I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 35: 35. The Bureau of Anomalous Control (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

Ma En gently grasped the handle of door 213 with his index finger and thumb.

A hazy sensation flowed through his body, and several blurred images flickered across his retina, followed by a simple, ordinary word surfacing from the depths of his subconscious.

Exit.

Just as he had guessed, this wasn't an entrance at all. He definitely possessed other methods of reaching the Bureau of Anomalous Control, but he had completely "forgotten" them.

"Close your eyes," Ma En said to the girl, looking at the door. "Don't do anything without my permission."

"Okay," the girl obediently replied. "I'll stand here until you tell me to."

Ma En nodded and pushed open the door.

A sealed space constructed of silver-white metal appeared before them. This area was about three hundred square meters, and the floor and walls were all metal, devoid of any decorations or furniture.

He realized something:

"Come in."

The girl followed him in with her eyes closed.

"Non-employee entry detected. Initiating information gathering. Non-employee entity is a Class I unknown organism, not recorded in the information database. Threat level: extremely low," a mechanical voice echoed in Ma En's mind. "Do you want to initiate quarantine measures?"

"No need," he replied mentally, then closed the door behind him.

His consciousness churned like boiling seawater, and fragments of knowledge about this place resurfaced in Ma En's mind—and they came from the deepest corners, almost completely expelled from his memory.

Only now did Ma En understand the real reason he couldn't return to the Bureau of Anomalous Control.

The damage caused by the Unforgettable was far greater than he could realize, or rather, the information he could feel being "forgotten" was all that remained of the less damaged parts.

True forgetting meant that even the act of "no longer remembering" was difficult to realize.

The Unforgettable had erased the method of returning to the Bureau of Anomalous Control from his mind, so no matter what ideas Ma En had in mind, he couldn't find the right way—because the moment he was about to remember, the memory would be dragged back into the depths of his consciousness.

This was the scar left by the Unforgettable, and its purpose in doing so was also obvious: making Ma En forget how to return to the Bureau of Anomalous Control would help destroy his resistance.

This also meant that the existence of the Bureau of Anomalous Control could greatly increase his chances of winning.

Only by successfully returning to the Bureau of Anomalous Control could he possibly recall this memory, and Ma En suspected this might also be because he was now in the underground levels, and the Unforgettable's power had not yet spread here.

Fortunately, there was more than one way to return to the Bureau of Anomalous Control, and the past him had recorded the second path in writing.

Before being attacked, he could project his consciousness into the Bureau of Anomalous Control at any time, activate the teleportation device here, and spend thirty seconds bringing his physical body over, and he could also teleport back to his original position.

In addition to this, the Bureau of Anomalous Control could also build Bureau of Anomalous Control passages that could connect to reality. The one he had just entered was such a stable passage.

Moreover, the Bureau of Anomalous Control passage could choose whether to allow non-employee life forms to pass. Normally, employees without teleportation permissions had to rely on this to bring back anomalous items, so entrants would not directly return to the Bureau of Anomalous Control, but would appear in the quarantine space where they were now.

This place had the function of scanning and analyzing those who came, and could also be discarded at any time to prevent certain special anomalous entities from invading the Bureau of Anomalous Control.

For example, the Mimic Fungus, which had not completely replaced the consciousness of Bureau of Anomalous Control employees, might be accidentally brought here.

"Wait here," Ma En said to Ning Changkong.

He walked to half a meter in front of the wall, and then a door appeared in front of him, and after Ma En walked in, it immediately turned back into a metal wall.

After passing through two more doors, a corridor built of the same unknown alloy appeared before him, and information about this place was slowly pouring into his mind.

Director's Office, Control Department, Containment Department, Employee Dormitories, Conference Room…

With a change of mind, a list of information appeared before him.

[

Director: Ma En

Overall Anomaly Level: Ⅲ-3 (Ⅲ-5)

Anomalous Characteristics:

Mental Power Ⅲ-3 (Ⅲ-5)

You possess extraordinary mental power, with various basic mental abilities such as clairvoyance, telekinesis, and mental control resistance, and will naturally improve over time.

However, due to the attack by the "Unforgettable", the strength of this characteristic has significantly decreased.

Adaptive generation of basic cognitive impairment resistance is in progress.

There are things you can no longer realize.

Mental Damage

Your mental power is severely weakened.

Utilized Characteristics:

None.

When he saw the number after Ⅲ, Ma En naturally remembered its meaning. The Bureau of Anomalous Control used 1 to 5 to represent the strength of abilities in the same tier, and this was not a fixed value, but depended on the strength of other anomalous entities.

1 was weaker in the same tier, often those who had just obtained abilities, 2 was the average level of the same tier, most ability users stayed here, 3 was stronger in the same tier, 4 was the top level, and 5 represented the theoretical limit of strength.

However, the degree of anomaly may not indicate danger. The Mimic Fungus was also like this. It may not have strong single-unit combat abilities, but it had taken the lives of at least hundreds of thousands of people through concealment.

His previous danger level was slightly higher than his ability strength, probably because of the skills he once possessed and his identity as the Director of the Bureau.

And looking at the information above, his memory problem seemed to be slowly being repaired, which was why he kept recalling these fragments and common sense.

And there are utilizable characteristics…

Number of Contained Anomalous Entities

Class Ⅲ Anomalous Entities: 2

]

The Bureau of Anomalous Control could extract the characteristics from the contained anomalous entities and give them to employees, including the Director, to continue controlling other anomalous entities.

[

Class Ⅰ Anomaly Value: 6.2

Class Ⅱ Anomaly Value: 4

Class Ⅲ Anomaly Value: 2

]

Moreover, the Bureau of Anomalous Control could extract certain anomalous entities, of course, this could only be done after they were controlled, and normally most anomalous entities could only extract less than 1 point of energy of the same tier.

These energies could be used in various aspects, including building Bureau of Anomalous Control passages.

He looked at the list of the Containment Department, and then noticed one of the two anomalous entities.

[
