"I'm afraid that's not possible," the electronic voice said. "But you're recording this conversation anyway, so it doesn't make any difference, does it?"
——That’s true.
Ms. M agreed in her heart.
"Tell me what it is, and I'll be ready when I get back. Then, tell me how and where to trade it."

Chapter 634 Love starts your performance
After Ms. M passed through the door alone, only her entourage, two Shelleys and a skeleton were left face to face.
Masha (in skeleton form) moved a chair in front of the random door, sat down, crossed his legs and looked at the agents.
Originally, Masha wanted to talk to Ms. M in person, but he could not move freely between the skeleton and his body.
So the task of dialogue had to be handed over to Chihiro and the league secretary, and they improvised according to the script given by Masha - the use of electronic synthesized voices was also based on this consideration.
So the two of them can discuss while typing out the agreed response on the keyboard, and then the computer will synthesize the sound.
In this way, Ms. M will not notice any problem just because the discussion time sometimes takes a little longer.
Masha was not worried about the situation over there at all. These two girls were very smart and had a high level of chemistry with Masha. With the support of the script, nothing would go wrong.
So Masha can focus on deceiving the agents left behind.
He figured the agents would ask questions—they would gather as much intelligence as they could.
Sure enough, an agent spoke up: "Shelley, what's going on?"
"I'm not obliged to tell you," Shelley replied according to Marsha's pre-set instructions.
"Mr. W has raised you for so long, and you don't appreciate his kindness at all..."
"He put the bullet into my back with his own hands," Shelley interrupted. "I think the fact that he's still alive is the greatest debt of gratitude I can give to him."
This part was also included in Masha's arrangement, but Masha did not expect the other side to throw a straight ball. Maybe these agents have not received professional negotiation training or something.
Another agent asked Shelley: "Don't you have any sense of national honor?"
"I did." Shelley responded calmly, "But the bullet shot at me changed my mind. You know, if it weren't for you, if it weren't for M, I wouldn't have made up my mind to join the shadow completely."
The agents exchanged glances.
Masha watched all this with great satisfaction.
The British might have originally believed that Shelley had already betrayed the country, and that she survived the beating only because Shadow had tampered with her in advance.
But now, they should start to wonder when Shelley joined the Shadow.
——Let the British think about it carefully.
——The more energy they spend on these meaningless things, the less energy they have to see through my scam.
Masha was only concerned with muddying the waters. He didn't care what the other party saw through the muddy water - the other party would never be able to guess the real trick anyway.
Masha continued to watch the agents silently.
This is the character he designed for himself. He doesn't say a word - he can't speak - but his appearance can release a full sense of presence.
Their presence is explosive, but they don't say anything. They just stare at you with their eyes that show nothing, and ask you if you're under a lot of pressure.
Masha was worried that Baiquan would mess around, but now Baiquan is faithfully playing the role of a well-behaved version of Shelley.
Finally, an agent asked again: "Who is this lady over here..."
"My clone," Shelley said the lines from the script.
Just say enough and don't say a word more.
The agents looked at each other again.
Masha could already foresee the British analysis department going crazy.
He waited patiently for a while.
His prop headset is attached to the inside of his skull with transparent tape. It cannot be seen from the outside, but it can function normally.
He heard Chihiro say, "We've got it done here."
So Masha stood up, put the stool aside, and turned to face the random door.
The door opened before Ms. M had time to get up.
Masha didn't step forward either - normally a true British gentleman should step forward and help the lady at this time.
But Masha was watching at the door with the two girls.
Ms. M stood up and walked towards the door. During the walk, she only glanced at Masha and then turned her eyes to Shelley.
He seemed to be considering whether to speak.
At this time, Shelley took the initiative to speak: "Thank you for pushing me."
Ms. M was very calm and replied, "You're welcome."
The two just passed each other.
Masha opened the random door again, and this time the other side of the door was Fleet Street.
Ms. M said to her entourage, “Let’s go.”
With that she strode through the door.
**
Three hours later, Ms. M was in the conference room looking at the head of the analysis department and his group of senior analysts.
"We carefully analyzed the image captured by the camera on your glasses, but it's not very clear due to the lighting..."
Low-light-level night vision goggles are relatively large in size, and even if the British Empire had advanced microelectronics technology, it was not yet able to put it on glasses.
"But," the senior analyst of the video department used a turn to stop Ms. M from interrupting, "we still got a lot of information. First of all, there is the huge inverted pyramid outside the window. We have analyzed it in detail. It... is very likely to exist."
Ms. M looked serious: "It's not CG?"
"Definitely not. But because of the single angle of view, we can't judge how big it is. We think you should stand up, walk to the window, and change the observation angle as much as possible."
Ms. M sighed: "I made a mistake..."
