Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Collection interior.

The square is regular here, the marble floor is covered with a dark red carpet, which contrasts sharply with the white walls and ceiling, and the overall style is simple and clear.

Under the warm light, what reflects the "attractive" edge are the magical weapons placed in each showcase.

There are blood-red double-edged Cassius guns like the sisters of the Spear of Fear, and there are also hanging on the wall, which was originally the sun bow of Apollo, the god of light, etc., and nearly one-third of the "collections" , all once belonged to a group of fallen gods of Olympus.

As for making Artemis restrain her playfulness and keep her eyes fixed, the main body of Thunder, which is like a "Z" crystal, is placed in the central showcase.

She walked slowly with Sui Bian to the showcase.

Sui Bian, who sensed Artemis' emotions, did not explain anything to her immediately, but completed the biological unlock, opened the cabinet door, stretched out his right hand to take out the thunder, and handed it to Artemis.

Say: "I think it's time to give this to you, thank you for your contributions to humanity over the years."

"This..." Artemis was a little dazed, but still instinctively took the thunder, feeling its moderate weight and cold touch.

She couldn't believe that Sui Bian would easily give her the "supreme" and "infinitely powerful" thunder.

"I know what you're thinking." Sui Bian didn't care. He put his hands behind his back, walked to the right row of display cabinets to watch, and explained to Artemis:

"Whether there is thunder or not, it doesn't matter to me. Infinity plus one still equals infinity, but to you, it is a qualitative change. Besides..."

Speaking of this, Sui Bian stopped, turned around slightly, looked at Artemis who had come not far behind him, and continued: "That is your father's relic, it's time to give it to you."

Sui Bian did this, just as he said just now, while expressing his gratitude, it could also "strengthen" Artemis' strength again.

The current Thunder contains the pure spiritual energy he instilled. If Artemis releases all the spiritual energy at the beginning of the battle, then "exploding stars with one blow" is a basic operation.

In this way, although Artemis, who possesses the moonlight scimitar, full moon bow and thunder, is far inferior to any original body, at least it can easily expel and eliminate high-level demons, "big demons" in different spaces, or It was to kill the green-skinned boss.

Regarding the plundering of psionic energy, even if he didn't say it, Artemis would have known about it a long time ago, and Artemis had proved her worth and gained his trust and approval.

However, twenty-four years ago, Sui Bian had "returned" the psychic power, making Artemis no longer the "blank board" when he first joined Umbrella, unable to use any psychic power, let alone use any "magic" .

As for how much Sui Bian lost after "returning" his psychic energy...it's hard to describe. To describe it according to his own feelings, his psychic energy can be compared to the water of the Dead Sea. If you use a 2-liter bucket , and put it into the dead sea to fill up the part, it is the psionic energy of Artemis in its peak state.

Therefore, if it is not returned, it will not have much impact on Sui Bian at this stage, but human beings can have a hunting goddess who has returned to her peak state and has three sharp weapons.

After listening to what Sui Bian said, and adding the word "relic", Artemis no longer struggled, and accepted Lei Ting calmly. , smiled and said: "Since you are so generous, boss, then I will accept it as a thank you gift, why don't we..."

"Leon needs you to pay more attention." Sui Bian interrupted the other party's words, and turned around completely, looked directly at Artemis, and said a reminder: "The total population of the Temple Star District is less than 40 billion, and the land is vast. There are few people, and the Supervision Department has uploaded a lot of reports on demon incidents recently, and the assistance of you and the gray knight is needed there."

Hearing this, Artemis had no choice but to restrain his joking attitude, Zheng Zheng straightened his face, and nodded solemnly: "I will."

"Okay, let's go."

"Ok."

After the two finished speaking, Artemis took the Thunder and left the collection room, while Sui Bian came to the display cabinet where the Cassius gun was placed, and asked the red and white queens who had never had any sense of existence: " Regarding the investigation after the gods... how is the progress?"

