I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

#449 - 440. Preliminary Work

After Mann resolved the assassination attempt from the corporation, the Shu family didn't make any particularly intense moves, as if Mann had no intention of targeting them at all, and the Shu family didn't take it to heart.

Although Selaen was too far away when observing the battle, and he couldn't directly see their fight in the near-mind dimension, he felt that Mann had likely learned that the Shu family was behind it.

Since he possessed Tier V combat power, based on Selaen's understanding of Mann, he was very likely to deduce within that minute who the mastermind behind this matter was, so he felt that the current calm facade was absolutely abnormal, and the Shu family seemed to be operating as usual.

Therefore, Selaen believed that Mann might have already suppressed this matter, and he and his organization behind the scenes had noticed that someone had learned of the incident and was secretly dealing with him.

Although they wouldn't think that this was aimed at the entire organization, Mann would definitely pay more attention to his personal safety, and the organization behind him might allocate more resources to him.

This would also make it not as easy as before to use Mann as a breakthrough point, and if he only looked at these situations, his best choice now would be to stop.

However, he hadn't gained nothing. Among these bad news, there was a sufficient reason for him to finally decide to continue dealing with Mann, which was the power he displayed at that time.

The Tier V ability to control seawater was exactly the same as that of the person he saw in Atlantis.

However, that guy's fighting style was completely different from Mann's, which made this matter a new possibility. Perhaps Mann was a particularly cautious and comprehensive ability user, who would deliberately choose a different fighting style from his usual performance in order to prevent others from realizing his true abilities.

This was actually very reasonable, because Mann was facing him at the time, and he had fought in front of him before. If he hadn't deliberately concealed himself at that time, he would have been able to recognize his identity at a glance with his experience.

This possibility was definitely not good news for him, but this was not the worst-case scenario.

There was an even more terrifying possibility, that Mann and the one he encountered in the seabed were not the same person at all.

This sounded unreasonable at first glance, after all, they both displayed the same ability, but in fact, this was not entirely without reason. After all, the mysterious organization members he encountered in Atlantis all possessed the same ability, and Selaen could see that it was not a special racial ability. They should all be humans.

Although the physical characteristics of the others were particularly vague, making it impossible to distinguish their race visually, Selaen was too familiar with humans and could determine their race without even seeing them.

Moreover, given that they belonged to the same organization, and the significance of this ability to an organization, it was easy to imagine that this might have been given to them by the organization, that is, their members possessed the same ability, and it was likely a characteristic of the organization.

This possibility seemed exaggerated and terrifying, but Selaen had seen countless abnormal entities and phenomena more terrifying than this in his life. Some things, even the most powerful him could only call miracles.

And such a mysterious organization probably couldn't have grown to its current scale without a few good tricks up its sleeve, and this could also well explain why he saw that power in Mann.

Regardless of the situation, it proved that his opponent was quite difficult to deal with. Although his actions had revealed some flaws in Mann, there was still a long way to go before digging out truly valuable secrets.

No matter which situation it actually was, he had to be more careful when dealing with Mann, but he couldn't just do nothing and wait for the Federation's reaction. The Federation couldn't make Mann reveal flaws again in a short period of time, and Mann's cooperation with the Shu family seemed to be in full swing.

Selaen didn't know what that mysterious organization wanted Mann to do this time, but recalling Mann's "glorious deeds," he had a bad feeling that if he let him continue like this, the Shenxiao, who was still trapped in the deep sea, might be able to find a new way out, which was what he least wanted to see.

All known signs indicated that Mann was responsible for matters related to Shenxiao. No matter what he was doing now, it would definitely affect Shenxiao, and Shenxiao was currently in a particularly delicate state.

Even knowing that this mysterious organization had killed a deity, Selaen didn't think their threat was really higher than the Shenxiao Walkers. He ranked this organization ahead for a very simple reason.

This organization was easier to deal with.

If he could do something now to reduce the threat of Shenxiao, then he would have started doing it at the same time. In fact, he had been dealing with Shenxiao not long ago, but he hadn't achieved any results.

After confirming his idea of starting with Mann, Selaen didn't idle around. He first went to Hell to find a group of demons who worshiped one of his avatars and obtained a key prop.

A "living" corpse of an angel.

He also found the technique of controlling corpses in his ancient collection and spent a little time studying it in depth, and asked a powerful entity from another world to perfectly process the corpse, unless he directly grabbed the corpse, even a six-winged angel wouldn't be able to tell that he was dead.

Then, he recalled in his mind the spells he used to disguise his true face when he used to walk among mortals under other identities in the past, and selected some that he could still use now to cooperate with the corpse control technique to ensure that no one could detect that he was controlling the corpse.

Then, he began the second layer of disguise, which was also what angels often did—making the corpse look like a demon. He processed the disguise particularly accurately to the limit that a six-winged angel could achieve, and slightly left some particularly reasonable and necessary flaws.

These were the preliminary preparations he made. It would be best if Mann couldn't detect anything, and even if they really found out about his avatar, which had almost no power, they wouldn't be suspicious.

Because Mann originally had a feud with angels, the angels had every reason to try to kill him, and considering his sister's special identity, they might also act as cautiously as him.

Most importantly, they also had the ability to do these things. That Cherubim happened to be proficient in this.

So, now all that's missing is a suitable candidate.
