I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 72 71. Devil's Words (Seeking Follow-up Reads~)

Ma En asked thoughtfully:

"So, what are you doing here..."

Bai Lanzhu said:

"Like I said, the nature of demons isn't about superficial things, but almost all demons are morally bad people. After all, we are a group of avengers, and the Holy Church has shaped a positive image. In the process of resistance, killing innocents is difficult to avoid.

"Therefore, most souls abandon worldly morality soon after becoming demons, but a few have a bottom line and decide to fight the Church in a gentler way. This is the Hermit Sect.

"Members of the Hermit Sect do not participate in any worldly disputes. Generally speaking, we only help those persecuted by the Church, so that mortals realize the true face of the Church and organize resistance among their own people.

"My and Xiao Ning's father are members of the Hermit Sect, and after we had her, we basically stopped going out."

This was consistent with the information Ma En had learned from Hobart, Xiang Yudi, and the Coordination Bureau.

He asked with a puzzled expression:

"Then why didn't you tell her the truth?"

Ning Wuqu said:

"She grew up in mortal society. Even if she doesn't believe in the Church, she will definitely think that demons are not good things. We haven't figured out how to tell her about this, and it just so happened that we had a very important job at the time...

"So at that time, we let her go to the mental hospital first."

The truth was not as simple as he said.

At that time, they had a very dangerous job, and they could even have to fight dangerous angels at any time. And if they were discovered by those monsters, they wouldn't care whether they were members of the Hermit Sect or not.

Angels and demons are mortal enemies.

Bai Lanzhu said:

"I know it's hard for you to believe what we say, after all, in the past you've only heard that the Church and angels are good, and demons are bad, but since you didn't tell your colleagues about seeing Xiao Ning in the future, I would like to ask you not to reveal our identities."

But no matter what, when Ma En came to them, they had to change their identities again and go to other cities to live in seclusion. Entrusting their safety to others was not a smart thing to do.

Moreover, their work had not made much progress over the years, and there was no point in staying here anymore.

Ma En replied:

"Of course, but I still have some things I want to ask.

"Do you know what those hell worshippers are doing in East New State now?"

Bai Lanzhu showed a look of disgust:

"Black Robes, we've heard of that notorious devil worshipper."

Ma En asked:

"You seem to hate devils very much."

Bai Zhulan explained:

"The first devil was also a demon. He found a loophole in the Hell Oath, and by abandoning all his power, he was able to break free from the constraints of needing revenge.

"And in the process, he found some of the rules by which the Hell Oath operates—that is, exchange.

"Although this devil abandoned the gifts of Hell, he knew how to use Hell to trade. Souls, power, lifespan, almost anything can be exchanged through Hell itself.

"Devils are former demons who have abandoned hatred and oaths and only care about their own interests.

"All demons hate them, and if we have the chance, we will kill any devil."

Ning Wuqu continued:

"But there is one thing that can make us cooperate temporarily.

"That is the Church.

"As far as I know, they want to join forces in East New State to create a gate to Hell. After it is completed, three Tier IV powerful demons will descend to the mortal world. The three demons will lead their servants into the Church and kill the members of the Holy Church in East New State.

"Then, they will begin to hunt angels.

"The four-winged angel watching over East New State and the legendary saint whose identity is unknown will be their highest rewards."

Bai Lanzhu shook her head:

"In this process, perhaps innocent people will die, but killing mortals is just seasoning for those demons, and in order to prevent the Church's image from improving, the demons will cover up their tracks.

"But devils are different.

"The souls of mortals are the only thing they care about. Of course, devils will also act covertly, but this is in order to obtain enough souls.

"You must have heard of certain plagues that swept through the city but disappeared quietly. That is how high-level devils collect souls."

Ning Wuqu looked into Ma En's eyes and said:

"My suggestion is, don't ask us how to stop these demons, and don't tell your superiors about these things. The right thing to do is to let our compatriots take revenge.

"Because demons may kill hundreds of civilians, and devils may take away tens of thousands of souls.

"But before you stop us, you have to think about how the Church, in the name of witch trials alone, publicly killed over a million civilians in those nine dark centuries. This is just what can be found in history books, and the real number must have reached tens of millions.

"I haven't even counted the ones directly killed by the angels, the ones they indirectly harmed, and the ones who died in other circumstances. You must know that mortals have not always been kept in the dark. Many ambitious rulers in history have resisted the Church, and the end result was the sudden collapse of these countries.

"Think about it, the many demons in so-called Hell are just a drop in the bucket of those who died tragically because of the Church.

"I admit that the demons' resistance is definitely not a just war. Members of the Hermit Sect do not advocate this approach, but we will not try to stop them, because compared to our enemies, the demons are simply harmless little white rabbits.

"If you want to stop us, at least don't say it's out of a pursuit of justice, because if that's the case, what you should do is kill all the clergy.

"In that case, all the demons in Hell will applaud and cheer for you, and guarantee never to infringe on human interests again."

Bai Lanzhu added:

"But if you want to kill devils, we also support it."

Ma En nodded thoughtfully and said:

"Next, I want to ask some very special questions. If possible, I hope we can guarantee what we just said and keep these things in this room. If you need it, I can also provide help...

"I can erase memories."

Ning Wuqu and Bai Lanzhu looked at Ma En warily, wondering what he wanted to do.

He said sincerely:

"You just mentioned that members of the Hermit Sect would help those persecuted by angels. Actually, to be honest...

"I am one of them."

The two demons looked at him in astonishment.

Bai Lanzhu raised her eyebrows and said:

"You're not joking, are you? Although we are quite grateful to you, it doesn't mean we will casually believe what you say. If you want to ask something, you can just say it, no need to be like this..."

Ma En interrupted:

"I am the Fallen."
