did not publicly mention his secret collusion with Cerberus.
I don’t know whether it is going to be recorded in the mission log, or whether it will be handed over to the Star Alliance to arrange a secret investigation.
However, the journey to Planet Philos has come to an end. Although it is not a happy ending, it still has an ending that is understandable.
"Gene Era"
…
The ground team returned to the spacecraft, which also meant that a new round of in-ship summary meetings began.
Liana looked at Shepard, who still had no reply to his rosy face, and asked with concern: "Lieutenant Colonel? Your face...is a little pale. Are you still suffering from the side effects of the key?"
Perhaps because he was in the atmosphere of his own people, Shepard did not hide his situation. He pressed his head and then raised his head to face Liana: "The "key" did make me a little dizzy."
So as another Asari, and also a Prothean archaeologist who was eager to learn more, Liana proposed that Shepard have a "brain fuck" with her.
The first time, the second time, the second time, the third time, the fourth time, it became natural... Shepard, who seemed eager to know the truth, no longer cared about etiquette and side effects, and directly completed another "brain exchange" in front of the public!
Alas, the world is deteriorating and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be.
But this time, after the two women finished their "brain intercourse", it was Liana who was more excited.
"It's incredible!" Liana was rarely in high spirits, and her words were a bit incoherent. "I spent all my time and research. But I never dreamed of it... I'm sorry."
Only then did she finally remember that this was in full view of everyone in the conference room, so she quickly put away her excitement: "These images are so lifelike. I didn't expect this experience to be so...exciting."
Liana, who finally came back to her senses, began to look calmer, but she still couldn't hide her admiration: "Your will is extremely strong, Lieutenant Colonel. What you have experienced and what you have seen may destroy those who are not able to bear it."
's brain."
"What did you see?" Kaiden asked looking at Liana who finally calmed down.
Liana patiently explained from the beginning: "The beacon on Yidian Prime must have been severely damaged. Most of the images have disappeared. The data transmitted to the lieutenant colonel's mind is incomplete."
"You must have seen something?" Shepard didn't believe that these omens were useless.
Fortunately, Liana's feedback was not bad news: "I can understand the information conveyed by your illusion, at least the existing part. But some information is lost.
Saren must have the missing information. Maybe he found another beacon, and if we can find the missing information in your vision, I can... oh."
Yes, when talking about the key point, Liana covered her head as usual and staggered: "Sorry. Conscious fusion... is very energy-consuming. I should go to the infirmary and lie down for a while."
Okay, Liana said it was a good job, what else could Shepard say?
They could only let her go to the infirmary to take a rest and dismissed the meeting.
Then he faced the evaluation of the three major members of the Citadel Council alone.
…
After the meeting, Xie Yuan ran directly to the restaurant to help with the cooking, but what he didn't expect was that the first person Shepard went to wasn't looking for his charming Asari girlfriend Liana.
I actually found myself directly!
Even though he spoke the first sentence, Xie Yuan already understood: "The guy who Solian once controlled said that you are a telepath. If it's convenient, can you tell me about it?"
"Stuck!" Xie Yuan put down the groceries in his hands, leaned against the locker, and said to Shepard: "This is not a skill that can be learned easily, so it is basically pseudoscience, and there is no need to take it seriously.
"
Shepard raised his eyebrows when he heard "pseudoscience": "It's similar to how special powers were in the past? So you were born with an abnormality that caused this situation?
Then you hid it well enough, there is no similar record in the archives."
"The reason why the files never record this is exactly the opposite. It is because I acquired this ability through self-study."
Unexpectedly, Xie Yuan went straight to the point: "This ability is never used, and it is always based on defense against similar external forces. So how does the medical department know this?"
"But if you are willing to reveal it, maybe the military department will give you a more accurate location instead of being trapped in Yin Dian."
Shepard believed that Xie Yuan's behavior was extremely selfish: "So your bad luck in officialdom is something you brought on yourself."
"Hmm... What if the institute disembowells me just for this hope? Thank you, but no need."
Xie Yuan waved his hand: "Pursuing official career is already a thing of the past. I guess you didn't come to me for my telepathy ability.
It’s not like you knew from the beginning that I had something to hide, so if you have any questions, just ask!”
Xie Yuan took out two sealed bottles of beer from the locker, gave one to Shepard, opened the seal on the other bottle, and took a sip.
"Gulu!" The cold and exciting wine poured into his throat. Xie Yuan breathed out a sigh of relief and looked at Shepard: "I'm in a good mood today. If you have any questions, I can help answer them.
Yes, I know more than this about the Protheans."
"Chi!!!" Opening the sealing ring, Shepard waited for the bubbles to start pouring out and then poured it in - "Gulu gulu gulu"
"Ha!!!" After drinking a whole bottle of beer in one gulp, Shepard looked at Xie Yuan and asked the question that had always bothered her:
"What else do you know about the Protheans and the Overlord?!"
