I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

A hazy silver mist slowly spread with the wind, a graceful figure appearing intermittently on the lakeside, her shapely legs playfully kicking up waves on the water's surface, anyone who gazed upon her would be lost in the transformation.

In the distance, two illusory figures appeared. The woman raised her head to look in their direction, her expression hidden beneath the mist.

They had not yet noticed the woman's presence, advancing aimlessly through the fog.

"Where are we going?" the male of the two suddenly stopped.

His female companion blinked in confusion:

"I don't know."

"Why are you asking that?"

Li Lingxiao immediately fell into bewilderment:

"I'm not sure, I just want to know where we're going."

Li Lingxiao remembered that the woman in front of him was Wang Zhiyuan, the Moon's Chosen of Gewen Province. Not long ago, they had joined forces with the local Salvation Alliance members to raise the secret curtain, and the leader was…

Blank.

But what else?

He couldn't remember anything else.

Wang Zhiyuan ignored his question and started walking forward again. After a brief, meaningless moment of contemplation, Li Lingxiao raised his legs, driven by an instinctive impulse.

"Then where are we?" Li Lingxiao continued to ask, "Where are we right now?"

Wang Zhiyuan replied as she walked:

"By the lake."

Another long silence.

"Then who am I?" Li Lingxiao asked, "I feel like it's not normal to not know who I am."

But Wang Zhiyuan did not answer him.

Forward.

Endless forward.

Just when Li Lingxiao had almost forgotten everything, he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

"You are Li Lingxiao, a Moon's Chosen, a loyal and humble servant of the great Moon God."

Upon hearing these words, his mind seemed to light up, and he quickly recalled his identity and past. That's right, he and Wang Zhiyuan were two Moon's Chosen, and also soulmates who could entrust their lives to each other…

Wait, what soulmates?

No, he and Wang Zhiyuan were just ordinary colleagues.

Or were they.

"Who are you?" Li Lingxiao asked, holding the question in his heart.

Wang Zhiyuan replied:

"We are all Moon's Chosen, but I am a noble chosen one who has received the Moon God's revelation."

Li Lingxiao asked with an unchanged expression:

"Then where are we?"

Wang Zhiyuan told him:

"In a dream, your master is the master of dreams and minds."

The woman by the lake had disappeared.

He asked one last question:

"Where are we going?"

The woman curled the corners of her lips:

"Reality."

He fell into darkness.

Noisy sounds instantly flooded Li Lingxiao's mind, and then the gentle light on his eyelids stimulated him to slowly open his eyes.

The lights in the room had already been turned on.

Wang Zhiyuan was standing on the balcony, gazing at the distant night sky and stars.

"I didn't expect it to feel like this. I haven't tried entering a mortal body before. Your eyes and ears allow me to perceive the world, giving me a sense of crowding and narrowness, but for some reason…"

"When these senses combine, the world I can experience is so harmonious and beautiful."

Li Lingxiao stood up, as if he hadn't noticed the strangeness in Wang Zhiyuan's words, and asked:

"What are you looking at?"

The Moon God replied calmly:

"Your world."

"Now I understand a little why my past compatriots always wanted to control this place. You might not believe it, but I actually don't have any chosen ones."

"Because I can't descend into your world in the form of an avatar."

This was because the principle of avatar descent was closely related to their form of existence, and her form of existence was different from all other gods—she existed as a unified mental entity, but she usually didn't need the ability of an avatar.

She could completely observe the world directly through the eyes of her followers, and even remotely control their bodies. If she hadn't encountered Ma En, this weakling, she would never have tried to enter a mortal body.

But the special nature of Ma En made it impossible for her to treat him the way she had in the past.

Moreover, her other attempts had failed. Not only were the best of the Thunder God's followers no match for him, but Shen Zhihe, who had been secretly influenced, had also completely broken contact with her.

Therefore, she could only destroy Shen Zhihe's mind in near-desperation.

If she continued to stay in people's hearts, she would have no way to find Ma En.

And the worst thing was that the Moon's Chosen were actually particularly unsuitable for dealing with Ma En, because their power came from herself. The gods' followers were, to some extent, a derivative of the gods' power.

Therefore, the more powerful the Moon's Chosen became, the closer they got to her, and they might find it difficult to notice Ma En, or even see nothing, just like her.

And Moon's Chosen like Li Lingxiao and Wang Zhiyuan, who were more ordinary, although they could almost normally contact and fight Ma En, they simply didn't have the ability to deal with him.

In other words, after Lei Yu and Shen Zhihe had completely disappeared, she had no other way to deal with Ma En, and she couldn't find anyone with the ability to approach Ma En, as if they had disappeared from the world overnight.

In desperation, she could only "descend" into this body.

The Moon God entered this body in a different way from her compatriots.

She first used what she had learned from the Secret Entity to paint Wang Zhiyuan's consciousness "white", and then transformed her own mind into a suitable form and stuffed it in, which would inevitably weaken her power.

Relying solely on this body, she could only exert the power of a top-tier IV-rank and a weaker V-rank at most. Although this was much stronger than the avatars of other gods, she was also more restricted than other gods.

When controlling this body, she, as the entire mental entity, could not take care of her other followers in the form of a god, which was why she had never entered the bodies of her followers in the past.

If she wanted to achieve a similar effect in the past, she could completely contact other creatures with her mental body, after all, not everyone could hide their existence from her like Ma En.

The Moon God turned to look at her servant:

"What do you think of Ma En?"

Li Lingxiao replied:

"I…"

As expected, she still couldn't hear anything.

But…

Now she could touch him.

Going to sleep early today, will continue coding tomorrow.
