"Are you sure you want to do this?" Shadow raised his head and looked at the dozens of shadows floating around.
The sixth tallest figure among them said categorically:
"Yes, this is our unanimous decision."
Shadow retorted:
"But we have already discussed how to deal with those members of the Salvation Alliance who are stubbornly resisting. Our plan is the most beneficial to the federation. You are just causing trouble for yourself.
"Didn't you agree that we will be solely responsible for this matter?"
The eighth highest voice spoke:
“We’ve decided, you just have to implement it.
"And the God-killing plan you led didn't go so smoothly. If we hadn't informed you, you wouldn't have been able to even realize that the Moon God was solved by us. I think this is enough to prove that we have more foresight than you. Alright."
Shadow shook his head reluctantly:
“It’s just too risky and too greedy.
"That's Skywalker. What else do you want? Do you really put a chain around her neck? Doing so will only cause dissatisfaction among the members of the Salvation Alliance, and now we have signed an armistice agreement.
"If I do what you want, it's better not to have a truce with them, so that I can take the lead."
The third tallest female shadow comforted him with a gentle voice:
"We understand your concerns, but the Federation's ability to continue to this day depends on more than what you see. Since we dare to do this, it means we are sure of it, Shadow...
"I've made up my mind."
Shadow opened his mouth:
"Ms. Chu..."
The shadow cast an unquestionable look.
Shadow looked around at this group of high-ranking politicians, still trying to argue with arguments:
"I have fought with her, and to be honest, what you are doing seems to me like a baby pulling out a tiger's beard. I even wonder if one of you is an undercover agent of the Salvation Alliance. This is simply whimsical..."
The fifth tallest shadow said:
"We also consulted several other experts, and they ultimately concluded that it could be done.
"Do you think you might be so sensitive to this just because you lost to her before?"
Shadow no longer cared about them exposing his scars, and just followed his words and said:
"Maybe, but isn't it because I have fought against her that I can see Shenxiao more accurately than others?
"If they have not faced Shenxiao alone, it is almost impossible to really feel the oppression of being her enemy, nor can they feel the terrifying power in that body, but I can tell from my own experience you.
"You underestimate her."
The eighth tallest shadow said:
"We are not looking down on her. This is not contempt for her, it is just another choice."
Shadow said:
"but……"
The second tallest shadow suddenly interrupted him:
"Meeting dismissed."
This sentence also completely set the tone for this conversation. Shadow clearly meant that he would no longer be able to communicate effectively with the federal politicians who had made decisions through this channel.
The worst part is that he knows full well that these federal politicians are not making this decision out of stupidity.
They must have their own reasons and basis, and the worst thing is that they did not tell themselves what made them dare to think so. Now the shadow wants to know who the experts they consulted are.
Shadow snorted with an ugly expression, then turned around angrily and left this special conference room.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
The moment his body hit the wall, he was nowhere in the world.
In front of the shadow is a black ocean. There are countless tiny light dusts that cannot be seen by the naked eye on the sea surface. Among them, there are occasionally slightly bright light spots, and the outline of the light spots can be clearly seen upwards.
Although the first two cannot be clearly seen when they exist alone, when they come together they will resemble fluorescent algae floating on the water, forming beautiful shimmering ripples.
The shadow closed his eyes, then let his spirit continue to rise, and then flew forward.
The shadow began to soar freely over this vast ocean, and as he continued to pass by the sea, the faint light source in his eyes was constantly changing, and he could even occasionally see luminous fluids similar in size to himself at the same high end. , but they all tacitly maintain a distance that prevents them from affecting each other.
Of course, the scenes in the minds of those spiritual entities at the moment are completely different from his, and this is only the perspective that Shadow adopts when overlooking the entire world, which allows him to find what he wants with the highest efficiency.
The first thing he noticed was the extremely rare darkest place in the ocean. There were some places where there was no light at all. These lightless places were of different sizes, and what he looked at was a special one among them.
That place is called Reality Stability Prison.
But after calming down, Shadow still did not choose to go there. It was not a wise move to go to Shenxiao just after leaving the meeting, and it would not help achieve the results he wanted.
Then, he turned his attention to a more special kind of light dust-federal politicians.
He was shackled when he joined the Federation. He had no way to mentally invade the politicians who represented the interests of the Federation. He couldn't even find the dozens of politicians who had just appeared in the conference room. The more powerful they were, the more powerful they were. Politicians become less accessible to him.
This is also the price they must pay to allow them to use themselves with peace of mind. Otherwise, it is impossible for those politicians to trust him.
But those politicians and their lackeys who are not that high in status can still be found by him. After all, their geographical location is no longer a secret to people of his class, but this is already what he can do. To the greatest extent.
Shadow blinked.
He appeared in front of a luxurious wooden door.
At this moment, there were vast courtyards on both sides of the shadow. He could even feel that there was a place not far away where dozens of different animals were kept in captivity. There were beautiful exotic birds from the rain forests of the Southern Federation, and there were also animals that could easily kill ordinary animals. There are large ferocious beasts like humans, and even deep-sea octopuses with particularly harsh living conditions.
Before he could continue to experience the vast courtyard, the front door where he was standing was violently opened, and more than a dozen heavily armed security personnel rushed out. Shadow could tell at a glance that they were all affiliated with the famous Skytron Corporation.
"Hands up!" The captain standing in the middle of the security team pointed his rifle at him. Several other people also carried abnormal weapons that could deal with some people with abilities. However, these things were difficult to deal with, let alone him. It can cause fatal injuries to level III people who are cautious enough.
"I am Shadow," he said directly to them.
