I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 62 61. Crisis Arrives (Seeking Follow-up Reads~)

Eastern New State Suburbs.

A black sedan slowly pulled to a stop in an open space.

Through the passenger window, Ma En gazed at the three-story detached house a few dozen meters away. Outside, an enclosed area was filled with lush, colorful vegetation. Two large, muscular dogs with drooping ears lay on the doorstep, and several cats relaxed on custom-made shelves, basking in the sun.

This was the home of a demon worshiper who had retired many years ago. According to Qin Lan, his understanding of demons surpassed that of many so-called secret society leaders, and their task was to find out what these worshipers were planning.

After the questioning, Ma En would erase the man's memory to prevent other believers from tracking him down using magic. This was the retiree's biggest concern when arranging the meeting.

If they hadn't learned that Ma En could erase memories, this meeting almost wouldn't have been possible.

But this wasn't Ma En's purpose in coming here.

It had already been proven that the people who knew the most about angels were these hellish believers. In the secret society that Yu Di belonged to, descriptions of this race weren't even considered forbidden knowledge.

Your opponents are always the ones who know you best.

Hu Weifeng locked the car, and they got out and walked towards the old believer's residence.

"Is this your first field mission?" Hu Weifeng asked, striking up a conversation. "Have you had similar experiences before?"

Ma En replied:

"Going to ask questions? At least, I don't remember doing it."

The young man smiled.

"Don't be nervous. I've done this dozens of times. If something unexpected really happens, just stay put. Don't think that because I usually interrogate prisoners, I'm not confident in a fight.

"But this meeting was arranged by those guys from the Oversight Department, so I probably won't get a chance to show off."

Ma En casually asked:

"What's the deal with the Oversight Department? It seems like neither you nor Qin Lan like them very much."

Hu Weifeng shook his head helplessly:

"They're the people sent from above to supervise us. They're always worried that we'll develop ambitions and secretly form a force that's detrimental to them. Can you believe how ridiculous that is?

"I can understand their thinking. In my years at the Coordination Bureau, I've seen many truly inhuman beasts. Their level of danger is indeed worth worrying about, but the problem is...

"As long as Qin Luan is here, the Coordination Bureau can't have these problems. The only thing the Oversight Department does is trip us up, and if Qin Luan wants to do the things they're worried about...

"This might sound arrogant, but in my opinion, they have no way to stop her."

He seemed very proud of his identity when he said this.

Ma En, while thinking about how to ask for the information he needed, casually asked:

"Is Qin Luan very strong?"

Hu Weifeng looked at him in surprise, as if saying, why would you ask such a question?

"She has achieved a full thirty-seven victories at the V-level, and at most she was able to fight four at once and still have the upper hand. She has killed a full seven V-level ability users, including twice in ten minutes killing two of the same rank.

"Most importantly, she has never been defeated.

"You know, V-levels are different from us. It's much more difficult for them to kill other ability users of the same rank than it is for us."

"Once might be a fluke, maybe she just happened to counter the enemy, but these records are enough to prove that she has no rivals within the V-level, which is why we are qualified to manage other organizations."

At the same time as they were talking.

On the top floor of the building stood four hellish believers with mysterious symbols and magical tattoos painted on their faces. Two of them were from the Lanudast Secret Society, and the other two belonged to another devil-worshiping church.

Ren Shizhi stood in front of them and asked:

"Have you prepared the trap?"

Bloodhand, from Lanudast, said:

"It's done, but it's completely unnecessary and wasted a lot of our resources. You need to compensate us, but if you're willing to leave their bodies to us, that's fine too.

"They are excellent materials."

Ren Shizhi refused coldly:

"Don't push your luck. Killing him is your reward. If we hadn't created the opportunity, it would have been almost impossible for you to kill these two mental ability users.

"Remember, Ma En must be kept alive, and Hu Weifeng's body must be left in place. We need to do some minor processing on it so that the Coordination Bureau doesn't find out about our deal."

Bloodhand looked at Ren Shizhi with interest:

"That's really interesting. Aren't you guys a team? I remember you're also a member of the Coordination Bureau, and your superiors often have dealings with us. In that case, why can't you turn a blind eye to this matter?

"It's just killing a few hundred people, right? We can trade you something more valuable."

Ren Shizhi shrugged:

"The Coordination Bureau is not something we can control. It's that Qin Luan can't accept civilian casualties.

"If you really want to reach an agreement with us, why not just kill her first? Then you can name any price you want, as long as it doesn't damage the interests of the Federation, a few thousand more people don't matter."

Bloodhand was speechless by his words. They had all heard of Qin Luan's reputation.

The Divine Firmament Walker was synonymous with invincibility.

But although Ren Shizhi said this, he didn't actually think so. In his eyes, these hellish believers were an important link, but the existence of Qin Luan and the Coordination Bureau was also essential to the Federation.

Not only because he could find opportunities to climb up when there were different approaches and disputes.

Moreover, the Coordination Bureau and the Oversight Department had reached a delicate balance. Their simultaneous existence could make the Federation forever great. He had once heard Qin Luan's speech on the Great Collapse in private, and could vaguely feel the existence of something while listening.

After all, he was also an ability user.

Ren Shizhi didn't think that there would be any Great Collapse coming. This was just Qin Luan's exaggerated statement, but they were indeed preventing something.

He could imagine that if the Federal government lost the Coordination Bureau and Qin Luan, it would face countless difficulties again—problems that had been temporarily controlled because of their existence.

"Are you sure everything is okay?" he asked for the last time.

Bloodhand nodded:

"Even if Qin Lan came here in person, we would have the confidence to deal with her, but she won't come, right?"

Ren Shizhi said:

"She can't leave, but don't underestimate them, not Hu Weifeng or Ma En, especially the latter."

Bloodhand said impatiently:

"I think you underestimate us. We are not the pampered guys in your bureau, let alone two intelligence personnel whose specific abilities have been exposed.

"But rest assured, a lion uses its full strength even to catch a rabbit."

He nodded in satisfaction:

"Then we'll meet at the handover point."
