I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

The stinging pain in his chest pulled Ren Shizhi out of the tranquil darkness, forcing him to struggle to lift his eyelids. The light that struck his retina, along with other sensations, mixed into a hazy sense of dizziness, preventing him from piecing together the colors into meaningful images.

A childish female voice pierced his eardrums, instantly sobering Ren Shizhi as if he had been plunged into icy water:

"I heard you were doing pretty well a while ago. How did you end up in this state?"

He stiffly turned his neck slightly, his pupils shifting to the far left of their sockets:

"Wang Yin..."

The girl curled up the corners of her mouth, revealing sinister fangs hidden beneath her adorable face:

"Tsk, tsk, you and your teammates were supposed to be hunting down Ma En, right? I remember you didn't get along with him very well back then. Who would have thought he would mess you up so badly?

"What were you thinking when you joined this team? Did you think you'd have a chance to get revenge on Ma En?"

Her mocking tone didn't affect Ren Shizhi, but he deliberately feigned an embarrassed expression:

"What exactly happened...?"

Ren Shizhi really didn't know anything. After being pierced by Ma En with a Tranquilizing Spear, he had fallen into a coma.

"Your teammates have all disappeared. They should have been captured by the Salvation Alliance. You're the only survivor in the entire team. It seems they don't think much of you." The girl said in a childishly malicious tone, "But you're lucky to have gotten away with your life. That Tranquilizing Spear almost pierced your heart."

Ren Shizhi showed a look of lingering fear.

Although this was actually what he had specifically instructed Ma En to do, Ren Shizhi had been particularly nervous before the attack, and the fear of death almost made him slip up. But in the end, the result was good.

Among the Investigation Department members who encountered Ma En, the ratio of those who died to those who were Tranquilized was about 3:7. He only killed those Investigation Department members who were not so easy to subdue—a major purpose of doing so was to make Ren Shizhi's encounter seem more normal.

"So, we..." Ren Shizhi lowered his head and muttered, "Lost?"

Wang Yin nodded:

"A crushing defeat. Moreover, Ji Gaochuan, the head of the Gowen Prefecture Investigation Department, reviewed your plan while you were unconscious. He thinks your actions were particularly hasty and chaotic. If Lei Yu can come back alive, he will also have to face investigation and questioning."

"But I suspect he may not have many days left to live. We haven't hesitated when dealing with members of the Salvation Alliance. They must harbor deep resentment towards the Federation."

Ren Shizhi immediately emphasized:

"The entire operation was led by Lei Yu."

Wang Yin said coldly:

"I don't care who led it. What matters is that you failed. Do you think the Minister will consider the specifics of who was responsible when reviewing the report? You will all be labeled as incompetent, assuming your other companions can come back alive."

"You have now been removed from your position and will be under my command from now on."

"I have to clean up this mess for you."

As she spoke, Ren Shizhi noticed a figure flashing past the window outside the ward.

Ren Shizhi asked blankly:

"What do you mean?"

The girl explained to him:

"Gowen Prefecture has been taken over by me. This will become my base of operations for actions in the Southern Federation. While you were napping, the elites from headquarters completely replaced the third-rate employees here. You and Ji Gaochuan have both become my subordinates."

"According to Shadow, your fate is at my whim."

Ren Shizhi suddenly said spiritedly:

"Your orders..."

Wang Yin curled her lip and interrupted:

"Don't give me that. It doesn't work here."

"You should be glad I can still use you. I still remember how much trouble you caused Qin Lan when you were under her command. Many ability users overlook the usefulness of this kind of ability."

"If everything were as beautiful as Utopia, your skills would indeed be useless, but we live in a terrible world."

Ren Shizhi opened his mouth slightly in surprise. His impression of Wang Yin was still of a seemingly mischievous, but actually harboring madness and hatred in her bones, a vicious ghost. It was impossible for her to say such a thing.

The girl curled up the corners of her mouth:

"Who do you think I've been following all these years?"

"Although I think many of her ideas are too naive, it doesn't mean all of her views are wrong. Wang Yang and I were brutally tortured to death because of private desires when we were twelve years old. This pathetic world is beyond saving."

"Since it's already like this, Wang Yang and I just want to live better lives."

"And you bastards know a lot about that."

Wang Yin's explanation didn't dispel the doubts in his heart. In the past, the Yin-Yang Twins were quite famous in the Federation. From time to time, news of their rampages and massacres of enemies would spread.

At that time, in the eyes of the Federation, they were two vicious ghosts that even Qin Lan couldn't completely tame.

But now, Wang Yin has taken on an important position in the Investigation Department, and although her personality is still not particularly good, she is completely unrelated to being a vicious ghost.

If this is the true face of the Yin-Yang Twins...

Ren Shizhi tugged at his collar:

"Well, if you're referring to seeking personal gain, I do have some small insights."

Wang Yin nodded:

"Then pack up and prepare for your new job."

"We have a lot to talk about with Ma En."

Ren Shizhi looked puzzled:

"Talk?"

The girl looked down at the man and said:

"You made our little prey wary, and now we've missed the best opportunity to kill Ma En."

"And did you think the purpose of my coming here was really just for that Ma En? The Federation has far more important goals to achieve than killing a civilian. I'm here to ensure he doesn't become an obstacle to us."

As she spoke, a gloomy-looking young man walked into the ward. He walked firmly behind the girl, his gaze towards Ren Shizhi filled with cold malice.

"They have already deployed the 'Silver Dagger,' and it can be activated at any time." He leaned down and said in the girl's ear, "If you agree, I can do it at any time..."

The girl coldly glanced at her subordinate:

"No, don't make me waste my breath..."

Hearing this, the man timidly straightened up, and his gaze towards Ren Shizhi became even more ferocious, as if this man he had never met had some deep-seated hatred for him.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

Not only him, but the entire Ma En hunting squad hated him. Their defeat turned his decades of training into a joke, and even deprived him of the opportunity to gain glory and reach the truth.

But even more hateful than them was that Ma En who was still on the run.

He was the one who stole his position.
