At the federal training ground.
Ma En, who had just completed his training, took off his armor and placed the Evil Saint's Spear beside him.
After choosing the magic armor, he basically determined his fighting style. Since he didn't wear the mind-strengthened armor, he would definitely have to rely on pure physical ability to defeat his opponents. In fact, this was a quite reasonable choice.
Although the opponent's melee ability is stronger, the weapons he can use are also stronger in melee. The Evil Saint Spear forged by Shen Xiao is obviously far more powerful than the Siren's Tears, and it is also a weapon specifically designed to target these heavenly powers.
Since the other party also knows that it is her weakness, and can definitely collect information about what she is good at, there may be some special methods for targeting abilities such as memory erasure. If he knows about memory erasure at his level in advance, If the effect is good, it is actually quite easy to prevent if there are enough resources. At least he can think of several ways by himself.
Moreover, it was unrealistic to rely solely on the psychic realm to win without intending to use the psychic enhanced armor. He finally decided to use the psychic realm's abilities as a means to assist in close combat, and completely suppressed his opponents through close combat.
And he also selected three abnormal props for auxiliary use.
One is an insect specimen necklace used to enhance sensory functions. It can provide the wearer with a sensory system beyond human beings, and can also help the wearer quickly adapt to the new sensory system. However, it has harmful effects on the user's spirit and body. The requirements are low. If someone who doesn't meet the standards is forced to wear the necklace, the body will slowly begin to metamorphose into some insect-like structure.
The main purpose of this thing is to allow him to keep up with Ivanni's fighting speed. Although Ma En, who has telepathy and a divine body, is not weak in this regard, he is indeed not as good as Ivanni.
As a judge, she has considerable high-level combat experience and has also mastered strong melee skills. According to the federal video data, she can often react before seeing her opponent, and after summoning an angel to possess her, she There will also be greater sensory abilities.
Although his abilities are complex and strong, he has not been able to control them for a long time. After all, he has only been discharged from the hospital not long ago, and his control over abilities other than his main telekinesis is far inferior to that of Yi, who has been training for more than 20 years. Fanny.
In fact, this has something to do with the way they fight. If it were a real fight, he would definitely not need the extra senses provided by the necklace, because in that case he would not be involved in a direct battle, and he might not even appear.
But this time they had a direct duel under various restrictions. Although the duel venue was quite large, it was certainly incomparable to a truly completely free battle. There would also be many times when direct close-quarters and high-intensity combat was required. .
This necklace can make up for the new shortcomings caused by the change in fighting methods.
The second item is a weapon called the Dark Dagger.
This is a weapon of unknown origin. Its most basic characteristic is that it will offset the surrounding "light", and it will definitely not only be affected by the so-called natural light, but also the holy light of heaven, the light of the sun god, and the majority and existence. All abilities with the attribute of light will be affected by this weapon, and will be offset by the supernatural power contained in it. …
Just touching it will leave the dark power on the person who comes into contact. In addition to suppressing powers such as holy light, it can also cause serious corrosive damage to the body, and most people with abilities are sensitive to this kind of power. The power is not very easy to counter.
But this weapon also has many shortcomings. The most serious one is that its handle itself has been completely penetrated by the dark force, which means that normal people cannot hold this dagger to attack because they will also be affected by it. and harm.
However, after Ma En tried it, he confirmed that his telekinesis could perfectly control this dagger. Although the speed and power of the attack may not be particularly strong, he did not choose this weapon for head-on combat.
There is no way the Dark Dagger can be compared with the Evil Saint Spear. Ma En uses its purpose to find opportunities to sneak attack on the opponent.
The third item is an abnormal paralyzing toxin from the Eastern Federal Biochemical Company. However, even the biochemical company's annual production and sales are very limited, and the Federation can only buy a small amount. This may be the main reason why they do not directly recommend it. reason.
This toxin can slowly paralyze living things after seeping into the blood. The advantage of this thing is that there are almost no antidotes or countermeasures, and it will definitely be able to immobilize Ivani after it is completely successful. His purpose of choosing this thing is natural. Just so as not to kill her.
