I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

"Hmm, so those two sets of memories are actually several years apart," Mann said thoughtfully.

Seri was sitting directly across from him, with an open laptop on the table:

"Yes, so for you it was just a brief moment, but for me it was two years."

Their mutual confession on the balcony and the angel's attack on You Yue were not just a matter of minutes in her eyes. The experiences that Mann and she had truly shared were scattered in different times in her memory.

Mann said gently:

"No, you've misunderstood.

"It was also two years for me, but we didn't experience it at the same time."

Seri nodded with bright eyes:

"Yes.

"These are my memories of that last period."

She turned the laptop in front of her towards Mann.

He couldn't directly see the memories in Seri's mind, but that didn't mean they didn't exist. If that was the case, he could try to obtain them in other ways.

Mann looked at the screen.

Good, it wasn't a blank slate.

The words Seri had typed were not affected by the Unforgettable and turned blank. It was hard to say whether the Unforgettable's influence on him wasn't that strong, or whether he had endured it with the help of resistance.

In any case, the words that the girl had reprocessed were clearly visible in his eyes.

"It seems I can't learn anything about this matter through you," Mann said with some regret. "But it's okay, at least it proves that our ideas are correct."

Seri couldn't provide any meaningful information about You Yue's death, which was likely the most inaccurate part of her entire memory.

The girl comforted Mann:

"We will definitely find the truth.

"It's been more than ten years, we're not in a hurry.

"Before that, let's first find a way to help you remember the past. I'll first write down the information I think is important in brief, and then write it down in detail. Besides, this is actually a good thing for me."

To be honest, Seri was still quite confused.

If it weren't for Mann's existence, she might have started to wonder if she was real or not, and might have even fled to the outside world in self-doubt to let the Moon God replace her consciousness.

After all, it's not normal to trust others easily in this situation.

But Mann's existence allowed her to accept these terrible realities more gently.

In fact, after talking to the grown-up Mann, Seri had also been suspicious and worried about him, but the more she thought about it, the less she doubted Mann, because she not only grew up with Mann.

Most importantly, she also came from Mann's mind—just like the reason he believed in her.

The decisive reason why Mann could believe in her was that he actually came from his imagination of beauty, and the reverse was also true. Seri knew very well what kind of person she was—this was the only real thing for her.

And Seri, who knew her nature well, could also see in reverse what kind of person Mann, who would imagine her, was.

This understanding was beyond language and behavioral communication.

But even with Mann's existence, it was impossible for her to figure out how to live. Recording Mann and her past could not only help him recall, but also allow Seri to slowly figure out who she was.

She came from these memories.

"Is there anything else you want?" Mann asked.

Seri looked towards the door:

"When can I go out for a walk?"

"Anytime." Mann had already thought of the answer before entering this room.

The girl was a little surprised:

"Aren't you worried that something will happen to me?"

Mann said:

"No, to be honest, I'm not worried about you at all."

Seri smiled:

"Thank you."

In fact, even if Mann didn't let her leave here, Seri could understand his thoughts. She had personally participated in that battle, so she knew very well that although the final winner was Mann, it was not an easy battle.

Most importantly, this victory was not repeatable.

And if she was reborn on herself, Mann would never have a chance to win her.

But Mann's answer was very straightforward, which made her feel a little warm.

And Mann's reason for doing this was also very simple—it was better this way.

Restricting Seri just because of potential risks was, in his opinion, putting the cart before the horse. He was facing a young girl. If he just locked her in the containment room like this, maybe nothing would happen in a few months, but eventually she would realize that she was a prisoner.

Cages are for monsters. Locking a child inside will only make her feel like a monster.

And for Seri, trust is far more useful than chains.

Mann said:

"Our leader, Qin Lan, has already arranged it. The members of the Salvation Alliance are ready to meet you. They will think you are a new member, but they won't know your true identity. Only Qin Lan and I know that you are the Moon God.

"You need to pay attention to keeping it a secret, and also the things we encountered in the trap. There is no need for them to know about these."

"Qin Lan is the woman who came to see me with you, right?" Seri looked around the environment with some doubt. "You said she is the leader here, but…"

Mann blinked:

"That's right, you have to remember this."

Hearing this, the girl nodded thoughtfully:

"I understand, but I don't understand anything about the Salvation Alliance. My memory only stays in the year you were thirteen. I don't know anything about the things you heard after that, and I may not even know what you knew before that.

"So, remember to tell me in detail what our situation is."

Mann said:

"Then sign this contract."

[Are you willing to become an employee of the Anomaly Control Bureau?]

[Yes/No]

Seri raised her hand and clicked:

"Do they know this name?"

"No." Mann stood up. "Then you don't have to stay here anymore, but sometimes you may have to come back for check-ups. We still have to find a way to safely return you to reality, if successful.

"You will become a Class V Anomaly."

Seri asked without thinking:

"Then can I really help you at that time?"

"Of course." Mann nodded. "If you want to at that time, although our place is not particularly safe, other places in the world are basically more dangerous than here. After all, whether you have power or not, the world is dangerous.

"The world we live in now is not good enough yet.

"But these are still far away for you, it's not too late to think about it then."

Seri said:

"I understand all of this, you have already been very kind to me."

She understood all the reasons Mann said.

But those were not important.

Mann got up and opened the door:

"Come with me."

Outside the door was not a corridor, but another containment room.

And a haggard-looking middle-aged man was lying on the hospital bed, with all kinds of tubes inserted into his body, surrounded by the most advanced equipment from the hospital.

