The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 501 Cerberus' Cruel Novella's Disappearance
The Normandy recently experienced a sad tragedy before landing on the planet Novilia.

In fact, the main reason is that Shepard is very sad. She met a colleague from the Star Alliance, a major general, Mr. Kahoku, when she made the decision on the Citadel of God.

This man had recently died in a secret Cerberus base.

Prior to this, Major General Kahoku hoped that Shepard could arrange for him to investigate the reasons why some of the investigation troops dispatched in certain hotspot areas lost contact.

As a result, when the Normandy arrived, all the survey troops were left with leftovers, and it was no surprise that the sand bugs killed them.

Shepard drove the infantry chariot to kill the sand worms hiding nearby, and inspected the remains in detail, and found that they all strayed into the sand worm's hunting ground due to wrong distress signals.

After receiving the result, Shepard immediately returned to the Council of the Citadel to deliver the task results to Major General Kahoku, which immediately caused the old and young general to panic.

Major General Kahoku found an excuse and hesitated to leave.

But when Shepard heard the news from the major general again, it was Lieutenant General Hackett, the supreme commander of the Fifth Fleet, who entrusted her to go to a secret Cerberus base to rescue the missing major general Kahoku.

But Cerberus obviously didn't have the habit of keeping enemies alive, and when Shepard led his men to the base, Major General Kahoku had stopped his pulse and closed his eyes forever.

This incident made Shepard feel righteous indignation. She even followed the clues and went to several secret Cerberus bases to destroy them.

She obtained some encrypted documents, and planned to decipher them in the future to find the key information that could overthrow Cerberus.

However, there is not no good news on the Normandy. Shepard happened to get some encrypted data about the Geth during another operation to repel the Geth's invasion of a certain base station, which is rare for the little girl Tully. something of value.

She can justifiably return to her wandering fleet, but she still plans to go back after defeating Saron with the Normandy.

It was in this mood that the Normandy came to the second intelligence area provided by the Council of the Citadel—Novelia.

……

Novia is a cold, mountainous world where most of the water exists in the form of large glaciers. It is a privately owned colony planet owned by the Novria Development Corporation (Noveria Development Corporation) holding company. The NDC is invested and established by 24 high-tech development companies, and set up an Executive Board (Executive Committee) to manage and represent the interests of these companies.
Investors build isolation cells on Noveria, setting up small thermal laboratories (radioactive materials labs). Because Noveria is technically not part of the Council's star field, the Council's laws do not apply to it, so these facilities on the planet are almost They are all used to study extremely dangerous or controversial experiments elsewhere.
Due to the special agreement signed, the task force elite of the council enjoys special treatment without jurisdiction on Noveria, but how much the executive committee can honor it remains to be seen. With such unique conditions, it is not difficult to understand that Noveria often involves all kinds of conspiracy theory.
Xie Yuan's own Xcom technology development company is also listed here, becoming the 25th high-tech development company. At present, small laboratories and workshops have been established on the planet. The main products are MEC security robots and spark auxiliary robots. The plan for this year is to bring the 2-stage magnetic rail acceleration weapon to the table.

At the same time, there is also another task here, to localize XCOM's technology, especially the proliferation of alien alloys and transuranium crystals-this is the basis for the development of level 3 beam and plasma weapons.

The secret laboratory responsible for carrying out this task is also located here.

However, when the Normandy was orbiting the planet Novella, the Novella tower directly gave Shepard a big blow.

……

"Normandie, you came here without an appointment. Our defense system is activated and is tracking you. Show your purpose!"

The clown immediately raised the name of the council: "It's the affairs of the God's Citadel, and we have a council special mission "ghost" on board."

That's it, the Novellia tower allowed the Normandy to land and placed it in the Novellia Starport shipyard.

This shows how domineering Novilia is.

And after getting off the boat, Shepard took another note of Mawei.

Apart from herself, Liyana and Tali were selected to accompany her. One had a background and the other was a master hacker.

After getting off the ship, a three-member assault team quickly blocked the road in front of the port customs.

The leading captain was an Asian man named Maeko Matsuo, who asked Shepard to explain the purpose of the surprise visit.

But after Shepard explained that he was a ghost sent by the Citadel, a female guard named Keira Sterling next to her said contemptuously: "It's all bullshit, sir."

Before Shepard said anything, Xie Yuan felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and replied directly: "Miss Matsuo, pay attention to your wording, can I think that Novella no longer respects the council?!"

