I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chen Yun entered the elevator.

She was now filled with doubts about this dinner.

Although Mo Jiangwen had said that he was just using it as an excuse to deepen cooperation with the church, and this explanation was obviously much more reasonable than him doing it for her sake, even if he really had feelings for her, he was just inviting her along the way.

She herself shouldn't affect Mo Jiangwen's donation. If she hadn't gone to the dinner today, Mo Jiangwen would have found some other reason to renegotiate this deal with the church—for them, it was just business.

However, Mo Jiangwen's behavior in the subsequent conversation made Chen Yun feel something was off. He had found out that she was still paying attention to Ma En's affairs before they even met, and had even specifically collected corresponding information in advance.

During the exchange, Chen Yun also felt a bit awkward. She wasn't the type to be easily led by the nose, but for some reason, the conversation still fell under Mo Jiangwen's control. Afterwards, she couldn't figure out how he had done it.

This was also why she chose to leave immediately after receiving the message.

If it wasn't necessary, Chen Yun didn't want to have any more contact with this guy.

In reality, she wasn't as certain as he thought she was that she would go looking for him again.

The message Chen Yun had just received mentioned the information Mo Jiangwen had told her at the dinner table—that she had spent money in the Southern Federation to contact informants and was constantly buying Ma En's information through the dark web.

Although this wasn't a small expense for her, she could barely afford it. If it really came down to it, she could take out a loan from the bank with her status as a church pastor, but this was enough to support her in getting news about Ma En, without Mo Jiangwen's intervention.

After all, what was most important to her now wasn't to know Ma En's situation. Although emotionally she wanted to keep track of Ma En's movements, this wasn't a realistic idea, nor was it really a good approach for Ma En.

She was now focused on gaining a position in the church.

The elevator doors slowly opened.

Standing in the corridor directly opposite her were several people, walking towards her. To her surprise, two of them seemed to be clergymen of the Holy Church, but she hadn't seen these two faces before, and the other people with them didn't look like simple characters either.

Chen Yun quietly reached into her bosom, then walked towards them with a natural expression.

She passed by them without incident.

That was close.

Chen Yun arrived at her door.

But at the moment she pushed the door open, she instinctively felt something was wrong. She took out the hand she had been holding in her bosom and pointed what she was holding at the inside of the door.

"Hey!" The man inside her room exclaimed in surprise, looking at the black pistol pointed at him with a shocked expression.

Chen Yun slightly lowered the muzzle:

"Bishop Fu, what are you doing in my room?"

Bishop Fu looked at the black pistol with a serious expression:

"Don't you want to explain this to me? I don't think you have a gun license, do you?

"That's illegal."

Chen Yun looked down at the pistol, but still held it tightly:

"I'm sorry, but Bishop Ding's death has hit me hard. I just feel like I'll need this thing someday."

The second half of the sentence was indeed true. Although she hadn't really figured out what to do with this gun, nor did she really have the concrete idea of using a weapon, after Ma En was wanted...

She felt that she would definitely need it.

While collecting Ma En's information through various illegal channels, she also slightly approached other gray industries, and then naturally purchased this pistol.

"Then what are these?" Bishop Fu stood up, revealing several guns of different lengths behind him. "These don't look like they're for self-defense."

Chen Yun blinked innocently:

"I'm a bit insecure..."

"Chen Yun!" Bishop Fu interrupted her heavily, his expression angry with a hint of helplessness. "Who brought you into contact with these things? I can't imagine you doing such a thing behind our backs. You know lying is against His teachings, right?

"That's not the only mistake you've made."

Seeing this, Chen Yun's expression also became a bit more serious:

"Bishop Fu, of course I will follow His teachings. I know I shouldn't overstep the laws of the mortal world, nor should I hide from my colleagues and come into contact with sin.

"But I'm not a child anymore. He asks us to act with kindness and justice, but how many of us truly perfectly follow His teachings?"

She knew very well that these bishops were almost all involved in some not-so-legal areas. Although it didn't reach the level of murder and arson, the church also gained considerable benefits by exploiting loopholes in the law.

Otherwise, who would serve the gods so sincerely?

Bishop Fu shook his head heavily:

"No, but you're different, you...

"You are a kind and pure child. We have high expectations for you. Now that the gods have not yet returned, we have to stand in the mud to gain a foothold in this terrible world, but we do this so that you can stay away from these dirty things.

"But you, but you..."

He looked at Chen Yun with some disappointment.

Chen Yun shook her head and said:

"There is no must.

"And I have my own views on good and evil. I haven't used these things to hurt anyone."

Unlike them.

Bishop Fu asked angrily:

"Really? Then how do you explain what's on the computer? The illegal transaction records on those websites, Chen Yun...

"Do you know that your brother is a dangerous fugitive?"

He found it.

Chen Yun fell silent.

It wasn't that she had any regrets about what she had done, but she couldn't think of how to answer Bishop Fu's questions.

Bishop Fu pointed to her computer and said:

"They say you're very professional and even know how to erase your traces on the Internet. I don't want to know how you learned these things, but I want to ask you what you want to do by collecting these."

Chen Yun asked:

"They?"

Bishop Fu said sternly:

"What you shouldn't have tried to find the most are the so-called magic and divine arts, as well as the secrets of our church. This is worse than your wrong ideas about your brother, and it is these that have attracted the investigation of the Tribunal, exposing all your illegal activities in front of us.

"If I hadn't stopped them, you would have been taken away by now."

Chen Yun's expression became even more excited:

"So it's true?"

