Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

In the exclusive cabin of the Praise of Courage.

Sui Bian, who put his uniform coat on the back of the chair and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, sat behind the desk, looking at the files compiled by Queen Bai.

The date displayed in the lower right corner of the holographic screen is 2042/07/14.

This shows that a full thirty-one days have passed since Leon and Ada arrived in Arcadia to conduct investigations and lead out the traitors in advance.

During this period, the upgraded Anthem of Courage and Shadow of the Raven also rushed to Arcadia, avoiding the dilemma of the 3rd and 6th legions and continuing to have no flagship.

The file indicates that starting from January 5, 2042, as the director of the Public Security Department of Metropolitan District 04, Firstoroni carried a decorative scimitar (venomous scimitar) with him to work.

Baihou caught Phils suspected of talking to himself through the surveillance camera on January 21.

From February to April, Fiers had frequent contact with Sheriff's Department officials in other metro areas.

On April 4, the district security bureaus and the UNSC 203rd Infantry Division launched an anti-terrorism exercise.

Until April 24, Firth voluntarily submitted an application for resignation on the grounds of poor health.

After May 12, Phils never left the house on the surface, and was placed in various surveillance cameras in District 04, and he was never caught.

However, surveillance cameras have been maliciously damaged one after another, especially the underground system in Area 04.

Then, on June 13, Leon and Ida arrived in Arcadia, and in the underground drain of Area 04, they found Phils who had rotted and swollen to a height of three meters.

Phils' behavior in the past six months has confirmed that the poisonous scimitar is the source of the corruption of Arcadia's high-level officials.

Sui Bian also deduced from this that Samael, who continued to secretly observe human beings, must know that the solar system has no way to start, so he chose Arcadia, which is far away from the solar system.

Carefully planned and fully prepared, using the sacrifice of 200 million people in Arcadia as a bargaining chip, let it gain stronger power and set foot in the real universe.

As the bull-headed demon once said when he was exiled by Artemis back to a different space, "Humans are an interesting species."

This is also the reason why Samael, who has successfully squeezed into the mid-level demon after ten thousand years, will still bite the human beings.

Human beings seem to be the best "food" for their demons.

Finished reading the file.

Sui Bian lightly waved his left hand to dissipate the holographic screen displayed on the desk, then he leaned back in the chair and turned his head to look at the large virtual window on the left hand side.

The virtual window at this moment does not have a virtual rainforest, desert or grassland scenery, but presents a real-time scene outside the ship.

The Praise of Courage is mooring above the shallow sea of ​​Arcadia, and the real-time scene Sui Bian saw was the metropolitan area that was undergoing reconstruction.

After a month, the influence caused by the rebellion and demons gradually faded, and Arcadia was ready to be restored to its original tourist attraction.

Moreover, Umbrella also took advantage of this month's buffer to delete and modify the people who had witnessed Sui Bian's release of psychic powers and directly observed the demons and gray knights.

Then, UEG officially announced to the whole society that a meteorite with parasite eggs fell to Arcadia.

The surreptitious spread of alien parasites caused hundreds of thousands of people to go crazy and attack normal humans in an attempt to further increase their numbers, resulting in the heaviest casualties since humans entered the 21st century.

In the announcement, UEG also stated that with the joint efforts of Umbrella, the parasite that was raging on Arcadia was solved.

Humans in the solar system and the colonized galaxies all helped Arcadia after learning of this incident, launched donations online, or signed up to participate in the construction.

Based on the invasion of colonists 20 years ago, coupled with the transformation of terrestrial planets with atmospheres, humans have also discovered many microorganisms, even insect organisms and small animals.

Therefore, mass society has a higher degree of acceptance of events such as "alien" and "parasites".

Even if it were officially said that there are a large number of intelligent races in the galaxy, people would not be too surprised.

As for extraterrestrial microorganisms, insects, and small animals, they are actually not a big threat to humans, after all, there is the popularity of nano-treatment technology.

It's just that when people hear "parasites", they still feel disgust and fear.

About deleting and modifying memory.

Intuitively, the number of people who saw Sui Bian releasing psychic powers, as well as demons and gray knights was not many, only more than 400,000 people.

Because people who have no ability to resist see the devil, it means death, or being forced to corrupt.

