I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

#296 - 291. Invincible Enemy

After eliminating Shu Yun and obtaining sufficient information, Mann reorganized the remaining members of the Salvation Alliance into a search team. Their task was to utilize the Control Bureau's capabilities and this information to contact other resisting members of the Salvation Alliance and recruit them into the Salvation Secret Alliance to consolidate a new force.

Moreover, before attacking Shu Yun's residence, Mann also used the anomalies collected by these employees to solidify the severed finger of the Unforgettable One and equipped these Salvation Alliance members, who appeared dead to the outside world, with appearance blockers.

The purpose of this was naturally to prevent the Federation from realizing they were still alive. Without this feature, the information gathering operation would definitely have been conducted in a more secretive and secure manner.

Of course, even with this feature, Mann first used special clothing to conceal their physical traits. Only when the enemy tore apart their disguises would they realize that these attackers possessed the ability to conceal their appearances. After all, the lower the exposure, the less likely they would be targeted and defeated, as had been proven by the Church's Inquisitors.

After entrusting this task to Qin Lan, Mann planned to begin his other two projects: exploring the underground world and searching for characteristics that could restrain the Moon God's resurrection. In a sense, the two overlapped.

After all, for the Abnormal Control Bureau, the Titan's Fall was a cave filled with countless treasures, and this place had not yet been noticed by other abnormal entities and organizations, meaning they had no competitors.

If they were lucky, they might find something within that could target the Moon God, or perhaps some other lost Tier V Titan weapon, which was what Mann was most looking forward to.

The Titan creations he could find there were most likely used to deal with the gods, and such weapons, even Tier V, would be meaningless to other ordinary ability users and the gods themselves because they had no way to kill them.

Even if they could put the gods into a slumber, it would be meaningless to them, and they might even face retaliation.

But for Mann, who had the Abnormal Control Bureau, it was completely different. If he could really capture other Tier V gods, then he could also join the ranks of Tier V. Not every god could overwrite their personality like the Moon God.

Even some weapons that could only be used against gods could be used on other creatures after being utilized by the Control Bureau, achieving effects that were impossible before the weapon was contained.

So Mann's initial idea was to send non-mind domain ability users to explore the underground, while those with mind abilities would search for ways and abnormal entities to prevent the Moon God's personality overwrite. And coincidentally, the soulless Titans underground were not afraid of mind ability users.

But just as he was planning the team, he was suddenly interrupted by a message.

Shortly after leaving the hospital, the Control Bureau itself seemed to have locked onto two potential employees: Xiang Yudi, the son of the cult leader, and Ellie, an Atlantean. The former had provided Mann with significant assistance in East New State. Without his existence, he might not have resolved the angel problem so smoothly at the time.

After leaving East New State, Mann had not contacted this Tier IV ability user, because he wanted to maintain an appropriate distance from these ability users, as he had originally promised, only using them to gather intelligence.

This was also because he already had the core of the Salvation Secret Alliance, and the members of the Salvation Alliance had higher professional ethics and loyalty than these randomly recruited ability users. The members of the Salvation Alliance could not betray the Secret Alliance, because no one had ever betrayed Shenxiao.

Of course, this was also because he had not really reached a dead end at that time, otherwise he would definitely have relied on them to get out of trouble, and when a truly fatal danger appeared, the value of these ability users would only be worth gathering intelligence.

Mann didn't intend to let them know more about the Control Bureau than they already did.

And in the depths of his heart, there was always a doubt.

Why were they two on the list?

Moreover, Xiang Yudi's identity was so special that he could profoundly influence all of his encounters in East New State after being recruited, which made Mann somewhat suspect whether the past him had chosen him for a very special reason.

It was as if the past him had foreseen that Xiang Yudi would be helpful to his future amnesiac self, but this was somewhat unreasonable and contradicted many things that had already happened, so this should not be the real reason.

Mann suspected that the real situation should be similar to this speculation, but completely different and more complex.

But the former him didn't actually care after this idea arose.

Because this matter actually had a firm refutation—the other potential employee, Ellie.

Mann had been observing her all along. After joining, Ellie diligently provided the Control Bureau with all the information she found. Except for providing a little intelligence when encountering the Sea God, she had no influence on him, which seemed to say that Xiang Yudi was just a coincidence.

His marking these two potential employees may indeed just be because they were particularly easy to persuade and utilize.

But just two weeks ago, Ellie of Atlantis stopped transmitting information to the Control Bureau, and just yesterday, she took the initiative to request a face-to-face exchange with Mann, who recruited them, and provide some very important information.

This matter reawakened Mann's suspicions. Although the possibility of coincidence was still not small, this news still made Mann feel some worry, and after thinking about these things, he suddenly noticed some things that were not completely reasonable.

For example, he had actually defeated two angels before being hospitalized, and then stayed inside for several years. He remembered seeing a passage like this when he first arrived at the Control Bureau.

Director: Mann

Comprehensive Anomaly Level: Ⅲ-3 (Ⅲ-5)

This was his situation when he was in the trauma state caused by the Unforgettable One. Now that he had recovered, his telekinesis was at the level of Ⅲ-5, which meant that he probably didn't make any progress at all in the several years of hospitalization.

This was completely different from his speed of getting stronger after being discharged from the hospital, and he was still troubled by amnesia now.

Was the former him really so cautious?

Or was it that he encountered trouble brought by the Unforgettable One or the hospital itself as soon as he was admitted to the hospital? After that, he was held back from moving forward and becoming stronger, and he was afraid to leave because of the Church, and even afraid to take any action through the Control Bureau.

Or maybe…

With questions in mind, Mann suddenly looked up at the information panel not far away.

The middle-aged faceless woman reflected inside shook her head at him.

Everything dissipated with the wind.
