[Overwatch fan] Your devout soul

Dorado's explosion shocked the world.Reaper sat in the hotel room, watching the relevant news reports being broadcast on TV.

In the video, crying people gathered near the ruins of the factory.He heard the shrill cries of women and children, perhaps some ghost who died at his gunpoint left an orphan who didn't know how to face the future.

It is said that even the god of death is moved by the weeping of children.

Maybe, he thought, after the bombing in Zurich, Switzerland, he never had a heart again.

"...as a manufacturing plant that is the backbone of the local economy, this disaster is considered a sad tragedy..."

Did the news media all over the world use the same manuscript when reporting on the bombing?

"...We deeply mourn the staff who died in this accident. Starting tomorrow, local mourning activities will be held spontaneously. In this festival to commemorate the victory of the Omnic War, I hope everyone cherishes peace and stays away from war..."

He couldn't listen anymore and cut off the signal source.

Before Tracer left, he was suggested to keep a low profile for a while.After all, such a big thing happened, it became not so easy for him to conceal his identity in public places.

He understood that this was a kind dissuasion.He had planned to do the same.

But for some reason, he came to the vicinity of the explosion factory again.

There are actually wreaths on the corner of the wall.This is really a great irony.

Since the United Nations issued the PETRS decree, declaring that any activities of Overwatch are illegal, neither the martyrs who died in the battlefield nor the members who died in the bombing of the Overwatch headquarters in Switzerland can no longer get any public information. memorial service.

They spilled blood on the battlefield, leaving no bones left.Today, even the name is gradually forgotten.

[Jhalakwa. ]

[Anna Ann Marie. ]

He paused for a moment. The signal light of "Mote Motes of Time" was on again, as his only companion, waiting for him to continue talking.

[Jack, Morrison. ]

Smoke was still rising from the ruins, electronic warning signs were posted around the factory, and scrolling text reminded everyone that it was still dangerous inside.They cleaned up the remains, but most of them were incinerated into a cloud of ashes.The building was fairly solid, and even though the roof was leaking, the beams did not collapse.

The Grim Reaper atomized the moment he approached the electronic guardrail, and then appeared in the house.He stepped on the broken wooden slats and ashes, and looked at every inch of space in the factory.

He wondered if the Overwatch building in Zurich looked the same after it exploded.The building was built in the early 21st century, using the most advanced design at that time, and he, who has always been in charge of security work on various major occasions, remembers every detail of the building clearly.

When he closed his eyes, the appearance of the headquarters could still appear in front of his eyes.As the most famous office building in Zurich, its surface is fully transparent.On sunny days, the blue skylight is reflected on the surface of the building, which is always bright and dazzling.The most enjoyable thing is to sit by the window and drink afternoon tea. If you are not careful, you will fall asleep in the warmth and have a peaceful and peaceful dream.

He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the building that no longer existed, but then held his head.

His head hurts.When all other senses are weakened to the point of necrosis, this pain is also doubled, just like pouring a bottle of ink into a clear spring can dye the whole pool of water black in an instant.

The Grim Reaper atomized uncontrollably, and then suddenly returned to its original shape.His knees gave way, and he almost knelt on the ground.

Maybe it was really a mistake to come to the explosion site, and he should not have challenged the most painful memory of his life so unsuspectingly.

"I've brought you here because we in Overwatch are facing a tougher challenge than ever before."

Jack Morrison, the commander of Overwatch who is over half a century old, is still in good spirits.Having gone through the super soldier transformation program, he is still as strong and powerful as when he was young, and his muscle lines can still be clearly seen through the straight uniform of a senior officer.

Almost all core members of Overwatch are here.A few people who couldn't come didn't participate in this action plan for the time being, and there are still battlefields in other parts of the world that need them.

"I bet Reinhardt would be pounding the floor in frustration if he knew the importance of this operation."

Reyes grinned and nodded, dodging Ana's poking fingers while imitating Reinhardt slamming his hammer on the floor in frustration.

"I know you haven't seen each other for a long time. How about I go talk to Jack and get him back."

"No, forget it." Anna said.She crossed her arms and looked at Morrison who was speaking in front of the projection screen. "Reinhardt and I, we are the type who can't be together for a long time." She pondered for a moment, then showed a broad smile:

"Not like you and Jack."

In Overwatch, there are actually very few people who know about his relationship with Morrison's lovers, but Ana has always been one of them.As an excellent sniper, she is keen and insightful, and at the same time, she is also their common partner.

Sometimes Reyes wondered if it wouldn't be fair to everyone to hide his and Jack's affairs from everyone.When they were young, they never thought about it that much. As they got older, the work involved prevented them from bringing in too many personal feelings.Before I knew it, I had come to today.

