Tang Xueluan opened the door and led Ma En into the room. The other three members of the advisory team were already waiting for him inside.
"Your Excellency Ma En, you are well." After seeing Ma En come in, the boy who was sitting alone in the corner immediately showed a polite smile, and then immediately looked at Tang Xueluan standing next to him, "Miss Tang, we It’s been a long time since I last saw you.”
The position where Wang Yang was sitting was not suitable for chatting with the other two people. It could be seen that he sat here deliberately, and the other two members also kept a certain distance from each other, as if the three of them were forcibly pressed together. Same inside the house.
Ma En and Wang Yang nodded slightly, then looked at the other two people.
Jiang Yuanda is a thin middle-aged man. His expression is quite sluggish and gloomy, and he looks a little nervous. When Ma En walked in, he looked up at them, but immediately turned away and did not want to talk to them. It means hello.
The last one was a young woman in white clothes - Kania from the institute. When they walked in, she also looked over with a cold expression. Her eyes were not as "arrogant" as Tang Xueluan said, but they exuded A deep-seated indifference.
Marne could sense that she didn't care about anyone in this room, and she had no intention of hiding this attitude.
"Very good, everything is here." Kania nodded expressionlessly, "Then let's get started."
Tang Xueluan also walked over and said:
"How about we introduce ourselves to each other first?"
But she didn't expect Kania to actually deny the proposal:
"There is no need for this. You must have read each other's information before coming here. This level of understanding is enough. We can save you unnecessary pleasantries that are of no practical use. Our time is precious."
Although these words sounded very much like a "provocation" to Tang Xueluan, Kania's tone did not have any waves when she spoke. Several other people present even felt that these were her sincere words and there was nothing personal about them. mood.
Like she really just doesn't feel like a waste of time.
Tang Xueluan, who was a politician, didn't feel any strange. He just smiled and nodded politely:
"You're right. I'm actually just worried that there might be some estrangement between them. After all, everyone except you and me were followers of Shenxiao in the past. I thought that having a few words in advance might help avoid any problems in cooperation. small problem.
"But since you think this is not a problem, then I will trust the judgment of experts."
In fact, speaking these words can inoculate several of them in advance. What Tang Xueluan is really worried about is not Ma En or Wang Yang, but Jiang Yuanda, who betrayed Shenxiao under severe torture. He is the most unstable among them all. of that.
Kania nodded:
"Very well, let's talk about our work next. You have all heard about Atlantis, so I won't go into details. And there is only one thing you need to know about it - destroying Atlantis. Sri Lanka's sea tribe can also destroy the world.
"So when there is no other choice, the Federation has to let Shenxiao come forward to fight them. Only her ability can suppress these creatures that can get stronger as they fight. You don't need to understand the principle. It has nothing to do with us. .
"The really important work is the responsibility of other departments. What we have to do is very simple. If we want Shenxiao to leave the prison, we must first contain her through other methods. This mainly uses our restrictions. Devices and rituals, but those things alone cannot trap the most powerful person in the federation. A special contract is required to achieve this effect of restraining her.
"But if this is the case, she will not agree to sign the treaty, because she knows very well that this will provide us with an opportunity to manipulate her, so she will definitely ask to cancel the impact on her after completing the task, otherwise we will have the opportunity to completely control she."
Ma En asked:
"Don't you have her under control now?"
Kania glanced at her:
"No, we are suppressing her now. When I say control, I mean controlling her strength.
We are still studying the impact of this. If you have any questions, you can leave them until I finish speaking.
"Back to the topic, Shenxiao will not give us the opportunity to completely control her, so she will put forward provisions that can effectively prevent this from happening to protect herself. This is also the problem that the Federation most expects us to solve.
"But neither they nor I have any confidence in this. This is the best situation for us. Unless some small probability event that can be called a miracle occurs, this is absolutely impossible to achieve.
"And our real purpose lies elsewhere. First of all, since she is going to use the restraint device to perform the task, she will definitely leave a lot of important information. These are things we must obtain. This information can help us in the next step. Shenxiao definitely doesn’t want her research to be obtained by us, but compared to falling directly into our control, this condition is not unacceptable.
"This is what the federation requires us to achieve, and this is what is most important to us.
"Then there is the degree of freedom she has in carrying out her mission, which may be difficult to understand. Let's put it this way, the Federation wants to require comprehensive and complete monitoring and strong restraint of her actions, but she will definitely refuse us firmly.
"Because she knows very well that this is not the most important thing to me, and if Shenxiao's power is to operate, she needs to give orders that are completely in line with her personal will. Therefore, doing so will prevent her from realizing her abilities well. .
"So in fact we won't really affect her behavior. She is not a weapon that can be easily controlled. In fact, what we need is only weak constraints with low interference, as long as the most important conditions are ensured. If nothing goes wrong, then other details are of little significance to us.
"And with Shenxiao's power, unless she agrees, we don't have any particularly good means of surveillance and strong restraint. All other means can be blocked or destroyed by her. After all, since we have to deal with the Sea Clan, she will definitely The power of the reply part.
"But even though this matter seems meaningless, the Federation still hopes that we can realize it, because in fact, if we can install an advanced surveillance and restraint system on her, the value of the information obtained in the end will definitely be much higher.
“Actually, the purpose of doing this is to get better research data.
