The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 669 Taking Ciri to Visit Omega (3) Modine's Call

"...Following up, we can see from the "last words" left by the Proxians in the last reincarnation that we interpreted, intelligent mechanical bodies will harvest the civilizations of the entire galaxy every 5 years. They have done this [-] times, and now It is the new round of the [-]th year..."

Xie Yuan told Xili with a rare dignified look: "There are two types of survivors in the last era. One is a special intelligent creature, such as Solian, which is a plant-based intelligent creature. Harvest all of this.

The second type is that Proxian, in desperation, hopes to hide himself and survive the harvest period before making a comeback.

But it is a pity that the first Thorian did not have normal morals and ethics. She couldn't tell the difference between the slaves of the Reapers and ordinary people. Fight me like hell—and die in the end. "

"God... It can only be said to be a pity, but there is nothing wrong with it. In my opinion, Thorian is not a creature that is beneficial to us."

After Ciri knew that Thorian once controlled the residents of a small town to live like marionettes, he didn't have the slightest liking for this plant creature, and then directly paid attention to the next follow-up situation.

"The other is the living person that the Proxians tried hard to hide—but it's a pity that this is the only Proxian who has survived 5 years."

Xie Yuan said with great emotion: "At this time, the last Pro Immortal is under my arrangement, and has been living very secretly at the same time."

"Wow! An alien who has lived for 5 years?!"

Shirley couldn't hide the shock on his face: "Huh... 5 years ago, I really don't know how he survived, and you actually concealed it for him? But why do you want to do this? Are you still worried that someone will harm you now?" he?

impossible?Now Asari, Salari, these parliamentary races and even the Hana people shouldn't all regain their worship of him? "

"If he was just a person, I would suggest him to do so, and be honorably enshrined on the altar until the end of his life." Xie Yuan also scratched his head helplessly, "But I accidentally did something that made He would be extremely dangerous once in the world."

"What is it?"

"He is no longer alone," Xie Yuan said faintly, "I once dreamed back through the ages, met him in another timeline, and at the same time saved two boxes of embryos that were about to be hatched by their race—the extinct Puro The fairy race has reappeared in the world."

"Isn't that good? He no longer needs to be the last vengeful spirit?" Ciri was very puzzled.

"No, the birth of this small tribe will bring about huge changes in the entire society - all of them Proxians may be lifted up to the altar and be honored as the supreme noble..."

Speaking of this, Xie Yuan paused: "But they will never be able to reproduce healthily again, because they will become the so-called protected species, accepting the admiration and watching of the world - just like your zoo in Night City Visit like a beast in a cage.

One day, they will find that the Prothean society is actually different from the existing cognition. At that time, in order to limit the development of the Protheans, a lot of fame will make the new Protheas gradually lost in it.

Then they will become slaves of the rich and the rich forever - and finally die out, the official only needs to say that the last Proxian died for some shameful reason, and the "god" who once controlled them all died sadly. "

"That's why you would rather hide them...um...so..." Shirley looked at Xie Yuan and spread his hands, "Is there any way to stop this so-called mechanical race... from harvesting the world?

I mean, if you guys knew there was such a thing, why didn't you actually do something about it instead of doing nothing here? "

"How do you know I didn't do anything?" Xie Yuan sneered, "Before I told you, I had prepared three plans to deal with this matter—the first of which gradually came to an end, Another is starting, and the third can only be said to be a revenge plan after the failure of the first two - now I am just looking for the possibility of implementing the fourth plan."

"That is to say, they can be solved in the end? Then the world can be preserved?" Ciri stared at Xie Yuan with wide eyes, hoping for a positive ending.

But disappointingly, Xie Yuan's answer was frustrating: "Wrong, every plan is a helpless solution to preserve species.

The first plan is the escape plan; the second plan is passed on to humans by the reaper, and the intention is unknown. I prepared step by step, but I will not use it unless it is a last resort; the third plan is to rely on our executors The power, thousands of years after the harvest, re-injected humans into the earth-then prevented the power of revenge from going directly to the dark space where the reapers began to sleep again, and then blew up the lair of the reapers. "

"But... But isn't there a plan that can stop the Reapers in advance, or defeat the Reapers in a frontal war?" Whether it is fleeing, accepting the enemy's plan, or even stealing revenge after being hit, in Shirley's opinion Too weak, "Why isn't there a perfect way to keep everyone?"

