I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control
#257 - 252. Good Samaritan
After talking with Shadow, Mann immediately began preparing to find the remnants of the Eastern Federation's Salvation Alliance, intending to transform these members into his secret force. His method for handling this was simple.
He directly contacted former Salvation Alliance members he had previously encountered to get in touch with others related to them. He even found a capable person who knew about these remaining resisters, someone who had a long-term cooperative relationship with one of their covert ability users.
Leveraging these connections, the person finally agreed to help Mann find them, promising to get it done in just a few days. According to his assessment, no other ability users could find them so quickly.
In other words, this matter was a sure thing. Mann also prepared a backup plan: if they were caught, Shadow would immediately receive the news. If Mann wanted to maintain the contract's protection to that stage, he couldn't intervene personally.
However, he still had a group of Level 0 employees who could impersonate other Salvation Alliance members to take action. As long as they did it cleanly and left no evidence, no one could say it was related to him.
So, he was still leisurely staying by Chen Yun's side, trying to recover his memories. Regarding the memory disorder that happened some time ago, he also came up with a way to deal with it:
He would simply store his memories regularly and constantly check them…
Just when he thought he wouldn't get into any trouble, he suddenly received some news from the fallen angel Ian. His current responsibility was still watching over Chen Yun, and he was the one who alerted Mann when the Church people came to the door last time.
Without that incident, he might not have come to see Chen Yun for a while.
But now he brought some news: the Church hadn't given up on taking Chen Yun away to protect her and was preparing something. Ian's orders were to temporarily leave Chen Yun's side with his companions, and the reason they gave was that Mann was with her.
This was a ridiculous and unreasonable excuse, clearly just a reason to get them out of the way.
Although they couldn't have imagined that Ian had fallen and betrayed Heaven, doing this was definitely out of secrecy. In other words, they didn't think this was something these two two-winged angels should know. If he showed any abnormalities here, it might arouse suspicion.
After all, Mann's appearance at the time was too coincidental. Even if he was monitoring the situation near Chen Yun, his appearance was a bit too timely, as if he already knew the Church would send someone over that night.
If Mann showed that he knew in advance this time, it would definitely arouse some suspicion within the Church, and then they would follow the clues to Ian, which was something Mann didn't want to see.
Chen Yun's fate as a saint was only to ascend to become an angel after death and be rapidly promoted in this system, just like what the Church was secretly doing to her now. In other words, these things would only begin after her death.
Before that, she was relatively safe.
But now the situation seemed to be getting worse.
Although Mann could still take Chen Yun to the Abnormal Control Bureau if he really had no other choice, that would mean he had broken ties with the Church. He had just resolved the conflict with the largest abnormal force on the surface, and offending a force only slightly smaller than the Federation was not what he wanted.
Just as Mann was thinking about what the Church wanted to do, there was a knock on the door outside.
An ordinary mind.
"I'll open the door," he said to Chen Yun.
When he opened the door, he saw a completely unfamiliar young man, and the clothes he was wearing looked like expensive luxury brands, not like someone from the Church or the Inquisition.
The man also showed a surprised expression when he saw Mann, then asked nervously:
"Who are you?"
Hearing the voice, Chen Yun walked behind Mann:
"Mr. Mo?"
He nodded nervously, then looked at Chen Yun and asked:
"May I come in?"
Chen Yun said enthusiastically:
"Of course, Mann, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Mo Jiangwen. He's a devout believer. We had dinner a few days before you came."
At this time, Mo Jiangwen seemed to react:
"So you're Mann. Sorry, you're a bit different from what I imagined."
Mann didn't point out that photos already existed:
"Thank you for taking care of my sister."
Mo Jiangwen nodded repeatedly:
"It's all I should do."
Chen Yun stood behind Mann and reminded him in a low voice:
"I've only met him once. He seemed a bit strange at the time, but I don't think he's a bad person."
Her intuition was always accurate.
Mann nodded slightly, then greeted him and said:
"Mr. Mo, do you have something to say to my sister?"
Mo Jiangwen looked at Chen Yun, then at Mann:
"Yes, I have something to say…"
As he said this, his expression became more and more nervous. It seemed like what he was about to say was a very stressful thing for him. Judging from his expression and actions alone, he seemed to want to retreat several times, and his eyes looked around timidly.
But eventually, his gaze fell on Chen Yun. After a few seconds, he seemed to have made up his mind and said:
"I got a message. Actually, I shouldn't know about this, but I still found out.
"This message has troubled me for a long time. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to muster up the courage to come here. After saying this, we may not be able to meet for a long time."
He took a deep breath, then looked directly at Chen Yun and said:
"Your brother Mann is in trouble."
Mann raised his eyebrows slightly curiously:
"I'm in trouble?"
Mo Jiangwen nodded at him, but immediately shifted his gaze to Chen Yun. Mann could clearly see how much he cared about Chen Yun, and according to Chen Yun, they had only met once.
"Yes, but I just heard about it. I feel obligated to tell you, but I'm also worried that this will cause some problems." Mo Jiangwen thought for a while and turned his head to Mann. "Or maybe we should talk alone."
Chen Yun asked Mo Jiangwen first:
"Are you going to say something I can't hear?"
Mo Jiangwen hesitated and said:
"Some things that might cause misunderstandings between you."
Chen Yun looked at Mann sincerely and asked:
"Do you think I should leave?"
