I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Ma En placed the teacup back in its original position:

"What are the downsides?"

Faced with Ma En's question, Shadow paused noticeably, but in the end, he told the truth:

"Your question can be phrased differently—what is the price of greed?

"The concerns of those politicians and federal members are hard to say whether they are right or wrong. Who can predict what the Seer will do? In fact, most of them and I know that Shenxiao is not a particularly vengeful character. The love and hatred of mortals seem trivial in her eyes.

"But the fact that this matter can be продвигаться means that some highly respected guys in the Federation have agreed, and they are not stupid. No fool can climb to that position. They are just selfish.

"With the joint efforts of many traitors and our experts, we have basically understood how Shenxiao's abilities work. Those who can decide on this matter also know the secrets, and this has given them new evil worries.

"They understand that these things don't mean much to Shenxiao. Even if she is really angry, she can appease her anger by pushing out a few particularly annoying bastards, just like using sacrifices to satisfy a awakened dragon.

"But the problem is that she is a Seer. We can't understand Shenxiao in the way ordinary people do.

"What she does does not depend on the surface situation, but is determined by the future."

"Those smart people are still worried that Shenxiao will retaliate against them, and their basis for thinking that Shenxiao will do this is that there are still many others in the Federation who are not as 'smart' as them. They don't understand everything about Shenxiao.

"So they will believe that Shenxiao is睚眦必报, and she will use her revenge to establish her own prestige.

"If this is a future that is beneficial to achieving Shenxiao's goals, she may take action.

"And the point is that Shenxiao doesn't necessarily have to do it herself to kill people. If she only uses ordinary methods of killing people that are visible to the naked eye, those politicians would not worry at all. They can still restrain this level.

"But what Shenxiao can do is to move the future in the direction of their death. She doesn't even need to meet them even once. As long as the mortality rate of these politicians who have grudges against Shenxiao is much higher than the normal level ten years later, everyone will know who they died because of.

"They will all be afraid, so they don't want such things to exist.

"And as I said here, you must be able to feel it more or less. If we want to avoid this situation, then we have to put on her a shackle that can truly imprison her mind. In fact, we already have something similar.

"But the existing finished products will greatly weaken the power of reality warpers. This has an irreconcilable conflict with the way their power operates, and this is contrary to our purpose. What we want is not a controlled ordinary Tier 5 ability user.

"What we want is the Shenxiao Walker.

"Although we can let the research institute create props that can deal with Shenxiao, it will take a lot of time, and it will take more chips to put it on Shenxiao's neck. This is why they suddenly want to hunt down your colleagues.

"But in my opinion, doing so is not good for the entire Federation. It is only meaningful for those who may be retaliated against by Shenxiao."

Ma En reminded:

"And those who can't control their greed."

The reason why other people are willing to support them is also very simple, because if they succeed, although it will not produce any meaningful changes to the Federation as a whole, it can satisfy the private desires of most of them.

Shadow casually brushed it over:

"That's right, but they are not the focus we need to pay attention to.

"And in my opinion, the whole thing is that greedy people are courting death. You should understand as well as I do how dangerous Shenxiao is, and I don't think it's a good thing to keep delaying this matter.

"This will only guide the future in a direction that is beneficial to Shenxiao."

Ma En asked an interesting question:

"So you came to me?"

Shadow looked at him and said:

"That's right, you are a member of the Salvation Alliance. Logically speaking, you would be happy to see things develop in the current direction.

"But the problem is that I don't completely think this is useful. Although my understanding of Shenxiao may be a bit one-sided, I am still a Tier 5 mental ability user. How to judge people is also my strength.

"If everything goes smoothly, it will only be beneficial to Shenxiao, and I also think this matter may encounter a problem, that is, Shenxiao may not really make concessions because of the lives of these Salvation Alliance members, to be honest...

"They are not worth it.

"If they force Shenxiao to a situation where she has to choose, her decision may be beyond their expectations, and I don't want to see this happen. The decisions you actually make often really change you.

"As a mental ability user, I know very well how powerless fantasies are.

"Hundreds of ideas cannot be compared to one real action. What you do will eventually affect how you think. This is especially obvious for reality warpers."

Ma En asked suspiciously:

"You mean, you are worried that Shenxiao will undergo changes you don't want because of a forced decision.

"But she has lived for nearly thirty years."

Ma En doubted that Shadow was not telling the truth, at least not completely.

Shadow looked at him and said:

"But she is Shenxiao.

"For Shenxiao, there is no such thing as being forced, and now she can't see anything. If she could still see what impact her decisions would have, it wouldn't matter, but now she is blind.

"She could see before, but now she is blind, can you understand?"

Ma En nodded slightly:

"I know what you are talking about, but since this is what you are worried about, it is a good thing for us."

Shadow shrugged:

"The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily a friend, but may also be a harbinger of doom.

"Even if this matter itself will not completely change Shenxiao, what about the next one? They will not stop easily after they start. What do you think will happen even if Shenxiao doesn't care?

"They will continue to try, and eventually stimulate Shenxiao and create a monster that we don't want to see.

"You have also seen reality warpers with your own eyes. They are not human at all."

Ma En nodded:

"What you said is logically self-consistent, but what this whole passage wants to tell me is that participating in this matter is beneficial to both you and us, and in my opinion, such coincidences are often just lies.

"It's just serving your purpose.

"And I believe in Shenxiao more than you do."

Shadow did not give an accurate response to this:

"Maybe, you can think so, think that these worries I said are nonsense, and doing this is just because of the power struggle within the Federation, and I happen to be on the opposite side of them.