"Because it's a pity to say: we, including the races of the entire universe, have no way to completely defeat the mechanical race reaper."

Xie Yuan's helpless answer made Xili speechless: "All our technological levels are set by the Reapers in advance, and there are very few powers that can surpass the technological level of the Reapers.

As a race that fully masters all technologies, they even have more than 700 technical reserves in different directions-and we have just reached a relatively basic level. How can we fight a race with complete technology? "

"No need to fight!" Xie Yuan summed up everything in one sentence, "We are at least a thousand years late in front of this kind of super giant - when we found out about this, it was only a few years ago, and we made all preparations. no.

If it weren't for the resistance of the previous generation of Prothean who risked their lives to tamper with the Citadel, we would have defeated it at the beginning-and thus, we had the opportunity to choose survivors to escape. "

"...I still don't believe it." After a moment of silence, Ciri disagreed, "There is nothing we can do."

"It's okay!" Xie Yuan reassured, "Follow me first these few days, and when I finish handling things, you can feel it here, and you will know how...fancy we are here,"

Xie Yuan had a complex look on his face, he spit out a word, and then continued: "But how fragile and stupid it is."

"Okay! I'll go and see for myself." Ciri agreed.

"That's good!" Xie Yuan stood up, "Wake up the cat, let's go now! First the market area, then the afterlife bar."

Ciri, who was just about to stand up and wake the cat up, paused: "Why are we going to the bar? Although I don't object."

"It's one thing to know a bar, but another thing to know a local boss," Xie Yuan put on his cloak, "The main thing is to let you know the master of this planet—"Omega Queen" Elia T Locke, she Also owner of this bar and nightclub."

"A bustard turned out to be the master of this planet?!" Shirley was so shocked that his three views were shattered.

But Xie Yuan immediately "shushed": "Don't say this in person, this old woman over 1000 years old won't listen to this."

"Oh!" Ciri immediately nodded seriously, and made a zip gesture with her mouth.

……

Now that they have reached the market area, Xie Yuan introduces Harold, the Ecoren, to Shirley: "This is the Carrd District, controlled by Harold the Ecoren. The biggest advantage here is that it is stable. .Because two years ago, the incessant war between the Waller and the Batarians for control caused most of the merchants and customers on the space station to transfer their business to the relatively stable Carrd area."

"So, this Harold man is a very good businessman?" Xie Li immediately asked Xie Yuan, while the cat was grabbing Xie Li's trousers, looking at the surrounding affairs timidly.

"I think the others are average, but I think he is very good at the cunning of a businessman and the characteristics of selling the upper class and the lower class."

Xie Yuan looked at the Aike people and told Shili softly in a voice that only two people could hear: "If you have no background and are a stranger, it is best not to buy things here. The bulk of the goods I bought last time After coming out of here, you can meet space pirates within an hour of leaving the space station."

"Ah?!" Shirley was taken aback when he heard it, then glanced around, and recovered his voice, "Isn't that just collusion with merchants and bandits?"

"Yes, but it's a pity that the place you came to is even more lawless than Night City, and Harold is considered a kinder businessman."

Xie Yuan also spread his hands and explained helplessly: "Gaps, weapons, armors or shields are still fair, a little bit more expensive than ordinary markets, but once sold, they will not be returned or exchanged.

If the buyer of a large item is a Ma Daha, he will find a way to make a fortune-but he should not dare to do so recently. "

"Why?!" Ciri became a little interested.

"It's very simple. After I bought the goods with the puppet twice, I left the goods in the space, and dropped a rotten cheap empty ship and a bomb.

Then wait for the pirates to board the ship, "Calbang!""

Xie Yuan made a gesture for the fireworks to scatter: "They all exploded together."

"Then since you've killed the pirates..." Ciri looked at Harold, who was as stable as a rock, "he looks pretty good."

