I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 353 351. Savior Project (Seeking Follow-up Reads~)

East Federation, a waiting room inside a newly operational Federation building.

Not long after Atlantis sank, Tang Xueluan proactively sent a message asking if he was available, wanting to move their original plan forward and have him come to the still-in-early-stages Paranormal Consultant Department to discuss joining.

And Ma En naturally came here without hesitation.

"You're finally here." Tang Xueluan's excited voice came from outside the door, and then she pushed the door open and walked in, her eyes shining as she looked at Ma En, who was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone. "You definitely won't guess why I called you here."

Ma En nodded:

"I remember you saying that this matter would take a few days to arrange, that there would be some resistance to placing me here, and that you would need to spend some time making sure that you didn't leave any opportunities for others to make trouble for us. Did you solve the problem ahead of schedule?"

Tang Xueluan shook her head gently:

"No, after all, you and I are both parachuting in. Normally, it's impossible to get it done in a few days. We have to smooth things over with the higher-ups and lower-downs, and we also have to eliminate the possibility of others having negative guesses about us as much as possible. This time was originally necessary, and we didn't need to leave loopholes just to join this organization a few days earlier."

"But the situation is very unusual now. Now you can join the Consultant Department directly without caring about any external opinions, and you can also get a high position as we originally planned, because a job that is particularly suitable for you has recently appeared."

"This opportunity is so good that I feel like I'm dreaming. The Shu family doesn't need to actively suggest that you join. The Federation took the initiative to come to us before we even opened our mouths and asked me for your opinion."

Ma En looked curious:

"So what exactly is the job you're talking about?"

Tang Xueluan said:

"It's related to what I originally said, but you have to sign this confidentiality agreement first. Don't worry, this is just a necessary procedure before joining this job, not a formal binding document."

After she finished speaking, she took out a document and handed it to Ma En, not worried that he would refuse.

Ma En took it and looked at it a few times. The agreement mainly required him to keep secrets, and the conditions were actually very lenient, limited to information he only knew through the Federation. If he later learned this information from other sources, he would not be restricted by the agreement.

It seemed that the Federation was afraid that the members of the Consultant Department would not sign, which was also reasonable. After all, the members of this organization were not directly under the Federation like the Investigation Department, and truly strict confidentiality work would probably not be given to the members of the Consultant Department. The Federation's purpose in establishing this institution was not to rely on them to complete any secret operations, but to improve their image in the hearts of free ability users.

If these types of agreements were too harsh, the ability users who heard about this situation would not consider joining the Federation at all, and their real plan would be completely in vain from the beginning, so the confidentiality agreements that the Federation gave them were destined to be relatively lenient.

He signed his name casually:

"Can you tell me what I'm going to do now?"

Tang Xueluan nodded:

"Of course, I also said that what you are going to do is related to Shenxiao, and this job is naturally the same. The Federation is preparing to temporarily establish a special team within the Consultant Department to deal with the terrifying disaster that just descended a few days ago."

"Atlantis is gone."

Ma En blinked and asked, somewhat uncomprehendingly:

"What?"

His expression was quite natural, but in reality, he wasn't so calm in his heart. Although he had personally witnessed the sea race emerge from the ground, sweeping and destroying the underwater city like locusts, it was only at this moment that he could be sure that Atlantis was truly destroyed.

Tang Xueluan began to explain:

"You know that Atlantis wanted to join forces with me to fight against the terrifying sea race in order to fight the Federation, but we didn't agree. Of course, this doesn't mean that our decision led to the current situation. In fact, the members of the Abnormal Research Institute have calculated this matter."

"According to the current situation, it would take at least five hundred years for those sea races to destroy Atlantis. This problem could have been delayed until then to solve, and since Atlantis has collapsed, I can say some things."

"In fact, the Federation originally planned to provide them with assistance. The purpose of our victory is not to push ourselves to the end, but to completely control the initiative to negotiate and cooperate with them, and also to give them a warning."

"But in fact, we also want to fight against the sea race together with them, because those things are really likely to destroy the world."

However, Tang Xueluan didn't tell Ma En that the Federation's main purpose in doing so was to be able to abandon Atlantis at any time. In the dozens of planned plans for them to deal with the sea race, there were a few that required the destruction of this city as the price.

And after achieving victory, if they really planned to use these plans in the future, they wouldn't have to worry about Atlantis breaking the net with them, and they might even foolishly regard the Federation as a benefactor on the eve of their destruction.

Ma En asked with a surprised expression:

"So you mean that the sea races destroyed Atlantis, but didn't you say that they are not a threat for the time being?"

Tang Xueluan nodded:

"This matter was beyond our and Atlantis' expectations, and according to our calculations, even if the sea race evolved normally at the fastest speed, it would take several years to destroy Atlantis, and this is theoretically the fastest, and the real situation is that even if they are affected by something and start to strengthen faster, it is impossible to usher in such an end in a few decades."

"And this is still within the Federation's acceptable range, but the current situation is completely different. According to the information we have now, Atlantis seems to have been destroyed in a crushing manner."

"The level shown by the sea race is far more than just being able to destroy them. They have completely overwhelming power. Do you know what this means?"

"According to Zhao Lao's calculations, the current civilized society will usher in complete destruction in thirty-seven years. Even if the whole world can maintain a high degree of trust and cooperation now, it can only postpone this doomsday to one hundred and twenty-four years later."

"Although the sea race that destroyed Atlantis is not very powerful now, it has an impossible growth rate. Any measures taken against them will be transformed into nourishment for these things, accelerating the time for the ancient god behind them to wake up."