"Then use other ways of thinking. Your former compatriots are about to face the worst fate. How do you feel about this?"

Ma En replied quite calmly:

"They made their own choices, but that doesn't mean I have to pay the price for their decisions. This is not the result they want. What they want is for the Federation to pay the price."

Shadow sighed seemingly regretfully:

"Moths flying into the flame, what can they do?

"You and I both know that this is just self-indulgence. If they really think about it with their brains, they can realize that this is definitely not the best decision for Shenxiao."

Ma En said:

"I am not them, and I don't know why they did this.

"So I won't judge them."

Although he also thinks this is courting death, Ma En will not ask others to make the best decision in his eyes, because he knows very well that his behavior may also be a terrible decision in the eyes of others.

People should be different.

There was a bit of helplessness on Shadow's face:

"It seems that you are indeed the kind of person I thought you were. It is useless to reason with you or move you with emotion. It seems that I can only use my last resort. Then, considering the above factors...

"How much do you want?"

He just looked at Ma En like this. Under the premise of being restricted by the cease-fire agreement, he couldn't predict how Ma En would answer.

"How much are you going to offer?" Ma En asked calmly.

When Shadow mentioned the sun and other gods, Ma En had basically decided to accept his commission, and then the things he mentioned were actually very suitable for him, and it was exactly what Qin Lan had just told him.

He can recruit those Salvation Alliance members outside into the Salvation Secret Alliance, and in Ma En's opinion, it seems a bit like Shenxiao's hint, as if she is using Qin Lan and Shadow's mouths to guide him to the road ahead.

Shadow smiled:

"Enough, only you can handle this matter.

"You are outside the Federation's system, have enough ability, and our transaction also has basic guarantees. Other people don't want to trade with me, because they are afraid of being篡夺ed by me, but you don't have to worry about these at all.

"We have a devil's contract between us, which is the cornerstone of integrity.

"In short, you are the most guaranteed candidate I can find, so feel free to offer your price.

"I can afford it."

Ma En suddenly asked:

"Is this a secret conversation?"

If so, Shadow should come directly to him.

Shadow said with a smile:

"Your sister didn't hear what we were saying, and as far as I know, she should be one of the few people you can completely trust. By the way, I don't know if you have noticed, but there are actually some things monitoring her, of course I didn't let them see."

Ma En nodded expressionlessly:

"I know."

Although he didn't have any expression in this conversation, Shadow showed a surprised expression at this moment, as if he could perceive something through Ma En's calm face:

"You knew it long ago? Those things are very good at hiding themselves.

"This is a bit beyond my expectation. This was originally a meeting gift I prepared, but now it seems that I can't take it out."

Ma En said casually:

"Then count the meeting gift into the reward."

Shadow nodded:

"Good idea."

Ma En said:

"I need you to do me a favor."

Shadow asked:

"What?"

Ma En replied:

"I will tell you, we can sign the contract first.

"We can write in the contract that this request will not be particularly harmful to you."

Now he does have places where he can use Shadow's help, and there are two of them.

The closer one is the memory problem he encountered, and the second is the props that can be used to help Serri fight against the Moon God.

He originally wanted to risk proposing something useful for the former, but Ma En thought for a few seconds just now, and still felt that this was too dangerous, and he also thought of an effective way to deal with the former in that short moment.

He only needs to store his memories regularly and constantly check...

Then it is the second thing, but he can't describe in detail what he needs. Both of these things are like this. If he describes the effect he wants in detail, it may make Shadow aware of something.

So he has to find what he wants first.

But in fact, he would be willing to do this without paying, Ma En did not let Shadow notice this.

In Ma En's opinion, this may actually be the first step for him to rebuild the Salvation Secret Alliance. As long as he completes this matter, he can obtain new power by relying on Shenxiao's blood, and even move towards Tier 5.

Shadow actually paid for nothing.

At this moment, this sucker is thinking about Ma En's proposal:

"If this is the case, I have to carefully consider the wording on the contract, but considering our delicate relationship now, it is actually quite easy to achieve this matter."

Now he has no way to harm Ma En, and Ma En can't harm him at all.

Under such conditions, signing a contract will skip many troublesome steps, without setting those complicated conditions, as long as you give some broad but important definitions, and the devil he finds will have enough business skills.

Ma En asked:

"So what you want is to prevent them from being captured and used as Shenxiao's chips?"

Shadow nodded:

"That's right, but some of them may be more extreme guys, um, how should I put it...

"...don't like you very much."

Ma En said:

"Because I am one of the main reasons for the ceasefire?"

Shadow replied:

"You are an indispensable important factor, and they happen to have made the opposite decision from you, but you don't have to worry too much, their hostility towards you is definitely far lower than that of the Federation.

"After all, they are still members of the Salvation Alliance."

Ma En asked:

"Are these all your requirements?"

Shadow raised his eyebrows and said:

"But it's not easy to find them, and it's even more difficult to persuade them for you. You have to get them to accept the terms of the ceasefire. You have to know that they are lunatics who are willing to pay the price of their lives for this."

Ma En asked:

"Then can I understand it this way?

"You just want to prevent them from becoming the Federation's chips, no matter what way."

Shadow asked:

"For example..."

Ma En replied:

"For example, they will never appear."

Shadow narrowed his eyes, and slowly said after a few seconds:

"I didn't expect you to be such a person."

Ma En smiled at him:

"You paid."

"Besides, this is simpler."

The Shadow realized that the contract might not be as lenient as he had originally thought, but he no longer cared about that at all. If there were no constraints, he might have already slipped into Mann's mind.

Too bad.
