I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Qin Lan raised her hand and pushed open the wooden door of the bedroom.

The scene behind the door at first glance looked almost like a gorgeous banquet hall from the Middle Ages, but upon closer inspection, one could see traces of modernity, this banquet hall was just a beautiful fantasy of the lives of ancient nobles.

And Hong Yuan was standing next to the head seat.

Although his chair was no different from the others, his position indicated his importance in this meeting, moreover, he had arranged this place, and that meant something.

Most of the ability users present did not notice or care about this, only a few ability users had a subtle feeling about it, but did not think deeply about it, which actually seemed like a normal behavior.

After all, he had arranged this place.

However, Ma En, who followed Qin Lan in, did not think so simply, this Hong Yuan was likely lying in Shenxiao's prophecy, combined with his "unconscious" behavior of placing himself in the main seat without realizing it, it was hard not to associate it with something.

The moment Qin Lan pushed the door open and walked in, Hong Yuan looked over, then glanced at the three people following behind her, and finally looked back at Qin Lan and nodded slightly to her, then turned to say a few words to the two people standing next to him.

Then everyone standing in front of the banquet table looked at her.

Expectation, surprise, doubt, curiosity, suspicion, joy, all kinds of complex emotions were cast towards Qin Lan with their gazes, then Hong Yuan and the old woman and middle-aged man, Nason, standing beside him walked towards her.

Although the other Salvation Alliance members did not come over, they still kept her within their sight.

Qin Lan excitedly shouted to the old woman following behind Hong Yuan:

"Grandma Li!"

"Xiao Lan." The old woman quickly walked up to her, looking Qin Lan up and down with a face full of worry and surprise, "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay..."

Qin Lan turned to the three people following behind her and said:

"This is Grandma Li, a friend of my grandfather, she often came to play with me and my sister when we were little."

Grandma Li followed her gaze and looked at the few people, finally her gaze stopped on Ma En:

"Thank you for taking care of Xiao Lan during this time."

After saying this, she looked back at Qin Lan and said:

"What do you think about this matter of ours?"

Hong Yuan and another middle-aged man standing beside her also perked up.

Qin Lan nodded slightly to her:

"I do have something to say, this matter concerns our colleagues in the entire Federation, we can't come to a conclusion so easily."

Nason cleared his throat and said:

"Hong Yuan said he received your sister's prophecy, but I'm still a little worried that it's a trap set by the Federation, after all..."

"They have already proven that they have a way to deceive Shenxiao."

Hong Yuan smiled and looked at the serious-looking middle-aged man:

"But the Federation's goal is to get us to sign an agreement with them, if I hadn't received the prophecy, they would have likely already gotten us to agree to disband the Salvation Alliance.

"Isn't that right?"

Nason said:

"Maybe this is a conspiracy by other forces, maybe the Federation wants this outcome, they now have a prophecy machine, if you pay attention, you will realize that Shenxiao's behavior is sometimes not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Qin Lan was a little surprised by his observation skills.

What Nason said was true, but not everyone could perceive this.

Because although Shenxiao's best actions might be meaningful, after the age of ten she would use expressions that ordinary people could understand to conceal her true intentions, simplifying all kinds of complexities in the eyes of others.

And the current situation was also obvious, even with the existence of the prophecy, Nason was still inclined to want to cease the war with the Federation, and he was expressing his attitude to Qin Lan here, wanting to win her over to accept his ideas.

Li Xiuyu, who had firmly stood on the same side as him, had become somewhat shaken after learning of the existence of the prophecy, while others who were already wavering had completely accepted Hong Yuan's views, only he was still standing in opposition to Hong Yuan.

He actually understood the old woman's change.

Nason had known her for several years, although some old people would show more desire for life in their later years, Li Xiuyu had long been open-minded about her destined death, she was not afraid of leaving this world.

Therefore, at that time, she followed the girl she had watched grow up to join the Salvation Alliance.

They had chatted in private, Nason knew that she did this to a large extent out of affection and kindness for the two girls, but in addition to that, she must have had her own selfish motives like other ordinary people.

She could accept her own death, but wanted to be remembered by the world, if she could choose her own way of dying, she would be willing to dedicate her life to ideals and beauty.

Because in a sense, that was also living.

If Hong Yuan could let her see the hope of victory at this meeting, this old woman would no longer consider the possibility of ceasing the war with the Federation.

But Nason did not think this was the right decision, just like what they said last time, this matter would concern the lives and deaths of all Salvation Alliance members in the Federation, if they made the wrong decision, many people would miss the chance to be saved.

Moreover, he already didn't want to continue fighting.

Nason still had children and family, but now they could only follow him and flee everywhere, and he didn't like or was good at fighting, he could clearly see that if he continued like this, he would only end up dead.

If his bottom line was lower, he could at least betray the Salvation Alliance.

But he couldn't do such a thing either.

Nason himself was the kind of person he mentioned at the meeting, he joined the Salvation Alliance just because he wanted to do some good deeds, but he hadn't considered losing his own life for it, and even his death couldn't let the Salvation Alliance see any chance of winning.

If he could persuade Qin Lan, he could rely on her relationship with Li Xiuyu to pull her back to his side, so that there would still be room for maneuver on this matter.

"The matter before us now is that ceasing the war is the Federation's goal." Hong Yuan argued with reason, "And Shenxiao's prophecy does not allow us to sign a cease-fire agreement with them, what do you think this represents, should we do as the Federation wishes?

"I understand your worries, but let's wait until you read Shenxiao's new prophecy before talking about this."

Saying that, he pointed to the long table:

"Let's sit down and talk."

The few people turned around and walked over, and the other Salvation Alliance members present also took their seats one after another, and they very tacitly left the seat opposite Hong Yuan for Qin Lan, while Ma En sat next to her.