"I have conducted a second screening, and I haven't found any abnormality for the time being." The white queen's prosthetic body showed a hint of helplessness: "Director, according to the description of the hunting god Artemis, the god queen Hera is the best at using " One of the main gods of spells and illusions, if it wants to hide in the world, especially in today's vast territory, it is almost impossible to accurately lock unless it detects "her" large-scale spiritual energy fluctuations."

"The progress of the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Intelligence is equally slow." The Red Queen also said.

"Ok, I know."

After hearing the news, Sui Bian didn't ask any more questions.

Hera, in fact, after Sui Bian "forcibly awakened" Artemis and rescued Hephaestus, he tried to find the queen of one of the twelve main gods of Olympus.

It's a pity that at that time, his psychic energy was far inferior to what he is now, and when he touched the ranks of "planetary-level" psykers, human beings had already entered the interstellar era, carrying out colonization activities inside and outside the solar system. Hera must have left the earth long ago.

Although the God Queen has never appeared and lived in peace with human beings, this does not mean that Hera, like Artemis, can be subtly "assimilated" by Sui Bian and perfectly integrated into human society.

What's more, after the storm in the different space more than 20 years ago, Sui Bian put the search for Hera on the agenda, and "by the way" investigated the gods who entered the different space with Zeus but had no news at all, such as the Greek gods. The famous "good old god", Hades, king of the underworld.

Silence a little.

Sui Bian stopped thinking about admiring the collection and left the collection room instead, telling his two secretaries: "Notify the directors of the Intelligence Department and the Supervision Department, and continue the investigation and search for another period of time."

"Yes (good)." The red and white queens responded in unison.

next.

The lights in the collection room that lost Sui Bian's three "persons" were automatically turned off, but the various collections placed in the display cabinets still radiated and shone with their own light.

outdoor,

outside the building,

As far as the outside of the earth's core world, and in the universe filled with gravel and fragments, one can directly see the Aegis of Terra, which is located in the Kuiper belt and is revolving around the sun.

As a shield world with a diameter of 7,000 kilometers and a mass that is several times greater than that of the earth, it cannot approach the earth at all, otherwise it will bring disaster to the earth, so it has to park in the Kuiper belt at the edge of the solar system.

At this moment, the surface of the Shield of Terra is covered with "natural" geographical features such as plains, forests, and oceans. Moreover, there are many military bases and starports on the surface that are used to garrison soldiers and park various warships and ships.

Fourteen years ago, when Robert brought this artificial planet back to the solar system, it aroused widespread concern and heated discussions in the society.

After the war, the official explanation was that when Robert, Leon and other Primarchs led the expedition to solve the Greenskin Empire, they also captured the planetary-level vehicles built by the "ancient race".

Naturally, the public has no objection to this explanation, which is almost equivalent to "telling the truth", and to a certain extent, they are "accustomed to it".

You must know that in the first expedition, human beings "pull" back a dwarf planet-level city of fraternity. Isn't it normal for the second expedition to "pull" back the Shield of Terra?

What about the third time?

People even began to look forward to it. After all, this is also the best proof that people have absolute confidence in the Legion and the fleet.

As for the position of speaker, even though there is no clear legal provision, theoretically and in terms of tacit "rules", a politician can serve no more than two consecutive terms.

On the other hand, Sui Bian, who has been the speaker for 26 years, is not a simple politician. He is more like a "symbol" to the people, a kind of...

As long as Sui Bian is still "willingly" in the light, human beings will be protected for a long time, and the younger generation will not have the courage to come to invade and provoke.

It can be said that when the society learned that Sui Bian was the father of the Primarch and various deeds, people unconsciously regarded Sui Bian as the "guardian" and the "god" of the human race.

This also ushered in a lot of "distress".

For example, seeing him as a "God" can cause many chain reactions, such as "Lord of Humanity", "Light of Humanity" and other churches and believers.

In this regard, Sui Bian no longer directly dispatched ghost agents as in the past, or the emergency response team of the Ministry of Intelligence to eradicate them forcefully, but this time he "did the opposite". , wrote Human Truth.

In the content of truth, it mainly emphasizes that there are no monsters and ghosts in the universe. Everything can be interpreted through scientific and spiritual means. Human beings will overcome everything with reason, faith and firm belief. Nothing should be worshiped. In the rational universe, The backward concept of "religion" needs to be eradicated completely.