"The most difficult step for them to grow is the step from zero to one, and now they have crossed it, and it is only a matter of time for these things to grow to the point where they can destroy our world, and other forces are unlikely to sincerely cooperate with us, that is to say..."

"We are finished."

Ma En stared at her and said:

"But you don't seem very worried."

Tang Xueluan shrugged:

"In theory, human civilization is destined to be destroyed, but the actual situation always exceeds expectations. Although the sea race and the ancient creatures that created them are not something we can contend with and stop, fortunately we have a small trump card."

"We have Shenxiao."

If the world is really going to usher in doomsday, the Sun God wouldn't dare to do this.

Ma En raised his eyebrows:

"You want her to take action?"

Tang Xueluan replied:

"It's not that we want to, but someone wants to. To be precise, it should be the Sun God who wants to do this. We don't know how he caused this influence, but the change in the sea race must be related to him, and there must be a conspiracy against us and Shenxiao hidden in it."

"In fact, the Federation has been discussing this matter intensely these days. There are many views that do not support us doing this. There are countless different opinions colliding within the Great Assembly, but in the end, all their ideas are meaningless."

"The above has decided that we can only do this. No matter what hidden dangers and dangers there are, no matter what this conspiracy is, we finally decided to let Shenxiao go to deal with this problem."

"Because we have no choice."

Ma En said:

"So the Sun God created an event that might trigger the end of the world, and his purpose is to deal with Shenxiao and you."

Tang Xueluan nodded:

"Or he wants to destroy our cooperation with Shenxiao. He directly and recklessly opened a Pandora's box that he couldn't close, forcing us to send Shenxiao in the most extreme way, because we can't afford to lose in the face of this disaster, but he doesn't need to worry."

"He can definitely survive in this type of doomsday. This time we really fell in front of him."

Ma En said:

"What an insidious god."

This was a price that was difficult for both of them to bear, but the Sun God could ultimately survive, so the Federation couldn't slowly exhaust others with their powerful background as they usually did.

In fact, the earliest time Ma En saw this situation was one of the many plans that the Federation used to deal with Shenxiao. At that time, they set up measures to destroy part of the world if Shenxiao won. Although the situation was more complicated at that time, it was more about using Shenxiao's ability to directly predict the results of her actions and the characteristics that her power came from saving the world.

But the reason why this plan was ultimately effective was also because the Federation could afford to lose, but now the Sun God has done the same thing to them through Atlantis, the only difference being that this time the Federation is no longer the one threatening others.

"So in fact, the Federation is not entirely the kind of bad guy you think it is." Tang Xueluan said, "Although I also know that we are not particularly good things, what else can we do when facing these ancient creatures that are even more insidious than us?"

"Sometimes we just make the best decisions. We don't have as many choices as you think. There are dangerous abnormal entities everywhere in this world that can end human civilization and rule. Any decision of the Federation is actually like walking on thin ice."

Ma En didn't comment on this:

"So the job the Federation wants me to handle now is to let Shenxiao leave prison and go to Atlantis?"

"That doesn't sound very difficult."

Tang Xueluan nodded:

"That's right, if our purpose is only this, then as long as we lift her imprisonment, she will go to the bottom of the sea to fight against those sea races and stop the coming end of the world. Only she can do this."

"But if this is the case, then there will be no opportunity for you and me."

"The Federation can't really give Shenxiao freedom. The Sun God's plan can succeed because the Federation can't accept the final result, but Shenxiao is actually even more difficult to accept than us. She will also be restricted by her own power."

"So what we want to do is to let Shenxiao carry out this work under our control and restraint. We will not give Shenxiao any possibility to break free from the shackles, and to achieve this goal, we need her to agree to many harsh conditions and wear the restraining device that we have invested countless time and resources to manufacture for her."

"It is precisely because of this that although this matter is definitely a bad thing for us overall, there are also some small benefits. We will definitely be able to let Shenxiao wear those devices in the end, and this can also provide us with some data support."

Ma En pondered and said:

"But I don't think she will be very willing to accept these conditions."

Tang Xueluan nodded:

"You're right, and Shenxiao does have the capital to negotiate with us. Although we can all be sure that she will definitely accept our request to stop the end of the world in the end, there is no doubt about this, but the key lies in the conditions."

"She will definitely hope that at least her situation will not be worse after she has completed this mission, and it is impossible to sign a treaty that will really cause her to be manipulated by us. The Federation does not really expect to completely control Shenxiao in a short period of time. This is not realistic."

"She is a very wise strong person who can hold her breath and negotiate with us."

"So the final conditions will definitely be acceptable to both of us, but there will still be some small space in it."

Ma En said:

"That's why you came to me."

Tang Xueluan nodded:

"The Consultant Department has temporarily formed a negotiation team specifically for this matter. We must strive for enough benefits for the Federation as much as possible. If you can gain Shenxiao's trust with your unique identity and strive for some good conditions for us..."

"I think the Federation will not be stingy with a Tier V anti-mind metal. Compared with Shenxiao, this thing is nothing at all."

"So, what do you think is suitable?"

Ma En thought for a few seconds and then asked:

"Aren't you worried that as a former member of the Savior Alliance, I will do things that are different from your interests?"

Tang Xueluan said with a smile:

"Of course, they won't give you a chance. You also have to sign a new treaty. The only options in front of you and me are to help us, or be excluded from this plan. Of course, it is precisely because of this that you are very valuable."

"In fact, there are also some Savior Alliance members within the Federation who have betrayed the immortals, and there are also her former trusted subordinates, but they have all completely stood on the opposite side of her, but you are different. You just have no choice."

"You are our soft knife."
