I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 365 362. Sincere Questions (Millions of Words~)

Mann asked curiously:
"But since Taoist Xiaoyao is such a dangerous character, why did you ask him for this negotiation?"

Tang Xueluan replied:

"The reasons for this are very complicated, but there are two main reasons. First, the establishment of the Advisory Department is for high-level ability users like Taoist Xiaoyao and Mr. Zhao who do not really belong to the Federation. Of course, you are also part of this plan. one of the goals.

"But among these people, Xiaoyao can be said to be one of the most valued by the Federation. Although his value cannot be compared with that of Mr. Zhao, the relationship between Mr. Zhao and us is already quite good, while Taoist Xiaoyao was originally We are in a delicate relationship.

"It is precisely because of this that the Federation actually took the opportunity to get in touch with him, because he actually has some things that the Federation most desires, and they really hope to take those things out of Xiaoyao's pockets through the Advisory Department."

Mann said:

"This reason does not sound particularly reliable."

Tang Xueluan nodded:
"If it's just because of this, then I think so too, but the Federation definitely didn't arrange him here casually. There is another very important and reasonable reason why they let Taoist Xiaoyao participate in this matter, that is, he still Has a certain ability to predict.

"Although he is not an expert in this field, nor can he be compared with a strong man like Shen Xiao, Taoist Xiaoyao's ability is also very valuable for us to negotiate with Shen Xiao, and he has studied the nature and operation of prophecy Although we did not allow him to participate in the original plan to deal with Shen Xiao out of confidentiality, we often asked him questions about prophecies after Shen Xiao was imprisoned.

"Xiaoyao and his understanding of prophecy down to the essence can also be used in this negotiation. He and Mr. Zhao and several other scholars in the research institute who specialize in this field work together, and he can provide a perspective that we do not have. .

"So it actually made sense that he was chosen."

Mann said:

"Listen to you, in fact, they may not even make trouble for us on the surface."

Tang Xueluan agreed:

"That's right, Xiaoyao Dao may just have resentment towards you. After all, it's too strange that he helped us in turn. It seems to have some kind of intention, and this guy is a bit elusive to us. In addition, He is powerful and dangerous, and we still have to keep enough vigilance against him in advance to avoid any serious trouble.

"And Kania isn't really a threat, but it might trip us up a bit, you just need to pay attention to her a little bit.

"The next thing I want to talk about is the most troublesome guy. In fact, when we put you in, we also encountered some resistance from neo-liberal members, but because of our good reasons, their obstruction Didn't really have any effect.

"It's not actually what they think of you, it's just that members of the neo-liberals want to oppose all of our actions."

Mann asked:

"So there's a politician in the negotiating camp?"

She nodded:
"Yes, in fact, I can also be regarded as a representative of the Rongbang faction, and even you can barely be regarded as one of us, so the neo-liberals will definitely send their people to participate in this negotiation, and they will definitely see that we are not pleasing to the eye.

"And they sent out Shen Zongdao, who has been in the limelight recently. Before Shenxiao's defeat, he was a senior member of the Supervision Department. After the Supervision Department was dissolved and merged into the Investigation Department, he became a member of the Investigation Department. high-level.

"Now his status is only lower than that of a high-level ability user like Shadow. Although it is reasonable to say that a top-level ability user like you should be on an equal footing with a politician like him, but in fact, because you are ours, you cannot directly enjoy the federal government. status.

"Secondly, this Shen Zongdao's identity is not only a high-level investigation department, but he is also a neo-liberal politician, and judging from his deeds in recent years, we estimate that he is likely to get a big job in the near future. seats in the House of Representatives."

This is more important than Tang Xueluan's other descriptions of Shen Zongdao. You must know that the entire Shu family has only six seats in the Federation, and the reform faction that originally wanted to win over Ma En only has 23 seats, and even the entire Rongbang faction has only 180 seats. Just [-] seven positions.

From the perspective of the entire Federation and the Federal Government, this number is actually quite small—so that even a change of location is not a trivial matter within the Federation.

Moreover, due to the desire of various factions for the positions of parliamentarians, these parliamentarians are likely to have far more influence than they should have.

"So this is the guy I should pay attention to the most?" Marne asked.

Tang Xueluan nodded:
"Yes, but even he doesn't have to worry too much. Most politicians will use their hands properly when fighting internally. In fact, he may not really cause us any trouble. As long as you behave decently in negotiations, He has no excuses against us, and if you can successfully reach any of the conditions I just mentioned with Shen Xiao, then he will obediently keep his mouth shut in front of us.

"And I believe you can definitely handle Shen Xiao."

Mann said:

"You trust me a little too much, and I'm not sure about it. If I hadn't asked the Federation and you, I wouldn't have accepted such a difficult proposal."

Tang Xueluan smiled:

"You can feel that you are not sure, but I also firmly believe in my judgment of you."

After getting to know these temporary "colleagues" of his own, Tang Xueluan finally brought Ma En to the pre-negotiation preparation room, then directly opened the door and led him into the spacious living room.

And when she pushed open the door, what met Ma En's eyes were various federation members walking around, among them there were a few familiar figures sitting in the middle of the whole preparation hall, other federation members In the ten years, they spread out evenly around them as the center, each of them is responsible for the work in hand, and has frequent information exchanges with several people in the center.

The peripheral members all seem to come from different departments. There are researchers who look similar to Kania, as well as people with the ability of the investigation department that Ma En is familiar with, and some civilians he has seen in the federal building. The most conspicuous ones were a few guys who didn't seem to be doing anything. After looking at them for a while, Marne realized that they were actually federal politicians.

The members of the center include Zhao Guanwu, Shadow, and Kania, who he is very familiar with, and there are also two people who he has not seen before, but they can perfectly match with Tang Xueluan's description just now.

