I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

At the Bureau of Anomalous Control, Mann was sitting in his almost never-used office, waiting.

After obtaining the anomalous item that the mastermind had deliberately left behind to deceive him, Mann found nothing of value there, the mastermind's handling methods were as professional as ever.

In fact, he was now beginning to suspect that this battle, which didn't seem so clean, was also a deliberate result of the mastermind's actions, his purpose being to make this still-burning hellfire seem more reasonable.

After all, if he had really achieved an overwhelming victory, he would not have left any traces.

And the mastermind wanted to delay time by leading himself to other hellish demons, he originally expected that he could investigate this flame through some means, but the mastermind definitely did not expect that he did not master any conventional investigation techniques at all, and could only rely on the containment room for brute force cracking.

And it was precisely because of this that most of the disguises were exposed in front of Mann. If he really could judge which great demon the hellfire originated from as the mastermind imagined, then now he should also be able to judge the real identity of the mastermind based on the information given by the Bureau of Anomalous Control.

But here he encountered a small problem, that is, he simply couldn't find out what this was. Even if he knew that this power was called the Wisdom Phantom, the Bureau of Anomalous Control couldn't continue to analyze its origin. This was not within the scope of the Bureau of Anomalous Control's work. In fact, it didn't even know which great demon this hellfire was leading to.

Moreover, since this anomalous entity possessed self-protection and concealment properties, it was not particularly simple to directly study it without relying on the containment room. It was hard to say whether there were such members in the Bureau of Anomalous Control.

Click.

Qin Lan, carrying a stack of documents, walked in. Mann, sitting in the chair, could see that the scene behind the door was her office. They would not go through the corridor when meeting in private.

She placed the thick stack of documents on the table, then shook her head slightly:

"I had them all take a look, but there were no results."

Mann reached out and flipped through the documents in front of him. All the employees of the Bureau of Anomalous Control had no way to deal with it. Only the newly joined demon expert judged which hellish creature this flame wanted to lead him to deal with, and he was actually a great demon Mann had met, the Balancer who led the negotiations between the Federation and the Salvation Alliance.

This Balancer was a Hell Prince, and Hell Prince was the title of the five great demons closest to the essence of Hell, which also meant that he was one of the most dangerous among the many great demons in Hell.

If he really regarded the Balancer as the mastermind, he would definitely be held back by this matter for a long time. Even if he didn't completely believe it, he would definitely have some doubts. Fortunately, the containment room made him realize that this was a trap.

But now this has become his bargaining chip for counterattack.

Mann said:

"This Balancer cannot be his ally. This mastermind obviously wants us to find trouble with the Balancer, but the fact that the other party does this means that he can only make us hostile by creating misunderstandings.

"In that case, we can completely exchange information about this hellfire and this Dark Star Church from the Balancer himself by using the fact that he framed the Balancer. If I'm not mistaken, this church itself is also likely to have an inseparable relationship with the mastermind, and only those older demons and devils will know the specific situation."

Qin Lan showed a knowing expression:

"Moreover, we are now barely floating to the surface. If the Balancer wants to inquire, he will definitely know about the newly emerged organization, the 'Secret Alliance'. Using this point, it is not difficult for us to trade with him."

Mann nodded:

"However, you can continue to study it during this period, and you can also try to let Kalia see if she knows any scholars who are particularly familiar with this field, so that we have alternative plans in case our plan goes wrong.

"Then you can form a special team with Kalia and other Bureau of Anomalous Control employees who have knowledge and research methods, and let them work together to see if they can find any clues, but don't let Kalia risk having the memories here in reality. We don't have the extra energy to deal with the Federation right now."

Even without the existence of the mastermind, he would not let Kalia take risks. Although the Federation was a rather bloated and huge organization, the contact during this period also made him realize that they were definitely not really stupid.

They were just greedy, so they would definitely pay attention to people like Kalia who had contacted him. Although they might not really go to the extent of repeatedly checking her mind, Mann would definitely not take such a risk.

Qin Lan nodded:

"Okay, I'll arrange it. I also think your idea of directly contacting the Balancer is very good. The demon worshiped by this Dark Star Church is a very ancient great demon. The Balancer has also existed for a long time. According to the information we have, they should have been active together in Hell, and the Balancer was already a great demon at that time, so he must know something about the demon worshiped by the Dark Star Church in the past."

The deliberately destroyed sculpture actually hinted at the connection between the mastermind and this ancient great demon.

Mann continued:

"Moreover, contacting this Balancer will also help solve the contract that is currently restricting us."

He was talking about the contract he signed with the Federation that he could no longer help Shenxiao. In fact, when the most basic and loyal employees of the Bureau of Anomalous Control were composed of former members of the Salvation Alliance, this should have been a very dangerous thing.

Normally, after he decided not to help Shenxiao anymore, Salvation Alliance members like Qin Lan should have had some careful thoughts at this time, but in reality, this did not happen.

Because neither Qin Lan nor other Salvation Alliance members who knew a little about the Bureau of Anomalous Control felt that the Hell contract was something inviolable like other ability users.

After all, they had already seen how magical the Bureau of Anomalous Control was. Mann couldn't say for sure how difficult it was to break the Hell contract, but he could be sure that it was definitely not something that couldn't be done.

Just as they were discussing how to find the mastermind through the hellfire and the church itself, suddenly a line of text appeared in front of them, and extremely urgent news came.

[The Little Devil's territory is surrounded]

Sure enough, his preparations were not useless. The mastermind really left a backup plan, intending to attack him in Hell, but with his precautions, the other party's actions were destined not to threaten him.

Mann said:

"Monitor the Little Devil's movements, and if he is in danger, teleport him back directly."

Then he directly teleported to the Little Devil's location.