When "Human Truth" was publicized by Queen Bai and Sui Bian delivered a speech in person, Umbrella did not need to deliberately suppress those religions and believers, and people spontaneously boycotted them.

Moreover, the more people believed in "Human Truth" and the words of the "guardian" Sui Bian, the total amount of Sui Bian's spiritual energy would continue to grow.

Therefore, when Sui Bian participated in the 2120th election, he was successfully re-elected with a support rate of 96%, becoming the first "human being" to serve three consecutive terms as speaker.

This result is inevitable. Even if Sui Bian did not carry out any secret operations, the support rate remained stable at 95.33%.

Whether it is military force or "political achievements", Sui Bian is the only one among all human beings, and no one can match him. Therefore, he continued to serve as the speaker of the assembly logically, sitting in the solar system to deter the galaxy.

…

In the warehouse of a star port.

"Hey! You guys, send the goods to the third district, it's the third district, don't make a mistake!"

"Be careful, buddy, these are all goods from the Ministry of Supervision."

Umbrella workers, who can be seen everywhere, are driving engineering mechs and exoskeletons, carrying black containers or sealed boxes of different sizes, to and from the gravity elevator numbered "3" installed on the westernmost side of the warehouse .

At this time, a team of workers transported the goods belonging to the engineering department to the square No. 3 lifting platform. After waiting for about five seconds, a light blue light appeared around the platform. The gate leaves the warehouse.

Float to the outside world.

Sitting in the engineering mecha, the worker wearing the peaked cap turned upside down took a break from his busy schedule, overlooking the entire Xingport under the afternoon sun.

I saw dozens of giant freighters belonging to Umbrella or other companies moored at the star port where they were located, and there were also busy workers taking elevators to shuttle between the freighters and the ground warehouse.

Looking further into the distance, the outskirts of Starport are landscapes similar to African grasslands, as well as the metropolitan area under construction. It seems that this area, and even this planet, is a newly developed colony.

Looking up, it is the "destination" of the workers, a three-kilometer-long, black-painted, specially modified Phoenix III-class aircraft carrier, the Eudora.

The lifting platform passes through the air valve gate on the belly of the Udora's hull, and then uses the left end to dock with the cargo deck of the hull, which is convenient for workers to transport and unload the cargo.

Not far from the air valve gate, there is a group of agents who seem to be "supervising the work". If you look carefully, the two leaders are the blond splits in white shirts and black trousers, Leon S. Kennedy, and wearing a black cheongsam and a red thin King Ada in leather.

Moreover, the "bodyguard" team of agents such as Leon and Ada is also a bit special, because they are all expressionless tyrants equipped with windbreaker restraints. The captain of "their" is the one who fought through hell with D-1999. died, but the tracker who has survived to this day.

The well-funded Umbrella regulatory department has implemented varying degrees of upgrades, stabilization and transformation operations on both the tyrant and the tracker.

Although the height of "their" is maintained at 2.5 or 6 meters, the face and skin of "their" are closer to the appearance of ordinary people, but...the stalker's mouth with exposed gums and the iconic one-eyed eye, but because of "stability" forced to keep.

They are silent, their eyes are bright, and there is even a slight expression on their faces, which means that the tyrants and their followers already have a considerable level of IQ.

"hui~" Seeing the workers leave the cargo hold on the lifting platform again, Leon couldn't help but whistled, then turned on the headset communication, and reminded: "Attention everyone on the Udora, the next shipment should be the last batch of cargo, do it well." Leave the star port and prepare for the leapfrog voyage."

finished.

Leon caught a glimpse of Ada's serious expression from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help asking curiously, "What's wrong?"

"..." Ada stared closely at the largest black container, remained silent for a few seconds, and said, "I don't know, but the things that Crawford and the others dug up from the remains of unknown civilizations always gave me a feeling that this mission might There was an accident."

"Accident?" Leon was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled and comforted: "Miss Wang, how many years have we been partners, are accidents rare? Are they commonplace? Hehe~."

Ada: "..."
