Chapter 538: Inner Ring

"Attention all crew members!"

"Normandy II is slowing down at the port, be careful to fall!"

After finally getting the security code to authorize port calls and confirming the docking area of ​​the port, as the mass effect engine of the spaceship began to shut down gradually, the other decelerated auxiliary engines began to work hard and reversed the deceleration process, and quickly approached Normandy on the Citadel space station. After adjusting the direction and posture, No. 2 slowly flew towards the space station of the Citadel, which looked like a huge octopus with tentacles in the distance, relying on inertia.

Soon, the Normandy II spaceship slowly docked on an empty semi-open pier in the inner harbor of the Fortress Military District, and as the spaceship gradually approached, dozens of fixed docks on the pier stopped. The huge mechanical arm dedicated to the ship stretched out automatically, and not long after, the magnetic disks emitting blue light on the mechanical arm firmly attracted the left and right upper and lower bulkheads of the Normandy II, and directly moved the ship The spaceship was firmly locked in the port.

"Sir!"

"The docking procedures have been completed, and all engines of the Normandy II have been turned off. You can now disembark and land at the port!"

"..."

"receive!"

As the voice of the bridge navigator came from the landing boat, in the next second, a UT-47 landing craft took Shepard, Miranda, Little Anne and others who wanted to go to the castle for the first time. Or the rest of the dozen or so crew members, under the watchful eyes of the mechanical guards of the Divine Castle, slowly flew from the top of the spaceship, and flew to the port personnel landing area a hundred meters away.

That's right, the Citadel of God doesn't provide pick-up service here, if you want to disembark from the ship, you can only rely on small landing craft or shuttle boats!

Because, the Citadel of God is not inside the planet, but just a super-large space station. Although all buildings or high-rise buildings are strictly airtight structures, those breathable atmospheres are only about seven feet away from the ground. The thickness is about one meter... They are pinned down by the rotating centrifugal force and a layer of dense and colorless sulfur hexafluoride gas film, and at the same time, they are positioned and controlled by the precisely adjusted mass effect field.

Therefore, if the people on the visiting ship do not want to suffocate to death, or be captured by the sudden change of gravity and fall to death, they can only use small landing craft to complete the work of getting on and off the ship and supplies.

Of course, there are also some dignitaries who can dock in the closed harbor, and then they can freely enter and exit the spaceship or perform maintenance on the ship, without the need for troublesome shuttle boats! But obviously, a former ghost Shepard who was actually dead, but now suddenly came back to life, definitely won't have that treatment.

Because, some of her privileges that belong to the ghost of the Citadel were directly canceled when she was declared dead by the Star Alliance and the Citadel Council two years ago. Theoretically speaking, she is now a People who don't exist!

"Free action, come back here to report at this time tomorrow, we don't have much time to waste!"

As soon as she jumped off the small landing craft, Shepard reminded the crew members who left in twos and threes, and explained the approximate time she planned to set sail.

"..."

"Yes, sir!"

"Shepard, I'm leaving too, see you tomorrow!"

Soon, including Miranda, some crew members who came to the Citadel for the first time,

They all walked towards the security checkpoint in the distance, leaving only Shepard and a certain little guy beside her.

"Wow! Is this the divine castle?"

"Well, it looks very pretty... that... if this is the case, then I'll go play now, see you again! Big sister Shepard, who is stingy, I will call you when you are leaving I!"

(??0??)??

Finally arrived at this place, and after looking at the surrounding situation for a while, I looked at the surrounding port facilities and the armored steel ground full of sci-fi feeling, mass effect restraint grating windows, various advanced holographic equipment, and coming and going After a while of all kinds of machines, and those crooked stars who looked sorry to the audience, Annie suddenly cheered loudly, and after raising the beautiful multi-tool in her hand, it didn't matter whether the other party understood or not. What did I mean by "calling" just now, I turned around and ran away, intending to run towards the automatic door with a flashing holographic icon on the wall indicating the direction of exit.

Now, she has seen the huge and beautiful cities of the Fortress of God in the distance, presumably there will be delicious and fun things she wants!