"Not really!" The head of the psychology department spoke up. "We believe that the other party incorporated a lot of psychological hints into the scene arrangement. Your subconscious choice to sit directly on the chair is a very natural behavior. I'm afraid anyone else would do the same."
Ms. M: “Thank you for explaining it to me.”
She then motioned for the senior analyst in the video analysis unit to continue.
The senior analyst said: "In short, we can now confirm that the scenery outside the window is basically real. Although we cannot estimate the size of the pyramid, we have evaluated other things seen from the window.
"For example, this location, we think it should be an elevator. And this location, it may be a helipad."
Ms. M suddenly spoke up: “I want to know, if this is a city, is it underground?”
The senior analyst shook his head. "We think it's underground, but... if these elevators, helipads, and so on are about the same size as similar buildings we know, then this underground city is a bit too big. Is there really such a huge underground cavity in the world?"
The head of the science department shook his head. "It is physically impossible for such a huge unsupported underground cavity to exist. But... a mountain that big has already flown into the sky, so you can ignore my opinion."
"I see. Where are those documents I saw?"
"The format of the document is very similar to that of an official document from Greater China, but there are many differences in the details. We suspect it may be a set design." A young man wearing glasses immediately replied, "The film may be trying to mislead us to suspect Greater China."
Although Ms. M nodded, she thought to herself - maybe the Shadow had no such intention at all, they didn't care about this small leak at all, they looked down on humans from a high position, and didn't think that humans could pose much threat to them.
"Are there any other clues? I looked at the things on the table as many times as I could." asked Ms. M.
"Yes, the name of this document is of great interest to us."
The analyst who was speaking placed an enlarged printout of the screenshot on the table.
"The Nuwa Project, this project obviously comes from the goddess Nuwa in ancient Chinese mythology.
"In addition, we also found this document in the corner. Only a corner of it was exposed. There was only one clearly identifiable text, and only the radical of the word that was pressed down in the narration was exposed. But we speculated that it was the word 'God'.
"FENGSHEN means the creator of gods in Chinese. Analysts familiar with ancient Chinese culture believe that this may be a word composed of three characters, Fengshenbang."
"What is that?" Ms. M asked bluntly.
"A magical weapon from ancient Chinese mythology. It records... the names of people who can become gods."
Ms. M felt a chill down her spine.
"What did you say?" she asked.
"I said, the Investiture of the Gods is a magical tool that records the names of all those who can become gods."
Ms. M's expression was very solemn.
She didn't tell anyone about the deal Ying proposed.
Haven’t told yet.
Therefore, at this time, she was the only one who realized the significance of the name "Investiture of the Gods" appearing here.
——Ying is hinting at me to believe that they have a way to provide a real list of potential awakeners.
——But why?
Ms. M didn't believe Ying's words, about inviting Britain to protect humanity together.
——The film must have something that he couldn't do in person at the British Museum, so he wanted to cooperate with us.
At this time, the analysts were still talking about the various conclusions they had reached. Ms. M seemed to be listening carefully, but was actually thinking about the reasons why Ying could not obtain the British Museum's collections by herself.
Anyway, everything the analysts say will be written into the report, and Ms. M will definitely read these reports later - very carefully. So it’s okay if she doesn’t listen now.
But now, Ms. M can't wait to find out why Ying didn't do it himself, but instead turned to MI6 - to cooperate with the British.
This affects her next decision.
——Ying is definitely not lacking in strength so he cannot be robbed openly.
Ms. M used the process of elimination, eliminating the most unlikely option first.
After all, it's a shadow.
Not only MI6, but also the CIA, KGB and Mossad were all played by the shadow.
With such a powerful shadow, wouldn't it be easy for him to rob a museum or something?
——So it’s definitely not due to lack of strength, there must be other reasons.
Ms. M couldn't help but think back to Ying's sudden silence in recent times.
Ever since that strange ceremony on Mount Sinai, Ying suddenly fell silent.
The Americans speculated that the King in Yellow suddenly revealed the secret of aura and caught Ying off guard.
In fact, Ms. M quite agrees with the Americans' analysis.
——After two months of silence, Shadow became active again, changing his previous strategy of playing with the whole world and extending an olive branch to MI6...
——No matter how you look at it, it seems that because of the activeness of the King in Yellow, we have to change our previous strategy.
But Ms. M still has doubts about the identity of the King in Yellow.
——I always feel like something is wrong.
——However, there is no logical flaw.
Moreover, Shadow's attack on the Yellow King did fail, which means that Shadow now may not have a good way to deal with the Yellow King.
——Maybe the vigilante who has been missing for a while recently is also related to this.
——So, Ying intends to use his main strength to deal with the Yellow King and reduce the strength invested in other places. This conclusion is completely tenable from a logical point of view.
Ms. M took a deep breath.
——This business can be done.
She made up her mind.
