I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 306 304. Lingering Sound (4K)

Inside the Bureau of Anomalous Control, Mann had just received a message from Princess Ellie.

Overall, she reported news that was very good for him.

Ellie had recently received a sudden message summoning her back to the royal city, and none of the other spies had received similar messages. According to her speculation, this was likely because the Three Sage Kings were planning to activate a weapon that required the blood of the royal family to be poured into it, and all the royals were required to be present.

The function of this Tier 5 artifact was very special: to grant Atlantean royal blood to outsiders. This could provide the user with a certain amount of power in a short period, but that was not the artifact's main effect.

Granting royal blood was also related to a very important matter, because only those with royal blood could unleash the power of other artifacts. The Three Sage Kings' actions had only one explanation, which she found incredible.

They planned to allow people outside of Atlantis to use artifacts.

Mann had more information about this than Ellie. The reason they were doing this was likely related to the Federation's upcoming plan to deal with them, but he didn't know the specifics yet. Fortunately, it didn't matter to him.

What really mattered was that Ellie had once again asked him about the Bureau's initial promise: if she handed over a Tier 5 item, she could use the power contained within that item for a short period. Mann, pleasantly surprised, gave her an affirmative answer.

This girl, seemingly consumed by worry for her father, seemed to be throwing caution to the wind.

Besides Ellie's message, he had other matters to deal with.

First, Shadow had once again set a time to meet with him. If Mann wasn't mistaken, he would likely learn the specific details of Atlantis after going. However, he had to think about how to act normally so that Shadow wouldn't see through his disguise.

He also needed to make other preparations for this matter.

The main employees of the Bureau had been collecting enough resources everywhere during this period. After acquiring information gathering capabilities, it wasn't difficult for them to find some evil ability users who could be secretly dealt with. After all, there weren't many kind high-level ability users.

Therefore, Mann was already able to use the memory erasure ability on a large scale, but he hadn't given other ability users the opportunity to use it yet.

This memory erasure ability was far stronger than what a mind-reader of the same level could achieve. Even high-level ability users would have to spend far more time than him to achieve a similar effect, and due to its origin, he was also worried about what potential dangers it might bring.

However, the main reason was that there was no need to use large-scale memory erasure yet.

He didn't have any particularly clear arrangements for the main members of the Salvation Alliance. The team led by Feng Shaoying and Lei Yu were undergoing training under Qin Lan's supervision, and were beginning to adapt to using other people's anomalous characteristics to fight.

But Mann didn't have them do anything for the time being. They had to remain idle to ensure that they could face the problems that the Atlantis matter would bring at any time, and if there was an opportunity, he might have them go to Atlantis in the name of rescuing Ellie's father to seize a Tier 5 artifact in the chaos.

This sounded like an almost impossible task, but he knew that it would be equivalent to an opportunity to advance to Tier 5. Mann wouldn't miss any opportunity, and he didn't arrange this because he really thought he had the ability to seize a Tier 5 artifact.

He did this because of Shenxiao's prophecy. There might be an opportunity for him on this path.

On the other hand, the search and rescue of the remnants of the Salvation Alliance was also in full swing. A team composed of the remnants of the Eastern Federation Salvation Alliance had reached the Northern Federation. They were looking for Salvation Alliance members who claimed to be rebels, and had already found some clues.

After Shenxiao's defeat, the Northern Federation had always been the strongest area of the Salvation Alliance. In the negotiations with the Federation, only they and the Southern Federation occupied a relatively active position. Unlike the backward Southern Federation, the situation in the north was more accurately described as chaotic.

That is to say, they didn't have fewer high-level Salvation Alliance members like the Southern Federation, but had a number that matched the low-level members. At the same time, the pressure they faced from the Federation was less than that of their comrades in the east and west, so at first they even gave the Federation a lot of trouble.

Of course, the main reason they were able to successfully launch an effective counterattack against the Federation early on was that the Federation misjudged the specific number of their high-level ability users. They originally thought that the Salvation Alliance members within the Coordination Bureau were the main part of the organization, but Shenxiao actually recruited talents in many places they couldn't see, and developed to a scale close to a first-class force while hiding from the Federation.

In fact, if you look at it from this perspective, the Federation's suspicion of Shenxiao seems to have some rationality, but Mann felt that the causal relationship might be the opposite of what he saw with his own eyes. Shenxiao acted secretly because the Federation forced her to do so.

It was also for this reason that the Federation's pursuit of them didn't go as smoothly as they had originally thought, and they were unwilling to invest excessive resources in it. After all, the Salvation Alliance was just one of their countless actions against Shenxiao, and they would only provide less investment than the return.

If the Federation really wasted important resources and opportunities for them, then maybe that was the result the Salvation Alliance wanted to see the most, but even so, they could only end with a truce, and this was mainly because the other three regions besides the Northern Federation had declined.

In fact, the Southern Federation and the Northern Federation, where he was located, had occupied a considerable advantage, but later Mann was forced to kill the Moon God, which led to the disappearance of the Moon Veil that all members of the Southern Federation had worked hard to complete during that time. Otherwise, the Federation would not have been able to do anything about them in a short time.

In fact, as long as Mann wanted to, relying on the Bureau of Anomalous Control itself would definitely achieve a much better effect than the Moon Veil, and with his help, they would definitely be able to stalemate with the federal government in the Southern Federation for a long time, and he might even have the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

It's just that Mann didn't intend to do this in the first place, not to say that he didn't support Shenxiao and the Salvation Alliance, after all, they were fighting against the doomsday that would destroy all life, and he didn't think there would be a good ending if he watched from the sidelines.