So, she just turned around and left, so she didn't want to stay with this sister Shepard, who was said to be going to a meeting later, and who was so stingy! In the past, she talked about everything, and the other party refused to give her a little more money, so what can such a pitiful ten star coins do?

In short, there is nothing in this world that can be difficult for her. Later, she will definitely find a way to get what she wants.

However……

She had just run a few steps with her little bear, and before she had time to run far, she suddenly staggered, and was dragged back alive by someone grabbing her little arm!

"Let go!"

"What are you going to do? You don't even want to give me money, why don't you allow me to go and play by myself?!"

Turning around, seeing that the person who was pulling her was actually the elder sister Shepard who was a bit paralyzed and cold all day long, and what was even more annoying was that she still refused to give her money, Annie said angrily, While struggling to free the opponent's hand.

"..."

"Register your identity first and get the access permit! Otherwise, you will definitely be arrested by the serving C-Sec patrol police later!"

Now this little guy doesn't have any identity information on him at all, even the name in the multi-purpose tool the other party is using and the ID card of the war refugee are just added to the other party by the technician on her Normandy II , whether it is in the Star Alliance, the Citadel of God, or anywhere else, there is no record of it, and it is simply an invalid certificate!

Therefore, such a little guy, let alone want to play in the five arm cities of the Fort of God, under the security system and sensors all over the Fort of God, I am afraid that even the port area If you can't get out of the third gate, you will be caught by the police, right?

"I am me. I am the greatest flame queen, Anne Hastur. Why do I need to verify my identity? Let's just save the troublesome things. I won't mind anyway!"

(ˉ▽￣～)cut~~

Hearing that it turned out to be such a trivial matter, Annie waved her hand indifferently, turned around and wanted to run away.

Unfortunately……

This time she still couldn't run away, even before she even took a second step, she was grabbed again and dragged back brutally.

"You won't mind...but the police will!"

This time Shepard didn't let go, but directly grabbed the opponent's hand and walked forward.

In front, the already empty C-Sec security inspection room is open to them. It is a special passage specially prepared by the Citadel for their unregistered 'Normandie II'. Just now her fellow crew members They've all gone without a trace.

"I am Her Majesty Queen Anne, you can't do this to me, I have the privilege, I don't want to check, I want to play now!"

("▔▔▔)ノ

"Ha! It's useless for you to be the queen of the galaxy, just follow me!"

After helplessly looking around at the port staff who were casting curious glances at her, Shepard dragged him forward with some amusement.

"I'm really the Flame Queen, I'm amazing!"

"Yes! No matter how powerful you are, you still have to go to the security check first!"

"..."

"I'm still the head of the Koprulu sector! If you don't allow me to play, be careful that I call my Armada to scare you to death!"

??(//??Д/??/)??

Are you kidding me, her great Flame Queen Anne, the savior of several worlds, the master of the Sanctuary world, the head of the federation of the Koprulu sector, does not even have any privileges, what kind of security check does she have to go through? This is really unreasonable, she doesn't want to be checked by those guys!

It's not her bragging, Her Majesty Queen Anne herself is the most dangerous explosive, and the broken security inspection equipment will definitely not be able to detect it, which is a waste of her precious playing time.

"Unless this divine castle belongs to your family, otherwise, you just go there with me!"

Shepard didn't care about the little guy's nonsense at all.

What did the other party say that it belongs to the queen and the head of state, return the fleet? Don't be kidding, I'm afraid this little guy is living in a dream. If there is a fleet, how could she still be trapped on that planet AN-5367, and pitifully send signals everywhere for help?

She guessed that the dormancy chamber should be equipped with some kind of brain protection device, allowing the other party to enter some kind of virtual environment to spend the long dormancy protection time while dormant, right?

"As long as I think about it, this dilapidated castle will become my home at any time!"

(????????????)????

Waving the bear she was holding, Anne expressed serious protest against the stingy elder sister Shepard who dared to underestimate her behavior!

