Chapter 308 306. Alice

In the corridor of the Federal Investigation Department building.

Shadow asked Ma En, who was following behind him:

"Do you have any questions about what I just said?"

Ma En shook his head:

"No."

Shadow told him in detail about the new agreement they had proposed to Atlantis. They described the various conditions to the Atlanteans in a very favorable light, and deliberately made them feel like they had a chance of winning. Of course, if you only looked at the surface conditions, that was indeed the case.

However, the Federation's purpose in proposing this was definitely not because they were worried about Atlantis flooding a few cities.

They would only do this if they had absolute certainty. If Atlantis actually had a chance to win head-on, the Federation would definitely have all sorts of dirty tricks up their sleeves, and they also possessed some special anomalies that could influence the outcome out of thin air.

"Now we only have a small problem," Shadow said. "We temporarily helped you get this position, and the person originally responsible for representing us in the duel with Atlantis was a power user named Du Jin, who isn't very convinced by you. In theory, this should be a problem for us to solve.

"But the current situation is very special. This Du Jin has a Tier V teacher called逍遥 Daoren, and he doesn't belong to the Federation, nor is he the kind of power user you can communicate with normally. Since we still have some designs on him, we can't afford to offend him casually.

"So you might have to find a way to convince him, but you don't need to feel pressured.

"If he deliberately makes things difficult for you, just let me back you up."

Ma En asked curiously:

"Didn't you just say you can't offend him?"

Shadow said with a smile:

"If you can solve it safely, that's naturally the best, but since we're asking you to do something, we can't let these minor details embarrass you. Besides, it's not逍遥 himself who's taking your position. I'm a Tier V power user, after all."

As they were talking, a girl stumbled out of the corner of the corridor.

The moment he saw her, Shadow slowed down to remind Ma En:

"Isn't this our genius girl?"

Hearing this, the slightly dizzy girl turned around and immediately looked at Ma En, who was following Shadow:

"Uncle Shadow, is he the person they mentioned?"

Shadow gave her a polite smile, but didn't directly answer her question:

"Ma En, this is Alice, who is responsible for the Tier 3 duel this time."

Hearing him say this, Ma En began to size up the girl in front of him. She looked like a mixed-race child from the Eastern and Western Federations, with a delicate and beautiful young face, shoulder-length golden wavy hair, and a pair of clear, bright sapphire-like eyes...

"...that's good."

When Shadow's question ended, Ma En was surprised to realize that he hadn't even noticed what he had said just now, but had been attracted by the girl standing in front of him. Then, he quickly built up a defense against her in his mind.

At this time, Shadow turned his face slightly to Ma En and said:

"Don't be afraid, this is normal. Everyone is like this the first time they see her. The mental distraction just now is completely harmless. In fact, you're not as lost as you think. A little stimulation is enough to pull you back to reality."

The girl smiled apologetically at him:

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Shadow continued:

"You know we have a sure chance of winning in this matter, and you definitely think we have some conspiracies and tricks, but I can guarantee that the Federation didn't use any tricks in the Tier 3 battle. Alice is enough to defeat any opponent of the same tier."

Ma En looked at her and said:

"I believe you."

Alice showed an embarrassed expression:

"Uncle Shadow is exaggerating. There are many power users in the Federation who are more outstanding than me."

Shadow continued:

"Most Tier 4 power users are no match for her. Alice has made us doubt the rationality of the tier division several times, and after repeated verification, we have determined that there is nothing wrong with the ability tier division itself. The problem is just her.

"To put it this way, we value her almost as much as we valued the Divine Firmament Walker back then."

Hearing this, Alice quickly waved her hand:

"I'm far inferior to Sister Divine Firmament. She's the most outstanding of us. By the way...

"Why hasn't Sister come to play with me recently?"

Her words instantly made Ma En think that she didn't seem to know what had happened to Divine Firmament, but he immediately felt something strange. If that was the case, why didn't Shadow remind himself to keep it a secret or something?

And Shadow answered quite naturally:

"They've already submitted your application, but the approval may take some time."

The girl lowered her head in disappointment, but almost instantly a smile reappeared on her face, and then Alice looked at Ma En:

"I heard you're one of her best followers?"

Ma En replied:

"I don't think so."

"Hmm..." Alice suddenly looked serious and carefully examined Ma En's face. "You look very blurry."

Shadow interrupted her gaze:

"By the way, what are you doing here? Meeting your comrade in advance?"

After being interrupted, Alice immediately shifted her attention to Shadow:

"That's right, I want to see who they think will win. I don't really like that Du Jin."

Ma En followed her words and asked:

"Then did you see anything?"

Alice answered in a slightly embarrassed whisper:

"I didn't see who of you would win."

Ma En continued to ask:

"Then do you have any advice for me?"

Alice showed a thoughtful look for a few seconds, and then slowly said:

"There's a very dangerous sphere in his stomach. You also have to pay attention to mental and physical protection at the same time. They're very strong in these aspects. He should also have a lot of bad tricks, but..."

She showed a troubled expression, and then looked at Ma En apologetically.

"Sorry, I don't really know how to explain to you what I saw."

"This is already very useful to me," Ma En said to her. "Thank you."

Shadow suddenly interjected:

"Now that you've met Ma En, shouldn't you go back? Otherwise, they won't be able to find you again."

Alice said somewhat reluctantly:

"Okay..."

Shadow persuaded:

"If they know you came to hinder me, they'll definitely come and make trouble for me."

Hearing this, the reluctance on the girl's face also disappeared. Finally, she turned her head and looked at Ma En.

"We'll have a chance to see each other again, and...

"I like your hat."
