I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 297 295. "Strong Alliance" (4k)

After hearing Ma En's question, Shadow immediately showed a surprised expression. Although the expression between his brows changed very naturally, Ma En still vaguely felt that this expression was specially prepared by him, and then Shadow said His words also seemed to confirm his thoughts.

Shadow said with a look that wanted to make Marne understand:

"Join the Federation? No, no, no, you misunderstood, I just said that we just want to provide you with asylum.

"There is no hint hidden in this sentence. I said that even if we do it, of course you may have a small cooperation with us, but I promise that there is no contract, no conspiracy against you, and we will not ask you to do anything , you are not a member of us.

"We just want to make you look like a member of us, which is also the way we provide asylum, as long as they feel that you belong to our federation now, they can't assassinate you casually.

"I can swear to you that there is no conspiracy in this, and this proposal is not specially made for you. The Federation will find everyone who is in a similar situation as i and make this small proposal.

"I know this sounds absurd, and you must wonder why we did this? Is there a cunning conspiracy against you hidden here? But you know that we can't do anything to you under the contract.

"And I can tell you the answer, our purpose is very simple.

"That is to ensure the continuation of the future of human domination of the world."

When Shadow said this, he was very serious, and it didn't look like he was joking or sarcastic at all.

Ma En deliberately showed a suspicious look:
"This sounds completely inconsistent with what I saw. Do you want to guarantee the continuation of mankind?"

Shadow smiled, and took Ma En's words and said:

"No, not humanity itself, but guaranteeing the continuation of our dominion.

"Do you know how many races there are in this world, and how many of them can threaten our status today? Do you know what the thing that ruled the species before us was called?

"We didn't own the world just after we were born. This dangerous and dangerous planet was won by us with great difficulty. In today's world, there are countless races that are eyeing our position. It is not easy to maintain our current situation.

"So that's why we've given you shelter, where we and you may be enemies, but we're always on the same side when it comes to dangerous creatures that might threaten our dominion.

"And now there is no conflict between you and us, which means that for the Federation, you are no longer a member of the Salvation Alliance. Now you are just a human being—a citizen of the Federation."

There should be a lot of truth in Shadow's words, and this motivation sounds like it is true. For the Federation, such an approach is indeed profitable, and it will also help maintain their rule, but Marne has never sent the Federation As an evil demon king, it already means something for the Federation to rule the world today.

However, he still doesn't feel that the real purpose of the shadow is what he said now. What is mentioned in this passage may be true, but it is probably only one of the reasons for the shadow to say this, and it is probably not the most important one.

Telling the truth, but not telling it all is a good way to lie.

So he thought for a while and said:

"Really? Why do you sound like you want to boil a frog in warm water? If I really accept your asylum, what will the other members of the Salvation Alliance think of me? Will they regard me as a traitor? I Why do I always feel...

"Are you trying to kill me with a soft knife?"

Ma En raised this question not to let Shadow answer, and he didn't feel that he had seen through the other party's purpose. If it was so easy to guess Shadow, he would not have said this sentence, but he still asked this question.

The point is not the content of the question, but the question itself and the possible flaws it may lead to.

Shadow said calmly:
"From your point of view, maybe we are evil, but we are in the same camp as you in this matter. Of course, it is indeed beneficial for us to do so. We are not gods, but this The main beneficiary of this matter is the whole human race, not any specific ability user.

"But is it any good for the Federation to continue plotting against you now? You have also seen the content of the contract. We can't do anything to you unless you violate the contract first, and we won't do anything to you.

"Although we are not friends, we are no longer enemies. The Federation is not a lunatic. Although it may be difficult for you to accept, we are the greatest guardians of mankind. Otherwise, why do you think we, those with fifth-level abilities, should join the Federation?

"We stand taller than you, so naturally we can see far.

"Do you think you are nothing in front of the continuation of this kind of human dominance? Do we really care about you, a little follower of the gods? Now you are even insignificant in the possibility of being promoted to Tier V."

Marne nodded, but still did not retreat:
"I believe what you said, but my experience tells me that I can't trust you. Shen Xiao has done this before, and we all know what she got because of it."

Shadow shook his head:

"It's Shen Xiao again, her existence has blinded your eyes, in fact, I know this is the reason why you are still hesitating, it seems that when we compare with her, we become the villains in some fairy tales.

"But do you know? In fact, the Federation can kill the young Shen Xiao, or put a heavy shackle on her when she has not completed growing up, and turn her into a less powerful but powerful girl at the cost of her final upper limit. More controllable weapons?

"But we didn't, even though it was safer for us because it was a necessary risk.

"If our purpose is to maintain the dominant position of a few people, we will naturally do so. If we are really as selfish and evil as you imagine, we will really do this, but we are not. There has only been one Federation since its birth. Purpose.

"Guarantee the eternal existence of the human empire."

His eyes became a little deeper:
"And do you really think that we don't want to stand in the same camp as Shen Xiao? Do you think you really understand that person who is like a god? Do you know how reassuring it is for those of us who have the fifth-level ability to fight side by side with her? ?

"Can you understand the fear of us Level [-] ability users? Do you think we don't want to save mankind?
"But we still have to imprison her, because she is too arrogant and arrogant, do you know that she has tried to help many races other than humans, and doing so will only waste her precious divine power, as she said the world The end is coming.

"You may think that we teamed up with other races to deal with Shen Xiao is self-defeating, but let me tell you, they were actually the ones who were digging their own graves at that time. The Federation knows Shen Xiao better than them, so it can use this to obtain their trust.

"Because none of them would believe that what Shen Xiao wants is to save the whole world.

"I mean all innocent intelligent beings.