One of them is an old man with a sense of immortality...

wrong.

Ma En blinked and looked at the "old man" again, and suddenly noticed that his face didn't seem to have any signs of aging, but just looking at him couldn't distinguish his actual age very well, and if he didn't pay special attention If so, it is easy to hallucinate this extraordinary fifth-level ability user as an old man, and it seems that he should be an old man.

And although Ma En was somewhat unable to tell his age, the face of the old man was not as difficult to see as if he had taken advantage of his cognitive impairment. On the contrary, it was a very extraordinary and recognizable face, but Ma En couldn't pass through this. A face judged his apparent age.

And unlike other V-level ability users, just looking at Xiaoyao Ma En, you can feel that he is a very strong V-level ability user. Although some ability users look quite extraordinary, they are definitely not as obvious as him. The strange thing is that Xiaoyao also made him feel a little restrained.

Beside him is a man in his 30s, his face is calm and peaceful, but his eyes are sharp, and the whole thing gives Marne a sense of extraordinary appearance, but when he stands among these people , the originally slightly prominent temperament has become extremely mediocre.

After all, the people around him and Kania are all real V-level ability users. When they are around these powerful people, no matter how outstanding they are in their own fields, they will appear to be dwarfed by comparison.

After they took a few steps in, Shadow first looked up at Marne, and then several others glanced at them one after another, and then they all turned their eyes back to focus on their work.

Only Shen Zongdao looked at them indifferently for a few more seconds, but he didn't show any emotion immediately.

Tang Xueluan sat down at an empty table nearer to them with Ma En, and then said in a low voice:

"We'll wait here."

Although the Shu family placed them in the second negotiation, they will definitely not be the leading members of this negotiation. Although the work contract can prevent him from harming the interests of the Federation, after all, Marne still has the special status of a former member of the Salvation Alliance. .

But they didn't wait long, because soon Shen Zongdao got up and walked to their table, then sat down directly opposite Ma En and Tang Xueluan, and then raised his head to look at them a few times.

He looked at Ma En expressionlessly and said:

"Are you the traitor of the Salvation Alliance?"

Ma En replied calmly:

"The term traitor is not accurate."

Shen Zongdao chuckled coldly:

"Oh, so you're an undercover agent?"

Tang Xueluan said dissatisfiedly:

"Shen Zongdao, if you have any comments, you can directly report to the federation, and you don't need to be clever in front of us."

Shen Zongdao turned his head to look at him, and then intentionally showed a slightly surprised expression, as if he never thought that Tang Xueluan would dare to call him by his name, but Tang Xueluan knew very well that this was just his way of expressing contempt.

"Huh? Why are you in such a hurry." Shen Zongdao had a deliberately exaggerated suspicious look on his face, "Could it be that he really has some shady secret, and it also involves you, otherwise why should he be afraid of the shadow slanting?" ?

"Why do you need to be nervous?"

But Tang Xueluan is not a vegetarian either:

"We are here to help negotiate, and Ma En has made great contributions to our Federation. It is reasonable that you should not come here to test him like an interrogator at this time. This is extremely disrespectful to Ma En no respect.

"Do you want other members who joined the Advisory Board to feel that this is the way the Federation treats new members?"

Shen Zongdao said indifferently:

"The Advisory Department was not originally built to attract members of the Salvation Alliance."

Having said that, he looked sideways at Marne again, and then commented on him:
"You did a pretty good job some time ago, but in the final analysis, you were just lucky. If we wanted to, we would definitely be able to find someone who could replace you. Anyway, you were the guy we recruited from the outside.

"And now your achievements at that time are nothing, because not only is your victory meaningless, but it is also likely to be the cause of the current situation in Atlantis.

"Besides, your opponent may not have planned to win, because the current situation is what they want to see, so in fact, your victory is not only useless, but it may not even be real."

Then he paused again, and then showed a hypocritical look:
"Of course, I won't deny that you are a very good ability user. If you are willing to work for the Federation, then we welcome it, but this matter is indeed a bit sensitive, and as a member of the Federation, it is impossible for me to let you go." Low guard.

"You are a member of the Salvation Alliance, and the person we are in charge of talking to is Shen Xiao, who must not make any mistakes."

Tang Xueluan immediately responded:

"He's a former member of the Salvation League, which was disbanded long ago.

"And this identity is the reason why he is here. Ma En and I want to use this identity to gain the trust of Shen Xiao. Don't you believe in the great protection measures of our Federation? You will worry about a level IV ability user like him Can something be done?

"I think you must be very clear that the information you gave to Mann has been specially screened. It is impossible for us to use the information you gave us to endanger the interests of the Federation. In my opinion, you are just looking for excuses to harass us. .”

Shen Zongdao sneered, then asked grimly:

"Really? Do you mean that I can completely trust this follower of Shen Xiao, this criminal who killed countless members of the investigation department? Do you know how many times I have attended the funerals of colleagues? You want me to trust him? I'd rather give the job to a wild dog.

"And you said that he can help, but if he really betrayed Shen Xiao as you said, how could he provide us with useful help? If he can really help us, it is impossible to betray her, so in it seems to me...

"His purpose must be to take advantage of this opportunity to do something beneficial to Shen Xiao, and it is impossible to achieve any results."

Tang Xueluan said:
"He is indeed not the kind of guy who would betray Shen Xiao, but the Shu family has their own methods..."

Shen Zongdao's emotions became even more agitated:
"I know you promised him a Tier V abnormal item, did you hear what I said again? You are going to give a Tier V item to a member of the Salvation Alliance, even if he really got Shen Xiao to agree to the terms, don't you think that's right? Are we a good thing?

"How can you guarantee that in the future Mann will not slaughter our poor countrymen with the weapon you handed him?"