"The last point is the third point. The Federation hopes that we can take the opportunity to let her accept a new source of power. This is also an important part of our overall plan for her - we have initially established the Shenxiao Salvation Religion, which can directly replace the Salvation Alliance. The original position provided her with a steady stream of power, but she was unwilling to accept this condition.
"Because the organization itself can also restrain her, but we can claim that if we do not accept this source of power, we will not be able to let her leave while ensuring restraint. Of course, in fact we can do it, and according to calculations , we don’t need to let Shenxiao reach our limit limit to solve this problem.
"So what we have in front of us are two goals, to allow Shenxiao to accept full surveillance, and to accept Shenxiao's Salvation Cult as a source of power.
"Do you have any questions about this?"
When she said this she looked like a teacher preparing to answer a child's question.
Several other people shook their heads, and only Ma En asked:
"So this is why you asked the Salvation Alliance to disband in the first place?"
Kania answered honestly:
"That's right, if you hadn't disbanded, we wouldn't have been able to let Shenxiao accept a new source of power. And even if she still resists after you disband, we can eventually find a way to make Shenxiao's Salvation Cult become a part of her.
"At that time, we agreed that an armistice would be a better and faster solution than completely destroying you."
Ma En nodded:
"Then I have no other questions."
She nodded with satisfaction:
"Very well, then it's my turn to ask questions.
"I have actually made a basic judgment on Shenxiao's bottom line, but I still need some
Reference material, after all, I have not really dealt with Shenxiao head-on, and you, except Ma En, have had many interactions with Shenxiao. "
In fact, Kania is not very satisfied with Marn as a sample who still follows Shenxiao, but the situation is harsh, and this is the best candidate that the Federation can find. It is impossible for other members of the Salvation Alliance who are still following Shenxiao. Work with them.
She looked at the boy first:
"Wang Yang, can you tell me your impression of Shen Xiao? What kind of person do you think she is?"
The boy showed a thoughtful look. He usually didn't really think about this problem, and if the federation didn't need him to do so this time, I'm afraid he would never take the initiative to think about it in his life.
"Let me think about it..." Wang Yang pondered, "Actually, if you suddenly asked me, it's hard for me to explain clearly what kind of person she is. At first, I thought she was a madman, but when I thought I knew her From then on, I felt that she was actually a so-called good person.
"But after I really got to know her, my view of her returned to the original.
"She's crazy."
Kania nodded:
"If I mention the word Shenxiao, what is your most instinctive emotion?"
The boy hesitated for a few seconds, but still said:
"Fear, this is not the common kind of fear, but..."
"Very good." Kania nodded and interrupted, "You don't need to explain."
Wang Yang said with some confusion:
"But I haven't gotten to the point yet?"
Kania still said with a cold face:
"I know what you want to say, and I know very well that you can't actually explain your awkward true feelings, but I don't need you to explain this. I'm just asking you this question to verify my judgment. , and your reaction is enough for me."
At this time, Ma En finally understood why Tang Xueluan would say that Kania was arrogant. This could even be said to be arrogance. She didn't care at all how Wang Yang described his feelings for Shen Xiao, because she believed it more than Wang Yang's opinion. own judgment of him.
And it seemed that everything Wang Yang said was what she expected.
Kania then looked at Jiang Yuanda, who had always remained silent:
"Tell me what you think of Shenxiao."
The listless middle-aged man raised his head slowly, looking at Kania with numb eyes, and his voice also had a kind of tired nervousness:
"I, I don't know, maybe she is a great leader or a kind savior, but it's like a disguise. I can't tell. I can't tell whether she is truly kind or hypocritical. She is too far away from me. I I can’t see it at all…”
He spoke intermittently, and his logic was completely illogical, but Kania showed a satisfied expression.
"Very well, now tell me your most instinctive reaction." She said like a test rat.
Jiang Yuanda said somewhat dullly:
"me……"
Kania asked quite firmly:
"Guilty?"
He lowered his head.
Seeing this, Kania nodded with certainty, and then moved her gaze to the last "Follower of Shenxiao":
"Marn, you are the latest to join the Federation. According to the information they gave me, you don't seem to have had any contact with her. But in theory, it is entirely possible that you have met in private, and my intuition tells me that this possibility is actually very high. Reasonable.
"But these are not important. I think understanding Shenxiao does not require meeting her.
"It's like I haven't seen her at all, but I am very confident that I know Shenxiao better than you all, because when you are around her, it is difficult to ignore the existence of her power, unless you really don't have the ability to do so. Basic perception.
"But I hear you're not the biggest idiot, so tell me...
"What's your impression of her?"
Ma En thought for a while and said:
"Did you say that?
Wrong, when I am in the whirlpool related to her, I can also vaguely see her outline. The most direct feeling she gives me is not the good and evil they often discuss, but the undoubted power. .
"She is like a steep mountain that humans can never successfully challenge. You can see her presence everywhere, and you will have the idea of climbing this mountain, but your reason will constantly remind you that this is not possible. possible.
"At least that's how I thought of her before, but now you've won."
Kania frowned after hearing this, paused for a few seconds and then said in a somewhat impatient tone:
"Tell me, what are your instinctive emotions towards her?"
Ma En replied sincerely:
"admire."
"Tell the truth," Kania demanded without changing her expression.
Ma En blinked and paused for a few seconds before saying:
"I do admire her...
"But I might still be a little worried."
Kania finally nodded with satisfaction:
"Yes, deep down in your heart you are always wary of her, which is why you cooperate with the Federation.
"Because you just found a companion who thinks like you."
