I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Bright sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the neatly folded bedding. The alarm clock, silenced beforehand, stood at attention like a soldier on the bedside table, flush against the wall. Inside the open closet, every shirt was ironed to perfection.

Ren Shizhi fastened his buttons and flashed a standard smile at the vanity mirror.

After practicing a few times to ensure he remembered exactly how to smile, he left his dormitory in high spirits and headed downstairs.

In such a good mood, even the usually jarring chirping of birds sounded beautiful.

A Federal Government smart taxi pulled up in front of him.

Ren Shizhi opened the door and set off towards the Federal Government Building.

He was in a great mood today.

Ever since the East Federal betrayed Shenxiao and Qin Lan, he had been rising through the ranks. After all, he had made significant contributions back in the East Federal.

Although Qin Lan eventually escaped, it was clear now that it wasn't his fault at all. After all, it was the now-famous Ma En who had snatched Qin Lan away back then. Thinking about it, he felt a lingering fear.

If the Yin-Yang Twins had truly clashed with Ma En back then, he might not even be here now.

But those were just hypotheticals. The reality was that he had been transferred to a particularly good position within the Federation and had received a lot of resources. Almost everyone who betrayed Shenxiao received similar treatment.

The Federation wanted everyone to see how many benefits came with following them.

The taxi stopped in front of a Federal building.

Ren Shizhi got out of the car and walked inside.

"Old Ren, you look pretty happy."

He had just stepped inside when a robust voice called out from a distance.

A middle-aged man in his forties, with a warm smile, walked over.

Seeing this, Ren Shizhi immediately put on the practiced smile he had just perfected:

"Isn't that all thanks to you, Old Wang?"

After the Shenxiao capture incident, he was transferred to the Federation's internal affairs department. Although he was favored by the Federation's resources after leaving his original territory, he still needed to find a small backer.

And Old Wang was the backer he had found back then.

Old Wang gave a hearty laugh.

"Just don't forget about your old brother when you make it big."

Actually, Old Wang had initially promoted Ren Shizhi simply because he was a defector from Shenxiao. But to his surprise, this Ren Shizhi did have some ability. In recent days, he had been like a fish in water, demonstrating exceptional work ethic and "communication" skills.

And in the past two months, Ren Shizhi had made many contributions, completing many tasks that Old Wang considered extremely difficult, and had taken the opportunity to build relationships with several high-ranking Federation officials.

Therefore, when Ren Shizhi asked him a few days ago to help him get into the latest project, Old Wang didn't hesitate at all and used all his connections to help him.

"Of course. People who are ungrateful don't go far," Ren Shizhi stated directly.

Seeing that Ren Shizhi understood the principle, Old Wang didn't say anything more and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

"I look forward to seeing you in that council seat in the future."

Ren Shizhi responded with a few polite words and walked into the elevator.

Old Wang had indeed put in a lot of effort on this matter, but the other party was willing to help because of his own abilities. He was quite confident in his abilities, both in his work and in his interpersonal skills.

Moreover, in the past two months, almost everything he did had gone exceptionally smoothly. Every problem that appeared before him was naturally solved, as if heaven was on his side.

He was destined to climb to a high position.

And not long ago, he had discovered a special opportunity. There was a project that seemed like it could be a stepping stone for him to continue rising within the Federation.

Although there was no evidence, Ren Shizhi had a feeling that this project was the opportunity he had to seize.

It was like guidance from heaven.

The elevator doors slowly opened.

The scene outside wasn't a hallway, but a narrow little room.

In the center of the room was a table and a chair facing away from the elevator doors. Without hesitation, Ren Shizhi walked straight to the table and sat down.

A voice came from the ceiling:

"Start checking your mental state. Take a look at the contract. If there are no problems, just sign it."

Ren Shizhi glanced at the contract, which was modeled after the Hell Contract. The contents were all confidentiality agreements, basically requiring him not to disclose the specific details of the project to the outside world.

How could he possibly leak these secrets?

Ren Shizhi signed it directly.

Then came repeated checks. Many things happened in the room that Ren Shizhi couldn't perceive, but the final result didn't exceed Ren Shizhi's expectations.

The check ended very smoothly.

After all, he didn't have any problems.

"Very good," a satisfied voice came from the ceiling. "Welcome to join us. I've actually noticed your efficiency lately, and there's something else I'm very pleased with.

"I heard that you used to have contact with that Ma En, right?"

Ren Shizhi said with some surprise:

"Yes, does this project have anything to do with Ma En?"

The voice from the ceiling replied:

"Don't worry, you don't need to have direct contact with him, and you don't have the qualifications. It's just that our project is somewhat related to what Ma En did some time ago. Your experience might be useful.

"It doesn't matter if I tell you now, our work is related to the gods.

"To be precise, we want to control these gods."

Happy New Year everyone, I hope everyone is healthy and happy~
