Tang Xueluan's words were somewhat beyond Ma En's expectations, but he quickly understood the meaning. For Tang Xueluan, killing her sister was a very bad thing, but she was not a person like her parents.
So a certain part of her body can suppress her love for her sister and look at the existence of the murderer who killed her sister in a more rational way. "He" probably just did the right thing.
But she absolutely cannot accept that her sister was killed by her trusted ally. There is not only the hatred of her sister being killed, but also the pain of being betrayed by her trusted ally. The two emotions are superimposed.
A mere betrayal of an ally or Shu Yun's death might not be that difficult for her to accept. Tang Xueluan might feel pain and sadness, but in the end she would definitely make the "right" decision.
But it's different if his trusted ally kills his own sister.
Ma En, who wants to understand this, can understand Tang Xueluan's situation very well. If his ally had done something similar to him, he would probably have killed him by now.
What really worries Ma En is the meaning behind this matter - she will know this, and such a reaction must not leave the person behind the scenes, even if she has thought of it as dangerous as possible, but maybe in fact He still somewhat underestimated this enemy hiding in the dark.
"Sorry." Ma En apologized to her again, "I don't want to be the one who killed her, but this matter may have been doomed a long time ago. It can only be me, and it must be me."
Tang Xueluan frowned slightly, but did not carefully ponder the hidden meaning of Ma En's words. She did not know what Ma En's thoughts were when he said this, but these were not important to her.
"Ma En, you killed my sister." Tang Xueluan looked a little calmer than before, "You are also a person with a sister. I think you should also understand that sometimes you will notice that your relatives are making mistakes.
"I know that my sister is not a good person, and she deserves it, but she is just a bad person, not a cold-blooded madman. No matter how different our ideas are, we are still relatives.
“I will always be that sister to her and she will be a sister to me.
"If I die, she will avenge me. Even in this regard, she will definitely be more qualified than me. She will never care who killed her sister, unlike me who is still fussing over it."
Ma En had long realized that she would not be able to escape unscathed. Since Tang Xueluan called her here, it meant that she had probably prepared a backup plan. After all, she had just exposed her idea of erasing her memory.
Since she could think of this, it was absolutely impossible for her to come here to meet her without doing anything.
"So you have started to take revenge." Ma En accepted the result calmly.
"That's right." Tang Xueluan raised his head slightly, looked at him calmly and said, "I already know that you are actually a Level V ability user who has infiltrated the Federation, and your purpose of doing this is probably the same as killing Shu Yun. .
"You did all this for Shenxiao, right?"
Ma En thought of Shu Yunpeng's idea at that time:
"So as long as you tell the Federation this, all my plans will collapse, my killing of your sister may become meaningless, and I will die under the pursuit of the Federation.
"In fact, if you tell the federation about it, I will definitely be caught or killed by them."
Even if there is an Abnormality Control Bureau, the possibility of him escaping in this situation is not high. Even if the Federation is not considered to extend his transmission time, the default time of thirty seconds may be enough for the Federation.
If they wanted to, they would definitely be able to use overwhelming combat resources against themselves.
But this also made Ma En feel a little confused. If you put it that way, in fact, he should not have come here to meet her now, but suddenly fell into the siege of many Level V ability users in the federation.
"Yes, but you are wrong." Tang Xueluan said with a cold expression, "I would not have told the federation. Now the federation already knows your secret, and when you came here to meet me...
"They have received my message and know that you are actually up to something evil."
What she did was very smart, confessing the news to herself here.
What she did didn't particularly surprise Ma En. When the Shu family started to deal with him, he had already realized that this would happen sooner or later. He just wanted to spend a few days to obtain the anti-psychic metal items.
It's just that he didn't think that the man behind the scenes didn't give him any time to breathe. In fact, as long as he gave himself two more days, he would become much more difficult to deal with.
Unfortunately, the mastermind seems unlikely to make such a mistake.
The most terrifying thing is that the bargaining chip Tang Xueluan used against him this time was the result of his last action. It was the assassination arranged by the Shu family that made him know that he had level V abilities, and he immediately used this information. , and directly disintegrated many of his original plans within the federation.
But there is one more thing...
He looked surprised:
"Then why did you ask me to come here?"
This was entirely to give him a chance to escape. Did she really want to tell her this in person, so much so that she even lost her ability to judge the matter?
Tang Xueluan looked at him and said:
"Because I'm not you. I know you have a sister. She should be someone you care about especially. After the Federation knows about your problem, it will also take your matter very seriously. They will probably go to your sister. and tried to pry her mouth open, possibly hurting her.
"But you were the one who killed my sister, not her. I don't want her to be implicated in this matter, so I asked you to come here and give you some time to hide her safely."
Ma En looked at her and said:
"But if you do this, it seems that you will also give me a chance to escape safely?"
Tang Xueluan looked at Ma En without any fear and said:
"Then it's none of my business, I just don't want to implicate innocent people.
"Marn, you should be able to tell by the fact that I will seek cooperation with you, I am not the typical politician you often see. If I don't care about these, I have countless better partners to choose from.
"I came to you, a former member of the Salvation Alliance who is full of trouble, because what I care about is your identity as a member of the Salvation Alliance, and because I don't want to do what they do. I once mistakenly thought that you were similar to me. I think you are the best companion I can find in the Federation.
"I used to trust you unconditionally because I thought you were worthy of my trust, but now it seems...
"I'm still too naive."