After everyone was seated, Hong Yuan looked at them and said:

"There are a total of twenty-nine people here."

This was not a small number.

Because everyone present except Qin Lan was a Tier IV ability user.

This number of Tier IV ability users could already be considered a considerable and intimidating force.

Moreover, among the Salvation Alliance members present, only five had joined the Coordination Bureau in the past, most of the others did not belong to large organizations, if you count the personnel who had already been lost and those who had not arrived, this also meant that Shenxiao once controlled a considerable force independent of the Federation.

Nason then said:

"But in front of Tier V ability users, unless there is something that can transform quantity into quality, such as a ritual to summon demons, or an ancient wizard's magic circle, then no matter how many people there are, it's meaningless."

They could not play any decisive role in the battle between Shenxiao and the Federation, and neither could they in the current pursuit by the Federation.

Of course, they could avoid being caught, after all, the Federation's Tier IV ability users were not omnipotent, but in the end, it seemed that they had no chance of resisting, and being captured by the entire Federation seemed to be only a matter of time.

"I know you don't see any opportunities." Hong Yuan said to them, "The Investigation Department responsible for pursuing us is led by three Tier V ability users from the Federation, if we only count our surface combat power, we are destined to be defeated.

"But I want to tell you, our significance is far more than that.

"Even hundreds of Tier IV ability users cannot have a decisive impact in the confrontation with the Federation's Investigation Department, but only dozens of Tier IV Salvation Alliance members are enough.

"Because we are not only ourselves, but also the source of Shenxiao's power, I don't know how many of you present understand the meaning of the words reality warper, but I want to tell you that trapping Shenxiao is not a simple matter for the Federation.

"For them, it is fighting Shenxiao's reality, and our existence will strengthen Shenxiao's power, that is to say, if the Salvation Alliance is disbanded, then it will be easier for them to control Shenxiao than before.

"And this will lead to them gaining the upper hand in the confrontation with Shenxiao, which is the purpose of the Federation wanting me to disband."

A female from the Southern Federation said:

"Hong Yuan is right, whether or not we disband does concern Shenxiao's fate."

Nason said:

"The Federation has proven that Qin Luan has already agreed to this, and some of you should have heard her mention it, if the Shenxiao Walker does not agree, it is useless for us to disband the Salvation Alliance.

"And...

"Regardless of whether the Federation is fabricating it, I think you should all be clear about what kind of decision Shenxiao would make in this situation, if the Federation's price is the safety of the entire Salvation Alliance, then I think she would definitely agree.

"The Federation wants to cease the war because they don't want to drag it on, not because we can win."

Hong Yuan had long expected what he would say:

"Yes, Shenxiao has agreed to disband the Salvation Alliance, but you have to think carefully, she is now imprisoned in the Federation's anti-reality prison...

"She can no longer see the future!

"Now Shenxiao's decision may not be as absolutely correct as it was in the past."

These somewhat offensive words made everyone feel a little unhappy, but it was as if Hong Yuan's words had a kind of magic, no one expressed any opinion on this.

Because what he said was the truth, and...

His words did have "magic".

Hong Yuan took the opportunity to speak first before Nason could figure out how to refute him:

"Just like what I said when I asked you to come, Shenxiao actually has other prophecies.

"And there was a reason why I didn't tell you at the time, in fact, what you saw at the time was not the first prophecy, the words on the letter will constantly change as the previous prophecy is fulfilled."

He took out the envelope from his pocket and opened it, then looked down at the letter and read it out:

"You will execute the traitor at the banquet."

Hong Yuan raised his head, looking down at everyone with a serious and cold expression.

"No, impossible." A rebuttal immediately came from the banquet, "We have already reached this point, no one can betray Shenxiao, this is too absurd!"

Although whether this traitor exists is still a question, the others began to pay attention to Nason, who had been opposing Hong Yuan.

Moreover, many of the arguments he put forward were not so persuasive.

Noticing their gazes, Nason also felt a little flustered:

"No, it can't be me, you all know me..."

Although he knew that he had definitely not betrayed Qin Luan, he instinctively panicked when he heard such words.

Hong Yuan immediately followed his words and said:

"Don't worry, the prophecy only has this sentence, which means that any of us may have betrayed Shenxiao, I won't think you want to betray her just because you disagree with my ideas.

"Your motives are good."

He did not directly say that Nason was the traitor, although they probably would not think so, but that would still seem like he was using the prophecy to get rid of the guy who disagreed with him.

As for who the traitor is...

He had not decided yet.

It depended on how they made him feel next, in fact, he also had a few candidates in his mind, Nason was of course one of them, and although he himself would not propose this possibility, he suspected that others would push the flustered Nason to this position in suspicion.

Now they were all potential traitors.

The best way to clear his suspicion was to find the "traitor" first.

In the worst case, he also had a few candidates he could kill at will, killing them would not cause any lasting negative impact, but this choice was too safe.

In other words, it was boring.

And the most interesting thing was naturally to make them believe that Qin Lan was the traitor.

This was the most challenging of all situations, but think about it, Shenxiao's "prophecy" killed her sister...

How interesting was that.

Moreover, he was not completely without the possibility of taking action.

One of the three Salvation Alliance members who came with her had met him last time, and he had searched for this Ma En's information after that, in Hong Yuan's opinion, there were many things that could be made out of it.

He opened his mouth to prepare to guide everyone's emotions.

But at this moment, a calm female voice interrupted him:

"Wait a minute."

Everyone looked at Qin Lan, who had stood up.

"Hong Yuan, I believe what you said." Qin Lan looked at the man opposite her, "I also understand that you all believe in Shenxiao's prophecy, but I would like you to listen to me first."

"Of course." Hong Yuan looked at her expectantly.

The development of things seemed to be even more interesting than he had expected.
