Chapter 670 The Third Tooth

…………

7:30 AM, Federal Administration Department.

"What exactly is going on?" Shadow asked with slight dissatisfaction.

Even now, he still didn't understand what the Federation was thinking. The Mithril Alliance had already demonstrated sufficient strength, and the deal that Mann had proposed this time was quite reasonable. Dealing with the gods was also in their plans.

Logically speaking, the Federation should have agreed to this deal.

Moreover, in Shadow's own opinion, this could completely become an opportunity for the Federation to cooperate with the Mithril Alliance. The strategic significance of this matter was far more important than the gains and losses of the deal itself.

"Calm down, I was also surprised when I first heard about it," said Nie Chengyu, a young politician standing opposite him, "but after I knew what was going on, I could understand it."

A puzzled expression appeared on Shadow's face:

"So what's going on?"

Although this matter seemed like an ordinary transaction, and the Federation was also drafting new conditions, Shadow still had some unease in his heart, even though on the surface there seemed to be no problem at all.

Perhaps because he had enough contact with Mann, even if he couldn't think of any problems rationally, he could still vaguely sense that something was wrong with this whole matter.

Whether it was Mann's uncharacteristic urgency or the Federation's strange refusal.

Abnormal—that was his feeling.

Nie Chengyu quickly explained:

"You also know that the Federation's need for Mann is about the gods. Logically speaking, the Federation would be willing to pay a lot to trade in order to solve this problem, so there is only one possibility for their refusal.

"That is, there has been a change in the problem of the gods. I actually just heard about it, but as far as I know, a very mysterious guy found the Federation, and if my information is correct...

"Then he should be related to the Mithril Alliance being able to defeat the gods, and may even be the reason why Mann and the others are able to deal with the Sun God. Now he wants to bypass Mann and cooperate directly with us.

"If what he said is true, then he may determine whether Mann has the ability to deal with the gods. If he doesn't continue to provide Mann with weapons against the gods, then Mann will lose his advantage in this regard.

"This is the real reason why they dare not cooperate with Mann.

"And that mysterious visitor also made two special requests. The first is to keep it secret from Mann, and not to cooperate with Mann on the gods during this period."

After listening to Nie Chengyu's explanation, Shadow did not discuss the matter itself, he was more concerned about a certain detail.

"This is not within your scope of work, how did you find out about the whole thing earlier than me?"

Nie Chengyu scratched his head with a slightly embarrassed expression:

"I'm just a little curious, and aren't you asking now?"

Shadow shook his head slightly:

"Indeed, but I think this matter is not that simple."

Nie Chengyu didn't understand what he meant:

"What? Hasn't Mann already agreed to continue cooperating with us? Although the Federation seems to be hesitant for some reason, and doesn't want to finalize the deal with Mann immediately.

"But I think it's just a matter of time. You also know that the Federation is so slow when it starts operating."

Shadow frowned slightly:

"No, I always feel that something is wrong. Although it's just a feeling, I still suspect that something unexpected will happen to this transaction. Well, you inform the members of the Federation.

"Let them transfer the Reverse Mind Drug now, and store it separately, to prevent any accidents with the drug itself from causing the transaction to fail. At least we have the bargaining chip to trade with him at the end."

Nie Chengyu said in surprise:

"Is it necessary to be so formal?"

Shadow nodded:

"It's better to prevent problems before they happen. I have a feeling that if we don't treat this matter with care, then the mistakes we make today will slowly develop into a rift between us and the Mithril Alliance, eventually leading to consequences that we will regret.

"Anyway, transferring things doesn't cost much resources."

Nie Chengyu nodded:

"Okay, anyway, it's also for the smooth transaction with the Mithril Alliance, I'll tell them."

Shadow nodded:

"As soon as possible."

8:00 AM, Federal Mind Department.

A young man wearing a white shirt and black-rimmed glasses walked into the office.

The man leisurely made himself a cup of coffee, then turned on the computer, casually clicked on the Federation's internal forum for leisure, and started a day that should have been uneventful.

However, before he could take a few glances, a message popped up in the lower right corner of the screen.

[Latest Federal Internal Mind Defense Program Test Version (White Dove Project 0.65) Trial Operation Application]

The man sighed, then clicked on this application with millions of words.

A blue light burst out from his glasses.

"嗝."

The man touched his stomach, then he slightly raised his wrist and clicked the mouse...

Passed.

…………

9:00 AM, Federal Secret Protection Villa Area.

Ding dong.

Shadow rang the doorbell.

After ending the conversation with Nie Chengyu, the unease in his heart did not lessen, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of any real key points. In his opinion, Mann had a characteristic.

That is, he is extremely unpredictable. This is not to say that there is some kind of chaos in Mann.

On the contrary, the characteristic that makes him unpredictable stems from the rationality deeply buried in his body. Usually, the more rational a guy is, the easier he is to predict. This is also what he thought when he first became a telepath.

But soon, he realized that this judgment was actually not accurate.

For most people, this is indeed the case, but if it is for those slightly smarter guys, then rational people are often more elusive, because most smart and chaotic guys have some kind of deeply hidden underlying rules in their behavioral logic.

You must know that chaos is not the norm for human beings. All unstable personalities have simple and clear motivations, and it is these motivations that give them the change from rationality to chaos.

That is to say, as long as you find their original motivation, these seemingly chaotic guys are actually easy to predict.

But rational people are different, especially the coldest one like Mann. He is also very good at various detailed strategies in pure tactics. Shadow suspects that if Mann wants to make himself unpredictable, he may even use throwing dice to decide his actions to prevent the Federation from understanding his behavior patterns.

So if he wants to understand the motivation behind Mann's abnormal behavior, he must get help from the outside world.

Click.

The one who opened the door was a woman who didn't look very happy.

"I have some things about Mann that I want to consult with you," Shadow said bluntly.

Nearly ten seconds of silence.

"Come in," Tang Xueluan said, looking at him coldly.
