I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

The Federation prepared a total of five top-tier Level IV anomalous items for Ma En: Devil Slave, Bloodstained Broken Sword, Gularma Magic Armor, Siren's Tears, and the final Saintly Fiend Spear. He didn't need to prepare anything special for these, and they didn't require the Control Bureau's assistance to be effective. He just needed to spend a few days adapting to them.

This was also the reason the Federation chose these items. They could be used perfectly without any threshold or time investment. Ma En had seen several other items on the remaining list that were quite powerful and useful.

However, either they were too difficult to master in a short period, only suitable for geniuses in that field, or using these anomalous objects would bring him a heavy price. It wasn't worth Ma En carrying them for this battle.

But there were some other items that seemed usable, so while adapting to these few pieces of equipment, Ma En was also carefully selecting whether there were any items left that could help him win that battle.

The message in the Saintly Fiend Spear had already indicated what he had to do. Although making the Federation and Atlantis cooperate seemed to benefit the world, this situation was actually worse. The gods seemed to want to do something to Shenxiao during this duel.

And Shenxiao, or at least Shenxiao's abilities, had already foreseen this situation a few years ago.

In fact, Ma En sometimes wondered if Shenxiao's capture was within her expectations. But in theory, Shenxiao shouldn't have known about the prophecies in these spears, otherwise she would have found him to cooperate and save the world.

And based on his understanding of Shenxiao's power, this was likely a message formed "by itself" when the power of reality distortion was forging the weapon.

Since her power had already sensed the conspiracy of the "Twin Gods" in advance, he had to ensure the victory of this battle no matter what, especially since this matter was also related to the second power characteristic of Shenxiao's blood.

However, there were still some things about this matter that Ma En couldn't quite understand. Shenxiao mentioned in the spear's message that she would sink into the sea. Ma En wasn't sure how she would do this, but it wasn't something he needed to consider.

After all, to the "Power of Shenxiao," he might just be one of the many creatures affected by it. Shenxiao didn't actually give him any particularly arduous or lengthy tasks. Now he was more like helping her out while doing his own thing.

And for his casual help, Shenxiao provided quite generous rewards. In fact, even without this drop of Shenxiao's blood, and the mental enhancement armor she led him to find, he would be happy to help her out a few times, because it was beneficial to everyone.

However, Ma En felt that Shenxiao definitely wasn't treating these as rewards for him to do things. To her, it might be closer to providing help to "future allies." This was actually her way of guiding the world.

After all, he could be considered half a good person, and he could indeed influence the world to some extent. If she had a positive impact on him, then it probably wouldn't be a bad thing for saving the world.

Thinking of this, Ma En was also a little emotional. If anyone wanted to do good deeds to save the world, they were actually very lucky, because they all had the potential to receive positive feedback from Shenxiao.

And if he thought about it more unrealistically, if she could really achieve her goals someday, break free from the Federation's shackles, and achieve complete victory, then maybe they could live in a world where good people really get "good rewards."

Even thinking about this possibility made Ma En feel that what he was doing was really meaningful.

Just as he was thinking this and selecting other anomalous equipment from the Federation, there was a knock on the door.

No, not on the door.

"Who is it?" Ma En asked the outside in confusion.

"Your friend," a mature female voice sounded outside the door. "I think you and I should meet."

Ma En got up and walked to the door, then opened it with doubt.

The situation outside was, as he expected, unusual. The originally bright corridor seemed to be covered with a layer of gray filter, and he couldn't feel the presence or movement of any staff around, as if this was some kind of different space.

Standing at the doorway was a beautiful woman in her early thirties, but her fair skin looked well-maintained, and her expression and appearance exuded a certain "noble air." Obviously, she had a very privileged family background, so in fact, she didn't look significantly different from a young woman in her twenties.

Moreover, her overall makeup and clothing were obviously designed by professionals, indicating that she probably had a dedicated styling team. At the same time, this also showed that this woman paid great attention to her appearance.

And behind her, standing against the wall, was a young woman in black, who looked only twenty-three or four years old. The distorted space around was created by her. She looked like the beautiful woman's bodyguard or something.

"Who are you?" Ma En asked directly.

The beautiful woman smiled at him:

"My name is Tang Xueluan, following my mother's surname."

Seeing her suddenly stop, Ma En answered very honestly:

"Never heard of it."

Tang Xueluan still had a faint smile on her face:

"It's normal that you haven't heard of my name, but you must have heard of my good-for-nothing sister.

"Her name is Shu Yun, does that sound familiar?"

Ma En blinked innocently:

"I remember...

"Sorry, please accept my condolences."

Seeing Ma En being so polite, Tang Xueluan suddenly felt a little at a loss. She thought that this member of the Salvation Alliance would mock and ridicule her harshly, but he just expressed his condolences with a calm expression.

Then she immediately realized that the other party might not be as easy to fool as she had expected.

This Ma En was more sophisticated than she had imagined. She originally thought that these members of the Salvation Alliance were just reckless men with brains full of paste, lacking the excellent ability to assess the situation, which made her a little unsure how to start the next conversation...

"You came here to?" Ma En asked her curiously.

He really wanted to know what Tang Xueluan was here for. It couldn't be to avenge her sister, right?

Tang Xueluan then continued Ma En's words and said:

"Of course not, I just didn't expect you to be so calm about her death. I thought you Salvation Alliance members would particularly hate this woman who killed several of your companions."

Ma En shrugged:

"I don't hold grudges against the dead, and now you are standing right in front of me."

Tang Xueluan showed some appreciation and tried to regain control:

"That sounds like something you guys would say, as expected of a follower of Shenxiao.

"But actually, I didn't have that good of a relationship with her, so you don't have to be particularly cautious when talking to me.

