I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 172 170. Freedom
Lei Yu turned around and walked out of Shadow's office, walking steadily forward, but he didn't notice that the room behind him was collapsing into countless pieces, leaving this world as if being pulled by a black hole.

And he didn't notice that he didn't have any memory of talking to the shadow in his mind at all, nor did he realize that he was just mechanically repeating the movements of raising his legs and taking steps under inertia.

He sat down in a trance, and then the scene in front of him became clearer.

In front of him was a white round table, and sitting opposite him...

is a dead person.

Marne pushed the water glass on the table towards him:
"Do you need a break?"

Puzzle and doubt first appeared in Lei Yu's eyes, then shock and fear flashed in an instant, but it immediately turned into relief and loneliness, because Marne's still alive can only prove one thing - his victory is just unrealistic fantasy.

He closed his eyes and leaned back heavily, and asked wearily and with difficulty:
"You did all that just now. I have fought more than one other telepath before, but your fighting rhythm is completely beyond my expectations. How did you do it?"

But Marne was not interested in explaining to him:

"Maybe it's because you haven't met me before."

Lei Yu narrowed his eyes and said:

"And the hallucination you just created. It is not difficult for you to kill me to that extent, but it is not easy to dig out the secrets in my heart so quietly. Are you really a fourth-order telepath? ?”

Marne could see that what he wanted was a negative answer:

"What did the moon god tell you?"

Lei Yu immediately replied:
"This is valuable information. What do you want to exchange for it?"

The invisible figure was indeed Luna, and the appearance of Shen Zhihe with him could prove to some extent that he had colluded with Luna, but it could not be confirmed that it was Luna alone, and it was true that Ma En It wasn't what he saw in the thunderstorm that pushed his suspicions to the extreme, quite the opposite...

The reason why he dared to test directly was that he didn't see the figure of Luna in Lei Yu's mind at all-but they reached a certain kind of cooperation under such circumstances.

Mane did not answer his question:

"What are you worried about and afraid of?"

Lei Yu froze for a moment:
"what are you saying?"

Mann asked:

"I see the fear in your heart, it seems that you are very afraid of the god who gives you strength, but that feeling is not an instinctive reaction to danger, but some kind of emotion mixed with imagination.

"What you fear doesn't seem to have happened yet."

This passage completely brought the thunderstorm that had just woken up back to reality. He no longer thought about the conversation with Marne, but under the urging of years of actual combat experience, he began to brew the thunder in his body, intending to turn into lightning and try to escape from this place.

Thunderstorm wasn't particularly optimistic, and Marne waking him up meant they weren't afraid to run away by themselves.

But he didn't expect what he was going to face.

silence.

Lei Yu looked at Ma En with puzzled and confused eyes:

"Am I still in the illusion?"

Mann asked repeatedly:

"What are you afraid of?"

Thor supported the table with his hands and stood up, then quickly looked around. Although the arrangement of white walls and simple furniture that caught his eyes was not very common, there was nothing unusual about it.

"Don't be nervous." Ma En comforted me gently, "If you think this is an illusion, we can chat another day, I have plenty of time, and you can slowly verify whether you are in a dream or not.

"But if we are really still in your mind, there is no need for me to ask you directly."

Lei Yu immediately asked back:
"Then why don't you come get it yourself?"

Mann said sincerely:
"Because I don't want to completely destroy your head, this is one of the few things you are instinctively resisting, but I can also imagine what you are worried about. What you are afraid of should be the possibility of Thor escaping the cursed land. It seems to you that it is not in line with the freedom you advocate.

"You know what's going on with them, don't you?"

Apart from the fact that Thunderstorm was contradicting the information, what was more important was that this part of the information was incomplete in his mind, which seemed to be basically the same as the information taken away by the shadow.

Thunderstorm looked surprised:

"You also know?"

His answer proved that the information was still in his mind, but for some reason he couldn't perceive it clearly, and this situation was completely different from what the shadow did to the thunderstorm.

Rather, it resembled the figure he couldn't see.

"You and Luna also talked about it, didn't you?" Ma En asked calmly.

Lei Yu didn't realize at all that Ma En was actually talking routinely:

"Yes, he is using us to escape from the cursed land, and although I am not a good person, I am not a lunatic looking forward to the doomsday. If the gods really gain the status of ruling the world, you and I will have no results. Where will it go.

"Now the gods will give their people power because they have something to ask for, and if the gods really return to the whole world, they will be able to choose their own servants all over the world without any scruples, and our value will be gone.

"And even if I put these aside, I don't want to see human beings ruled by other things, especially after I have seen the situation in the world with my own eyes-now it is the Federation that rules the bright world of this planet, and those so-called God was trapped in the Southern Federation.

"It means that between them and us, we are the winners.

"So why give these losers the chance to challenge us?"

Ma En clapped his hands appreciatively:
"Well said, but you are a child of the gods."

Thunderstorm said:

"It's not something I can choose. Such words are actually not convincing, but you have seen my heart with your own eyes. Although I am unwilling to abandon my own strength, I am also resisting him using us to escape here."

Mann said:

"Then you shouldn't cooperate with Luna."

Thunderstorm said:

"She promised to use complex means to ensure that I can no longer advance Thor's progress, which will also erase my memory, but only the gods can know how to prevent my resistance from turning into his. strength.

"It would be great if they could all stay in this land, but if I had to choose, I would rather be the other gods who escaped from the cursed land first, because he is binding us.

"Then I also asked directly...

"Are you trying to prevent them from leaving the Confederacy too?"

But Ma En's answer made him a little unbelievable:
"You think we want the gods to stay in the Confederacy safe and sound until someday in the future they get a chance to escape the cursed land?

"No, what we have to do is to completely eliminate the threat of the gods to us."

Ma En met his shocked eyes and said:

"By the way, you said that you don't want to be manipulated by Thor...

"But don't you realize that you are no longer bound?"
