Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

In a private cabin.

Storage body Xiang Sui Bian and the two artificial intelligences, after explaining the past of the Milky Way Coefficient tens of millions of years ago, their faces are still indifferent, but their voices are full of loneliness and sadness:

Recyclers...no, human beings, when you hear my words, it means that we managers, our Qiumin clan has long been a thing of the past.

Although I can't guide you in person, my memory will tell you about the past of the galaxy, and at the same time, I will also judge whether you are qualified to accept my teachings based on your current civilization level and social system.

Finally, please don't make our mistakes.

Immediately afterwards, the storage body seemed to have finished playing Alia Hongtu's pre-recorded words silently, and continued to maintain an emotionless appearance, waiting for the next question to be answered.

...

At this moment, Sui Bian, who had heard everything, was in a state of shock.

He had thought about the past of this universe, but he never thought that it would be as ups and downs as described by the storage body, and he also experienced the kind of managers when facing storms in different spaces and demons raging in the real universe...

Endless despair and exhaustion.

Compared with the forerunners in Halo, the Qiumin family in this universe is definitely worthy of their self-proclaimed managers.

Although both have become the overlords of the galaxy, their attitudes towards other races are completely different.

One is to stabilize the hegemony.

One is willing to assist secretly.

Sui Bian couldn't help but feel admiration. If there is no existence of different space, according to the control of managers following the rules of nature, the prosperity of various races and civilizations may have already left the Milky Way.

It's a pity that there is no if in this universe. .

According to the time node described by the storage body, 66 to 65 million years ago, the mass extinction of creatures in the Cretaceous period on the earth was most likely caused by the halo pulse wave.

Soothe my mind.

Sui Bian changed his standing posture leaning on the fixed table just now, put down his crossed hands and walked forward.

Coming to that storage body, with enough respect in his tone, he said to it: Thank you for your dedication, I, my descendants, and even all human beings will take over the great cause you failed to complete.

However, there is no storage body of any wisdom, unable to understand Sui Bian's respect for the manager, and mechanically responded:

Please give clear instructions.

See here.

Sui Bian didn't care, and asked after a moment of silence, I want to know the specific locations of the Ark, Halo and the rest of the shield world.

In order to avoid being occupied and used by creatures in different spaces, the administrator set up a self-destruction program for the halo and the ark before starting the cross-phase pulse matrix.

In my data, only the specific coordinates of Shield World 0314 are stored, and the current status of Shield World 0314 is offline. ’ replied the storage body.

Self-destructed? That's fine... Sui Bian nodded lightly, and then said, I also want to know whether only we humans can access the memories and technologies stored in your storage body.

Yes. The storage body gave an affirmative answer.

Okay, I got it, then... Sui Bian said, putting his hands behind his back, and continued to ask:

May I ask if the human beings at this stage are qualified to accept the teachings from the managers.

The voice fell.

The storage body, which always asks and answers, did not respond immediately this time.

Chairman. The Red Queen, who was standing not far behind Sui Bian, reported to him:

It was detected that the civilian network and the internal network of the company, UEG, and UNSC are being forcibly accessed by a certain program. When Queen Bai and I tried to intercept and expel it, we couldn't lock the program.

Bai Hou also stared at the storage body, and suggested to him: The source of the intrusion program should be the memory storage body in front of us. Physically destroying her should be able to prevent the intrusion access, Chairman.

...

Hearing this suggestion, Sui Bian glanced sideways at Empress Bai beside him, then turned around again, lightly shook his head and said, Ignore it for the time being.

Yes (OK). The two artificial intelligences promised.

soon.

The sluggish storage body looked down at Sui Bian again, and said, The scan has been completed.

The scan results show that the recycler civilization has successfully passed the stage of internal friction, and the existing social form is a consensus fusion, and has entered the era of interstellar civilization at an extremely fast speed, which has far exceeded the expectations of the managers of Shield World 0314.

The archives of Gorefiend Griffin, Fallen Goddess Aphrodite, and Arcadia were found, indicating that the actual rulers of human beings are hostile to different dimensions.

