I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Everyone else had left, leaving only Mann and Chen Yun in the room. The broken wall had also been restored to its original state by Bishop Fu after the ritual was completed, as if nothing had happened today.

Chen Yun called out:

"Mann?"

He snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Chen Yun:

"What's wrong?"

Chen Yun said with a solemn expression:

"Tonight's events have been a bit of a shock to me. The way you view and interact with angels, the way these divine messengers act, and the Tribunal's indiscriminate actions...

"If they keep acting like this, they're bound to make a lot of mistakes."

Mann casually replied:

"As far as I know, your concerns are quite accurate."

He wasn't planning on telling her about You Yue yet.

Chen Yun said seriously:

"Do you think I should become a Saintess?"

Mann shook his head and said:

"No, I don't think they're good people. Do you remember the sinner Shen Xiao they mentioned?"

Chen Yun nodded:

"I wanted to ask you about that too."

The people who had appeared to defuse the situation seemed to be following this Shen Xiao, and the angels' claim that she was a hypocritical villain made Chen Yun even more worried about her younger brother.

Mann explained:

"Shen Xiao is a very powerful ability user, basically the strongest I know. But that might be hard for you to understand, so I can give you a practical example.

"In publicly recorded battles, she has repelled the demons of Hell several times. The most difficult time, she repelled two Hellish Princes working together and three Great Demons who were only slightly weaker.

"And although it's not often mentioned, she actually had a brief exchange with three of the most battle-hardened angels. Neither side revealed the details of that battle, but we all know the answer.

"Because if the angels had gained the upper hand, they definitely wouldn't have kept silent."

Chen Yun raised her eyebrows slightly:

"She sounds really strong."

Mann nodded:

"But in the time before I was wanted, she was defeated by more than a dozen ability users of the same level in cooperation with the Federation. Now Shen Xiao is being held in a super prison specially made for her by the Federation. Do you know why they did this?"

Chen Yun asked curiously:

"Why?"

Mann said:

"Because she's trying to save the world."

Chen Yun looked surprised:

"That sounds incredible."

Mann nodded:

"That's what I thought when I first heard it. At first, I didn't immediately believe it. Even if it was true, it might not be the whole truth. At the time, I chose to join the Salvation Alliance she founded simply because I thought it was the right choice.

"But what happened next convinced me. The real evidence isn't how I see it, but how those ability users who stand at the same height as her see it. They have a perspective I don't have, and they may have far greater judgment abilities than me.

"The reason the Federation wants to deal with her is because they're worried she'll threaten them during the salvation process. Other ability users who cooperate with them have similar concerns. After all, you should be able to easily imagine..."

Chen Yun nodded:

"The stronger you are, the more tempting it seems to do evil."

Mann continued:

"Even if the price is slowly pushing the world into the abyss. When she was free, she also did a lot of good for the whole world through the Salvation Alliance and herself. The Salvation Alliance's job was to prevent other forces from acting without regard for morality.

"And she did what I just mentioned—constantly fighting other ability users of the same level and persuading them to slightly change their behavior. When faced with those who couldn't be reasoned with, she would fight to the death.

"Ultimately, she either killed them or they hid away.

"That's who the best ability user in the world was before I was wanted. The official Coordination Bureau she led also contacted me and solved some potential troubles for me without any other conditions. It's a pity that's all gone now.

"And that's the evil Shen Xiao in the angels' mouths."

Chen Yun nodded slightly:

"In that case, their words are really hard to accept. Although I instinctively don't want to admit it, after thinking about it carefully, that statement sounds more like a lie to justify their own actions.

"And according to what you're saying, Shen Xiao has already lost, right?"

Mann nodded:

"That's right. The Salvation Alliance fought the Federation for a while. Although we were definitely far inferior to them, we did achieve some decent results. That's why we reached the final outcome.

"The Federation signed a truce agreement with us, and the price was the dissolution of the Salvation Alliance.

"This meant cutting off part of Shen Xiao's source of power, but it was also her decision."

Mann's understanding of this was deeper than that of other Salvation Alliance members. He could say with absolute certainty that it was truly her decision.

Chen Yun sighed in admiration:

"A truly good person.

"No wonder you're on the same side as her."

