federal.
Nie Chengyu stood in front of the glass cabinet and looked up and down at the long gun lying horizontally. Then his eyes fell slightly on the densely written panel below, and he carefully read the introduction of the long gun.
"So what Ma En said is indeed true." Nie Chengyu looked at it and said, "This weapon does come from that ancient civilization, and it was specially forged for Serran."
The middle-aged researcher standing opposite him replied:
"Yes, but we don't know much about its specific effects yet. It will take at least a few months to crack this weapon. If you don't plan to study it in depth, the current evidence is enough."
Nie Chengyu nodded slightly:
"It doesn't actually matter whether this weapon is genuine or not. Ma En will also make a promise in the contract, and if he wants to continue to cooperate with us, he has to provide some evidence, and we also have to think about what we can do. I defrauded one or two such weapons from the Camarilla.
"How do you think we can do that?"
He looked at Tang Xueluan who was also looking at the spear beside him.
Tang Xueluan raised her head as if she suddenly woke up, and then showed an expression as if she didn't hear what he said clearly, but she woke up after about two seconds:
"Oh, I want to trick Ma En into getting these weapons..."
She paused slightly and looked thoughtful, but finally shook her head:
"I think it's difficult, Ma En is not the type that we can knock at will, because he can definitely see through our tricks and know where the federation's bottom line is, and the most important thing is that he has the courage.
"He has the courage to stick to the bottom line and fight us to the death."
Nie Chengyu looked at her and said:
"You think this kind of courage is more important?"
Tang Xueluan nodded:
"It's useless to know where our bottom line is, because we also know where their bottom line is, and if we can afford it, they will definitely be the first to give up.
"But Marne was different. I never saw fear in his eyes."
Nie Chengyu said unequivocally:
"Every human being will have fear. He is just very good at hiding his emotions. I have actually seen a lot of such people. The key is to guess where their bottom line is.
"They have a bottom line, they just can't see it."
Tang Xueluan disagreed with Nie Chengyu:
"You are right, but I still think Ma En is different. He is not the kind of person you mentioned.
"I don't think he is human at all."
Nie Chengyu said doubtfully:
"You're saying he's a little crazy."
Tang Xueluan nodded slightly:
"Yes, I will never forget the look on Ma En's face when I exposed him."
At that time, he looked as if the secret he was talking about was just an insignificant problem, not that he had done such a bloody thing as killing his sister.
He was like a monster without emotions, but Tang Xueluan felt that Ma En was not really a cold-blooded monster. At least in her opinion, Ma En was like all normal humans, understanding emotions and desires.
Tang Xueluan never felt how cold he was when she was getting along with him, so when Ma En was still facing him so calmly at that moment, she felt such a strong sense of weirdness and discomfort.
It was as if the person standing opposite him was a monster in human skin.
This is a very tricky explanation, but unfortunately Ma En is not a monster. After that incident, she spent a lot of time investigating Ma En's past and noticed some problems.
However, there are no clues pointing to Ma En as the so-called "monster" in her heart. Instead, it proves that Ma En may be a very gentle and kind "ordinary person" who also has relatives who love him.
This result actually made Tang Xueluan even more uncomfortable. She would rather Ma En showed his true nature at that time. However, there was actually one thing among these things that seemed to have some hope, but this hope was extremely slim.
That is the fact that Ma En once entered a mental hospital. He was described in the case as if he was a hysterical madman, and this can actually be used to illustrate Ma En's "mental problem."
But later the federation discovered the secret of Ma En's chief physician. He often received money to forge mental illness certificates for wealthy people. It was far more reasonable for Ma En to find him and sneak into the hospital than that he was crazy.
So she still doesn't have an answer, and she really longs for an answer...
Nie Chengyu nodded slightly:
"I understand, thank you, so what are your thoughts?"
After hearing this, Tang Xueluan still shook his head:
"I'm still not ready to join your group."
But she didn't want answers that much either.
Nie Chengyu said sincerely:
"We really need you, and the Federation needs you too."
Tang Xueluan still insisted:
"I also hope to provide help to the Federation, but actually I don't know Ma En that well, and I don't think I can analyze anything useful. He is an elusive monster to me.
"What happened in the real world is that I was easily fooled by him."
Nie Chengyu has no intention of giving up:
"But it is this kind of unforgettable feeling that allows you to see him clearly, and even if you say you don't know Ma En well enough, you definitely know him better than we do. You see...
"Without you, I wouldn't have realized that we couldn't deceive Ma En, and I was still thinking of ways to get some weapons from him. According to you, it should probably anger him, right?"
Tang Xueluan said:
"That's all the help I can give."
Nie Chengyu smiled:
"You are too modest. I think you may have seen clearly what kind of person Ma En is, but you will refuse just because you think it is useless even if you see him clearly, because he is too troublesome.
"But if your vision is combined with our methods, many problems can be solved."
Tang Xueluan didn't think much about it. She felt that even if she combined herself with the Federation, it would be useless. For a guy like Ma En, knowing Ma En would not make him easier to deal with. He is not this type.
So she still refused:
"Excuse me……"
Nie Chengyu interrupted with a smile:
"I understand your thinking, but how will you know if you don't try? Taking a step back, your understanding of Ma En will also help prevent this negotiation from breaking down. You see, I almost made the wrong decision just now.
"And if this negotiation succeeds, the benefits will be felt by the entire federation. You should also know what the gods have done in the southern part of the federation. I think everyone in the federation will want them to sleep.
"I believe you are no exception, right?"
He wasn't really asking the question at the end.
Tang Xueluan paused and said:
"Okay, but I have a request...
"I don't want him to see me."
Nie Chengyu readily agreed:
"certainly."
