I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 46 45. The Fallen (Seeking Readership~)

Ma En pushed the door open and walked out.

Qin Lan was standing outside the door, looking at him with a smile:

"The test results are excellent. Your memory wiping ability is nearly perfect."

According to Hu Weifeng's earlier statement, Ma En's mental strength was stronger than his, and while the ability to wipe memories might not be as valuable to other organizations, it was a power the Coordination Bureau had been dreaming of.

Because other organizations didn't have to worry about hiding their tracks from the public—they could just kill the witnesses.

But they couldn't do that.

Hu Weifeng followed him out, standing behind Ma En and nodding slightly to his superior.

She continued:

"If you're available, we happen to have a prisoner who needs you to wipe their memory. We captured a fanatical demon worshiper half a month ago, and we can't pry open his mouth no matter what.

"But before we go to see him, I have something I want to say."

Ma En asked curiously:

"What is it?"

Qin Lan paused slightly:

"I promised that you could enjoy the obligations of an unscheduled member and the rights of a full member here, but things have changed a bit. Remember that bastard you saw at the door?"

Ma En nodded.

"He told the leaders of the supervisory department about you." Qin Lan revealed the truth directly. "He just observed your testing process, and he also demanded that we make you a full member within fifteen days, and he even suggested that we use some tricks in the process."

Hu Weifeng, who was behind them, pretended not to hear anything.

Ma En said in surprise:

"And then you came out and told me about it."

She nodded:

"Neither Ren Shizhi nor the members of the Supervisory Department are ability users, so they can't understand your and my thoughts and mentality at all. If they really force the issue, it will only make the situation worse.

"I even suspect they know this isn't the best way, but their goal has nothing to do with what's right."

Ma En asked doubtfully:

"If I don't want to become a full member, what else can they do?"

Qin Lan said with a complicated expression:

"They have many underhanded methods. For example, if Ren Shizhi finds you, he will definitely use the company's affairs to coerce you into signing a contract.

"The contract I'm talking about isn't a written document, but a type of abnormal contract that we have a way to mass-produce."

Ma En said:

"You could indeed do that."

If it were Ma En himself, he might do something similar.

This wasn't a morally corrupt approach either, after all, the Coordination Bureau did help him settle the company's problems, and it was reasonable to exchange benefits under this condition.

Qin Lan shook her head:

"No, I don't think that's the right approach.

"Of course, I don't think the Coordination Bureau should make selfless contributions, but in my opinion, such behavior is too short-sighted. If we can help the weak without asking for anything in return, we can create an image worthy of trust for new ability users, and when that time comes...

"We will become the most trusted organization for most ability users, they will no longer resist our help, and this will allow many ability users with ideals to actively join us."

Hearing this, Hu Weifeng's eyes showed strong affirmation.

"But until now, our name is only slightly better than other organizations." Qin Lan said with emotion, "This is the goal of many members of the Coordination Bureau, but it remains only at the level of imagination."

Ma En exclaimed:

"Sounds like you're very noble."

"Not to that extent, we just want to maintain the most basic fairness." She replied, "I'm telling you this because I don't want them to succeed. There's nothing wrong with signing a formal contract, but ability users should make their own choices.

"That being said, this is a conflict between me and the Supervisory Department, so I will take care of it. If Ren Shizhi wants to make any small moves, just come to me directly."

She led Ma En down several flights of stairs, into the underground structure of the building.

Below was the prison.

Qin Lan led them into one of the cells.

Inside stood a ferocious man whose body was covered in blood runes drawn with sharp weapons, and whose limbs were all controlled by special shackles, but when they walked in, he gave the newly arrived Ma En a bloodthirsty smile.

This looked like a simple, cheap version of a containment room.

"I am a warrior." The demon worshiper said contemptuously, "You can't make me submit. If I were you, I would have cut off my head, because that's the only thing you can do to me."

Qin Lan said to Ma En:

"Can you erase his loyalty to his demon master?"

Ma En walked forward and then raised his hand.

Hearing what Qin Lan said, the demon worshiper showed violent anger:

"You cowards! Don't touch my faith..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ma En's hand had already touched him.

When he retracted his hand, the demon worshiper first looked blank, and then panic suddenly surged from his heart, replacing the steadfastness and anger just now.

"No..." The memories of being interrogated slowly became terrifying in his mind, "Don't hurt me, I don't want to be tortured like that again..."

He no longer had any reason to persist.

Qin Lan and Hu Weifeng, who witnessed this scene, suddenly realized the power of memory erasure.

A once strong-willed fanatic had turned into this in the blink of an eye.

As long as Ma En touched them, the things they insisted on might collapse.

This was even more terrifying than death for them.

Hu Weifeng walked forward:

"Leave the rest to me."

As he advanced, the demon worshiper's fear slowly subsided, and calm quietly emerged.

"As long as you tell the truth, there will be no more torture." Hu Weifeng said in a gentle tone, "We don't want to do this either, so...

"Can you tell me, what is the purpose of your appearance in Dongxin Prefecture?"

The demon worshiper knew that the other party could see if he was lying:

"What I know is also very limited. I only heard that they are preparing a ceremony here to summon our respective masters to Dongxin Prefecture. It is said that this is to take revenge on the church."

Ma En blinked.

If his sister didn't work in the church, this might be good news for him.

Qin Lan noticed the information in his words:

"Respective masters?"

The demon worshiper nodded:

"Three demon-worshiping secret societies and two devil-worshiping secret societies are involved in this matter, and the leader is the leader of the La Nudaster secret society."

Qin Lan said in surprise and doubt:

"The Black Robe?"

Ma En noticed the La Nudaster secret society he mentioned.

Isn't that the church where Xiang Yudi is?

Qin Lan said seriously:

"This is beyond our ability. The Black Robe is only a Tier III ability user, but he has a Tier IV devil artifact, and his danger even exceeds that of an ordinary Tier IV ability user."

"Can that artifact make him very strong?" Ma En asked curiously.

Qin Lan said with some anxiety:

"He has killed two Tier IV ability users. In the church's wanted list we obtained, only the Fallen One who attacked their saint four years ago in the nearby states can be compared with him.

"How could the Black Robe appear in Dongxin Prefecture..."

Ma En suddenly realized something was wrong.

Wait...

The Fallen One?
