Hearing the words of the geth lying on the ground, Shepard immediately raised her gun and aimed at it. Based on her understanding of the mechanical race of geth, generally speaking, at this time the opponent is either about to self-destruct or about to self-destruct, but this black geth just lay there, and even threw the sniper rifle in his hand to the side, looking quite harmless.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?"

Shepard asked as he aimed at the geth, who nodded.

"Yes."

Hearing this answer, Shepard frowned.

"So, you want to attack me?"

This time, Geth shook his head.

"No."

"So why are you helping me?"

Shepard lowered his gun and looked at the Geth robot in front of him curiously, while the other party pondered for a moment and spoke.

"We've heard of you."

"That's not surprising. I've fought a lot of geth."

Shepard was not surprised by what the geth said. If this were a game, she would have probably gotten the platinum achievement of "Geth Executioner". With her relentless pursuit of the geth tribe over the past few days, it would be strange if the geth didn't know her.

"No……"

However, this time, Geth still shook his head.

"We have heard of you, but we have never met you. You are Commander Shepard, from the Federation, a human, fighting against heretics. We know everything you have done."

"heresy?"

Hearing this, Shepard frowned.

"What do you mean by heresy?"

"The Geth create their own future, while the heretics rely on asking the ancient machines to give them the future. They serve the ancient machines and are no longer one of us."

"Wait, wait, my mind is a little confused..."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Then Shepard raised his hand and pressed his forehead. It was not because of anything else, but because the amount of information contained in this Geth's words was too great.

"You mean... those Geth who followed the Reapers were not one of you. You had a disagreement and you were unwilling to obey the Reapers' orders, so you separated? So... the Reapers are also your enemies?"

"Yes."

"But you are also a mechanical race."

At this point, Shepard became more and more confused. She had always thought that the Geth and the Reapers were in the same group. The reason was very simple. While investigating the Reapers, Shepard had learned about these terrifying beings. They would come to the Milky Way every 50,000 years to harvest all organic life forms. This could even be said to be a battle between organic and mechanical life. Shepard thought that the Geth would definitely stand on the side of the Reapers. After all, they were all machines. But now it seemed... she seemed to have thought wrong?

"We are different from them. We are not part of their plans."

At this point, the Geth turned his head and stared at Shepard.

"We are against the Ancient Machines, we are against heresy, Commander Shepard is against the Ancient Machines, Commander Shepard is against heresy, we can work together to achieve our goals."

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend?”

Hearing the answer from the Geth in front of him, Shepard couldn't help but think.

"Yes, we have observed your combat and your strength. Moreover, I can sense that the people around you also have similar AI. I think we can reach a consensus."

As he spoke, Geth looked at Fang Zheng, who shrugged his shoulders and tapped his personal terminal.

The next moment, Yui ran out of Fang Zheng's personal terminal, transformed into a fairy and sat on Fang Zheng's shoulder.

And seeing the little Yui in front of him, Shepard...well, Shepard was numb.

At least compared to a little white cat that can put ice cubes, an AI fairy seems more acceptable.

"They are very sensitive, but I want to make it clear that I am not in the same group with them. We are just traveling together for the time being."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng walked forward and extended his hand to Jie Si in front of him.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Fang Zheng and I'm from Tiandao Palace... Um, is this our first meeting? Hello."

“…”

Looking at Fang Zheng's outstretched hand, the Geth robot in front of him was silent for a moment, then held Fang Zheng's hand and stood up.

"You're weird, organic."

"Will it?"

"certainly."

The Geth nodded.

"According to our records, most organic organisms are hostile to us, but you are not hostile to us, and you even have your own AI..."

"I would like to state in advance that Tiandao Palace never creates AI."

Seeing that Jie Si in front of him had misunderstood, Fang Zheng also quickly raised his hand.

"We only cooperate and communicate with other AI species. Well... it's the same with this little girl you see. She is not an AI created by me, but she gets along well with me, so we act together..."

"Your idea is very strange..."

“Ahem…”

Seeing that Fang Zheng and Geth were planning to have a tea party on the spot, Shepard coughed hurriedly, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Let's talk about it when we get back. It's not safe here."

"OK."

Fang Zheng and Geth had no objection to this, so the group returned to the maintenance platform along the original route. Then Shepard immediately found a group of people to surround Geth, and then heard from it the real intention of the other party to find him. After hearing this, Shepard was also confused.

"So, what you're saying is... the Reapers want to upload a set of codes to control all the geth to serve it?"

"Yes."

The geth with a big hole in its chest nodded - by the way, if it were a living creature, this blow alone would be enough to kill it, but now this geth can still sit here alive and well and chat with everyone, which shows that robot intelligence is indeed unique.

"We do not agree with the actions of the heretics, nor do we approve of them joining the Reapers to fight against organics, but the heretics obviously do not think so. They are trying to build a large server to inject the Reaper code into the Geth network to control all of us..."

"So you came to me for help... Does that mean the Reapers are coming soon?"

Shepard also frowned at this moment.

"Yes, we have received information about the Reapers. They will arrive in the galaxy soon. Once we are completely controlled, the Geth will serve as the vanguard of the ancient machines and fight for them. We need your help to eliminate this threat."

"That's certainly no problem."

Hearing this, Shepard nodded without hesitation. She was not a fool. The Reapers were difficult enough to deal with. If they were to add a large army of geth, then she would be in big trouble. If she could help the geth resist the invasion of the Reapers, she would not only be able to weaken the Reapers' power, but also gain an ally for herself. Why not do it?

But to be honest, this matter is not that simple...

Thinking of this, Shepard couldn't help but shift his gaze to the quarian girl Tali who was wearing protective clothing not far away. It was well known that there was a feud between the quarians and the geth. This usually lively girl had not spoken since she saw the geth. As a qualified representative of the team, Shepard felt that he needed to appease his harem... no, his companions.

"Tali, come with me..."

As he spoke, Shepard pulled Tally aside and whispered to her, but Geth didn't take it seriously. Instead, he found Fang Zheng again and continued chatting about the previous topic.

"Organism, your thoughts are very interesting to us. May I ask if you know our history?"

"That thing between you and the Quarians? Of course I know about it."

Fang Zheng answered nonchalantly while teasing the little white cat in his arms. At the same time, he put Yui in fairy form on the little white cat, and then watched the little white cat being ridden by Yui and running around... It was also quite fun.

"So what do you think about that?"

"My opinion?"

Hearing Geth's question, Fang Zheng thought for a moment.

"The Quarians are just stupid...what else can I say?"

"What do you mean!"

Hearing this, before Geth could say anything, the Quarian girl next to him was the first to jump up.

"Why are we so stupid?!"
