I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 169 168. Mind (Bonus Update)

Lei Yu walked alone into the dark alley between the buildings and turned to look behind him.

Mann was standing in Lei Yu's blind spot, patiently watching this flowing scene composed of blurred memories and imagination.

Lei Yu didn't open his mouth:

"I killed him."

These were the words Lei Yu spoke in his mind, but they could still reach Mann's ears, because the place they were in at the moment was not bound by the laws of physics—this was Lei Yu's mind.

Imagination and reality have no boundaries here.

Therefore, Mann should have seen the figure in his mind opposite Lei Yu.

"We did have a deal, but at that time I didn't have time to hold back. Life and death and victory or defeat depended on a single thought. If I had really considered your request, then I would have been the one who died there."

He was talking to the air.

"What exactly are you seeking? If you were dissatisfied with my actions, why didn't you intervene personally just now? After all, to you, Mann is just a weak mortal, isn't he?"

After saying this, Lei Yu turned around and walked out of the alley, heading towards the armored vehicle waiting for his return.

But Mann remained in place, silently watching the position Lei Yu had just faced.

This experience reminded him of the first anomaly he encountered—the powerful threat he first saw after he had just awakened, the Unmemorables who could make his existence transcend the senses and thoughts of the world.

They also had the effect of making Mann unable to see them, and this was not a purely sensory experience, but the two were still vastly different, and may have been driven by completely different principles in essence.

Mann didn't stay here too long, but turned around and continued to follow Lei Yu's back. Instead of staying in a place where he couldn't see anything and daydreaming, delving deeper into his memories and illusions was the right way to find the truth.

Outside the alley was a clean and tidy corridor, and the distance between the doors was a bit like the Coordination Department where Mann had once stayed. Although he had never been here himself, he could guess where this was.

"Didn't Shadow ask you to capture Mann alive?" A girl's voice came from one of the doors in the corridor, "You just killed him directly?"

Mann slightly pushed open the door of the meeting room. Lei Yu was standing at the front of the group, followed by the team members assigned to him by Shadow, including the expert who had been killed by the angel's light gun not long ago.

And in front of them stood a young girl Mann had seen—Wang Yin of the Yin-Yang Twins.

She and her brother were once confidants of the Divine Firmament Walker, and they had even betrayed the prophet Qin Luan under these circumstances, which was enough to show that there must be something extraordinary about them.

And if you think about it in a normal way, the Divine Firmament Walker used them as her confidants, which is enough to prove that at least in the future she could see at the time, the Yin-Yang Twins had not betrayed her, and the decision of the Yin-Yang Twins in the end was definitely not so simple.

However, this is the case when thinking from a normal perspective, but Mann saw the Chinese character prophecy left by the Divine Firmament Walker, and she didn't even know what the things she wrote on the wall meant.

And if you reverse the result to deduce, you can actually see different possibilities.

Although the Yin-Yang Twins had joined the Federation, the Divine Firmament Walker had engraved an unshakable fear in their bones, so when they sensed the words of the Divine Firmament Walker when they were chasing him and Qin Lan that day, they were immediately scared shitless.

Perhaps the Divine Firmament Walker brought them for that moment. From Mann's understanding, some of her behaviors may indeed fit the idea, but before it takes effect, the Divine Firmament Walker may not understand the meaning of it.

The future of the Yin-Yang Twins' betrayal may actually have been changed by her. The future that has not been affected by her is actually far worse than what they saw.

But it is difficult for anyone to say clearly what the world in their eyes should have been like, and what has been affected by the ability of future seers like the Divine Firmament Walker.

"Forget it." Wang Yin, who was standing at the front, said helplessly, "At least it's better than letting him escape alive. Although we didn't get Qin Lan's whereabouts, at least he is dead. At least you still remember what Shadow said."

Although it was Wang Yin who said this sentence in the illusion, the real her may not know whether Mann should die or not. Her answer actually reflects what Lei Yu thinks in his heart.

He felt that Mann's death was an acceptable result for the Federation. Of course, it would be better if he could get information on Qin Lan's whereabouts, but it seemed that Shadow asked him to kill Mann no matter what.

Mann gently closed the door, turned around and walked towards another door behind him, and then moved towards the depths of Lei Yu's heart.

Behind the door was a sky filled with lightning and dark clouds. The strong wind rolled up heavy rain and hit Mann's body. In the distance, a thin figure was curled up on the ground, staring at the sky with despair in his eyes.

Although his cheeks had become shriveled, Mann could still see that this thin man was Lei Yu—this face was mixed with his past and imagination. This face looked a little older than the current Lei Yu, but some traces came from an earlier age.

From before he became the Son of Thunder.

The continuous lightning in the sky slowly formed a looming image—a strong calf that had sunk into the clouds. Needless to say, this was his imagination of Thor.

Along with the roar of thunder, several thick chains quietly emerged from the surrounding mud, wrapped around Lei Yu's body like pythons, and slowly surrounded him, dragging him towards the mud illuminated by lightning.

The direction Mann was heading was the "deal" that Lei Yu mentioned when he was talking to the invisible entity, and the scene in front of him reflected his fear and worry about Thor, and this emotion seemed to be linked to the loss of freedom.

Mann exited this room filled with fear, turned around and walked towards the end of the corridor, where there was a door that was pure black like the others.

This also indicated the end of this journey—all of Lei Yu's information about himself.

Crack.

Mann turned the handle.

The scene inside the door was a spacious office. Lei Yu was standing and looking at the man sitting in the chair, listening to his instructions with his head lowered.

"Because we have to deter the Salvation Alliance first, we must first kill a few members who have provoked the Federation to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys." Shadow suddenly paused, then raised his head to look at the guest standing at the door, "Oh, I see..."

He said with a smile:

"Hello, Mann."
