1598,Mass Effect(forty-eight)

 ——AD.2160.5.7——

Citadel, Ring District.

Due to the attack by the Geth fleet, the Reaper warship was blown up from the sky. The originally bustling ring area was completely turned into ruins, and many repair and reconstruction personnel were busy rushing back and forth.

John Shepard, dressed in N7 standard armor, walked on the road and attracted the attention of many people. After all, he was the "hero who saved the Citadel."

At least that's what the Citadel Council advertises.

Connor Shepard floated next to John Shepard, looking left and right.

Ever since he found out a gem known as "her soul" from somewhere, she could not leave this person more than three meters away. Whether walking, taking a car or taking an elevator, she would maintain this maximum distance, like

Followed like a balloon.

Although I haven't left the Citadel and gone to the Mass Relay yet, the effect must be the same.

If you are too lazy to move, you can be dragged away by him like a fish in a fishing net, and your soul won't hit anything anyway.

However, John has already said that his soul is the gem, but what is the "main perspective" that he can act at will now? What is the use of the soul gem?

Whenever he asked questions, John put on an innocent expression and said, "The [Soul Stone] is the [Soul Stone]?"

Obviously, John Shepard is a man with many secrets. He has his own purpose. The appearance of the N7 elite who is diligent and considerate of mankind is just a facade, but he has been following him for half a month, but he has found nothing.

He discovered that, except that he could talk to his "non-existent" self.

[Your expression just now seemed like you really didn’t know that I was an android~] Kangna looked back at the direction of the human embassy and held up the sign: [You are so good at deceiving people, you must have deceived a lot of girls, right?]

"Theoretically, it is impossible for 'John Shepard' to know that you are an android," John nodded, "I have never deceived a girl."

This sentence sounds like a lie.

[So you are not actually ‘John ​​Shepard’?] Kangna floated to the other side: “[Fake name? Makeup? Stand-in?]”

"'John Shepard' itself does not exist, so the answer of 'pseudonym' is the closest." John answered.

[Okay, until you are willing to tell me your real name, I will call you John,] Connor continued to hold up the sign: [So, now that you have received the task of ‘finding the missing Shepard’, what should you do? 】

"I will investigate your interpersonal relationships first, starting from the most familiar people and places," John replied: "For example, people who are involved in the 'subspace storm' are equivalent to 'drowning', and they 'surface'

'The location is often close to people and things that are familiar to you in the real world."

[Sounding very professional,] Kang Na changed her name: [If it wasn’t me who was missing.]

"Because this theory is true," John said: "One of the applications of this theory is to turn yourself from real to imaginary, and then choose an 'anchor point' that is more closely related to you in the 'imaginary number space' to float up."

In order to achieve the purpose of 'jumping', this behavior is called 'imaginary number sneaking'."

[The one at Benacia? Psychic jump?]

"The jump is still through the subspace," John replied: "The subspace 'really exists', while the 'imaginary space' does not exist, just like you."

【But you can talk to me?】Kanna wrote doubtfully.

"I 'didn't speak'," John replied: "In other words, I have been talking to people who 'didn't exist', and you 'didn't exist'."

【???】Kanna couldn't understand and could only put a question mark on the dialog box.

"For example," John nodded his arm: "If I speak to a multi-purpose tool that does not have communication turned on, who can hear me?"

[Uh? Passerby?] Kangna looked left and right.

"The answer is, the Multi-Tool can hear it."

【???】

Citadel Dockyard.

Due to the Battle of the Citadel, the number of merchant ships and cruise ships traveling to and from the Citadel dropped sharply, while engineering ships, warships, and transport ships increased in number, giving the port a busy and solemn scene.

When John arrived at the berth in Normandy, he saw a Star Alliance officer with deep wrinkles on his face, a bald head, and a sinister face standing there.

Kangna somehow felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't search for his identity because she couldn't connect to the database.

"I am Admiral Mihayelovich. Your Normandy has been assigned to the Fifth Fleet and belongs directly to my battle group. I want to board the ship for inspection now. Please make arrangements." The officer said.

"Sir, I believe that my ship and I have the right to act autonomously?" John saluted and then asked.

"Of course you do," the admiral reluctantly returned the greeting, and then glared at him: "But I heard that you let many weird aliens board the ship. I have to make sure that this ship is still dominated by humans."

[Ah, I remembered.] Kangna wrote two signs and showed them to John: [This admiral supports the "Only Earth Party", although he does not agree that human beings should develop with the earth as the center.

, but there is a big prejudice against aliens.】

"Really? What do you want me to do?" John replied to her.

Hmm... Kangna thought for a moment and posted the two options.

["These alien crew members have provided a lot of help to my mission." (Model)]

["Since I am the captain, of course this ship is dominated by humans." (Rebellion)]

Oops...I'm used to seeing action suggestions, so I conveniently added parentheses...

Kangna was about to secretly erase the brackets and content when John had already spoken.

"They've been a lot of help," he said, "but this is my boat."

Judging from the amount of text, the content and suggestions seem to be completely opposite.

Connor looked at her abbreviated and summarized "action suggestions" and erased them with a bit of dejection.

"Very good!" The admiral seemed to be quite satisfied with this answer, but his expression was still ugly: "I hope you remember this sentence and don't make the wrong choice when the interests of humans and aliens conflict."

After saying that, he did not insist on inspecting the ship and turned around and walked away.

[Ah, I understand, he should be talking about me,] Kangna looked at the admiral's back and began to type in the dialog box: [After nearly half a month of review, they have probably figured out that I let

How dangerous is it for the Fifth Fleet to enter the battlefield?】

[If I had not arrived at the Citadel Center in time to open the guard area and release the combined fleet inside, the Fifth Fleet would have suffered heavy losses. It would be great to be one-tenth of its current size.]

[This general should belong to the group of people who don’t know the inside story. They think it’s you who gave the order, so he should be here to warn you not to make the wrong choice when encountering similar situations in the future.]

"Wrong choice?" John smiled, "It will never be wrong again."
