After finishing the conversation with Seri, he had basically arranged his escape route. All that was left was how to ensure that the will would not be overridden when forcibly using the Moon God's characteristics, and in fact, he has always been concerned about this. There are also preparations.
When he agreed to help Shadow "kill" other members of the Salvation Alliance, Shadow also promised to reward Ma En. At that time, Ma En chose to leave this request to the future for the time being, and he originally planned to wait longer to reduce his exposure. Possibility of breach.
Although the death of the Moon God was a secret, he was not sure whether a V-level psychic like Shadow could detect it, let alone whether he had enough understanding of the potential resurrection mechanism of the Moon God, and whether he could possibly guess something. .
Therefore, the request he made now must not be detailed enough to be followed. Ma En could only blur it. Although this may reduce his probability of success, after realizing that his memory was affected, he temporarily This is all we can do.
Thinking like this, Ma En closed his eyes, and then projected his mind into the distance according to the method given by the Federation, and found the black tower standing more than ten kilometers away, and then imagined that he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Shadow said from inside.
Ma En pushed open the door and entered the office that he first saw in Lei Yu's mind.
Shadow looked at the person who walked into his office with some surprise:
"You actually came to me on your own initiative? I thought I had to wait for Kong to take action before I went to see you, but just in time...
"I also have something I want to tell you."
Ma En walked to the opposite side of his table and sat down casually:
"You have these towers built all over the world, and it seems a little scary."
Shadow smiled and said:
"It's just scary to see. Many of my clones that are used as towers are only level III. It's easy for you to find me through it, but I can't use it to monitor anyone. Even if I go all out, it's difficult to be efficient. The ground passes through all the thoughts of a city.
"Otherwise, your compatriots who were in the Eastern and Western Federation at that time would have been caught by me."
Ma En shrugged:
"I heard that you did make many people brain-dead on the spot."
"That was under the premise that I got the information in advance." Shadow looked at Ma En with a smile, "To be honest, I feel guilty about what I did. They are all warriors worthy of admiration, but this is me work.
"I am just a shadow of those in high positions and have no right to refuse at all."
That's not what he said when he persuaded Ma En to join the Federation some time ago.
Ma En ignored his "explanation" and changed the subject:
"Do you still remember the agreement we made at that time?"
Shadow raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"You are talking about the agreement to get rid of those members of the Salvation Alliance for me, and I will give you a reward. But at the time, neither you nor I thought that Shu Yun would die soon after that. If I could have known this in advance, it would be possible I don’t need to look for you anymore.
"I think you may not have heard that after Shu Yun's death, other federal politicians have withdrawn from this plan one after another. Only a few guys who really have a grudge against Shen Xiao are still persisting, and they are against It's not impossible for me to cope with it.
"Do you know why they all ran away now?"
Ma En asked cooperatively:
"Why?"
Shadow said with a smile.
"The truth is very ironic. First of all, they must have felt that Shu Yun's death meant that the matter might not go smoothly, but more importantly, it was a good opportunity to escape unscathed. They regarded Shu Yun's death as a payment to Shen Xiao. apologize.
"Before Shu Yun's death, they were all in the same boat, but after her death, it seemed that this incident meant harm to the Salvation Alliance. The federal members paid the price for what she did, and the possibility of Shenxiao's revenge was reduced. A lot.
"And I think this is indeed the case. In fact, I don't agree with the idea that Shenxiao will retaliate against them after they come back to normal. Only the behavior of these politicians trying to avoid the possibility of retaliation may really lead to disaster.
"But now even if Shenxiao hears about this, he will not pursue those politicians who have withdrawn. And those remaining politicians who have offended Shenxiao long ago can actually leave safely if they withdraw now.
“Only if they continue to insist on this plan will they attract punishment from Shenxiao.
"They were all killed by their own fear."
After finishing speaking, Shadow looked at Ma En with an expression as if he was asking if he was satisfied with the result.
Ma En said as if he didn't see his hint:
"This is good news. The situation of other members of the Salvation Alliance should be much better because of this."
Shadow nodded:
"However, most of the remaining federal politicians still want to act according to the original plan, and there are still a very small number of opportunists. In fact, this has something to do with your victory. It was really an exciting battle."
