I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Shu Yun's lips curled slightly, a smug look on her face as she cheerfully walked towards the end of the corridor.

This was the work she enjoyed most.

"Inspection in progress. Exercise caution when interacting with the subject," a cold, mechanical voice echoed from above the corridor, warning each entrant of the monster they were about to face.

But Shu Yun thought it was foolish and cowardly to fear the monster in the cage. If the monster had fallen to this state and people still remained wary of it, then they shouldn't have captured it in the first place.

Now that the monster's neck was in a yoke, its past horrors would only be distant legends. It had been reduced from a terrifying and dangerous monster to a plaything for the upper class to admire, just like the fire dragons once enslaved by the Llama Empire.

And looking at this once-terrifying creature up close gave Shu Yun a sense of victory.

Shu Yun pushed open the last door.

Qin Luan was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

She was intently focused on the chessboard in front of her, seemingly so absorbed in the game that she didn't notice Shu Yun's arrival at the door. It wasn't until she walked to the table that Shenxiao slowly looked up.

Shenxiao looked at Shu Yun calmly and said:

"You're here. Have a seat."

Shu Yun was somewhat surprised by Shenxiao's attitude. Before her mind could react, her body naturally sat down on the sofa opposite her. Then she suddenly realized what was happening.

She wanted to beg for mercy.

This made Shu Yun reveal a smug expression:

"Did you ever think this day would come?"

Shenxiao looked at her with a smile, her eyes seeming to pierce through her body and see into her soul:

"No, I actually had some misunderstandings about you when I first met you. I realized this only after coming here, just like I started learning chess only after coming here. Do you know anything about this game?"

Shu Yun said complacently:

"It's too late to reminisce now. You should have come to me like this years ago."

Shenxiao shrugged and then looked at the chessboard:

"Actually, playing chess and predicting the future have some similarities. The main difference lies in how you make decisions. There are not so many uncertainties in the macroscopic world, which is something that cannot be ignored when predicting the future.

"But it seems you're not very interested in this."

Shu Yun suddenly became alert:

"What do you mean?"

Shenxiao said:

"Some ancient people liked to use chess to compare the prediction of the future.

"In fact, we can indeed 'predict' the future based solely on experience and judgment, as long as you know what information is important and what information is completely useless. This is also a way of predicting the future."

Shu Yun looked at her for a moment, then revealed a sneer:

"You always liked to be mysterious like this when you were little, pretending to be so unique.

"But in fact, you are just an ordinary person like us. Without that power, you are nothing. I really wish there was a way to strip you of your power so that I could see you fall into the mortal world.

"Only then will you stop pretending."

How wonderful it would be if this power was in her hands.

Shenxiao smiled gently:

"Unfortunately, only people with a kind nature can possibly control this power. As far as I know, it is almost impossible for you to find a suitable candidate in the Federation."

Shu Yun curled her lips:

"Conceited. In your opinion, defeating a Seer without their knowledge is also impossible, right?"

What she hated most was Shenxiao's arrogance, and no one else could detect this aloof attitude. In their eyes, Shenxiao could even be considered humble and gentle, but Shu Yun could feel it.

It was arrogant gentleness.

But in the past, she couldn't say anything about it because Shenxiao's arrogance matched her abilities at that time. But now that Shenxiao still maintained this condescending vision, Shu Yun hated her even more.

Shenxiao said calmly:

"I know why you're here. You just want to seek my answer, but you can put away your complacent thoughts. No matter how good your current situation looks, it is still precarious.

"What you want can only be obtained by your own efforts, and I can guarantee you that it will be a difficult process.

"It's also the only path before you."

Shu Yun looked at her coldly:

"You underestimate me a bit.

"They let me be in charge of this matter not because of my father, nor because of my current status, which is still acceptable. The Federation comprehensively evaluated the proposal I submitted to them, and the reason they finally agreed was that they believed in me.

"They believe that I know you well enough, and that you are a person with principles."

Shenxiao smiled peacefully:

"But I'm not a fool. I don't think it's wise for you to do this. You are angering your enemy. I can stand in your perspective and look at what you are about to do, and in my opinion...

"Your enemy is the pinnacle of Tier V anomalous entities. Even if He is still wearing shackles, if you ignore the deadly danger contained within, you are courting death.

"As long as you look at what He has done in the past, you will realize that He always wins."

Shu Yun laughed happily:

"Starting to dig up past achievements?"

"You're right, but I know exactly why you're saying this, because you want me to give up the idea of dealing with you further, and that proves that I should do it. It's funny, I don't know if you've noticed.

"You are no longer seeking victory, but just wanting to lose with dignity.

"What happened to your arrogance?"

Shenxiao looked at her and said:

"You will definitely do this, because if you don't...

"Not just you, many people will die. It is indeed a remarkable feat to trap the most dangerous anomalous entity, but they have not really solved the fundamental problem, and the loopholes left behind will eventually lead to a global disaster.

"The world will change because of this."

Shu Yun said confidently with a smile:

"That's right, that's why they also support me. You will retaliate against us, unless we put smart handcuffs on you. Otherwise, you will definitely kill us, the masterminds of the plan, after you leave here.

"Even if this possibility is not so obvious, even if some people in the Federation regard this as an acceptable price, and your revenge will definitely be limited, they cannot accept its occurrence no matter how low the probability of death is.

"And obviously, this plan is destined to involve several big figures, because only they can approve our proposal. And these big figures who are involved do not want to see you have any chance to retaliate against them in any way in the next few decades.

"This is the beauty of the Federation. It is a precise and complex machine. No part can operate independently. They will always affect other parts and eventually lead to a result that may not be in the best interest.

