I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 494 492. Flickering Candlelight (4k Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

After sparring with his senior sister, Shen Tianyi, as usual, sought guidance from Ma En on several issues, resolving the difficulties he encountered during fist practice and cultivation. Then, he followed his senior sister to the library for study, finally returning to his residence close to midnight to wash up, lie down, and prepare for a good rest to welcome the new day.

But the young man had barely laid down on the bed, and his consciousness was only slightly blurred when he heard a few muffled knocks on the door, penetrating the thick fog and entering his ears, gently awakening him.

The young man raised his eyelids and groggily sat up. Enveloped in drowsiness, he didn't notice the exceptionally bright moonlight outside the window tonight, nor did he perceive the faint strangeness permeating the air.

And when he opened the door, it took him several seconds to clearly see the figure standing outside.

It was his master, Ma En.

Before he could feel surprised, Ma En asked:

"May I come in?"

The young man nodded repeatedly, immediately making way for Ma En to enter the room. At the same time, the indoor scene behind him, which he couldn't see, became a bit clearer, but his dizzy head couldn't notice this.

When Ma En sat down facing him in the room, the young man realized something was wrong. Why would his master suddenly come over after he had fallen asleep? Could there be something particularly urgent?

After Ma En sat down opposite him, he unhurriedly asked:

"I've noticed that you've recently collected some information about the Divine Firmament Walker?"

The young man didn't feel any surprise that Ma En knew about this, because he had absolutely no understanding of the abnormal world. He wouldn't be particularly surprised no matter what Ma En did.

So Shen Tianyi just nodded:

"That's right, Master. After you mentioned her to me, I especially wanted to know what kind of person she is."

Ma En asked:

"Do you have any thoughts?"

The young man showed a thoughtful expression:

"At first, I actually heard about the Divine Firmament's current situation and the conflict between the Federation and her. At that time, I felt that the battle between the Divine Firmament and the Federation was a bit like the Southern Federation's warlord brothers fighting for power.

"But after I saw more detailed information, I felt that my initial thoughts were a bit of a misunderstanding. This matter seems to be more intense and bloody than they mentioned, right?"

The young man looked up at Ma En with a questioning gaze.

Ma En nodded slightly:

"That's right, you should have learned that I once participated in the battle in the Savior Alliance that followed the Divine Firmament. At that time, I was hiding my strength and secretly helping the Divine Firmament, and I have to admit, I did have some thoughts of secretly rescuing the Divine Firmament, although in reality my chances of success were not high.

"But unfortunately, some time ago I was forced to sign a contract with the Federation, and I can no longer provide any assistance to the Divine Firmament. And now the Divine Firmament's situation is that she is still under the control of the Federation.

"I think the information you obtained may have mentioned the reason for the Divine Firmament's confrontation with the Federation, what do you think?"

The young man frowned slightly:

"The information actually lists the reasons for the Federation's actions against the Divine Firmament, but I feel like something is wrong."

Ma En smiled:

"Of course you'll feel that something is wrong, because they are reversing black and white. Even if I don't look, I can think of hundreds of excuses to deal with the Divine Firmament. The reason for attacking such a powerful individual is particularly easy to fabricate.

"Worry, suspicion, fear, they have countless reasons to act, but if the Federation really didn't have its own little thoughts, it could have taken better measures than it did now.

"When the Federation takes action in such a swift and uncompromising manner, it means that they have no intention of solving the problem through other means, and they don't care if their judgment is wrong.

"Because the reasons you see are all excuses they fabricated after imprisoning the Divine Firmament."

Hearing this, the young man showed a look of sudden realization. During this time, he was indeed a bit entangled in the "love-hate relationship" between the Divine Firmament and the Federation, and he always felt that his senior sister's statement was a bit off.

And when Ma En said this, he immediately noticed the incongruity.

"I see." The young man also showed a thoughtful expression.

