I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Staggering, Mann stumbled into the narrow alleyway, the towering walls on either side blocking almost the entire night sky, with only a few wisps of silvery moonlight filtering down, allowing him to see what was in front of him.

Bang.

A soft, petite body bumped into Mann's back. The girl initially struggled in a panic, but seemed to notice something as she tried to push him away, and then looked up at him.

"Mann? Mann!" Yue Yue said in surprise, "I knew you'd come to save me, Celine..."

Before she could explain what was happening, Mann saw the scene behind her.

A silver-haired girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old was standing in the middle of the alleyway with her back to them, holding her hands up as if fighting against something.

Following the girl's arms, Mann saw two white-feathered monsters resembling raptors crouching on the walls on either side, surrounded by faint, sacred golden light.

Although they maintained a delicate balance, Mann could see Celine trembling as the monsters advanced, as if her slender frame would be crushed by the terrifying creatures at any moment.

Bang!

Mann suddenly leaped forward, but instead of falling back to the ground due to gravity, he soared through the air like an owl, tearing through the air and lightly brushing past Celine as he charged towards the two white-feathered beasts.

The two monsters raised their heads.

Hidden beneath their wings were two handsome, humanoid faces, filled with bloodlust and savage desire. When they saw Mann charging towards them, they simultaneously released their claws from the walls, flapping their wings and pouncing on him.

The female feathered beast's claws slashed across his cheek, tearing through the surface layer of psionic membrane, leaving three shallow, bloody marks on Mann's face. But Mann seemed to feel no pain at all, and simply reached out his hands towards the male feathered beast.

The latter adopted a similarly aggressive attack, with golden light illuminating the raised claws of the white feathered beast as it thrust them directly towards Mann's chest, vaguely resembling a thrown spear of light.

The spear of light easily tore through the membrane, pierced the boy's skin, and mercilessly pierced his lungs.

Splattered blood stained the pure white wings red, and the monster's face revealed a triumphant expression. Even its companion, hovering dozens of meters away, was surrounded by a sacred glow. But just as they thought they had achieved victory.

Bang!

A burst of blood bloomed in the air, and the headless corpse crashed heavily to the ground.

The second beast let out a mournful roar, and then swooped down towards the already seriously injured Mann.

But she forgot that there were more than just them here.

'Ah!'

A heart-wrenching wail pierced the feathered beast's eardrums, echoing incessantly within her skull, causing her to deviate from her original flight path and plummet to the ground beside Mann.

And Mann's hand landed on the back of her head.

Fresh blood flowed like a waterfall from her eye sockets and ear canals, forming a red lake beneath the boy.

"Mann, are you alright..." a trembling and worried voice came.

Mann looked towards the kneeling silver figure:

"It's alright now, Yue Yue...

"It's alright."

"That's good." Celine breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and then said in the direction of Mann's voice, "It's a good thing you're here."

Mann dragged his heavy body towards Celine.

Clap.

He suddenly stopped.

"You..." He stared intently at Celine, his voice growing lower and lower, "What's wrong?"

There were two streaks of bloodstained tears on the girl's face, and only blurred flesh remained in the place of her eye sockets.

"Maybe I just used a little too much force just now, maybe it's just temporary..." Celine raised her hand to touch her face, and then her body stiffened.

Mann bent down in front of her:

"Celine..."

The girl suddenly smiled:

"It's alright, Mann."

'Look, I can still perceive the world this way.' The girl's gentle voice came directly into Mann's mind, 'Like now, I'm closing my eyes, but I know you're right here.'

'You're still here with me.'

She was blind.

Mann said:

"I'll take you to the hospital."

The girl said softly:

"It's no use, what's already happened can't be changed, my eyes are gone.

"Maybe this is the price that heaven gave me for my talent. I have one more sense than others, so I'm destined to have one less than before, and the one I have more of is a special sense that others don't have.

"I'm already luckier than most people, don't be sad for me."

As she spoke, she groped for Mann's shoulder and patted it lightly to comfort him.

A faint sadness flowed through Mann's heart, making it impossible for him to say any words of comfort to the girl in front of him, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only respond with silence.

He said calmly:

"I'll find out what's going on and make those bastards who are responsible pay the price they deserve..."

The girl suddenly reached out her cold hands and cupped Mann's cheeks, gently interrupting him:

"Close your eyes."

Mann did as he was told.

"Now imagine that I'm still sitting across from you, but we're still on the orphanage balcony, and I'm looking at you with my eyes open..." the girl whispered softly, "Okay, now open your eyes again."

They reappeared on the balcony, and the girl sitting on the ground was smiling at him:

"I told you, it's not a problem.

"I can still see you, can't I?"

Mann nodded slightly to her:

"Yes."

Seeing that Mann had finally calmed down, Celine finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, like a little girl, she leaned towards Mann, peacefully closing her eyes, feeling the cool autumn breeze blowing over them, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly:

"You know, actually I...

"Cough, cough cough."

The girl suddenly coughed painfully.

Immediately, the environment around them began to dissolve, and they instantly returned to the blood-soaked alleyway.

"What's wrong?" Mann looked at Celine anxiously.

She clutched her stomach and said with some pain:

"I just feel a little uncomfortable, don't worry, hiss..."

The girl gasped, and then the alleyway they were in twisted for a moment as before it dissolved, but immediately returned to normal, without even attracting Mann's attention.

But Celine felt it.

Now she could only feel.

She endured the pain and said somewhat frantically:

"Mann, I feel like something's wrong..."

But she didn't wait for Mann's response.

The already blind girl frantically reached out towards Mann's direction, and felt a little relieved after touching his body. Then, the girl tried to feel Mann's existence with her mind, regardless of everything else.

