I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Ma En raised his hand, controlling his telekinesis to gently circle his body, then stirred the surrounding area with the ferocity of a storm, freely moving and flowing within the containment room, yet without touching any of the objects inside.

A sense of coordination gradually arose in Ma En's heart, as if someone accustomed to a wheelchair had suddenly stood up, regaining strong legs, and only at this moment could he recall what it felt like to stand on his own two feet.

The moment he left the mind-enhancing device, he felt his mental power suddenly become stronger, but this situation was completely different from his initial expectations. He had expected to use the device to find his past memories, but he found nothing.

Darkness surged in and out like a tide, and then his mental power was elevated to the limit of Rank IV.

Could it be that he misunderstood? Was the function of this thing to strengthen his abilities? Was this another gift from Shenxiao? Did she allow this machine to lock onto his strongest mental power in advance and prepare a "secondary" permanent enhancement?

But there were many unreasonable aspects to this, which reminded Ma En of his state when he took off his mental armor. At that time, he was almost forcibly pushed out, and his consciousness was still quite blurred, which was why he almost fell to the ground.

It seemed that there was a more reasonable explanation than enhancement.

"Qin Lan, how long was I in there just now?" Ma En asked the Control Bureau.

"About half a minute," Qin Lan immediately replied. "I've been monitoring you and the machine, and there's nothing abnormal."

This made Ma En fall into deep thought. He had several vague guesses in his mind, but no matter what he thought, he probably had no way to answer his current doubts except to find Shenxiao and ask her directly.

However, there was also good news today, and that was that his mental power had reached IV-5.

In Ma En's view, this ability was much more important than the "divine power" he originally wanted to obtain. When it was at Rank III, this ability showed considerable terrifying strength, and it was also extremely comprehensive and flexible.

This ability alone could allow him to reach a strength second only to the limit in many aspects of the same rank, such as close combat, ranged attacks, speed, and defense, as well as give him useful special abilities such as flight and filtering poisonous gas.

And although telekinesis seemed to be inferior to the single ability of Shenxiao's blood in terms of ultimate strength, that was only because Ma En used to need to ensure that all aspects had a certain strength in battle, which was not a mandatory requirement.

In other words, if he had a divine body, he wouldn't have to pay special attention to his defense, and the telekinesis saved wouldn't disappear out of thin air, but could be invested in other aspects, which was the strength of telekinesis—flexibility.

And if he wanted to, he could completely invest all his telekinesis in one aspect, such as using all his telekinesis for attack or all for increasing speed. In this case, it could exert the ultimate strength of IV-5.

This was a bit like the super-enhanced version of the Gula magic armor he wore when fighting Ivani, and it covered more aspects. And whether this was a coincidence or not, this ability seemed to perfectly suit him, who possessed the Control Bureau.

Because no matter what shortcomings the ability he obtained through the Control Bureau had, he could make up for it with telekinesis. This feature of being able to cooperate with other abilities made this ability effective in most cases.

Most importantly, telekinesis was only the main body of "mental power", but this abnormal ability not only included telekinesis, but also included resistance and adaptability to various mental influences, and could also strengthen his resistance to mental attacks.

And the most important thing was that it could strengthen resistance through adaptation. Although he didn't regain his memory as he originally expected, the strengthening of mental power might indirectly achieve this goal. In any case, it was a step towards restoring his memory.

But these were not the most important things.

It should be known that the Abnormal Control Bureau had requirements for those who bore the characteristics when using the characteristics. Most other employees could not permanently maintain the ability of a higher level for a long time. They needed to rest occasionally during use, and the use of abilities of the same level was not unlimited.

Although Ma En's ability in this regard was far stronger than ordinary employees, it also had a limit. Long-term use of Rank IV abilities could only be maintained at around three. The use of Rank V abilities could only be maintained for a short moment. This was only determined when he killed the Moon God, and it was only for a fleeting moment, and it was still a heavy burden on his body.

But all of this was under the premise that he himself was a Rank III-5 ability user.

And now he was a Rank IV-5 ability user, which meant that maybe he could use more Rank IV abilities, and if there was a chance to use Rank V abilities, it would definitely not be as difficult and short as it was then.

If Shenxiao was preparing for this, then many of the doubts in his heart seemed to become much more reasonable.

Thinking like this, Ma En walked out of the containment room.

"How is it?" Qin Lan stood outside the door looking at him. "Did you get any useful information?"

Ma En replied:

"I didn't get much information. This thing was probably pushed in front of me by your sister using her ability, and it slightly improved my combat ability. I also got some predictions. I think she may want us to look for Rank V abnormal power.

"So we will keep the original plan unchanged, and I will continue to lurk in the Federation.

"But I hope you can start preparing for the 'Ocean Artifact' and 'Titan Relic' projects, and ensure that we always have enough regular members to call upon. I think maybe the opportunity is right in front of us."

Qin Lan nodded heavily. Now she almost unconditionally trusted Ma En.

Ma En then asked:

"How is the work in the Northern Federation going?"

Qin Lan replied:

"They have secretly contacted some of the Armistice Alliance that have ceased fighting, and they also have news of the remaining rebels. If you want to contact them directly, you can, but they are still trying to minimize the possibility of leaks."

Ma En nodded:

"Well, let them also be ready at any time..."

But just as he said this, he suddenly heard his voice become hoarse, words and phrases were difficult to form sentences, dizziness and stinging rushed to his head at the same time, and the scene in front of him was gradually blurring.

Colorful and incomprehensible hallucinations began to climb onto his retina, covering the original world, and in the illusion he vaguely saw the complex threads and traces in front of him. They grew and gathered in interweaving tangles, as if repairing something.

Then, suddenly, like withered trees sprouting in spring, the memory of Cao Yan...

...was resurrected in Ma En's mind.
