I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Ma En turned around in astonishment.

Standing behind Ma En was a young woman he had never seen before, and only then did Ma En suddenly realize that he had been seeing this unfamiliar figure all along, but he just hadn't paid attention to it.

It was as if he hadn't been able to realize that this was an obvious illusion when he had just woken up.

When Ma En turned to look at the glass again, there was no more hazy white mist. Standing outside the glass was an amorphous, twisted black shadow, exuding a ferocious and evil aura.

And the ones being controlled were not Chen Yun and You Yue, but two faceless corpses.

The black shadow also had no face.

Then Ma En suddenly noticed a neglected detail—there was a passage of text on the glass of the containment room that was extremely familiar to him. The moment he saw the text, he even had the illusion that the other party was the one locked inside.

What exactly is this thing?

"You have to leave here forever," the woman who Ma En mistook for Qin Lan said, "and never come back, so it won't have a chance to invade our reality and destroy the remaining world."

Ma En asked:

"Where is this?"

The woman looked into Ma En's eyes:

"This is here."

Understanding, Ma En then asked:

"So you and the smiley face man I met in the mind world last time are in the same group? You are the residual power of the Unforgettable Ones in my brain?"

Faced with his question, the woman just smiled:

"We are doing this for your own good."

Ma En asked:

"Why?"

The woman raised her finger and pointed behind Ma En:

"See that? This is what you will face if you stay here. Some things are so terrifying that just seeing them is enough to cause the most terrible damage, and you may have misunderstood…"

"Forgetting may not be a problem that needs to be solved. On the contrary, it may be your protector."

Ma En calmly looked at her:

"Maybe, but I haven't seen enough evidence. In my opinion, you are just the residual power of the Unforgettable Ones in my body, and according to the information I have now, they are not exactly friendly."

"If you are not lying, then convince me."

The woman looked at the shadow and said:

"If you don't believe me, you can try to go in."

"I don't plan to stop you."

Ma En also turned around without hesitation and walked towards the door of the containment room, seemingly not afraid of the terrifying black shadow waiting for him outside, and the woman didn't seem to really intend to stop him.

Click.

He pushed the door open.

"You are no match for it," the woman said with a smile from inside the containment room behind the door, looking at Ma En.

Outside the door was not a corridor at all.

Ma En walked into the exact same containment room as before:

"It seems you have trapped me here."

The woman replied:

"No, you can still choose to leave."

Ma En walked to the position in front of the glass without any haste, sat down cross-legged in a leisurely manner, looked up at the black shadow standing outside, and showed a curious expression:

"So, what are you? A partner she brought to scare me?"

The black shadow raised something that looked like a finger and gently tapped the text on the glass, as if questioning Ma En if he couldn't read.

But Ma En was not embarrassed at all, and still asked calmly:

"Whose heart's darkness are you? Mine? If so, I have to take a good look at you, but why do I think you look so ordinary…"

There was a hint of disdain in these words, and after hearing it, the black shadow also slightly raised what should have been its head, like a child, seemingly wanting to seek the woman's help and comfort.

But the woman did not respond to its "gaze", but instead looked at Ma En's back:

"Your attempts are in vain. You can just waste time with me like this. Anyway, I have plenty of time, but you shouldn't be as free as I am, right? Do you need me to remind you what problems are waiting for you in reality?"

Ma En shook his head slightly:

"No, my attempts are not in vain."

"If I remember correctly, I have already taken V-4 level anomalous item, True Dew, and it is undergoing complex reactions in my body, so even waiting is meaningful."

"In fact, the fact that you want to persuade me to leave has already proved this."

"You don't want me to really stay here for a long time. You are lying."

The woman's expression became serious:

"I want you to leave, but I'm not lying. If you have the Bureau of Control check, you will know that there are no parasitic evil mind monsters in your brain. I can't be your enemy."

"I am your friend. I am helping you."

Ma En squinted his eyes and said as if half-asleep:

"Even if you are part of my consciousness, so what? I am not arrogant enough to think that all my thoughts and consciousness are good, and as long as you are human, there will be evil thoughts and wrong ideas."

"Even if you are really myself, I don't trust you."

The woman looked at him and said:

"You don't even trust yourself. Do you know how serious an error this will cause?"

Ma En slightly raised his right eyelid and glanced at her:

"Don't know."

The woman stared at Ma En's indifferent face, seemingly wanting to say some harsh words, but she forcibly held back and remained silent, then sat down directly opposite him, somewhat exasperated.

After a few minutes passed, Ma En heard the woman's voice.

"I'm really doing this for your own good," she said sadly.

Ma En said with his eyes closed:

"I know what's good for me. If you have a real reason, you can also try to convince me."

"I'm not some stubborn madman."

Moreover, he clearly remembered that the smiley face man was not so friendly last time. The reason why this illusion is so gentle this time is probably just because she has no way to be tough on him after he took True Dew.

Lying is her only remaining weapon.

The woman sighed slightly:

"Don't try to prepare to kill me anymore. Since you insist, I won't stop you. You can get what you want, but I have a condition…"

Ma En opened his eyes:

"What?"

The woman stared at Ma En's eyes with a calm expression, and put her hands on his shoulders:

"Since you have forgotten so much, then forget me too."

Then she pushed gently.