As long as she thinks about it, it won't be too difficult to win this castle! Whether it is by skill or by force, she can easily do it.

"Okay! The whole galaxy is your home!"

While pulling the other party forward, Shepard responded with a smile.

"That's not true! My territory is only in the Koprulu sector!"

(..????_????..)

Occupying the entire Milky Way sounds like fun, but it may take a long, long time, and she doesn't have time to stay with Kepulu for a long time.

"The Koprulu star area... I don't remember, where is it?"

Shepard frowned and thought about it hard. She didn't seem to have heard of this star area in the Milky Way. In short, she knew that it would definitely not be the area where the planet AN-5367 was discovered by this little guy.

"The Koprulu star area is in the Milky Way..."

(????????`)

"I don't know whether it is in the Sagittarius spiral arm or the Perseus spiral arm. Anyway, it is on the edge of the Milky Way. My Federation occupies the entire large cantilever!"

This matter really does not blame Annie, she is not interested in remembering those weird planet names and cantilever names! Now, she can remember that the capital of the Federation of Heroes in the Koprulu sector is on Haven. After all, Her Majesty Queen Anne is very busy. How can she have time to think about so many insignificant things?

"..."

"Okay, I understand...Little guy, you better stop dreaming and come and go through the security check with me!"

The entire galaxy has been detected by the Citadel for a long time, but they have never heard of any country or alliance that can occupy the entire cantilever. If it really has that kind of strength, the Citadel has long been under the control of the other party. Among them!

"Damn! Let go, I'm not dreaming!"

(#-_-)╯

"Whether there is or not, hurry up and stand for me!"

However, Shepard did not let go. In fact, she would definitely not let go of the other party until the security check was over.

"Huh! Let me tell you, I'm very powerful. You'd better give me some money, and I can generously give you a battleship in the future. It must be better than the broken ship outside of you!"

(￣^￣) Huh!

Annie has always been worried about the matter of those ten star coins! This stingy guy just gave himself a little pocket money, so what's the use?

"Okay, I know you're amazing!"

"As for the money...let's talk about it another day..."

When it comes to money, there is no chance...

It's not that she, Shepard, doesn't want to give it, but that her landlord's family really doesn't have any food left! No way, after dealing with the matters here in the Citadel of God, meeting the people she should see, and saying what she should say, she might have to go to some planets to search for a few times to get some rare precious metals or even rarer metals. Otherwise, their little money for action might really not be enough?

"You are a stingy fellow!"

(‘д’)

"..."

"Come here quickly, there are only two of us left!"

...

"That's right!"

"I recognize you...the famous galactic hero, the savior of the Citadel, the former ghost of the Citadel——Executive Shepard?"

At the entrance of the security check, a Turian non-commissioned officer had been waiting impatiently for a long time... When he saw that Shepard, who had been declared dead for two full years, finally dragged the Turian who wanted to mess around After the running little human girl came over, he finally couldn't help but make a joke with a strange smile.

Of course, humans with average Turian smiles might not be able to see it.

"Do you mind if I perform official duties now?"

After gesturing at the flat long stick-shaped detector in his hand, the Turian officer asked the ghost of the former castle in front of him with some embarrassment.

"Of course, please hurry up!"

He lowered his head and glared at a certain little guy beside him, telling him not to run around, and after successfully getting a big grimace from the other side, Shepard smiled indifferently, walked to the detection position indicated by the Turian, and stood there. good.

"..."

"Sir Shepard...Unfortunately, my detection device actually shows...You still seem to be a dead person now?!"

Frowning, it took more time to scan and test Shepard up and down than other people, and after confirming that there was no problem with his instrument, the turian officer was surprised to see the living creature standing opposite him. of women said.

Because, he was sure that there was nothing wrong with the results detected by his scanner!

But, the result of the analysis showed that this Shepard is actually a dead person? But if it's a dead person, what's the matter with the other person's heartbeat and blood flow?

"Yes, I died once!"

"But Cerberus brought me back to life again. I don't know what method they used! So, I'm afraid even I don't know what state I am in now."