"So I have to say that there is someone behind this Harold—it won't hurt him." Xie Yuan made a lady's first invitation gesture, "Go, I can say that here, Harold is already the most An honest businessman."

Ciri showed a speechless smile, and could only bravely go up and greet the Aike people: "Hi! Boss, have you bought any new products recently?"

"A very happy expression: welcome, a stranger I've never seen on Omega."

The Aike people’s tone is prefixed with happiness: “There is everything here, please feel free to check it by the data pad next to it.

Serious expression: Please note that I am not negotiating prices here, nor advocating returns. "

Ciri showed a "sure enough" expression, and then clicked on the terminal next to it to view it.

Xie Yuan also came up in the same way: "Hi! Harold, long time no see. I heard you hired a Quarian worker?"

"A look of doubt: who are you? Have we ever met?"

Harold was a little puzzled, he didn't know the man in front of him.

"Ha! Harold, Harold, you are such a noble man who forgets things."

Xie Yuan laughed, and immediately changed the topic, pointing to Ciri: "This is my student, Ciri, Harold, you will transfer the weapons and equipment to her later, it must be a new product - I don't know Accept refurbishment."

As he said that, a black-glossy, thin obsidian card suddenly appeared out of nowhere in his hand and dangled in front of Harold: "This card, I only hope that I can use it when I drink and watch dancing girls."

"Serious expression: It turns out that it is Elia's senior VIP. I will definitely fulfill your request."

Harold from Eco stopped for a while and said: "I have a slightly aggrieved expression, in fact, even if you don't tell me, I plan to give the real product - you can't make much money with the M3 Predator pistol and the M-4 Ninja Dart submachine gun. .”

"Hmm! It's good to know, you are a businessman who pays more attention to reputation on Omega, if you are greedy for such a thing... Hehe."

Xie Yuan showed a sneer at this, but before the Aike people could say anything else, Xie Yuan interrupted directly: "Ah, by the way, where is the Quarian I was talking about?"

"A look of compassion: the quarian had lost his travel expenses and had no relatives, so I helped arrange him and let him open a branch as an assistant.

But he doesn't know what kind of madness, he always complains that there are not many customers, and often curses, complains about this and that-I'm afraid he is a little rude to you... If you want any electronic plug-ins, I actually have them here... ..."

Harold struggled hesitantly.

Xie Yuan looked up at Harold, and the Aike people suddenly felt that they were in a bloody and icy environment, cold and afraid.

"This is a guy who has killed many people!" Harold immediately realized, and then secretly cursed himself as a fool—what's the point of provoking a murderer? !

"After all, the quarians often have to experiment with special accessories on their protective clothing, so they are very skillful in identifying this electronic plug-in. Here I trust the experts a little more..."

"Or..." Xie Yuan looked at Harold with a mocking smile on his face, "You just like to abuse your confinement so much that you don't even hesitate to disturb my shopping interest?"

"Negative expression: I definitely don't have it-now that I think about it, the quarians do have a set in this regard"

Harold was in extreme denial, but he began to tremble slightly at this moment - which indeed proved that he was afraid.

After buying the necessary weapons, Ciri left with Xie Yuan in Harold's "Welcome to come again next time" closing speech.

But she was still a little puzzled by Xie Yuan's sneer at Harold: "Are you doing this to get revenge for what happened before?"

"Revenge? No," Xie Yuan shook his head. "Revenge is not with words but with guns. I'm warning him—don't always rely on your blackened psychology to persecute those who have nowhere to go on Omega." people."

Then Xie Yuan told Shirley that because of the astonishingly large gravity of their home planet, the Echo people evolved into this elephant-like appearance on all fours, which led to them being often ridiculed by other races, and even in conflict with other races in the universe. In the early days of racial contact, there was also a dark history of Aike people being captured and ridden as rare mounts.

Harold probably had this kind of experience when he was young before he got his current status, so the inferiority complex deep in Harold's heart made him treacherous and mean, and he especially liked to squeeze this kind of rookie who had just sneaked into Omega. It made him feel extremely satisfied.