Ma En didn't know how much of this passage was her true thoughts. If it were him, he would never give the target he wanted to kill a chance to escape for this reason. Is she really as naive as she claimed.
He blinked slightly and quickly recalled Tang Xueluan's past performance.
Then Ma En came to the conclusion that no matter what, she was definitely not that stupid. After all, if she was really determined enough to kill herself, she would never consider what would happen to her enemy's sister.
In fact, she was giving herself time to escape.
Ma En originally thought that Tang Xueluan arranged to meet here to protect her own safety, but now it seems that there is actually a second reason, which is to prevent herself from being suddenly found by people from the Federation.
"No matter what you think," Ma En said, "I am very grateful to you for giving me enough time to escape the federal pursuit safely. I am really sorry about Shu Yun."
As he thought, Tang Xueluan didn't have a particularly strong reaction to this sentence. If she really wanted to kill him as she claimed, she would probably regard his words as a provocation.
"It doesn't matter what you think." Tang Xueluan almost half-acknowledged Ma En's statement, "Maybe I just want to see you struggling under the federal pursuit, or maybe I'm not telling the truth at all."
Even putting aside the hatred for killing Shu Yun, Tang Xueluan's actions as a federal politician were completely benevolent. As a politician, she certainly could not allow herself to continue to lurk in the federal government.
In other words, the best thing any politician can do after knowing this secret is to give himself time to escape in advance, and then report the matter to the federation.
And considering their own psychic abilities, they can only be like Tang Xueluan, who notifies themselves in a safe zone and sends the news to the federation at the same time, and they cannot inform themselves of the matter in advance.
So in fact, putting aside what she said and looking at what she was really doing, what Tang Xueluan did was far from the level of "revenge". In the final analysis, it was just to expel herself, an undercover agent, from the federation.
And still got out safely.
This does not include killing her sister.
As a politician, she is still too soft-hearted.
Ma En looked sincerely apologetic:
"I know you may not believe what I say now, but I still want to tell you that I am really sorry for the direction of this whole thing. In such a world, your revenge is an extremely legitimate behavior.
"If there's anything wrong with this, maybe it's that your sister is a bad person.
"Although you may not want to hear me say this, I still hope you can stay away from this vortex. Once you are involved in it, it may be difficult to ensure safety even if you are a member of the Shu family.
"What happens next is too dangerous for you."
Tang Xueluan said somewhat amusingly:
"Don't you think it's too late to care about me now? To be honest, if you confessed this earlier, I might have been a little hard to accept it at first, but I would definitely stand by you in the end.
"But you don't trust me either, do you?"
Ma En said with an expression that said she couldn't tell the truth:
"No, I believe you. I didn't say it just because I couldn't do that. If we lived in a world where we didn't need to be so cautious, I wouldn't have hidden anything from you in the first place."
Tang Xueluan knew that the second half of the sentence might be true, but now she couldn't tell whether what this man said was the truth or a lie. Fortunately, it didn't matter anymore.
They probably won't meet again in the future.
In fact, the real situation was exactly what Ma En thought. When she sent the message to Ma En, she already knew that this insidious and cunning man would definitely not be caught, but in the end she did it anyway.
After all, she is not like her parents, Shu Yun, or Ma En.
Ma En stood up and finally gave her an apologetic look:
"Sorry, if you don't mind, I'm going to start my escape career again now.
"And I have to arrange my sister's affairs."
He did have some things to deal with urgently.
But just when Ma En turned around and was about to walk towards the door, he heard Tang Xueluan's voice coming from behind:
"etc."
Ma En turned around with some confusion, wondering what else Tang Xueluan wanted to do.
Tang Xueluan seemed to want to sigh, but still held it back:
"Before you leave, I have something else to give you."
As she spoke, she casually threw a small object towards Ma En.
Ma En easily caught what she threw, then opened his palms and looked over.
This is a delicate silver ring engraved with intricate textures.
"What is this?" he asked as quietly as possible.
Tang Xueluan replied:
"This was given to me by a guy in a black robe. He invited me to room 1223 here and told me what you had done, including the time you erased my memory.
"He called it the Ring of Lies and said that using this thing can prevent you from noticing the problem, but I didn't do anything according to his instructions. I don't know what his purpose was...
"But I have my own thoughts on the matter, and he's also a threat to the federation in my opinion.
"So if you can get rid of him for the Federation, I will be very happy as a Federation member. Since you are sorry for killing my sister, why not help me get rid of him.
"How about it?"
Ma En never thought that he would get clues about the mastermind in this way, because he knew that the significance of doing so to Tang Xueluan was obviously not to "help the federation solve the threat", but to help him deal with the mastermind.
He put the ring away:
"Thanks, I'll take care of him."
Tang Xueluan looked at him expressionlessly and said:
"Finally, before you leave, do me a favor and suppress the memory of our meeting for a few days. I want to accept the most basic investigation process of the Federation, and I don't want to get into trouble because the Federation thinks I am helping you.
"You, a level V ability user, should be able to do this little thing, right?"
If the Federation were to see this memory, they would indeed judge that she was helping Ma En escape. After all, that is what she was actually doing, and letting Ma En suppress this memory was actually still helping him escape tracking.
Mahn replied:
"sure."
Tang Xueluan nodded slightly, and then said solemnly:
"Although I know you can't do this here, I still have to warn you that you can only suppress it for a few days...
"Not even a bit can be erased."