Shepard has known about her abnormality for a long time. When she was on the Normandy II, she had already tested it many times! She can't be considered a dead person now, but she's not considered a living person... It is said that Cerberus could have resurrected her better, but the time was too hasty at that time, the reaper was watching outside, and people with ulterior motives... It was sabotage in private, so in the end, they had to wake her up in a hurry.

But anyway, Shepard didn't mind much about it.

Although she doesn't know what method Cerberus used to resurrect her who was already dead, she is already very satisfied to be able to live again and continue to work hard for the survival of this galaxy and the Star Federation. Understand.

"Let's test this little girl first..."

The turian officer who didn't know how to deal with Shepard struggled for a while, and planned to finish the last job first, and then think about other things.

"..."

However, the reality is cruel...

When he routinely scanned the scanner in his hand around the little girl's body and read the identity information of the other party's multi-tool, he once again didn't know what to do.

"strangeness!"

"I can't detect any information about her, it's unbelievable... Did you find her from some primitive planet?"

You know, the Citadel of God has now shared data with the Earth's Star Alliance. After a person on Earth is born, all the information will be linked to the database of the Citadel of God at the same time, and then can be queried! Here in the Citadel of God, all the information of all legal citizens of all the member states of the Citadel of God's Council is stored, whether they are alive or dead!

But now, the data of a living human little girl turned out to be blank and unrecognizable?

"Sorry! This little girl is a war orphan I 'rescued' on planet AN-5367. It can be said that she is now a refugee, so..."

Seeing that the other party was in a dilemma, Shepard quickly explained this sentence.

"..."

"Even if you are a war refugee, it shouldn't be like this... Forget it, your affairs are beyond my scope of authority. I think that only my chief, Captain Bailey, can give you the right to pass through the Citadel of God..."

"Don't worry, he is also an Earthling of the Star Alliance, so he shouldn't make things difficult for you."

After thinking about it, the Turian had no choice but to transfer the matter of the two to his chief. To be honest, it was the first time he encountered such a strange situation after working in the Divine Castle for so long.

"OK, thanks!"

"Hey! Annie! Please don't run around, follow me here!"

"Haven't you checked yet? It's really troublesome..."

￣へ￣

"If you don't pass the inspection, you will be unable to move an inch in the castle. If you are arrested, I don't have time to save you!"

"That's impossible, I can go wherever I want, no one can catch me!"

"Yeah?"

"of course!"

"..."

For some reason, Shepard suddenly kind of knew why Miranda was avoiding the little girl.

"By the way! Big Sister Shepard, you really don't want to buy my big Ivans? Let me tell you, they are very powerful. Just one, with a 'boom', this castle will be gone! "

(???????)??

"..."

"You are young, don't learn from those terrorists!"

This little guy just wanted to cheat himself out of money in different ways, and she, Shepard, would definitely not be fooled. In short, no matter what the other party said, she would never give even a star coin!

"Hmph! Don't pull it down!"

"..."

"By the way, I just heard that you are a ghost agent?"

...(,,??????,,)?

"Little Annie, tell me, what tricks do you want to play?"

Sighing, Shepard had to stop in front of Captain Bailey's office that the Turian officer said, and looked at the clever kid in front of him with his arms folded.

"I seem to have some ghost suits for you, do you want them?"

"They are very good, and they are made of special materials. Not only are they very comfortable to wear, but they also have the function of shield generator and invisibility. They are much better than your tattered 'N7' suit. Do you want it or not?"

(???????????????)

"Does a set need 10,000 star coins, and the money will be paid first before delivery?"

No need to guess, Shepard can imagine what the other party will say next.

"no!"

"The ghost suit is a bit cheaper, only 5,000 star coins for a set!"

(??????ε??????)

"..."

"Okay, come in!"

Shaking his head, Shepard didn't say anything anymore, but pointed to the office hatch that opened automatically.

"Hmph! I know you won't believe it!"

o(??^｀)o

"Unless you can show it, I will believe it!"

"..."

"I won't show you if you don't pay me!"
