I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

"Are you alright?"

Following the gentle inquiry, the dazzling sunlight forced Maen's eyes open, gradually allowing him to make out his surroundings.

The scorching sun still hung high in the sky, but the world it illuminated was nothing but a scene of devastation, with the incomplete ruins of the city everywhere, and the ground littered with various bodies.

And not far in front of Maen stood a heroic figure that he was already extremely familiar with.

Shenxiao was holding a long spear, gazing resolutely at the corpses before her.

"I'm fine," she replied. "They can't touch me."

Only then did Maen realize that the greeting just now had come from "his" body, and he wasn't in some free illusion; this was a memory that couldn't be changed.

Realizing this, he began to observe his surroundings.

Although there were many broken corpses on the ground around them, Maen didn't see any blood, and the cross-sections of their bodies had strange white spots.

"Even though you're Shenxiao, you still need to be careful," he said. "They can spread directly through the mind. If even you are accidentally replaced by them, we're completely finished."

Shenxiao said confidently:

"Although their mental patterns are difficult to predict, and they are also looking for ways to counter me, I have changed my prediction model, and they can't get close to me.

"Now, all that's left is to patiently wait for all the survivors to leave this place, and then we can officially execute the sterilization plan.

"It's also thanks to their core city being within your jurisdiction."

He smiled and said:

"You're welcome. Our intentions are exactly the same as yours. I can't just watch humanity be replaced by this strange thing. That would be bad for both you and me.

"Besides you, no one else can kill those seven Fungal Kings in succession."

Despite receiving praise, Shenxiao remained serious:

"Even if the sterilization plan is successfully executed, it will only destroy their mental network on the surface and destroy their ability to reproduce and parasitize directly through the mind, but we can't completely kill them.

"Their roots have spread throughout the underground of many cities. If we directly kill them, countless cities will collapse instantly, and if we show such an intention, they will do the same."

He nodded:

"That thing is too huge. No one can kill it in a short amount of time. I also suggest that you simply block its mental communication with the outside world and then slowly think of a solution.

"However, as long as it is sealed off, so that it can no longer cause large-scale outbreaks through the mind, then its threat to you will be much smaller. I believe you can solve this problem sooner or later."

Shenxiao nodded:

"The focus is on those infected people who have not yet erupted. They don't even know that they have been replaced by fungi. If we directly implement the extermination plan, tens of millions of 'people' in this world will be killed along the way..."

But at that moment, Maen suddenly noticed that Shenxiao's eyes changed, and she suddenly looked up at him.

Then she said with a serious expression:

"Something's coming."

He asked in confusion:

"What?"

Then Shenxiao suddenly turned her head and looked towards the distant horizon.

Dense white figures suddenly surged out like a tide. With the vision of this body, he could clearly see their appearance. They were all humans covered in white fluff.

At the same time, scattered among this group of white fungal people were some tall figures whose heads had completely turned into mushroom umbrella shapes, and the place that was originally their neck had turned into a long white mushroom stalk.

And in this sea of fungi, there were four giant white bodies like mountains. They no longer had anything close to a human appearance, like giant, obese mushrooms with arms and legs.

Shenxiao's face instantly became serious:

"Four Fungal Kings."

While speaking, Shenxiao also raised the long spear in her hand and directly aimed it at one of the giant mushrooms, and then suddenly threw it directly towards its location.

The long spear instantly landed on the giant mushroom, and then the burst of blazing flames instantly engulfed and submerged it completely, but the long spear did not stop there, but turned and flew towards other places.

But the position it aimed at was not the other three Fungal Kings.

In the distance where the long spear re-aimed, the fungal people on the ground also began to gather together, and then instantly re-twisted and gathered around one of the tall mushroom people as the center, forming a new mushroom mountain range.

The Fungal King from just now was using its mind to move and regenerate.

At the same time as Shenxiao made her move, Maen also watched his body raise its hand, and instantly countless fungal people were crushed into powder by some terrifying force, creating an open space with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters in a short moment.

But at the same time as these fungal people died, fungal filaments kept gushing out from the ground, starting to repair and manufacture their bodies again, and almost in the blink of an eye, the place that had just been cleared was filled again.

"They're going all out," he murmured, then looked at the other three Fungal Kings.

They were all advancing towards Shenxiao's position.

"Yes, their target is me," Shenxiao replied. "I see it. I think they have given up on the idea of completely replacing humans. This is their last struggle.

"They think that the only way to win is to infect my mind."

He asked:

"Is there a risk?"

Shenxiao nodded:

"Not much, but there is. If the guy underground finds a chance, it will personally take action. That could indeed infect me into becoming one of their members, and if it's the one taking action.

"I'm not confident that I can hold on until I can get treatment."

He nodded:

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave. Leave this place to me."

Shenxiao glanced at him:

"Okay, but you need to be careful. This place is full of dangers.

"Don't make any mistakes, or you might not be able to leave this place safely."

But he just smiled:

"They can't distort my mind. You should understand that, right? As for the body, I'm not worried about anything happening to this body either. I'm going to change to a new one sooner or later anyway."

But Shenxiao still insisted:

"Don't be careless. Maybe you've already made some kind of mistake."

Hearing this, he smiled somewhat arrogantly and said:

"Don't worry, the sun will always rise. Hurry up and leave."

Shenxiao nodded slightly, and then suddenly leaped out of his sight, and seeing this, he turned around and looked at the dense mass of fungi, revealing an arrogant smile.

Then…

The scorching sunlight pierced through "his" chest, engulfing the entire city.
