Port D1 in the ring area of ​​the Godcastle Space Station, Pier D24, where Normandy 2 is docking, is now surrounded by a large group of fully armed Turi soldiers. Even the exit outside the port was blocked by a Turi cruiser commanded by a street to strictly prevent any possibility of Normandy 2's risk or trapped beasts.
If Normandy II dared to activate the mass effect engine now, the large Turi cruiser blocked at the exit would definitely bombard directly with ready-made secondary guns and use artillery fire to destroy the newly built brand-new Normandy II spacecraft not long ago!
Of course, at this time, in addition to the Turi soldiers who surrounded the entire dock, inside and outside, holding their weapons tightly, staring at them as if they were facing a great enemy, there was also a joint investigation delegation composed of Asari, Serari, Turi, and Star Alliance humans from the Council of the Godcastle.
They want to thoroughly investigate Shepard, the ghost of the God Castle, and the crew members, especially to investigate whether there are any smuggling activities that are not officially recorded!
This was actually what Udina, the sophisticated Advisor of the Human Council, suggested first. For the sake of fairness, we will form a temporary group to jointly investigate with the Turkish law enforcement team, and we will find the source of the weapons of the thugs!
Unfortunately, so far, all the spacecraft unloaded by port during this period have been investigated, and even used intelligent AI to screen all the materials list at the port of Shenbao in a year... However, except for the Normandy II, the cargo or documents of other spacecraft are well-organized. Apart from the occasional discovery and capture of some unlucky guys who smuggled luxury goods, neither the investigation team nor the Turi people found any valuable clues!
Therefore, the weapons in the hands of the rebel rioters who were still fighting with the Turi soldiers in the Third Guard District were likely to have flowed out of this Normandy No. 2. At least the Turi people thought so, anyway, it was the most suspicious! From the mouths of some of the insurgents captured, reliable evidence has been obtained: less than half a day after Normandy No. 2 arrived at the port, the armed insurgents suddenly obtained a large number of high-tech weapons, so this cannot help but think about it!
Although Turi people have checked all the surveillance of ports and the Third Bath Area Channel, think tanks and intelligent AI have never understood how those weapons were smuggled into the "foundation" world, but... this does not prevent them from locking their suspicious eyes on Shepard, who is said to be unclear with Cerberus!
Therefore, after investigating all the ships in Hong Kong, the joint investigation team and the Turri came here!
The Turi people, who had already suffered heavy losses in the battle in the Third Guard District, were in a hurry to prove that it was Normandy II, which was the resurrection of Shepard, who was associated with the terrorist organization Cerberus, led the rebellion, so they sent hundreds of troops and a warship to surround the place!
However, the only thing that made General Turui feel a little dissatisfied was that in addition to his people and Normandy II, which was about to be investigated by him, there was also a group of trouble-free guys assigned by the Council, which made his original obscure plans fall short and he had to do things in accordance with the rules of association in a regular manner.
"Oh……"
"I don't understand. It's okay if you don't let my Normandy 2 leave the port. Now you are still here with such a big fanfare and have the soldiers surround me, my crew and the spacecraft. What do you want to do?!"
Shepard, with Miranda and his return report, stood in the port passage, and glanced at the Turkish soldiers surrounding them and the group of castle bureaucrats who were slowly walking towards them.
She knew none of those people except Anderson's consultant Udina!
The reason why she was not nervous or surprised at all except anger was actually because just now, her elder General Anderson sent her a message as soon as possible! Although the other party just notified her that the Castle Council was going to conduct a thorough search of her Normandy No. 2 and did not say much, but now, seeing this situation, she also vaguely guessed something.
Looking at the distance, there was smoke and gunfire, the city of the Third Guard District that had already been in chaos... I'm afraid these guys must have thought that Shepard had some connection with those rebel guys?
snort!
This unfounded suspicion is simply funny!
Shepard was busy pursuing and investigating the matters of the harvesters and collectors, and was busy saving the Milky Way, so where did she have time to come to the God Castle Space Station to make trouble?
Besides, she has now regained her post and has become a tall and powerful "Ghost of Gods". How could she get involved with a group of thugs? To put it bluntly, she has never entered the "foundation" world of the Gods Guard District in the more than 20 years of her life. What is it like? She has only read it in the information. How could she have contact with someone inside and plan a riot?!