Seri looked at him curiously:

"This is?"

Mann said:

"Since you are already our employee, then I want to arrange a job for you.

"His name is Shen Zhihe, and he was once a Class IV telepath in the Salvation Alliance. Although he never succumbed or gave up fighting, he was eventually completely destroyed by the Moon God, and even I can't do anything about him now.

"I want you to try to heal him, because it was the Upper Moon God who caused this. I think you might be able to do something to him, but this is not a limited-time mission, and it doesn't matter even if you can't heal him.

"Because I and other telepaths have already tried it, this is a very difficult thing. Whether you can succeed only depends on what exactly the Moon God did to him, and whether you happen to be able to heal him.

"We have a considerable amount of time,"

Seri looked at the man lying on the hospital bed in a daze:

"Is the Moon God…"

Mann nodded:

"That's right, and you can also use this to see how the Upper Moon God uses her power on mortals. Don't feel pressured, even if you can't do it now, you can use this to try to understand the Upper Moon God, and deepen your understanding of her and Shen Zhihe's problems.

"Because after you are promoted to Class V, there will definitely be a way to cure him.

"You can understand it as your goal, and you have to slowly control your power for this."

Seri looked at him with a serious expression:

"I will work hard."

She didn't promise anything, but Mann could see her desire.

In fact, he didn't really give her any mission. This was just a treatment that could be started and stopped at any time. Even if Seri didn't do anything, Shen Zhihe, who was in a coma, wouldn't get any worse.

The most important reason he gave it to Seri was of course to expect her to wake him up.

But besides that, it was also because it was a good thing.

Letting a child do good deeds and encouraging her is one of the best ways to educate.

Saving lives itself brings unparalleled sense of accomplishment.

And delving into Shen Zhihe's consciousness can not only let her understand the evil nature of the Upper Moon God, but also feel Shen Zhihe's persistence in kindness and justice, and his sincere affection for his daughter.

Although everyone knows that these pure things are beautiful, thousands of words cannot beat personal experience.

This is what Mann was doing—making Seri a kind deity.

Seeing that Seri had closed her eyes and started to try, Mann slowly withdrew from the containment room.

He still had many other problems to solve.

Seemingly because he killed the Moon God, all the humans who were outside the Anomaly Control Bureau at that time were affected, including the Control Bureau employees who were outside like Ren Shizhi and Shi Daochang. The things they experienced in their minds were completely different from what Mann saw.

Not only were the things related to the Moon God greatly affected, but even these affected memories would produce a chain reaction, causing other less relevant things to be affected in succession.

The real cause of this incident was that the "Moon God" no longer existed, which led to the Federation's original plan becoming only to deal with the Sun God, and the agreement reached with the Salvation Alliance when dealing with the Moon God also disappeared.

Therefore, they had no reason to inform the Salvation Alliance of the dangers of the gods, and say that their actions were against the will of Shenxiao.

It even ultimately led to the members of the Salvation Alliance, who had originally prepared to sign a peace treaty with the Federation, and even jointly dealt with the Moon God not long ago, now returning to a state of still considering.

In addition, the Federation's intelligence also showed that the situation was slowly deviating from the original trajectory.

Shi Daochang withdrew shortly after completing the mission. His situation was special, and being in this position was likely to expose him, and he had no need to stay in the Federation now.

On the one hand, the Moon God was already in their hands, and on the other hand, he didn't need to rely on Shi Daochang to obtain intelligence.

And during this period, Ren Shizhi inexplicably became Wang Yin's deputy, so he was able to collect intelligence more easily than Shi Daochang, and he did not disappoint Mann's expectations.

Just after they killed the Moon God, Ren Shizhi received a list.

There were a total of twelve people on it, and they were all the temporary leaders of the largest Salvation Alliance group in the Southern Federation today.

The Federation required the Investigation Department to have eight of them sign the agreement.

In this way, the Salvation Alliance could be truly disbanded, and all current members of the Salvation Alliance could receive the Federation's promise.

But now eight of them have united, and seem to be quite suspicious and resistant to this ceasefire negotiation, but based on the intelligence Mann had collected before, it seems that they had originally agreed with the Federation.

And the death of the Moon God changed everything.

Was this in Shenxiao's plan?

The prophecy mentioned that the Salvation Alliance should be disbanded smoothly, and replaced in a secret form in the future, which means that the development of the matter before the death of the Moon God was in line with her expectations.

Perhaps the impact caused by the Unforgettable was beyond her prophecy.

If this was the case, then he had to find a way to reverse the situation, because this matter might not only be beneficial to Shenxiao, but it was also obviously a good thing for him.

As for how to do it, it was actually very simple.

The twelve people on the list included Qin Lan.

If he completed this matter at any cost, he could completely use the existence of the Control Bureau to let Qin Lan inform other Salvation Alliance members of the existence of the prophecy. This was the simplest way, although there would be some risks, but it would definitely change their minds.

If all goes well, maybe he and Qin Lan could persuade those eight Salvation Alliance members just by relying on Qin Lan's identity. Although Qin Lan was only a Class III ability user, her unique identity made her words more weighty than anyone else.

Salvation Alliance members who are always suspicious like Shen Zhihe are only a minority.

And just now, they, who no longer needed to be vigilant, contacted the Salvation Alliance members in Gewen Prefecture and learned one thing—not long ago, Hong Yuan invited Qin Lan, hoping to discuss the details of this negotiation with her.

He planned to go to the "banquet" with Qin Lan.