Having said that, the storage body glanced at Hong and Bai, then returned to Sui Bian, and continued:

Apostates have played an important role in the progress of mankind, and currently have no tendency to apostate, and the implementation of the 145th Amendment to the Code can be suspended.

The final conclusion is that human beings are qualified to accept the knowledge in the fields of artificial stars, celestial-level architectural structure, etc., and I will teach you in place of the administrator of Shield World 0314.

Artificial stars, celestial structures, very good... Sui Bian pondered, and asked the last question: Do you have vaccine or flood information?

There is incomplete information.

Hmm... After receiving this reply, Sui Bian couldn't help sighing: The inheritance given by the administrator is really rich.

...

The two artificial intelligences behind them nodded slightly to show that they shared the same opinion.

Immediately afterwards, they heard orders from Sui Bian:

Notify Director Wang Zhaofeng and the entire scientific research team of the company to prepare for an academic exchange spanning tens of millions of years in ten Earth Days.

At that time, notify Director Clauser of Rockford Island and arrange for a security team to escort the doctor (plague doctor) to Raccoon City. By the way, don’t forget to tell the doctor that the company has obtained new vaccine information.

Understood. They both replied in unison.

After finishing the exhortation.

Sui Bian turned around slowly, facing the peaceful manor scene presented by the virtual window, and said with emotion in his heart:

'The Qiumin Empire is indeed a painful historical lesson. Now it seems...it is necessary to send agents from the Supervision Department to actively search for demons to hunt them down. '

He raised his right hand and spread his palms flat.

Hoo~!

On the palm of Sui Bian, a ball of psionic flames bursting out with dazzling brilliance, like a tiny star, was formed.

But he was able to look directly at this group of stars, let his eyes reflect the flames, and said to himself in a deep voice:

Since you are not willing to let the sea of ​​souls return to tranquility, and you like to destroy and abuse people so much, then... I will plunder all of you. It just so happens that I am not satisfied with my current strength.

…

Beep! Beep!

Brainwashing, piercing, and the most beautiful alarm to break the morning, rang through a spacious bedroom.

The interior is dimly lit.

But the old-fashioned heavy curtains, as the alarm stopped, began to automatically retract to the sides, no longer helping the seemingly sleeping owner to block the outside light, and the room gradually became brighter.

In this way, you can smoothly observe this very classically decorated bedroom.

The large-sized bed is located in the center, the head of the bed is close to the north wall, the floor is covered with immaculate white marble tiles, and comfortable and soft light gray carpets are laid on both sides of the bed.

Not far to the left of the bed is the cloakroom with the sliding door open.

Facing the end of the bed is a dressing table full of female cosmetics, also made of marble, with gray lines all over it.

To the right of the bed is a floor-to-ceiling window with a sliding door.

Outside the window is the beautiful backyard of a house in the forest. It is misty, and you can look closely at the leaves and green grass, as well as the crystal-like morning dew.

Birds of different colors and sizes landed on the branches, chirping, and there was a tendency to replace the alarm clock.

There are also raccoons, hares, deer, and even ferocious animals such as snakes and wolves, all gathered on the lawn in the backyard.

but…

They get along quite well, like the rules of survival of the fittest and law of the jungle do not apply here.

The golden horned crest of the Kerune doe strolling leisurely, and the fairies dressed up in modern looks, wearing doll-sized costumes, are particularly obvious in this group of animals living in harmony.

Forehead…

At this time, the owner of the bedroom and the whole house also lifted the thin and cool silk quilt, and sat on the bed with a stretch.

Then he looked forward blankly.

In the vanity mirror, she was wearing black suspender-style pajamas. Her long white blonde hair was fluffy and messy. With her perfect figure and exquisite facial features looming, she had a lazy beauty.

Animals can gather in their own backyard, and only Artemis, the former goddess of hunting, is now a senior employee of Umbrella.

She stared blankly at herself in the mirror for a moment, then turned over and got out of bed, first stepped on the carpet, then put on her slippers and walked towards the dressing table.

Come and sit in front of the mirror.