Ma En continued:

"At that time, I didn't expect the Federation to take action, otherwise the Divine Firmament wouldn't have been defeated. So at the beginning, I really just wanted to join the Savior Alliance to get in touch with the Divine Firmament and secretly lurk within it.

"But just when I joined the Savior Alliance, the Federation launched a siege against all the Savior Alliance members within the Federation system in order to imprison the Divine Firmament. They didn't intend to let me go either.

"So maybe I can't say what the Divine Firmament is really like, but I can tell you from my own experience that the Federation is an extremely ruthless organization, and it's not an exaggeration to call it evil.

"At least its face is extremely dark. Of course, this is not its entire face, and the world still needs such a terrible organization, otherwise the Divine Firmament would have confronted it head-on long ago.

"Because there are many organizations in this world that are far worse than the Federation, so even though it's a pity, its existence strictly speaking does have a lot of positive effects on the world. I think this is why the Divine Firmament has never thought of trying to dismantle it. These evil organizations include the guy who exposed my identity.

"Actually, although it's difficult for me to rescue the Divine Firmament, I was doing a good job of lurking in the Federation. The reason why I was found some time ago was because an evil being who wanted to deal with me exposed me."

"If it weren't for him, I would still be inside the Federation and wouldn't be here as your master."

Hearing this, the young man's expression obviously became a bit low:

"I didn't expect the world to be so bad. I used to hope that only my surroundings were like that, but thinking about it carefully, if the whole world wasn't like this, the Southern Federation wouldn't be like it is now."

At this moment, Shen Tianyi's mood became extremely heavy and uncomfortable. Ma En's words proved the worry that had been lingering in the young man's heart from beginning to end, and the world behind the curtain was even darker than he had imagined.

In addition to the resistance to the cold reality, the young man also felt a strong sense of powerlessness and fatigue. Just imagining himself living in such a world made him feel a bit depressed.

Ma En also saw the young man's mood at the moment and immediately spoke to comfort him:

"But that's why the Divine Firmament is so dazzling, and in addition to her, there are many powerful individuals who are angry and dissatisfied with injustice and darkness, and they are the Savior Alliance members who follow the Divine Firmament.

"And you must know that they are the most determined of these good people, and there are still many who have not made up their minds to risk their lives to fight, but still have kindness deeply buried in their hearts.

"Although they are not rushing to the front lines, they are also the pillars of those warriors.

"Many good people have fought, are fighting, and will fight for justice."

Hearing these words, the young man's eyes became brighter as he looked at Ma En:

"And Master, you are also one of them."

Ma En raised his hand and waved it:

"Due to the calculations of evil beings, I can't fight on the front lines anymore, but I will try my best to do some good deeds, such as cultivating kind-hearted children like you.

"If you were given a chance, would you choose to become someone like the Divine Firmament?"

The young man didn't expect Ma En to ask this, and fell into deep thought again, then shook his head slightly:

"I don't think I can become such a great person, I don't have that ability."

Ma En asked:

"What if you could?"

This question stumped the young man again, and he said with an extremely hesitant expression:

"Then I would definitely stand up against evil, but I really don't think I'm good at doing this kind of thing. Compared to fighting bad guys, I would rather heal those good people who have been hurt.

"So I'm actually particularly interested in the Dao of Pills, I want to become a doctor who can heal the wounded and save lives."

Ma En nodded slightly as he looked at him:

"Then what if I said that there is now an opportunity to help others in front of you?"

The young man looked at Ma En with some surprise and anticipation and asked:

"Master, do you want me to heal the sick and save people?"

Obviously, the young man was a bit excited about helping others, and he was even a bit eager to try.

But Ma En shook his head slightly, then asked:

"No, it's not others who need your help, it's me."

Shen Tianyi opened his mouth in surprise:

"Master?"

Ma En looked at him and asked:

"Are you willing to help me?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, but still nodded heavily:

"Of course, as long as I can do good, I will do my part."

Ma En looked out the window, then slowly said:

"I just mentioned that there is a mastermind behind the scenes dealing with me. Actually, I suspect that he will take advantage of our opportunity to accept disciples to arrange an undercover agent by my side, and according to my investigation, it seems to be true."