However, the technical team did not delete the memory of the people of Arcadia on the impact of psionic energy and witnessing the Astartes of the Third and Sixth Legions.

One is that more than 200 million people have seen the "golden light", and it is impossible to completely delete and modify it, and the other is to prepare for the Primarch and Astartes to come to the light completely.

Active and ex-UNSC soldiers have long been aware of the existence of the Astartes, and now only the general public remains.

After the relay station was repaired.

People in Arcadia published a large number of posts titled "Golden Light" and "Super Soldier" on the Internet, causing a violent sensation and controversy in the society.

UEG, UNSC and Umbrella chose to remain silent, while the red and white queens, who had been prepared for a long time, only carried out appropriate public opinion control.

And Leon, Ada, Andre, the battalion commander, as well as the mixed team and Krieger's 087 regiment.

As the heroes who destroyed Samuel's plan, the two intelligence agents, Leon and Ada, received bonuses and vacations according to the company's system.

Sui Bian also gave Andre and the mixed team enough remuneration, as well as a chance to choose.

Choose to clear the memory and continue to enjoy a leisurely life, or join Umbrella and continue to fight, because they involve too much truth.

Andre and most of the veterans chose to join Umbrella, while the rest chose to return to normal life.

The 087 Regiment of Krieg, where the battalion commander was, was transferred to the Anthem of Courage by Sui Bian and incorporated into the Dark Angels Auxiliary Army. The defense of Arcadia will be in charge of other regiment headquarters.

For the 087 regiment, the flagship that can be stationed in Sui Bian is the best reward.

And finally the plague doctor.

Sui Bian used his psychic power to purify the entire Arcadia, but he only ruled out the equipment box containing the "soup" captured by the battalion commander and others.

The plague doctor who rushed to Arcadia on an engineering ship saw the thick soup, and said repeatedly, "This is the most difficult plague to eradicate!\

,""With these experimental materials, I can finally perfect the vaccine!" and so on.

In this regard, no one, including Sui Bian, would question the authenticity of what the plague doctor said.

It is the vaccine developed by the plague doctor that makes human beings resistant to whispers from different spaces.

Now that there is thick soup as a material, Sui Bian believes that the complete completion of the vaccine is just around the corner.

Withdraw your thoughts.

He looked away from the virtual window to an ornate wooden box on the table.

Reach out and open the wooden box.

The moment the box lid was lifted, light green light gushed out from the gap, revealing the highly poisonous scimitar placed inside the box.

Sui Bian picked up the scimitar and observed it carefully. He could see that there were exquisite carvings on the blade wrapped in green light.

The length from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle is about one meter. The overall style is similar to that of Greek and Persian scimitars, and also has some shadows of Nepalese sabers.

Observed for a moment.

"The red queen, the white queen."

Sui Bian put the scimitar back into the wooden box, and suddenly asked the AIs standing around him, "How does society respond to Arcadia?"

heard the words.

The Queen Bai, who is good at controlling public opinion, immediately responded: "On the Internet and in the media's discussions, people believe that the giants that appear in Arcadia are super soldiers of the company or UNSC.

After all, the company has been using industries such as movies, games, and comics to instill information about super soldiers into society since two decades ago.

But the most hotly debated point is the psychic blast you unleash, sir, which is so extraordinary that people don't understand it. "

"." The Red Queen nodded in agreement.

"Really." Sui Bian looked at the scimitar on the table in silence, and ordered:

"Notify the intelligence agents distributed everywhere to monitor the newly established religions. Once it is confirmed that these religions intend to use the Arcadia incident to confuse people, they will directly arrest them."

"Yes (good)." The two artificial intelligences responded in unison.

"By the way." Sui Bian glanced at them from the corner of his eye, and tried to ask again: "If the company fully discloses the existence of Primarchs and Astartes, what do you think we will do?

Forget it, the two of you continue to be busy with company affairs. "

?

Hearing Sui Bian halfway through the question, the two artificial intelligences tilted their heads left and right.

The originally indifferent demeanor also showed slight puzzlement, as if they were confused about what their boss was struggling with.

After several updates and upgrades by Umbrella, the two of them already possessed the ability to think independently, and even began to have emotions similar to human beings.

