When Ma En opened the back door and prepared to step into the preparation room again, the scene in his eyes was very different from when he left. Only Tang Xueluan and a few core people were left in the room. Negotiating members.
"I'm sorry." Ma En looked at them with a look of shame, "I failed to convince Shen Xiao..."
But just when he thought he would face an attack from Shin Jong-dao, a member of the neo-liberal faction, Shin Jong-dao showed a gentle and polite smile:
"It's okay, it's okay. After all, you are facing Shenxiao. If it were me, I might not even be able to say anything in front of her."
This reaction made Ma En very surprised. He immediately turned his head to look at Tang Xueluan. Her face also showed a bit of wakefulness at this time. When she noticed Ma En looking over, she also gave him a reassuring look. Eyes.
Tang Xueluan said with a somewhat proud tone:
"That's not what you said before you went in."
Shen Zongdao could only smile apologetically for her words at this moment:
"I haven't seen the conversation between Mr. Ma En and Shen Xiao just now, but after seeing it, I gave up my doubts. After all, it doesn't look like they can do anything."
Having said this, he couldn't help but secretly mocked Ma En. Shen Zongdao originally thought that now was the best time for him to suppress these two neoliberal members. He had no intention of actually doing anything to them, but But he didn't expect that the next development would become even more outrageous, which also made him feel a little more resentful towards Ma En, a lucky ability user.
However, the tone and expression of Shen Zongdao's words were quite sincere. Even though everyone could tell that he was saying that Ma En had been acting very embarrassed just now, his expression was so sincere that they had the illusion that Shen Zongdao was sincerely wishing him the best. .
Moreover, in the face of their weird words and deeds at the moment, the other people did not show any expression. This made Ma En even feel that what he had just experienced and what they had seen were two different scenes, as if they really felt that what they had just performed very nice.
Zhao Guanwu didn't show anything, he just nodded slightly to him:
"This result is actually within my expectation. Many people will mistakenly think that Shenxiao will be soft-hearted because of her kindness, but in fact, she has a cold heart since she was a little girl and can watch evil deeds. occur.
"This is also related to her unique perspective on the world. She is not like us who only focus on right and wrong at this moment."
Ma En, still confused, looked at Shadow.
He also spoke in an encouraging tone:
"Although you didn't succeed just now, it's normal. We always lose more than we win when it comes to things related to Shen Xiao. Strictly speaking, we only won once, and she only lost once.
"Now that you have just joined the Federation, you will have many opportunities to show off your skills in the future."
This was completely different from what Ma En had expected. He had obviously acted so embarrassed just now, and his purpose in doing so was to expose his seemingly contradictory psychological situation and make the federation think that it had figured out his thoughts and treat him Lower your guard.
In this way, he can smoothly and quietly follow up on this mission, and return to Atlantis at the right time to steal the Sea-Crossing Scepter.
But why does it seem like he has just successfully completed some difficult task?
Tang Xueluan seemed to have noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, and began to say back:
"Ma En, actually your performance just now was not very good. This mission also failed. We really couldn't give you what you wanted according to the original agreement. To be honest, I actually have higher expectations for you.
"But now your performance is reasonable, and don't we have some unexpected surprises this time?"
When she said this, Xiaoyao was standing not far behind a few people, but this time they had no intention of hiding it from him. The shadow they were discussing just now had specially blocked the spread of information.
This gave Ma En a bit of a bad premonition.
The meeting with Shenxiao just now was quite brief, and in order not to arouse the suspicion of the federation, he did not try to obtain any
There seemed to be some vague meaning in what Shen Xiao said to him, but she couldn't speak clearly enough under federal surveillance.
Ma En now recalled what Shen Xiao said just now, but it seemed that he couldn't reconcile it with the situation in front of him.
"What's going on?" Ma En asked directly, "I did cooperate with you for anti-psychic metal, and in my opinion, this is just a deal between me and you, but now since I failed to complete the task , then you don’t need to give me any reward.
"But now you seem to be acting a little strange."
Zhao Guanwu said:
"Yes, anti-psychic metal is a very expensive thing, and it is also a first-class abnormal object. It is almost impossible for you as a member of a loose department such as the Advisory Department to get it. Only the matter of Shenxiao will make the Federation pay such a price. High pay.
"So after this, I'm afraid you won't have much chance to get it. If you have the ability to get it, I guess you won't need it anymore."
This is actually inaccurate, because Ma En's true identity in the Federation is not a member of the advisory department, but a "genius" capable person who accepts investment from the Shu family and cooperates with them, and what they need is their own future.
But at this moment, Tang Xueluan also said with a strange expression:
"Yes, that's why I feel sorry for you. I'm afraid we won't have a chance to obtain anti-psychic metal from now on."
These words should not be said in public at all. At this time, Shen Zongdao also showed a seemingly gentle smile to Ma En, but Ma En always felt that his smile was somewhat malicious.
Judging from their words, this seems to imply that the Federation does not intend to give him the anti-psychic metal, at least not in the way he originally expected, because they want to use this thing to manipulate themselves.
In fact, Ma En also specifically showed his excessive desire for anti-psychic metal - because this can cover up his other purposes and prevent the federation from suspecting that he accepted this task to talk to Shenxiao.
This is also the best choice for him, and with the help of the Shu family, this "show of weakness" should logically make the federation feel more confident about him. After all, his thoughts can be predicted. , and there is no threat to them.
But is there something unexpected going on now?
Shadow looked into Ma En's eyes and said:
"But now a perfect opportunity has just appeared for you. The Federation is willing to hand over the anti-psychic metal to you as a reward, and all you need to do is stop what you are doing and join Xiaoyao's family.
"As long as you are willing to become his disciple and study under him until he is satisfied, we can give you the anti-psychic metal."