Ma En nodded:
"The emphasis should be on me winning."
Shadow smiled and said:
"Yes, and this has also attracted the attention of some other politicians, such as the reformists who originally wanted to recruit you, and now they are much more enthusiastic than before you won, and they also regret that they were so easy to win. flinched.
“But politicians are like that, they always don’t let the hawk see the rabbit before they see it with their own eyes. They can’t believe that your value is really as high as I promised them, or even beyond my promise at the time, until they see it with their own eyes.
"And now they have renewed their intention to recruit you, and they also want me to convey their desire to meet with you.
"Actually, I also pushed you to meet them. I mentioned that there are outstanding young people from foreign races who can deal with humans, and you have offended a lot of foreign races in this duel. It is actually very difficult for you to truly join the Federation. Good thing.
"And this time the reform faction has prepared a pretty good price, including a plan to deal with the Salvation Alliance.
"I just said that most of the remaining politicians are fools who are unwilling to give up. There are still some who actually have no hatred against Shenxiao. The reason why they stay there is just to pursue interests. This contains quite a lot of value - —That’s the value of making it stop.
"If you agree to join the reform faction, they will first find a way to insert you into it, and then in just a few weeks, they will cooperate with those politicians who do not really want to deal with Shenxiao to help you gain control of the project .
"Or even simpler, they just tell the politicians to stop the plan.
"What do you think of this small reward?"
Ma En said:
"Sounds pretty good."
Seeing that he didn't intend to refuse directly, Shadow continued with a natural expression:
"And this is just one of the generous prices they have prepared. They also plan to let you join the reform faction. Recently, the Federation is planning an agency that can check and balance each other with the Investigation Department and is more political. They plan to push you into it.
"You don't have to wait long, you will be able to become an ability user in the federation whose status is only lower than that of us V-level powerhouses, and you will also have a certain status within the reform faction, and there are many things that can be discussed in a formal meeting. detail.
"As long as you can gain their trust, they will do their best to train you into a Level V ability user.
"Of course, this support corresponds to a certain degree of restraint, but compared to other factions, the restraints they will give you are actually much lower. After all, they are asking for your help, not your dependence. them.
"But this also reveals a very important point, that is, the status of this new faction within the Federation is not high now. They are a small faction that has only emerged in recent years. They are incomparable to the mainstream factions in the Federation. This is their only shortcoming.
"It's also a fatal flaw."
Ma En showed an expression that really wanted to know about this matter:
"Is this a serious problem?"
Shadow nodded:
"Yes, joining a faction within the Federation is not a deal with a price tag, but an important decision that involves many troubles. If you join the Reform Faction, your future destiny will be tied to this small faction.
"And to be honest, I'm not optimistic about their fate."
Ma En vaguely realized what he wanted to say:
"So you want to suggest that I talk to the Shu family."
Shadow said:
"That's right, the Shu family is a member of the Rongbang faction. As one of the most important factions in the federation, no politician will contact you in the name of the Rongbang faction as a whole, because you are not considered important to this entire faction for the time being. On what.
"The Rongbang faction is also the faction with the largest number of members. Naturally, there are many subdivided groups within it. The Shu family where Tang Xueluan belongs is an important part of this faction. They have six positions in the Great Chamber that is not open to the public. This is a quite high number. “You must know that the Reform Faction only has a total of twenty-three positions, and the Rongbang Faction has a total of one hundred and eighty-seven positions.
"Although it seems a bit strange to me, the seats in this Great Chamber are indeed very important. They are two completely different things from the Upper and Lower Houses that deal with ordinary mortal affairs. They contain power that can threaten people with such high-level abilities. .
“This is the power they hold.
"And if you join the Shu family, you are not actually limited to this 'family' consisting of six members. Your identity is not a capable person who cooperates with the Shu family, but a person who cooperates with the Shu family and the Rongbang faction. Those who can.
"This is actually very important, because as long as you show your talent, you have the opportunity to get the support of the entire faction, and the upper limit of what they can provide you in all aspects is definitely higher than that of the new faction.
"For example, they can also interfere with Shenxiao's plan, and they can do it faster than the reform sect. Moreover, they naturally have more ways to arrange for you to enter the newly established anomaly agency that is going to go against the investigation department.