"As for Kate's words, I don't think it's so serious, and we still need to confirm your identity."

Maeko Matsuo was neither humble nor overbearing, and at the same time reminded: "Also, I have to remind you that it is forbidden to carry any weapons in Novella."

Then he glanced at his subordinates: "Sergeant Sterling, go check their weapons!"

To Shepard, this order was like disarming her weapon. She drew out her pistol and confronted, while Liana next to her was already full of psionic energy, and Tully was also holding a rifle...Only Xie Yuan was speechless, and then went to There is a steel stick in his mouth.

On the opposite side, besides Matsuo himself, Kate and a Turian guard were also armed with guns.

Liana disagrees with the rules on confiscated weapons: "It's not a wise idea to search for geth with your bare hands."

But Shepard put down his gun at this time: "Put down your weapon, this is their territory, and follow their rules."

If it weren't for the benefactor who helped her get rid of the confidential documents of the Geth, Tully would not have disarmed her.

But now that Shepard has spoken, Tuli can only listen, but she also reluctantly agrees: "I... I support you, but is our armor in good condition?"

However, the confiscated weapon was eventually stopped by a director named Gianna Palasini on the radio and confirmed Shepard's ghost identity.

And ghosts can carry weapons and walk freely here, so the procedures for collecting weapons are automatically terminated in this way.

So Maeko Matsuo stopped her order and got out of control, letting Shepard go to see Jaina.

However, Sergeant Sterling's sentence "Pay attention to yourself" still annoyed Xie Yuan for a while.

"Hey, this conscientious Miss Sterling, I really want to know, if the most legendary and most hostile Saren came here to do business, would you dare to hand in your guns to him?"

Xie Yuan looked at the three people who made their debut, with a hint of sneer on his face: "Will you have the courage to raise your guns? I don't know how much you bowed in trepidation, I'm afraid that Sa Lun will concoct you!"

"You!" Sterling wanted to step forward angrily, but was grabbed by Maeko Matsuo.

And Xie Yuan was also patted on the shoulder by Shepard, "Yuan!", she glared.

"Agent Shepard, I hope you can control your subordinates. I hope you will not be so uncooperative in the next visit." Maeko Matsuo advised righteously.

"We will," Shepard said, clasping Xie Yuan's shoulders and walking into the building.

……

"What are you doing?!" After walking for a while, seeing that the people behind couldn't hear the conversation here, Shepard criticized in a low voice with a puzzled face, "This is not your usual you, why are you so out of control? !"

"It's just that I can't understand that Miss Kate disrespects you so much. It means nothing," Xie Yuan explained indifferently, "You must know that you are the first ghost of human beings, and you are not polite at all as a compatriot. excuse me."

"This is their territory, and they have their own rules." Shepard persuaded, "Although I appreciate your maintenance, I don't think it will be offended."

"But the rules are dead, and if the NDC's top management knows that their subordinates almost offended a ghost, they might punish her.

The rules of such companies have a set of final interpretation rights, and she must be careful. "

At the same time, Xie Yuan said helplessly, "And I'm not simply choking, but I'm warning Miss Matsuo in disguise, be careful of her subordinate Kate, she's not a good person."

"Ah?!" Shepard was stunned, and cursed with a smile, "Yuan, this is your first time in Novella, right? You don't know Kate, how could you think she is not a good person at first sight?"

Xie Yuanxin said that this was not the first time I came here, but it was indeed the first time I saw this Kate, but Xie Yuan had his own reasons: "Do you still remember her reply after you first declared that you were a ghost?" ?”

"It's all bullshit, I remember." Shepard nodded, she remembered what she had just experienced very clearly.

"If she is really thinking about the officer, it's not that she misleads the officer's opinion," Xie Yuan explained in a low voice, "The correct approach should be to stabilize us and immediately report to the superior for confirmation. The response should be decent and not rude. number, rather than asking us to implement it."

"Maybe they're just arrogant." Shepard didn't quite agree with Xie Yuan's theory.

"Perhaps. But if you face it with arrogance instead of prudence in a place where you dare to reveal your noble status and come fully armed... this is not abiding by the rules."

Xie Yuan added: "This is stupid!"

"I still think it's a big deal." Shepard stopped talking after finishing this sentence, because they had already arrived at the front desk.

At this moment, the surrounding drones suddenly rang loudly!

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

The people around immediately became tense.