“Or…”
"My current sexual identity as a ghost in the castle is no longer as effective as before, so you Turkish people can accuse me of arbitrary accusations?"
So, after thinking about it this way, she spoke unceremoniously and mocked the Turui general who was leading the way.
Thinking about it now, it is very likely that her death and the spaceship that ambushed her back then may be really related to the Turi people?
Look, she has just been resurrected and returned to the divine castle and successfully regained her post, but the result is... Before she could warm up the ghost of the divine castle, these thunders came to target her again!
This uncovered hostility and false accusation have been so obvious. If it weren't for their Turkish people who had objections to her, Shepard, how could they have achieved such a breakup?!
“…”
However, the Turkish general just stared at Shepard coldly. His natural evolution of the armor-like metal exoskeleton of his race was motionless, and no one knew what his attitude was now.
But it's definitely not too friendly.
Thinking about it, as early as 2157, the Turi people had their first contact war with the humans on Earth, which was the "314 repeater incident" that the Turi people called! Then, Turi people who fired the first shot were finally defeated by the weak humans on Earth... And before the furious Turi people had time to launch a full-scale war and launched a revenge attack, the Asari, who liked to meddle in business, came forward to mediate, and directly introduced these people on Earth to the god castle and forced them to reconcile both sides. How could the Turi people not hold a grudge?
At the beginning, their Turui patrol fleet discovered that after the Charon repeater was activated and used, why was the safety of the Milky Way forced to attack the human colony...
After all, everyone knows that it is very dangerous and crazy to activate any newly discovered mass repeater at will, and it has touched the bottom line of the Godcastle Convention. Human beings should not do that! Even among the entire Godcastle Parliament member states, so far, the known Milky Way has only been explored about three percent, and no one knows what is opposite to a newly discovered mass repeater!
Therefore, at that time, they just wanted to warn the humans that they might think that the colony's armed forces were the entire military power of humans, but as a result... those humans were like crazy, gathered together a large fleet and beat their Turi's patrol fleet to suffer heavy casualties and fled in defeat?
So, until now, some Turi people still hate humans, and they must also include this Turi General!
On the contrary, the same is true. Many humans are still secretly hating the Turi people who attacked the Shanxi colony! In short, less than thirty years have passed. The humans who were hurt by the Turi people or died of their relatives under the Turi gun are still alive. That kind of hatred is not so easily erased.
"Shepard!"
"You don't have to be nervous. This is just a routine inspection of the rebellion by the God Castle Council! As long as there are no contraband found on your spacecraft and there are no records of those harshly sensitive materials flowing out, you will naturally leave safely after the inspection is completed."
Before the two sides began further conflicts, Star Union's MP adviser Udina smiled and came forward to smooth things over the two sides, trying to ease the atmosphere.
"Now the staff of the Council and the Turret military will work together to conduct a thorough and comprehensive inspection of your Normandy II. I think you shouldn't mind, right?"
Udina said this kind of words just politeness and some hint. He wanted to see something from Shepard's face in advance so that he would prepare his words and response methods in advance.
Anyway, inspections must be checked. How can you not check if you have put in such a situation?
Now there is such a big rebellion on the God Castle Space Station. Not to mention that Shepard is so suspicious, even if the other party is not suspicious, it will definitely be investigated. If the other party refuses or boycotts rashly now, it will only backfire.
"Hmph! You guys are all like this, I have the right to refuse?"
"If you want to check it, check it... but I can declare first: If you can't find anything later, you should let us go earlier. I don't have so much time to watch those useless Turi people and a group of thugs play house."
Yes, it’s just a house play! Before, when a little girl left and ran to play wild, the little guy said: ‘Looking at those crooked people playing house play games, it’s not fun at all’!
"This is the worst 'war' I've ever seen? Look, a riot created by the thugs was actually beaten to this way by the Turi people?"
"I'm really worried about their abilities!"
Shepard, who was treated as a suspect and surrounded by a group of people, was angry, and just showed off his words and ridiculed the general of the Turui who had become increasingly ugly with a gun and a stick.
“!!”
The leader of the Turui man suddenly stepped forward, and with his height advantage, he looked down at Shepard, who was also staring at him with cold eyes, and had a tendency to fight one by one if he had a disagreement.
