I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Maen sat in his chair and waited quietly.

A reality warper.

To be honest, he had never thought that Hong Yuan might be a reality warper. After all, his performance at the banquet was so different from the other reality warpers Maen knew. However, this might just be because the reality warpers he knew were particularly strong.

Those less powerful reality warpers wouldn't expose themselves to the public casually.

But considering Hong Yuan could be resurrected, it made sense that he was a reality warper. However, Maen was still thinking about what he could actually do. After all, Hong Yuan hadn't shown any extraordinary abilities at the banquet.

As for resurrection...

In Maen's opinion, although it was indeed a good ability, he had considered how to deal with such opponents in the past. After careful consideration, he concluded that resurrection, without suitable abilities to complement it, was usually not that difficult to deal with.

In this case, resurrection would mainly affect enemies that were already difficult to deal with. If he struggled to defeat them, then the resurrection ability would make this enemy incredibly terrifying. But if they could easily take care of him...

Then Maen could actually think of many ways to counter resurrection. For example, inducing a state of dizziness in the mental dimension. Even if he couldn't do that, he could directly bind him. As long as the enemy had no way to commit suicide, then even if he could resurrect infinitely, it would be meaningless.

Moreover, for Maen, he could also make the enemy forget that he could resurrect, to ensure that the enemy wouldn't even try to escape by committing suicide.

Conversely, if a creature with the ability to resurrect also had the ability to commit suicide at any time and resist mental attacks, then it would be invincible when facing opponents who could only do these things.

Maen was thinking about these things mainly because he was worried that Hong Yuan had the ability to resurrect multiple times, and that he would actively commit suicide during the battle. Hong Yuan did show resistance to his Rank IV mental abilities at the banquet, but Maen hadn't figured out how he did it.

Now he knew it was because Hong Yuan could warp reality.

If he could keep resurrecting, he would have to find a way to trap him in a situation where he couldn't commit suicide to escape during the battle, or figure out the principle of his resurrection and how to counter it.

But if Hong Yuan couldn't do these things.

Then it didn't seem too difficult for him to completely kill him, as long as he could subdue him briefly.

After all, he had already killed a creature that could resurrect.

Hong Yuan wasn't the only resurrected being he had encountered. All the gods of the Southern Federation could constantly resurrect, and their incorporeal forms were far more difficult to deal with than Hong Yuan's. But the Moon God was still killed by him.

Because his containment room happened to be able to restrain these resurrected beings.

And although Maen didn't know the limits of the containment room, there was already a god imprisoned inside, so dealing with a reality warper who hadn't reached Rank V shouldn't be a problem.

And this actually raised another question for Maen.

Even aside from the fact that he had the Paranormal Control Bureau, Maen felt that Hong Yuan could foresee that trying to kill him was risky. After all, he had just demonstrated his mental abilities in battle and instantly killed Hong Yuan once.

So where did Hong Yuan get the confidence to try to kill him again?

Just because he was a reality warper?

If that was the case, that would be best. He just needed to find an opportunity to kill him.

However, Hong Yuan seemed more cautious than before. Shang Mingxin said that he only left contact information before leaving, obviously not planning to meet him again.

If Hong Yuan was still planning to appear near Shang Mingxin, Maen could organize the other members of the Salvation Alliance to ambush him at any time.

It seemed that Hong Yuan was at least sincere in destroying the negotiations and killing him. If he acted with the idea that he could easily kill him repeatedly, he might become the next Hong Yuan.

Dying from 'arrogance' like him.

After thinking from his perspective, Maen could only come to one conclusion.

That was, Hong Yuan, who wanted to kill him, definitely wasn't coming to die. He also knew that he had a way to kill him, so he must have somehow gained the confidence to defeat him and the other ability users present before doing so.

Maen wouldn't try to consider the possibility that Hong Yuan was too arrogant, so what he had to do was prepare to deal with an opponent of this level.

Thinking back, Hong Yuan's defeat back then was only because of his arrogance. If Hong Yuan had taken him more seriously, he might have really been able to kill him quickly.