The security personnel were obviously stunned after hearing the name, and then the captain reached out to touch the earphones and whispered a few professional encryption phrases.
Just like this, a few seconds passed. As if the well-trained security team in front of them had received some message, they lifted their guard almost simultaneously and made way for the shadow to go inside.
"She invites you in." The captain said nervously.
Shadow nodded slightly to him, and then walked into the luxuriously decorated villa in front of him.
Just as he entered, a mechanical door that looked like it was deliberately imitating the style of the Rama Empire opened automatically to both sides, revealing the woman standing in the elevator.
And judging from the speed at which she appeared, she should have been ready to see him long before the security personnel rushed out.
"I didn't expect that my humble home would have the opportunity to welcome such a big shot." Shu Yun looked at the shadow with surprise, and it was obvious that she didn't particularly want to see this person.
Shadow looked into her eyes and said:
"I hear you've been in charge of the aftermath part of my job lately."
Shu Yun just stood at the elevator door, with no intention of inviting Shadow in:
"Yes, but these are official matters and not suitable for private discussion."
Shadow said with a cold expression:
"I know you have a grudge against Shen Xiao, but this matter is no child's play.
"What you are doing now is what she wants to see, you are just creating opportunities for Shenxiao.
"And my original plan will be very good in the future. As long as the Salvation Alliance is implemented according to the original idea, it will be completely turned into sand. You must not use violence to deal with these crazy guys. Only soft knives can kill the flames in their hearts. "
Shu Yun looked at the shadow with a smile and said:
"Your Excellency Shadow, you may know Shenxiao well, but I grew up watching Qin Luan, and I am probably the person who can understand her best besides her grandfather. You don't have to worry about what will happen.
“Because she’s a weak person at heart, and I know exactly how to deal with someone like that.
"There are many inside stories about this matter that you don't know. I can assure you that this will definitely not cause any problems."
Shadow narrowed his eyes and looked at her:
"You know her very well?
"Then how can I be sure that you are not an undercover agent planted by Shen Xiao among us?"
Shu Yun's face changed:
"What do you mean?"
Shadow replied:
"You claim that you know Shenxiao very well. In my opinion, this is not very consistent with what you are doing now. In fact, you and Shenxiao have known each other a long time ago. I think it is entirely possible for you to cultivate them over this long period of time. Get emotional.
"It's even enough for you to endure the humiliation and go undercover in the Federation."
He had this suspicion very early on. After Shenxiao's defeat, the Salvation Alliance immediately revealed its failure. They did not form a real resistance that could pose a threat to the Federation. At that time, Shadow was actually thinking that maybe she had other backhand.
The strongest fortress can crumble from within, and the same is true for prisons.
If the Salvation Alliance had carried out an almost successful struggle, then Shadow might feel a little more at ease, but now Shenxiao has not created the level of resistance that he should have in mind, which also makes Shadow suspect that she has not really Contribute.
As long as he really solves a resistance worthy of Shen Xiao, he will give up this idea.
After all, Shadow still remembers what Shen Xiao once said - how can they defeat Shen Xiao in the past?
In fact, he also knew that such thoughts were close to persecution paranoia. In fact, the current situation was particularly reasonable. After all, it was the entire federation that was dealing with Shenxiao, and it was not Shenxiao's style.
But having experienced that kind of oppressive shadow, I still can't get rid of this idea.
He did not resent Shenxiao because of that defeat. He was not the kind of child who would be obsessed with temporary success or failure, but what the shadow did not say was that the defeat did leave an incurable shadow on him.
This has nothing to do with Shenxiao, the shadow is caused by the power that cannot be overcome.
He tried countless paths that could lead to victory, but every time he reached the end, Shadow would see Shenxiao already sitting there, as if he was destined to lose when he started this battle.
It was as if the moment he raised his arms and prepared to step forward, Shen Xiao had actually arrived at the future of victory.
It was a suffocating feeling of despair, and Shenxiao blocked every road that could lead to fresh air. The whole struggle that seemed like a battle only made him more and more aware of his defeated future. without actually changing anything.
Watching myself die.
How could such an opponent behave like this?
Even if Shadow understands that the politicians' evaluation of him is correct and that he is actually scared by Shenxiao, Shadow feels that this can prove Shenxiao's danger. He cannot blame himself at all.
This is Shenxiao's problem.
"Your suspicion is simply a joke." After hearing his words, Shu Yun suppressed her anger. "You don't understand Qin Luan at all to say such a thing. If you realize what she is as deeply as I do, As a human being, he would be like me.
"And you're wrong, I don't hate her at all, I'm just physically disgusted by her existence.
"You were all so caught up in the word Shen Xiao that you didn't even lower your head to look at Qin Luan hiding behind that skin. You couldn't see her disgusting soul at all."
Shadow suddenly smiled:
"The whole world can't see what's in your eyes. Maybe it's not because Shenxiao has any ugly soul hidden under the surface, but because you have a unique vision that is completely different from ours. You are the one with the unique soul."
Shu Yun's face was completely downcast:
"Don't think you are..."
Shadow interrupted:
"I am a shadow. If you are not lucky enough to be in the Federation, you are not qualified to talk to me face to face."
Shu Yun sneered and said:
“But I’m just lucky, and I was destined to hold power.
"And you, a dignified Level V ability user, can't invade my brain."
Shadow asked:
"But you'll offend me."
Shu Yun raised the corner of her mouth contemptuously:
"Then just wait for sin, you are not Shenxiao.
"No one will be afraid of you, they will only worry that the shackles on Shen Xiao's body are not tight enough and he will take revenge on them when he comes out.
"Because she's the only one who would do that."
very good.
This is the answer he wants.
