In the Abnormality Control Bureau, Ma En was sitting in an office where he had almost never been, waiting.
After obtaining this abnormal item that was specially left by the mastermind to deceive himself, Ma En did not find anything valuable there. The mastermind's handling methods were still as professional as ever.
In fact, now he has begun to suspect that the fact that this battle does not look so clean and tidy is also the result of the mastermind behind the scenes. His purpose is to make the flames of hell that have not yet been extinguished look more reasonable.
After all, if he really won an overwhelming victory, it would be impossible to leave any traces.
The mastermind behind the scenes wanted to delay time by leading him to other hell demons. He must have expected that he could investigate the flames through some methods, but the mastermind behind the scenes certainly did not expect that he did not have any conventional knowledge at all. Investigation technology can only rely on brute force cracking in the containment room.
And it is precisely because of this that most of the disguises are invisible in front of Ma En. If he is really like the mastermind behind the scenes, he can judge that it comes from the big devil through the flames of hell, then he should be able to pass it now. The information given by the Control Bureau determined the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.
But here he encountered a small problem, that is, he could not find out what it was. Even if he knew that this power was called Wisdom Phantom, the Control Bureau could not analyze its source. It is not within the scope of the control bureau's work. In fact, it does not even know which demon the hell flames are directed towards.
And because this anomalous entity has the nature of self-protection and hiding, it is impossible to directly peek into its essence without relying on the containment room. Therefore, it is not particularly simple to directly study it. It is difficult to say whether there is such a member in the Control Bureau. .
Click.
It was Qin Lan who walked in through the door. She was still holding a stack of documents in her hands. Ma En, who was sitting on the chair, could see that the scene behind the door was her office. They would not pass through the corridor when they met privately.
She placed the thick documents on the table, then shook her head slightly:
"I asked them all to look at it, but nothing came of it."
Ma En reached out and flipped through the documents in front of him. All the Control Bureau employees could do nothing about it. Only the demon expert who recently joined the team judged the hell creature that the flames wanted to guide him to deal with, and he was actually a horse. The big demon En had seen was the check and balancer who led the negotiations between the Federation and the Salvation Alliance at that time.
This checker and balancer is a Prince of Hell. The Prince of Hell is the title of the five great demons who are closest to the essence of hell. This also means that he is also the most dangerous among the many great demons in hell.
If he really thought the Checker was the mastermind, he would definitely be held back by this matter for a long time. Even if he didn't fully believe it, he would definitely have doubts. Fortunately, the containment room made him realize that this was a trap.
But now this has become a bargaining chip for his own counterattack.
Ma En said:
"This counterbalancer cannot be his ally. The man behind the scenes obviously wants us to get into trouble with the counterbalancer, but doing so means that he can only make us hostile by creating misunderstandings.
"In this case, we can completely rely on it to frame the Counterbalancer to exchange information about the Hell Flame and the Dark Star Church with the Counterbalancer itself. If I think correctly, the Church itself is also very likely to exchange information with the Counterbalancer itself. The masterminds behind the scenes are inextricably linked, and only the older demons and devils know the details.”
Qin Lan showed a clear expression:
"And now that we have barely surfaced, if the balancer wants to inquire, he will definitely know about the newly emerged organization 'Secret Alliance'. It will not be difficult for us to use this to trade with him."
Ma En nodded:
"But you can continue your research during this time, or you can try to ask Kalia to see if she knows any scholars who are particularly familiar with this field. If our plan goes wrong, there will be alternatives.
"Then you can form a special team with Kalia and other Control Bureau employees who have mastered the knowledge and research methods, and let them work together to study and see if they can find any clues. However, don't let Kalia take risks in reality. We have the memories here, and we don’t have extra energy to deal with the Federation now.”
Even if there was no mastermind behind the scenes, he would not let Kalia take risks. Although the Federation was a rather bloated and huge organization, the contact during this period also made Ma En realize that they were definitely not stupid.
They are just greedy, so they will definitely pay attention to people like Kalia who have come into contact with them. Although they may not go to the extent of actually checking her mind repeatedly, Ma En will never take such a risk.
Qin Lan nodded:
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now. I also think it's a good idea for you to contact the Balancer directly. The demon worshiped by the Dark Star Church is a very ancient demon. The Balancer has also existed for a long time. According to our According to the information we have, they should have been active in hell together, and the balancer was already a big demon at that time, so he must have some knowledge of this demon that the Dark Star Church worshiped in the past."
The deliberately destroyed sculpture actually hinted at the connection between the mastermind and the ancient demon.
Ma En went on to say
"And engaging with this check and balancer can also help resolve the compact that limits us today."
He was talking about the contract signed with the Federation that he could no longer help Shenxiao. In fact, when the most basic and loyal employees of the Control Bureau were composed of former members of the Salvation Alliance, this should have been a very dangerous thing.
Normally when he decided not to help Shen Xiao anymore. Members of the Salvation Alliance like Qin Lan should have been careful at this time, but in fact this did not happen.
Because neither Qin Lan nor other members of the Salvation Alliance who have a slight understanding of the Control Bureau feel that the contract of hell is something that cannot be broken like other ability users.
After all, they have seen how magical the Abnormal Control Bureau is. Ma En can't say how difficult it is to break the hell contract, but he can be sure that it is definitely not something that cannot be done.
Just as they were discussing how to find the mastermind through the flames of hell and the church itself, a piece of text suddenly appeared in front of them, and extremely urgent news came.
[The territory where the little devil is located is surrounded]
Sure enough, his preparations were not useless. The mastermind behind the scenes really had a backup plan and planned to attack him in hell. However, under his own precautions, the other party's actions were destined to be unable to threaten him.
Ma En said:
"Monitor the little devil's movements and teleport him back directly if he is in danger."
Then he teleported directly using the coordinates of the Little Devil.
