299. The end is near
"Do you have any suggestions?" Shadow asked curiously.
The woman sitting opposite him looked at him calmly:
"If you let me out, I can tell you the answer."
The person who answered the question was none other than the Skywalker who could be imprisoned by them. At this time, there was more than one person sitting opposite her.
Zhao Guanwu, the old man who led the construction of this prison, was sitting casually on the back right side of the shadow, tilting his head and looking at the details of the room where the Skywalker lived, as if he was thinking about it.
Sitting behind him on the left is Li Hu, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face. He is now one of the two deputy ministers of the Investigation Department. Although he is nominally a subordinate of Shadow, he does not accept his management at all. Investigation
The two deputy ministers of the Ministry each manage completely independent systems.
Before the establishment of the Investigation Department, this Level V ability user was responsible for leading the "Third Hand", the secret agency of the Federation. If the Coordination Bureau led by Shenxiao was the blade of the Federation, then the Third Hand was the secret agency of the Federation.
dagger.
The third hand used to be mainly responsible for all kinds of really shady things, such as assassinations and infiltrations, as well as those dirty things that I created the Abnormality Control Bureau so that most people with abnormal abilities could know about it. The recent counter-infiltration of Atlantis was also
It was done by his intelligence operatives.
As the former leader of a secret agency, Li Hu has extremely high frontal combat capabilities and can carry out various important violent actions. He is responsible for solving those things that Shenxiao is unwilling to do. From the outside world, he is
The second person below Shenxiao,
But Li Hu himself knew that there were people in the Federation who were stronger than him, such as Zhao Guanwu, who seemed a little restless. Li Hu also realized the old man's ability after he planned and proposed the plan against Shenxiao.
How high.
And he is different from himself. The relationship between the old man and the Federation is closer to mutual benefit. They have no real constraints on him. Therefore, except for matters such as dealing with Shenxiao where the interests of both parties are highly overlapping, he rarely really communicates with the Federation.
What big things can we do together?
But even so, the benefits this old man has brought to the federation have been terrifyingly high. Although he no longer works in the federal research institute, nearly half of the truly significant achievements were made by Zhao Guanwu, and Zhao Guanwu
He also led the research on several devices that control Shenxiao.
So when faced with Shen Xiao's question, Li Hu didn't say anything. He just waited patiently for the old man to speak.
And after she answered for about ten seconds, he spoke reluctantly.
"No need to pretend. If what they say is true, the things under the sea must be related to the survival of all mankind. With your ability, it is impossible to ignore their existence. It is only possible that it was not a worry for you before.
"Tell us what the solution would do to you. We don't want to see the end of the world."
Shen Xiao shook his head:
"What you want is not a solution at all. I have made it very clear about the real solution. As long as you pay attention to the points I mentioned, and then cooperate with Atlantis, you can delay this threat for at least a few hundred years.
"But what you want is a solution to the problem without giving anything. You want me to tell you how to make Atlantis have to deal with those monsters on its own, so that you can reap the benefits.
"And I don't know the answer to that question."
Shadow said:
"The method you mentioned is impossible for the Federation to accept. The price is too high for us. How will we ensure the safety of the remaining humans in the future? Moreover, we very much suspect that you are saying this just to consume our resources.
"In this tug of war, whoever is exhausted first will lose."
Shen Xiao said with piercing eyes:
"You are right. Now you have let yourselves fall into the pull with me, and this will drag you into the abyss like a swamp. If this continues, you will only slowly move towards the doomsday future with me.
"Even I won't be able to save you by then."
"Don't pretend you don't know." The old man said, "You know very well that this is their purpose. When the world comes to the end, it will be the best opportunity to control you, and you don't need to say that you can watch human beings slowly
die.
"You do have far more courage than you appear on the surface. If you were an ordinary person, you might have compromised.
"But we know who you are playing games with."
"Ahem." Shadow cleared his throat, "In short, we will not provide you with any rewards or promises. You don't have to tell us any suggestions. We will regard it as you think our approach is effective. According to
The current plan goes ahead.
"If you remember anything, you can always tell us."
Shen Xiao gently raised his skin:
"I can tell you something.
"You can't win."
The old man was keenly aware of something strange:
"What can't be won?"
Shen Xiao sighed slightly:
"It's hard for me to tell if it's too late, I can't see everything completely, it's one of those things.
"Do you know how many percent of the planet that thing occupies? Can you understand what it is? Can you see the difference between it and us? Can you really understand how to stop its defense mechanism?
“Do you know what you could do wrong that could cause it to destroy the planet?
"No, you don't know anything, but you still like to dance on the edge of the cliff."
In fact, this passage has revealed a lot of useful information.
The old man said:
"If it was true as you said, you would have already started preparing to deal with her.
"And I know what you have done over the years, but you have never considered it an enemy."
Shen Xiao nodded:
"Because I can't win either,"
Shadow looked into her eyes and said in a sincere tone:
"You're right, we don't know anything.
"So we need your advice, the Federation needs your advice, and every human being who will die in the future needs your advice. I know this is an excessive request, but since you said it is dangerous, then only you
can deal with it.
"You have to stand up."
He didn't say it completely, but the result the Federation wanted to see most was for Shenxiao to take the initiative to accept the restraints. As long as she properly cooperated with her will to distort reality, they could perfectly put shackles and armor on her body.
From the Federation's perspective, refusing to cooperate with Atlantis is not only a good decision to maintain human rule, but it is also not a bad thing if the cost of this matter is really serious, because they can use this to force Shenxiao to surrender.
As long as she lowers her proud head, any "mistake" can be made up for.
Shen Xiao smiled:
"They will tear down this wall, and then I will rebuild human civilization on the ruins."
Before Shadow could react, Zhao Guanwu took the initiative to answer his question:
"Lies, both."
Shen Xiao glanced at him, but didn't say anything.
In fact, she knew that what she said could not be hidden from Zhao Guanwu, and the old man also knew that Shen Xiao knew this, so the purpose of her saying this was not to hide from the three people opposite, but to test the old man.
And Zhao Guanwu also gave his own answer-refuse.
"Very good." Shen Xiao said calmly, "Then just wait...
"Sooner or later you will see the end."