The shortcomings of this thing are particularly serious. It requires a considerable amount to be effective.
And it itself is not suitable for coating on weapons. The effect of doing so will be much lower than direct injection. If you want to accumulate enough paralyzing toxin to subdue Ivani by applying poison, I am afraid that you will have to cause it near her heart or head. There need to be enough wounds, almost close to killing her. He may have to inflict near-fatal injuries to determine the outcome.
But this is enough for him. After all, it allows him to relax a little, and this thing is not originally used for combat. It also has many additional functions with medical value, including a very strong Healing.
After it completely takes effect in the living body, in addition to general paralysis, it will also have a strong healing effect. This can also ensure that he will not kill Ivanie even if he is a little cruel.
These are the two extra items that he is sure to take away now. He is still selecting other items, but now he has not seen any other props that can significantly improve the winning rate, and relying on the Evil Saint Spear In fact, he doesn't need any other complicated abnormal items for melee combat, he just needs to prepare these basic things.
In fact, in addition to this, Ma En has other aspects that can be improved and targeted at the enemy. For example, he can actually rely on the Abnormal Control Bureau to replace all of his targeted abilities, and then choose a few abilities that are suitable for this battle. .
Doing this will definitely make the battle more secure, but even if Marn loses, it is impossible to really do this, because that would directly reveal his other trump cards to the Federation and the abnormal world again, which would make them fully understand and even overestimate them. own combat prowess, and a smart strong person may detect part of the truth about his abilities. …
Rather than doing this, he would rather find an opportunity to steal the telepathic armor. Of course, there is no need for him to do this. Even if he really loses, he can easily get the armor. You must know that Shadow actually owes him a favor.
So in fact, he was fully prepared. If he was really forced to the point where he couldn't defeat Ivani with these alone, then simply admitting defeat would not be an unacceptable result. After all, the Federation had no restrictions on him, and he didn't I really want to pursue a career in the Federation or something.
If it weren't for Shen Xiao's prophecy, it would be basically impossible for him to get involved in this matter, let alone put himself in danger.
Just when Ma En was about to stop basic training and return to the room arranged for him by the Federation, the sound of opening the door suddenly came from the viewing platform on the second floor, and then the crisp sound of walking in high heels sounded in a calm and unhurried manner, and the last person came closer The railing a few meters behind him stood firmly.
Ma En put the insect specimen necklace into his arms, then looked up at the woman who was looking at him with interest:
"I already told you I'm not interested."
Tang Xueluan, who was dressed in business attire, said politely:
"I understand. In fact, I didn't come here out of my own will, so if you don't have any interest this time, I won't bother you anymore, but I think it's okay to hear a few words from me. The Federation is also Can't hurt you.
"Are you afraid of me, an ordinary person who is independent from the Federation?"
Ma En said:
"You don't look like a 'normal' person."
She smiled and said:
"Compared to you, aren't we just ordinary people?
"Do you know how much I envy you talented guys? Although we can become you in various ways, we will never become as popular as you."
Mahn replied:
"Most people with abilities are not like me, just like the lives of most ordinary people are far inferior to yours."
Tang Xueluan smiled and admitted:
"Okay, I am indeed a bit greedy. In fact, our situations are very similar. It all depends on luck, but I always feel that your talents are more lucky than our backgrounds. This is why I did not follow the same path as my parents.
"Compared to power, power always makes me feel less real."
Ma En continued:
"You can also try to pursue power. After all, you already have better conditions than most people."
"I will consider your suggestions." She smiled and continued, "But I also hope you can consider my suggestions. Although the conditions we raised last time were a bit excessive, they have always been in the Federation after they have been around for a long time. Likes to make exaggerated conditions.
"Actually, you can bargain as you like, and what we said at the time was not as extreme as you thought."
Ma En raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"What you mean is that I can kill the lover of this Level V ability user and then foolishly believe that the Federation will protect me for the rest of my life."
He doubted that this sentence could only be said by someone from outside the Federation like Tang Xueluan.
Tang Xueluan said:
"I didn't even finish what I said last time. What I actually meant was that if you do this, you will force her to admit defeat."