It's just that he felt that being outside the vortex was more conducive to achieving his goals. After signing the contract, the Salvation Alliance might lose the ability to continue resisting, but for the Bureau, he would only get enough space to take truly meaningful actions.

Placing himself in the vortex was taking unnecessary risks. If he hadn't been dragged into it by an "accident", he would probably have helped the Salvation Alliance from outside this vortex, because this was actually more efficient in any case.

He wouldn't regard so-called self-sacrifice or adventure as useful things. If he had to take risks, he naturally wouldn't hesitate, just like when facing the Moon God, he didn't think about hiding in the Bureau of Anomalous Control, that was just chronic suicide.

He would do this not because of the risks involved, but because of the rewards behind it.

So Mann had some doubts in his mind. His meeting with Shenxiao at that time was obviously in line with her feeling, even if she didn't know what he was going to do at that time, but her actions were definitely pushing the future in the direction she expected more.

The underground world's message alone may not be able to confirm it, but her appearance when she met Hong Yuan had completely proved what he thought about her at that time, but if that was the case, the problem would come.

In that case, she might have recruited herself into the Salvation Alliance because she had a premonition. Mann didn't think she already knew the disasters that the Salvation Alliance members were going to encounter at that time, and she was obviously not targeting herself.

But the problem is that in Mann's opinion, it was hard to say that being involved at that time was a good thing, and it was quite obvious to him. He could have lost his life when he met the Moon God, and even if he got the prophecy, it wasn't a stable battle.

With the Bureau of Anomalous Control, his speed of improvement in the dark would definitely be higher than on the surface, and if he really died accidentally and let this thing fall into the hands of others, then it would obviously not be a good thing for her and the world.

He wasn't saying that he was noble. If he had Shenxiao's ability, he probably wouldn't want to fight like her, but it seemed that the moral standards of those ability users who could potentially affect the world were almost lower than his.

In other words, he and Shenxiao had different views on this, and he was very sure about his views after careful consideration.

There may be several reasons for the difference between them. The easiest to think of and the least likely is naturally that Shenxiao deliberately calculated him. Mann didn't think this was something to worry about at all. He only put it forward out of the most basic respect for Shenxiao's power.

So he immediately skipped this idea, and then several new possibilities came to him. Among them, the most reasonable and realistic reason was that Shenxiao could only do this.

First of all, her ability itself has a limit, and she said when she first met herself that she was affected by the Unforgettable, and the Moon God also has a similar ability, so she may not be able to see the future completely.

And this led to her misjudgment.

Then the more ideal reason is that she sees much farther than herself. In fact, she has already calculated the future much farther now. From that time node, being involved in the Salvation Alliance may be a better result.

If combined with the prophecy of her blood, maybe this is her way to let herself contact the Federation and the conspiracy of the two gods, but in fact Mann felt that if he hadn't joined the Salvation Alliance, he would probably have joined the Federation and slowly eroded this giant organization, after all, he just wanted to get a strong enough organization to protect him when he joined the Salvation Alliance.

And in Mann's current view, if he did this, it would definitely be better than this situation. Maybe he is already the most trusted young genius in the Investigation Department by Shadow or someone, and with his memory erasure ability, he is not afraid that the Bureau will be exposed.

To think about it simply, the things that he could have done without attracting attention should have been countless times now. The Bureau is so difficult to defeat that its weakness is its owner himself.

Shenxiao should have had many better choices.

He also thought that Shenxiao might have done this in order to make himself stand on the same side as her. When he had just lost his memory, it was indeed difficult for him to say whether he was good or bad. At that time, he might have felt that Shenxiao was worried that he would become bad.

But after meeting Chen Yun, Mann was already sure that he would not change like that - his sister gave him the promise that he would always be a good person, and purely out of her understanding of himself rather than personal feelings.

And Mann also felt that even if he hadn't joined the Salvation Alliance, he would have stood with Shenxiao sooner or later.

So none of these possibilities are very convincing.

In other words, Shenxiao did this for some special reason that he didn't know, and it obviously seemed that doing so was not conducive to saving the world. Under the premise that he still believed in Shenxiao, he could only prove one thing.

Shenxiao did this for a reason he hadn't seen yet.

What is it that he hasn't noticed...

Mann suddenly surprisingly realized that his thinking speed was gradually slowing down, as if his brain was flowing out along the suddenly appearing cracks, and it took him several seconds to accept the information returned by his five senses.

But he could realize his situation, because the slowness did not completely erode his entire body, they seemed to stop at a certain boundary between his soul and body, and this also allowed him to think about what was going on.

In a difficult pause, he slowly understood that something was erasing his memory, and then his thoughts began to scatter uncontrollably, and all kinds of thoughts were constantly pouring out like ribbons.

This situation may not be the first time. If he had encountered it before, he would not remember it, but what is the key reason why he still has the ability to resist now, is it because he is now in the Bureau, or because his spirit has resistance?

No! No, this is not what he should do!

But what should he do?

Mann stared blankly at the panel floating in front of him, trying his best to run his thoughts. He could feel that he was infinitely close to the answer, but it was like隔着层transparent film, he couldn't really touch the ethereal thoughts.

Then he raised his trembling right hand and moved his fingers meaninglessly like an old man who was about to die.

At the same time, a few words appeared on the panel.

[Unforgettable]

At this moment, his peripheral vision suddenly caught something standing beside him, and that thing was several times the size of a normal adult. Just as Mann wanted to find some useful information on him, he found that size was the only information he could get.

Then, he watched helplessly as the five words on the panel were slowly erased.

Just like his memory.