“…”
"Okay, OK, since Shepard has agreed to the inspection, everyone, let's start!"
Shepard shook his head at the slightest reluctance. After guessing from the other party's performance that the other party should have nothing to do with the rebellion in the Third Guard District and was unaware of it, Udina breathed a sigh of relief and directly reached out and signaled the representatives of the Council to board the ship together with him and other staff to check each cabin. They also wanted to check each cabin, including the investigation of the ship's cargo records, unloading records, and personnel boarding and getting off the ship, etc.
Fortunately, this Normandy II is a new ship, not too big. The information should not be too much, and it will not take much time for them.
"What, General Turui, don't you check the contraband on my ship?"
"Maybe, there are really stolen goods or other things you need on it?"
When the representatives of the Council, other prosecutors and many Turi soldiers flew straight to Normandy II in the port on several fast transportation, Shepard once again looked at General Turi who was still standing in front of him and did not go on the ship together.
"They are responsible for investigating the items on the ship, and I am responsible for checking the personnel who left the ship and arrived at the God Castle space station!"
“Um…”
"Hmph! Shepard, are you sure that this is all the crew members of your spaceship leaving the ship today?"
He stared at the female human in front of him with anger and vicious eyes for a while, and knew that he could not do anything to the other party without conclusive evidence. He could only barely suppress the anger in his heart and began to scan the people around Shepard who were about to be examined by him.
He just counted in secret. They seemed to be inconsistent with the number of people in the customs records... It seems that one missing?!
Will it be, the one that is missing is the breakthrough?
"snort!"
"There is another little girl who ran out to play and still has come back. Why? Do you want me to pull her back immediately now, and then you can investigate whether she is colluding with the rebellious thugs?"
Without looking at it, Shepard herself knew who was missing among them! So she continued to snort coldly and mocked the Thunderbolt in front of her indifferently.
In her opinion, Little Anne was just an eight-year-old girl. She never thought that little girl could get involved with the rebellious thugs. As long as someone with a normal mind was probably not going to think of such outrageous things.
“…”
He stared at Shepard's face again for several seconds before General Turui turned his head hatefully and looked at the Turui employee named Harun beside him with an inquiry look. The other party was holding a customs data terminal, which recorded all the information of the personnel who had cleared today.
What he wanted to check were those people who left the ship and entered the port from Normandy No. 2!
"Yes, sir!"
"I personally checked them in the security at that time... In addition to the people they are now, there is indeed an eight-year-old human girl. Now she should be... uh, she is back?!"
The staff of the Turi People Customs Department had just wanted to use their universal tools to cooperate with the terminal of the Customs Department to prepare to call out the holographic images of the little girl and the location where she was active. But when he turned his head, he found that a little human girl was rudely pushing away the martial-hardened Turi soldiers, then rubbed the swelling bear in one hand and a bulging bag in the other hand, and ran to the group of people.
Then, he turned off the computer terminal and the universal tools in his hand as if he was relieved, and pointed to the little earthly human who was looking at them curiously, saying.
Now, all the personnel who passed the security check on Normandy 2 have arrived today, so he doesn't have to explain anything anymore.
“Huh?”
"Are you alien monsters who are ugly, handsome but shameless, come here, are you trying to play some interesting games?"
(??????????????)????
After just running around in the castle for a while, I saw these aliens surrounding me as soon as I came back. They looked fierce. I was definitely not doing anything good, but I didn’t want to fight?
This made Annie feel a little confused. She didn't know what bad things they wanted to do around her, so she spoke out without hesitation and scolded them.
"you!!"
The Turui General was in a bad mood and almost couldn't help getting angry again. He had been provoked enough times today!
However, fortunately, he remembered that this short little human was just a young individual on Earth, so after breathing for a few seconds, he barely suppressed the anger that was about to burst out.
He disdained to vent his anger with a little human being, so that no one could talk about their outrageous gossip.
"puff!!"
Standing behind Shepard, Miranda, who had been vaguely guarding against the thunder soldiers, was ready to attack at any time, suddenly couldn't help laughing.
Because the little guy just now said that image was really so vivid!
