I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Even before the mind scan, Kania had strengthened her defenses against the memories related to Alice. Upon realizing that Ma En was not the colleague she remembered, her other training and the anti-mind control devices implanted within her began to activate.

Originally, Kania had hoped that Ma En would be smart enough to bypass this, and she was worried that the Shu family might find her weaknesses, so she had made thorough preparations in other areas where she was weaker. But now it seemed that she had overestimated both the Shu family and Ma En.

Ma En had used this memory to paralyze her, preventing her from immediately calling for help, but now the counter-programs were already running. In a moment, this blurred memory illusion would no longer be able to isolate her from external information.

"Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?" Kania asked, still cautiously, trying to reinforce her mental defenses through speech. "If this is all you've got, then you can prepare to face Shadow."

Ma En looked at her calmly and said:

"I can cure Alice."

Silence.

Those few words made everything Kania had just been thinking meaningless.

He could cure Alice?

No, don't believe him. Ma En is a cunning man, he would say anything when he has no other choice. And even if he really did possess a way to cure Alice, the first thing she should do is to control him. She could still cure Alice then.

Although his daring to say so seemed to prove that he had a means of self-protection, it was very likely that Ma En had guessed what she would think. If she yielded now, she would completely fall into his rhythm.

Kania's rationality was frantically warning her not to trust the man before her.

"You're not lying to me?" Kania asked anyway.

Reason lost to emotion.

Ma En nodded:

"Don't worry, in my eyes, your mind is an indestructible metal fortress. You and I both know that I can't do anything to you in this situation. If I'm lying, you can still report me to the Federation at any time.

"But I want to state in advance that if you do, you will never see me again.

"I'm not worried about Shadow."

Kania said with a serious expression:

"Curing her is almost impossible. How will you do it?"

Although Ma En was very likely lying, and in reality, he would probably be controlled by Shadow again if she sent a signal now, Kania couldn't afford to take the risk. For her, the price of failure was unacceptable.

It was precisely because Ma En realized this that he dared to stand on the edge of the cliff and say that to her.

And as he said, she was indeed not afraid of Ma En's mental attacks. The blurred memory from just now only served to allow Ma En to successfully convey the information that he could cure Alice to her. That was already his limit.

Everything was tempting her to be patient and see.

Ma En pointed to the door behind him:

"Your purpose here is to examine my memories, and the answer happens to be hidden there."

He walked over and opened the door, then looked at Kania, inviting her in:

"Please."

Without the slightest hesitation, Kania resolutely stepped into Ma En's memories.

Then, she saw another girl.

A girl also trapped behind glass, a girl who also had a serious "mental problem" that needed to be solved, a girl who also contained powerful energy, a girl who was…

The newborn Moon God.

Then, following this containment room, she caught a glimpse of the mysterious organization that imprisoned the Moon God, and the terrifying secrets of the Moon God's imprisonment here flowed into her eyes. Immediately, she naturally realized that this organization did indeed have a way to cure Alice.

Her thoughts were still deforming and branching, and a hazy, beautiful figure slowly reflected in her eyes…

Snap.

Ma En grabbed her arm and pulled Kania, who was still falling into the depths of his memory, out of the door.

Kania took a few steps back, gasping for breath, then looked up at Ma En, still somewhat shaken.

Although that memory was fragmented, Kania could be sure that it was all real, and all Ma En's own memories. She could even faintly feel Ma En's complex emotions when he looked at the girl.

She asked in disbelief:

"You caught the Moon God?"

Ma En admitted:

"That's right."

"You reshaped her into that appearance?" Kania hadn't fully recovered. "What exactly are you?"

If she understood correctly, Ma En had faced the Moon God directly and captured and "killed" her once, and in her memory, the Moon God didn't exist, which meant that their memories of this deity had been erased.

Ma En also happened to possess the ability to erase memories…

He replied with a smile:

"That's not important. What's important is what we can do. We can extract the power that is constantly circulating and destroying Alice's mind in a gentle way, and you can directly heal her mind."

Kania said almost reflexively:

"That might provoke Gu Lan."

Ma En asked calmly in return:

"Do you think that's a bad thing for us?"

Kania realized the foolishness of that sentence as soon as she said it:

"No, it's not a bad thing.

"So, in order to resolve Shen Zongdao's suspicions, you plan to win me over by curing Alice?"

For Ma En, the input seemed disproportionate to the output.

But his answer was very reasonable:

"No, we will use the cure of Alice to exchange for her power, the trust of the Federation, anti-mind metal, and…

"You."

Kania was a little confused by what Ma En wanted in the end:

"You want me?"

Ma En replied:

"That's right, your technology, your knowledge, and your understanding of Alice and her teacher. Most importantly, we need to heal Alice after we acquire her. You may find it hard to believe, but we are an organization with high moral standards.

"Remember? Not long ago, I was still fighting the Federation alongside Shenxiao."

When listening to the first half of Ma En's sentence, Kania instinctively and based on her experience thought that his words were ridiculous. Working in the Federation, she had long seen the true faces of these large organizations. They would never really want to cure Alice.

But the last sentence shook her idea again, because Ma En did follow the Shenxiao Walker—the person Alice trusts most now, and also the kindest Rank 5 ability user.

Ma En asked with a smile:

"So, what's your answer?"

Although it might seem absurd to think so, Kania felt that Ma En's position at the moment seemed to be that of the righteous protagonist in those stories, while she and the Federation were the evil villains destined to be defeated, but…

Kania felt that Ma En was more like the resourceful mastermind villain.