"That's why I can continue to restrict you. Humans with a desire to survive cannot choose the best decision. The final result is that the situation leads to the ending that makes me the happiest. You are going to become our slave."

Shu Yun looked down at Shenxiao slightly, her eyes looking at these words arrogantly.

Although the last sentence was a bit exaggerated, Shu Yun still said it, because it made her feel extreme pleasure, even giving her the illusion that she had conquered Shenxiao.

Shenxiao sighed:

"My relationship with you is really unique. I seem to have an inextricable hatred with you, but the closeness is far greater than usual. There will never be an answer to how we got to this point."

Shu Yun sneered contemptuously:

"Yes, you can predict the future, so why didn't you try to make me like you a little when I was in front of you? You looked at me as if you had completely seen through me. Why do you think that is?"

She didn't wait for Shenxiao to speak and answered herself:

"Because you didn't care at all. You didn't take me seriously.

"What? Didn't you predict that I would be standing in front of you now, and that I could dominate your future destiny?

"To be honest, you should have killed me back then, but you didn't.

"So I won."

While speaking, Shu Yun's body was also constantly leaning forward, looking at Shenxiao as if she was a long-time enemy who had finally fallen into a trap. After so many years, she had finally realized her wish and could be in a superior position to Shenxiao during the conversation.

Even mortals can overcome hypocritical demigods.

Shenxiao looked up at the ceiling:

"If it hadn't isolated us in advance, the situation would have been extremely bad."

Shu Yun looked at Shenxiao with cold eyes and raised her voice:

"But it's here. You are in the prison we built. There is no 'if'. We brought you here. I put the shackles on you. You didn't just walk in here by yourself.

"But I can also understand why you would say that, because for you, there is only 'if' left."

Shu Yun looked at her with a sympathetic expression, as if she was forgiving Shenxiao's threat.

Shenxiao looked slightly to the side at the wall and said:

"I'm very curious about what you can do. This is still a question for me."

Shu Yun suddenly smiled very happily:

"You finally asked this. I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Then she turned around, looked at the wall, and waved her hand.

Two screens slowly appeared. The images on them looked like they were taken by surveillance equipment. They showed two prisoners sitting in restraint chairs. The displays showed that there was one man and one woman, and they were both very young.

The male prisoner looked only in his early twenties, with some childishness still remaining on his face.

But now he had no expression at all. No emotions could be revealed. He was just tightly grasping the armrest with both hands, as if he was waiting for something to come in the midst of calmness and tension.

And if the female prisoner was stripped of her restraint suit and the scene, she looked like a white-collar worker who had just started working. But obviously, what she did was completely inconsistent with her appearance, and this also led her to her current situation.

And at this moment, she was full of determination, even with some pride and arrogance.

Shu Yun looked at the two screens with a smile on her face and said to Shenxiao in high spirits:

"Currently, there are a total of twenty-nine known Tier IV ability users among the remaining rebels in the entire Federation. They have not tried to carry out such dangerous operations with lower-level ability users. These twenty-nine ability users are all carrying out retaliatory actions against the Federation in their respective regions.

"Meaningless retaliatory actions, and they are doing this just because of their stupid special feelings for you.

"And in this process, we captured two members of the Savior Alliance, and a more dangerous ability user was forcibly killed on the spot by us. By the way, they also caused considerable losses to the Federation, and some politicians are giving us trouble for this.

"And we finally made them realize that it was worth it. They will bring us enough benefits. Although the remaining rebels are numerous, they are scattered all over the world. Only the North Federation is more difficult to deal with, and the others can be found in a short time."

Shenxiao said:

"I don't think so.

"I think they will eventually find each other and eventually become a threat to you."

Shu Yun showed an amused expression, looking at Shenxiao as if she was looking at a fool:

"If it weren't for your existence, they would just be ordinary abnormal criminals to us. We would eventually kill these idiots who dare to resist the will of the Federation easily. Their deaths will not cause any ripples.

"But you can change this. Look at them.

"They are all young people who should have a great life. Only young people would do such stupid things. They haven't figured out the facts yet. If they have the chance to live to the future, they will definitely realize that this is not the best decision for them.

"They are doing this entirely out of passion and trust in you, but what results have they achieved?

"Do you know that these two young people are both only children? Their parents are still waiting..."

Shenxiao suddenly interrupted her:

"Okay, stop here."

Shu Yun looked at her with some surprise.

Shenxiao said:

"Parde and Ranxia."

"These are their names. Their parents miss their children very much. I have repeatedly advised them to put aside their work temporarily and go back to accompany their parents, but they always say that there will be time in the future, and they also say that what they are doing is for their families.

"They think they still have opportunities and time. They feel that they have responsibilities on their shoulders. They should have a bright future. I did not refuse their insistence because I had seen it before."

"And you ruined all this."

Shu Yun then said:

"No, you ruined them.

"You can refuse the safety rope plan, and the price will be their lives. And after that, there will be other good people constantly appearing in the positions they are sitting in now, and constantly dying because of your stubbornness.

"I know where your bottom line is. Just surrender early."

Shenxiao looked directly at the screen and said:

The reason they chose to continue fighting wasn't to make me give in. If I were to hand the choice over to them now, they would all choose to die. Of course, this isn't some self-evident choice; they don't want to die.

But they don't want me to compromise even more. They have already answered my question with their actions.

No, I won't let them down.

We are all ready.

Shenxiao turned his face away.

Shu Yun waved her hand dismissively, looking bored.

Two corpses appeared on the screen.

"You will compromise," Shu Yun said. "I understand you."

Shenxiao looked back at her, his expression so unfamiliar that Shu Yun felt a little frightened:

"No, I will do what they want me to do."

"I will avenge them."

Resurrection!