That's right, according to the data, the core of the Turquoist's parent star, Palevin, is weak in the earth's core due to the lack of metallic matter, which leads to the thinness of the atmosphere, so that too much solar radiation can penetrate the atmosphere directly and shine on the ground... Therefore, most creatures on the Purquoist planet naturally evolved exoskeletons with metal texture to seek self-protection under radiation, and of course, including the bone-like facial armor on these Turquoist's faces now!
That is not their protective gear, but something they grew up on themselves!
If you think about it seriously, you will be really "faced but shameless" guys!
"Hahaha... Little Annie, I find that I am beginning to like you, a well-behaved little clever guy!"
They were originally racial fanatics who pursued human supremacy, and all non-humans were disliked by them! And now, this little guy embarrassed those hateful Turi guys in public, and of course she could be happy for a while.
Anyway, Shepard had offended these turbulent people just now, so it is definitely okay for Miranda to smile now, and there is no need to cover up anything else.
"But I don't like you, a fierce bad guy!"
(????_????)
That's right, both Miranda and Shepard, these two elder sisters are fierce and want to bully her all day long! If she hadn't given up on them on purpose, let alone herself, even the bear would have slapped them to death.
"You hateful little devil!"
Miranda was angry and planned to reach out to pull the other party's white and tender little face.
"I won't let you catch you, a bad guy!"
(???????????????)???°
As soon as he turned around, Anne easily shrank behind Shepard's big round butt, avoiding the claws of some evil woman.
“…”
Seeing that these hateful humans actually turned them into ignorance, General Turui began to play on his own, after taking a deep breath and calming down his anger and resentment today, he once again looked at the Turui Customs clerk who was standing impatiently with a pound.
"Everyone... Since you have all the staff now, let's start now."
"Today, all the crew members who went to land and passed the level and entered the castle, please immediately open your universal tools. We want to check your walking route today! Please rest assured that as long as there is no suspicion, castle Ai will be responsible for keeping it confidential!"
Seeing that General Turi had become very impatient, the Turi's Customs Office staff quickly took out another instrument and greeted the Normandy II crew members.
In fact, the content of this inspection is very simple. It is just to check the walking routes of these people after they arrive at the castle and who they have contacted, and then compare the monitoring of the castle to check! As long as the people who have contacted directly or indirectly have no intersection with the thugs in the "foundation" world during this period, the suspicion can naturally be cleared.
This complicated and complicated work is directly responsible for the core intelligent AI of the Castle. He only needs to use instruments to scan the universal tools of the Normandy No. 2 crew members. The whole process will not exceed three seconds, and the number of people who pass the level is only so small that he will not waste his time.
"Do I need to check too? But, what should I do?"
(????????????)?
Thinking that checking was a fun thing, Annie began to follow her own universal tools and press the messy buttons hard, but for a long time, she couldn't find the option that the other party said to call out her walking route today.
"Just forget it, go away!"
Before the customs clerk of Turui came to check, the very impatient general Turui first glanced at the little human girl coldly, then snorted and waved his hand, and told the other party not to make trouble like a fly, then turned his head and watched the staff of the Customs clerk inspect Shepard and Shepard's men.
He didn't want to waste time on this little human girl, a young body who was not a grown-up, and he didn't think the other party would be related to what happened today!
In fact, after the board of directors got involved, the investigation they conducted was just a routine investigation before the battle in the third zone was officially over. From Shepard's fearless performance, you can guess what the final result was. Anyway, he no longer has any hope for himself now.
"Damn monster, the Huo Xingren, why don't I check it out for such a fun thing?"
??(??`^????)??
“Um…”
However, before Annie could say something, Shepard, who had already checked, came over and grabbed her face, attracting her attention to the hand that was causing trouble on her face.
"Stop it, little guy, this is not a fun thing!"
After pulling the other party to the side and waiting for someone to check, Shepard squatted down and reminded him. Then, naturally, her eyes were attracted by a bag held by the other party in his other hand.
"What's this?"
Smelling that charming fragrance, Shepard felt that it seemed like a snack to eat?
But... she clearly remembered that she gave this guy ten star coins. Even if the other party was eating and drinking for free in that unlucky hotel and not spending any star coins, she would not be able to buy so many big bags of snacks, right?
She knew the price level of the Shenbao Space Station, and it can definitely be regarded as the highest place in the entire Milky Way, no one! With ten star coins, the purchasing ability is really limited, just like what she said before, that is, how much candy candy can be bought?