"But the price is the benefit of our human beings, and may not even be able to save our compatriots. She is the traitor among us, and you'd better not really treat her as a living saint. In my eyes, she is just addicted to acting. Mortals of the gods."

The living room fell into a brief silence.

Shadow's words are very convincing. Under his narration, some actions of the Federation seem to be considered justifiable. Under the exaggeration of strong racial sentiments, it seems that the ideals spoken by the Federation have become particularly noble.

But it is not enough to make Ma En forget what they did in reality, their evil deeds to civilians, abuse of power, and the fact that they can massacre innocent ability users like Ma En for their own purposes. God can "abandon" the entire Confederation.

Yes, what Shadow said seemed to have his own reasons, but the cold reality made his words sound particularly ironic to Mann, because although he kept saying that the purpose of the Federation was for human beings, they were the ones who did evil to their compatriots. square.

And Shen Xiao, who really defended the interests of mankind, became a so-called traitor in their mouths.

Thinking about it carefully, what the shadow said seems to be blaming Shen Xiao for not doing well enough, but in fact, if you really look deeper, the current rulers of the Federation have not restrained themselves as they demanded of Shen Xiao.

They can completely give up their own interests to benefit human society, but obviously they did not do so.

They are asking Shen Xiao to become a saint of human beings, and at the same time restrain themselves with the lowest bottom line. It seems that as long as they barely guarantee that human beings can continue to rule the world as a whole, they can commit all kinds of evil deeds unscrupulously on this ground.

And in Mann, it is hard to believe that their motivation for doing this is for human beings, because maintaining human rule is of great benefit to these federal politicians. In this case, the facts are often only out of selfishness.

So Ma En showed a hesitant look, and then said:

"These words sound plausible."

This is enough. If what Shadow said is true, then accepting the Federation's asylum is actually his best choice, so he plans to verbally agree to it. After leaving here, he will start to verify. At this time, he wants to It is not difficult for him to figure out this matter now.

As for such potential disadvantages, in fact, Ma En didn't care as much as he claimed, and other people's opinions of him were completely unimportant, and if any Salvation Alliance began to doubt other motives and positions, he could show them to the Salvation Alliance at any time Camarilla.

This is enough to dispel any doubts, those members of the Salvation Alliance that he needs to be trusted can be persuaded by this, and the views of other not particularly important ability users are meaningless, and in fact most members of the Salvation Alliance probably don't think about it.

Most of them are still very simple and kind, so they are more likely to feel that Mann did this for some noble purpose.

And agreeing to this matter is indeed not harmful to him in any way, and in fact, Ma En also has his own ideas about Shen Xiao.

But unlike Shadow and Federation, Marne still trusts Shen Xiao quite a lot.

If he had to choose a station in the camp of Shenxiao or the Federation now, without any chance to repent, and would not provide other information, then Ma En would firmly choose Shenxiao without even thinking about it.

But he was still a little worried about Shen Xiao.

He was well aware that this feeling was irrational.

If he is really worried about the potential danger of Shen Xiao, then he should be worried about every good person he meets. It is completely unreasonable to show doubts before there is no evidence, but it is still difficult for Ma En not to think about Shen Xiao possibility of loss of control.

Because she is too strong.

And the cooperation with the Federation is very helpful for him to understand Shen Xiao, not to mention that although the Federation itself does not seem to be that dangerous, you must know that they have defeated the seemingly invincible Shen Xiao, so if he is based in this world, the Federation and Shen Xiao They are all roles that he can't get around.

"That's why I found you." Shadow smiled, "Not others, there are actually people with your status in the disbanded Salvation Alliance, but I didn't look for him because he is not as smart as you .”

This sentence can also be translated as "his bones are harder than yours".

Mann said indifferently:

"I can accept your asylum, but you don't want me to do anything for you, and I will make sure that other former members of the Salvation Alliance know what I am doing."

Shadow asked:

"Of course, this is your right, how about this...

"You can serve as a special consultant in the federation and be responsible for the disbanded Salvation Alliance. You can convey some messages to the Salvation Alliance on behalf of the Federation, and at the same time communicate with us on behalf of the Salvation Alliance. You can be our bridge.

"In this way, from their point of view, you are also standing up for the Salvation Alliance, and they really need a new leader. I'm not saying that I want you to regroup them, but you know that the Salvation Alliance has offended other organizations before.

"With you and us, we can avoid any retaliation."

Ma En felt that Shadow could have heard that he wanted to pull a loose mutual aid organization.

"Okay." He nodded slightly, "As you said, it doesn't do me any harm."

Shadow smiled and nodded:

"Then we'll get in touch later, by the way..."

He suddenly paused, and then his eyes became extremely sharp:
"Have you heard?"

Mann asked:

"What did you hear?"

Shadow smiled and waved his hand:

"It's not a big deal, but that Shu Yun who was in charge of dealing with you was assassinated some time ago, and the murderer was quite dangerous. He killed many employees of the Eastern Federal Security Company. That scene can be said to be full of corpses."

Marne raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"Die well."

Shadow smiled:
"That's right, but now the investigation of this matter is handed over to us, and you and the Salvation Alliance are also on this list, but your names are at the bottom of the list of suspects, and those guys have left no trace at all .

"I don't think I should be able to catch the murderer."

There isn't any evidence that Mann did it, and other members of the Salvation Alliance are more likely than he is, but he chooses to bring it up at this time because it seems completely impossible.

But he always felt that Mane could do such a thing.

But Marne just nodded as usual:

"It's also good news for us. If such a guy dies, we will have less trouble."

There are no flaws.

Shadow smiled and said:

"I think so too."