Although this was also because he had to pry open his mouth, otherwise Hong Yuan wouldn't have had a chance to fight back with prior preparation.

It seemed that the outcome of their battle largely depended on various other factors: initiative, luck, strategy, intelligence, and these were naturally at a disadvantage given the premise of their negotiations.

Now it was Hong Yuan's turn to retaliate.

After considering all of this, Maen naturally appeared here.

A small figure walked through the wooden door.

Wang Yin looked at him formally:

"Are you here to discuss the negotiations?"

This was Maen's plan.

Even without considering the issues he had just thought about, Hong Yuan was still a reality warper.

Since dealing with him alone was risky, why not cooperate with the Federation, which also had conflicting interests with him? This would completely shift the danger to them.

But Maen had to be careful to maintain the distance, so that the Shadow or the Federation wouldn't take Hong Yuan away.

After all, he really wanted a reality warper.

Maen nodded slightly:

"You won't be sending too many guards during the negotiations, will you?"

The girl replied:

"Of course, we are very sincere about this negotiation."

She was still surprised by Maen's active cooperation. In Wang Yin's mind, Hong Yuan's approach was more in line with her expectations of the leader of the Southern Federation's Salvation Alliance. Showing resistance would be more beneficial for them to get more benefits.

The girl wasn't sure whether Maen was seeing things too clearly, or was so eager that he didn't want to let this opportunity slip away.

After all, they couldn't see any other way out.

Maen said:

"That's the problem."

Wang Yin looked at him in confusion:

"What do you mean?"

Maen didn't answer directly:

"I want to discuss this negotiation with your superiors, of course…"

"Keep a safe distance."

Wang Yin looked surprised:

"Are you sure?"

The girl was quite shocked by Maen's proposal. She had rarely seen anyone request to meet the Shadow, especially since Maen had been in an adversarial relationship with the Federation not long ago.

Although Wang Yin knew very well that the Shadow couldn't do anything to Maen at this critical juncture, it was human nature to fear contact with such a terrifying existence that could infiltrate one's mind.

It was precisely for this reason that she could feel Maen's extraordinary courage.

Maen replied briefly:

"Sure."

He didn't really want to discuss this matter with the girl who had once insisted on killing him.

As for meeting the Shadow, Maen wasn't worried.

Not only because meeting the Shadow in the Southern Federation wasn't that dangerous, but also because they were currently in a period of negotiation. Meeting the Shadow from a distance like last time was actually the safest choice.

Of course, he still had Qin Lan monitoring his mental state.

The girl said:

"Okay, I'll notify him now."

Wang Yin didn't ask what Maen wanted to do, because the negotiation with the Salvation Alliance was enough for the Shadow to spend some effort to meet him, and doing so wasn't difficult for the Shadow.

The girl closed her eyes and remained silent for a few minutes.

"Come with me." Wang Yin reopened her eyes, then turned around and opened the door behind her.

Behind the door was a spacious and clean office. An unremarkable man was sitting behind the desk, staring at the door, looking like he was waiting for a formal meeting.

"This is our second meeting, isn't it?" The man with Eastern Federation features smiled politely at Maen, and pointed to the chair opposite him, "Please sit, please sit."

Maen sat down naturally:

"I'm here to talk about something important to both of us."

The Shadow smiled and said:

"Yes, the ceasefire agreement, right? Although I've only met you once, I could tell you were a smart person, smarter than Hong Yuan mentioned by Wang Yin. Doing so is a win-win for us."

Maen nodded slightly:

"That's right."

The Shadow said with a smile:

"But you should also understand that there is no such thing as a win-win situation in the world, at least not for the Federation. Our common victory is actually based on the sacrifice of one person—Shenxiao."

The Shadow was looking forward to how Maen would answer.

Maen replied:

"This is her own decision. Who knows if doing so is what Shenxiao really wanted?"

The Shadow asked in a gentle tone:

"I know. But if I tell you that the only benefit of this matter for her is to save your lives, will you still insist on a ceasefire with us?"

