I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 19 19. Memories (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Ma En sat contentedly in the armchair, the locked safe just to his side, though he had no interest in its contents.

Because he was about to be discharged from the hospital.

Click.

Xu Wen pushed the door open and walked in:

"Sorry, I've been a bit busy lately."

"It's fine," Ma En was in a very good mood.

The young doctor walked behind his desk, sorted through the documents in his hand, and then smiled at Ma En:

"There's news about your discharge, it should be settled next week."

Ma En's expression paused.

But Xu Wen hadn't finished speaking:

"However, due to the issue with Lü Yide, all the other members of your mutual aid group will have to change their treatment plans, possibly requiring two more injections, but they have no side effec..."

"Are you playing me?" Ma En asked, his face cold.

Xu Wen quickly explained:

"Really, your discharge is already on the schedule, I can find the documents for you to see..."

Ma En narrowed his eyes slightly:

"A new treatment plan, right before I'm discharged? If I were you, I'd take this opportunity to get rid of me, do you think I'd believe you?"

Xu Wen shrugged nonchalantly:

"I've done my best, or you can talk to the院长 yourself, but I don't think he'll readily agree to a mental patient's request."

Ma En looked puzzled and said:

"Don't you understand?

"If you're not willing to help me with the discharge procedures, I can always switch to a new doctor."

Xu Wen put away his smile:

"You know, threats that can't be realized only reveal your fear.

"I know how the Viktor Sanatorium operates, patients can't attack doctors, and by the same logic, I can't attack you, why be so afraid?"

Ma En leaned back comfortably in his chair.

He knew the rules, so simple threats were useless.

He said unhurriedly:

"That's the point, I have a way to bypass that rule and kill you, I already want to do it, but I don't have time to waste, you don't understand why I need to leave.

"Either I get discharged smoothly today, or..."

Xu Wen stared at Ma En's face the entire time.

But he didn't see any traces of fear or worry.

"Actually, I shouldn't be opposing you, Mr. Ma En," the young doctor said, feigning praise, "I was almost going to back down, but there's still a problem, first of all, I'm not afraid of death, and secondly...

"You can't kill me, maybe you can flatten this body's head, tear apart its heart, but none of it matters.

"Because I'm not Xu Wen."

Ma En raised his hand.

A coin slid out of his pocket and floated in front of Xu Wen.

He snapped his fingers.

Immediately, the coin turned into imperceptible metallic dust.

"You mean," Ma En asked, "even if I turn your whole body into powder, you won't die?"

Xu Wen's smile froze.

But he quickly recovered:

"You can't even touch me, if a 능력자 like you really had a way to kill me, you wouldn't be able to resist doing it."

Now Xu Wen was grateful that he had met him at the Viktor Sanatorium, if it weren't for being here, he wouldn't have had any chance to gain the upper hand in front of him.

In other circumstances, he would have definitely let Ma En be discharged, but Xu Wen knew he had no way out.

Xu Wen wore a victor's smile:

"You don't have to worry, what I'll do to you won't be more terrible than death."

In fact, this sentence was also a reflection of himself.

If Ma En really had the ability to kill himself, the final outcome wouldn't be more terrifying than falling into the Company's hands, so what reason was there not to gamble?

Ma En shook his head:

"It seems you've made your choice."

Secondary measures were useless.

Putting himself in Xu Wen's shoes, there was no way he would risk opposing him without hatred or benefit, which meant there must be some reason he didn't understand driving the other party.

He really couldn't kill Xu Wen.

But as the young doctor had once said, there were more than just the two of them with abilities in this hospital.

The key to the final countermeasure was to leave no trace.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked.

Knock, knock.

"Is Dr. Xu here?" Liu Yujun's voice came from outside the door.

She pushed the door open and walked in, looking at Xu Wen with urgency:

"Dr. Xu, I have something to tell you."

After speaking, Dr. Liu glanced at Ma En, hinting that it wasn't appropriate to say it in front of him.

Xu Wen stood up and looked outside the door:

"Ma En, think about it carefully."

After speaking, he walked out, pretending not to believe that Ma En had the ability to deal with him.

Click.

The door was closed by "Dr. Liu."

Ma En stood up.

He walked straight to the safe, not taking out the "lock pick" Li Fen had given him, but casually raising his hand.

After a series of complex mechanical operations.

The lock opened.

The inside of the safe was divided into three layers.

The bottom layer was filled with two piles of gold bars, several black bags, and other hard currency, the middle layer contained several stacks of bank cards, a will that had never been used, and some odds and ends.

And the top layer held a notebook alone.

Ma En took it down, closed the safe door, and returned to his seat to browse through it.

The first thing he saw were Dr. Li's transaction records, and as he read on, Ma En's name gradually appeared, along with evaluations of each client.

Dr. Li's earliest impression seemed to be "a young man with an unknown source of money", and he mentioned that transactions with such clients should be handled with caution.

Then, Ma En suddenly noticed that nearly a third of the transactions had his name on them, with a total amount of nearly 100 million, several times more than all the other patients combined.

It seemed they weren't just ordinary clients and doctors, but some kind of closer cooperative relationship.

After the transaction records were a dozen pages of blank space, followed by a page of warnings.

This content was basically aimed at doctors, and most of it was ordinary advice, but there were several potentially special items mixed in.

"If any doctor sees this, and I am already dead, please remember the following.

Do not use violence against patients, doctors should not enter the intensive care unit between 3:00 and 4:00 AM (except for overtime), do not offend a patient named Ma En, do not contact the院长..."

He finally turned to the last page.

"Hypnosis treatment will be performed this afternoon, may the almighty Returner bless me and allow the treatment to be completed smoothly."

Suddenly, Ma En turned to look out the window.

A black figure cut through the dull air and fell heavily towards the ground.

He got up and walked to the window.

"He was not only too greedy," Ma En heard his own voice, "but also had no respect for danger, don't make the same mistake."

Dr. Li, lying in the garden, was staring at the spot where Ma En was now standing with unseeing eyes.

His face was full of unwillingness.

Ma En closed his eyes, banishing the surging memories from his mind.

As he reopened his eyes, the scene outside the window returned to its usual tranquility and peace.

Ma En's fingers gently brushed the side of the notebook, letting the last few pages of paper and his memories disappear with the wind.