Mann pondered for a few seconds and chose to follow his intuition:
"Just say it directly."
Mo Jiangwen looked at them a few times, and finally said helplessly:
"Miss Chen Yun, many of your former church members died in a fire, right? But I want to say that it wasn't a fire. Your brother must know this better than I do. There are many secrets I can't say here.
"But I think the Church thinks your brother was involved in that."
After this sentence, the air was silent for a few seconds.
To his surprise, the two people in front of him looked quite calm. This sentence didn't seem to cause any waves on Chen Yun's body at all, but Mo Jiangwen could "see" how kind Chen Yun was. Logically speaking, she could never be so calm.
This feeling was more like…
Trust.
And this made him like Chen Yun even more.
He deliberately swallowed his saliva again, then continued:
"The bishops and clergy there were all killed, and they think your brother is on the side of the criminals.
"They might come looking for you in the next few days."
Chen Yun looked at Mann with a peaceful expression, patiently waiting for him to tell the story, and Mo Jiangwen could see that this peace was not pretended, nor was it the kind of calm anger.
"Of course I participated in that matter," Mann said to Chen Yun. "At that time, I was working under some good people, the government agency I mentioned to you before, and then I was assigned to participate in the investigation of this matter."
Chen Yun asked worriedly:
"Did you do anything bad?"
Mann replied:
"No."
A smile reappeared on her face:
"That's good."
Just like that?
Mo Jiangwen looked at them in disbelief. She was a kind person. Although he originally wanted Chen Yun to stand behind Mann to fight against the Church, he never expected it to be so simple.
He thought there would be an argument, and then he could take the opportunity to say a few words for Mann, so that he could leave a good impression on her when Chen Yun remembered it later.
"You believe him just like that?" Mo Jiangwen couldn't help but ask. "Do you trust your brother so unconditionally?"
What about those dead church members?
Chen Yun shook her head:
"No, I don't believe him unconditionally.
"I can just see if he's lying."
Although Mann didn't have the corresponding ability, he accepted it as a matter of course:
"She's my sister.
"Thank you for your help. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me at any time. I can provide some insignificant help within my power, in any field.
"Of course, I can't do bad things."
He was really grateful for Mo Jiangwen's appearance, because it gave him a reason to prepare in advance.
And his promise was also sincere. No matter what reason he came here to warn his sister, he should be grateful for it.
Hearing this, Mo Jiangwen could clearly realize the value of this promise. If you were to ask what Mann could do, then the closest answer to them was killing a reality warper.
But he couldn't be happy at all now. Even if the development of the situation perfectly matched his expectations, it was precisely because it was too perfect that he had new worries, and…
He had to admit that he was a little jealous of Mann now.
If he were a demon, this jealousy might have turned into hatred, but fortunately he was a devil, so he could continue to play his current role without revealing the slightest flaw.
He was absolutely professional in forging this matter.
Mo Jiangwen forced himself to show a smile to Mann:
"No, I'm not doing this for a reward.
"I just don't want to see Miss Chen Yun encounter any accidents. From my years of experience dealing with the Church, they sometimes use some shady means to achieve their goals. I don't want to see that happen to you."
As he said this, he looked straight at Chen Yun again.
Chen Yun showed him a polite smile:
"If there's anything we can help with, feel free to ask in the future.
"We owe you this."
He shook his head repeatedly:
"No, you can't ask for a reward for doing good deeds."
"Thank you." Chen Yun finally nodded, but her expression was as if she was saying that we would never forget your kindness.
This made him show a discouraged expression quite naturally:
"Well, then I'll go first. I've been here for too long."
Mann immediately stepped forward enthusiastically to open the door for him, then gently instructed:
"Be careful on the road, don't let the Church notice."
What a good person.
After he had been gone for some time, Chen Yun asked her brother worriedly:
"So they're going to make trouble for you."
But Mann didn't return to this question:
"Did you see it?"
Chen Yun looked puzzled:
"See what?"
Mann reminded:
"He seems to be interested in you.
"And there aren't many people who can do this kind of thing at this age, unless he has some particularly complicated intentions, or he has a very strong love for you."
"Of course I saw it." Chen Yun said with a slight reproach, "But why are you still concerned about these little things? Didn't you hear Mr. Mo just say that the Church is going to deal with you? Although I don't understand these supernatural things, I also know that a church of this scale is definitely not simple.
"This is a very serious matter."
Mann nodded in agreement:
"That's right, but Mr. Mo gave me enough time to deal with this matter, and they can't really condemn me for anything on this matter, at least not when I'm prepared."
Then he immediately looked at Chen Yun with interest again:
"But I didn't expect to see a man who's interested in his own sister. What do you think of him? But if I were to evaluate him, although he's a good person, he's still not that suitable…"
This made her pout with some dissatisfaction:
"Have you really lost your memory? How are you just like you were in the past now?"
Mann suddenly paused, then realized:
"Did we talk like this before too?"
He had hardly thought at all when he was speaking just now.
Chen Yun smiled:
"It seems it's still useful, it's just not to the extent you expected.
"And if you're really so unable to restrain your curiosity, then I can only say that I don't believe in love at first sight. Love takes a long time to cultivate and nurture. At least I haven't met anyone in my life who can move my heart."
"So don't worry about these things…
"And I still have you to take care of now."