She definitely didn't mean it at the time, but she didn't think Ma En would agree to this condition now. Even if the Federation could indeed provide him with enough asylum, it was actually very dangerous. Originally, her mother just wanted to try it to see if he could Stupidly agreed. …
And she has also prepared quite astonishing rewards. It is not just the Federation itself that provides these things, but there is no need to raise this possibility now. It is the greatest disrespect to turn your attention to people like Ma En.
Whether it was his straightforward refusal at the time or the few simple conversations just now, it has been proven that Ma En is not easy to fool, not to mention that his past experiences and choices also show how extraordinary a person he is.
If such a guy successfully enters the federal system, he may be promoted very smoothly. He may just need to spend some time to adapt to the rules and find the most suitable way for him to rise.
This is a smart man and a strong one in his own field. The best way to deal with such a person is to remain sincere.
She opened her mouth slightly and said:
"We all know what you want, and that's why Shadow was able to find you, but you don't know that we can actually provide you with much better treatment than him, even though he is very strong and has more actual power than anyone in our family. People need to be tall.
"But behind me is a family and intricate forces, and we have more and more flexible interests than he does. We can easily divide them among you. For example, we can easily handle the remuneration you proposed this time. .
"And when you work under him, your highest achievement is the Yin-Yang Twins. But if you work for us, you have the chance to become the second shadow. As for the reformist members who want to win over you, they will do nothing in front of us. Calculate."
She paused slightly, but did not give Ma En any room to answer, lest he refuse first:
"Our main request is actually not what we told you. I didn't want to go that far, but my mother is still used to the way of communication within the federation. I apologize for this. I think you should be able to accept it. Our real request.
"You should know that my sister Shu Yun died not long ago. My mother was devastated by her death and could only divert her attention by focusing on revenge for her. In fact, we are a little suspicious of you. of former colleagues.
"So we would like to ask you to conduct a simple investigation for us. If the result is that the murderer is not in the Salvation Alliance, it will actually be a good thing for you. And if you really find the murderer, we can also promise you...
“We just want the leader.
"If you can find him, we will give you five times the reward you requested for this battle, and help you gain a foothold in the federation. We will provide you with a special position where you do not need to be managed by shadows and others, and become your The most reliable ally and backing, and I guarantee that you will have power and wealth that is not inferior to that of my sister in your next life.
"That's way more than a reasonable price, and that's all a mother can give."
She looked at Ma En with pleading eyes, but in fact, Tang Xueluan didn't think deep down in her heart that he would refuse, because she did the most correct thing when cooperating with a smart and strong man like Ma En—offering a price that she couldn't refuse. .
Ma En looked puzzled and asked:
"Don't you know what she did to us?"
Tang Xueluan said:…
"I definitely wouldn't say this if she were still alive, but she is already dead, and we all know what the Federation has done to Shenxiao and the Salvation Alliance. The crimes they really committed are far more serious than my sister's, but Aren't you already here?
"And all we want is a name. If you don't provide it, we may find him. It's just a matter of time.
"Aren't these things worth temporarily abandoning your morality?"
Mahn replied:
"This is really a very tempting reward, but please allow me to refuse it again."
Tang Xueluan was stunned when she heard this. She didn't understand why Ma En said this at all:
"Why? I don't think you are the kind of idiot who can't understand the truth. You have already cooperated with us. It might have taken you more than ten years to get these things, but now you can achieve success in one step.
"Or are you still not satisfied?"
Ma En shook her head, and then said something she didn't believe at all:
"Sorry, but you may have misunderstood the reason why I cooperate with you."
She asked a little sullenly:
"You are saying that you don't want power and wealth, nor do you want status and strength, but you still cooperate with us."
Ma En nodded, and then said words and words that she could not understand at all:
"Yes, I cooperate with you to stop the conspiracy of the gods and the church, and for our crumbling world. Although you are indeed terrible, I know very well what the church and the gods are.
"My reasons for cooperating with you are the same as those for following Shenxiao."
After saying that, he turned around, leaving Tang Xueluan with a puzzled face.
How is this possible, but it seems...
This is the only reasonable explanation.