After pulling out a cleansing wet towel to wipe the face, and throwing the used wet towel into the trash can, Artemis scanned the cosmetics on the table that she said had no maintenance effect at all, and chose one of them labeled Hydrating face cream ready to wipe cheeks.

Although she is a god, as a god with a definite gender, temperament and way of thinking similar to human women, Artemis believed the words of the advertisement after all...

And it's an advertisement for the company.

For decades, cosmetics have accounted for one-fifth of her wages, contributing a lot to the company's performance.

Equally comparable to cosmetics are all kinds of clothing, the latest electronic entertainment products, or artworks that she is interested in, and other consumer goods also occupy a large part.

After all, she has no habit of saving money.

Of course, this also proves that she has already integrated into human society at this moment.

During the few days of vacation every year, Artemis will also leave the Titan star where she usually lives and works, and travel to the earth or a colony planet with a beautiful environment.

Apart from the overly conspicuous hair color, she is almost indistinguishable from a human female.

On the dressing table, there are not only a dazzling array of cosmetics, but also a photo in an exquisite photo frame, and there are also photos and photo frames with different contents and sizes on the wall.

She likes this kind of technological means that can preserve beautiful moments or be memorable.

The contents of the photos hanging on the walls are mostly the scenery of the earth and various colonies, as well as the streets, alleys and night markets of local cities, etc.

As for the picture on the dressing table, the content is not about any scenery or location, but the grand occasion when the company held the annual meeting by the beach, and in the center of the photo is Sui Bian, who is wearing a custom-made military uniform and is giving a concluding speech.

Comb your hair.

Artemis got up and walked into the cloakroom, took off her pajamas, put on her underwear, picked out a strong white dress in the style of ancient Greece, put on a black belt, and left the cloakroom and bedroom.

After nearly thirty minutes, Artemis, who was completely cleaned up, walked out of the house and came to the main entrance courtyard with dense forests on both sides.

Just wanted to walk to the sidewalk outside the courtyard...

She was surrounded by animals and fairies who had been waiting outside for a long time.

Oh~!

The largest stag, the Kerune doe, lowered her head obediently, as if she hoped to gain the intimacy of her master.

My lord! Can you take us to the base again today?

Yes, yes~!

The fairies with expectant expressions even flapped their translucent colored wings, chattering around Artemis.

Hehe~. Artemis smiled slightly, squatted halfway on the lawn, stretched out his left hand to caress the Kerune doe, but turned sharply to the fairies, saying:

Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking, it's impossible, there will be no next time, so you can take care of your house with peace of mind.

Ah... alright.

Oh... what a pity...

The rejected fairies were particularly disappointed, they didn't even have the motivation to flap their wings, and they fell on the back of the Kerune doe one after another, falling into a moment of loneliness.

Artemis stood up again and smiled helplessly, ignoring the lonely fairy who was actually playing tricks, left the courtyard and walked towards the sky rail train station not far away.

When she came to the platform 30 meters above the ground, she could overlook the entire forest, as well as the clear and endless Yuanyue Lake.

And the planet where Artemis is located is the Titan star specially used to train gray knights and ghost agents.

In the clear and cloudless sky, the ringed Saturn that is always blowing storms occupies most of the field of vision, while the sun is insignificant.

If you are a person with giant phobia, you may not be able to stand this kind of alien scenery.

soon.

A maglev train entered the platform, carrying Artemis and several Umbrella's senior employees across the forest on the bank, and drove quickly towards the base built in the north.

———————

…

Shortly after.

In the dense forest, there is a large military base.

But there are some differences from the extremely modern base, especially the large temple in the center of the base that is more like the ancient Greek style and can accommodate thousands of people.

And in the hall of the temple.

Standing on the stage at the front of the hall, Artemis, with a serious face and pacing left and right, raised his voice and asked the young Astartes in the audience:

Tell me what your duties are.

heard the words.

Twenty people dressed in dark gray outfits, wearing crowns made of olive branches, and holding the Nemesis power halberd in their right hands, knelt on one knee and responded to Artemis' inquiry in unison:

Torch father wishes.

What is the father's wish? Artemis asked again.

The hole destroys the sprites.
