South Federal, Suburban.
Hundreds of heavily armed members of the Investigation Department set up a temporary base in the wilderness, set up white tents one after another, and surrounded an open space in the middle. Dozens of federal experts were standing in it preparing for the next step. rituals used.
Wang Yin stood at the door of a higher tent and looked down at the entire empty spot. The complicated stripes formed a pattern similar to an inverted pentagram. Some of the weird structures even made people look at it when looking at it. dizzy.
The girl slightly shifted her gaze:
"Will he come again?"
The Federation has established a complex and complete anti-detection system here. It would be impossible to reach this place without obtaining the coordinates in advance.
A young man's voice came from behind her:
"For reality warpers, nothing can stop them. Moreover, this kind of trouble will have to be faced sooner or later. It is better to set a trap when the other party is not aware of it."
Although it was not the first time he heard it, the other party's voice still made Wang Yin feel chills on his back.
The person who spoke was an average-looking young man who looked to be around sixteen years old. He had short black hair and was sitting cross-legged on the ground. Some of his subconscious movements were consistent with his age.
But from time to time, there would be a depth in the boy's eyes that did not match his appearance.
This is her immediate boss - Shadow.
"I can hear your thoughts." Shadow said with some dissatisfaction, "Don't think bad things about me in your heart."
"Sorry." Wang Yin said quickly.
Although it was strange, she felt that the young man behind her was much more like a child than herself, and she also knew very well that shadow's different bodies could theoretically share the same consciousness, and this was probably how the shadow was handled at this time.
It was still difficult for her to connect the young man in front of her with the man sitting in the office. Not only the subtle expressions and movements, but also the way he did things were different. The ordinary shadow would not eavesdrop on her thoughts, even if Even if you hear it, you won’t show it.
He has enough restraint.
"That's why I said you two are just pretending to be children." The young shadow curled his lips, "You are just too stupid to realize the unique charm of the minds of different ages, although humans of this age are indeed very immature. , but also has a vitality that you old guys can't understand at all.
"As long as I get rid of the bad parts, I can enjoy the best conditions at different ages at the same time. And when I was young, I was far more aggressive than I am now. A few years ago, I might still have the heart to fight with other people, but Now I'm too lazy to fight anyone.
"It's all work."
Wang Yin took the initiative to guide the topic to this incident:
"Have you ever worried that this was a trap by the Salvation Alliance?"
The young shadow replied:
"Of course, I won't be surprised by what the guy who follows Shenxiao does, but since he dares to come to me in person, it means that he is not worried that I will invade his will, which means that he cannot stand against us. .”
The girl took the words and said:
"But it's absolutely impossible for you to invade his mind. Maybe he's just confident enough about it."
Wang Yin is right. They all know that it is impossible for the shadow to invade the mind of the representative of the Salvation Alliance at this time, especially when he still has certain psychic abilities. This kind of thing will only cause him countless troubles. , those who covet his position will also seize the opportunity to attack him within the federation.
And he needs this position too.
"Yes, if that's the case, it will only prove that Ma En is brave enough." Shadow nodded arrogantly, "But what really matters is not courage, but vision.
"If the Salvation Alliance really doesn't want to negotiate and finds me, it will only prove their stupidity."
really.
The boy and the shadow sitting on the office chair are not the same person at all. It is impossible for the adult shadow to say anything harsh. He has outgrown the stage of needing to boast about himself.
But what he said now was the truth.
Shadow said:
"So you don't have to worry about the Salvation Alliance at all, or let me put it more appropriately, you don't need to be wary of Ma En. After today, you will never have any chance to meet again.
"They are no longer useful."
The significance of the Salvation Alliance to the Federation is only the source of Shenxiao's power, just like Qin Lan's identity is just Qin Luan's sister. After eliminating the most important person among them, the Federation will not even look at them.
"I hope so." Wang Yin said with a heavy heart.
The young shadow glanced at her sideways.
There's something wrong with her emotions, and her current feelings don't quite correspond to the rest of her mind.
Shadow immediately thought of the reason - Wang Yin, like everyone else he came into contact with, was affected by the disappearance of the Moon God, but he was not particularly worried about it.
After all, the past self and the Federation allowed this situation to occur, which showed that this was an acceptable price for them. After all, they finally put a god into sleep.
Federal plans and arrangements are proceeding steadily.
"They're here." Shadow stood up, preparing to greet the coming members of the Salvation Alliance.
While he was speaking, Ma En walked out of the tent not far away, followed by seven other members of the Salvation Alliance.
Almost all the other members of the Salvation Alliance are nearby, even Shang Mingxin, who has "rebelled", is no exception. The purpose of bringing him here is to show Hong Yuan the way.
He thought the same as Shadow on this matter. Ma En did not try to prevent Hong Yuan from coming. Rather than leaving him to deal with it later, it was better to use Shadow to kill him when he had the chance.
Moreover, none of the members of the Salvation Alliance who followed him here knew about his deal with Shadow, which meant that Hong Yuan had no way of knowing about it through undercover or snooping on other members, so he must be "underestimating the enemy" now. .
But even with all that in mind, Maan knew the situation was still risky for him.
So Ma En did something else - he made good use of the resources at hand.
Almost all members of the Salvation League at the banquet were present.
Only a young man named Chayun did not come.
He was the man who tried to resist Hong Yuan at the banquet and was then minced into mincemeat.
[Characteristics used: Flesh Control IV]
The shadow in the distance smiled when he saw Ma En, and then walked towards them under the gaze of all members of the Salvation Alliance, with Wang Yin following closely behind him.
"Very good, you bring them all as we promised." The young shadow said this misunderstanding mischievously.