"I advised her a long time ago not to compete with someone like Shenxiao. We could all see who would be thrown down in this contest of strength. She and Shenxiao were not on the same level at all."

As she spoke, Tang Xueluan's expression still became a little lost, seemingly not as indifferent to her dead sister as she claimed:

"We just didn't expect her to fall so badly. We should have stopped her when she insisted on getting involved in this matter. No one thought she would be killed even when facing the imprisoned Shenxiao.

"But we also couldn't have imagined that the Salvation Alliance could still carry out such a powerful retaliation. Even the East Federation Security Company failed to save Shu Yun in front of them."

Hearing this, Ma En asked curiously:

"Was this done by the Salvation Alliance?"

Looking at the man's innocent expression, Tang Xueluan couldn't tell if it was feigned.

But she did want to trick Ma En to see if this Salvation Alliance member would reveal anything. Unfortunately, no matter whether Ma En knew the inside story or not, she obviously hadn't bluffed him, so she could only continue to explain.

The woman said with certainty:

"We all think it must be the Salvation Alliance. At that point, only your companions resented her. Although we don't have any actual evidence of that assassination, your companions had a failed assassination attempt once. No one is more suspicious than them."

Ma En shrugged indifferently:

"I heard she was quite annoying. There should be many people who resent her. This kind of good deed might not have been done by my companions."

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly:

"Good deed?"

Ma En kindly reminded:

"After all, I was once a former Salvation Alliance member with ideals. To be honest, I really hope my compatriots killed her. And you just said I don't have to care about your feelings, and I believe you whether you're serious or not.

"Or would you mind? If you care, I can change my attitude."

Tang Xueluan looked at his innocent expression and could already confirm that this guy was indeed pretending. She could only suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart and waved her hand at Ma En with a gentle expression:

"No, of course you don't have to care. I was just a little caught off guard, after all, she was still my sister.

"You can understand, right?"

Ma En nodded repeatedly:

"Of course, we all have our own positions, but now this matter is over, right.

"What do you want to say to me here?"

He didn't intend to continue to entangle with her in the topic of "who killed Shu Yun." If he accidentally let the other party catch any clues, the situation would be terrible. Without the protection of the contract, he was just a soft persimmon that the Federation could easily squeeze.

Tang Xueluan also felt that she couldn't make any breakthroughs with Ma En on this matter, so she could only switch to the topic and said:

"I do have some things I want to talk to you about, and it's also related to Shu Yun."

Ma En once again showed a hint of curiosity:

"So what do you want?"

Tang Xueluan said seriously:

"I'm not a member of the Federation, I want to declare this in advance. Although my whole family basically chose to enter politics, I was actually not interested in these things when I was a child, so I embarked on the path of business very early. I'm not here to find you of my own will.

"I'm here to find you on behalf of my parents and my deceased sister. Of course, I'm not here to talk about the Salvation Alliance or anything. You can temporarily pretend that I didn't say what I just said about my doubts about the Salvation Alliance. What we have opinions on now is mainly Shadow.

"He had some conflicts before my sister died. We have a lot of opinions about him now."

"And he wants to win you over and meet with the Reformists. This has some small conflicts with my parents' interests, so after careful consideration, they want me to say a few words to you as a messenger and provide you with another choice."

Ma En asked:

"You want to give me a choice?"

He remembered that when he asked for rewards in advance, the reason Shadow used when refusing was that he was being watched by her mother, and he said that Shu Yun's mother might also be a little hostile to him as a member of the Salvation Alliance.

In other words, in Shadow's mouth, they should be considered his "enemies."

Tang Xueluan nodded:

"That's right, we heard about your request to Shadow. He refused to let you get those things in advance, right?

"We can meet your request. As long as you speak, we can guarantee that this matter will proceed smoothly. My parents can do this kind of thing within the Federation system thousands of times better than Shadow, and we can also choose a few more rewards as a reward for your agreement."

Facing Tang Xueluan's confident eyes, Ma En directly asked:

"Then what do you want?"

Tang Xueluan said:

"They want to win you over, and my parents also want to win you over. They think this is a good decision, because this can send out a friendly signal to the Salvation Alliance. We want to make up for the mistakes Shu Yun once made."

In fact, Ma En had already realized what they were saying was for.

There was a very important reason why Shu Yun's actions were supported, that was because the Federation politicians at that time were worried that Shenxiao and the Federation would reach relatively lenient conditions, and then retaliate against them in the future, so they wanted to add a few heavy shackles to her.

But now they are starting to worry that Shenxiao will retaliate against them. Shu Yun's approach has been positively defeated. Shenxiao is likely not to wear shackles as they expected, so they want to clear their relationship with this matter.

It is likely that they have actually done something before this, so they care so much about it, and cooperating with Ma En can perfectly prevent Shenxiao's revenge, after all, he is one of the more important members among Shenxiao's followers.

If viewed in this way, their request seems quite reasonable.

Ma En asked:

"So this is all you want."

Tang Xueluan said:

"There's also a very small thing..."

Ma En asked:

"What?"

She continued:

"Shadow told you not to kill your opponent. We also have a similar view on this, except for one situation, that is, when you can reverse the victory by killing her, we hope that you can be cruel at that time.

"We will provide..."

Very good, now he already knew their purpose.

"Sorry," Ma En shrugged calmly, "The rewards you pay are not that valuable."

Then, without waiting for her to say anything, Ma En turned around directly and slammed the door heavily in front of her.

Seeing this scene, Tang Xueluan stood there for more than ten seconds, then turned around and said to the air beside her:

"I told you it wouldn't be that simple, Mom."

A middle-aged woman with a long face slowly appeared in front of her:

He will make the right choice.