The young man had already thought of something, and his expression became a bit unbelievable:

"Master, are you saying that Senior Sister..."

But what he didn't expect was Ma En's reaction.

He shook his head:

"No, I'm talking about you."

The young man was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, then frowned slightly and began to think about whether there was any special meaning hidden in Ma En's words, and then he fell into strong doubt and incomprehension.

"Me?" the young man asked blankly.

Ma En nodded:

"That's right, but I know you are innocent, so I have a new suspect. What I'm about to say may be particularly difficult for you to accept, but according to our investigation...

"You are a pure white undercover agent cultivated by your grandfather, and he has many problems."

As Ma En said, Shen Tianyi did not immediately accept this statement:

"Impossible, my grandfather is a good person."

Ma En nodded:

"I am also willing to believe this, but all the evidence now points to him, so let me ask you...

"If your grandfather suddenly finds you and tells you a seemingly reasonable lie, asking you to do something that might be unfavorable to me, would you be likely to believe his lie?"

The young man's face instantly turned pale, but he still didn't admit Ma En's statement:

"Grandfather wouldn't do such a thing, I know..."

Ma En looked into his eyes and said:

"I am also more willing to believe this possibility, but I think you have had enough time to understand me this month. You know very well what I have done in the past, and you also know what the Divine Firmament has done.

"And if your grandfather was just an ordinary person, I would have no reason to target him, would I?"

The young man was still trying to argue:

"I believe you, Master, but maybe you made a mistake..."

Ma En continued:

"No matter what the truth is, you should be able to think that I am now firmly convinced that your grandfather is likely to be a subordinate of that mastermind, otherwise I wouldn't be telling you this."

The young man tightly closed his mouth, and his fists were clenched tightly.

He knew very well that Ma En was telling the truth, and Ma En couldn't be lying to him, because if what he said was false, then Ma En would have no reason or motivation to do this, after all, he couldn't attack his ordinary grandfather.

So in fact, the young man now vaguely believed what Ma En said, but he was still unwilling to accept it:

"Grandfather raised me for sixteen years, he couldn't have thought of the conflict between you and me now sixteen years ago, right?"

Ma En said the cruel truth with a calm expression:

"That's right, but some beings can easily take sixteen years to cultivate an undercover agent who may be needed, and for them, this time and energy is nothing, even if you are not used, it doesn't matter.

"And do you really think that you were suddenly detected with extremely rare roots, and suddenly you were able to become my disciple, is this a particularly reasonable thing?"

The young man's face became even paler. In fact, in the eyes of Ma En or outsiders, this may still be relatively reasonable, but Shen Tianyi himself couldn't believe that such a lucky thing would happen to him.

These days of happiness seemed like a dream to him, and now it seems...

Maybe this is really just a beautiful dream that will be awakened at any time.

If what Ma En said was true, it would mean that he had lived in a cruel lie for the first half of his life, which was exactly as he had learned through his senior sister - this is a cold world.

Seeing the young man fall silent and not say a word, Ma En also spoke:

"I came here because we need you to lower your grandfather's guard. I want you to cooperate with us to trap him with abnormal power, but if you really think your grandfather is not a bad person...

"Then why not come with us to see what his true face is like, after all, if this is really a misunderstanding, it won't do him any harm.

"And if he is really a bad person, your help may allow us to better defeat evil."

The young man slowly opened his mouth with a difficult expression and asked:

"Master, can you not use heavy hands on my grandfather?"

Ma En looked into his eyes and asked:

"Even if he is really a bad person?"

The young man lowered his head slightly, revealing an extremely ashamed and painful expression:

"But he is still my grandfather."

Shen Tianyi's current appearance perfectly matches Ma En's prediction, this is the reaction his grandfather wanted.

"I will try my best to control him," he promised the boy, "as long as it's not absolutely necessary."

The boy, with his head lowered, said weakly:

"Okay."
