I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Eastern Federation, Golden Banyan State.

The morning sun spilled through the curtains onto the young woman's face. She furrowed her brow slightly, then turned over and tugged at the blanket, but the warmth still lingered on her back. Then, a few seconds later…

Chen Yun drowsily opened her eyelids, then yawned, dragging her heavy body down. Driven by almost instinctive awareness, she put on her slippers, walked out of the bedroom door, through the corridor, and then reached out and opened the bathroom door, stepping inside.

But when the woman stood in front of the mirror, there was no trace of drowsiness left in her eyes.

After a simple wash, Chen Yun returned to the bedroom, looking refreshed.

She skillfully sat down at her desk, reached out and spread out several commonly used books and notebooks, and at the same time deftly turned on the computer in front of her, accurately entering a website that ordinary people would never log into.

Seeing that Ma En was still in a wanted state on it, Chen Yun felt a little relieved.

He hasn't been found yet.

Then she began to browse the dark web, and in conjunction with the paper materials beside her, collected various needed memories, and casually recorded short words and phrases that could represent her thoughts in a notebook, and no one other than her could understand the contents above.

Chen Yun kept most of the important ideas in her mind.

Understanding the world is the prerequisite for changing the world. She didn't develop this habit after Ma En was wanted. She had started trying to collect useful information through various methods very early on—starting after You Yue passed away.

What she wanted to get, for ordinary people without status, there were actually no particularly efficient channels to get it.

When she was a child, she did this purely out of resistance to You Yue's death. In the face of the cold reality, she couldn't actually do anything useful. As she grew older, she slowly became better at handling and accepting the fact that her friend had died.

Later, when she first started working, she also had to bear the living expenses for herself and Ma En, followed by treatment costs. Out of gratitude for the church's subsidies, she also began to devote a lot of time to work, and usually only had very little free time.

At that time, she would still spend some time every day looking for the possibility of truly curing Ma En's mental problems, and seize all the vacation time to go to various parts of the Federation to verify whether it was worth believing, but at that time she didn't find anything really useful.

The Victor Sanatorium was already one of the best mental problem treatment institutions in the world. If they couldn't solve the problem with Ma En, then it would be basically impossible to find anyone who could be of any use.

Then Ma En was discharged from the hospital.

After that, Chen Yun prepared to wait for him to come back, but in fact, when she heard Ma En's first phone call, she had already had some premonition that things were heading in the wrong direction. If it wasn't out of trust in her younger brother, she might have already become restless.

And the final result also confirmed her premonition. Ma En became a wanted criminal, and almost at the same time, the senior clergy in her original church had accidents, and Bishop Ding also lost his life in a sudden fire.

Considering that Bishop Ding had asked her to leave Eastern New State in advance at that time, and the look and tone he had when he urged her, Chen Yun didn't actually think it was a fire. Ma En had asked her on the phone whether she believed in the existence of supernatural powers.

Of course she believed.

At that time, she had many doubts and incomprehension about You Yue's death, and the results obtained after the investigation didn't quite match the physical laws she was familiar with. Before the clues were cut off, Chen Yun had suspected that there were some things around them that were not so easy to explain.

Moreover, she was a believer.

Since God exists, there must be devils in the mortal world, right?

You know, the doctrine has clearly stated that humans and heaven have a common enemy, a group of demons with extraordinary powers that really exist in hell, and Chen Yun doesn't think that it was a terrorist organization that killed Bishop Ding and her other colleagues.

No terrorist organization would dare to do this.

Therefore, after that, Chen Yun was investigating and understanding the two incidents of Ma En being wanted and the church being attacked, and according to the reasons given by the Federation, Ma En's wanted order portrayed him as a dangerous armed personnel who would launch terrorist attacks.

Perfectly matching.

Was Ma En possessed by a demon?

This was Chen Yun's earliest thought. It is said that many mental problems stem from the possession of demons and devils.

But after reading a large number of scriptures and books, and asking professionals, she basically ruled out this possibility. Ma En's performance before being admitted to the hospital did not match any description of demon possession, which also made Chen Yun breathe a sigh of relief.

He should have nothing to do with Bishop Ding's accidental death.

After confirming these situations, Chen Yun basically had no way to speculate on Ma En's situation. She also tried to ask the federal civil servants who issued the wanted order, but with her identity, she obviously wouldn't get any meaningful answers.

Having reached this point, she basically couldn't do anything else, and Chen Yun didn't want to do so, because based on her understanding of Ma En, doing so might lead Ma En to try to contact her, and she didn't know whether this would lead Ma En to be exposed to federal surveillance.

She couldn't take this risk.

After figuring these things out, all she could do for Ma En was to check his safety every day.

Therefore, she shifted her focus to other places.

Chen Yun sorted out the materials and documents, and then changed into a formal senior pastor's robe—this identity was not essentially different from her past one in terms of doctrine, but it meant that she had to shoulder more responsibility.

In fact, it meant that she was closer to the management of the church.

This is what Chen Yun did in Golden Banyan State after learning that Ma En was wanted.

After learning the news of Bishop Ding's death, Vice Bishop Fu of the financial district warmly invited her to stay here, and Chen Yun also made this choice, and participated more actively in its more important affairs than in the past.

She didn't do this before because she felt that she was not ready and did not have the corresponding qualifications.

But now Chen Yun couldn't think so much anymore. She knew very well what she needed now—a position and "power" that could make the Federation open its mouth to her, and even conduct negotiations and trade-offs.

Even if the church has never admitted it, Chen Yun still believes that the high-level identity of the church has power.

The result was that she was promoted to senior pastor in a short period of time.

Moreover, Chen Yun suspected that this was just the beginning. Recently, Vice Bishop Fu seemed to be subtly implying that she would continue to be promoted. If this continued, she would become the vice bishop of Golden Banyan State. Maybe in a few years, she could really become someone who was important in the federal society.