Li Xiuyu was the first to react:
"Shadow? You never said you would come in person?"
Ma En raised his hand slightly:
"It's okay, I asked him to come."
The other Salvation Alliance members who heard this sentence looked at Ma En, but seeing that he didn't mean to explain immediately, they calmly moved their eyes to the opposite side again.
This scene made both Shadow and Wang Yin feel a little surprised.
It seems that Ma En has gained the trust of all members of the Salvation Alliance. This is actually not a simple matter. At least based on the intelligence in the hands of the Federation and the Investigation Department, there are actually many suspicious things about his experience.
While Wang Yin was still surprised and confused by Ma En's performance, Shadow had successfully accepted the fact. He didn't care how Ma En did it, as long as he knew that what had happened was right.
"Why do you become like a child?" Ma En said with confusion.
Shadow just smiled when faced with Ma En's thoughtful question:
"That way I can handle your request better."
His earliest test was actually quite clever. Not only could he see the relationship between the Salvation Alliance and Ma En, but it would not cause too much resentment or resistance from the other party, because he was just telling jokes that everyone could see.
If this sentence really caused any confusion, then Ma En would not be in the mood to say anything, and if it were like this, whatever he said would appear to be a bit petty.
And this is what Shadow really wants to test - the person Ma En.
And Ma En immediately responded to his temptation with the same degree of "joking". He also couldn't say anything about it, otherwise he would admit that what he just did was like a child.
And if you understand it literally, the conversation can proceed quite smoothly.
No wonder it was him who came to negotiate with him.
"Are you ready to sign the contract?" Ma En asked.
Shadow turned to look at the open space below, took over his words and said:
"Of course, anytime."
The members of the Salvation Alliance followed his gaze and looked at the blasphemous core of the ritual below. Then most of them turned their heads sideways without any trace after seeing it. Even Ma En was no exception, but his movements were slightly smaller than Others are just a few seconds slower.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yinzai felt a little relaxed and happy. She was originally a little worried that Ma En would look directly at the ceremony below for a long time, but now it seems that he is no different from her in this matter.
In fact, after learning about Ma En's proposed cooperation from Shadow, Wang Yin's mood has always been complicated.
Out of fear and concern for Shenxiao, she certainly hoped that Ma En could successfully complete the signing of the armistice contract with the Federation, but she did not want to see Ma En perform particularly well in this matter.
Like this was something bad for her.
Therefore, Wang Yin looked up Ma En's life in detail. In the past twenty years, he was quite ordinary. He was once trapped in an abnormal mental hospital and was diagnosed with a variety of serious mental problems. , this news also made the girl feel a little relaxed.
But after being discharged from the hospital, as if to make up for the ordinary life of the previous twenty years, Ma En suddenly entered the Coordination Bureau that still existed at the time, and was assigned to participate in the devil's coming plan to confuse Shenxiao. Everything was normal before.
Then he encountered Shenxiao's defeat...
Then he fled Eastern Xinzhou with Shenxiao's sister, and also gathered a group of members of the Salvation Alliance in Gowen State, destroyed the local hunting ceremony, and killed a group of Vulcan's people, and finally came to their before.
These experiences gave Wang Yin a sense of disobedience. Compared with his future life, the previous twenty years seemed to be fake. If we look at his situation after leaving the mental hospital, he had not been there before. Maybe so ordinary.
Did he really have mental problems that were only recently cured?
Or……
The girl had a pretty bad guess in her mind. Although this idea seemed quite stupid to her, and only incompetent politicians dominated by fear would think like this, she couldn't get this idea out of her mind. middle.
It was as if it had already taken root in his mind.
Like those politicians, she began to suspect that Ma En was behind Shenxiao's arrangement.
Wang Yin didn't try to raise this idea with anyone, including her brother Wang Yang, and Shadow probably didn't know about it at this moment. Even if she told Shadow so, she would immediately think that this idea was ridiculous.
Because the rational part of her also feels that her thoughts are unreasonable. Normally, after reaching this level, she should put aside these doubts and worries, but maybe it's because she is a resentful spirit...
Her rationality still couldn't overcome her sensibility.
Therefore, Wang Yin also took the opportunity to observe Ma En and other members of the Salvation Alliance who were following him. They did not question Ma En's attitude, which deepened the girl's worry a bit, but Ma En's quick move to look away made her regain her composure. Got some emotions.
At least he hasn't shown any real excellence yet.
The girl suddenly looked at Ma En and said:
"I'm a little glad now that I didn't really attack you when I was in Eastern New South Wales. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the chance to cooperate with us here now."
Ma En looked at her in surprise and then said:
"You're right, if you had been someone else, things might not have gone so smoothly."
The girl pretended to be irritated:
"Get it clear, you are the one surrendering now."
Ma En narrowed his eyes and stared at her with a cold expression:
"But it has nothing to do with you."
Wang Yin smiled contemptuously:
"You have no idea what I did in the Confederacy."
In fact, she didn't know either.
She only learned from Shadow that she had led the battle plan against the Moon God here, and although no one remembered it, the Federation still recorded a lot of achievements for her and the Federation.
Whatever the side effects, they were killing a god.
"That's enough." The young shadow scolded with some dissatisfaction, "This is not a surrender, it is just an armistice negotiation."
But in fact, they all knew that although this was not a surrender, it was not an equal negotiation either. They were able to get a chance to start over just because the Federation valued Shenxiao.
The girl took a few steps back slightly dissatisfied.
But she felt quite happy in her heart, because Ma En's reaction was not very consistent with her unrealistic guess. His anger revealed that he actually had no way to refute her words and could only attack directly. she.
Anger comes from fear.
Wang Yin knew this very well.
