I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 114 113. Revelation (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

Ma En placed the sapphire in his hand into the middle of the basin.

Ripples appeared on the clear surface of the water in the basin, and in an instant, they turned into surging miniature waves. The wind howled across the surface, water vapor rose, and turned into a downpour that lashed the surface. The scene in the basin was like a miniature ocean.

After a few seconds, an aged face appeared on the sea.

"We have confirmed the time and location of the Hunters' Sons' ritual," Shana said to Ma En. "They plan to start the ritual tomorrow in the rainforest south of Gowen Province, which is very close to your current location. Are they ready?"

Ma En replied:

"The weapons crafted by the Craftsman's Sons have reached them."

Shana's face, made of seawater, nodded to Ma En:

"Seventeen Tier III ability users will be present at that time, but not all of these guys are your targets. The top priority targets are the two Great Shamans among the Hunters' Sons. They and the Concordant are the core of this ritual, but the Concordant is a replaceable resource for the Federation, so they are only the second target.

"Werewolves and vampires are not our targets, but they are guarded by members of the other two groups. If there is an opportunity, you can kill them first with silver weapons imbued with magic. However, with our numbers, even if we ambush them, we won't be able to defeat seventeen Tier III ability users.

"Therefore, you only need to reduce the number of main targets as much as possible. You can place those two bounty hunters in a relatively safe position, and let those three unknown individuals do the most dangerous work.

"The bounty hunters' goal is just money. They are unwilling to risk their lives to work, but the members of the Salvation Alliance are different. If they can't destroy this ritual, they are just pushing their death date further back.

"They have no choice."

Ma En asked curiously:

"It sounds like you want them to die in this operation?"

"Moreover, if they die at the hands of the Investigation Department, it can make them less embarrassed and angry. The purpose of their ritual is to capture the members of the Salvation Alliance. Since they can get three members of the Salvation Alliance, they can actually accept this loss.

"And our purpose is to deal with the Sons of Gods within the Investigation Department. Whether the members of the Salvation Alliance live or die has nothing to do with us. In a sense, this is actually a win-win situation."

Their "win-win" with the Federation, the loser is the third party—the New Gods Alliance.

Ma En suddenly asked:

"If these members of the Salvation Alliance die, can I have their rewards?"

"How greedy," Shana smiled. "But I appreciate it. As long as you can guarantee the destruction of the ritual, the rewards of the dead will be yours.

"But the premise is to complete the mission."

He watched the face on the sea slowly dissipate.

That's not right.

When she asked him for help, Ma En wondered why she trusted him so much. At that time, Shana's performance seemed to be just particularly confident in her ability to judge people.

In fact, Ma En would indeed not collude with the Investigation Department, but what was her reason for doing so?

Ma En's initial thought was that Shana might have regarded him as a member of the Salvation Alliance, which is why she didn't have any precautions against him. Therefore, he planned to go along with it and dismantle the Gowen Province search system together with the Han family.

And now she has also made a request to let the members of the Salvation Alliance die. Is this a test for him?

Moreover, she agreed without hesitation to his already somewhat excessive demands, as if she would agree to anything Ma En said.

Ma En reached into the water, scooped up the sapphire, put it into the containment space, and turned to walk towards the forest.

Shana may have some conspiracies and secrets, but who doesn't?

After walking for a few minutes, Ma En found the person he wanted to see.

Logan was sitting in the woods, holding a pure silver cane in his right hand. The moment he saw Ma En, he raised his head and signaled to the two companions hiding in the distance not to act rashly.

Ma En came to him and stopped:

"I recently saw the souls of dead members of the Salvation Alliance. They were all killed by Ren Qingxue in Winter Castle.

"Qin Luan's defeat has completely changed the situation, hasn't it?"

Logan raised his head and stared at him, asking with an unkind expression:

"What do you want to say?"

Ma En glanced at the direction of the wooden house:

"The two bounty hunters can't hear us now.

"Just now Shana told me that the Hunters' Sons will start the ritual tomorrow, and she asked me to let you three unknown people perform the most dangerous task, because she thinks you are desperate."

Logan looked at him coldly:

"Tell your master, I am very clear about the Hunters' Sons' plan and know what impact this will have on the Sons of the Ocean. If she really has this idea, then we will fight to the death."

"No, no need," Ma En said directly, "Because I won't do that."

Logan looked at Ma En in surprise:

"What are you saying?"

"Hello, I am Qin Lan's subordinate, a member of the Salvation Secret Alliance," Ma En extended his hand to him. "We are planning to reorganize the second Salvation Alliance to fight against the current Federal government and the upcoming Great Collapse."

Logan looked at Ma En with surprise and suspicion, looking at him with wariness and doubt:

"Why should I believe you?"

Rather than believing that he just happened to meet like-minded but never-before-seen members of the Salvation Alliance, Logan was more willing to believe that this was a conspiracy by the Han family and the Investigation Department to find other members of the Salvation Alliance.

If Ma En couldn't provide overwhelming evidence, he was likely to be a spy trying to gain their trust.

Logan gave his two companions in the distance a look, signaling them to prepare for battle.

Then Ma En raised his finger slightly.

At the same time that terror and anger appeared on Logan's face, several vines buried in the soil suddenly wrapped around the standing Ma En. They could easily tear apart steel, and their speed was like that of a hunting cobra.

But the magic vines broke in two the moment they touched Ma En's body, and the parts that touched him in the middle all evaporated into thin air. And when the other two people in the distance saw this scene and were about to rush over...

Ma En was also gone.

He reappeared from the shadow dimension, picked up the silver cane, and with a light grip, split this magical weapon in two in the face of Logan's desperate gaze.

Maggie and Jiang Hua in the distance also stopped. Logan's clean and neat defeat just now had already proved that they had no chance of defeating Ma En. Since that was the case, there was no point in showing up.

The Salvation Alliance could no longer afford meaningless sacrifices.

But Ma En said apologetically and gently:

"I'm sorry, I did this because I really don't have any conclusive evidence.

"But you see, I am a Tier IV ability user, and I can destroy the Gowen Province Investigation Department and the entire Han family on my own. I can kill you and those two companions in the blink of an eye. I have no reason to deceive you.

"At least you can temporarily believe that my purpose is not to kill or capture you."

This was the truth, because he could easily do both of these things, and now Ma En's actions had instead given the few people room to maneuver and bargaining chips.

"The reason I took the Han family's job," Ma En released his control over Logan, "was to help the members of the Salvation Alliance here, and by the way, destroy the search system jointly established by the Hunters' Sons and the Investigation Department.

"Otherwise, what is my purpose in coming here, for that little reward?"

In fact, Ma En had other ways to prove himself, such as removing the concealment of his appearance, but he did not intend to reveal any information that could be linked to his identity.

After all, what he said was not entirely true.

Ma En did not tell them that the Salvation Secret Alliance would be a subordinate organization of the Anomaly Control Bureau, and that he was the controller behind the scenes—this would not be easily accepted by the current members of the Salvation Alliance, and it was likely to be met with strong suspicion and opposition.

Logan, who had regained his freedom, gave his companions a signal to wait in place, and then asked Ma En:

"So you're just going to do this?"

Ma En smiled:

"This is useful, isn't it?"

Of course it was useful.

Logan, who was born in the Southern Federation, knew this best.

The words of the strong are always more weighty and credible than the weak. Even if Ma En was really lying, then what he was seeking could definitely not be their lives or freedom.

And with the ability that Ma En showed, it would not be difficult for him to control himself and slowly interrogate him. From this point of view...

They might really be lucky.

The second update has some problems and needs to be revised.