The church's external claim was that the Tribunal had been disbanded in the Middle Ages.

Bishop Fu shook his head with disappointment:

"That's right, you might have been able to come into contact with these things soon, but not now. The church will conduct a comprehensive investigation of you, confiscate these illegal firearms, and let you re-receive the correct education."

Chen Yun asked:

"Because I inquired about the church's secrets?"

Bishop Fu scolded in a strong tone:

"No, it's because of your fugitive brother. He is a murderer who kills like flies. The wanted order says that he killed more than twenty righteous special service personnel in East New State. Can't you see these words?

"Or is it that when facing your brother's problem, the morality we taught you is no longer so important."

Chen Yun denied:

"No, of course not. I still clearly understand good and evil, right and wrong, but I won't easily believe what the Federation tells me. Ma En and I have lived together for more than twenty years. I know better than you what kind of person he is.

"Some people will easily change and waver, but that's because they never knew who they were from the beginning.

"Ma En is not that kind of person. He would not do what you see."

Bishop Fu sighed:

"You love him very much. I understand this feeling...

"Sometimes love will blind you, causing you to go astray without even realizing it, and even think you are on the right path.

"Love is the most vibrant force. Only hatred and it can make kind-hearted angels fall into hell without hesitation."

He looked at Chen Yun with sincere eyes:

"This is not your fault. You and we are the same mortals. We cannot always walk on the right path.

"We can only constantly correct our mistakes."

But Chen Yun's words disappointed him greatly:

"I'm not wrong."

Bishop Fu looked at the girl in front of him in confusion:

"How did I not realize you were such a stubborn girl? The truth is right in front of you...

"Your brother Ma En is an evil murderer. You cannot help and protect him, no matter how deep your love for him is. How can you not see such a simple fact?"

Chen Yun's next words shocked the bishop completely:

"This is not your fault.

"None of us are wrong. Even if our ideas are opposed to each other, it doesn't mean that one of us is right and the other is wrong. Reality is not such a simple black and white. We are just standing at different angles.

"I can completely understand your thoughts. In your opinion, this is the right thing to do for me.

"The me in your eyes is refusing to see the evil in Ma En because I am affected by family affection, but in fact, this is not the case. If Ma En really did something wrong, I would never protect him, nor do I have the right to forgive him on behalf of the victims.

"But in fact, you are also blinded by your concern for me. You think I can't properly handle my affection for my brother, but as you said, we are all mortals who can't always walk on the right path. Your basis is everything in your eyes.

"But you haven't seen the Ma En in my eyes—no one can see him, so only I can make such a judgment. I understand that you who can't see the scenery in my eyes will definitely not understand my thoughts.

"But I hope you can believe me, just like I believe in him."

Bishop Fu opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond to Chen Yun's answer.

The arguments she used to refute him were all the words he had just used to teach her, and Bishop Fu couldn't say anything at all, because refuting these words was self-contradictory.

The problem now is not whether one of them is right and the other is wrong.

But whether he is willing to believe Chen Yun.

And he is willing to believe Chen Yun in both reason and emotion.

Chen Yun has used clear logic to prove that she understands what she is doing and also knows how others view her. If it were someone else in front of him, he would have given up persuading her.

But if it weren't Chen Yun who did this, she would have been taken away by the Tribunal long ago.

Fortunately, the independence of the Tribunal has been reduced a lot under the new Pope's reforms in recent years, otherwise they might have taken action directly without contacting him, and if that were the case, there would definitely be a misunderstanding.

Now he is the only one in the Jinrong Prefecture Church who fully knows Chen Yun's identity...

And the responsibility she carries on her shoulders.

"I am willing to believe you." His tone returned to calm. "But this doesn't mean you are right. You may still just be using excellent arguments to dispel my doubts. Trust cannot replace the truth.

"And the church and the Tribunal don't have that much patience. In their opinion, you seem to be trying to abuse the power of the church and other things to protect a criminal. The situation in my eyes is not much different from what they think.

"You can indeed believe in your brother, but I will not accept you using this method to resist the Federation's judgment.

"The Tribunal has decided to sentence you. You can pack your clothes, because they will take you away from here soon and lead you back to the right path, and you can also take this opportunity to come into contact with those things you care about...

"Divine arts."

They originally planned to treat Chen Yun in a more gentle way, but the current terrible situation made them change their minds.

Chen Yun looked at him with a firm expression:

"I will not leave.

"I am his sister, and it is my responsibility to take care of him."

Bishop Fu did not take her resistance to heart. Chen Yun would change her current thoughts after going to the Tribunal:

"I am not asking for your opinion. You understand yourself...

"The church does have some privileges in the secular world. We can take you away directly."

Chen Yun silently aimed the gun at his chest again:

"No, you can't."

Bishop Fu said confidently:

"You won't shoot.

"Because you are too kind."

"You're right." As she spoke, she aimed the gun at Bishop Fu's thigh. "I can't aim at your chest and pull the trigger, but I can shoot through your thigh, and you can enjoy the best treatment without leaving any sequelae.

"You can forcibly take me away, but this is the direction in which things will develop."

She knew she would use it.

Bishop Fu smiled:

"It's okay, child, you can shoot me.

"Because He is protecting His followers."

It was also time to show Chen Yun the power of the gods in the mortal world, and then she would realize what was right.

Although doing so might make her resent him for a short time, as long as she was properly guided, Chen Yun would understand that this was for her own good. She would also slowly accept reality.

But just as Chen Yun was about to pull the trigger.

Dong, dong.

"Is anyone home?"