But when he thought about it again, they weren't the worst.

Anna has a daughter, Farrell.The girl looked like the younger Anna, only more silent.Ana used to take her to Overwatch's headquarters to play when she was little.She admired Morrison and had a crush on Reyes.Reyes guessed that she must have thought her father was one of them.

Even her own daughter doesn't know that her father is actually the famous Silver Knight Reinhard Wilhelm.What could he and Morrison have to say?

"As I just said, the mission instructions this time came directly from the United Nations. The source of the information is reliable, although the facts I am about to tell you may sound unbelievable--

The United Nations Headquarters and our investigation department received a signal from Siberia at the same time, which is suspected to be a new type of intelligence center.It has mastered Russia's new aerospace technology and is planning a terrorist attack against the aircraft carrier where the United Nations headquarters is located. "

The smiles on Reyes' and Ana's faces disappeared.Everyone present looked solemn for a moment, and gathered at Jack Morrison.

"We have people in Siberia," Anna said, "do they have any findings?"

Morrison shook his head. "I have sent the local Overwatch garrison to investigate, but they have not found the source of the signal. This time the enemy is not simple, and I am afraid that by the time we find it, it will be too late."

"Can the United Nations evacuate the personnel in time to buy us more time?"

"This is where the trouble is," said Morrison. "After all, the new United Nations was set up to prevent the paralysis of national governments in the omnic war. It was full of leaders. To ensure safety, it was set up An unbreakable mandatory procedure has been established, and they only go back and forth to Earth every six months."

He thought for a moment, and said, "It should have returned three months ago this time, and it is now in a relatively remote position in the orbit of the earth and the moon. If you want to forcibly send a spacecraft to dock, the travel time will only be longer than this."

Everyone fell into a new round of silence.There are not many people here, all of them are veterans of the Omnic War, and everyone knows how terrible it is to have a hostile center that can control and influence intelligent robots.Like a violent cult, each of its followers can be reborn repeatedly, is not afraid of death, and is an enemy of the entire human race.

Having to fight them on the ground is bad enough.Now, they have crossed the surface of the earth and pointed directly at the sky, aiming at the highest government of all mankind - the United Nations.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but they knew nothing about the enemy's plan.

"There is only one solution for the current plan." Morrison put his hand on the podium, and glanced solemnly at his comrades who have been with him for many years.

"Aiming at the weaknesses and orbits of the United Nations aircraft carrier, we took the lead in launching a strike device with pulse shells. Once the intelligence center takes action, immediately intercept and destroy its body."

"In this case, it means that we have mastered all the weaknesses of the United Nations aircraft carrier." Reyes said, "Are you sure the guys above will not have any objections?"

"That's exactly what they proposed." Morrison looked at him, "The aircraft carrier's design drawings and related orbital data have been sent to my personal terminal through encrypted transmission. All members of the expert team who understand all this will come to Watch the day after tomorrow Vanguard Headquarters, make a thorough plan with us."

After the Omnic War ended, Reyes had fewer opportunities to go out to perform missions.In his spare time, he often stands on the top floor and looks out at the mountains and lakes in the distance through the window.

Although he prefers the sea to the mountains, the beauty of Zurich can make him ignore this.But today, he was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery here.In 10 minutes, members of the UN team will arrive at Overwatch headquarters.He and his Blackwatch crew are the main force responsible for security.

Their plan was so secret, even within Overwatch, that only a few members who were there at the time knew about it.Despite this, Morrison raised the security level to the highest level.

"This operation must be flawless." He once said to everyone, "If anything happens to them, the governments of the world will be paralyzed, and we will be the sinners of all mankind."

The sky in Zurich is always cloudy and cloudy.Reyes had secretly prayed that today would be a good day, but when he woke up in the morning, the sky was covered with scattered dark clouds.Dark clouds mean that the sky is dim, and it will be harder for them to spot enemies hiding in the dark.

But that's okay, Reyes thought.They will never leave the members of the expert team one step at all, and at the same time release the quantum shield to protect their safety.Everything will run smoothly.

He glanced at the time and then out the window.A maglev armored vehicle has just parked downstairs at the headquarters.Here they come.

Everything is going according to plan.Those experts looked very calm, and they would say hello to the Shadowwatch agents around them from time to time.He watched them talking and laughing, and walked into the door calmly.

"Gabriel!"

A familiar voice came from the earphones.He was just about to report what he saw when he heard that something was wrong with Morrison.

"There's something wrong." Morrison panted. "I just checked the files for the last time and found that the aircraft carrier's drawings and orbit map files have been tampered with."