Mann looked curious and asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time:

"Was I a good person before?"

Chen Yun said firmly:

"Yes, although not the most typical kind, and not very similar to me or the Shen Xiao you mentioned, you're definitely a good person. You talked to me about this in detail a long time ago. Although your standards are different from the secular ones, there's no doubt you're a good person."

Mann carefully observed her expression and nodded after confirming that Chen Yun wasn't lying:

"That's good."

Chen Yun suddenly added, as if she had just remembered something:

"But some people might not think you're a good person, but you don't have to pay attention to them.

"I know their ideas are wrong."

Mann said sincerely:

"I believe your judgment of me."

Chen Yun continued:

"So instead of becoming a Saintess, what I should do is follow Shen Xiao like you."

Mann said:

"Unfortunately, her era has ended."

Chen Yun nodded slightly, with a thoughtful expression:

"Then is there any ability user in the world similar to her now?"

Mann shook his head:

"No, at least we haven't seen one."

Chen Yun then asked:

"Do you think I have a better choice than becoming a Saintess?"

Mann replied sincerely:

"Be an ordinary person."

Chen Yun smiled:

"Good idea, but I can't do that.

"If you were also ordinary, this might be a reasonable approach, but it seems you've been getting into a lot of trouble lately, and it's predictable that you'll get into a lot of trouble in the future.

"And if I were your opponent, I would definitely notice your ordinary sister. What would you do then?"

Mann replied:

"I can take care of you, even if I'm far away."

Chen Yun looked at her younger brother with a smile:

"Don't be silly, you and I both know that's not realistic.

"Don't you think you won't encounter equally matched opponents? How would you have the energy to take care of me then? And if I were your enemy, I would clearly make you certain that as long as you surrender, I can live. What would you choose then?"

Mann replied:

"Reality isn't a multiple-choice question. I'll find a way."

Chen Yun firmly questioned:

"What if there really is no other choice? Reality isn't a fairy tale.

"I don't want to see you choose either one, because that would hurt you."

If Mann was the kind of cold-blooded bastard, it might be okay, but Chen Yun knew her younger brother very well. Even now that Mann had lost his memory, he was still the person she knew best.

Speaking of which, the fact that Mann had lost his memory was actually a good thing for this, because it meant that he might not make the worst choice before he remembered the past—exchanging his life for hers.

But even if he gave up on himself, it wouldn't be a good choice. Because that would definitely make him very painful.

And if Mann regained his memory...

She couldn't think about it anymore.

"The Church has given me an opportunity." Chen Yun looked at the silent Mann with a firm expression. "I don't think there are any other supernatural organizations in the world that are more suitable for me right now.

"And you should know that if it weren't for you, I would have already agreed to Angerton's proposal.

"When I saw their current problems, I had already decided to correct the mistakes they were making. If I didn't do that, it would only be because of your existence, but now this isn't a bad choice for you either.

"This is what I wanted to do in the first place. I want to change things when I see injustice and wrong things. That's your sister."

Mann thought for a moment and then said:

"Okay, actually you make sense. I'm just a little too worried.

"But since you've already made up your mind, I also have a suggestion for you—never accept becoming an angel, and don't mention to others that I told you this.

"Although they're not listening now, it's hard to say when they'll pay attention."

Chen Yun looked puzzled:

"They?"

Mann said:

"Heaven. Actually, for safety reasons, I shouldn't be saying these words.

"And actually I didn't."

As he said this, he pointed to his constantly closed mouth.

Chen Yun looked surprised:

"This is?"

Mann opened his mouth and said:

"Some words I'm saying to you in your mind. They decided long ago that you would become a Saintess. There will usually be one or two angels near you, watching over you in shifts, and sometimes monitoring what you're doing.

"I shouldn't know these things, so don't say it out loud."

Chen Yun looked enlightened:

"So, I'm actually talking to you with my mind now?"

Mann nodded:

"That's right."

Chen Yun asked:

"Then that's perfect. There's something I didn't really want to say, Mann...

"You just lied, right?"

She was asking about the East New State incident.

Mann calmly admitted:

"That's right, but I didn't lie to you."

He was saying that he hadn't done anything bad.