"oh……"
"This is the delicious food I just bought. It seems to be the specialty of Sercia, an alien mother named Asari. It's really delicious. Do you want to have some?"
(????????????)?
Anne took out a flat, flat thing that looked like an animal but a bit like a plant fruit from the tough green paper bag in her hand, and threw it into her mouth and chewed it in big mouthfuls.
The charming fragrance spread from her mouth and paper bag to the surroundings, making many crew members and Turi people unable to help but look over.
“…”
"You have money to buy this? This thing is very expensive!!"
Shepard didn't think about sharing something with the child. She just looked at the big paper bag in the other person's hand and the snacks inside... These things, these specialties produced from the Ashalee's mother star, were of course Shepard knew the value of their value, and had eaten some.
At the same time, she also knew that the ten star coins she gave to the other party could not even buy one, let alone the big bag now... At least, it costs tens of thousands of star coins, right?
It's like eating money!
"Ha! I won't tell you!"
(??＞??＜)??
Anne, who just continued to eat her own food, thought for a while and blinked slyly, without intending to tell her source of funds now.
"Little guy, wouldn't you just run away after taking the stuff?"
Shepard was already thinking about it. When a food store employee was carefully handing the snacks to the little girl, and was about to wait for the other party to pay the bill or the other party's parents to pay the bill, the little guy in front of him ran away, leaving behind an awkward scene when he stood in a stunned and at a loss.
I guess the police from the C-Sec Department of Security will come to the door soon, right? Or maybe they think that the current castle is too messy, and they plan to wait until the Third Guard District is pacified before dealing with it. If that is the case, she will be investigated later, and she must drive Normandy No. 2 as soon as possible!
When she passes through the Omega 4 repeater, if she can still come back alive, she will come to the castle again and think about how to pay back that amount of money?
"I'm not! I've paid!"
(ー`??ー)
Annie has never done anything that she doesn’t pay for buying things! She would rather use force to rob things directly, than do things that would lose points if she doesn’t pay for buying things.
It was her own ability to steal it by force, but if you run away without paying money for buying things, it would be a bit of a shame to her Queen Anne's face. She would be laughed to death by her subordinates when she said it! And the bear is the same. If she really dares to do that, it will definitely laugh at itself for at least a hundred years!
"But the money you came from?"
Well, after asking around, Shepard found that things seemed to be back on the question of star coins! Sure enough, although money is not a good thing, it is absolutely impossible to have no money. For example, the mission she was preparing to save the Milky Way. If the funds were sufficient, she would be more at ease, right?
It's pitiful to think about it. They are obviously working hard for the safety of the entire Milky Way, but they have to worry about funds, personnel, other materials and other things. She has also talked about the existence of the Reapers many times, and has also said that they will soon return to the Milky Way to harvest advanced civilizations. But whether it is the God Castle Council or the Star Alliance Parliament, they don't believe it, and don't give her too much support, and forced her to cooperate with the group of terrorists of Cerberus. How could she feel?
The group of Cerberus, which was identified by Star Alliance and as terrorists by the Godcastle, cares more about the survival of the Reapers and the Milky Way than any official organization. This matter itself is a huge irony!
"I won't tell you!"
??(ゝ???????)
“…”
...
"Sir! After the investigation, no abnormalities were found!"
Soon, while Shepard and the lawless little Annie were tangling, the Turui employee of the C-Sec Customs Department had completed the investigation, so he submitted it to the General Turui who had been cold-faced with a brief report on his investigation.
The report shows that the crew members who left Normandy 2 and passed the level and entered the Godcastle Space Station had nowhere to be noted except for Shepard, who braved the fire and ran to the top floor of a hotel in the third area and rescued a little girl who was reluctant to leave in the hotel and didn't want to leave!
Even Shepard, since entering the castle, he had been in the ring area and the office of the Human Council Members. During this period, he even met three council members. He did not hurriedly pick up the little girl there after the battle and riots...
Therefore, whether it was Ai's analysis or his own opinion, the Normandy crew had no suspicion at all! As for the little girl, like their generals who turbulently, he did not even have the desire to ask Ai to investigate.
“…”
After returning the data terminal to the staff of the Customs Department, General Turui waved his hand and signaled him to leave, and turned to the convenient transportation tools of the gods who were flying back from Normandy No. 2 at that time.