The same is true for that quarian - because he lost his travel expenses, he stayed in Omega and worked under him when he had nowhere to go. As a result, Harold suppressed the quarian's business every day, making him starve to death. , and couldn't get together the travel expenses for leaving.

"Ah...this...this Harold is such a softie—ah, what am I expecting?"

Shirley, who was beyond shock, reacted immediately, and after a while of self-mockery, then looked at Xie Yuan: "Then do we need to help that Quarian get out of the predicament?"

"Taking care of his business is the best way to help him - if you help him too much, he will make him mistakenly think that he can only rely on other people's help to get through the difficulties... This becomes a kind of charity and being accepted. charity relationship."

Speaking of this, Xie Yuan shook his head: "And this is not my original intention - I can help others, which is help; but if I solve his problem at once, it is charity.

The latter will have a bad effect on him as well as on us. "

Ciri didn't say anything after listening, but nodded seriously.

However, after they arrived at the quarian's bar, Ciri still spent all the remaining money on the quarian's purchase terminal.

"You won't have any opinion." When leaving, Shirley looked at Xie Yuan and asked.

"How could it be?" Xie Yuan shook his head indifferently, "Anyway, this is your employment deposit, but after you pay the money here, you have to wait until I'm done before I can settle it for you.

Anyway, in my place, food and accommodation are included, but your pocket money has to be paid after completing the collaborative task, no problem? "

"Of course no problem!" Ciri agreed, "I can't wait to see what you're doing."

"Then you have to wait..."

"Buzz...buzz...buzz; buzz...buzz...buzz."

"Huh?! Dr. Modine?" Xie Yuan glanced at the caller ID, and pointed at Ciri with a smile, "You are really lucky, just now you are short of money, and you have the will to control everything and give you money. "

Ciri: "_???"

Xie Yuan didn't explain too much, but directly opened the communication channel of the universal tool to greet: "Hey, doctor, have you gained anything?"

"The harvest is okay... I got a lot of information, but I lack manpower—"

As soon as Modin saw Xie Yuan, he started to shoot at the speed of the machine gun: "The research progress of that thing is coming to an end, the target captured last time is indeed useful...but it is not useful-but don't worry about it, it's your action now It's time for the people to come out."

"Got it!" Xie Yuan nodded, "I'll be right over."

After hanging up the communication, Xie Yuan took out a manuscript from his back backpack, tore off a page, and then took a pen to scribble on the paper, and then handed it to Shirley: "When the time comes, Teleport to this place, we have work to do."

Xili frowned slightly looking at the painting in his hand, then seemed to understand the content inside, then returned the painting to Xie Yuan, and said to him: "I have a clue, I can go."

"Then let's go!" Xie Yuan picked up the white paper and rolled it into a ball, threw it aside and led Xili to walk in one direction.

However, half an hour later, a man wrapped in a coat, wearing a round felt hat, and sunglasses on his face came here and picked up the crumpled white paper.

Then began to spread slowly and gently, and finally restored the crumpled paper to a visible appearance, but then made him pause while looking at it.

"From this piece of paper, I can't seem to see any traces..."

A baritone voice with a thick voice came from the earphones.

"Yes, just like the paper I picked up a few times ago, meaningless smearing signals..." The man in the coat came an annoyed voice, and then suggested, "Boss, I can go and bring that girl over. After so much I don't believe that I will lose to someone who has never done any transformation!"

"What if you lose, Kai Leng?" On the other side of the earphones, the blue pupils of the phantom man flickered for a long time, and after puffing out a smoke ring, he asked suspiciously, "If you really did this in this game , you should know that the two of us will immediately change from business partners to eternal enemies-you may not even survive the scene."

"Boss, I have confidence..." The man in the overcoat, that is, Leng Kai, was still eager to fight.

But then he was interrupted by the phantom man: "No, request to cancel, you can continue to observe the target from a distance before receiving a new task-remember, don't take the initiative to contact without my order, otherwise... If you don't If he beats you to death on the spot... I will clear you up, understand?"

Leng Kai endured it for a long time before finally taking off his sunglasses, revealing a sullen and hateful face... Finally he calmed down and accepted the order: "Yes, I understand, boss."
