I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 154 153. Plan

Gowen State, Investigation Department corridor.

The strong Son of Thunder walked towards the conference room, the other members of the team were already waiting inside.

Through these days of contact, Lei Yu had a completely new perspective on these members. The expert was the most agreeable member to him. Several plans he proposed against Ma En were decisive enough, in line with his understanding of the Thunderous Path.

And the werewolf "Bloodclaw" in charge of tracking had also risen in his estimation. As a Tier III ability user, he had no advantage over other wild werewolves in combat, only slightly stronger in overall ability than the Federation's mass-produced werewolves.

Compared to those newborns, the biggest advantage of these native werewolves was that they were not so easily targeted. They had at least decades of experience dealing with silver weapons and knew how to avoid their weaknesses.

But in any case, Bloodclaw's combat power was meaningless with him around. The difference in combat power between the two sides meant that the werewolf had almost no chance of affecting the outcome of the battle.

However, Lei Yu gradually understood why Shadow chose Bloodclaw as a member. He was indeed good at tracking. Back in Dongxin State, he had deduced from Ma En's traces that he might have some kind of spatial movement ability. At the time, Lei Yu and the other members didn't take this statement to heart, thinking he was just making excuses.

In fact, Bloodclaw's basis for saying this was that he could tell that Ma En's traces were discontinuous at the time, and he also rigorously provided evidence from other traces at the scene that Ma En had spatial movement abilities.

Silent was the only one of the few who didn't bring him any novelty. This guy was as silent as his name suggested, rarely communicating with team members or participating in any actions. Lei Yu's impression of him remained as a helper when dealing with Ma En.

And Ren Shizhi, whom he originally looked down upon the most, was the one whose opinion Lei Yu changed the most about. Initially, he showed remarkable ability in handling paperwork, and then the results of dealing with communications with the Investigation Department headquarters also made them somewhat impressed.

But what completely changed Lei Yu's view of Ren Shizhi was his achievements after coming to the Investigation Department of the Southern Federation. After entering the Investigation Department system, his true skills were revealed—he had reached some kind of delicate relationship with more than a dozen mid-level members of the Investigation Department.

He was quietly infiltrating here. Lei Yu felt that if given half a year, he might be able to completely replace Ji Gaochuan.

The Son of Thunder didn't understand this kind of thing, but he could clearly perceive the gap between the two sides' skills through Ren Shizhi's reports. However, he also noticed an interesting thing, that Ren Shizhi seemed to be slightly less efficient in handling official business.

After learning this, Lei Yu saw some shadows of his past teammates in them. They were not as bad as he had originally thought. On the contrary, they were basically elites in their respective fields.

Lei Yu once suspected that there was something wrong with his original view of the Investigation Department, but after reading their action reports in Gowen State in detail, he felt that his original ideas were not wrong. The average level of the Investigation Department was indeed lower than his original team.

But Shadow, who arranged this team, had selected the more outstanding members among them. The seemingly cold-blooded and ruthless new superior seemed to have noticed his dissatisfaction after being separated from his original teammates, and had handled his emotions relatively gently.

After all, he was a mental ability user.

The Son of Thunder reached out and pushed open the door.

But behind the door was not the conference room.

Before him was a darkness, and at this time Lei Yu noticed that the black necklace hanging around his neck became warm.

This necklace was one of the equipment for this mission.

Lei Yu walked in.

The darkness slowly faded, and a spacious office appeared in front of him. Apart from the space being slightly larger than normal, there was nothing special about the layout here.

An ordinary-looking man was sitting in an office chair, with his hands on the mouse and keyboard, seemingly dealing with something. He raised his head a few seconds after Lei Yu appeared.

Shadow asked calmly:

"The one with you should be Moon God, right?"

This was why he had given the necklace to Lei Yu. Shadow had long considered the situation where he couldn't enter the Southern Federation. After all, the gods they believed in were those things, and it might be necessary to bring them to their side for communication.

"Yes." Lei Yu said directly, "Do I have a new mission?"

Shadow crossed his legs and said:

"Yes, the Federation has just swapped the priority of dealing with Moon God and the Salvation Alliance. Now the danger level of Moon God has exceeded our expectations, and headquarters has just received the latest news that we will negotiate with the Salvation Alliance."

Lei Yu looked at him in surprise:

"What do you mean?"

Shadow's face didn't show any emotion:

"The Salvation Alliance has proven its ability to survive, and you have betrayed my and the Federation's trust. The fact that the Investigation Department cannot solve the Salvation Alliance in a short time has been known to the members of the council. Now, after complex discussions, they have reached a new conclusion…"

"Then the benefits of destroying the Salvation Alliance are lower than the various potential risks it brings. We plan to negotiate with them. As long as the Salvation Alliance 'officially' dissolves, we can grant all of them freedom and免去先前犯下的罪行."

Although these were all true reasons, only two things really contributed to this—they planned to test the Godly Firmament Walker, and some factions wanted to reduce the influence of the Investigation Department.