Maen shrugged his shoulders:

"I've only joined the Salvation Alliance for a few months."

This sentence brought the Q\u0026A to a close.

The Shadow could feel that this sentence wasn't really a lie for Maen, but without being able to use mental abilities, he couldn't see Maen's exact attitude from this. He had thrown out a well-phrased ambiguous answer.

But this already represented something.

The Shadow waved his hand and said:

"Sorry, I'm just curious."

"I have no right to evaluate you, and you have no obligation to die for Shenxiao. I'm asking this just because understanding you is quite difficult for me. I can't figure out what extent you will go to."

"I mean, simply following her, fighting with us alongside her, and marching to death for her, all these things seem equally incomprehensible to me. In other words, it's hard for me to imagine what extent you will go to."

"Speaking of which, the reason why I asked these questions is also because Wang Yin's tone was particularly exaggerated when she mentioned you. She thinks it's incredible that you would bring all the members of the Salvation Alliance to negotiate with us so quickly."

"After all, even Hong Yuan is a bit difficult for her to handle, and the person who can deal with Hong Yuan and reassemble the Salvation Alliance is definitely not to be underestimated."

Maen asked in return:

"Then why am I not on your list?"

The Shadow paused, he didn't expect Maen to ask from this angle.

"Because Qin Lan is already on it, and I've also heard that you are her spokesperson." He said, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Maen said:

"Since you think so, why not change her name to mine?"

The Shadow immediately understood Maen's purpose—obviously he didn't want Qin Lan to contact them, and it was hard to say what the reason was. Maybe he wanted to protect Qin Lan, or maybe…

They misunderstood the relationship between Maen and Qin Lan.

"Of course." The Shadow wasn't interested in Maen's reasons for doing so, "I'll have them change the documents, as long as you can also represent the Salvation Alliance group that Qin Lan belongs to."

Maen then said:

"Then let's talk about business."

The Shadow raised his eyebrows curiously:

"Business?"

Maen nodded:

"You should know that Hong Yuan once joined forces with the other seven members on the list, and I gained their trust. In the process, I had some minor conflicts with Hong Yuan…"

"So I killed him."

The Shadow asked impatiently:

"You killed him?"

Maen said:

"That's right, but unfortunately, I didn't expect him to have the ability to resurrect at the time. And now Hong Yuan has been resurrected and is planning to stop our negotiations with you, and he also wants to take revenge on me."

"It's embarrassing to say, although I killed him, it was actually quite lucky."

"Hong Yuan is actually a very strong ability user. What he usually shows us is only the tip of the iceberg. If he wants to, he can completely kill all the members of the Salvation Alliance during the ceasefire negotiations. If he is allowed to act, both I and the people you send will be slaughtered by this cruel reality warper."

When Maen said the first part, the Shadow didn't really care. He thought Maen was just exaggerating, and he even began to suspect that he had some conspiracy, after all, Maen had killed Hong Yuan once no matter what.

Until he heard the words reality warper.

If Hong Yuan was a reality warper, then what Maen said could be established, because these bastards were born different, and they had the opportunity to make mistakes at will, who told them they could reshape reality with their will.

It was indeed possible that Maen had killed a reality warper by chance, and was powerless in the face of his revenge.

"You want us to help you kill him?" The Shadow asked.

"No." Maen said, "I want you to help me subdue him, and then we will execute him."

The Shadow narrowed his eyes:

"Is it you, or you?"

Reality warpers are quite valuable resources.

Maen curled the corners of his mouth:

"I don't think it's necessary to be so clear-cut. After all, you don't need to consider how I'm going to convince my colleagues and the Federation to cease hostilities."

"You want the Savior Alliance to 'disband,' and I want Hong Yuan. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

"You should know that a shared victory is built upon the sacrifice of 'others.'"

Shadow said:

"If your colleagues heard you say that, I wonder what they would think of you."

Mane replied with a smile:

"But they won't hear it."

"Will they?"

Shadow smiled.

What a fine young man.