"Tang Xueluan wants to talk to you personally about the specific situation. If you are interested, you can discuss it with them individually, or wait for other factions within the federation to take action. If you want, you can join our investigation department, but I can't give it. So many benefits.
"But I think the best opportunity is already in front of you."
Ma En asked curiously:
"Which faction would you rather suggest me to join?"
Shadow smiled and replied:
"Smart question, I can't hurt you, so the answer is at least what I think is correct, but I can also remain silent.
"But I won't do that. After all, you have helped me a lot, and I am a good person who repays kindness.
"Since you asked me, I will tell you that Tang Xueluan may be a more suitable choice for you. She is actually a good child. I am using the standards of your Salvation Alliance members here. She is not the most typical politician.
"And I think she values you very much and should be able to offer you a sufficient price."
Ma En nodded:
"Then you can help me arrange a meeting with her."
Shadow smiled even more happily:
"Of course, it's a pleasure for an outstanding young man like you to join our Federation."
Ma En reminded:
"I'm just chatting with her, I may not really join you."
Shadow smiled and said:
"I understand that a genius like you who loses in Shenxiao always needs shelter and support. The Federation is only one of your choices, but I believe that Tang Xueluan will eventually give you a price you are satisfied with. Do you think she really appreciates you? .
"This is a little bit of information that I can confirm, and you might be able to use this in negotiations."
Ma En continued:
“Okay, let’s get back to why I came here to find you.
"I want to deliver on that promise."
Shadow nodded:
"what do you want."
Ma En said:
"Do you know any items or methods that can defend against level V psychic attacks?"
Asking this question actually makes Shadow ignore many things. There are many items that can resist level V psychic attacks for Ma En. They cannot be used on people with other abilities who do not have the abnormal control bureau. But even so, he does not want to risk exposing himself. Ability.
When Shadow heard this question, he blinked first, then looked at Ma En innocently and asked:
"Just out of curiosity, I want to ask if your purpose of finding this thing is to deal with me?"
Ma En said truthfully:
"No, of course not."
After hearing this, Shadow breathed a heavy sigh of relief, his expression as if he had really escaped a disaster:
"Phew, I thought you wanted to kill me, or were preparing to betray the Federation."
Ma En also said with a serious expression:
"If I wanted to kill you, I would definitely not let you know the news, unless I wanted to do it deliberately against you."
He also looked like he could really threaten Shadow.
Shadow smiled:
"That's good."
There's no guilt, and it doesn't look like he's lying.
Ma En asked:
"So does such a thing exist? What I need is one that can withstand powerful psychic attacks. It is not the casual psychic attacks of level V ability users. It must be able to survive the most dangerous attacks."
Shadow also stopped smiling:
"I won't ask you why you are looking for this thing, but in fact there are quite a few of these things, and some of them happen to be within the Federation. In fact, this is what politicians use to deal with and guard against those of us with mental abilities. .
"For example, anti-psychic metal. This metal is a precious mineral. The larger the volume, the stronger the effect. Moreover, it cannot be melted to increase the effect of the volume. A closed space made of several pieces of metal will still have gaps on the spiritual level. of.
"Small trinkets made of this metal can seriously interfere with level III telepaths. Specially made helmets can also effectively protect against level IV psychic users, and full-body armor can temporarily make them invisible in the realm of level V psychic users. But I think To achieve the effect you mentioned requires a completely airtight giant room.
"Such a confined space can only be cut from a natural giant metal block. Destruction of its volume will also reduce its strength. Fortunately, this metal can only isolate psychic abilities. Although its hardness is also very high, it is not as strong as Its main features were nothing in comparison, so they did build some houses that could only be accessed through space teleportation.
"But I want to warn you, if there is a Level V telepath who really wants to kill you, there is no way to stop it in a house like this. For example, I can teleport directly into the metal house. This is just one of the many ways the Federation uses to defend against me. one.
"Many Level V telepaths also have various weird skills. It's hard for me to say whether they are useful or not, but any abnormal items that meet your requirements are definitely valuable. If you just want to hide for a few days, I can do it for you. Get an anti-spiritual room.
"But if you want to get a piece of metal that is enough for you to hide, or other similar abnormal items...
"Then I'm afraid you really have no choice but to join the Federation."
