299. The end is near
"Do you have any suggestions?" Shadow asked curiously.
The woman sitting opposite him looked at him calmly:
"You let me out and I can tell you the answer."
The answer to the question is not someone else, but the Shenxiao Walker who could be imprisoned by them. At this time, there was more than one person sitting opposite her.
The old man Zhao Guanwuzai, who led the construction of the prison, sat casually on the right back of the shadow shadow, tilted his head and looked at the details of the house where the Shenxiao Walker lived, as if he was thinking about it.
Sitting on the back of his left is the middle-aged man Li Hu with a gloomy face. He is now one of the two deputy ministers of the Investigation Department. Although he is nominally a subordinate of the shadow, he does not accept his management at all. The two deputy ministers of the Investigation Department each manage a completely independent system.
Before the establishment of the Investigation Department, this V-level ability person was responsible for leading the "third hand" of the Federation's secret agency. If the Coordination Bureau led by Shen Xiao was the sword blade of the Federation, then the third hand was the dagger hidden in the dark of the Federation.
The third hand used to be responsible for all kinds of truly shameless things, such as assassination and infiltration, as well as those dirty things that I created an abnormal control bureau that was conveniently known to most abnormal abilities. The recent reverse infiltration of Atlantis was also completed by his intelligence personnel.
As the leader of the former secret agency, Li Hu has extremely high frontal combat capabilities and can carry out various important violent actions. He is responsible for solving the things that Shen Xiao is unwilling to do. In the eyes of the outside world, he is the second person below Shen Xiao.
But Li Hu himself knew that there were other existences in the Federation that were stronger than him. For example, Zhao Guanwu, who seemed to be a little unstoppable, Li Hu also realized how capable the old man was after he planned and proposed the plan for Shenxiao.
Moreover, 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 things like dealing with Shen Xiao that have highly overlapping interests, he rarely does anything big with the Federation.
However, even so, the benefits this old man brought to the Federation were already terrifyingly high. Although he no longer served in the Federal Research Institute, nearly half of the truly great achievements were from Zhao Guanwu's hands, and several devices that controlled Shenxiao were also led by him in research.
So when facing Shen Xiao’s question, Li Hu didn’t say anything, but just waited patiently for the old man to speak.
After about ten seconds of her answer, he spoke reluctantly.
"No need to pretend. If they say it is true, the things under the sea will definitely affect the survival of all mankind. With your ability, it is impossible to ignore their existence. It is only possible that it was not a hurry for you before.
"Tell us what the solution is bad for you, and 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 already made it clear. Just pay attention to what I said and work with Atlantis to delay this threat for at least a few hundred years.
"But what you want is a way to solve the problem without giving anything. You want me to tell you how to force Atlantis to deal with those monsters by themselves, so that you can reap the benefits of the fisherman.
"And I don't know the answer to this question."
Shadow said:
"The federal government cannot accept the method you said. That cost is too high for us. How can we ensure the safety of the remaining human beings in the future? We doubt that you are saying this to consume our resources.
"In this tug-of-war, those who are exhausted first will be defeated."
Shen Xiao said with bright eyes:
"You are right. Now you have put yourself in a pull with me, and this will drag you into the abyss like a swamp. If you continue like this, you will only slowly move towards the future of the end with me.
"I can't even save you by then."
"Don't pretend to be ignorant." said the old man, "You know very well that this is their purpose. When the world is heading to the end of the world, it is the best opportunity to control you, and you don't have to say that you can watch humans die slowly.
"You do have courage far beyond the surface, and if you are an ordinary person, you may compromise.
"But we know what is playing with you."
"Ahem." Shadow cleared his throat, "All in all, we will not give you any rewards or commitments. You can not tell us any advice. We will regard that as you think our approach is effective and proceed as you plan now.
"If you remember something, you can tell us anytime."
Shen Xiao gently lifted his skin:
“I can tell you one thing.
"You can't win."
The old man keenly noticed something strange:
"What can't be won?"
Shen Xiao sighed slightly:
“It’s hard for me to say whether it’s too late or not. I can’t see everything completely, it’s one of them.
"Do you know how much the thing takes up a percentage of the planet? Can you understand what it is? Can you see the difference between it and us? Can you really understand how to prevent it from being defensive?
“Do you know what’s wrong to cause it to destroy the planet?
"No, you don't know anything, but you are still remote and 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 were as you said, you would have been ready to deal with her.
"And I know what you have done over the years, and there is never any of the enemies in your eyes."
Shen Xiao nodded:
“Because I can’t win either,”
The shadow looked into her eyes, and his tone was sincere and huge:
“You are 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 a very excessive requirement, but since you say it's dangerous, only you can deal with it.
"You have to stand up."
He didn't say it completely, but the result that the Federation most wanted to see was that Shen Xiao took the initiative to accept the constraints. As long as she properly cooperated with her will that could distort reality, they could perfectly put shackles on her body.
In the view of the Federation, refusing to cooperate with Atlantis is not only a good decision to maintain human rule, but it is 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 kind of "fault" can be compensated.
Shen Xiao smiled:
"They will push down this wall, and then I will rebuild human civilization on the ruins."
Before the shadow could react, Zhao Guanwu took the initiative to answer his question:
"Like lies, both are."
Shen Xiao glanced at him, but said nothing.
In fact, she knew that her words 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 on the other side, but to test the old man.
Zhao Guanwu also gave his own answer - Reject.
"Very good." Shen Xiao said with a calm expression, "Then wait...
"As sooner or later you will see the end of the world."
This sentence is the truth.