"Report!"
"General! There is no abnormality on Normandy II!"
Before the other party could ask questions, a responsible Turkish soldier quickly ran to their general and reported loudly.
Just now, they checked all the cabins and loading and unloading data on Normandy II, and then they did not find any suspicious items! The ship, except for replenishing some supplies in the castle, did not unload anything from the ship at all, let alone so many, enough to arm at least several thousand thugs.
Such things are definitely not fake!
After all, there are so many surveillance and staff in this port, including many Turi people and other races. The spacecraft is still suspended in a port connecting the universe. How can it be possible to load and unload cargo without being discovered?
"Shepard, your suspicion has been cleared. You can leave at any time after the procedures are completed!"
Seeing that the battle in the third guard district in the distance had gradually advanced to the end of the city, the battle was expected to end soon and the thugs would be pushed back to the "foundation" world, Udina breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Shepard.
It would be better if the other party is not suspicious, otherwise they would have been flirting with sex!
Whether the Turui people investigate or not, their Star Alliance will definitely continue to investigate! Some people use their human words on weapons to slander Star Alliance. This is a very serious and bad behavior, and they will never tolerate it!
"Hmph! I will!"
After letting go of the little Annie's shoulder, Shepard stood up unhappily, looked coldly at the thrust soldiers who awkwardly removed the encirclement formation and began to evacuate in an orderly manner.
She couldn't help but be angry. Anyone who was framed and investigated for no reason would always be resentful! She once again held a grudge against these Turi people who were on the surface and were hostile to each other with their human allies.
"Are you looking for something good?"
(,,???????,,)?
After tossing here for so long, Annie seemed to have figured out something from the expressions and words of these people, that is: the bad guys seemed to be looking for something, and then she suspected that Sister Shepard stole them?
She thinks that if they mobilize so much, it must be a great thing, right?
"It's nothing, I just want to find the kind of weapon used by the bad guys who fight outside!"
At this time, Miranda couldn't help but come over, and grabbed a handful of snacks from the big paper bag in the hand of Annie in nowhere, and then said indifferently while eating.
Even Miranda didn't know what else was on their Normandy, how could they find it? Humph! These wine bags in the castle will only mess around. If you don't do the serious things to resist the harvesters, you will only stay in this big coffin-like space station. There will always be times when they regret it!
"The weapons of those bad guys fighting outside?"
(o??▽??)o?
"But……"
"The weapons used by the bad guys outside were obviously sold to them by me... I didn't put them in the boat, how could they find them?!"
╮(￣▽￣)╭
When the little Anne, who felt a little bored, said it loudly without any worries when she heard those guys were actually looking for those things.
(…)
(Ouch! My little ancestor... Can you be careful?
(*/??＼*)
Now, even Tebs can't stand it anymore! Even if you really want to say this, can't you wait for those guys to leave before talking about it? Look at it now, countless pairs of eyes are staring at you, and it must be a world war soon?!)
“…”
“…”
The delegations of the Council members looked at the little girl who was eating specialties with Asari snacks, including Udina, all stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.
"Little girl..."
"Are you sure that those things were sold from you? Who instructed you, is it that Shepard?!"
At this time, General Turui suddenly became energetic and asked in an excited tone. Just now, they didn't investigate the little girl because they had never thought that a little girl would be related to those things, but now, the other party didn't even tell themselves?
"No one instructed me!"
"I just met that toad monster, and then I changed and directly transformed into a lot of weapons and sold them to him!"
ヽ(￣▽￣)??
That's right, the truth of the matter is Jiang Zi!
When she really had no money and couldn't make money, Little Annie had to play a guest role in an arms dealer, and sold most of the things she had accumulated, which might never be used, to the toad monster in packages and sells them to the toad monster!
"What changed...? How did you change?"
The Turui general felt a little confused. But the weapons and equipment equipped with thousands of armed thugs could be transformed?!
"I used a magic and then transformed it! Those weapons can pile up into a hill!"
(??)☆
Little Annie continued to say proudly, completely ignoring the expressions of everyone around her.
“…”
“…”
"Changed..."
"Okay, everyone, go back, it's all right here..."
Finally, after his face changed, the Turui general waved dejectedly, signaling the troops to evacuate and no longer cared about the little girl's nonsense!