Chen Yun looked at her younger brother with a smile:

"Don't worry, I believe you. This is also very interesting. The past you wouldn't have this kind of worry.

"I'm just simply asking you a question."

Her purpose in asking this was very practical. Since this was true, then after entering the Church's supernatural system, she would have to pay attention to finding a way to completely erase the traces of this matter, so as to avoid other problems between Mann and the Church.

This was one of the many things she wanted to do after truly joining the Church. The current Mann had already had some friction with them. If she was in it, she could also find a way to slowly resolve it, so as to prevent him from worrying about the angels coming to make trouble again.

Obviously, Heaven possessed violence that was superior to Mann's.

Mann continued:

"Then you should also pay attention and don't lose contact with me."

Chen Yun promised:

"Of course.

"Then there's only the last question. Has this matter been resolved?"

Mann said:

"Not yet, but I already have clues. It's only a matter of time to solve it.

"But this is my own business."

Chen Yun didn't ask any further after seeing his eyes. Mann wouldn't tell her any details of this matter.

He did obtain clues—just when he was distracted.

The last scene Mann saw when he walked into that memory was the black devil burning the parchment to ashes. In his original expectation, he would see Bishop Fu obtaining these false evidences there, but unfortunately, he only saw a strange hellish creature.

That wasn't a memory of a supernatural event, but an obstacle that was born when he went to the target memory, and it completely destroyed the destination itself. That devil with strange eyes wasn't an independent mental entity, but a kind of mechanism that was created.

The person who left this obstacle had long anticipated that he might invade Bishop Fu's head through telepathy and memory erasure, and would try to find information related to him in it, and the other party had also prepared enough countermeasures.

He was being targeted.

Without a doubt, this was coming towards him.

Someone was attacking him through the Church, and they had prevented him from investigating in advance. This didn't explain anything. Now it wasn't difficult to know what type of abilities he had. Even the Church could easily find the Saint Sword of the Encloser that could restrict him.

This was the inevitable result of ability users' information being exposed. This was also why Mann had always kept a low profile—in fact, he was still doing this now. This was also why the Church couldn't do anything to him at all.

Because they were still underestimating themselves.

This was also why Mann didn't really fight the angels. If he wanted to, he could indeed gently suppress them, but unless he really wanted to tear his face with the Church, he wouldn't be able to kill them, and that would mean continuing to expose his abilities to the outside world.

Doing so was tantamount to digging his own future grave with his own hands.

Besides, doing so might make others realize that he possessed an unusually large number of abilities. The number he had displayed so far was already uncommon, but at least there were similar examples to be found. If he continued like this, it would be difficult to explain.

Secondly, it might also cause others to increase their vigilance against him. Tonight's battle would lead to such an effect. If anyone still wanted to make trouble for him, they certainly wouldn't come with a weapon like the Encloser again.

And that meant the next enemy to come looking for trouble would definitely not be so easy to deal with—assuming they could even manage it.

And Mann wouldn't underestimate the Federation that had imprisoned Shenxiao, even if it was just a part of them.

The moment Mann saw the scene in Bishop Fu's mind, he immediately knew who was behind it all. It could only be those Federation politicians who disagreed with Shadow's handling of the remaining members of the Savior Alliance, and what they were doing wasn't 'targeting him'.

Even though he was currently in the gray area of the contract, directly doing so was not feasible. Therefore, what they were doing must be 'targeting those former Savior Alliance members who were still resisting.' And according to the content of the contract, they couldn't directly target him.

Mann naturally assumed that this was how they were doing it. Like Shadow, they had also asked one or more 'mercenaries' to carry out this task, and he definitely didn't belong directly to the Federation.

Moreover, judging from the fact that he was able to find him, there was only a very small chance that the mercenary had personally found Mann. It was more likely that the Federation already knew that he was the one working for Shadow in the Eastern Federation and had informed him of this.

He was now dancing on the edge of a knife, and he couldn't directly attack the Federation politicians yet.

But he could find the people they had commissioned through those politicians.

This act of self-defense would not violate the contract drawn up by the Balancer, and he could also ask others who were not members of the Savior Alliance to do this, like Shadow and the Federation politicians—for example, Level 0 employees.

He was now walking in the gray area.