But what she felt was not Mann.

But the flowing reality.

At this moment, the world had no secrets in her eyes.

"..."

"What's wrong?" Mann's anxious voice rang in her ears, pulling her back to Mann's presence. Then, she felt the flesh and organs in her abdomen hurting as if they were being corroded by sulfuric acid.

But she just looked at Mann with empty eyes, and whispered in despair and incomprehension:

"Fake?"

These words also awakened some memories deep in Mann's heart, and his body paused.

"What did you say?"

The girl squatted on the ground hugging her legs, muttering towards Mann's direction in a daze:

"It's all fake, Xiao Yun is fake, Xiao Yue is fake, her surviving is also fake, this world is fake, my memories are all fake, and I'm the fakest, I never existed at all...

"Why...

"Why..."

Her voice sounded like it was on the verge of collapse.

But just as her mind was about to be completely destroyed, she felt her hands being held tightly.

Celine slowly raised her head, revealing a sad and emotional smile:

"Only you are real.

"You may not remember, but actually I'm just your imagination. Chen Yun and Yue Yue are also your memories, but at least they're not completely unfounded. If only I were them..."

The girl's tone slowly became gentle and regretful:

"But unfortunately I'm not. I was fabricated out of thin air. Your childhood didn't have a companion named Celine at all. All the memories I have with you are just the delusions of a madman..."

Mann comforted her gently:

"But this is also a beautiful imagination, and I will be here with you."

"You're right." A smile reappeared on Celine's face, "I'm slowly seeing the truth. Although I'm just a joint fantasy of you and her, we still have these beautiful memories..."

But suddenly a few traces of fear appeared on her face:

"No, if this is a dream, if all of this is fake, then her purpose is..."

Celine said in a panic:

"Run away!

"She's coming, this is a trap, the whole world is a hotbed for nurturing her, this is an old dream of creating secrets, it's designed specifically for you, and I'm also a tool she uses to deal with you.

"Mann, run away, stay away from me..."

She looked at Mann anxiously, stood up and tried to push him away from her, but the girl who lifted her legs in a panic couldn't stand still, and fell heavily forward in a stagger.

She shattered into pieces.

Clap.

A slender silver arm stretched out from the girl's remains, deftly grabbed Mann's wrist, and pulled him over with a slight force. Then, a hazy and graceful female body slowly emerged in front of Mann.

The Moon God stretched lazily in front of Mann:

"You've prepared a nice bed for me, there's no need to be so polite.

"My little Mann."

She curled the corners of her mouth.

Mann realized the truth at this moment:

"You kept me from remembering."

The Moon God sat cross-legged, looked at Mann who was close at hand, and then looked around in surprise:

"I didn't expect you to prepare this gift for me. This is no longer the Southern Federation, but I can still easily exist in your mind. What a pleasant surprise.

"You're so nice to Celine, sister."

She showed a mocking smile.

Mann sighed calmly:

"The girl who wanted to push me away just now wasn't you. She was a trap you set for me. You can't see me, which means she's not even your derivative, nor is she a real soul."

The Moon God showed a smug smile:

"That's right. She's just a dream of yours.

"Weaving this beautiful dream is also a long-lost challenge for me. The things I buried in the butterfly have nothing to do with me, which means that no matter what kind of intersection you have with it, it won't affect me and you.

"Unless you join forces with me in it to lift the curtain between us.

"I was born in your heart.

"You, like all mortals, can't refuse beautiful fantasies."

The Moon God looked at the high walls on both sides:

"But what I didn't expect was that you actually left the Southern Federation?"

And she could appear here so easily, as if the chains that imprisoned her were no longer of any use.

The Moon God mercifully looked down at the mortal in front of her

"You can say any last words you have. Now I have completely gained control of your mind. You no longer have any chance to turn over and win. After a while, you will completely be mine.

"I'm in a good mood today, you can die clearly."

Mann sighed with emotion:

"Actually, I thought about the possibility of losing before I came. After all, you are a Rank V mental god, but I didn't expect that I would be so powerless when facing you, but it is also...

"Who in this world can truly control their own life?"

Now his entire mind was already in the hands of the other party. Any intention of resistance and struggle was meaningless. Although he was not particularly willing, he could only accept this ending.

The Moon God said in the posture of a victor:

"Not bad, this is the mentality that mortals should have.

"In our eyes, you races are all pitiful people destined to fail and die. Even the best of you are just a little more glamorous, but still short-lived mortals.

"I know you have some little secrets, which may be the reason why you have failed so completely. You will always worship things that are stronger than yourself or that you cannot understand, blindly invest faith in them, and even think that you can use them to kill gods.

"What an arrogant and pathetic idea."

Mann did not have any emotional fluctuations in response to the Moon God's ridicule.

He asked the question he cared about most:

"Are the things I saw just now real memories?"

The Moon God said:

"Yes, those are all true, but I didn't expect that there would be such magical things in the world.

"You were able to survive after encountering the Unmemorable, although you lost all your memories as a result, you were influenced by it and gained some of his characteristics. I really want to figure out how you did it.

"Unfortunately, you don't remember anymore.

"And your subsequent fate took a completely new turn because of your chance encounter with him. Although you are pitiable as an individual, in my eyes, you are actually a lucky mortal..."

Ma En noticed that she also used the term "Unremembered One."

Just then, the Moon God raised her eyebrows slightly:

"It seems you were used."

"But whether it was the Divine Firmament or the Federation that did this, they made the same mistake as you, but there's no helping it..."

"After all, you are just mortals."

A small recommendation will be given next Monday, so I'm asking in advance for subscriptions and monthly tickets at that time~