This also gave Chen Yun a glimmer of hope.

Chen Yun left her residence and walked towards the church. The place where she lived now was very close to the church. This rental house was also recommended to her by the church, and the price was slightly cheaper than in the same location.

She came to the church wearing her "work clothes".

As soon as Chen Yun walked in, a young pastor saw her, and then he immediately walked towards Chen Yun.

"Sister Yun." The young boy's face still had the immaturity of a student. "Vice Bishop Fu wants to talk to you about that matter."

Chen Yun nodded slightly to him:

"I know, Xiao Pu."

Ye Pu had a hesitant expression on his face, wanting to say something to this senior, but couldn't say it for some reason.

Seeing his obvious expression, Chen Yun very considerately took the initiative to ask:

"What's wrong?"

Ye Pu opened his mouth and said:

"Are you going to have dinner with that Mr. Mo."

Chen Yun nodded:

"He insisted on inviting me."

Ye Pu quickly asked:

"Doesn't the bishop care about this kind of thing?"

Chen Yun said with a smile:

"Did you hear something?"

Ye Pu nodded heavily:

"I heard that he has a lot of romantic rumors."

The Mr. Mo mentioned by the boy was a devout and wealthy believer who converted to the Holy Church more than ten years ago, and has been continuously and generously making donations of all sizes. Recently, he plans to pay for and cooperate with the church to build several welfare facilities, and she was assigned to this project.

This is also the most important job that Chen Yun accepted, but in fact, this matter is quite simple, and basically everything has been decided. All she has to do is go through the motions, and then wait for promotion.

This actually makes her a little ashamed, but it doesn't count for anything compared to Ma En's safety.

But just recently, this young and promising rich man named Mo Jiangwen strongly proposed to meet with Chen Yun in a high-end western restaurant and discuss this matter in detail.

Of course, the method of expression of this young and promising rich man was quite euphemistic. He only mentioned that he wanted to discuss the matter of increasing donations when Chen Yun and him had dinner together, but everyone could see his determination on this matter.

Not only was his attitude very gentle, but based on Mo Jiangwen's past performance, even if Chen Yun refused, the donation he had promised would not be affected in any way. His reputation in all aspects was particularly good.

In other words, whether facing the church or Mo Jiangwen, she could normally refuse this proposal.

Chen Yun said with some amusement:

"Don't worry, I'm just having a meal."

Ye Pu said nervously:

"I heard that he is interested in you. He has used similar methods to pursue other people before."

Chen Yun deliberately showed a curious expression:

"Then shouldn't I go and see if he meets my standards?"

Hearing this, Ye Pu suddenly turned red, because he realized that he was so anxious that it was indeed a little "abnormal".

Chen Yun changed the subject before he blushed:

"I've also heard his story. Mr. Mo is a very elegant gentleman. If he really wants to get to know me, then I'll just meet him. The bishop told us not to discriminate against others.

"Whether they are poor or rich, treat them equally.

"Think about it, if the other party is a donor who is not so wealthy, I would definitely go to the meeting out of emotion for his contribution, so if we change to this Mr. Mo, should we treat him differently?"

These words made the boy forget his embarrassment just now, and then showed a look of shame:

"Sister Yun is right."

But in fact, Chen Yun's words were not entirely true.

If it was in a situation without Ma En, she would indeed handle these things like this.

But because of Ma En's existence, she doesn't plan to start a relationship with anyone now, so she should refuse this dinner, but it is precisely because of Ma En's situation that she has to go to the banquet.

"Go back to work." Chen Yun said, "Don't think so much for me, I'm not a child anymore."

After saying this, she brushed past this young child who obviously had some vague feelings for her, walked around in the church for half a minute, and finally opened the bishop's office.

Vice Bishop Fu was a man in his thirties, with obvious traces of exercise on his body. When Chen Yun pushed the door in, he was sitting upright on his office chair, processing work.

"Xiao Yun, you're here." He raised his head enthusiastically, "You should know what I want to talk to you about, right?"

Chen Yun stood opposite him:

"Is it about the donation?"

Vice Bishop Fu nodded:

"That's right, he invited you to have dinner together, right? This guy has invited several church pastors before. I even suspect that the reason why he donates so actively is to get in touch with them.

"But actually, I'm not worried about Mr. Mo. He's a kind and good person. I can see this from his eyes, but he still caused some bad influence on our pastors in the past. Can you guess what's going on?"

Chen Yun had actually heard about these things:

"They didn't resist the temptation, right?"

Vice Bishop Fu smiled:

"That's right, he's a good person, except for being a little romantic.

"And that's the problem.

"You have no reason to reject his pursuit, and that's the most fatal thing. He's also very generous to his girlfriends, so in a short period of time, they will be given gifts that far exceed their lifetime income.

"Then they will break up peacefully one day, and very few of those former pastors who left him are willing to come back to serve God, but most of them are completely fascinated by the colorful world, and coincidentally, they have gained enough wealth in this relationship.

"They can completely leave the church."

Chen Yun said:

"You make it sound like I'm definitely going to fall for him."

Vice Bishop Fu smiled:

"Mr. Mo is young and handsome, and he's also a rich man. He also has a way of dealing with women. Many young women who are pursued by him can't resist these conditions. Of course, you are different…

"You are so beautiful, you must have had no shortage of suitors over the years. Maybe you and him are the same kind of people.

"But I still want to remind you, I'm not against young people's free love, I just hope you don't make the same mistakes as them."

Chen Yun said sincerely:

"Vice Bishop Fu, I will never forget what the church did for me when I was in trouble, and you raised me to where I am now."

Vice Bishop Fu showed a satisfied smile.
