Upon hearing Jie's words, Shepard immediately raised her gun and aimed at it. Based on her understanding of the mechanical race, Jie would usually self-destruct at this moment. But this black Jie just lay there and even tossed the sniper rifle in its hand to the side. It looked quite harmless.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?"
Shepard aimed at Jie and asked. Jie nodded in response.
"Yes."
Sherpard frowned when he heard this answer.
"So, do you want to attack me?"
This time, Jie shook its head.
"No."
"Then, why are you helping me?"
Shepard lowered her gun and looked at the robot in front of her curiously. Jie pondered for a moment, then said.
"We've heard of you."
"That's not surprising. I've fought many Jesses."
Shepard wasn't surprised by Jie's words. If this was a game, she could probably get a platinum achievement of "Executioner Jie". She had been chasing after the Jesses these days, so it would be strange if Jie didn't know about her.
"No …."
But this time, Jie Si still shook his head.
"We've heard of you, but we've never met you. You're Commander Shepard from Intergalactic Alliance. You belong to the human race and fight against the heretics. We know everything you've done."
"Heretics?"
Shepard frowned.
"What do you mean by 'heretics'?"
"The Jesses create their own future, while the heretics ask the ancient machines to give them a future. They serve the ancient machines, so they are no longer one of us."
"Wait, wait, I'm a little confused …."
Everyone was taken aback. Then, Sherpard held his hand to his forehead. The information contained in Jie's words was just too much.
"You mean … the Jesses who follow the Reapers aren't one of you. You split up because you didn't want to follow the Reapers' orders? So … the Reapers are also your enemies? "
"Yes."
"But you guys are also a mechanical race."
Sherpard became more and more confused. She had always thought that Jie and the Reapers were on the same side. The reason was simple. During her investigation of the Reapers, Sherpard learned about these terrifying existences. Every 50,000 years, they would come to the Milky Way to harvest all organic life forms. It could even be said to be a battle between organic life forms and mechanical life forms. In Sherpard's opinion, Jie would definitely stand on the side of the Reapers. After all, they were both mechanical life forms, but now it seemed that … she was mistaken?
"We are different from them. We are not part of their plans."
Jie turned his head and stared at Shepard.
"We oppose the ancient machine, we oppose the heresy. Commander Shepard opposes the ancient machine, Commander Shepard opposes the heresy. We can work together to achieve our goal."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend?"
Upon hearing Jie's answer, Sherpard couldn't help but ponder.
"That's right. We've observed your battles and your strength. I can also sense that the people around you also have similar AIs. I think we can reach a consensus."
While speaking, Jie looked at Fangzheng. Fangzheng shrugged and tapped his personal terminal.
The next moment, Yui ran out of Fangzheng's personal terminal, transformed into her fairy form, and sat on Fangzheng's shoulder.
Looking at the little Yui in front of him, Shepard …. Well, Shepard was already numb to it.
At least, compared to a little white cat who could release ice cubes, an AI fairy seemed more acceptable.
"You have keen senses, but I have to make one thing clear. I'm not on their side. We're just in the same line for now."
As he spoke, Fangzheng stepped forward and extended his hand to Jie.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Fangzheng. I'm from the Tendo Temple …. Hmm, nice to meet you? Hello. "
"… ….."
Looking at Fangzheng's outstretched hand, Jie fell silent for a moment, then shook Fangzheng's hand and stood up.
"You're a strange organism."
"Am I?"
"Of course."
Jie nodded.
"According to our records, most organisms are hostile to us, but you're not hostile to us. Besides, you have your own AI …."
"For the record, the Tendo Temple has never created AI."
Seeing that Jie had misunderstood, Fangzheng hurriedly raised his hand.
"We only cooperate and communicate with other AI races. Hmm …. Just like this little guy you saw. She's not an AI I created, but we get along very well, so the two of us work together …."
"You have a strange way of thinking …."
"Ahem …."
Seeing that Fangzheng and Jie were about to have a tea party, Shepard hurriedly coughed and interrupted the conversation.
"Let's talk when we get back. It's not safe here."
"Okay."
Neither Fangzheng nor Jie had any objections, so they returned to the maintenance platform along the way they came. Shepard immediately found a group of people to surround Jie, and from there, he learned the real purpose of the other party's visit. After listening to the story, Sheppard was dumbfounded.
"So, you mean …. the Reapers want to upload a set of codes to control all the Jie's to serve them?"
"Yes."
Jie, who had a gaping hole in his chest, nodded. By the way, if he was a living being, that wound would have been enough to kill him. But now, Jie was still alive and kicking, sitting here chatting with everyone. It was evident that the intelligence of robots was indeed unique.
"We don't agree with the heretics' actions, nor do we approve of them joining the Reapers to deal with organisms. But the heretics obviously don't agree. They're trying to build a large server and inject the Reapers' code into the Jie network to control all of us …."
"So you came to me for help …. Could it be that the Reapers are coming soon?"
At this moment, Sheppard furrowed his brows.
"Yes. We've received information from the Reapers. They will soon arrive in the Galaxy. Once we're completely controlled, Jie will become the vanguard of the ancient machines and fight for them. We need your help to eliminate this threat. "
"That's not a problem."
Shepard nodded without hesitation. She was not a fool. The Reapers were already hard enough to deal with. If the Jie army was added to the mix, they would have a hard time. If she could help Jie resist the Reapers' invasion, not only would she weaken the Reapers' strength, she could also gain an ally for herself. Why not?
But speaking of which, this matter was not that simple ….
Shepard could not help but shift her gaze to the Queli girl, Tally, who was wearing a protective suit not far away. It was common knowledge that the Queli and Jie had a feud. The usually lively girl had not said a word since she saw Jie. As a qualified representative of the party, Shepard felt that she needed to comfort her harem … .no, her companions.
"Tally, come with me …."
As he spoke, Sheppard pulled Tally to the side and whispered to her. Jie didn't think much of it and instead found Fangzheng again to continue the conversation.
"Organism, your thoughts make us feel very interested. May I ask, do you know our history?"
"The history between you and the Queli? Of course I know. "
While playing with the little white cat in his arms, Fangzheng replied casually. At the same time, he placed Yui in her fairy form on the little white cat and watched Yui ride the little white cat around … .it was quite fun.
"What do you think of this?"
"My opinion?"
Hearing Jie's question, Fangzheng pondered for a moment.
"The Queli are stupid … .what other opinion can I have?"
"What do you mean!?"
Before Jie could say anything, the Queli girl next to him was the first to jump up.
"How are we stupid?!"