Shadow pointed to a paper document on the table:

"And I am responsible for the work of the Salvation Alliance in the Southern Federation and the Eastern Federation. In the Southern Federation, you have a new bargaining chip, which is this document. It analyzes and tells in detail the consequences of their continued cooperation with Moon God, revealing part of the truth of the gods' essence.

"After reading this document, they will learn a simple message, that continuing to fight against us will accelerate the destruction of the world. Compared to doing so, disbanding the Salvation Alliance and secretly doing other good deeds is more in line with their ideals and beliefs. We will not stop them.

"And if this continues, the Godly Firmament Walker will also pay the price for their actions."

In fact, this was originally part of the Federation's plan, but their degree of resistance did indeed comprehensively exceed the Federation's earliest expectations, so the idea of using their struggle to influence the Godly Firmament Walker was shelved.

Lei Yu asked:

"What do I have to do?"

Shadow said:

"We speculate that Ma En is likely to have Qin Lan's information, which will help us complete the existing mission. Your primary mission is to find him and interrogate him, which is the best outcome, but no matter what…"

"You must eventually kill him.

"If you are not sure of capturing him alive, it is also an acceptable outcome to kill him directly, but I will reassign your future work based on this."

Lei Yu asked in confusion:

"Aren't we going to negotiate with the Salvation Alliance?"

Shadow nodded:

"Yes, this is part of the negotiation.

"If you only give them benefits, the Salvation Alliance will feel that we have no way to deal with them, especially now that Moon God's night has spread throughout the Southern Federation, so we must first make them realize a fact.

"The only loser in this war is them."

In fact, this was not the real reason, but this Son of Gods was not qualified to know so much.

This was the voice that the Federation conveyed to the Investigation Department. What they wanted to kill was not "Ma En", but the ability user who helped the Godly Firmament Walker's sister Lan escape—a pawn that may have been secretly placed by the Godly Firmament Walker.

For them, this was both a test and a preemptive elimination of hidden dangers.

Shadow continued:

"I heard that you are encountering difficulties in your work. I will give you some other resources. You can freely choose and use them. I shouldn't need to say more about the importance of this mission, right?"

Lei Yu replied confidently:

"I will capture him alive."

Shadow had no doubts about this Son of Gods, because he knew the essence of the gods very well, and what the Thunder God was doing—these were all monitored and handled by him.

They all had their own unique tricks. The Thunder God's trick was to make him no longer have control over his children, and helping the gods rule the world itself was contrary to what these Sons of Thunder believed in.

If they tried to help the Thunder God, it would only cause him to never be able to leave the cursed land.

He nodded to Lei Yu, then pointed to the door behind him:

"Go, I still have dozens of missions to assign."

Lei Yu turned and walked out of his office.

The next moment, he stepped into the conference room in Gowen State.

Before the other people could react, Lei Yu directly said:

"I just met with the superiors. They are not satisfied with the current progress and have put forward new requirements. We now have to capture that Ma En alive and pry out the location of the important member of the Salvation Alliance, Qin Lan, from his mouth.

"And they have also given us new resources. Expert, you and Ren Shizhi take a closer look to see if there is anything that can play a role in Plan Five, but I have a small request…"

"We must maintain our leading position. If not, I would rather deal with that fugitive alone."

Ren Shizhi said with a worried tone:

"Do we really have to execute Plan Five?

"I remember that the church firmly rejected our proposal. Given our current cooperative relationship, they must have a reason for doing so. If we really want to attack that priest, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction from the church."

Plan Five was to use Chen Yun to force Ma En to show up, and then use this as a means to control him. In the expert's plan, they would bypass the church itself to approach Chen Yun and carry out the assassination by covert means.

In the most ideal situation, Ma En would directly surrender, and no one would know the existence of this plan.

But this was almost impossible. They would definitely have to leave some traces on Chen Yun to force him to show up. Even if the team members who killed her handled it beautifully enough, Ma En also had the possibility of escaping. If the news leaked, it would definitely bring them trouble.

Lei Yu said:

"You misunderstood.

"The point is not whether you pull the trigger, but whether you point the gun in the right direction. We have obtained new resources, which may be more than you imagined. You can try to carefully discuss this matter with higher-ranking members of the church using this.

"She is just a formal priest."

The expert nodded:

"I will take a closer look, but compared to spending resources on this, a better plan is to use them to cover up the traces of our actions and ensure that Ma En has no possibility of escaping. This is more cost-effective."

He had done a lot of this kind of dirty work. Efficiency was the only thing the expert cared about.

Lei Yu nodded:

"You revise the plan and show it to me again. It's settled then."

None of the members in the conference room noticed that while they were talking, the moon outside the window faintly brightened a bit, and the silver brilliance fell into the room, quietly listening to the names they were talking about.

This was already her territory.

This Son of Thunder was lucky. If the outcome of his fight with Ma En was still unknown, then now he was destined to catch that interesting mortal, but in this process he would have to pay some insignificant price.

A part of Ma En.