Reyes' heart sank.He hastily pressed the call button and connected to Anna's channel:

"Morrison just informed of the situation. Immediately transfer the sniper point and help protect the members of the expert team!"

"Understood." Anna replied calmly, "Go to the target location immediately."

Reinforced a layer of protection, but Reyes still felt uneasy.He connected Morrison again and asked:

"What does the information department say, have they found traces of external network hacking?"

"No," Morrison said. "They said the signal came from within, but that's simply not possible."

"Don't be nervous, there is too much encrypted information on the blueprint, and it is useless to analyze it without the members of the expert team." Reyes said, "They should be on the way to meet you now. Where are you?"

"I'm going to change into combat uniforms," ​​Morrison said. "In the conference room, no one will try to lay hands on them."

Reyes turns off the channel.In order to prevent accidents, he tidied up his bulletproof vest and set off for the location of the members of the expert team.They were on their way to the twelfth floor, accompanied by a whole squad of agents.

Reyes pressed the elevator, and the inexplicable nervousness made him a little anxious.He comforted himself with years of war experience—don't worry, this is Zurich, Switzerland, the safest place in the world.For nearly half a century, omnic warfare hadn't spread here.This was the headquarters of Overwatch, which ended the Omnic Crisis, and with him and Morrison, no one could get close to those intellectuals.

The elevator door opened, and he saw a group of people walking from a distance.

Those things happened almost at that moment.

The thick bulletproof glass was suddenly shattered, and a deafening sound echoed throughout the corridor.Reyes subconsciously covered his ears.He rushed out of the elevator, but before he could get close to them, he saw his men fall to the ground one by one.

sniper.Enemy snipers.Where did they shoot the bullets from?Where is Anna?

He calls Anna, but gets no response.Before he had time to think about what might happen to her, Reyes immediately drew his gun.

"Come here!" he roared. "It's not safe by the window!"

He used the barriers of walls and pillars to approach the expert team.The sniper's few bullets missed the vitals, but hit his hand holding the gun.He clutched the bleeding wound, knowing that the next bullet might hit the fatal part, but those experts still stood still in a daze.

"What are you waiting for?!"

Suddenly they ran.Running so fast, he passed Reyes directly.Reyes turned to catch up, and the glass around him exploded in front of his eyes one by one.He couldn't believe it: all of them were bulletproof glass against anti-aircraft missiles, and the building was also protected by magnetic fields.But now, they are shattered like a barrier made of ice cubes.

His uneasiness intensified.All of this does not look like a terrorist attack targeting only members of the expert group.

Morrison.

He turned and ran towards the meeting room.

All the experts who were supposed to gather in the meeting room, but only one person came here in the end.He didn't know where the others had gone, whether they were killed on the way, or lost while running.He pushed the man away, almost knocking open the door of the conference room.Morrison stood in the corner away from the window, pulse gun in hand, aimed at anyone who rushed in.

"Jack!"

The short look at each other, but in the memory, it seems that a whole century has passed.

But no matter how hard he tried to recall, trying to look at those familiar eyes again, the sight in his memory always stopped abruptly at this moment.Something exploded behind him, and he could feel the deadly shards of heat burning his skin and tearing at his body.The flames of death engulfed him and obliterated the entire room in less than a second.

No one can survive an explosion like that.In the end, he was one step too late and only had time to see Morrison one last time before he died.

It never occurred to him that he could open his eyes again.

He thought he survived the explosion, but he was horrified to find that he didn't feel anything in his body.

He moved his fingers, but couldn't feel any connection between the nerve and the bend.It's more of a cold butt in the void than a manipulation of flesh and blood.

"How does it feel to be back in this world?"

Looking at him was a face with a skull mask.He didn't know who it was.He touched his cheek, but touched his teeth.

The voice laughed.

"Look at you, the panicked look on your face, like a little boy. Do you remember who you are?"

I'm Gabriel Reyes, leader of Shadowkeep, Jack Morrison's partner and lover.

His body suddenly spread out as he recalled the name.His constituents became unstable, and he became a cloud of air, a handful of quicksand.For a split second, he felt a huge tearing pain, like the explosion was repeating itself on him.He suddenly realized that he was really dead.Now he is just lingering, reborn every moment, and dying every moment.

He suddenly thought of a name that suited him.

"Reaper," he said.It wasn't his voice anymore either.But he doesn't care anymore.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Very good. It seems that the experiment was more successful than I thought." The man smiled. "I knew you were a wise man, Death. You were alive, and you are now."

"I need you to work for us." He said flatly. "Working for Talon, you get literally everything."

He didn't answer, just silently pressing the original position of the heart.He didn't feel the beating of anything.

Literally everything.How can it be done?

He has lost everything.