Coupled with the extremely expensive exclusive prosthetic body, the two of them can also make a certain degree of micro-expression.

But even so, there is still a huge gap between their thinking and human beings, and they cannot help Sui Bian to solve the confusion.

If Sui Bian told these two of his entanglements, he might get a very strange answer.

As for the tangled point

What kind of position should he be in after the Primarch and the Astartes have completely come to the fore?

At some point, in Sui Bian's plans for the future, the whole of human beings was given priority.

Even the ambition of his great expedition is to hope that human beings can wipe out dissidents and have stronger strength and a wider territory.

It's not that Sui Bian never thought of imitating a certain hammer, another "father" who likes to wear gold power armor, but the result...

"Ok"

Sui Bian frowned tightly, and shook his head silently.

"Shua~-!"

At this time, the sound of the metal automatic door opening made Sui Bian end his brief entanglement.

He looked to the right.

Then I saw Artemis, who took off his power armor and put on a black military uniform, with long hair scattered, walked into the cabin.

And jokingly said: "Boss, after listening to Bai Hou, you have something to ask me? Could it be that you want to give me a raise?"

After finishing speaking, Artemis pretended to look forward to it.

"It's not a salary increase."

Sui Bian ignored the other party's ridicule, he got up and left the office chair, walked to the left side of the desk, glanced at the wooden box on the table, and said:

"But I was thinking that this knife should not be a weapon that can be measured by money."

"Knife?"

Artemis stopped joking and walked to the table. After seeing the poisonous scimitar placed in the wooden box, she instantly understood Sui Bian's intentions.

She was a little shocked.

Sui Bian continued:

"I gave your hunting bow to Sanguinius, and you lost your divine power, which made your elder brother, the craftsman, unable to create a weapon comparable to the hunting bow for you.

As compensation, I entrust it to you, hoping that with its assistance, you can kill demons more efficiently. "

Listening to Sui Bian's words, Artemis stretched out his left hand, touched the cold blade with his fingertips, and felt the pure spiritual energy contained in this knife.

She remembered that the scimitar was the weapon used by the traitor Phils.

It should have been full of chaos, but now it was clean and flawless. Artemis didn't need to think too much, knowing that she couldn't break away from her boss.

So he asked curiously, "What's its name?"

"You won't like it, get another one for it." Sui Bian said with a light smile.

"Well, although this knife is not as good as my bow, it is better than nothing, so I will thank the boss."

Artemis smiled with satisfaction, and closed the wooden box.

"Thank you, and this knife is not given to you for nothing." Sui Bian waved his hand and said, "The company is going to set up a new department, and we need you and the gray knight as consultants."

"A new department? About different spaces and demons?" Artemis said, holding up the wooden box.

"That's right." Sui Bian didn't deny it:

"In a few days, you will personally go to Minos Island to pick potential intelligence officer graduates, and then bring them to Titan to receive training against different spaces and demons.

Also, I think the retired major named Andre and the veterans of the former UNSC 1st Airborne Division are very good, let them also go to Titan for training. "

"What's the name of the department?" Artemis asked again.

"For the Supervision Department of Different Spaces and Demons, but I prefer the nickname of this department that has not yet been established... Demon Hunter." Sui Bian's tone was slightly aggravated, and he continued:

"The goals of the gray knights and the six servants of God are too obvious to be suitable for secret investigations, but specially trained intelligence agents and soldiers should be perfectly competent."

"Demon hunter?" Artemis murmured to himself, then nodded in response: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

"Attention, colleagues, this ship is about to arrive at the airport at Luna Base, check your belongings and get ready to disembark."

Inside the cabin.

People sitting in spacious seats are either working with laptops that look like ultra-thin chips, or taking a nap with their eyes closed.

After hearing the broadcast reminder, people stopped what they were doing and began to simply pack up, waiting for the ship to berth.

As for the woman sitting in the last row of the cabin, on the right side, she didn't get up to tidy up.

Through the sealed porthole installed on the bulkhead, she quietly watched the universe scene outside the window.

With short blonde female hair and looks similar to William Birken and his wife, it means that her real identity is Shirley Birken.

Also an intelligence agent affiliated with Umbrella.
